Bordeaux: Days 1-4
#I swear I’m not completely nocturnal#I just like to get up early (6 am-ish) to run#and the sun doesn’t start coming up until around 8:30 here#which is cool with me#less cool is the whole ‘jet lag = no appetite’ thing that always happens with me#so I’ve just been going to a different boulangerie/café every day after I finish at the Archive de la Gironde#and buy myself a treat#because that’s pretty much all I can handle for the day and I know from#experience that that’s the way to go in France#I still need to do holiday shopping#and one more day at the archive#b/c they can’t find the entire ‘Culte et Collection Juife’ and claim all the call numbers are defective#which means all I’ve been able to photograph is the ‘Intendent: Juif’ collection#not terrifying at all#I’m not great at being forceful in English#which means I’m even worse in French#but I have to beg them to look again tomorrow#not the stones#me stuff#france#bordeaux#also got Vietnamese food#b/c it’s always so damn good in France#Bò Tái Chanh for the win

The universally hates old people crowd truly does not understand how much of our society is run by old retired ladies working what ought to be a 40-hour a week paid position with benefits for free. You have no idea how much knowledge would be lost if everyone over the age of 60 just disappeared right now.
#My church put out a call to get more volunteers working at our cemetery#it's a fairly big old Episcopalian church so we got a big ass cemetery#so I had a meeting with these two old ladies#and like I can give one day a week to this thing. they have been spending years doing this as their full-time volunteer work#just transcribing and archiving and organizing#they're incredible!#and so lovely!

she’s an artist. she’s got DID and it’s not villainized. her armor is a bunch of tiny freaks in a trench coat. she’s good friends with one sword and traumatized another as a child but they are rebuilding that relationship. she infiltrated the mafia. her husband supports trans rights and I think she does too but this hasn’t been confirmed and probably won’t be for at least 3-5 years in our timeline. probably more. she needs therapy but was probably one of the reasons it was invented. she’s also ginger. I’m not saying who it is but you know who it is.
#shallan davar#shallan kholin#wind and truth#wat spoilers#cremposting#her!!!!!#look she has been my blorbo since day one of reading this series#I think there needs to be more appreciation for our girl#and her alters#like she is the walking definition of 3 disasters in a trench coat#i love all of them#so so much#veil stormlight#radiant stormlight#the stormlight archive#and finally#I don’t think there are more alters but if they exist I want to see them#i mean#i don’t have DID but I have cptsd which is like a step down on the spectrum#and conditions beyond sad little meow meow ptsd are RARELY portrayed this well#in a hero no less#brando sando#you have done something amazing#that a major studio will probably botch in 30 years#even if it’s not earth shattering in terms of quality#DID protagonist!!!#who gets to be happy!!#anyways enough rambling

max's twitch stream: qatar sprint quali - nov '24
quick context: max sometimes plays background videos for chat to watch with him while he eats. during this particular stream max mentioned that he hadn't eaten for hours (just a tiny lunch) after doing a big run but dw cuz pietra saved him with some food which you can see in his camera view.
max: hello? ricky? *lando guessing if oscar is telling the truth or a lie - 1st box of lies* *chat making sure max knows his camera is blocking lando* max: 'you're in front of bob' for fuck sake. alright. i'll move. *oscar guessing if lando is telling the truth or a lie - 2nd box of lies* max: what the fuck is that? they're pickled onions or something? *oscar still guessing if lando is telling the truth or a lie - 2nd box of lies* max: i don't think he (lando) knows they're pickled onions. *production guy handing oscar the 3rd box of lies* max: chat, this is so fucking good, man. i'm not even watching the video, really, fuck. (😭😭) *lando guessing if oscar is telling the truth or a lie - 3rd box of lies* max: i don't know what- do they have to guess if they're lying or not? what? *oscar guessing if lando is telling the truth or a lie - 4th box of lies* max: peppa pig's (lunchbox). (the nooticer) *chat kinda roasting max for the way he’s eating* max: 'max really was starving' i know… *landoscar landoscaring* max: i don't get it. is he even lying? *oscar still guessing if lando is telling the truth or a lie - 4th box of lies* max: *pointing at the screen* mmm, (it's) actually peppa pig's (lunchbox). (the nooticer😭😭 ) *oscar confirming that, yes, it's actually his mom in the locket necklace - 4th box of lies* max: what? *box of lies 5 minutes video ending* max: is that it? IS THAT IT?!
#the way he was expecting more from a landoscar video ijbol#but SAME short king :(( we need longer videos#he was soOOoOoo hungry but he took some time to complain about the video#no one's doing it like him#ALSO might start posting some of the max clips i've got stored on my laptop just to have them as a little archive here#twitch clips#streamer! max#landoscar#← who would've thought max & landoscar would be a thing in 2k24? ik it's not a thing ffs#so i posted this two days ago but only the first 30 secs & now it’s complete :D

Jon's past comes back to haunt him when the Spotify wrapped comes out:
Tim: Right then gang! Who was everyone's top artist on their Spotify wrapped?
Jon: Tim, I don't think this is of any importance
Tim: Sure it is, boss! I for example had Chappell Roan as my number 1, I was even in the top 0.05% of listeners!
Sasha: Yea, that isn't surprising, you played hot to go on repeat whenever there was a statement about fire
Tim: What can I say, it's a banger!
Tim: Anyway, what about you Sasha?
Sasha: you are talking to one of the top 0.1% of listeners for The Cardigans
Martin: Ooh I love them! I got The Crane Wives, their songs are just so calming and relaxing
Tim: Oh yea, I've seen a few cool animations to their songs! That definitely aren't from a Minecraft series or anything
Sasha: Don't lie Tim, I know you cry every time you see a cactus
Tim: WE ARE GETTING OFF TRACK!
Tim: Who did you get Jon?
Jon: I don't really listen to music, too distracting
Tim: Oh rubbish. Cmon, lets see!
*he goes to grab Jon's phone*
Jon: No Tim, don't-
*Sasha grabs it when he's distracted*
Sasha: Got it!
Tim: Oooh, lemme see, lemme see!
Sasha: It's some band called "The Mechanisms"?
Jon: Oh no, this can't be happening
Martin: *googles them*
*see's Jon in full the full Jonny D'ville getup*
Martin: Oh
Sahsa: My
Tim: God
Sasha: YOU WERE IN A BAND!?!?
Tim: A STEAMPUNK SCI-FI PIRATE BAND?!?
Jon:
Jon: Right, I'm going to light the archives on fire
#I’ve not listened to the cardigans but I asked ppl who Sasha would listen to and one of my friends said it would be them#I started writing this while I was supposed to be working on a lab report#but then I got this idea and my brain was like “WRITE JON GETTING BULLIED!”#he listens to the mechs for nostalgia#he misses those days#he mainly listens to songs that the others sang#not so much his own songs#the mechanisms were Jon's uni band#and yes ik thats more of an ao3 tag but still#funny#meme#funny meme#tma#the magnus archives#tma memes#tma incorrect quotes#the magnus archives incorrect quotes#jonathan sims#martin blackwood#timothy stoker#sasha james#third life#trafficblr#mcyt#incorrect quotes

i know the whole "do you think jon ever used his powers to Know what his parents looked like" thing is far more devastating than this but what if he tried using his powers to remember original sasha? jon and sasha always seemed closer than the rest, he picked her (and tim) to work with him and tolerated a lot more nonsense from her than anyone else (using his password to access his computer [161], debating his pronunciation of calliope [25], etc)
and ofc jon and martin became significantly closer as the podcast went on, but in the beginning he was cruel to martin when he gave a statement but accepting of sasha? idk i think their friendship was a lot deeper than we realized (ESPECIALLY since his first murder in season 5 was because NotThem provoked him about sasha) and i think jon wouldve used his powers to Know the original sasha, not sure if it wouldve worked though
so so sorry to distract from the post but can yall read the tags for me because i suffered immensely for this post
#they make me ill#sasha was so cool i miss her every day#i think we need more sasha content#idk i wish we got more of them specifically#THIS POST. HAS CRASHED. 4. TIMES.#i am trying to write about the magnus archives and its like “hee hee tumbeast ate your post” give it the fuck back?#it saved to my drafts after the 4th tag but this is pissing me off#every time i try to tag it as “tma” it crashes so im not doing that#just pretend i did ok#16 more times total of 20 every time i try to write tags it crashes#it wont let me write the archivists name im genuinely so serious#please help me please help me#im gonna sit here for a second and let it save as draft#6 more times#ur joking#total of 26 crashes over this one post#hate to distract from my incredibly brilliant insight but this is unusable#i think its okay again actually?#gonna try tagging with real tags wish me luck#jonathan sims#jon sims#sasha james#tma#the magnus archives#the archivist#notthem#notsasha#tma theory#tma spoilers#holy shit it worked

im gonna start posting fanfic recs btw whenever i find good ones. both here and my (awfully barren) 18+ account. because there are so many good fics out there with so few hits and fewer kudos and sometimes no comments period and it SUCKS because i REALLY LIKE THEM A LOT.. and i hope that by linking them here and yelling at everyone to COMMENT DAMMIT they might actually do it
seriously though any comment means a lot. most people who read a fic don’t even give a kudos. even if the fic wasn’t top tier, if you didn’t dislike it, hand over some kudos!! and if you liked it, comment!!!! even if the comment is one singular heart emoji it will be appreciated. if the comment just says “great fic!” the author will be happy. your comment doesn’t have to be this long winded gushing or analysis.
so many authors quit writing or lose motivation because the comments are few and far in between or just sometimes nonexistent. trust me when i say authors don’t care about how long or cool or smart sounding your comment is i promise!!!
i hope that mmmaybe recommending fics and telling people to comment might help fics i really like get more support maybe. and i, points at you reading this, hope that you will listen!!!at least a little….at least sum kudos….
#if u have the ability to reply to my reblog saying how much you loved the fic i recommended comment on the fic itself so the author can see!#especially since the rise of ai writing and seeing ai fics out there can be disheartening#make sure you let your writers know you appreciate them#you never know they might one day write a sequel bc your comment touched them#or might get the motivation to make more works.#(but don’t just comment bc you expect something out of it btw. sometimes the author might be too intimidated to reply ive seen that before)#im a huge yapper. if you can’t tell. lmfao.#and i mostly comment on guest. like 99% of the time because the fics are either really embarrassing#or i get nervous about them knowing me/finding my tumblr and thinking im cringw#bc i admire authors so much. and I get that nervousness! given I experience it!!! but guest mode EXISTS!!! most work allows you to comment#on guest mode!! the author CANT see the email you use for it!!! the only reason they even ask is to give you notifs if theres a reply to it!#a comment is still a comment even if on guest or an alt or your main#even if the fic is embarrassing shameful depraved smut you can log out and comment on guest. even if it’s embarrassing#because the author still worked HARD. it’s so hard to write. people don’t give enough credit to fic authors who do it for free#i had an account (now super abandoned) that had over 400k words. and that didn’t include wips#i reallg do struggle to write because i took a break for so long!!! i can write but not nearly as much as I used to!!! and it sucks!!!#support your authors guys. 1k words is an hour for the first draft at MINIMUM and another hour for revision and editing. and people get#pissy if a fic chapter is less than 3-4k words for some reason. that’s 6-8 hours of work at MINIMUM. likely so much more because there’s#also plotting and brainstorming and So. Much. Editing. stressing out over words and sentence structure. it takes so much time out of your#day. the only oneshot i have posted on this account is 2460 words. and it took me SEVEN HOURS#seven hours!!!! that’s a lot!!!! and for authors that have school or demanding jobs that kind of time is hard to come by!!!!!#and I hope i have convinced at least one of you to listen and go okay you know what. i will. because even if it’s a silly comment it’s loved#tldr support your local fanfic authors of you will be so stabbed. by me#fanfiction#fanfic#archive of our own#ao3#comment on fics#wick fic recs#that’s the rec tag btw. wow custom tags AGAIN i know. im doing what i thought i never would

Sun, I am... Wonderfully terrified of Chapter III + VI's titles, even more so with the amount of stars, flowers, and butterflies you've scattered about. ...
...So terrified I may or may not be making UT-related fanart for the first time in eight years. I do love a good motif, or I guess it's symbolism? I wouldn't know-- --But there's something about the quality that you've put into this fan work that places it at the top of my favorites list. I really could peer into the details all day, the writing's understanding of its roster further supports this. I look forward to the tricks you've got up your sleeve! Even if they scare me. =]
I can't tell you how much this means to mee aaaaa
THANK YOUUU
So excited to get to those chapters eventually
I really appreciate when people notice the details I add and aaaaa thank youu
SOO glad ur enjoying it😭💜also, it's so amazing knowing this inspired u to make UT related art again that's great
#aughh chapter 3 is one of my favorites I have planned#augh this type of asks always make my day#I need to make an archive and save these somewhere#I'm just so amazed by the amount of people that are enjoying this story alsuwoeusoej#IT MAKES ME SOOO EXCITED TO DO MORE#answered ask
