I saw that "Gwyar helps shave the hound" and I agree, big chef's kiss.

I'm thinking about the Hound maybe not having the steadiest hands (outside of a battlefield) because that's how trauma sometimes manifests itself in my experience, and they keep nicking themselves when they shave on their own.

YES. YES THIS

Croft reacting to mc not knowing about them pov?

I've gotten a lot of requests for the Croft intro scene, and they're all very good. It's such a long scene that I might have to split it up into different snippets, though...

That being said, I think the very start (them coming up to MC, introducing themself, the conversation about whether or not MC recognizes them or is a fan) would be a very good snippet on its own. And then potentially another one for the magic scene and/or the stone skipping scene...

Mostly because the total Croft intro scene was like. 29k or something lmao I don't think I can consolidate that while also being mindful of the various choices.

But a few different versions? That I can probably do :3

“What I wanted to be”

A artist

That was well known

Had a comic book

That I drew

And people were fans

Was a comedian

Who did stand up

And people laughed

Had a home

In the mountains and hills

That was connected to water

With a four wheeler

That my kid and I drove

In the hills

Was rich just enough

To not be worried

About rent

Food

Or not even surviving

Had these things

In my imagination

if it's good enough for you, then it deserves to be made. don't let anyone else decide if your story is worth it or not.

the world is getting so ugly and bleak and it’s hard not to feel so hopeless. but we have to remember that they want us to feel that way.

it reminds me of this quote by dan savage - “During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night, and it was the dance that kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.”

joy is resistance. it’s really scary times but we are all in this together.

been so focused on surviving and gritting my teeth without cracking them too badly for so long that I almost forgot what it feels like to wake up without dread

I think I started the practice in college which is weird since I didn't know that many people in the different classes I took that well. It was largely big classes filled with strangers.

Still...

Somewhere in those five years I started writing down memorable quotes I heard in class. I wrote them in the margins of my notes or at the top of the page. If I heard it and something about it hit me in any way, there it would appear somewhere around my notes for the class.

After university, I signed up for the Music & Video Business program at the Art Institute of Seattle. Since I traveled the entire program with the same cohort, there were plenty of quotes that made their way into the pages of my notes. So by the time I was released into the wild, my ears were finely tuned to the quotable wherever I happened to find it.

Now, my habit was to carry around a note pad that captured everything I learned, everything I had to remember in my professional career. And of course quotes found their way into those pages. It's a practice that continued as paper and pen gave way to digital notes on my smartphone.

Of course getting married, becoming a father, that was quite fertile ground for plenty of exclamations and conversations that caught my ear. And eventually the best of the best, the most memorable found their way into a section of our family Christmas letter reserved for just such entertainment and insight.

So.

This afternoon we're playing Monopoly. Monopoly, that is, specifically themed by the Harry Potter book and film franchise. And during this game, a thing is said—two things are said, actually—that catch my attention. And before I think to write the first one down, Linzy says she's looking to make this year's cut. That section of our old Christmas letter in which, yes, our daughter is quoted often.

Adorable that she remembers those old letters, by the way. What really captures my attention though is her admission to documenting the same thing in her life. Memorable quotes by anyone and everyone around her that she documents on her phone, organized by person.

Dang.

And just like that.

I passed on a tradition.

😁
