Seems that this blog had indeed been blocked from tumblr searches and tags 🙄 you’d think a blog that exists since 2011 would be cherished but apparently nah.

Anyway, I’ll slowly be transitioning to @erajmcouts (yes, I switched the user names). If you could follow me there, it would be awesome.

Thank you 🙏♥️

Waiting Between Worlds: Sakura (full image on AO3)

Waiting Between Worlds

“The war was over but there was no sudden happiness. Their problems didn’t disappear, their trauma didn’t disappear, and the political landmine of the post-war relations didn’t suddenly solve itself. In a perverse, twisted way, the post-war was harder than the war itself.

Anbu offered an exit. A broken, temporary solution. A way to erase the emotional pain.

Ten years later, they’re deeply entwined in the reality of life politics and the hard choices of a grey world.

But Sakura has a goal, Hinata has a plan, Ino has a mission.And they’re done waiting.”

A Big Gay Market Event Report!

Yesterday, Duck Prints Press owner Claire, author Catherine, and Claire’s mom attended A Big Gay Market in Washington Park in Albany! The weather was honestly dismal, and the event organizers ultimately ended the market after only one of the scheduled 4 hours. We stuck it out as long as we could and stayed for about half the planned time, and I’m glad we did! The few shoppers who came by were lovely, and we had a really good day. Honestly, despite the cold and wet, we have no complaints, and we’re already looking forward to the next time A Big Gay Market will be held, in April of 2024. (Though hopefully they’ll find an indoor venue next time!)

A few shout-outs to people we met!

Fashion A-Fare Boutique: they had some awesome, fun merch – I especially loved the Barbie movie inspired earrings and the d6 earrings (I want to get a pair for my wife!).

Art.with.a.Waddle: super cute art and penguins. How can one possibly go wrong??? Bonus, the owner Zoë was dressed up as Tony Tony Chopper (vendors were encouraged to wear Halloween costumes).

Adirondack Crystalry and The Artful Woods: these two cool folks were sharing a cozy-looking booth! I especially noticed the Crystalry’s cool wands and the wood-cut earring rainbows with dangling crystals at The Artful Woods.

Fawnduu: she had me at “lesbian cowboys.”

Bonus, I ran into Calivarn from Eclectic Arts again! At Fandom Fest, they were across the path and just to the right of my booth…and yesterday…they were across the path and just to the right of my booth! It’s nice to go to local events and start meeting the same people multiple times. <3 I’d hoped to run into the lovely folks from Pastel Prince, too, but the weather was so bad that I didn’t get to explore the whole market before it closed, so I only got to pass by maybe a quarter of the vendors.

My only purchase for the day was these two cuties:

I picked out the bee for my son, and the trans-flag caterpillar for my daughter. Unfortunately, I foolishly didn’t catch the name of the creators! I’m so frustrated with myself, it means I can’t shout about how lovely they were (and one of them was dressed as a mushroom and it was a.dor.a.ble). So, if you are or know the creators of these precious stuffies that my kids love, please tell me so I can sing their praises by name!!! (They might have been Honey Strands Crochet? I’m looking through the vendor list and trying to figure it out.)

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out, and whether you came or not, we hope to see you at A Big Gay Market next time!

It me. I'm owner Claire. And I appear to have caught a nasty cold and even tho I know this isn't how virology works I'm blaming the rain. 🤣

The fact that it’s Spooky Time again and I’ve not seen this post so had to go back through my archives to find it, is hurtful.

Good news! It gets worse!

I think it's the galactic orbit thing that really did me in

[oknowkiss]

look i’ve got a cat falling asleep on my lap so i am not gonna belabor the point, but it really bums me out to see the language of commodification sneaking casually into fanfiction spaces.

i see it a lot on Twitter: well-meaning people talking about how we need to stop treating fic like a product, to stop finding ways to monetize fandom (all extremely valid points!) who then turn around and say that this impacts the consumption of fic.

maybe the cat in my lap or the breeze in my hair is making me romantic, but i would love to see fic removed from the vocabulary of capitalism entirely. the intent in these arguments people are making around commodification is 100% correct, but fanfiction isn’t a product to be consumed, and i personally want to challenge myself to be more aware of the language we use around it.

because fic is a labor of someone’s love to be enjoyed. to be cherished. to be slurped up under the covers like a noodle with a kiss at the end.

what could be more of a middle finger to big capitalism than to say: hey i made this, and i am giving it away for free, because i don’t think you, dear reader, should have to earn pleasure. so to that i say, please don’t consume my fics. read them or don’t, enjoy them or don’t, but please don’t consume them.

Still Waters Run Deep by @andtheheir

Anyone who has read my Haikyuu works knows my undeniable OTP is IwaOi. Period.

And yet, here I am with an UshiOi as my favourite HQ fic.

I re-read this on Friday and, this time, the stars burning bright in Oiwaka's fingertips transferred to mine and I had to put something on paper.

@andtheheir , thank you for these two stories * I couldn't love them more.
