ill never think about march without thinking about march 2020. whether its 2024 or 300 years down the line like what was That

Ok actually re: Dark in Here discussion, it genuinely is such an incredible album, and it speaks so exactly to that early 2020 feeling. The absolute isolation and loneliness of it all is so profound that I can never quite believe that it was written and recorded before lockdown started. And it's so musically interesting, too - it goes places that I don't think much, if any, other tMG work does! The breakdown at the end of Lizard Suit is one of my favorite things ever, but you also have songs like Slow Parts and To the Headless Horsemen that are so even and measured that it's almost eerie. It's such a great album that really really does not get enough love!

Evan 'Buck' Buckley: Life So Far

So, I used my 9-1-1 timeline to make a timeline of Buck's life so far!

Please know that I may be a month or two out in some situations - I had to make some assumptions here and there and the 9-1-1 timeline is also just.. interesting at times (lmao). If you have any questions feel free to ask!

(Also sorry if I missed anything/made any mistakes, I tried to include everything and have checked it over many times but I know that as soon as I post it, I’m bound to notice something I did wrong rip)

do you think if enough of us promised to become vegetarians we could get paul to admit to something

[azaisya]

This was fully just me experimenting w brushes bc I've had procreate for months and have just been using the same three.

(this is my oc finnelyn and he got some mildly bad news and promptly spent the next month Wandering Around And Projecting Sadness instead of doing anything productive about it)

Same anon about jay/louis i honestly always felt like jay wanted the fame more, because like you said she was always making her kids audition and be in things. She let Lottie drop out and travel with 1D

I read Lottie's book and she had no choice but to drop out of school after her GCSEs because she didn't get the grades needed to go into the sixth form with her friends!

teary rambling inbound

christ alive its not often i reckon with the fact that jump (the first fic of my “modern” writing era) is approaching seven (7!!!!!) years old. when i do think about it it’s often in a nostalgic way or a half-proud, half-self-deprecating way where i’m like “this was my peak when i was 17, god DAMN have i improved” because as much love as i hold for it and what it ended up as, it’s still nowhere near perfect! there’s so much i would do differently with my slightly more developed brain!!

but i get comments still on a more or less weekly basis almost 7 years after publishing, over 6 years since i last touched it. little ‘i just read this in one sitting!’ and ‘this brought me back into enjoying deh again’ and ‘i usually get bored during long fics but i wanted to finish this!’ that i have saved in their own special portion of my inbox specifically for jump comments because they all make my day every single time.

and then sometimes i get comments like these, all these years later, and i pump the breaks and just think.

unless i’m particularly out of touch this is like. the type of comments fic writers dream of. thoughtful, personal, crafted with a level of care that highlights how genuinely an author (even of just ‘silly’ musical fanfic) can move a person.

someone who never writes reviews was compelled to detail how deeply they’ve been impacted by *my* writing. something i crafted as a labor of love while i was still a teenager struggling through that same shit i was writing about had enough of a positive effect on someone that it spurred them to put as much into writing themselves, unsure if i’d ever even see it. this person walked away from something i created with the exact takeaways i hoped they would, and i very sincerely hope that whatever realizations this person had while reading, they take them and make their lives better because there’s nothing more i could possibly ask for.

jump, as much as a bit of an ugly duckling i think of it as sometimes, is like…a net good on the world. so many of my current best friends i met because i wrote jump. more than one person has embraced recovery and getting better and stepping into the sun (hah!), and that’s just people who have told me that — some of the mostly deeply influential fics in my life are ones i’ve never commented on myself. more people than i can ever hope to comprehend have had their day, week, month, life outlook altered in a positive way by something i created — by me.

in a period of life (not just my own, but more broadly speaking How Life Is in the present day, 2024) where things are pretty shitty and i’m agonizing more than ever over feeling useless and impactless and like i’ll never create anything of true value. sometimes i wake up to comments like these, and i slow my roll, and i can…genuinely appreciate that at the very least, despite everything else sucking pretty bad, people have made their own happiness through something i’ve created. i’ve made something of value, and even if i never know the impacts of that…those people are out there. if i could do it at 17 years, and still hear the positive influence of doing so 7 years later, i can do it again. i want to do it again. writing is making my happiness, and knowing that that could be true of other people makes it a happiness worth pursuing.

all of that to say: thank you, if you’ve ever read my silly stories before. if they’ve done something positive in your life, even for just a second, that means more to me than anything. and especially thank you to my more vocal readers because quite literally it’s people like the above comment, and people who i’m sure are reading this and know exactly who they are, who make me love writing as much as i do and make me want to do it forever, no matter the capacity.

i suppose i should wrap up now before my weepiness makes everyones tl all damp. thank you again, persephonescurse (even if you’ll never see this). your comment now also forever lives in the original jump discord server from 2017, so i won’t be forgetting it anytime soon. thank you.
