with the release of somewhere beyond the sea, i thought i'd share my house in the cerulean sea playlist again :)

[they doze on the couch with tangled limbs and ruffled hair. the fire snaps and cracks and pops. outside, the cerulean sea is bright and endless, and if linus baker wasn't looking at arthur parnassus, he might say that sea was most beautiful thing he had ever seen. don't you wish you were here?]

[the---hermit]

Red currants I harvested the other day, and some recipe notes belonging to my great grandfather (not the recipe I tried today, but it was such a cool find I had to share it).

26|06|2023

My post exam resting continues, and I don't know how long it will last, but I am enjoying every moment of it. Today I started planning a trip I'll be going on with my parents this weekend. I really like planning these kind of things, and I'm really excited to go on this trip. I really hope my anxiety won't fuck it up for me, but I am trying to focusing on the positive things, and in the worse case scenarios I have my meds to help me. Today I also took some time to try a new recipe I have never done before with my own hands. It's a family recipe both my grandmas used to make, and judging from the smell I have a good feeling about what I have made with my first attempt. I'll only be able to judge in a couple of days, but my hopes are high. I also worked on a reading challenge update post that has been in my draft for months and that I will hopefully post soon. I was also thinking about making a specific post on what I read in the year so far, but I honestly don't know how to structure it yet (so if anyone has any ideas let me know, I might look for a tag or something). I wanted to work in my garden but by the time I finished cooking I was tired and today it was way too hot for me to do a good job, so I have postponed that to the next few days.

Productivity and self care:

read first thing in the morning

monthly therapy session

did the first big part of my travel planning

tried making a family recipe for the first time

listened to a feel good playlist

worked on a future post

Irish on duolingo (still just doing reviews of old stuff because my burned out brain cannot focus on new topics)

listened to the newest episode of the books unbound podcast

📖: The House In The Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune

🎵:25 by The Pretty Reckless

[schmedterlingfreud]

🌤️​ Day [12 of 100] of Productivity 🌤️​

Writing: "Effetto Luna" -- Chapter 17 is finally out! ⭐

Short chapter, short update. Short but sweet, I hope. This is the antechamber that precedes the real hot meal that I can't wait to sink my teeth into and to serve to you readers. But it was fun, anyway! I finally had the chance to rebuild and to "test" the physical and psychological tension that Luca and Alberto believe they have lost, but that perhaps can still be regained. In the meantime, I finished the second draft of ⭐Chapter 19, but I still have to copy it into the Word document, before my handwriting becomes incomprehensible even to me. I hope it will be a shorter work than I expect. I was almost hoping to start working on the chapters of ⭐"La cosa più pericolosa" again, even though I said I would only do it once I finished "Effetto Luna". I'll think about it. My summer vacation will arrive in a week, and soon I'll have more time to organize my work on the two long fic.

Reading: The House in the Cerulean Sea - T. J. Klune Listening to: Lofi Chill Playlists (Various) Snacking on: Greek Coffee Frappe Extra: Today my dad and my lil bro came to visit me, and we went together for breakfast -- I had my ginseng, like I always do, and a very flacky pain au chocolat. Not the greatest choice, but I have some chocolate at home because I am craving it sooo bad. Did some house chores, beside writing, but I still have to clean the bathroom. I'll do it tomorrow. Now… a full week of night shift, and then my vacation shall begin! I can't wait for it, because I'm exausted and I need to rest so desperately. I'm not going anywhere specifically… maybe I'll go hiking once or two. I miss my beloved mountains, even tho from my new home I can see the Dolomites very clearly every day. ⛰️​

Tag someone you want to get to know better.

Thanks for tagging me @bitbybitwrites ! ❤️

favorite color: no clue! I look particularly good in pink, white, navy blue so let's go with those!

last song: playing on my Spotify just now: Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper, which... yeah, I stand by it.

last movie: the last film I saw in a cinema was Red, White & Royal Blue at the London premiere. Actually, now that I think of it, I took my kids to the Super Mario Bros movie more recently, but that can't be my answer, so we'll stick with RWRB.

On the tv it was Love at First Sight on Netflix, which was alright.

currently watching: rewatching Sex Education before diving into season 4. Watching the current seasons of Taskmaster and Only Murders in the Building as they air so I don't get spoiled.

other stuff I watched this year: if I was a goldfish I wouldn't even be able to find my way around my fish bowl, by which I mean my memory sucks and I can barely remember what happened on a show from week to week. I watched Succession. Loved the second season of The White Lotus (I think that was this year 😬). Season 2 of Heartstopper. Strange New Worlds. Queen Charlotte. The Night Agent. Good Omens. Starstruck. Rewatched Schitt's Creek. I'm sure there's more

shows I dropped this year/didn't finish: I started on The Americans, forgot I was halfway through but I want to get back to it. Abbott Elementary I've been dipping in and out of when I need a v chill evening. Same for What We Do in the Shadows and somehow pretty much everything I like that's on Disney+ I keep forgetting to finish. Res Dogs, Grey's, Station 19, Fleishman is in Trouble. That's weird.

currently reading: I just finished The House in the Cerulean Sea 🥹 and now I'm reading Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit bc I like to alternate easier books with more challenging ones 😂

Oh, and fic wise, this weekend I started With so much of my heart (that none is left to protest) by @kiwiana-writes

currently listening to: my most highly in rotation playlist atm is a very poppy one filled with BSB and N'Sync and Britney and other bangers including Nobody Like U (from the film Turning Red) which is fucking excellent and will always be famous to me 😍. It's out of character for me, but it peps me up!

currently working on: a few attempts at expanding recent fics. My south of France fic. Something original that I'm hoping to really dive into come October, if the fic brain worms leave me alone.

current obsession: def still RWRB ❤️

Tagging @daisymae-12 @inexplicablymine @historicallysam @gwiazdziarka @letloverule1111 @kiwiana-writes @celaestis1 and if YOU too feel inclined to overshare on the dash why not do it and tag me so I can read it? 😁

summer writing/reading tag

Thanks for the tag, @writingmaidenwarrior!

Tagging in turn, with zero pressure: @cwritesfiction, @samfoxheartwrites, @bloodlessheirbyjacques, and @loopyhoopywrites.

1) Describe one creative WIP project you’re planning to work on over the summer.

I’m currently working on draft 2 of The Spirit Well, a cozy fantasy romance with higher stakes and pseudo-Regency vibes. Now that Emry, Cal, and Aspen have saved the day in The Stray Spirit, we follow the trio as they work to save a city of dying spirits...and as Emry navigates a social season to officially court Cal. 💕🌿💕

2) Recommend a book.

I recently read Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune, and while I don’t think it was as good as House on the Cerulean Sea, it did still make me cry like a baby at the end, so...

3) Recommend a fic.

Alas, I haven’t read fic in years.

4) Recommend music.

I recently added “Would That I” by Hozier to my Spirit Well writing playlist!

[wildergrimm]

Tagged by @kingofbackpain for a "get to know you" ^_^

Last song I listened to: Mistress by Ayla Ray, was on a character playlist kick and it makes me lose my mind. Also prev that's incredible I wish my phone did that

Currently Reading: I'm a little in between books rn but I just started The House in the Cerulean Sea bc my mom's been telling me to read it for years :b

Currently Watching: Dungeon Meshi, Game Changer, Make Some Noise, Monk (prev I still need to watch Succession.....)

Current Interests: The Stanley Parable and The Beginner's Guide have fundamentally changed me as a person . Also been getting really into ska :) I still love fighting games but since my hands have kind of gotten fucked they've been on the backburner for me. Roguelike deckbuilders and TF2 have also been living in my head

Tagging @starocide @smellpelt @succulentsandtoebeans @arden-in-the-garden :3 no presh and anyone else who wants to should!!

[adjit]

tag nine (9) people you’d like to know better

Tagged by @misspickman thank you!!

Last song: When I first saw the tag post it was “I wanna know what love is” by Foreigner (shoutout to my baby boy Nova <3 it was on his playlist), but between seeing the tag and actually making this post I did watch that Bad Apple r/place video so technically it’s Bad Apple. I just felt that was too obvious.

Currently watching: Ummm… things I’m in the middle of… My Adventures With Superman. Gotham, technically (we dropped off somewhere in season 2 like a year ago), and also CW Supergirl, technically (I’m only about 4 episodes in and it’s been months).

And then my anime Tuesday watch party rotates through a whole list of them so I am in the middle of uh… Komi Can’t Communicate, To Your Eternity, Bocchi the Rock, Kaguya-sama Love Is War, Natsume Yuujinchou, Witch From Mercury, and Blood Blockade Battlefront.

Also Miraculous Ladybug. Back to watching that just bc I was too happy I guess and needed something to scream about.

Currently reading: I just finished both This Is How You Lose The Time War and The House in the Cerulean Sea (I liked both, would recommend) but haven’t picked up anything new on the novel front, though next up is These Are Not The Trinity Papers. Because it's sitting on my desk now so I guess it's next.

Comics front I’m still working my way through Young Justice ‘98 and Tim’s Robin run, plus currently keeping up with Poison Ivy, City Boy, Spirit World, Green Arrow, and Batman and Detective Comics. And SMOT. And actually haven't read the last TDR, which I was keeping up with (do not recommend, unless you're like me and just want to look at pretty pictures of Tim; it's not bad per se just so deeply middling). I’ve gotten a couple months behind because I’ve been busy with new job and travel and friends… OH ALSO I did just pick up Batman/Superman World's Finest Vol 1. from the library, so that's also On The List (the list is so god damn long).

Current obsession: DC for sure, for better or for worse. I’m sure you couldn’t tell from my other answers on this. (I didn’t even mention the DC video games I’ve been playing...)

Tagging… @milfkon @loisinherlane @domokunrainbowkinz @lesbitchin if y’all wanna do it

Currently watching: Sweet Tooth! It's really cute I would die for Gus

Cyrrently reading: Arc of a Scythe. Mixed feelings about how it's written but it's fun and I love Rowan very much he's my sopping wet pathetic little meow meow. Im also rereading the Burning Maze for the 50th time so thats why you'll probably see a lot of delirious ramblings about it from me. Sorry.

Currently listening: hoo boy there's a lot uhhh... Hadestown soundtrack, soccer mommy, the mountain goats, annapantsu, MARINA, no doubt, the frickimnn... Tangled rhe series soundtrack which funnily enough I've never actually seen the music just slaps. The beetlejuice musical soundtrack. Alanis morissette and the Muppets. I have. An interesting playlist <3

Currwnt obsession: TPN + the house in the cerulean sea which i just read and it's occupying way too much of my brainspace

Tag game!

Thanks for the tag, @late-to-the-magnus-archives!

Currently reading: Scattered Showers by Rainbow Rowell and The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune

Favourite colour: Purple, all shades of it!

Last Song: I am absolutely stuck on "Soldier, Poet, King" and Everything on this Playlist, which is the one I made to accompany the novel I'm querying.

Last Movie: Comfort rewatch of The Young Victoria.

Sweet/spicy/savoury: Spicy, not so much. But I do love fruit flavors and a really good savory cheese/rosemary bread.

Currently working on:

Querying a chonky romantasy novel about a bi-disaster barista and the cute homo draconis who has a secret crush on him, and how thier love tears down the British Empire.

One more chapter for the Keepsakes section of the Hob Adherent series, which is proving to be the angstiest of them all.

The final story of the Hob Adherent series, which is also proving difficult as I'm still coming to grips with Desire's characterization in my own voice.

Awaiting the editing letter for my just-announced novel Time and Tide.

Tag 9 people you want to get to know better

Thanks @andordean and @ruiniel for the tag <3

Three ships: I'm gonna have to do a sub-category of ships because I like so many ships. Three ships that currently rule my mind with their creative possibilities: Yen/Emhyr, Melkor/Feanor, Eredin&Avallach (with a pinch of Eredin/Avallach)

Last song: that Shakira diss track about her ex. 100% would put on my wedding playlist; you know, let them know who you are the moment you walk in the room. (I also really really love Temper Trap and Sweet Disposition is a perennial favorite. Any interested parties should check out the youngr bootleg).

Last movie: Frances Ha

Currently reading: House on the Cerulean Sea and a couple fanfics

Currently watching: old, old, old seasons of Drag Race

Currently consuming: black tea

Currently craving: man I don't think it gets better than a Friday night before a no-obligations weekend

Tagged by @firstaudrina ! 💛

3 ships god i have way more than 3 but off the top of my head i guess:

Dream of the Endless/Hob Gadling (current main)

Dirk Gently/Todd Brotzman (fondly revisiting)

Nigel/Alex (absolute messy evil trashfire I speak about with One other person)

1st Ever Ship:

Like honestly, probably a self insert thing of me + one of the book characters or anthropomorphic cartoon animals I liked. Me and Robin Hood probably. Me and David Rain from that series with the clay dragons. Me and Flynn from obscure CGI animated kid's series Insektors. I think before I discovered The Internet I wasn't consciously aware of shipping characters who weren't together in canon -- I'm sure I DID on occasion, but it defo registered less before I started fanficcing and freaking out with other people about it.

Last Song:

Brown of Gold by The Altogether. If I'd answered this earlier it would have undoubtedly been something emo from the Dream playlist lmao.

Currently Reading:

Vagabonds! by Eloghosa Osunde. I'm actually having a good time for reading rn, hasn't been the case for a few years. I also just finished Under the Whispering Door, and Cemetary Boys, and the Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue. I'm bouncing back and forth between stuff aimed at adults and stuff aimed at teens, sometimes when my attention is bad or I'm really sad teen stuff is just easier to latch onto/more likely to have happy-ish endings. Defo finding it easier to get through books when i know there's queerness afoot. Vagabonds! is the most difficult one I've sunk my teeth into lately, it's very good but I'm getting through it a little at a time, interspersed with a re-read of ultimate gay comfort book the House in the Cerulean Sea.

Last Movie:

I don't think I've actually watched a movie since new year's eve, so um. Titanic. Which the three of us unanimously decided to watch at new year for some reason.

Currently Consuming:

Nothing, I am HONGRY. Will go down and forage something soon I imagine, I'm keeping myself well fed enough but not deriving much pleasure from it atm. Sadly I need to cut down my salt intake a bit (nothing diet fad-y, just sincere concerns about my blood pressure lmao), and salty foods are the only ones I sincerely enjoy so bleh.

Currently Watching:

Struggling to get into new shows atm, for the first time in ages I'm actually a bit more interested in reading! I have a couple of eps of Cabinet of Curiosities left. And I'm rewatching OFMD with the family, DGHDA with a friend, and Shadow and Bone in preparation for season 2.

Currently craving:

For my brain to happily focus on something a bit and quit it with this restless 'there's other stuff you could be doing' feeling? That and a packet of crisps.

Tagging:

@kieren-fucking-walker @backatthebein @evilphrog @girl-bateman @ilikedthewayhegaveback if ya wanna do it

[davidbowielovesyou]

I was tagged by @homo-ousios​ 💖 aww thank you!!  Three ships: The three ships that drove me to fanfiction were Johnlock, Crowley & Aziraphale, and Linus Baker & Arthur Parnassus from The House in the Cerulean Sea. 💖

Last song: Probably something from my Morning playlist, which is music that is calming, instrumental, and upbeat at the same time. It’s mostly Ulrich Schnauss and Tycho. I listen to it often when I need to focus, get moving but I’m too stressed to hear words, or when driving someone somewhere and we need calming music. (A lot of calming, instrumental music is also sad, which I find very annoying.)

Last movie: I think it was Moonage Daydream actually! Gah so good. 💖 Went to a play last night (The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window) and I didn’t like it. It made me grumpy.

Currently reading: I guess I’m reading The House in the Cerulean Sea again because I’m trying to figure out the layouts of the main house, guest house, and yard.  XD

Currently watching: I hardly ever watch anything. Mostly I put on Animal Crossing videos on YouTube when I’m giving fluids to my old cat. 

Currently consuming: a Factor meal. I’m having dinner at... 11:15 p.m. apparently. I usually eat at 7. My cat is also trying to eat my dinner.

Currently craving: Chocolate cake. I don’t even like chocolate cake very much (not chocolatey enough), but there’s a Food & Wine magazine in front of me that mysteriously started being delivered to my house once a month and the cake on the cover is making my mouth water. You know, I’ll take chocolate anything right now.
