Adding to the list of “things I never thought I’d look up”…rabbit dishes 😳 But here we are.

(Gives a whole different meaning to the Salvatore School ‘bunny diet’…)

BTW i see these posts all the time like "ohhh i dont know what to comment on fics.." and every response is "keysmashes! or hearts!! anything works :3" and thats GREAT!! thats helpful!!

but: consider. if u genuinely like analyzing writing.. do u know ur just allowed to go through and quote your favorite parts and ramble abt what they mean to u and the author will LOSE IT WITH HYPE?

genuinely. i felt SO WEIRD the first time i did it.. but like. holy shit authors love it. its crack for authors. the first time i did it, it was on a fic that hadnt updated in half a year, give or take, and the author made 3 updates that month BECAUSE OF MY COMMENT.

LIKE. as an author every comment is INCREDIBLE!!! but also, dont feel like your comment has to be short or otherwise ur invasive or smth!! authors ADORE long comments more than ANYTHING.

I’m only about halfway through the first chapter of this fic, and 🤯

It is already one of the pinnacles of post-S4 fics (right there with Limon_Skittles’s unfinished 4 Years, 6 Months, 8 Days), deeply angsty (with glimmers of hope) with so many layers and nuances and such an enormous and powerful emotional weight to it. @the0fi has done an amazing job capturing the details of Josie’s life and her relationships—familial and with Hope, over their (so far short, but still) lifetimes. You can tell it was a labor of love, and I’m so glad they found their way back to finishing it.

You can’t run fast enough to start reading Lost at Sea.

(And although it’s not dark—at least so far as I have gotten—in the way the others are, I was prescient to mention it alongside the collection of dark, angsty fics updated yesterday.)

henlo i got a new hosie one-shot coming your way tonight (because i’ve been writing instead of studying for next week’s exams)

about 18k words, mostly josie pov but some hope pov too, angsty, filled with some heavy topics (it’s post merge, so i think you can imagine)

technically canon divergent because of some minor changes, but it can perfectly fit within the canon if you don’t care enough about about the details lol

Baking is ridiculous. Stir these powders into a goo and them warm them up until they turn into some kind of edible sponge. Who came up with this.

Second Hope scene has hit 957 words and I’m already tiring of it—writing travel is never the most fun, but I needed to write parts of it to include a few details to set up for things later on…so here we are. It will probably wrap up fairly quickly after this 😂

With a whoosh, the businesswoman sent her instructions on their way, and she was almost immediately met with a string of emoji as a reply: 👚👖👟👢🧥👜🎿👍 Hope chuckled; she was shocked the flying money emoji wasn’t among the set.

I guess to me the mechanics of the way things were shot and how that imbues meaning are fascinating, in part because I can’t imagine a showrunner micromanaging a director’s staging of the scene to achieve those constant parallels in the leaving scenes—but maybe my imagination is too limited for this case 😂

another good bit from the subreddit that I wanted to share. I don't have much to add because I've talked about all of these things and more, but the way they pointed out how hosie treats each other next to both Josie and Hope's previous romantic histories...

also I loved this reply too because.. yeah. Hope's inexplicable softness for Josie but not other people is so wild

like she had a hot temper, was slow to trust and quick to shut out, etc... but she instantly forgave Josie (and idek if I can call it forgive because for her there was nothing to forgive almost? it was that serious) for so many things and even one of the offenses made her basically start cheesing and kicking her feet. like she was so enamored with Josie that she didn't care she'd done anything wrong and it's just adorable coming from Hope? She would put people in boxes for even thinking about hurting Josie. She couldn't even insult Josie with her humanity off without looking hesitant and saying just kidding. The second Josie's real face was in front of her, she couldn't hurt her and put her peacefully to sleep. She doesn't reserve this unrelenting softness for any of the other characters. The fact she even gifted Josie the talisman in the first place speaks to how she quietly noticed and pined for her, too. It's shows a reciprocation of interest and energy there, which was something Josie always wanted from someone. It was even one of the key reasons why she was hurt with her sister. Josie has longed for that kind of attention and care both platonically and romantically forever
