fuck it friday

thank you @sibylsleaves for tagging me!! 💛 i've had a pretty hectic couple of weeks (plus some combined iwtv and the bear brainrot skdafh) so i'm a bit more behind than i wanted to be with part 2 to it's always on the tip of my tongue but i've spent the past 2 hours editing what i have already and writing the next section so we're officially back on track!!!!

Like most of Buck’s problems, he takes it right to Maddie’s door. He shows up at her house on Tuesday night and as soon as she opens the door he blurts out, “I think Eddie’s in love with me.” She gapes at him, mouth working for a response that doesn’t come until Chimney beats her to it. “Eddie’s what?” Maddie claps her mouth shut, stepping aside to let Buck through. Chimney’s on the floor in the living room with Jee playing with her tea set. “You’re not involved in this conversation,” Buck says, pointing at him. “It’s your fault in the first place for even putting the idea in my head.” Maddie apparently finally finds her voice, appearing at Buck’s side and looking between them. “I’m sorry, what? How did Chim put the idea in your head?” “Him and Hen!” Buck exclaims, waving a hand. “They told me I should pay attention to how much Eddie wants to be around me.” “And you took that to mean he’s in love with you?” Chimney asks incredulously. Huffing in a way that could definitely be described as pouting, Buck turns to Maddie. “Can you please help me with this?” With a sigh, she glances between him and Chimney again before putting a hand on Buck’s arm. “Why don’t we talk in the kitchen?”

The placeholder is for KJ Charles' All of Us Murderers which does not yet have a cover disclosed.

it's supposed to be 9 books you want to read in the coming year. this is a mix of upcoming books and books I own but haven't gotten to (but really want to!)

I am terrible at tracking what's coming out so assume that if Cat Sebastian or a new Murderbot comes out I'll be reading those too

thanks for tagging me @door! consider yourself tagged if you wanna do the thing, I would love to see what books you've got going on. i am also directly gonna tag @mfred, @tjalexandernyc, @onecontinuoussigh but zero pressure

New things I tried:

I wrote a fic for a video game for the first time—Elden Ring. I love the game to bits, have sunk many many hours into it, have platinumed it, and it was really fun to engage with it in such a different way, through fic-writing. I went into it completely underestimating the amount of research I'd have to do. More than I'd usually do for a Tolkien/Silm fic, if I'm honest. It just really made me appreciate the scale of the lore in this game. It also made me realise I very much have a character type, i.e., people who drive themselves on and on and on chasing some ambition, becoming blinded and corrupted in the process.

Fic I spent the least time on:

Wait for You, I think. It was my shortest this past year, around 2k, and also materialised as a stream-of-consciousness kind of thing that bled all over the page in one sitting.

Favourite thing(s) I read:

I will have to keep this short, I'm afraid, as I don't really seek out fic these days. What I read is by my wondrous and inspiring friends, and here is my favourite of the year from each of them:

hunger by @sauron-kraut: a sumptuously vivid Mairon/Thuringwethil fic—a pairing that honestly doesn't do much for me EXCEPT that this fic is so delicious and is packed so full of fascinating characterisation that it now lives rent-free in my head.

anyone else by @tarmairons: this is a Will/James ficcy in the Dark Rise fandom and oh me oh my it is a hot knife plunged through the chest it is cold and clammy mist clinging to skin it is hot and tender and unnerving and on the right side of heartbreaking.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST Limerence by @elevenelvenswords: friend, your Angbang is a mind-fuck in the best possible way. This sucked me in and made me breathless and made me yearn and made me feel sharp, painful things AND some lines like "I’m scared" are still rattling about in my mind months after reading.

Writing goals for 2025:

Hmm. I have fallen into a depressive slump sadly and feel deeply uniniterested in... pretty much everything, at present. I don't have any writing goals right now—I'm not sure how much or if I'll be writing going forward. We will see.

Tagging @elevenelvenswords and @sauron-kraut if you would like to give this a go and haven't been tagged already!

Ahaha this one really stirred the pot but in the words of an online millennial... idgaf.

One person's rage bait is another person's scrolling indifferently. Tread kindly out there!

Fandom Peeps to Get to Know Better

tagged by @saltedpin. thank you!!! you're awesome

3 Ships You Like:

1. why hello aziracrow obsession from when i was 13. i thought i saw the last of you in 2019. what are you doing here again? what do you mean 'three seasons'. what do you mean 'divorce'. what do you mean 'adjacent neverending self-RPF with baftas opening skit'

2. november this year is the 10th anniversary of babylon channel 4 TV and liz/finn. btw it is absolutely buckwild that i live in a universe where post-original story aziracrow is canon while liz/finn remains subtextual and jesse armstrong finished another show and won multiple emmys in that span of time. and the guy who wrote the insane lift confrontation is the same guy who wrote the "castrate and marry you" line. unbelievable. actually, pretty believable, but you know

3. every few months i get possessed and check the tsukuyo/sacchan tags on tumblr and AO3

First Ship Ever: flick/atta from bug's life when i was 5

Last Song You Heard: 'Could I Leave You?' from Follies

Favorite Childhood Book: The Westing Game permanently changed me

Currently Reading: American Psycho and Harrow the Ninth

Currently Watching: for research purposes I've mostly been watching deep dives into niche tiktok communities and I'm losing brain cells

Currently Consuming: the trace amounts of toothpaste stuck to my teeth

Currently Craving: I think if I finally eat cinnamon sugar timbits it'd fix me just a little bit

Fandom/writing memes

What are some of the fun “tell me about your writing/stories/fandoms/ships” questionnaires that have been going around recently, lovelies? I am so out of the loop after being gone for so long that I’d like to do a couple and kind of re-establish the things I love and write about.
