Positivity? I got nothing, sorry. 🥺🥲
Can interest you in a photo of my cat instead?
Absolutely 100% yes!!! I am always interested in pics of pets. 🥰
Please take a pic of mine too. I hope it helps you some.
He can't read, he just likes to sit next to books because he thinks it makes him look clever and distinguished.
Calling you Merri feels wrong because to me you’ll always be Bun. Bun-Bun. Bunberlina. El Bun-bo. Benedict Bunberbatch.
It’s a struggle.
Anyway, how are you? What are your plans this weekend? Up to anything fun? ❤️❤️
"BENEDICT BUNBERBATCH"?! LMAO
You can call me Bun, Bun-Bun, Bunberlina, El Bun-bo, Benedict Bunberbatch, and any variation thereof if you like. The Bunny Privileges are all yours! 🐰
I'm okay! Plans for this weekend are rest and hopefully do a little writing. Crossing my fingers that I will be able to finish the first few days of Whumptober prompts later tonight so I won't get too behind. 🎃⛓️🔪
Are you going to write for any October events?
Top Five Rob Characters 🥰❤️
Ooh! In no particular order:
Sean Falco
Nathan Young
Barry James Anderson
Klaus Hargreeves
Nikolai
I almost swapped Nikolai for Vladek but Nik won mostly because I understand Nik's character a bit better. :x
Since new chapters are rolling out, I think it’s time I shared the commission I did for the lovely @salvador-daley and their incredible mystery-thriller fanfic, Chained. If you’re a fan of Klaus Hargreeves and locked room mysteries, this is a fic you won’t wanna miss! 👀
Below the cut is an alternate cover! Enjoy!
Loss is not funny. It was never funny. It was painfully cringeworthy and mocked widely from the moment it was released.
However, it has since spawn a decade’s worth of increasingly minimalist parodies. The joke has meta’d in on itself, so that only the idea that a bad meme once existed in this place has become the joke itself.
In other words, Loss is now both a singular point in space, and yet, Loss also contains space itself. The nexus of Loss is without dimension. The moment of Loss’ creation and the eventual heat death of the universe are now inexorably the same.
Top Five Fanfic Tropes
This is very old whoops. :x
My top five favorite fanfic tropes in no particular order!
Fake Dating (especially if it causes the characters to develop and expose real feelings for each other... OR, for the sake of comedy and drama, they actually hate each other's guts and are only fake dating to achieve a common goal; whether or not they fall in love by the end doesn't matter)
There Was Only One Bed (and one wakes up in the morning with the other curled up close to them, and they have a little oh moment, recognizing how beautiful the other character is, and starts to catch feelings or gets a bittersweet ache over how much they've always loved them)
The Grumpy One Loves The Sunshiney One (or any contrasty, opposites-attract kind of relationship; could also be the comic relief and the straight man!)
Enemies to Lovers or Lovers to Enemies to Something Complicated in Between
Found Family (inject found family directly into my VEINS, I wanna mainline this stuff and live off nothing else for the next 100 years)
Top Five Books
Top 5 things!
This is such a cruel, cruel question for a bookworm. I don't actually think I can answer this one because it's usually "the book I just read" haha but! I'll try.
Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie. Full disclosure, I read this in high school as part of one of my English classes and I don't actually remember much about this book beyond I really enjoyed it and it's been on my re-read list ever since. But considering there are very few books that I loved enough to even think about reading again...? I think Haroun deserves a spot purely for that. I'd love to experience it again and see how it holds up now that I'm an adult.
It by Stephen King. What a long, laborious book; there's some kind of poetic metaphor about it being as heavy to lug around as the grief and fear inside it. Well worth it, though. This was the first book by King that I ever read and I fell in love with his style instantly.
Nineteen Seventy-Seven or Nineteen Eighty-Three by David Peace. I still can't in good faith recommend the Red Riding Quartet to most people--they were some of the hardest books for me to read in terms of content, never mind the unusual writing style that made it a little hard to follow--but almost six months later, I'm still entranced with... whatever the heck Peace was doing lol. Seventy-Seven and Eighty-Three were two of the more surreal books in the series, yet despite having no idea what was going on half the time, they were two of the most compelling because of that surrealism.
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. What is there to say about this book that hasn't already been said over and over again? I love Fitzgerald's style, and the complex and tragic relationships between characters in The Great Gatsby are some of my favorites of any novel I've read.
The Magician's Nephew or The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. They're just very nostalgic and comforting in general. You have to have your cozy books, you know?
There's actually one other book that I would've put on this list as number 5, but I'm not allowed to talk about it yet as I won it in a GoodReads giveaway and it isn't being sold yet. 🤫 All I can say is that it's a dark psychological thriller that I have strong feelings about (good and bad) that, despite a borderline offensive ending, is somehow still a book I think I would recommend to fellow horror fans. Once it's officially published either at the end of this year or the start of the next, I'll write up a proper review for it here.
(And, perhaps unpopular as I didn't see too many people talking about enjoying it, Disappearing Act by our Mr. Sheehan should also be on my top-something books. I really loved "Skin", "Rose", "Desert Donkey Legs", and "House in the Country"; they all show a lot of promise for Rob as an author. I really hope that he releases another book with more of the same!)
Top Five Foods
top 5 things!
P o t a t o e s. The most wonderful and versatile of tubers.
Cabbage! Cooked, stewed, or raw, makes no difference to me.
Raw turnips with salt. Ugh, I've been craving turnips for months.
Blackberries. I could eat blackberries all day. It's a shame they're so expensive.
It seems redundant to say "a good mulligan stew" when I've already listed two ingredients lol but! A good mulligan stew. There's little as comforting as a hot, savory broth full of chunky veg and herbs... But that could be the winter weather talking. ♥
