To the pain!

Y'all are a bunch of filthy enablers!

Specifically, I'm looking at kurukami.

I have a scene wherein not!Harry is shot between the bars of a small cage by a dart pistol. kurukami pointed out that one of these would be more effective--and also plays to not!Harry's needle phobia a whole lot better. Because it's a whole different vibe between getting shot with a dart needle versus getting stabbed with one, at least to me. Stabbing seems a whole lot more personal.

So, yeah, there's a scene that's getting rewritten slightly. Now More Evil!™

In other news, I made another wallpaper based on the template from the ones I did yesterday:



( 1024x600 under the cut )

If anyone knows of other good Sherlock Holmes stills, point me that way plz? *puppy eyes* And yes, I've seen the one of him bleeding in the pit. YUM.

In other other news, GO STEELERS. Game starts in 45 minutes...

Changing three damned paragraphs in this story shouldn't be this hard.

But it's gone from "all his sarcasm circuits are firing" (as they do; he's got a whole different smartass thing than not!Tony does, but he has a mouth on him for sure) to "ohholyshit needles BAD and I can't frakking breathe." So it's a whole different vibe.

Yes, as I pointed out in a previous post, not!Harry would rather get shot with a gun than shot with a syringe--even if that gun is ultimately firing a needle at him.

So would I, frankly--dart gun vs pole syringe is a no-brainer, because I can't see the dart from the gun coming, whereas a pole syringe is pretty damn personal.

I fired off an email to the good folks at ZooPharm tonight, and now it turns out that I don't actually need the information I asked for, because I managed to wing it. However, some confirmation that this is even feasible would be nice--also, knowing the color of the stuff they might be using would add verisimiltude.

Speaking of the "having a mouth on him" thing, the handsome and talented kurukami and I had this interesting exchange:

agilebrit: And then he, of course, is less than cooperative when they want some of his blood (untainted by knockout drugs)...
kurukami: Ahhhh. And now I learn more background.
agilebrit: So they hit him with yet another dart, and he wakes up fastened to a steel table by about twelve points, no leverage, and freaks the hell out. Especially when she comes at him with a needle.
kurukami:
"We want some of your untainted blood."
"Fuck you."
"No, listen, maybe you're not understa--"
"Fuck. You. Which part was unclear?" *evil grin*
agilebrit: Great minds...
kurukami: Heck yeah.
agilebrit: She gave him an exasperated stare. "Do it voluntarily, or we'll make you, and you'll like that even less."

"You know what? Fuck off. Why should I make it easy on you? Be a good little lab rat and you'll let me go eventually? Somehow I don't believe that."

She shook her head. "You'd be making it easy on yourself. We're getting a clean sample either way, and we don't care how."

The back of his neck went cold, but he bulled on regardless. "Oh, well, when you put it like that...Wait, no, what I meant was, 'fuck off,' again."

Understand that the part about the exasperated stare was written...oh, months ago. Hee. Also, yes, not!Harry drops f-bombs. Of course he does. Look who he's based on.

Yeah. One more day, I think, and it's going to you guys...
