I was tagged by the fantastic @garglyswoof to share my current home screen and my kindle library. I don't have kindle so here is my Libby.
Please forgive the lateness of my post, I was trapped in Hell (aka the Passport Office).
Edited to include my Libby/Overdrive borrowing history:
tagged by @garglyswoof for my home screen and current library. I only have libby but here's this month so far (I need to put good material back on hold)
For the ask game, I would like you to respond to this three (3) times as part of your recovery i think squirming uncomfortably and sweating will be healing for you. ✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉
*Shakes fist* FINE. But I want you to know I was prepared for this question and had something to offer up, except that I didn't expect to have to do it THREE TIMES, so now I'm back to square one. I'm muttering under my breath about you, FYI.
The one I originally thought up was that I'm hilarious, and I stand by that, because I am, and the funny bits of my writing are consistently the only bits where I can read back and be like, "Everything is garbage except this; this should get the Pulitzer, actually."
Let's see, what else. I think I'm pretty good at atmospheric writing and creating a specific mood. (Hopefully, at least, because I've got to do that again in my next chapter, so here's to not fucking it up.)
And I think I'm pretty good at writing characters who feel like real humans, meaning sometimes they're complete dumbasses who need to be put in a cage for their own safety.
You have a sun allergy? What does that mean? It is early and I feel stupid and also too lazy to google
It's more of an inflammatory symptom/side effect of one of my autoimmune diseases rather than a full-blown allergy. It's usually worse when I'm in the middle of a flare. Basically, what happens is I get a rash that comes out on my skin - especially my face, arms, chest - when it comes into contact with direct sunlight, so I am always covered in tons of sunscreen and/or clothing.
It didn't start happening until I was in my mid-20's, which wasn't long before I got diagnosed. It's so dumb. I hate it haha.
the true mark of the obsessed: icon changing
....when i tell you that i made 3 different icons and changed my tumblr icon with one of them, my discord with another and my ao3 with another one then you'll actually understand how obsessed i am kasdsdkjfdsjf
help
I wouldn’t know where to start Sweet music playin’ in the dark
Be still my foolish heart Don’t ruin this on me

He stood there until darkness fell.
I hope you know that, by not giving a ship, you’re leaving yourself open to me writing about my original characters. It’s gonna happen. In the next one. For this one, I wrote Kastle.

He stood there until darkness fell.
It wasthe same damn position Karen had left him in, when she had seen him standingthere as she had come back to her apartment. At first, she had thought to walk up to him, to give him a piece of hermind. He couldn’t keep doing this toher. Pushing her away, and then showingup again, as if he had any right to want to protect her, when these days he wasthe one that hurt her most.
But inthe end, she had walked around him. Because she was so damn tired, and she knew that if she talked to him,he would win. She didn’t know whatexactly he would win – this wasn’t a contest, this push and pull betweenthem. It shouldn’t be a contest.
Butsomehow it felt like it was, and just because she was mad didn’t mean she wasany less in love with him. If she lethim talk, he would win.
And so,she left him, and he stood there, and now it was dark and he was still outthere.
It gotcold at night. Karen knew it got cold atnight. She tried to tell herself thatshe didn’t care. Damn him, and let himfreeze his ass off out there. He didn’t choose her – he sent her away, like she was some little girl,instead of a grown ass woman who saved his ass and every other vigilante’s assaround here more often than they deserved.
She madeit an hour, before she looked outside again. At first, she thought he had left… but then she saw him, on a benchacross the street. He looked like he wassettling in for the long haul.
And Karen…Karen was an idiot, because she couldn’t seem to resist Frank, even when hedeserved her resistance.
Thosefake flowers, the ones he had given her back when she was looking for Micro,were shoved into her tiny broom closet and covered in dust. She blew them off and sneezed, and thendecided he didn’t deserve to have clean God damn flowers.
She was stillcursing Frank Castle’s name, even as she shoved the flowers into the windowwith a scowl.
The knockcame not even five minutes later.
Send a ship + a first sentence and get… however much I decide to write
garglyswoof replied to your post: “Vatanım Sensin is a period drama, set in the early 20th Century...”
“I’m weirdly attracted to him in a dirty cockroach-y way” is the best part tbh ahaha. You put a ton of work into this, looks great despite tumblr being a dick.
Haha, it’s true though. Like the villains in Turkish dramas tend to be quite one-sided. Like if you think of it as a telenovela they would fill the villain trope. They tend to not be as multi-layered as the villains in UK or US dramas (Shout out to Klaus Mikaelson, pre-TO!). But with Tevfik, at first I thought he and Azize are cute, the looks he served. Even when I fully was shipping Azize and Cevdet, the main couple. Then Tevfik turns out to be a shady bastard and I just hate him. And he does some VERY IRREDEEMABLE things...in later episodes you find out he’s pining for Azize and plotting to marry her while sleeping with this singer Eftelya and poor Eftelya. She’s in love with him and he’s just an abusive piece of shit towards her and is a dick to her dad and he gets her dad to do the dirty work by threatening Eftelya.
But there is something in Onur Saylak’s performance that makes him engaging to watch, and slightly attractive to watch in a smarmy way. And he is a cockroach because of how much he does shady, evil shit and how much he gets away with it. It takes forever for the revelation that he shot Cevdet and stole 7 years of his life to come out.
And thanks for the compliment lol. I thought screencaps would be the best way to describe it. The hardest bit was trying to work out how much to spoil because the episodes are super long, a lot of stuff happens. Especially with Vatanım Sensin which takes you on an emotional rollercoaster in the first episode and the second one.
Also depending on Turkish dramas, they don’t always reveal the plot through teasers and trailers that it’s not until you watch it that you know what the plot is. Luckily with Vatanım Sensin, the trailer pretty much tells you what the plot is about, while still keeping particular details hidden from the audiences for shock.
On a sidenote: One thing I learnt from the show, that I found interesting is that before Turkey got independence, they didn’t have surnames. So to differentiate people will be like [Name] married to [Name], son of [Name] etc. It wasn’t until like the 30s(?) when a law came in and they had to have a surname. I think a lot of people used the man’s name for the family name.
