Ummm was that a dinosaur I spotted in those Meg II gifs??? At first I thought it might have been a crocodile but after absolutely no scrutiny I was like: dinosaur.

I might need to actually watch this. Do I need to watch Meg I for it to make sense? Even if I don’t should I watch them both anyway? I’m not going to lie those gifs make it look incredible…

That is, in fact, a dinosaur because Meg 2 was like: well what's better than a seventy-foot shark? And the answer was watching a seventy-foot shark eat a Tyrannosaurus Rex. And they were right.

Yes, you 100% need to watch this and join me in my delusional fantasies - I have now watched this three times in three days, dialogue skeletoned a 5+1 fic and need to find time to watch it yet again so I can make sure my gestures and content are pitch perfect.

You do not need to watch Meg the first for this to make sense, it will just deepen your affection for the legacy characters, which is never a bad. Plus, there are a few callbacks (that make it more of a gay underwater romance) that I missed the first time I watched it (which obviously did not hinder my enjoyment) and on day two, I watched both back to back and caught them. (3.5. This is a movie about sharks eating dinosaurs, underwater research bases, giant carnivorous octopi, Fun Island, and two dads coparenting a teenager who can run circles around them - so just to note: it also does not need to make sense.)

That said, I absolutely recommend watching Meg the first. It was a hoot and it makes Meg the second more fun because once you start off that strong, you have to go wackier, right? Once you get to two, you're like: okay, I know why we are at this level of wacky and you have my stamp of approval.

It is, in fact, incredible. JOMING 5EVA (I gave them a ship name, I think I can do that when - at least last I looked, which admittedly was last week - I've got the only fic going [granted, it is unposted but nOT FOR LONG] and there are less than ten of us, haha.)

It's wild when people say it's not blatant how Nandor feels about Guillermo. Like. Girl. What fucking show have you been watching??? Mans admitted he went to space to impress Guillermo. They spent the entire goddamn season equating having a vampire who isn't your master turning you to cheating on someone, and when it came out to Nandor what Guillermo did Nandor went into full jealous rage. Like bruh,,,

i mean, seriously! i guess it's not gonna be clear until they fuck on screen i suppose!

Me puse a leer los cuentos de tu blog y me topé con El Buffet Navideño. Lo amé y casi me cago de risa en algunas partes. La verdad me encanta la forma en la que plasmaste todo y como tu escritura es tan ácida y fácil de leer.

Ojalá sigas con tus cuentos y escritos saludos desde Monterrey 🤠 

Awwww. ¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! De verdad que me das muchísimo ánimo y me alegro que te agrade mi escritura y que te causara risa, finalmente esa era la intención.

¡Y claro que sí! Ya estaré subiendo más cuentos próximamente.

¡Saludos al norte!

i had a dream that time travel was invented and too many people choose to travel back in time to save the titanic from sinking (the question of whether unsinking of the titanic deserved so much attention in the face of human history was the subject of both heavy academic and online discourse), which caused a rift in the space-time-continuum that led to the titanic showing up indiscriminately all over the world’s oceans and sea in various states of sinking.

this caused a lot of issues both in terms of fixing said space-time-continuum and in terms of nautical navigation, and after a long and heavy battle in the international maritime organization it was decided that the bureaucratic burden of dealing with this was to be upon Ireland, much to their dismay. the Irish Government then released an app for all sailors and seafarers so they could report titanic sightings during their journeys, even though they heavily dissuaded you from reporting them given the paperwork it caused.

anyway i woke up with a clear image of the app in my head and needed to recreate it for all of you:

I'm very tired of this "queer college students should stop supporting Palestine, they'd kill you there!" I watched a hijabi ask a trans man, "but what name do you want to go by?" A butch giving a woman their hoodie so that she could keep her hair covered after the cops took her scarf. Muslim girls making sure the lesbian couple got through the system together. Religious men making sure purple haired protestors got out safe. I don't want to hear it. Solidarity forever, free Palestine.

its so brave that you have such a 2012-coded url in this 2024 world

would you call a bear brave for standing in a new construction suburb or would you recognize the unfamiliar world they built around him

Can you tell us about How to Breathe 101?

Ah yes, the one I am actively, actually most trying to finish (before I got distracted by this week's fullmoonficlet prompt anyway). It's one of my favorite genres in fiction and in this specific fandom it's: Stiles fell first, but Derek fell harder.

It was originally just going to be a short fic about Derek learning to breathe in harmony with his pack. Since panic attacks are so woven into TW via Stiles, I kind of wanted to explore Derek having these kind of slow motion ones. Not necessarily because he wants to be alone but because that's what he knows, that's what he's gotten comfortable with, and holy shit there are so many people depending on him now, relying on him, and actually wanting to be in his space and how does he both accept that and allow himself to rely on that when he knows how transitory everything is?

I really, REALLY love when people miss their window - or, more accurately, perceive themselves to've missed their window and are now pining for someone they know once loved them. Inject that shit directly into my VEINS, please!

The plan was to have a much shorter progression but then I added in a more mage-y magic Stiles, with his power connected to growth and potential and blossoming (because no one can accuse me of being subtle LOL), and gave him an OC love interest so there was a distraction from any possible festering - I really didn't want Stiles to have even a hint of bitterness and that was a good way to be like: don't focus on the pit of despair, have casual sex! And also a good way to get across that Derek's love isn't possessive but rather focused around Stiles' happiness, which is always a big one for me (which is not to say I don't love jealous/possessive stuff, I DO, but sometimes that's just not what ya want). Then I set Stiles' magical edification in Ireland and got distracted with the wind over the bluffs and the sea crumbling cliffs and all that wild, fresh air there is to breathe and that's where I am at the moment.

Snippet:

Stiles takes him up over the bluff, fingers trailing currents as they walk, and they can see the cottage in the distance.  A dilapidated daffodil yellow and foggy gray (once white) thing that looks uninhabited.  It’s hilly terrain but clear as far as the eye can see.  The grass is buffeted up against their calves by the relentless wind and they can hear the ocean even if they can’t see it from where they are. “It’s beautiful,” Derek says. Stiles breathes deep.  “Magic, right?”  He throws a wink over his shoulder before holding out his hands, palm parallel to the ground on either side of him, and closes his eyes.  The long blades of grass shift and swirl and shoot up and up and up, getting larger and wider and greener as they grow, striving to tickle Stiles’ fingers as they pass his knees and hips.  They keep going until Derek has to tilt his head back and the strands twist at the apex above their heads and Derek can’t help the startled sound he makes as the tunnel forms, extending further with every step Stiles takes. The grass doesn’t stay static either, it’s still rustling, braiding itself together, sliding into every empty place, forming an arch above them.  The day darkens around them as they’re sealed off from above. Derek stares, first at the living thing surrounding them, and then at the man in front of him. “I had no idea you were capable of this.” “Neither did I.”  Stiles half-laughs.  “I don’t think Maire or Ciaran did either.  Honestly, I think it freaks them both out a little so, y’know, discretion?  I’ve been trying to do that whole thing.  Cutting back on it a little, pretending everything’s a bit harder, doing a little less than I’m actually capable of.  Not that—I mean, they’re supportive and all but I get the feeling this is new and therefore different for them.”  He drops his hands and the grass unbraids, slithering, sinking back down into the earth as though it was never anything else.  He’s not looking at Derek.  “It’s nice not to have to hedge.” He waits a beat then waggles his eyebrows over the pun and Derek rolls his eyes.

Wip list is here!

I wanna take the word queerbaiting away from most people in fandom tbh because it doesn't mean "this ship didn't go my way this season", it describes a behavior of "wait and see wink wink" marketing where people outside the show dangle the possibility of queerness to keep and audience and never deliver. That's also kinda simplifying to some degree but I'm tired. Nandor and Guillermo are both canon, blatantly queer men. Just because it's a slowburn and isn't doing what people demand in this fandom immediately doesn't mean it's platonic and queerbait. And this without getting into my fears of how it's gonna go down when they actually get there, because while Guillermo might not be polyamorous I don't really think that Nandor will suddenly become monogamous for him either. Tbh

people screaming queerbating was what made me leave the tag tbh. it also makes me roll my eyes so hard when people say that there's nothing obvious about how nandor feels for guillermo. like, some people didn't like the finale, others did, and that's fine and all, but not liking it just because your ship didn't become canon? when it has been so much growth from all the characters makes me want to shake these people, but listen! all this you said. you're so right for it.

You don't have to answer this at all, but your recent post about unfollowing those that have not given you the time of day despite putting effort in is the reason you and I drifted apart. Six unanswered messages and unanswered replies is the very reason I stopped putting effort in. You're not very welcoming to those who try and put effort in either and I think you'd find more partners and longtime friends if you treated us like you want to be treated. It goes both ways.

ooc;; i'm gonna answer this because i think there's a misunderstanding. when i made this message, i was talking about people who for years (or half a year as i clearly stated), i have followed and we haven't written a single word together. not about those that have sent asks that i'm yet to reply to, or who's threads i have in my drafts. i have people on here that since the moment i clicked on that follow thing, have said 0 things, nothing. that's what i was talking about.

now, i have to disagree with you. i do believe i'm a very welcoming person, i try to interact with everyone, i do it to the point that i think that this is my main issue. i take more threads than what i'm probably able to handle, but i don't like to make anyone feel ignored.

now you say that i don't put in the effort, but i also have to disagree with that. i put effort, but maybe what you consider "effort" it's not the same to what i see as "effort" and i mean this in the best way possible. as of lately i haven't been doing so hot and i'm going through a weird patch (which is why i haven't answered any messages as of lately or written much either, which personally is making me feel so bored and gray, because i love writing on here and yet for some reason unknown to me i haven't been able to do so and everything i write feels a bit shitty. i want to reply to things asks & threads, i want to have fun on here, but i just feel drained (probably because of my classes), but yeah.

now. i'll never complain about people not giving me the time, when i barely have time to get all the things that i want to get out there, reason why i made sure to mention about people with 0 interaction after a year... because i mean... a year is a year, plenty of time there to at least like a post or something.

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method
