Good Things In 2023

It’s that time of year again! Time to remember all the good things that happened in 2023. I’ve done this since 2017, and highly recommend doing this as a fun way to reflect (and to have something for future reference when you are feeling Down.)

woof ok here we go

PERSONAL

I visited two countries I haven't been to before: the Netherlands and Iceland!

The Netherlands: mostly Amsterdam but did also pop down to The Hague for a day. Did the Van Gogh Museum, the Anne Frank House, the Rijksmuseum, the Bloemenmarkt, a canal boat tour, the Royal Palace, the Mauritshuis.

Iceland: I was there for less than 48 hours but I saw THE NORTHERN LIGHTS!!!! they were subtler than I expected but so cool. also did the Perlan Museum and a Lava Show, which ruled.

Related: I turned 30 this year!

My dear friend Sam came to visit me in Dublin in June! The highlight of her visit was going with her to see Hozier at Malahide Castle.

Speaking of which, Hozier dropped UNREAL UNEARTH which isn't personal, per se, but is very personal to me

My sister visited me in November! We squeezed a lot in her time here, but highlights were Glendalough, the Hill of Tara, and the Galway Christmas Market.

A few aunts went on a trip to Ireland this fall and I joined them for a bit up in Donegal, as well as a day trip to Derry, which I'd not been to before.

Completely fucking forgot about this but I did write a 158k word long ROGUE ONE / FRINGE AU, ENDLESS FORMS MOST BEAUTIFUL. it was a real fuckin bitch to finish, let me tell you that

I got really into MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE over the summer (don't ask) and wrote a couple short pieces inspired by the most recent movie, DEAD RECKONING - PART ONE: LADY LAZARUS and WORTHY THE NAME OF SIR KNIGHT.

I jumped back on my bullshit in October and wrote a long, extended epilogue to my BINARY STAR SYSTEMS trilogy: TWO DESERTS. the way the series ended was always correct and good but it was fun to write this extended epilogue focusing on the fallout, the question of what it's like to live past the end of your myth.

Anything bolded below is something I particularly enjoyed and recommend.

"Eurydice" by Adrienne Su

"What Happens to a School Shooter's Sister?" by Jennifer Gonnerman for The New Yorker. A high school student murders his parents and several students at his school, and his sister is left to pick up the pieces. really powerful story on unconditional love.

"A Friend Died, Her Novel Unfinished. Could I Realize Her Vision?" by Leslie Jamison for The New Yorker. the grief of losing not only a dear friend but her art as well.

"Fuck you, I don't know?"

Werner Herzog pronounces Eeyore.

George Washington's Dream for America, an SNL sketch.

Judi Dench performs Shakespeare.

"Walking Brittany Home" by Devin Faraci for Washington Post. a really beautiful piece on death and love.

This thread on the struggle of trying to be fashionable in Ireland.

"The Return of the Marriage Plot: Why everyone is so eager for men and women to get hitched" by Rebecca Traister for The Cut.

"We Were Never Supposed to See Our Own Faces This Much" by Lola Christina Alao for Dazed Digital. on social media and personal reflection.

sunwoof

this story about Jimmy Buffett I loved

"She Wasn't Able to Get an Abortion. Now She's A Mom. Soon She'll Start Seventh Grade" by Charlotte Alter for Time. the cruelty is the point.

had a pilot named Ken yesterday and he introduced himself by saying his job is plane

"Cillian Murphy might be the star of a massive movie atm but to me he will always be the guy that showed up in the rain to our abortion rights marches"

"The 'Troubling Reverberations' at the End of OPPENHEIMER, Explained" by Bilge Ebiri for Vulture. it's an absolutely devastating ending, but the fact remains: there was no other way to end it.

this obituary for the great Sinéad O'Connor.

Kiké Hernandez returned to the Dodgers!

this behind the scenes video from the filming of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE: DEAD RECKONING - PART ONE where Tom Cruise's co-stars watch him drive a motorcycle off a cliff.

"How Christopher Nolan Learned to Stop Worrying and Love AI" by Maria Streshinsky for Wired. good interview with Nolan, one of my favorite filmmakers / artists. (anyone who's ever read anything I've written is probably like yes, this is very obvious.)

"The Perils and Promises of Penis-Enlargement Surgery" by Ava Kofman for The New Yorker. an absolutely BONKERS but super important piece!

a new ending to RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, lmao

"The Return of Ryan Gosling" by Zach Baron for GQ. really great profile writing going on here!

"LOST Illusions: The Untold Story of the Hit Show's Poisonous Culture" by Maureen Ryan for Vanity Fair. LOST is one of my favorite shows and has been super influential on my work. (again, this is probably very obvious). this piece is devastating in how it reveals the terrible racism and sexism behind the scenes of a show I have loved. important.

Henry Kissinger died this year (GOOD THINGS BABYYY) and this piece by Nick Turse, which came out in May, is a good explainer on why that's such good news: "Kissinger's Killing Fields".

"Talking With 'Swiftie Dads' at a Taylor Swift Concert" by Eileen Cartter for GQ. I thought this was very sweet.

The New York Times had an interactive feature about Connie Chung and her impact on young Chinese-American women, particularly the ones named after her. I love this video of her meeting some of them.

"Will A.I. Become the New McKinsey?" by Ted Chiang for The New Yorker. Chiang is best known as the writer of STORY OF YOUR LIFE which was adapted into ARRIVAL, so it's wise to listen to him when it comes to tech and science.

Loved this speech Mark Hamill gave about Carrie Fisher at her Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony.

Accents white people can still do.

this absolutely incredible slapstick esque unintentional comedy scene.

As always, tagging anyone who’d like to do this!

White Wolf (A Gunpla verse drabble)

"So who's our target for this mission?" "Some wannabe 'game center crusher'." "Just one player? Either he's really good or we're going overkill for this one. I mean, one against four? That's not very fair odds." "You know better than to count on a straight numbers advantage. They've been callin' this guy the 'White Wolf'." "White Wolf? What kinda name is–" "Hey, I think I've been hearin' about him, actually. They say he uses a barely customized Barbatos, but he's able to wipe the floor with players in the double digits at a time." "That's an impressive count... But there's no need to get freaked out over a numbers game." "Heh heh, yeah. They were all probably a buncha rookies anyway. Gunpla Battle keeps pullin' in all the greenhorns lately." "Like I said, don't let your guard down. Overconfidence is one of the biggest killers on the battlefield." "Don't go sounding too much like some grizzled war dog, now."

"Nero Squad, cut the chatter. We're approaching the operating area now."

Amid the darkness of the dense, virtual jungle, four encroaching lights dot the simulated nighttime sky – the fiery exhaust of mobile suit thrusters.

"Nero 4, taking overwatch."

A single light breaks formation and dips down to an overlooking cliffside. It's an excellent vantage point and, judging by the build of the Gunpla's user – a pitch-black, customized GM Sniper II – well suited to providing reconnaissance and sniper fire.

"Nero 2, Nero 3, you're with me."

"Hard copy, Nero 1." "Roger."

The remaining three silhouettes begin to drop to the ground below, their machines promptly sinking beneath the tree tops of the jungle and settling on the earth below. Despite the variety in their chosen Gunpla – a Zaku High Mobility Surface Type with a fin antenna adorning its head, clearly designating the unit as "Nero 1" of the group, an RF Kampfer, and a Gundam Ez8 Heavy Armed Custom – "Nero Squad" is aptly named for the black color scheme each of their suits have been painted in. What's more, each unit's cameras were specifically colored a deep red, thus adding further to the "low visibility" aesthetic of their customizations. This ragtag band of Gunpla Battlers had clearly made themselves into a well-disciplined fighting force and the ambiance of the current stage gave them every advantage in the world.

"Nero 2, you're on point. Nero 3, you're in charge of our six in case something happens to Nero 4." "Oh come on, Nero 1. When has your eye in the sky ever let you down? Everyone's data link is working, right?" "Affirmative, Nero 4, but it never hurts to be cautious." "This guy ought to be like shooting fish in a barrel. White sticks out like a sore thumb in the dark, you know." "Stay frosty and keep your eyes peeled. All of you. Nero 1, out."

The Kampfer – "Nero 2" – moves ahead of the Zaku and Ez8, brandishing its shotgun at the ready as it leads its team further into the jungle. Both of the monoeyes on the Zaku and Kampfer stay scanning their immediate surroundings while the Ez8 likewise keeps its head on a swivel. So far, so good. Nothing out of the ordinary... Although that creates a slowly building sense of tension among the squad seeing that nothing is happening whatsoever.

Is their prey keeping himself hidden? For what purpose?

"...You don't think he fled, right?" "No. If he pulled his registration, the Plavsky particle generator would've disengaged. Our guy is definitely here somewhere." "How in the world haven't we found him yet? I know it's a pretty dense jungle, but there's no way he can hide that well..." "It's only a matter of time. He'll reveal himself soon enough. He has to."

A dull thud reverberates through the quiet jungle canopy and the three-man squad suddenly freezes in place. Their eyes turn to their radars, their system instruments. Nothing pings to life on any of their detection equipment.

“What was—”

“This is Nero 4! I think I saw a muzzle flash somewhere in the jungle, but I couldn’t pin down the location! What’s– A 300mm round?!”

The GM Sniper rears back from the approaching projectile upon identifying its make and trajectory, the pilot inadvertently raising the rifle to defend itself and destroying its long-range weapon in the process. As the three squadmates on the ground scramble to try and find their prey, they notice a rush of movement too fast to track at their flank. It doesn’t even present a signal on their radars, though instinct still prompts them to train their attention in the direction of the movement.

However, before they can properly surround and encircle their enemy, it suddenly shoots upwards from the jungle floor, boosting its way upward to intercept the hapless “Nero 4” upon the clifftop.

“I-Is that…?!” “It’s him… The White Wolf…!”

With nothing more than a clearing night sky and the artificial moonlight illuminating its frame, a Barbatos 4th form build seems to hover in the air above the GM Sniper II. Its body is adorned with an anti-beam coat mantle, swaying against the simulated wind, and a Gerbera Straight katana attached to its hip. In each hand, the Barbatos wields the Shiranui and Unryu enhanced sabers.

“Just two swords…? Then I’ll—!”

The GM Sniper deploys its beam sabers in each hand, ready to intercept should the Barbatos approach, but instead it crosses its enhanced sabers together. Plavsky particles visibly gather within the blades, as though charging them with some nascent form of energy, and then, it swings in a flurry of motion. With each slice of the blades through the air, a curving purple “slash” of energy shoots towards the unsuspecting GM Sniper, tearing into its frame.

“Wh-What the hell is–?! Aaaahh!!”

“Nero 4” is promptly eviscerated by the tempest of attacks, the mobile suit collapsing in a burning heap under its own weight now that it’s lost all structural integrity before exploding.

“What’s wrong? Nero 4, come in! Do you read me? Report your status!” “...Don’t bother, team leader. The White Wolf’s already sank its fangs into our buddy.” “Ngh… Get ready to ambush him as he lands! We’ll make him pay for taking down our comrade!”

The Kampfer of the group continues remaining close to the rear, adjusting its positioning in preparation for an ambush, while the Ez8 adjusts to a more advantageous firing position. Without hesitation, it rips open with a hailstorm of all of its armaments, the 100mm machine gun, vulcan cannons on its head piece, and the two Salamis-class cannons all spitting their firepower at full bore while its pilot unleashes a beastly roar, attempting to gun down the falling Barbatos custom. Each weapon firing at once creates recoil, causing the pilot to struggle a bit with aim corrections, but some shots do seem to impact the intended target… And to little effect, with the shots mostly bouncing off of the Barbatos’ ABC mantle.

“It deflects bullets?! It should only be resistant against beams!” “Don’t panic and hold your fire! You’re just wasting ammo at this point.” “That builder really knows his stuff, being able to reinforce even an ABC mantle…”

“We’ll see how well he stands up to a more direct attack.”

No sooner does the Barbatos land upon the ground does the Kampfer charge right in, raising its right arm as it boosts forward and firing off the three missiles from its arm-mounted pod and promptly purging the now emptied pod from its hard point. Its mechanical arms swing around then to start popping shots off with increasing closeness to the Barbatos. The so-called “White Wolf”, however, promptly leaps with a boost dash away from the trajectory of the missiles, although the resulting explosion as well as the shotgun’s blasts drive the Gunpla in an easily predictable direction. This seems to be exactly what the Kampfer pilot was counting on as he raises the left arm and, from two protruding points built into the arm itself, a pair of mechanical, tentacle-like wires shoot out and sink themselves into the Barbatos’ arm.

“Ha! I’ve got him by the short hairs now!”

A visible, electrical current runs from the wires and envelops the entirety of the Barbatos’ frame. The Gunpla seems to twitch and jitter against its will before going still, the green glow of its eye cameras flickering for a moment. Without wasting a beat, the Kampfer follows it up with a blast from its shotgun at near point-blank range, creating visible damage upon the Barbatos’ body and head, the glow of its “eyes” dimming to darkness as it lurched backwards and appeared to slump.

“See? He’s no big deal. The ‘White Wolf’ must’ve just been dealing with a bunch of newbies up until now. What a shame for him that his luck finally ran out… Huh?”

There’s a brief glint before its eyes flash back to life, the former green now replaced with an angry, red glow. Its body shudders for just a moment before slowly raising and correcting its posture where it stood.

“N-No way! It’s still functional?! I thought—”

Barbatos wastes no time swinging its uncaptured sword arm and severing the mechanical wires keeping it bound in place by the Kampfer.

“But he’s wounded! One more shot and he’ll definitely fall!”

So the Kampfer pilot thinks, but the Barbatos rushes in and slices with its two blades – first, at the arm containing the triple heat wires, inflicting good cuts that cause a small explosion upon the arm itself as the blows promptly destroy the heat wire launchers built into the arm.

“Damn it, he got my arm! But he’s still… What the?!”

Visible, glowing, Plavsky particles seem to flow from the damage arm and accumulate onto the Barbatos’ body, enveloping the damaged areas with a virtual, blue glow and obscuring them from sight briefly, although once the visual effect begins to fade, the damage inflicted upon it appears to be entirely gone with the Gunpla completely returned to its original, pristine state.

“How in the hell is that possible?! He must be cheating!” “No, he just understands the system better than you do. Repair on hit… That’s an advanced builder’s technique.”

“Rrrgh! I won’t let him get away with this!” “Nero 2, what are you doing? Keep a level head!”

The Kampfer refuses to heed the instruction of its superior and shifts its stance as best as it can to angle the two storm faust launchers mounted to its legs before proceeding to fire the rockets in the Barbatos’ direction. It’s no trouble at all for the Gunpla to avoid being hit as the rockets trail in a wild arc, completely missing their mark, and the resulting detonation causes a chain reaction that quickly sets the nearby jungle awash in a raging blaze, obscuring the vision of both the Ez8 and the Zaku.

“Damn you! I’ll put you down, White Wolf!”

“Nero 2” once again roars with battle fury as the INCOM units on its back detach and begin flying by wire attempting to fire upon the Barbatos. However, the nimble Gunpla practically dances around each shot before closing the gap separating it from its prey.

The team status designator for “Nero 2” upon the surviving team members’ HUDs turns red as the word “LOST” replaces its health indicator.

“Damn… Nero 2 lost.” “No way… What happened to the White Wolf anyway?! The flames are too thick, I-I can’t make anything out in this wildfire!” “Nero 3, calm down and fall back. We’ll regroup and—” “Oh… Oh no! He’s here! The White Wolf is already here!” “What? Nero 3, report!” “I-It’s no good! I can’t hit him with anything! H-He’s too fast! How is that even possible…?!” “Nero 3!”

“Nero 1”, pilot of the Zaku High Mobility type, confirms the Ez8’s last known position on his radar and proceeds to move in, hoping to intercept and save his last remaining ally before the worst could come to pass. His comms are filled with desperate, frightened screams, and he can hear its storm of gunfire ringing out from a distance, growing louder as he drew closer and closer, until suddenly, with an abrupt silence–

<< NERO 3 — LOST >>

No sooner does the confirmation appear that the Zaku manages to clear through the burning shrubbery, only to find the White Wolf standing there, its back turned and painting a menacing silhouette, as the frame of the Ez8 stands motionless in front of the Gunpla, the twin blades piercing its cockpit. The Barbatos glances behind itself, the now blood-red glow of its eyes glinting, as it seems to acknowledge the approach of its newest foe, and then briefly turns its attention back to the motionless Ez8. With a twist of each blade, it pulls its swords free from the inert Gunpla, which then falls to the ground before erupting in an explosion to cement its own destruction.

And then both Gunpla face one another, their respective presences creating a rather picturesque landscape painted against the blaze raging all around them.

“White Wolf…” Nero 1 utters in a low growl, tossing aside its machine gun in silent acknowledgement that the armament would do it no good. Instead, it opts to reach behind and draw the elongated heat saber from its dock upon its thruster backpack. The metal rod soon alights with orange heat, matching the intensity of the flames serving as their backdrop — lending clearly to the weapon’s namesake.

“...It’s hard to believe there’s an actual player at the controls for that thing. It’s rare to see a battler with such skill and ferocity, especially in a game center.”

The Zaku takes up a ready stance with its heat saber, leaning its weight forward, as the Barbatos slowly approaches. A moment of silent intensity passes between both Gunpla and pilots, as though each one is sizing up the other.

And within that moment, Nero 1 finds himself wondering whether he’s truly battling a demon. The White Wolf regards him with no verbal response, but neither is there anything lifeless or artificial about its presence – unlike an AI. No, there was certain intent behind movement, an almost killer instinct rarely seen among Gunpla battlers.

For the first time in Nero 1’s long battling career, he felt not as though he were the hunter, but the hunted.

One breath, one adjustment in the Barbatos’ approach, was all that it took to signal the resumption of their battle. It was the first to move, one step faster, already readying each of its blades to sink into the enemy Gunpla, but Nero 1 was no pushover in that regard. Its leg and back thrusters, coupled together with the hover thrusters in its feet, burst to maximum output as it rushed forward to meet the Barbatos halfway. Its heat saber clashed with the twin blades’ arc as the two machines passed one another, the Zaku using the momentum and force provided by its propulsion to deflect and riposte the attack, forcing back the Barbatos as they passed one another harmlessly.

Nero 1 is already spinning on a dime, readying the heat saber so as to lunge straight towards White Wolf, and the Barbatos is hot on its heels. The superheated steel plunges outwards, hoping to catch the Barbatos mid-sprint, but the beastly machine is faster still – just barely, though – as it slips to one side. Its nanolaminate coating seems to begin warping and bubbling from the close proximity of the heat saber to its body as the Barbatos closes the considerable gap. One blade moves to knock the heat saber away, and the other moves to attempt to catch the Zaku by its hands.

There’s some small success in the attack: The heat saber is knocked unsteady by the first blow, and the second catched the saber just right to send it flying out of the Zaku’s grasp. Nero 1, however, seems unphased, as he immediately propels himself backwards to create space and, within the same movements, his Zaku’s hands are already reaching for two more weapons docked upon its skirt plates – a pair of heat axes that immediately warm to life as soon as they enter the Gunpla’s grasp. Wasting no time, Nero 1 promptly tosses both axes as if they’re tomahawks.

Barbatos had already draw both blades back and was midswing, aiming to bisect the Zaku, in the scant few moments that the heat axes began their trajectory. The first axe collides with the joined blades during their arc, forcing an unintended deflection that causes both of its arms to go wide, opening it up. The second axe sails true not far behind the first, and its heated blade finds its mark upon the Barbatos’ body, sinking straight past the nanolaminate coating and armor to dig slowly into the body’s greater mass. It’s not quite a direct blow to the cockpit, but if it were mere inches closer, it would be a sure kill. The Gunpla had to have been greatly compromised by the successful attack as it stopped dead in its tracks upon its back foot. Its arms twitch and its grip goes shaky as bolts of simulated electricity arc across its limbs, as though they can no longer obey their pilot’s inputs.

The Shiranui and Unryu blades then drop from its grasp, clattering upon the ground below, as each of the Gunpla’s arms fall uselessly to its side, and its front half leans forward, seemingly defeated.

“Heh… Looks like the White Wolf is mortal after all.”

Nero 1 slightly relaxes as his foe seems subdued for the moment, but notes how the system hasn’t registered the battle as “ended” quite just yet. It meant that he still hadn’t delivered the finishing blow, but that was a matter that could be quickly rectified. With a chance to breathe, the Zaku disengages its thrusters and relies on manual movement as it walks to retrieve the elongated heat saber that had been disarmed moments prior. The blade reignites with its namesake heated properties once returned to the Zaku’s grasp, and it moves to loom over the crippled White Wolf, raising the blade above its head.

“You were quite the entertainer, but it ends here.”

As the heat saber begins its downward swing, suddenly the Barbatos’ head jerks upright. The green glow of its camera eyes suddenly burns a deep crimson, emanating outwards from the mechanical irises. In a flash of motions, its left hand moves to secure the katana sheath at its hip, and its right hand grasps the hilt. Taking a moment to adjust the scabbard perpendicular with its body, it suddenly shoots forward and past the Zaku, ending up mere meters behind it with its katana blade drawn in its grasp.

Nero 1 is left speechless by the sheer speed of the movements, especially when he finds his heat saber slams useless into the ground where its foe once lurched before him. Just as he even thinks to try and analyze what just happened, his virtual cockpit suddenly flashes red with error messages. He watches from his monitor as his Zaku suddenly goes unsteady against its will, and its top half slides cleanly off of its bottom half, collapsing onto the ground. The camera feed cuts out, and the AI announcer declares the results in its mechanical voice at the same time the notification pops up on the HUD.

<< BATTLE ENDED >>

——

The Gunpla battle simulator disengages and four men emerge from capsule cockpits into the game center, a few familiar voices loosing sounds of disappointment and disapproval with the results. Amid their din could be heard the commentary of those who served as audience to the match, watching on monitors spread around the game center that played a live feed of the simulator, everyone mumbling about the “White Wolf” and in shock of how the renowned “Nero Team” could be crushed so easily.

Was there anyone that could stand against this beast?

From the opposite side of the simulator setup, another capsule cockpit opened, and a young, caucasian-looking man of black hair, dark brown, somewhat sullen-looking eyes, and a pair of glasses stepped out. Within his grasp was the very same dreaded “White Wolf” that was quickly becoming the talk of the national Japanese Gunpla battle scene – a custom Barbatos wearing an anti-beam coat mantle that partially obscured a 120mm smoothbore cannon mounted upon its back, a pair of Shiranui and Unryu enhanced sabers in its grasp, and a “Gerbera Straight” katana sheathed upon a dock attached to its left waist. He seems to quietly observe his Gunpla for a few moments before slipping it into a carrying case upon his person.

Without paying any heed to whatever attention his revelation may be drawing, he moves to exit the game center. However, the men of “Nero Team” take exception to this upon noticing him and move to intercept. One of them stops the young man’s departure by seizing him by the collar of his shirt.

“Just who the hell do you think you are anyway?!” He barks, the voice sounding reminiscent of “Nero 2”. “Is this how you get your kicks?! Bullyin’ people around game centers?! If you’re such a hotshot, why don’t you compete in a tournament or something with someone at your skill level instead of stompin’ on regular players, huh?!”

“Hey,” another of the men calls out, his voice indicating him as “Nero 1” of the group, reaching out to grasp his comrade by the shoulder and stop him from escalating things further. “Stop that, don’t make a scene.” “But—! Ah!”

The first man winces, then lurches, his grip upon the young man’s collar faltering as he reaches up and takes hold of his captor by the wrist, squeezing firmly. Firm enough to cause considerable pain.

“Ow! Ow ow ow ow ow! What the—?!”

“Nero 2” finally releases the black-haired man and retreats his wrist into the grasp of his other hand, rubbing the affected area. “Too weak,” he remarks, his voice low and listless.

“What?!”

“If you’re gonna complain about someone stomping over the weak,” the young man continues, lifting his gaze to behold the whole of Nero Team with a sharp gaze, as though his eyes could easily cut through the lot of them.

“Then maybe you should get stronger. Strong enough to protect what matters to you. Strong enough to put down a ‘beast’ like me.”

“What did you say?!”

The larger Nero 2 had to be held back by his comrades as the young man continued on his way, completely disregarding the lot of them to exit the game center.

“...Who does that guy think he is?!”

“Wait… Come to think of it, I think I’ve seen that guy before,” another one of the men, “Nero 4”, chimes in.

“Yeah… Hey, yeah. You’re right,” yet another affirms, the voice belonging to “Nero 3”. “Isn’t that the ‘Nanashi Mumei’ guy who qualified for the upcoming regional tournament?”

“I think it is… Yeah, I can see the resemblance.” “So is that how that guy gets his practice in…? By crushing different game centers across the country…?” “What a piece of work… Who can stop a monster like that?”

——

Zechariah, of course, couldn’t be the least bit bothered by the reputation he was garnering overseas like this. So long as he remained behind his identity, the “nameless” Gunpla battler, he could battle as he wished freely. After all, getting a taste of what the locals had on tap was enough to rekindle that particular “hunger” he once had back home.

He should have been more cautious. He should have known what he would be getting himself into, visiting the country like this. Maybe on some level, he did, and he was always just looking for an excuse to lose himself in this little pastime in the first place.

Hoshino… No, Lacie… She was wrong about him. She knew nothing about where he came from. Why he became like this.

No… The reason why he fought was to escape himself. To chase after a thrill until he could no longer chase it. That ferocity within him, that desperate drive, had not been lost yet.

Only in Gunpla battle could he toss what remained of his broken heart, his broken self-esteem, into completely. Only in Gunpla battle could he find something liberating. Something that freed him from his own pain, if even for a little bit.

And so, he would fight. He would play as he wished, and fight senselessly. It’s where he felt his very soul belonged to, after all, a virtual battlefield of senseless carnage and conquest, overcoming adversity, knowing full well that, someday, someone could rise up to finally crush him.

He would fight until there was nothing else left of him. That was why he was here. And that was why he wielded his “Barbatos Bushin” as his blade. A Gunpla built for nothing but battle. A Gunpla that would one day be crushed by someone that could finally succeed him. So impossibly strong and fast, yet so very fragile in its durability, even with its self-sustaining capabilities.

All he needed to do was keep battling and battling until there was nothing else left.

completely unrelated but im also thinking of making an rf verse for clay LMAO

[belle-keys]

Now that you've read cc1... Thoughts, if you don't mind?

Alright, let's go. Just want to point out that I still don't support SJM as a person, and I'm still a critic of her writing regardless of my feelings about any of these new characters. Also note that this is just a tangle of thoughts and not a proper review.

- I would give a kidney or any selection of organs for Ruhn Danaan, like I love that man so much. Definitely my favorite character in the book. Danika is my second favorite character. I really like Bryce and Hunt as individuals (despite the overwhelming Main Character Syndrome they display). That being said, I don't ship them. Their romance is pretty generic, kinda boring and cringey in this book. I'm not saying I wish it didn't exist, but I could not care less about the ship itself. Doesn’t matter to me personally if they sail or sink.

- Side characters: I absolutely adore Lehebah, Syrinx, Jesiba, Tharion, and Isaiah to death! I have a major crush on Micah, given that I figured out he was the Big Bad early on in the book and got to appreciate him in a Sexy Villain Dictator light. Hypaxia and Fury are on my radar as favorite side characters too, once I get to know more about them in the future book.

- I like the City. It's messy as hell, and not nearly as good as other recents fantasy worlds written by women (*cough* RF Kuang's Nikan), but it's really gritty and fun! I like the mix of modern and ancient in Crescent City. It feels kinda like Gotham, if it were more supernatural. The actual lore and the different creatures in Midgard is too... messy, as I said, for me to praise, but I like how it all comes together withing the city confines to create an ambiance, even if it's not coherent. I think the messenger otters and the intense bureaucracy in literally *everything* are my favorite aspects of the world.

- I feel like someone who’s more versed in high fantasy than me can articulate why the mixing all these different mythogies, belief systems, and folklores in a single book is a bad idea. We got the Fall of Lucifer and Judeo-Christian elements, ancient Rome, celtic and norse mythology, and a few more things packed into one setting. Like, the world is called Midgard… but it’s run by these demigods formed born from stars… who command batallions of Judeo-Christian angels. Oh, and then the citizens worship these other five gods who aren’t actually linked to the demigods and who feel vaguely roman. Sometimes it was interesting, but it really bugged me because the worldbuilding just didn’t mesh. It felt, even though this may not be true, like Janet was making stuff up as she went along and the editor just sighed and decided to roll with it.

- Sarah J. Maas still absolutely sucks at writing believable trauma. I got so fed up the torture porn -> hurt/comfort pipeline, like please write something else Janet. This isn't AO3, and they still do it better anyway. Sarah also sucks at writing warfare and believable civilian casualty, but I digress.

- You see what went down in Jesibah's library with Micah and Lele and Syrinx and the whole revelation about the Horn??? Favorite scene!!! I was super emotional reading that, like it really reminded me of Dobby. I really enjoyed that scene even though it was heart-breaking as hell. Another scene I adored was the Summit scene cus it really reminded me of bullshit like UN Assemblies and the G7 Summit where leaders meet up to brag about how fancy they are and then fail at productivity.

- There is room for me to like both Bryce and Hunt more, once they hopefully stop with their Mary Sue Pick Me behavior in Book 2. They were just far too generic for me sometimes. I like Bryce just an ounce more than Aelin and Feyre, and I like Hunt more than Rhys and Rowan. No one in this book is on the same tier as Dorian and Lucien except for (maybe) Ruhn (because I need to see how the second book goes before I decide). Bryce self-victimizes too much and Hunt is plain stupid most of the time, and I’ve seen this a thousand times before. I rolled my eyes so hard when it was revealed Bryce was special and royal all this time like bruh, that shit was cliché asf.

- I lost a year to my lifespan everytime someone “snarled”, “growled”, or “purred”. I also got back pain everytime there was a sentence that was actually just a clause with a fullstop, because *dramatic effect* amirite.

Okay, that’s all for now. I’m sure I’ll have a lot more thoughts on this 800 page behemoth, but I finished it like 5 seconds ago, so I’ll stop here.

Thoughts on the character:

Oh man Faty has got so many, it’s hard to pick even a few! I don’t know too many of the muses she’s playing on there if I’m being honest, but I can say I followed her blog originally because of Feiruz and being in the HM RP tag. Facts! That muse in particular, being an OC in the fandom, is valid as hell and I appreciate her infusing a different brand of culture into the series that also translates into how she is in a RF verse. She’s (mostly) unapologetically energetic and loud, and we love her for it.

BUT for this blog we’ve mainly got interactions with Edea, who was a great part of Bravely Default. Even if I ended up dropping that game at the looping part (alas) I loved the bits I did play before that, and the character of Edea Lee with how she went against her family and country for the safety of the world, fleeing pursuit, and coming into her own. Valid as hell.

Have you interacted before:

Plenty!! We’ve got like what, three or so threads on this blog and two on Raguna, then another one on the multi. Asks get sent around pretty frequently and we got shitposting on top of that. Full course meal of Faty interactions and I’m happy for it.

Favorite part of portrayal:

Fuck, all of it. Each character has a unique voice and their narration fits them well. They do a great job balancing a very wide array of muses. Zack compared to Chrom is like night and day for example.

One piece of advice:

Don’t have much to say! Faty is laid back and takes things at their own pace, keeping track of interactions and not being overly biased on what they’re doing. It’s nice, I’ve never felt left out with them. :^)

A verse (mine or theirs) I want a thread in:

I want to throw Raguna with his FE verse in with any of her FE muses. Chrom or Lucina, the chance to do more on that front would be very nice. Or some more threads with the somnium verse. Maybe a group thing with you and Scoob, no I don’t give a shit how long it would take.

Thoughts on the mun:

We must protect Faty at all costs. She’s precious and I can only hope she has half as much fun writing with me as I do with her. We got some serious variety between all the blogs and muses and I would always love more.

Coming Attractions!

Because it is the first Monday of the month and also I think I skipped last month, whoops.

Because I think I haven’t done it in a while, I’m gonna take this opportunity to plug my writing discord--it’s not super active, but I sometimes ramble about various projects and I usually post updates there, too, if you miss things here or on AO3.

Also, Open Question Night because why not--if you’re new here (or have forgotten), while my askbox is always open, I’m actually hanging out and around to answer tonight. Anything I’ve talked about either here or Ao3 is fair game; questions about writing in general, etc. While I do accept prompt, I do not promise to fill them in a timely fashion, lol.

What’s on your minds?

In general, I’m a little bit behind on where I wanted to be on most things--I didn’t get quite as much done as I’d hoped in February, and then work got super busy in March, so I was scrambling to finish my BB draft, and things just sort of dominoed.

Star Wars Projects

Big Bang:

Still untitled, but I have...most of it written now! (Which. Like. Deadline for a more or less complete draft was April 1 so, lol.) There are a couple of bridging/character-building scenes I might want to add, maybe a couple additional flashbacks, plus I need to smooth out some transitions/starts and ends to scenes/I think I’m missing a fight scene or two, etc.

Anyway, I’m pretty excited! There are a couple scenes I’m really looking forward to sharing--some of the stuff with Bo and Padme’s relationship arc; a couple things with Anakin; that one part my notes subtitled ‘But Brutus Is An Honorable Man...’

That’ll go up in May--starting on the 4th, but I probably won’t post it all at once. The schedule will probably materialize once I’ve figured out exactly how I want to format it (since my original plan for how the flashbacks would be seeded through doesn’t quite work as the project stands...)

Precipice!Verse:

Still on hiatus/don’t have a start date for the next part. But my plan right now is to start posting once I have five chapters more or less ready to go. I’m hoping for either later this month or May, depending on how much BB edits/other projects/work eats my brain. I’ll probably put up another teaser this month. Hoping to get the first Preludes story out in the next few weeks as well, but I’m behind on that...

Other SW Projects:

OFLAM, Distaff, Auxiliaries, Devoted!verse, Jedi of Valdemar, etc. ...I don’t have any concrete updates on these but they are still in the pipeline. Just a little bit back-burnered at the moment. Though given how heavily Bo is featured in my BB project, that’ll probably kickstart OFLAM a little bit.

AtLA Projects

There are two I’m working on, and I’m hoping to start posting at least one this summer. I’ve talked about them in a little more detail in previous Coming Attractions posts, so I don’t have any real Updates, but just figured I’d put them here as a placeholder XD

BSG Projects

There is actually at least one thing solidly in the pipeline in this fandom for once! AKA my roommate has been watching SG-1, I’ve been in the room as she does, it woke up a crossover I had going back when I was actively in this fandom like seven years ago...anyway, that crossover’s gonna end up as an AU outline in the not too distant future. Which may or may not lead to more fic in this fandom, because it is a fun one to come back to.

Original Fiction

I keep meaning to get back into the groove of writing more original stuff and it keeps not quite happening, lol. I also really need to finish updating the Lux and Farglass Cycle archives...

I also really need to read more Arthuriana, because that Lady Mordred idea nibbling at the back of my mind is still present enough that I kind of want to actively work on it, at least in a backburnered sort of way. So, yeah, if you have recommendations for particular novels/resources, I’d appreciate it!

There are a few others that aren’t ones I post on rainbowfic (first contact novel, another traditional fantasy, the institute files, the judas epic, etc.) but the Mordred one is the one that’s uppermost in my head lately.

Anyway, no real active plans here except ‘try to post more to RF’ ‘update those archives already’ ‘maybe start working on the Mordred thing,’ but that’s where we are.

We’ll see how it goes!

...I think that just about covers it! Like I said earlier, this is an Open Question Night--I’d love to hear what’s on your mind/chat about my projects or whatever it is your working on!

WIPWCW #4

So... I’ve skipped the last 2 weeks of check-ins because I simply forgot, LOL *dumbass* Here’s a new check-in for @wipwc-wednesday​!

Weekly WC: counting the last 2 week ~13k I’ve finished epiosde 12 of Reichenbach Falls, my superwholock fic. Besides that, I’ve reviewed all chapters of my potterlock fanfic, Harry Potter and the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which accounts for like, 85k words. 

WIP Status: RF is doing great, I have started episode 13, so my pre-writing schedule is coming along nicely. My potterlock fic is on the line to start pre-writing a few chapters ahead too, at least 4 but preferably more. My spn flower shop series are on hold for a bit

Chapters: I’ve written a total of 5 complete first drafts for 5 individual chapters. I have also published the whole 8th episode of Reichenbach Falls called ‘National Treasure-Trove’ where John and Irene sought out the town’s original founder and uncovered a conspiracy, and Sherlock helped Sally Donovan solve minor cases while Greg stayed in county jail after a pair of kids pranked him. Yep. Poor Greg. 

Favourite Characters To Write This Week: I have to say writing John Watson is quite interesting. Giving him the background I did, it’s easier to relate to him and put a few lessons forward eventually. Then Greg Lestrade, he is an interesting guy who has a lot of secrets of his own so >:D

Favourite Snippet/Scene: This is from episode 8, Reichenbach Falls, where John found an official file documenting the infamous coverup 

THE O’LEARY COVER-UP

‘Let it be known that Balexander O’Leary, famous in his native Reichenbach Falls for rolling down the hills stark naked and let wild racoons clothe him until he got fleas and for drinking sewage water, thinking it was a magic potion granting him powers to see Jesus Christ and fight him until his second coming on Earth, was chosen to become the first US-allowed official mayor of Reichenbach Falls. O’Leary often spoke in a series of babbles and unintelligible yells, usually screaming his trademark phrases: ‘That sign can’t stop me because I can’t read!’ and ‘Baghferumehamamahaaaaaa! The winged oats are attacking!’’

“Oh my God, he predicted a meme and spoke in keysmash?” Irene said in awe. John grunted a response, his brain focused on the rest of the text.

The rest is under the cut! See you next week, folks!

‘The fabled founder of Reichenbach Falls was, in fact, a fraud. His last miserable, and completely unaccounted for moments on Earth were spent suffocating in a barrel filled with pickled water as he attempted to transcend to the lost world of Atlantis. Whether he’d achieved it or not, no one cares, because Balexander O’Leary was a [CENSORED] hated by everyone who got a whiff of his cologne and personality. He will not be missed.

‘The true founder of the town appears to be a mysterious man who allegedly travelled here from the future year of 2012. Also known as Alexander Hirsch, or King Awesome-Sauce, the eccentric miracle man went crazy the first night he discovered the town’s whereabouts. He claimed that he had had a bet with a friend in the future, which consisted of burning his old, ugly red jacket that was burned under a Full Moon while Hirsch and his friends danced around the bonfire, chanting Satanic verses such as: ‘Hola-Ola-Antilopa-Mola-Dona-Pepsi-Cola!’ or ‘We’re all weevils in a captain’s biscuit!’ In other words, he had sold his soul to an unspecified deity or demon, and thus Reichenbach Falls was created.

‘Hirsch was also famous for riding into the White House and battling Thomas Jefferson and his pet alligator with an army of alloted deer, three of which were constantly addicted to petrol. Hirsch claimed his German surname granted him the magical ability of a Disney Princess, and used his powers most accordingly.

‘Unfortunately, Hirsch’s 21st century antics held no purpose in the late 1700s, and he went crazy in less than a month, drawing odd sketches of two siblings in a mystery town. He was impeached by a group of thug squirrels who took over Reichenbach Falls in an unsuccessful attempt to establish a forestocracy as a protest against deer who licked their nuts (unspecified which kind). The squirrels were gunned by woodpeckers who avenged the local mafia family of beavers, and peace was once again established, but in the meantime, Alexander Hirsch disappeared. The last time the locals had seen him was on the back of a half-paraplegic deer with abhorrent singing abilities as Hirsch yodeled a weirdly familiar theme song of his made-up world.’

@rxnewedfate for Leo in RF!verse

Siegbert fiddled with Siegfried’s sheath. This was beyond awkward. The last time he’d seen his uncle was when his father had died, in his arms. It was his uncle that had to tell Siegbert to move, to go, after Xander had died. And Siegbert had run at that point. Partly in fear of the things attacking and partly in fear of his uncle. He’d never seen his uncle look that angry before. 

He’d just barely made it out and had turned make sure he wasn’t being followed when he saw his uncle fighting. The man had taken a sword to the middle but was still summoning trees and vines. It was soon after that, that he’d noticed that the castle around him was shaking and stones were falling. Turning and fleeing with the other children that was the last time he saw his uncle and the tome again... until now.

Shaking his head to bring himself back to the present, and out of his memories, he gave his uncle a hesitant smile. He really was happy to see his uncle again. He just wasn’t sure what was an appropriate gesture, seeing as how he was his uncle’s age now. That was a sobering thought. He was the same age as his uncle was currently. 

“I-it’s nice to see you again... Uncle Leo.”

[RF] All the Men and Women

The death of a beautiful woman is, unquestionably, the most poetical topic in the world. -Edgar Allan Poe

On the morning of my first suicide attempt, I woke up. In itself, this was not surprising, after all, such is the nature of sleep. However, when I woke up that fine morning, I resolved to bring an end to my miserable existence, having really nothing better to do. Then – if a morning routine is something that simply must be described – came pancake factor number one, eyeliner rose hips and lip gloss. What fun! Of course, a red summer dress and some sandals are necessary before I can face the day. But all that was merely habit, what really mattered was what I would do next. I had suicide on the brain and nothing short of death would stop me from going through with it.

When I was young, I had the misfortune to read Crime and Punishment and ever since, I have wanted to die in an axe robbery gone wrong. Unfortunately for this dream, my darling Olivia had gone out for the morning, so there would be nobody around to hold the axe; as getting stabbed in the back is normally more of a group activity. If only I was one of those depressives who got a thrill from sliding a razor blade across their skin, then I might be able to recline in the bath as I exited this world. A similar displeasure accompanies the thought of wrapping a rope around my neck. That settles it! My head gently nestled inside an oven like a newborn with its mother will be the solution for me.

I suppose a note is what is needed now, to explain myself. Which is a shame as judging by the amount of rejection slips my short stories garner, I have never been much good at writing. I try too hard to make my prose look feminine; to capture in it the subtly affectation and dry sarcasm of an Austen novel. With the result of training myself to sound like the 19’th century, flaws and all. It’s strange, despite wanting to write such a document for so long, I have never put much thought into the mechanics of a suicide note. Should it be in free or blank verse? Is the characterisation ok? Does it feel believable? The genre of death notes, like any other, must have its clichés. It’s not really a proper suicide note if it’s not scrawled in hasty handwriting across a tear stained page, is it? If so, I shall write mine on a word processor and showcase the subversive wit that has brought me such fame as a bartender. And before that, as a pizza delivery girl. Olivia shall be it’s recipient, after all, she’s the one who will probably find me. First and foremost, an apology, then the reason for the inconvenience, I guess.

I feel like a failure. As a writer. As a woman. As a friend. A girlfriend. An employee. A person. And I don’t want to feel like that anymore! Enough talk. Now is the time for action. Let me run to the oven (preheated earlier, of course, so as not to overcook anything) and hide my head inside. The pungent aroma of gas filling my nose like I caught the world’s most noxious wedding bouquet. And as the darkness gathers before me, I shall finally escape the hollow emotions and petty tragedies people call life.

#

The first thing I felt – as my eyes opened and feeling returned to my brain – the first sensation I experienced was the coldness of the hospital gown against my skin. Then the soft warmness of the midday sunlight stealing through the opened window underscored by the cheerful song of an ECG machine. And then I saw Olivia’s concerned face staring at me from across the room. She noticed that I was awake and came towards me; the blend of light and shadow dancing across her face as she moved gave her features a flickering quality like they were made of pure liquid. A headache was growing deep within my skull and I pressed my hand against it to physically smother the pain. Olivia took hold of my hand with one hand and smoothed my hair back with the other.

“Are you feeling ok?” asked Olivia. “Would you like some water? Here, drink this.”

“Thanks.”

“Is that good? Are you feeling better now? You don’t want to dive out of the window or anything? Or bite down on a shotgun when we get home?”

“Yes, I’m fine now. And don’t worry I won’t be pulling a Hemmingway as soon as I get out of here.”

“Are you sure?”

"Yes!”

“Then what the hell were you thinking?” Olivia sat down on the edge of the hospital bed and let go of my hand. “I came home early, thank God! And I saw you passed out in-front of the oven, barely breathing, I wasn’t even sure if you were alive. I called an ambulance and they rushed us over here. Was it something I did wrong? Did I do this to you?”

“No, Olly, fuck no. I was just feeling so wretched and this insane delusion took hold of me.”

“I don’t mean to sound insensitive here, you can tell me if I’m wrong. But does this have anything to do with your transition?”

“The fuck’s that supposed to mean?”

“Well, you just seemed so much happier before it. You know, I remember when we moved in together. It was like being in a fairy tale! Highschool sweethearts, and now we were living together, it was amazing. We made it. The great American cliché. Is being true really worth it if it doesn’t make you happy?”

“No shit, I’m not as happy as I was back then! My dad won’t talk to me, I have to put on clothes that don’t fit me just so the prick of a manager won’t fire me, and now this, from you?” Then came the tears. Olivia held me for a time until the sobs faded and the wet streaks on my face dried.

“I love you and I want you to do what makes you feel good. If that means being trans, then so be it,” said Olivia. “But what if you tried being a man again, for a while. You could always go back if it doesn’t work out, and nothing changes. Please, as a favour for me?”

“Do you really think that would work? Would it make me feel better?”

“Maybe. But even if it doesn’t, it’s worth a shot isn’t it? And I miss the old you. You look tired. Come on, lie down for a bit and get some rest. I’ll stop bothering you. Don’t worry about it, get some rest, and we’ll talk more later.” Olivia got off the bed and sat back down in the corner.

I pulled the thin threads of the hospital sheets around me as a protective layer against reality. I heard Olivia open a magazine and scrunched up my face. Oh, if only I hadn’t wasted so much time getting ready and writing the note! Then I wouldn’t be here, experiencing this. Fuck me, I was so upset about being a failure I even failed to kill myself, the one thing I’ve always counted on succeeding at. Why not try it Olivia’s way, then? Hell, I’d even try religion or other hard drugs if it made these emotions go away.

It’s a shame I gave up smoking, a little hit of nicotine would be just the stuff to cap off this mess of a morning. And Olivia’s right, I’ve never tried living, really. Only hid behind a succession of masks; each more absurd than the last. Be a writer! Be alive! Be Happy! Ha! Cheap fantasy designed to negate myself. When I feel ready to leave this place, I will throw away all the dresses and the makeup, put on the cargo pants and the flannel, and be the man Olivia wants me to be. Who knows, it might even be fun this time.

THE END
