jeez lan zhan that’s his spot how cruel

[scioneeris]

So sick of dog motif what about cat motif.

I love you but we don't love the same. I can't be near you when you want me to be. Your love is smothering and your need to keep me safe is trapping me. I'm my own person but I don't know how to show you that. I lash out and hurt you even though I don't mean to. I need you to move slowly around me or I'll bolt. I love you, even though I don't say it. If you stay still I'll sit next to you, and even though we don't understand each other we can be together like that.

A fantastical short story with sword-wielding dragels, elemental magic and one woman tackling the challenge of learning to trust new friends and places. After all, a home is only what you make of it and friends do require some care and keeping. 

Marcella's in the mood to tear into something with fangs and claws. It's the kind of urge that every Gheyo—dragel fighter—gives into, when the instinctive need grows to unbearable heights. Her Storm Element makes her unpredictable, but her needs are as basic as they come. She can't go alone, but her options are sparse. Perhaps, she can ask for a favor?

US-based writers: don't miss out on getting into the class action suit against Anthropic / LibGen

Apparently the deadline is tomorrow. (See the Bluesky posting over here for useful URLs.)

...Just doublechecked my entries in their database. They scraped essentially everything I've ever written. And confused Diane Wynne Jones with me, ffs. ...FUCKERS.

If you are US-based, get yourself on that list. Here's its URL:

Multi billion dollar corporations: We make crap AI ads because we rather hang ourselves than pay an extra cent for a quality work.

Midsize art supply manufacturer: We commissioned a watercolor artist to make an illustration for every color of our watercolor palette and make it into an art book with swatches.

From the OP: "If you sit at a desk or stare at your phone all day, this is for you. Here's how to undo the damage: - Banded Chin Tucks - Strengthen your neck flexors and fight forward head posture - Banded Pull-Aparts - Target your rotator cuff and improve shoulder stability - Banded Abduction - Activate the midline of your scapula for better posture - Lateral Deltoid Raises - Build shoulder stability and control - Banded Up-and-Overs – Boost scapular mobility and range of motion These simple banded drills will help you stand taller, move better, and feel stronger - even after hours at a desk."

Some of these are the same or similar to the exercises my physical therapist taught me.

Summary: “You are not stupid, and what happened was an accident,” Lan Zhan tells him. Standing above him, snow melting wetly on his coat, Wei Ying looks a little too wide-eyed, too defenseless. Not at all like the dark-eyed gloss-lipped creature he’s seen flirt with half their year, full of confidence and charisma. “I – of course it was. But it was also definitely the height of stupidity. Lan Zhan, I broke your arm.” OR: Recovering from an unfortunate accident, Lan Zhan harnesses the power of guilt to do the one thing no one else has managed: make Wei Ying take care of himself. Kay's comments: What if Dom Lan Wangji used his powers for evil? And by that I mean making Wei Ying dress warmly in winter and making sure he always brings himself lunch to uni. Really loved this. Unfortunate that Lan Wangji's arm needed to break first. Excerpt: “And, perhaps, text your friend. He was also concerned. I think he would have come home to carry you up into the apartment, if I had let him. It was all I could do to convince him to take notes for you.” Lan Zhan blinks sharply. “Wei Ying?” Huan-ge smiles. “He’s a nice boy. Very polite.” Lan Zhan’s eyebrow tweaks, but he doesn’t contradict it. Wei Ying can be polite. He just often forgets to. “You failed to mention that he’s also very handsome, A-Zhan,” continues Huan-ge.

subscribing to a fic isn’t enough I need the author to blast a bat signal into the night sky whenever they update

[scioneeris]

has this been done

[scioneeris]

I love when I’m reading a fic and it’s evident that the author has a favourite word/phrase/metaphor they like to use because it’s used again and again.

As a writer, I worry that people will find it annoying when I do this but as a reader I find it so endearing, it’s like walking into someone’s bedroom and its immediately obvious what they’re favourite colour is.
