Thinking about when AM / TLSP have done cover versions, they use the original pronouns in the songs rather than adapt them. Specifically Love Machine, SOS, and You Know I’m No Good. There are probably more examples.

So many artists, particularly at that time, would routinely switch pronouns (eg so a man wouldn’t be singing about he or him because heaven forbid they sing the song as written!) but they didn’t.

Just a nice little observation.

As I come to the end of yet another longfic, I can't help but reflect on a few things.

Emotions are always mixed when I start writing the final chapters. On one hand, I'm excited to finish the story, but on the other, I'm sad for it to end.

Anyone who's ever written longfics knows that they are like your baby. You spend hours, days, months, sometimes even years nurturing them, growing them little by little, until you reach the end.

You become incredibly close to the characters because you spend so much time with them and feel fiercely protective of them. You love watching them grow and change and find their way throughout the story.

But, one day, inevitably, you write those final words, and then it's over. You're relieved but also sad; maybe a little proud as well, because creating something like that isn't easy. Getting to the finish line is half the battle.

But all good things must come to an end, and then you start looking forward. To the next project, the next story, the next set of characters whose story needs to be told.

And the cycle starts all over again.

tidbit tuesday

my beloved @perfectlysunny02 tagged me this week, and I know, ITS AMAZING, but I'm actually getting writing done this week (we won't discuss the painting that isn't getting done b/c the prof sucks). Anyhoo, this is tentatively titled there's no life after you.

“Firefighter down about thirty feet on the cliffside,” Hen finally says. Her voice is so calm, that it’s almost eerie. Tommy would worry, but he knows that Evan was supposed to be paired up with her, so he’s likely just busy caring for one of the kids. “Unresponsive. Can’t reach him.”  He forces himself to take a breath and remind himself that whichever his friends has fallen, they’re going to be okay. They can get Eddie or Howie up off the cliff with minimal trouble, and they’ll get them to the hospital. Everything will be fine, they just need to do one step at a time.  “So medivac,” Lucy responds back. She glances at the various controls on the helicopter dash and then down at her watch before looking over at Tommy briefly. “We’re about twelve minutes out from a hospital in any direction.” She pauses for a moment, turning in her seat once again. “Firefighter Wilson, can you tell if there’s blood loss?”  “Affirmative on blood loss,” she replies. “He’s going to need a full workup inside the chopper.”  That statement causes a pang in Tommy’s chest, but he reminds himself that they’re more than capable of getting this all done properly and safely. His friends will be fine.  “About five minutes out,” he calls out over the line.  “Try to make it three,” Hen replies. The line goes quiet again, and for the next two minutes, Tommy tries to make good on her request, getting closer to the mountain. As they get nearer, he’s better able to make out where the vehicles are parked, lights still flashing on the engines as they start to descend in height. And then, a line clicks over, like someone pressing on their radio without intending to.  “Can’t see much, but it’s not looking good.” Eddie’s voice carries over the line. Tommy gulps, realizing it must be Howie that’s injured. He can only imagine now Evan is taking it, let alone how they’re going to break the news to Maddie. Still, he tries to remain focused on the task at hand, lowering them closer to the cliffside. They’re closing in enough now that he can make out a body and the darkened area where blood is pooling as he forces himself to inhale and exhale deep breaths.  “Think we can land,” Lucy asks, looking in his direction.  Tommy’s brow pinches as he continues to get them lower. “It’s gonna be tight, but I see a spot.” He clicks over on his radio. “Captain Wilson are you available? I’m a man down; left Rodriguez at First Presbyterian with our last transport.”  “I’m on my way down,” she replies, and there’s a shakiness to her tone.  It’s a process, getting them down safely. He has to put them down roughly a quarter mile up from where Howie is at so they can land safely, and as he does, Lucy is already jumping out of the back of the chopper.  “Three minutes,” she tells him, like the unit of time is suddenly a mantra for them. “Think you can get set up by then?”  Tommy glances around the back of the chopper and nods. He really hasn’t done anything medic-related since his army days, but he knows enough about the setup of their medivac chopper to know where to find supplies.  “Go,” he yells at her over the whirring of the blades. “Hurry!”  She’s gone before the word is halfway out of his mouth, and then he’s shuffling around in the back of the cabin, pulling supplies as quickly as he can. As he works, Lucy starts calling out over the radio information for the hospital. Her voice is tight, and something about it makes Tommy’s breathing grow shallow, even if he’s not entirely processing her words.  “Thirty-three year old male took a thirty foot fall. Looking at multiple internal injuries, compound fracture to the left femur and ankle, attempting to stabilize. Helmet appears to have taken impact, so not sure of cranial effects yet, if any. Deep cut to the right tricep, and what looks like an open fracture to the pelvis. Sixty seconds out from the chopper, at least thirteen from UCLA.”

Hi! I loved Muse…I have read EVERY.SINGLE. Chris Evans piece you write (my man my man🫦) but imma need the WHOLE NINE with Muse and Ari! Her finding out she’s pregnant and Ari’s reaction, Muse BEING pregnant (cravings, sex, everything), the labor, baby naming. When I mean everything, I mean everything. But I love your writing!❤️ Keep doing it for the sisters✊🏽 and I’ll forever be that loyal fan. TRUST

Thank you SO much, Darling! Here it is! Everything!

I’m going to pair it with this ask from @colorfullydone for a part two of the parenthood!

Loved delving into Baby Cleo!🥹

Read it here. Now.

thinking about barry canonically being quick to heal, suffering so many grievous injuries throughout the course of his life, but never ever being visibly permanently scarred regardless of the severity of his wounds (discounting savitar, which was a special case), versus the widely accepted fanon of len being badly scarred from years of abuse (a theory which has strong canon evidence in support of it, given that we've seen lisa has scars from that same abuse)

also thinking about barry being loud and open about his trauma to the point that everyone thinks he's crazy vs. len being closed off and never really opening up about his history properly with anyone, never allowing himself to be seen uncovered, endeavouring to hide both his physical and emotional wounds from the world

just. thinking about that juxtaposition. barry has no physical marks and yet his trauma is in some ways far more visible than len's, as len is marked physically by his past experiences but does everything he can to not acknowledge or address them

not sure where i'm going with this. but it's interesting.

here is my 1am thought of the night after a day of very cozy and restorative cleaning: i spent just about all of undergrad zoning out in class and struggling to focus through all of it, and i still feel like i earned my degree. i have been quite flippant and dismissive of my own efforts! if i am passing my classes, that says something. if i am doing decently okay at my job, that says something too.

[aequitaes]

it’s nearly one a.m and I’m slightly delusional from being tired so idk. inbox call from a. b. or c.

[enby-catboi-moss]

here’s my offering for tboy tummy tuesday

let’s hope tumblr doesn’t nuke this

[blubberymuses]

"Behinngh ah twwhiighh ii-iish... hhoooooomppfhh.... livvin' liifah onn'.... mmmmmmmppfhh.. e-easshy moohdeeh-ooh..."

"B-bein' aah.. bbWWWOoOoOoOoRRrpp!!~ buhttahrbahll is'hh.. haaaah... daa.... hoooooh.. weey t-too gooooh~"

... Did the former lunarian's power to manipulate insanity and other wavelengths get reflected onto her? Because it's wild that she became such a hikkiomori neet that's stuffed to bursting while lazing around all days (and playing FPS shooters) out of nowhere...

Happy Tav Tuesday!

I've been in a bg3 mood lately and I really love all the awesome Tavs on here so I've decided to draw a few of my favorites as beans! Here's the line-up for this week:

Gal'vyn by me, @gyldowen-draws | Hiraeth by @eff-plays Finch by @everchased | Aldriin by @mistercrowbar

Stay tuned next week for more cool Tavs! 😊
