Pov it's half past midnight (you have school in the morning) and you're researching synonyms for state (verb) because you now got the time and mood to write but you can not think of half the words you require to form one informative sentence (it's related to the time being half past midnight)

Writing documentary scripts is hard, but it's especially hard when it's something u don't want to make, but also u do, but u don't bc it would involve putting urself in front of the camera and talking about ur fears and feelings, but it could be meaninful and a bit ironic, and also people are going to watch it and critique it, and worst of all they'll see it before it's even finished too like that's when it's at it's most vulnerable, and ur going to have to be in the same room when it happens, and u have to talk about it, but that's how u make it better, and also 2 of the people looking at it have more experience than u and know more bc they're literally ur teachers, but it could be nice if I could just put myself out there except it's so humiliating for no good reason at all

never not leaving a social interaction without thinking "guess i'll just walk into the ocean now!"

me: *is young and just the right age for partying*

also me: *gets excited that i’m going to be home alone all night because that means i can read out loud to myself in the living room without fear of being heard*

[musical-chick-13]

My brain: Nooo, don’t hype up a thing YOU MADE on the “Making things and sharing them” website, who do you think you ARE.

Me: Sounds reasonable, I will listen to you, good talk.

Hackett’s Quarry Summer Camp Tag!

I’ve been tagged by a few people in this and wanted to give it a go :3

original tag list by @lowonmelatonin

Favourite counsellor and least favourite counsellor. Why?:

My favourite has to be Dylan. I read ATLITW a few weeks before I played the quarry and that already set me off struggling with my gender (again), but the moment I set eyes on Dylan something snapped in me. He’s my gender euphoria <3 I wrote A Guy Like Me literally as soon as we finished the game.

First time I played I liked Laura the least (ironic because she’s my husband’s favourite), but I have a new appreciation for her after replaying. I think maybe Abi is my least favourite, but only because I wish she’d had more to do! Same with Nick tbh.

Favourite chapter and least favourite chapter. Why?:

Chapter 5 is my favourite, hands down! I love the scrapyard, but the radio hut is just superior imo

Me and Chapter 8 have personal beef because when me and my husband picked our characters at the start of the game, I chose Dylan, Abi, Nick and Emma, and he picked Ryan, Laura, Jacob and Kaitlyn. Which means I didn’t get to play for the whole of chapter 8!!!

Favourite ship (you can pick a maximum of 3)?:

Dylan/Ryan (also Dylan/Ryan/Kaitlyn)

Biggest counsellor crush:

Dylan. At first I joked that I didn’t know if I wanted to be him or be with him, turns out it’s both lol

How would you survive The Quarry?:

my toxic trait is thinking I would survive the quarry. I’m scrappy and I’ve been waiting my whole life to go horror movie feral.

Favourite The Quarry fanfic writer and fanartist:

My all time fave is @drylan his work is *chef’s kiss* and then I also love @dylan-lenivy-appreciation-day works too, Better Left Unspoken has me in a vice grip. and I can’t talk about my fave fics without mentioning @cloudycaffeinatedcryptid obviously :)

I need to follow more fanartists, I’m like really bad at using tumblr so I pretty much just live in the radioheads tag. But I do love @divomria art, it’s so good!

Also @needsmorewlw for their fandom content, their headcanons and fandom content are up there with the best fanart and fanfics for me

Shoutout some friends you have made being involved in the fandom!

Okay so heres the thing, I have this constant crushing fear that everyone finds me annoying and does not want to be friends with me. I desperately want fandom friends but I’m such a coward. And I also feel that everyone else is already friends and I’m just... here. I think I make content as a way of reaching out but I never know where to go from there.

but my special shout outs go to @mothamcity @stressedanime and @me-ladie (as well as everyone I’ve already tagged)! Maybe this is me finally taking that next step to actually become friends with people in the fandom.

ISTG

If someone does not give me a Jon Bernthal fc to throw one of my girls at then I’m going to make him and I DO NOT NEED MORE MUSES.

[schnoogles]

someone: *leaves like a 2 word comment on my ao3 fic*

me, fangirling: oh my gosh! [REDACTED] is that you? from the [REDACTED] fandom?? oh my goodness i'm so excited, my teen years was basically reading all of your work for the [REDACTED] pairing!! i mean, it's been over 10 years since i first discovered your work over on fanfiction dot net and fell in love with it! like your stories were one of the first i ever read. i'm not really active in that fandom anymore and took all of my stuff down because my 14 year old heart couldn't handle flames😂 but still! back then, you were that cool, older teen who was a Big Name Writer for that pairing and you were always so nice and encouraging! and now you're reading my stuff?? i'm just so excited! you're one of the reasons i even started to dabble in writing and posting fic in the first place! this is amazing, i didn't even know you were still writing fic, let alone in this fandom and this pairing! i honestly can't wait to check out your new work!

also me: *deletes everything* aw, haha thanks for reading! :)
