Jane Hawkins and Captain Flint

"My, my. What do we have here?"

"Jane... Jane Hawkins, Captain."

Cover for my (as of yet incomplete) gender bent take on Treasure Island, with a fairy in the role of Captain Flint.

Commissioned from the very talented artist @butterfly-latte who's a delight to work with. I strongly recommend her.

her: i learned about the moon so i could talk to you about the moon

him:and? what did you learn about the moon?

her: that i only care about my version of the moon

him: and it's nothing like the real one?

her: well, they're both round and they both hang in the sky, but that's about it

Hi loves,

Now that Fault Lines is slowly, dangerously, emotionally dragging us closer to The Falcon and The Winter Soldier timeline, I have reached a very serious crossroads.

Do I watch YouTube recaps like a responsible writer with limited time?

Or do I simply binge-watch the whole thing again and pretend it’s “research”?

Because either way, I already know what’s going to happen. I’m going to open one episode for “plot accuracy” and then immediately get distracted by Wyatt Russell and Sebastian Stan existing on my screen.

Not that I’m complaining.

Honestly, this fic is about to become a war zone of angst, bad decisions, old wounds, new feelings, and me yelling at my notes like they personally betrayed me. So if I suddenly start spiraling about timelines, character arcs, and John Walker’s entire face… mind your business. It’s for the craft.

Thank you, as always, for loving this messy little heartbreak machine with me. We are inching closer, and I fear none of us are emotionally prepared.

Now that Fault Lines is getting closer to The Falcon and The Winter Soldier timeline, should I…

Watch YouTube recaps like a responsible writer

Binge-watch the whole show again “for research”

Do both and pretend I have self-control

there's nothing stopping you from writing.

okay, well, maybe the internet being spotty. or your mind that hasn't stopped racing in nearly two hours. or the fact you lost your favorite purple pen in your couch cushions and it's as if the cushion monster devoured it. or the weather is just so nice that you have to go outside and do nothing but stand there. or maybe it's raining and you want to take a fat nap instead of function properly. or maybe you need to take a drive. or maybe you're up at 4:34 AM typing this instead of sleeping or doing something productive (*cough* writing your wip *cough*). or MAYBE it's your plot. or maybe it's because the characters are flat. maybe you messed something up in chapter seven and when you look back on it, you realize it completely invalidates an entire sequence in chapter ten. or maybe your title is so cheesy and you can't bear to look at it anymore. or maybe, maybe, maybe—

breathe. take a breather with me, okay?

you are always going to find an excuse, especially when it gets difficult (in your mind, in your life, in the world). be kind to yourself, and do not forget that it's okay to find an excuse. it's okay to not want to write sometimes. but come back to it when you get the chance. come back to it when you're in the right mindset and you can give life to your work, just like you are trying to give life to yourself, however it may arrive.

you deserve to make excuses, but do not let them keep you from telling your story.
