FFXIVWrite2021 Master List

Welp, I got another year fully done, all 31 entries.

Yes, I’m proud that I did, despite feeling like from the first week I was running a loosing battle in time and... talent.  I’m glad I got these out, glad I got things written, and new things figured out.  I do really like several of these, so I’m not all down on myself about it.  I was basically out of spoons as I finished the month, and probably should have just let it be, but I was being stubborn.  I do hope that those that read, enjoyed.  Thank you again to @sea-wolf-coast-to-coast for hosting such an amazing list once more!!  I do look forward to this!!

Stats and some more commentary under the cut!

I actually somehow wrote almost 600 more words this year than last, though I swore I only wrote half as much.  I think my favorites were Heady, Oneirophrenia, Avatar, Illustrious, and Silver Lining all for different reasons.  I had quite the little sappy set up there in the beginning of the second week, and kinda went a bit more angsty for the rest.  I did... notice this and attempted some happier stuff near the end.  I wrote most of this at work, or super late at night, and probably pushed myself a bit more than I should have.

The shortest was the last one, the poetry of course at only 57 Words.

Longest was Heady at 1630

I really liked talking about Karo’s dads, and I do have... reunion setting and ideas in my head, but I kinda need Endwalker to come out so I have the proper lore setting without messing anything up (or time) because I do like to stick mainly to the big plot points/timeframes even if I take some liberties.

I also wanna give a little mini-shout out to the Writer’s Lounge of @onyrica​’s Discord, and three of the best cheerleaders I could have asked for: @autumnslance​ , @elveny​, and @sami-at-ciela​ .  I think some of the comments you left me there are honestly what kept me going this month, and I truly appreciate it with all my heart.   THANK YOU.

Meet The Neighbours...

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (6th-10th May 2019)

There were more difficult scenes this week as Stuart, Jonny and Ste stepped up their campaign of terror against the Maalik’s. At the start of the week, Leela was still getting up to speed on what had been going on in her absence and, believing that Amir was responsible for the trouble, confronted the delivery driver. However, with a little help from Sami and Yasmine, Leela came to see that Amir and his brother, Shahid, had been victimised by Stuart and Jonny and so she demanded that Jonny move out. Unfortunately for Leela, she hadn’t been prepared for Ste announcing that he was going too and despite her insistence that Leah and Lucas stayed put, Ste decided to uproot them yet again. 

The following morning, news broke that Shahid and Amir’s takeaway had been broken into and the Maalik’s were also left devastated when a packet of bacon was posted through their letterbox. The whole family went to the teahouse to confront Stuart, Jonny and Ste, who feigned ignorance and mocked the family for their beliefs. Imran attempted to stand up for himself, but Misbah could see that he was becoming tense and dragged him away before the situation turned violent. Once they had left, Stuart announced that Imran needed to be taught a lesson, words which were overheard by his young son, Sid. Back at the Maalik’s, Misbah recounted her own experiences of racist bullying in her youth, and told Imran how proud she was of him for standing up for her. However, things were about to get a whole lot worse for the family when Sid told Sally that Imran had threatened to blow up the school...

Of course, Sally took this incredibly seriously and she called in ‘Prevent’, an organisation working to prevent radicalisation. Two officers called round to speak to Misbah and Imran, who were both left devastated by the allegations. Luckily, the situation resolved itself fairly quickly and the officers were satisfied that nothing was amiss where Imran was concerned. However, they shared with Sally their concerns that Imran was a victim of racial bullying and she quickly called Misbah and Imran into school to reassure them that she would do everything in her power to keep Imran safe. Unfortunately, keeping Imran safe at home was soon about to become a whole lot more difficult when the pair returned from the meeting to find that Jonny and Ste had moved into Cindy’s old place next door...

Meanwhile, Max confided in Breda that he felt like Mercedes didn’t want him around. Despite Breda doing her best to put his mind at rest, the youngster’s fears were seemingly confirmed when he overheard her arguing with Breda, telling her that it was only natural that she should love Bobby more. The following morning, Mercedes was shocked when Russ’ younger sister, Nicole, arrived at The Dog, announcing that Max had contacted her. Mercedes was devastated when Max revealed that he wanted to go to Greece to live with Nicole. Luckily for Mercedes, Nicole wasn’t entirely sold on the idea, telling Mercy that she felt the upheaval of Max moving away from all he knows so soon after losing Russ could be detrimental. In a bid to persuade her nephew to stay put, Mercedes organised a special dinner for him and Bobby but, although Max was touched by the gesture, he refused to reconsider leaving the village.

Elsewhere, Maxine was furious when she found Damon working on The Loveboat, reminding him of his promise to take time off. However, Maxine soon found the spotlight back on her when she instinctively grabbed a falling banner with her ‘bad’ arm.  Later, Maxine overheard Jack complaining about his new heart tablets and retrieved them from the bin when he threw them away. After taking a few of the tablets, Maxine collapsed and was rushed to hospital, where the doctors decided to run some tests. Of course, this was very bad news for Maxine, and when her pleas to forgo a blood test fell of deaf ears, she swapped her sample for someone else’s when Mitchell’s back was turned. Later that day, the results were in, and Mitchell was left baffled by the fact that they seemed to show that Maxine had an infection. Despite her having no other symptoms, he placed her on a course of antibiotics. Having done a runner from the hospital earlier in the day, Damon was back and, with a little help from Mitchell, proposed to Maxine. Of course, she said yes!

In other news this week, James bought Harry a car. Unfortunately, Romeo assumed it was for him and James didn’t have the heart to correct him! Nancy confronted Kyle over his lies and he admitted that he used to steal to fund various business schemes whilst Cleo (and Walter!) were delighted when she was offered a job at the hospital. Finally, Ollie and Brooke made plans to sleep together, and the whole family got involved in the preparation! 

5 Things We Learned This Week:

1. What’s a Doctor’s job these days? To diagnose illnesses? To organise and run medical tests? To deliver bad news to sick patients? To use an x-ray machine in a proposal? What? That’s not part of the job description! You’d have thought given the high accident rate in the village, Mitchell would have better things to do than faff about helping Damon propose to Maxine!

2. Condoms in Prince Slice are 2 for 1. Finally someone’s trying to do something about the appalling birth rate in this village! 

3. Mercedes needs some cookery lessons as it was revealed this week that spag bol is the only thing she can make. No wonder Max wants to go and live with Nicole. The poor kid probably hasn’t had a decent meal since he moved in with Mercy! 

4. Someone needs to order some new clothes for Brooke, Ollie and Imran. When was the last time these three were seen not wearing their school uniform? And why were Brooke and Ollie wearing it at home when they were on a study day? Anyone would think they didn’t have anything else to wear!

5. Kyle wants to start up a delivery service at The Hutch. How long before he’s delivering more than just pompous food?

“Going after your royalties was never about the money it was about getting your music the recognition it deserves”

[harrythompsondeservedbetter]

I don’t know why but Sami and Liberty kind of remind me a little of Rhys and Jacqui in the beginning they don’t necessarily make sense at first but when you see them together you just kind of get it.I want to thank whoever in the writers room put these two together because I think there’s something quite beautiful about Sami and Liberty.Sami lost a part of himself when his dad died he pushed his energy into his work became a materialistic and shallow man.Liberty called him out on it she got under his skin but more importantly she just wanted to see Sami because she thought there was something beautiful in his lyrics even if he didn't. Because of Liberty Sami took a look at himself he realised he wanted to find that part of himself again and he wanted to know Liberty.It’s just really big character development that Sami Maalik who flipped out about a cashmere sweater and was embarrassed by peoples thoughts on his band performed alongside Liberty whilst she’s dressed head to toe in a leopard print outfit enjoying himself.I’m emotional.I’m a huge sucker for a smart guy who falls for a maybe not so smart girl and loves her for who she is trope.

Deceit, Another Dodgy Copper and Peril on a Pig Farm...

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (31st December 2018 - 4th January 2019)

A hostage situation, a hospitalisation, lies and another dodgy copper. We may be in a new year, but some things stay the same! After Breda pushed a shelving unit down on top of him at the end of last week, you’d be forgiven for thinking that Louis was a goner. However, he survived the crush and Breda’s now looking after him at her family’s pig farm. It’s amazing just how many residents of Hollyoaks have somewhere secret that they can store someone they’ve harmed, isn’t it? Louis was understandably confused when he woke up but Breda was on hand to help fill in the gaps, telling him that he’d had an accident but that she was going to look after him. He may have done wrong, but God had spared him for a reason and if he could prove to her that he’d changed, he could have a second chance to be a good Dad....

Whilst Louis spent New Year passed out on a pig farm, back in the village, the new year was being celebrated in the more traditional manner. Maxine, Sienna and Liberty headed along to the party at The Dog, where Maxine got blind drunk and wandered off on her own. The following morning, she hadn’t come home but Sienna and Liberty initially weren’t too concerned, assuming that she’d got lucky. However, when their suspects, Zack, who Maxine had been flirting with, and Damon denied all knowledge, they began to worry and set off in search of their friend. It was Lily and Yazz who would eventually find her, passed out next to the garage. Maxine was rushed to hospital, where tests revealed that she had contracted pneumonia. However, far more worrying news was yet to come and the Doctor later informed Maxine’s loved ones that a high dosage of chemicals had been found in her system and questions were asked about just what she had been drinking at the party.  Having been working behind the bar, Damon initially found himself under suspicion but Damon was quick to point the finger of blame at Mercedes. It didn’t take long for the police to arrive at The Dog and they quickly found the dodgy vodka Mercedes had bought from Liam. Cleo gave the police Liam’s name and they arrived at The Loft to question him. However, DS Yates, the new police officer in town, was quick to walk away when Liam handed him a wad of cash. 

Meanwhile, Harry was back in the village and keen to hook up with James again. Although James initially rejected Harry, the pair soon made up and James agreed to let Harry move in with him and give their relationship a proper go. However, over at Cindy’s, Romeo was starting to tire of Mac’s devious ways and threatened to reveal that he’d tampered with Cindy’s medication. Wanting to keep his secret under wraps, Mac cruelly threw his Grandson out. After spending a night on the streets, Romeo headed to gathering at Yasmine’s but ended up getting drunk and attacking Sami. Romeo’s arrest was witnessed by Alfie, who begged James to help him. Although initially reluctant, James headed along to the police station, where he found Sami preparing to drop the charges against Romeo. Having had a chat with the troubled youngster, Sami came to see the last thing Romeo needed was prison, and encouraged James not to turn his back on his son. Romeo was released, however, he was still homeless, until James invited him to move in with him. This would prove to be had news for Harry, though, when James told him that he didn’t think it would be a good idea for him to move in just yet.

Elsewhere, Ste was in for a shock when Jonny claimed to be his half-brother. It’s all lies, of course, but as far as Ste’s concerned, he’s got a new Brother. Martine and Simone’s Father, Walter, arrived in the village whilst Darren tried to convince Ollie not to give up on his dreams of becoming a footballer. Finally, Sami was delighted to be told the charges against him had been dropped and there was more good news for the Maalik’s when Imran returned from brat camp. 

5 Things We Learned This Week:

1. You know you’ve lived in Hollyoaks for too long when discovering that you have a long lost Uncle raises about as much interest as being told that you’re out of loo roll. Leah couldn’t have given less of a shit when Ste told her about ‘Uncle Jonny’. Well when you live in Hollyoaks, a place where murder, kidnap and every disaster known to mankind is as routine as breakfast, long lost family members are boring by comparison. Plus, it’s not even the first time Leah’s aquired long lost family members, and she’s not even in her teens yet! 

2. The Dee Valley Police force really need to work on recruiting high quality candidates. You’d have hoped that after DS Cassidy, who faked evidence left, right and centre, they’d have learnt their lesson. After all, Roxy wasn’t the first dodgy cop in the force. However, new guy, DS Yates, is just as bad, accepting bribes from Liam so he’d turn a blind eye to him selling dodgy vodka. 

3. Forget teaching, Sienna’s true passion in life is to be a pop star. She was clearly itching to get on stage with Liberty at the New Year party but didn’t want to look stupid and was later shown dreaming of performing to adoring fans. When are the X Factor auditions next in town?

4. Liberty would make a terrible advert for the English education system. How many days are there in a year, Liberty? Hint: It’s not 394.

5. Hollyoaks really knows how to camp it up. Louis comes round to the sight of serial killer Breda, sitting in the rocking chair, knitting, telling him ‘Nana Breda’s here now’.

Characters Featured:

Alfie, Breda, Brody, Cleo, Damon, Darren, Donna-Marie, DS Yates, Farrah, Harry, Imran, James, Jonny, Leah, Leela, Liam, Liberty, Lily, Lisa, Louis, Mac, Martine, Maxine, Misbah, Minnie, Oliver, Romeo, Sami, Sienna, Simone, Ste, Tom, Tony, Walter, Yamsine and Zack. 

Past Characters Mentioned:

Jade Albright, Pauline Hay, Neeta Kaur, Ryan Knight, Tegan Lomax, Jacqui McQueen, Ellie Nightingale.
