rare moment I’m on tumblr so hi Eddie 😁

hi tas

[stagtorccio]

and in relation to my boxing gloves thing, i was writing this boxing-inherited violence short story earlier cos it rly inspired me and i haven’t wrote in years, and the connotations of red gloves/red in general as it’s a prominent colour in boxing tbf had me on a tangent and a half

WORD!

i love getting inspired to write by the most odd things, to be honest ksfjndksj definitely keep doing it!!! do what you love even if you haven't done it in a while!!

i think that it doesn't matter if your works are private or not (god knows i have so much shit i haven't posted or won't post) but also i'm open to read anything . i am a free for all beta reader because i just like reading LMAO so that's an open invitation

[stagtorccio]

currently remembering that i said something about nat’s gloves being red originally before she got new ones

this was intended as a ‘blood on your hands’ type of thing. like her dad posthumously taunting her that it was her fault, that the violence runs in her blood

but her getting rid of the gloves is nat ridding herself of the association of boxing and her dad/violence. she’s grown into it as her own, she’s sort of ‘reclaimed’ the violence of the sport and turned it into something that she can see the beauty and the art in. it’s no longer about her dad

YES YES YES oooghh color symbolism...

this is SO good though that's also what i was thinking... the image of the blood red gloves and changing them after accepting that it's not continuing the cycle but something entirely her own.. i definitely have more thoughts on this i just can't articulate them LMAO

my, as i imagine, wildly anticipated return has arrived. welcome to more boxer nat hcs

- sleater kinney yes. hole yes. but let me pose this. secretly loves a bit of folk rock. can’t remember if these fit into that description but like violent femmes, cowboy junkies

- i have 2 here cos i can’t decide. either drives a beat up truck or a bike. as in a pedal bike. no in between.

- i prefer the bike tho because of the visual of her hauling a duffel bag across town on a little bike

- is absurdly good at blocking punches but has had an equally absurd amount of head injuries

- this could be generalised, but takes her rings off in a specific order before practice/a fight

i could be back for more

YEAHHHHHHH anon's back everyone cheer

also i'd argue that violent femmes and cowboy junkies are folk rock. both are SUPREME choices. kgjdfkjdsj nat leaving the wrong tape in and accidentally playing sweet jane or some shit, shoutout fear street for bringing that song to popularity

ohhh thinking so much about cowboy junkies sorry... nat would FUCK with floorboard blues

also the bike is so goddamn funny . i too prefer the bike because the visual is hilarious

AND YOU'RE SO RIGHT! the headgear... i think she's def guilty of just tanking hits because of the headgear and then being surprised when she has a killer headache later lmaoooo

also, i love the rings thing / having a specific order. i personally wear rings to have something to do with my hands so, yeah . very cool idea that it's another one of those self soothing things

[stagtorccio]

that’s what i was getting at with the burroughs thing! read the first page, was deeply confused yet intrigued, then realised i have a pile of unread books and decided against it for now

i love jack kerouac as well! i recently started on the road after not being able to finish a book for like 2 years, and im halfway through rn. also have the dharma bums somewhere

also !! heading to a very big second hand book shop soon, might have to get that kerouac book you were talking about and possibly a burroughs book

AHHHH YEAH ! dude on the road is so good . dharma bums as well.. god i love collecting literature LMAO

but that's so awesome!! i hate the lack of book shops that arent like major chain (read: barnes and noble) honestly so its good to know they still exist

[stagtorccio]

i saw the new pics from sophie’s shoot with jason renaud and thought about your version of siren!nat… i went feral. thats all, sorry for the inconvenience

LMAOOO that's so cute thank you for sharing anon ... all my alternate universe shit i've talked about here stacks up in my head like the pancakes meme

but yeah this is she

[stagtorccio]

also in a related manner to my latest tangent, i need someone to draw boxer nat

i heard it was butch day

[stagtorccio]

boxer!nat makes me 🤤🤤🤤 and i’m so glad we made it a thing.

this is boxer nat btw🙂‍↕️

[stagtorccio]

i’ve seen like 3 boxer nat posts recently, i feel like we rly made an impact

nat boxer renaissance spread the word... it's an honor to share custody with you anon

[stagtorccio]

i forgot i can just post whatever i want

[stagtorccio]

the dust bowl association is vile. i love it

there’s this burroughs book that i’ve been wanting to read for a while now but the concept seems like something that writer nat or just nat in general actually would like, it’s called wild boys.

i also feel that (this is mostly just me complaining) that modern nat in this writer au would hate the lack of independent book shops. like the library near me is so shit and also it’s interior is neon green but that’s irrelevant. and there literally isn’t any bookshops that are second hand or independent anywhere. not only cos of her background, but that lack of physical accessibility would piss her off to the extreme.

dude, YOU ARE SO REAL.

god almighty i hate the lack of book shops! like, as someone who lives in a very unwalkable area, i hate that every book shop is either the books section of a major department store (that mostly sells poorly written booktok smut, but, that's for another time aksfndsk) or over an hour away. it's upsetting!

and, yeah. the underfunded libraries... they're both comforting and frustrating.

but, the wild boys is actually an interesting read, so i think you're right! i've started to read some of it (not all because it is, admittedly, heavily confusing. i appreciate that about burroughs though) and it's just such an absurd concept that you can't help but be compelled, yk? lmao 😭

anyways, beat generation. i really like jack kerouac as another beat author, so, shameless plug: desolation angels. it's semi-autobiographical and VERY heavy on self reflection + disillusion in isolation, etc etc... the "human courage is an opiate" segment is SO fucking good

pulled it from goodreads because i'm committed:

"Human courage is an opiate but opiates are human too. If God is an opiate so am I. Therefore eat me. (...) Who are men, that they can insult men? Who are these people who wear pants and dresses and sneer? What am I talking about? I'm talking about human helplessness and unbelievable loneliness in the darkness of birth and death and asking 'What is there to laugh about in that?' 'How can you be cleaver in a meatgrinder?' 'Who makes fun of misery?'"

like, that excerpt alone is enough reason to read desolation angels PLEASE READ DESOLATION ANGELS this has been my ted talk lmao

[stagtorccio]

boxer!nat 🥊 — i love boxer nat so much 💔

— creds to @stagtorccio & his anon for this idea

once again neglecting boxer nat to say that i loved your new fic, intrigued as to where its going to go

would have to say van’s dog and nat at the end of ch2 and van’s dog in general were my fav bits

AWWW THANK YOU !!!

to be honest the first two chapters (and more after) have been in the works for .. some months akdhakdh ive just been fiddling with them because I couldnt quite figure out the story i wanted to tell

but. its official draft name is "bill and ted's new jersey road trip" and its basically a love letter to the people who got left behind and had to learn how to live, through the lens of two dear fictional characters lmao

as a wise utensil once told me "get your writing out there" so there you have it

some no context spoilers for following chapters, just as a treat and in no particular order

van palmer is ambidextrous and set loose with scissors

nat scatorccio becomes a stay at home father

so, do you think hole's better than nirvana?

kissing the homies isn't gay (really, it's not)

law and order: special victims unit

merry christmas, it's a boy!

a dysfunctional family reunion

[stagtorccio]

i’m back with some more writer nat cos i’m temporarily neglecting boxer nat, #sorry

her work would be very private, not in the shauna sense of don’t read my journal, but in the sense that no one actually knows she does it

very hard-hitting, gritty writing.

would be keen on the beat generation authors (i think i’ve seen this hc before), particularly burroughs

what she writes is very set in reality. it’s human, in a sense. she writes about what she knows

OH YES!

anon ik you're an ethel listener so, consider, dust bowl?

cooking our brains, smoking that shit your daddy smoked in Vietnam / you'd be a writer if he didn't leave all his hell for you

like... idk biting my nails that just SCREAMS this nat

and yes, the keenness on these beat generation authors who rejected the 'norm' at the time— she would LOVE that shit. i could see her gravitating towards burroughs as both a sort of idol (arguable starter of the movement) and a stylistic inspiration for her own writing

also I could see maybe an interest in anti war poetry? mainly this is me projecting because boots by rudyard kipling is one of my all time favorite poems and it's gained popularity recently that sort of bugs me, sort of makes me happy lmao

on top of that i also think maybe memoir writing would be interesting to nat, because of the vulnerability of that?

anachronistic to yellowjackets teen tl but a good example, i read the glass castle by jeanette walls growing up and it resonated with me a lot because i also came from a family like the walls, so, idk. i think she'd enjoy knowing that you could make a good story of a bad life
