Succession review: Buckle up, f---leheads, things are getting real

[amoremagnificentbastard]

@aevallare tagged me for this. Kissing you so much.

words posted: 10,164 (I cry because I wanted there to be more)

additional words written: 29,849 (almost half of this comes from snippets and scenes I wrote in my phone notes app)

grand total of words: 40,013

fandoms: BG3 (because I have blinders on)

highest kudos: i'll peel my heart like a pomegranate if you promise it won't go to waste - 130 kudos

highest hit oneshot: see above - 1,725 hits

new things I tried: I posted smut for the first time! I also started participating in group events, like server exchanges and bangs!

fic I spent the most time on: say yes, but only if you want to (because I started the second chapter, ripped it to shreds, started over and wrote more, ripped that to shreds, and now I'm about 4k words deep into the third attempt and I think when I finally go back to it I'm going to end up ripping it to shreds again)

fic I spent the least time on: what's one more mystery after all the rest? (a gift fic I wrote for @kittenintheden as part of @thekindredcollective's Fall in Faerûn prompt event)

favorite thing I wrote: say yes, but only if you want to (and I'm really surprised I'm saying that)

favorite thing(s) I read: Don't make me choose. I read so much, from so many wonderful authors. Here are my Ao3 recs. I reread many of them often.

writing goals for 2025:

write something every day (specifically something that makes me happy)

learn to write without stopping to edit along the way (because I am so bad at that right now and stopping slows me down so much)

new works:

i'll peel my heart like a pomegranate if you promise it won't go to waste

say yes, but only if you want to

what's one more mystery after all the rest?

This ain't much. But it's a start. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms when I got here. This was a creative outlet I thought I'd lost for good. I'm so glad I was wrong.

Tagging @kittenintheden, @gilded-glitter, @deadly-diminuendo, @honeybee-bard, and @pinkberrytea if you'd like to share!

THE UNKNOWN IS OFICIALLY MY LEAST FAVOURITE DBD KILLER WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE THAT EW EW EW EW EW

Neville once got the entire fleet of mail vans pulled from service for a month because the Amazon giant centipede he ordered through the mail, chewed a hole in its box and escaped, and no one knew which van the centipede was in.

Percy hates centipedes,

Especially giant venomous ones running loose in the mail vans.

So does Rebecca, who hates bugs, but yet Neville still loves to show off his bug collection to her, which also includes placing Madagascan hissing cockroaches on her face because she can’t say no, and Neville is all “but they are so cute!!”

But isn't running from a narrative in a way - a kind of narrative? One that you trap yourself in?

AS LONG AS I DON'T HAVE TO LIVE, LAUGH AND LOATHE, LET SOMEONE ELSE BE THE BUTTMONKEY! REDEMPTION ARCS TAKE ALL THE JOY OUT OF LIFE! ALSO, CAN YOU REALLY BLAME ME? LOOK WHERE PLAYING ALONG WITH THE NARRATIVE GOT "ME" SO FAR. A BUNCH OF MES ARE STILL STUCK IN THE DUMB THERAPRISM BECAUSE THEY BOUGHT INTO THAT STORY! I'M BIGGER THAN THAT!!

My little Minitru exterior model 🥺it’s so cute and tiny and finished

The interior model is three times as large and a fucking nightmare to design because it’s the exact same thing over and over again, and Particubes has no copy-paste function so it all has to be done by hand

listen okay I understand the appeal of a pottery date in theory….like yes we get to create things and you can sit behind me and help mould my clay on the wheel or I can sit behind blah blah blah….but if anyone actually took me on a pottery date I would scream and run cause that sensory experience is an absolute nightmare….wet clay all over my hands with a spinning wheel which means some sort of vibration against my fingers……actual hellscape

I don't mind the idea of being perceived by strangers because I know that mostly I am a short interaction/thought in thier life and then we both move on with our lives

But the idea that I am perceived by my friends frequently!! and that they have feelings towards me that I don't know about!! That is not ok, nope don't like that, what thoughts are you having????

Sometimes I think a lot about my mom's cat

My mom's cat is a common domestic shorthair we found on the side of the road as a kitten

Regular cat, not a maine coon or one of those massive breeds. His mom was smaller than a loaf of bread

But in a sort of a Clifford The Big Red Dog situation, he grew super fast, and really really big, and took a super long time to stop growing

Worried that she was overfeeding him, she eased back his portions, but he stayed a massive round baby

When he started having kidney problems, she took him to the vet.

The vet took a look at him and said, "holy fuck, what are you feeding him", checked the nutritional listings on his chow, and told her "Yeah, maybe he's reacting badly to the amount of grain in this, try a meatier diet"

So my mom wound up special-ordering this specific high-protein prescription cat food made of like. Kangaroo meat or some shit that cost like sixty bucks a bag

And, as typical act two in an episode of House, he somehow got worse on the fancy specialized stuff that was supposed to be Primo Athlete Olympic Feline Blend

Like. WAY worse. His guts were inflamed and his kidneys were shutting down and he was all sore and HE WAS STILL HUGE, just miserable and sad

So shetook him back to the vet, where they had to help him pee (he was apparently close to bursting and had some kind of blockage too) and went "Yeah no this is NOT normal and we don't know what's going on, we're gonna do some tests but in the meantime you should go back to what he was eating before, at least that wasn't actively killing him" so she did

And he still wasn't great, but he also improved

And so they take his blood and do an ultrasound and a couple g's later she gets a call back like "this is gonna sound crazy, but we want you to put him on a low-meat diet. Just the least amount of protein and iron and shit. We need you to find the grainiest, filler-iest dollar tree kibble available and give him some of that bad bad shit"

And my mother is a woman of science. So she did

And he GOT BETTER

His energy picked back up, inflammation went down, he started drinking normally again, got back to pissing like a fuckin champion

And so it turns out that out of all the random ass freeway bonus cats we possibly could have scooped out of a ditch, WE got the one-in-a-million freak of nature with a SPECIFIC genetic defect that means a paleo protein free range diet is essentially poison and he THRIVES on cheap ass garbage

Like. He medically NEEDS junk food

I dont really understand how that works, but i cant argue with results.

If we had four of him, they'd outweigh my mom. And he's FINE

Also blind, but that's unrelated

Im not using him as a symbol or a metaphor or anything. I just keep catching myself thinking about my mom's Big Fucking Cat
