@surgcns asked: “ how many mugs of coffee have you had today? “

"Only like ... four. Or five. Why - it's not that obvious, is it?" Because to Brandon it didn't even feel like the coffee was doing anything. He'd been up most of the night with Rebecca, who was having nightmares after being allowed to watch a scary movie at a friend's house. "Pretty sure I now know what it's like to feel like a zombie, though, if that helps with your assessment, Lillian."

@prettytragcdies asked: "what are you insinuating?" ( Presleigh & Brandon )

“I wasn’t insinuating anything, Pres. It was a completely innocent question.” While most would assume that the could would just have their baby at Chicago Med, since they both worked there and all, part of him thought it would be a bad idea to do so. Considering what had happened with his first wife, he was afraid it might happen again. If it did, he knew he wouldn’t be able to show his face there ever again. “I’m just making sure you really want to have the baby at Med; there’s other hospitals we can look into as well.”

Brandon would never admit out loud how adorable he found Lexie's rambling. He'd been studying her for the past few weeks now, having set his eyes on her, but he'd convinced himself she was way too young for him to ever have a chance with and had decided the best tack would be to go for friendship. Besides, it seemed obvious to him that she had a thing for Mark Sloan, and there was no way the OB could compete with McSteamy. Friendship would be it, then, but he was okay with that. He still hadn't actually moved on after his wife's death and he wasn't entirely sure he wanted to.

"Doctor Shepherd? Ever get over himself? Never in this lifetime." Brandon then looked around to make sure nobody in the vicinity could hear him, because the last thing he needed was the neurosurgeon finding out another colleague was talking disparagingly about him. "Do I look like the type of guy to come over when you're having a hard time and not bring alcohol?" he asked, pulling a bottle of tequila out of his bag. "I know this is your sister's weapon of choice so I'm hoping it's yours as well."

@mischiefxmanagcd asked: ❛ i know you’re not very good with disappointment . ❜ eons ago on the old blog

❝ Yeah I’m completely terrible with it, so that’s quite the understatement isn’t it? You know, actually I really don't think anyone's good with disappointment are they? ❞ Flustered, Lexie absentmindedly scratched at where her neck met her chest where she was probably already developing a stress rash. After starting rotating into neurosurgery she had really taken an interest in it and had shown natural talent. However, she had upset Derek in some way last week that she still didn't understand and had been watching other residents take amazing cases with him. ❝ I mean what if he never gets over himself? I can’t be a neurogod without his help… ❞

Rambling was one of her coping mechanisms, but Lexie took a breath and resolutely decided she needed to get her mind off of everything for the night, because pacing and rambling clearly wasn’t helping. ❝ Since you claim to know me so well Brandon, I sure hope you brought some alcohol with you. ❞

[comiiical]

Like I said last night before going to sleep, I will be playing and focusing mostly on that, however I will still write even if at what is slow speed for me (and if you know it that’s probably still too fast lol) and also might be picky and play favorites for which i am extremely sorry. I will only be writing the following muses:

Stephen: With Robbie or Oliver or Henry Golding

Allen: With Brant, primarily if not only

Elektro

Buck

Preston: with Ed or Matt

Eric: with Chris, only, Brandon’s too slow to open

Phoenix: with Matt or Michele or Joshua

Jaxton

Danny Rand

Matt Murdock

Walker

Takuya

Rafael

Peter: Michael’s version, possibly Casey too. Open for Tom as well? Or Henry. or Grant alt verse

Grant (Ward)

Patrick

Kelly

Jasper

Marcos Jr: also one I may use gifpacks for.

Pascal and Prescott (always together because they’re twins and identical lol)

Tanner (only Jacob though because yeah, I could use Cam too? but...)

Conner

Melvin (adult and young both)

Could be convinced for Sonny but will depend on what I have opened. In general, though, I will be focusing on those I can use icons or gif icons for rather than gif packs because that’s faster to open and only a handful of whom I can only reach to gifs or i prefer their gifs to their icons. I owe nothing with either of these as far as I know (recent, I mean, if it’s older I may and you are free to remind me)

Mid Year Book Freakout Tag

Stolen from @ninja-muse, this was a good distraction for a few minutes

How many books have you read so far?

126; fewer than I wanted to have read but there’s a lot of extenuating circumstances and reading must take a back seat to everything else. A few have been re-reads like Dance of Thieves, Red White & Royal Blue, the first three books of An Ember in the Ashes, and I will get to re-reading We Hunt the Flame in the next few weeks. 

What genres have you read?

A decent mix, I think. It’s still somehow dominated by fantasy and YA (or YA fantasy), but I’ve gotten in quite a few other genres like contemporary/ adult literary fiction, historical fiction, romance, sci-fi, classics, and some nonfiction, poetry, short stories, and graphic novels. 

Best books you’ve read so far in 2021:

Not counting re-reads -

Saga by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples (book 3 hurt so much)

Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? by Jeanette Winterson

A Memory of Light by Brandon Sanderson & Robert Jordan 

Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett (my favorite Discworld novel so far)

The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie

The Color Purple by Alice Walker

New Spring by Robert Jordan

The Emigrants by W.G. Sebald (was a bit hard to read but the flow and the emotional pull)

The Lives of Christopher Chant and Witch Week by Diana Wynne Jones (I’ve discovered that when I’m in a slump - usually because my reading has been too depressing or dry I just have to pick up a Jones or a Pratchett to fix things)

A Sky Beyond the Storm by Sabaa Tahir (I mean, I thought I was upset by certain things but then I checked the tagged posts on here and realized I’m normal, actually)

Spindle’s End by Robin McKinley

Curses are for Cads by Tamara Berry

The Goddess Chronicle by Natsuo Kirino

The Box in the Woods by Maureen Johnson

The Valley and the Flood by Rebecca Mahoney

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

Cures for Heartbreak by Margo Rabb

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

Best sequel you’ve read so far in 2021:

Uh, I’m gonna go with The Box in the Woods even though it’s not quite a sequel, it is connected to the main series

New release you haven’t read yet, but want to:

Lucky Girl by Jamie Pacton, Delicates by Brenna Thummler, Lucy Clark Will Not Apologize by Margo Rabb, and Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. There’s a few more but these are the ones I’m most anxious to get to.

Most anticipated release for the second half of the year:

I’m very excited for A Snake Falls to Earth by Darcie Little Badger, Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson, Hypnosis is for Hacks by Tamara Berry, and The Winners by Fredrik Backman - the intended release date is unclear but it looks like it should be out in English in November/ December but might be pushed to next year. (On that note, I am still waiting for The Winds of Winter and The Thorn of Emberlain.)

Biggest disappointment:

Ace by Angela Chen was well put together but nothing earth-shattering or even that affirming for me. I keep myself sheltered from discrimination so I don’t face the stuff that people in the stories related faced, nor is it like I’ve never heard of asexuality before. 

In terms of books I think were just bad, Coyote America by Dan Flores was a flop; it looked like it might be pretty informative and some parts of it were, but there were so many assumptions and presumptions, as well as poor argumentation, that it threw everything else the author was claiming into question. Brideshead Revisited and A Handful of Dust, both by Evelyn Waugh were also big disappointments, out of all the classics I’ve read so far this year they were both boring, stale duds in which nothing interesting happened at all and the narrative voice was even more boring and grating. 

Biggest surprise:

Um, The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. I thought it would be iffy but it was... it flowed well and highlighted the differences between the women and had such emotional depth and also drew so much attention to patriarchal religious structures and patriarchy in general. 

Favorite new author (debut or new to you):

Ooh, I’ve read quite a few debut novels - mostly middle grade since I’ve been reading a lot of middle grade since my own novel project falls somewhere between middle grade and YA and I want to study the story types and narrative styles and I like how they’re written much more clearly than YA and adult books and yet typically have great emotional depth. So for most notable debut authors I liked Rebecca Mahoney and Nora Shalaway Carpenter. In new to me authors, Rachel Maddow, Tillie Walden, and Natuso Kirino all have other books that I’m now interested in checking out. Actually I have one of Tillie Walden’s other books next to me right now.

Underrated gems:

I’m going to say Spindle’s End, The Goddess Chronicle, The Valley and the Flood, Cures for Heartbreak, the Chrestomanci series by Diana Wynne Jones, Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything by Raquel Vasquez Gilliland, Black Flamingo by Dean Atta, The Midwich Cuckoos by John Wyndham (a classic horror/ sci-fi novel), and The Thirty Names of Night by Zeyn Joukhadar

Newest fictional crush:

Was gonna say “don’t have any” but one could say that I love Marko in Saga (they draw him with such a strong jawline and he wears armor and has beautiful ram horns; bearded Marko was peak Marko) and Eleanor Wilde in Tamara Berry’s Eleanor Wilde mystery series might count.

Newest favorite characters:

the crew in Saga and Ashby in The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet stick out but really, I loved a lot of characters this year.

Book that made you cry:

Jumping Off Swings by Jo Knowles, Love & Olives by Jenna Evans Welch, and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid leap to mind

Book that made you happy:

Aside from the ones I already listed, The Transatlantic Book Club by Felicity-Hayes McCoy

Most beautiful book cover of a book you’ve read so far this year:

Oh but there’s quite a few! Like The Pull of the Stars, the vintage classics copy of Orlando, The Go-Between, The Valley and the Flood 

How are you doing with your year’s goals?

Well I didn’t make any official goals aside from my overall reading goal of 200 books, which I’m doing well on. I might up it to 250 but I’m not sure how demanding fall semester is going to be yet. Aside from that I just have vague goals to push my boundaries and read as diversely as possible - not just with things like #ownvoices books but in genre, all the different categories, as well. That’s going pretty well.

What books do you need to read by the end of the year?

SO MANY. I can’t give a list because there is no way to keep it concise.

Tagging: @softironman, @she-wolf-of-highgarden, @motherofkittens94 and anyone who wants to do it.

Missing Black Lives Matter

There has been an ongoing discussion on this blog about how cases of missing black men, woman and children do not receive equal attention from both detectives and the media. Studies have shown that recovery efforts for missing people increases if there is a larger amount of media coverage on the missing person. However, studies also show that there is a clear racial bias in the media when it comes to covering cases of missing persons--and numerous findings have confirmed that cases of missing white people receive more media coverage than cases of missing people of color. (source)

In an effort to spread awareness about missing black women, men, and children, I have compiled a (growing) list of unsolved cases in the US involving missing black people that have been covered on this blog. Links to full write-ups and active GoFundMe pages, petitions, Facebook pages and/or flyers connected to the cases are provided as well. Please share, sign the petitions, and/or donate to the GoFundMe pages if you can. The lives of these missing black individuals and their families MATTER! They deserve justice and answers. Feel free to send me other cases that you would like to have added to the list.

@csmistcres asked: “ you don't mean that, do you?  “

A hand ran through his hair as he contemplated Elyse's words. While he didn't usually come out so bluntly to say things, this time he had, and now he was wondering if he should have. He'd only told Elyse that he wasn't sure if he was ever going to want to be married again; not after the way things had gone with his late wife. He wasn't sure he could handle that pain again. And while that might not be fair to her, he knew he had to be upfront and honest.

"I..." he hesitated, not wanting to give her false hope but also not wanting to shatter her dreams completely. "I'm not sure. It just seems like tempting fate. We get happy, get married, and then something happens to one of us. I don't want to risk it." Even if he was a doctor who believed in all things science, he was still also very superstitious.

SEND 🤔 FOR AN NPC IN MY MUSE’S LIFE

Status: Accepting

@streetsofsecrets said: 🤔 janie!

Brandon Walker is Janie’s current cameraman and her replacement after she had a falling out with her old one, but they go back way farther than some news station job. For nearly most of Brandon’s life Janie lived in the apartment right across from his. His home life wasn’t too great, it was just him and his mother living alone in a tiny apartment really only fit for one that was a pig sty most of the time because both him and the house were neglected by his mother a lot. One day Janie noticed him sitting on the steps of their apartment building looking hungry with a scowl and sad look on his face, so she made acquaintances with him, took him out to eat, and he’s been hooked to her since. Janie saw a lot of similarities between her younger self and Brandon the more she talked to him and spent time with him in general, so she be took him under her wing essentially and cared for him in ways that his mother chose not to. Their bond was strong and it still is! Sometimes you’ll hear him slip up in a sentence or two and refer to her in a motherly way or flat out call her mom. He grew up admiring her and the work that she did for the local news station and sure enough he became interested in the field himself. He’s still in college fighting out what he wants to be exactly, most likely something that’s tech related, and to help him out money wise she decided to hire him on as not only a cameraman but paid intern as well.

Brandon couldn't help the smile that appeared on his face when Shreya didn't answer right away. He could almost hear the gears turning in her head, probably wondering if he intended this to be some sort of date or just a friends getting drinks thing. He'd let the night show for itself which of those it would turn into, because truth be told he had no idea if she felt that way about him or not.

"Perfect. Rebecca's also at a sleepover." It would be hilariously coincidental if they were at the same one, while their parents were out enjoying each other's company. "Shall we meet at Molly's or do you want to ride with me?" He would leave that up to her, knowing he could always give her a ride back here for her car later but not wanting to be too pressing about it. This would be a low-key night, after all.

@mischiefxmanagcd asked: “do you want to get a drink or something?” eons ago on the other blog

Brandon's offer was a little bit unexpected. They had come fast friends as peds and ob would often intersect, but she had no idea that he thought of her in that way. Or maybe Shreya was reading too much into an offer for drinks and it was a simple end of shift request. Really, she hadn't had much time to think about romance again with raising her daughter in the midst of breaking up with her long-time girlfriend when she'd taken the job offer at Chicago Med. Oh crap, she probably should respond instead of staring at him with a puzzled expression. At least she was rather extroverted and could recover pretty smoothly.

❝ Umm... sure! Tanvi's at a sleepover so I have a free night! ❞
