Thinking about how my first version of "Map Out All the Ways to Make it Right" was so angsty. Like, maybe too angsty. I think I was leaning hard into the "Heartbreak" of the Heartbreak Fest of it all. Like Kent's backstory and family situation was so sad. And how his life was when he first game to Vegas after the draft was just miscommunication after miscommunication. And he had no one except Garrett's kids, pretty much. And a lot of the little backstory tidbits ended up being mentioned in the fic, but I think I had like 20 pages written before I realized I wasn't going to be able to finish writing it in time and started with the fic that I actually finished. Sometimes I think about going back and finishing it, but i honestly have no idea how close I was to the end of it. And I wonder do people really, really want to read about how angsty Kent's first month was in Vegas? Anyway. It's not like it's something I'd be able to finish soon. I have 2-ish WIPs that are my focus at the moment. Just... you know... been thinking.

died and came back exactly the same but something was so so so wrong with me before and now I have an excuse to really lean into it

oh my favorite trope? two people who go through something so unique and agonizing and entirely beyond words that they have no choice but to create a bond that transcends all other types of love, thus acting as the sole point of understanding for the other person in a world that cannot fathom what they’ve been through

Today I'm thinking about how Kent's first words in the comic were "Didja miss me?" and how he apparently always says that he misses Jack and how all he wants is for Jack to finally say, "Yes, I missed you too."

Writing with AI is ruining fic for me in a way that like, now, I don't want to read fics from authors I don't know because I don't want to get through a fic from a new author and learn at the end that it was written with AI because people don't tag it, but they try to sneak it into the end note. This happened to me and I ended up mad for like two days. Like, straight up, I was fucking seething when the "author" said the fic was written with AI in the end note. And I don't want to get mad reading a fic when it isn't about something that happened in the fic itself.

So now, I don't want to branch out and read other authors besides my usuals which sucks because there is always new authors coming into fandoms. But now I'm scared and frustrated and I don't want to feel like I'm wasting my time when I accidentally read something that someone didn't even write. I guess I'm trying to be like, whatever, write fic with AI if you want, but tag that shit accordingly because that way I can avoid your shit like the plague and not have to close ranks in terms of the authors I read.

And no, I won't get over it. You can post your AI fic, but you don't get the privilege of a dopamine hit from a kudos or a comment from me if you don't put in the effort to actually write it.

The commission ended up being for something Jack/Parse based, and I’ve been given the go ahead to post this take on it. From a character perspective i love parse - a hellspawn who needs to work on his shit for the sake of everyone in the vicinity

My part on the art trade with @littlestpersimmon. Woot-woot!

headcanon: after Jack joins the NHL, referees seem to be increasingly reluctant to be on the schedule every time the Aces play the Falconers because dropping the puck for a Parson / Zimmermann faceoff battle is like getting mowed down by a truck.

His eyes often changed like mood rings, but his feelings always stayed the same. And maybe you did love him, but you never did quite say it back.
