โI remember the feeling. It was a feeling of hopeless sadness.โ
โ Virginia Woolf, fromย โA Sketch of the Past,โ written c. 1939
the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.
Itโs a *Toy* Story ๐ค
You knew it! My new original song โI Knew It, I Knew Youโ for Disney and Pixarโs Toy Story 5 will be yours on June 5th. Iโve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who Iโve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie. I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?
You can pre-order now exclusively on my site and catch Toy Story 5 in theaters June 19th โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ
โListen, donโt hate me because I canโt remember some person immediately. Especially when they look like everybody else, and talk and dress and act like everybody else.โ Franny made her voice stop. It sounded to her cavilling and bitchy, and she felt a wave of self-hatred that, quite literally, made her forehead begin to perspire again. But her voice picked up again, in spite of herself. โI donโt mean thereโs anything horrible about him or anything like that. Itโs just that for four solid years Iโve kept seeing Wally Campbells wherever I go. I know when theyโre going to be charming, I know when theyโre going to start telling you some really nasty gossip about some girl that lives in your dorm, I know when theyโre going to ask me what I did over the summer, I know when theyโre going to pull up a chair and straddle it backward and start bragging in a terribly, terribly quiet voice - or name-dropping in a terribly quiet, casual voice. Thereโs an unwritten law that people in a certain social or financial bracket can name-drop as much as they like just as long as they say something terribly disparaging about the person as soon as theyโve dropped his name, Iโm sick of just liking people. I wish to God I could meet somebody I could respectโฆโ // Franny and Zooey

Review of Junior Jedi Knights Series ๐ค
โListen to me, I donโt have any family. No one cares if I get sent back home. But there are a lot of people counting on you to be a great Jedi Knight like your uncle. Donโt you see, I didnโt even know what a Jedi was a few weeks ago. It doesnโt matter if Iโm returned to Tatooine. I donโt have a destiny to fullfill.โ โ
What youโre saying isnโt true,โ Anakin interrupted her. โItโs true that I would be ashamed if I was sent back home, but we donโt know for sure that will happen. I believe in my heart that Iโm meant to be a Jedi Knight. But so are you. Tionne and Uncle Luke wouldnโt have brought you to Yavin 4 if you werenโt strong in the Force. And even if you arenโt that important so the Sand People, youโre important to me. Iโm your family now. I care about what happens to you. And there is no way I would let you take the blame for what we did together. Weโre a team.โ
I finished this series last night and loved it! Everything about it made me sad. The Junior Jedi Knights series was really important to me, and I'll tell you a little bit about it. I'm sad because they're beautiful, but that's not enough. I don't think it ever will be. Their first meeting in the book was beautiful. Tahiri and Anakin were very courageous. Luke scared Anakin a little when he explained where his name came from. The fact that his grandfather's name was also Anakin and that he was a Dark Lord became Anakin's greatest fear. The second book, The Lyric World, is wonderful, and I love all the characters. That book really made me wonder about Melodies. Anakin and Tahiri were wonderful in Promises. Learning about Tahiri's past and her decision to stay at the Jedi Academy was wonderful. The last three books were great, too. I read them quickly and enjoyed them. I really liked Uldir, but his determination to become a Jedi was sometimes humorous. Anakin's greatest fear was turning to the dark side like Skywalker, so he wanted to go to Dagobah and take the test. I love Anakin and believe he is much stronger than Skywalker. In the last book, Uldir insists on becoming a Jedi again, which gets the team into trouble. I liked Uldir, too. It was a wonderful series filled with beautiful friendships.

โYou all right?โ Leia nodded, throat muscles momentarily too tight to speak through. โHold me, Han,โ she breathed when she could talk again. โJust hold me.โ Donโt be afraid, she thought at them. Donโt be afraid. Itโll be all right. Iโm here. Soon, youโll be with me. // The Last Command by Timothy Zahn
Honestly, I read this book slowly and couldn't finish it quickly, yet it became one of my favorites. It was one of the best series I read during a rough patch, and Leia Organa Solo literally saved my life! The beginning of the book was slow, and I was generally bored, but it picked up speed towards the end. I love Mara Jade, and the way she took out the clone Luke and C'boarth at the end was fast-paced. Despite everything, Mara is an exciting character to read about. I love her so much! Oh my God, the twins were born, and Jaina was the first. I was happy about that, especially when Leia told Han to hug her during the birth scene. That was beautiful. Thrawn was ultimately destroyed, which I was expecting. I really love Winter. On the other hand, the Karrde scenes were boring. Overall, it was a good series. I liked it. It was fun.

โAnd he remembered, too, the wrenching realization heโd had at that same time: that no matter how much he tried, he would never be able to totally protect her from the dangers and risks of the universe. Because no matter how much he might love herโno matter how much he might give of himself to herโshe could never be content with that alone. Her vision extended beyond him, just as it extended beyond herself, to all the beings of the galaxy. And to take that away from her, whether by force or even by persuasion, would be to diminish her soul. And to take away part of what heโd fallen in love with in the first place.โ // Dark Force Rising by Timothy Zahn
The book Dark Force Rising, written by Timothy Zahn, was fantastic. Honestly, Iโm going through a difficult period in my life, and this series allows me to escape everything. Reading this book is like one of those moments when you truly feel present and alive. I didnโt want the book to end, but I also wanted it to end because I was so curious about what would happen next. The book was incredible. It was more exciting than the first one. Seeing Thrawnโs plans come to life was scary. If he had caught leia and the twins, everything could have gone terribly wrong. I was constantly worried that something would happen to Leia. Those parts were really tough. Dark Force Rising was exciting. It was fun to read. I loved it.
"Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn't have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn't have to be a walk during which you'll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don't find meaning but "steal" some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn't make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be."
Virginia Woolf, in a diary entry dated 31 August 1928 featured in A Writer's Diary
โWhat a world she must live in, Nina thought, where you can piss and moan and stomp your feet and cry in public and yell at the people who hurt you. That you can dictate what you will and will not accept. Nina, her entire life, had been programmed to accept. Accept that your father left. Accept that your mother is gone. Accept that you must take care of your siblings. Accept that the world wants to lust after you. Accept accept accept. For so long, Nina had believed it was her greatest strengthโthat she could withstand, that she could endure, that she would accept it all and keep going. It was so foreign to her, the idea of declaring that something was unacceptable.โ // Malibu Rising
โBut you,โ Tarine said. โWith you, it is just the one problem. And it affects everything you do and, Nina, I am sorry to say this but I hate it about you.โ
โAll right,โ Nina said. โGo on and tell me.โ Tarine sipped her wine and then said, โI suspect you have not lived a single day for yourself.โ// Malibu Rising
โWhat if we could stop being different colors, different backgrounds, and just be in love?โ // We Were Liars ๐
โWhy donโt you just kill yourself? someone at school asked me once. I think it was the kind of question intended to be cruel, but it was the first time Iโd ever contemplated the possibility. I didnโt know what to say. Maybe I was crazy to consider it, but Iโd always hoped that if I were a good enough girl, if I did everything right, if I said the right things or said nothing at allโI thought my parents would change their minds. I thought they would finally listen when I tried to talk. I thought they would give me a chance. I thought they might finally love me. I always had that stupid hope.โ // Shatter Me ๐
โBut things happen when people touch me. Strange things. Bad things. Dead things. I canโt remember the warmth of any kind of embrace. My arms ache from the inescapable ice of isolation. My own mother couldnโt hold me in her arms. My father couldnโt warm my frozen hands. I live in a world of nothing. Hello. World. You will forget me.โ // Shatter Me ๐
โMy eyes shatter into thousands of pieces that ricochet around the room, capturing a million snapshots, a million moments in time. Flickering images faded with age, frozen thoughts hovering precariously in dead space, a whirlwind of memories that slice through my soul. He reminds me of someone I used to know. One sharp breath and Iโm shocked back to reality. No more daydreams.โ // Shatter Me ๐
โI said I was just trying to save the stray cats living around the corner but they didnโt think I was human enough to care about a cat.โ // Shatter Me ๐
