Living Your Best Writing Conference
In a fit of enthusiasm last fall, I registered for a big, well-regarded writing conference, the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP), But as the time to head out to Kansas City drew near, I found myself more and more second-guessing the decision; my cold feet had nothing to do with the conference offerings and everything to do with my interior emotional landscape. I reflect on all…

Notes On Progress
Ghost!Steve Harrington x Witch!Reader
Series Masterlist
500 words
“Can I hear them?”
Steve’s been watching over your shoulder as you type up a review of a band from upstate. Reading along as the black ink stamps into the paper with each clack of your typewriter.
You wondered how he didn’t get bored. Surely, you were one of the least interesting witches in the coven to follow around day-to-day. You weren’t used to entertaining, and you rarely practised witchcraft outside of your daily rituals – although he’d watch that intently too, asking about all the different ingredients you’d steep in your tea and why continuously getting the Ace of Cups card in your tarot spread was bothering you.
But he was still here, and you were still wary of why that was – both spiritually and physically – why you?
“Uh, sure.” You click your Walkman, taking out the cassette when it pops up and move over to your stereo. You watch as Steve reads over what you’d written again while the first track fills the room, his tongue digging into his lower lip in concentration.
“That’s good. What you’ve written is like, what it sounds like.” He winces at his inability to articulate, but you get what he means. The compliment makes your shoulders hunch.
“Thanks.”
A knock at the front door of your cottage pulls you away, and you ignore the tingling in your arm as you pass the ghost.
“Hey.” Your fellow coven member Kelsey smiles at your appearance, holding out a thick A4 piece of paper towards you, “Essie made this painting for you, but she was too shy to show you so I volunteered to bring it ov–“ she stops talking when she notices something over your shoulder, then leans in to whisper, “You have a ghost?”
You follow her line of sight to Steve who smiles at the both of you, offering a wave from where he’s standing further in the house.
“Wait, you can see him too?” You turn back to Kelsey who nods, eyes still trained on him. “Huh, I guess he really isn’t here because of me then. He kind of just popped up a few days ago. Would he have anything to do with you?”
She shakes her head, frowning at the way Steve is staring at you like you invented tight, dark-wash jeans.
“Fuck, well if you hear of anyone missing a spirit let me know.” You look down at the colourful portrait she handed you, “And tell Essie thanks. It’s beautiful as always.”
“Will do.” She turns away slowly and you hear her release a deep sigh as you close the door.
Steve follows you as you walk into the kitchen, admiring the portrait of you with crossed arms as you stick it onto the fridge.
“Pretty.” He mutters.
“I know, she’s so talented.”
He rubs the back of his neck before taking a step closer, chest almost close to touching your back if it were possible. “I didn’t really mean the art.”
You turn your head to see a shy smirk on his face, eyes transfixed on you. You roll your eyes, trying to hide the heat creeping into your skin. Who the hell flirts this much when they’re dead? You’re not even used to the alive ones doing it to you.
You shake your head, trying to rid yourself of his spell if you can’t his spirit, and move back to your typewriter.
Steve settles back into his place over your shoulder, nodding along to the music as the words flow from your handwritten notes to the page in front of you.

The Joys of Saturn: Why Aging Is Easier for Saturn and Capricorn People
There’s this saying in astrology that Saturn and Capricorn age in reverse. People born under the influence of these archetypes are born serious, and they learn playfulness and joy as they get older. I think it’s because they spend their youth learning about limits. By the time they’re old, they’ve learned to dance between the lines.
People born under the influence of Saturn and Capricorn are here for Saturn school, and Saturn school is all about boundaries. Your boundaries. Other people’s boundaries.. How to respect your own boundaries, even when others don’t. How to keep other people’s lack of boundaries from pushing you over your limits.
Saturn school is full of hard lessons. I have Saturn opposite the sun, and these are lessons I know well.
In Kindergarten, it became apparent that I had a physical disability that kept me from running around and playing with the other kids. There wasn’t a name for my disability at the time, but it’s since been recognized as one of the sub-types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I experienced a lot of pain growing up with EDS. My body ached. I was diagnosed with arthritis as a teenager. I struggled to walk, so I spent many gym classes and recesses sitting on the sidelines.
For most kids, I think that growing up with EDS would have been torture, but I was a child of Saturn. My parents said I was born three years old, and adults often said I was “wise beyond my years.” I wanted nothing more than to be grown up, so I learned at an early age that if I listened quietly, adults would feel sorry for me, and I could sneak a seat at the adults table.
There were many years of frustration, waiting for the grownups to take me seriously, but I’ve spent almost 4 decades in Saturn school, and I’m finally starting to see the benefits.
Saturnine people shine in middle age and beyond. Aging is much easier for us. Because we are already so used to dealing with limitations, we tend to approach the limitations that come with aging with a sigh and a few adjustments. Astrologer and tarot reader Psyren calls this “Saturn’s promise.” She says that Saturn is tough on you when you’re young, but Saturn will “make sure your heart and looks are renewed like a child as you age.”
My favorite example of Saturn’s promise is Ray Bradbury. He had a Capricorn AC and Saturn conjunct Venus in Virgo. He was a super serious young man. He spent his life clawing his way into the publishing industry, literally paying his dues on a typewriter he had to pay to use at the library. Ray Bradbury always knew that he wanted to be a writer. He was a disciplined professional who wrote every day, but he was 30 years old when he started writing his bestselling novel Fahrenheit 451. It wasn’t published until he was 33.
As Ray Bradbury aged, his saturnine dedication to his work never left him, but he became more playful. When his stories were turned into the TV series Ray Bradbury Theater, every episode began with a view of his office, which was filled with model dinosaurs and toys.
By the time he died at the age of 91, he had a wide smile and eyes that sparkled.
“I want you to envy my joy,” he said. And it’s difficult to imagine anyone who wouldn’t.
When Saturn people reach middle age, we suddenly find ourselves in a better position than people we’ve spent our lives struggling to keep up with. People who haven’t learned Saturn’s lessons can get into their 40s and 50s without having a serious encounter with limits. There are people who find it easy to work with authority and manage to avoid sickness and disability. They learn that overcoming obstacles is just a matter of discipline and working harder, which makes it easy to believe that every obstacle will be overcome if you just put your back into it.
In youth, it can seem like Saturn has given them the better deal. The truth is that everyone has hard limits, and Saturn comes for all of us eventually. While Saturn’s children dance through old age, people who are meeting Saturn for the first time really struggle.
Lessons can be harder to learn when you’re older. People facing Saturn for the first time have often spent a lifetime building the habit of fighting harder when they don’t get what you want. For most people, pushing on in the face of adversity is a virtue. It’s called grit, and it’s a virtue American culture especially loves to applaud. Better yet, without Saturn’s restraining hand showing them their limits, people with grit often have a lot to show for their efforts.
Habits are hard to break, always, but they’re even harder to break when a good habit becomes unhelpful. When Saturn is in charge, grit is not a virtue. Learning how to recognize your limits, stop, and reassess is one of Saturn’s tests, and the consequences of failing Saturn’s tests in middle age can be severe. A hangover that used to last for 20 minutes can last for three days. Trying to take stairs two at a time can smack you in the face.
Were you a kid who sat on the sidelines? Have you spent your life feeling like a broken record that only plays, “I can’t…”
I see you. I see Saturn’s promise in you. Your joy is coming, and if you stick around long enough, everyone else will see it, too.

Nico Robin HC + Moodboard
Based on my modern magic AU ♡
Clairvoyant. Even though it's an unpredictable ability, her tarot cards are her best friends, and she's quite good at it as well
I see her doing a little tarot reading on her friends when she's worried about them. Obviously she doesn't tell them, it's just to give herself some peace of mind (and maybe to check whether she needs to follow them somewhere and keep them safe. Just in case)
Dark academia aesthetic without trying!
She's intimidating to look at, especially when she's always alone with her nose in some old, stuffy book - but she's the sweetest person if she decides you're worth her time
One of her favourite things to do is go to the library or a coffee shop. Secretly she also visits the cat cafe near her university, but that's kept under wraps
I just KNOW she has one of those old typewriter machines, just for the fun of it
Studies archeology & is so so passionate about it, but it's a quiet kind of passionate. She doesn't really talk about it, but her part of the bedroom is filled from top to bottom with books, posters, tools, anything you can imagine about the topic and more
Likes to drink coffee in the communal spaces, just to feel close to whoever is at home. Sanji coming to live with them has been an absolute blessing, because this means there's always someone tinkering in the kitchen
Easily one of the kindest people in the house. Immediately jumps at any chance to help people, but it's hard to notice at first because she's so reserved
Isn't just knowledgeable about her own abilities, she studies so much and has tipped her toes into so many different kinds of magic - No one but her really knows how powerful she is

I thought the Drowned God re-release was a letdown enough, but two days ago someone on Discord let me know that the new game guide that was included with the other bonus materials was plagiarized from a 1998 walkthrough from the website Balmoral Software. I looked into it and can confirm that it was in fact blatantly obvious that was the case and I've put in pics of a couple examples out of many. The pics written in the typewriter font with the occasional redactions are the "new" guide while the pics in a standard font are the old guide.
I'm kicking myself because this "new" game guide was one of the positive things I had to say about the bonus materials, I was so charmed by its presentation, but now I can see that despite the effort put in, whoever made it was also too lazy to reword more of the plagiarized parts to at least cover up their tracks better. I might have actually used the 1998 guide myself the first time I played the game, but it would have been nearly 3 years ago at this point so I would have forgotten what it said.
oh my fucking gooooooood between this, the meager concept art, the REFUSAL to clean up the audio files, and the asisine merchandise…….. On one hand I’m happy that the game is once again circulating / being sold but on the other. This is a complete disappointment. Game back on the market but at what cost. The Harry Horse Estate can only redeem themselves one way now and it is releasing an official tarot deck with the game designs <- THIS IS ONLY PARTLY A JOKE. I NEED THAT DECK.

I realized that I have one more academia aesthetic that suits me so well. Heres some description and pics for inspo. Let`s call it "spiritual academia" The "Spiritual Academia" aesthetic is a captivating fusion of intellectual curiosity, vintage charm, and mystical allure. It seeks to harmonize the pursuit of knowledge and wisdom with a deep connection to the spiritual and metaphysical realms. This aesthetic embraces both the earthly and the ethereal, resulting in a unique style that is both contemplative and enchanting Wardrobe: A blend of vintage, classic, and bohemian styles. Think tweed blazers paired with flowing, ethereal dresses, adorned with occult symbols like pentagrams or crystals. Earthy colors like deep browns, dark greens, and rich purples dominate the palette. Accessories: Incorporate statement pieces like crystal pendants, antique rings, and feathered headbands. Layered necklaces featuring both literary and spiritual symbols can be a key element. Books and Altar: Create a study space that doubles as a spiritual altar. Arrange old leather-bound books alongside candles, incense, and tarot cards. A vintage typewriter can sit next to a crystal ball or a set of runes. Nature Connection: Integrate nature into your space with potted plants, dried herbs, and botanical illustrations. A window with billowing curtains that catch the sunlight adds a dreamy touch. Rituals and Mindfulness: Embrace practices like tarot reading, astrology, meditation, and journaling to cultivate a sense of self-discovery and intellectual growth. Aesthetic Inspiration: Draw inspiration from literary figures like Virginia Woolf or Hermann Hesse, who explored both intellectual and spiritual themes in their work.

That violent nullity James Bond having long outlived his creator, it has fallen to an interesting gang of alpha novelists and superhacks to keep him busy: since the death of Ian Fleming in 1964, more than 20 new Bond books have been written. The latest of them, Jeffery Deaver’s Carte Blanche, was published this year, and as recently as 2008, Bond nuts were solemnly delighted—or I was, anyway—by Sebastian Faulks’s even-better-than-the-real-thing novel, Devil May Care, which featured a partially lobotomized lead goon and a villain with a main de singe,or “monkey hand” (hairy wrist, non-opposable thumb).
Perhaps the most rewarding of the pseudo-Flemings, however, has been Kingsley Amis, whose Colonel Sun appeared in 1968 under the nom de plume Robert Markham. Amis’s Bond, while retaining the familiar psychopath’s obsession with menus, tailoring, and branded goods—“Bond almost felt relaxed, finding the charcoal-grilled lamb cutlets with bitter local spinach very acceptable”—is also a suspiciously Kingsley-esque conservative, deploring newly built houses and the rise of a “vast undifferentiated culture, one complex of super-highways, hot-dog stands and neon … stretching from Los Angeles to Jerusalem.” Amis would maintain a fierce moral allegiance to 007. Decades later, upon learning that John le Carré had described Bond as an “ideal defector” and “the ultimate prostitute,” he vented in a letter to Philip Larkin: le Carré’s comment was a “piece of bubbling dogshit,” he wrote, adding that he preferred Bond to the “dull fuckers” of le Carré’s own fiction.
George Smiley, le Carré’s enduring gift to the literature of espionage, is, of course, the anti-Bond. Across the sequence of novels in which he appears, peripherally or centrally, this secret servant of Her Majesty (like Bond, he works for British Intelligence, known in le Carré world as “the Circus”) is discreet to the point of self-erasure. Bureaucratically dowdy, rarely spotted in the field, a dull fucker by both instinct and training, Smiley drops no one-liners, romances no tarot-card readers, roars no speedboats through the Bayou. Bond has his ultraviolence and his irresistibility, his famous “comma of black hair”; Smiley has his glasses, his habit of cleaning them with the fat end of his tie, and not much else. There is a cultivated blandness to him, a deliberate vagueness of outline that at times recalls G. K. Chesterton’s Father Brown—the little priest’s alertness to sin replaced, in Smiley’s case, by an extraordinary memory and a profound knowledge of “tradecraft.” Smiley is also a cuckold of near-mythic proportions: his wife, the glamorous and rarely-at-home Lady Ann, seems to sleep with everybody but him. (She has doubtless slept at least once with James Bond: he’s just her type.) When John le Carré dies, there will be no pseudo–le Carrés, rotating the clichés of Smileydom through their potboilers. Not only is le Carré more or less inimitable—less imitable, certainly, than Ian Fleming, whose style was essentially that of a school bully with a typewriter—but Smiley himself is too elusive a creature to be captured by any pen other than that of his creator.
News late last year of a movie adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy—the greatest of the Smiley novels—caused me to salivate mentally. Gary Oldman as Smiley? John Hurt as Control, the withered, irascible Circus chief? Colin Firth playing someone, anyone at all? The juices of anticipation squirted in my brain. In the autumn of 1979, every Briton with access to a television set was watching, with avidity and occasional bewilderment, the BBC’s gloomy, labyrinthine Tinker, Tailor miniseries—not least because, as le Carré modestly reminds us in his introduction to the latest edition of Smiley’s People, “the only independent channel in those days obligingly staged a strike and for six precious weeks the entire British viewing public had to choose between BBC1 and BBC2.” There were other reasons, too, for the general enthrallment. Anthony Blunt, a much-garlanded art historian and the Surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures, had just been exposed as a former Soviet spy, part of the Philby/Burgess/Maclean ring. Thus did current affairs conspire to lend a more-than-usual piquancy to le Carré’s vision of an Establishment honeycombed with treachery. In Tinker, Tailor, George Smiley is prodded out of retirement to unmask the mole who sits at the Circus’s top table: Is it busybody Percy Alleline? Roy Bland, “the shop-soiled white hope”? Dashing Bill Haydon? Or the Hungarian, Toby Esterhase? Alec Guinness, playing Smiley (25 years removed from playing Father Brown in The Detective), blinked myopically and carried inscrutable wounds. Around him at the Circus were men both loud and furtive in their natures, swaggering and self-concealing, as if simply to be born into the British ruling class was to sign up for a lifelong career as a double agent.
There had been other screen Smileys—Rupert Davies gave him a bluff inhumanity in The Spy Who Came In From the Cold, and James Mason drawled James Masonically and rather ineffectually through Sidney Lumet’s The Deadly Affair—but Guinness’s became at a stroke the definitive performance. Guinness-as-Smiley was monkish, fastidious, almost prim, bestowing here and there the faint, equivocal benediction of his Smiley smile. He had a doughiness of feature and a plumminess of tone. He moved as if he were wearing three overcoats. In restaurants he looked inexpressibly pained, but if you mentioned his wife his face would register nothing at all. Guinness’s only rival to date for the role has been Simon Russell Beale—the voice of a hooded, magnetic Smiley in a recent series of BBC radio plays.
The new model of Tinker, Tailor—opening in the U.S. in December—is, for me, problematic. Director Tomas Alfredson, previously known for the well-regarded vampire flick Let the Right One In, has reduced the already low pulse of the BBC version to a throb of nearly reptilian thrill-lessness. Which would be fine, except that much of the distinctive le Carré atmosphere has also floated away. Circus HQ, for example, in the novels a warren of pokey corridors with London traffic-grunt coming in through the windows, is rendered by Alfredson as a kind of totalitarian Reading Room, a soaring industrial/cerebral space in which ranks of eavesdroppers and codebreakers clack at their machines, and meetings are conducted in soundproofed cubes. It’s a chillier spy world, with wider gaps between people. The center of gravity provided in the novel by the Establishment, the clubbable Old Boys in their smotheringly furnished rooms—burgundy carpets, burgundy faces, overstuffed men in overstuffed chairs—has gone. Gone too is the heavy fellowship and ghastly heartiness, the endless belaboring of Smiley with the long syllable of his first name: Oh really, George!, George, you must see …, How’s the lovely Ann, George? Now they all communicate in leers of mutual suspicion: a Scandinavian reboot has occurred. Was the Cold War really this cold?
Oldman-as-Smiley, meanwhile, is blanker, harsher-voiced, impenetrable behind the huge reflective panels of his glasses. The wan little smile has become a grimace. Twice we accompany him in the laborious meditation of his early-morning swim in the Thames, watch him pushing pale-shouldered through the tea-colored water—to what end? We cannot possibly guess what he’s thinking. No clue! Smiley’s understatement has been overstated.
It’s very 2011, I suppose, to rub away the interpersonal texture and crank up the anomie. Didn’t the Bond franchise give it a go in 2006’s Casino Royale? Daniel Craig as a harder, icier Bond, hacking his ethically unencumbered way across a borderless post-9/11 globe … To strip down or minimalize le Carré, however, is to sacrifice the almost Tolkienesque grain and depth of his created world: the decades-long backstory, the lingo, the arcana, the liturgical repetitions of names and functions. Did you know that it was John le Carré who introduced the word mole (for “double agent”) into English? Also honey trap? He has enriched the language itself—a claim not even the most devoted Bondian, not Kingsley Amis himself, could make for Ian Fleming.

Academia
- Academia:
is a term referring to a group of aesthetics that involve learning, particularly through study, research, and reading.
- History:
Academia aesthetics, also known as scholarly aesthetics, have gained significant popularity in recent years, particularly on social media platforms and among young adults. These aesthetics are inspired by the academic environment, scholarly pursuits, and the romanticized image of intellectuals.
The history of academia aesthetics can be traced back to various literary and cultural movements that celebrated knowledge, learning, and intellectualism. One of the earliest influences on academia aesthetics is the classical Greek and Roman culture, which revered education and philosophy. The Renaissance period in Europe also played a significant role in shaping academia aesthetics, with its emphasis on humanism, art, and intellectual inquiry.
In more recent history, the 20th century witnessed the rise of literary and cinematic works that romanticized the academic setting. Books like "Dead Poets Society" and "The Secret History" depicted the allure of knowledge, intellectual pursuits, and the aesthetics associated with academia.
With the advent of social media platforms, particularly Tumblr and Instagram, academia aesthetics gained a broader following. Dark Academia emerged as one of the prominent subgenres, characterized by its dark and mysterious atmosphere, classic literature, and a focus on themes like introspection, melancholy, and a yearning for knowledge.
Over time, various other academia aesthetics have emerged, each with its own unique elements and interpretations. Light Academia, for instance, emphasizes a brighter and more optimistic atmosphere, while Vintage Academia draws inspiration from retro aesthetics and nostalgic elements. Gothic Academia combines elements of dark and gothic aesthetics with an intellectual focus.
Academia aesthetics continue to evolve and grow, with individuals embracing these aesthetics as a way to express their love for learning, literature, art, and intellectual exploration. They provide a sense of belonging and community for those who identify with the ideals and aesthetics associated with academia.

There is no way you just guessed one of my real names unintentionally lol
I have 3 names not inclusing my family name, and Gomez is indeed one of them! You can call me that if you'd like, I don't mind haha, fits with the context too!
>.>
Alright, Gomez it is \o/
I would love to say something mysterious about tarot cards and crystal balls, but honestly I’m reminded of an old adage from my hometown (honestly it’s probably not the regional)
But the saying is “even a blind squirrel finds a nut.”
Squirrel behaviors aside, it really just means anyone can stumble on a thing completely by chance. The whole Monkeys and typewriters thing is about the same.
Idk why, but I love that you have four names.
Technically I’ve had five! But I only kept three. My initials used to spell a word, but now it’s just nonsense.

[ID: Mixed media art piece blending photos, painting, and cell shaded drawing. It's a mockup of an old polaroid picture. On it, we see the realistic background of a city, on a sunny day. In the middle of the concrete is drawn a cartoony bunny crossing the street, going towards the viewer. It's a batbunny, a little mischievious bunny with batwings and a devil's tail. The batbunny is holding a stick with a little bundle attached to the end, probably holding its only posessions. Merrily, it's going into the shadows of the foreground. It seems that it hasn't noticed the ominous purple tentacles going out of an open sewer manhole lurking right ahead, and is going right into it. This is an interpretation of the traditional rider waite tarot card named "the fool"; the title and the number of the card, 0, are embossed on the blank polaroid, in a typewriter font. End ID.]
I'm going to try to make a batbunny tarot. It's going to take like 15 years
