It’s less what is on my bookshelf than how the books are organised that’s the most telling. For example, there is a cluster of nautical books, fiction and non fiction: there’s Patrick O’Brian and Frederick Marryat and a bunch of local authors and historians. And in the middle of all these is The Fandom of the Operator. I’ve got Harlan Ellison right next to The Flight of the Heron next to my hardback copy of Monstrous Regiment. Sartre and Camus and Frankenstein in Baghdad and The Dream of the Celt. And it just goes on like that.

#I’ve tried okay?#the only thing that kind of makes sense is my copy of Kidnapped next to a book on the Stevenson Lighthouses and the family that made them #I should never have bought a bookshelf #to be fair it is MOSTLY sorted by topic #it’s just sometimes I think the topics pair well or are similar enough to a completely different book #Kafka right next to this set of post apocalyptic comedy comic books is.#mm.#I don’t have a very large bookshelf though #whatever doesn’t fit on the shelf goes on an old shoe rack which is also my linens cupboard #although I will NOT break up the Time Travellers Almanac and Night Watch and Les Mis #those three need to be together #anyways

Oh shit, a new Jeeves exclamation mark to add to my Jeeves exclamation mark collection! I only had three! I completely forgot about this one, or more likely never saw it because I listened to the audiobook.

So that’s four exclamation marks I know of so far, three of which occur in the context of Jeeves trying to get a potential fiancée away from Bertie. Much to think about

#jeeves doesn’t use exclamation marks for nothing #so when he does we must consider the implications #i think i made some attempt to search the text but this is the sort of thing that’s hard to search for #so as an audiobook listener there may be more that i missed #for those wondering the other three are:#1. jeeves takes charge: he’s trying to convince bertie that he wouldn’t be happy with florence #2. jeeves and the yuletide spirit: bertie is demanding to know why he's being such a bitch about bobbie wickham and jeeves snaps at him #3. aunts aren’t gentlemen: some shenanigans are going on with a cat and they urgently need to take action #and now there’s this one where they’re discussing the impending threat of marriage together #//#letters regarding jeeves #jeeves and wooster #jeeves books #carry on jeeves #without the option

wait hi hello what the frick is this star wars au you talked about i must know immediately

Ok so it’s not very well fleshed out, but the premise is SOMEHOW Obi-Wan was the one who went dark side instead of Anakin (don’t ask me how, idk. Maybe it was to protect Anakin from going down that path) and the Republic falls and the Purge happens.

Anyhoo, Anakin thinks Padmé died and Padmé thinks Anakin and everyone else died and is now in hiding. Meanwhile Anakin and Ahsoka have fucked off into hiding together and are just two siblings struggling for survival.

One day Anakin breaks down and spills everything to Ahsoka - the secret marriage, the pregnancy, everything - and they grieve together. Eventually somehow they end up on Bracca and find a little Cal and are like “well, new brother I guess” and adopt him. Maybe they even run into the Bad Batch.

#would obi-wan ever go sith? no. would he do almost anything to protect Anakin? yes #I just need disaster big brother anakin looking after two kids #you just know those three would cause SO MUCH trouble together #Star Wars #ask #anakin Skywalker #ahsoka tano #cal kestis

girl math is making $670 for the week and then spending $650 of it on a credit card bill and now you're excited because you made a profit of $20 in your bank account and $650 more of free money

#this is a joke i am not excited #i am very much in pain #we cope with laughs #i hate the gauntlet of holidays and special occasions from december through to march #it's christmas then it's new years then it's valentine's and my husband and i's anniversary merged together and then it's my bday #all of that's done with now but both our wallets are hurting lmao #and worse yet i still can't even catch a break because now i need to prepare for conventions and tax season #at least one of those expo's will definitely pay for my taxes #and i'm thankful this year i have three to attend so i get to actually earn money from them LOL #but man the winter season this year was one of the worst i've ever seen for tattooing #it's starting to get a little bit back to normal now but i'm still on edge because it could go back to being dead again at any moment #i got this #i just wish i could breathe lmao

yk. the resistance ppl have to so much as considering the idea that mike might not jump to immediately and enthusiastically engaging in obvious n indisputably gay shit with will publicly is kinda funny in a puzzling way when season three and season four, where he does exactly that the entire way through, are literally right there for us all to watch on netflix.com. like. Okay ❤️

#i get not liking angst. but it's not an insane idea. do you think it's a coincidence that mike quit touching will after season two? do you #think it was just for shits and giggles when he stopped himself from hugging will and put distance between them by ''bro''-ing #out and maintained that energy throughout the entire rest of the season until he finally got over it because he realized they were #in danger and will really needed his support? do i need to remind anyone of his season three + ongoing arc and the iconic legendary #lucas look my arm and it's not my fault you don't like girls moments?#no one HAS to write or entertain those ideas but to act like it's INSANE when we've seen him do literally just that already......#we all know mike's got a mean bite and that he is absolutely losing the fight rn to conformity like 😭 huh..#like even in AU contexts that gets thrown out as being preposterous. since s3 will has been the one trying to ''fight'' for #their friendship and in s4 we see him initiating contact and getting rebuffed so it's just like . dsfhbjkjhbdfkjhsbdkjfhbdkj #like do u get what i mean. why do people act like it's crazy that he'd ever be hesitant why is that never considered for even a second #why is will the one that's written as being resistant in every way!!!!!!#anyway. clasps my hands together. I Love Yelling At Clouds #byler #mine

NEW CHAPTER FROM SKYE “IM NOT POSTING ON FRIDAY” SILVERSKYE

STANDS ON MY SOAPBOX. SCREAMS

Constantly being reminded of how well you write fight scenes. Eating them up like cookies. The lights and the movement and the sounds all come to me so vividly and it makes me SO happy.

What an excellent chapter what a way to make me cry

As it turns out, I am not a knight! So I am allowed to lie :) just a little, as a treat, sometimes

I am sorry for the tears! But! Thank you for your kind words! I have! So much fun! Writing fight scenes! They are so so cool and important and fun, and are awesome literary tools when I can poke and prod them into the right places.

#wooshofficial #rns asks #goshgoshgosh #been trying to pin this one down like an eel in my hands for a long time #i mean -- a relatively short time given i started actually writing it two weeks ago #but a long time in my head #i make these like... anchor point scenes #in my brain #and i go 'okay i need xyz to happen before this because this is where its important'#and then those anchor point scenes are all xyz's leading to like... the story climax #arcs i talk about fucking arcs all the time #but thats really what it feels like #it feels like im throwing strings around a pillar #and after i make enough loops ill braid it into a strand #and then ill set that braid aside and start again #and eventually ill have three big braids and ill braid those togethee #and whatever that finished thing is. thats the story #and hopefully it looks pretty all tied together #but if it doesnt #at least the smaller braids were nice #i dont know man its 2am im tired

I don't know what's been going on with me recently but like...there's this tiny shred of guilt that I'm not doing anything really engaging on here anymore? Like, my creative block is fading out (finally), but I haven't drawn or written anything substantial recently and I feel really weird about that. Not just for you all looking at my blog, but also just in a creative bust kind of way.

There are ideas and themes and such that I would love to play with or dabble in, but I keep stopping them because they're either too self indulgent or there's no visual work to go with it. I don't really know how to describe it? Like I feel like I've been lazy creatively speaking recently when I COULD be getting more ideas out, but it's about the same ship all the time and idk, I also feel like I've gotten to the point where I'm talking too much again? Not that anyone here has made me feel like that and I have asks that I need to answer so I KNOW I'm not talking too much but I'm!!!! Being splashed with the self conscious and self critical and imposter syndrome buckets and I need them to stop!!!!

#toast talks #Not necessarily meant to be a vent so I'm not putting it in my vent tag but!#The save to draft button has become my best friend LOL #Idk it's just that weird feeling that settles in whenever I realize that I haven't actually finished anything and then whenever #I'm asked about eclairette specifically I always have the hardest time answering some questions!#And it's like...I know their story? But I also don't? Because it's just in fragments all over my brain that change sometimes?#And then I get sucked into aus because I love the ideas of aus and seeing characters in different situations #but then I worry that maybe I'm not presenting the characters well enough? Or maybe I'm getting too self indulgent in everything I do?#WHICH ISN'T BAD AT ALL I JUST. My brain. It does things and makes me overthink the most basic enjoyments I have.#And part of me feels like this would be solved if I had more ships but like...idk. I do/did have other ships but eclairette just.#They feel right to me. They're like...a comfort ship now? Idk. Their story is fun and enjoyable to me and even their noncanon lore is #fun for me to run through my head on end.#Hmmm. I think my brain has just been in a weird spot recently and it's because creative juices are pumping but I have not done a creative #in...three months?#Good lird I need to at least doodle them again -#btw still not a vent! Just sorting my brain out and trying to see what it's got going on and what it wants cause??? Get it together girl #We've got lore to make. Canon and otherwise.#If you got this far I love you. If you didn't get this far I love you. I need those blue bitches to do SOMETHING soon.#''they should do each other'' true and correct. But that will have to wait. We gotta get lore written down first!

HuaYinXuan? HuaYinXuan…

Platonic or romantically, those three are stuck in my head

(Idk if that’s even their ship name or not, but sometimes I am unhealthy when I think about them)

June Writing Wishlist

Finish something for each of the unfinished Chesterton Challenge prompts (current plans are for two pieces of flash fiction, a bit of Arateph worldbuilding, and two scenes from Shadowstruck)

Write at least 10,000 words of a single project (or, possibly, divide it up between two shorter retellings)

#adventures in writing #this is probably absurdly ambitious #given that i'm trying to write half as many stories as i wrote all last month #you know my most ambitious writing month ever #plus write more words than i've written on any story in years #but there's a reason this is a wishlist instead of a goal list #after a month of a bunch of little pieces i'd really like to sink into one longer work #i've got two main contenders at the moment #but i do also want to write those pieces i couldn't get to at the end of may #maybe if shadowstruck comes together better than expected i could expand it so it fills both goals #since i have the short ideas in place i'm hoping those would take no more than a week #and since the longer works are things i've been building for years #it's possible the writing could go faster than it did when i was trying to brainstorm tons of different ideas all at once #just dive into writing instead of needing to do all the brainstorming #also on top of all this i've got two or three shorter summertime retellings that are demanding attention #but there's no way i could hit all three goals #which is why i have a second option for 2 #we'll see how it goes

A collection of things I’ve screamed into the void with mild hope that the void would scream back (it did. on several of these)

I am so sorry but every single word uttered here is canon to YLS’s already insane lore. yes even the one about Jack Skellington. yes even the one about Dimentio. yes even the one that ties into MSM/TBoCI. yes ESPECIALLY the one about Captain Barnacles.

#alsooo the world talked about in the second one is about my friend’s story :)#thats a thing too. its pretty great actually but you cant find it online yet :(#hershel’s octonauts au #sighs. yeah okay for the shits and giggles i’ll tag those characters #jack skellington #dimentio #the ballad of cold island #captain barnacles #real talk i miss kane rn.. i need to. like. redesign every tboci character ever #i wanna include them in yls somehow but in their current states HAHHAHAH no #i knoowwwww i shouldn’t but uuuuaaauuuuuauuuuagh. they’re such good characters #they’re just trapped rn…… sighs #ANYWAAYYYS silon’s uncontrollable therapist rizz is the funniest part of yls canon #it’s BECAUSE of his uncontrollable therapist rizz that rosemary has two siblings #and that her dad’s becoming a better person #and that barnacles has contact with boogie at all #and that. checks notes. jack skellington almost adopted three total children #i feel like a lot of the weird side things wouldn’t have happened if #silon and arbre mort didn’t get together that one time #obviously the MAIN PLOT would have still happened. looks at professor inkling and his amnesiac boyfriend.#but viktor would have never been kidnapped. boogie would have never gotten onto the new red crab.#and funniest of all JESTER YAOI WOULD HAVE BEEN CANON. WE WERE ROBBED /hj #i’m funniest on discord #subtle advert for the server. hahahahaha.#OKAY POST THE DAMN THING

Still haven't messaged my mom back. And I don't think I'm going to.

#you know how they say time makes you look on the past with nostalgia and that's why elderly people think so fondly of past decades? not me #there are moments I look back on with nostalgia sure but the overwhelming feeling of looking back on my childhood is just whatever I do #wherever I go whatever happens that will not be my life again. my memory is long I made a promise to myself I intend to keep I don't forget #support you having your grandkids if their mother is deemed unfit yes. take the older two myself if it comes to it yes. move provinces to #live with you to look after the five of them together where you would be my only adult connection and there's a language barrier and I have #no work history and I'd be between five hours and nine hours away from any other connection I have answer's an absolute fucking no. I've #seen how you are with my sister how you were with my brother. who do you think they call when they've had enough of you? do you not #remember most of the beatings I took was because I was standing between you and my brother? of course not because according to you you #never did beat me but if you think I'm not aware that would turn on me again the second I'm no longer distant and just visiting if you #think you'd find nothing to complain about because you've built up this golden child ideal of me in your head and want to forget how it was #when I was actually in your care you are very very wrong. I remember. I know that inconveniences a lot of people who want to forget #unpleasant things about themselves. me too to be honest I have memories I wish I could erase but I can't especially with regard to my #sister. I defended my brother but not her. not enough. and it's probably why I give so much to her now more than I should because it's #enabling but it is what it is I guess. I won't use my memories against anyone just for the sake of it but I absolutely fucking will #to protect myself or others. you want a redemption arc without admitting to anything? keep being patient and kind towards #your grandchildren even if you end up having to take them and if you can't do it for all five of them then accept that it's better for the #older two to be with me. that's it. those are your options: the older two are with me so you only have to look after the younger three or #you need to buckle down and learn from your past mistakes to look after the five of them and all that is *if it even comes to that* which #as things are it's not in danger of that! it was a regular fucking visit to monitor the situation that's all; they're not getting taken #literally every time she freaks out about something it's a 50/50 chance it's actually something or she's invented a completely #twisted version of events

I just looked at the price on the back of a book I’ve had for a bit over a decade and it was four. fucking. dollars. Just four with no taxes. No extra 97cents or something before taxes. Just a round number that you would add taxes to.

I googled the price of a new edition and it was almost thirteen! Not an even thirteen, it was like 12.96 or something. Close enough that it’s basically thirteen but if you’re adding multiple items together to try and get the price on a purchase with more items it would add more confusion.

#emma posts #it was also a bit difficult to find a new copy on my phone #the edition I have was selling for wildly varying prices as a vintage book now #but that’s just a kids chapter book from a fairly large publisher #I know inflation happens and stuff but holy shit #buying things at the book fair makes so much more sense now #I bought that for 4$ plus taxes at the schoolastic book fair #it was maybe 12 years ago?#I could look at the publishing date for a better idea #the series had just switched publishers and the first few were being re-released at the time #before the new publisher and the author finished the series #four dollars though #I had to check the book because I know the current price of many paperbacks and I knew that series was still in print #but what lead to this was the price tag falling off an old brush I found from like. 2009 or 2010 #and the tag on this very large brush was seven dollars #which seemed cheap so I looked at current brush prices online but since the exact same brush isn’t being sold and brush prices vary more #it was a bit harder for me to get an idea of it. books though. books I know #I’ve even bought stuff from that publisher recently (they have a lot of novel and comic translations)#but it also struck me how the old price tag was an even four and an even seven dollars but all new ones had 97 or 98 cents #that ten dollars from helping out grandma wouldn’t have even gotten me one book with modern prices #but back then I could get TWO #even just seven could have gotten me a book and some fun school supplies back then #to have that experience now you would need to give your kid a 20$#I understand inflation okay? I am just taken off guard rn and having realizations #I’m going to add to this post again. when I say wildly varied vintage prices I mean WILDLY varied #one dude was trying to sell it on Amazon for 55$ but on eBay it was 4 to 5$#I bought the next three books in the series from that same print. signed. for 13$ together #I had older editions of those and wanted a full series of just the ones that were being re-released during my reading time
