Nine People I'd Like to Get To Know Better Meme

Tagged by @loreofcardigan.... a while ago but i'm finally getting around to it. answered some of these back when i was tagged but uh unfortunately there hasn't been that much change since then because i've been e.g. so busy at work.

Last Song: What Happened to Us? by Shura. love that song, how wistful and reflective it is on the passage of time and growing up + that sweet smooth melody line. I only really like two Shura songs (that one and what's it gonna be) but i play them on loop.

Favorite Color: Blue.

Currently Watching: sousou no frieren

Last Show/Movie: oh man... probably the cdrama destined? technically i dropped it like five episodes from the end for no real reason but i was really invested for a second there. perfect example of heterosexuality in that its about the guy pining and suffering while the girl tortures him for his crimes.

Sweet/savoury/spicy: out of these three spicy, but what i'm really known for is liking sour foods.

Last thing you googled: "why is beautiful soup named that". as in, the python package. i'm an R girlie though.

Argfg agh I hope this doesn’t come off weird but I am SO curious as to your literary canon/fave books/stylistic influences. Your turns of phrase (??) are so wonderfully different and unexpected and I can’t reference them against anything and it kills me haha. It kind of reminds me of reading an Irish author for the first time - the language is common but the arrangement is totally different and it’s shockingly brilliant. ANYWAY sorry if this doesn’t make sense/is weird lol!!!

this is extremely kind and not weird at all, thank you! i promise you i’m possibly the most american person to be posting on this american-blighted website, but i take your point and i like your point :) it’s a lovely way to be described!

anyways, in terms of style influences, part of what’s taken me five days to reply to this is trouble i’ve been having with naming them, especially as related to turns of phrase. it is something i’m proud of in my own work, but surprisingly hard to identify where the little fuckers came from! terry pratchett’s discworld series is probably the most important influence i can name--our man terry never, ever passed up an opportunity for a joke at the expense of his characters, his settings, his plots, or himself, but (especially in his mid-career books), those jokes did not detract from the actual pace of the story and they almost always informed the characters! very hard to do! there’s a density to the gags that’s astonishing, and that i’ve been absolutely trying to ape both knowingly and unknowingly since age 14. if you haven’t read them before i highly recommend them, do look up a reading order first lol. his early work is rough and should not be read until after you’ve become addicted to the good stuff.

the other big influence i can name right off the bat is probably don rosa’s scrooge mcduck comics, which i got back into in high school but had been reading with my family on and off since like 4. they’re unfortunately a bit harder to recommend than discworld--i think they’re the best story writing that’s ever been put to paper in the 22-page comic genre, but they follow the mold of old adventure comics like tintin or asterix, and are thus very racist very frequently. if you can look past that: they’re incredible. don rosa got started in underground comix before he started working for disney, and he brought to the scrooge stories that incredibly busy, overfull style, which apparently drove his editors insane to start. a lot of the stuff i love most to write is in those comics: a love of expansive scenery, a chatty, dry conversational style, and as many background jokes as can be physically crammed onto a page. don had the benefit of an actual background to his panels in which to include these jokes, but i, a writer, do not--i’d say that some of the most inventive shit i’ve come up with has been because i’ve been trying to cram one more joke into a dialogue tag (the background of all fics) without screwing up the pacing of the conversation. it’s the same thing i love about pratchett’s best stuff: a trim story told very densely.

don didn’t do much by turns of phrase, tho, what with the whole visual medium thing. in terms of things i have enjoyed in my life where i thought “damn wish i could turn a phrase like that!” :

Fahye’s fic

mediest’s fic

Sharon Olds

Patricia Lockwood

the works of twitter user wifesimulator

Brian Phillips

Caity Weaver, idk if she even does the phrase turns in the way I’m thinking, she’s just so fucking funny

Jon Bois

probably fucking homestuck, but i’m not linking that

The Weekenders by The Hold Steady

The last verse of Spain, by Auden

gogollescent of course

hansbekhart’s fic

To His Coy Mistress

i think what i’m gleaning from my own incredibly slap-dash list here is that you should read lots of humorists and learn nothing from the english canon (except shakespeare, shakespeare slaps), and i have to say, i do agree with myself. this was a fun question to answer, thank you!

emotional stuff based on @cvsette ‘s post that I’ll link below >:)

WARNING!!!!

IF YOU ARE IN YOUR 20s AND SHOP AT TRADER JOES DO NOT (I REPEAT DO NOT!!!!) BUY A BAGUETTE, A JAR OF FIG BUTTER, AND A WEDGE OF 'TRADITIONAL FRENCH-STYLE' BRIE!!!!

FURTHERMORE: ABSOLUTELY DO NOT POP THAT BAGUETTE INTO THE MICROWAVE FOR 10 SECONDS, SLICE IT, AND (THIS IS CRITICAL) 100% IN NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU SPREAD FIG BUTTER ON ONE HALF AND BRIE ON THE OTHER TO MAKE A SWEET-SALTY-CREAMY 'SANDWICH'!!!

"But cvsette that sounds delightful ---"

IT IS. THATS THE PROBLEM. ONCE YOU HAVE TRIED THIS YOU CAN NEVER GO TO TRADER JOES AGAIN WITHOUT PICKING UP A BAGUETTE, A JAR OF FIG BUTTER, AND A FUCKING $7.49 WEDGE OF CHEESE LIKE SOME PETIT-BOURGEOIS MIDDLE-MILLENNIAL WITH A ROTH IRA AN NYT COOKING SUBSCRIPTION AND AN OPINION ON WHICH NPR UP FIRST HOST HAS THE BEST OPENING QUIPS.

I WORK IN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE INDUSTRY. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS AND YET I CANNOT STOP MYSELF. I BLACK OUT UPON ENTERING THE STORE AND EMERGE CARRYING THE AVERAGE GROCERY LOAD OF A PARISIAN IN THE 19TH CENTURY (+ almond and coconut milk coffee creamer). TRADER JOE MUST PAY FOR HIS CRIMES AND BY GOD IF I EVER MEET HIM HE WILL.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!

hold on theresorv books??? i thought they havent been translated yet??

They haven't been! This is, to the best of my knowledge, the only full set of English orv books in the world. My girlfriend @cvsette took the existing fan tl, edited and formatted the entire thing, and then had it printed for me.as a Christmas gift. Because she is an insane person 💙

The flower actually is.historicl omg!!!

oh okay that’s actually very cool. i cannot believe we had billie doing this, like not even just sticking to the theme but going all out like she properly googled her shit, and then had other celebrities do absolutely nothing. insane

i still don’t love the look of it. it’s just not my thing. but i can appreciate the thought that went behind it. and the rest of the dress is stunning obv. thank u for letting me know anon!!

the lovely @fatigay tagged me in a writers game :) ...

rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. send me an ask with the title of the one which most intrigues you, and i'll post a little snippet of it or tell you something about it (or both)

and when you've been writing fic for two and a half years, plus having a truly awful approach to finishing wips, it means you end up with a lot of wip files. so to make sure this post isn't too many screen-lengths long ive cut from the list: any fics theres a 99% chance ive deffos abandoned, some i didn't want on the list for ummmm. discretionary reasons, and anything that was less than a page long ie just a srap. SO heres the shortlist:

• [new york mafia mobster voice] doity

• fumigation fic

• hmmmmkkkkk

• cowboy fic rewrite plan???!!!

• ooh we stealin (the old 7yg fic and making it something new)

• miscommunications r us outline !!!!

• pick up the bones but leave the soul alone

• drunk sad girl maya realness

• something something phoenix getting miles to unwind something

• Seasons - Narumitsu Week Day 7

• :)

• Franmaya day 7 - Freedom

• bruh

• car

• cmas??

• totally not intercrural

• wait phoenix is BI?????

• Rewind - Narumitsu Week Day 2

• plant-dad trucy-less phoenix

• beanix2phoenix NEW VERS

as u can see theres some old ship week prompts here from. literally a year ago LOL i still like the premises tho so have included them in the list in case i refashion them into a bog standard fic hehe. theres also some here that im unlikely to return to for various reasons, but would LIKE to and am being optimistic about... also theres a bunch of scraps/notes for more wip ideas in my personal discord server so in a way the above list is just the tip of the iceberg. HELP !

anyways!!!! i tag @thesugarcookieday @cvsette @hechiima @krisseycrystal @slicedmangoh should u wish to accept :)

are you into simulation games, like animal crossing and stardew valley?

i really really like stardew valley, as a matter of fact @nightpool @lobotomysauce @cvsette @stardustcrusaders @orange-frog @blrdnames and i are all in the middle of a group multiplayer server right now, we're in winter y1.

animal crossing on the other hand i am not a fan of. i was sooo excited when new horizons came out ebcause i was like wow ill finally get to play an animal crossing game, ive never had a console to play one on when it was relevant before. but i ended up getting bored super fast after the initial pandemic binge. the fact that the multiplayer was so poorly implemented really soured me
