Because you seem in the know: there's a new Trigun?????

(is it any good? I loved the original)

Aha, I'm less in the know than you think!! But I can assure you there IS a new trigun, trigun stampede, a reboot which seems to have different takes on some of the characters and themes!! I've not seen it yet and don't plan to for a while (I'm trying very hard to be kind to my brain and at least let the og settle in my head as I read the manga), but what I've heard sounds super cool!!

By comparison, there was nothing that could be done when Viktor met his wide eyed expression without a hint of shame. But then, from the very start of their acquaintance, that had always been when Jayce had considered his partner to be at his most beautiful.

Hello I am dropping by to tell you that my favourite colour is a very deep red but also I love any flowers and would love a photo <3

oh excellent, i'm pretty sure i can find something in your colo(u)r. 💓

first is maybe a bit goth but fuck it, i kind of love things when they start to go, too.

[ID: dried cut roses in a vase in various colors. a dark red bloom is in the foreground. End ID.]

[ID: close-up of a variety of cut flowers in various shades of red, pink, and orange, including zinnias, yarrow, and strawflower. End ID.]

finally these are a bit of a brighter shade, but they're rather nice, i think.

[ID: red california poppies in bloom. End ID.]

hope you enjoy, friend, and have a lovely day. :)

For the book asks! 9 - Did you get into any new genres? 4 - Did you discover any new authors that you love this year? 23 - What’s the fastest time it took you to read a book?

4. Did you discover any new authors that you love this year?

yes, akwaeke emezi!! really enjoyed bitter and looking forward to pet. (both recced by a dear friend.)

9. Did you get into any new genres?

i read invincible by amy lawrence (thanks @gendercents for the rec iirc??) which is a sports reporting book! i'm always trying to read a very broad range of genres so i don't get bored.

23. What's the fastest time it took you to read a book?

hmm, without actually going through my libby stats book by book, probably gender queer by maia kobabe? it's a graphic novel so i'm not sure it counts for speed, but i distinctly remember borrowing the ebook, immediately opening it, and reading the entire thing at my desk in like an hour.

end of year book asks!

For the disability pride asks <3<3

7) what's a struggle you wish more people talked about?

15) what does disability pride mean to you?

16) free space to talk about whatever disability issue or experience you want !

7 - I think I wish more people talked about dealing with disabilities and the diagnostic process without a support system (especially family). a lot of online creators especially on youtube either don't talk about that or their experience is/was having a support system they could fall back on when doctors were being shitty. also known as just being doctors. which as a young teenager being told I was "just stressed" when I actually have an autoimmune disease attacking my brain and More.... it could have been really meaningful to have Something that explained like. you are not Wrong. the people around you just fucking suck.

15 - for me disability pride is a lot about working towards being proud of myself even if/when I can't live up to the expectations of people who don't understand? I find I less want to promote awareness and more want to work on actually. being able to like and be proud of myself as I am with my disabilities and limitations.

16 - this is the question that made this take so long because I wanted to Find the post I am thinking of and make sure I was Correct. there was this post that crossed my dash a while ago that was like. drawing of Twitter discourse as an ouroboros. and then following that was the same thing but with the twitter bird logo. and the person who did the image description (as they were *not* on the original posts) described them as emojis rather than drawings/art/whatever. and it didn't like Start anything but a couple comments were made like "this is art drawn by [person] actually". which prompted Someone to add in the tags a comment which amounted to "do you not know people draw emojis". so the original poster responds that yes of course emojis have artists. these are not Technically emojis. so they said it because they Know who drew it, it was their friend who was not credited in the description...

so all of that to say. i don't think there was anything Wrong with that though im a little...on the fence...about people directly responding to/interacting with image descriptions.

but when it is the creator of the post! if you have corrections just. add the description with your changes to the original post. but also just. the comment of "this artist was not credited in the description" just kind of stood out as many people just generally are not very aware of the purpose of image descriptions. most people know they exist and are an accessibility tool for blind people but. if the artist signature isn't in the image. why would it be in the description. the same goes for IDs that are in small text, or only in alt text, stuff like that. which I don't often bring up to anyone online because it is. so frustrating to me. I lost a majority of my sight in about a year and a half which is a very short time so the frustration is probably amplified by that, too. but I Really wish more people would actually take the time to figure it out themselves.

also on that same topic. if you are not the original poster and you are making an image description. please Don't add comments before/after the ID. do that in a separate reblog.

anyways. that was a lot more than probably asked for...but now I am done.

If you enjoyed this excerpt and you haven't read the OFMD Remington Steele AU stories Trag has already posted, you are missing out my friend.

I would loooove to know more about "remington steele au - hypothermia - and you won't give me a straight answer." You know how much I adore your Remington Steele AU <3

Ohhh hey buddy!!!! Yes!!!

Okay so the next few installments of the Remington Steele AU will actually have like, the barest amount of plot that isn't smut haha. This one is centered around Jim and Ed on a case somewhere in winter, and during a chase scene Jim goes through a frozen pond. Classic hypothermia h/c fic, but there will also probably be some smut and a lot of refusal to talk about their relationship even though Ed tries. (Does Jim even notice Ed calling them a pet name in the snippet below? No :3) I don't have a lot of it written yet, but I have Ideas!

Anyway here's a snippet for you!! (Featuring bad hypothermia care, it's fic set in the 80s, its fine lol)

If anyone feels like dropping me an ask for the WIP folder game, my long list of WIP titles is here!

--

When he lowers them into the water it feels like they've been dipped in molten lava. It washes over them, enveloping them in warmth. Jim wants to start crying it feels so fucking good. Edward slips into the tub behind them, drawing Jim back until they're resting against him. His chest is warm at their back, and his arms around their waist feels even better than the lukewarm water.

"Fuck." Their voice comes out strangled and tight. Something hot streams down their face.

Lips press against their cheek. He holds them tight as they start shaking harder, body warming enough to try and regulate itself. "I know. It's a lot."

"Who fuckin' decided - to come up North for a case - in, in fuckin' winter." Jim squeezes their eyes shut and holds on tight to his arms. They let themself sink deeper into the water, letting the warmth leech into their bones. "Maldito idiotas."

Edward barks a laugh. "Hey, we were doing fine until you tried your hand at the ice."

Jim lets their head loll back against his shoulder and closes their eyes. They're still crying, a silent stream of tears. "Nearly won."

"No, love. You didn't." He exhales a shuddering breath, arms and legs around them squeezing tight like that'll keep them close to him. "God, Jimbo. I was so fucking scared."

They can feel it. And if they let themself, crack their ribcage open and let any shred of emotion come out - they'll know that they were scared, too.

"S'okay," they slur. They reach up and clumsily pat his face with one hand. "Takes a lot more than cold water to kill me."

A cold nose presses just behind their ear. "... I sure hope so."

Here's my second art for @garlicsoupweek!! Tiny Jim and Oluwande, giving flowers for "Acts of Service"!!

@thetragicallynerdy wrote a whole tiny fic called "no adventures too small" featuring mice-sized Jim/Olu about this, go give it a read!!

[ID copied from alt text: A digital drawing of Jim and Oluwande done in a cartoon style. They both wear their season 1 outfits. Jim holds out a massive purple flower that is almost bigger than they are to Oluwande, who holds out a hand to take it and blushes. Jim and Oluwande stand on sandy ground, with grass and flowers that are 3 times taller than they are in the background. The artist's signature reads @ watercolour critters. End ID.]

hello hello!! for the fic writer asks :) 🎀give yourself a compliment about your own writing

🪄what is your post-writing/sharing aftercare? How do you take care of yourself or celebrate yourself when you've finished a fic?

🎀

Damn, but if this doesn't feel like the hardest of ones to answer, being stuck in the middle of one of my worst writing slumps. Um...I like that I try to encourage myself to try challenging things rather than staying in a comfortable spot?

👑 

Honestly, I'm such a night owl that, sometimes, the reward is to turn in for bed at long last. But, other times, it's closing out all the tabs I'd had open for research (always a joy, I swear!) and then heading off to play whatever video game I told myself I couldn't (or shouldn't) until finishing the project.

Does any of this surprise you?

Not in the least. Well maybe Sam Winchester because proportionally I haven't written about him nearly as much as some others, but I think when I was writing Hobbit, I didn't always use character tags. Our Flag stormed my tags and is unlikely to ever be overtaken again because I was writing so many individual stories in a longer series.
