I love your mm au so much literally if you made a series of one random one shots of just the bees and friends getting up to random shenanigans I would read it in a heartbeat

This is an old one but I might, actually. There were a lot of mini-scenes (and sex scenes) that got cut from the final product of MM due to story flow issues. There's this one scene I cut that I am turning into an art piece instead where they have a bath one morning and Blake sees Yang's stupid rubber ducky collection and asks if they can use them. Then they order pizza and have it while in the bath because what is life if you can't eat pizza while taking a bath (don't @ me about cleanliness ok let the girls live a little)

I really loved that scene, and I'm sad it didn't fit anywhere, but maybe some of y'all might actually wanna read it?

Other cut scenes include;

A very dirty sex scene after Lemon Custard that's full roleplay with the bees

Serena chases off new competition at the club (Neon Katt) by 'marking her territory' with Yang

The actual alley fight between Yang and the White Fang

Car sex LOL

Guy's Night 2.0 with Yang and Pyrrha but this time they have to track down Weiss and Blake WITH Ruby because they get lost after barhopping

Blake teaches Yang Bachata

Early Blake and Weiss before the events of MM when she was living with her for a while

More exploration of Blake dissociation issues

Flashback to Vernal teaching a teenage Yang how to shoot

A collection of mini-scenes that happen during the chapter called Eight that are meant to span over 8 months but don't fit the final product (small conversations, Blake and her parents, Weiss and Yang interactions, mundane stuff like that)

Where Emerald and Blake's long-standing rivalry comes from in literally everything

And a lot of bullshit small scene ideas that I've talked about in private with friends that were just misc details

Here's the sketch of that pizza bath scene as a treat

if you want the rewards of talking to your sister about her favorite works of philosophy you must submit to the mortifying ordeal of reading one of your sister's favorite works of philosophy and then admitting to her it was a little over your head. which is not actually that mortifying because your sister has great taste and is also very lovely and non-judgmental.

as a someone who got deeply deeply into CaitVi for a brief but electric moment after Arcane season 1 came out I felt serious betrayal at how I saw nothing but JayVik on my dash after season 2. I am here now having finally watched season 2 to say I so get it. what the fuck.

why do so many people in amazon reviews want product instructions spelled out with words. most of the time when I see these complaints, adding text to the illustrated instructions wouldn't add any additional clarity.

I get that some people might process information better in the form of text but there comes a point when a matter is so simple that reading any amount of words is more complicated than seeing a visual. like if a coffee table arrives as a tabletop with four pre-drilled holes and four screw on legs what the fuck are these people doing leaving a review saying "garbage instructions don't explain anything". like how did they even figure out how to buy things online.

though I guess these are probably just shit-stirring "this is america and everything should be written in american" types.

it's all fun and games typing up a silly, rickety little au idea in the tags of someone else's post and then suddenly you find yourself expanding on the world-building and plotting out interconnected stories for characters you swore would only make background appearances and your brain is On Fire with the need to write even when you know you can't commit to yet another doomed wip

my review of Moonwalk: hot mess. ★★★.

[galacticlamps]

'to thine own self be true (and thou canst not then be false to any man)' Polonius tells his son Laertes in Act 1 - and it's so trite a saying that we quote it on everything from greeting cards to jewelry and almost laugh to stumble upon it in its original context

and then Laertes goes and spends the rest of the play - and let's face it, what little of it came before that as well - playing the foil to its tragic hero until it kills them both in Act 5 (and through the means of his own deception too)

"you can't put alicent in a mother's day asoiaf comp because she's not a good mother and that's okay :)" but you have no problem with cersei fucking lannister in it when half her affc chapters are just about how abysmally she fails as a mother to her children so i think you're just a cunt

I'm at the point in the semester (three days before it ends) where I check my grades (for the first time in the whole semester) and realize I have a multitude of missing assignments (too many to count) so I send my professors emails giving them my sob story (works every time) and convince them to let me turn stuff in late (just a few of them I won't push my luck) and then fool around for hours doing nothing productive (I call myself the Chief Executive of Executive Function for a reason)

My period is over a week late now and it would be an actual, biblical miracle for me to be pregnant. I was TRYING to find out when I need to actually bring this up to medical attention and most sources are like "period late, take pregnancy test!"

Aki is just the Most Guy of all time and you’re articulating it so much better cause I just go “hnnnnnnnnnn Hot Man care about annoying kids”

BELIEVE ME I AM SOOOOOO INSANE ABOUT HIM. FOR REALS

Continuing the Sims Mother/Daughter but 90% Vega's Batuu Adventures while I still can't get SWTOR to work (which I'll put under a read more so I don't annoy people), Vega took a second to stop at the cantina mid-Resistance mission, then got distracted for a second. By what, you ask?

Hondo getting down on the dance floor, which I wasn't expecting but probably should've since it is the Sims. Dang, man, you still got some moves for an old fart!

Now I'm sad that this came out before Fallen Order did, because I could've given Vega the RE-1 droid she has in my fics then. Since I can't, meet C1-30, Cleo for short (yeah I couldn't resist).

Having most missions be Vega slicing into stuff is fun, because that's usually the role I give her in my fics anyway—Aja's great at a lot of things, but she's meh at computer stuff and can't fly a ship to save her life. Seriously, she crashes it. Vega's good at those things, though; perks of growing up the Voidhound's daughter on Port Nowhere. Yay for covering each other's weak points!

Yay for droids being able to run distractions so I don't have to have Reilly continuously pick fights with the locals to keep them from butting in while Vega's slicing even though the interaction keeps giving me exception bug/glitches and I don't know why :P Aaaaaand I gotta restart this mission because the task tracker thingy isn't counting something she already completed. Oh Sims, you buggy mess, you frustrate me so.
