writer in the dark

[the-scarlet-witch-22]

wip Wednesday, yeeeessss.

Ok, I'm dying to know what is your writing process? Do u listen to specific music for a specific fic? Do you already have the entire fic in your head or do u let it take u where it wants to over time? Whats your fav fic to write? Do you add small details from your personal life there? And what has been the hardest to write so far? Is there a trope you love but haven't been able to write for so far?

Sooo many questions 😂

Hi anon <3 Oooo okay let's get into it.

My writing process is kind of boring, I think. I have to be in a particular headspace to write, and getting inspiration and motivation can be so so challenging. But I usually will have an iced coffee, or something to drink, turn on my music and just start typing haha. It usually helps me to re-read what I've written and do a couple passes to get the voice right, but that's about it. I'll also sometimes watch clips from WV and now A3 to keep Agatha's characterization in mind, even though these are mostly au's. When I'm done I can be a bit picky with editing, and I always have girlfriend beta for me to help pick up on anything I may have missed.

I typically make a playlist for every fic I write, and will add onto it as the story progresses. I've shared my Chaconne playlist in the past, but I can definitely make them all public if anyone is ever interested in what I listen to as I write!

9 times out of 10 I usually have the main plot mapped out in my head when I start writing a story. With Chaconne, for example, I was listening to the piece one night and thought about Agatha in a world as a conductor. I have changed plots, though. My original plan for Chaconne was a lot different than what I ended up going with, haha.

My fave fic to write... oh that's like picking a favorite kid, but definitely Lark (although I love all of them in their own way).

I'm gonna cut because I ramble a bit more below xoxo

I have definitely intentionally, and also unintentionally, drawn inspiration from my own life with some of my writing, haha. Chaconne/Lark absolutely with music references and rehearsal scenes. It's kind of just my inner monologue whenever I play the violin, if that makes sense. I think the unintentional aspects are from relationships and from moments of time in my life where I never really got closure, and I've kind of projected that into my writing.

The hardest fic to write...probably Love & Liabilities. There are some pretty sensitive topics that are about to come into play in a few chapters that I want to make sure are handled respectfully and doesn't offend anyone in the process. This is actually what inspired the majority of the fic, and it's something that has helped me kind of deal with some things that have been going on in my life over the past year or so.

Tropes I haven't done but am interested in hmmm... I feel like I've hit the majority of ones that I tend to favor, but I'd love to do like a Pride & Prejudice type of story with Agatha as this wealthy spinster, lmao. I also love The Bear and that found family sort of relationship that's on the show, and I feel like Agatha would thrive in a story like that (I'm specifically thinking of that pic of Kathryn that was released yesterday in the chef outfit)

Anyways, bit of a ramble but thank you so much for the questions! This made me so happy to type out and I appreciate you very much <3

This is the stats screen for Kathryn “Katie” Emmerson, my MC for the story. She is the oldest twin, but she is more soft-spoken. Her younger twin brother Landon was always one to wear his emotions directly on his sleeve and take charge of the situation, while she is one to observe before acting. She is a lefty and loves to write, and tends to get lost in her thoughts and daydream often. She is a bookworm and introverted, while her brother is more athletic and social. *Very* much opposites. Katie struggles with her self-image a lot, doubts herself and her abilities. She is one of the top students in the class, but she believe it to be because she works hard, not because of any real talent or intelligence.

While Landon is irresponsible and carefree, she studies and keeps herself on the straight and narrow. After all, *someone* had to fill in the shoes Maggie left unfilled, and their father Arthur… well, who knows where he is? So she kind of had to grow up a bit faster as a result.

I have the headcanon that Katie’s *not* close to her mother Maggie while her twin is, hence him throwing away the locket picture. It hurt Landon more, hence not wanting to keep it. She has lost hope of her mother returning, but she tries to give her brother hope by trying to be more optimistic in front of him about it. Now if Landon can sense that… no idea :O

Rosie, her best friend, does make life a bit more gentle, though– when Katie has a bad day, she knows just who to go to for a hug. Always more willing to listen than to speak, the two tend to balance each other well, with Katie being the more quiet one and Rosie being more outgoing.

In terms of confrontation, Katie acts with words/smarts. So when confronted with B, she cut straight to the point on the matter. She loves learning new things, but in a more innocent way than Lily, I suppose– not as intense of an investigator, but curious of the world just to learn everything about it. (If this is too much, let me know! I got a bit inspired xD)

Hello, thank you for consulting Roselyna’s Matchmaking Service! Rosie had to finish her homework first, so sorry for the late response!

And nope, I don’t think it’s too much. But anyway, here are our Top 3 picks!

1. Well, I can’t *not* choose Roselyna as the top candidate now, can I? 😛 It’s true that Rosie’s more outgoing, but she’s also a great listener for when Katie has to vent, and they’d be able to relate/help with each other’s insecurities. Rosie also admires the much smarter students since she wants to be a teacher, so with Katie believing it’s a result of her hardwork, I think they’d be a good influence for each other. Bonus points too for also being a Daddy’s girl, hehe.

2. Wayne’s probably the second best candidate. Not just by virtue of being Rosie’s bestfriend, but also because Wayne also had a lot of experience with Rosie, back when she was much more reserved. She might not be fond of his troublemaker nature, but she’d probably appreciate his natural curiosity. And he’d know just the thing to cheer Katie up (and uplift her insecurities) with his playful teasing. Would she follow Wayne when he runs away in the Chapter 6 preview? Because I can see that being the scene where they can truly open up to each other.

3. We didn’t have a clear choice for number three, but we’ll go with JM. Being one of the top students means she’ll naturally be interacting with JM quite a bit, so I can see that being the starting spark of their relationship, especially with JM always looking out for her. JM would never make the first move (especially with school being his top priority), but he’d always be there if she needs someone to talk to, and I can see them having a late night conversation where everything just clicks with neither of them realizing it.

dancing with our hands tied and hits different are indeed fragments of the same story. but so are wonderland and cowboy like me. and here comes the part where i confess that dwoht (for me!) can be both a love song and a sad/breakup song, just like clm. but hold on, before anyone kills me... let me try to explain (i’ll separate each song by colours to make the parallels more clear).

here’s how dwoht also works as a breakup song. first of all: I COULD’VE spent forever with your hands in my pockets. You said there was nothing in the world that could stop it, I had a bad feeling → And you asked me to dance but I said, “Dancing is a dangerous game”. Oh, I thought this is gonna be one of those things → They say that if it’s right, you know. Nothing has ever felt so wrong → We found Wonderland, you and I got lost in it. And we pretended it could last forever. like when you had a bad feeling something was going to happen and “you should’ve seen it coming” (I should’ve slept with one eye open at night) but you kept dancing and refused to see it. hoping it’d work out eventually. AND THEN comes the bridge. which in dwoht it’s like, i would do ALL these things and get burnt in my own house even if it catches us inside. i would stick with you and hug you no matter what IF! i could just dance with you again. it doesn’t say “if that means we can keep dancing” or something like that. it’s a could that almost sounds like a shouting prayer. but if that still feels unclear, go back to the start where the lyrics literally say “could have”.

dwoht is about the fear of something ruining the love you have (or had), which are common fears that appear in the beginning of a relationship, but they also do at the end of it. therebefore, it’s still a song about the fear of this love being ruined by x or not being strong enough to face the mess around it (which was the mess that you wanted! → you made a mess of me) and so that motivates them to keep trying, keep dancing. because they just can’t help falling in love with each other. like gravity keeping you with me. but what happens when they no longer want that mess...? only time can confirm or deny these fears, that are seen quite a lot thoughout her most vulnerable songs. in these 4, they are also very loud. until they conclude with: In the good in the world, you once believed in me. And I felt you and I held you for a while → Now you hang from my lips like the Gardens of Babylon → You held on tight to me ‘cause nothing’s as it seems → Oh, and you held me close. How was I to know that? → Is that your key in the door? Is it okay? Is it you? Why the wound is still bleedin'? You were the one that I loved → I reached for you, but you were gone. I knew I had to go back home → With your boots beneath my bed, forever is the sweetest con. And I’m never gonna love again → I loved you in spite of deep fears that the world would divide us and I’d kiss you as the lights went out, swaying as the room burned down. I’d hold you as the water rushes in... If I could dance with you again.

*this is completely inspired by kathryn’s analysis which fucked me up and it took me forever because i’m not very good at it. so if you’ve read all of this, thank you. if it still doesn’t make any sense though, please be nice to me. i tried <3

Twin Stars of My Heart Part 5

That's right, I'm back and so are the twins. I just read "Burmiating in a Winter Wonderland" by @elephant-in-the-pride-parade (go read it's really good) and it inspired me to writ about the twins agani.

Earth is super weird to the twins

Weather is confusing to them. WHat do you mean there's no computers to make the temperature more comfortable?

They like being on Earth for like 3 days and then start asking when they can go back on the ship. They are shocked when they are told this is home now.

It takes them a long time to warm up to Earth

There's way more people than on the ship and things aren't as tightly run. People just do things when they want and don't always respect schedules or duty rosters

Kids are adaptable and they do adapt but it takes time

Castor acts out the worst. He throws fits when he has to visit Mark or go to school. Kathryn spends extra time with him in order to help him transition

They both find they enjoy meeting new species and once he opens up Castor finds he's really good with people

They get upset when they can't jsut visit the crew when they want like they coudl on ship. Especially when they can't see Seven all the time

Kathryn can't blame them because she misses her crew too

Suprisingly when Voyager A launches, they are hesitant to go with their mom. But they learn there's schools and more people and they join pretty quick.

Castor decides his first day on the ship that he wants to be out in space for as long as possible and he's going to be just like his mom

Pollux follows him because of course he does. What else was he going to do?

Join us next time for...I don't know. We'll see what I think up

✨ 2022 Writing Year In Review ✨

Thanks to @feeisamarshmallow​ for tagging me! Sorry it took me a while to get to it!

1. Number of stories posted to AO3: 10

2. Word count posted for the year: 37,228

3. Fandoms I wrote for: Stranger Things, Star Trek: Voyager ( and a hint of Prodigy), Revolution, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Battlestar Galactica.

4. Pairings: Chrissy Cunningham/Eddie Munson, Kathryn Janeway/Chakotay Charlie Matheson/Miles Matheson, Faith Lehane/Buffy Summers, Lee "Apollo" Adama/Kara "Starbuck" Thrace"

5. Story with the most:

Kudos: Five Times No One Saw Eddie and Chrissy Together (No Make That Four) 303 Kudos on my entry into a new fandom.

Bookmarks: (See most kudos above) 47 Bookmarks

Comments: (Same) 20 Comment Threads.

6. Work I’m most proud of (and why):

"Don't Leave Me Dry" I think. There's something about writing a fic you know is going "bomb" but you just want to write it so much you do it anyway. I knew going into it that once again I was writing a problematic ship in a dead fandom, that would probably be commented on by @romeorevoarchive and one other person, but I was struck with one little moment, that kind of inspiration that usually gets trapped in the shower or car, and I went for it anyway and do you know what: I love the immediacy, the way I ended up using music to frame it, the characterization, the physicality, the rawness and tenderness that feels so quintessentially Miles and Charlie.

7. Work I’m least proud of (and why):. . .

This is maybe going to sound weird (or entitled and bratty) and also sound contradictory to what I said in the prior response, but. . . 23K of the 37k words I wrote were my three part More Normal Things series and part of me wishes I had just left that whole thing with the first part. While the hit count didn't drop that much between them, every other metric (kudos, comments, bookmarks) took a nose and it just makes me feel like I should have quit while I was ahead. Maybe I should have written the more flashy concept Hellcheer AUs I had instead of continuing to just explore their dynamic. Maybe I should have just been pleased with the amazing welcome to the fandom I got on that first fic and moved on after that positive little moment. There are things I really liked about those second two parts, but it is obvious that readers felt diminishing returns, and that makes me wish I had updated any of my other series or WIPs instead.

8. Share or describe a favorite review you received:

Is it cheating to choose a whole series of comments I received / comment conversation I had in response to Salvation and Rapture For the Lonely? They started with this gem

and only got better from there. When I finally posted my Martha/Nine epic in 2018, I knew that it was ten years late and a super niche pairing to begin with, but it was my hope that at least one person out there would stumble upon it and be really excited for the same reasons that most people would not be interested at all, and in the last four years that is exactly what has happened a handful of times. This wonderful human left effusive, detailed, comments on every chapter and then responded to my rambling replies in a way that gave me that high of finding someone who just GETS IT.

9. A time when writing was really, really hard:

Most of the year, honestly. I really struggled to write anything most of the time (pretty much the only time writing was really flowing was August).

10. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you: 

I definitely didn't see Hellcheer as a ship (or writing anything for Stranger Things) coming. If you had told me that my new ship in 2022 would be some freshly introduced high school kids from a single episode of the show, I would have been skeptical.

11. A favorite excerpt of your writing:

From "Whispered" :

“Going to take more than that to get rid of me, Summers.” Faith feels herself smile, mostly because it hurts to move her face that much.

“Good,” Buffy smiles back, doing that lip biting thing that is a suggestion and a protestation of innocence at the same time. Perfect. Humanizing. Prudish. Primal. The reluctant hero. The girl who knows or doesn’t know she’s hot. “We still have a First Evil to defeat.”

We. When was the last time either of them actually believed that even existed? Had Buffy ever? Or was it only Faith who even wanted that to be true? No. Buffy just wanted everyone to play by her rules, not the other way around. Sometimes, Faith even wished she could do that, be relegated to a sidekick instead of a problem. If there’s one constant in the world it is me being a disruption, a wrinkle in someone’s perfect life… No. She reminds herself. I don’t have to be. I can be different.

Buffy is looking at her, really looking at her, and Faith wonders what she sees. She must look like shit. Feeling superior as usual, B? she thinks, but that’s not really what she sees in her expression. If I’m vulnerable, so are you. That it? She’s not sure that’s quite right either, but no more comforting thought is coming to mind, so she looks away.

12. How did you grow as a writer this year: 

Honestly 2022 was pretty much a fallow year for me as a writer. I suspect I won't see what changed in my writing until I am looking back on it from the perspective of what I write in 2023.

13. How do you hope to grow next year:

I would really like to get better at being able to push through and get words typed more consistently even when they are not flowing.

14. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc): 

@romeorevoarchive who held my hand through everything I wrote or didn't write this year and even read some fic for a fandom she doesn't care about. Also special shout out to @anverli for the visual inspiration for (Don't Leave Me Dry) and many people but especially @phoenixwrites for the enthusiastic welcome to Hellcheer.

15. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year:

Probably the most personal work I wrote this year was Exhausted Midas. I've been feeling really overwhelmed and burnt out, both like I need and want to do more and like I need to cut back on my commitments. I've been dropping a lot of balls. It is hard not to feel like this is who I am now, and I feel like that's a lot of what I was exploring with this character study of Janeway, pre-Prodigy.

16. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers:

This isn't new but here are a few reminders for myself and others:

Just because you are struggling to write right now doesn't mean you will never write again. Try to relax. Read. Trust that inspiration and focus will come together again someday.

Learn to scale down the scope of a writing project, just because "what happens" is big, doesn't mean you need to show it all: skip to the most interesting part, do abrupt transitions if you need to, add flashbacks if you need context instead of writing thousands of words to get to that critical detail

Find a buddy you can talk through the process with while writing, someone who you can send snippets to, someone you can bounce ideas off of, someone to make you feel less alone and in your own head.

Sit down and do flash fiction based on any prompt. There's something about just finding a way to make some constraint work and typing out whatever you can in what sitting before setting it loose on the world.

17. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year:

Last week, I came across a list from two years ago with 20 things on it. I had actually written and posted 1, which means who knows what will happen but right now:

I would really like to update (and possibly even finish) one of my major partly posted WIPS: k'war'ma'khon (my Georgiou!lives Discovery AU) and Dragon Marked (my soulmarks, reincarnation, modern with some magic Dany/Jorah epic).

I would like to complete my long planned sequels for The Smallest Twine (my Janeway and Chakotay meet before the end of the Cardassian War and that changes EVERYTHING AU . . . though it makes me sad to think about how Laura inspired it all and she's not here to enjoy the rest of it now) and the next installment of Balancing Act (my Logan/Veronica/Weevil threesome + series)

I would like to finally finish and post some of the in progress fics that have been languishing in my Google Drive for years, including but not limited to: the Veronica Mars Season 3 AU I started in 2014, the Greek Myth AU Janeway/Chakotay fic, my Jaime/Brienne, Sansa/Aegon, Davos/Jon Connington ASOIAF solution.

Some fic ideas I have not actually written, including but not limited to: Miles gets swapped with an alternate timeline version of himself Revo fic, Hellcheer Room With a View AU, that BtVS/Punisher crossover fic with Faith/Billy Russo (okay that pairing actually the whole idea), my inevitable Elendil/Mirael fic.

18. Tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read.

Let's go with: @clarasimone, @liminal-zone, @janiedean, and @lilalbatross but anyone who wants to do this, should

[yourbraidlikeapattern]

hi. i still can’t believe that i went to Era’s Tour back in May so i wanna talk about it! :))

so a little background on me is that Debut was the very first CD i owned and i dressed up as Taylor for Halloween in 2010, Taylor Swift has always meant SO much to me, but i could never afford/was able to see her UNTIL this year for Eras tour, when my sister MIRACULOUSLY got floor tickets!

the day of Eras was one of the most fun, exhilarating days of my life, so here’s some highlights!

so first off, for my fit i went with one of my all time FAVORITE photos of taylor! and then obviously the obligatory stadium photo! Metlife N1 begins!!

we found our way to the floor after doing all of the fun opportunities (like the elevator which i can’t seem to find :( ) and two other really sweet swifties took a picture for us!!

the openers section was CRAZY because my sister and i had seen Gayle before and FELL IN LOVE WITH HER so it was so exciting to get to see her on the Eras stage. AND during her performance we were screaming and singing and dancing as much as we could, and her manager brought us bracelets that Gayle herself made for fans!! After Gayle, i noticed Kathryn Gallagher sitting behind me and i knew i had to tell her how much i admired her and she gave me a KARMA bracelet (v important considering how much Karma we got that night!) Next up was Phoebe and i’ll spare you the photos and videos of me sobbing seeing this beautiful woman. (also still not over hearing Emily I’m Sorry live.)

so then, the time FINALLY came to see Taylor. after 16 years of being a fan, getting to see her walk on stage with my own eyes literally felt like i was witnessing the coming of christ. how is she real?!?

i was at Metlife N1, so you know that the second half of that night was one of the most Unhinged nights of this tour, and i only have evidence of 1. so let me just share my thoughts.

1. Getting the Karma MV was SO ridiculously fun but what was even more fun was sneaking glances at Taylor and her dancers watching. they looked SO proud and SO excited. it was radiating off of them!!!

2. JACK MF ANTONOFF ON STAGE FOR GETAWAY CAR. I actually fell to the ground when she announced Jack bc i was OVERJOYED by that news. and it was everything i could have ever wanted AND then some.

3. Maroon was…unreal. immaculate. tears STREAMING down my face. this was my sister’s most wanted surprise song, so it was a big treat for us!!

4. and finally, her bringing Ice Spice on stage to perform Karma at the end was CRAZY fun and a perfect way to tie up a Karma heavy evening.

at the end of the show, we headed back to home and thought about all the fun we just had, all the memories we just made, and the bracelets still clung to our wrists.

the Eras Tour was easily the best concert of my life and i still feel as lucky at 22 as i did when i was 6, discovering Taylor wandering a CD aisle. she is an extremely devoted, talented, hardworking, and ambitious artist that inspires me in my art and life. i hope that i can make it to whatever tours come next for her, but if i can’t and this was my one time seeing her, it was a really damn good time.

As a patron, you get ad - free and music - only episodes before regular listeners, vote in the Celtic Top 20, stand - alone stories, you get a private feed to listen to the show or you can listen through the Patreon app.  All that for as little as $1 per month.

There are big changes coming to Patreon starting soon. Patreon is moving to a monthly subscription model. It shouldn’t affect you too much. But it will save me from the hassle of accidentally forgetting to charge per episode.

The amount you pay will be what you normally pledge per month. I'll let you know as soon as the change is official so we can get things worked out.

If you need to make any changes, and you're on an iPhone, remember to do it through your browser, not through the app. They will charge you an extra fee. If you're on Android, you're fiiiiine! :)

A special thanks to our new and continued Patrons of the Podcast: Yoke, Gershon, P Michael Degan

TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS

Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos.

I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK

What are you doing today while listening to the podcast? Please email me. I’d love to see a  picture of what you're doing while listening. Is there a new Celtic CD or Celtic band that you heard of or saw?

Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic.

Before I share what others do while listening, I thought I'd share one from your podcast host, me. We listened to the podcast through the Scottish Highlands as I led the Celtic Invasion of Scotland’s Whisky. It was a great trip. If you want to see pictures, I am FINALLY posting them on my blog. Check out the Celtic Invasion Photos. There’s a link in the shownotes or go to marcgunn.net

Mindy from River Drivers emailed a correction: "Hi Marc, We wanted to thank you for including our music on both the Friel Sisters podcast and Cherish the Ladies. We love both of these groups!

We really appreciate it! You have actually been playing our music since our first album in 2015 and we are very grateful

Just noticed though that in both of these latest podcasts, you are linking to the wrong band.

Our website is www.TheRiverDrivers.com

Thanks again for all you do for the music!"

Please send corrections.

River G. emailed an Android podcatcher recommendation: "Marc, Just a quick recommendation of another great podcast app on Android. It's called AntennaPod and is truly free. I attached a screenshot so people know what the icon looks like. (It may also be on IOS, but I'm not sure.)

Shel O'Toole emailed: "Hi Marc, I usually listen to your show when I’m working from home but podcast # 681 Lady of the House I saved for my drive back home from a visit to my sister.

Listening to the music brought memories of my father who played numerous instruments,  solo and with others.  The banjo was my favourite (which Is probably why I play banjo), followed by the  accordion, he had both button and piano accordions, and the fiddle. He also played harmonica, piano and even the gum leaf (definitely an Australian thing).

I took my father’s violin which I had restored recently so my sister could see it for herself.  It was in a terrible state when it came to me but its voice is restored and it’s very pleasant.  Now the challenge of learning to play.

I look forward to the podcast every week, so thanks Marc for all you do and for the magic you create in weaving together the music of Ireland and the music influenced by Ireland and the stories of the people who are touched by the force of the Celts.

Warm regards"

Caiette’s Swynwrimo 2024: Task #30 — SWYNRP Character Wishlist

A list of 10+ characters you’d like to see in the RP (for you to play or someone else!) 

Divided into wants for others and wants for me!!

WANTS FOR OTHERS

LENA de SPELL

** previously mislabeled an FC suggestion don't mind me lol

Hear me out! Play my niece! I just love familiar relationships and I would love to create a dynamic with a Lena! I don't have good face-claim recommendations, but I think it would be cool to explore the de Spell's Jewish side? Not a pre-req though, just something my version of Magica has thoughts about!

NORMA GOTHEL

Someone pick this woman up before I do <3 I mean, I'm hitting a lot of the same beats with Magica, and AS SUCH, I need someone else to take this woman away from me, pls and thanks.

MING LEE

Take her. Away from me. Thank you. Another mom that I should not have. I love Ming Lee, but I'm trying to branch out! Make waves! Be different! Also, I just love the idea of having more Moms to talk to? That would be fun. Especially those with difficult relationships with their kids, isn't that fun?

ANY OF THE W.I.T.C.H. GALS!

Listen, I would fill in the gaps but I'd love some guardians to pal around with! I'd even take on Elyon if ya needed but YEA! I just think they're neat, I LOVE W.I.T.C.H. !!!

TURNING RED GIRLS

Listen, I love that quartet so much and I'd love to pal around with them if I ever pick up Vee or an Amphibia girl! I'm so sorry this is not more specific, I just love them and would love to see any interpretation of them!

4-TOWN

Listen, I love that quartet quintet so much and I think it'd be awesome to see them around! The bios are fun and leave a lot of room for play and I think it'd be fun to have some pop guys around!

Flower Holloway

I just think having Flower around would be neat and fun! I know this list is mostly vibes but it's about the energy the characters would bring to Swynlake and I think I'd love getting to know a Flower Holloway! Same with a Pascal, etc. Also getting more canonical Business owners!

WANTS FOR ME

VEE!!!

Pictured: Kathryn Bernardo

I want this girlypop (genderneutral) back! I love her! I miss her! But I'd want to do a revamp or two and get my activity in order before I picked them back up.

FAIRY GODMOTHER

Pictured: Kathryn Hahn

"But Caiette, wasn't Kathryn Hahn on your list last y--" Shut up! <3 The vision has shifted but listen, I think she could play Fairy Godmother with a devil-may-care, "I know best" attitude! Plus!! I want to get into the fairies, so!!

SASHA WAYBRIGHT

Pictured: Renee Rapp (idk, I'll figure it out)

"Whoa Caiette, this is way off brand!!!" Yes, you're right!! This is very off-brand! But I still think it'd be interesting as a challenge! Sasha has a level of authority that I don't think I have in real life and I think it would be interesting to play with that on a character level!

LIZZIE T. FORD

Pictured: Lily Tomlin, bc why not! Also Bebe Neuwirth, bc why not x2!

A town eccentric that's passionate about history? Yes, please~! I think I looked at Lizzie's bio a few times and thought that it hit a lot of the notes I'd love, but I wasn't as versed in Swynlake History at the time. Still have some research to do, but I think it'd be neat!

CHANCELLOR RHIANNON DEARG CROI

I love playing Red Queens/Queen of Hearts. Hear me out -- I just think playing a vampire CHANCELLOR would be cool af. Not as high on my list, but listen. I think it'd be a ball. No FC inspo right now, but that doesn't mean I won't have any!

URANIA/LINUS OF HESIOD

I actually have an app somewhere for this lovely person. I love space, stars, epiphanies, the idea of the muses.... I think it would be very interesting to be part of an order like that.

DAWN BELLWETHER

Listen, I don't have a FC in mind, pure vibes if I ever write the app will lead to inspiration.

I just think she's neat! And also, it breaks my magicks only streak! I need to get some Mundus in here, tbh. I think having someone who is subtle about their prejudices is.... interesting. It's sort of Moon about Monsters, but Dawn about magicks! Which, not great!!! But interesting on a character level!

Caiette's Swynwrimo 2024 Tracklist.

[televinita]

I feel it may be bad etiquette to hijack a femslash post explicitly to ramble about the het shipping notions it inspired in me, so I'm going to make my own, but please imagine this attached directly to the Brennan/Hannah post that (if all goes well) I reblogged right above this one:

---------------------

I just did the most immediate double take at the center picture because WAIT A MINUTE!!

When I stormed away from Bones in a fit of fury after episode 100, soft-quit the show for the rest of the season, and then rage-quit forever due to the introduction of A Love Interest for Booth (only catching up on the shippy clips, after the series ended), I did so with no knowledge of what Hannah looked like, or at minimum only a glancing look in a slideshow to confirm how bad everything was. It was pretty much a given that I would never watch a full episode of the show again, or at the very least, I would never go into The Shadowlands a.k.a. the string of episodes between #100 and when B/B are officially a couple.

But if that love interest is Kathryn Winnick, now best known to me as my dearly beloved star of Big Sky / headcanon sister of Julia Shumway from an entirely different channel and genre of show / absolutely lovely and captivating actress in her own right??

Now that's a ship I can get behind, especially if it's temporary. Now it's a storyline I can understand. I am not sorry about being forever pissed by how they handled that whole mess in the first place, but as far as consolation prizes go, this is extremely nice, even if it had to be on time-delay.

[edit: doing a quick little google and what do you mean she's a journalist oh my god maybe THIS character is the one that's Julia's sister. Twin, even.]

[edit 2: "Booth meets Hannah in Afghanistan after saving her from a situation with terrorists." WHAT]

[edit 3: "Later, Booth gets a call that Hannah was shot when interrogating a member of the community," WHAT! Also, what's the name of that other woman he used to work with, I don't quite recall her name...might have started with a B?]

[ratsreading]

Mid year book freakout tag

This has been a bit of a weird reading year for me so far but here we go.

1. What is the best book you've read in 2024 so far?

Toss up between Exo+Cross Fire (Fonda Lee) and Alien Clay (Adrian Tchaikovsky)

Right, so Exo+Cross Fire, a duology, is a fantastically nuanced take on colonialism/imperialism, and also a very compelling, fun, interesting, heart-wrenching read. There are fun aliens! Well, I say "fun". Interesting might be the word.

And Alien Clay is a drily humorous story of a man at an exoplanetary labour camp attempting to scientifically understand alien life while also straining against dogmatic rules for said science. There is fun alien life! Well, I say "fun". Interesting might be the word.

2. Best sequel you've read so far in 2024?

Cross Fire (Fonda Lee) or The Girl and the Moon (Mark Lawrence) (it really stuck the landing. Like really).

3. New (from 2024, ideally) release you haven't read yet, but want to?

Most Ardently, Gabe Cole Novoa (Pride and Prejudice retelling with an trans Oliver Bennet, who most believe is a girl named Elizabeth, as main character? Yes, please)

4. Most anticipeated release for second half of 2024?

I haven't really looked at what's coming :/

5. Biggest disappointment?

I've read some really meh books this year but they've mostly been weird romance stuff where I wouldn't necessarily expect them to be great either. Idk. Maybe Sweet Berries (CM Nascosta) or Bound to the Shadow Prince (Ruby Dixon) because they were worse than books by the same authors I'd already read - so below expectations.

6. Biggest surprise?

Probably that I really enjoyed an Omegaverse book: Lola & the Millionairs (Parts 1 and 2), Kathryn Moon.

7. New favourite author?

I read my first T Kingfisher this year - A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking - and it was so fun and lovely! I am a sucker for familiars (in various shapes and forms) and this one has two :D so probably that one. I guess we'll see how I feel once I've read more from Kingfisher.

Runner up is Mark Lawrence - I read him for the first time 2023 (The Girl and the Stars) but finished that trilogy, Book of the Ice, this year - and am now looking forward to reading more by him.

8. Newest fictional crush?

Oh this is always hard, I don't know that I get crushes like that? I tend to like the characters in the relationships they're in, not for myself. I certainly liked the pack from Lola (maybe especially Matthieu). I loved Edwin and Robin from A Marvellous Light (Freya Marske) together. The Shadow Creature in Two for Tea: Welcome to Azathé (CM Nascosta) was an inspiring concept.

9. Newest favourite character?

Bob the Sentient Sourdough Starter (A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking, T Kingfisher).

10. Book that made you cry?

Exo/Cross Fire, Fonda Lee (I read these in quick succession and am struggling to remember what happened in which book, but I think both may have made me cry, actually. Certainly at least one)

11. Book that made you happy?

Well, plenty of cozy romancy stuff, I guess - at least temporarily (The Dragons of Mayfair come to mind. Also Lola). But also any of the really great books like Exo and Alien Clay will make me happy just because they're good and I enjoy them.

12. Most beautiful book you've bought this year?

Didn't by either of these as I listened to them via my audiobook service (where you don't pay for individual books, you subscribe and get access to their library), but the Book of the Ice books are all gorgeous, and I love the cover of Alien Clay as well.

13. What books do you really need to read by the end of the year?

Oh god, I need to get back into and finish Witch King (Martha Wells), it is silly and stupid that I've just stopped in the middle. I mean I love it! It's so so good. And because I love it so much I worry I'll ruin the reading experience of it by being in a weird reading funk. (Also I feel bad because I'm (supposed to be) buddy reading it with @moriaine).

And that's all! I'll tag @moriaine, @ibringthebroccoli and @waittosparkle and hope you have the energy to do this :)

[superblysubpar]

🛼 🌻 🪐 🥐 🌵 for the ask game please!

Thank you so much for asking, these were so fun 💛

🛼 - describe your latest wip with five emojis

(I have a couple, so here's ANOTHER I'm really excited for 💛)

🕐☕️🚬📝🚙

🌻 - tag someone you appreciate but don't talk to on a daily basis

I feel like it's most people here sadly! I appreciate the community, and I admire a lot of people - inspired and motivated by them, encouraged by them. I just don't talk to most people! I have pretty awful anxiety that convinces me I'm just being annoying, or everyone hates me, so I don't reach out - I reblog and go unhinged that way, and Ive sort accepted that as my fate here haha. But I appreciate many, many people here I don't talk to daily, if at all 💛

🪐 - name three good things going on in your life right now

1. I'm writing whole ass movies - I wrote a whole ass movie. And maybe a book. Like my life is not at all where I thought I'd be at this age, or ever, and I'm really really proud of myself for taking the leap and excited for what's to come.

2. ^ I got feedback from two different contests and hearing about what real industry professionals had to say about my story, and my characters specifically, has been the most rewarding and motivating thing ever. I want to write and learn and keep going 💛

3. I've been doing a lot of house projects and I just finished re-doing a lot of things, but I think my favorite are the colors I'm switching my bedroom & bathroom to as well as my new vinyl set up 🥹 idk, my house is just feeling clean and inspiring and lovely lately.

🥐 - name one internet reference that will always make you laugh

Okay I have no idea...like a meme? What does this mean. I'm old?

I'm a sucker for vines. Quote an iconic vine at the opportune time and I am giggling no matter what. I also really love that video of the (Scottish I think? But I could be embarrassingly wrong, so correct me if I am) of the mom yelling at her kids about not flushing the toilet and saying "THAT IS DIS-GUST-ING." And my husband and I quote it daily 🤷‍♀️

🌵 - share the link to a playlist you love

Oh my gosh SO many to choose from. I think this is one of my favs. Can confirm I have bangs, I'm hot, and I listen to Kathryn Gallagher. I don't make the rules 🤷‍♀️

Oops,,, New Fantastic Beasts OC?? What if there was a ship that was magically enchanted to sail the skies and there was an adventuring crew?

I don’t have a name for him but I love him. Hufflepuff maybe? Probably an astronomer and/or cartographer and/or explorer 😌 he could use a crew👀

My #1 post of 2022

The Lineage Challenge - August 3rd to 8th

I was gonna create some content for my Arcano family but I remembered lots of other people have their own large family trees so I decided to make this a challenge! From August 3rd to 8th I’ll be doing these challenges, feel free to join me! I’ll be tagging it with #lineage challenge.

Day 1 (August 3rd): Family Crest

Draw or edit your family's crest. You can even explain the meaning behind what symbols or colors you used.

Day 2 (August 4th): Family Tree

Use websites like Familyecho or draw/edit your own to show off your entire family tree!

Day 3 (August 5th): Playlist

Create a small playlist with songs that help define the family or specific members within it. Feel free to describe why you picked each song.

Day 4 (August 6th): Character Spotlight

Create any content you wish to show off a member of the family who is overlooked, needs more development, or is the newest addition!

Day 5 (August 7th): One Shot

Write a small one shot story about any member(s) of your family or any lore the family has. If you’ve already written one in the past, feel free to reblog it.

Day 6 (August 8th): Ask Game

Answer a list of questions about your family and lore. Other people are welcome to send you some Asks to answer even more questions.

Canon or Fiction? If your family is a Canon one you made your own: What drew you to that specific family? Did you make any changes to Canon, and if so, why? If your family is completely original: Where did the Family name come from? What was your inspiration and who was the first OC you created for it?

Family Ties: What other families are related/connected to this one? Are they Canon families or creator made families? (Tag them!)

Foundations: What year and which OC was the founder of the family line? If the family goes back hundreds of years and you don’t know the first member, tell us about the oldest OC in the family you have created.

Fun Facts: Do you have any misc lore you have that you haven’t had a chance to post about? Talk about anything you like!

Free Space: Feel free to ask any creator a question not listed here and maybe you will get one in return!

also, who would you cast if you could make a new wuthering heights movie adaptation? 😻

Hello! I’ve started collecting clips I’ll see what I can do ;)

And this was SUCH a fun exercise so thank you!! First of all, I’d probably have it be a miniseries bc I don’t think you can do justice to the story in ~3 hours. And also would maybe split the generations up into 2 seasons? I would 1000% include the second gen I really don’t think you can get the full depth of Catherine’s Haunting without it. Don’t take any of these choices TOO seriously in reality I think unknowns would make for the most immersive story :*

OKAY FIRST UP: Heathcliff. Dev Patel would be my first choice bc I think he can play both boyish and solemn and he fits the book description pretty well. He’s done period pieces before and I also just love him :) The 2011 casting was already really good so I’d totally be down for James Howson Heathcliff 2. And if we wanted to stress the OMG These Are Literal Kids Getting Married & Dying aspect, I could see Amir Wilson for young Heathcliff (obviously older Heathcliff would have to be cast accordingly).

Loved Kaya Scodelario for Catherine (Sr.), I think you’d have to cast someone with very intense/memorable eyes and a bit of wickedness to her and she’s GOT IT. I could also see an Anya Taylor-Joy type if we wanted to go w the 1992 one-actress-for-both-Cathys route, she’s played cold and haughty and mischievous and innocent and she’s fairly close to how I pictured Cathy (Jr.). If we go age-accurate, we already know Dafne Keen and Amir Wilson play really well off each other and no one plays Scary Youth better than her.

Really love Mackenzie Foy for Cathy Linton, I think she could pass as Kaya Scodelario’s daughter and admittedly this was a little inspired by the (misguided) Twilight parallels.

The Lintons! I completely blanked on blondish male actors that aren’t completely jacked so apologies for that ( @julesblackthorns and I had fun imagining like. Tom Hopper Linton, fully muscled up for Umbrella Academy.) Timothée Chalamet as Linton Heathcliff started as a joke but like. Let’s be honest, he was born for the role. Kathryn Newton played Amy in the Little Women miniseries and I think she could capture Isabella Linton’s hopeless romanticism. And Edgar was SUCH a difficult choice for me, I have him down as Aaron Taylor-Johnson currently but I think Aaron might be a better fit for Lockwood. I’d want someone more bookish I think. Not sure why I didn’t once consider Joe Alwyn but honestly I could kind of see Joe Alwyn.

COULD NOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME cast Hareton. Which is a shame because he’s my favorite character :(

And then some miscellaneous/not-so-serious castings: Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Earnshaw because he’s already played Hareton Earnshaw and that was. A choice. Or Andrew “Hot Priest” Scott as Mr. Earnshaw bc if it’s a British production he Will Be There. I threw Noah Centineo Hareton out there and was told my “mind [was] so twisted.” And Josh O’Connor as Lockwood because hearing him fight w ghost Catherine would be really funny.
