#how to write a master thesis

[roxannepolice]

I'm... HOW TF HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS MOMENT GIFFED BEFORE or for that matter noticed it before the nth Utopia rewatch?????

Hmm, I wonder what someone making such a gesture might want to show?

That would also cause such an enthusiastic response?

Just WHAT were RTD's directions for his Doctors and Masters, "And remember, whatever you do, make it extremely sexually charged"????? Ten and Yana were ready to f*ck before they ever realized who they are, be horny for the Doctor was one of the few elements of the Master's personality that chameleon arch couldn't supress, right next to be a genius.

Some character doodles from three of the different stories I'm writing as procrastination from actually writing much.

'TIS TIME!!!!!

The first half of my fic for the @moshangevents Big Bang is now live!!

Read the fic HERE!!

Rating: M; M/M; Mobei Jun/ Shang Qinghua Additional Characters: Luo Binghe, Shen Yuan, Linguang Jun, Original characters Tags: fae au, fae!MBJ/ human SQH, slow burn (?), mutual pining, curses, transformations, fairy tale tropes, eventual smut

Summary:

The Winter King was as cold and harsh as the lands he ruled. He did not take kindly to strangers, and those who crossed his boundaries vanished, never to be heard from again, or returned, incurably altered, mere shades of their former selves. Shang Qinghua knew the stories as well as any other, but that didn’t prepare him to meet Mobei Jun, the fae king of the North. Expecting to be punished for a transgression that was hardly his fault, he is surprised when the king merely insisted he join his staff, copying old records. Mobei Jun is just as unprepared for the strange allure the baffling human scribe seems to hold over him. He proves every bit as clever and skilled as he claims, however, and Mobei Jun soon grows to trust him. Like so many things in life, good things never last long, and their tentative relationship gets thrown upside down after an ill-thought kiss sets off an ancient curse.

Am I supposed to take advantage of the night to keep working on my thesis, of which I've barely completed 1/9th (discounting research, abstract, introduction, structure and bibliography)? Yes. Am I instead reading my second novel of the day? Yes. Should I go to bed instead because it's 4am? Yes.

Earlier today I read This is How You Lose the Time War, that I had been meaning to check ever since it was published, and it was gorgeous. Really beautiful, the letters, the descriptions of the multiple universes, times and planets visited, the ways Red and Blue work, the emotions... Pure joy.

Right now I'm reading The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, and it is fascinating. I love a good scifi book, especially a scifi book that really takes into consideration the vastness of space and how varied other species and planets could be. Also punching holes through subspace sounds like a pure adrenaline trip and I'm deeply interested and captivated.

Anyway. Thesis is not progressing, deadline is getting closer. I should stop reading and start writing at some point. Meh. Stress levels are still not optimal. Stars aren't aligned. Need more adrenaline.

speaking of being slow. i wish i was a faster writer. i can write and i can write well, but it takes me significantly longer than nearly everyone i know. i just cannot get words out as easily as other people seem to and it is so frustrating all the time. i am working on editing my resume right now for applications. this is the third day i have worked on it. all i have needed to do this entire time is change the format to fit grad school rather than a job and add my recent work history. this isn't even two pages long. i have been working on it for 3 and 1/2 hours tonight and it's still not done. ITS NOT EVEN 500 WORDS APPARENTLY. i want to cry

my sister is currently doing her nightly *douse myself in water for 5 mins despite it leaving PUDDLES EVERYWHERE BTW and then spend 20 mins applying imported skincare i spent all my money on* in SILENCE sans any form of music meanwhile she walked in on me having a party of one (1) at myself in the bathroom mirror to set it off of all things. it's a bit funny that we are related by blood

it’s actually really interesting to see how some of us were treated fighting to view lucy as a complex character who didn’t deserve the hate buddies sent her way, accusing her of being the most horrible woman to ever exist in part due to her role in buck’s cheating arc versus the rather unanimous support and delight for eddie cheating on his girlfriend. it’s just interesting to me

got accepted for the masters degree at my uni !! <3

Lowkey the proudest of my writing I've ever been. I really think a major part of the Master is biting more than they can chew, which is why I think the game with the Toymaker would be not the case of cheating or sth, but rather getting what he wants and jumping on more like a cat on a toy mouse. And he's a sleazy coward. Of course he's a sleazy coward, but still fighting a lost fight. And yeah, I imagine the Toymaker's realm as Las Vegas.

The absolutely viceral feeling of almost having a complete paper about Nona the Ninth in my brain for my new seminar that started today. And it's SO RELEVANT for the topic and it would be ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!

BUT!!! I have to find a fucking BUDDY for the topic and I KNOW noone in my department has even HEARD about The Locked Tomb... Why do they want me to suffer?

WOE IS ME!!!

Within me lives a tiny toxic demon who thinks this is kinda funny
