LAVA LAMP TIGHTLY BOUND BY THE RED STRING OF FATE, SO HARD THAT IT'S CHOKING HIM?

LAVA LAMP TRAPPED IN A HELL HE THINKS IS OF HIS OWN MAKING?

LAVA LAMP IN A PRISON FORMED FROM POSITIVE INTENTIONS AND A WELL MEANING WISH?

WHEN GOOD IMAGERY GOES BAD???

Lava Lamp so tightly tied by fate that it's captured him from every angle, ever new connection he forms another piece of the prison. And it's all something he blames himself for, so he can't even be mad about it, only desperate as he tries to save the Sakura at the other end of the strings, even if it leaves him tied here. (which it does)

When all along it was Evil Wolverine behind the scenes setting up each of these cords to snag Lava lamp and suffocate him until he has no choice but to take the wish he offers him. 

It’s such a powerful image - him trapped here in the quintessential Tsubasa Syaoran outfit, surrounded by the darkness, seemingly trapped by fate - but the single voice calling out to him from the void was the person who put him here in the first place, and not someone who is interested in helping.

Desperate for a Hebrew translation of the Liaden Universe.

Partly so Israelis can discover this wonderful series… partly so I can practice my own language skills in a fun way…

…but primarily so the book about Anne and Er Thom can be entitled Minhag HaMakom.

And that is a fucking WRAP. Fifty centuries of fiddling, cutting, and editing, and my WIP is no longer IP. Just a W. My delightful agent is leaving it on publishers' doorsteps, setting it on fire, and running away. Now to hope

A) it gets published at all

B) it gets published by an imprint with a fat marketing budget so, you know, bookmarks

C) BIDDING WAR the fucking dream

[addendum!

D: that I get to call it what I want - Snow Or Ashes, and not the title he's submitting it under - Changelings]

Sorry I was so boring about it but you'll thank me when it gets picked up for TV and I get to demand David Castañeda for MMC

These are not the covers. But look how much better my title is

Good thing: dad made soup at the station that I can have some of.

Bad: theres two bowls in the whole building.

Worse: they've been used.

Terrible: I'm left with a small styrofoam cup.

Devastating: and only a fork to eat it with

Turdus aficionados of Costa Rica please know I love your national bird but this is objectively hilarious

(✿◕‿◕) die (ꈍ ꒳ ꈍ✿)

[prouvaireafterdark]

listen I know it's heartbreaking that Claudia dies and it's understandable to wish she didn't, but let's please not accuse the writers of fridging her. to do so is a fundamental misunderstanding of the story and is frankly insulting to the intelligence and skill of the writers of the show.

Claudia's death, and the overwhelming grief and regret her parents experience because of it, is quite literally the point of the entire story. she dies because Anne's daughter Michele died of leukemia when she was five years old and there was nothing she or her husband could do to prevent it.

writing IWTV was how Anne coped with the unimaginable loss of a parent losing her child. she created a story about a little girl that could not die and then killed her anyway. Claudia's death is a senseless, unavoidable tragedy, just like Michele's was. the grief that haunts Louis and Lestat for the rest of their lives is the same grief that haunted Anne and her husband.

so when you're accusing people of killing Claudia off to benefit a story about two men, please remember that in real life sometimes parents lose their children. please remember Michele Rice.

she's the reason Claudia exists.

she's also the reason Claudia cannot be saved.

I do come here for other reasons* than whining about my novel, honestly

*the other reasons, attempting to distract me from whining about my novel:

the difference between mirror me and picture me is like the difference in the hot actor in a historical film vs the real historical figure

Cursed by the impulse to say "[X] is a liberal myth" ironically 24/7 but the People might not know it is ironic and consequently think me one of the capitalism cucks, which would be mighty embarrassing
