Poisoning Pigeons in The Park
10 min read
My goodness, it's been an awfully long time since I've dipped my rather un-buoyant toes into the large, imposing sea of artwork that is DeviantArt, hasn't it?
Why, so much must have changed during my absence!
The interface must be so much more pristine, now: No doubt a simplified, but none the less rather sleek version of it's former self!
Hrm, what's that? It's still a green toolbar? Well... don't fix what's not broken, I suppose!
Perhaps, then, they've finally changed the messaging system! So that I, and other users who don't frequent the website quite so much anymore, can see our latest messages on the first page of our inbox, without scrolling to the twelfth!
What? That hasn't changed either? O-Oh, haha... ha! Of course not! I... I needed the exercise, anyway! Jolly good, DeviantArt!
Go on, then, I bet at the very least, writers have become a seriously appreciated part of the DeviantArt culture! No doubt there's been a massive leap in society, and now it's not only visual artists who're consciously contributing to the Deviant zeitge-
They aren't? Are... are we sure?
Well bollocks to it all! Let's just... let's just get to the bloody point.
Hello again, beloved (and only slightly abandoned) watchers!
That's right, I was out on the town again and I only went and got myself tagged.
Typical, I know- but what's a man to do? The clinic doesn't open for a couple of hours yet, so I suppose I best just get it out of my system now, eh?
Let's go!
And thank you for nothing,
You must post these rules.
2. Each person must post 10 things about themselves on their journal.
3. Answer the questions the tagger set for you, and create ten (10) new questions for the people you tag to answer.
4. You have to choose 10 people to tag and post their icons on your journal.
5. Go to their pages and tell them you have tagged her/him.
6. No tag backs.
7. No nonsense in the tagging section about "you are tagged if you're reading this."
8. You have to tag 10 people.
Boy, redundant rules are sort of repetitive, huh?
Well, let's get this show on the road.
Ten things about me
Ten set questions
Bring it muchacho, I'm ready!
Recently I've been singing 'Going to Georgia' by The Mountain Goats, I'm enamoured with it.
On a slightly wider scale, I've also been singing Jonathan Coulton's "Goodmorning Tucson" to myself a lot over the last couple of months, it's been in my head for goodness knows how long.
In the long run, though, a song that always returns to my affections is John Denver's "Country Roads", I heard it in a different format (a film) when I was very young, and since then the rhythm and both sets of lyrics have stayed rather prominently in my heart.
Listen up you maggots, I don't like you and you don't like me!
A-Actually I quite like you lot, can we be friends?
... roll call!
And, although I'm almost certain you won't read this,
Go forth, and answer pointless questions, friends!

Ten things about me
- 1) I'm currently learning Russian, and I'm not entirely sure why. I suppose it never hurts to know an extra language! And since I've started, I've met a lot of very lovely Russian people, so it's become beneficial as time's gone on.
- 2) I pick a banjo now.
- 3) Although I'm almost certain that anybody personally associated with me is already well aware of this, I'm an avid roleplayer. I write roleplays, I read roleplays, and I'm currently DMing a new DnD campaign- this is my first time DMing, and I'm doing so with a group of players who couldn't possibly be newer to the game.
It's actually quite fun! - 4) I'm a massive fan of a game called "Steambot Chronicles" (otherwise known as 'BumpyTrot' elsewhere), which was an Atlus produced game for the PS2. Originally, it was meant to have a sequel on the PS3 ("Steambot Chronicles 2" and "BumpyTrot 2" respectively), but the sequel was cancelled after the tsunamis in Japan, when a lot of the data was destroyed.
The cancellation was announced years ago, but whenever I look at my PS2/PS3, I remember that I probably won't ever play that sequel, and it makes me rather sad. - 5) I've been meditating for between six and seven years now, and I'm still not sure I'm doing it right. Eheh.
- 6) It seems like people can't actually place where my accent comes from. I'm not the sort who says, "Oh, well I don't really have an accent", because everyone does, but for the life of us, nobody I know can really describe mine. It's certainly not Lancastrian- which, having grown up in Lancashire, one might expect- nor is it any breed of Scottish.
It's a good conversation starter, though.
"Where's your accent from?"
"That's a very good question. Go on, take a guess."
- 7) Quite recently I've started using Jonathan Coulton's "Artificial Heart" album as the sort of faux-soundtrack to my life. For the most part, it's been rather fitting- "Good morning Tucson" perfectly encapsulates my sentiments when I first wake, "Not coming down today" and "Glasses" are very fitting for when I get my 'second wind', part way through the day, so on and etc.
The only weird thing is, the album also contains a lot of very somber, meaningful songs, and...
I can never recall them play between the more uplifting ones. Odd.
I'm a psychology student, maybe I should look into that... - 8) Alright, this one's a little embarrassing. I still haven't memorised all the lyrics to "God Save the Queen", despite being a rather proud Brit. On a similar note, however, I know all of 'O Flower of Scotland', and at least three versions of "Scotland the Brave", both very popular Scottish anthems.
Runs in the blood I guess! Heh.
- 9) One of my favourite songs is John Denver's "Take me home, Country Roads", but I didn't actually know he'd written it until I was in my very late pre-teens. I'd first heard it in a Studio Ghibli film called "Whispers of the Heart", in which it was sung with entirely different, but equally endearing lyrics.
I've come to appreciate the John Denver version a lot more, as I associate it more with my adult life, but my love for the song continues to embolden my love for Whispers of the Heart, too. - 10) I once had these two friends, called Prince and Laura. I got on well with Prince from the start, but the same cannot be said of Laura (she went by Laura Shadow), with whom I had the most turbulent relationship. We were friends, that much was clear- but there was a certain animosity between the two of us I still struggle fully to explain.
I think it's because when I first met her, I was... an idiot, I suppose. And as time went on, I became more intelligent- because both she and Prince put effort into making me such- but that first impression of idiocy never quite dissipated for her, I don't think.
Anyway. I thought rather highly of her, not that she'd ever have known from our venomous exchanges- I like to think some small part of her quite liked me too, but that's an admittedly unlikely tale.
She disappeared a few years ago; By no means is she truly gone, but she's seen it fit to cut communication, and block myself and Prince on whatever fronts she could. I'm forced to conclude that her subconscious hatred for me eventually overcame our conscious friendship, and she saw it fit to abandon us.
That's alright, I'm not bitter anymore: I'm just mentioning her on the off chance that, whilst she's gallivanting around the internet, she might see this.
I just wanted to say thanks for putting the effort in, I suppose. I appreciated the gesture, and it's helped develop me into what I am today (a frightfully grumpy old man, in a frightfully grumpy young man's body), yourself and Prince () of course! Who's seen it fit to stick with me all these years, and become my best friend.
So, thanks. - TL;DR: Although my writing style and any accentual inflections on such are most decidedly my own, I was actually an incoherent mess before I found two people willing to put up with me for long enough. I've got some groovy, groovy friends.
Ten set questions
Bring it muchacho, I'm ready!
1. Finish the lyrics: Will you still need me, will you still feed me ____??
When I'm, sixty-four!2. Pray tell, my sweetest, what is your favourite song?
Now there's a tricky one. I don't really have a 'favourite' song, nor a favourite genre: I do have a few that I enjoy very much though, so I can jot them down under certain categories.Recently I've been singing 'Going to Georgia' by The Mountain Goats, I'm enamoured with it.
On a slightly wider scale, I've also been singing Jonathan Coulton's "Goodmorning Tucson" to myself a lot over the last couple of months, it's been in my head for goodness knows how long.
In the long run, though, a song that always returns to my affections is John Denver's "Country Roads", I heard it in a different format (a film) when I was very young, and since then the rhythm and both sets of lyrics have stayed rather prominently in my heart.
3. Cake, OR DEATH?!
Hrm... what flavour is the cake?4. Is green a creative colour?
Green is not a creative colour.5.What's the scariest movie, or story you've ever seen/heard?
"I have no mouth and I must scream" is a short story that I read when I was still quite young, for reasons I cannot entirely recall. It terrified me way into my teens, but I'd heavily encourage people to read it all the same.6.What's your gender?
Male. Can't you tell by my long, flowing curls?7.Can I please, please, PLEASE love you?
Hrmm... well, I suppose. But no biting.8.What's the meaning of life?
To look for the meaning of life, of course.9.Oh! By the way, nice shoe-laces!
Hey, thanks! I figured, "Why not spoil myself?"10.Do you like me?~
S-Shut up, baka...
(Questions provided by )
Ten questions of my own
Haha! It's like twenty questions.
I-If... if half of them were missing, I mean.
... shut up.
- 1) How do you take your tea? (If you're a coffee drinker, use the time everyone else is using to answer the question to go make yourself a cup of tea, you savage.)
- 2) Did you know Rita?
- 3) Do you know any other languages? If so, how well?
- 4) Who's your favourite writer? And why?
- 5) Do you remember the gamecube? How awesome was that thing?
- 6) Terrans! What is your profession?!
- 7) What would you say is your most appealing feature? Why?
- 8) Name one cherished object in your life: Now explain why it's precious to you.
- 9) Why did Churchill call them 'The Few'?
- 10) What's the first song you can remember?
Listen up you maggots, I don't like you and you don't like me!
A-Actually I quite like you lot, can we be friends?
... roll call!
And, although I'm almost certain you won't read this,
Go forth, and answer pointless questions, friends!

Hello, distinguished ladies and gentlemen of DeviantArt! It's me, your seemingly ever absent friend Celestion, with one of his infamous, occasional updates!
Well, perhaps it's less of an update and more of a ramble. You see, some of you may have noticed that I've been gone for a while. Well, gone is a strong word... I haven't produced anything, or spoken with anyone, for a while.
The reason for this isn't precisely a tale of woe, I'll give you that. Whiltst I'd love to paint you all a long, beautiful story about how I lost faith in myself and went on a journey to rekindle my love of writing, the truth is purely that I've been lacking motivation as of late.
Anything I write is, to put it nicely, sub-par, and whenever I do get an ounce of inspiration, it generally disappears shortly after.
Now I'm sure there are some of you sat there saying, "But Celestion, you handsome devil you! I only need an ounce of inspiration to begin writing!", and that's true, there are some writers out there who get an idea and run with it (Although, this isn't necessarily a good thing. But, being a premature writer is perfectly natural, see your local doctor about it), and I'm sure that serves you very well in whatever you do, but the way I write is... well, I wouldn't say it's different, as many people utilize a similar technique, but I haven't encountered many internet goers who do the same thing I do.
Allow me to elaborate, for those lucky people at home who've actually acknowledged my journal update.
You see, whilst many writers will spontaneously strike up a story when they get inspiration (I'll be returning to this later, remember this point), I use a technique I've just this very moment decided to dub "contemplative pre-writing", in which I will spend a week (or more) before putting pen to paper in order to establish what I feel to be the best first paragraph possible for this story.
I'm sure any aspiring writers out there will agree with me, your first paragraph is infinitely important, because it often sets the mood for your story, and makes or breaks your readers interest in what it is you're writing.
I write this paragraph in my head, and consistently edit it over the space of 7-14 days in order to ensure it's something I'm happy to continue from.
However, the problem with my method is that, often, stories that I originally had a drive for will become dulled in my interest, and I will no longer want to pursue them.
This is the case for things such as my "The Virtual Abyss" series.
At first, I tried to produce a couple of chapters a week, however, they received so little acknowledgement that I resigned myself to practicing my contemplative pre-writing technique in order to better them. By doing this, I realized I hadn't given TVA the best beginning, and that meant my enthusiasm for it died.
Lately, that's been what's happening with a lot of my work.
Let me give you a quick run through of my mental processes lately.
Day One
"Hey Cell, I've just had a great idea for a story! Let's cook it for a little bit and see how it turns out!"
---
Day Four
"I think we have a rough estimate of how we want this to play out! Now to get to work on the first paragraph!"
---
Day Five
"Man, this is a lot of work... we're not getting very far, either... I'm sure we'll have a stroke of inspiration soon, though!"
---
Day Six
"Cell, we should really consider putting this in the 'work on it later' folder. The more we think about it, the harder it seems to get..."
---
Day Seven
"Aw bugger it, let's just drink something heavy and pretend we did something this week."
I'm sure many of you see my predicament now.
And of course, I promised three stories in a journal I wrote a while ago, which I promise, you'll get soon! However, in my attempt to write a Tyrann Greene story, I ended up looking back at "A Touch of Bane", a story about Matt Baneful, instead, and found myself developing new plot ideas for that.
So the chances are, you're going to be seeing a Baneful story soon instead. But instead of following Matt and his adventures through time, we'll be following his grandfather, and his adventures during the 22nd Century, where the New Americanan Empire attempts to invade British-occupied Mars. More on that later.
And now, a call back...
Earlier, I told you to remember that some people write the moment they get inspiration. I feel I should note, as this is a song I've sung many times, that doesn't make you a better writer than those of us who use my technique, by any means.
At the end of the day, great novels take years to write sometimes, great stories can take weeks. Great disasters, however, can take mere hours.
And with that, I leave you all!
I plan to update before this, but in the event I don't, then Happy Thanksgiving, all of my friends and watchers over there in the USA! Hope you have a fantastic time!
And with that, we're gone!
Goodbye, all! Have a good day!

(EDIT: This is the link for October 20th's Podcast! Make sure to tune in!
9 O'clock GMT, 4 O'Clock EDT!
new.livestream.com/accounts/16…)
Hello, boils and ghouls, and welcome to another thrilling installment of Tales from the Cell!
Referencing aside, hello watchers! Surprised to see me, what with my "post a journal every blue moon" policy? Well, I apologize for...
Oh who'm I kidding, I don't apologize! I'm British, it's my job to bother you all for the sake of schadenfreude.
Stereotyping also aside, I'm here today for an actual purpose, alright. I'm not just here to witter your ear off about nonsense.
For all of you who missed the TNBC Podcast last night, you can see both halves here: new.livestream.com/accounts/16…
Obviously there are a few technical glitches in the beginning, and occasionally somebody interrupts us, but that's just the sort of problem these things have the first time around. Next time we'll be better prepared, I'm sure!
Otherwise, it went well! And if any of you want to see more, we'll be doing one most Saturdays at 9pm GMT, or 4pm EST, and I'll always update the links in these journals to correspond with it.
On the subject of The TNBC Podcast, I listed what my updates for the future were going to be, but since the majority of you missed them, I'll re-state them here for your own convenience!
(And yes, ladies and gentleman, the Cellman is back, and the doctor is ready to operate!)
One) Somebody once told me a while ago, whilst reading a novella I'd written (Did I mention I was doing to publish? My computer got wiped during its repairs, so I lost the book, sadly), that Tyrann was a fun character to read, but we didn't get as much insight into his psyche as they'd have liked. As a result, I'm going to write a story, not from the perspective of Tyrann, but from the perspective of somebody speaking with him. That way we see past his mental wall, the one he uses to protect himself from the horror of what he has to do, and see what he's like from the other side. It'll still be the sarcastic Tyrann we all know and love, but with a little bit more insight.
Two) Some of my older watchers may remember my "James Slater" stories from when I first arrived here, and for those of you who don't, do not go looking. But in those stories, I had a character who wore a mask and cloak- His name was Phantom- but the stories ceased and I didn't get to progress him. I plan to write a story explaining who and what he is, and how it takes its toll on his day to day life. You can expect this soon.
Three) Whiteburk was a friend of Tyrann's from a very young age, and a fellow Bureau detective. I plan to write a story about this dapper young gentleman (who also appeared in my aforementioned novella, simply named Tyrann Greene, and my story "Tyrann Greene - Gioventu", in which he and Tyrann were teenagers). The story will surround Whiteburk's off-the-record pursuit of Tyrann in order to warn him of what's to come.
With those updates laid down, I bid you all adieu! Arrvederci, adios and see y' later!
Have a wonderful day, Watchers!

Hello there, Watchers! Long time, no... type, I suppose!
As a key few of you may have realized, my posting here has ceased for the most part. I'd like to lay to rest the rumour that I've left Deviant Art: This is simply not the case.
The problem is that my Laptop decided that it wanted its funeral early, and thus started to malfunction to a significant degree beyond "acceptable". As a result, I had to ship it off to HP, who promptly shipped it back to me...
... In a worse condition that before!
Well done, HP. Truly, you are the people I want selling computers!
Anyway, I called them up to complain, and, unbeknownst to me, they apparently have an anti-complaint database that holds every customers greatest weakness. What's my greatest weakness, I hear you ask?
You didn't ask? Bugger you anyway, it's Irish Women.
So instead of screaming at them, I kindly requested that they take my laptop back and repair it. They didn't bugger it up a third time, though, so at least I'm back on the internet, for now. Which brings me to my next point...
The TNBC Podcast!
Now, if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of sixty or seventy browser windows simultaneously closing, but, hear me out.
The podcast isn't about TNBC, but its hosts, myself and my good friend and long time Bro, are moderators on a TNBC fansite/roleplaying website.
It's a long, harrowing tale, about love, betrayal, action and naughty bits, but essentially, we decided we wanted a Podcast to talk about utter nonsense.
Here's the link, ahead of time: new.livestream.com/accounts/16…
Tune in at 9 O'clock GMT, or Americans can tune in at 4 O'clock EST.
So if you've ever wondered what I or Prince sound like, or you're just bored and have a bit of free time, drop on by!

Anyway, I called them up to complain, and, unbeknownst to me, they apparently have an anti-complaint database that holds every customers greatest weakness. What's my greatest weakness, I hear you ask?
You didn't ask? Bugger you anyway, it's Irish Women.
So instead of screaming at them, I kindly requested that they take my laptop back and repair it. They didn't bugger it up a third time, though, so at least I'm back on the internet, for now. Which brings me to my next point...
The TNBC Podcast!
Now, if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of sixty or seventy browser windows simultaneously closing, but, hear me out.
The podcast isn't about TNBC, but its hosts, myself and my good friend and long time Bro
, are moderators on a TNBC fansite/roleplaying website. It's a long, harrowing tale, about love, betrayal, action and naughty bits, but essentially, we decided we wanted a Podcast to talk about utter nonsense.
Here's the link, ahead of time: new.livestream.com/accounts/16…
Tune in at 9 O'clock GMT, or Americans can tune in at 4 O'clock EST.
So if you've ever wondered what I or Prince sound like, or you're just bored and have a bit of free time, drop on by!

Hello boys and girls of DeviantArt! Before we begin pointing fingers I'd like to note that I fully admit to my laziness. It's been so long since I did something productive that my mattress is beginning to resemble my ass, and that's a little bit disconcerting. So here's my proposal, take it or leave it.
... Please take it.
(1) I'll make up for it in one of three ways. I can either Live Audio Stream myself reading a book of my Watchers choice (And if you can't come to an agreement, I'll read Skulduggery Pleasant's "Dark Days").
(2) I'll live stream a Q&A, at a reasonable time in America (Where most of my watchers come from), and happily answer any question that comes my way. If I fail to answer the questions (it still counts if I'm sarcastic though, obviously,) I'll take a dare from my Watchers, providing that it's in good taste.
Or (3), I'll write a series of short stories in the style of H.P. Lovecraft. In reference to (1) and (2), I wont be appearing on camera because I'm both self conscious and fully aware I'm not the Adonis I'd like to be.
So with that aside, here comes your (every couple of) monthly report on updates that I'll probably (but wont definitely) act on!
And this month, Celestion is kind of, sort of, not really promising to produce for you...
1. A story based on my experience of the Internet, and the first place I ever felt comfortable (Mewpchat), as told from the perspective of a Transfer Highschool Student, with the Highschool serving as a relatively personified (in the case of users) environment for the story to take place. I'm hoping not to offend too many people with it, but I can't please everyone. With that said, how does it sound?
2. I'm considering creating a series of Interviews (Recorded over Skype, and uploaded to Youtube/Blip/Whichever is the most convenient form of media) with Deviant Artists, Gamers, Musicians and the like to get a better look into the community we're frequenting here. Any volunteers would be more than welcomed!
3. I'll be writing another 'Tyrann Greene' story soon, a predecessor to all the ones before, where it's *Tyrann* in a Bureau Detective's suit. I'm hoping to get it out soon, but there's no definite time of release, yet.
With that said, I'll be seeing you all around. Until then, have a good... month or so, Watchers! And remember, don't forget to comment about how I'll be paying for my laziness, any of those three options above are fine! G'bye!
