A Thousand Times
Summary:
A cobbled-together series of snippets from an unrealized story in which Legolas and Gimli struggle through adversity, plan to go on a quest, and get married many, many times. (Most of it is just that last part.) Unfinished work, posted for Good Intentions WIPFest 2023.
I held onto this story for so long even though I think I'd kind of given up on it about two months in - but there's some writing here I desperately wanted to share, so finally, for @goodintentionswipfest this year, I am letting it into the world. It is sketchy and full of outliney bits, but it also contains some writing I'm very proud of. If you take a chance on it, I hope there are bits you'll enjoy, at least!

Gather up your ghosts!
Reminder that Good Intentions WIP Fest is coming up on October 31st! Dredge up those stories taking up space in your documents and in your mind and release them to the world! Let us see all that writing that would otherwise be denied to your readers! Let your dead come out to play!
Full event information is linked above, but the basics are: this is a time for your to post all those abandoned WIPs that you're never going to finish. Post them to this AO3 collection with the tag "Abandoned Work - Unfinished and Discontinued"; post them to Tumblr with the tags "good intentions wipfest" and "good intentions 2023;" and @ me here if you want them reblogged to this account.
This is a fest for people like me, who would rather have some of an amazing fic (or piece of art) than none of it at all. It's an invitation to free yourself from your guilt - and it's an invitation to readers to take a chance, read a story, and talk to an author. Who knows - maybe inspiration will strike again! Or at least you might learn how the story was going to end.
This fest is generally tailored to fics, but all unfinished work is welcome. Check out the FAQ for more information, or feel free to send me an ask if you have another question!
#good intentions 2023#should i do like badges in future years? for reading/commenting on unfinished work?#for posting unfinished work?#food for thought...feedback welcome!

untitled blind date fic fandom: star trek voyager pairing: janeway/seven rating: m word count: 9454 additional tags: abandoned work - unfinished and discontinued
I originally conceived of this fic over a decade ago. The premise was that Tom made a kind of Voyager-based OK Cupid algorithm for friendships or romance, for crew enrichment during a boring sector of space. Naturally Janeway and Seven got paired up, but Janeway thought Seven got matched with a fake profile that she'd made up when in reality it was her real one. Shenanigans!
Obviously I never finished it, for various reasons. I think I never knew what tone to take, and it seemed to lend itself to a more schmoopy vibe than I could ever pull off, and also had more plot than I could handle at the time. But there are bits I still really like, so it's getting posted for the @goodintentionswipfest so those can see the light of day.

Posted this one a little while ago, but does an abandoned fic even know time...? (Answer: clearly not.)
The premise of the fic is a what-if? canon-divergence idea where both Gandalf and Aragorn die in Moria, leaving the Fellowship to struggle on without either of their leaders.
And unfortunately, I did not leave any notes for my future-self when I started working on it originally, so every time I've tried to go back to it since my initial burst of work has run into the roadblock of my having no (middle-)earthly idea what was meant to HAPPEN?
I still don't know, but here's the immediate aftermath at least, while the Fellowship tries to pull themselves together in Lórien and figure out how to go on with the Quest without Aragorn or Gandalf there to guide them. We make it as far as the Anduin...
And there we leave them, to sink or swim as chance wills.
@goodintentionswipfest
#if anybody else feels like picking up the threads of this story you have my permission btw#i'm also very much open to having ideas thrown my way#and who knows? maybe after my much-more-divergency celebrimbor-joins-the-fellowship-au that i'm working on now finishes#i'll have more ideas of what the hell to do with this story. we'll see!#at any rate i think even unfinished there's still some bits in here worth reading (and thank you everyone who encouraged me to share it)#(especially you roselightfairy for telling me about this in the first place!)#such as: merry being a practical badass#boromir and gimli and legolas getting some bonding-time#frodo literally stitching-up boromir after he gets wounded#and legolas being his delightful cryptid self and creeping everyone else by being able to recognize the taste of orc-poison in blood#good intentions wipfest#good intentions 2023#my writing#my stuff#lotr fanfiction#lotr au#two fell into shadow au

Cellbit: You think the Cucurucho that likes you is the like, cheerleader one or is it the gun one?
Jaiden: Um, I- I'll be honest, I think both of them like me.
Cellbit: Wow, ok.
Jaiden: What can I say, I'm just super friendly.
Cellbit: Yeah...
Jaiden: [Laughs]
Cellbit: You know, Cucurucho liking you isn't that much of like, a good thing, ok? Just don't- don't get like, super–
Jaiden: No, I mean like, I'm not- I'm not saying that, you know, I like him back or anything, I'm just saying that they- they have a soft-spot for me. Whatever that means.
[ Full Transcript ↓ ]
—
Cellbit: How is your relation with Cucurucho going? Like, have you seen him recently?
Jaiden: Uhhh, what do you mean?
Cellbit: 'Cuz you have like, a rocky relationship with him, don't you?
Jaiden: Yeah, yeah, yeah, last- last time we- I– he took me away for a bit, but uh... It's been, you know, normal. I feel like he treats me the same as he does everyone else. Yeah, he gave me a task.
Cellbit: What's your task?
Jaiden: To research rhinos.
Cellbit: Oh, yeah, you told me about that! [...] You think the Cucurucho that likes you is the like, cheerleader one or is it the gun one?
Jaiden: Um, I- I'll be honest, I think both of them like me.
Cellbit: Wow, ok.
Jaiden: What can I say, I'm just super friendly.
Cellbit: Yeah...
Jaiden: [Laughs]
Cellbit: You know, Cucurucho liking you isn't that much of like, a good thing, ok? Just don't- don't get like, super–
Jaiden: No, I mean like, I'm not- I'm not saying that, you know, I like him back or anything, I'm just saying that they- they have a soft-spot for me. Whatever that means.
Cellbit: Yeah, when– like, if you ever see them with a chainsaw, you know, you probably want to go to the other direction, that's just like, an experienced hint I can give you.
Jaiden: Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Cellbit: But I don't think they would do that to you, they seem to have like, their own preferences and stuff.
Jaiden: Yeah, I mean, they've only done that to you, so they must– they just really don't like you.
Cellbit: Yeah, but they kinda like did some shtty things to other people, they shot Bagi, they shot- they shot most of the Island, at this point.
Jaiden: Yeah, they did, they did shoot Bagi. That's- that's not good.
Cellbit: Maybe they just like Hatsune Miku, and they- they confused stuff.
Jaiden: That is true! Actually, they're– I don't even know if this is like, who this is in the Federation, but someone um... Mouse was like, showing me a picture of– Sorry, I have to tab in. [She punches Cellbit] Um... [Laughs]
Cellbit: Ow, that was rude! [Chuckles]
Jaiden: I had to tab in! [Laughs] My Animal Crossing music had to restart!
Cellbit: [Laughs]
Jaiden: Mouse was saying that someone in the Federation uh, was placing tiny Hatsune Mikus in there, so someone in the Federation likes Hatsune Miku.
Cellbit: Hmm... That explains a lot, then.
Jaiden: [Laughs] What do you mean? No it doesn't!
Cellbit: No, no. Now I understand that it's a whole– it's a whole scheme, it's a whole corruption scheme, now I understand.
Jaiden: Ah no, it's not corruption–
#Jaiden Animations#Cellbit#QSMP#Cucurucho#(Mentioned)#Jaiden#October 7 2023#Cucurucho / Osito did care about her in a weird way#Probably because at some point in the past she (apparently) helped them#But I think a lot of people underestimate how much Jaiden realizes what's going on re: Cucurucho isn't a GREAT guy#Like to a certain extent yeah she's more on the side of wanting to believe in Cucurucho (again: to some extent)#And I specifically say Cucurucho here; not the Federation; because those are two separate things to her#However she's still very much aware of the bad stuff#I always loved seeing Cellbit and Jaiden talk about Cucurucho because their contrasting perspectives were always so interesting#Jaiden trying to read Cucurucho's actions with good intent (once again: to some extent) and trying to see him in a positive light#vs. Cellbit reading Cucurucho's actions with ill intent – both as an entity and as a representation of the Federation and all it stands for#(VERY understandably)#anyways I just think it's neat!#Good conversation

I was robbed of what could’ve been an amazing star crossed lovers romance of two people from another world, it didn’t even need to be romance, I just wish that the star could’ve been this amazing character design of a boy with a glowing cape made of a galaxy, instead we got another quirky marketable star plushie that I kept forgetting was in the movie half the time
#disney wish#wish 2023#starboy#star x asha#princess asha#disney 100#wish asha#DISNEY WHY#YOU COULDVE MADE A GOOD MOVIE FOR ONCE#all of the puns were intentional jsyk#I could not get asha to look right in this#omgosh#asha x star

Monday blues are hitting me hard today
#you can ignore this if you want cause im gonna talk a lot of shit and sads and feelings#but as i’ve realised i literally have no one to empty my heart out to irl#and it’s fucking heartbreaking cause i love my friends but I don’t think they love me back#which is an insane though but I genuinely think it’s true like#i moved away 4 ish months ago and i know that communication comes from both side but like i wanted to test smt#so i stopped texting first and guess what?? only 2 friends texted me#1 because she’s genuinely a good friend i think and the other because she needed money (which i gave her like a fucking fool)#my heart just hurts cause i realised i’m not as important to them as they are to me and I’m completely misreading our relationship and#it sucks because I thought they were going to be my friends for life but now they’re all posting recaps of 2023 and im in none of their pics#even in pics where i was present at the time#and i dont know if it’s intentional or if im just being an insecure little bitch but it fucking hurts#i just want to be important to someone#i want to be someone’s person#not a last resort like#they keep doing stuff together which i get like life moves on and i’m the one that left#but not a single text or a pic or a ‘we miss you!’#not even a fucking heart on insta stories#am i being desperate?? or do I actually have shitty friends#like i have impostor syndrome in my own fucking friendgroup???#I can’t just drop them either cause then I’ll actually have no one#idk i must exude some sort of energy#i dont think ive ever had a genuine good best friend like for some reason they leave after 3 years#(and this is why i have trust issues and attachment disorders)#anyway I’ll probably just suck it up and go about my day#ive lived 24 years like this what’s an entire life#it’s wild cause i have a good time whenever i’m with them (i think) and then i leave and it’s crickets#i feel like hired entertainment sometimes#idk my head hurts so I’m probably overthinking but like these feelings come from somewhere right?#i have to stop

having one of those moments where i am severely dissapointed in dfk 2023
#das fliegende klassenzimmer#das fliegende klassenzimmer 2023#just watched the interviews#it feels like what was bad about the movie was part of the exact intentions in making it and that feels so disappointing#like are you telling me the good parts were byproduct or what#yes of course maximizing a conflict that makes no sense was our intention. <3 the classroom is a good way to comment on society at large#am i misunderstanding something or are you?????#and carolina hellsgård said she didnt really have all the other adaptations in mind while making this one like please 😭#maybe not all of them but you very clearly had dfk 2003 in mind did you not#and oh my godddddddddddddddddddd she does not get it. she DOES NOT get it SO BAD#'dfk is an action story a classic cinema story i saw a lot of potential there with the kidnapping and the big fight'#oh my god !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#'theres not really a reason for their conflict. much like there often isnt really a reason for conflict between different groups in society#THATS your reason??!!???#sorry im getting all wrapped up in this. explodes into a thousand pieces and has to be sweeped up from the floor#dfk#mine
