Segla by Marco Battini Taken shortly after Sunrise on an early morning Hike to the top of Hesten, on the Norwegian island of Senja. This was my very first hike on the Island of Senja, and I was so impressed with the views from the cliffs I hiked it twice on the same day. At sunrise first, and again at Sunset- after a quick nap and a very good portion of fried cod at the local pub. I have a full hike report with GPS track up on my blog, with way more photos from this location and the surrounding mountains.

The Witch Door fanfic: new chapter up on AO3!

Thanks to the most fantastic mootie in the whole wide world 🥰 (not putting you on a pedestal, I’m just high on endorphines right now, don’t worry) I am extremely returned to my opus magnum and getting obsessed again. @tryan-a-bex left a comment on each of the five chapters I had posted on AO3, and while I still wish I had a beta reader, I am happy enough with part 1 to just put it online as it is. So that will be happening over the course of the next week or two, since there’s only four chapters left and they’re written.

Side note: two things have been keeping me from writing (apart from the usual life stuff), one being my new keyboard layout – I’m still not quite as fast with it than with regular Qwertz, but I have been practising and switched both my computers to use Neo as the default by now. So that’s getting negligible.

And the other thing is… my brain came up with a Dead Boy Detectives oneshot 😆😆😆 which is nice of course, but since it’s much shorter at about 7k I feel like I want to/need to finish this first. And I will! Not least so I can finally read other people’s DBD fics again, that feels like a no go for me right now.

But now without further ado, here’s the beginning of chapter 6:

It’s Wednesday evening, and Jousia is bored out of his mind. There’s no new book that excites him, and this whole week nobody has come over for a chat, not even Tzofiya. And Katariina wasn’t feeling well earlier and wanted to stay in bed reading instead of coming over for coffee.

He walks around aimlessly, growing more irritable by the minute. As he steps out onto his balcony, the chilly evening air cools his temper again. I’ll see if Jesse is home. Even if I don’t make for very good company right now, and we already went out for lunch last week.

He goes back in and draws the sigil on the door. It takes several knocks before the thin wooden door is opened and Jesse’s surprised face is looking at him.

“Jousia! Uh, what’s up?” He isn’t smiling quite as brightly as he usually does when they meet.

“Hey. Sorry for just turning up like that. Are you busy at the moment, or do you have some time?”

Jesse hesitates for a moment. “That depends,” he finally says with a wry smile. “To be honest, I don’t feel like I’m very good company right now.”

“Oh.” Jousia can’t remember a single time when Jesse wasn’t a literal ray of sunshine in his presence. “I’m not sure I’m any better today actually, but maybe it would be nicer to not be alone?”

Another moment’s hesitation, then Jesse makes room for him. “Come on over, then.”

They shut their doors, standing a little awkwardly in Jesse’s living room. “Um, please excuse the mess. I would have tidied if I knew you were coming…”

‘Mess’ is a strong word, but now that Jesse mentioned it, Jousia notices a few more loose things lying around than when he was here before. “I don’t mind,” he says, which is followed by a few more moments of awkward silence.

“Do you want anything, actually? Coffee, perhaps?” Jesse is clearly trying to be a good host, but still without his usual zest.

Jousia puts his head to one side, looking at his friend. “Hm. Have you had supper yet?”

“Um no, I haven’t. Didn’t feel like eating.”

“I could make us an omelette or something, if you’ve got some ingredients. How about that?”

“Oh no, Jousia, you don’t have to–” Jesse sounds almost panicky, but Jousia has made up his mind.

Read the whole chapter on AO3:

Meet Archer Seglas, an author that lives by the beach side.

I thought having a troll based on an archer fish would be cool so they're also a retired Fleet marksman.

Mount Segla, Senja Island, Norway

An assorted land of mountainous terrain on the west with lush greenery on the east, Senja is a beautiful island popularly known as 'Norway in miniature'. At more than 1500 square kilometres, it is Norway's second-largest island. Gisund Bridge connects the island to the mainland in the town of Finnsnes. The most notable spot on Senja is pictured today, Mount Segla, a magnificent peak that is travelled frequently during summers with a trail starting in Fjordgård, a fishing village in the north of Senja. It takes a tough hike up the steep mountain to get to the over 610-metre-tall crest. Other tourist attractions on the island include Ånderdalen National Park and Tranøya, an island located on the south coast of Senja, celebrated for its tranquillity.

Recently got alcohol markers so I’ve been having fun trying them out :) !! Obligatory Dethhunter Toki and Skwisgaar of course.

The lyrics on the second image are from “Vem Kan Segla Förutan Vind”. It’s an ol’ Swedish folk song with very interesting history behind it. The version I listen to the most is the one by Cumulus.

Toki often sings a lot of songs he’s heard while he and Skwisgaar have travelled together :) Very soothing!

Aziraphale: Now, make yourself at home. Perhaps a glass of Bordeaux? I have the '82 Chateau Latour and a rather indifferent Rauzan-Segla. Crowley: I've been in hell, angel. I'll be happy just as long as it doesn't taste like orange drink fermented under a radiator. Aziraphale: That would be the Latour, then.

(anyone done this yet?)

wip snippet from part 1 chapter 1

Here we go with another little snippet. (Picture me carefully sprinkling these around like enticing cake crumbs in hopes of luring an unsuspecting passerby into my tiny fandom.)

Just then, the stage curtains part to reveal a tall and very familiar figure. Jesse chuckles a little. “Hello Jousia. Fancy meeting you here again.”

Jousia makes a slight huh face, much in the same way he did the last time this happened. “Well, hello Jesse. Been a while.”

Jesse smiles at him and gestures to the sofa. “It’s always nice to see you. Please make yourself comfortable.”

Jousia goes over to the sofa and sits down, but something in his movements seems just a little hesitant. He doesn’t seem eager to say anything either. Is there something bothering him?

Jesse decides to try the direct approach, which is usually Jousia’s part. “You know… I remember you telling me that sometimes people invite you over in their dreams subconsciously when they want to talk to you. But I can honestly say this time that I wasn’t thinking about you for once. So… do you have something on your mind?”

He looks at his friend, trying to get a feeling for what might be up with him. Jousia takes another small moment before he replies, “…apparently I do.”

To be entirely honest, after writing 90k I feel a little conflicted about the first couple of chapters. I've seriously considered rewriting them… but I won't. I am making a conscious decision not to give in to perfectionism.
