5, 18 & 19 for the fanfic ask!

Hello and thank you for the questions!!

5. first sentence of the fifth paragraph of an unpublished WIP

“I have to say, Blanche,” Rose says, settling back against Blanche’s side, “I know you explained it to me, but I still don’t get it.”

18. if you keep them, share a deleted sentence or paragraph from a published fic

I don't really keep deleted sentences/paragraphs, unless they're full concepts for a scene that I might want to use in another WIP, but I did find a couple of sentences from an early draft of i would have said impossible [...] that got heavily edited by the final cut. I'll bold the parts that got kept in the final work:

"She likes to think she hid it well. She tried to, at least; bit back the most acidic jokes, tried to keep a hold on her sarcasm. It's not her roommates' fault if she's had a bad day, is it? So she tries. She listens, and she's patient, and she's affectionate -- and they seem happy. That must count as a success.

And yet, when she's finally alone in her room and ready to call it a night -- then Rose comes, carrying tea and cookies on a tray.

It's strange. She told Ma earlier that she'd like to be alone tonight, and before the door opened she only wanted to get into bed and forget everything until tomorrow morning. Then Rose came in, and she'd be lying if she said a single hint of her perfume and a single glance at her reassuring smile aren't enough to calm her nerves."

The gist of the passage remained more or less the same, but I hope it counts anyway!

19. the most interesting topic you’ve researched for a fic

I'm not sure I can choose the most interesting one -- I love learning and I've had a lot of fun with every rabbit hole I've found myself in for a fic! The most charming one, though, was definitely the little ornithology detour I went on while I was writing sonata for trio, which was a classic case of 'I only needed to find the right simile to add in this sentence, how the hell did I end up on the Wikipedia page for the American Robin?'. I learned a lot, and birds are so cute -- especially robins!! I had a great time reading about them :)

(I'm not counting my research on karst and sinkholes as a valid answer for this questions, because I already knew the topic well enough, but I did spend a lot of time fact-checking what I wrote. I don't want to spread misinformation!)

few month update of Thai BL actors I am obsessed with!

He has me questioning how lesbian I am.

Always and forever.

I know not a damn thing about him. And I’m fine with that.

I’d give him my kidney, my liver, my spleen; anything and everything for him.

I wanna know the secrets to having that amazing of hair, please don’t say genetic or I’ll cry!

I am so happy that Neo is getting so many more serious roles and really showing off what he can do and I'm just so glad to keep seeing and to see him really anchoring a show and I am so excited he's so GOOD.

Yo Peeps! This weekend is the weekend I’m moving in with my bf. So my activity is gonna be even more sparse. I know I’ve been pretty quiet as it is this week as it is (work kicking my ass). But I’m off 5 days starting Friday so I’m sure once we do the major moving I’ll be back. I am so excited for my own office and to have a desk again.

I am given three seconds of Neo being an adorable little shit on my screen and I am gone please, where is my favorite actor? I just want more of him! He's so fun, he brings drama and humor so well and I just need his entire slut acting era tomorrow as an apology for some of the comedy BLs I have to watch currently. Please?
