#i have simply Perished

[xiaq]

Sometimes when my anxiety is particularly bad, I’m unable to sleep. At all. Sometimes this goes on for days at a time. Sometimes, this deprivation gives rise to Very Vivid and Very Silly story ideas when I’m staring at the ceiling at 3am trying to convince my body that I am reclined on a pillowtop mattress and not, in fact, being chased by tigers. Sometimes, instead of finishing the novel I’m supposed to complete next month, or even working on the fanfic I’m not meant to be working on because I should be finishing the novel I’m supposed to complete next month, I start writing an entirely new book about a disabled reluctant monarch falling for his (equally reluctant) would-be assassin.

This is fine.

I'm well aware that I'm probably alone on this hill but this is basically my ideal dynamic for them. Sorry not sorry lmaoooo

[the-way-astray]

you could theoretically read the series in the order 8.5, 9.5, 9 instead of 8.5, 9, 9.5 because books 9 and 9.5 take place parallel to each other but also sophie and keefe never interact between them so hypothetically there should be no difference (and no spoilers either way).

another thing you could theoretically do is alternate between reading books 9 and 9.5. a chapter here, a chapter there. it would be like reading a longer version of unlocked, with the povs alternating between sophie and keefe.

in fact, in theory, there could be a possibility of even less spoilers if you read it 8.5, 9.5, 9. for example, if vespera makes an appearance in unraveled, and you didn't know she would die yet, it could be a really cool way to see her last minute and have an extra layer about her before her death. whereas if vespera makes an appearance in unraveled and you already know she's going to die, it feels a little more empty. not completely meaningless, but like. kinda empty. like if vespera hints at a larger plan or something in unraveled and you didn't know she was going to die, you'd be super excited to see this plan shake out, but now that we know she's going to die something like that wouldn't hit as hard.

Me sending a confused carrier pigeon to my friends so I can’t be tracked (I thought about perceptions of myself in the world for a little too long after midnight and gave myself anxiety): Hey guys! Just realized I don’t actually wanna be perceived anymore! If you could forget I ever existed and never speak about me again while I strike my name from the records and erase any mention of myself, that’d be great, thanks! Sorry for the inconvenience of meeting me, love you, have a nice life!!

I've said it before and I'll said it again, it really hope this isn't the "kids conversation" because God, I hate that media trope.

I know it's too early, and I can see Buck totally acknowledging that fact but adding "if this is gonna be a deal breaker it's better to know now before we're in too deep" and Tommy just says "I think it's a little late for that."

Was overcome with the urge to smooch @clxckwork-sun-n-moon So Cries The Wolf Eclipse - only I ran into a slight issue

I’m a simple person, I don’t ask for much in this life. I really could live without a lot of things if I could just have my basic needs met.

My basic needs: food, shelter, human connection, Ty Blackthorn’s POV.

@extravierge put the idea of bishop's knife trick back in my brain and now i am pacing like a caged animal imagining it as patrick's emotional devastation piano ballad leading right into don't stop believing

the problem with taking a break from The Project(TM), i fear, is that without something to dig my wretched little claws into, i collapse in a pile on the floor like a jellyfish out of water. which could mean nothing-
