Hi, it's me, the person with the long comments! I finally remembered to send you this prompt I was talking about, and not even because I specifically wrote a note to myself and put it on my computer or anything! How silly would that be, right? Anyway, on to the prompt: I'd love to read Outsider!POV on an established Iwaoi relationship. I don't care if highschool or adults, canonverse or AU, or even if the outsider(s) know Iwaoi are actually in a relationship or not. I hope this inspires you! :D

IT IS DONE!! AT LAST!

the official post for the fic will be up soon, but for now u can read it here.

it’s still august 2 where i’m at, so i’m not behind schedule yet! definitely not!!

seriously, though, thank you so much for the request and for your incredible & thoughtful comments. it means the world to me that people are willing to read my stuff & engage with it on such a level, and seeing your name in my inbox never fails to brighten up my day!

it took a while for me to figure out how to write this particular au, but i like how it turned out, and i hope you do as well. ♡♡♡

Oh dang Elodie I did NOT know that Cliff got deleted (I follow him but I know it's not unusual for him to not post for longer periods of time somtimes so I didn't think anything of it) - do you have any more information on that?

Cliff’s on Twitter! https://twitter.com/pervocracy And they’re talking about sorting out a website for the rest. Cliff’s account was deleted without warning and they have not been able to get any answers.

Hast du Erfahrung mit dem Steam-Link? Ich überleg mir schon ewig, ob ich mir den zulegen soll (weil ich so ein Gerät grundsätzlich super praktisch find), aber einige Rezensionen sind so vernichtend, dass ich immer wieder davor zurückscheue.

Wenn du ein LAN-Kabel in der Nähe von deinem Zielgerät hast, sollte das gehen; wenn dein WLAN gut ist, kannst du auch Glück haben. Dein Rechner sollte mit der Anwendung am besten auch nicht bis an die Grenzen gehen, wenn zu wenig für das Kodieren übrig bleibt tut das möglicherweise deinem Rechner auch ein bisschen weh.

Ich hab das bisher getestet mit AC: Origins und Binding of Isaac; bei AC war das nicht wirklich spielbar, aber mien Rechner kämpft damit auch so schon bis zum Zerbersten. BoI ging was die Latenzzeit anging sehr gut, ein Paar Bildartefakte hatte ich zwar, aber wie gesagt mein WLAN kommt nicht so gut im Wohnzimmer an. (Dann hatte meine SSD aufgeben und ich konnte erstmal nicht mehr weitertesten)

FRIEND!! I just wanted to ask how you're doing at your new place! Did the move go all right? How is the new work? Your new town? Coworkers? Are you sleeping better already?

Things are going AWESOME! The city is beautiful, my coworkers are awesome, and let me tell you, the feeling of not dreading getting up in the morning/going to work? So bizarre. I mostly actually enjoy my job! Sure, some parts are tedious, but that’s the way with all jobs, really, it’s not always fun and games. But when you’ve spent, like, close to three years dreading going to work, sometimes to the point of nausea, it’s just so goddamn freeing to have work not be a negative experience.

It is very, very Hot, though, I’m too Scandinavian for this shit XD 

Which means I have my window open pretty much every minute I’m at home. For a while, that was slightly problematic, because there are train tracks right outside my window? With a curve? So the trains would brake right outside my window and it’s like nails on a chalkboard x3000?

Fortunately, last weekend, they started EXTENSIVE maintenance of the train tracks, I think they’re moving the main train station or something??? So it’s blissfully quiet, now. :D I’ll take construction noise over braking trains ANY DAY.

I’m still shamefully lacking in Czech vocab beyond the very, very basics (hello, please, thank you), so I need to work on that, but otherwise, doing great!

myrinthinks replied to your post: So, I’ve sort of been keeping quiet about this,...

Wow, congrats! What languages will you be dealing with? Japanese, I guess, since I can see that being the most sought-after? (Also, did you move already or is that yet to come?)

Thank you!

...I’m actually gonna be translating English-Norwegian, which is partly hilarious, and partly kind of a bummer, because I would’ve preferred working with Japanese, and considering that’s what my degree is in. But hey, it’s playing with words, it’s translation credit, and it’s working abroad credit, all of which are good to have on the ol’ CV if/when I decide I wanna do something else.

My flight leaves TOMORROW MORNING, and My Body Is Not Ready, aaaaaaah! (okay, it’s mostly ready)

That feeling when your friend calls your favourite trope "creepy" and "disgusting"... :/ (Sorry for the randomness but I need someone to commiserate. Can we as members of fandom maybe practice the acceptance we always preach?)

This is what the word squick is for, people! Let’s not call our friends and fellow fans creepy and disgusting. It’s possible to not like something and still not make a value judgement about it. No-one’s kinks or tropes are inherently more valid than others, okay?

I very much have tropes and kinks that I loathe, either because of personal reasons, or because I can’t divorce them from certain societal issues, and therefore reading them leaves a serious bad taste in my mouth. However, it’s not fair of me to expect everyone else to make those same connections, and feel the way I do about it. I’m not saying no-one should ever criticize a trope, because being critical to what we read is an important skill to have. But let’s not be assholes about it, and besides, knee-jerk reactions like “creepy” and “disgusting” are not useful critiques.

But yeah. Let’s all remember that: “Not all writing is catered to me, nor should it be.”

I really appreciate that my sister sent me an urgent whatsapp this morning, telling me I absolutely had to be on tumblr today.

I was worried for all of a second until I saw the cat paws😼 Let the booping commence!

@myrinthinks

I'm looking! What now?

I’m gonna be real with you, I didn’t think I’d get this far and I don’t know what to tell you
