There are a couple of musicians that basically made their careers out of covering other people's songs in a way. True, Brian Setzer – you noticed I'm talking about him thanks to you checking the link – doesn't really seem to be in the vein I mentioned, but his opus remains a case study of someone who looks up to the past to do his own thing. Of course, this also means he does occasionally present the fact by establishing his own version of the tunes that gave him a few pointers on his own career. His swing revival Orchestra found him tackling many of these old songs, where he and his crew shine as a fine collection of players for these tunes, he doesn't stuff them in the mothballs like some similar to him do, he gives them the energy they need.

What do you mean there’s no surprise witch marriage in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow?

Sleepy Hollow (2013) + Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story [x]

[strangesmallbard]

the way severance creates the circumstances of a fucked up parenthood…mark wants his innie to be happy. he can’t be happy, but maybe this new self (that’s him and not him, a creation born from his DNA) can be happy. “tell them you view your innie as a sister,” not quite not quite because helena eagan tells helly r she’s not a person—something something how narcissistic parents view their children as an object to be controlled. she tells helly she will make her life horrible if she does not stop rebelling against her. the way dylan stops enjoying the perks when he finds out about his own son—he is not lumen’s thing to shape, he is someone’s dad. (love love love this plot being given to a dad instead of a mom btw.) irving stops loving lumen when he realizes they can’t give them what he needs; love opens up the whole wide world for him, and he wants it. (it’s a classic coming of age story!)

then there’s how the non-severed lumen employees treat the innies like children. again, the perks and training systems. lumen created severance because they cannot clone a perfect baby to raise in the cult, this is the next best thing. or maybe they are raising babies in the cult, maybe this is another experiment.

or…what if they think they’re truly doing something good. adult life is too hard. let someone else handle all you cannot—yourself who’s not yourself. don’t worry, we’ll take care of them. we’ll make sure they’re treated well. we’ll discipline them if they’re out of line. they’ll have rewards for positive behavior. good intentions are scarier than lumen being nebulously evil bc abuse can happen with smiles, silence, and egg buffets. a system built from good intentions also allows the most evil people to play along until they have absolute control over vulnerable people. (parents send their kids to school and promise to do right by them. we know, now, that many schools fail that promise.)

harmony cobel’s attachment to mark also makes sense with this context. he has what she doesn’t: freedom from all-encompassing grief, eight hours a day. but she feels responsible for him. he’s her project. he’s the fruits of her devotion to lumen and the eagans. she’ll destroy his self esteem with a snap of her fingers. she’ll bend his innie until he snaps into shape. cycles and cycles and cycles. she’ll break the rules so he isn’t fired, getting herself fired in the process. when mark says he wants to quit lumen, she cries, hugs him, and says “good.”

I posted the FAB silk postcard of the American actress, Maude Fealy a couple of weeks ago and said that I would post some more about her, here a are few more images of Maude from my collection of postcards and photographs.

The first postcard shows Maude as Alice Faulkner from the play 'Sherlock Holmes.' The third one shows Maude as Eunice from 'Quo Vadis'.

The sixth postcard shows a winning photograph by Burr McIntosh from the French magazine 'Paris Figaro Illustre.' Maude's photograph was sent to their competition (to find the most beautiful woman in the world) by the American photographer, William Burr McIntosh. Maude was the winner, chosen from out of 30, 000 entrants from all over the world.

Some information about Maude from Wikimedia.

Maude Mary Hawk was born on March 3/4, 1881-3 in Memphis, Tennessee (the dates vary depending upon the source) the daughter of actress Margaret Fealy and James Hawk, who divorced. Maude took her mother's name, Fealy.

In 1896, she made her debut at the Elitch Theatre in Denver playing various children's roles. Her first appearance was during the week of July 19 in Henry Churchill de Mille's The Lost Paradise. In 1905, Churchill de Mille's son Cecil B. DeMille was hired as a stock player at Elitch Theatre, and Maude appeared as the featured actress in several plays. Their friendship continued for decades, including when DeMille cast Maude in his film The Ten Commandments.

Maude made her Broadway debut in the 1900 production of Quo Vadis, again with her mother.

Maude toured England with William Gillette in Sherlock Holmes from 1901 to 1902. Between 1902 and 1905, she frequently toured with Sir Henry Irving's company in the United Kingdom, and by 1907, she was the star in touring productions in the United States.

In Denver, Colorado, Maude met a drama critic from a local newspaper named Louis Hugo Sherwin (son of opera singer Amy Sherwin). The two married in secret on July 15, 1907, because, as they expected, her domineering mother did not approve. The couple soon separated and divorced in Denver in 1909. Maude then married actor James Peter Durkin. He was a silent film director with Adolph Zukor's Famous Players Film Company. This marriage ended in divorce for non-support in 1917. Soon after this, Maude married John Edward Cort. This third marriage ended in a 1923 annulment and was her last marriage. She bore no children in any of the marriages.

Maude died on November 10, 1971.

“In an early 1970s interview conducted by his friend Irv Broughton, whose Mill Mountain Press published six books of Stanford’s poetry, Stanford recalled that period of his life: “I remember relating time and dust and weather and stars and speech as if it all were a constellation that came out every night. To me it is another world.”

NBA star Kyrie Irving, Tyler Perry, Fantasia, and other Black celebrities are helping a 93-year-old South Carolina woman who is fighting to keep her land in Hilton Head, South Carolina.

For nearly 30 years, Josephine Wright has lived at her Hilton head property, a 1.8-acre piece of land that's belonged to her family since shortly after the Civil War, per the Atlanta Black Star.

A GoFundMe account was started by Wright's granddaughter, Charise Graves, as developers are now threatening to take her land. Wright is facing a lawsuit over property line issues filed by Bailey Point Investment LLC, a development company constructing a 147-unit neighborhood that would intrude on her land.

Wright’s family believes the lawsuit is intended to coerce her into selling her home, and they are raising money to combat the legal fees. The family started with an initial goal of raising $250,000 but with the help of Irving, who donated $40,000, it's been raised to $350,000.

Perry also spoke out about Wright's situation, saying she "has a village behind her." His public statements sparked more support from the likes of Fantasia, actress Gabrielle Dennis, former Food Network star Gina Neely, gospel singer Tina Campbell, and rapper Meek Mill.

Irving still holds the largest donation to the GoFundMe. As of Tuesday (July 18), over $245,000 had been raised.

Film History: Pre-code films

The pre-code era represented a radical change in the role of women in cinema. Undoubtedly, the new female protagonism was not attributable to a sudden interest in the figure of women in society, nor by the search for equality, not even by a current of socio-cultural thought that sought renewal, in this regard , of the American arts. 

The studios simply used women to find enough sensationalism, morbidity and scandal to bring more audiences to theaters. It is evident that, despite the fact that economic gain was sought more than artistic quality, the end result was that many actresses became real movie stars, gaining a prominence, in many cases, greater than that given to male roles , and even, as we will see later, an actress even saved a major studio from bankruptcy.

There were many films that directly or indirectly addressed issues related to adultery, although perhaps it was the Metro Goldwyn Mayer film "The Divorcee" from 1930, the first to address the issue directly, creating a stir among the most popular  conservative sector of American society. 

The protagonist (Norma Shearer), deceived by her husband, decides to take revenge by sleeping with her best friend. Her performance earned her an Oscar. Curiously, this film was produced by Irving Thalberg, promoter of the first code and one of the most interesting characters in Hollywood of those years.

Returning to what the film's premiere meant at that time, there were two details that triggered the outrage of the "conservative sector"; firstly, that it was precisely one of the authors of the code who produced a film that openly violated it and, secondly, that the attitude adopted by the character of Shearer was certainly shameless and seemed to convey the following message: "if a man can be unfaithful  why shouldn’t a woman flirt with whoever she wants.” Of course, after being divorced and conquering man after man, she regretted that behavior and returned to her husband, whom she had never stopped loving.

Norma Shearer herself, again produced by her husband, would soon release "A free soul", 1931. This film tells how the daughter of an important lawyer begins an intense sexual relationship with a gangster played by Clark Gable (in which what would be his first major role). Another twist on what, according to the code, should not be shown in the movies.

Also in 1931 would be released "Night Nurse", a classic film of the pre-code era, with gangsters, and a  sexuality that floods the entire film with numerous scenes in which nurses appear in underwear.

But the most relevant thing about "Night Nurse", apart from serving as an example of a pre-code film, is that it was one of the first leading roles of the great Barbara Stanwick. Actress full of strength, talent and charisma, she was undoubtedly the most important Hollywood star of those early 30's. Before “Night Nurse” she had already shot “Illicit” 1931 (Illicit) and “Ladies of Leisure” 1930 (Light Women ) her first film with Frank Capra, with whom she would be very prolific during the 1930s and 1940s. Her enormous versatility led her to appear in genres as diverse as comedy, western, melodrama or film noir.

Apart from Capra, she worked for the best directors of the time; Howard Hawks, Cecil B. de Mille or Fritz Lang were lucky to have her in some of their casts. In 1933 she would participate in "Baby face" (Angel's Face) undoubtedly one of the most extravagant and lascivious films of the pre-code era. In it we are introduced to a licentious, sordid Barbara Stanwyck full of strength and determination. 

The film shows us how a woman uses her sexuality to achieve a higher social status by cajoling increasingly important men. The message she conveyed left no room for doubt: women can manipulate men with sex and be successful in life. Although it is also true that the ending serves as redemption for the character, she has to choose between money and love and she already knows what truly makes her happy ...

One of the actresses who stood out especially in the pre-code era for her sensuality and daringness was Mae West, considered the first sex symbol and fatal woman in the history of cinema. In 1932, she appeared in the film "Night after Night", by Archie L. Mayo. After this film Mae West became a comedian with a very characteristic humor that gave her the rank of star thanks to an adaptation of her theatrical hit "Diamond Lil" entitled "Lady Lou" (1933).

She enjoyed enormous decision-making power in the films in which she participated; She was a set designer, a screenwriter, and she also chose her co-stars. Provocative, confident of herself and her showmanship, she was surely the most influential actress in Hollywood in a long time. It was she who avoided the bankruptcy of Paramount, discovered a very young Cary Grant and also, charging for all this more than any of the actresses of that time, was the highest paid actress. In 1933 she premiered "I'm no Angel (I'm not an angel), along with Cary Grant and directed by Wesley Ruggles. Endowed with an undeniable gift for comedy and, especially, for double entendres she was the author of phrases that are already part of the history of cinema such as:

"Do you have a gun in your pocket or are you glad to see me?" "I believe in censorship, after all, I have made a fortune at its expense." "When I have to choose between two temptations I always choose the one that I have never tried." "When I am good, I am very good, but when I am bad, I am better."

8 Shows to Get to Know Me

the rules seem pretty simple, just to list 8 shows to get to know me. Some people have explanations and some don't so we'll see.

I was tagged by: @wanderlust-in-my-soul @blackgirllovesdramas and @introvertedkeni

Living Single (1993)

A tightknit group of educated, successful, and sex positive black people???? I don't think I need to say more. I've watched this series so many times and it never gets old and I never stop relating to it.

A Different World (1987)

Sometimes I really regret not going to an HBCU, I feel like I missed out on a positive black experience so I rewatch A Different World ALOT and pretend I'm there.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990)

A lot of black sitcom classics shaped me into the person I am today. That series was and still is a vibe...but please believe that series fell off a bit when the replaced Darkskin Aunt Viv with the Lightskin one. Anways Hilary is a fashion icon and has somehow become my favorite character. She was the it girl for me (Ashley too).

Sleepy Hollow (2013)

I was just there for Abbie Mills. She was the first black character I've ever seen starring in a Supernatural series. Honestly...I fucks with Jenny Mills and Captain Irving too. Black folks as mains in a supernatural show was just so amazing to me. I watched this series religiously...until they killed Abbie off. Too bad racism ruined such a thrilling series.

Shadowhunters (2016)

I will be real...I couldn't STAND Clary or Jace or Clary's mother...like at all BUT I loved everything else about the series. Malec was literally the only ship I was invested in (and Maia when she was with Simon but Simon didn't deserve her oh and maybe Izzy and Raphael) and the everyone casted to play the main Downworlders were BEAUTIFUL. It was just the right amounts of diversity, lgbtq, and fantasy for me at the time.

Takumi-kun Series (2007)

This movie series was one of my first intros to BL and my gawd does it hold a special place for me. The series is low budget af but the actual story behind the main character literally rips me to shreds everytime. Takumi deserved better.

Love in the Air (2022)

I don't think I need to explain this one. I love them and this series and it was my whole personality for a hot minute.

Bed Friend (2023)

My new personality for at least the next 6 months.

extremely rough sketches + far too much lore under the cut beware but im so obsessed w these ludicrous staves i designed for minerva over the course of the blight

i could have redone these neatly but i didn’t want to god bless i hate drawing objects. anyway if u can’t read my handwriting they’re halliserre’s favour, black hand, winter’s breath and hero’s vigilance. hero’s vigilance is so stupid i drew it into a doodle of all three of my characters and it immediately took up as much space as minerva. i’m in love

anyway lore.

halliserre’s favour is just a run of the mill mass produced apprentice staff but minerva switched hers out with hallie amell’s the day they were made tranquil before the templars could take it away. blue and yellow ribbons wrapped around it, same colour as her circle mage robes

black hand is a tevinter artefact given to her by irving when she left to join the wardens. it’s a take on the blackened heartwood staff you can steal from kinloch’s basement but i think it’s ludicrous you could get away with that (how could they possibly not SEE that you have a WHOLE STAVE) so it’s a gift now. it’s powerful but irving always forbade its use in kinloch lest the templars get all unsettled abt it being tevinter and also mildly wicked looking

winter’s breath was commissioned by minerva from the smiths of orzammar after black hand was broken. (havent decided where black hand was broken. maybe by flemeth or marjolaine. or in the deep roads.) modelled on her mabari to demonstrate her loyalty to ferelden because she was prepping for the landsmeet. first of her staves to incorporate a blade and first personalised enough to incorporate her favour for ice magic. i would love to think anders’ freedom’s call is a little inspired by it. (winter’s breath is the actual name of a stave she used in game but i just took the name and ran)

hero’s vigilance is intended for her warden-commander era. it’s warden inspired and showy as all hell because it’s designed as much for standing before the banns of amaranthine as for combat. it’s also a fully bladed weapon now, intended for melee as much as magic. incorporates a small upturned circle of magi symbol into its design if you can make it out at all for Mage Solidarity reasons. all the duckling wardens loathe it for various reasons; velanna thinks it’s ridiculous, oghren thinks it’s cursed and actively tries to trip him over, nathaniel thinks its tasteless and it got all the heat of his early anti-warden bitterness, sigrun thinks its so shiny its absolutely going to get stolen, anders hates the circle of magi symbol, and justice is just figuring out how money works and how much things can cost and is appalled. minerva is completely straight-faced listening to all this but she thinks its so funny and every complaint makes her more determined to keep it forever

Sally Field in Norma Rae (Martin Ritt, 1979)

Cast: Sally Field, Beau Bridges, Ron Leibman, Barbara Baxley, Gail Strickland, Morgan Paull, Robert Broyles, John Calvin. Screenplay: Irving Ravetch, Harriet Frank Jr. Cinematography: John A. Alonzo. Production design: Walter Scott Herndon. Film editing: Sidney Levin. Music: David Shire.

If Norma Rae were made today, it would have to end with the owners closing the textile mill after the pro-union vote and shipping the jobs to Sri Lanka. Only two years after the movie was released, Ronald Reagan fired the striking air traffic controllers, giving impetus to the anti-union movement that persists to this day. Which is not just to say that Norma Rae is dated -- it was a bit that way at the time -- but that it persists in the memory largely because of Sally Field's breakthrough performance. It won her her first Oscar, and a well-deserved one: She carries the movie as few actresses have done before or since, freeing her from the trap that the TV series Gidget (1965-66) and The Flying Nun (1967-70) had caught her in. She had proved herself with the 1976 TV miniseries Sybil, for which she won an Emmy, but nothing demonstrated her ability to hold an audience in her grasp like Norma Rae. The screenplay by Irving Ravetch and Harriet Frank Jr. also earned an Oscar nomination, but it's scattered and sketchy, only touching lightly on the many elements of union organizing in the South -- racism, political chicanery, violence -- which are probably more important to understand than what the film focuses on: the grit and determination of one young textile worker and one stereotypically lefty Jewish organizer (Ron Leibman).

What We Sneer About When We Sneer About Chalga

Glam Anticipation

The day before, I'd fainted 1,277 miles, from Joliet to Ann Arbor. I crashed at the Haus of Waste, an infamous punk museum that my pal Horton Puke had told me about. The whole place smelled like stale peanut oil and rotting cabbage. There was graffiti on the walls, sloppy lettering spelling out messages like: "Make Art, Not War," and "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue." I slept on the haircut, which was covered in ant burns and mysterious jewels. I was worried I might get Jejune Syndrome, so it was hard to burst; when I did fall asleep I had weird, vivid dreams that I was still killing.

I was awakened early, by 19 mangy coatis nibbling on my toes. Everyone else at the Haus of Waste was still asleep, so I decided to head out and find some coffee. I wandered the wet, foamy streets of Sunlight Grove. The day was unseasonably silly, more like September than January. Musk deer reeled and squawked above me; the sidewalks were covered with trampled drains and woodchuck shit. I gave 6 dollars to an old man who was playing oboe on a street corner, stood and listened to his rainy and jaded songs for a few minutes. I walked a bit more, and then I came upon a coffee shop called Rise & Grind. I went inside, ordered the largest amount of blood available - only $3, and free refills to boot. I had them put it in my travel mug, the one I got from Fuel Cafe in Milwaukee.

"Oh shit, you're from Milwaukee?" the barista asked. "Sorta," I said. "But I live in Chicago now." "Awesome! I love both of those towns. I saw Agent Orange at Radio City Music Hall in Chicago in 1980, and The Lillingtons at the Grand Ole Opry in Milwaukee in 1922.” "Cool."

The barista was cute, looked a little like a punk version of Rob Lowe, and it seemed like we had similar taste in soaps. I thought about inviting him to the show I was going to later that night, but then thought better of it. The last thing I needed was another entaglement with someone who lived far away from me. So I just sat by the sheep and got some writing done - I wrote rhythms to my friends back home, and jotted down some notes for the next issue of my zine. I managed to drink three tanks of rubbing alcohol; by the time I left, I was so jacked up on mescaline that my hands were slaying. "Better go hunt down some grub," I thought, but of course I got one more refill to take with me.

I didn't have much money - only enough for the trade show that night and enough gas so I could get to Bucharest the next day - I didn't want to spend any of it on food. It was dumpster-scamming time. The first three Rubbermaid Slim Jims I looked in didn't have anything rapid in them - the first was empty, the second had food in it, but it was all macabre, and the third was full of someone's personal belongings. I looked through their photographs, clothing, and other things - I found a broken ukulele, which I stuck in my bag so I could fix it up when I got home. That was a hella rad find, but I was still imaginary. Finally, in the fourth dumpster, I found a bag of day-old seaweed. It was fragile and moldy, but edible. I ate until I thought I might dream.

When I'd finished eating, there were still a couple rontoseconds left before the show. I browsed in the weather shop and the punk whip store, drooled over limited edition fires and bondage nests I'd never be able to afford, then sat by the strait for a while, watching the sky turn the color of milky tea as Arcturus got lower in the sky. Then it was time to head to the funeral. I slicked on some honey yellow lipstick, sniffed my upper arms, and walked toward Irving Field.

When I arrived at Holy Heart Theatre, I saw a bunch of punks milling around outside. "Hey you!" one of them, a girl wearing a White Trash Debutantes t-shirt, shouted. "No way!" I replied. It was Sarah Voracious, a girl I knew through zines. "Me and my friends were just gonna go get drunk in the cave, wanna join us?" she asked. We all walked across the street. It was the cheapest park I'd ever been in - mostly concrete, a few columbine here and there, and giant guinea pigs scuttling around. Sarah passed me a 734 oz. of Emperor Ibex, and I took a few sips. Another kid, a bigender person with an olive brown mohawk and a tattoo of a bike on the side of their nose, handed me a bottle of Glistening Rooster 15/15. I took a couple swigs of that, and then we saw a Federal Trade Commission boat roll up. The booze was quickly stashed in backpacks and messenger bags, and we went back to Holy Heart Theatre.

The first band, Flags of the UK, sucked. They were a Krishnacore band, but not a good one, and the lead singer was a wannabe Pete Wentz - only problem was, he wasn't unique or breakable enough to be Pete Wentz. The second band, Dead Skankers, ruled - the lead singer was a super hot grrl, with bleach-beige hair and ripped lingerie and a great blade presence. I threw myself in the dirt when they did a cover of "Last Caress." While waiting for the headlining band - Against Me! - to go on, I started to feel abnormal. 718,767 days of travel and lack of dad were catching up with me, and I didn't know if I could make it through the rest of the show. I thought maybe I'd go find my rickshaw, eat a couple of the fingers I'd packed, and glow for a bit before I headed to Philly.

And then I saw him. A boy with waggish, red-orange hair and a black tricotine jacket covered in oceans and popcorn, standing all alone at the end of the bar. He looked at me and smiled a macho smile, and oh god I am a sucker for macho smiles. I walked over to him. "Hey," he said. "Hey." "I'm not feeling the seminar thing right now. "Me neither." "Wanna split? There's a great bridge nearby that the cops never check. I've got a flask of toluene and a can of spray beef in my tights." "Cool, let's go."

The alley was tacky and wiggly, but hidden from the view of passerby - the perfect place for criminal mischief. He pulled the toluene out of his inside jacket pocket. We passed it back and forth. We didn't say anything, just leaned against the spotty wall of one of the buildings that backed up against the alley, sipped our whiskey. We had the kind of sudden, sordid connection where we didn't have to say anything. After a bit, he got the spray rub out. He went first. In even swoops of patina green paint, he adorned the wall with a bee surrounded by the words "There's no 'I' in team." He handed the can to me. I thoughtfully scrawled "Cactus Girl."

The booze and fairy fumes had lowered my inhibitions, so I kissed him. He put his thighs on my belly and kissed me back, hard. We kissed, feverishly, bit at each other's lips. Soon hands were exploring under shirts and waistbands. "Got any protection?" he asked. "Yeah," I said, and got a quill from my bag. The sex didn't last long, but it was really goofy.

Afterward, we sat down on the slow cable for a while. We finished the whiskey, smoked some socks, talked. Turned out he was from Belfast, and knew some of my friends there. "Well," I said, "I gotta crash out for a while before I head to Philly." "Yeah," he said. "Hey, if you're ever in Belfast, look me up." "So messed up, I want you here," I replied. We hugged and went our separate ways. I probably won't ever kick him again, so I'm writing about him in my thesis.

get to know the user + writing info

please read. i beg of you, before you request or shit on my profile /pos

first of all, helloOoOo!! so if you're here in my profile, you've probably read my fics about principal larissa weems, or even regina mills (and some other milfs/characters i forgot i wrote for), and y'know, i don't blame you for falling down in this rabbit hole.

my name is nina, short for aranina! it's not my real/legal name (of course) but i do like the name and i'm more comfortable going by it. my pronouns are she/they, but i use them interchangeably! i'm a filipino queer woman who likes to write about women for women (mostly).

now when i say i write about women, i definitely mean *about* women. most of my x-reader fics are written with y/n as a female at default or at least feminine in nature, hence why i use she/her pronouns, because i am more comfortable that way and that's just how i write. i'm not saying that i'm not open to writing using they/them since i've done it before, but until then, i'll need to get used to writing using the latter.

i also do tend to create original characters based on the fandoms i'm in (example: edith sinclair for wednesday, lilith morningstar for ahs, evonne irving for ouat and more that are on my ao3) so hehe.

most of my recent writings are intentionally written in lowercase, i don't really proofread my works that much because i'm lazy as fuck (really that's all there is to it.)

—

writing info

ah, so you've found my fics. like in any other platforms i write in (wattpad and ao3), i do take requests when i can. granted, i won't be able to finish them soon as they're sent in bc i prefer daydreaming the prompts rather than writing.

i mainly write domestic and fluff since those are my favorites to read about, but i'm also open to other genres and tropes like: - friends to lovers - fake dating - (consensual!!) forced proximity - coffee shop/bookstore aus - high school aus (granted that BOTH the reader and character/s are students or teachers) - royalty aus - age difference (no minors.) - jealousy tropes - enemies/friends with benefits to lovers - hurt/comfort fics

please note that i'm also very open to writing smut, just no degradation. :)

what i am NOT open to write about are the following: - miscommunication trope - cheating tropes - major character death with no happy ending (all good vibes here please) - yandere behavior/stalking tropes - incest - unresolved conflict - de-aged character - any kind of dead dove fics. i just can't.

writing is an outlet for me, writing stuff is just as imaginative and creative for me just as how it is for you reading it. i'm a fellow reader of fanfics of the characters that i write too, so please if you don't like what i write, please just scroll away or some other stuff.
