Living Life and Loving to Write

Masterlist Name: Silent! Pronouns: She/Her My 20s are for dreaming— Feel free to ask me things! Blog contains 18+ content.

Hi, Tumblr! Long time no see!

I’m not sure if there’s anyone left to shout back at me as I call into the void—this blog has been dormant for quite some time now. However, since 2026 will bring with it the 7 year anniversary of me making this blog, I thought it only fitting to give the void (and any lovely people that remain) an update.

First, the obvious: Silent, you haven’t been writing!? Yes, and no. While I had been working on some personal projects alongside some draft fics, in the last year, my health has deteriorated to the point that writing is very hard to do. However, I’m hoping that as I get my health under control, my ability to spend time working on my writing projects will come back. I miss writing a lot, including writing fic, so I intend to pick up the hobby again when I am well enough to.

However, aside from that more negative turn of events, the last year has brought quite a few positives. I’ve taken up needlecraft and drawing, and I’ve been watching loads of great anime (Sasaki & Miyano, anyone? My Dress-Up Darling, anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?). I’m almost a graduate, too! My plants are (mostly) alive (sorry Thanksgiving Cactus!! 😭). Also, I think I met the person I’m going to marry someday. 💛

I’ve been spending a lot less time online, which has been great for my mental health. Turns out, a constant stream of information on multiple feeds a day isn’t good for my mental health. Who knew?! (Probably scientists everywhere 😱). So, while I’ll occasionally be on tumblr, I’ve accepted that I’ll never again be as online as I was circa 2019-2020 when I started the blog. So, until I’m back with more writing or some musings about a random hobby of mine, stay strong, stay creative, and stay hopeful, tumblr.

Happy 2026! 💙

Love,

~Silent

the plot of leverage:

[b0rtney]

Had a friend express worry that Eliot Spencer gets injured so often in leverage and I had to reassure them: no no. U dont get it his old job was "getting the shit beat out of you constantly for the sake of people who dont care if u live or die," and then afterward he had to drag himself home, patch himself up, and do it all over again tomorrow. NOW he gets minor cuts and bruises (usually), and the moment the job is done his whole clingy crime family gets to go "oh that looks like it hurts let's get you some bacitracin and bruise cream!! Do you wanna cook dinner to feel better?" And then they all make sure he is never in any true mortal danger and he always gets a say in what he does for the job. This is like a working dog who got house privileges and now enjoys fat naps in front of the fire and fancy wet food after his long day guarding the flock. Hes doing great actually.

Leverage S01E08 The Bank Shot Job.

Bonus Eliot getting the folder thrown back at him:

Leverage: Redemption S03E06 The Swipe Right Job.

[thegroundhogdidit]

it's so important to me that eliot is canonically not just parker and hardison's third wheel but in fact textually placed right in the middle of their relationship. when parker says she's in a great relationship in the swipe right job, she doesn't say "me and hardison and also you." she says "me, you, hardison." in the harry wilson job they change the infamous "til my dying day" to "til OUR dying day," implying that eliot has made his peace with the idea that he's not on the outside as parker and hardison's protector but an active part of the relationship that can't be lived without. hell in the long goodbye job nate's narrative doesn't have parker and hardison, the romantic couple, holding hands as they die, but the two of them holding hands with ELIOT, who's in between them. he's central to the relationship, and nothing and no one will ever change that

Tornado season has violently started in the u.s already so take it from a hardened Midwesterner who has been on the highways and interstate when the radio starts doing the RRRRRRRNGH. RRRRRRRNGH. RRRRRRRNGH. BEEEEEEEEEP thing:

DO NOT TAKE SHELTER UNDER AN OVERPASS. EVEN IF YOU CLIMB UP THE HILL THING. CONGRATS YOU JUST ENTERED A WIND TUNNEL DURING A TORNADO. DON'T DO THAT

[cityfaringcountrymouse]

Most farmhouses out in the middle of nowhere have windbreaks, aka, a long line of trees. Use this to your advantage. Head towards the trees, see if there's a house. People will let you shelter there in a tornado. It's the Midwest. We're nice.

STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ELECTRICAL POLES AND SHIT THAT CAN FALL ON YOU. TREES BAD IF NO HOUSE. TREES SO BAD IF NO HOUSE. TREES ARE SHRAPNEL GENERATORS. IF YOU DON'T SEE A HOUSE STAY AWAY FROM THE TREES.

Stay the fuck away from pivots, while we're at it. You can get electrocuted from yards away.

If you're heading out of a town and the sirens go off, turn the fuck around. Go to the nearest building or business or house. Shelter with them.

And remember, a large percentage of tornados are rain-wrapped. This means that the sky doesn't even get dark. It just looks like a rainstorm. A normal one.

If the sirens are going off, that means there is a tornado that is on the ground in your immediate area. Go to fucking shelter. I don't care if it doesn't look like a tornado outside.

If there is a warning, that means there is a tornado on the ground in your county. Go to shelter. I don't care if it doesn't look like a tornado outside.

If there is a watch, this means that there is no tornado right now, but they're expecting some. Go about your business, but keep your phone charged and on you, and listen for sirens.

If a tornado looks like it's standing still, it's coming towards you. Down stairs. Now.

If the sirens suddenly cut instead of winding down, if the drains start sucking, if your ears pop, or if you hear a train, dive for cover like your life depends on it because it does.

A downstairs bathroom without windows, in the bathtub, covered by a blanket from head to toe, is the best place to be. On the ground, away from windows, covered by a blanket, with as many walls as you can between you and the outside, is good enough.

[systlin]

Can confirm, if there's a tornado bearing down my basement is for everyone. I'll shove it full of strangers if I have to. Just knock and look panicked and we'll Get It.
