A silly little idea I came up with (or actually I’ve had it for a while) when I was talking to Kazin, and as always, she drew it out for me… xD

The idea is that if Yuma goes into (or is forced) into a Mystery Labyrinth while he’s sick; in the Labyrinth, the illness temporarily disappears since they are in an alternative dimension. So while healthy, he can solve the mystery with no obstacles.

However…when he leaves the Mystery Labyrinth? His condition worsens. Depending on how long he was in there, or how much energy he used, it’s all transferred to his body outside, and…yeah he practically collapses.

LATER…

Shinigami knows exactly what she did.

What a little jerk x’D

I have doodles to do, things to catch up on and asks to get to but my body decided to make me very suddenly ill (>:[) in the midst of some serious college stuff, so just have this for now <3

I want to see all of them feral, dishevelled and fighting, so I am playing with the blorbos like toy dolls :)

Do I make sure Arthur wears his big blue coat at all times after his tb diagnosis because Arthur is permanently underweight after it and tb makes you really feverish? Yes

Continued here because I don’t want to clog up someone else’s post too much, but basically, what I was trying to say in my reply to this post is that I think we have this mistaken idea that “good stories” are something that exist in a vacuum and can be divorced from character and setting while still keeping the good parts. As if the “perfect plot” is something that exists completely devoid of context. But I just don’t think that’s true.

Truly great stories, fanfic or not, aren’t cut-and-paste. They wouldn’t work with any other characters or any other setting. The characters and setting are integral parts of what make the story good.

And authors, yes even fanfic authors, who are good at their craft know this. So only the mediocre ones go that route. The greats wouldn’t dream of trying to take their fanfic masterpieces and cut a bunch of holes in them and try to repackage them as marketable because that would destroy them.

So the shittiness of fanfics made into books is not because only fans of pairings you don’t like choose the fanfic->book pipeline, or because only het romance with tropes you happen to not like get adapted. As I mentioned in the reply, there are slash authors who write different tropes who have gone this route, too. It’s because re-writing a book without its characters and setting (if they were even there to begin with) creates a shitty product.

So, if you’re hoping your favorite slash author will take time away from their demanding job to turn their lovingly crafted hobby magnum opus into a generic mass market paperback, it isn’t going to happen. Not because the good fanfic authors are “too normal” to think about publishing their works, (not a fan of the implications of that statement, in this house we love and support freaks). But because the paltry amount of money they might (most fanfic adaptations are not wildly successful) make from bastardizing their baby is not even remotely worth it.

They would rather stay true to their original vision, even if it makes them $0. And I think we ought to have more respect for that.

time to buckle up and finish the Fics I owe people (i'm so sorry I know I'm bad)

Tested for COVID last night and got the boldest, most confident positive you could imagine within about five seconds. So there’s that!

[mrvelocipede]

Well, fuck. We've managed to go nearly four years without getting Covid. We've gotten our vaccines, worn our masks, limited our trips out into the world, taken somewhat more care and trouble than we might have done. Mostly it was because it seemed like the smartest thing to do. Partly, though, it was to try and protect my mom, who is the oldest and most at-risk of all the people in my own immediate circle.

So it's fairly ironic, I suppose, that when we finally did get Covid, it was from her. Because she's been going out and doing all sorts of things without bothering with even a mask. "You did at least get your booster in the fall, right?"

"Oh, I never got around to it. I'm so bad at keeping track of those kinds of things."

An excerpt from something that's been in my drafts for far too long now

Luffy & Sabo, pre-canon, Sabo still has amnesia but Koala dragged him to spend a day on Dawn Island and just so happened to time it right after Ace left, and he ended up spending the day with Luffy

Sabo gave in to the impulse, leaning forward to press a kiss against Luffy’s forehead. 

The kid looked up at him, eyes wide and only just starting to fill up with tears. The cry that escaped his throat sounded almost painful, raw and violent, and he lunged forwards, hands fisting in Sabo’s coat as his face pressed against his cravat. 

“I miss Sabo,” he sobbed into Sabo’s chest. 

Sabo gingerly wrapped his arms around the kid. 

“...I’m sorry I’m not the person you want me to be,” he said. 

They stayed like that for a while. Sabo kept rubbing Luffy’s back in what he hoped to be a soothing motion, allowing the kid to let it all out. 

In the end, Luffy was the one to pull away, straightening up as he wiped at his eyes with wrist. 

Sabo gently pulled his arm down, grabbing a handkerchief to use instead. 

He carefully cleaned up Luffy’s face, letting him use the handkerchief to blow his nose once done. Sabo intended to leave the fabric with Luffy, anyway, so it would be fine. 

Once Luffy was all cleaned up, the time has come to say goodbye.

I must be very sick, because I think that I just made some English verse that I needed for a short fic and I believe that it tracks.

That doesn't normally happen. Or when it does, brain is healthy enough to make me aware that it is very, very bad indeed. So I'm perplexed now.

It's a translation of a 17th century French song. Perhaps what helps is that the source material is supremely cheesy to start with (I love it)

Anyone with some kind of eye for English verse willing to check my work and point out the painful bits?
