so interesting to me that people use the prophecy and harry being born to defeat voldemort as this idea that jily was predestined to exist, as if the things that made it possible for harry to have the hability to defeat voldemort did not all came down to snape loving lily so much he risked his life to ask voldemort to spare her which made her able to sacrifice herself and in consequence gave harry the love protection necessary to defeat voldemort. there were probably dozens of men and women that defied voldemort 3 times, so many babies born at the end of July. even the potters were an arbitrary decision, as we see with the longbottoms existing. but there was only one Lily and one Severus
#āoh you make everything about snilyā not my fault if theyre haunting this entire narrative#severus snape#lily evans#snily#anti jily? probably#also THE PROPHECY IS SELF FULLFILING I CANT BELIEVE WE ARE HAVING DESTINY DISCUSSIONS IN 2024#if voldemort just ignored the prophecy none of this wouldve happened and harry would be the normalest rich kid in the block i promise#long story short the thing that differentiates harry from neville or other babies born in similar conditions is snape loving lily

My writing/reading question of the day:
Do you prefer present tense or past tense? Or something entirely different like future tense? For writing AND readingš«¶
The more I write (I wish I realized how fun it was before this yearššš) the more I realize I like to play around with language & tense choice can have such a profound impact on how your writing comes across & even how I feel as Iām writing. With my oneshots Iāve been playing around with only present tense & my main fic is past tense (but present during the flashbacks - idk donāt ask it just felt rightš).
Or does nobody else think about tense and Iām just alone in thisššš LANGUAGE IS JUST SO COOL !!!!
#Iām not even getting into POVšš#like I prefer third person limited where you donāt have all the information#but I LOVE first person when the narrator is super unreliable (lolita secret history American psycho great gatsby etc etc)#plus#omg I just remembered the cortazar short story where heās getting strangled by his sweater that one makes me SO claustrophobic#and I doubt it would have been successful in third person#maybe you can answer pov too I just want to start a conversation about it bc Iām interested#I read something once in future tense and it was SO COOL#it was all kind of hypothetical and at the end of the story you realize that none of it had actually happened yet#I just love reading talk to me about itššš#I liked the conversation a lot about my confusion with the perfect tense#(in my defense I donāt use it when I speak in spanish/bable bcš¤Ŗ it doesnāt exist in bableā¦)

I may have many issues with Countdown but I can appreciate it for a few things and that includes Jason meeting murder Batman* (Earth-51 Batman)
I mean to start Jason clearly doesn't agree with the guy. He's very not into the whole "let's kill all these guys" attitude and thinks murder batman is crazy (and outright says so) But also. He puts on the suit he's given that this Batman made, he's fights with him. He mourns him. He's upset with the death. After Batman failed him on his own earth he meets one that accepts him
And augh. They haunt me. Aughh I wish I could write I wanna write and get to see a fic about them so so bad
(do Not tell me to just write it anyway please amd thank you. auuaaoighh)
Because like! The way murder batman was SO quick to start seeing Jason as his own dead Jason and start referring to him as such.
The way murder batman never got to know about Jason's Red Hooding but AUGH. Can you just IMAGINE the moral dilemma he'd have with that??! He probably would've killed a crime lord Jason before ever learning his identity, or learning it too late. Aughhhaoujgh
They had to kill off murderbatman he wouldve been too powerful otherwise. For example I think he wouldve Not been willing to let go of this living Jason
Multiverse kidnapping story where after meeting and then leaving, murder bat finds our Jason amd just. Fucking takes him and pretends it's his Jason. Augh that'd be so fun
This page is everything ^
Theyre so so normal about eachother. I'm chewing on them like a dog with its favorite toy btw
#*a batman. who. iirc. after his Jason Todd's death killed the Joker and then like every other villain n criminal the heros face.#Batman likes to say that if he killed. he wouldn't be able to stop. And this is the Batman who doesn't stop)#In my own reading I def saw their short story as trying to show Jason as someone who doesn't want to#and doesn't consider killing every criminal something Lost Days also does.#batman#dc comics#jason todd#earth-51 batman#for references i think its just the main countdown comic (none of the side ones)#and you just need to start at like issue 16-15? and go down. then read 1#(countdown. counts down. so its goes from 52 -> 1. not 1 -> 52)#also yeagh jason was the first red robin. he let tim have the suit. that is in fact the same suit#used briefly while tim was still robin and i suppose fully donned at some point after bftc#i have Thoughts about that too but not right now#ANYWAY. falls unconscious. falls asleepy. honk shoe mimimi. im out now its like nearing 2 in the am#i sure hope this is comprehensible

having read nearly all of the Jeeves short stories, itās so funny to me that Bertieās bisexuality manifests as casting a wide but shallow net at girls and a narrow but ridiculously deep net at men. He thinks girls are pretty on a reasonably frequent basis, and has tried to marry at least four women thus far (not counting the unwanted engagements), but when it doesnāt work out heās over it in 24 hours. Meanwhile he shows absolutely no interest in and never gives flattering depictions of 99% of the men in his life, but will praise Jeeves to anyone who will listen, wax poetic about his appearance (and get defensive on his behalf about it when a child insults it), and is absolutely inconsolable when they are separated.
(also Bertie is in no way allosexual. he is canonically terrified at the thought of reproducing. and due to the narrow but deep net on the other end I donāt imagine heās going around sleeping with loads of men, either. that manās either demi as hell or just entirely ace)
#red randomness#jeeves and wooster#bertie wooster#reginald jeeves#wooves#jooster#100 and up neat#finally determined my take on Bertie orientation and had to get the thoughts out#granted I have only read the first three short story collections + Extricating Young Gussie (re: none of the novels or last two stories)#so I canāt speak for the few stories following that or any of the novels#but this is my StanceTM#curious to see what that pastiche Jeeves and the Wedding Bells is like and whether or not it matches this#because if itās focused on a Bertie het romance then I have trouble seeing it#he truly doesnāt seem invested enough in women for it to carry a whole book???#theyāre more like crushes or cheery whims#while Jeeves is so close to his heart that he canāt bear to be without him. a source of comfort as a person beyond just what the man does#side note there are two pastiches Iāve heard about that put Bertie with Bobbie Wickham and that sounds untenable lmao#Bertie would be at his witās end#also I heard she gets a guy later anyway?? and at this point Bertieās already fallen out of love with her besides???#truly the greatest sin of those two pastiches is separating him from Jeeves though. good fucking luck#it also sounds like the show is kinda different?? but Iāve never seen it#anyway Iām rambling without all the information so maybe this is total nonsense but hey!

#butterfly soup#butterfly soup 2#ppkm#ppkmweek2023#is that the tag? idk idk#the first 'week' i participated in i genuinely thought everyone was making the drawings day of . like fully rendered drawings#so I did that. alas now I am no wiser.#I like how so many people chose stargazing because sleepover is hard to be honest. but I love maybe I'm not all you thought that's my.#favorite ppkm sleepover but I've already drawn it so alas! a different section of the story then#tried to draw them kissing in an industrial dryer yesterday it didn't go over well.#in general none of my drawings have gone over well as of recent. alas I fear I am experiencing extreme art block and burnout#u know I really need to finish roses are red. I re read that one to and it was good! and I just left that poor baby unfinished.#alas#roi draws#roi writes a short novel in the tags

Been having a rough couple of days. Send me asks?
#Long story short: Iām quitting my job! Yippee!! š#Donāt wanna get TOO into it but Iām so fucking tired of being treated like shit and getting blamed for things completely out of my control#Iām done. Iāve BEEN done for months at this point#And now itās at the point where my boss doesnāt think Iām doing my job right bc she keeps finding issues that again. Arenāt my fault#Iām sorry I canāt control everything for you! I donāt have that kind of power! I canāt make things magically happen the way you want!!#My other coworkers have been undergoing the same bullshit treatment so I know Iām not alone#But yeah Iām getting the hell out of dodge. My mental health has been sooooooo bad lately#I cannae. Iām going to end up dead in a ditch at this rate#Had the WORST panic attack of my life yesterday and my mom and I were both like. Yeah. Itās time for you to leave#Have fun running the department without me! Bye!! :)))))#Shima speaks#Vent#Anyway Iām a goddamn mess. Sorry. Lol!#Iām dreading going back to work on Monday I would literally rather claw my own eyeballs out#It SUCKS bc I know none of this is my fault but I still feel like shit anyway.#And I WANT to draw bc itās the one thing that makes me happy but I just#Canāt. Right now. Iām not in a good emotional state#It feels like physical torture to sit down at my desk and put my pen to my tablet#Slams my head into the wall#Iām soooo tired girlies. Iām so over it#Anyway. Send me asks. Keep me company while I try not to have another breakdown. Tee hee <3

why is so much of sewing just tracing and cutting and tracing again q_q i see why people get projectors and use adobe illustrator now
#drawing up a design that i can easily pattern from my sloper: š#actually having to make the pattern by tracing and cutting ad infinitum: š°#piecing together printer paper to get a big enough sheet of paper and doing this ten million times: š„²š#not to mention the IRONING.... prewashing the fabric and having to iron 8 yards of fabric???? excuse me????#and then distorting it as i iron bc it has a slight stretch and i got so tired i stopped being careful 2 yards in#and the way that you're supposed to press every seam... excuse me... am i just supposed to have my iron heated and on standby at all times#AND THE STEAM??? i just got stay tape the other day and thought it'd be a neat alternative to stay stitching#BUT IT NEEDS STEAM TO ACTIVATE (which okay makes sense) BUT long story short i'm too afraid to use the steam function#on my iron because none of us are sure if water should go back into a tank that's been in disuse for 30+ years#so instead i get this water spray pen and delicately spray down the length of each piece of stay tape#before i cover it with a piece of gauze and iron it. and then i have to iron it extra so all the water actually evaporates#oh and the spray pen holds as much water as half a pen so i have to walk to the kitchen every 10 sprays to refill it#and i have to do this for every curved edge on my pattern pieces#i mean the alternative is just stay stitching but then i would have to calibrate my settings for a single layer of fabric instead of double#which means i have to switch my needle out more and i'm still new enough that sometimes i install a needles wrong despite going through#all the same exact motions that i usually would. i'm LITERALLY suffering out here. anyway can't wait to sew or whatever#oh and did i mention i went to a sewing meetup recently? yeah...#everyone there bought like $30-$100/yard fabric and i was there awkwardly knowing i only buy like $12/yard fabric#honestly though i have the opposite problem people usually joke about. i find it So hard to find fabric i actually like#it needs to be the right fiber + right color + right pattern/texture + right weight + i have to know exactly what i'm going to make with it

*through gritted teeth* i am going to write my screenplay
#can you imagine if i had the ability to think through things easily and just know stuff and be able to work on this consistently#imagine! well anyway#when did i actually start the screenplay itself. i guess it was sometime last year. or the year before actually#but ive had this idea since 2019#tumblr poll do you care if my main character has an established backstory. its fine you don't need it#i think i need to have every element and detail of my story in place and making sense and then i watch a movie that has none of that#im also thinking more abt my short film idea#which is essentially a prequel of sorts to my main film idea#looking online to see what the general length of a short film should be and people..... hate living in the no attention span world#people being like if its longer than 10-15 minutes no ones gonna care/it'll be harder to sell are you fucking with me right now#its called short film not instagram reel. jesus#anyway that just means i will have to condense all my ideas which may make them funnier in doing that in a short amount of time#but you people have got to learn to sit down and watch things sometimes#its me and my screenplay against the world#<- my screenplay tag which is mostly full of posts talking about how i need to write it

recent lounging babey images
#he's so floppy recently and I hope it's just the heat. I think wamr weather makes everyone floppy and loungy#a beauntifulle boye...#cats#STILL working on posting some drafts. finishing new poll adventure.. other things... It's just hard with the weather and other things going#on. I've had a few more doctors appointments and other things to do recently that have to be done in a time limit#so I hvae to use my extremely limited energy working on that instead of doing the things I'd really rather do. :T#Main focuses though are keeping up better with doing and posting costumes + sculptures as main creative things. at least finishing the#main poll adventure story. Reworking the game I kind of abandoned for a few years. keeping up with game videos and a few other side things.#Especially the game though. I've been in a really worldbuildy mood recently. I just wish that was easier to manifest into something. I've#now put the worldbuilding slideshow reading video on pause for a while because it's SOOO long to do#and I think I should prioritize making games and stuff instead. but still other things. IT's just kind of like.. I have a whole world and#everything very built and planned out but now.. what do I do with it? what's the best way to share that? factual slideshows just going over#the information like a dictionary? make it into a game? write short stories? do art attached to the world? etc. etc. ?? There are so many#potential avenues I end up kind of flip flopping between them a lot because none really seem more beneficial than the others and they all#seem equally enjoyable and also equally hard so. It's like?? I guess just do what the hell ever and hope I made the right choice in terms o#cost benefit and reward for my time lol. ANYWAY.. Also why I'm in my 'trying to make friends' era still because I think having other creat#ive friends can help you find direction like.. people will meet each other and then go 'hey lol just for fun lets start a project together!#and then like 5 years later it's genuinely become something. etc. having other people to help weed out ideas and start small creative teams#together and etc. I feel is a very beneficial part of networking or whatever but also I have the social capacity of a stale bread roll and#am also inherently unrelatable to seemingly a majority of people due to my hermit wizard swag (detachment from general society and hyper#focus on fantasy worlds in my head gjhghj) so trying to meet people as a grown adult with social issues is Very easy and fun (it is not)#even very basic things like my core communication style is so incompatible with a lot of people it's like.. hhhh... People in this modern#age have GOT to stop being afraid of phone calls and/or text that is longer than 6 paragraphs. Work with me here. I WANT to talk to you. bu#I do not know what your emojis mean and it's physically impossible for me to type less than 85 sentences. please.. hhjgjgb#AAANYWAY!! I am working on things when I can given the circumstances (SUMMER).. hopefully some costume pictures and stuff soon. :'3#I've not forgotten about my art and etc. - as usual I just am bad at social media and also functioning if it's above 65F lol

Thank fucking god for doctors who give a shit about your health. I just met my new doctor who is going to be prescribing my T and I feel so relieved to have someone who actually CARES
#to make a long story short. right after I logged off tumblr in may my endo wrote my T script wrong and the pharmacy couldnāt fill it#I spent a month fighting with her office and my pharmacies (2 of them because my doctor told me it was the pharmacies fault)#the entire month of June I was not able to give myself any t injections and I got my period on my birthday#I made 1 phone call to my primary care doctor on the verge of losing my mind and she was able to get my my T within 3 hours#and now the doctor that trains her and her staff on gender affirming care is now my doctor#my old endo that wrote the script wrong called me a liar and her office treated me like shit. I hope they burn in hell#they upped my T dosage and then I had none for a month. you can not begin to understand the emotional whiplash I was having#I really truly do not understand how I survived. there would be days I would be crying and having panic attacks non stop#and now I have a doctor who I can talk to day or night. and not have to worry about a thing#yapping#anyways. I love you my new doctor. I am finally safe#jasperbarks

and the princessās son, desperately searching for a dragon egg to bring his mother out of her eternal sleep
#dragonfruit#makiia lucier#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#This is a really nice YA fantasy adventure! I enjoyed it a lot.#A unique and succinct narrative with some compelling characters.#I love some good magical animal companions!! whetu my belovedā¦..#I liked that there was barely any romance (I mean I could have done with them not Kissing At The End bc I want more stories with none but-)#(it is a 'the boy mc and girl mc get together I guess but there's not a lot of romancey content' kind of romance)#and there was a nice if brief development of a female friendship#it has reasonably light worldbuilding as far as the magic and dragons go - thereās definitely things I could have known more about?#but also I keep seeing conversations about how there need to be more short YA/MG books these days and yeah#I think this is an example of a decent short one!#obsessed with the cover as always

in honor of the all shall mourn cover reveal i would just like to mention that the main reason i got into this series is because i happened to subscribe to ellie marney's newsletter at the exact time she was running a promotional giveaway for subscribers so i won a bunch of book merch entirely by accident including a poster of simon gutmunsson which my sister refuses to allow me to hang in our bedroom on the grounds that it's too creepy but which did cause me to be like huh i guess i should actually read this book now
#i also have a bookmark and anthology of short stories by australian authors. and to be fair my sister is not WRONG it IS a creepy poster#and then i did read none shall sleep and the rest was history lol#pie says stuff#pie reads#none shall sleep#ellie marney

The best thing about Italy and Europe is that linen just- exists here. I can go buy a shitty cheap 100% linen dress like I would go to Fry's and buy a shitty cheap 100% polyester dress in America. Absolutely revolutionary for my wardrobe. I can't actually buy wardrobe enhancements because I have a carry-on suitcase, but the fact I still have the option is amazing.
#I can't wear polyester because something about my sweat clings to the fibers. I can only wear >60% natural fibers. I've slowly been#weaning all poly out of my wardrobe. The restriction helps a lot preventing impulse buys; but here my impulse buy is only restricted by $$#i am absolutely not crying over the $350 linen women's suit jacket I saw :( UGH it was GORGEOUS and GREEN. I want a linen suit so bad#but honestly it's the kind of thing I should just spend a thousand on and get bespoke I think. It'd look better and feel classier#if you're spending that much money on a thick linen knit in the first place.#Okay tag essay: but can we talk about linen knit fabrics? I've seen so many beautiful linen weaves this weekend I'm losing my mind.#I think there was a kind of Tricot or Bird's Eye knit linen simple-curve dress that blew me away. The amount of work you can do with#two colors and a fashionable knit is insane. Then you wear a jacket over it and the linen is still light enough to wick away sweat but#heavy enough to look fashionable and stay flat. There's really this talented balance of texture that shines in linen. I love linen so much#Anyway! I should've made another post for this but none of these ramblings are important lol#I'm really tired after Anacapri. and dinner. Dinner was kind of dumb. There was confusion about what I wanted. We just wanted#appetizers to share but they gave me a whole plate of octopus. Which I feel bad about eating and don't like the texture after 10 bites.#So I had to give it to dad. Long story short I didn't want to eat anything at all; I wanted to WRITE. But I didn't write. I ate.#I'm already like 10 pounds heavier than when I left lmfao. It's starting to pack on my hips. Damn you Italy!#ptxt
