the nhl fan experience has gotten catastrophically and astronomically bad for me personally in less than a week (see: red wings fan, oilers fan, Woman). I gotta be honest, I love this blog and the community here, but I am not feeling the same about the sport that I used to. if I’m honest I haven’t for a while.

so, even though I’ve already been barely here, I’m formally announcing an unofficial hiatus. I’ll still be around lurking here and there but I need a minute and by a minute I mean at least 3-6 months.

love y’all

[comphy-and-cozy]

everybody who isn’t a wings fan mind ya business. this is a family matter please give us privacy.

the setting is also a character. many do not know this but its true. it has a history and a future and often an arc of its own, and the other characters all have personal relationships with it

[bowditch]

this is why college, modern, bakery, flower shop, fantasy, post apoc, etc etc AU is either boring af to me or one of the best stories in a fandom. the thing that makes or breaks the story is whether or not the setting change is treated with the weight of a Character-- how does it impact characters and still keep them recognizable? it's like you've given everyone a new bestie or enemy and they all have to live with it. how does it shape them and change them? what parts survive? what parts of them impact the setting?

bob mckenzie's chapter about connor got reposted on reddit and it's just soooooooooooooooo... he's insufferable actually.

how are you this insane and so successful at watering it down.

There's something very 1970s horror movie about this, like a possession. Where the mother feels that there's something wrong with her child, deep inside, and yet the entire world ignores her warnings and her appeals because it results in something the world values, i.e. hockey success. 

Like, her child was in DISTRESS, and she wanted to do something about it but everyone was like, "This Seems Fine.”

Feeling inspired... Might put off writing and think about it the whole time

“Your days are numbered” yeah it’s called a calendar you fucking idiot.

I'm seeing warnings about scammers trying to commission artists but the "reference sheet" for their character they want commissioned isn't an image but a .vbs file ("visual basic script"), and will run a script when you open it, probably to yoink your account(s), but I haven't seen this from anyone who's actually clicked it yet. Just be careful and never open a file like that, 'cause people suck.

[thereisselfpreservation]

For reference (heh)

At a glance, file name checks out. But!! Do not open a .vbs file!!!

[stormsies]

goodness gracious

Something so funny about rereading one's own unfinished fics. Like wow this is pretty good! Almost as if it was written exactly according to what I personally like in fact! Someone should finish it!
