Screwcaps

An aroace artist, writer, and storyteller with a penchant for procrastinating and torturing my characters. A fan of any genre (except for nonfiction, unless it's a memoir), a strong believer that Six of Crows changed my understand of what makes a good story, and a distracted, delirious personality running on too little sleep and too much creativity.

“You write the beginning and then you go back and rewrite the beginning, and you never got off page one. It’s kind of a syndrome, and I have a rash piece of advice which is — Go on, page two, page three, and never look back. Get something finished, no matter how lousy it is. […] Perfectionists cannot get going unless they kind of do violence to their own instincts, and just blast ahead.”

— Ursula K. Le Guin, The Last Interview and Other Conversations

this might piss some people off but I don’t think some of you actually ever tried to unlearn your hatefulness. you just came out as queer and decided your new targets really truly deserve it this time.

[donniehaspronouns]

you. you get it.

I bet Grace's ejection from earth would become like an Eridian horror story. They forced him to sleep. They held him down and made him go to sleep so he would stop fighting. They kept him vulnerable and put him into a dangerous situation with other sleeping, vulnerable humans with no one to watch over them.

And 2 of them DIED! While they were asleep with no one to watch over them!!

Like they probably already thought Rocky's journey was the stuff of nightmares (alone for decades with no one to watch him sleep) but Grace's story would probably be so terrifying to them. Coupled by the relative ease with which he talks of it. He accidentally mentions it to his class and gets several concerned and angry messages from Eridian parents about him telling horror stories to their children instead of teaching Human Science lol

resilient little guy

Dean is strong for enduring John and Sam is strong for enduring the loneliness, neither wins but they still envy and deeply misunderstand each other in earlier seasons, the concept of two estranged brothers finding to each other again <3

was anybody going to tell me that grace's quilt is covered in good luck symbols from around the world as a way to show that the entire world was wishing him luck on the mission

em dash is so fucking sexy. puts her in a paragraph 8 times.

People in the notes are telling me the opinions of Twitter and Reddit users. Let me make myself clear: redditors and Twitter users are not people to me. I do not value their opinions on my hot wife, the em dash. Puts her in a paragraph 20 times.

One of my favourite little details about Grace is that he’s working in the karaoke scene. He has a pen and paper and he’s hunched over the bar working, even as everyone around him relaxes and comes together.

He’s still working.

realized rocky and grace were recording a video log when rocky found out grace was on a one way trip/offered to give him astrophage to go home and i don't think they turned off the camera so unless grace deleted the footage (which he may not have thought to do) earth gets an up close and personal view to how much rocky and grace care about one another when they get those probes and see an alien outraged and grieving that grace was sent to die along with giving up fuel so he can go home

[halethleia]

imagine being a typical eridian kid growing up and having a normal life on your normal planet and then all of a sudden there’s a weirdo fragile squishy alien scientist who lives in a dome and helped save your sun and now he teaches you science

[bulkhummus]

someone sent me an anon ask about rocky meeting eva and i tried to post it not once but twice and tumblr ate it both times so now im just regular posting it here

i think ryland would grow to understand stratt’s choice with time, and even thank her logic of it because it led to his meeting of rocky, but i dont think he’d ever really forgive her for what she did to him

(Ryland had to prep rocky before they touched down to meet Stratt so he wouldnt charge her at first sight)

thank you for the request :o)
