Pour one out for a real one.

Today is a bit of a special day : exacly one year ago, I started writing the prologue of Hopes and Expectations, which is my biggest writing project so far, and one I'm both incredibly proud of and that I have a lot of fun working on. I have had so much kind comments and support for this fic, and i'm so excited to show you all what happens next ! Believe me we're only at the very beginning of the story.

The problem is, I'm still burried under school work and the thirteenth chapter is fighting me, so I don't have anything new to post today... (I promise it will come eventually).

But I still wanted to do a little something to celebrate the one year mark, so I thought I'd share my mood playlist for this fic with you all !

In it you will find of course the song that gave this fic its name, but also songs that inspired me for plot events, relationship dynamics, overall mood, some just have vibes that fit a place or a character, some have just one line that fits so well the whole song is now linked to the fic for me. And in there you'll also find the one song that started it all.

It will probably grow with the fic and as I discover new songs, but so far there are 38 songs in it, enjoy ^^

(and a little link to the fic just in case)

I come back to you with a fanart of Jedi master Dream from @samsalami66 's Star Wars Dreamling AU (it's amazing, go read it immediately if you haven't)

He's hald rodian, he's a mess, I love him.

And here's a link to my darling's fic ^^

Reblog if you would be comfortable living in a dormitory with an openly transgender or intersex individual. We’re working on a campaign for gender neutral housing and we could use your support.

I submit to you that the most iconic feature of any animal is either unlikely or impossible to fossilize.

If all we had of wolves were their bones we would never guess that they howl.

If all we had of elephants were fossils with no living related species, we might infer some kind of proboscis but we’d never come up with those ears.

If all we had of chickens were bones, we wouldn’t know about their combs and wattles, or that roosters crow.

We wouldn’t know that lions have manes, or that zebras have stripes, or that peacocks have trains, that howler monkeys yell, that cats purr, that deer shed the velvet from their antlers, that caterpillars become butterflies, that spiders make webs, that chickadees say their name, that Canada geese are assholes, that orangutans are ginger, that dolphins echolocate, or that squid even existed.

My point here is that we don’t know anything about dinosaurs. If we saw one we would not recognize it. As my evidence I submit the above, along with the fact that it took us two centuries to realize they’d been all around us the whole time.

Thank you everyone who has been sharing and donating the last two months. I'm still in dire financial straits right now, and so is my sister (who is also my roommate). She's been staying with me for the last year, recovering from two broken ankles. She's been back at work for a couple months now, but barely part time. When she moved in with me, she was expecting to be able to get back to full-time work much sooner, and so she'd be able to contribute to rent and utilities. Unfortunately, her recovery is taking longer than her doctor initially thought, and she may end up needing yet another surgery (which means more missed work). She's barely making ends meet and therefore can't contribute to rent and utilities, which has put me in serious trouble. I already struggle to live in CA on a public school teacher's salary, even without adding on another person. As soon as I get paid, my entire paycheck goes to rent, car, and credit card payments. I don't qualify for any kind of emergency loan. As soon as I pay my credit card bills, I end up having to use that credit on food and gas. There is no end in sight. Which brings me to the part I really hate: asking for help. If you can spare ANYTHING, it would help SO MUCH to get us out of this hole we're in (and hopefully a little breathing room). Even if you can't, if you could reblog the link, or my Kofi, I'd appreciate it SO MUCH. I can offer services as a proofreader/beta reader for any kind of writing as a thank you, or I will happily take commissions for small embroidery or cross-stitch pieces.

Music Poll

Rules: Shuffle your Spotify On Repeat playlist, and put the first 10 songs in a poll. Have your followers choose which song is their favorite.

I’ve been tagged by @samsalami66 thank you darling ^^

Sadly I don’t have Spotify and there’s no equivalent to the « on repeat » playlist on the free Deezer app, so I’ll just make an estimation of my 10 most listened to songs of the moment ><‘ (most of which will be from my mood playlist for Hopes and Expectations btw)

And ngl I don’t have the energy to look up who has already been tagged and who hasn’t, so I’m gonna take the easy path and say: you want to play and haven’t been tagged ? Well I’m tagging you !

Regardless of your gender or sexuality, reblog this and tag your most hetero male trait. Mine is either obsessing over my Altima or sitting around watching TV shows about air disasters.

Good stuff.

It Started With a Whisper Dream of the Endless/Hob Gadling || 6k || T || 1/6

Alternate Universe - College/University, Alternate Universe - Urban Fantasy, Getting Together, Mother Night's A+ Parenting, Father Time's A+ Parenting, Entirely Too Much Chemistry, Both of the Interpersonal and Scientific Sort

Hob, a werewolf from a grotty little estate on the wrong side of London, still can't quite believe he's starting his first term at St. Ignatius University. His goals don't extend very far beyond playing some quality football on the scrim league, and becoming the world's first (and best) lycan astrophycisist. Then... he meets Dream.

Hob is lamenting his life choice of science as he stumbles into the lecture hall at eight in the morning, shoving the last of his toast into his mouth in an attempt to mitigate the damage to his stomach lining from his nuclear waste espresso. He can’t believe he’s going to have to do this five days a week for an entire term. It’s unjust. It’s sadistic. How is anyone’s brain functioning at this hour. Charmed coffee should be subsidized.

The Hall of Sciences permeates an unholy combination of ammonia, sulfur, formaldehyde and Zoflora Linen Fresh, which Hob knows he will eventually adjust to, but right now it’s putting his teeth on edge. This is not helped by the crush of noise around him as students file into the lecture theater, all of them too loud and too close and if one more person steps on the back of his shoe Hob is going to actually snarl. 

But then—

It all stops. 

Everything goes quiet. 

Because the most gorgeous boy to ever exist is sitting at the very top of the lecture theater. 

He’s a fey, gothic creature—and Hob grew up with a few goth kids on the estate, okay, he’s used to smudgy eyeliner and artistically placed safety pins—but if those muppets had been dressed for school picture day, then this boy has been professionally styled for the runway. A high-collared black jumper, a subtle rim of eyeliner, an artfully styled mess of black hair, and just a hint of impassive disdain on his delicate features. 

He’s got an older-looking guy to his right, and an empty seat on the left. 

An empty seat with Hob’s name on it.
