One of the real lessons about 2016 for me, just in terms of 'human maintainence' is that if you already know you're going to feel really bad on a particular day, you may as well use that day to do all the useful stuff that would otherwise turn a day you feel good into a day you feel bad. Yesterday I walked around town all day doing various boring errands. I got the new COVID vaccination. I had that unpleasant phone call I knew I needed to have with my health insurance provider. And at the end of all that, I did feel terrible still, but in the way that a hard workout makes me feel terrible. Terrible but useful. It's not wallowing in misery if it's productive misery.

stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.

This child who came to my house tonight is literally the funniest human being on the planet. She complimented me on having both lollipops and mini Three Musketeers available because "a lot of houses these days don't give you a fruit flavor option." She was very solemn about this.

i feel like fandom would really benefit from adopting the idea of readings, as in interpretations. anyone can interpret canon as saying anything on even the most tenuous of justifications. if you interpret a detail or moment in a particular way, great! but if someone interprets that thing in another way, even in a way which directly contradicts your interpretation, that’s also okay. multiple readings can exist at once without invalidating any of them

a lot of fandom drama seems to arise from people acting as if their interpretations are True or Factual in some way, when really all anyone can do is speak to their own interpretations & experiences. which is natural! and good! many voices with many interpretations and approaches is healthy and good. the trouble is depicting a reading, which is a very personal thing, as universally true, and then getting frustrated that others don’t interpret events the same way. & i get it, that can be annoying, especially if you think those other interpretations are misunderstanding the canon. but so much of the time it’s just a different reading, taking into account details you might not have noticed or maybe just viewing them in a different light, informed by different life experiences & values & everything else that goes into a personal interpretation of a creative work

by trying to depict One Single Reading of a text as Correct, fandom loses all the nuance of interpretation & also just turns everyone into a bunch of rabid raccoons fighting over different ways to look through the same kaleidoscope

So... I found this and now it keeps coming to mind. You hear about "life-changing writing advice" all the time and usually its really not—but honestly this is it man.

I'm going to try it.

also here's an incredibly early stages WIP snippet why not

Ruby’s gaze keeps slipping on the unfamiliar. The slope of her nose, the slant of her jaw. Something as simple as how she does her hair. The white shroud she wears has stained gray over the years, tattered ends trailing the ground and reaching out from her feet like vines. This could be death come to claim her soul and Ruby would be none the wiser.

It’s not, she knows. Ruby keeps her feet planted on ruined asphalt and clutches Crescent Rose as if its gunmetal weight is the only thing here that’s real. Seconds drag by like nails on a chalkboard.

The first time she’s been alone with her mother in 15 years and she can’t think of anything to say?
