sometimes you have to sit down and decide "do i think this was a bad narrative choice or is this just the part of my brain that wants to see all my favorite characters end the story perfectly happy and thriving." and its surprisingly hard to tell sometimes because that part of my brain is loud as fucccckkkk.

ten people you'd like to get to know better game

yoinked from @kirjavas. was gonna post this on my main but i figured this place is barren enough, so i'll give it some content

last song: magnanimity (bigger man) by rabbitology

currently watching: technically watching cowboy bebop but also not really. last thing i watched was la casa de los espíritus tho. i guess i'm also technically watching downton abbey and yellowstone.

current obsession: i JUST downloaded easy delivery co and it's quickly taking over my life. i've also been thinking constantly about the pjo fics i'm writing. as well as whatever co-writing thing my best friends and i have going on at any given moment

currently reading: the chinese garden by rosemary manning

currently working on: i'm writing a fantasy book! (also getting my graduate thesis ig)

Hi Pía! Bravegoodbird is still here, she's just less active since the HDM show finished. I hope you're doing well!

last song: Florida by Elio Mei

currently watching: Also Downton Abbey! What are the odds? I'm about to watch the final episode of The Way Home too, then afterwards I need to get back on Northern Exposure.

current obsession: uhhh Project Hail Mary hehe. That film has had my heart in a headlock (heartlock?) for months. It's been a while since I've gotten so into a popular thing and it feels really energizing!

currently reading: The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

currently working on: Writing some responses in the Discord RPG I play with my irl friends. Best of luck on your book and your thesis!!!

Inspired by my reread of La Belle Savage! This was my first landscape drawing, and it was definitely challenging! Also water is so difficult!

I don't go here but I feel like "It's a metaphor. Don't force it to do the work of a fact." is a great statement about literature and fan-content in general.
