Has anyone else seen The Midnight Club by Mike Flanagan? bc holy shit I just finished that in two days, and while nothing will probably ever beat my undying love for Haunting of Hill House, I'm still amazed by how each of his stories are so touching and make me feel painful feelings.
So sad that Netflix poopooed a season 2, but im also really grateful they did bc Flanagan released the basic outline for what season 2 would've been(on tumblr lmao), and HOLY SHIT I do not think I could survive watching all of that, it hurt by just reading
I'm going to need to stare at a wall for a MONTH until I feel prepared to watch House of Usher.
Currently working on a holiday themed one-shot where Bucky and the Reader are both volunteered to dance/act in the Nutcracker, is this something anyone is interested in?
I love how I'm feeling stuck with Honey pt. ii so I decided to take a little time and make a playlist for a different story that has ties to a song in Noah Kahan's Stick Season. And cue an hour later, I've skimmed/listened to the entire album and my entire plan for this story has changed 😭
Originally I was thinking a story where Bucky and Reader have never met before he crashes her little writing retreat in the woods (Instead of going to Wakanda, Steve asks for a favor that Buck lay low w/ you for a while.) But after listening to this beautiful album all about nostalgia, transitions, feeling stuck and yet missing home---now I'm feeling a more AU type situation where reader and Bucky are from the same smallish town and she eventually gets out. But somehow years later they finally reconnect (whether that be she goes back home or I manage to stick w/ the writing retreat idea) and it centers around their love that grows despite Bucky's feeling of abandonment of being left behind.
But at the same time I know I will never actually be able to create the world I have in my head to paper accurately and that's really discouraging lol
River my beloved!!! Thank you for reaching out 🥺 I am doing okay, I've just been somewhat busy and haven't found the energy to do much on tumblr. And like I've considered posting about life here but I know thats not what ppl follow me for and i dont want to annoy anyone lol
School is okay, I don't have too much work going on rn which is nice! Mostly what's been keeping me busy and my mind occupied is boys (half affectionate half derogatory) lmao
Long story short(ish. I can't for the life of me tell short stories, I blame the A.D.D.) there was this guy that asked me out on a couple dates a while ago and he was super sweet but I just wasn't really feeling it and I accidentally ghosted him for nearly a week bc I was so stressed about seeing him again (I didn't really want to but I know my therapist wanted me to try this)(side note, she's great, i love her).
Anywho, one day last week I was simply sitting outside in a grassy area on campus doing hw w/ a friend when a guy came up to me asking if I had seen a girl w/ a ferret (Thats a story for another time lol) and i was like "yes I have! But shes gone already :(" and he was like "do you have any photos" and i was like "yes i do!" so i gave him my # to send him the photos... and then he started texting me lol. and I thought he was cute and I hung out with him last monday and we saw Madame Web yesterday
(it was... um.. certainly a movie. It movied. It was fun but it was not good lol) and then we had lunch today and idk if my social battery plummeted or if I just got in my own head but suddenly I wasn't feeling it and now I am def in my own head.
Im not giving up tho i think I just need to recharge. I hope. I hope I'm not hopeless. I'm scared. Part of me is like I should text him too make sure he's not worried that I don't like him bc I dont want him to stress but another part of me is like DO NOT CONTACT ME FOR 2-3 BUSINESS DAYS I NEED TO THINK. AND MORE IMPORTANTLY NOT THINK.
On a different note, a couple hours ago I finally found the motivation to write which hasn't happened in a bit! I wrote the first scene of Honey pt. 2, yay!
Ok, enough rambling, how are you?? How is your life, anything interesting/new going on? And thank you for the head kisses and shiny objects, I'm sending them back tenfold. 💕💕💕
I think my issue w/ writing is that I can't come up with "quick" ideas. I suddenly had a spark of inspiration after nothing for a while, and began to outline my thoughts. What I want to do is write a short one-shot, no more than 3k. But then my ideas spiral into full length stories and I don't have the patience or motivation for that.
A while ago I started a one-shot but I've lost my drive for it bc I have this vision in my head, and the writing process is taking so damn long that there is this huge gratification delay. So here I am sitting on a 4.2k word story that is probably only a little over half way done? And yet I want to start another story that will probably have the same fate. Does this make any sense at all lol
I find myself in a love triangle* with two guys with the same name, different spelling
*aka I like guy 1, guy 1 has shown little interest in me and Im too scared to make a move, guy 2 likes me and is super cool but i do not think I am attracted to him
so its less like a love triangle and more like a really uninteresting and depressing angle
Ok what the fuck tumblr?? Im gonna keep this vague so I dont trigger anyone, but for some reason tumblr has decided it wants to show me a bunch of posts/accounts who are struggling with and also glorifying some very sad and triggering stuff, and no matter how many blogs I block, tumblr does not get the hint and shows me more. I guess next im gonna have to start blocking tags, but thats gonna be annoying af bc NONE OF THESE PEOPLE ARE TAGGING CORRECTLY WITH TRIGGER WARNINGS! Its all like pseudonyms, so for example if sandals (idfk lol) were a triggering topic, instead of saying "sandals" or "tw: sandals" in the tags, its all like "s4nd4ls" and "shoe life" or smth like that
