Happy today! I’m posting to attempt to convince myself it is, in fact, Wednesday. Time feels even more tenuous than usual. Thank you for confirming it’s Wednesday with your tag, @bookish-bogwitch!
I’m making valentines for the discord exchange and really excited about those. They’re a little time intensive but I’m really enjoying them.
I’m also looking forward to the @carry-on-au-fest in a bit! I have nothing concrete but a random assortment of snippets. Will they be spoilers? Will they be cut? Who knows! We’re chasing joy rather than going for perfection. Honestly, that’s looking like it’s going to be the whole vibe for this fic. I’m on the fence about three (maybe four) completely different directions to go in, so I’m just writing down dialogue as it comes to me. Eventually, I need to see if it will fit together or not. But not today!
Below the cut, tags and a few snippets. For now, I’m calling it “When That Light Hits The Sky” so I can find this post again under the tag and avoid sharing the same lines over and over. If any of these sound stupid, would you tell me now before I’ve arranged them into this quilt of a fic?
When did you know you’d be okay? Simon imagined someone asking.
I never did, he would say. I just hoped.
Strangely, he thought of his gran talking about how to bake a cake.
He settles next to Penny on the couch. “I hate this film,” he tells her.
“You can’t hate it,” she says, handing him the popcorn. “It might even be illegal to hate it.”
“Go on and arrest me, then.”
He thought eventually, he’d work his way around to figuring out this being a grown-up thing. And now he found himself firmly in an age range that could not plausibly be denied adulthood, with still no idea what he was doing.
Shouldn’t there be some kind of drive that would kick in? When was that going to happen?
He sees him. He thinks he sees him. That night was really fuzzy, but. Maybe it’s more that the person he sees fits the vague impression of a memory that he has, the way a person moved, the way they stepped onto the bus; he remembers looking at a hand holding a handrail.
Okay, any guesses about what’s going on here? It’s possible your guess could become the secret fifth direction I have to vacillate between! Good luck today and if you’re working on something, want to share? Even if it’s not perfect?
Good morning muni, sorry I haven't been on the past few days - been dealing with some pretty bad writer's block and fandom stress on twitter wasn't helping.
Trying to find that elusive joy and finding a tiny bit on the public dsmp Minecraft server. I've been building a little house for a candle shop/bakery - it's a sweet little pink cottage named the Pink Elephant Candle Cottage and Bakery 🩷🐘

Finding Joy in The Mundane Tasks & FREE Printable Calendar for July – Monthly, Daily & Weekly
Do you find the week days just drag on? It gets mid day Tuesday and you are dreaming of your next day off?
Me too. I have been struggling to find time to reflect, or really do something that I enjoy. It feels like the hours in the day are so minimal compared to what has to be accomplished.
‘Has to’ is a strong phrase for expectations I have put on myself. Sometimes it feels like such a large…
