100 word drabble exercise.
Prompt: taken
He was giggling again. Quietly, under his breath. Marinette pretended not to notice, but she couldn’t stop her own smile.
Across the table, Nino sighed, a pointed look over his glasses. “Adrien, what,” he said flatly, already knowing the answer.
Alya simply rolled her eyes.
Adrien beamed, raising his and Marinette’s already joined hands over the table. The smile made his words lilt at the ends. “She said yes,” he replied, emphasizing their matching charm bracelets with a shake and a lovelorn sigh. “We’re dating.”
Nino’s face held all the exhaustion of an older brother. “So you said. Thirty times.”
Send me one word, I'll write you 100

i am handing in my b.a. thesis (on motherhood in gothic fiction) in a few short days and though i have been complaining about having to write it for six months straight, right now i am actually feeling bereft of future opportunities to write academic papers about my silly little interests. for instance right now i really want to research & write about dracula daily & genre & the impacts of the newsletter format on the narrative (the addition of a timeloop)
i think about format and the specifics of narration a lot when i'm writing my own little things and i loooove when the narration - not just the narrator, but the act of telling the story - is part of the narrative. love when the narration is diegetic! love an epistolary novel (like dracula!) for this reason. should read more of them
inventory by carmen maria machado (short story! read it immediately!) is a GREAT example of this. the format of the narration is so integral to the story. does more than elevate it imo, i would argue the story genuinely wouldn't work any other way
g*d. i'm gonna have to become a video essayist

(if the archives button is supposed to show something significant then it may be broke? (it's showing a "hmm we're having trouble finding that site, cannot connect to the server at c.") if it is not then please disregard this entirely.)
it IS supposed to show the blog archive and i think it did at some point but its broken now and i do not have nearly enough coding knowledge to fix it loll, now it's honestly just there as some extra decoration bc taking it out would 1. involve deleting some code which i want to Avoid now that the thing's actually public & i won't be the only one it breaks for anymore and 2. the desktop's already so empty i dont want it to feel Even Emptier lmao
y'see the thing about that is that it looks very cool and neat and i've learned a lot from working on it but it is so very much held together with duct tape
yesterday i was working on it again & completely broke the ability to interact with the posts directly . i do not have any idea what i did <3 but i managed to last-minute fix an issue that was bothering me for MONTHS (i started putting this together in like. fucking january) so it's an okay tradeoff i think
