utena and i saw the tv glow utena and i saw the tv glow utena and i saw the tv glow "escape with me and stop repressing yourself" and anthy and isabel being entirely self aware of their predicaments and not moving from their positions but rather being complacent, worn out by their surroundings and the fake realities twisting around everyone's truth and identities and the memories that were lost from other timelines/realities and the fact that theyre kids and the "end of the world" being the guy who wants to keep everyone trapped in ohtori just like mr. melancholy and desperately, desperately needing escape andand andnd andndgbgngnnd

you know what if utenanthy could escape then isabel WILL bury herself one day trust (delusion)

Check out what what I came across!

(image: three cards with fanfic tropes, including "Whump")

For context - this was a set of fic tropes as playing cards, displayed by outreach volunteers at a table promoting the OTW or Organization for Transformative Works. OTW runs AO3 or Archive of Our Own and Transformative Works and Cultures and other projects. You can get the card set if you donate $100 dollar to the org (link).

So of course, I ask if there's a hurt/comfort card.

(Image: a card indeed highlighting "Hurt/Comfort")

Yes!

Meanwhile, the outreach person (who does volunteer tagging on AO3 I believe) takes in how I am snapping photos with glee. And remarks, "I can see what kind of stories you like to write."

And then, the outreach person shuffles through the card deck, and delicately slides this card (below) over to me. While murmuring, "I believe this may also appeal to you."

(image: card showcasing "Major Character Death")

Well see the thing is, I actually don't enjoy this trope. As a friend remarked later about hurt/comfort affinities - it's a very specific lane, you see. However, I took a photo, since I know people who probably do like this trope a lot, and we look out for our friends. Just like the outreach person at the table was looking out for me (or trying to).

I also went "ooh" when I saw the "Fix-it" card and asked for the "Fluff" card as well. The outreach person seemed surprised about my enthusiasm for Fluff. We had a nice little discussion about how the secret ingredient for Fluff is actually a sprinkle of Hurt/Comfort. It's as essential as adding a pinch of salt to cookies - it really brings out the flavors and highlights the sweetness. (The continuum of hurt/comfort to fluff really should be highlighted more IMO.)

Anyway, here's all the cards mentioned as a spread:

(Also I was merrily chattering with the outreach person about early Get 'em Star Trek fics and how I looked up essays on OTW for whump and hurt/comfort info.... When I realized, "Oh. I am three steps away from formally submitting a proposal to a convention about running a hurt/comfort and whump theme panel. Hm.")

29 - Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

oh man,,,this is hard lol. I've immediately forgotten everything I've ever written. however after some consideration I'll give you this, which is the opening to a post-order 66 codywan fic that I haven't made much progress on. I don't know if I would call it my absolute favorite but I do like it a lot.

The streets of Mos Eisley are full of people wrapped in shawls against the burning suns, but it’s still almost laughably easy to locate his target in the pulse of the marketplace crowd. His clothes are the same dusty tans and browns as everyone else and his shoulders are hunched against the midday sky; it’s the way he moves that gives him away, a subtly graceful weave between bodies. He stops, every so often, to haggle with vendors, and moves on again some minutes later. Sometimes, he is successful in his bartering, but more often he leaves with nothing, courtesy of his awkward, failing charm. This is the routine. He trails the target first from 100 feet, then sixty, then fifteen, and then finally close enough to nearly trip over the man’s shadow. They pass an alleyway and he lunges, slamming the target into the wall and pinning him there in the same movement. The vibroblade in his hand hovers against the target’s neck, a whisper away from drawing blood. “You’re dead,” the man who was Marshal Commander Cody hisses. Obi-Wan stares at him, jaw clenched and eyes wide. A heartbeat later, and the alarm fades into what constitutes a smile for him, in this day and age. “Cody,” he breathes, startled and relieved in one. When Kote’s dead-eyed stare flattens further, he corrects, “Ka’ra. I didn’t think you’d be back yet.” Kote doesn’t respond and doesn’t move for three breaths past awkwardness. Obi-Wan holds still beneath him, eyebrow tilted up in amusement or expectation or question - it could be any or all of the above. Finally, he steps back and sheathes his vibroblade. “The extraction took less time than expected. I spotted you less than a minute after I entered the market. You need to be more careful.” Obi-Wan chuckles. “Well, it’s a good thing you’re back, then.” “You’re going to get yourself killed,” Kote spits, ignoring the acid taste it leaves in his mouth.
