congrats everyone!! such an awesome time :D

July LU Write-a-Thon: 351,092 Words in One Day!

On July 1, we hosted our second monthly LU Write-a-thon (organized by @not-freyja and @hotcheetohatredwastaken and joined by their new mods @noorahqar, @a-manicured-lawn, and @winterfen). The purpose of this event was to write as many productive words—words that furthered yourself, the LU writing community at large, or your own stories—within 24 hours as humanly possible. 

We had a whopping 90+ participants as opposed to our previous 16 - none of us expected such a large turnout, and were suitably unprepared 😅 We’ll definitely be making a lot of changes to accommodate that many people during the next Write-a-Thon, occurring August 1st. Thank you all for your patience!

But, until next month, here’s the awards and titles earned by each participant, as voted upon by the Discord server through an anonymous survey. The mods read through all your hundreds of submissions (thank you guys so much!) and picked either the highest voted title or the funniest custom submission for each person, as we found appropriate. First up is the winner’s circle, then the clubs, and then everybody else in alphabetical order right below this readmore!

The Winner’s Circle (5 Most Wordiest)

20,037 “Writer of All Time” and “Most Likely to Make 1K become 100K” (As can be seen in all its glory in your Aspects AU) @tashacee: You took advantage of Freyja and Cheeto’s beefing about who would be first and snapped up the win right from under their noses. Well played! 

20,011 “Writer of Some of the Time” and “Pen and Paper (Scritch... Scratchy?)” @hotcheetohatredwastaken: Missed the mark by juuust a bit, for the second time in a row. Cheeto, you suck. (:3 –Cheeto) (Qar wrote this, for reference!). Also wrote for most of the marathon on pen and paper!

17,491 “Writer of Last Time” (for winning last month and then failing to defend their title) and “The FourShadow-er of all Time” (for the unholy amount of Chekov’s Guns they leave lying around loaded in their docs) @not-freyja: you are the most autistic about Legend. Nerd.

13,203 “Will Make You Cry” and “Captain of the Twilight Angst Tag on Ao3” @somer-writes: Boosting the Twilight economy, and we’re all happy about it. Also the second-funniest person in the server, with the second-most stars!

13,000 “AU Collector” and “Four Enjoyer” @zarvasace: Whether they're heroes with disabilities, space rangers, or vampires, if Mina wrote it, the boys will be written well.

Clubs

Now while everyone’s accomplishments as individuals were nothing to sneeze at, teamwork does in fact make the dream work. A few lovely people made a couple of equally lovely groups, either by their own choice or as assigned by peer review.

Aimed for the Funny Numbers Club

“Literally Satan” @allwayswildchild: with exactly 6666 words, you deserve every bit of this cursed title. 

“Lawn Blart Mall Cop” and “Qar's Mom in a Moment of Weakness Apparently (And Then Qar’s Sister in a Moment of Un-Weakness)” @a-manicured-lawn: The latter explains itself. Apparently, the vision of Lawn segwaying around is amusing. [Some people just can’t appreciate the beauty of a white shirt, tie, and glorious moped… ~Lawn]

“The Reincarnated” @defenestration13: Hadn't written in six months but then reappeared to write multiple thousand words. Good job.

“Multimedia Powerhouse” @passerinesoncaffeine: The art, the writing, Raven's got it all! Painting, analyzing music, commenting, whatever you touch it turns to gold.

“Dark Miette” goes to @rebornofstars: An inside joke that I don’t understand. Also thought you should know that you got [insert bee pun].

“The Memer” and “Literally Wind” @savimatteo2810: These are related.

“The Quoter” @whatvioletdoes-blog: For spending the event harvesting quotable quotes for their chat-fic.

(freyja overshot all potential funny numbers, but is a member at heart)

Most Likely to Get Fangirled (Gender Neutral) Over Club

“Literally Hyrule” @across-violet-skies: Also called the Spunky Sidekick and a calming jasmine tea type person. Hopefully your ghost pepper recovery goes well. 

“The Snippeter” @imperialkatwala: For sharing so many snippets to us hungry folk. Thank you kindly.

“Friend Shaped” @polynomialpandemic: A friend to all. Also a “Snippeter” - thank you for feeding the masses!

“Four Tormentor” @undertheopensky: For really obvious reasons. Also managed to make Freyja scream for 10 minutes with your mere presence alone!

Other Friend Groups

“Sad Wet Cat Club” @cinis0 and @lunaopus, you two seem to have nominated one another, so you get this club all to yourselves! However, I would love to know what the talk of forgetting that the Queen died was about…. (Qar has requested to be an honorary member of this club)

@awildsilver and @four-eyed-nerd, you two get to come together as “Four-Eyed-Nerd’s Rat” and “AWildSilver’s Cat,” which is I think our favorite group of all in this month’s running. I do have some additional questions for you two, however, about a mention of the bee movie as an original work (allowed as long as it’s not copy pasted and also hilarious) for you Wild and the title “Honey I shrunk the Links” for you, Four. 

The Community Support Team

“The Commentator of All Time” @1-renegade: To directly quote, “Ain't NOBODY give better feedback and comments than lawlessland.” 

“Will Make You Cry” @artsy-anontmity: Anonymity is the sweetest and kindest commenter in existence! SHE. WILL. MAKE. YOU. CRy. Writes the nicest comments and they make me (and apparently several others) cry

“The Encouragement Itself” @cat-at-a-writing-desk: For encouraging others to reach their goals. We appreciate you!

“Drill Sergeant” @gintrinsic-writing: Made Qar get 5k and scared everyone else into writing. (You did it! I got 5k! The fear (with funny intonation) dragged me over the finish line -Qar)

“Drawer of A Thousand Words” @la-sera: Ruler of the Legend and Hyrule brotherhood, inspirer of writers, and the spreader of so much love with your art this Fan Joy July with the art you spent the marathon working on. Can’t wait to see it all as the month goes on.

“The Reader of all Time” @life-in-winter: Or as you all probably know her, passerine44, the writer of the best ao3 comments of all time. Thea, you walk into a digital room and every writer there makes heart eyes at you. Cannot wait to read the writing you’ve been working on (and leave a comment) to return the favor.

“The Respondent of All Time” @silvrash-797: Silvrash had over four months of unanswered ao3 comments that she caught up with, congrats!

“Lives up to the Screen Name” @sunny-porridge: To quote: “Sunny is 100% a ray of sunshine and anyone who says otherwise can FIGHT ME” and I think we all agree.

“100% Bunny Accurate.” @toyouhellohowareyou: Who is The Bunny Lord [Beloved Pet and Bunny Boy (Legend) Himself].

“The Wildest Supporter.” @twilightangel83: Supported people and sent a lot of Wild emojis, so much so that we started picturing you as Wild!

“Poet” and “Master of the Shrimp Check” @winterfen: Writes good poetry, and also made sure that everyone was appropriately fed, hydrated, and rested for this event. 

Transfer Students

“I don’t work here, Lady” goes to bArk who neither has a tumblr nor writes for this fandom, but showed up and had fun anyways. Thanks for joining us!

“He Who Finished His Book” goes to jr_for_potus44 (not on Tumblr). Congrats!

“Split Screen” goes to @straight-outta-hobbiton for writing two fics on two screens at the same time, neither of which were LU. Frightening.

The Silent Ones

@pelicanpig, @mmelete, @wayfayrr, @raeofsky, @summaryscar @sunkissedkales: You guys came, you wrote, you did not elaborate. How mysterious your aura is (positive, deeply positive.)

"The Almost Silent One" @the-au-collector: Talked before and after, but not during the event. Probably too busy writing, or busy in general - good job either way!

Everybody else!

“Frequent Flier (WPM)” @anime-obsessed: For participating in so many sprints. Also earned “vocaloid enjoyer.”

“Keyboard Warrior” @august-the-friend: You fought autocorrect and lost 3-0, but it was a valiant fight nonetheless. You did great.

“Artist turned Writer” @aurora-boreas-borealis: Took a break from streaming to write—a huge shout out for all your hard work and your help with colors! (~the actual pigments, not the Links ~Lawn) 

“Literally Sun” @beesandhoney1219: Warmer than sunlight, sweeter than sugar, and absolutely obsessed with Sky’s girlfriend.

“Most Likely to Include Raccoons in their Fic” @bittirsweeteer: They Who Has Given Legend Espresso (thank you for your service).

“Last Minute Vidow” @deleetrix: Something that should always be encouraged. Thank you for feeding us.

“Stargiver” @emberlylion: For starring in a lot of posts, especially cat pics. Thank you for your service.

Move over Time, @estelian-01 “Will Fight Majora and Win” and then go back to studying.

“Studious Student Who (has not) Studied” @gerudoevernight: Self nominated for “Studious Student who Studied” for hitting their goal while in school. The mod team disagreed with the accuracy of that title and affectionately chose this one instead. Good job hitting your goal!

“The Outliner” @gia-d: Accidentally wrote a first draft. Also think it should be noted that everyone is convinced you either could kill a god or that you carry one around in your pocket.

“Onomatopoeia Outrage” @halo-burns: Who debated the word “ow” so hard they inflicted it on the people around them.

“The Scholar” @irenkaferalkitty: For her extensive collection of well-researched data, presented in charts, documents and yes, excel sheets. We appreciate you.

“Most Improved” @labyrinthdancer: Their writing has improved a lot since they started posting! also they write really dark twilight & the chain fics. Being a new writer is scary, but they kept at it and are doing so well!

“Writer of Most Cursed Victorian Child” aka their take on Ravio, is @lele5429 with their first ever fic, which is as gorgeous in words as your art is in ink.

“The Hype Man (gender neutral)/Moral Support” @lemoncatssss: For all the encouragement that you gave others. Also the cat photos. Especially the cat photos.

“The accidental friend acquirer” @lennsart: For somehow befriending literally every single person you talk to.

“Severe Case of Clacking” @lerikwrites: You know why. Pennies in a washing machine my friend.

“Hyrule Hurter” goes to @linkiscool33: We all have the blorbo we love to put in the blender, but no one blends Rulie like you do.

“Marcus Actually Writes!?” @marcusdoodlesalot: For a second month in a row, some of us are still befuddled that Marcus is actually a writer, and not just an artist. Hard to believe that someone can have that much talent in both fields.

“Soup Soup Soup Soup Soup (Soup Soup Soup Soup Soup)” @marsnoodlesoup: I... do not know what this means. Congrats, it seems you’re soup.

“The Veteran” @musical-chan: For sharing stories of the early days of fandom. Back in my day but the most positive way possible

“Art Fight Pre-Gaming” @nebulapaws: For their talk of Art Fight. Hope you have fun participating this month!

“Resident Audiophile” @needfantasticstories: Not just for writing with speech-to-text all day, but for your constant enthusiastic screaming about Epic the musical.

“Most likely to fight God and Win” and “The Modderrrrrr” @noorahqar: Who is actually Sky. Not with the sleepy part though. She actually wrote so much about Sky that he stole all her sleepy. Number one on the starboard, with the proud title of MVM (Most Valuable Mod) for sticking the landing as midnight hit. Also the one with “The Most Sigmas to Grindset” whatever… whatever that means. (Please help what does that mean?) 

“Picture Perfect Exhaustion” @nyastri: Their PFP (Four Doubled Over, hands on knees) combined with the announcement they'd reached their writing goal at the end of the marathon really just sold the picture for me. Well done.

“The Sleepy One” @ocha-blue: who justifiably went to bed as soon as they finished. (Hope you're recovered by now.)

“First Time Fic Writer” @peepthatbish: for breaking into the fic scene and boosting morale for our mod team, especially Lawn. We appreciate you!

“Slow And Steady (WPM)” @pokegeek151: Who was chugging away all day long.

“Doomed by the Narrative” @ra-archives: Google docs acting up, cat sitting on lap, and yet you persisted. Good job.

“My Little Friend Who I Love (This Is Qar Btw) (This Is Part Of The Title)” and “Wordsmith” @rosehipandroots: This is a direct copy paste from your submissions, Rose. Hope you enjoy it. But your amazing descriptions really make you a wordsmith. “The SkyBoy Enjoyer of All Time” @sapphicseasapphire: for your lovely art and writing of the boy!

“Task Succeeded Successfully” @screaming-but-i-have-four-swords: was an artist turned writer that tried to write words, and did! Good job.

“Artist Turned… More Artist” @seaotter-17: We were told you write descriptions like a poet, but in this event, you were most recognizable by your drawings of Nina the cat. Thank you for sharing.

If you find any typos or pronoun goofs or anyone that was put on the list twice or missing or under the wrong name or put under the wrong name or any error that comes with having different discord and tumblr names or if you were left off the list in error or if you want to request a different name than the one you received or you want to be put into or removed from one club or another or anything else that could have gone wrong—please feel free to contact @HotCheetoHatredWasTaken or @not-freyja with your concerns here on tumblr!

Academic excerpts as a framing device

So in the ask game I've been enjoying today, @piratecaptainscaptainpirates asked an interesting bonus question about the academic blurbs I've been including at the start of each chapter of From the Firmament that I started answering on that post, but things quickly go long enough to merit their own post so here it is! The question (as such) was:

(also, I was just re-reading From the Firmament and I will never be over the academic article excerpts. They're just such a neat and fun inclusion! I'd love to hear about your process while writing them, how you go about working them in with each chapter's themes, etc.)

Whatever specific idea that spawned the fic itself is now lost to the vicissitudes of ADHD memory, but it was born in the context of a lot of Thinking About Tropes in ways that were new to me at the time. In particular I was interested in a different first meeting, specifically one that involved Stede actually visiting the Queen Anne or being taken captive by the QAR crew, and Ed having to react to Stede under those circumstances.

I started playing with a draft in that vein that I'm going to come back to at some point, but the other trope I got really interested in (both as a reader of fic and also just like, intellectually) was arranged marriage. Basically every version of that I could imagine required an entirely different world than the canon one, and once I started casting about for the right circumstances I started thinking about history a lot.

The academic blurbs started as a worldbuilding crutch when I was first trying to get the fic together at the beginning, and it was easier to gather all that kind of information in a "just the facts" format when starting out. They started taking on a more concrete form when my thoughts about history intersected with 1) stuff I'd read before, 2) stuff I was reading at the time, and 3) a joke that got out away from me.

1) Two of my favorite novelists period are K.J. Parker (who I've mentioned at least once in the fic's notes) and Guy Gavriel Kay, both of whom are obsessed in their own ways with history in a way that come through in their fantasy work in interesting ways. Kay tends to straightforwardly mention in-world history and historians, without mentioning specific works but making a point to draw attention to the fact that he's speaking from outside of the characters' perspectives. Here is an example passage from Kay's Under Heaven, which is presented in its own separate section between character pov chapters:

It was said to be the case that the emperor's favourite wife, regarded by some later historians dangerously subtle and too influential, played a role in encouraging him to keep that agreement--with a view to securing Kitai's boundaries.

Meanwhile Parker, who includes the names of specific fictional works and specific fictional historians, is more likely to bring up history in the flow of the narrative, when at any time the next sentence could discuss history and/or in-world philosophy:

Saloninus, in the Exceptional Dialogues, speculates about the end of the world. Will it be a great sundering, the sky falling on the land, or a great inundation, the sea gradually rising until the last treetop is drowned, or a great fire, or—Wrong. The end of the world is like this, and a deaf man who couldn’t lipread wouldn’t even realise what had just happened.

I enjoy both of these approaches despite (or maybe because of) their differences, and when you've read as much of either author as I have this sticks with you.

2) at some point after I started playing with the idea that would become FtF and the draft of Chapter 1 coming together, I picked up Parker's Sixteen Ways to Defend A Walled City. One thing I really appreciate about both Kay and Parker is that they almost never tell their stories from the perspectives of rulers (with the occasional exceptions of rulers who began as commoners and are usually, like canon Blackbeard, some combination of bored, overwhelmed, and made miserable by their position at the top). Kay tends to alternate between a few main characters, with individual one-off outsider POV sections, while Parker tends to have several characters whose alternating perspectives cover the whole story. In either case those characters usually span the middle 3/4 of their given society, neither prince nor pauper. People who aren't starving but aren't wealthy, mid-level bureaucrats, low-ranking government officials, generals who we met as lower officers, etc. This was true of that novel, and helped me arrive where I did with Ed and Stede in my WIP's world (yes they're both high ranking, but neither is a ruler as such because that didn't interest me). I think looking at them in the canon world and realizing where I wanted to put them in the world I was building led to point #3:

3) "Wouldn't it be funny if Stede was accidentally incredibly influential?"

In some ways that question is a central question (and joke) in the show itself. Like, this guy shows up and starts doing things differently because he can't help but be who he is, and his desire for the world to be a better place then spreads beyond anyone's wildest dreams? And yeah Stede isn't the catalyst for the end of traditional piracy in the world (that's the British Empire, their culpability as represented by the death of Izzy "The Avatar of Traditional Piracy" Hands), but he is the catalyst for it on board the Revenge. And the place he was able to influence intersects with the wider world after a series of accidents and unlikely events, and even without season 3 (😢) we can see the way the world is changing now.

And how that got out of hand was I started thinking about contexts where accidentally becoming important to history would be the most unexpected (and therefore the funniest) and ended up at republican-era Rome. Something about the pomp and circumstance and veneration of it all, and then here's my favorite little guy with his inherent kindness and autistic whimsy, ready to turn everything on its head.

And from there: the blurbs just became a means to an end and the best way to draw attention to that joke. I couldn't stop imagining people talking about Stede Bonnet the way they do about Rome and laughing about it, so here we are.

As for your process questions: I tend to write them on their own, whenever a given topic seems interesting or like something that could fit into the world. The blurb in chapter one kind of just sets the stage for things, but when I first wrote it it was significantly longer and was much more about the documents cache it mentions, because at the time I was thinking about historical document preservation. Since it needed to be much shorter and kick things off I just reshaped what I had to serve my purpose. I do still have plans to incorporate the rest of it later!

The second one came from thinking about Edward "Daddy Issues" Teach's relationship with violence and how having a father who is different from canon was still going to allow violence and daddy issues to still intersect. The idea for the arrows it describes is lovingly (if shamelessly) borrowed from the Parker book I mentioned above, in an attempt to create a situation where Ed could still have (misguided) ideas about the capacity for violence being something inherent about a person.

Lastly, I'll say that while I'm not intending the opening blurbs as obvious statements of purpose for the chapters that followed, they do fulfill a worldbuilding purpose relevant to where they show up in the story. So the first one is, by necessity, an introduction, and the second one is both meant to inform and remind everyone of the bad blood that exists between the parties trying to bridge the gap between them with the marriage. I won't say yet what the third one is but I will say that I've foundered way too long working on Chapter 3 because I didn't immediately establish which one I wanted to open the chapter with. So they're important scaffolding, important worldbuilding, and in the way of worldbuilding they'll be relevant to later things when those things come up.

Thank you so much for asking this question, it was super fun and helpful to nail all of this stuff down like this and get it out of my head!

preview under the cut :3

It started with a rainstorm.

Four was the first to go down, with a sharp, biting cough that rumbled in his chest. Everyone quickly ushered him to his bedroll, insisting that the smithy should rest and recover. Wild made soup, Warriors watched the fever, and Sky played the harp to soothe him to sleep.

Hyrule was next, with a bright red nose and the deepest eyebags anyone had ever seen on the traveler. He joined Four in the bedrest corner of their camp.

After that, it took out the rest of them quickly. Legend’s voice disappeared, Wild was sweaty and flushed, Twilight had thick, wet sneezes, Wind was congested… even Time was running a fever.

The only ones unaffected were Sky and Warriors.

Naturally, the two of them took up parenting duty. Warriors would fetch buckets of water while Sky cooked simple broths (it was the only thing the Skyloftian could consistently cook). They would re-wet and cool down rags, resting them across sweaty foreheads. Bowls of broth were handed out or hand-fed to those most affected by illness.

And their work paid off! Eventually, everyone began to recover. Four’s cough became lighter and less frequent, the redness in Hyrule’s nose faded, Legend’s voice returned… all of them healed, finally overcoming the illness.

…Well, except for Sky and Warriors. They finally succumbed to the sickness that had consumed the rest of the Chain for the past week, crumbling under the stress of caring for the others.

Time wet a rag, cooling it with Legend’s ice rod. Warriors leaned into the touch, sighing miserably. “Thanks, Sprite,” he croaked, voice hoarse.

“Of course.” The eldest Link sat beside his brother. “I’ve got you.” He ran a hand through the Captain’s hair soothingly. “Get some rest.”

“Mmhmm…” Warriors mumbled, eyes fluttering shut. “...Sprite… is Wind…?” He made a move to sit up, dazed with fever.

Time shushed him, holding Warriors’ shoulder down. “Wind’s fine. You, however, need to rest.”

The Captain nodded, hazed blue eyes blinking up at Time. “...Yeah. Yeah, I’ll…” He trailed off, exhaustion pulling at his eyelids. They slipped shut, Warriors’ head falling to the side as sleep overtook him.

Time sighed, adjusting the blanket to better cover Warriors. It was shaping up to be a chilly night, and that fever of the Captain’s wasn’t going to help.

-> read the rest on ao3!

Quarantine Diary Day 8

So my mom has said I have to be super careful and boil my clothes upon return to ensure I don't bring the bed bugs home. My friends are saying, put things in plastic bags and leave them in the sun for at least a week to avoid taking any bugs home. Well, this is a bit disconcerting. I was not expecting to have to perform a decontamination process upon getting home from the hotel.

So strangely, I have tested negative thrice (preT, post1, and post2) and yet I came close to being severely sick with GI issues and now the bed bugs. I've been told the bed bugs do not carry any severe diseases. This is a comfort and a couple of hours of the burning itch is tolerable compared to a lifetime of diseases. The inability to sleep gave me an in-depth opportunity to think about God, the meaning of life, why is there any bad in the world, and other things.

Before I share my 2:00 am insights, let me do a quick reality check.

For about $105 per night, I am getting to stay on the 8th floor of a 4-star hotel, otherwise, in a nice area (if I could go and walk around, which I can't), walking distance from the museum and Souq Waqif. And in this price, they have included 3 meals (some are amazing like the grilled chicken, but some like this morning's garbanzos in a sauce I would not feed to humans due to the smell) and ground transportation in what felt like a clean luxury car. So you have to really weigh it out. In both the U.S. and Canada I don't think you can get 3 meals across 10 nights with airport transportation for $105/night. Of course, I think in Thailand you can because they have been packaging, hotel, transport, and tourism services in economical bundles for a long time now and they are just great at it. As others would say, if I wanted better (service/food/fewer bugs) I should have paid more. The psychology was hard though because it was a forced stay when I am not sick. I cannot say it was a zero chance of me having the disease, but a high probability since I restricted my social engagements and outings, I am vaccinated and my vaccine is 95% effective.

From what I remember during the special briefing with the infectious disease doctor working with Covid, 98% of cases show themselves within the first 4 days. If you do not have it within the first 4 days, the likelihood is extremely low that you will be sick.

I fear the decisions for a 10 day 6 country quarantine are emotional and not based on actual science. If you look purely at the numbers there is absolutely no reason to panic or lockdown travelers from six countries, especially if they have been vaccinated.

So then what is the perfect policy?

1) You test pre-travel. Regardless of whether you are positive or negative, you are allowed to return to your country of residence/citizenship/birth. You put down a $1,000 deposit prior to traveling IF you are positive. If you are positive then you must stay in the hotel for 5-10 days. If upon return you are positive via fast test at landing you are driven to the hotel and you stay there. You can be tested daily at the hotel. If you are negative for two consecutive tests, then you may leave the hotel and complete 5 days of quarantine at home. If you are positive you stay for the full 10 days.

2) If you are negative, pre-travel, you MUST quarantine for 5-7 days at home. During the first 5 days, you are tested twice. If you test negative during the first 5 days you can leave the house on the 7th day. If you test positive during the first 5 days, complete the home quarantine for 10 days. You can do daily check-ins by uploading a picture of yourself to Ehteraz by your blue address plate OR in some location in your house that can be verified if needed.

This is a more reasonable and closer to just policy than everyone paying for a 10-day hotel stay. Boosting the hotel industry via forced stays is not really good for anyone. I can say this with the confidence of a Masters's Degree in Emergency and Disaster Management.

As far as the 2:00 am insights into life. Well God is constantly giving us chances. If He was to punish us for every little mistake we made, well I'd say there might be a couple of humans left if at all. So the fact that we can make mistakes, regret them in our hearts and make amends are all are part of the mercy from the Almighty, His kindness in being loving and generous towards humans. Otherwise, it would be too easy for Him to simply wipe us out and say next.

Some fuzzy logic. Friends are advising me to change rooms. So I am not doing it for the simple reason that across 7 nights I was stung by one bug 5 times during a single night. I have traveled enough, I remember the Nefrititi Sheraton to this day and the lesson is that 1 bug is way better than many. And I know now and am being somewhat cautious. So close to the end of my personal lockdown, I do not want to take a chance with getting a room with more bugs, more sewage or cigarette smells, appliances that may not work, or new problems. I have never been a fan of this perspective on life, but today I am taking it, better the devil you know than the one you don't.

Future stays: bring insect repellent and bug spray. Live and learn.

Afternoon supplemental. 12:41

I received today's lunch of aloo gobhi and I have to say it is brutally spicy. I just had a few spoons full. I think the chef is trying to kill the residents of this hotel. I've not ever had food this spicy It feels like the cook dumped kilograms of red chillin' into the curry where milligrams would have done the trick. thanks, dude. I'll just stick to the fruits. Really stomach upsetting stuff.

[chaoticookie-autonomous]

never in my life did i think i would find a story more relevant to my interests 🙈 a bisexual OC darth maul slowburn story with gay friends? the twist as the end of part 1? *chefs kiss*

i caught up in like the last 3 days of literally nonstop reading and i can’t wait for more!!!! quickly and easily one of the best things i’ve ever read ❤️

So like... Funny story about Móni's sexuality. I actually had no idea she was bisexual until I got to the chapter we are first introduced to Ravi. When I typed out the words "I loved you" I was like:

Hm. Ok. Okay... OH HELL YEAH!!

Made absolute, perfect sense.

It wasn't until very recently I realized most of her friends are in fact gay xD since I mainly pair my characters based on compatibility. For example, initially I had considered Shysha x Kyp, but was kinda like... She's too mean and more of that overbearing sister type who means well. Then looked to Qar-Tan and went 👀👀 yes. He's good for Kyp.

And Myn x Avin is... Complicated. Avin having lost someone he loved unconditionally, Myn isn't overstepping his boundaries but he does care for him. I believe he's also bisexual. Haven't written much of his character to confirm this, but most likely.

But. Yes. Gay Mandos ftw 🏳️🌈

I'm so glad you're enjoying Autonomous!! And thank you so much for this lovely ask and loving my OCs 😭😭 Fills my heart with joy.

Much love ❤️❤️

Being Alone, Andrew Bogut, and Animals: A SHY, TIMID, WALLFLOWER FROM AN UNSTABLE HOME DREAMS OF A FAMILY WHO CAN GIVE HER THE QUIET, CALM, RESPECTFUL & LOVING HOME WHERE SHE CAN FIND HAPPINESS& A ROUTINE SHE CAN COUNT ON CALI ID 48472, @ 3 YRS., 47 LBS OF LOVE, SPAYED &WAITING WITH HOPE, AT THE MANHATTAN ACC TO BE KILLED – 12/21/2018 She’s a shy, timid wallflower, a girl that truly needed a quiet, calm home with a routine she could count on. Instead, it seems her parent argued a lot with her boyfriend, causing this sensitive soul to become anxious. She just wanted everyone to be nice, to be friendly, to be kind. But she never got her wish. Instead, she got a trip to the shelter where she now sits, trying to get her head around her life, and how the heck she ever got here. It was not her fault, it was her parent, but how do you tell her that? As a staff member writes: “Sometimes people and/or animals come into your life for a reason. Cali was brought into our care and I knew from the moment I saw her, that we were going to be buddies. She didn't know this at first. She avoided any interaction with me until I offered her some cold cuts, then she knew. She knew that if she wanted to get out of her kennel that I would be there; she knew that if she wanted some company, to seek me, and if she just wanted some fresh air but otherwise be left alone, I can do that too. She needed me through this part of her journey to help her adjust to a new life, now she needs you to help her get through to the next.” Poor Cali needs a quiet, structured home where she can feel safe and then warm at her own pace. If you can give her a soft place to land, hurry and Message or page or email us at MustLoveDogsNYC@gmail.com for assistance fostering or adopting her. Let’s show this shy, shaken wallflower what it means to be truly loved. CALI, ID# 48472, @ 3 Yrs. Old, 57.1 lbs. Manhattan ACC, Large Mixed Breed, Gray / White, Spayed Female I came to the shelter as a Stray, 11/30/2018 Shelter Assessment Rating: New Hope Rescue Only Intake Behavior Rating: 1. Green AT RISK MEMO: Cali is at risk for behavior, Due to Cali's bite history and low threshold for arousal, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification. There are no medical concerns for Cali at this time. SHELTER ASSESSMENT – DATE OF ASSESSMENT: 12/20/2018 Summary: Cali has displayed a low threshold for arousal at the care center, jumping up and quickly grabbing handler's clothing. For this reason, she is not a good candidate for a handling assessment. MEDICAL BEHAVIOR - Date of initial:: 12/2/2018, Summary:: Tense, trembling. ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Cali so we cannot be certain of her behavior in a home environment. However, she is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep her engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct her energy and enthusiasm. OWNER NOTE – BITE HISTORY: Cali bit her owner when the owner and her boyfriend were arguing. The bite was to the owner's elbow and tricep and broke skin. IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: Cali has been fearful in the Care Center. Initially, she would avoid the leash and growl. However, after patience and some turkey, Cali began to open up and is now removed more easily from the kennel. She is anxious outside the kennel, seeking exit, but will allow brief petting and tolerant of touch. BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: NEW HOPE ONLY Behavior Asilomar: TM - Treatable-Manageable Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to Cali's bite history and low threshold for arousal, we recommend an adult only home. Place with a New Hope partner: Due to Cali's bite history and low threshold for arousal, we recommend placement with a New Hope partner who can provide any necessary behavior modification (force-free, positive reinforcement-based) and re-evaluate behavior in a stable home environment before placement into a permanent home. Potential challenges: : Fearful/potential for defensive aggression,Low threshold for arousal Potential challenges comments:: Low threshold for arousal: Cali displays a low threshold for arousal at the care center, jumping up and grabbing people's clothing. This has the potential to tip into aggression. Guidance from a positive reinforcement trainer/behaviorist is strongly recommended. Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Cali has displayed fearful behavior at the care center and bit her owner during a fight her owner was in. Guidance from a professional trainer/behaviorist is recommended to assess behavior after decompression in a new home environment. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing or exposing Sasha to new and unfamiliar situations.

It starts with one grinning gentleman, one yellow ball, and one trip to East Harlem. And it ends with you madly in love. "You just have to meet Thomas!" a fellow volunteer gushed. And boy, was she right on the money. From the moment I spot this 6 year-old sweetheart wagging happily in his kennel, it's like a light bulb goes off in the hole in my heart. And suddenly it's full. But as much as Thomas enjoys my company, it's that yellow ball that's truly the apple of his eye. Stop, drop, roll, catch, fetch, throw! Thomas is game for any and all of it, and will play happily for hours on end. He also happens to enjoy his treats, something he could use much more of to fill out his too-thin frame. And though 6 years-old may sound like middle age to you, that's news to Thomas! He is more spry and silly than the youngest spring chicken, with the most youthful mind and spirit. Thomas is a very energetic boy who'd do best with an experienced and active family--one with plenty of balls and love. He has a tendency to be a bit grabby with his treats and can also be hand-shy, so a home without tiny fingers or toys might also be best for now. Have I got a bright idea, genius really, and it all starts with one grinning gentleman. So come to East Harlem, don't forget the ball! And get ready to light up your life.

If it does occur, guidance from a professional trainer/behaviorist is recommended to assess behavior after decompression in a new home environment. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing or exposing Thomas Edison to new and unfamiliar situations. * TO FOSTER OR ADOPT * If you would like to adopt a dog on our “To Be Killed” list, and you CAN get to the shelter in person to complete the adoption process *within 48 hours of reserve*, you can reserve the dog online until noon on the day they are scheduled to die.
