Bathroom Remodel

As some of you probably know, my house was hit by Hurricane Harvey. We were a lot luckier than others given that we only encountered 8-10 inches throughout the house. Since a lot of things had to be replaced, it presented the perfect opportunity to make some desired changes to the bathrooms in addition to the other repairs I’ve been doing. This is the reason why I have been on an extended hiatus from Tumblr. I know you guys have missed my episode reviews! 

This is the before and after! And if you’re wondering... yes I am a Jane-of-all-trades, master of some! 😂😂😂 ENJOY! One bathroom down, one to go!

@livingwithashipname I totally agree

There is a really cool Waige x Ralph parallel between 2.22 and 3.19. The way Walter and Paige glance at one another when Ralph says something about Walter. 😉

And I’m so sad that I can’t gif it because for some reason I never got 2.22 downloaded.

39 & 47 for your most recent ask! 😉

Hi there, Ermanda! Thanks for asking!

39: Do you make wishes at 11:11?

I do! I’m normally in class at 11:11, but if I catch the time I make a wish.

47: Do you miss the way things were six months ago?

Kind of! I was back home then, finishing up high school. I miss my high school friends and being able to see my mom and my dog every day. But so far college has been much less stressful than high school was for me, so I’m also enjoying being in college.

Send me questions!

TV related thought of the day

I really really miss @livingwithashipname‘s “Scorpion” episode reviews #ErmandasInnerSanctum

I wish she had time to write TV episode reviews...still.

I have always loved Meshell! When I heard her music in Queen Sugar, I fell into a mood myself! She is so good at creating a transcendental moment with her sound.

Sorry I missed this yesterday, but so true. Been a fan since If That’s Your Boyfriend and the Wild NIghts collab, which dates me lol. She’s everything

shit u right @livingwithashipname

Writer prompts: C, P, W

C. Who is your favorite character of your own? Who is your favorite character created by somebody else? 

Heh... Well, it’s hard to say. I have so many ideas and have started works of my own, but a lot of them are just sitting on the back burner because I am having a major case of writer’s block or just lost interest in writing them. I keep all documents though in case an idea stemming from a previous one pops into my head. 

ANYWAY, so... I don’t know if I can answer this question. The characters I have created are incomplete and still VERY 2-D, but... if I had to choose, I’d probably go with Mingxia Miller. Personality wise, she is very much like me. She internalizes everything. While she seems shy and doesn’t like talking to people, she is VERY outspoken inside her mind. (If you are a Naruto fan, think Sakura-esque.) She feels like she can carry her problems all on her own and doesn’t see the need to seek for help or a shoulder to cry on, but as everything piles up, she can’t help but want to reach out. The problem is, she doesn’t know how, but slowly, she learns (throughout the story) it’s okay to cry and share her pain with others. That what she’s feeling inside is not burdensome to the people who care about her. 

(That’s all I can really say about Mingxia because I’m still developing her character.) 

My favorite character created by someone else would have to be Graceling’s Katsa by Kristin Cashore. Again, Katsa is a young woman who is forced to live a certain way of life and has learned to internalize everything. She’s a strong female character who thinks she doesn’t need to lean on anybody for support. She trusts few people, and those she does trust, she still keeps them at arms’ length. But, despite what she wants others to believe... what she wants to believe about herself, she struggles, internally, because of who she is and what she can do. 

Slowly, however, she starts to trust someone, and she falls in love, and she begins to realize she doesn’t have to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders. But, even though someone has managed to break past her walls and touch her soul in ways others couldn’t, she still remains strong and independent. No one defines her, and the man she loves understands that. 

P. What are your goals for things to happen to your writing? (Getting published, getting a good review, having a fandom, etc.)

One day, I would love to walk into a bookstore and be like, “Hey! I wrote that!” 

I think getting good reviews, on FanFiction, is encouraging for writers. Everyone has to start somewhere. While getting a good, fat and juicy review for an original work would be nice and rewarding, I think my ultimate goal is to get published. Getting reviews (good or bad) and having a fandom comes with the territory of being published. Some authors have small fandoms, and others have huge ones. At this point, I’d be lucky to even publish ONE book, haha. 

I’ll start with the goal of writing and publishing one book and see where that takes me. :)

W. What’s your biggest pet peeve in writing? 

I can’t say one way or another for my original works because none of them are published yet, but for FanFiction, my biggest pet peeve is actually receiving reviews begging me to update soon. @foxphile wrote an amazing post regarding said pet peeve (one most FFN writers share), and you can find it here so I won’t spend time repeating what she’s already written. 

Another pet peeve is reading a romance novel where female character crumbles to nothing when the love of her life leaves her to protect her (*Cough, cough, Twilight, cough, cough*). I mean, yeah, okay, the female character can grieve / cry her eyes out for a few days, but eventually, she has to get back up on her two feet and start living her life again. NO ONE SITS IN THEIR ROOM FOR THREE MONTHS AND STARES OUTSIDE A WINDOW WISHING FOR HIS / HER LOVER TO RETURN. (Unless they’re begging to be taken to an insane asylum.) I really dislike books who have characters define themselves by their significant others. That gets boring REALLY quickly. While I’d love for my ships to be all romantic and lovey dovey, I want them to be their own people too.

Waige, OTP meme, questions 8, 9, 29, 30!

(8) Nicknames? & if so, how did they originate?

Walter has never been one for nicknames when it comes to Paige, but when they’re alone, he never fails to call her “love” because he wants to remind her, as many times as he can each and every day, that he is ardently and irrevocably in love with her. MOST of the time, though, he calls her by her name because he loves the way her name sounds as he says it. 

Paige sometimes calls Walter “Mr. O’Brien” when she teases him, but when they’re alone, if she’s not calling him by his first name, she’s more relaxed with other terms of endearment so she’ll sometimes call him “babe” or “hun,” but she NEVER calls him “honey” or “sweetie”  because Ralph is her honey and her sweetie, not Walter. 

(9) Who worries the most?

I think they both do their equal share of worrying. 

Paige always worries about Walter, and Walter always worries about Paige - especially if her life is in danger. When that happens, all concerns about the mission, about saving the world, about protecting people don’t exist, only Paige’s well-being. 

(29) one headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heart

In fifty years, Walter will have to continuously remind his wife, every morning, who she is and who he is, and no matter how much he struggles to preserve her memories, to remind her of their love and their life together, he never gives up, and he never leaves her. 

She is everything to him, and even if she can’t remember, he knows in his heart that he is everything to her, too. 

(30) one headcanon about this OTP that mends it

They live a long life together, and despite their differences and their struggles, they never doubt their love for one another.
