In which Ford struggles so badly to relate to other people that he wonders if he’s really human at all. The more isolated he becomes, the harder it is to reconcile with his own humanity.

the recursive nature of fractals typically means it's bound to get crowded when you're the pattern

tarot is so funny. one time i kept asking for clarification cards because i didn't trust my interpretations, and the deck gave me a card that i essentially interpreted as "stop doubting yourself, learn to trust your own ideas" like she got tired of my ass real fast

In my experience all divination through tools is like this. Even custom div tools do this to me.

Draw 1: "Look to the link between your far-off family's house and your enemy's past. Turn your home into a grave for these discussions or your enemy will find hidden ingress."

Second time asking for clarification: "You are the problem and death descends from you to infect your own happiness."

Hi everyone, I wanted to write a quick update to you guys :)

I made this blog in March of 2021. At the time, I followed my first math course on fractals and dynamics, and had just discovered a tool to make my own awesome fractals. This blog started out as a place to share the art I was making as a coping mechanism during covid, but as I quit making them after a few months, this blog died pretty quickly. In 2022, I decided to start posting regularly again (mostly just shitposts though), just so that the effort I put into this blog wouldn't go to waste.

Then, in the beginning of this year, I started writing my thesis. I posted one (1) shitpost about him (my well-known and popular son), and got 10s of thousands of notes. Every morning I would wake up to another crowd of people who loved the graphs, or were baffled by them, and I got showered in asks to elaborate on him.

Truth be told, 2023 has been a very heavy year for me. A lot of things happened in my personal life, and I lost a dear friend to suicide. It became so difficult for me to keep writing on my thesis, and the project that should have been finished in June this year has now been taking 4 months too many. My mental health has suffered greatly, I haven't been able to take any breaks, and life has just been generally difficult. I have spent nights not being able to sleep because I wanted to finish my bachelor's thesis so bad, but my supervisors would keep demanding more work, more edits, and more drafts. At some point, I even considered quitting my studies and finding a job.

The community has helped me to keep going. Mathematicians and non-mathematicians alike who sent me genuinely interested questions, made me laugh in the notes, created fanart (??? I'm still baffled by this but the people who did this are the coolest in the world) and generally made me feel for the first time that mathematics isn't a universally hated subject. On some days, the only reason I was able to keep going and the only thing keeping me from experiencing burn-out was the support I got through this blog.

Today, 10/12/2023, I turned in my thesis. Thank you so much for your support!

Writing Patterns

I was tagged by @princessfbi to share the first line of my ten most recent fics and see if I can identify any patterns. Here we go!

1. If the Fruit is Forbidden Why is it Within Arm's Reach?

Ed really should’ve known better.

2. Winning Prizes for Rotten Judgment

Ed’s daughter and family have seen fit to forgive him for his mistakes and various fuck ups, but he’s pretty sure the gods aren’t being so kind.

3. We Can't Succeed but We Love Trying

For the record? Eddie one hundred percent blames Connor for all of this.

4. Racing with the Brakes Cut

Eddie wraps his fingers around the wheel of the car and slowly closes his eyes.

5. Want You Like a Desert (Heat is Relentless, Thirst is Quenchless)

Six months ago, if you’d asked Buck if he’d give a partner oral in public (again), he’d say no way, those days were behind him. He’s not the guy who fucks strangers in public restrooms or the alleys outside bars or eats a girl out in her car in the crowded parking lot or… Okay, so maybe, there’s an exhibition kink in there somewhere. That’s something to unpack later.

6. Abstraction to Realism

If anyone were to ask, Jamie doesn’t remember the last time he saw DI Ben Jones.

7. Descendants of Cyrano

It all starts with Harry.

8. Held Up a Lightning Rod (Wonder Why I'm Struck)

This is all Melanie’s fault.

9. Paint Me in Neon and Make Me Glow

The first time, it’s an accident, or as much of an accident as it’s possible for a thing like this to be.

10. Both Bermuda and Golden (Lost but Doing Just Fine)

Like most things when it comes to their sex life, Buck had to talk Eddie into it.

There is definitely a pattern here - two patterns, I'd say. the first is that I tend to start with a character's internal monologue, and the second is I tend to start with that internal monologue establishing the setting/story by immediately complaining to the audience about something or someone.

I also tend to start things off with a bit of humor through that complaint, or when it comes to the smut fics, a humorous observation of the situation (i.e. maybe I have a kink, look it was an accident at first, I had to talk my partner into it, etc).

Not sure what that says about me, LOL, but here we are!
