Spending my evening sitting up and writing fanfiction whilst eating strawberries dipped in chocolate...I think Mary-Beth would approve.
My (already short) nails are broken and snagging on things, the skin on my hands feels like leather (reaction to cleaning chemicals bc apparently wearing gloves is unhygienic 🫠), and my arm is looking emo with how many random unexplained scratches I've gotten.
All in a week's work for Thimble 🙃
One perk of getting married and taking on a new surname is I no longer have to spell out my (native) maiden name when asked for it.
Unfortunately, I still have to spell out my (uncommon French) first name.
I can't win 🥲
Making dinner while listening to my husband run a zoom class with his language students in the background.
He's so cute
Stumbled across Mary-Beth's self-deprecating comments in her notebook :(
"...She also realized at the same time that was total tripe and she should go hang herself for having ideas way above her station." (I have a feeling she wrote this after getting told off by Grimshaw...)
"...She was an idiot that wrote a load of nonsense down then gave up and stuck with hating herself."
Mary-Beth, my sweet girl, why do you speak so harshly about yourself? 💔
Honestly, the way a lot of the fandom interprets Sadie does bug me because all too often it completely ignores that she's a deeply broken woman.
I see a lot of comments about how Sadie's so hot and badass, and while she certainly is beautiful and tough and competent, she's also a recently bereaved widow, who loved her husband more than anyone in the world. She's traumatised not only by his murder right in front of her, but by the implied sexual assault that ensued in the aftermath.
Her home was burnt to the ground along with everything in it. Her whole life was ripped away in a moment leaving her with absolutely nothing besides a wedding ring and her own bittersweet memories.
RDO show us she's kinda always been prickly and distrusting, and isn't very sociable. She isolates herself from the gang, and truthfully doesn't care for most of its members. She only forms real friendships with a select few -- Abigail, mainly, and Arthur -- one of whom dies, and the other she loses contact with for several years. For the most part, Sadie is utterly alone.
Sadie admits to being passive suicidal and that is why she's so reckless in her pursuit of revenge; part of her hopes she'll get herself killed so that the nightmare will be over and she can see her Jake again. It's made clear to the audience that hunting down and killing the last of the O'Driscoll Boys did nothing to ease her pain. In the back of her mind, she still looks forward to death.
So yes, she's cool. But Sadie Adler did not go through all that just to be reduced to a sexy girlboss in the eyes of the fandom. Rant over ✌️

I appreciate every single person who has ever liked, commented, reblogged and/or bookmarked my fics, but especially those who show love to the stories that feature my original characters.
Don't get me wrong, I totally understand why the OC fics tend to be overlooked in favour of those with canon characters and ships, and I'm really glad people enjoy those I've written! But there's an extra special bit of validation when folks read and enjoy the characters and storylines I dreamt up myself :3
