How's "Of Gutters and Galaxies" coming along? Hasn't updated in a while. No rush! Take your time. Just wanted to check in
Thank you for checking in! In a sense, it was on the back burner, then I forgot about it, took it off the stove, and it's sitting in the fridge.
Real talk, I do want to finish it by the end of the year. But every time I sit down to outline the end of the fic, I freeze up with all these questions of if the ending I'm imagining is the ending I want to give it, if I will continue the fic in a series, if yes am I gonna merge it with an AU I've already made or crave out a new, and if I do continue it then I have to adjust the ending accordingly for a smooth tie in. And it all gets so overwhelming that I just give up and work on something else, typically shorter and without existing connections.
I also get torn between wanting to write the ending in its entirety and then posting chapters on a schedule or working one chapter at a time so I have time to mull over where I want the story to go. I can't say how many chapters or words are left, but I will say, where the fic currently is, is what I would consider the end of the second act of a three act story. Like more is going to happen but again I try to think over what that more is and freeze up.
Life has also gotten crazy between working to pay off medical bills (which I did in full earlier this year!!), going on a trip with family, a death in my extended family, and now working to pay off my credit card debt. I can't take on more hours at work since I'm already full time so I've been donating plasma twice a week because I also want to pay off my credit card by the end of the year. Plus I got yanked into a tricky phone plan situation which put even more of a strain on my finances and got surprise dropped from my family's insurance so I had to scramble to get onto my employer's insurance and reschedule a ton of appointments I had made months prior to getting dropped. But all of that is a rant post for a different time.
And just to be clear I don't mind asks like these! I actually like them! It makes me so happy to know that even though it's been literally forever since I updated you like my work so much that you took the time to check in on me and see how it was progressing 💜 (even if it did mean getting an extended pseudo vent post in return lol)
#thanks for the ask!#like i said its in the fridge#but i do hope to pull it out and reheat it soon!#of gutters and galaxies

OKAY. OKAY. WINTERS FAMILY TORMENT NEXUS. as i've said before this is all REALLY vague rough outlines bc i wanted to bounce it all back n forth with u. but. what i have:
>winters family (mark & ashe & fridged mom/wife) live in a location hit by the simurgh
>mark is at work when she arrives. something horrific happens at home. maybe his wife is injured or hurt, but not killed. ashe (7/8/9) triggers. whatever his powers are, they. do Not help heal his mom. in fact the opposite.
>mark tears back home asap instead of leaving as soon as he hears her song, actively choosing to stay in her effect zone for his family. finds newly triggered baby ashe & the rest of that scene.
>theyve spent too long in the affected zone to be allowed to go free, especially since ashe triggered from it. mark nukes his whole past life & ashe's to escape without undergoing all the protocols. he spends ages doing shit work to support him & ashe bc theyre both legally dead, ends up working for overlord, manages to get enough of a fake past to get through cauldron background checks & get powers? it'll pay so much better than the grunt work he's doing now & he has to support ashe (powered)(legally dead)(would probably be executed if anyone Found Out)....
anyway to me the trickster is like. the endgame of this specific simurgh rube goldberg. somehow it doesn't end horrifically, for once! but it gets. bad. the fact that they're simurgh survivors is always looming over their heads. its why mark fucking freaks out when ashe joins the wards. literally have nothing more specific than this though u gotta help me put meat on these bones!!!!! STOP "being responsible" and "doing work" and stuff START thinking incessantly abt nhw ashe!!!!! i don't even know his powers bc i have no clue how he triggered!!!! augh. god. them..... mods torture that blonde man in the most narratively satisfying and fucked up way possible!!!!
QUIT YOUR JOB JOIN MY EMO WARDS !!!!!!!!!!!!! god dude god dude I'm gonna be thinking about this all fucking DAY . who needs to be responsible and have a job. not me!!!! FUCK !!!!!!!! dude im just. thinking abt mark being at work getting the notice to evacuate and starting to hear the song and. bc it's important to me that he's a little bit of a coward. it takes him longer than he will ever admit to decide to go back to his family. he definitely hesitates and hates himself for it because. what if he had gotten there 10 minutes earlier! who fucking knows! he never will!!
god man I'm just thinking about. that scene where they're in the hospital waiting to hear back about noelle and the person (ai?) at the desk is giving them the rundown of all the containment procedures and handing them paperwork and asking them if they can pay for the medical care. how fucked up would that be to hear after you're in the midst of losing everything. mark winters the universes most hated man. I looooooove the satisfaction in thinking about that snap decision where he goes from "relatively normal if a little emotionally repressed but otherwise does his best suburban dad" to "my wife is dead and my son is fucked up and there's this fucking sound in my head that won't go away I'm about to erase everything and break several laws in order to get us out of here" and how that eventually leads into. supervillain. it's just soooooooo. sickos haha yessss the downfall of this fucking miserable blonde guy. when do you think he consciously made that choice. he heard "you're never going to get out of here and live a normal life again" do you think he just . sat with that for a while. ashe unresponsive either due to shock or fear or the trauma of triggering/whatever his powers are and mark just has to sit there. by himself. like what the fuck am I gonna do now. auaghghghghhhh I need 2 make him so miserable forever. fuck that guy i hate his ass (<< me when I lie)
I THINK . I NEED TO SIT FOR A WHILE AND FINISH THESE NEXT COUPLE CHAPTERS AND PROCESS A LITTLE MORE BEFORE I MAKE A SOLID DECISION ON ASHES POWERS. but you knowwwww it's gonna be some fucked up horror shit. it has to be. it has to be something fucked up enough that mark forbids him from using his powers and keeps him . at home isolated for his own good. but not TOO fucked that he wouldn't be able to join the wards.
actually speaking of. HOW THE FUCK DOES HE JOIN THE WARDS. I know mark basically fucking erased their whole identity and everything but. there's noooo way the prt would let this kid join them. right?????? right????. how the hell would that even be a possibility with all the precautions in place for simurgh survivors. THEY EXPLODED THAT ONE CAPE GUYS HEAD BECAUSE HE STAYED IN PROXIMITY FOR A LITTLE BIT TOO LONG. maybe it's unofficial. maybe he never Officially joins them but he sneaks out while mark is gone and meets the boys somewhere and they become friends out of costume first. and then they learn about his powers and ashe is like "I can help!" and helps them like. as a rogue or something. but hes never registered as an official cape. is this anything. im thinking about him so much what the fuuuuuck have we done. what have we done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#ALSO I HATE THAT YOU SAID FRIDGED ABOUT HER. IN THIS SPECIFIC CASE. WE CANNOT BRIAN FRIDGE MRS WINTERS .#going 2 be in a fugue state for the rest of my shift trying 2 think about ashes powers and how they manifest#bc its totally understandable that hed trigger during an endbringer attack where theyre supposed to evacuate but his mom is hurt#and shes telling him to go without her bc they have to evacuate before simurgh gets there#bc she knows how dangerous that is and wants him to be safe but he cant just LEAVE her hes only . 8 yrs old !!!! and his dads not home yet!!#and he doesnt understand why everyone is panicking !!!! LIKE. THERES SO MANY POSSIBILITIES THERE. AUGHGVGRGRHGH#GODDDDD DUDE. IM UNWELL. I NEED 2 GO FEED MY SNAKE . BUT I WANT TO SIT HERE AND FINISH READING THE NOELLE CHAPTER.#i didnt grt to read on my lunch break at all so im DYINGGGG . im at the part now where krouse is fighting the guard in her hospital room#while she is in the MIDDLE of having her serum induced trigger and its taking her a really long time#aauaghgrhrhrhr i NEED TO KNOW WHY SHES SO FUCKED UP.#head in HANDS#ohhhhh nhw winters family im so glad to be here. and also im so so so sorry#asks#new haven wards#friends!!!#intertexts

Im super charmed whenever they include tsukasas corpse inside the freezer its so funny to me ... that man is not in cryostasis he is straight up dead
#Dr stone#i think its interesting actually that senku proposed cryonics because everyone knows its bullshit ... like i turn a blind eye to the scienc#in this series a lot but i think that was the most open use of pseudoscience without any sort of clarification whatsoever... i recall at th#end they might have said something like senku was mostly just preserving the body because he already theorised that de-petrification could#bring dead people to life as long as the body is intact <- or maybe i dreamt this up because i like the show so much that i fill in plot#holes by myself but you know... like on one hand senku did say he was going to kill tsukasa by freezing him but did he actually know to wha#extent... no he MUST have known !!!! He must have known this is one thing i wont budge on he literally must have known that resurrection wa#possible as long as they acquired the petrification tech because otherwise the whole point of that trip was null thats why he wasnt too#surprised when tsukasa told him that hyoga died and came back to life when he got petrified too ... like when he literally got torn to#shreds by a machine gun and stopped breathing and went cold and tsukasa was like oh shittt..... fingers crossed lol#but it would have been nice for senku to be like -_- i already knew .#anyway thats not the point look at tsukasa in the fridge o o

Fell back asleep for a while (still have a horrible headache btw) and I had the most disturbing dream that I'm going to tell you guys about in the tags
#so i was on a road trip with a bunch of people i dont even know and there were like 10 of us packed into a van#and they were so fucking loud and my head was hurting even in my dream so i was like CAN EVERYONE PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP#and we get to this hotel or like house place thats like a hotel#amd we go inside and i go check the fridge and there was a thick lemonade snoothie looking drink in this clear pitcher in the fridge#and i pulled it out and look inside and there was a live fucking lizard in there all covered in the smoothie stuff trying to escape#and i was like damn i should let that outside in a minute#but i went to looks for meds first bc like i said my head was hurting even in my dream#and when i come back the pitcher is empty (no lizard no smoothie stuff)#and i was like ...... did someone drink this??#and this guy was like nah that was cake batter i put in the oven#and i was like YOU FUCKING PUT IT WHERE????#so i get this sheet pan out of the oven and there is a half baked cake and in the middle was the lizard all charred and dead looking#and i was like fuck dude you killed it#but then#BUT THEN#the fucking lizard gets up and jumped out of the cake batter and starts speed running around the place like up on the walls and ceiling#and it seemed pissed as hell#like rightfully so bc someone tried to bake it into a cake but still#so i was running around trying to stay away from it bc i got the impression that it would bite whoever it got close to#and then i woke up and for a second it felt like something was crawling on me#and i had a small/brief panic as i checked the bed for any lizards (there was nothing there)#and now im awake and my head hurts even worse and my throat hurts and my body hurts and its very possible that im sick

Silently doing things to support my autistic dad who refuses to acknowledge he's autistic
#like not pushing his drink to the back of the fridge or he will forget it exists#or buying his safe snacks because hes an extremely picky eater#or asking him about calculus to make him happy#(“ITS THE LANGUAGE OF THE UNIVERSE ITS SO FUNDAMENTAL”)#or being patient because he hates change#and i mean hates it.#and i mean he cannot function if his day schedule is changed.#he has said that if he could he would like to life the same day to day routine forever#and hates travelling#but no dad youre neurotypical

Friday night is gonna be lit
I have stir-fry plans and iguana marriage plans and I got a beer and we have cartoons to watch. Sick
#internalmelon#i like to buy the overpriced pint cans because if I buy a sixer then I either leave 5 in the fridge forever or drink them all in one go#but if i buy one drink then i can be done after it#because i guess im kind of all or nothing like that which sucks#my body doesnt tell me when to stop eating or drinking anymore for some reason so i need to make or buy reasonable portions#i went from not eating to not being able to tell when im full until i feel ill and vomit and it kind of sucks#even water. i either forget to drink water or i drink it until i start spitting it back out#my first year trying to get better i involuntarily threw up every day for 6-8 months and it sucked so bad tbh#i think something is broken but my last therapist said my body would remap the cues over time or something? idk it sounded reasonable enough#i still often forget and need a reminder if my meals aren't scheduled in advance. i still eat myself sick if the portion size is too big#idk it sucks#i said it sucks a lot and its true but im excited to officiate an iguana marriage and watch cartoons and have a beer!!!#i wanted a kirin but sapporo is good too

You're supposed to have good reasons for killing off characters, right? Is "my best friend who made this character for our DnD game is now dead and writing the character without him feels like sacrilege" a good reason?
#im feeling maudlin tonight i guess#i have been having trouble figuring out how to deal w this character plot-wise#and now i have finally said fuck it#im fridging the character#he shall die to further my characters plotline#and help start her (dubiously healthy) habit of collecting younger siblings!#because her actual blood-relations sibling died!#and it feels poetic to have the character die the same way my friend did#off screen and with no closure for those closest to him#its been nearly 3 years and im finally feeling like writing this story again but the plot needs so much help

i was just sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast, having greek yogurt with grape nuts - which i thought was perfectly normal - and my mom cam in and with complete sincerity told me that i needed to have some fruit with it because otherwise i was basically eating plain sugar. am i going insane here
#boink#i went grocery shopping for her the other day and apparently i got the wrong yogurt bc it has too much sugar and fat in it#idk#anyway she got mad at me for eating yogurt the other day too#i had had one spoon of it after stirring it up out of the fridge#and she got all prickly and asked if i ever check the serving size on food#and that i should pay attention to how much i was eating and put it in a bowl instead of eating it out of the container#which i was notable not doing#anyway#she also got upset when she noticed it was the wrong kind and said that i needed to be careful eating it because it's basically candy#and THEN when i got upset abt this she said not to get mad at her for caring#which#ok#but i just#god#i dont know#im the fattest person in my family#when i was a kid one of the traits that i sort of adopted bc people said it abt me was that i was 'always hungry'#even though that wasnt true#that im not picky and ill eat anything which /again/ is not true#and now that im older i can just tell. that people look at me and think i'm gluttonous. like it's a sin right#and i know especially with my family that that's what theyre thinking about me#i already have so much guilt about wanting things and enjoying things#like this year at school i feel like i was doing so well with that kind of thing#and i gained weight of course i did of course#and thats shitty and whatever the fuck but also i didnt hate myself for it a lot of the time?#and now im back in my house and its just like. i dont know#i need to work through things one step at a time#and i just cant#i mean not with everyone watching

Rewatching jacob gellars Pinocchio video to rewatch tng measure of a man to watch metropolis to read rossums universal robots to better argue about why modern tf lore sucks.
#some shit#its not called cisformers#I HATE UR STUPID ROBOT JESUS RELIGION I HATE IT SO MUCH#why have you abandoned the idea of the robot as the worker.#why must our characters be divinely created and have souls in order to be compelling. or worse. alive.#they idea that any sufficiently complex machine might live might feel might fight for their freedom#is uhhhhhh INFINITELY MORE INTERESTING TO ME.#WHY DO U HATE THE PLIGHT OF THE ROBOT.#i mean theres even smth to be said about the derision towards blue collar labour being present in the text of some iterations.#and this is DISREGARDING. the bonkers yonkers sexism of it all.#even if u made it the most feminist gender parity & intelligently engaged with alien robot gender from a non binarist viewpoint#religious lore EVER. axe the fridging and the groundgina from EXISTENCE.#i still wouldnt think it more compelling than#the five faces of darkness quote 'we tf have looked into the face of our creator and we have seen an enemy'#<- creator Literal Sense. the people who Built labourer robots do NOT like those robots being a sentient autonomus species. go figure

#went to see boy on wednesday#took a long walk through the park and bought groceries for the lake picnic we had planned for the next day#came home and unpacked our groceries#i stooped to put stuff in the fridge and i said i dont like cheese because its just gross conceptually#and then i stood up and he said no its not#and then he backed me up against the kitchen counter and kissed me#and we spent the rest of the evening playing video games and having sex#and then we went on our little field trip to the lake and it was so nice#and he flirted with me on the way home#and when i started getting dressed after my shower he said 'what are you doing getting dressed?' and then well you know#unfortunately im leaving town on sunday and he's leaving town like right when i get back#but he said 'i'll be thinkin of ya' on my way out the door so that's nice...maybe absence makes the heart grow fonder...#im going to try and make him fall in love with me this summer#boy.txt

the worlds smallest snail had just gone freak mode on an emergency room inducing sandwich
spins around too fast and has to go back to the emergency room
#finnbox#IM JUST A LITTLE GUY OK#ok the extent of the story is pretty much that i had to go to the er after my attempt but it was around dinner time and when i was asked if#i was hungry i said yes and then the nurse walked me to a fridge that had exclusively ham and cheese sandwiches on white bread and they were#all just a little bit flattened as if the hospital ordered them from the sandwich store in bulk#i went back to the room and had the worst fucking food experience of my life it was so cold and vaguely soggy and i also didnt have shoes on#so i was freezing it was like a nightmare#sometimes i wonder to myself how i recovered so unremarkably and steadily and im starting to think its because i hated that sandwich so much#ANYWAY.#sui ment#< i guess. im ok im completely at ease w that experience because im much better now nd its actually close to my third year anniversary of#recovery :3

I woke up at 1pm wanting a simple bodega style egg'n'cheese and yet my extra ass is here hours later with a plate of duck bacon (when the duck bacon goes on deep discount you buy it no question), onions crisping in duck schmaltz, toasted croissants, and homemade garlic and herb aoli
I lost the plot somewhere I think
#am i disappointed? no this is about to be the most bangin' egg'n'cheese ive ever made myself and the bf#the flat smells phenomenal#ive even got a lunch time glass of cheap rosé on ice with olives asnim cooking#but i very much lost the fuckin plot of a simple bodega egg'n'cheese#its like i opened the fridge and tony Bourdain said nah you're not saving the nice shit for sunday brunch absolutely not#and yes i agree that croissants do not have the structural integrity for a good egg'n'cheese but the bf requested it so
