August Prompts Day 31 Street Address
It doesn’t matter if it is on
Main Street
High Street
Or
Across town
We know it is going to be
Spectacular
For He is preparing it for us
One day soon
He will carry us home
Our new street address
Will be forever
Better yet
It will be eternally with Him.

For the au ask game! Sabezra in a *flips through my au ideas list* private detectives au
so. yeah. this. this is egregiously late. But it's HERE! At long last!
....to be entirely honest I don't even know what this is. it's sabezra. they're private detectives. let's just leave it at that.
---
"Ezra, what are you doing?"
Her partner in preventing crime (and occasional partner in actual crime---they may or may not have broken into a house once; no one could prove anything) had stopped in the middle of the grim alleyway, staring at nothing in particular.
"Sabine..." he said slowly. "I think this is where I met you."
Sabine did a double-take, looking around with keen eyes. The place didn't seem familiar, but she'd been so distracted on that day, she probably wouldn't know it if she was there.
"Is it?" she asked, strolling back to him, hiking up her long skirt and stepping cautiously around the filth on the ground. "You think so?"
"Mm-hm." A nostalgic smile twitched at the corner of his mouth. "You know, I've still got the handkerchief you gave me."
Sabine grinned at him. "Of course you do. You were in the throes of violent yearning. You couldn't bear to part with it."
"And my nose was still bleeding."
"That too."
"And if you recall, I did try to give it back to you---later." His smile grew proud. "Tracked you down with just your monogram and a glimpse at your face. First bit of detecting I ever did."
Sabine slipped her arm through his, hopping lightly over something that could have been a filthy rag or maybe the carcass of a large rat, as they continued on their trek towards home. The streets cleared up when they got to the main roads, but there was still the inevitable splash of mud.
Mud was everywhere in London.
"I thought you might have been a princess when I saw you on the stairs then," he blurted out, and she tilted her head up to look at him from beneath the brim of her large flowered hat. He gave her a sweetly bashful smile and a shrug. "With those big white puffs in your hair---"
"Ostrich feathers," she filled in automatically, turning her attention back to the pavement and nodding politely to a gentleman and lady who passed by them.
"---and that white dress, too." Ezra laughed to himself. "Golly, you're lucky you kept it. Your old lady wasn't gonna give you a nickel for another one."
Sabine squeezed his arm affectionately. "I could have worn any dress."
"Well, no one would have thought it was a proper wedding if we hadn't got you in white."
"No one thought it was a proper wedding when we did," she retorted. "They thought I was degrading myself."
"Then the joke is on them, because I hit the big time pretty well, didn't I?"
Sabine arched an eyebrow. "You wouldn't have amounted to anything if I hadn't got us into the illustrated papers."
Ezra paused on the pavement as they reached the steps of their lodgings, looking thoughtful.
"You're right. I wouldn't have."
"Then it seems you're lucky you've got me."
He looked right into her eyes and grinned boyishly, slipping into his most intolerably trans-Atlantic accent. "We do make a pretty bang-up team, don't we?"
"A jolly good one," she nodded in prim agreement, adopting an obnoxiously posh tone, and they both giggled, smiling at each other for a moment more before a distant clock chimed the quarter of the hour, reminding them that they were on a schedule.
"Well, I suppose we had best go on in. Our client will be here any minute now."
"I guess so."
And with that, the unstoppable team of Bridger and Bridger ascended the steps of their home at 221b Spectre Street, arm-in-arm.
#hrrrgrhrhgh I have so much backstory and lore for them in this au that doesn't all fit in a snippet like this#needless to say I most likely will have to write a LOT more of this AU because I am overflowing with ideas#221b spectre street au#sabezra#ficlet#I started so many snippets for this before I actually came up with one that worked#I wrote a snippet where they met for the first time#I wrote a snippet where they were having breakfast together and teasing each other about their respective accents#I wrote TWO snippets where they reunite after he fakes his death for three years (one from each pov)#I wrote a snippet where they were just sitting around pining after each other#and they're not even doing any detecting in the one that I did finish so RIP to me I guess#but I really do like how this one turned out in the end!#oh yeah in case it's not clear (which it may not have been because I am often bad at being clear) this is a Sherlock-Holmes-inspired-AU#thus the 221b spectre street address!#except. like. also Frances Hodgson Burnett influenced. mostly in that Ezra is American and occasionally slangy in the style of G. Selden#which is still fitting though because the shuttle and sherlock holmes happen concurrently!#but I digress

I want to love and support postal service workers during this stressful time. And I do. However it's hard when they do some things
#yesterday there was a package on my porch for someone who lives fully a block away on a different street#i have something coming that was marked ''out for delivery'' Saturday and is now marked ''at fedex facility''. hm#also i think this would be easier if my mailman were reliable most of the time but he's not#he can't be bothered to turn his head and look at our house to see if we have mail to go out#so sometimes it just sits there for days if he doesn't have to come up to the porch#and he just refuses to take away not at this address mail. leaves it there.#oh well. i bought so many stamps this week!#and you know who i DO appreciate. the lovely man at the small town post office who always apologizes#once for someone being mildly rude to him in front of me and once just for a minor wait. in december! he's so nice

1812: A sailor takes a routine trip to London, unaware that this would be the last time he'd ever see Flanders. Many lasts were soon to follow.
1861: A boy proudly joins on with the Royal Navy, signing his new name for the very first time. This is a first of many ill-advised decisions.
I can lie and say that the last ES has me thinking about what my characters looked like back on the surface, but it's actually because of a WIP sent to me by an artist I will not name.
#my art#ockham#roberts/nite#i always forget that roberts was 13 when he had that whole ship ordeal#or rather i forgot what kids actually look like#and now i feel absolutely terrible about it#he should be skipping down the street with a minecraft backpack#not experiencing The Horrors#and i've decided that surface!ockham probably used he/him#the same one probably still does so but he's in absolutely no state at the moment to communicate his preferences#irrespective of the parabolan reflection#who's got a 'yes' situation going on#but has bigger things to worry about than people's chosen form of address#unnamed artist you know who you are#and if you’re reading this I’m still incredibly unwell about your [redacted] drawing#ockham ref#roberts

you know what, I actually will talk about this because it's bothering me. The issue with focussing so heavily on syd and carmy's potential for a romantic relationship isn't that there's something inherently unintellectual about romance or whatever, it's that a lot of people seem incapable of doing that without immediately flattening the story and ignoring or intentionally misreading any and all nuance for the sake of that romance. Every scene suddenly becomes about how it impacts their relationship, every analysis is done through a romantic lens, every frame or line of dialogue becomes about finding some easter egg or hint that "proves" these people should start dating. Their dynamic is absolutely a fundamental part of this show, but if you can only see it as a will-they-won't-they, you miss so much of what the story is actually trying to say with these two.
There are good versions of this story where their relationship is romantic and there are good versions of this story where it isn't, but as soon as you decide them being together is "the point," you lose the ability to actually judge the story for what it is, not what you want it to be.
#like so much of their dynamic (esp but not exclusively in S3) has been about showing the ways that carmy's trauma and dysfunctional#attitude in the kitchen impacts other people and how even though he cares about syd and wants their partnership to work he keeps self#sabotaging and setting himself and by extension her and the restaurant up to fail and replicating the same toxic environments that#he grew up and trained in and this is very much consistent with his character and a natural continuation of the conflicts they've been#having since S1 but because him being shitty with her runs contrary to them getting together suddenly its 'ruining the story' and#out of character and only happening bc the writers just hate to see this ship winning and like. if you really think that i genuinely don't#know what show you've been watching bc it sure as shit wasn't this one. like it hurts to see him do this because you know#they could do something genuinely great together and that he's ruining a really good thing but this is also the reality of where he is rn#if he was just a good and supporting business partner and not deeply dysfunctional it would be wildly out of character#the problem w S3 wasn't that it 'ruined' their relationship it's that it had no clear focus overemphasized carmy's arc at the expense#of the other leads deprioritized the supporting cast while failing to give them their own arcs gave more screen time to#unecessary and uninteresting new 'comic relief' characters and let conflicts stagnate without resolving them or#letting them evolve over the course of the season.#this isn't exclusive to the bear this is a general trend ive noticed where as soon as the 'shipper' part of people's brains get activated#it's like they lose the ability to read the story any other way and it stops being about what's good for the narrative and starts being#about whether or not these two people kiss and anything that gets in the way of that is bad and anything that brings it closer is good#and it's usually whatever but it's really frustrating when the story ppl are doing that to is this good#it also makes people fundamentally incapable of treating any 'obstacle' to that romance in a way that isn't wildly meanspirited and#gross (esp bc those characters are usually women) which is exhausting. like no claire isn't evil or a 'pick me' or 'bad' for carmy#or a useless addition to the story or whatever other nonsense you guys have decided must be true to feel okay. she's a perfectly normal#character and their relationship is exploring some of the ways that carmy's inability to deal with or actually address his trauma#impacts the various relationships in his life. she doesn't even have to be a monster or a narrative mistake for him and syd to be#'destined' for each other or whatever. this isn't a middle school wattpad fic.#im definitely gonna get killed in the street for this but ive been looking for a good reason to spend less time on here so might as well#the bear#sydcarmy#sydney adamu#carmy berzatto

NaNo 2024: Victory!!
Hello, world, here's my tidied desk in the aftermath of FINISHING ANOTHER BOOK!!! It took me EXACTLY four (4) pens this year (I was literally writing my wrap-up stats in the back of the notebook when the in on the last one started to go!), on 82 pages across two (2) notebooks, and preliminary* word count is 71,541!! (*subject to change once typed--I count by hand and tweak as I type haha.)
Also featuring: the NaNo Earrings, Volumes 2 and 3 of the Bitch Journal (where I whine about writerly things and also Reflect On My Process--I learned very much this year and got a lot of dopamine from it!!), the tiny watch that kept me company in my tertiary writing space, the earplugs that made working at home Tolerable (mostly), and some of the frantic scribbles on scrap paper (I got a LOT of mileage out of a dead receipt that Panera misprinted for me lol).
Now, onward to TYPING!! I would love for this not to take most of December, so I'll probably have more Unhinged Goals About That (I don't know why I am the way that I am), but! The hard part is done!!
#nano2024#hh#writing#i already don't love the title i wrote at the top of the manuscript by the way lol#i might just call it 'the wintergreen house'#instead of a street address#it doesn't need a street address because of where it is#i just also like how 'seventeen wintergreen' sounds so....unclear lol#and anyway listen the half a space lichen doesn't really vibe with names humans can pronounce anyway#so they end the book not sure what to call it#or how to refer to it#which is fair because how would YOU try to pronounce a constellation of flashing lights and weird almost-smells??#exactly. good luck lol#ANYWAY I HAD SO MUCH FUN I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT MY PROCESS (i have tag rambled about this elsewhere i won't do it again lol)#100/10 recommend doing a Journal Thing if you have a creative process btw#to hack your way around said creative process#The Bitch Journal has been THE biggest game changer for me in writer land lately#it started out like the top one says 'mostly just whining' but it's wild how easily that slides into Reflection and Figuring Yourself OutLO#if i ever taught writing this is the only kind of journal i would implement#i had a professor who wanted us to do Idea Journals which fine cool observation things#but GOSH this one was SO MUCH MORE HELPFUL TO ME#and really framing it as whining was SO good#because you get all the gunk out and then words can GO#anyway. everyone needs a Bitch Journal i think#be a bitch do your bitching etc#nano#the Void already started coming for me last night btw#IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THE POST PROJECT CRASH LEAF ME ALONE!!!!

do you have any sweet Steven headcanon??
I have many MANY Steven headcanons.
Steven likes to read out loud to Layla. Stories or news articles or just little things he finds interesting. He always reads with great emphasis. He gives characters unique voices and reads with emotion.
Marc pretends to think it's stupid but secretly loves it. Jake is always quietly listening in the back and Steven thinks maybe Jake is annoyed by it, but when he stops, Jake is always the first to tell him to keep going.
This comes from Steven's love of sharing his interests (info dumping to an extreme). He could be explaining how tape is made and it would sound like the most interesting thing in the world.
Another one? Steven has no idea why stray animals follow him around. Dogs and cats and even crows will leave him trinkets or yell at him if he rushes past without saying hello.
He eventually figures out that Marc has been petting the dogs and Jake has been feeding the crows. The cats just come to them naturally. Steven addresses all animals as if he were talking to a proper lady or gent. "Well hello my fine feathered friend. You're looking very preened today." Or "Ah yes, Mr. Fluff. What a lovely tail you have there. Bet all the lady cats are lining up for a chat with you, huh?" "Oh what a brave little barker you are. Got something more to say? Oh yeah? Tell me all about it. What a good barker you are."
#I have more than I could ever possibly share#Ask away#Talk to me about Moon Knight#Jake talks to the animals like a Mafia boss ordering around his soldiers#except for that one cat down the street who is clearly head hancho and Is addressed only as “Sir”#Marc just lays down on the ground and the animals come to sit next to him#Steven once woke up covered in squirrels and had to give everyone a chat about feeding wildlife rules

just had to submit a ticket to IT (new email filter hates one specific listserv SO much but instead of just dumping all the messages in spam it is putting each individual one in "quarantine" which i must then go into and "release." one by one. daily.) and had to write the word "november" and just dropped the whole middle of the word. yes hello my email last functioned in a non-irritating way on nober 20th. pleas hlp.
#it's a GOOD listserv i LIKE it#i emailed it as soon as i noticed it and they ignored me#emailed again today and somebody responded telling me that it wasn't their problem and i had to email somebody else entirely#AND they addressed me by my birth name instead of chosen which is the name that i have all over my professional contact info#andy from it if we meet in the street i will kick u :)#evelyn carnahan cosplay career

my mom found some old postcards that are now almost 100 years old... unfortunately we can't read them bc every letter just looks like squiggles.
#the address is written in a super pretty legible way#as is 'dear Ferdinand' and the date#everything else? ~~~~#doddie redet#well. 'address'. it says 'Family [name] in [town]'#and there's a postal stamp on it that says 'please don't forget to put the street and house number!'

it may seem pathetic that gill and the entire illuminati were defeated by alex, until you realize that in Street Fighter, there is a high chance that that white blond guy from new york you met at the gas station is actually one of the strongest people in the world.
alex doesn’t need prior training. he doesn’t need a long-running history of complex emotional and mental turmoil. in street fighter, if you are a blond guy from new york and you are Really Mad, then you can do anything.
#ofc i’m referencing cody ken nash (im guessing) luke and ofc alex#guile is too midwestern#mr president’s state of the union address#street fighter
