#I'm only 13 chapters in

Does not make sense in my brain that Feyre doesn't know how to read or pronounce a bunch of different words and the book is written in fairly descriptive first person perspective.
Sounds a tad elitist, but congnitive dissonance is all it is. I understand that just because I can say the word "position" doesn't mean I can attach the sounds to the letters of the word when I read it on a page. But it's weird to be reading words like "crimson" from her perspective when she probably couldn't read it off a page herself. Also, she's lived in poverty for so long; does she realistically know a lot of the words she uses in her perspective? This comes up in the same chapter. "I searched for the word in the half-forgotten part of my mind. Mural. That's what it was (114)." But she's got no trouble meandering through the labyrinths of books both in front of her and on the mezzanine dangling above. Seems like Maas picks and chooses when Feyre does and doesn't know words she may (or may not) have heard and/or known in her small time as a wealthy kid. And "meandering" is a word you pick up almost exclusively by reading!! Who SAYS that in common speech??
It's just an aspect of Feyre's character that makes me think it'd be better if this was written in third person pov. Anyhoo. I keep writing this to avoid reading. Back to trucking through.
#I'm struggling to read this lol#I keep nitpicking every time I open it#I'm only 13 chapters in#a c o t a r#I'm spacing it out cuz I don't want the hate lol#but if anyone else is like me and hasn't read this whole series seventeen times and owns thirteen million editions of each book#I'm read a court of thorns and roses by sara j maas#reading* lol#I just don't believe feyre as a character#or any of them really#the story is compelling but the characters are caricatures of their archetypes#nesta being as shamelessly cruel makes almost no sense (I'd say none but i have my own sister who is...... not the kindest 98% of the time)#(even then she's not like nesta lol)#and elain being so genuinely aloof is absolutely ridiculous#she's gotta be faking as a coping mechanism#right?#anyway. these characters feel less than two dimensional.#but I'm reading this cuz my sig fig got it for me as a gift#and i love him#so I'm trying to make it through

#bleach#mangacap#yumichika ayasegawa#volume 13#chapter 112. The Undead 2 (Rise & Rage)#pg. 105#weird scene to me because yumichika seems to have to concentrate to sense the spiritual pressures where ikkaku doesn't#when i'm pretty sure later yumi is better at sensing it?#but could literally be he's only just got there

Carcar is ruining my life.
I have this girl!Oscar plot idea for You'd be standing in my garage light, and everything I could think of is turning it into a Carcar. To be clear, I'm very doubtful about You'd be standing in my garage light (Landoscar - girl! Oscar) because I'm very disappointed about the chapter that I wrote and I think it misses some spice (guess it's kinda chilli spice now).
I know some of you read it and I want your opinion.
So here it is, some elements for the Carcar :
It's a rivals to rivals with benefits to we're both catching feeling and we're miserable about to secret lovers to lovers.
Lando being obvious.
Lando is a man on a quest : convince his teammate and grid best friend to be friend.
Radio beef / Race beef / "he's blind" / "did she learns something in her rookie year, or what?"
"Fine, but I only do it because of Lando."
Landoscar twinning.
Oscar being the chillest person in the world except when it comes to Carlos.
Basically Oscar being Oscar
Oscar being a pr nightmare but in a funny way like : "Whaouh the FIA fighting patriarchy with tee-shirt? I'm wondering why nobody think about it before."
Lestappen acting as a platonic married couple.
Lestappen knowing there is a girl in Carlos life and acting as wingmans.
Silly season.
Real fight for the championship.
Carlos "What are you going to do? Fired me? You already done that" Sainz.
"You look like Eric in the little mermaid but not as a compliment".
Ollie Bearman is adopted by the grid.
Prema guys (Logan / Arthur / Robert / Fred) .
Fernando has seen this film before...
Oscar involved in the F1 Academy + the F1 Academy girl.
What it could be like to be the only girl on the grid.
1989 strike is back except it's just George who want to hijack a bus.
"I'm not going to sacrifice my career for you. If we doing this and we got caught, I'll throw you under a bus." (not the same)
If I write the Carcar I'll have to delete You'd be standing in my garage light. Also if I write the Carcar, we're going from teen and up audiance to explicit.
Feel free to go on my ask or message box.
I just don't know what to do 🤷♀️
#What do you prefer spice or fluff?#I know how to write both but only one will survive the Great war#I can do angst also but no#not this time#Carcar vs. Landoscar#The worst part is that it slowly turning me into supporting Carlos#It just took 9 year I guess#I'm very sarcastic about it#Cause what the hell#I don't dislike Carlos but I'm not a huge fan#My father will hear about this#When your tagging part is slowly turning into a inner conversation with yourself...#Yeah that's why I'm late for chapter 13 of is it over now#Carcar#db fic

Pete: Shameful.
Helena: Say another word, Peter.
Pete: I have four for you: Full. Of. Shame. Wait...
Helena: Everyday he finds new and exciting ways to annoy me.
Myka: I told you to think long and hard about it before you ever came back.
Helena: Let's just say I had my reason and leave it at that.
Pete, laughing: Long and hard.
Claudia: Can we not encourage him so early in the morning. I'd like to be able to keep my breakfast down today.
Pete: H.G. is the one who keeps setting her room on fire, like we don't already know she never sleeps in there anyway.
Myka: Whatever you think you know, you don't.
Pete: Mykes, even if the walls weren't as thin as they are, you have broken the Univille noise ordinance every single night since that woman has been back.
Abigail appears.
Myka: I swear to god, Pete.
Steve: Every single night.
Claudia: The walls are so very thin.
Abigail: And the warehouse echoes.
Abigail pats Myka's and Helena's heads, then reaches for a bagel.
Myka: Abigail!
Abigail: What? I thought we were sharing.
Myka: Helena?
Helena: I take it as quite the compliment, actually.
Helena proudly sips her coffee.
Myka: Oh my god. Goodbye to all of you and especially you, person who is definitely not sleeping in my room tonight.
Myka leaves, glaring at Helena.
Helena: What did I do?
Abigail sits in Myka's chair.
Pete: Think you burned your room down a little too soon this time.
Abigail: Nonsense. She just did it for the chase.
Everyone looks at Helena.
Abigail: Are you not going to chase her?
Helena: As though I am some desperate scoundrel who so longs for intimacy that I'd allow myself to be lured in by acts of emotional manipulation?
Claudia: Right, no. Of course not. You? Hah!
Steve: That's definitely not a lie. Sarcasm font.
Claudia: Don't say sarcasm font.
Steve: Why not? It's funny.
Claudia: We all know it's sarcasm.
Abigail: Your loss, boss.
Pete: Shameful.
Everyone goes back to what they were doing.
Helena taps her fingers against the wood of the table nervously.
Helena: For the record.
Helena stands.
Helena: I dislike all of you.
Helena leaves.
Steve: She was definitely not lying that time.
Claudia: Ah, she'll get over it as soon as she sees Myka's gorgeous greens.
Abigail: If anybody's curious to know, the floor here is also thin.
Pete: Swabs in, ma'boys.
Everyone reaches into their pockets and pulls out ear buds, ear plugs and cotton swabs. Shoves those into their ears. And returns to their breakfast.
Their newspapers.
Their minding of ones own business.
#bering and wells#warehouse 13#dickens draws#i need to spend less time doom scrolling on twitter#also more time getting my little stress relieving hobbies in order because wooooooo boy the stress is really stressin ya friend#in good news i've written two chapters of ages and only have one left before i can finally move on to the next era of ages#i had to get iron infusions because of my severely low iron and i'm saying that's helping my brain BRAIN but i'm not saying it's not helpin#still waiting to get my car back though#rip skelena

watching the alpines qualify dead last... my immediate thought was "oh it's going to be sympathy kisses+ for Pierre all season long in the your lips, my lips (apocalypse) universe" 💀
oh my gosh, HI 🤭😍 well this ask made me grin far too fondly down at my phone screen... it just means SO much that people are still thinking of this fic universe even though it hasn't been updated in forever. 🥺 i am really SO touched!
and i also agree COMPLETELY! sympathy kisses all night long, for sure... perhaps even a sympathy blowjob or two... or even (since charles has once again reminded us that he's not sensitive to bottoming) a sympathy fuck 😏 but whatever the case might be, you can bet your ass that they'll definitely be in each other's beds in the 2023 kisses fic 'verse <3333 😘
#asks & answers#🖥 emotionlessotherwiseobsessive#📝 WIPs tag#wip: 2023 kisses#aaaaahhhh this fic 🥺🙈🥰#every time someone says something lovely like this; i get inspired to try and pick it up again and finally finish it#because like#what WOULD they do in bahrain 2024?#where would they be? will they FINALLY have figured out their feelings and be living happy ever after?#or will they still be stupid?#see; *i* know the answer; because believe it or not that fic has 13 more chapters fully plotted out#yes. THIRTEEN. i'm insane i know#but the point is; there's an entire plotline and a VERY fun arc upcoming (if only i can remember how to write 🙈)#BUT THINGS LIKE THIS MAKE ME WANT TO THINK OF A SEQUEL#and it's like#wtf katherine you can't be thinking of a sequel when the original isn't even finished yet!!#AND YET#what if there *is* a little sequel... just a one-shot... about them in bahrain 2024...#being gossip girls all weekend long... and then that silly failed fist bump/hand grab thing... and THEN the post-quali kissies...#what if what if what if#aaaaahhhh xD#anyways. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ASK!! you have set my brain on fire a little bit (but in the best way 🥰❤️)

#Alright I got tragically interrupted while watching it but I'm finally finished watching the episode!!#It's really really good both the animation and drawings are very detailed compared to the rest of the anime but...#The pace is so off :((( Like it's not the end of the world but ugh. It's unfortunate...#So many things just don't hit off as deeply because everything is moving so fast all the time and there's no time to process anything.#They won't allow you one second for the last line of a scene to sink in that the next scene's ost is already playing.#And like it's not even the worst crime an anime can commit I guess but still...#I wish they didn't. Like rather than make a 13 episodes season and squeeze the Sky Casino arc in merely two episodes it would have been–#a lot better to finish the season at the previous episode and make 12 episodes out of everything (so that everything could be better paced)#Like yeah maybe it's not the best season ending that there can be but... It's not terrible either‚ you have Atsushi saying the line–#“there's still hope” and the season ending there‚ that's pretty cool#I don't know why everyone feels like they have to rush all the time.#Guys do I have to be the one to remind you you make more money if more season come out.#Like how can the knowledge of Sigma being made by the book have any kind of impact when we've only known him for ten minutes.#Teruko's looking mad AND looking cutesy AND blowing up the landing zone didn't have the same comedic effect they did in the manga because..#It just happened all together! There's no time to process anything. Or maybe I'm just slow idk but I mean YOU GOTTA–#MAKE TIME FOR THE OPENING AND ENDING IN THE EPISODE c'mon man#Sorry I'm complaining it's actually good. I really really love Teruko & Tachihara. Jouno too!!!#I liked the Tahihara spotlight this episode... It's so cute to see what he's like when he's not acting– well‚ not completely I guess#Mmmmhhh.#Yesterday I read an interesting post on how a lot of early dc/mk wouldn't work today because the technology of the world has changed SO muc#I think a similar reflection can be made for the doa terrorist plot. Countries are pushing towards a complete digital money transition.#In 50 years or so coins may not be circulating anymore and today already the impact of this terrorist plot would be a lot smaller–#compared to when the chapters were coming out. I think#Well. Nice episode! Forward to next week! If tomorrow's manga chapter hasn't killed me before that#random rambles

does bones realize there's still supposed to be one more episode in s5 after this week's or should someone remind them
#bsd s5#ch110 was only 13 pages long and they've been cramming 3-4 chapters in each episode this season#anyway maybe unpopular opinion idk i'm not deep in the fandom but#i'd rather get the next new part of the story from the actual manga rather than finding out what happens in ch111 from the anime#bc the manga is just Better#tho admittedly as someone who was familiar with b.bc s.herlock back in 2013-14#i DO think it would be really funny to end s5 with ch110 and then radio silence for the next 2 years#but i also think after everything in s5 we deserve like. another season of wan! or something#let me see my blorbos having silly fun times again please PLEASE#hello grace here

events and shenanigans transpiring so that i'm going to my first ever pride event next weekend...something lgbt finally happening to me at long last !!
#:)#been struggling to arrange a time/date to meet up with my friend from uni#and we were supposed to do this week alongside my phd meeting#but the phd meeting got cancelled since i am now on an enforced summer break#and then the bulk of this week's weekdays consist of me having to house sit#so the only available time is this weekend and turns out she's going to the city's pride event this saturday and i got invited along#might affect my projects might not. i have 2-3 days completely uninterrupted to myself so i'm hoping to power through the writeup then#worst case is that i don't actually start reading umineko chapter 13 until monday instead of sunday but this is a worthwhile excuse

seeing people leave kudos and stuff on this One Fic i have up on ao3 consistently leaves me feeling like that one two truths one lie video that goes nooo that'd be soooo embarrassing don't do that no seriously don't. don't do that :(
#.docx#knowing complaints have been thrown regarding chapter 13. save urselves don't read it#i'm only keeping it up bc of the nice comments and also it's the first multichap i've ever finished#so it has sentimental value. it's like the mona lisa in that i can't fix her but i'll put her up for display for the cultural value#but unlike the mona lisa i feel bad that you have to look at her like that
