✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩
All the fics I’ve read and really enjoyed in the past week-ish. Reminder: This list features any and all ratings and themes. Please look at tags and warnings on ao3 before reading.
Marvel
Dumb, Dumber and Dumbass by tempestaurora
As Coach Wilson peered out the window in the living room, May said, very quietly, “You didn’t realise your brother worked at Peter’s school?”
“We all make mistakes!” Sam hissed.
Then Coach Wilson was leaning back and a figure in a hoodie and jeans stepped through the window and into the living room, and Peter’s heart sank into his stomach like a rock. Sam’s brother was, true to story, scarred from head to toe. He could see the puckered skin on his hands, the burns across his bald head. But that wasn’t the shocking part—the shocking part was that he’d already seen it before: he’d seen it when a certain vigilante’s suit had been destroyed three nights before, and Peter had walked with him back to his backpack to loan him some clothes.
“This is Wade,” Sam introduced.
Sam Wilson had two brothers: one was Peter’s gym teacher, and the other was fucking Deadpool.
OR: A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Family Dinner, during which Peter and May meet Sam's family. Meanwhile, Tony sends constant text updates about his search for whoever graffiti-ed Avengers Tower.
Death Before Inaction by hppjmxrgosg
"Fuck off, Nicky.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Hasn’t anyone ever told you spider-napping is illegal?” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “You can’t hold me here, I know my spider-rights.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “God, you guys are so old. What are you? Like 27?” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Scale of 1 to 10, how upset would you be if I told you I banged your mom?” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Or, I got my grubby little hands on the spider-man time line and fucked around a little bit. Not much (everything) changes.
DC / Star Wars (Crossover)
Obi-Wan in Gotham by hoebiwan (+ podfic)
Obi-Wan falls through a hole in the universe and ends up in the Batcave.
Clone Wars
the war has just begun by unintentionalgenius
The first problem was that the Supreme Commander didn’t give them enough warning about what they were stumbling into, when they were ordered out into it. Someone above General Kenobi’s head sent the men planetside in standard-issue gear, without thermal clothing or heat packs or sleeping kit or enough food for more than a single day. They had no extra ammo, no tents, no heavy artillery. They had barely any warning.
The second problem was that Supreme Command underestimated the strength of the enemy; it was supposed to be an easy enough job, holding the planet long enough to route the Seppies and then right back to the ship, leaving a contingent of troopers stationed there to retain what they’d won.
The third problem - the real problem - came when they let themselves become surrounded and the Separatists cut their supply line. Cody’s partially at fault for that one; a better Commander would’ve seen it coming. A better Commander would’ve had more backup plans, been prepared for more contingencies.
Being cut off from re-supply would’ve been a problem before the snow started.
Then the snow started.
I've never made it with moderation by Trixree (+ podfic)
He’d known how some of the men are with younglings—known from Waxer and Boil how sharply those attachments can form with little ones. Hell, the men were raised to be protective, so much so that Obi-Wan has often wondered if their protective drive was not written into their very atoms, some intrinsic part of their DNA.
It wasn’t something Obi-Wan had ever questioned. He’d thought he had understood the scope of it. In reality, he hadn’t understood a thing.
Not until Kamino.
Or: Not all that dive from cliffs make a running head start. Sometimes, the Fall is only a natural progression.
Standards of Professionality by Trixree
"Are we going to pretend I didn’t just find you fucking your General, vod?” Rex hisses over private-comm.
Cody doesn’t even turn his head to look at him. Rex can hear the smile in Cody’s voice when he replies, “No, because I am not fucking my General, Rex’ika. I am fucking Obi-Wan. We are professionals.”
5 times Cody and Obi-Wan struggled to maintain plausible deniability regarding their affections for one another + 1 time they decidedly Did Not.
The Hunger Games
Lover & Loner by amateurwordbender
Haymitch once told him that he’s a survivor. It hadn’t been a compliment; he’d slurred out the words in pity after finding Finnick shaking apart from a panic attack.
Jo’s a survivor, too.
(Finnick and Johanna, from the moment they meet to the bitter end)
Original Works
for the want of a jewel by FormlessVoidbeast
With his country fallen to the unstoppable tide of the Dread Warlord, a terrified king sends a peace offering of his own flesh and blood in the hopes of buying leniency.
When Prince Damian of Miska is accepted as the symbol of his country's surrender and immediately wedded to the Warlord, he expects his fate to be both painful and humiliating, and his death inevitable. To his confusion, the Warlord and his terrible Warlock seem to have no interest in abusing that which they have claimed as their own. As Damian finds his feet and gains friends in a new land, he begins to question everything he once thought was true.
But some jewels were never meant to be sold, and the consequences of Damian's sacrifice are more far-reaching than anyone expected.

a gift of a jewel for @formlessvoidbeast
I truly recommend their amazing story on AO3, for the want of a jewel. It has everything! Warlord Barbarian, Sorcery, Beauty as a Weapon (but not the way you think!), Sex and Ace Positivity, and just a wonderful world full of rich and interesting characters.
I haven't read OG works in a very long time and I'm so glad to have ftwoaj as the one that broke my streak!
Cannot rec it enough especially for anyone who enjoys @inexplicifics Warlord AU!

BOOK REC TIME
I pre-ordered this book way back in March and well, it finally arrived and I read it over shabbos, and it was SUCH an enjoyable read!
seriously I do very much recommend this book. it reminded me somewhat of when the angels left the old country in terms of how much yiddish and jewish intra-community terminology was peppered into the plot, and funnily enough sacha lamb the author did in fact give it a blurb
this book has everything: jewish vampire women who shapeshift into owls and yiddish theater and syrian jewish history and an israeli lesbian possessed by a dybbuk! what more could you want honestly
jumblr please give this a read 🦉🌙🌃🦉

get the book here
#book recs#i could tell it was a debut and i think the copyediting needed some work#but overall SUPER enjoyable and a very fun original time#more jewish supernatural gay fantasy books please#this is what the world needs (its me i am the world)#books#jewish characters#jewish representation#jewish history#writing

MOTA 1st Birthday Bingo (Flying Fortress-Completed)
Hi everybody, here is my completed bingo for the Flying Fortress. You can still sign up for your own bingo or to understand the rules here. This was so much fun and so happy I got to see how talented this fandom really is. 💕 Thank you so much @mota-collab for creating this super fun event!!
(Shoutout to @onyxsboxes for my card and @avonne-writes for helping deliver it!!)
Disgust: one way, or another by @blixabargelds
Literally exactly as one of the tag says, a planned kidnapping gone wrong, and there are certain parts where even though not explicitly said you can feel the disgust coming off one of the main characters in a big scene, not only with he’s been asked to do but also just with the whole situation
Post-war: nothin’ but blue skies from now on by @majorbuckyegan
I love this fic so much and just the love that Gale and John have for each other and starting from zero until they find their footing again. Also just protective Gale, my beloved.
Send an ask to a creator you love highlighting your favorite work of theirs: @rambleonwaywardson
You can find the ask here but you should definitely check out all their work. I’ve fallen in love with their Clegan Astronaut AU and there have been little snippets from that universe and I just can’t wait to see what else is in atore for them!!
Genuine apology: What else should I be? (All apologies) by @heretoobsessstuff
Such a good fic, literally made me want to jump inside my device and give him the biggest hug and Gale my love, you have no need to apologize
Anxiety: sweetest of the sunflowers by @avonne-writes
So so so so AMAZING! One of the first weeks I had read when I was getting into the fandom and man do I keep coming back to it. Wanna give both of the boys the biggest hug.
Sharing a blanket: I Don’t Wanna Be Alone Tonight by @johnslittlespoon
Starts out simple enough, just sharing a blanket and bunk to conserve heat but then turns spicy. Honestly an amazing one-shot!
Breakfast in bed: “My Sun”, “My Home” by @optimisticflicker
Alright so an original work for this promotion, actually my first work that I’ve done after so many years of writer's block, specifically for this event. Was having trouble finding a bed in breakfast work so I just thought why not make one? Pure fluff. Literally the Buckies just being obsessed with each other.
Pre-WW2: It’s different with you and me by @joeyalohadream
So adorable, and of course Gale getting involuntarily getting into trouble while Bucky wasn’t around and knowing it would be the same viceversa is very on brand for them.
Coffee shop au: Baking Spirits Bright by Happy_Days19 on AO3
Such a cute coffee shop meet cute au, and Bucky pining over Gale while he’s stressed and just tries to make his day at least a bit better with his little messages is just so cute.
#mota#john egan#gale cleven#clegan#buck x bucky#mota 1st birthday#mota 1st birthday bingo#so many talented people in this fandom#fic recs#original work

四樓的天堂 | Heaven on the 4th Floor (2021)
One drama has crept into my life during the last days of 2024 to become my favourite one I've watched this year, and I barely know how to start talking about it. But let's give this a go anyways.


Heaven on the 4th Floor (四樓的天堂) is a Taiwanese drama starring Anthony Wong, Hsieh Ying-xuan, and Fandy Fan. I would call it mostly slice-of-life with some melodrama, as there's no strongly focused overarching plot. Rather, it follows a cast of characters and the struggles/hurdles in their lives they have to face, all of whom are helped/guided by the something all of them have in common— seeing a tuina masseuse named Tianyi (Anthony Wong).
I don't quite know how to describe the way this show develops, as everyone's arcs separate and overlap at different times, but I would say Heaven at its core is about healing. First and foremost about healing the relationship one has with their body and oneself, but also those with other people, with the past, and with the present-day world around someone. There's some interesting juxtaposition between the physical healing Tianyi can offer his clients, and the mental healing Hsieh Ying-xuan's psychologist character provides for her own, with a look at how one cannot do the work of the other. Some characters are recurring throughout the show, others you get to watch take a step forward in the span of one episode, but eventually, no one remains where they were at the beginning.
The character who has the most growth throughout all this, in my opinion, is Fandy Fan's Yuzhou, a young graffiti artist. It's by meeting Tianyi that he gradually manages to stop hiding from the past, but also start looking with hope toward a future, and find a way to be better in tune with himself, his body, and the art he creates.
Aside from healing, Heaven is also about loss, and how someone reckons with it. Past loss (the disappearance of one's loved ones, the yearning for something you never got to have), present/recent loss (the death of a family member, the ending of a relationship), and loss that inevitably lies ahead (the destruction of one's home and the fight to resist it, even if it's all in vain). Characters war with their grief and are forced to find ways to release and gradually accept it, and while my heart ached for different people at different points in time, it was beautiful to watch.
I cannot stress enough that with all this combined, Heaven is one of the most cathartic pieces of media I've ever seen. I cried an unexpected number of times, from the beginning of the show to the end, and it was never, ever in a bad way. The three leads especially did a truly incredible job bringing the viewer into their lives, taking them along for the emotional ride, and I wish all the actors had won awards for that (only one of them did, but she truly deserved it).
Production-wise, I also adore the quality of this show. It's somehow very soothing to watch, visually, and the accompanying soundtrack made me tear up several times. I had to shake myself out of a daze every time I took a break from watching; it both felt like I'd run a marathon, but also had been sitting still, head quiet, and had had someone tell me not to worry about anything else in the world for a while. (It also made me feel more physically present in my body. My shoulders haven't been un-tense in years, and I think thanks to Heaven I'm going to have to do something about that.)
In addition, this isn't the main focus of the show, but queerness is worked into it in wonderfully ordinary ways. There's more than one queer character and a trans character who show up in this, and one protagonist who is either heavily coded as or possibly explicitly aroace spectrum, depending on how much you read into it. Her arc ended up being one of my favourites; the show deals with her relationships lining up with aroace experiences in a way I haven't really seen onscreen before.
Overall, I'm absolutely going to rewatch Heaven in the future, when I feel that I need to return to that story. If you want a grounded, very character-driven show to get gently lost in for a while, this is it.
(Though admittedly, I know this drama definitely isn't going to be for everyone. It's a little bit sleepy-going, and not everyone is interested in or is braced to deal with the emotions of the story. Normally even I'm not, but here I am. However, if you're interested, here's the trailer for Heaven on the 4th Floor:
youtube
And I don't tend to do this, but I'm also going to toss out two tracks that sound how this show feels, to me: In My Breath Again from the soundtrack of After Yang, and 披星戴月的想你 by Accusefive. Sit with those for a while and see what you think, if it helps you decide whether to watch or not.)
Note: Unless you have Taiwanese Netflix, you're gonna have to jump on the pirate ship to find this show. However, as far as I'm aware there have never been English subtitles made for it on any site, so if you can't read the Traditional Chinese in the episode raws, then you may have to sit this one out for the time being.)
#behold: the latest place my fandy fan kick has taken me#this drama is an absolute fucking gem. i tried to be eloquent here but uhhhhh let's see how well it worked#四樓的天堂#heaven on the 4th floor#ashton originals#anthony wong#hsieh ying-xuan#fandy fan#ashton's recs

In lieu of Stuff Your Kindle day, can we talk about the issue of how the m/m genre of books, romance or not, is almost entirely dominated by women? Can we talk about how the most recognisable gay couples in media are written by women? Can we talk about how queer men can't even write about ourselves, how we are only allowed to exist when it's from the point of view of a straight woman sexualising us?
Can we talk about that? Or am I going to get called misogynistic for pointing out the disparity between who gets the writing deals, & who gets their books turned into movies, & whose shit gets popular versus whose doesn't? Can we talk about how m/m fiction is only allowed when it appeals to a cishet gaze, or is that too much for tumblr to take?
Can we also talk about how trans queer men are even more hated by publishing? Can we talk about how we get shit from both sides? Can we talk about how books about the experiences of being a queer man, written by queer men, never get the same recognition as books written by women on this subject (barring academia which has its own problems)?
Can we talk about that? Can we?
#booker speaks#no bloody clue how to tag this#this is for the tags only but#people would get up in arms if the f/f book scene was dominated by cismen only#why are we not extending this same energy to ciswomen writers of m/m?#why did we forget about the original meaning of own voices?#why are queer men pushed out of publishing in the way that we are?#& im not just talking about romance here#like there are fantasy & scifi & contemporary novels about men loving men that are written by ciswomen who have a very narrow view of what#m/m relationships are like. & this extends towards stuff like manga too but im not gonna get into that cause i dont read mangs/comics#can we talk about how hard it is to find queer masc authors nowadays?#saying this both as a reader & as a writer#can we also talk about how lists of queer & especially trans novels almost always forget to include anything by transmascs & gay transmascs#or if they do include us its 1 transmasc book to 1 enby book to 8 transfem books or books about the 'trans experience' in nebulous terms#can we stop reccing detransition baby & start reccing the spirit bares its teeth?#can we look at works written by queer masc people that arent just red white royal blue & stone butch blues?#go read cemetary boys#read alexis hall & max turner#read bloom if you like comics. or nimona#read my shit too!#im gonna be focusing on my writing blog way more this year#& im working on some projects that may or may not end up being published in physical form#read more queer masc stories by queer masc authors!

The figure smiled, teeth bared in an expression that was too wide and too sharp.

"Sup, fuckers?" Edward Elric smirked. "God kicked me out and hell was afraid I'd take over. Now… who dared to hurt my brother?"

Featured Fic Friday!
Welcome to Featured Fic Friday! A day where I, or someone who suggests one, tell you about a fanfic that I really enjoy! Spoiler's under the cut! Today's featured fic is...
The Pathlighter by TGK Translations (Not Rated, Complete)
A translation of Его история (История 1 - Фонарщик) by Elena Troitskaya (Sariko). A note from the translator: "His Story" is actually a series of stories in nature. However, originally, all of its stories were posted as one single fic, but due to AO3's capabilities, the translated stories are separated into actual fics under the same series. The preface by the author (which was originally a separate chapter) is now available on the main page of the "His Story" series. Thank you for your attention and enjoy!
A bit of a darker fic in the beginning, this work is not for everybody! Make sure to check the tags before reading!
With that being said, I really enjoyed reading it! I can't say that the tone gets much lighter as you read through it, but that isn't to say that there aren't softer parts!
Spoilers ahead!
I love how the author goes about having Star from a different multiverse, especially since it's so different from what we normally see with this concept! Typically we read about different multiverses having minor differences or alternate personalities, but I've yet to see one that goes about describing so many interesting aspects, if that makes sense!
I love the bit with the original Error of the multiverse giving access to Star & immediately distancing himself by removing his own access. He does not want to be involved anymore! He wants to rest & won't be bothered further!
#this might not be accurate to the original work since this is based on a translation#but it should still hold up pretty well#originally i was going to choose a fic more focused on love since this will be posted on valentine's day#but the lovely 0p1er0 suggested this in the discord & how could i not choose it#fic rec#fic recommendation#ao3 fic recs#utmv#ink sans#error sans#not suitable for minors#featured fic#mod sleepy

✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩
All the fics I’ve read and really enjoyed in the past week-ish. Reminder: This list features any and all ratings and themes. Please look at tags and warnings on ao3 before reading.
DC
fill in the blanks by mindshelter
"You?” Tim blurts. Holy shit. “You’re Kon?”
A nod. “Are you in any pain?” he asks again.
Kon’s skin is sun-kissed, cheekbones dusted with a fine smattering of freckles; he is, without exaggeration, the prettiest person Tim has ever seen. “No, I’m—great,” he says, fidgeting. “Do you, uh, come here often?”
Kon raises a brow. “To the medbay?” he intones. “Definitely more often than I’d prefer."
Fault Line by sElkieNight60 (+ podfic)
Part 1 of Tectonics
"You’re invulnerable…” he whispers, but it’s clear that fact falters in his mind.
Confusion writes its way into the lines on Conner’s face and Clark takes a step back as though physically pushed.
“You’re not invulnerable.”
It is a statement, dull like stone.
“N-no, sir.”
— 🦸 —
OR: Conner's not as invincible as Clark thought. Suddenly, he's a lot more human.
Danny Phantom x DC
The Business of Family by Spaced_Ace
Jazz remembered the way their parents loomed in the living room as they’d laid out that verdict. Ever-present weapons gleaming, standing in such a way that they blocked access to both the front and back entrances. Their eyes had been what struck her the most of that horrible tableau. What made her stomach fill with jagged stones and drenched her back in a frigid sweat. The way they looked at her little brother, their gazes cold and hollow and -
Hungry.
(Things are not well in Amity Park.
With the GIW getting more and more aggressive and their parents becoming ever more suspicious of Danny each day that passes, Jazz knows that they're running out of time. It's not safe, and their options are painfully limited. Out of sheer dumb luck or a little intervention from Clockwork, she manages to discover a distant relative that just might be their salvation.
If asked Oswald Cobblepot would say that it's just good business. Adopting a few kids had done wonders for Bruce Wayne's reputation, why not his? It's not like he can't afford to put them somewhere out of the way if they get to be a problem. It's just business. Nothing more.
(His soft heart says otherwise))
The Witcher
Words of Love by ForestWren
"I should warn you,” Jaskier said between kisses in the soft darkness of the shed, “That I know some… very interesting people. You may want to avoid meeting them.”
“I’ve dealt with the Redenian court for decades. Your friends can’t be worse than that.”
Five times Radovid meets Jaskier's friends and family, plus one time they are alone.
Star Wars x The Mandalorian
Master Skywalker: The Absolute Worst by PrinceJakeFireCake
"Din got to his feet. He patted Boba on the shoulder affectionately.
“You should watch the recording of Skywalker fighting the death troopers,” he said, then pressed a kiss to Boba’s cheek and told Grogu to stop eating his blocks.
Boba watched the recording. He was pretty sure he would never be the same again. He was positive that he never wanted to meet Skywalker ever again.”
Boba Fett falls for Luke Skywalker. It isn’t the funnest thing he’s ever done.
Original Works
Call Me Menace by wingedcat13
You, Synovus, are a respectably terrifying supervillain. Your main rivals, a pair of superheroes named Legionnaire and Athena, are actually respectable as heroes. You hate having to stoop to kidnapping their child - but you hate more what the kid's behavior implies.
if it don't hurt now (just wait a while) by quandaries_and_contradictions
Part 27 of mage in a wolf pack
When the hunters first take him, Jaime knows everything will be okay.
He’s scared, of course. He wants his mom and dad and little sister. But he knows it’s going to be okay — because the wolves who protect his town will come for him. Lada’s mother and father and papa won’t let the hunters get away with this. All he has to do is hold on until they get here.
Months later, he's not so sure.
Stranger Things
No One Rides For Free by weird_witchcraft
"Are you okay Harrington?” Eddie asks gently, “Need me to get anyone?”
“No one to get,” replies Steve, so soft Eddie barely catches it. “You think I want anyone seeing me like this?”
Eddie Munson stumbles across Steve Harrington crying next to a bush at Tina's party and makes it his mission to cheer him up.
Clone Wars
mirci't be uja by ihathbenobiwankenobied for whitchry9
Obi-Wan is usually good at keeping track of his blood sugar levels–because he has to be–but this time, it’s out of his control.
(Or, a diabetic Obi-Wan is thrown for a loop after crashing on an unknown planet. Stim does his best to keep his General alive)

AO3 Wrapped 13, 14, 25, and 46! :)
Ohoo okay!! Thanks for your ask!
13: Your personal favorite fic you read this year?
This is actually a really hard one, mainly because I've gotten into so many new fandoms this year. I'm gonna say you know you're better than this by a_grim_thin_hope! This is for Mouthwashing. Daisuke is my favorite, and he shined really well, even if this wasn't about him, LMAO.
14: Your personal favorite fic you posted this year?
Oh.... I'll say I Would Run Away From You if I Could! I think if I was a reader, I'd enjoy this fic. It's mainly a Haikaveh focused streaming AU.
25: Least popular fic by hits you posted this year?
It's an Original Work- which is what I expected- A Crow and a Bleeding-Heart (which are both!! types of birds!!). It's basically a doomed yuri royalty thing with wings and birds and stuff.
46: A playlist of all the songs you used lyrics from to title fics this year?
You want to destroy me. I made this just for this ask. Your welcome... while making this, I kind of realized I make them up on my own more than I thought I did. THIS IS NOT A REFLECTION OF MY MUSIC TASTE BTW I SWEAR...... SWEATS NERVOUSLY

AO3 Underrated Original Fic Recs
Here are five original fics on ao3 that need way more love
Please comment (& kudos) on fics you like!
1.
Spring
Spring is about a trio of American boys, at a vague time in the past. One of them is sent to a conversion camp, the other two break him out.
TWs for: child abuse, homophobia, guns but no gun violence
Why I liked this one: Definitely the style. Thematically each section opens with a definition of the word spring, which is genius, but it also has this gorgeous innocent-but-not-oblivious POV that is just so nice to read. It portrays love and friendship and community and despite the darker plot it's just so Sweet. Absolutely recommend if you want something to make you smile.
2.
Memories
This is a less than 700 words short story about a really interesting fantasy concept: What if you had to give up a memory, that then becomes a newborn's first and forever clearest memory.
TWs for: nothing as far as I can tell
Why I liked this one: The concept is just really cool, and the way the story underlines just how important a memory is 1) when you can't remember it and 2) when it's not yours is just really nicely done. It's short, it's to the point, if you're into concepts like this you'll think about what else you can do with it for days. What's not to love?
3.
Saturn
I actually found this through a drabble from the author about the characters from this, but the drabble makes very little sense by itself, so here is the "main" story the characters are from.
Saturn is apparently an AU of a comic (if someone figures out where to find said comic I will owe you my life) in which Nicolas, the snarky, lovable protagonist and Orion, a death cultist weirdo, escape the aforementioned death cult.
TWs for: SELF-HARM (a LOT of it), abuse & child abuse, self-mutilation, PTSD, human sacrifice, the kind of mindset that comes with being raised in a fucked up death cult
Why I liked this one: This person is a god among character writers I swear. 18k words of an unfinished fic and I'm as attached to the two protagonists as if I'd read three whole books about them. If you like angst, hurt/comfort, or are a Harrowhark stan, this is for you.
4.
The Faintness of Petrichor
B used to be a god, but now he has no followers and no powers, and lives alone and miserable in an apartment, until an invitation for a ceremony comes along.
TWs for: cultural appropriation, religious trauma inspired writing
Why I liked this one: I love fictional religion, and the worldbuilding in this one is absolutely immaculate. Also, B is an amazing character whose emotions are so SO well shown. I recommend if you love gods being human-but-not-human.
5.
dung upon the earth
This is a character study of the author's OC Jay. We follow him as he grows and takes five sacraments over time.
TWs for: catholicism, catholic guilt, slurs, ableism
Why I liked this one: Look you can get me so so easily with the well-done catholicism. Whether this person did a whole lot of research or has lived experience, they made sure everything is super accurate and I just LOVE that. This is an angsty, guilt-filled, sad story and it's really so good at being one. If you like characters experiencing the trauma of just not quite fitting in, and other quiet and real things that shape one's childhood, you will love this.

WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY…
So as you all know, I did not post yesterday!! DANG IT… Why you ask? Well… Its simply because I was trying to solve this equation that involved Jade Leech + Trey Clover divided by the hypotenuse of the circumference of a square, and multiplied by the osmosis mitosis of the suns pneumonocultramicroscopicsilicavolcanoconiosis… After careful and meticulous solving… I reached the answer: Riddle did not cross the road. I feel as if I had done a service to humanity, and as such, deserve an award.
Now, in reality, what happened was-
BURNOUT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I hate to admit it… but yeah. As you can tell from my other posts, you can see that I do mention something like burnout in each one of them. And because I want to write more, I took a one day break so I could gather my thoughts, and stay consistent for longer!
If I’m being honest, I actually do this every week on fridays. Mainly because I just dont want school and stuff to get in front of my writing and stability and such. BUT YEAH! Thats it! If I’m gone for one day, be it friday, Monday, hell, even tuesday (who goes on breaks on tuesdays? Actually I dont need anyone to answer that question, tuesdays suck), just know I’ll be back sooner or later.
NOW THATS OUT OF THE WAY…
I NEEDA WRITE 2K + MORE WORDS TODAY!!! SO PROBABLY UPWARDS OF 4-5k!! So yeah… IMA NEED SOME ENCOURAGEMENT!!!
Okay… Well now I’m pretty clueless on whatelse to talk abt… So I’ma go! But ill be posting throughout the day to let you guys know of my progress so yeah!
Here are two music recs because I missed it kinda yesterday!
here is some food: 🥟🥟🍖🥓🥓🍖🍤🍣🍖🍖🥓🍣🍤🍣🍱
