“Math is kinda nice in that way because it’s always gonna be the same answer, y’know? And-and I guess you always know that’s the right one. Without a doubt.”
Carmen and Sydney try to find a new way to connect, embracing the present, being chased by the future.
i think it's been almost 10 years since i changed my blog colors/theme and 5 years since i changed my profile pic, but it is time. i am no longer Jesse Pinkman but Marilyn Monroe. this specific photo is widely acknowledged as her favorite.
it's been colorized though and i can't find that attribution. but the photo itself was taken by Cecil Beaton in 1956.

i fully intend to post another lkwrnl in May. whether or not this will actually happen remains to be seen.
as soon as i have H4H out to early readers, i'm pivoting back to fanfic. i've got multiple wips to finish, an anora fic idea, a sunrise on the reaping fic idea, and my FTH fic which i'm jazzed to start working on.
