I’m rereading what unpublished stuff I have for the Incredibles au and there is... a lot. Oh my goodness. I did not realize how much there was.

I saw Beetlejuice the musical last night and can I please talk about how much whiplash I got sobbing my eyes out to Home then going straight into Creepy Old Guy?

Holy Crow. Gee Whiz.

I do not believe I have ever heard "holy crow" in my life. Search engines indicate it shares a different meaning than this use as synonym for "Holy Cow".

But I guess it popped up in early 50s Archie Comics. And Marvel Comics in 1970. So maybe it was out there. How Archie came to knock it out by 1961 but Marvel had it in 1970 -- Who knows?

I finished all of my coursework for my degree last term and now I never write anymore except like. a date in my planner. I just did almost three chapters of genki in one evening and I can’t feel my fingers.

I got the anniversary email and I've had this blog for three years.

3 years!

And of course, there have been ups and downs. Positives and negatives. And so much has happened.

If it wasn't for this fandom, I don't think I would have made friends in more ways than just obsessing over a musical about dancing cats and how it can be interpreted in different ways and how a commonly despised musical is actually about family, fitting in, and more.

And how can we forget about the fantastic artists, writers, headcanon makers, oc creators, and all-around some of the nicest people I think I have ever met in fandom.

Oh and before I forget! I love you guys! 😁

WOAH

the solo rerecording of "Masquerade Butterfly" has SUCH a different vibe than the Ecthelion recording??

they're both so interesting, and from two totally different auditory / music theory perspectives!! the different instrumentation and layering in both recordings, the different vocal performances, the noise and distortion in each...

Chapter 1: Stars | Read on Ao3

At first, you think you can survive this. Your ship is in pieces, your momentum catapulting you away from the wreck, the planet you call Alchera watching serenely as your life burns. You tell yourself, you’ve faced worse. The first time you fought death was the first breath you took, into lungs that weren’t ready, in a body too small and fragile to survive on its own. You struggled for days in a vessel adrift between our stars, an insignificant speck of heat in our cold universe, determined to burn as bright as a sun. When your mother finally held you for the first time, she showed you to us and asked if we were what you were in such a hurry to see for yourself. You have always been ours. You were ours when your father sang you to sleep while we gleamed through the shutters. You were ours when you rose for the first time on unsteady legs because you wanted to see us. You were ours when you felt our power come to life under your skin and understood that we are part of you in ways you’d never imagined. How many times did you palm the glow of dark matter in your hand and imagine you were one of us? But no matter how bright you burn now, it won’t be enough to save you. There is fear, now, but you swallow it back.    The second time you fought death it wasn’t your life you were fighting for. You begged, pleaded, to march into the unknown and rescue a father who didn’t come home, and when no one listened, you turned to us in the dark and begged to take his place. That was when you learned we could be cruel.   We felt your pain, we heard your anger, we wi ditnessed your tears and did nothing. And you forgave us. We wonder if you will forgive us now.
