#only took me the better part of a year

[serpentarius]

Revelations are made, gifts are given, miscommunication ensues... will these two work it out?

Non-spoilery snippet from the latest update below the cut!

 "Welcome to the Remutaka Forest Park," Anton announces, smoothly transitioning into what Viago presumes is his professional voice. A casual smile graces his face as he makes the aside, "I'll be going over some ground rules, so if you could just bear with me for a second, that'd be awesome."

Viago nods wordlessly. He is captivated by this side of Anton that he has not seen before. 

“Right,” the other man's timbre deepens again. “You’re gonna be going in there with me, but if you manage to get lost, always remember," he puts up his index finger, "'Chinstrap tight, keep it in sight, back to marked trails, all will be right'!"

The vampire marvels. "Is this a rhyme that you have come up with yourself?"  

"Yeah, you like that?" Anton breaks into a satisfied grin, briefly abandoning his formal tone again. "Oh, sorry, just one more thing - if we see any wildlife, remember that we have to be respectful, keep a safe distance, and don't make any loud noises. And please avoid using flashlights or camera flashes, as that can disturb - er,” he wavers. “Well, I mean, I know you won’t do that, you and I don’t need flashlights, but just -” he clears his throat, “Anyway, just respect Mother Nature and stick with me, alright?” 

Viago puts a hand to his forehead in a salute. "Aye aye, captain!" 

“Alright, no need for that,” the other man chuckles playfully, swatting the air with his hand.

okay.

so it's either a very fancy very nerdy little anvil paperweight

OR

little tyelpe had a teeny tiny forge-like dollhouse made for him by feanor, who painstakingly designed every tiny detail and made all toy equipment himself because tyelpe, too young to be in forge, insisted that he absolutely needs to be a smith like his father and grandfather and needs to begin learning now.

and who was feanor to refuse his only grandson who wanted to learn his craft when he only started to walk without bumping into everything? feanor would be elated and would spend hours playing with tyelpe in his little forge. it was before the silmarils when feanor had all the time in the world for his beloved grandson.

the anvil was one of many parts of that dollhouse, one of few that made it to beleriand and the only one that made it through to the second age with celebrimbor.

he could never make himself part with it.

This morning, my therapist called me to let me know she's setting up her own practice via telehealth (which is what we were using Anyways) & asked me whether I'd want to follow her there. She still has to set stuff up with insurance stuff But her out of pocket stuff is like HALF what I've been paying out of pocket for the company she was in. So I was like, Hell Yeah let's do it

So im gonna keep up with appointments, maybe once a month or so, just so I have the accountability + the ability to ramble about what I've achieved. Bc that's been rly nice for me. I'll have my therapist back!!!! And better than ever, if only because I have to pay so much less for it 😂😂😂

And ALSO, today I put in my course request for the orchestra into the form. So different from just two weeks ago, where I was practically begging to be given a chance to audition. I was sitting in the same spot of the lobby even, but putting in my official orchestra request instead of sending an email as I vibrated in hope and anxiety. I Got It tho. And the class won't even be that late in the day. It's really exciting.

cant remember bringing this up for a while so honestly i'll never be over the reiiteration that jean himself has a bleeding heart. he is going to be both blunt and honest with whoever hes speaking to, but in a way that he hopes will come to help them understand the situation but also does it so whoever he's speaking with actually understands the full situation and what that may entail despite the gruesome outcome.

I'm going to lose my fucking mind

Oh my god one last thing my ex took me to outside lands and when we tried to watch lana del rey he laid down on the grass and had a “panic attack” (this was after months of him talking about how he didn’t like her) so we went to see foo fighters after a bit and he was FINE

[robinsnest2111]

[secrosss]

weekly dunmesh ep post here to say that as one of the eps that didn't follow their usual formula I loved this one to bits 😭 pacing felt just right, didn't feel that rushed to me (tho maybe that's bc I kept goin back to watch more details lol) and the canaries and yaads voices in sub are all really really good

1, 3, and 8 for the fun things to be asked

001. what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are? rather than just link you to my other answer, i will provide more (non-trauamtic) defining facets of my life: 1) my parents being almost 40 by the time they had me (38 and 39 respectively); 2) not getting my drivers license until i was 23 (follow this experience through the tag #kat learns to drive); and 3) my school in germany only having a mixed gender soccer team when i moved there in 4th grade

003. 3 films you could watch for the rest of your life and not get bored of? i feel like this is more difficult to just limit myself to 3. here's 3 random ones off the top of my head: eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, apollo 13, and the cutting edge.

008. any reacquiring dreams? unfortunately i don't, so i WILL be linking to my original answer here :)

ask fun questions!

[fiendishartist2]

[milo-is-rambling]

Honestly, the most bittersweet thing to find on the internet is good creators dropping beloved projects. For any reason, good or bad - life gets in the way, they moved on to other things, they went to another fandom. Like, they put so much effort into that creation, and they just no longer have the time and/or passion anymore. Every time I finish reading an abandoned fic or a comic that hasn't updated in a year, I always feel sad that they couldn't complete their project before things changed, but understanding (and even happiness for them if it's a good change) of their situations.

I have my own abandoned projects. I have two fics that I will never finish, simply because my loss of passion caused me to forget my plot. But I never lost my love for my fics, and I wish I was able to finish them. Maybe I will, someday, but the odds are that I will continue on with my current projects first before I consider my previous ones. I have this bittersweet feeling for all loved, amazing, well thought out projects.

I wish all artists had equal ability to accomplish what they love.
