Some of you are going back and liking really old stuff. Stuff so old I forgot I wrote them! Help! I'm embarrassed! Some of those are so bad!

I say cringe is dead, and then still most of my stuff makes me want to shrivel into a raisin.

#I know it is a measure of progress #but still #aaaaaaaaah #thank you though wow #make sure to blow the dust off of them first before you read #not writing

You're my baby, say it to me...

#gundam witch from mercury #gwitch #wfm #sulemio #suletta mercury #miorine rembran #i bet on losing dogs as per gwitch current story progression aka ep17 do you see my vision...#i have particular mixed feelings on ep 17 most of which i feel that the story is done a bit sloppy i think it started around ep 16 or 15 #i really need to get this out so i could study damn it !!#first of all with miorine with the one who's losing a lot by being complicit with prospera's quiet zero significantly trapping herself furt #er in the cycle of revenge and also losing the friends she has come to cherish and also... at the same time knowing hal truths of what real #ly happened prospera true plan. vanadis. aerial and suletta true nature. earth as a spacian battleground. and the whole lot #i feel like she's rushing thru her birthday to eject sul asap from prosperas plan and now whats done is done i feel like she underestimate #what conviction on how suletta values what family means to her. prospera lines where she wonders whether sul will give aerial up #easily is giving vibes that its possible for suletta to take drastic measures to get her family back. miorine grows up on a world that #is defined by strict rules but suletta does not... that is after she's starting to get over her heartbreak i think...#whats interesting about gwitch is that although it considered utena as one of its base material it mixes said materials with how gundam sto #ryline works while simultaneously keeping up with today's themes. so honestly... when this happened today im a bit pissed #another thing that even though on a surface level suletta plays the role of utena with miorine as anthy they are also anthy and utena #respectively. suletta and utena with their kind hearted and naive self with a sense of justice left behind the insidious plot of the school #anthy and miorine titled the bride who adored their respective partner up to the point of deception and betrayal for their own good #SULETTA AND ANTHY GOD THE WITCh. red motifs. i find it funny they both have siblings okay this is messed up. the character shrouded in myst #ery. SCREAMS AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS THE CHICK WHO IS YET TO HATCHH !!!! RAHHH #insert utena student council theme somewhere around here #and lastly utena and miorine. the “princess”that is ready to take on a world that is threatening her loved one. both are only child god no.#this is my personal feelings but i will find it heartbreaking that despite everthing suletta will runs to miorine no matter how much she #push her away... but i also want and find it interesting where despite loving and believing in her suletta will slowly will ALSO despise #her for letting them drift apart kind of like anthy and utena on the akio apocalypse arc....... do i want this to happen...? do i....? >yes #regardless augh what a heartwrenching lovely episode despite me knowing it will happen at some point during the show #im like the surprised pikachu meme with tears in my eyes

it IS weird that the general consensus on twelve is that peter capaldi is an excellent actor but his episodes are bad (esp in comparison to the general consensus on series 5 being that it's some of the best the show gets) bc i am overall really enjoying series 8, a lot more than the last 3

#eleven had a bunch of episodes that were just hard to follow and thus hard (for me) to emotionally engage in #twelve is awful to people and this does deeply suck sometimes esp when it's just very unneeded #like insulting danny's intelligence or being randomly mean to courtney (what would i give for her and twelve to be given more time #and fleshed out a bit. why does he initially take her into the tardis? can we see more of that?)#but god. is mr capaldi bringing his 1000% everything to this role #those monologues ohhh yeah baby. all the episodes are leaning into the doctor feeling their age and the weight of the universe #w not much left to shield themself from that. so like. i buy it. he's just so fun to watch #and i know he gets like. progressively nicer as his era goes on so i have that to look forward to #dr who #i am being picky abt how clara is written bc im now measuring her against the standards of martha and donna #two of my fav characters in the whole show. by m*ffat standards s8 clara is blowing everybody out of the water #12 era

#not gonna do a doom spiral but for fucks sake #y'all who are actually allowed to vote had better goddamn rally around whoever the new dem candidate ends up being #and frankly hope that whoever they are they're anywhere close to as effective as biden has been #regardless of how i feel about his foreign policy (a topic on which i have rarely agreed with literally any politician)#or military spending (a topic on which my opinion is wholly STOP FUNDING ANY OF THIS SHIT but which i know no pres will ever do)#he's done an incredible amount of measurably good work within this country #especially for someone who took office immediately after that fucking guy did his level best to break everything #and anyone acting like he's not the most effective or progressive president this country ever had needs to stop mainlining propaganda #us politics

it has been an evening of highs and lows, ladies and gentlemen.

#i made progress on some of my spotify playlists! i feel accomplished.#i *did* make a hence-deleted moodboard that i quite liked.#my am*zon package came which delivered beloved dopamines #and i looked a little more into the university i want to apply to #however this whole moodboard tag and link nonsense has exhausted me beyond all measure and deprived me of any hope or happiness #THAT SOUNDS DRAMATIC I KNOWW.#but truly. how tf am i supposed to make that work.#and researching universities is draining! nerve wracking! confusing!#i know i def want to apply to [redacted] but i am so scared and feel so unprepared.#and it is late. much later than i would like it to be; and i feel i have so many things more still to do #i have made a list for tomorrow and i will strive to get it all done before work.#also in warring with t*mblr today i found a way to mass replace tags on posts. and i know there are guides out there about finding posts #with no tags etc #i would like to further reorganize the posts i have on my blogs #but that is a big endeavor and will be shelved until i get my immediate crises figured out #lindsay.text

Low word count today but I wrote 9 lines of Halone poetry and that takes a lot longer than writing prose so I think that has to count for something. :P

#word count is an incomplete measure of progress etc and so forth #if i can write more later i might but we'll see.#writing stuff #hlgd #sad elf fic progresses!#i think I'm about at the midpoint of the urianger fic #i just don't know how long the back half will end up

a home painted bright with blood and thorns - pettiot - Peaky Blinders (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Ch 1 | Ch 2 | Ch 3 | Ch 4 | Ch 5 | (COMPLETE)

After the S4-S6 election/marriage, pre-S5. Some months into Tommy and Lizzie's marriage.

This frequently absent father and husband considers that he often does his best work in extreme circumstances: time pressure, resource constraints, situational uncertainty, high stakes, and gross emotional wounding. He knows what to do, doesn't he?

No matter what sort of internal spiralling disaster cascade he's busily ignoring inside. No matter what badly considered spur of the moment decisions he makes to get through the moment that he might pay for later. No matter what—

Self.

Please remember.

If you have not hit word count this month.

Most (not all) of your writing has been second writing, which means you've been going through a lot of words, just not adding a lot of new words.

Word count is not always an indicator of progress.

You're okay.

Ah, yes, plumbers and sellers calling me for information and then immediately calling my boss not because I'm inexperienced (and in that case they would be right, as I've begun working here like two months ago) but because I'm a young woman who couldn't possibly be giving them an accurate answer

#teach says #office blogging #i have to say taking two months to witness a sexist customer is kind of an achievement #the world maybe is truly progressing #but god forbid women know anything about piping #at least sometimes #and for context it wasnt anything difficult either #the question was “hey we didnt read the instructions and installed the thing wrong. is there a way to fix this without having to redo the #entire floor?“#like lmao dummy no??????????? you should have measured twice and cut once you knucklehead!!!!!!!!!!!!#if youre a big dumb dumb thats not my problem!!!!!!!#and his answer was “oh so i picked the wrong product”#NO????????#you just said yourself you havent read the instructions and have skipped two steps because of that!!!! what are you talking about!!!!!!!!!!!#so anyway male dominated fields and whatever

There has to be a reason why Borislav Slavov made Down By the River, The Power, AND The Nightsong all very similar. And I am going to get to the bottom of this if it’s the last thing I do!!!

#I can’t help it music is my chosen profession #my first tumblr account was literally called thehumanpitchpipe #bc I was born with perfect pitch #you know what I don’t think music is my chosen profession #I literally had no choice in the matter #regardless #currently looking up different analysis videos #to see if it’s been discussed #baldurs gate 3 #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #but literally the three songs share different parts of the melody #and also similar structures #nine measures instead of eight #and don’t get me talking about the chord progression #and the key signature choices #I see you borislav

I've kinda been existing in the realm of "everyone I know is going to die, many sooner than I expect" for the past few years. Considering. Ykno. But I don't register that's not the norm most of the time. I lived 22 years of my life not experiencing proper grief, after all. Only a few people I barely knew had died. No one I was ever close with.

One of the first things my new therapist said when greeting me (after having reviewed the preliminary questionnaire I filled out) was something about how sorry she was at my unimaginable loss. And I just had a moment of like. Huh. No, it really Isn't normal to lose 6 members of my family and 2 cats in the span of 5 years. No, that isn't normal at all.

I hope I don't have to experience any more unexpected losses anytime soon. I'd like to have faith in people's permanence in my life again.

#speculation nation #negative/#kinda. ya kno.#i think my dad's death really was so very traumatic for me actually.#barely more than a day's warning. even he didnt know he was dying.#if someone can die so abruptly like that. someone who was the 2nd most important person in my life.#well. it certainly creates some doubts and fears.#in the end. im just doing my best to not join them just yet. we dont need another generation's loss in such short a time.#so im taking care of my health. going to therapy. getting new glasses. gonna get a fibro diagnosis.#finishing my degree. eating healthily (kind of). staying away from alcohol.#i need to exercise more. ill start going on bike rides again. soon.#the grief is immense and unimaginable. and i am a very different person than i was even just a year ago.#but theres something that such loss does offer: perspective.#time is not infinite. the march of death comes for us all. some sooner than others.#so im trying to do my best to live my life to the fullest. taking measures ive been avoiding for years.#ive had some hiccups. it's certainly not easy to stay positive rn.#but im trying. and ive made a lot of progress already. & thats what matters in the end.

ohyea actually the dennis and dee dynamic is SO fun to write i love them dearly

#all this time i couldve been writing about them instead of the goofyass macden fic i was agonizing over #why struggle to mend a dynamic that has slowly begun to piss you off as the seasons progress when you can just #write dumbass sibling dynamics instead #charden is good because it allows dennis to be more genuine than he gets to be with anyone else but #with dennis and dee there are layers of. cautious protective measures #if either open up too much they know that it'll come back to bite them in the ass #so drawing out the truth is like pulling teeth. they can't just talk openly about some shit that's bothering them #ada speaks #no free leverage for you its gotta be EARNED you gotta read between the lines bitch #luckily they Get each other in that sibling way so inference works

I know it’s because I ran out of meds and cvs is dithering on the refill but for some reason I’m feeling so bummed about my music making hobby this morning. It takes hours and hours (I spent like a third of a day on something yesterday not even joking or sure why it did it for that matter.) And beat making isn’t the same as sound engineering so everything I make still sounds kind of terrible. So sometimes there are days like this where it’s like “I spent a stupid amount of time on this for 4 listens and a complex about how I’m stupid to be doing this in the first place.”

#such a galaxy brained take because like #I’ve only been at this for like … 15 months?#and I’m not doing it full time #and I think objectively I have made progress #last this time last year I had no idea how to loop music other than repeating the same block of four or eight measures #I had even less of an idea how to warp vocals (even if that’s still really hard)#by December I made tracks that legitimately made people happy and worked #the fact that I can work for 8 hours means i mostly enjoy it and know so many tips and tricks at this point to make my Vision #happen #and yet im still bummed out this morning convinced it’s stupid that I do this and im too old to learn new tricks at this point #that’s probably the heart of the matter

the first chapter of boyish has me SOBBING. this is going to be my new favourite fic and i am so ready for it. their dynamic is perfect and they work so well together; complete opposites but connected and cannot get rid of each other. my loscar brainrot is beginning to brainrot a lot and i am so ready!

i really cannot wait to see what you do with this fic :)

ahh thank you!! <3 veryvery happy you like it is proving to be very special to me... maybe it is due in part to me staying up until 5 am two separate times to work on it. Well.

i can't wait to keep sharing it with you!! every scene i've written for it so far i love so much and there are some that i've done that i am just so excited to post but ik they're not coming for a bit... half of it just comes to me out of nowhere then i have to pull out my phone and write the whole scene out messy immediately. it's a whole thing. the doc i actually write on is such a mess that i made a new one to help format it for posting. cries

#ask #know that i am excited about this fic #and i will not shut up about it #and i WILL explode #i have been writing it out of order too #so my actual progress is difficult to measure #but me vs this 26k word document fr #boyish.miamis
