#pointless whinging

Don’t read unless you’ve read all of the Sandman comics. Major spoilers for them and probably for the tv show also since it looks like they intend to follow the plot.

In fact, probably don’t read at all. It’s just a lot of tiresome venting about what is, after all, a story. 

I knew going into this thing what would probably happen. I read all the comics decades ago. I’ve been half-hoping that they might change something, but it looks like they have the arc all planned out and they’re intending to follow the books. Also, I think it would change the story more than anybody would want if they did. Anybody but me, that is.

I haven’t seen anybody else mention this except maybe one or two people in passing. But I knew it would probably have to come to this, and I’m not okay with it.

I’m tired of Every. Single. One. of my favorite characters dying. EVERY ONE. ALL THE TIME. Can I not have just ONE of them live? Just ONE?

There was a big screed in here about how everyone treated Morpheus like crap and never gave him any credit whatsoever for the change he did manage to effect and the sacrifices he made to do the right thing in the end, but I deleted it after realizing that probably nobody cares to read it.

I’m just tired. I wish I was a normal person. Normal people don’t get so attached to fiction. They don’t care much. They finish the book or whatever it is and then they’re done and they don’t feel things too strongly after it’s over and they don’t have to suffer so much.

We now return to our regularly scheduled fangirling.

Today is the day I stay at work for two hours longer than usual and I just want to go home

Why must I suffer?

Most annoying thing about batman fic so far is how rarely kids are written like kids. Theyre all written like 30 year old geniuses. Why is tim always written to be a tiny genius at age 5, why cant he be a bit silly and a bit stupid in the way kids are, even though he's also quite smart for his age

Come on, kids are so fun, i promise whatever youre writing will be better if you write kids as kids

Need a drink. Need a smoke. Can't have either of them. Fuck my life.

Y’all should definitely block my ‘pointless whinging’ tag if you don’t want to hear any more about how hot it is. I’m probably not going to shut up about it any time soon.

BECAUSE IT IS THIRTY DEGREES CELSIUS IN MY BEDROOM, RN.

I LIVE IN THE BASEMENT.

WTF.

Supposedly the heat wave will be continuing on into August, so, seriously, block the tag if you don’t want to hear it. I won’t be holding back in my tales of woe.

This sucks...

...and not in a sexy way.

I’m editing the sex scene for my story “All Good Things.” It is awful and terrible and I’m going to be so embarrassed posting it. But, really, I’m not here to moan. Nor do the self pitying thing. But...

Seriously! And, I can’t not post it! Because, well, quite frankly I’m sick to death of this story and I want it published and finished!

Oh and present tense is a thing I will never do again in all of my life. Ever.

Tuesday's dull writing news.

I had a long and busy day at work today. Managed to edit the most recent chapter of After The Siege and post that. My other fic, thanks to a comment by a reader is taking a little break. I'm tempted to write in an extra chapter :-) On a different note, feeling very conscious of how few people are reading my stuff. Same old worries there I guess. Nm! It makes me sad because, when rereading each chapter before posting, I actually like my own stories! Its a shame sp few other people do. (Thanks and love to the people who do enjoy amd are reading!)

Irrational pet peeve: People who think the song “Kiss Me” was by the Cranberries.
