#That's another story

[ladybugsimblr]

Let’s get married. On the way to Tartosa, the countdown clock sped up again. 😑😐 The new deadline was right around 9 am! Malik and Genesis got ready on the ferry hoping someone at City Hall would take pity on them, and possibly open early. No go. Malik was certain everything was ruined, but Gen remembered something she found on her recent dive into wedding planning. Let’s hope this works…

#when i saw 3 hours left at 6am #i had to close the laptop #gently bc we're struggling right now lol #that's another story #this game was trying to snatch our coins! #🤬 #please note my boo slash assistant helped me decide on gen's dress #gotta love him #i let him keep the volume up on Call of Duty #compromise! #ladybug gameplay #random legacy #gen 1 #genesis + malik

For ship asks, I will be a little evil -

What ship do you hate the most?

Ohnooo

After thinking about this for a while ... Because there's a lot of ships I can 'understand' if it's framed well but I have to say Snami*ne...

I was a jury in a fic contest a good while ago and it had a lot of Snamione shippers and it didn't matter how it was written, I kind of never could get behind it.

I can't say if it's the age gap or general differences, but it just always felt like they were too far apart as people to work. I can't say I genuinely hate it but I do not understand it at all and I will not be reading it any more voluntarily

Oh I am all about this trend.

My favorite thing about your writing is its precision. You could be writing the raunchiest most extra af smutty scene and the way you use the language perfectly communicates exactly what is going on and the nuanced way each character feels about it, which translates to a very scintillating reader experience. Snappy, punchy, hot.

!!! thank you!!! precision is what i strive for, always -- i get so so obsessive about sentences and i'll just spend ages on them.

What is more important for the purposes of this tale, I have shattered nerves. Never mind how I got them. That's another story, and I'm not telling you the whole story of my life. I have them; and one effect of this is that I can't bear being alone for long.

brian's on one of his games with the guys. I'm about 5 seconds from throwing the box with his new headset in it at him cause the cord on the existing headset stretches across the room at almost hip height and it's just enough that I can't go under or over it to get around.

i dont like the idea that kids these days are doing their fandom rps with ai chatbots. that's how you're supposed to make lifelong friends as a weird really online teen.

“In the war film, a soldier can hold his buddy—as long as his buddy is dying on the battlefield. In the western, Butch Cassidy can wash the Sundance Kid’s naked flesh—as long as it is wounded. In the boxing film, a trainer can rub the well-developed torso and sinewy back of his protege—as long as it is bruised. In the crime film, a mob lieutenant can embrace his boss like a lover—as long as he is riddled with bullets. 

Violence makes the homo-eroticism of many “male” genres invisible; it is a structural mechanism of plausible deniability.”

–Tarantino’s Incarnational Theology: Reservoir Dogs, Crucifixions, and Spectacular Violence. Kent L. Brintnall.

I took the text from Frankenstein: A New Musical

#Frankenstein is such a good story because after Victor declined to make another wretch like the Creature #the Creature decided to make a wretch out of Victor #it simply doesn’t get better than this #my art #frankenstein #Frankenstein a new musical

There's a version of the "don't go grocery shopping while hungry" rule specifically for writers where you should never under any circumstances be allowed to touch your draft within 3 hours of reading a really good story. Because sometimes when you read something great your head goes "fuck this is so much better than my stuff I should make that more like THIS instead!" Look at me. That's the devil talking and you should close the document NOW.

#you will make superficial edits that do not gell well with the rest of your work #and won't actually capture what you thought was so good about that story #close the doc. sit down. think about it for a while. inspiration is fine. getting a 'eureka' moment from another story is fine #but if you find yourself comparing your work one to one with someone else's and taking any differences to be flaws on your part then STOP #you will never write good stuff by trying to make it look less like you wrote it #writing #writing advice #guess who just had to go into her google doc history and undo a bunch of panic-induced edits #because she read a fic about the same characters she's writing for? #meeee. they aged badly within just a few hours of hindsight. learn from my mistakes #self-hatred is not a good motivation for creation #fic writing

What do I do

When you

Do that...

What do I say

When you

Say this?

What do i do

To keep you

Without tying you to me so tight,

That the ropes burn red into your heart

You undo me too.

#6 years #At this point I feel like screaming into the void #I'm really stupid #I have always been stupid #Hell I asked my first love about my second heartbreak in college #How stupid am i #I asked you to stay in my life #But what can I do but hold you here... #I'm pathetic #Absolutely trash #Please.... If you read the tags #Then maybe send a special message next time you message me #A little emoji of a random food #Then I know you saw this #It's not you Sarah... I don't know if you read any of this anymore but hoo boy #I heard you were engaged. Congrats! #I'm absolutely so happy for you my love. You've always deserved a deep happiness and love that I couldn't provide. #That's another story #I still want to tell you what happened then... #But you... The 6 years tag #You are loved by me and more #I wish you could see that

Mr. Riordan, it is truly a pleasure getting to experience your second draft.

#seriously tho what an amazing thing for an author #to get to revisit your series years later #and get to make all the tweaks now that you know exactly where the story is going #to go back with your theme crystalized in your head and say 'ok now this time on purpose!' #kiddo and I are enjoying the PJO series immensely #love demigods #wish adhd was real #now excuse me while I add 9 billion tags #percy jackson #pjo tv show #pjo #rick riordan #percy jackson and the olympians #disney+ #pjo series #percy jackson tv show #does this need to be tagged as a spoiler? I don't feel like it does #the suggested hashtag being spelled wrong is just *chefs kiss* #love that for us #anyway if this needs another tag tell me

Dick and Jason mutually agreed that if one of them calls Bruce "dad", the other does not say a word. 

Some criminal, which they caught: nice toys, kid.

Robin!Jason aka ray of sunshine: thanks. My dad made them for me.

Dick, trying to hold a laugh because it's cute: pff.

Jason: ?

Some criminal, confused: dad?

Jason, realizing what he just said and quickly turning red: Batman! I mean Batman! Batman made them for me!

Dick, already planning to blackmail him: aha, whatever you say, shorty.

On the same patrol.

Nightwing, doing something incredibly stupid: hah, dad's gonna soooo mad.

Jason "it's my turn, bitch" Todd: did you just call him dad?

Dick "stubborn ass" Grayson: no, I didn't.

Jason: yes, you did.

Dick: no, I did not!

Jason: yes. You. Did!

Dick, realizing that he lost: ...we won't mention it ever again.

Jason: deal.

Constantine has found an, as the colloquial term would be, easy mark.

He's just found out that the High Prince of the Infinite Realms is a freshly dead fourteen year old. And like, yeah, sucks that the kid died, he feels for him.

But also; the kid has a problem that's ridiculously easy to solve.

The American Government is trying to declare war on the realm that holds all universes together, and Constantine knows a few people who can bring that to light and get that shit shut down real fucking quick.

So he goes to Amity Park, to the little Prince's haunt so he can pin him down, help him out for "free", and work out a deal to call the American Government off.

Except the kid just wants him to do his stitches. Because the American Government wasn't bluffing, and has developed weapons that can and will harm the fabric of reality.

John does the kids stitches. They aren't very good, but they're the best he can do.

He sticks around.

He patches the little Prince up.

He...he gets attached.

He watches the GIW actually hurt the kid, seriously, to the extent that he actively steps in and gets himself labeled a terrorist by taking them out.

Now he's got an angry Big Three on the line, demanding to know what is going on, and he's realizing that he's a little past tricking a deal out of a kid that has too much power.

It's personal.
