Current Predicaments

(As of September 26) oof it’s been a while since I updated this one

I say predicaments because—well—you know those authors that can write one story at a time? I am not one of them. The muses are in a constant fight over which fic ideas will get the brain's attention. Think like in sleeping beauty with the fairies constantly going 'pink! no, blue! Pink! BLUE!!' and the third fairy is just trying to keep the cake from collapsing... except instead of just two colors they're fighting over an ever-increasing number of WIPs.

Fandom(s) author is writing fic for:

....so i recently dove headfirst into a new fandom by reading approximately 120 manhwa chapters in about three days, and then proceeded to go back and start reading the novel said manhwa was based off from the beginning. i'm currently stalled at chapter uh,,,200-ish out of 550. This is mostly because the combination of consuming new content and not having writing deadlines apparently sent the muses feral.

i've started eight new WIPs in the past two months (assuming i haven't forgotten anything) and that's not counting the two animatic ideas (which are progressing very slowly because i have no clue what i'm doing but i'm having fun so i might actually finish them someday)

oh! yeah, that new fandom is Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. I will probably be in ORV-only mode creation-wise until the muses calm down which...probably won't happen until i actually finish the novel.

Recent WIPs that have been worked on:

1) ORV- 4th wall break angst, also fun with 10th scenario drama bc i am the kind of writer who enjoys bending canon to their will

2) ORV- YJH and KDJ ride a motorcycle. KDJ is tired and YJH is having Emotions. that's it that's the fic

3) ORV- epilogue angst (v1): angst here is focused on KDJ not being recognized by the fam

4) ORV- epilogue angst (v2): angst here meaning KDJ wakes up after The End and can't find any of the fam. ...saying he's not doing well in this fic is a severe understatement

yes i have two post- epilogue ideas no i do not know anything about the actual canon epilogue but i'm writing them anyway

5) ORV- YJH gets turned into a raven; chaos ensues

6) ORV- another animal transformation but this time YJH gets transformed in the middle of a battle and suddenly having cat-senses (including balance) is not the kind of thing that goes smoothly when you're suddenly surrounded by too much of everything. this one's mostly focused on hurt/comfort

7) ORV- breadmaker; i had a random idea of an OC who survives the apocalypse by baking bread. they are widely known for being a source of delicious bread and if people try to attack them those attackers tend to get run off by a mob of angry incarnations

8) ORVxKHR- the apocalypse seems like a great cause of lots of people awakening Dying Will Flames; also KDJ and YJH are bonded Skies

...turns out i did forget one oops

9) ORV- loop fic, more fun with 10th scenario angst. how to say this without spoilers.... so The Amulet stuff still happens but i decided to make it worse by creating a reset loop that triggers when a character dies. KDJ is trying to stop the loops but he can only remember the loop immediately prior to the current one

A note: me working on these things does not guarantee that anything will be posted/updated in the near future, it's just a general idea of what I've been focused on.

If you want to make fanart, banners, podfic, translations, etc based on one of my fics: Go For It!!! Please do make sure you @ me or drop an ask (or otherwise let me know) when you post it so i can see it too ٩(^ᴗ^)۶

#song talks #ficblogging #a glimpse into the author's mind #permission statement #y'all i would be *thrilled* if people made stuff based on my fics

The Tumbleweed installation just went online in Kern County. It can store clean energy and discharge it for eight hours straight, a harbinge

A new large scale battery project in California is now the first in the country that can discharge stored, clean energy for up to eight hours at a time. The longer discharge time is a crucial next step in meeting 24 hour energy needs with clean power.

Battery storage is now being built at a higher rate than any other kind of on-demand (i.e. not intermittent power sources like renewables) power.

my most ungrounded and unresearched fear is that so many companies are pushing AI in part because it builds them a pathway towards a subscription model for a huge number of things that should not be subscription, but theoretically could be:

do you want to talk to verizon's help desk because there's an error on your bill? to access a real agent, you have to pay for Verizon Access+, only 5.99 a month.

want to filter out all the fake job postings from the real ones? subscribe to Indeed: Advanced Tactics and only verified postings will appear on your dash.

sick of the infinite ai slop? buy Google Premium; it'll automatically detect ai within a site and gives it a credibility score. with premium plus, you can shuffle high-credibility results to the top.

do you want a "luxury" experience? well, you'd have to pay for that luxury, and since the company sure doesn't want to pay its employees; the cost would fall to the consumer.

when automation has made every experience unpleasant; the experience of genuine humanity will be commodified.

This is already happening – one of the softwares used by a museum I work at only lets you talk to a human help agent if you have their premium subscription. It's such bullshit

the fact you are not the only one in these notes saying "no this is already happening; i have to pay money to speak to a representative" is just... really awesome! you said a software used by museums is doing this shit? okay! great! wonderful!! anybody know where i can scream

It was the very first and rushed first attempt so it’s far from perfect

people take "drug seeking is a nonsense framework" to mean that like, no one ever lies to get drugs in medical contexts which is just categorically untrue but the question they don't bother to ask themselves is "why do people feel the need to lie to get drugs?" which leads into the further question of "why would someone abuse stimulants/opioids/etc" which is like. i feel like kinda the major question one should ask no. why do people do drugs. what reasons might someone have to lie. why do we exist in a system in which people feel the only way to make decisions with their own body is to lie to medical professionals.

thewrithingsouth

drug seeking is a nonsense framework not because people don't ever lie to get drugs for recreational use or whatever but because people shouldn't have to go through medical hoops to get drugs period. regardless of if for recreational use or otherwise.

When the story has a sequence where the characters each get personally tortured with their exact personalized greatest fears and traumas

"all you ever do is complain" that's not true. I also resent.

The vet noted that Vice had a little bit of plaque built up on his teeth at his appointment last week, so we're now ten minutes into teaching him to tolerate having his teeth brushed. Step two will be increased tolerance and three will be finding a pet toothpaste he likes.

The things I do for lint, man.

hellenhighwater

So this is literally only ten minutes of training on the toothbrush, but prior to this I have made a point of occasionally touching teeth while petting for all of my cats, because dental checks are part of routine vet visits and this normalizes that kind of contact. So sometimes while I'm petting their faces, I'll move their lips and press against their teeth a little.

Then, I introduced the toothbrush! It's one of the soft bristle spares I keep packaged in my guest room-- I opened it up, swirled it through the treat jar to cover it in crumbs, and held it out for investigation. Mmmm tastes like treats

And then I used the toothbrush to brush over his face and head, which he enjoyed quite a bit! This is a good face, trust me. Gradually I focused on petting and brushing near his mouth, eventually bringing a second hand in to stabilize his head. Lots of treats at this stage. And then...a little bit of brushing and still more treats.

He's food motivated enough to stick around throughout this whole process. If anything, I'd encourage you to occasionally gently handle your cat's mouth during normal petting, just to make vet visits easier.

Write that long fic. Those two plot points and a fetish will make a great 5+1. It'll be the best oneshot you ever wrote.

asynca

Write that one-shot. Those 3 chapters will be the best 10 chapters you ever wrote

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

alagaisia

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

alagaisia

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)
