hello! i just want to say i absolutely adore the titles of your fanfic series "eternal sunshine of the absent mind" (and the fics themselves of course!) - the way you redacted marc's name and the way steven explained away what happened whilst marc fronts was so clever. both of the radio scenes are easily the coolest thing ive ever read in a moonknight fanfic! also, i really loved the last section of the first chapter and the way you write layla and jake. (the spotify playlists are so good too). have a good day!

Awww, this genuinely brightened my day, thank you so much for your kind words. 💜💜💜

WHY DO CARS JUST KEEP GOING WHEN YOUR FOOT ISNT ON THE GAS PEDAL. HELLO

[elrondsscribe]

For @vintonharper , who asked for a flip of the hugs-for-crying-Val scene from Chapter 53 from Äri’s perspective!

Snippet for you! Love ya!

Äri met up with Nári on the way out of school to meet Mom in the parking lot. “Anything interesting?” he asked, nudging her with his backpack.

“If only,” Äri groaned (it had been a long day of nothing) and then she caught sight of her mother’s face through the windshield. “Uh-oh.”

“What?” Nári followed her gaze. “Oh no.”

Mom was glaring darkly into space, and Äri was a little nervous to climb into the car. Neither she nor Nári felt like calling shotgun that day.

It was Nári who got up the nerve to ask, “What is it, Mom?”

She sighed, and made a visible effort to smooth her expression as she threw the SUV into reverse. “It’s Valandil.”

That was not what Äri had expected, though she probably should have. Dorky Isil’s dorkier boyfriend had basically entered their lives in tears and chaos.

“What’s up with Val this time?” she asked.

“He was seriously triggered during a therapy session, and Isil thought it best to bring him home,” Mom said. “Isil says he’s been crying for hours.”

Äri felt her jaw tighten and her hands clench. She had a vague impression of another Valandil, whom she’d never seen cry once, but this Val was like a sad puppy when he was upset. A big, sad puppy whom she wanted to shut away from Mean People.

“Is it about his shitty parents again?” Nári was scowling too.

“Language,” Mom said automatically. “And I’m afraid so.”

Äri folded her arms. She was with Isil at this point: she did not like Val’s parents.

When they got home, Nári headed off into the kitchen but Äri stopped in the living room. Dad was on the couch snuggling Val, whose face was stained with tears. How could someone so big and solid seem so frail?

Her feet were moving before she realized it, and Dad met her eyes and Understood. He let Val go, getting up so she could slide in beside him. Val was quite a bit bigger than she was, but she hugged him as tight as she could.

(She didn’t get it. What kind of person could find it in themselves to make Val cry at all, much less hit him?)

Val gave a little “oh” of surprise, and she thought she heard him sniffle again. “Thank you, Äri,” he said softly, and settled into her.

Isil came into the living room, and paused. He smiled at Äri, mouthing thank you when Val wasn’t looking. Äri acknowledged him only by rubbing Val’s arm; she loved Isil, dork that he was, but this wasn’t for him. It was all for Val himself, who blushed at curse words and played their piano at her asking.

Then in came Nári with pickles, and Val gave a quavery laugh. “You remembered?”

“I remembered!” Nári grinned, all too pleased with himself; but Äri decided to let him have this one.

She did have to let him go so he could eat the pickles, though.

summer winter reading/writing/arting tag

Thank you so much for tagging me @thealterscrolls in your post, you know I love an excuse to overshare about things I like and/or are working on. Though, I'll be nice and keep each list to a maximum of 8 cause otherwise I would go overboard and that would make this already long post longer than necessary. Alright, let's get into it:

Describe one creative WIP project you're planning to work on over the summer: No summer for me for a while but hey, winter for me personally is a great time to work on stuff cause excursions outside the house are at a minimum, and I don't have to feel bad about being inside all day when the sun's already going down at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Anyway, I'm hoping to work on my In the Absent Place prequel slash companion fic focusing on Jake and the events that lead into that story. It's been an idea I've wanted to do for months and I have indeed started on it but I keep getting distracted from it by other ideas and fandoms (and also working on zine fics). But I do want to finish it. I also have a fic for The Owl House and one for Wolf 359 that I keep coming back to (aka the fics that have been distracting me), so we'll see if I ever get round to finishing those.

Recommend a book: When it comes to reading books, I am both very easily entertained (I rarely give out 1 or 2 stars) and extremely reserved with what I consider a great book, to me at least. I have given only a few books 5 stars. These are those few books: • 'Project Hail Mary' by Andy Weir • 'Piranesi' by Susanna Clarke • 'Loveless' by Alice Oseman • 'Radio Silence' by Alice Oseman • 'Elatsoe' by Darcie Little Badger • 'Good Omens' by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett • 'The Witch's Heart' by Genevieve Gornichec • 'His Dark Materials' series by Philip Pullman

Recommend a fic: There are so many great fics I've read that are lost to time because I'm stupid and rarely bookmark stuff (it's that same 5 star problem, y'see). But here's some I have bookmarked or remember really liking: • 'Mens Rea' by yellow_caballero (Moon Knight) • 'the dotted line' by zippe (Moon Knight) • 'An Evolving Situation' by whiskyrunner (Moon Knight, ongoing) • 'Puddlejumping' by Davechicken (Moon Knight) • 'Misguided Ghosts' by petrichorishly (Lucifer) • 'Thermotemporal Equations' by blinkytreefrog (Captain America) • 'No Echo' by sh0rtwave (Wolf 359) • 'you were the song that i'd always sing, you were the light that fire would bring' by rnelody (The Owl House)

Recommend Music: I like listening to a lot of genres, but I think indie pop is probably my go-to, so pretty much all of these will fall under that. Here are some of the songs I've really been enjoying lately: • 'Word to the Trees' by whatever mike • 'Christmas in June' by AJR • 'Kelly Time' by Owl City • 'Bite Down (Bastille vs. HAIM)' by Bastille • 'Jigsaw' by Conan Gray • 'Bloody! Bloody!' by Junie & TheHutFriends • 'Serotonin' by girl in red • 'Talking to Myself' by Will Jay

Share one piece of advice: Nothing you learn is a waste of time. Nothing. Doesn't matter how obscure or pointless it feels like it is, everything comes in handy some way or another eventually (and, hey, even if it doesn't, it can still be fun to have that knowledge). So learn! Learn whatever you want, however big or small. Learn that fictional language or lore from your favourite story. Learn about a show you've never watched from an hour long video essay. Learn about that obscure historical event you found in a Wikipedia rabbit hole at 2AM. Learn not because you have to but because you want to and because you're interested. Because no time is ever wasted when you've gained something new.

That's it for me. I'll tag @pizzee, @yellowocaballero, @theophagism, and @mockspector. Consider it my not-so-sneaky way to learn about your projects and/or favourite books/fics. ;)
