Hope you're okay lucky! Love and miss you

hi gornack!! 🥹 i love and miss you too!!! 🫂 sorry i haven’t been around much, it’s been a little crazy lately. physically i’m fine, emotionally i’m frazzled, and mentally i’m drained. i’m at my sister’s house for a bit because our a/c died, which means i have a high energy 4 year old clinging to me 24/7. my car is in the shop and my mom just started chemo and i don’t know when i’ll be able to go home. i miss my cat. and my roommate i guess 😝 but things are calming down, so hopefully i’ll be around more soon! i can breathe now, just need to work on sleeping lol

18 and 23! Hit us with it!

I'm late hahaha 🫠

For 18, here's a section that I cut from "worthy." It ended up being a plot point a wanted to explore in a possible sequel...

The Beast cages Greg’s pudgy hand in his gnarled bark-plated fingers, slender as twigs and clawed like the talons of a bird; he presses something sharp and cold into Greg’s palm—Greg flinches—and then the Prince withdraws, holding his arms stiff to his sides. “Did I hurt you?”

For 23, the three key words I'd use to describe my writing:

. Descriptive. I love weaving imagery and challenging myself to incorporate different senses 😚

Humorous. A little zing or funny inner dialog work in comedic *and* serious pieces 😉

Engaging. I want readers to be just as invested in characters as I am.

Hi genius Ryen! I have so much to say and my notes make little sense at the moment so I’ll be back. But in the interim I’m here to say I did so much screaming and crying during this chapter. I can’t tell you enough how good this was. Literal perfection beginning to end. Please enjoy your break, you’re so deserving of one after everything you’ve done 💙😘

kay you're way to nice to me sdljlds thank you, babe! i get it 100% if the notes are all over the place bc yeah.. that's where my mind was while writing this beast of an update lol

screaming and crying with you!! if it was perfection to you then i'm happy. and the break hasn't really been a break, per se? there's been no real off days irl-wise other than yesterday (kinda.) but once this next big thing is done i think i'm gonna try taking a break fr :'))

My main issue with flannagan is that Shirley Jacksons work is all about the perils of the nuclear family etc

And to me flannigan was like fuck that family is great

It just goes info the heart of what Jackson was saying and shits on it for no reason?

He kinda made the story more conventional and I hate that

Whatever walked there walked alone is like. Theee core of the story and to be like fuck that is shitty

Jackson isn't some hugely outdated bigoted writer who's ideas need subverting and challenging (at least not in this story. Idk about the rest of her work)

Jackson novel was about how people who don't fit are vunerable a chewed up and spat out by institutions like romance and family

And it's like flannigan didn't get that. Or idk thought yay family was a more radical take

Idk i haven't seen the show recently so I may be misremembering but I feel like the majority of the criticism was that he didn't get / ignored the really interesting thing the book was doing.

I completely understand and respect those views.

I guess to me he did adapt it and made it his own and to me he wanted there to be hope in something that is supposed to be the end all be all of one's support. I HEAR you and yes, agree that the ideals weren't exactly what Jackson had in mind when writing the book and setting the tones and ideas. But for a creator who DID change it as much as he did, I personally feel that he did his best to take the subject matter into consideration, unlike other things I've seen where they just completely disregard certain aspects.

Like, as a quick example: Theo's sexuality. He stated himself that it was important to him and Kate (Theo) to open with her in the night club hooking up with a woman to immediately recognize that part of the character whereas the 1999 movie more or less skated over. In the novel, Theo is very much hinted at being a lesbian (because of course when the book was published, things were a lot different). My point being that while he lost some aspects while filming, he tried hard to make something good. Did he succeed? That's up for debate and that's totally fine. The thing with art is that people interpret it differently. There's the possibility that we're seeing exactly what he was thinking when reading it himself. I'm not saying your analysis is wrong and that he's right for missing the mark in any way, just that he interpreted it differently

There's also the perils of the filmmaking process as a whole in the rewrites and what Netflix wanted and how the writing process actually went. I know that when they started filming they didn't have everything written out. Maybe there were other writers or the production company making changes (I do know there were several scenes cut that he didn't want to get rid of), I don't know. All we have is the final product, that's all we get to see. We don't know what got pushed, saved and cut.

It's been a few years since I've read the book and even though I remember a lot about it, the human mind is fallible and maybe I'm on the other side of you where the show is more prevalent in my mind so I'll definitely need a reread and to reexamine the show, do a side by side comparison. But thank you for pointing all of that out, I can understand your plight with him in that sense.

[I do not have an english degree and it has been years since I was in college (even more since I was in the class where we actively discussed the book itself) so there's a lot that I may misspeak on as far as themes of the book, etc. ]

Let me say this to close: separating the show from the book, in my personal opinion, the show is one of the best I have ever seen and greatly appreciate his work on it. KNOWING he did not initially come up with the ideas for the story and that he had a fuloundation to build upon, I still think he did really well. He could've done worse and not worked as hard to preserve as much of the original story as he did. (I think I made the distinction in my original post but to reiterate: I think I'm okay with a lot of it because I feel like this is a fanfic he's made of Jackson's work )

Thank you for your honest opinion, I like hearing others and why they have certain views

[bumpintheroad]

As former mutuals, I check in every once in awhile to see how you’re doing. And while I don’t know everything going on, I still want to apologize on behalf of men. You might share some personal things but you keep location private for a reason.

Even though we’re no longer following each other, if you ever put out a call for help, I’ll be right there on the front line for you

that’s very kind of you to check in once in a while, i’m sorry we’re not mutuals anymore. do you know why? i think what’s frustrating is that i would even have to explain why i keep my location private, ya know? like if that anon even turned on the news one time they’d see just how much women are stalked and preyed on and just made to feel unsafe. and the internet is no different, especially with an added layer of anonymity to keep creepy people protected while they harass us

Do you have any hobbies you like sharing?

Thank you so much for asking!

I have a couple hobbies that I’d like to share!

First and foremost is my most obvious one: drawing and art. I’ve been developing my skills for around 9 years and it’s been my main tool of expression. I mostly draw people and characters and even make my own OC’s (now that I mention it I really need to post more art stuff on here)

Secondly, I love to cook! Ever since I could remember I’ve been helping out with my mom and family in the kitchen. I give full credit to my mom for this hobby because I found that mixing different ingredients and spices are more of a creative science in a way. Sure I’m not like Gordon Ramsey or anything; I’d consider myself more of a home cook

Finally, I’ve been sort of dipping my toes into writing again. There’s nothing finished just yet, but if I do make anything I’d be more than happy to post it on my blog!

That’s pretty much the main stuff I can think of.

Hi. So I’m just starting to get into AEW and oh my word, please give me the deets on Orange Cassidy. I’ve been watching YouTube videos of his matches all day.

He’s got me hooked.

Welcome!! It’s never too late to get OC fever!

He’s my favourite wrestler on AEW! I think his first international reign cemented him as a top star. To me & others tor sure already knew this but i saw a shift in people’s opinions of him toward the end of his reign. I love that for him! He was defending that championship OFTEN! People thought he was just this lazy guy who wrestles and puts his hands in his pockets. There’s also the element of mind games to it and he can go all out if he needs to! Especially when it came to the international championship… you could not pry the gold out of his hands if he can help it! Poor thing. His second reign just finished I know he’s so tired! 😭

As you can tell he is fun to watch!!! No one should ever deny the amazing wrestler he is. Sometimes he moves like a sloth then other times he’s fast like a cat. 🤣 Mind you the moves he manages to pull off with his hands in his pockets are no joke.

Also this isn’t relevant but it is to me. Notice how many times he reaches over to fix his hair. It’s like he has a spidey sense for it. ✨🤣

I would love to know what matches you’ve seen so far! Some of my favourites are;

Oc vs PAC Revolution 2020

OC vs Ospreay Forbidden Door 2022

OC vs Garcia vs ZSJ vs shibata forbidden door 2033

I think any of his matches toward the end of his first reign were really fun to watch. I remember being at the edge of my seat because any time he can lose the title! He looks physically beaten up and we all know he is exhausted. But he keeps accepting challenges! And he is fighting for his life.

His match against Swerve comes to mind. One against D Garcia where Danny is WORKING our poor man’s back. The one against Penta. Watch this promo at the end. 😭 There’s definitely more. I am listing what comes to mind quickly because I have to quit procrastinating an essay due tonight.

Feel free to message me so we can chat about this tired and incredible blondie. I love talking about him!

There’s definitely tons more to say. 🫡

[cissyenthusiast010155]

i sent u an ask a long time ago but u didnt answer it 😓😓😓

Hi hi anon…!

I do sincerely apologize about that ♥️ I promise, I haven’t forgotten about you!! I simply get so many asks, that it takes me a little while to get through them all… If you could dm me or send in another ask, explaining what your ask was so I can locate it, that would be greatly appreciated. I promise, we’ll figure this out, sweet anon. You are not forgotten 🥰

Talk with Me ❤️‍🔥

[corvidarcana]

If you have any questions about the war I can answer it for you cuz I’m from there so the information will be accurate

I hope you're staying safe!!! 😭

[pudgyem]

hey, different anon from the last, and hopefully one who’s gonna come off in a more sincere tone

cheaters more often than not will cheat again, to break that sorta trust shows a serious lack of regard. no, i don’t know about the details of your personal life, but i’ve seen a lot of people close to my own personal life get hurt by cheaters who trick their partners into thinking that they’re sorry, that they’ve changed, that they’ll do better or that it was a lapse of weakness— it’s hard to let those people who used to be so close to you go and it makes it easier to blindly trust them again. i’m not saying 1000% percent that he’ll do it again, but keep a closer eye on him so you don’t get hurt. all the best!

i appreciate you looking out for me!! i keep a very close eye on him and i wouldn’t have gotten back together with him if i didn’t see him making the changes he promised he’d make. infidelity has been a huge issue in my family so i completely understand the risks of him cheating again—because yes statistically he is more than likely to cheat again. i believe people really can change and also every relationship is different! there are different factors that go into our relationship and i’m not making excuses for him but i also understand now why he did it and why he’ll never do it again. i’ve been in therapy and so has he, and our relationship is so strong at the moment because of it! we’re both in our early 20s so it’s not the biggest deal in the world if it doesn’t work out, im rlly just here to have a good time !

[horseshoegirl]

WDWG so beautiful and mind blowing!! Pls pls pls think about picking it up after DTDT 🙏🙏🙏

Aww���🥰 Thank you, Anon! You just made my day!

It's actually doing a lot better than I thought it would! I do have another one lined up after DTDT called Hold Me Like a Fire, but there is a strong possibility I might make another one-shot to go with WDWG.

It's not the end of Bradley and Alyssa, though! DTDT will feature more of them.

(Seriously, thank you for being so kind!)

Hi! I have problems with English. I'm sorry if I sound weird. I am a member of the Russian metal family fandom. Recently I decided to register in rambler to see the guys from the foreign fandom. I was delighted to see you. It's like we already know each other. You are beautiful! I even wanted to talk to you. good luck to you and have a nice day!

Hi! I'm not entirely sure what to say, but I will try my best to respond. I assume that when you say rambler you mean this website we are on, which in English we call Tumblr. It's good to have you here and I am glad you are here to browse and share Metal Family content! It's a lot of fun! Good luck to you as well, and I hope you also have a good day!

I hope that this translates well, I tried to use proper grammar so it would make more sense :)

If you see a post of mine and you don't understand it, feel free to ask me and I can try to explain! Sometimes I use improper grammar, or spell words wrong on purpose, to be funny, and if you don't know much English you might not understand, and I want to be accessible to you too!
