you SHOULD spend four hours working out which word is making that one sentence read funny. replacing that word is WAY more important than finishing the novel, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise

“…Looking more deeply into what you read or create is healthy.” A good article with a nuanced understanding of criticism and the multiplicity of shared fandom spaces. Actually like a lot of the articles by this author for their consideration. www.teenvogue.com/story/fanfic...

Watching Tipping the Velvet. 👯‍♀️

I looked at goats, picked too many pumpkins, and put up Halloween decor today. Also went on a walk and found an abandoned overripe zucchini squash in the trailhead parking lot?? I’d leave it too. 😂

It feels so good to see yourself in fiction but it's even better to be seen in reality. 💞

Thinking about James Baldwin's Another Country and the "what was it like to be a man, condemned to men?" line. And because I can't be normal here's an old write up on the gendered scripts at play that Vivaldo imposes on Eric during their sexual encounter. lavendre.dreamwidth.org/103547.html

Finished that tome from FFXVI! Making it makes me wanna scoop up more leather tooling bits fer sure! #FinalFantasy

Stopped on the street to let traffic out of a parking lot on the way to work and didn’t even get a wave of acknowledgment. I’m evil now.

🧵I enjoy that Clive was raised in dysfunction because it keeps human volition in question, right up until the end. How "free" is Clive really, when he's raised to see protecting Joshua as the core of his life's meaning? Although there's a beauty to their brotherly love, there's an undeniable +

it's chicken noodle soup season

I think it's interesting how stalwart Terence is vs Dion, who while attentive and firm in his duty, is always exhibiting self-restraint to supersede his own feelings.

FFXVI loc. dir. M-C. Koji Fox, voice dir. Morgan Rushton/Oli Chance, and voice actors Ben Starr (Clive), Stewart Clarke (Dion) & Christopher York (Gav) spend an hour talking about the creation of lore book 'Logos: The World of Final Fantasy XVI':

Meditating on the making of Logos vid. Spinning around in circles. I know what you are.

You know you’ve had a day when you find yourself feasting on fried chicken from the local grocery store deli in your car before even leaving the parking lot.

Thinking abt how Tolkien was a fan of Mary Renault (his ex student BTW). And he wrote abt being "deeply engaged" with her work. It lives completely rent free in my mind. Like she almost exclusively wrote twinks from the ancient near east edging. This is like if GRRM was a huge fan of MXTX.

Lrt coughs. Must I even say who anymore.

he had spent his life learning how to choose to do what he had no choice but to do.

But each deed you do, each act, binds you to itself and to its consequences, and makes you act again and yet again. Then very seldom do you come upon a space, a time like this, between act and act, when you may stop and simply be. Or wonder who, after all, you are.

Scratching at the walls of my stupid text boxes. Parsing thoughts into prose is the final boss truly.

Waving a wand at Terence. I bewitch you with being as deranged and lost as Dion. No moral high ground or spiritual guide route for you. Your camaraderie and ordinariness compels me… grit your teeth and take a bite of the dirt etc etc!

I learned today that you're not supposed to let your artichokes bloom before harvest. Feast for the eyes only this year. 🧍‍♀️
