You're not exactly what I'd call a political profile so why involve yourself with the Palestine war. Look the middle east is in war all the time how is this any different? If those morons are going to just keep killing each other then I say let them.
... This actually kinda makes me want to cry a little at how ignorant that comment was.
It's not a war, its genocide flat out GENOCIDE. The people of Palestine have done nothing wrong, simply because the people of Israel believe they are the "Chosen people" or the fact that they want the Palestinian land and thus came to the stupid conclusion that Palestinians are unworthy of life or should be purged simply for existing. They are fucking monsters, every single one of them and are hiding behind lies, money, and religion to keep things going their way. You probably think I'm racist for saying that Israel is a terrorist state or that it's all evil, well let me tell you this.
They don't care that 40% or more of Palestinians slaughtered are children.
They don't care that the survivors are starving to death.
They don't care that most they have slaughtered couldn't even fight back.
They are actively trying to sell stolen Palestinian land to get U.S. civilians to promote them as the good guys.
They are actively spreading online propaganda that the Palestinians are "getting what they deserve".
The are also spreading TikTok propaganda to show the IDF as true heroes just like how the U.S. uses TikTok to promote the military as "totally awesome" and not lame or psychologically damaging at all.
And they want everyone to feel bad about badgering them for causing the genocide in the first place. THEY WAN'T YOU TO FEEL BAD ABOUT GETTING MAD AT THEM FOR COMMITTING GENOCIDE! HOW MUCH MORE FUCKING PETTY CAN THEY GET?
Everyone hated the German Nazi's under Hitler and like to talk about how much of a stupid shit he was. Yet when modern Nazi's like white Neo Nazi inbred fucks or petty ass Isralian Nazi shits show up suddenly the Western media and almost everyone in the world just wants to turn their heads and focus on other stuff. Worst off some are even willing to say Israel are the victims or really their geocide is justified, its absolute bullshit. They there are people like you that clearly don't understand the situation.
Your right I'm not a political Tumblr blogger I just like to reblog that stuff so everyone can stop ignoring the blatant genocide that is happening. Barely anyone focuses on them anyways, but I still do it, why? Because I can't stop, no I won't stop. I'll never stop until this conflict is over and Israel pays for what it's done. Even if that never happens, I'll never let them forget or let their children forget the monsters they were.
I know I'm barely making a difference in the end, but I don't care. Until it's over I'll keep saying it, Israel is a Terrorist State.
Never Forget Palestine's Pain!
Never Forgive Israel's Crimes!
Long Live Palestine!
From the river to the sea Palestine will be free!

Hey. Please please please don't do anything drastic. I know it seems really dark right now, and it is. Yesterday was a horrible day for everyone and it will continue to be hard as we all process. But it's so so so important that you keep on living through that.
One half of this that is absolutely true is that you need to keep on living to spite them. You need to live longer than him and laugh when he's gone. Your life in itself is resistance and that's infinitely valuable.
The other half is that, no matter if you believe this or not right now, the world would be darker without you. I mean this really and truly. I don't know you in real life so I can't speak to that, but you bring a lot of positivity and unique views to the trigun fandom. Your reblogs are how I found a lot of the trigun blogs I now follow. Your comments and discussions on Rem make me happy to read, just grinning in real life because someone cares so much about a character that needed more time. It's simple stuff really, but that's what's important. Even people you've never spoken to like me are positively impacted by your life. And that increases tenfold for people who know you in real life that you do speak to and that love you and want you around no matter if they say it out loud or not.
Please keep living. You bring something unique to this world and you're a nice person, which goes for a lot these days. And if you can't believe that, live for spite, just for now, and maybe the other stuff can come later.
Please live. I'm sorry for being so long winded but you really do have a much bigger impact than you could ever see without someone telling you and I want you to know.
We can all get through this and you're not alone. Being together is how we can find strength. So stay and be together with us. Please.
I'm sorry for the long ask. Just want to make sure you at least hear this stuff. You're important.
I do need to get on the phone with my therapist. It's just... I feel like the hits just keep on coming, neverending in my life. This hope to have the first ever Madame President and to not have a man in office (again) who shows all signs of going full fascist - it is bringing up grief in such a way that it seems to be bleeding into my lingering grief over a family-loss I had last year. I'm feeling similar ways. Last year, my nephew died (adult, just on the cusp of 40, my partner's nephew). He was my best friend, my gaming buddy and we were the three amigos on holidays and whatnot. We had him up for almost an entire year on Covid-lockdown living with us. He got me through my partner's heart-attacks when he had those in previous years. Matt was the one who broke the news to me that there was going to be a new Trigun anime because he knew I basically lived and breathed Trigun back in the day and still counted Vash as my personal hero. And then, in January '23, he was gone - cause of death unknown, probably his heart giving out - because he had some health issues. I basically had to go through that. I've been feeling like I've just gotten to pulling myself out of the muck of that, was just starting to feel better (with some random meloncholy still hitting me), and now I'm running into yet another big thing that's making me think "What is life even for?" - There's no justice here. I have no power. There is no rhyme or reason. I also lost a couple of aunts during Covid times, both eldery - one to the disease itself, another through something unrelated, both in 2021. I wasn't as close to them anymore, but it hurt. I had to go into inpatient psychiatric in 2021 because some misunderstandings, a huge fight, a dogpiling (of me) and a public tumblr callout post in one small niche area of the She-Ra fandom just made me lose it. I was accused of plagerism (not true. There was a misunderstanding with someone regarding idea-exchange and what I was allowed use in roleplays on a small roleplay discord. I did legit read things wrong, but it's not like I ganked someone's ideas for a publically available fanfic or was trying to "steal their characters" like they whined to everyone in the fandom about), but because anyone accuses of that, immedately everyone else will side with them and not even look further into it, I was suddenly losing friends - I freaked out, myself and got to harassing some people in a defensive snarl - and then some asshole had to take it off the discords and make it public, which meant I was shunned by an entire fandom and was basically told that I was human garbage and believed it. I did something untoward to myself and had a little hospital stay. The person who intervened to save my life was that now-deceased nephew. And so, I've just been going through hit after hit, some of it being hangover from "We all got crazy under Trump and under Trump's attempts to get back into power" and now... that's a thing again... I am also on Social Security / Disability and am worried about my future. I worked very hard to get it and it might go away. My partner was on the cusp of getting it until they raised the retirement age and who knows he might not get it. We might die freezing under a bridge, I don't know. There is always the question of "Well, now or later?" that looms in the mind. "Murdered by the State or go on my own terms?" I want to be brave like Vash and Rem, but they are fiction and I don't know if I am capable of their strength of heart. Thank you for talking to me.

Hello! I've been here for a while and seeing how much you've been through so far makes me sad that you've experienced so much sad shit. I recently came back to your blog since I wasn't on Tumblr for a while(I've been following you for sometime now) and decided to snoop around for a bit to see what I missed, congratulations on 10k followers btw🥺. Also I'm sorry in advance this will probably be long knowing how I can go on for a while.
Some things you've been through I can relate to, my family isn't a step family but it's definitely incredibly dysfunctional and can be shitty. It's almost 4am here so excuse any mistakes I make in writing this, I literally told myself if I didn't send this to you now I'm not gonna be able to later so I'm fighting sleep. Also your friendships I'm sorry you're stuck with people who don't deserve you in just about every aspect ☹️.
You seem like such a genuine sweetheart. I had an experience with a friendship I wanted to end before and I remember being the same as you were, wanting to stay in that friendship but couldn't leave because I was so attached to that person. I thought the end of the world was gonna happen when I left because I was so codependent on them. But I realized that the feelings I had when it came to them shouldn't be taken lightly, the bad feelings, every single one should never be taken lightly. I'm not gonna sit here and make any promises towards you that certain things are gonna be perfect but I can at least say that it's gonna be okay. Not just when but comes to friendships but living apart from your family. I know you've probably heard this shit a million times but you're not gonna be stuck in the same situation forever. If you have decided to leave that friendship I hope you felt the relief I did when I left mine, if you haven't decided to yet, you most likely will feel relieved even if there's always gonna be a longing for the good moments you might have had before, don't let the good distract you from all the bad.
When we all are teenagers or were teenagers, we are constantly told how grown up we have to act that we forget how young we really are. You are 19, you are so incredibly young and you have so much time to become whoever or whatever you want to become. I remember Jane Fonda saying that if you can't do something in your 20s,30s,40s or even 50s, you can still do it in your 60s. I DON'T mean that you won't accomplish all you desire now, because I'm sure you'll definitely get there, but you have a lot of time to get there, to think, to breathe, to exist, to have fun, to have new experiences.
Please remember that you haven't even met all the people who are gonna love you yet. You have so many people who will enter your life later on, as long as you allow them to enter and stay, that can and will love you so much.
If your family is shitty or weird, then you can have your own family, family is not defined to me by blood but by love. So I'm not telling you become pregnant or anything, but your friends can be your family, people you meet along the way can always become family, maybe even family members you'll eventually meet again will rekindle your family relationship.
I'm a bit forgetful (ADHD and trauma not a good combo)so I'm trying to remember what else I was gonna add omg.
You're a sweet girl, you're incredibly talented, if your desire is to become a writer then you're perfect for it already. Honestly I live by, "if Colleen Hoover and Anna Todd can write and publish those damn books, you damn well can too." And I know your books won't suck like theirs do. Full offense to Colleen Hoover fans btw🙃 I expect if you're reading stuff by mommypieck then your taste isn't bad.
Anyway this has been so long and I don't want to overwhelm you, so I'll end it for now, stay safe, and I hope you have a beautiful forever because just wishing you one day isn't enough💖🥺💖.
i am at loss of words.i seriously don't know what to say. thanku so much for this message. it means a world to me really. i am so happy that i have people here who stick with me and actually care what i have to say.i kinda feel bad that you spend so much time, typing all of this. but you seriously gave me hope for better life. thanku so so so so so much. i love u and i appreciate you. thank you again.

decided to play and finish tales of the abyss for the very first time... in actuality i did not quite finish it as i made it to the final dungeon, failed 10 times at the solo asch fight due to being horrendously bad at video games, and gave up & experienced the rest via the let's play on lparchive (which id already been skimming for all the obtuse side quests i missed)
regardless, i ended up surprisingly conflicted on this one... i watched the anime adaptation as a teen and remember really liking it and ive osmosised the game as one of the best tales but in practice it's like. half something im extremely into and half really not.
when the plot is focused on the score and the replicas and the themes of self determination from both those angles are coalescing it's like yes!! epic!! thinking about van's scheme and the idea of putting faith in an exact copy of the world & all its people to live on while you die along with the original... just like SOMA! 🥰 - me when something is just like SOMA.
but then as soon as i start having to button through whole convos about fonic resonance or sephiroths or whatever the fuck my mood just plummets and im like
Tumblr media
"what it's like playing tales of the abyss when you're gay and dumb and still don't know what a fonon is 40 hours in"
as an established jrpg liker i do have some built in resistance to sf/f jargon but i dunno. smth about this feels so much harder to follow than what's typical for tales...
and i feel the same kind of split opinion about the characters like this game has me by the throat with what jade and guy have going on but the rest of the party simply does Not hit for me. luke is interesting as a vehicle for the plot & its existential questions i guess but as an actual character. not so much. same with asch. and all 3 of the girls feel weak in the ranks of tales girls. tear in particular is so boringg 😭 im perfectly willing to open my heart to basic-ass "responsible no nonsense woman who secretly loves cute things" type characters but only if they have literally anything going on besides that!!
not to mention that abyss is pretty aesthetically blah for a tales game... even if i did play the 3ds version, on which to quote a popular tumblr post "a polygon has never looked worse", ive seen a bunch of the original too and it just looks so washed out & there's so few truly memorable locations in this world to begin with. symphonia was the same gen and it had a better desert town, faaar better snow town, fun amusement park locale, etc. i suppose abyss does have its own carnival type place but a ton of players will never even see it so like. 😐
i dunno. it was a real ups and downs experience for sure. glad to finally get to it though after all these years. maybe i am on my way to finally becoming a non-fake tales fan. we shall see!

39, 40, 43
& hellooooooo how are you bby? i asked many questions because i LOVE hearing about your writing process and all the tidbits you share
Aw, thank you bby! I love answering questions about my writing, it's so much fun. Please feel free to send more!
39. Is any aspect of your writing process inspired by other writers or people? If so, who?
Um...no, actually. My writing and my writing process is all me
40. Do you tend to reread fics or are you a one-and-done kind of person?
Oh yeah. I mainly tend to reread my own fanfics but there are some that I go back to like ALL the time. There's one fic for the CSI: Miami fandom that I've visited like...120 times? I mean, there are like 22 chapters so like, majority of the visits comes from like reading each chapter but like...still
43. If you take/write prompts: what’s your favorite prompt fic that you’ve written?
Ooo...see now this is hard...I've gotten a lot of really good prompts when I used to take prompts...so it's hard to choose. So I'll just give you a few of my faves.
The Moon Shines Bright Over the Woodlands - Elven au
Eye for an Eye - Mafia au
My Everything - hurt/comfort
Chen Yuzhi is MINE - Possessive/Jealous Jiang Yuelou
"Z" for Zhan - Assassin au
Blood In, Blood Out - Mafia au
Violence Is Never the Answer...Except When It Is - Mafia au
Wait, We're Married?! - first ever Devil Judge au
questions for fic writers | send me asks
And then you had tagged me in the "Fanfic Author Asks" so I will answer your question here
42. How do you get over writer's block?
Ah, now this a good question...the only time I ever really had "writer's block" was when I was in a really bad mental headspace. And what I did then was I had gone home to see my family then for like a short vacation (I also had a job interview back home so it like kinda worked out) but I basically like just unplugged/relaxed/spent time with family (and we had all gotten covid at the time so we REALLY spent time together). But yeah, just unplug, go for a walk, get some sun, eat something, hug a friend/family member...just do not think about your work/fic. And I know that's gonna be hard because it's going to be like a looming, negative nagging shadow in the back of your mind, but you gotta beat it off with a stick and just let yourself relax.
Because with me, when I was fighting with my fic Monster Like Me, I basically worked on it for SO LONG and put so much pressure on myself for the fic to be GOOD that I basically sabotaged myself (and ended up deleting the outline/draft to give myself a completely new slate). Sometimes you gotta just step away and breathe.
But also, there's this thing I've seen going around tumblr that's like "if you have writer/art block for longer than a certain period of time, you should probably see a doctor because you're depressed" so like...yeah. If writer's block persists longer than normal for you (if you ever get writer's/art block)...maybe go see a professional if you can't get excited about your work. Or go read someone else's work. Maybe that'll bounce you back. Either way, taking a step back from your own work and letting yourself breathe and think will do a lot better than you sitting and staring at your screen forcing your story to work. Force never works with fics. Ever. I've learned the hard way. If they don't wanna work, they won't.

TWENTY SIX
"Dresden, you alive?"
The wizard gave Nate a vaguely offended look as the mastermind trotted briskly down the spiral stairs. Harry was freshly showered and shaved, his hair still damp; there were faint shadows under his eyes and he was moving gingerly, but he was up. "Bacon will bring anyone to life," he declared smartly, taking the place that had been reserved for him at the table. There was every sort of breakfast goodie readily available, including fresh coffee from a brand-new French press on the counter.
Eliot finished cleaning up from a bout of stress-cooking, and sat at the table at about the same time Nate did. "How are we doing this?"
"What are we doing?" Hardison added. "I'm still not sure what the con is. Or the mark."
"The mark is the man in black," Nate declared as he sipped on some coffee, grimaced, and began to load it up with sugar until Sophie took the pot away from him. "He's trying to get his hooks in on Fedorov. I'm sure no one here needs to be told why that's a bad idea, after everything we've seen with Dresden."
"You do not want organized crime and magic mingling. You'll never dig them out, and you'll never win a fight against them again," the wizard confirmed.
"So, we need to show the man in black that Fedorov, that Boston, is not up for grabs. That this is a cookie jar that will take his fingers off if he keeps reaching into it. We're gonna do that by hitting him where it hurts - his public image as an unbeatable force of magic, a master manipulator. We're taking the portrait back."
"In front of a dozen supernatural creatures?!"
"Unless you can invite a few more," the mastermind suggested casually, leaving the wizard gaping at him. "Now, the fact he had an invitation on him means this is not his party, he's a guest at it. So this is probably a variation of a Zanzibar Market, with multiple items being sold. The sheer amount of information we can't access hints that this involves mostly, er, Dresden's sort of people. I would like to know who all the players are, but I'll take whatever we can get. Dresden, can those invitations be reasonably counterfeited?"
Harry shrugged. "Yeah. Other than the tracker it's just fancy paper and ink. Pretty writing. The guest list is the problem."
"The list is the least of our problems," Nate corrected him. "Do you know why there was a crumpled envelope matching one of those invitations in his pocket?" Nate pointed a piece of buttered toast at the bank of screens. "The Christie's man threw it at him."
"He was less than thrilled to be so openly invited to bid on stolen goods," Sophie pointed out with the most delicate undertone of scorn. "The British will buy such items, of course, but they don't like to be reminded of how they've been acquired to begin with. It tarnishes the image of rightful ownership."
"Now, the man in black knows Parker, Eliot, you, Dresden, and me. That means we only have two people for this con. Sophie's going with Fedorov. Get a feel for the guests, see if you can pull a Kennedy Half-Dollar on them."
"Ooo, I do so love a good Half-Dollar game," the grifter declared giddily.
"No unnecessary risks, Sophie." She pouted at him and hid behind her coffee cup. "Parker, Hardison." Nate laced his hands before his face. "The portrait." The table exploded into exclamations, everyone demanding information. "Stop!" the mastermind all but shouted. "Yes, it's probably going to be very publicly displayed. That's the point. It has to disappear in front of everyone there."
Parker suddenly brightened up. "You want us to play his own trick back on him."
"Mm," Nate nodded, and the thief's expression filled with wicked glee. "Hardison, he knows Parker, so you're going in as the new Christie's representative, you'll be Parker's inside man. Dresden."
The wizard looked startled. "Me?"
"Yes. Aside from helping Sophie pass as one of the guests, you're going too."
"I'm - You -" The wizard nearly choked on his orange juice. "You want me, me, to walk into this thing without an invitation."
"Yes."
"They'll recognize me."
"That's the point." Nate pointed a finger. "Eliot's going with you."
"I am?" The hitter sounded dubious.
The mastermind nodded. "He already knows you work with Dresden. And you, you keep bungling whatever it is the man in black's doing, Dresden. I don't need you to do anything, though I do want you to try a few things. I just need you to be there."
Harry paused. "You want his eyes on me," he said slowly as the mastermind's plan came together in his own mind. "Away from what's actually going to be happening. I'm the decoy. You're playing to his paranoia."
"He does seem to be very paranoid, from all Fedorov told us last night."
"And Eliot?"
"You keep getting hurt," Nate said firmly. "That needs to stop."
"Oh, that's been tried," the wizard said wryly. "But alright, give it your best shot." Hesitantly, he added, " Can I suggest a couple of things?"
"Go."
"The ladies from yesterday morning are coming by today to pick up their coats. If their friend's coming with them, you might want to hire him as extra muscle for the auction."
"An outsider?" Sophie protested.
"He won't care what you're doing. You - He's not - You keep thinking of these people as human. They're not. In some cases, like the vampire, like the imp, their motivations run kinda parallel, yes. In this case, if I'm right, they don't. He'll only care that you helped a friend. He'll absolutely care that you're chasing the man in black out of Boston. And he will very much care if you promise him a good chance at a fight."
"You're vouching for someone sight unseen, Dresden," Nate examined the wizard very levelly.
Harry struggled with himself momentarily. "I guess I am."
The mastermind mulled on that for a long moment. "Alright. You and Eliot sort that out. Anything else?"
"Yes. The spider's coming by later to drop off payment. I want to tack a couple of his wife's dresses on it." He glanced at Sophie, then at Parker. "No one's going to be wearing anything that comes even close at that party. Just in case Parker has to join us on the floor, you know?"
Parker gasped in delight. "Is it a magic dress?" When Dresden wouldn't commit to a yes-or-no answer, she snapped at him. "Harry!"
"It's made with magic. It's not magic itself."
She pondered that. "I'll take it."
"And what can you do for me, Harry?" Sophie asked with a smile.
The wizard flustered. "I don't know. I've been wracking my brains for it. Obviously a Veil's the answer, but you're going to be surrounded by some very powerful creatures. The pins would go up in smoke if they so much as breathe in your direction. I can't think of any thing that would hold up under the kind of Veil I'd have to craft for you. It's a lot of energy, it's like Hardison's screens. I'd need something old, something that won't break under the strain."
The table was silent for a long moment, until Sophie spoke once again. "What about a crystal?" she purred. "A crystal with flawless lines. Completely natural, as old as the world. Without a single fracture, without a single imperfection. Unbreakable under pressure."
"I… guess that might work?"
Parker gasped suddenly.
"Parker, can I borrow it?" Sophie asked eagerly.
"Are you going to make my diamond magic?!" she asked Harry with far too much enthusiasm.
"…. Yes?" he offered tentatively.
"Finally!" she cried out, slamming her hands on the table and launching herself away.
TWENTY SEVEN
There was a lot to do before we even got around to the auction. For starters, there was the security around the house, which was purely physical, very modern, and apparently well able to function even with so many magical heavy-hitters around. Hardison and Parker had gone on about it, but as far as I could tell they weren't speaking English. It sounded like it; it just wasn't.
"It's alright," Eliot had assured me quietly while we snuck away to wait for the selkies. "It makes sense to them. That's what matters."
"I still don't know what you people do."
The hitter chuckled low and tipped his chin to the door of the pub. "Get things back for people."
The two selkies came escorted by their friend. As soon as I saw them, I knew I'd been right.
Eliot rose automatically to his feet, his expression hard. "Why'd I just get goosebumps, Harry?"
"Because he's not human," I reminded him. The man was shorter that nearly everyone there but the daughter, his skin copper and indigo ink under a t-shirt and bermuda shorts that barely fit. He wore thin beach flip-flops and was built like the proverbial brickhouse under a layer of comfortable insulation. His eyes were black, and he had a permanent grin that only widened when Sannah snatched her coat from Eliot's hands with a strangled little cry, clinging to it with a white-knuckled grip.
Her mother was far more contained, maybe because she'd probably not believed us when we'd send word that we had both skins. Her fingers plucked gently at the dappled coat and she murmured something rigidly self-controlled in her own language.
Eliot replied in the same tongue, translating for my sake. "It's no problem, ma'am. We're just glad you're gonna be alright, both of you." He dipped his head at both of them, but his smile was brief and didn't show teeth. He was a very quick learner.
She nodded to that, moving to her feet carefully, her daughter by her side. "We go now." Without another word she turned away.
The daughter looked us both up and down. "Guess not all of you suck," she muttered. She shoulder-bumped the man who'd brought them there, who bumped her back amicably, staggering her, and both women walked away.
"What now, Harry?" Eliot asked quietly.
"They'll walk down to the sea and leave." It was the man who replied, a barely perceivable accent to his English. "It's a long time coming." He eyed us both, though he at least did me the courtesy not to linger. "You've done a good thing here. I'm not used to humans doing that."
"You're exceptionally… settled," I pointed out.
To my utter surprise, he laughed. "I like it up here!" he declared cheerfully, grinning at us. His teeth were very white. "It's warm most of the time. The food's good, even when it's bad. No competition. Them, well." He shrugged, glancing at the door. "Some things are just wrong, wizard. If I could have smelled it, I would have hunted down her coat for her a long time ago."
"They're not the only wrong thing in the city right now."
His whole face scrunched up in a grimace. "No. The stink of that one is everywhere, like poison in the water. Maybe I should go home, too. At least for a while. Unless…" He looked at both of us, and his grin turned lopsided and mischievous. "Tell me, wizard. Are you and the human doing something about that, too?"
"We might be," Eliot admitted. "What's it to you?"
The man squared off with him, his face mere inches from Eliot's. I saw the hitter frown minutely, sniffing. I suspected I knew what he was smelling. Salt. Depth. Blood. He didn't budge an inch, but neither did he so much as tense a muscle.
The man laughed in delight and stepped back. "I would wish you luck! It's bound to be a wild ride."
"Ride might have a ticket with your name on it," I suggested when Eliot blinked, confused into speechlessness.
His brows shot up. "Mine? Who told you my name, wizard?"
"Your smell. Your eyes." I considered. "Your lack of shoes."
He groaned and looked down. "Does this ticket require shoes?"
"Yes. But," I assured him, "it's bound to be one hell of a fight."
He got the bright, beaming look of a kid being told he's going to Disneyland. We were told to call him Nick. It fit him about as well as the t-shirt, but I wasn't about to argue with my good luck. He promised to come back when it was time to get ready for the auction and he didn't ask a single question, leaving Eliot even more befuddled.
"Harry, that one," he looked at me levelly while we were going back to the loft. "He eats people, doesn't he."
"And seals, too."
Eliot's mouth worked around too many words, none of which he wanted to put out into the world, not really. "He's… Should I be worried?"
"No. The instruction manual on this one's pretty simple: if there's a fight, get out of his way."
The meeting with the spider went quicker. He came in with his suitcases trailing behind him, and he looked as anxious to be done with us as we were to be done with him. He handed Hardison a brand-new smartphone. "Standard setup, it should be able to do all the things a human phone does." He handed me the two hangers, covered in plain black bags. "I picked two she should not miss. They are not her best, but I hope they are sufficient."
I peeked past the neckline of one of the bags and saw a flash of delicate pink, the color of fresh salmon. "They'll do."
"A pleasure doing business with you," Hardison was doing that thing, where he sounded vaguely British, friendly and threatening at the same time. I had no idea how he was pulling it off, and I would have loved to get him to teach me the trick. The hacker offered his hand.
The spider hesitated, but eventually took it. "Please excuse me. Humans, when I am not in control, they make me nervous."
"Entirely understandable," Hardison replied, and that was wholly Ford he was channeling at that moment, so mild, so potentially lethal. The spider couldn't get out of the pub fast enough.
"You did that on purpose," I told him.
"Hell yeah I did," he agreed with a grin that I couldn't help but return. "I ain't nobody's burger."
I lost track of time while I worked after that. Parker came to get me at the safehouse. Both the window and the garden door had been replaced, and she had some dry-cleaning and a paper bag for me. "Can I see it?" she asked before I could even say 'hello'.
"It's not gonna look any different, you realize."
She scoffed at me and, honestly, what did I know. If someone had told me one day I'd be holding a cut pink diamond the size of one of my knuckles, let alone working a spell into it, I'd have laughed at them while I looked for a quick exit, which is what you should always do when confronted with crazy.
But the Rosalind diamond was exactly that. I know crap-all about gemstones, let's begin there, but I didn't need a formal education to recognize the absolute beauty of the stone. Hell, I didn't need an informal one to know it was one of a kind. Even when I'd looked at it with true sight I'd found no imperfections, no flaws, nothing that might snag or leak or botch the spell I meant to embed into it. Old as the world and completely without fault.
I didn't ask how Parker had gotten it. I may not be a quick learner, but I do learn. Parker offered me the paper bag; it smelled like roasted turkey. "Trade you."
I dismissed my circle and brought the piece of raw silk to the workbench. To be fair, if not because I also had access to some ingredients I would've never been able to afford on my own, I'm not sure I would have attempted the Veil. I uncovered the diamond. In the light of the candles it shone like a fallen star, filling the basement with light.
"You changed it!" Parker exclaimed at once.
I nearly dropped the sandwich she'd brought me. "I did?"
"Yes." She picked it up, silk and all. "It's brighter. It's…" She frowned in puzzlement at the gem. "It's more alive. It speaks louder."
"Uh…"
"It's a thing," she assured me distractedly. "Are you done?"
I pointed out my sandwich.
"Oh, right." She pulled a can out of a pocket and set it next to me.
"Are you nothing but pockets?" I asked her teasingly.
"No. I'm also lockpicks and a taser," she shot right back with that wicked grin, and I nearly choked on the drink. "Is the magic gonna stay in the diamond?"
"Uh, yes and no. It's a nice Veil, probably the best, the strongest I've ever made. And the diamond can hold a lot of energy, much more than I expected. But, the more you use it…"
"The quicker the battery's gonna run out." She sighed, her disappointment obvious.
"You really… You don't care if it's dangerous, or nice, or random, you just like it, don't you? Magic."
"Well, yeah. It makes things make sense."
"It's… Wh- I'm - What?"
"Yeah. Even if you don't understand what's going on, even if it's bad, there's a reason. There's a why. It may be a bad why, but it's a why, you know." She stared at her hands. "Sometimes if you're a kid even a bad reason is worth having. It's better than no reason at all."
"Not everything in the world can be fixed by magic, Parker."
"No, obviously not, or you wouldn't be all beat up," she replied tartly.
"Hey!" I worked on my sandwich some more. "You know, there's a piece of magic you do get to keep forever." Seeing her face light up made everything absolutely worth it. "The dress."
"The dress?"
"The dress."
TWENTY EIGHT
The night of the auction fell warm and breezy, the scent of the Bay a mantle over the city, the Charles lending a kiss of coolness to the river's vicinity. It almost felt like summer in Chicago, except for the salt in the wind and the constant buzz of magic drip-drip-dripping into me. I'd run myself empty preparing everything for the job, and it hadn't made a lick of difference in the long run. I couldn't imagine being a wizard and living permanently in Boston; the city could burn you alive without even trying with its siren's song of unending power.
The auction was taking place in Charlestown, in a gracious manor house tucked out of sight and out of mind among the many newer luxury apartment blocks springing up like mushrooms all over one of the oldest, and wealthiest, of Boston's neighborhoods. The owner, from what any of us had been able to find out, was human. I figured he might be a thrall, either vampiric or fey, but no, the man was just plain ol' human, wealthy and oblivious, like so many could be. In under fifteen minutes Hardison had lined up the family's sins, and while his son had pinged Leverage's radar by dint of being associated with pelt-collecting lawyers, his daughter had hit mine. Or rather, the company she kept while she peddled the family's properties like some sort of supernatural AirB'n'B. While my own field of expertise was limited to the Red Court, and my overall knowledge of the Jade Court was nonexistent, Amethyst Roughan's boyfriend was a known quantity: he was White Court.
"Does she know what she's doing?" Nate had asked.
"Yes and no." I explained. "She knows it's sketchy. She knows it's weird. But depending on how long the vamp's had contact with her, and how much toxin he's doled out, she doesn't care anymore. He's had years with her. At this point all she wants is him. In a biblical fashion."
The mastermind's brows shot up at that. "So she'll side with him."
"Yes. But she's also easy to take out of the game. Hell, you stuff her in a closet and lock the door, and there you have it."
Nate snorted laughter at that. "You sound almost thrilled, Dresden. Glad to have a problem with an easy solution?"
"You have no idea."
And then we had to sort ourselves out according to Ford's plan. Parker took off early. Hardison was doing something to the U-Haul van, I wasn't sure what. Eliot went down to deal with Nick when our improvised bodyguard arrived, and Ford was doing something with Fedorov, -
It crashed into me then, the realization that I had really agreed to do this. That I was going to crash into a party full of deadly monsters. Again. That a counterfeit invitation was going to be involved. Again. That good people were going to be on the line, again.
And all at once I couldn't breathe, no matter how hard I tried. I splashed cold water on my face, for all the good it did. The aftershave was still burning on the nicks the leshy's claws had left on my cheeks, but the rest of me felt colder than ice. I curled my hands into fists and they were still shaking, I couldn't get them to stop, I couldn't -
"Harry." Sophie's hands were warm on mine.
"I can't do this." I sounded like a dying cat, and not the funny cartoon kind.
She made me look at her. Not long enough to trigger a Soulgaze, but I felt it there, lurking far too close. "This isn't just nerves, is it?"
"I've walked into worse traps." I still couldn't catch my breath, it was rattling around in my chest, making funny noises. "I've lost people who walked in with me, expecting me to keep them safe. I don't - I'm not worried about me -"
"Harry," she repeated, her tone a little harder. "We are worried about you. Don't you get it? We aren't walking in with you; you're walking in with us."
"That doesn't change anything."
"It changes everything. You may be going in as Harry Dresden, Professional Wizard, but you aren't the shield and the sword, Harry. You're the pretty princess. The distraction. Listen to me: you wouldn't even have to be a wizard for this, it's just very useful to the con that you are, do you understand?"
God, I wanted to believe her, I did. And the funniest part of it all is that some part of me did believe her. She took the little decorative pin I was supposed to put on my shirt from my hands. They were still shaking, but it wasn't as bad, at least, and I focused on them, on trying to get them to stop.
"We're none of us alone tonight, Harry. Not us, not you. I know you're used to being alone, I was a solo operator for a very long time. It takes time to get used to being part of a team, and time's the one thing we haven't been able to give you. But if you have our backs, and I know you do, we will have yours."
"How do you know I will?"
"Harry, it's you," she replied dryly. "I don't think you know how not to have someone's back.
I did laugh at that. It wasn't much, it sounded terribly rusty even to my own ears, but she'd caught me by surprise and the truth doesn't always hurt. Sometimes it just tickles your funny bone.
And then I made the mistake of looking up, thinking she'd have looked to make sure she didn't stab me with the pin thing.
The darkness was warm and velvety, and it was full of mirrors.
Some were big, the size of a person. Some were slivers, no bigger than one of my fingers. Some stuck close at hand to one another, piece by piece assembling a larger whole. Sophie was there, at the center of it all, but I couldn't see her, couldn't see the truth of her, mirrors whirling sedately between her and me, obscuring the truth of her. She directed them all with little gestures and grand sweeps of her hand, as if they were books she were organizing into a vast, endless library. Some parts of her were reflective, as if she'd once been nothing but a mirror herself. But for the most part she was real, solid, as confident and beautiful as the woman in the loft with me.
Then the image of her gasped and flicked her fingers at me, and she broke the Soulgaze before I could.
I staggered back, more out of shock that she'd done that than anything else. I could still feel the warmth of her, the sheer and enveloping caring. Sophie Deveraux had a thousand faces at her disposal, and a thousand more ready to be created, and in the midst of it all she still knew herself, knew who she was with the sort of awareness even some immortals couldn't manage.
And who she was truly cared. Cared for her family, her friends. Me.
"Oh, Harry." Before I could even begin to feel guilt or shame about what she might have seen in me, she'd hugged me tight. Not gonna lie, I've fantasized a time or three over a gorgeous woman getting so close to me. At the moment, that fantasy was the last thing in my mind. Then she pulled away and said the words I least expected. "You're a good man, Harry Dresden."
She couldn't have taken the breath out of me any more thoroughly if she'd punched me. "I'm glad…" My throat felt funny, my voice didn't want to work. I cleared it up so I could sound as manly as I damn well was. "I'm glad one of us believes that."
"One of us absolutely does," she told me, perfectly balanced between stern and playful, and put her hand out. I gave her the ear clip, though my hands weren't shaking anymore, thank goodness. "Let's work on the other, shall we."

Sauce trying to be grateful for the subs but it's hard lol 'ppreciate the uhh..'*starts dancing to new york music with roll of seal*
Around 19:00 he starts dancing and looks like a pigeon
20:30 he's talking about the other tat he's getting already while his muscles are still twitching in pain. Sauce. Go to bed 😭 man he probably can't with all that pain.
He's still holding up the tat drawing waiting for people to say 'W's but instead all the chats doing is talking about his toes

27:58, K: mhm 🙂
Sauce's neck fuckin. Convulses and he moans and gets up lol, Tatman has to move the camera to find him. Unappreciative ghoul 😭
He sits up and just kind of dissociates. Long silence. GOD HIS BOOBS ARE MOVING CRAZY. LIKE IN SEPARATE WAYS. IT'S LITERALLY TERRIFIYING
THE MIC KEEPS CUTTING IN AND OUT NOOOOO but basically sauce is like ' they talkin shit bout me 😔? Ughhh' and kyle comes over and says something and sauce smiles

Sg: it's all good :) (expression is that of a dying man fighting his demons) (compulsive desire to be in control) *shoots constant worried looks at the camera*
Sauce ends up getting up anyways to fix the mic situation 🙄 like thanks but can u just let this beautiful malewife take care of u DAMMMN!! stubborn ass 😑.
I THINK IT'S KYLE but someone just gently slides their phone in front of our face again to show us some cool image/tattoo I think maybe? It reminds me of the Muppets, the movement he made. It's so funny, I feel like a baby. He's pointing to shit but I can't hear him
Sg: yeah it's definitely fire 😫 <- on the verge of collapse
Sg: CHAT I DONT KNOW HOW TO BREATHE
Chat: it's still choppy (it is)
Sg: ??? IT'S STILL CHOPPY 😦?!??!?? (YES!!)
Sg: .... i think it's only choppy for You 😒🙄. (His instant victim blaming)
IT'S STILL CHOPPY!!! but now some of the chat is gaslighting him that the others are gaslighting him, im sick
Some mod Don asks Sauce how much a tat costs. Sauce suggests Don text tatman and tatman might give him a lil discount cus he's a friend of a friend. He gives tatman his best seductive heehee sauce look. .....i don't think tatman is going to give Don a discount.
Sg: he said tell him im using code sauce for 25 percent off 😹
K: 😐
Sg: 😥
Sg: just lemme know when you're ready to- (blow my back out. The mic cut off when he said that tho but trust me. He said that)
Sg: chat said don't end the live 😹 easy, im not gonna end the-
[VIDEO ENDS]

K: *checks himself out on camera for a split second*
K: *very polite to the stream's viewing. Apparently has never streamed or got an audience up close n personal during his tat sessions. Only shows the before and after photos so this is a new but very fun experience for him. aww, so cute <3 sauce getting him to try new things!!!! He's nervous about getting the best angles for us and he's always trying his best to please!! ( he's so service top it's Mad. it's MADDENIN!!! ) Sauce dramatic diva demanding hot n s*x fierce reporter mean fake bitch and his quiet polite and personable yet professionally firm, keeping sauce in line when he needs to fulltime cameraman part time bodyguard when the situation gets unexpectedly (or expectedly. Not everyone has Tat man's insanely loyal patience with sauce...) hostile WHEN??? Slowburn We're just workers/he's just my minion to ........... don't ask why we came out of the same bathroom at the same time STFU ?? HELLO??? TAT MAN!!!*
Chat: cook up kyle

To help Kyle zoom the camera per his chats demands. He lowkey high key very anxious and micromanaging abt kyle using his camera equipment lol. He just loves telling people what to do but also that shit is probably very expensive. But cmon sauce. Kyle the cameraman's got it!!! HE EVEN HAS THE PERFECT CAMERAMAN NAME LIKE?? Let him take care of you bbygirl ..😼
Sauce once again (a bit more gingerly this time) sits himself on his jets style seat thing and let's out a little cry of pain when his ass hits it??? sauce these bttm allegations are BEATING ur ASS lmao????
Kyle does what sauce was about to do for him and sauce kinda :/// >:( 😰😰😠. Sauce try to go five seconds without micromanaging challenge impossible. Complains about chat being able to see his facial expressions being too close up now and how he won't be able to fuck with Kyle no more cus of it cus they'll make shit is weird. Kyle simply responds ' That's love 🙂. '
Sauce goads the chat asking if he should end stream. Kyle at first thinks maybe he isn't cameramanning right and gets a little nervous/sad at disappointing sauce but quickly catches onto the strategy and joins in on the bait. The chat take it with a chorus of Nos. Girlboss sauce malewife Tat man media powercouple ftw?
2:58, K: wait turn ur head a lil bit? *Sauce looks at him* no, other way *sauce looks away, exposing neck to him and pre-ink*

'Stop being a lil girl take the pain like a man'????? Yall sure this is twitch and not p*rnhub ??? tf?
Kyle zooms in. Chat: "glad to get the nipple off the page" HELP. my thoughts exactly
Kyle tries hiding sauces face with his zooms bcs he knows sauce was self conscious about his expressions lmao. Chat, instantly, and these are different people too. Everyone is a sadist here apparently. My kinda people 😼: 'WE NEED TO SEE HIS FACE FR' 'HIS FACE BRO WE NEED TO SEE HIS FACE' 'WE NEED TO SEE HIS FACE IF HE CRIES'
3:38 Sauce, reading the chat bcs if he doesn't have attention that he can feel for five seconds he explodes and dies: is my face in there ? <- literally just whined about not wanting his face seen bcs he'd get weird comments and ruin his very heterosexual very platonic relationship with tat man. But is now turning his whole tune around for some shred of people pleasing attention omg 🙄 poo fimbly 😑
K: nah they be clownin 😿.. *just wants to protect him*
Sauce agrees a bit then quickly changes subject to compliment himself.
Sauce notices camera needs shifting so he tries but Kyle's on it before he can. Sauce keeps trying anyways until eventually the needles settle him slougish
5:10 chat tells them to zoom out but sauce defends his cameraman: AINT NO ZOOM OUT 😾😾!! HE TRYNA GIVE YOU THE UPCLOSE LOOKS !!

I really don't understand this issue that some younger My Chem fans seem to have with fans in there 20's, 30's & even 40's. They see it as totally normal and acceptable for teens, even tweens to be obsessed with a band that broke up when they were in kindergarten, thirsting over men old enough to be their fathers - but when fans who were around from the beginning or at the peak of their popularity still love the band just as much they call it cringe or embarrassing. "You're an adult, don't you have better things to do than be on Tumblr?"
Yes, I am an adult. Do I have better things to do? Let's be honest - we all have better things to do. But I'll let you in on a secret: you don't stop liking things when you become an adult! I know, I was just as surprised as you. Just because you grow up doesn't mean you are no longer allowed to like what you liked 20 years ago. Did you eat peanut butter & jelly as a kid? If someone told you now you couldn't because "aren't you supposed to be an adult?" Would you want to punch them in the face for saying something so dumb? Me too. One of the biggest messages the guys pushed was knowing you fit in somewhere, that you weren't alone. So when you act like we don't belong you are doing exactly the sort of thing they were fighting against. Gerard would be very disappointed, just saying.
We are all here because we appreciate the same thing. We all have some sort of connection to this band that makes us want to find other people like us so we can talk about it and get excited about it. I don't give a fuck how old you are. So for those of you young My Chem fans that think being an adult means doing taxes, buying life insurance and planning your funeral, I feel sorry for you - and I hope when you become an adult you still choose to enjoy this "idea" as much as I still do.

Tumblr media
genre: fluff, angst, immortal au
word count: 1.4k
~warning: mentions of death, character death
Network tag: @stayverse
Tumblr media
a/n: thanks to @blueprint-han for the banner and helping me with this fic. I swear if it's not for you, it wouldn't turn out this good 🥺🥺 (and I come back to tumblr :3)
Tumblr media
The first time you saw him was when he stepped inside the cafe that you worked at. His presence was enough to captivate people, their gazes lingering on his form as he walked past them and went to the counter.
"One cup of Americano, please."
His order was simple. Just a cup of Americano. He ordered the same thing the next day. Until it became a routine. He would walk into the cafe and come up to you. You would be ready with his usual order. You both exchanged smiles, you being too shy to start a conversation.
"I think he likes you." Your co-worker would say, giggling.
You shook your head at her ridiculous statement, continuing your work as you felt his gaze on you, watching you intently.
A few weeks later, you mustered up enough courage to talk to him. As you made way timidly towards his table, your heart beating frantically, fearing his reaction.
"Excuse me? You come around a lot but I haven't caught your name yet. Mine's Y/N and I just hope we can be friends?"
His smile was beautiful. Too beautiful to be human. Yet his eyes were carrying something, like sadness and longing but you couldn't pinpoint it.
"The name is Hyunjin. Nice to meet you."
Tumblr media
"Why do you keep coming to our café even though it's miles away from your place?"
Hyunjin looked up from his cup to stare at you, lips lifting in a smile. He pushed the cup away from him, finger drumming on the table as you waited for him to answer.
"Your coffee is delicious. They remind me of someone. That's all."
You frowned at his answer. Hyunjin seems to notice that you were not satisfied with his answer yet he didn't say anything.
"Why don't you ask that person to make your coffee then? Did you guys fight or something?
You asked, absentmindedly stirring your coffee. Hyunjin went quiet for a while before opening his mouth.
"She died a few years ago."
You stopped stirring, guilt starting to fill your being. You grabbed his outstretched hand, nearly knocking the cups over.
"I'm sorry. That's rude of me. I don't mean to bring that up." "It's okay."
Hyunjin smiled lightly, patting your hand as you kept on apologizing. You eventually picked up your head to look into his eyes, fighting back his gaze.
A wave of nostalgia suddenly hit you. You didn't know why but his eyes seem familiar somehow. Like you already saw them before.
"Y/N? Are you there?"
You jerked out from your trance as Hyunjin waved his hand in front of your face. He looked worried.
"I'm okay. It's just I think I remember something when I stared into your eyes." "Oh. That's good."
And the next day, he didn't come back.
Tumblr media
People think being immortal must be nice. You won't die. You won't get hurt. You could live for so long and you won't ever get old. It's a way of avoiding death, the thing that people feared so much.
But not for Hyunjin. If he had to choose, he chooses death.
For starters, he needs to see all his loved ones die with his own eyes and it will continue to haunt his memory forever. He can't stay in one area for a long time just in case anyone noticed him. No matter how much the town means to him, he had moved away to avoid causing a ruckus.
He needs to change his identity often which is the only way so people won't recognize him and sell him out. He hates being immortal.
Not to mention, it's hard for him to fall in love. Hyunjin has been falling in love with the same person every time for 400 years now. No matter how much you changed over time, he still falls for you.
It hurts to see you falling in love, getting married, having kids, and hearing you passed away. He could have approached you yet he knows he won't stand a chance with you and the thought of seeing you dying hurts him.
Yet, this was the first time you approached him first. He still looks after you from time to time, helping you in secret if you have ever been in trouble and it surprised him when you approached his table shyly, asking to be friends.
And so Hyunjin agreed.
But when she started to remember a little bit from her past life, Hyunjin knew it was time for him to flee. He couldn't risk you remembering him. As much as he hated to leave, Hyunjin knew it was for the best.
For 40 years, he lived alone, far away from your city. He suppressed his desire to see you, to know if you're doing good, to find out if you got over him.
Until one day, he couldn't take it anymore. So he went back to your city, just to watch you from afar. Seeing you after all these years, still smiling brightly while running the little cafe, made him feel relieved to see you doing so well without him.
He was surprised to find out you still didn't get married yet, like your other past life. Until he found out you were still waiting for him and you already knew the fact about him being immortal.
Turned out, Hyunjin stupidly left his sketchbook, the one where he keeps all his sketches of Y/N from her different life after their last encounter together. And it seems like she pieced it together to form a conclusion that he's immortal.
And so Hyunjin decided to come back. This time, to stay until your very last breath.
Tumblr media
The bell on the door chimed merrily as someone stepped inside the cafe. You picked up your head from the old cash register, smiling at the person in front of you.
His presence, as always, drew people in to look at him, gaping at his figure. Even after 40 years, he still had that dazzling smile on his face.
"You didn't change much, Hyunjin." "And you aged beautifully, Y/N"
You chuckled slowly, shaking your head as tears collected at the brim of your eyes. Hyunjin helped you to get out from the counter, his hand gripping yours tightly.
"I may be old but I'm not fragile yet."
You mumbled as Hyunjin fussed over you, asking if you were comfortable. You sighed, smiling, a bit amused at his antics. You pulled his hand to sit next to you. Smiling, he held your hand tenderly, as your tears once again flooded the brim of your eyes.
"I missed you."
As the noises from the background faded into silence, you focused solely on Hyunjin as he did the same, the feeling of longing evaporated as you both basked in each other's presence, letting out the yearning for each other.
"Me too, Hyunjin. Me too."
Tumblr media
Hyunjin took one last look at the graveyard, focusing on your tomb. He watched as your close ones went back along with him. His mind flew back to the last conversation you had with him yesterday before you passed away in your sleep.
"I'll try to remember you in my next life."
Hyunjin smiled as he fixed your blanket gently, patting your hand. You smiled back as his hand intertwined both of your hands together.
"Don't bother, Y/N. It's never gonna work."
You chuckled but it was quickly cut off with a cough. Hyunjin quickly handed her some water as he helped her sit up on the bed. You waved his hand away as the cough subsided, shaking your head.
"We just need a miracle, Hyunjin. If I can remember you after our last encounter 40 years ago, why won't I remember the next time we meet?"
You reached out to your nightstand and took out his sketchbook, handing it to him. Hyunjin reluctantly accepted it, feeling a bit lost.
"If you show me that sketchbook in my next life, I'm sure I'll remember. After all, I won't forget the person who draws me so beautifully like that."
You chuckled as Hyunjin flipped through the pages. He nodded.
"Now let's get you to sleep. It's late."
That night, Hyunjin drew you while you were sleeping peacefully with a smile on your face as you breathed your last air.
He gripped the sketchbook tightly in his grasp, willing himself not to cry. He let out a watery smile as he walked away from the graveyard, promising himself to do what you told him to do before.
Except, you were never reborn.

okay I didn't expect 'Spider-Man: Valley of the Lizard' to be high quality literature but by the hoary host of hoggoth--
I'm a little under half-way through and so far 80% of it feels like a sheltered 40 y o white guy's travel blog from the late 90's and the syntax alone makes me want to scream.
Yet I keep on reading. Chalk it up to morbid fascination and a dash of masochism. If you ever wanted an absolutely perfect picture of why various writing 'rules' like "don't use so many gosh-darn adverbs" exist, check this badboy out babey. *slaps roof of audiobook* It's a masterpiece production of What Not To Write in almost every way.
To be fair the main reason I'm cringing so hard is because I used to make all these mistakes and hearing them from someone else is really just slapping me in the face with how badly I used to write. Okay, how badly I still write... sometimes.
Here's my main takeaway so far--
DON'T TREAT YOUR READERS LIKE IDIOTS, IDIOT !!!!
Don't slap readers in the face with descriptors and other info that could've been implicit. Don't repeat the same plot points a dozen times by rephrasing them without adding any new info. Don't use five different names for the same thing in a single paragraph--call a lizard a lizard! Don't tell readers how to feel by overstating POV character reactions. Make them feel it by writing. Hey, take it easy on the 11th grade vocab words too, especially during fight scenes.
and uh, lay off the 'noble savage' trope I guess but hopefully that's less of a problem for anyone reading this on tumblr in 2021.
✨ Weird audiobook reader tangent below the cut. ✨
The non-writing related thing that's been bugging me is that the audiobook reader sounds like he has a north-western American accent. Pretty sure it's the same guy who read the Spider-Man book by Jim Butcher (the reason I started down this grim literary spider-man rabbit hole). Couldn't get a New Yorker to voice Spider-Man---FINE, but jeeze guys, at least get another British guy who can fake a decent north-eastern American accent! If I hear Peter Parker pronounce 'won' as 'waahn' one more time I'm gonna let a horse step on my headphones.
POST GOOGLING ADDITION TO THE ACCENT TANGENT: The reader is some guy named Tim Paige who read the book in 2020 and apart from the distracting accent he does great. His Twitter says he's living in NY so I'm willing to consider that I may not know what a New York accent actually sounds like... but I swear it doesn't sound like that???? Different guy did Jim Butcher's but they have the same accent, which is somehow more concerning. ONE MORE GOOGLE LATER: Okay yeah Jack Meloche who read the Jim Butcher one is from Michigan, so that tracks with the vaguely Canadian sounding vowels. On some level I'm right to be annoyed lol. Tim Paige definitely doesn't do a New York City accent. I guess Syracuse is far enough north that people sound like Canadians up there too. I wouldn't know, I've never been farther north than NYC. 🤷 I also found out 'Valley of the Lizard' was written in 1998. The way they talk about cell phones would've given it away if describing Corpus Christi as a quaint rural town hadn't. If you're wondering what Spider-Man is doing in Corpus Christi, he isn't. It's Dr. Connors. Why is he there? To write a dull & culturally ignorant travel blog apparently. K bye. Back to slowly dying of facepalming. Cheers pals.

Thanks hopepunk community for all the beautiful posts on Tumblr.
I'm pretty sure I'm in depression, and that I've actually been in depression for 3 years now, just wouldn't see it, and a few weeks ago I discovered hopepunk. Reading all the posts warmed my heart, got me to tears sometimes, made me smile, and the best thing ? I crafted and wrote and did things I stopped to do for months or years.
After all those hopeless years, I finally have something to soothe my mind and remind me that hope keeps us alive and makes us do great things. All I need is hope for the future to finally see that I can choose from many paths. That I can still do good around me and that it'll be worth it. That kindness and hope and community are everything that capitalism and patriarchy and all those fucking bad systems fear.
Let's fight the damn depression off and start doing good around me.
So yeah, thank you hopepunk community. Your posts are appreciated.

If you're a filthy little queer anar punk like me (or honestly, just a regular human that works too), you may like those tips and ideas and links :
Quit big social medias, they're made to be addictive so you stay on the app and it give them money. Also they rely on things that make you angry and hurt to make you stay on the app.
Instead join free open-source community-driven social medias and platforms instead (suggesting Fediverse). With a real moderation and instance made by people just like you. Double-check your instance before joining though !
Rediscover the web outside what you can get from the GAFAM with those linkrolls and search websites : • • • • •
Read this article about "laziness" and why the researcher think it actually doesn't exist. Good vibes and positivity at the end of the read guaranteed.
Do something you used to do as a kid. Play with toys, craft, climb to trees, sing out loud in your room, cook pastries, read your fav books again. For me it was crafting and I just customized the cover of my little sketchbook and it felt sooo good !
Check out this list of leftist zines !
Remember to take some time to go out. In the morning it helps a lot to start your day. And to open your windows to change the air inside.
Your friends for researches : Sci-Hub and 12ftLadder.
In you need to know that anarchy works, read this.
Learn something new with those explorable explanations. It's awesome !
Just go through the "hopepunk" hashtag here on Tumblr if you feel hopeless, hate yourself, are depressed, feel sad today... Honestly it just feel so good and I cried and smiled a lot scrolling through this and I feel so much better since I know this.
Remember to breathe slowly and unclench your body sweethearts !
Please if you have linkrolls or other awesome articles, websites etc... to share... well, share it in the comments and I'll add them ! Or reblog with your links, as you wish.
A lot of love for you all here. You're great and deserve some love and hugs !

What would you do if you had a basic income that could cover housing and food and basically living ?
I know a lot of us are afraid of the future. Because we live in a world where we need money just to survive, but we also know those jobs aren't the thing the world need right now.
So tell me, what kind of business/job/activity would you do if you didn't have to worry about money to survive ? Tell us everything. Go wild.

I feel SO much better since I've discovered "solarpunk" and then "hopepunk", a few weeks ago. I've also stopped Twitter a week ago. I got back to creative things. I wrote for the first time in months. I tried myself on a mini-fanzine. I tried to fix my old ideas notebook. I created a terrarium, took care of plants.
I feel better. So much better. I'm in depression, I'm pretty sure of that, and I got a psychiatrist appointment in a month.
But thanks solarpunk and hopepunk. And thanks me for getting outta Twitter and limiting myself to Mastodon, Artfol and Tumblr. I have much more hope and positivie vibes in my life now, and it feels so good.
I have hope for the future now. I don't know where I go. I still don't know what kind of job I could do. But at least I got hope and music and craft to keep me alive now.

Write for yourself. Draw for yourself. Craft for yourself. Sing for yourself. Dance for yourself. Do anything creative for yourself, if it makes you happy.
I know it's hard sometimes because we want to share our stories and crafts with the world, and we end up having expectations and want to please the world, and eventually loose the happiness of creating.
Take that back. Create for yourself. Show it to the world if you want to. Some people may love it and follow you. And that's awesome ! But the only expectation you need to have is please yourself first. Do what makes you happy.
