Dash Game: Behind the Mun
Name: Hardy! (Or Bambi, but @minxchester calls me that)
Pronouns: They/Them, She/Her, He/Him, I don't care, gender is a construct and I am but a set of bones in a sack of meat with a sentient organ that keeps me going
Most Active Muses: Most definitely the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew characters and OCs I have. I'm also on a kind of Hazbin kick, so my Hazbin muses are awake a lot. Getting into the Empyrean brain rot, so I know I'll have Xaden floating around a lot.
Experience: Mostly tumblr, I've been on it for a little over a decade now. But I did also have a couple of profiles on this old meme site, which I ended up leaving, because the group I was associated with imploded with drama and I just wasn't diggin' it.
Fluff, Angst, or Smut: I love adventure, fluff and smut, honestly. Angst is also well and good, but I can't drag angst on forever and ever, it just gets exhausting.
Long or Short Replies: Mmmm maybe something more in the middle? I like long replies, but I like semi long replies too. Short replies can be okay for small quick things, but if I'm giving a couple of paragraphs and you only give me two sentences, that's...why?
Pet Peeves: I don't necessarily have a lot of pet peeves. I think my biggest issue is when people don't communicate with me. I have it plastered all over my rules that if I do or say something that bothers you, I'm not gonna realize it bothered you until you let the resentment build and start treating me differently. Like, I am genuinely clueless 9 times out of 10, and I don't go out of my way to hurt people either. I've been bullied since literally pre-school! Why on earth would I intentionally hurt anyone since I know what it feels like? It doesn't make sense.
Also I'm not a fan of antis. Just a bunch of conservatives in trenchcoats, go somewhere else if you wanna try and prosecute people for playing with the equivalent of paper dolls. How sad are you, that you think sending death threats or trying to ruin someone's life over a fucking ship you don't like? Grow up, there are bigger problems, like the States turning into a fascist country. And the craziest shit is that I get antis following me from time to time, like, I know you didn't read my rules! So I automatically hard block for that.
Are You Like Your Muse: "Am I like my muses" lmao. I make them like me to have them fit better.
Time to Write: I'm Eastern Standard Time. Generally sometime past 5pm, because I have a job during the day, and Wednesdays and Saturdays I am usually free all day.

I am really not the target demographic for Red, White and Royal Blue and honestly, the entire premise sounds dumb af from where I'm sitting, but all the gifs that crossed my dash looked hilarious and that main actor is beyond gorgeous, so I am going to give it a shot tonight. My expectations are so low, that unless this movie gets a shovel and starts digging, there is no chance it cannot exceed them. I am so ready to eat my words, just give me some pretty people, mindless fluff and basic comedy and I will be happy, I swear!
***
TWO FUCKING HOURS?
You guys, I'm going to be honest here, I don't think I have it in me to sit through this 😭😭
***
LOL, only a younger brother 🤣🤣 They did not have the guts to go all in and make him the heir to the throne.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, lol @ "Prince of England's hearts" but even more so at "whom all the world adores" 🤣🤣 I cannot. I am absolutely not the target demographic for this and I don't think I have it in me to just go along with this, fictional British royal family or not. Who speaks like this? Who even believes it?
Anyway. Abolish the monarchy, Guillotine them all. Long live the glorious revolution!
***
LMFAO 🤣🤣
Tumblr media
Well, at least he looks equally disgusted.
If we can't off the royal family, how about we just off this news announcer? Because I am getting so much second-hand embarrassment.
***
LMAO, OK, he gets ONE point 🤣🤣
Tumblr media
OK, fine, two points, because he is stupid beautiful and the reason I sat down to watch this in the first place 😤
***
Yassss, girlfriend has great taste!
Tumblr media
I'm two minutes in and so far, she's my favourite. I would totally watch a two-hour movie of her touring London and giving commentary on the yumminess of various guys she encounters.
***
LMAO, is he going to get hammered and smash the obscene 75-thousand-pound cake? 🤣🤣
Tumblr media
Because why else would they mention that price point and also show the cake in all its humongous 8-tier glory 🤣🤣
Tumblr media
Here for the diplomatic incident, ngl, I would totally read the shit out of that in the tabloids the next day 🤣🤣
***
NOOOOO, THE CAKE IS RIGHT BEHIND THEM!
Tumblr media
THEY WILL TOTALLY TOPPLE THAT CAKE!
***
Okay, I am laughing 🤣🤣
Tumblr media
***
SCREAMING 🤣🤣
Tumblr media
I saw it coming from a mile away, but goddamn, it DELIVERED! 🤣🤣
***
I can't stop laughing 🤣🤣
Tumblr media
Watching this was such a good decision 🤣🤣
***
LOL, if this was a real-life event, I would spend a week gleefully reblogging it on Tumblr, no lie 🤣🤣
Tumblr media
Also, it is a 9-TIER CAKE, not 8 🤣🤣 The more, the messier!
***
LMFAO 🤣🤣
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, OMG! Uma Thurman! 😍 It's been a hundred years since I watched her in anything!
***
"Sunshine of my heart" 🤣🤣
Tumblr media
This movie is hilarious 🤣🤣
***
Wait, Sarah Shahi??
Tumblr media
I loved her in Life! I also watched Fairly Legal for her and thought she was stunning in The L Word! I'm forever bitter we never got to see that Nancy Drew adaptation with her in the main role 😕
***
The thing that is the most difficult for me to suspend my disbelief for is the idea that these two overly privileged young men involved in their countries' respective politics are actually nice people.
Tumblr media
I keep chanting to myself, "You are not here for realism! You are not here for realism! YOU ARE NOT HERE FOR REALISM!"
To varying levels of success 😕
***
Romantic comedies are so not my genre. And I am so not here for ex-boyfriends or whatever this guy is.
Tumblr media
I need Alex and Henry to get back together ASAP and start smashing cakes again because I'm starting to get bored.
***
These are gutter-level jokes.
Tumblr media
Seriously, they couldn't get more creative?
***
They have the most basic taste in literature ever. It doesn't even feel authentic, more like what a nineteen-year-old girl thinks good taste in literature should look like.
***
I feel like I am extremely uncharitable towards this movie (the cake thing was funny tho) but it is very hard to take their bland flirting, pedestrian romance and pathetic humour seriously when you're coming into this from 2ha 😕 The standards that have been set are on another planet compared to what we are being given here.
***
Please 😭
Tumblr media
And smash another cake, otherwise I don't know how I'm going to make it through another hour-and-a-half of this 😭😭
***
The things I will watch for pretty people 😭
Tumblr media
He truly is stupid beautiful and makes this thing infinitely more watchable every time he's on screen.
***
I'm with Henry on this one, this party is like something straight out of my worst nightmares and crushing on the tall, hot guy seems like the only tolerable thing in this whole hellscape.
Tumblr media
***
Aww, baby, he is not having a good time.
Tumblr media
He wants to kiss him for New Year's too!
***
LOL.
Tumblr media
Well. That escalated 🤣🤣
***
NOOOOO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING JUST STARING AFTER HIM?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
RUN AFTER HIM AND TELL HIM IT'S OK AND THAT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE SOMEWHERE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS!!
***
And some women! 👀
Tumblr media
She's my favourite character in this thing, lol, followed closely by Sarah Shahi and Uma Thurman. And then Prince Henry 😅
***
This guy stands no chance to the level that it's embarrassing he still keeps trying.
Tumblr media
I almost feel sorry for him, but I kinda have the feeling that he's going to be the one to out Alex and Henry, so my sympathy is very shallow. Just know when you've lost, my man, and MOVE ON.

REGARDING: STAY TUNED FOR DANGER
Tumblr media
Lately i decided to play all Nancy Drew games, because I’ve been craving point and click with puzzles (got back into Sudoku, nonograms and puzzles too!) so its classic choice. The humor and good vibes of those games are amazing. Once upon a time, I played Secrets can kill, which is why i started with Stay tuned for danger (chronologically second game)
I made this Tumblr to just give off (very) loose thoughts, everything under this and every post is my attempt to get back into writing. Anything really. I'm not expert on anything, just really love movies, video games and books. Also, no friends that are into the same stuff.
This game is not available through official stores anymore (only on HER official website) and it’s understandable. The mechanics got badly outdated. The biggest drawback of this game was me blocking myself out of the rest of the game, because i didn't pickup goddamn wire cutters after getting into the room FOR THE FIRST TIME being able to snoop. And i didn’t have save, of course. I restarted the whole game and was saving every 3 minutes or so. The objects were also not visibly obvious to pick up. I wish there was remaster.
This game has terrible models, but it’s honestly not that big of a deal. Kind of reminded me of the Ken character in Toy Story, the body moves very mechanical and face expressions jumping from one to another. It made everything more comical, so I had fun. Nothing was very serious thanks to (or because of) that. The archetypes of characters were really stereotypical which would be fun if the game didn’t lack self awareness, it felt like a writing flaw. But I get it, it's only second game they made
It was very short (without taking the restart into account). Took about 3 hours I think. It wasn’t memorable at all, unfortunately. The characters were weirdly written in a way that all of them were very suspicious, even after finding out who’s the antagonist. It didn’t feel to be made on purpose, The whole tone of the game felt flat. The upscale of nothing happening to bomb out of a sudden was a confusing one, really.
The biggest flaw for me was basically lack of puzzles! I genuinely can’t remember one puzzle that wasn’t just a fetch quest. Maybe the cipher one? I don't know, got so disappointed…
Additionally, i got lost A LOT, but I'm not gonna put it on the creators, it's just my shitty sense of directions. One click, my character turned around and i was lost. The game would take half a time less if it wasn’t for me not being able to know where i am and where i should go. I got frustrated at myself quickly. Almost made a map of everything, ALMOST.
Overall I'm still happy i played it, i had nice evening full of funny dialogues, comical character models and listening to Nancy’s thoughts. I had fun, which is exactly what i expected from this. Nothing less, nothing more.
Is this worth getting? No. Unless youre kind of completionist like me and have to get through EVERY game/book in a series you start.
I dont like rating things, it makes me put expectation on myself to always keep other things rated in mind, so no rating. However this is my opinion: fun and short, kind of boring. Perfect to just click mindlessly as you need to do something to fight complete boredom.

Last year, I took the day off for my birthday to start binging The Rookie because Tumblr convinced me to with all of the Chenford gifs. My favorite memory of that day: “Why is the Chen of Chenford dating Nathan Fillion’s character? Wait, are Chen and Bradford not the stars of this show???”
This year, its The Mentalist because the Nancy Drew fandom convinced me to and we’re all collectively mourning the end of that show and need something to ship. So here goes, S1, ep 1…

20 questions writer meme!
Tagged by @onlygenxhere, Thank you!
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 15 (I keep meaning to move tumblr fic over though)
2. What's your total AO3 word count? 62,690
3. What fandoms do you write for? Julie and the Phantoms like half Nancy Drew CW (it was a crossover)
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
A JatP Untitled Goose Fic 🦢⚠
I Hit Back a Little Louder
Oh My God, They Were Gymmates
A Kitty on My Foot and I Want to Touch It
Help! I've Fallen and I Can't Giddy-Up
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Ehhhhhh unreliably. I want to but get anxiety. I've been working on it and have done a lot better on more recent fic than older ones.
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Me? Angst? Psh. girl please. i only tease the angst at friends via ps i love you au (😘) but like. maybe ch 2 of Help! I've Fallen and I Can't Giddy-Up or i've had some semi angst adjacent drabbles on tumblr. I guess. I'm not about that life.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? most are fairly open-ended but headed towards HEA. But i feel like maybe Live It Like It's Meow or Never because Reggie gets to be a cat and take a nap in the sun!
8. Do you get hate on fics? Nope.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do not. I'm just starting to get comfortable writing slightly heated kissing 😅 (comfortable she says! HA! she had a mini panic attack writing the kiss in Justice, Over Easy)
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? Remember that half Nancy Drew CW fandom i mentioned earlier? I did a JATPxND ficlet that went over surprisingly well.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? nope
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? nope
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? nope. i currently have a hard enough time writing with myself lol
14. What's your all-time favorite ship? i'm assuming this means to write since it's a writers ask game. Juke, but if i bring alex into it much, willie is bound to follow (him anywhere)
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? I had a really intense juke dream about a month ago... 2 months ago. that i started writing a scene from because honestly it was a pretty cool premise. but the further i get away from that night, the more other wips are being prioritized. maybe i will just share the morning text ramble of it i did in the group chat because i really do want to share something. I just don't think it will be a written out ficlet.
16. What are your writing strengths? IDEAS. I can see a thing happen and be like "BUT WHAT IF JUKE" for days on end. in apparently very strange places too. I feel like i have rather unusual premise for what i end up writing sometimes.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? despite knowing what a good narrative can look like, i immediately cannot recall it once writing. It's not like it's bad but i feel like it lacks a bit and reflects my short time since starting to write. Also, if i write it the simple dumb way to get it out of my brain. Chances are, it will take me 4 months to go from reading it and saying "well i wrote the thought out. it's there. it's done" unable to write it any different or better, to my editor brain kicking in and figuring out how to really say it.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? Um. If it's necessary within the realms of the plot and characters it's fine? I'm not multilingual so anything i did would be google translated or asking a friend that speaks it, so i don't really mess around with it. as a reader, if a fic on ao3 says it's in english, i normally don't want half a chapter to be in another language even if it is a native tongue to multiple characters since I don't know what they are saying without using a translator or scrolling to the bottom a/n so /shrug. take that as you will.
19. First fandom you wrote for? jatp. no other fandom i've been a part of has made me go quite this feral.
20. Favorite fic you've written? Picking a favorite is impossible. But I'd say i'm probably currently most proud of Help! I've Fallen and I Can't Giddy Up as it was the first (and only) chaptered fic that i've finished and i challenged myself with each chapter. But honestly, i add new elements to each fic i post, whether its learning new html, learning how skins work on ao3, making a gif/picture to go with it, or just challenging myself within the writing like getting more confident with intimacy.
I think I'm supposed to tag people so, @tangledstarlight @story-courty @writerownstory no pressure though!

Nancy Drew Rewatch 104: The Haunted Ring
(as always, thank you to my excellent rewatch partner, @middleagedresidentofriverdale)
Oh man this episode is RAW. Someone on this writing staff has lost a parent before, and it shows. It's brutally real.
This is also a character-driven episode in a way that feels completely different from the last one. Ostensibly, very little plot happens, but we unpack some things we've needed to since the pilot.
An incredibly Nick-light episode.
Look, if I start hearing the noises they are, I'm burning the place down, not investigating. Nancy Drew I will never be.
The jumpscares actually work for me in this show. I am a wimp, and they are ridiculously easy to anticipate.
Maybe it's just me, but I like seeing glimpses of Nancy's room. She's portrayed as so tough and guarded and her room is just very...pink and girly. It's an interesting contradiction.
I love the Ruth Bader Ginsburg art on her board though.
This episode really seems to lay out that no matter when you lose a parent, it's devastating. Nancy was 18, and it nearly wrecked her. Even when you're older, the death of a parent is shattering.
Laura Tandy. Another entry in the "I know Ace is dating her but I don't know why and I am not sure if I'm supposed to be rooting for this?"
Oh Ace, sweet baby. Subtle as a train wreck and adorably unable to lie.
"OH WOW! THIS IS RANDOM!"
Eventually babe, Nancy is going to rub off on you and you'll get a TOUCH more subtle.
@middleagedresidentofriverdale excellently pointed out that Tiffany Hudson is the Jason Blossom of Nancy Drew.
Oh thank GOD the American accent is gone, watching the British leak through all the time was so distracting.
"Just because family isn't that important to you" exFUCKINGscuse me?
Redacted not tumblr safe opinions.
EVERYONE LIES TO NANCY.
This scene at Kate's grave...sweetie. You just want to come through the screen and hug this poor girl.
Ace forgives WAY too easily. Beautiful scenery though.
Nancy and the beanie. I get that Kate knit the beanie, but if it's meant to hide the very distinctive hair I....don't think it's working?
Anyway, no Nace interactions in this episode but this was devastating even to me, a person with both parents still alive:
Tumblr media
And Ace just looking his best here
Tumblr media Tumblr media
To 105!

2023 Movie Journey #17: Elemental
Tumblr media
elemental. i watched this one earlier this week with my family...and i'm finally caught up on movie reviews! which means i can now post new ones right after i see the movies. yay.
this movie's cast has some actors who i know, probably most notably a guy i enjoyed in jurassic world dominion. but much, much more importantly, the star of this movie is leah lewis, so even if i hadn't liked the movie overall i still would have had a great time watching it.
i fell immediately in love with leah lewis's portrayal of george when i started watching nancy drew this year. and i mean immediately--i was watching with somebody who loved bess the most, and i had seen so much ace on my tumblr dash that i knew i'd like him too, but george was still my favorite character by the time i finished the pilot. without even knowing how great and rewarding her season 1 arc would be, or how much depth she would eventually have beyond her introduction as 'grudge-holding black sheep nancy's boss,' i could just tell she was my type of fave.
and even after watching the whole first season of nancy drew, it wasn't until i was rewatching it to show it to @actuallylukedanes that i accidentally learned george was played by leah lewis...and that i already knew her! she was in the half of it! which i watched and reviewed in 2020, and loved so much that i've wanted to get other people to watch it ever since. i didn't connect her performances at all, but even my review back then raved about how she was what made the movie good.
so when i realized she was starring in this, i was thrilled. and what i love about her is that she's consistently the kind of actor who has a real presence: she makes her characters engaging and stands out in a big way for somebody still young (though she started acting as a kid, so i know she's not new just cuz she's newish to me). she's signed on to the matlock reboot with kathy bates and i don't expect to love that cbs show, but i am very excited to try it anyway.
as for the movie though: i couldn't help but spend the first half just hearing george, in all her lines. not in a distracting or bad way, but a nice familiar feeling. i suspect the goal with animated disney heroines is to not make them too distinctive, because there's kind of a 'friendly normal' sound to the modern ones regardless of the actress that means even when i can recognize who's speaking, they all sound a little more similar than i would ever say they do in live action work. (either that or it's just me not being able to differentiate as well in animation, which is certainly possible.)
anyway, i loved everything about her work in this; she was the reason i cried a few times. in my opinion that's always a mark of good work, making an impressive amount of connection with viewers using just your voice.
i also really liked her parents and wade, despite the movie's core conflict revolving around all of them--this movie did a good job of explaining who everybody was as things went along, in a more than superficial way, so that it was much easier to still like people when the Bad Times came because they made more sense and were more sympathetic. as family conflicts go, compared to encanto and turning red, this one was my favorite because of that. no matter how angry or disappointed her father got, or how much that affected ember, i could still sympathize with him too and believe that his love for her was more important than anything else.
now, i know this movie got mixed reviews (or possibly worse? i only saw vague headlines) but i'm not really sure why! the metaphor they used to tell the story about immigration and a diverse society was maybe more blunt than usual, but i don't think that's a bad thing. and while it did center on themes that disney movies cover a lot (family expectations, parental disappointment, feeling like a failure, being an outsider, etc)...there are reasons those themes pop up so much!
especially when pixar movies are trying to appeal to both kids and adult audiences, i think it makes total sense to keep coming back to the 'classics.' again, there were a lot of thematic similarities between encanto and turning red and this movie (despite their differences in the details) and i watched those other two--encanto more than once--but still cried just as easily when ember confessed to her dad that she was a bad daughter, and when they bowed to each other before she left. the wounds between us and our parents never really heal, i think, at least not for everybody. so this movie tugged at me by just representing those feelings well, and making me care about the characters.
and when it comes to caring about the characters, probably my favorite thing about the movie besides the cast was the way the plot genuinely surprised me. i expected a happy ending, because it's a disney movie. but based on the trailer, i didn't know what to expect between ember and wade beyond 'they meet and things happen.' and the movie does such a good job of setting up the world they live in and the rules they live by that i believed them.
so in the beginning, i figured they were going to become unexpected friends, and navigating that alone would be a challenge. in that story, presumably the happy ending would've been something like, she learns that wade is right and she doesn't have to stay with fire people and never interact with the rest of the world, and they get to have further adventures.
but then! it turns out that this movie is going for romance. weirdly, i don't expect that from disney movies--you'd think i would when they're the home of princess culture and everything, but i wasn't a 'princess meets her prince for a happy ending' kid. i grew up with disney classics but didn't imprint on any of them.
instead, i was a don bluth kid! singing music from an american tail is literally one of my earliest memories, and my animated love story growing up was anastasia. if i squint, i can kind of see overlap between that animated romcom and this one, in terms of traumatic family history and a guarded, feisty female lead who gets what she thought she wanted all along just as she's also fallen in love with someone whose difference threatens her new fulfilled goal.
i'm not saying the two movies are very alike, lol...a zombie sorcerer belongs nowhere in elemental, obviously. but they both treat their romances with less sentimental sweetness, more sparkage and sincerity. the flirting in this is cute, and i loved them more the further along we went.
but of course, there's still that pesky plot-established problem that makes them a doomed romance. so once it was clear that their dynamic was about falling in love, not just befriending the 'other'...then i honestly expected a bittersweet ending where friends is all they can be. because this is disney, not pushing daisies, and in a world where nobody seems to have invented the elemental version of saran wrap for characters to safely kiss through, what kind of future could they have?
i did not expect them to give us this story where the characters are all believable in how firmly they believe (or don't, in wade's case) that different elements can't mix, and then for the story to show us those differences being overcome. i mean, that theme isn't exactly a new one, love conquering all, but the differences were so much more concrete here--it was life or death for them! when the parental disapproval alone was almost enough to ruin their chances!
i suppose you could flip my reaction to this movie and look at it the opposite way, and complain that their ability in the end to do what the story all along told us couldn't be done made it a waste of time, like the stakes were fake even if they didn't know that. maybe if you predicted the ending from the beginning, it could have felt that way.
but i didn't have expectations for the ending. so while i was really hoping ember and wade could be together, i was prepared for the alternative, a more modest 'crossing the aisles' journey of discovery for them both that opened her world and future and allowed him into her life from a safe distance going forward. instead, their whole story was wonderful and i love them and i'm so glad that they get to be the odd couple they are in a very divided world.
one last fun (if also slightly vexing) thing about this movie is that while it does end, it leaves a lot open, too. and i wanted to get to see ember start her internship; i wanted to learn about their new life and if it goes well for them once they're out in the broader world. i guess i wasn't ready to say goodbye to them, really, is all.
but that was fun at least on the level of seeing this with my family--it meant that after it ended, we were discussing what a sequel could be about, and that segued into a discussion about whether ember and wade could have kids or if they'd have to adopt--and how cool it would be if them having kids would create new elements or something. i love that idea a lot.
and i enjoyed this movie a lot. it was super pretty, i liked most of the characters, and it was unexpected romcom fun. i'm officially rooting for pixar to make more love stories now.

AFIKQUWXY
A — answered here!
F — What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?
the 911 fandom for sure! i don't think i've ever stuck around in a fandom as long as this one and continued to make content for it as well :)
I — Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?
the marvel fandom...not that i ever even liked it to begin with, but the terrible media literacy, bigotry, etc finally caused me to break and call it quits
K — What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?
eddie diaz from 911, and also emma swan from ouat
Q — A fandom you’ve abandoned and why
i feel like i kinda abandoned the nancy drew fandom 😔 i was disappointed with some of the stuff they did in s4 and i haven't gotten around to finishing the rest of the season yet
U — Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.
eddie diaz from 911 — he's had one of the best character arcs i've ever seen and there are so many interesting layers to him angela lopez from the rookie — she's soo. badass and interesting and so underrated emma swan from ouat — she's the original blorbo for me tbh, she's suffered more than jesus and she deserved to go evil. as a treat. no character has deserved to break and commit war crimes more than her
W — A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.
i don't know if you would call it a trope but i really hate it when in fanfics the main pair gets together and the other characters 'threaten' or try to give the shovel talk to one half of the ship. it's such an old and tired trope and the 911 fandom is particularly bad with it imo
X — A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.
i love a good childhood friends AU!
Y — What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?
merlin! though it might not be secondhand for long because everyday i am more tempted to start the show
ship/character/trope ask game

August Reads
In the country I am from August is about holidays and trips, so while I have a little time for work it was a month I didn’t read much, only 8 books, 7 of which I will review here and the other is a Greek book so I would leave it out, but it was an emotional month with two series I love very much ending. The first was Riverdale, which was why I started my Ao3 and my Tumblr; the second was Nancy Drew, my comfort series for the past 4 years. Also, ships in both of these would always be on my top ships list.
As for the books, this month was full of romance short stories and a book about facts that I like very much. So let’s see them together, as always you can find them all in Goodreads:
All Inn Thyme (Erin Branscom): A good book about a gardener and a mechanic who became housemates with their dog and the gardener’s child. I love all of the Freedom Valley they are cute, and sexy, and have complicated characters with lives and reasons to make you emotional. I liked this one because the story was intriguing too.
Love Inn Books (Erin Branscom): I love books about bookshops or literary types and this wasn’t the only one I read this month. Even though it has the typical plot of the enemies to lovers. It is about a lawyer and his new secretary, the aspired book owner in this one. Their pets are adorable too, a dog and a raccoon. I liked the pranks around the office and also, the chemistry between them.
Beach Read (Emily Henry): I loved this book for many reasons the characters are wonderful and complex which I loved. They had history but they were both writers in different genres one in nonfiction and the other in romantic comedy. The plot was amazing and it had a cult in it which I didn’t expect.
Book Lovers (Emily Henry): Another book about books, this time about editors in a small town famous because of the book they talked about in their first meeting years ago. Now their lives have changed and they have started to spend a lot of time together in this town. We see them in their problems and their families something that could bring them closer.
Start Us Up (Lexi Blake): I love this one as I am starting a career in tech it has much of the world and it is a romance about an idea and the start of the company, and an adorable grandmother and the friendship of three different women. The romance is good but it is not as sizzling as the previous ones.
Parker Pyne Investigates (Agatha Christie): A collection of short about a detective who solves problems of the heart. It is very funny and has a charming protagonist with an affinity for a good life and statistics.
All About the History of British Royals (DK Publications): It was a good entertaining book for William the Conquer to Elizabeth II. I was really good and had many facts, and biographies and the romances of the royal family.

The reason Will and Barbara being taken into the Upside Down by the demogorogon is their feelings?
Something about @aemiron-art mentioning only Will and Barbara were taken to the Upside Down by the demogorgon drew my attention, so I started to look for more Will/Barb parallels. Here is what I’ve found (idk if anyone already wrote about it). They're followed with my thoughts and theories, be free to share yours because that's what Tumblr and this show are for!
Vanishing of Will/Barb
Tumblr media
The scenes of their vanishings are identical - both hear growls behind, turn around and see a demogorgon. Then there’s something wrong with the electricity and after a moment - no sign of Will/Barb.
Will is taken by the demogorgon after saying “it was a 7” to Mike and having no response from him. What if it symbolises he told Mike how he feels about him? He couldn't lie to him although Lucas said it's okay. What if it was a kind of love confession and Mike ignored it (not on purpose of course. We see the moments of miscommunication between these two every season), so Will is taken into the Upside Down (=experiences internalized homophobia. Now, Barb. What if she was also in love with her best friend? What if the reason the demogorgon took her into the Upside Down too was her realisation that her feelings would never be reciprocated and they would never be together.
So, metaphorically, everything connected to the Upside Down represents how a person feels when their feelings aren’t reciprocated/when they’re rejected. Recently, I was thinking about Dart and how he may represent Mike and Will’s feelings, but now I feel like Dart represents Mike’s feelings in particular to Will (he’s growing throughout the whole s2 and we see Mike’s feelings toward Will become stronger, but then El closes the gate and he’s dead = Mike tries to bury his feelings toward Will in s3, but we see that demogorgons are alive in Russia). So, if Dart represents Mike’s love toward Will then the demogorgon that took Will and Barb represents their repressed love towards Mike and Nancy. They’re feeling awful and ashamed about themselves, a mistake. That feeling consumes them, takes them to the Upside Down.
Pizza scenes
Now I want you to look at this parallel. This is the first time we see Nancy in s1 and she’s talking with Barb about Steve. Dustin wants to treat her pizza, but she refuses. Who else refuses to eat pizza in s4, but then tries and likes it? Mike. Nancy doesn’t eat pizza, because she doesn’t love Barb romantically, but Mike does love Will that way.
Tumblr media
Nancy & Barbara talking
Tumblr media
“You’re better still hang out with me, that's what I’m saying” and “Can we play D&D now?”
Another two parallels are actually Nancy/Mike parallels, but it’s connected to Barb, so I added them. Both Nancy and Mike are acting weird and pretending to be someone else while dating Steve/El.
Tumblr media
knockoff/nack (shoutout to @mikesbreathcatches for this one) = fake.
In this parallel Mike is paralleled to Steve and El - to Nancy. However initially, Nancy doesn’t want to change in front of Steve and asks for some privacy, but then changes her mind, and El starts undressing in front of the boys, but Mike stops her and tells her to go to the bathroom for some privacy.
Tumblr media
Nancy & Barb in the car before Steve's party
In this scene Barb drives Nancy to Steve and we see she doesn’t want to go to that party. She calls the situation stupid and stupid=love, because “only love makes you that crazy and that’s stupid”, so she basically tells Nancy that she loves her and that is why she doesn’t want to be there with her, because she’s going to be with Steve and it would hurt Barb. But Nancy reminds Barb about the promise (“promise” has platonic connotations in the show and is associated with Mike/El and Hopper/El) and that this is going to be fun. After this Barb says Nancy that the reason Steve actually invited her to his home is he only wants to sleep with her and that Nancy is not that stupid (=Nancy doesn’t love Barb romantically). Nancy once again asks Barb to come with her so she wouldn’t do anything stupid (=so she wouldn’t fall in love).
Tumblr media
We know what happened. Nancy stays at Steve’s and lets Barb go home alone and her heart is broken because of it. Mike lets Will go home alone and his heart is broken because Mike didn’t get the message, the confession.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you’re still with me then you’ve already read the posts of incredible @kaypeace21 I added above. Her theories inspired me to look deeper in the show and i with she continued analysing it :c So, she also wrote a post on the “Rebel Robin” book and there is this quote where Barb is mentioned:
Tumblr media
“Barb is like me…” And we know that Robin is a lesbian from s3 (and yes, I know that the information from these books isn’t official information and we can’t trust it 100%, but still).
My final thought - I do believe it’s not a coincidence Barbara and Will were taken into the Upside Down by the demogorgon. I think the reason Barbara died and Will stayed alive is because Will’s love was mutual - Mike loved him back romantically, not platonically. Unfortunately, Nancy loved Barb only as a friend and we know, she tried so hard to save her, she just couldn’t, because her love was different.
As I already said, I do believe to defeat Vecna and to destroy the Upside Down Mike and Will should confess to each other and stop to be ashamed of their feelings, they should accept themselves. These two, as a couple, will play a key role in the final battle. As Matthew Modine posted on Twitter: “All you need is love.”

“Will you tell me why you’re so grumpy instead of sulking around and ignoring me?” Y/N finally asked, letting the words that had bubbled up in her chest out. Ever since they had returned from a party they went to the previous night, Yelena had been giving her dirty looks and refusing to talk to her, and Y/N was determined to go Nancy Drew and figure out why.
Yelena, who had been sitting across her with a pout on her face and was twirling her spoon in her oatmeal, suddenly dropped the utensil. It clattered against the bowl and tipped into the oatmeal like an ingredient in a brewing potion. Her chair screeched against the floorboards as she pushed it back and stood up to leave.
Y/N huffed, annoyed at her older sister’s behavior. “Yelena!” She cried.
This stopped the blonde in her tracks and she spun around on her heels, shocking Y/N with the intense flare in her eyes. “You want to know why I’m ‘sulking around and ignoring you’?” She exclaimed, imitating her.
Y/N’s lips pulled together tightly. “Yes,” she hissed through grit teeth, cheeks reddening.
“Because when we got back from the party last night, guess who got yelled at by Melina? ME, not you!” She cried, breathing heavily.
Y/N leapt forward in her seat. “How are you blaming that on me? I don’t control what Melina does!” She retorted.
Yelena bit her lip. “Because you’re the youngest and you have some sort of talent that— I mean, with your puppy dog eyes and—!” She started.
Y/N threw her hands up in the air. “Are you kidding me?! I’m not a witch,” she bit back.
“Well you might as well be, because somehow you manage to get out of everything!” Yelena said.
Y/N furrowed her eyebrows. “What are you talking about?” She asked.
“When Natasha and I went into the Red Room, you got out of it because you were ‘too young’! You know nothing about what we went through!” She yelled.
Y/N stood up. “Would you rather me have gone through the Red Room?” She yelled back.
This quieted Yelena. She didn’t say anything for a moment, too angry too, and that was almost scarier than her actually speaking. “Of course not. I wouldn’t want anything to go through that. But I was young, too. Natasha was young. But you ran away. You evaded them. Somehow, you knew what to do to avoid it!” She said in a low voice.
Y/N glared. “When I saw them carry you and Natasha away, unconscious — of course I ran! I was five and I was terrified!” She said, and then paused for a moment before continuing, speaking in a low voice to match Yelena. “But if you knew anything about me, you’d know that I did not simply ‘get out of the Red Room’.”
She turned around, not bothering to wait for Yelena’s reaction, and walked right out of the house through the back door. As soon as she stepped outside, the sun was shining on her and the autumn air filled her nose. This started the process of calming the anger fueling her and she decided to go on a walk, digging her feet into the grass as she did, soaking it all in.
-------------------------
About half an hour later, when happiness replaced her anger, she decided to start walking back. It took her around ten minutes, as she did walk quite far, but she knew the way. She always did love walking around outside the house, especially when it was autumn. The red and orange leaves were just gorgeous.
Turning the handle and stepping inside, the quietness sent a chill down her spine, one she couldn’t explain. It wasn’t like the house to be this quiet. There was always a sound to hear. Whether it be Alexei boasting about his good ole days with Captain America or Yelena showing off her new vest, Y/N couldn’t count the amount of times she had wished for just a moment of silence.
Now, she wished for anything but silence.
Y/N first reminder herself that nothing was wrong. Nothing could be wrong. But as she navigated the house, it became quiet clear that despite the house being filled with three people when she left and the signs of it being lived in there, it was deserted. Empty. They were gone.
Where had they went?
Unable to whip up a sensical explanation, she slipped her phone out of her pocket and scrolled through her contacts. Just as she was about to tap on Yelena’s, the T.V — which had previously been showing its unusual nonsense that Y/N had gained the ability to block out — switched dramatically, catching her attention.
“Breaking news!” A man’s voice thundered.
Y/N turned around and became enchanted by it, having a sinking feeling that perhaps this could be related to her family . . .
“Reports from all over the world are claiming that people, animals, any living being have been disappearing into dust for the past couple minutes!” Y/N’s eyes widened at this and she felt faint. Whatever this was - it couldn’t be happening. People don’t just disappear.
“There have been a handful of videos uploaded to social media showcasing this,” the man continued before the screen switched to show one of those videos. A shaky camera was recording as all around them, in the park, people - just like the man had said - were disintegrating into dust all over.
Vomit wormed its way up her throat as she realized that her family were now reduced to piles of dust, too. They were gone.
The sound of her cell phone ringing snapped her attention away from the television and she looked down, shocked for a moment to see her eldest sister as the Caller ID. She couldn’t deny the massive sigh of relief she took, though, because that meant that Natasha was alive.
“Nat?”
Her voice came out smaller than she intended and in it the sound of her holding back tears was evident. The weight of this situation was falling onto her and, as the minutes ticked by, she realized that this wasn’t a cruel trick.
“Y/N. Thank god. Is—?”
Y/N knew the question that she was about to ask and, with the tears pooling in her eyes, didn’t think she could answer it. So she interrupted it with a question of her own.
“What happened?”
There was a noticeable pause before Natasha spoke, her voice quieted as she wrestled with it to remain in control. “We were fighting against this monster named Thanos who wanted to eliminate half of the population. We did our best but — he succeed,” she said, disappointed.
Y/N didn’t respond. She forced herself to turn away from the television as more videos of people disappearing were being shown.
“Are Yelena and—?” Natasha began to ask.
“Gone.”
Y/N stared ahead blankly at the wall, trembling as she was just about managing to prevent herself from collapsing on the ground. Any second now and her tears would rush out. She knew it.
This time, Natasha’s pause was longer. So long that at some point, Y/N wasn’t even sure that she was still on the phone, but kept a tight grip on her phone nonetheless, almost as if had she let go, the redhead would disappear, too.
“I’m coming to Russia,” was Natasha’s final statement.
-------------------------
Sure enough, Natasha held true to her word. When she walked through the door, Y/N practically feel into her arms, sobs racking her body. Through her sniffs, she managed to get out, “Y-Yelena and I argued. She said that I had gotten out of the Red Room. Now she and Alexei and Melina are all . . . they’re all gone. She’s gone and she h-hates me!” 
Natasha held her as her cries grew louder, desperately trying to prevent her own tears from coming. She had cried enough in the past couple days. Now she had to be strong for her younger sister. 
“Shh, shh. Yelena didn’t hate you,” Natasha comforted softly, but still firmly. 
Y/N pulled away and showed her puffy red guys and wrangled hair. “You didn't hear her. You didn’t see her,” she argued. 
Natasha just pulled her into another hug, shaking her head. “I know,” she agreed. “But trust me, no one like us can ever hate their sister.” 
------------------------- 
“Y/N?!” 
That voice struck Y/N to her place, effectively ending the train of thought that had been stringing its way in her head. She knew the Avengers had won, she had seen Iron Man sacrifice himself with her own eyes, but this still didn’t feel real. Like a dream. And now it was. Her voice brought it all to light. 
Slowly, she turned around, and there she was met with the sight she had longed to see for the past five years. Yelena, standing in front of her, just as how she remembered her. The same clothes, the same hairstyle, everything. 
Y/N, not thinking, bounded into her arms with such a force that it knocked the blonde back. Nonetheless she regained her footing and steadied herself, wrapping an arm around her younger sister. Immediately, the memories whizzed back, all falling onto one another and mixing until she thought clearly. 
“Oh my god - Y/N. I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry for what I said. I take it all back. I - you must hate me. And you have every right to, I mean, I-”
Y/N pulled back and, to Yelena’s shock, wore a big smile. “I don’t hate you. No one like us can ever hate their sister,” she recited, thrilled to have Yelena back.

links and titles to 2022 works
[never have i ever] hold my spine, twist til it breaks (2,949 words, only about 700 of which were written this year) - wisdom teeth removal fic that i started in 2021 and randomly got the inspiration to finish when i read it again early in the year.

[never have i ever] ice breaker (1,977 words) - a tumblr prompt that was actually not cross-posted, just exclusively published on ao3 because it got out of hand. d/b college tour feat. nalini’s affection for ben gross
[cw’s nancy drew] hollering hollow folk know how to play (4,354 words) - here’s how masturbation could have solved everything!

[never have i ever] no voice to sing, nothing to bloom (1,571 words) - angsty 3.03 re-imagining
Favorite Fic: it’s the nancy drew texting fic, hands down. that one was joyful fun from start to finish and i’m kinda sad writing it didn’t last longer.
Hardest Fic: the as-yet-unpublished ‘a lie away from getting you into the mood’ (aka the second installment of the bitty spark ‘verse). i posted recently about how action is by far the hardest thing for me to write and be happy with, which is why i’m only halfway through this fic despite spending a solid third of my efforts this year chipping away at it.
i’ve started chapter four, like, five different times now it’s driving me up a wall.
Do You Plan to Take Prompts in 2023? i love prompt games as fun, low-stakes exercises so. yes. absolutely.
What was the best thing about 2022? the answer to this question is also ‘a lie away from getting you into the mood’. the fic is my friend, i take it with me everywhere (that is, i have the google docs app open on my phone literally all the time).
What was the worst thing about 2022? co-running a small business is demanding and often exhausting and i did not get to invest the time and energy into writing that i would have liked to.
Any last thoughts for 2022? one of my goals for the year was to write every day, and i accomplished that! didn’t miss a single day out of the year!
and, while it’s exciting for me to be able to say i did that, i will not attempt to do it again. there were definitely days i forced myself to write just to say that i did and it was clear my brain needed some guilt-free time away from any/all of my wips. so, going into 2023, i’ll be relieved to take those days when i need them.
Goals for 2023
finish either the ‘bitty spark’ fic OR devi the vampire slayer
continue keeping track of my daily writing
break 150,000 words (my goal for this past year was to make it to 200,000 and i simply did not have the time or energy so. we’re making the goal to write a little more than this year, but with reasonable expectations about my capacity)

third time watching hill house and i just noticed some things:
luke's "treehouse" wall has the number plates of all the important cars: the plate of the funeral home van that brings back nell's body, nell's car in la and steve's car and so on
the Tall Man came into Luke and Nell's room because he was "checking up on his kids after they fell asleep" and then he found the hat
the names of the actors show up in the start credits only when their respective statue shows up. like, carla, victoria and everyone has a specific statue when their name appears and that statue is linked to their characters
the Tall Man and Poppy Hill had met in a mental institution and Luke and Joey met in a rehab
When mom was sad, she made the sky hail, and what if one of the siblings had made it rain the day that lady's husband died in the ravine?
steve protests in the two storms episode that "why do i need protection from the truth" while he represents Denial that is technically a mechanism of protection from the truth
Nell sees Vance at the bottom of the staircase before she dies, just like Hugh sees Liv wake up from the dead as a ghost and walk away thinking it's all a dream. the bottom of the staircase, after all the spirals of life, might be where your loved ones stand, waiting for you

What I loved about this moment was not just Ace literally risking his life because he trusted Nancy and wanted to eventually bring justice...
But that Nancy stayed rooted to her place while everyone else jumped in various degrees of shock.
Like, "Oh shit this adorable himbo that I thought was tagging along with me... He actually trusts me? AND HE WOULD HAVE DIED IF THAT WAS POISON!"
Her widened eyes say it all.
Beyond horrified at what Ace did, she's also spellbound by his trust. She felt responsible for him in a new way. That guy would be stupid enough to run into a dilapidated poisoner-housing building to be with her. That guy would be stupid enough to drink poison because they might share the same drive for justice and facts.
For me, that's when Nancy actually knew she could trust him too.
Of course Maybe she liked him before that but this is when she knew.
SHE KNEW.
