Three CaitVi fics I've read over the holigays
be but sworn my love (E) by antant616
This fic is literally the trope of: slow burn but they're fucking the entire time. Also, CaitVi here are exes who are forced to play Romeo and Juliet in a play and ooooo the drama! I'm HOOKED.
Dear Stranger, (T) by becasbelt | tumblr
If you want to cry, read this. Absolutely beautiful canon-compliant fic. And for real, just read all of Anne's works. They're amazing ❤️

good egg alert!! i made myself a normal meal for breakfast/lunch today and i've done a little bit of writing and i'm about to queue up a couple of asks!!
#i can feel every day a little bit more energy!!#the only thing is that because i was so burnt out the little things are hitting me harder#like this morning i had intended to get back to more messages#but then i forgot a meeting i had with my solicitor and that made me have a little tiny panic attack#so all of my reserved energy has been depleted QUICK FAST#i'm excited though because i feel like every few days i gain another spoon#and every few days the spoons get depleted less!!#i'm still gonna take my supervisor's advice and keep myself off as long as i can#but i'm feeling ok!!#finnie shouts into the void

I’m was watching a podcast interview with Henry Selick and he got asked if there would ever be a sequel to TNBC and he said that he has a idea. He wants to do five minutes short Jack, Sally married through the perspective of Zero. I don’t know what we have to do but we got to make this happen.
Would you mind linking me to the podcast? This sounds interesting!
I know Henry Selick said last year that a TNBC Prequel would be more interesting to do than a Sequel (a sentiment I share 100%), but it's cool to know that he's still considering ideas for a continuation. I assume he was talking in regards to a TV/Disney+ short? Zero's perspective would be fun to see, since you can spot little details his way in the movie. He got his own comic book sequel, so I can't say it's something that hasn't been done before, but I'd love to see more love Zero's way and a glimpse into Jack & Sally's married life!
Luckily, we're still getting a sequel to Long Live the Pumpkin Queen which will likely explore Jack & Sally's marriage, and hopefully show more spotlight on Zero. I would think for Henry Selick's sequel idea here to come to fruition, he'd have to get Tim Burton + his team and Disney onboard with the idea.
#henry selick#tim burton#ask#emmastraub3#zero skellington#my feelings on tnbc sequels are kinda getting a little...burnt out honestly#if we are to count everything from video games to books#we have and are getting 5 tnbc sequels! (zeros journey oogies revenge lltpq and lltpq 2+3 )#so like. i'm not really excited or demanding more tnbc 'sequels' i feel like the story has been and is going to be continued and explored#i'd like henry to stick with his prequel idea more since we only have. 2 medias for it really#(pumpkin king game and the battle for pumpkin king)#you know what i think would make a cool story? lock shock and barrel and oogie boogie#how they meet him and decide to work for him a glimpse into their lives in the treehouse etc etc#there's been a lot of focus on jack sally and zero and while i love the skellingtons so much#they're going to get quite a bit of focus with the lltpq novels so like#i'm just saying here yknow lol

Stealing this image from twitter and bringing it over here, because holy shit, some of the clowns I have been seeing talk about the game lately.
#Novice Network is a toxic waste pit right now#filled to the brim with returners who think they’re hot shit talking about ‘If Square really thought a cutscene was important they would hav#e put voice acting in it’ and other shit like that#‘I just skip all non voiced because the voiced cutscenes recap all that boring shit anyway”’#no they don’t???#Is THIS what a new Expac brings out?#because it’s genuinely dreadful#do you even enjoy the game at that point? Complain about fetch quests complain about the dialogue complain about the writing quality#why not just go play a game you like???#It’s getting to the point where I just have my chat log closed most of the time#not leaving NN because it WAS really nice during the post-Endwalker patch cycle#when mostly only people who actually liked the game (????) were still playing.#but the amount of toxic attitude returners I’ve seen in there lately is disheartening.#I hope it’ll come back down in the following weeks#once they’ve burnt through Dawntrail and decided the game doesn’t have anything for them#and they’ve sufficiently wasted their time#instead of just… taking it slow and taking in the world and the sights and the story……..#I’ve heard that Dawntrail is basically ARR 2. Which. big if true.#Because we could use that.#A return to form#with the new systems and developments in the game#bringing the story back down a little bit and reining it in#I am VERY excited to get there some day.#but I know that these people I’m bitching and moaning about aren’t thrilled#(honestly that just makes me like it more)#Anyway#point is#if you’re playing a game why the hell aren’t you engaging with said game?#What’s the point of skipping to the end as fast as possible only to get annoyed when there’s no more content?#This is exactly the problem that I’ve heard ex-WoW players complain about with regards to their player base

sometimes i think about... the sort of delicious treats that the scientists would like to eat... do you have any ideas about what sorts of things they would gravitate towards. for a meal or a snack, either or, really. i need treats for their enclosures
giving them the lil treats!! god knows they need the sustenance
UMMM. for snacks I think Prism likes both salty and sweet. I'd like to think she grew a fondness for the little baked treats given to them by the Agency, but when she quit she tried to avoid eating things that reminded her of them................... by the end of ieytd3 i think she'd try them again though. If her bobots don't bring her homecooked meals/snacks she just forgets to eat anything. For some reason I thought she'd enjoy seafood especially when pairing it with her cocktails.
For fabby, aside for her wine and poison treats and antidote chasers... I think there's a lot of those french treats that she likes. bread and such especially, though she avoids eating stuff in her workshop (the crumbs get everywhere...) perhaps she'd also enjoy cake. And also anything with cheeses!!! She has a refined palette but these lil treats make her so excited. Cheese especially. Give this french woman some cheese.
Solaris..............she needs so much foods with her stature. I think she'd be willing to eat a wide variety of things. She still forgets from time to time like the other hardworking girls, but I feel like she'd prioritize it a little more especially post-Death Engine. Food's important. I'm stealing this idea from you though she would Not want to touch orange juice ever again. Do the Swiss love their cheese too? Her and fabby could have a little cheese date
#i expect you to die#ieytd#roxana prism#the fabricator#commander solaris#some part of it i got inspired by their flavor profiles on their character sheets#... except for solaris. schellgames did not have to do her SO DIRTY#WHY IS HER FLAVOR PROFILE BURNT .... MEAN TO HER.......#anyways giving them a little treats#also based on what my french partner says: the french love their cheese#i cannot deny. i love cheese and im not even french. it's divine#gene answers#the-valiant-valkyrie#took me a bit to answr because i am once again reminded#that i fucking suck at answering trivia questions KJSDF#fabbylaris#only tagging for the cheese date

Hello I wrote this in the middle of the night at some point & have absolutely no idea where I’m going to go with it, but I really like it anyway & need to share it!
Buck experienced his first earthquake at 28 years of age, in Los Angeles, California.
However, that was not the first time he felt the world shake beneath his feet. In fact, he’s pretty sure he was born on unstable ground, tremors snaking out in the fault lines beneath him, dogging his every step of his entire life.
He doesn’t think he’s ever truly felt the ground settle; the glasses are always clinking, porcelain plates shaking, the foundation of every place he’s ever lived vibrating, holding its breath for the big shock to hit and bury him in the rubble.
He got used to it quickly, being that it’s all he’s ever known. He’s always waiting for the other shoe to drop, for the ground to crumple at his feet, Earth crumbling and sucking him down along with it. He can’t imagine living any other way, probably wouldn’t even know what to do with himself if it ever was a possibility.
He’s never felt the calm sturdiness of solid ground, would have no idea how to act if the noise and the shaking stopped and settled, would probably miss the quaking, if only because he only knows how to act then. He knows how to survive in that situation, how to balance his weight. He knows not to get too comfortable, when it’s time to shelter in place and when to move before he’s buried alive with no escape.
He messed up, though. Got too comfortable, swore the shaking was tapering off. He let himself wonder. Let himself start to envision who he could be if he didn’t have to cling to walls and bolted furniture.
He let himself think about taking a fear-free step out in the sunshine, and now he’s paying for it.
The cabinets have collapsed, burying him in shattered plates & shards of glass. The floor fell through beneath him, making it even harder to climb his way to freedom, and it’s nobody’s fault but his own.
This was his curse to bear, his reminder, that nothing ever lasted long. He allowed himself to think about *after*, when he should’ve known there would never be an after. There was never be solid, steady ground. There is only shaky ground and wobbly furniture and fear of what comes next, and he has to pay the price of forgetting that.
#911 abc#evan buckley#it’s giving lawsuit fic but idk I’m kind of burnt out on those#or maybe an Eddie moving to Texas storyline that I haven’t come up with yet#idk it’s fun & angsty#& only like a LITTLE bit projective lol#fic snippet#writing wip#maybe#it’s just kind of sitting in my notes lol

i have. so many bath and body works products
#it's kinda ridiculous at this point i think that's the only place i buy soap anymore#i think it's just bc i started getting burnt out over having to scour the shampoo aisle to find the single product my scalp isn't allegic to#it's nice having an option that's consistent but also has some nice variety#we have A LOT of little mini hand sanitizers bc we like having lots of different scents for different headmates#someone in our brain. for possibly the first time Since we found the word headmate. was really insistent on using alter there???#we usually all hate using the word alter on ourselves who is that#headmate helps us feel more separate in identity and more like a community#i think there is a guy in the brain rn who is. super set on going back into the plural closet. and it's been a struggle#idk why bc we made so much progress#i think it's just the. rampant community arguing all the time. makes us want to leave#we did the same thing with our queer identities where we were REALLY out for a few years and then suddenly went back into our shell#bc of constant arguing over my right to just be a fucking queer person without whatever arbitrary shit invalidating me#so we just. Stopped talking abt queer issues for a bit and stepped back a ton on neopronouns#like hey guys. maybe can we stop hurting real people in the community by turning the whole thing into a warzone

its genuinely so weird to try to make and maintain friendships with people when leaving the house is always such a huge, day-long affair
like at what point in the friendship do I explain, no, I promise I'm not avoiding hanging out with you, but I can't drive and the hour+ it would take me to get places on public transit is exhausting in and of itself.
and I promise this isn't some sort of "anxiety makes it hard to do things :((((" kind of post, I need you to understand the anger that resides in me when I realize that I can't do something simple like hang out with my friends. i'm furious that my brain is so broken that this is how I have to think about things
and yes, I do go out. yes, I get out of my comfort zone deliberately and on a regular basis. that really really doesn't matter. at the best, as long as we meet at the same time on the same day and neither of us move and nothing threw off my mental trajectory in the hours leading up to this, I can hang out for a few hours.
#i promise i am not Vauging about anyone im 29 years old#its just becoming more of a theme in the way i interact with people recently#and it feels horrible because it feels like the only options are some terrible compromise#i'm just so. deeply and profoundly burnt out that my cycle is work.home.work. home.home#home with door shut. home but outside for a little bit-oh my god no that was too much back to home with door shut#definitely related uhhhhh im gonna talk w my therapist abt agoraphobia bc. yeah

Do you have any other plans for the day?
Not really. ... Probably going to try taking a walk by myself and thinking about things later, just to clear my head. Just a quiet day and shit.
#a tool of their trade#the question desk#[mod is probably going to focus a little more on my other blogs for a couple of days! getting a tiny bit burnt out on this one so I just-#-want to make sure to pay the others some love and refresh my interest in this one a little!]#[I'll still be around/answering asks here and it'll only be a few days but I'll mostly just be sticking to the others!]

I have ideas.
I have a peanut gallery of friends that get excited.
I have at least a couple spoons, sometimes.
I keep having to actively choose not to think about my wips not work on my wips not even look at my wips because I'll want to work on them and I have too much work and homework and my exam is coming up and I'm aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I want to write :'(
#bliz rambles#i have one that's technically only about half written but outlined and really will likely only take a wee bit to at least get the rough#draft done#i have another thats sprawling into a leggy fucking nightmare and ive been letting myself spew the ideas i have for it in little notes in#a thread in my discord gc and i want to compile them so bad it hurts#one of my friends made a sidelong comment yesterday that made me rwalize ive had a solution to a fic breaking problem#in my lap the whole goddamn time#and i cant work on a single fucking one of them#because if i let myself write for fun im going to blow every last spoon on it i know i will#and i have so few right now#because my pain is being Mean and i have a lot i /need/ to get done with those few spoons#and so i wait#and im so afraid that by the time i have time again#i wont have the motivation or the ideas will dry up or i'll be too burnt#i already feel like a pile of ash#but i have ideas. and i have /hope/ which is /wild/ because i thought i didnt like writinf and i thought i was bad at it#but my god people like my latest fic#like a lot more than i thought anyone ever might fjdjdksk#theres only 7 public bookmarks but my stats page says there're 32 🤣#i will /take that fucking win/ and id like to run with it i really would#but i have so much to do#dont work 6 days a week kids. not unless you get /really/ good benefits and they pay you for drive time.#and even then probably dont

#ace is a grumpy bean#being super pale but rosy cheeked just means my face flushes super easily and makes it look way worse to an outsider than it is#like is something a little heavier than i would like? whole face bright red. am i little more active than i would like?#whole face bright red. is it a little warmer than i would like? whole face bright red. such treachery#people be like 'are you alright youre really red right now?' like yes i know she does that its a bit warm and i have no control over the#temperature nor my biological reaction to it alright fck off im fine shes overreacting#i just got back from grocery shopping and its too warm its a half hour walk and my groceries were heavier than normal so i came home#bright lobster red and its not even fcking sunburn like im pretty sure i burnt part of my arms cus i didnt put enough sunscreen on and#theyre less red than my face thats how ridiculous this whole thing is 😒 she be lying telling everyone im waaay more affected than i am#this has been relevant all week cus of work but i cant actually see how red my face is when coworkers are commenting on it only feel it

Hello, everyone! I'm feeling a little burnt out with writing atm so I'll be on hiatus for a little bit. I also have writer's block which I've been dealing with for a bit, hence my lack of posting. But once I start feeling motivated, I'll continue the requests y'all have sent me! I'll also be traveling for a family reunion and the full travel will take two weeks. But if i feel motivated by then, I'll write when I have the spare time! I hope y'all understand and I'll get back with y'all soon! Have a blessed day/night 😊!
#writers block#hiatus#only for a little bit#brain fog#until i feel motivated#burnt out#vacation#summer

so i have this project that my friends & i have been working on for a couple of years now where when someone new comes into the house they take elmer's glue & stick something Cursed to this canvas . we've set this thing on fire, sewed it back together, glued torn up fishnets & bird wings & unused condoms just like whatever the most cursed items we have are. but, but, but i forgot entirely that this is not a Normal Thing To Have. when the landlord had to come in & look at the windows a week ago & i remember her being like. well, we knew you were artsy but i didn't expect this & at first i thought it was all the canvases laying around or the painting on the walls but now i am very sure it was the cursed canvas & i have been laughing for the past 20 minutes or so abt it
#ooc.#tbd.#it's got a little bit of everything on it#an empty capri sun i got from a drag king#beef jerky label#lots of cigarette buds#a bit of a package i got from another friend#drawings & burnt polaroids of tiddies#my besties always put shit on it when they come over too it's not always a first offense only offense#it's also got little chunks of Teeth tho they're harder to spot#anyways it's all making sense to me right now#but anyways she said it while standijng directly in front of it#& its just now registering that it was the Canvas she was probably talking about

Another thing that happened tonight is I incinerated a weed brownie for no reason 👍🏻
#i’ve been freezing a lot of my edibles because my tolerance is somewhere in hell#my friend once described it as ‘ellen; every time you get high it’s like the first time. it’s like brand new to you’#she wasn’t wrong#SO i’ve been freezing weed brownies. this is fine. but then they’re frozen. shocking i know#so microwaving them for like 20 seconds is enough to get them soft enough to eat#so why did i leave one in the microwave for a full minute and just walk off. 😭#my microwave microwaves stuff for 1 minute by default if you don’t change it. and i didn’t. because i’m DUMB#i was working on autopilot and forgot i had a brownie and not leftovers#i wish i could tell you i noticed immediately but we all know i didn’t. i only noticed when smoke POURED out the microwave at 50 seconds#managed to avoid setting off my smoke detector through sheer luck. or maybe it’s just broken. god knows#anyway i ate the least burnt bit of the brownie but most of it i just had to toss because it was charcoal#it was literally ON FIRE#every day i ask why. why is this my life#i think i’m going to exclusively get gummies now because i can’t keep living like this#or like… how long do baked goods just last at room temp. a week? two?#i’ll be real i don’t think it’s a good idea for me to consume a 360mg cake in a week but i’m willing to give it a shot anyway#if you see me on the news don’t worry about it#personal#(i feel the need to clarify right now that it was only like 1/3rd of a brownie that i burnt#i’ve been cutting them into little bits and freezing them so i can thaw just smaller segments at will#and thereby have a lower dose so that i don’t end up on the news#so it’s not like i paid an egregious amount of money for a weed brownie and then set the whole thing on fire#it was a pretty negligible amount of brownie all told. but it was still upsetting)
