I need to write fanfiction. How do I make an AO3 account.

[neocute1]

Sneak peak 👀

[neocute1]

So uh...

About that "only 625 words written" thing...

I may have gotten inspired after I finished my second reread of IOL and WitM. Minor plot holes of [filler] stuff aside because I can't remember all the specific details of TWTBD, it's coming along quite nicely.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go work on that.

[neocute1]

So I may have almost doubled it once again. I may have almost quadrupled my word count in one day. And I may be considering writing more before finally giving in to sleep.

What can I say? I'm inspired.

Also the point I expected it to end at was not where I'm ending it. I have reached that point and gone past. I may have two big blank spots where I skipped ahead because I had good ideas for what was going to happen but not quite how to get there but it's chuggin along. I think I know where to end it so it doesn't get too terribly out of hand. If I get hit with inspiration again however, who am I to say no?

[neocute1]

Hey so I got hit with horrific burnout because of having to write on a deadline and I'm finally wanting to read and write for fun again. This may be coming soon...

update on this from my (now former) roommate:

What, the forest-dwelling entities with imperfect human mimicry who insinuate themselves into groups of hikers? Yeah, we had one of those. Clocked it immediately, of course. Honestly it kind of fell in that so-inept-it's-kind-of-charming range. We just played along until it'd had it's fill of marshmallows and shambled back into the treeline. We might have been violating some kind of killjoy wildlife contact best practices but what the hell, can't plan around every little thing. Why, what happened to you guys

[eikotheblue]

these tags are gold omg

[rhysintherain]

It's a misconception that the mimics are hunting humans when they trail along at the back of hiking groups.

In fact, the creature you'll find suddenly walking beside you and acting as if they've always been there is almost certainly a juvenile, as the adults lose the ability when they reach reproductive age.

Recent studies suggest the forest mimic is less like a preying mantis (mimicry as a hunting strategy) and more like a cuckoo (mimicry as a protective strategy for their young). Adult forest mimics will leave their offspring near a group of hikers while they forage during the day, and retrieve them near trailheads in the evening. Groups of hikers provide safety from predators and allow the parents of the species the freedom to forage more widely.

For this reason, the traditional advice to never let a mimic into your vehicle is still very important, as this would separate the young mimic from its mother. If a juvenile forest mimic does follow your group to the parking lot, you can keep it entertained with trail snacks, dad jokes, and simple goofs. The mother will usually collect them shortly before sunset.

When you notice the woods around the trailhead go silent and feel a sense of nameless foreboding, find an excuse to avert your attention from the juvenile so it can sneak back into the forest to rejoin its mother, convinced it's fooled another party of unsuspecting humans.

“what if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?” good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesn’t make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know it’s okay if what you think about yourself changes.

[agendermetalbender]

[shypaintervoid]

Life itself is a phase. You were not alive, then you were alive, then you weren't anymore. And in the scheme of things, you were alive for far less time then you were not. It was a phase.

My closet is decidedly lacking in cottagecore goodness and I've been looking with no success for the cutesy cottagecore dresses of my dreams for months now, but I just found a way to work smarter not harder

I'm making the adware work for me not against me

All it took was a couple Google searches, and some targeted Instagram ads popped up. From there I just had to click ads for dress companies that had ones I think fit the vibe and boom, found 5 different sites with good potential in two days just by scrolling my feed

I'm winning

It becomes clear that the last covid wave (brought on by spring festivals and carnevals and such where I live) has left people with both a stubborn cough (classical) and/or with thoroughly stubborn mucus in their sinuses. So stubborn that most medication that normally clears that up has not worked more than partially or temporarily.

So, if you had a ""cold"" and now have issues with mucus in your sinuses:

Consider wearing a mask in public. You probably had covid, and now have a compromised immune system for at least the next 6 months and probably longer. Consider avoiding super spreader events (EM, concerts, bars, conventions) or at least wear a mask so you're less likely to both get and spread covid at those events. Consider also getting the new covid vaccine come fall, or now if you hadn't before. It's not just a booster, it's based on the omicron variant instead. You should get it, because you now have a higher chance of getting disabled by long covid with your next covid infection, and any protection from getting infected helps lower that risk, as well as vaccination lowering the risk for developing long covid.

And if you're scared of social repercussions: At least wear it when you're sick or anyone close to you is sick. I'm begging actually.

I remember all the people during lockdown who said they would definitely wear a mask even for the regular cold after the pandemic has ended, because they now have the knowledge and means to not breath germs onto other people while actively infectious.

Where are y'all now? The pandemic hasn't even ended yet and almost no one is wearing a mask when sick.

Where is everyone who said that masks while sick should become the new normal?

Please don't even bother to feel guilty for not doing it so far, you fell for worldwide misinformation campaigns. Just start wearing a mask again and get all your covid vaccines.

Your actions are more important and way more impactful than your moral purity. Please just make wearing FFP2/N95 masks when sick and/or in high risk situations your new normal.

I'm the "voting is good" guy but I intend to direct basically all of my you-should-vote energy next year towards the reelection of the 18 progressives who've stuck their necks out to call for an Israeli-Palestinian ceasefire. They've dedicated themselves to a basic standard of human decency, and for it they will be punished with an immense tidal wave of financial and political resources seeking to get them kicked out of office, to say nothing of the threats against their lives. Biden's on his own.

[kalichnikov]

None of them are from my state, unfortunately but predictably. But OP is right: if you live in one of these states, and in the right district, you're in a position to cast a vote that could actually matter.
