Plate Tectonics (When the Clock Strikes)

There comes a time when everybody leaves/And how am I supposed to know who to chase not let go/My mind is racing but my feet just move too slow

I’m graduating college o-o I'm leaving everyone behind. I have to fight just to keep people who mean everything to me in my life, when I know that no matter how hard I fight we'll still drift apart with time.

The (After) Life of the Party (Fall Out Boy)

I'm a stitch away from making it/And a scar away from falling apart, apart/Blood cells pixelate and eyes dilate/And the full moon pills got me out on the street at night/Cut it loose, watch you work the room

"The bridge is nearly a repeat of the first verse, but it's at a higher key, so the vibe during that part feels like "This is it!!! I am at my limit!!! Literally one stitch away right now!!!" Then the first "Cut it loose" after the bridge feels like a release of the emotions built up over the course of the song, like... "AAAAHHHHH""

Don't leave, guys. Please?

The Short on Shorts: We Make Movies Chicago Filmmakers Screening Series

Yesterday, as the title of this article implies, I attended the We Make Movies Chicago Filmmakers Screening Series. The mini festival, which aired the work of local filmmaker at the Facets theater, began with a two hour block for professional short films. I was privileged enough to see seven incredible shorts, and I will be giving a short review of each of them here. In 2024, I want to attend…

after midnight I love to talk about how we were force fed a lot of our limiting beliefs and how to work on replanting and reinforcing positive habits and thinking to create your own identity and receive the things you need and desire.

What are yours “NO” in jb fanfics? Like u see it in the text in the story plot and immediately understand it’s not for you

I actually have too many and some of these aren’t even the writers’ fault they’re just me and my dumb tastes so no one should listen to me really but

AUs where Jaime hasn’t really done anything wrong/they don’t have that enemies to lovers shit going on. for me that stuff’s crucial to the foundations of jb

also AUs where Jaime and Cersei aren’t twins lol like I do make rare exceptions on this but most of the time I prefer fic that just fucking goes for it w the JC relationship

kid fics where they have like a gazillion children. also family comedy fics generally

show fics

and as a combination of the above, fics where jb are like honorary parents for the stark children like my god. are we forgetting Jaime has literally tried to kill three of them

i don’t really like office/corporate aus. for me it just feels the wrong setting for JB but again personal taste

how the fics manage Cersei as a whole is kind of important for me like if it’s a TWOW onwards fic and they avoid mentioning her entirely it feels a really conspicuous absence to me. I also don’t like fics that just feature her as a dragon to be slayed before jb can get on w their happily ever after. basically I’m interested in fics that engage w the twins’ relationship as part of JB’s story and do so without simplifying Cers herself BUT respect that not everyone wants to bother w that

soulmate AUs

also magical realism etc idk why I just can’t get into it. this is the same for literature generally I groan every time it comes up

high school AUs I can’t get invested in teen romances I couldn’t even get invested in these when I WAS a teen

Jaime’s either A) too snarky or B) too soft. like I think this is at least partly a ‘just me’ thing bc there’s nothing wrong w exaggerating certain characteristics in a fic if that’s working for the writer but I prefer Jaimes to have a bit of bite and also not be dropping a quip literally every other line. like ok yes there are some scenes where he does do that in canon lol but I find it draining when he’s literally incapable of sincerity

and this is really really just me but I can’t stand Declarations of Love Monologues that go on too long or read too rehearsed or when characters talk in language that’s just a bit too flowery and metaphorical. I way prefer sparing dialogue where most things go unsaid - especially w JB who aren’t the kind of characters to over explain themselves

fics where Brienne is a bit of an ‘everywoman’ like I think Brienne is a really interesting character by herself but sometimes ends up getting way less characterisation than Jaime does in fic

also I think a symptom of this is characterisations of Brienne where she’s like. at the club having copious one night stands bc she’s just being adapted as a Modern Woman

and Jaime getting adapted similarly as some kind of playboy type lmao

Quiet Isle fics where Jaime marries Brienne whilst she’s unconscious….. nah

oh yeah and fics where JB live London or Paris or whatever it’s like there’s a whole canon universe to fuck around with here why are they in NEW YORK

and probably lots more but really no one should listen to me bc i can’t even please myself. be free

When The Clock Strikes Four

by Enigmatree

T, WIP, 12k, Wangxian

Summary: In the end, in the very end, the dreams had come to this point. This Jiang Cheng had no one left. His mother had died to give him Zidian, his father had died to give him his title. His sect had died to gift him the glory of being the Sect Leader that had single-handedly resurrected the Jiang Sect. His sister wasn’t here and Wei Wuxian had given up his golden core and gone missing. Respect, achievements, a name, the Jiang Sect, immense strength, glory, a position where no one could ever again belittle him... The Jiang Cheng in these dreams… he had attained everything Jiang Cheng had ever dreamed of having. And now he had no one. That was the damning point, wasn’t it? (Whilst still in the Cloud Recesses, Jiang Cheng starts dreaming of the moments of a life that another Jiang Cheng had most regretted. He scrambles against the ever ticking clock to discover the things that might have become his greatest regrets, fix his own future, and find out why and how this is even happening to him. Thankfully, he has some help.)

So, note all ye lovers in love with the sound

Your world be shattered with nary a note of one

Cupid's arrow under your coat

And in the land of star-crossed lovers

And barren-hearted wanderers
