#those good lies

[janus-stanus]

pretty much every time someone leaves a new comment on those good lies, i treat myself with a re-read of it. and while i'm at the point now where i think i've written stronger prose than it (see this short story on my main) — and honestly i'm glad to be able to say that — it does still bring me so much joy to go back to my version of those boys. like meeting back up with old friends (i imagine).

and, of course, it's always lovely to see that other people are still finding and getting something out of what might likely be my magnum opus in this fandom (dependent on whether i get super inspired by future episodes / developments).

...while i'm here, i'll also say this:

during a writing workshop i did this summer, i came up with a novel idea. and one of the two main characters for that story was conceived as an OC version of (my interpretation of) jan.

and, let me tell you, writing from their perspective was just as fun as writing that fic (at the best points of the process), if not more so. i'm so excited to get to a point where i can dive back into the story idea (nanowrimo, perhaps?) and fully flesh them out.

if that's something you'd be interested in getting updates on, i'll prob be posting them to my main (linked above) if anywhere. if not, then i'll see y'all when next a tss thing gets my brain going :)

Any criticisms of the first post is hardly in bad faith when it is phrased like an advertisement. If Medrano simply wanted to voice her human support for individuals who feel hopeless as a person, of course there would be some bad faith pushback. But this post isn't a call of solidarity, it's advertising. Specifically an advertisement for closeted young people who don't have support.

Don't bring up your professional work if you are seeking to make a personal statement. Don't advertise your works in this way if you're seeking to make a human connection. Especially when your show blatantly ignores power dynamics and fails to actually confront those themes. You telling us what your show is about is you trying to sell it on unsuspecting viewers who don't actually know what your show is.

This is just false advertising.

I know. It's not the case but y'all I am cackling at the thought that the real reason Grant told Sparrow that their kids could no longer see each other was because of the messages Normal sent Lincoln about his feet I fucking can't I-

we are taking a wildly unprecedented break from our regular loopposting to bring you instead: siffrinposting

specifically thinking about the dialogue w odile in the true end of the prologue when you pick 'i forget things'. the. 'whatever it is, it'll definitely come back to you'. because. no it wont. or maybe some things will, like everyones names did, but other things (like siffrins past, like anything related to the island, like - at this point - most if not everything before the loops entirely) are just gone forever. shes trying to help but honestly it feels more along the lines of her 'of course ive been in love itd be weirder if i hadnt at my age' line where she says something incredibly insensitive without realizing it, completely unintentionally. it hurts :(

The Krew works out together, usually honing a particular skill that they wish to work on (agility, weight lifting, defensive maneuvers, etc). Gideon is always extremely excited about it, and as the only one who's actually into fitness, he likes to hype up everyone especially when they beat their PB.

He'd never admit it but seeing Gideon happy is the reason Kremy actually gives a shit rather than phoning it in. The rest, while it's a bit of a struggle, do enjoy having a skill to get them out of a bind.

Hootsie gets put in a little coach outfit too, she's not helping really but isn't she cute???

What about hms in your favorite movie or show? (Art req)

i saw the tv glow...

yeah ok i know i literally just watched it last night but its my fav now,,,shhh (just in case,,,spoilers below !)

mainly based off of this part !!

i have,,,reasons as to why i drew mind in this scene but i am sad to say that i have NO idea how to put into words my thought process so ur gonna have to trust me (or if you really want to know just ask and ill try my best ToT)

what i CAN say though is that:

this drawing would be right after the juno incident

transfem mind (hell yeah)

dissociation/derealization/depression of mind

masking (?)...yes

ok done rambling maybe,,,i liked this movie. i am never watching it again. highly recommend it. ouch.

Give us the tea on how Gordon was fumbled?

I appreciate this opportunity so much.

Unfortunately I don't think I can properly answer it short of a full-fledged essay. And I've been trying to write that one for years.

The shortest way I can think to say it is to repeat my insistence that in C. Awdry's final book, putting out that fire with Gordon's water reserves ought to have been Gordon's idea. It would have been the perfect a highly acceptable end to his character arc.

As it was a human's idea, and Gordon was just There, it is completely hollow and meaningless and I have to question if either Awdry ever understood what made Gordon a force to be reckoned with in the first place.

the memory scene with tabi and clown in chapter 1 still has me in a chokehold. literally the VERY first thing we hear not only from clown but in the scene as a whole is "Let me be the one to go. You have a longer life than I do, and you don't deserve to die." Which could mean nothing

i need to stop shadowboxing the concept of romance when i write. i need to make my brain go to a world where romance doesn’t exist when i write because feeling its constant presence and people’s expectations of its presence and reading in of its presence is making me a worse writer.

like. thinking a lot about that post that’s going around rn about Books That Are Clearly Afraid Of The Reader. been thinking about how fear of being interpreted or perceived or whatever permeates a Lot of what i do and always has, creatively, and frankly compromises it, especially in terms of fear of people reading romance into my stuff because of how much i write about interpersonal relationships and intimacy and reliance and vulnerability and intense emotional situations.

i need to stop trying to build a boat with my main priority being ‘i dont want people to insist to me that this is a car or make people feel tricked into seeing a car etc etc’ when there is actually no part of this boat that needs to be made with cars in mind at all i could just Build The Damn Boat. this metaphor got lost.

point is i need to stop letting romance take up space in my stories at all. even if it's just as something i'm doing backflips over and around. i need to just start writing about platonic relationships - friendships, queerplatonic relationships, familial relationships, etc - without feeling like i need to first disprove romance as an automated and inherent assumption. romance should have no quarter here, even in feeling forced to deny it.
