Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

“I made her feel powerless, I knocked her down and— and she still makes me feel scared.” —Satoru, So Find One And Seize It, Chapter 5

So a consequence of rereading Chapters 4 and 5 of SFOASI from The Odyssey series by the utterly incredible HotCocoaaa ( @biscaanii ) and then listening to Hawk in the Night by Maddie Buckley soon afterward is getting immediate brainrot for the most depressingly brutal piece I could start 2024 with. It worked too well for the Gojo Clan, especially Cocoa's rendition of Satoru and his grandmother, Akemi. She's a terrible woman and she fascinates me.

Go read this series guys it's so great—

So this is just an idea that's been haunting my brain and I needed to get it down on paper. Will this be a full fic? fuck knows, man.

Somewhere in the underbelly of the black archives, the Zygons and the humans are attempting negotiations between their races in an attempt to bring peace. Normally, this would enrage Sutekh. He is a god of death - nay, The God Of Death, note capitals - but he is a little bit distracted at present.

Because there are three of him in this room right now.

Three exact copies of him, each one bound to one of the three TARDISes sitting in a room in the National Gallery. He's seen some shit in his time, being an immortal god, but this? This is weird, even for him.

This, he thinks, is what the Doctor must feel like, and a shudder of revulsion goes through him at even empathising with the Time Lord.

Hello to my beautiful humans,

In wake of this troubling time, due to the election in America, I want everyone to know this is a safe space.

Because of this, I’m reaching out to offer an outlet for you to escape. I would love to write more fanfics, whether short/long or headcannons.

I love you all and please note, if you just need to chat or vent, my inbox is always open. Please take care, stay safe and do not lose hope.

Much love,

Paige

happy thursday! I missed wip wednesday bc I was busy crying at a concert but here's the teensiest glimpse at the random bits and pieces I jot down in my notes app when inspiration strikes at all the wrong times hehe✨

special shoutout to the man that sat next to me on the train today and almost definitely watched me feverishly write stargirl mating ceremony smut for twenty minutes 👍🏽

So I’ve been reading by @meesterblu called “The Boy with the Moon on His Chest, and Other Tales.” It and it’s inspired me to draw a few scenes. Not finished with the other two yet but wanted to share some of it now.

This was a small scene but I still enjoyed it. It made me smile at the adorable sibling dynamic between Usopp and Reiju. She may think that she is still learning to be human but she has protective older sibling role down pat.

What are you doing up so late, Tucker?

Fanart of @illusion-of-sea-axes's amazing fic Lazarus Left the Tomb!

[purplepenntapus]

Im sorry I love the Zoro Mihawk Perona dynamic but the fandom trend of turning it into “Mihawk adopts Zoro and Perona as children and raises them” makes me want to die

[drakulana]

i may or may not be writing something about a special one piece boy that aligns w this song 🤭🫣

might be very angsty...and toxic tehe

Been really into making fake book covers recently, so I decided to make one for Smoke Break by @areseebee

Nobody’s posted a Singin’ in the rain fic on AO3 since March and I kinda wanna fix that…

[jichanxo]

hey i'm back to be annoying about sensei fic i don't remember if you've talked about that before (i think you did), and also i'm afraid that it may be considered as a spoiler (?), but! how much of amasawa and itokura's story will you include here? (they are very important to me, your honour) (the potential of parallels to kwgm is here as well and everything)

never annoying! I’m enjoying writing my paragraphs of rambling, so thank you more under the cut again lol. spoilers for lost judgment and also my own fic i suppose lmao

this is kind of difficult to answer because I don’t want to overpromise anything… I am unfortunately a “fuck it we ball” writer which means I am not really used to planning anything at all really (which is why I write mostly oneshots. I usually write everything blind) and that means that while I have ideas about what I want to do, I can’t really say anything definitive until I feel out my plans more concretely…

for what it’s worth though, I’d be shocked if amasawa and itokura didn’t appear the most out of everyone (aside from yagami and kitakata), since the mrc is effectively the centrepiece of both plots: being the main reason kitakata and yagami see each other, and of course I’m going to try and make an altered version of the school story plot work here. I expect there’ll be more of them than kaito and sawa, certainly…

one of the planned major beats in the kuwagami plot is having yagami actually let kitakata in on the professor investigation and not just blow him off. he might think that kitakata will just get in the way, but he has to accept that kitakata’s interest in the investigation and care for his students is legitimate and valid! keeping him in the dark and ignoring how he feels is wrong! anyway. my point is, that to resolve this plot beat, it’s unavoidable to talk about itokura and the professor, so no matter how I end up getting there, itokura (and by extension amasawa) are going to be crucial. you’re right about the parallels angle too… gonna gnaw on that… gotta figure that out… kuwagami but if they were both girls and in highschool and more emotionally intelligent… the idea of kitakata and yagami being a mess and super lame while the kids in the club are much more put together? it’s just too funny to pass up on… I can already imagine itokura complaining to amasawa about how she wishes they would just grow up already.

amasawa and itokura are really great and I also like them a lot! there’s a lot of interesting stuff with them to grab onto, both with canon – yagami’s relationship to them both, and with new stuff – inventing new stuff for them with kitakata! itokura and kitakata especially feel like a surprisingly natural fit – kitakata who wants to make sure no student around him feels the way that kusumoto mitsuru did, and itokura who was estranged and pushed out of school by her peers… it’s a relationship that would be engaging and interesting to develop on both sides… I really can’t pass up on that… so thematically rich… I imagine their relationship rn as being kind of awkward and a little tense. they probably get along best when they’re talking (cough arguing cough) about mystery novels.

one of the things on my to-do list for sensei fic right now (aside from taking thorough notes on school stories and general editing) is definitely trying to feel out this relationship, in particular before yagami enters the picture (@/four-white-trees poked me about this ages ago. thank you!!) presumably kitakata doesn’t let all of that happen to itokura without trying to do something about it, right? and yet, he still fails. yagami’s intervention is the one that brings itokura back to school. hence why I imagine things between them being a little awkward… that shared history…

though I imagine that it piques kitakata’s interest that yagami succeeded where he’d previously failed. So yknow. This Too Is Kuwagami. A surefire way to make kitakata fall in love with you: 1. be hot 2. legitimately care about and take action for the wellbeing of students

anyway! while nothing is set in stone, that’s what I have in mind about amasawa and itokura right now… though most of it ended up being about itokura… there’s still a lot I gotta figure out, but I’m definitely looking forward to poking at them some more! Itokura’s attitude is going to be a lot of fun to write, and amasawa is always a delight, and I love having her be the voice of reason between kitakata and yagami when they’re being ridiculous lol. thank you for the ask o7

Ive been going through a really rough time rn, and i am gonna be completely honest: Gold Rush is one of the only things keeping me going. Every Wed and Sat i keep refreshing around the same time you usually update, and seeing 'next chapter' pop up makes me so happy.

Then it hit me: how much this fic really means to me. Its really helping me take things one day at a time, which is difficult in my situation. This fic is literally like, the one good thing in my life rn. So, thank you. To some it may be a fun fic. But to me, its a reason to keep going and not give up.

:) I'm so happy my little fic can be of so much help
