#i think i first listened to this song around the time Behind The Codes became an official project #My brain probably associated the feelings of excitement and fear with the song so ig that's why I love it so much #On one side. I love working on the Behind The Codes #there's an overwhelming amount of ways to tell this story: brainstorming. designing. animating. writing and rewriting until your brain- #starts to fry and get foggy with so many ideas. its both good and stressful to push your limits like this #On another side. I'm constantly anxious about it #I've always been afraid to admit the things I enjoy as well as the things that i create #You don't allow yourself to create and embrace new things even when you're essentially alone #and yes I'm aware of the fact that there will be people who won't enjoy the series- which isn't what bothers me #What bothers me is that I might regret certain decisions #'This is not the message I wanted to convey' #'This is not the story I wanted to tell' #The decision to share this song here is the clearest example of what I mean: #Part of me says: this song is so btc oh my god please put it at the end credits wait THERE IS A 2ND PART OF IT AND IT'S EVEN COOLER OOOAAAA #then there's the main thought: this song is so stupid. it's so corny in a way it makes me uhghu7ujhkjg.. #i won against my negative thoughts today. yay #this whole post is just me rambling and being anxious. i dont even know what to say hjdsfbwjkefkdsf #bye :waves: #starbstalks

when I thought I had celiac a little while ago I was reading about people's experiences with it and saw someone say that it was isolating because "eating is a social activity". and. yeah! and it's fun! I used to love eating, I used to use fun food as a motivator or reward myself for doing stuff that was hard. and now I can never do that again. I have five holidays to get through in the next two weeks and do not have any treats I can eat.

#rambling #three sibling birthdays #Christmas and new years #Today is my sister's birthday and I've already cried over the fact that I won't be able to eat cake #I used to have some box mixes that I thought were okay (for brownies and banana bread respectively) but with this diagnosis I've realized #that they're not actually okay and they're contributing to the constantly feeling sick #I want to feel better. I barely remember what it feels like to not be in stomach discomfort #but I miss eating. so bad #I started crying again writing this post so I should probably stop thinking about it

depressing thought of the day, dean winchester is just wandavision-ing in that bunker and he doesn't even know it. like. of course he doesn't have the powers of creation and destruction at the tip of his fingers but he is a human being mired in guilt and grief and pain, and it often ends up manifesting in ways that hurt the people he loves even if he doesn't want to. and like. how would you even save him. he has to save himself. but who's gonna tell him what he's doing to himself and everyone around him. who's gonna make him listen. how's this gonna work.

#probably won't work is the thing #i guess in this parallel agatha would be chuck??? #where he isn't orchestrating everything at first but he's making it worse for himself #also this is not a direct parallel btw im jusg drawing a comparison between what wanda does (controlling and rewriting the present and past #to be able to even bear her existence) with what dean does (controlling and rewriting the present and past to the limits of his capcity to #br able to live with himself) #and like truly i do think. he thinks he's DOING THE RIGHT THING #jusy like wanda thinks she's doing the right thing! she's giving rhe people of the town peace!!! #but she isn't actually they are living her pain #anyway. ANYWAY. i watched a video about WandaVision today. i could write a fic where i can illustrate this better #but I won't so here's a stupid post #doe is talking again #dean posting #not deancrit but also not not deancrit make of that what you will

not every writing needs to be published. ever since I started focusing less on that and more on the actual act of writing I am having so much fun. with 0 obligations to like. publish within deadlines and such I can just. write. do what I love on my own time. and it makes me so happy

#ambie.txt #I promise I will shut up abt me being back to writing #except its something I am so proud of so I probably won't sorry dhsnnhv #it's why I'm not here lately. I've spent most of today writing and while it is a bit slow it's exactly the pace I like #I used to work on a pretty big longfic for over a year and I loved it but it stressed me out #since I needed to write periodically for updates and such #I think it's much better to write a fic in completion first or at least a few chapters ahead #but rn I am working on a personal project that makes me very happy #i am doing what I do best without stress. bliss

a minute of silence to my skills to estimate how long a project is ever going to take

#my google calendar and Carl bot (and my friends) have been kind enough to inform me today was the estimated posting date of heist au #suffice to say that is not happening #it would have been rad to make a habit out of the co-occurrence of starting a new job and starting to post a finished WIP but alas #that will not be happening for a while longer #I have no idea when will I find the time for writing between two jobs and the big bang but. we'll work something out. #but hey it's good to give your projects breathing space so your brain can do the work in the background and solve the problems for you #I'll probably need to go back and revamp the whole last chapter I've been working on #but I'm still too sick and jet lagged and sick to be thinking about that so I'll consume some more media in the meantime #and complain about how bad the fic I'm listening to is. like god it's supposed to be so romantic and cute and he's literally #depriving her bodily autonomy and her friends support him I want to leave a strongly worded comment so bad #I will not be doing that but god it's so awful I should have stopped listening to this fic long ago. so that's a lesson learned. #put the fucking fic down there's plenty of stuff that's going to be better #hot take I sure no one saw coming sometimes things that are popular are actually bad #anyway have some stream of fucking consciousness /ref to another fic I'm fighting hard to keep discontinued #I know I won't like it why is this so hard #heist au should have been posted today based on maths btw. maths I did wrong for the first time which means it should have been posted #a year ago really #not like I have the proper structure to do a heist au daily #but it would have been fun to post the first chapter on the exact day it takes place. idk just for flavour #does all this make any sense? hardly. this is a diary entry and my two braincells are firing random thoughts at each other #that's fine though. it's all fine. here have some popcorn to go with all this nonsense 🍿🍿🍿 <3 #(and also all the drama in the new shadow and bone season. ugh it's so good I love Wesper SO. MUCH. or just Waylan. and Nikolai. #he's my blorbo assigned at first relevant information. relavant information: he's my friend's blorbo #but gods he's so my type it's scary. of course I'll have him as my blorbo. of course of course! #*puts him on a shelf next to Adrien Draco and Hunter* #*steps back to think before putting Waylan there too and sitting Zuko on the far end* #war crimes look so good on them :3 #miaing #heist au

I think I'm gonna send my manuscript for book 1 of my duology to some agents tomorrow!!!

#things are getting real #or are they if no one replies lmao #anyway i spent today writing an author bio and a synopsis and a back of book blurb #so tomorrow im going to go through all agents and publishers i can think of and see what happens #probably won't hear from anyone for three months #and Australian publishers seem to hate fantasy which sucks #my story is magic realism so I'm gonna try sending it to some normie publishers anyway #well wish me luck!

(Mostly.)

#I've been quiet for a while because I've been so exhausted #haven't touched my computer in a week except for some editing I had to do for someone IRL and I was still half asleep for that #got a reprieve from the long shifts today tho so more awake #gonna do those three sentence fics that have been in my asks #ngl tho I probably will go quiet again #maybe not right away because it's supposed to rain Monday so it won't be long hours if it does just normal hours #and my day tomorrow should be short because I'm not on the crew doing the long shift #but I also have a bunch of other things planned for tomorrow because we weren't gonna work at all so uh #probably not gonna do much on the writing front

[violetsareblue-selfships]

good morning!! <3

#usual plans for today hehe #i'll probably just take it easy today otherwise #if i find the energy to write i will; but i won't beat myself up if i can't today #(especially since i'm the one who has to take out the trash and everything on thursdays lol) #but anyways!! #i am rotating zayne around in my head #so today's bound to be good #and i hope your day/night is good as well! #<3 #morning rambles

... I’m supposed to write an essay. And here I’m, translating yet another song today :’) 

#eisy speaks #and I'm gonna meet with my friend today #so I better keep writing that essay #*sighs* #yeah I probably won't do that unless I finish my translation

On a happier note, I am enjoying having to research baby milestones for the Midwifery Charge AU (fic and nostalgia rambles below the cut)

(which at this point, thanks to the help of a good friend, I've realised is best done as a collection of lil one shots from moments in it. I just. don't have the mental anything nor the organisation to do a multichap full fic rn. Y'all know I lose steam too easily on those and just don't do them as well as I do simple oneshots. I wrote a full original trilogy at age 10 and again at like age 21; I used all my 'full multichap project' juice too early in life AND both trilogies kind of sucked ass. RIP to them may their memory never find me again let alone be a blessing but I digress)

Bc it means I get to remember all the cute shit the cousins did when I was helping raise them and like. certain bits can be used for baby in the fic even!

Like how the oldest one learned to roll over from one direction, but then couldn't replicate it going the other way, and she would just. lose her shit wailing until someone rolled her over that way. Then she was good until oh fuck oh no, she rolled over right to left again and to her lil brain it was too different from rolling left to right, she's stuck forever oh g-oh hey someone rolled her back to her tummy. neat.

We never let her sit for more than a second or two stuck (mostly to try and encourage her to. ya know. Realise that she could in fact roll herself both ways and it would be fine. Took her time but she got there lol) and I'm just

Dying at the image of the crew so carefully taking turns watching Baby (who I'm gonna reveal bc I don't think I have yet? if i have ignore me lol, is named Basilica after Izzy's deadname (he gave her the name, there's an entire Thing abt it and little moments abt his journey as a trans man tucked into this au), going by Baz for short (thank u to the aforementioned good friend for this as a nickname for the full name, bc I was struggling to figure out how to shorten it and Baz is !!! perfect!!!) )

And she's been with them longer than expected. 4-6 months is the average that I've found for when babies learn to roll over, so maybe she's abt 5 months old at this point.

Doing tummy time with Fang and she does it! Right to left rolling over, absolutely perfect, stunning, no notes, they're gonna make her a medal but-

Oh no. She's gotta roll left to right now, and instead of rolling the other way she just panics and weeps and everyone on this ship is a big fuckin softy (i get it lol, I was with the cousins) so they keep rolling her over the other way to calm her.

Until they have a crew meeting and Jim mentions Nana telling them that sometimes, babies have to just. cry for a minute or two and learn how to do the thing. You can help, but first you have to let them try and encourage them to do it on their own. (they gloss over the fact that Jim also makes clear with this anecdote that Nana absolutely would have taught a baby how to throw a knife. And honestly, is she wrong for this? who can say, not me, but I like knives and think a baby with a knife is hilarious, so I'm biased. I'm never gonna have kids, don't worry lmao.)

Cut to everyone having tummy time while the ship is docked/anchored somewhere safeish (let's be real, for the Kraken crew, nowhere is really fully safe with all the raiding they've been doing. But Ed and Izzy and Fang all know the quieter spots other ppl have forgotten that they can rotate going to for moments like this)

In a circle, around Basilica on the blanket Frenchie designed and knit for her, while she whines and cries bc goddamn it, why is rolling the other direction so hard? So scary?

And they're all lowkey trying not to cry (Ed and Izzy the most out of all of them, for varying personal reasons that all ultimately culminate in a want for Basilica to have a better childhood than they did, including the little moments/early achievements like this) while babytalking like mad, trying to encourage her to roll the other way

It's just not happening, but juuuust as Izzy is abt to break and gently roll her over, a cannon booms in the distance

And if that adorable little shit doesn't roll left to right, then again, trying to lift her head up to see where the big noise came from. She's not even crying anymore, she's just curious!

Unfortunately, said cannon is a sign they need to head out, so they have to pick her up and get her settled in Ed's room(really Ed and Izzy's room, by this point. Are they back together in a healthy way? Not really, but they're Aware of their mutual issues and are just barely talking some of them through. or starting that process, at least) for her own safety and now she's crying bc she's so mad! She wanted to keep rolling over! She was literally on a roll, how fucking dare they pluck her off the floor so easily!!

Despite the potential incoming danger of another ship, everyone is giggling as they get the ship moving. I'm envisioning it like. U know when a baby is So Mad So Incensed, they're making those angry babbles that are loud enough to hear a room away? That sound is all they can hear aside from the waves and the far off cannon fire, and it's a mood lightener. Yeah, they might be about to fight for their lives, but listen to her! She's swearing! (I do absolutely have an idea for her first word being 'fuck' thanks to Izzy lmaooo)

And they're all as excited to escape not just for their lives, but so they can lay the blanket out again and have her show off her new skill. A little soft moment in between having to fight to save themselves or raiding for more loot (and baby gear/supplies, my god not a one of them ever thought they'd be threatening ppl for additional cloth diapers but. here they are lol.)

Anyway. Eventually I'm gonna get all the snippets posted up in an ao3 collection, including the few I've already posted here. When I get that started I'll drop a link, in the meantime I'm gonna see if I can get my brain to actually finish another oneshot for this au today lmao

#text post #long post #adding that tag to b safe bc i scrolled but have no concept of if this is too long or not so it probably is #i also need to start writing the sadder bits of this au that happen away from basilica/when she isn't in the room #maybe i should dip into those for today idk idk #i could also tackle the draft i have that starts with Izzy having his morning coffee and a convo with her #aka she babbles wildly and he nods and asks questions completely seriously #'i can see your point but do you really think you can keep a crew under control that way?' '*incomprehensible babbles*' #'of course that's your methodology I shouldn't question you.' and he sips his coffee and giggles while also lowkey hoping #that she won't wind up ever having to manage a crew. or if she does may she be many years older and able to keep herself safe #bc Izzy's fear then is that he and ed and everyone might already be dead and gone and yes she'll be an adult but. he worries anyway #i should be writing instead of tagging all this brain baby cmon and let me actually write today i am BEGGING

sigh. ebony's birthday is at some point this month isnt it.

sigh. i'm not gonna be able to get this idea to combine that with a sort of last hurrah to finally kill off the ask blog format for atbb out of my head am i.

#hey dont click that “see all” button for the tags. just dont. its not worth it #not giving any character tags because secrets #but. ugh. i had the idea to give him his own mini ask event at some point last year and never went through with it #but now. well i've already pretty much fully decided atbb's just gonna be a fic series right. i need to post about that at some point #so what if. you know. just as a final celebration to what atbb was #and also me somewhat remedying being sad that y'all won't get to actually TALK to this fucker #and also me getting some feel for his voice since i still won't get to write him for a MINUTE #it would be almost entirely text tho. probably use the chat font lol #probably the intro to the event would have a pic of him and then the ending and MAYBE some bits in between #for the inevitable Can We See Your Mouth question #but just enough to not burn me the fuck out #but also would anyone even send anything in lmao....kinda a big part of hiatusing atbb at all was lack of engagement #hm. maybe i will post about ebony a tad on my normal blog. just to test the waters #not today tho becase i need to work on my finals so so fucking bad oh god everything's due tomorrow #but. soon maybe. #OR maybe i'll chicken out again lmao who knows!
