It is the 8th day of August of the 2024th freakin’ year of the Common Era, and tumblr finally has threaded comments (on the Dashboard, for a single level of threading)! 🎉
(It still can’t take you to the comment in question when you click on the notification in your mentions, though 😝)

rage against the machine could sing the names and addresses of LAPD cops and tell you to go smash their windows, and some guys would still be like "well the lyrics are vague and hard to understand so its up to interpretation what the band is trying to say. really it could apply to many political beliefs"

still thinking about the two folks who got into a heated discussion of canon astropolitics between Daxam and Krypton in the comments of borderline. I remember writing that scene and almost using a throwaway planet there, but then decided it should at least be relevant to the JL canonically. hope y’all are doing well.

I love you guys. I hope you know that.
Like.
Ok so I posted the new TRT chapter the other day. Obviously. And I had to force myself to do it, to click that final, 'post' button because at that last moment, this big wave of imposter syndrome hit (that had already hit on and off as I'd started working on the chapter again). And it was just this cycle of, 'It's been like 6 months since you posted a chapter or anything other than a couple one-shots and you're out of practice, I bet it's bad, it's probably terrible, I bet everyone's left and no one cares about this thing you love so why do you? What if no one likes it, you're gonna drop this and everyone's gonna god 'wtf is this, pasta? what happened?'' And so I forced myself to post it, took my meds to ensure I slept, and then kinda just bunkered down and slept/hid because I was halfway convinced that all the trauma in the previous six months had just bopped any ability I had to write.
Instead I got this outpouring, of just like, 'WELCOME BACK' and people telling me they're happy that mom is ok (which made me cry but in a good way) and they're sorry Cato passed away (more tears, but comforted tears), but also delightful jokes about the funny lines I put in or screaming over that romantic line or about missing Jane and the dynamics and comments about being eager for the next chapter, and how now I can be one of those AO3 authors with those notes of 'yeah my life blew up so I was delayed, but hey I'm back!' which... yeah. And much like when I first started TRT, I didn't... really expect that at all, and it's made me really emotional.
So if you've dropped into my ask box or the comments or the replies, seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, because the excitement and love and just you all being the best little fam and continuing on this journey of TRT with me - a journey that has now included both Matt and Jane's journey, and a real life journey through a pandemic, a huge move, a passing of two of my pets, my mom's hospitalization and recovery, some heart issues, the cancellation and resurrection of the show, me meeting Charlie Cox and getting him to hold a red thread, my first wood carving event, etc - and I know I say this a lot, but you all really, really help me keep going when things get hard. I'd write TRT for nothing, I would, because I love this story and I intend to see it through, but ya'll just... I love you all tons. I'm hoping to get through the asks and fic comments and replies in the next few days, but I just wanted you guys to know that.

Why the fuck did you freeze the thread? It was great!
First off, super weird way to talk to a stranger out of the blue. Second off, it was because y’all popcorn-munching rubber-necking chucklefucks couldn’t keep your sticky fingers out of the enclosure
I’ll deal with receiving emails of the actual back and forth on that thread but I am absolutely not putting up with a dozen chronically unfunny main characters needing to get their own epic zing in on the thread.
Here’s this addition on the post if you’d looked for it:
