Week 50 - March 10th, 2024 'Hold On Loosely' - 38 Special Spotify / YouTube

If you recognize this one then you aren’t crazy, because this is pulled from a photo shoot of Ewan McGregor where he was absolutely young and without a care. Perfect padawan Obi-Wan material.

Enjoy!

Whitty: Why do you act like we’re three-year-olds?

Hex, exasperated: WHY?!?

Hex points at Cyrix: YOU TRIED TO HIJACK A CAR!

Hex points at Static: YOU NEARLY JUMPED 20 FEET OFF A CARPARK!

Hex points at Whitty: AND YOU ATE MULTIPLE DRIED LEAVES AND ROCKS OFF THE GROUND!

Hex: AND YOU ASK ME WHY????

🖤 barber!mickey & (not so) shaggy!ian 🖤

here's the 51st installment for this week's @galladrabbles prompt: "eins sein" by wilhelmine, specifically the lyrics: i want to be so close to you / i want to kiss you more / you're driving me crazy by our sweet mods, @energievie & @look-i-love-u

catch up/read in full HERE -- updates weekly! [ read scenes one & two in their entirety ON AO3 ]

They eat, unable to take their eyes off of each other for more than a moment. They throw jokes back and forth, barbs that nip, but don’t sting. Eyebrows dance. Lips quirk. Grins match. All wordlessly confessing, I want to be so close to you. I want to kiss you more.

“These are the best fucking tacos,” Ian praises, sauce dripping from his chin.

“Don’t tell anyone,” Mickey says, tossing him a napkin. “Can’t be waitin’ in line all day.”

“C’mon, you’ve clearly got an in.”

He shrugs. “What can I say? I’m lovable.”

It’s enough to drive Ian crazy.

Long time readers of Patterns know of my undying love for George Michael's music who passed away 6 years ago on, of all days, Christmas. Here are the Future Islands paying homage to this timeless choon in their own synth heavy recognizable sound. Last Christmas

I love and I nag —

I enjoy making you laugh

though truly I loathe the sound of your laughter

but a slow lick of your lips

a look in your eyes,

and I am distracted from my pettiness

Flirting is good, I agree.

The psychic told me, quite confidently so,

that my soul mate is to be found my next vacation destination to Monaco

A nonsensical claim, I’m embarrassed to say, has me day dreaming nonetheless.

Maybe I pretend with you

And maybe I pick at your unpleasant proclivities

as a way to test your convictions, to calm my doubting thoughts

it’s probably best not to tolerate this tendency.

Each time you take my hand, though,

a confident gesture of possessiveness

a sweet tug of the heartstrings that belongs to you

your decisiveness, your arrogant knowing

the cocky certainty of your stance, and

I am reassured by your claim

I like the subtle world building implications in the differences between the usher foundation and the magnus institute. if the usher foundation and the magnus institute were meant to be direct parallels to each other, then the usher foundation would have been established in like the 1870s in boston or nyc, but no, it's in dc and was founded no earlier that 1955, and that gives me less "old respectable academia" vibes and more "insane reagan era project comissioned to weaponize the supernatural in the cold war that didn't work but was never officially shut down."

Week 51 - March 17th, 2024 'Tequila' - The Champs Spotify / YouTube

“Well, our mothers tried to put us in public soccer, but apparently that was too much of a contact sport-“ “That- Anakin, he elbowed you hard enough to make your nose bleed-“ “And you gave him a concussion and sprained wrist, Obi-Wan. So am I wrong?” “Well I- y-you-.” “So, my point made, we were just better for baseball. Obi-Wan even made himself a jersey, wrote a number and his name with marker on the back-“ “Anakin-“ “Hand stitched a dojo patch Sensei Qui-Gon gave him on the side and everything like they sponsored him-“ “Anakin!” “But we couldn’t really afford to be on the baseball teams, so those ratty fields were where we played.” “Hm, we always came home a mess.” “No, you came home a mess, and I came home grinning behind you. Do you still have that shirt?” “Oh, I… wouldn’t know where to even start looking for it.”

Short pieces from the Light Through Liquor AU, which I have spent a lot more time thinking about after watching the Sandlot recently hehe.

Enjoy!

Agoti, with his hands cupped over each other: I found a cool spider! Tabi: Oh? Lemme see! Agoti, opening his hands to see nothing there: …hm. Aldryx: …where’s the spider. Agoti: *looks troubled and stares at his hands* Tabi: Oh no. Aldryx: AGOTI, WHERE’S THE SPIDER?!

an invitation to say yes to

Hi, so NaNoWriMo starts in a week, and maybe you’re thinking about doing it? (Or maybe you’re not, but keep reading.) I thought it was a good time to share this thread by Linda Holmes. She wrote it on Twitter on October 31, 2022. I read it a year ago and have thought about it often since.

She starts by saying that sometimes NaNoWriMo (or just using the occasion of NaNoWriMo to do your own thing) is useful because some of us have to psych ourselves into writing. She says, “If you have to bet yourself, trick yourself, bribe yourself, that is fine. Especially at first.” Then:

I just really like the framing she’s giving us—to think about invitations to write, and to think about saying yes.
