Adding to this because I have two jobs and work all the hours. If notebooks fail, use an electronic form of notebook like the notes app on your phone or Google docs.

I’m also a sucker for a good pen but that’s just me.

Do anything and everything so your ideas don’t die.

Hello Marie! Please help me, I have no time to write and am again at that annoying phase where I keep jumping between projects so much that I don't get anything actually done with any of them anyway, but I have so many thoughts and whumpy headcanons and fic ideas about Elrond during the War of Elves and Sauron in the Second Age and I don't know what to do with any of them but also I just wanna see Elrond hurt a lil bit (or a lot, lol) but I don't want to look up any fics bc none of them will do it the way I want anyway and now I don't know what to do with all my Middle-Earth and Elrond feels 😂

Notebooks. OMG notebooks help me so much when I get like this. Then I can preserve the ideas I'm thinking of and even snippets of scenes I want to include, outlines for the stories, etc. That way I can try and decide which one wants my attention NOW, and then be able to go back to the others and remember what I was going to do. I feel like we might have talked about notebooks/journals before and perhaps you already use some form of that, but that's my advice, for what its worth :)

Now as your friend, I say please, Erdariel, write all of the things because I want to read all of the things :)

^^^ Me at my fast food job, every. single. day.

Me: “Welcome! May I offer you a free mask?”

Visitor: [looks around incredulously] “But why? There’s no one else here.”

Me: “...well...there’s me?”

Visitor: [laughs] “You don’t have anything to worry about.”

Fanfiction Writer Asks

30) In contrast to 29 is there a story which gets lots of love which you kinda eye roll at?

TAT: it may be a mild one but it's a treasured classic, where the the one taking care of someone with a cold or the flu catches it themselves next

A timeless classic I will never be tired of!

[librarified2004]

I love you.

Thank you for being the one friend I would allow the police to call when I was unexpectedly whumped by an escalator. I hope you enjoyed me flirting with the hot doctor because of the drugs.

I’m sorry there wasn’t good waiting room whump, just a puking guy puking.

Lastly, I love that this happened six years ago and it’s still our favorite joke. Whump on, my Riebee.

La la la, let’s pretend Infinity War didn’t happen for a quick moment, shall we?  (Here is the Infinity-War-compliant comic.)

[2017][2016][2015][2014] [my Cap stuff]

Few quick notes:

Actually, according to the 1923 Supreme Court interpretation of the Naturalization Act, you could also become a naturalized citizen if you were of African descent.  1924 was when Native Americans were included.  Gotta exclude those Asiatics, though.   But this is too complicated to put in that one line so… yeah.

I wanted Steve and Bucky to be in more worker strikes, but apparently the biggest ones in NYC were either immediately post-WWII, or in 1911 following the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, and most of the protestors were Jewish women who worked in the garment industry.  (And lbr, they totally missed the Civil Rights movement.)

Here’s the quick Wikipedia link to the child labor thing. :)  I learned so much making this comic!

Happy Birthday, Steve.  The world is not that great right now, both here and in Marvel-verse, but let’s keep on trucking.

So glad for the like three of my friends who get this.

People always think if you want to hang out you have to DO something. Like… No.. Invite me over to your house, introduce me to your pets, give me a plate of Oreos and your wi-fi password. We can sit together in silence for HOURS.

[librarified2004]

This is the opposite of a problem.

[librarified2004]

This.

SO RAISE HELL, DARLING.
