Hey, this is really awkward, but I saw you mention on my post that you have another chapter of burning like embers and it's so so good! I've been meaning to write a comment on it for months but, you know, life. I am absolutely obsessedddddd with the concept you're exploring and this is me humbly begging for you to drop the new chapter. I can't stop thinking about it.
Okay. 💗🥺💗

(Our Flag Means Death), Canon-typical disregard of physics, and human biology, Blackbeard | Edward Teach Needs a Hug, and a nap Series: Part 25 of Our Flag Means Death Works Summary:
Edward Teach is tired.
Tired of being Blackbeard, tired of piracy, tired of fighting (and fucking) with his first mate, and so very tired of Stede fucking Bonnet chasing him around the Caribbean, trying to win his forgiveness.
But he can't see a way out... (except maybe death; he hasn't tried dying yet...)
#honestly the main reason I hadn't posted this chapter yet is because I didn't really think anyone even remembered this fic 🥺#and I didn't want to post a new chapter and then leave it on hiatus for another who knows how long#so I was gonna wait until I actually finished the whole thing#so thank you for asking for it#you made my day#and here it is! Go! fly free!#burning like embers falling tender#gentlebeard#ed x stede#sprizzy#izzy x lucius#blackhands#ed x izzy#so much edging in this chapter#like musical chairs but with cocks#our flag means death#our flag means fanfic#my writing

2024 reads / storygraph
The West Passage
medieval fantasy set in a giant crumbling palace of traditions with forgotten origin, ruled by giant eldritch Ladies
when winter weather comes in the middle of summer, and a beast below the palace begins to rise, two teens from Grey who have suddenly gained a lot of responsibilities set out on separate journeys to the other towers to find a way to stop it, and meet all sorts of strange people and creatures along the way
world where pronouns/names are based on people’s roles
tons of cool medieval-style chapter illustrations by the author
#the west passage#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#ooooh this is really interesting!!!#it’s like. you take those weird medieval illustrations and add some eldritch horrors and some alice-in-wonderland weirdness#and turn it into a strange fable-like adventure#it took me a little to get into it - I wasn’t sure about the writing style or characters initially- but it grew on me!#There’s very little detail about the world in the beginning but once I got a bit more into it and was like oh there’s just#weird and quirky little guys scattered all over this.#I was having trouble envisioning things and looked up the author half way through to find his art for it!#(I listened to the audiobook so was unaware there are also illustrations in the book) - that definitely refined my understanding of the vib#I didn’t actually have a look at all the chapter illustrations in the book til after and oh my god - obsessed#There’s so many of them and they’re perfect. I also enjoy the chapter titles.#And I think it’s one of those books that (for me) could teeter on the edge of like or dislike depending on surface level elements#and it went in the right direction 👍#there’s a tiny bit of romance (or: a relationship that has a romantic element) but not very much. and it is queer#also the worldbuilding kinda reminded me of keys to the kingdom (vaguely)#but like if the House was less populated and ur just following a random denizen who knows nothing travelling around. i should reread kttk#I know it means Ladies like Saints. but also every time my mind reads it as *sleasey man voice* ladiesss#oh also moment of appreciation for kuri huang cover art too

Honestly, he doesn't look like Akutagawa at all. He's round
#Harukawa's art style has changed so much ever since chapter 88 but whilst for other characters like. Atsushi it was gradually spread–#through all the chapters which made it virtually impossible to notice#We haven't seen Akutagawa in almost four years if not for a single panel (chapter 105).#Which makes seeing him again after all this time such a big whiplash.#I'm not saying the change is a bad thing and I'm not saying it's a good thing it's just. A Thing#The light in his eyes is frightening ashjbasbsoeiufbe like sure I love the character development but also who's that. Where's the void eyes#It's just too big of a whiplash ajhsfbkshfbkeibfleibu#Also when I say he's round now fr. Akutagawa didn't use to look so soft he was all angles and sharp edges#Idk. I don't care. He's cute. It'll just take time to get used to#He looks even younger now#ryūnosuke akutagawa#bsd#bungou stray dogs#bsd ch 117#mine

Every day I am haunted by the fact JJK could be amazing but it will be just idk Bleach or something
#I've seen a lot of people complaining about the fact that it's impossible to fit the ending of every unfinished arc#in the five chapters that remain for the manga to end for good#And it all just... legitimises my fear and apprehension haha#And it's a pity! It's a pity! The dynamics were so good! And yet nothing! Sukuna was so good! And yet nothing!#It was so nice how he seemed to play with the idea of transcending human categories and values but even the values of curses so to speak#Well beyond everything. Well beyond positive/creative nihilism even! He was not like Mahito#I wonder if Mahito is more a negative nihilism with a funny edge or a positive nihilism. For now it seems positive#with how he seems to have said something like 'nothing matters so we can do whatever we want and create what matters'#But Sukuna transcends all that! It could have been interesting to see how that developed in a way that wasn't just childish edginess#But no. And then there's all the idea of curses and sorcerers not being all that different#and so not really entirely possible to say one side is good and the other bad#There was the idea of the very source of powers with fear and love playing a role here in such a juicy way#And then there's the entire thing happening with Gojo as a concept and the very concepts he plays with which I could eat like an apple#but also I would let those very concepts eat at my heart as a worm inside an apple#Full of holes and rotting inside out and yet delighting at the sweetness#It could all be so good! And yet! Most of the manga is a few sketched dynamics and concepts and a very long fight with Sukuna#promising half finished arcs#WHY it could have been so good. And I don't think criticism is a matter of 'fans being spoiled! Go write your story!' or something#It's not a matter of things not going as fans would want them to be. It's a matter of not writing well#or cohesively things established by the author themselves. And I think that's a fair criticism#If we are to take manga as an art‚ which I wholeheartedly support‚#then we can subject mangas to artistic or literary or whatever you want to call it analysis. There are works that are better constructed#than others‚ and there are works that have good ideas but poor execution. And it's always a pity#In the case of JJK it's truly breaking my heart and the comments I see around about these five last chapters are not helping xD#God it could be so good. So good. And I'm not talking about in specific to me‚ which yes that too given the topics‚#but just so good in general. It could be so good. It could have been so good#And yet it's starting to look more and more like any other shonen. It truly breaks my heart haha#I talk too much#Jujutsu Kaisen#I used Bleach because I think that's one of the mangas that has been the most a let down to the friends I have who like shonen

Lately I've been thinking of an old favourite teacher, who for most of the Seventies lived in the woods I'd later grow up in. He wrote a long essay about the place, focusing on his friendship with the Indigenous caretaker who introduced him to the land and that caretaker's father, who stewarded the woods for decades mentoring/at the employ of the senator who gave this place US government legal protection. I found this decades-old essay after impulse-Googling my teacher's name early this year, around the time I had a serious, abrupt fracturing of my health/political+sexual selves and lost my mind a lil bit. One of those v straightforward ancestor offering you a Helping Hand moments! And thank fuck for the timing – I needed an anchor in the place where I grew up, and a mentor who I absolutely trusted had my back.
Back home atm so today I followed the brook along to the fork my teacher describes in a story where he first happens across the house in the woods he’d rent and stay in most of his thirties. The bridge that his teacher the caretaker built out of three carefully selected fallen red oaks one full moon evening has been replaced with shale and concrete. The house was still there, occupied, and the brook sounded just like he said. Nearly every class, he'd read aloud or tell us a story – about the woods, his SNCC days, Indigenous and African history, poetry, memorable shit that meant I could hear his deep voice exactly in ambling pace with the water. Ankle-deep with tiny fish investigating my bare feet, I thought about the man who taught my teacher from when he was a year or two older than me now. I hadn't been planning to speak to him, didn't want to have it taken as any kind of ask, but it felt weird not to say thanks so I did. I sank my feet into the mica-glint sand and tried to pay attention.
#diary#ancestors#practice#I'm going to write a response to his piece I think!#deep need to synthesise this chapter in my life and that feels like a way to do it while offering back to someone I loved very much#still feel a bit dull and sharp around the edges in myself but I think we're getting there yk#just wish EMDR wasn't so expensive + the world wasn't so on fire

I'm excited we're getting more magic kaito but I also have this suspicion things are going to be introduced that I'm just going to. ignore. But also maybe not! Who knows!
#I'm super excited for more Aoko#I'm actually kind of disappointed that her mom was introduced?#like this is in part because I like my headcanon that her mom passed away when she was little#but it's also because it feels like her mom is an au version of Eri#kind of like how despite different personality aoko appears to be a copy of Ran too#they used to look a lot different from each other#but now there's loads of points where I see a pic of aoko and without context I'd think it's Ran#including some of the ones I'm seeing from teasers about the new chapter#basically it feels like gosho is doing a lot of recycling of detective conan stuff to pad out magic kaito#but maybe i'm jumping the gun here#nefrit talk#anyway the double edged sword of me enjoying this series is that#it's how I dislike so many of gosho's choices that motivates me to do so much of my fanwork and speculation that i do#and therefore each update i'm braced because I'm excited for the content but also I know theres going to be things where i'm like#anyway let's just forget he even did that. (or twist it out of context to suit my preference for the story)#such is the joy of fanwork

anyway, uhhh time travel au steve finally getting to look at hopper and daring to keep looking when the man meets his eyes; it no longer feels forbidden even though now there’s a weight to the way they look each other. hopper’s death is in the room with them. his death a little more impactful now that it’s in this world, too
“what is it?” hopper asks, and his voice is gruff but steve’s learning that that’s just the way he sounds now. not softened yet, not smoothed around the edges on the journey to get his woman and to care for his daughter. the gravel in his voice is a bit like the pieces of his heart coming out with every word he speaks and steve wonders if he really is hurting all this time. but he knows he is. grief does that to you. sudden, insurmountable grief.
and he wonders, too, if, given time, his voice will sound like that as well. if it will get gravelly from lack of use so that all the pieces of his heart remain lodged in his lungs keeping him from breathing and making themselves known every time he tries to speak, to talk about it.
“steve?”
“nothing,” he says, snapping back into the moment, curling in a little on himself even though the cabin is so warm he wants to cry about it all the time now. “just…”
hopper waits. lets him look. that patience is new. a little unsettling, too.
he wants to hug him. it’s completely irrational, they’re not like that, they don’t care about each other like that or pretend like they’re some kind of family where you can just go ask for a hug, or offer one; or… but he died. and now he’s back. and steve wants to cry about that all the time, too, and—
he swallows. “nothing.”
a hum is his only response, the sound not as gravelly as before, almost melodious as it lingers between them. his body feels like it’s about to burst, and his chest is constructing, and he really wants… he really wants that hug. or just to go sit beside him and lean into him. feel that proof of life. tell him he’s glad, apologise again for his words. i wish you’d stayed dead.
the urge gets worse, and he imagines getting up and asking for a hug. he imagines hopper getting out of his dusty old armchair and closing the distance, pulling him into his arms because he sees how fucked up steve is and isn't scared of it.
he doesn’t. he won’t. and the impossibility of it leaves him tearing at the seams.
@spookednsaucy you say such real things
#time travel au#time travel steve#he lives in my head rent free and i love him so much#steve & hopper#steve harrington#every chapter people comment that steve needs a hug. does this count as edging then?

i made the horrendous mistake of watching the start of an old rdr2 playthrough while taking a break from writing and it was possibly the worst decision i've ever made
#my mind is torn between western au and hockey au bc i can't stop thinking about sid crosby and nate mackinnon at the asg#(neither are what im writing for my exchange)#there are so many fics i want to read... but if i let myself pick them up before finishing this fic i will be proving my lack of selfcontro#ceil's ko-fi fic AND new chapter of the price fic????? i want them so BAD but i like actually just cannot let myself#i have good asks in my inbox but i canNOT let myself answer them#it took me soooo long to figure out what to do with this fic AND i have two abandoned drafts from when i first got my exchange person#so i've been stuck here for like. ever. with no progress made!!!!#((that's not true i've actually made a good amount of progress on this final draft but let me complain))#i am Not going to have time to edit as much as i usually like to btw so like. if it's a little rough around the edges NOBODY say smth#not that anyone would?? i've never gotten a bitchy “constructive criticism” comment but im terrified of them lmfao#welcome back to: venting in the tags#y'all im distractible and stressed

Fandom: Star Wars, Prequel Trilogy, Jedi Apprentice Series, The Wrath of Darth Maul, Star Wars: Rebels, Star Wars Legends: Tales of the Jedi
Chapter: 27/?
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence
Relationships: Obi-Wan Kenobi & Xanatos, Qui-Gon JInn & Feemor, Feemor & Bruck Chun, Xanatos & Qui-Gon Jinn
Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Xanatos, Qui-Gon Jinn, Feemor, Bruck Chun, Bant Eerin, Tahl, Quinlan Vos, Ahsoka Tano, Orykan Tamarik, Cay Qel-Droma
Additional Tags: Time Travel, Time Travel Fix-It, Angst, Fluff, Liberal Use of the Force, Found Family, Secret Identity, Yoda's Disaster Lineage, Redemption, Psychological Trauma, Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms, PTSD, Panic Attacks, Slavery, Minor Character Death, Graphic Death, Body Horror, Force Ghosts, Minor OCs, BAMF Obi-Wan Kenobi
Summary:
“Young Bant Eerin is having…difficulties.”
Feemor frowns. “Master, we have no way of knowing what she is truly seeing. It could be past, present or future— and we do not even know if the future she sees will come to pass.”
Even so, Bant’s visions are troubling, full of shadow and violence. At the centre of it all is one person. Sometimes man. Sometimes boy. Sometimes something else entirely. But it is always Kenobi, there is no denying that. His essence is the same, no matter how it twists and warps and crumbles.
“If we could only find him—” Qui-Gon interrupts himself, gaze far-off. “In another life, maybe, he could have been my- my padawan, but now…”
Feemor worries for his former Master. And for this strange youngling he's never even met, and likely never will.
--
In which Obi-Wan acts in the only way he knows how after a lifetime of regret and self-sacrifice.
But the thing with that is this: Obi-Wan has thought himself to be alone for far, far too long. And he is not the only player on the field.

#I’m at 7k and it feels like I’m no where close to done#who’s idea was it to squeeze so much plot into two chapters? 🫠#i don’t have the heart to break it up because then NOTHING would happen in chapter 10 and I’d just feel like I’m edging y’all 😂#A Blaze in the Dark

i actually took a break from writing chapter two to write some backstory drabbles which recontextualized some of the interactions between two characters for a scene in chapter two. this means i am back in the forge dungeons once more, but i think it frames the narrative better so a worthwhile reason to be back in the forge.... i guess......
#get me out of the forge please........................#i don't think anyone will actually end up knowing how much of two i've rewritten#but good golly miss molly if i aint in a flow state rn#apparently i've used that tag before LMAO?#rambling#chapter two is. huge so far#like i'll honestly be shocked if i knock it out sooner than like. end of year.#we're talking like 40 pages and barely edged out of the first few scenes
