#BUT HERE I AM ANYWAY

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

Granola Holmes and Begone Thotson

no such thing as over this (ch 1/16).

Read here on ao3.

Rating: M (probably actually T, but I'm covering my bases in case my outline gets away from me)

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply (but non-graphic mentions of canon violence)

Relationships: Emily Prentiss/Aaron Hotchner

Summary: A S7 fix-it in which Emily's trauma is acknowledged and Hotch doesn't want to take her for granted again. (A friends-to-lovers slow-ish burn that also deals with Emily's relationships with the rest of the team, but is decidedly Hotchniss in nature.)

After Demonized 4

Robin, talking to Amalia over the phone: Yeah, so we were thinking about going to Mexico next to see El Tajin, and- Oh, Amalia, I have to call you back. Zylas set another ice cream truck on fire. Amalia: What do you mean "another"? Robin: Well, technically, they are a danger to him. Amalia: What about the ice cream truck driver, Robin? I think he feels like he's in danger! Robin: Oh, he wasn't in the truck. Amalia: And that makes it better!? Robin: Well, yeah?

I reinstalled FEH just to finish my 6 year long INNES project. He's complete...

Yeah, and I bought FEH pass, because I'm a godless heathen.

the other day my coworker asked me if there could be anything in the sixth red rising book that would improve my (lukewarm) opinion on the series and i had to spin some shit about pacing and pov when really i would call it perfect if it served an on-page foursome

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

Loving reminder from your land history auntie:

North American golf courses have had 50-100 years of arsenic and mercury based fungicide and herbicides applied to their soils.

Do not eat anything that has been grown on a golf course or downstream from a golf course. I know it sounds cool and radical, but you are too valuable to poison yourself with heavy metals.

Protect each other, turn your local golf course into a pollinator garden, not a sex forest or community garden.

there's nothing quite like getting violently reminded you have ptsd like something small catching you off guard that's smaller than shit you wouldn't have blinked at at your worst

Just a man and his muse :)

A shameless plug for something I drew last night!

(I think I'll do a separate post for a proper Patreon update, cuz I've gotten so much support, and I've been doing a lot with it this past week and having a really good time!)
