read the entirety of annihilation by jeff vandermeer in four hours—by flashlight on my living room floor—during last night's blackout. highly recommend it (the nonstop reading, not the blackout ofc)

wait, you're a lawyer? for real?
I got an associates in stage tech, a double BFA in Graphic Design and 3D Design, and then went to law school on full academic scholarship, booked twelve classes, fell asleep during the Bar Exam three times (but passed with flying colors before the curve), and the motion for my admission to practice (put forward by my brother, also a lawyer), started, "My sister has many issues, but the one before the Court today is that of her admission to the State Bar of Michigan."
And somehow yes, they do let me practice law.

"adam parrish was a miracle of moving parts, a study in survival" in case u forgot!!!! "what do you want adam to feel awake when my eyes are open" let's consider!!! "who has he ever had to love him, ever?" even!!! "I know you are not the same as him but in my head everything is always so tangled I am such a damaged thing" as well!!! "he was not robert parrish but he forgave past adam for being afraid of the possibility" in fact!! "rags to riches isn't a story anyone wants to hear until after it's done" if you'll remember!!! "it was only because he believed he had saved himself that he could imagine saving someone else" if u even care!!!

Alice Albinia's The Britannias is a fascinating book on many levels but also the prime reason why writing about history, especially premodern history, double-especially premodern women's history, is not so easy as just quoting some writers utterly without context/critical scaffolding/enquiry/rigorous methodology and doesn't actually prove what you want it to prove, even if the point is one to which we might otherwise be sympathetic.

Hey y'all! I am considering trying listening to podfics, but I have no idea where to start. Like, I read a lot of fanfic, but idk how one goes about listening to them? Is it like an app, or a download it kind of thing, or what? Do you have any advice or specific recommendations? In the past I have really, really struggled with books on tape because I cannot focus on just listening, but I like listening to like sort of documentary-ish videos while sewing and that's just a person talking, so probably I would be able to focus on audiobooks or podfics now?

y'all i've been upset about nanowrimo's shenanigans since last year, when kids weren't safe, and now there's this AI shitshow, and i want to cry about it again, because nano has been SO IMPORTANT to me since 2008--it helped me hack my writing process and make a bunch of cool shit, and i've written so many stories i love using it as a jumping off point. but. we gotta protect kids, and we gotta get the fuck out of here with AI bullshit.
so. the decision i have come to is that i will still be participating in nano. but now it stands for "now a's [that's me] novel writing month." i'm still going to write a book in november, and i'm still going to shoot for the 1,667 words/day (even though my finished projects wind up way longer than that, invariably), because i've structured my creative life around this routine, but i won't be using their site any more.
i will also not be tagging my november project posts as nanowrimo, but i WILL still be tagging them as "nano[YEAR]" (because that's been my tagging system for untitled projects for uh. years.). and it's now a's novel writing month :)

What a beautiful gift it is to go from the monotone audiobook narrations of Heroes of Olympus to the dulcet tones, dramatic sighs, and voice acting prowess of Robbie Daymond as Lester “oh woe is me how could I, the most beautiful and awesome of gods, Apollo, be reduced to this horrible disgrace (being a regular dude (with acne))” Papadopolous

No because for as traumatic and scary Bloodmarked is, Valec’s back has to be SORE for carrying the humor in this book like sir???
Stopping an elevator otw to put Bree on trial to ask what her and Sel’s deal is? He is in the middle of running his business and he takes a moment to be messy.
Wanting Sel to explain the crossroads jazz man story in his “sullen, unhappy voice” of his and asking if he smiles?
“Saying aloud all I desire” and exposing what we all knew about Sel but nobody flat out said??
The teenage melodrama is a whirlwind and Selwyn is my emo babygirl but maaannn is it fun to see Valec take none of this shit serious cuz he has the rizz and power to do so. Who is doing it like him??
Also gonna push the “Valec is the May Gemini to Sel’s June Gemini” agenda what with him being the wisecracking older brother that he is.
Love Valechaz DOWN. Layered, intimidating, hilarious. Bree is too young for him and so am I but I at least have a fully grown frontal lobe so I’ll handle that 🤪

At the anger stage of realising I have childhood trauma
#for the longest time I didnt even register that what ive been through probably counts as trauma#especially because i was doing the comparison thing#like all my friends had fucking???? awful parents and I was here pimping mine out because they were supportive of my being queer#and they were supportive of a lot of things growing up#but also there was a lot of stuff that im now realising was Not okay#and that actually just because there were good things that doesnt negate the fucking emotional problems I had growing up#anyway im just angry that I now have to fix this shit if I wanna try and live a life#personal#raven rambles#like im sorry youre upset that i dont have a traditional job parents#and im sorry that I have struggled so much and that Ive been so listless about my life because of things I didnt understand#i understand them now and Guess What!!!! theyre most likely inherited FROM YOU ASSHOLE!!!!!#youre upset that im not the person I could have been WELL SO FUCKING AM I#AND NOW IM ANGRY THAT YOU COULD HAVE FUCKING DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT#when i was BEGGING YOU FOR FUCKING HELP AT 14#WHY DIDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME!???#WHY DIDNT YOU FUCKING BELIEVE ME WHEN I TOLD YOU I WASNT OKAY!?????#All these psychs and gps telling me I have excellent insight into my own fucking mind and my own emotions is so validating#but also so fucking anger inducing#because for so long I was trained TO NOT FUCKING TRUST MYSELF#but actually i have very good fucking insight apparently#so I love you parents#but also fuck you#fuck you fuck you fuck you#I think ive pinpointed why I have been feeling like smashing plates a lot recently#anyway ya boy has a mental health plan booked huzzah!

diet culture is such utter horseshit. why on earth should pasta not be consumed and enjoyed. (aside from allergens and true intolerances) why deprive yourself of one of the most human ways to connect with the world around you: enjoying food. and emphasis on ENJOYING, not just eating sawdust protein bars to keep your stupid flesh body alive so you can put more sawdust in it. humans have cultivated and created and experimented with all kinds of foods and ingredients over centuries and you’re gonna sit there and tell me to avoid pasta cuz it has Carbs in it?? do you fucking know anything? about anything? that carbs are your bodies’ preferred source of energy?? that there’s no such thing as a Bad macronutrient?? that the demonization of carbohydrates is fucking ridiculous, and how insane it is that these people tell you to avoid rice and anything with dough and bread and like 90% of every cultures food on earth?? makes you think huh! fuck you diet culture fuck you diet industries fuck you fuck you fuck you. this food was not made to hurt me, it wasn’t made to hurt anyone. this is meant to be shared and enjoyed and loved. i don’t think anyone meant any harm for inventing bread and it doesn’t make you a criminal to enjoy a slice.

the dashboard osmosis has zapped your blorbos into my subconscious bc despite not having read a word of svsss last night I dreamed about a musical adaptation of it. thought you should know. (the dream musical kind of slapped btw)
OH MY GOD??? that sounds incredible holy shit now all I can think about is which scenes would make good songs. this is amazing omg I'm so glad my dashboard osmosis powers were strong enough to do this to you
#asks#scribefindegil#if you remember any details from the dream i would LOVE to hear them#i wanna know how this appeared in your dream lol#svsss is such a neglected stepchild when it comes to adaptations. all we have is an abandoned and terrible looking animated version#but A MUSICAL HOWEVER. here's how scum villain can still win#im not a musicals expert but im thinking about how this would be...#if it's capturing all three books then i think the most natural intermission point would be the self detonation scene#i've seen an animatic of that scene set to a cover of please please please that sounded like it was out of a musical#and that's kind of what i'm imagining. really dramatic really emotional. potentially a really stark shift from other songs involving sqq#oooh what if his songs tend to sound a little more modern than other characters'#or they have a particular motif that represents the system.... and then he hears that same motif from sqh and he's like HEY. WAIT A MINUTE.#anyway. back to self detonation. i think that would be an excellent place to end act one#bc the curtains lowering over binghe cradling his body would be SO good#and then you go to intermission and come back to absolutely ridiculous shenanigans and six balls#the climax of the story/love confession would probably really intense at first and then suddenly go soft when sqq reveals the jade guanyin#ouuughghgh thinking about teen binghe having an ''i want'' song as the protagonist#and then getting a fucked up reprise of it later on#isn't there an equivalent of ''i want'' songs for villains. i can't remember what it's called. but i think sqq should have that#just for funsies.#scribe you have given me SUCH brainworms this is excellent

Can I recommend my series of novels about very silly teenagers getting into nonsense with fairies and gods and mythological beings around their cutesy little town?
What is coming of age for if not dealing with the Immortal Boyfriend Age Gap quandary, discovering you are really into giant horned deer gods, being a cursed teenage witch with a crush on your new bestie, or being the friend who saw it all coming months in advance?
