#getting even more niche and local with some niche local lore #apologies. in light of recent concerns i figured i needed a separation of church (tumblr linked to my ao3)#and state (public facing twitter and youtube i almost never use)#personal

#actually i think baz should stay for perchance another year #but it's been a top tier funeral up in my top 10 funerals of all time #cricket

stokes retired, ireland series win, australia knocks india out, daz 200 ball century, stokes opening, half the nz bowlers injured

we didn't start the fire

#most normal day of cricket

woah woah woah woah woah a new username!!!!!! what's the lore behind this one hehe please drop the lore idc how niche it is #ICare 🙂‍↕️

LMFAOOOOO i only changed it since i realised this tumblr is what i use to get readers from ao3 over and it was the same as my public twitter so uh. with the unwanted wave of rpf in public spaces i thought i'd rectify that some more 😬

very silly lore LOL so in australia white ibises are called bin chickens bc they're like your typical stray bird getting into people's trash but they're still a beloved native species and the suburb i live in has a whole island just covered in them lol. i do miss home

#shoot the breeze #hazlehoff #personal #i do lock my fics but that never stopped interviewers from passing them along to the ferrari guys apparently so.#we're a niche bunch here and i don't write anything particularly explicit but eye AM paranoid and i love queering narrative

I have a word, how about "curls"

you're a real ball knower (curl knower) there's a couple instances but i decided to switch to the deleted scenes document for some #variety:

He would’ve waited in the T3 pickup lane, but didn’t want to attract attention when he got up to greet the arrival from Perth he was waiting on properly. The slightest scrape of a trolley across the gungy concrete parking lot had his ears pricking up, so he practically stumbled out of the door when one finally loomed into the frame of his windshield, and a beaming smile under blond curls poked out from behind the red-blue-and-gold kitbag balancing on suitcases.

what about "care" :]

heehee thanks soha! it's funny you thought this was too vague a word but my lovely friend ctrl+f kept throwing up every instance of "carefully" so it actually isn't that vague at all LOL. but i do love the actual answer:

“You remember the last Thunder-Heat game, where you did beat us… and I called you from the Sydney Test?” Nathan said yes. “Well, you know why I called the first time. But I wasn’t gonna forget why I was there. That I owed that much to you, and it would all mean nothing if you hadn’t been there before me. And maybe I’m the only one who sees it that way, but I don’t care. I’ve been seeing it that way ever since and I can feel myself get better because of it. And I love you more and more for it.” He heard the smile return manifold to Sam’s voice. “It’s always you, skip.”

#my toxic trait is never being able to write single sentences of context sorry #shoot the breeze #starrysshi #merri writes #cricket rpf #sweenstas

lemme try again okay what about "arrogant"

i swore i had used this and turns out i was almost right, the instance was arrogance so i'm using that instead:

He was everything Nathan knew he could’ve never been at twenty. But he also knew his self-important, paradoxically insecure twenty-year-old self would’ve mistaken that flippance for arrogance, would’ve never given Sam the time of day. Not when that attention had been going to—

thanks for the ask anon! we're really trying here, i do seem to repeat a lot of words but not the correct ones clearly LOL

#had to include more than one sentence for a smidge of context #shoot the breeze #Anonymous #merri writes #cricket rpf

the word is "ethereal" pls and thank you send forth the sentence

congrats anon on finding the one word i have never used LMFAOOOOO i'm so serious i even ctrl+f'd the word files of my published stuff and never found it once!! i'm not sure if this says more about my mostly no-frills writing style, my head-empty-no-thoughts protagonists, or both

#shoot the breeze #Anonymous #merri writes #the fun thing about writing jocks is they really aren't overthinking this stuff. they're just in situations with their kissable bros #also im not calling either of these bitches ethereal. they're australian
