I don't need therapy I need rabid gay people freaking out in my inbox

The real problem with books-turned-movies isn’t “omg they didn’t include every single word in the book” it’s “omg they completely overlooked the main theme, threw out any significant allegories, took away all the emotional pull, an turned it into a boring action movie with a love triangle in it”

honestly yeah, fiber arts is magic. you cast spell of warm gloves, spell of nice hat, spell of stuffed animal.

material component: yarn

wand: single hooked wand or double pointed wands, depending on caster's preference

mechanical component: specific motions repeated in a particular pattern

time component: a while

look seriously the first step in a knitting recipe is "cast on", and then it's a bunch of letters and numbers incomprehensible to anyone not versed in the arcane art. that's a spellbook. yes it's a book of knitting patterns but also. it's a spell book.

oh and people who write fanfics are not "less talented" than people who write original works as their main source of income, by the way. fanfic writers aren't "all children going through a phase". they're writers who put in time, efforts and dedication just like any other writers, the only difference is that, instead of making their writing a career to earn themselves money, they write for free, out of pure passion, because they love the characters they're writing about so much that they're writing novel-length fics about them. you look uneducated af by using "fanfic writer" as an insult to imply fanfic writers aren't as valid or talented as writers who earn money from their works, especially when I've read so many fanfics that are a lot better and more professionally written than some best-selling books out there.

I really wanted to use my maternity leave for writing. But before birth I’ve been just a bit to tired and now I’m very busy with this little wonderful Human I’ve created ❤️

opening up my own fanfiction document on my personal laptop to see if the author has updated it yet

Should have said „yes“ when my boss asked me if I want to stop working when I told him I‘m pregnant. So I would sit at home, well payed thanks to the German health system, and would have time to write instead of still working.

Reading Murtagh feels like coming home.

Also my work Bestie was like „don’t do this ever again to me“ today before she told me all the new gossip. I really love her.

Still living. Life is been rough these days, nearly lost my dad in a motorbike accident and I’ve been ill last week. But now i am back to work and my dad is recovering so maybe I will finalise the new chapters for both my stories this week.

Today was not a good day at work.

It's so hard to remain positive when so many people want to tear your hard work down.

We try so hard but to some people it's never good enough. I wish they'd stand a minute in our shoes.

This!

Mental Health regarding work this week is the lowest it has ever been. So many dead, so much people being rude, so much workload. I’m actually running on the few nice customers words.

I may be complaining about the Eragon books during this reread a lot but I'm also beginning to understand where autistic Eragon headcanons come from and let me just say I support those wholeheartedly.

[ladyliesbeth]

I loved and hated my last reread. I hated how whiny and young Eragon is, not managing to grow up despite what happens to him. Especially in the second book I thought about quitting my reread.

But in the third book you get badass Roran and his way more badass Cathrina. When I first read the book I hated the interruption his parts gave, now I love these parts. I love the Urgals and how Eragon needs to overcome his picture of them, admitting they aren’t as bad as he always thought. He starts to grow up at that book.

When I first read the last book I hated it for being the fulfilment of all my fan-Theories and not as plot twisty as I wanted it. But reading it as a grownup I came to admire Nasuada for the strength she has and Murtag for finding his own kindness despite the past he had, despite how broken he had been. I love the tragic of the love stories (because that’s what live gives you sometimes: the right person but not the right time). I love Eragon finally growing up and realising what hurts someone the most and using it against the king.

Update from the cats: they are getting along very well now, filling our home with cuteness and fluff.
