What’s something that you want to write in 2024? 💚

A fandom you'd like to revive perhaps?

Oh I have so many projects!!

I need to get back to the WC/Forever crossover that I was supposed to finish in 2023 but have barely touched. Oops.

I have a Disney Zorro/Mask of Zorro crossover idea that I really want to tackle.

And I have a couple shorter Zorro WIPs at various stages of progress that should be posted in 2024, too.

Not with fics, but I have several gifs projects. As you know, I've started rewatched ER and will do my best to gif as I go. And in the hope to make some of my fandoms more popular, and given the cruel lack of gifs for some of them, I might have to make the gifs myself. First on the list: Upload, which is an awesome show (on Amazon) and you all need to watch it!!

Ending another chapter, 2023.

I'm turning the final pages of the year 2023, and I couldn't have been more nostalgic.

This year was nothing short of a roller coaster. From highs to lows to burnouts, I've experienced it all, so many mistakes made, so many lessons learned and yet I regret nothing.

I enjoyed this year, thoroughly. Being in my last year of high school I didn't think I'd make such good friends and establish such close bonds but I did. And suddenly going to school wasn't as scary as the thought of it all ending was. Covid fucked us all over so heavily but it also helped us reflect on who we really are, and somewhere lost in all the hassles of our daily lives was a kid wanting to live

I'm so glad I let that kid live this year, I let her breathe. Entering 2023 I was wary and scared of the changes it'd bring because let's face it, change is scary. But oh boy did that change embrace me wonderfully.

It helped me completely transform myself. I got my grades up, got acknowledged by all my teachers, started studying seriously for my college entrance exams, made friends, went on trips with them, laughed with them, cried with them, argued with them.

And suddenly 2023 didn't seem as scary as before.

So here's to another chapter that has ended, and to another one about to begin.

Thank you for treating me well 2023,

Au revoir and merci, 2023 🥀💕

A special thank you to my lifeline @kyeomyun , she's the reason I've come this far, and the reason I strive to excel and work hard each day. Thank you Jada, for letting my cry, rant, laugh and fangirl with you. Here's to another wonderful year, and here's to us. 💙

And for my beautiful and so utterly kind followers, :(( thank you sm for reading the shit I post. I couldn't have been more grateful and yall are the reason I get such ego boosts. 🤪😭😭. I mean waking up to someone spam liking or reblogging with keyboard smashes *IS* such an ego boost, is it not??! Please be happy and healthy in 2024 and continue to shine bitches.

XOXO, nyx

some of my favorite things about Anora in no particular order (SPOILERS BELOW):

the goons, wow what all timer movie goons. concussed guy for goon of the year

when anora beats the shit out of those goons for a fifteen minute stretch and they get increasingly more afraid of her. comedy gold, just pitch perfect comedy treading the line between should-i-be-worried-for-her and the disarming buffoonery of the goons

ivan's mom stomping on the last step of the private jet stairs. her incredible houndstooth suit. every second of her on screen.

all of them throwing the pens at the annulment woman

ivan's dad dying laughing during the annulment as anora throws all of the moms shit on the ground

every parking in new york joke from the ticket in front of the courthouse to getting towed down on brighton beach

how the entire time, nobody pulls out a weapon, not once. and yet, the threat of violence and danger still lingers in the periphery because of the deftly constructed tension of the roving camera and contextually what we don't know about this family and the broader scope of ivan's world and the looming threat of the parents. how far can she push the goons until they get violent, and yet they never really do, but baker never lets you exhale that breath.

when they walked into tatianas..... like sean does his RESEARCH

also the t.A.T.u needle drop like i screamed

also the fight over driving or walking for five minutes in the cold. the new york specificity in this movie is pinpoint accurate, down to the mundane

the ending, her having a breakdown release of everything that had happened to her and how humiliated she was, but also how she thought she had gotten out and made a fairytale of her life. how using her body was the only power she has ever had, and how that was what she defaulted to with Igor in that last scene, but it was when he wanted to kiss her that the facade of power broke down and so did she. how she had to face her own humanity, and in that moment ask herself if she wanted to kiss him, because he was giving her perhaps her first real choice in a long time, and that opened a pathway to maybe questioning whether she truly wanted any of what had happened to her. maybe in that moment she realized that her body is not as powerful as she perhaps convinced herself it was. she was far more powerless than all her bravado and will probably always be powerless in the socioeconomic systems of the world that are built up around her. how disposable she was made to feel maybe for the first time, and how she thought she had built up that bravado and detached arrogance around herself so that she would never feel that way, but the feeling still seeped through nonetheless. all of that delivered wordlessly, in silence, buried under the falling white snow that will throw a white, pristine blanket over everything as if nothing significant had happened at all.

but also like igor, i too would fall in love with her almost instantly and tbh i did. rip to Ivan, anora i am hopelessly in love with you, and i would die for you.

Some great insights from Zach Brown (not to be confused with McLaren's Zac Brown) on the importance of tyre management and the strategy Ferrari had planned for the first stint at the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix...

"i think the thing i've learnt and i've gained the most this year is: confidence in myself. sounds very simple... i've just always been quite the opposite kind of guy. and i've, i always find like i need to go out and prove it to myself before i wanna start believing anything, so. um, this year i learnt—yeah, i made some mistakes, and i didn't give a good enough fight to max, but, um, it was a good effort! and the one thing i've learnt from is, i have what it takes. and that's not an overconfident saying, that's a: i know i made my mistakes, i know what i'm capable of doing, and i know if i can improve on these things, it's definitely possible. so i'm excited. as much as i want this season now to end and i wanna go have a holiday... i'm also already looking forward to next year."

The heavens declare the glory of God,

and the sky shows His handiwork.

Day to day they speak,

night to night they reveal knowledge.

There is no speech, no words,

where their voice goes unheard.

Their voice has gone out to all the earth

and their words to the end of the world.

Capypril day 13 baby

the creature!!!!! rah!!!!

[daytimedrinking]

just got home from a root canal - which is still in progress, because they couldn't fully deaden my nerve, and also they split these procedures up in asia for reasons i understand but don't agree with - and i'm in pain, and still recovering from the panic attack that i had in the chair while they were drilling

and all i can think about is mccoy in city on the edge of forever, sobbing over the barbaric medical practices of the 20th century:

and even though he's not talking about dentistry specifically here, I still take comfort in how abhorrent he finds (our) modern medicine. bones would not drill into your tooth or perform any internal procedure without proper anesthesia. he would certainly check in with you throughout the procedure and stop and help you through a panic attack once he realized what was happening. and i know he would try to explain what he was doing throughout the procedure if it would help calm you. because you're not just a name on a schedule to him. bones cares deeply about his patients and only wants to heal and take pain away.

Jedi Master Thame Cerulian

I’ve been meaning to sit down and come up with a design for this guy for a while, and after starting and stopping a few times, we’re finally here. The other day I saw @revanisadumbass mention they headcanon Thame as being Jocasta’s master and that gave me the strength I needed to get back to this bc I’m sick of waiting for canon to catch up with my special interests and I’ve been headcanoning that for years lol.

Even though he started out as this mysterious guy we hear about but never meet in Jude Watson’s book, he ends up being kind of a dork in the Path of the Jedi tbh. I think he’s a perfect foil for Jocasta. Thame is a valuable resource— he’s a wealth of knowledge, he’s a highly accomplished historian, he’s a well respected scholar… but he’s also a little goofy. I think Jo having to dig through a bunch of dad jokes and puns to get to the information she needs would be very frustrating for her, and she may or may not end up learning to be more patient with him lol.

I ended up l o o s e l y basing his design off of Omar Sharif. He’s outgoing and confident, so I’m drawing him with sort of snazzy hair and fancy stache. But he’s also somewhat absentminded, so he’s got a curl out of place and 5 o’clock shadow. And for some reason, Corellian Jedi wear green robes, so that’s cool. He’s basically wearing what Corran Horn wears 🤷 anyway, that’s where this guy came from! I’ve tried really hard to get to know Thame better while drawing him over the past couple days, and I think I like him? He seems kind of fun and silly? I have to get going on Lene Kostana now 😵‍💫

A bit late, but I hope that those who celebrate Halloween had a good time! Have some goofy goobers

(I sure had fun, it's the first time I hadn't celebrated that one alone in...many years, I don't think I want to count LOL) It's been over a decade since I carved any pumpkins too, so that was fun to do again! Ofc I had to attempt a Creature hehe
