you want a new kind of guy, fine, i raise you: the lady i was briefly roommates with in college who once smoked a blunt at a party and then spent an hour confessing earnestly to me that she genuinely preferred reading detailed episode recaps over actually watching the tv show in question

#she sounded so remorseful & i just stood staring like an anthropologist watching their phd thesis spontaneously manifest before their eyes #apparently she would watch the pilot episode to get a feel for the characters #and then just read a bunch of recaps & episode reviews instead of watching future episodes. what fresh steaming hell #this conversation took place like a year and a half after we were roommates btw. i had seen her maybe twice in that time period #i thought she was a standard frat girl but then 18 months later she appears in the wild grass to reveal unhinged character background to me #and i'm just standing there nodding feeling like i missed a weird opportunity i did not want or ask for #honestly thought i was the weirdest person in that apartment situation but now i'm wondering what our other 2 roommates were hiding #not my strangest college experience at ALL but like. definitely top 20 #this wasn't the same person as Aquarium Girl btw but oddly enough they were roommates actually #(not at the same time that Recaps Lady and i were roommates but at different intervals idk)#anyway i probably should have interviewed at more than one apartment before taking over a sublease but summer sess is a weird time u know #oh and this happened in Hong Kong btw

Only Dull People Are Brilliant At Breakfast by Oscar Wilde

I read this collection of quotes a couple of years ago, and ever since I have wanted a physical copy of this book. I decided it was finally time to get one and have a reread. I love Wilde and this collection of quotes feels a lot like a trip into his brain, it got me really motivated to finally pick up The Ballad Of Reading Gaol.

#if you dig into my blog you will also find my first review of this book #this post is mostly here to record that I reread this book this year #2024 book #bookblr #booklr #books #book review #book rec #reading #oscar wilde #mine #the---hermit #i thought i posted this weeks ago but apparently i had forgot oops

it is actually so unfair how being quiet is treated as a character flaw that needs fixing in every area of life

#every single school parents evening and uni review session and work reviee meeting the feedback has been #oh yeah i'm smart and hardworking and everything is great but i'm too quiet and need to talk more #like my boss even said she knows it's not actually necessary for a writer #like exactly! i know that i'm quiet but that's why i'm not trying to have a career in sales or something #literally i sit at home at my computer and read and write stuff and my minimal communication with others is written #why do i need to be loud!!!#i've had the same feedback for 20 years at this point it's like can we not just accept that some people are just quiet and not try to fix it #talking

Post HOFAS, I can only think of three things:

Lidia Cervos made this book. Truly.

But

Who do I dislike more now; Aelin or Bryce?

And

Bryce Adelaide Quinlan does not deserve Orion Hunt Athalar.

#cc hofas #hofas #crescent city #my review #lidia cervos #bryce quinlan #hunt athalar #quinlar #sjm #what the hell happened #hot takes #house of flame and shadow #cc 3 #sjm critical #mam you had two years #bryce quinlan went full alphahole in HOFAS

WRITING YEAR IN REVIEW!

I've seen a bunch of these going around from artists today, and I'm loving them! But why should they have all the fun?

We writers have worked hard to ignore our current WIPs this year to dream up new ideas we'll never write about! We've busted our tails to see how long we can go before people who read our ongoing long fics reach out to make sure we haven't died!

We have broken bread with writer's block and had two in the morning plot epiphanies. We've brought back the dead and given them children. We've resurrected planets and killed off characters for looking at us funny because...well, because we can!

Here's my creative 2023 in a nutshell, and I hope some other writers will do this too. Even if you don't think you have been particularly "productive", I think you'll surprise yourselves if you take inventory.

I did!

January

"A Crosshair Carol" on AO3, Art by @toucheholland23!

February

"Plan Seven" on AO3

March

"Don't Die Here" and "The Archium" on AO3

April

No writing this month. I was far too sad.

May

Still no writing mojo this month, but the spirit was there!

June

My "Force Fatale" piece, "An Unexpected Opportunity" on AO3

July

"A Life Changing Decision" on AO3, art by @lightspringrain

August

"Tech's New Data Pad" on AO3

September

"Happy Hatch Day" on AO3

October

"Only If You WANT to Die" and "Tambor's Monster" on AO3, art by @cloned-eyes

November

No brains this month. Just floof.

December

"BATCHED" IS ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS THROUGH JANUARY 7TH!

#artists have all the fun with these creative round-ups #and boy howdy do they deserve it #but the writers around here have had a great year too #i got up to more this year than i thought when i put it all together #my year in review #writers of tumblr #happy new year #let's go 2024

2023 Year End Fic Wrap Up

Tagged by @cr-noble-writes. Thank you!

Words written (published or not, WIPs totally count too!):

Published: 65,113 Unpublished: 41,773 Total: 106,886

It feels like I wrote a lot less this year than previous years, but I think it’s less about word count and more that my two big projects, Fugue and Mezzo, sucked up my entire mental bandwidth and I just didn’t have capacity to kick out one shots like I have in the past. I have a bunch of ideas for fun one shots, but not enough time or energy to realize them.

Also, this number is by no means accurate. My Mezzo Leftovers document is sitting at 11.3k, and Fugue finished up with a scrapheap of 28.3k. Gosh, it's hard to believe Fugue was actually 2023. It feels like years ago. Just writing it aged me 10 years. XD

Smut scenes written (if applicable): None. Did I daydream frequently and in great detail about how Sam and Kaidan reconcile in ME3? Yes. Could I write it in my sleep at this point? Also yes. Did I write a word of it? No.

New things I tried: 2nd person POV, Mordin POV, and EDI POV were all new and very scary things I tried, and think were largely successful (jury is still out on EDI and Mordin because only my beta has seen it, but I’m pleased with them).

Fic I spent the most time on: Probably Mezzo, because I wrote more of it than Fugue in 2023.

Fic I spent the least time on: Probably Capriccio, because it was short and mostly wrote itself.

Favourite thing I wrote: Well…I wrote so little outside of the long fics, because they have sucked up all my time and spoons. Fugue is something I am so proud of, but Mezzo has been so fun.

Favourite thing I read: A Sip of Serenity was a Spec Recs Kaidan & Liara treat fic for me by @screwyouflightlieutenant and I love it with an unholy love. Also, Madrigal and Volta by @dandenbo are PHENOMENAL stories you should drop everything and read.

Writing goals for next year: Finishing Mezzo sounds ambitious, but I guess I can be ambitious in January. XD

Tagging...I don't know! Who hasn't done this? If you haven't, please do it and tag me, because I wanna see. @stormikins? @otemporanerys?

#mememe #2023 year in review #meme replies #how writing is written #i've been feeling Some Kind of Way about writing lately #not frustration or apathy towards WRITING #i am still loving the hell out of that part #but this general malaise and mental exhaustion that takes away my spoons to write is becoming something i really resent #if i could take a 2-3 month sabbatical and just...rest and write and recover from...[gestures broadly] this #i think i'd be a whole new person #but alas #capitalism and all #i think i need to just be more firm with myself that writing good stories take time #i don't do me or anyone else any favors by fretting about speed and schedule #if mezzo takes forever #people will either stick around to read it or they won't #it's more important i write the story i will be proud of #anyway i've had a lot on my mind lately #Deep Thoughts With Swaps #or something #it's just weird feeling creatively pumped up and also utterly demotivated at the same time #the spirit is willing but the Swaps is very very tired

After an obscene amount of ordering, getting that ordere cancelled, ordering again, getting that package delivered to the wrong city, arguing with FedEx, arguing with Target, ordering AGAIN, and having a four week delay -

I finally got Danny Phantom A Glitch in Time!!

I’m not the best at reviewing things, but my most important thoughts are below the cut:

- I love when Danny discovers Dan (called Phantom, but he’s Dan) is loose, you can see the distress on his face in every panel. He’s not smiling, he’s pulling into himself, the stress lines are literally on his face.

- Vlad! Vlad! Vlad!

- Jazz’s magical girl transformation *chef’s kiss*

- Vlad is an unapologetic bitch, and he completely owns it.

- Dan’s design while he has Clockwork absorbed is FIRE! I love it!!

- Can I just say that I adore how much Danny CARES about everyone? He offers to help Dan, to give him a home, before they fight. He wants to give Dan a place to belong.

- Vlad’s redemption felt so natural and so right. He’s been through so much, he’s done everything in his power to get what he wants. And now he knows that, yeah, that’s not how it works. (But he has a child now, so I’m stoked for that arc) (Will Dani come back for the next issue? What will she think of Dan? I NEED sibling rivalry with those two)

- The Disasteroid is both canon and not canon now. Time travel fuckery for the win!

Was the months of fighting with various customer services worth it? 10000000% yes

Do I hope the next issue gets an in store release to I can just go grab one at Barnes & Noble? Please, god.

#Danny phantom #a glitch in time #agit #agit spoilers #a glitch in time review #I’m so happy we have a ghost alphabet I can use #and so much post-game plot now lol #my pc is still garbage #😭😭😭#I swear I’m trying to get one that runs #I’ve only had a phone for the last few years #I miss having a freaking desktop

Okay okay it's very (somewhat) unlikely to happen, but I am FERVENTLY hoping that they play Hotel California in the Lotus Casino episode. Just....please. Come on. The lyrics fit it SO WELL. What more can you ask for? Even if it's just instrumental parts or just the guitar solo, I would be thrilled. Or a snippet as they walk into the Lotus Casino. Maybe the guitar solo over a montage of them playing in there.

#please pjo writers please #percy jackson #percy jackson tv series #pjo tv series #pjo #percy jackson and the olympians tv series #percy jackson and the olympians #hotel california #yelp review with a 3-minute guitar solo #fingers crossed #if it happens I called it #I've had it as a possibility in my head for years #hotel california agenda #tag thoughts

star trek writers in the 60s: these two guys have a deep loving bond that spans their lifetimes and is inherently tied to being queer, not only because of their own personal character arcs but because of the intentional subtext surrounding their relationship and the real life context at the time

star trek writers in the 21st century: two guys being dudes. they hate each other. you can have a little bit of friendship as a treat.
