Quotes From Gethesemane: Part 1
ZeldaQueen: Howdy-do, ladies and gents! Neil, as it turns out, is not the only Suethor to deliver extremely wanky quotes. I've been strolling around and have found a number of...charming quotes from our harlequin Suethor herself, Gethesemane Butler! This is actually going to be a two-parter, partly because her quotes get rather long and partly because there's one that must be sporked, but it really spoilers Ghosts of the Abyss, and it's a particular spoiler that I want you all to see in context, in it's horrific and disgusting glory. So it's going to be saved for part two, after the fic is done!
Also, a happy birthday to mdetector5!

Johnny's so freakin' underpaid.
ZeldaQueen: Oh man, I know right? I mean, with the little he's being paid it's a wonder he could afford that cool two million bucks he donated to the hospital that treated his daughter's E. coli infection. Or that private island of his in the Bahamas. Or his place in Los Angles. Or that villa in the south of France. Or his home in the suburbs of Paris. Or his Parisian restaurant-bar. Poor guy's clearly struggling to get by
He's only getting $55.8 mil to play Jack. ONLY $55.8 mil! WTF? Come ON, Gore! He's worth SO much more than that!
ZeldaQueen: (Gethesemane) "He should be paid in angel tears! After all, he is Johnny Depp!"
Incidentally, any time I've ever heard anyone say something like "He's underpaid! He's only getting fifty million dollars!" there's a lot of clear sarcasm attached to it
Johnny should be getting Orlando and Keira's money too, because they're a) not real pirates (IE: they're poseurs)
ZeldaQueen: ...Fantastic, now she's channeling Tara Gilespie. What does she mean they're "not real pirates"? No freaking duh! They're actors! Johnny Depp's not a "real pirate" either! Those are what real pirates are like!
B) Orlando really fucked up the FD by turing into the Flying Pansy
ZeldaQueen: And how, pray tell, did he manage that?
And dear viewers, I have read ahead and know how Ms Butler here thought fixing the Flying Dutchman should have gone. I won't spoil it here, but rest assured that it's cheesy as Hell. Will Turning was freaking badass, especially compared to that
and C) they can't act worth a crap.
ZeldaQueen: You know, I've heard a lot of people who think that. Coming from Gethesemane here though? All I can hear is "Blah, blah, blah, they dare to move the spotlight away from MY PRECIOUS JOHNNY DEPP! Blah, blah, blah!" This kind of adds a whole other level of weirdness to her obsession with her lust characters. Not only does she bash the characters in canon that she doesn't like, but she bashes the actors who play them as well.
And if you think I'm kidding, this isn't the only time she's done that. I'm not quoting it here, but she also went on about how she thought Emmy Rossum was such a terrible actress. This being after she planned a Phantom of the Opera fic which involved Christine dying and the Phantom hooking up with her Mary Sue self insert
Poor Johnny deserves a lot more than he's getting. Yeah, he's still getting SOMETHING, but he's not getting enough, I think.
ZeldaQueen: If your fics are any indication, what you think "enough" is involves endless sex and the dissolving of your maiden barrier
So, now you know how much Johnny's getting paid to be Jack for POTC 4. ^_^
ZeldaQueen: I DON'T CARE! I don't care if he's being paid his weight in gold bars! How about how good the movie is? Does that play in anywhere?
-------------------------------
Why the HELL are you people still flaming me? Seriously.
ZeldaQueen: Because you go on about how you're such a terrible author and wave a "PITY ME" sign, only to get all bitch-faced when people call you out on it?
Get a fucking CLUE.
ZeldaQueen: Mr. Green in the Kitchen with the Rope
I can write what I want to write, and I WILL write what I want to write.
ZeldaQueen: As evidenced by the fact that you write the same things nine million times, just in different settings and with different names
The keyword here is "I." Not "You." No one cares what you have to say;
ZeldaQueen: And yet you're the one having the Epic Flounce
no one cares what I have to write,
ZeldaQueen: And yet you're bitching because people have taken time to criticize your work, showing that people do care
which is the way I want it. And you know what? I must be doing something right if I'm getting as many flames as I am positive reviews.
ZeldaQueen: Not really, no. Even Earl Harry James Potter had almost entirely positive reviews, and that one had a chapter that was more or less a glossary
If you don't like it, keep your bigass mouth shut. Because, frankly, I'm starting to get annoyed again.
ZeldaQueen: Beware the annoyance of Gethesemane!
AND WHO IN THE HELL TOLD YOU TO READ MY WRITING? Oh, that's right. I remember now! NOBODY. NOBODY TOLD YOU TO READ MY WRITING, AND NO ONE TWISTED YOUR ARM TO FLAME.
ZeldaQueen: Actually, you kind of did, my dear. You and your author's notes of "I'm such a crappy writer, tee hee!"
And Gethesemane, you're starting to emulate Link's Queen now. That's not a good thing
Oh, are you going to flame me for getting annoyed at the flamers and ranting about it? Are you going to flame me because I don't post in MY journal what YOU want posted? Are you going to flame me because I'm telling the truth?
ZeldaQueen: Well, I'm sure people will get pissy because you take any sort of criticism, even constructive, and bitch at them about it
Go ahead. I fucking DARE you.
ZeldaQueen: Well, I suppose that's what I'm doing now. But you can't say a damned thing about it, because what are you going to do? Flame me for not posting what YOU like on MY journal? Nyah!
And correct me if I'm wrong, but last time I checked I was the one writing the stories. Not you.
ZeldaQueen: Thank God, because if I wrote stories of the quality of yours, I'd think I suffered some sort of brain damage
Got a problem with it?
ZeldaQueen: No, but you evidently do
Then get off your fat lazy ass and go write a story of your own the way YOU want it written and get the hell off my back!
ZeldaQueen: Yeah! Her back is reserved for Johnny Depp!
I'm so sorry
And for those of you who don't think that my characters don't have personalities, I'd look in the mirror.
ZeldaQueen: Uh huh, yes, I see myself. No surprises there. What was that supposed to accomplish, again?
And as for my plotlines? There ARE actual plotlines in the stories.
ZeldaQueen: Yes. Stupid, twisted plotlines that plunder from their canon sources like Keiran plundered Harry Potter
Too bad you can't come up with one for yourself.
ZeldaQueen: Question! How do you know this, Gethesemane? Hmm? What if Stephen King or JK Rowling were one of the people "flaming" you? Be egg on your face, wouldn't it?
-------------------------------
May I just ask the Academy one question?
ZeldaQueen: No, no you may not
"ARE YOU ON CRACK?"
ZeldaQueen: No, but I suspect it would help
That's right, loves. JOHNNY DEPP...LOST...THE OSCAR...TO DANIEL DAY-LEWIS...
THAT BASTARD DESERVES TO DIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
ZeldaQueen: (Gethesemane) "BECAUSE HE DID SOMETHING THAT I DO NOT APPROVE OF, HE MUST PERISH!!!"
He won for "There Will Be Blood." Why did he win for "There Will Be Blood?" BECAUSE HE SAID SOME RETARDED LINE ABOUT A MILKSHAKE THAT IS NO LONGER FUNNY DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE SAID IT AND IT IS BEING PLAYED ON YOUTUBE.
ZeldaQueen: *coughs* First of all, I've never actually seen There Will Be Blood, so I can't totally rant about it.
I would like to point out though, that the entirety of the Pirates of the Caribbean series is on YouTube. I suppose that means that it's no longer good anymore, hmm?
Because, frankly, once something like that hits YouTube, it's not funny anymore...especially if I use it in one of my captions...
ZeldaQueen: *irritably* And we all know that you're the final authority on that
Well, it could've been worse. George Clooney could've won...as if my eyes weren't squirting out enough blood as it is...
ZeldaQueen: ...Blu what?
Because if George Clooney would have won (I am the only woman on earth, I think, who thinks he's ugly; I've seen better-looking elephant behinds), what dignity is left of the entertainment industry would've been shot to hell
ZeldaQueen: For those of you who don't know, ladies and gents, the movie George Clooney was nominated for was Michael Clayton. He was nominated for best actor. And all Gethesemane is going on about is how ugly he is. Wow
(no, it wasn't completely shot to hell when Leo DiCaprio won for playing an arse-ugly playboy in The Aviator...it was only slightly shot to hell)
ZeldaQueen: ...Okay, now I'm pissed.
Gethesemane? You wanna sit down while I spell out a few things for you?
Howard Hughes was an amazing guy. He was brilliant, and he was totally screwed up. Throughout the movie, we see how he struggles to achieve his dreams while dealing with his paranoia. We see the airplanes he builds, his visions, and his goals. And we see that even in his victory at the end, he still can't completely win because his paranoia won't give him peace.
What are you pissy about? You thought he wasn't good-looking and that he was a playboy.
Perhaps you didn't notice, but the women he was with in the movie? They all gave insight into his personality. Katherine Hepburn helped him deal with his obsessive compulsive disorder, but he wound up even worse when she left him. Faith Demurge showed again his OCD. Ava Gardner stood up to his advances, refusing to marry him on the grounds that she didn't love him (and yeah, was already married), but still showed up towards the end to clean him up and get him into a fit mental state to win the court case against him.
You're an idiot. You're an idiot who can't read past the superficial. All you care about is how good-looking the actors are, symbolism or depth be damned. Shut up, you have no right to critique movies
Now if you'll excuse me, the Academy's President is wanting to be polished off...
AND BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY THERE WILL INDEED BE BLOOD - AND IT WILL BE DANIEL'S!
...Sick, twisted bastard, stealing an award from an actor who actually deserves it and has TALENT.
ZeldaQueen: JESUS CHRIST, SHUT UP!
Good God! Someone get this woman some help! It's one thing to have favorite actors or actresses, it's quite another to take things like this so seriously!
Tell me, Daniel, who did you have to pay or sleep with to get that award? Or did you hire someone to put a gun to their heads?
ZeldaQueen: You know, twenty bucks says that she'd be perfectly fine with Day-Lewis if he didn't beat Johnny Depp's nomination for Sweeney Todd
I liked Daniel better when he was in The Crucible...mainly because he played a sick, twisted, scummy pedophile and thus was hanged for it. At which part I laughed, and I will watch it again, and I will laugh HARDER.
ZeldaQueen: Pause again.
Gethesemane. When you saw The Crucible, did it ever get through your thick head that Day-Lewis's character was one of few who actually stood up against what was an unfair and biased witch hunt?
Or that his life and family were ruined because of one clingy, jealous bitch of a girl, and he was perfectly fine with letting his reputation be destroyed and admitting to sleeping with her if it would stop the bloodshed?
Or that Abigale was at an age when girls were considered eligible for marriage, thus nullifying your attempts to paint him as a "scummy pedophile"?
Or the fact that he spent the entire movie trying to atone for sleeping with her once while she spent the entire movie ruining the lives of various people just to get him to take her back, only for him to brilliantly snub her at the end?
No, I suppose it didn't. Good lord, are you stupid!
-------------------------------
I've had people note me and tell me that Redeemer and Seven Days make no sense, on account of the chapters skip around, and have even told me that I'm a bad writer.
ZeldaQueen: No comment
Apparently, people don't pay attention to the title that is in HUGE BOLD TYPE FACE.
ZeldaQueen: I saw it. How does SEVEN DAYS clarify Jareth forgetting about Balthazar two seconds after he tries to invade the kingdom?
Those chapters that "don't go with the rest of the story" are NOT chapters at all. They are concept renderings.
ZeldaQueen: Bluh, wut?
Concept renderings are simply a way for me to explore ideas and flesh out characters.
ZeldaQueen: *glances at Gethesemane's cardboard cut-out characters*
*glances back at that sentence*
*laughs until she wets herself*
I post them on dA because some people actually like to read them.
ZeldaQueen: To quote Stephen Colbert, that just goes to show that we haven't gotten the lead out of the paint in everyone's houses yet
They DO NOT go with the stories necessarily. They're "what-if" scenarios.
ZeldaQueen: Like "what if the characters were canon?"
And yes, some of them are going to be MC. It's not my fault if you're too young to read them, so don't cry to me about it. Wait until you're 18 and then come back and cry to me...no. I take that back. Don't come at all.
ZeldaQueen: Gethesemane's characters already come enough for everyone, especially around Johnny Depp.
I'm really, really sorry
I'm in half a mind to simply put all the concepts in my scrapbook to clear the confusion, although I clearly say which ones are concepts and which ones are actual chapters.
ZeldaQueen: You just think about that in your half of a mind then
So stop noting me and telling me that my stories make no sense and that I'm a bad writer and whatever the hell else you can come up with. PAY ATTENTION TO THE DAMN TITLES, PEOPLE.
ZeldaQueen: *raises hand* I think your stories make no sense and you're a bad writer and I haven't come across these things at all. Should I stick with the sporking, then?
-------------------------------
I know a few of you have been wondering about my Narnia story.
ZeldaQueen: Dreading it's more like it
Right now it's been pushed to the back burner until I can get some more stories done, or at least three-quarters of the way done.
ZeldaQueen: Thank God, she never actually got back to it. I might have killed something if she got around to defiling The Chronicles of Narnia
I've gone through several treatments of my storyline and don't like any of them, so I've decided to start from scratch. I never do details, just a general overview of what a story will be about. I can't work with strict boundaries. I have to be free to roam around, if you know what I mean.
ZeldaQueen: Read - you can't be bothered to actually plan things out, so we get endless chapters of filler until your stories pitter off and die
So, I've added that to my New Year's Resolution list (do people actually make New Year's Resolution three weeks before Christmas? O_o)
ZeldaQueen: (Gethesemane) "Tee hee, aren't I soooo quirky?"
And yes, for those of you who have asked, it will be Caspian/OC, and, to make it fit with Voyage of the Dawn Treader, it will be a tragedy.
ZeldaQueen: Hun, all of your fics are tragedies
A la Romeo and Juliet? Probably not; Lord only knows that's only been done once or twice before. Think more along the lines of a one-sided Antony and Cleopatra in terms of character death.
ZeldaQueen: Given how Ghosts of the Abyss, Haunted, and Seven Days have gone, I know you can't stand the thought of actually killing off your Sue or your lust object. So if you had written the fic, my money would either have been on one of them dying and miraculously being brought back to life, or Susan being offed to make room for the Sue. Either way would have been deeply infuriating
Wow, I just realized that my stories are getting darker with each new one I write. O_O
ZeldaQueen: You said that about Ghosts of the Abyss as well. The stuff that's really dark isn't what you meant it to be
And also, a very quick note about TDTD and my POTC story Rogue (the second in the series but the first one I'm writing). I have started on the next chapter for TDTD and the first chapter of Rogue, but it'll be a little while before I can post them. I'm having issues with mid-sentence writer's plateau.
ZeldaQueen: Gethesemane Butler - her writer's block is so elaborate, it gets its own geographical map
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ZeldaQueen: And before we go for the evening, let's have a moment of silence for the passing of Elizabeth Sladen, the brilliant actress who brought us the amazing Sarah Jane Smith. Rest in peace dear lady, rest in peace
