I spent some time reflecting on this past year of writing, so here's the breakdown and a bunch of my thoughts, haha. It's been a really busy year!! You can tell where my life got a little more chaotic, in both good and bad ways - I had to skip some pieces of some months, but I did all I could to anticipate or make up for those pieces as they came. I did some more rambling about my thoughts on the things I wrote (and there's links to everything there, too) -I'll put that under a read more, because it got pretty long. Regardless, I just want to say that if you've read anything of mine this year, thank you. A big, big thank you.

The big WIPs:

The Forest (original) - 49,200 words - Okay I'm just linking to my big list of writing so you can read the summaries without patreon telling you to go away, but this is my original fic featuring Braith, Fern, Fae & Lola, a human, an elf, a fairy and another human. It's wlw & mlm and it's full of warm and colourful things and maybe some healing trauma because let's face it. What else do I write. Full word count is currently at 161,688 so far!

Two is a Crowd (sns fanfic) - 53,965 - my big canonverse introspective healing trauma fun times fiasco. Full word count is currently at 91,209 so far and yes. Yes it is slow burn.

The One-offs:

Winter (Fake)ation (original) - 9,635 words - I'm linking to the list of fics again but it's just under The Forest. This one is nsfw & fun & involves an exhausted & overworked Felix being taken on the closest thing to a vacation he can go by his very sweet best friend. She builds a beach in his room. It doesn't work. They go out. They meet Arlo. It's all mlm from there!

Irreversible (sns fanfic) - 2,136 words - I wrote this one for the my one, my only zine and it was really fun!! I haven't been in a lot of zines so it felt like a really big moment for me :)

SNS Month: 38,383 words - I'm linking to the collection here! It has all of them.

tied up and fallen loose - 2505 words - did you expect me to pick the bondage prompt? I didn't, but here it was! nsfw, obviously. the heat after battle - 2,177 words - who said all my fantasy writing has to have 10k words of worldbuilding backstory before we get to the good stuff. who said that. Nsfw!!

Fear. - 4,841 words - Sasuke always has to go through it, poor guy. like he hasn't been psychologically messed with enough. (I still think this was one of my favourites but I think it's because I like exploring and messing with conciousness vs. subconciousness) keeping busy - 4,483 words - Sasuke's gone & Naruto needs a million things to get his mind off of that.

Meet Your Match! - 7,010 words - a modern au, roommate au, collage au!!! It feels like it's been so long! with a fun little Valentines twist.

beds and lack thereof - 3,542 words - Naruto decides they're living together and Sasuke cannot figure out what the hell that means or if the idiot even knows what he's doing or why

how not to fix your sleep schedule - 3,739 words - a cute little imagining of the boys' life on a cabin by the ocean.

I’ve been gone a week. - 2,147 words - letters!! fun letters back & forth between the boys that ask you to picture what happened in between them :) this was a fun writing challenge. to possess; to have; as belonging to one - 2,514 words - this one was fun. Sasuke's back & he isn't going to let Naruto dodge questions anymore.

in nightmare and in health - 5,425 words - another soulmate AU, a bit more sad though! Cathartic, maybe?? It's a sort of reincarnation AU & does involve description of major character death in a past life.

Aaaand that brings our total word count to: 153,319! Which is a lot more than I expected, if I'm honest. It really felt like a scramble to find the time at a lot of points of this year. But I'm relieved to see I still managed to write quite a lot. A few years back I would never think about hitting these kinds of numbers, haha. I don't want to take that for granted, so I'll ride it out as long as it lasts.

If you've read this much, you are so sweet, thank you for indulging me :) I appreciate you. I hope the new year treats you well, and I'll keep writing to try to be part of that for as long as I can.

What If: Captain America Were Revived Today? #44 (April 1983) by Peter B. Gillis and Sal Buscema; Original Image by John Romita Sr.

In this What If? Marvel tale, Captain America is unfrozen in 1983 rather than the 1960s. Without the leadership of Steve Rogers, The Avengers disband. Meanwhile, a Captain America imposter, who calls himself a "real American," has decided to use his newfound influential media status to publicly support a National Identity Card to "deal with illegal aliens,” to suggest that members of civil rights groups "ought to think seriously as to whether or not their actions contribute to the strengthening of communist enemies," and declare that if those groups tear the country apart with protests, martial law is justified "for the peace to find a solution.”

Neighborhoods with large black populations (e.g., Harlem) are walled off and forced into poverty, and one character even mentions that Jewish people are being “put back into camps.” The right-wing politicians make sure that things like this aren’t shown on television, keeping the majority of the American public ignorant of the horrors committed with their indifferent support. The public are simultaneously told that with some sacrifices, America can be free once again. The fake Captain America confronts a group of peaceful protestors, and he is shot by a sniper (in what reads like an inside job), allowing the police to have “reason” to attack the protestors. The imposter does not die and instead uses the attack to provide more reason for the violent crackdown against protesting groups.

When the true Captain America is unfrozen, he is horrified to see what America has become, especially with his emblem stamped all over it. He immediately seeks out the resistance forces (who clearly represent the Black Panther Party) and joins their cause, stating that "the wrongs [he's] seen will take much more than one man to right -- but [he's] got a name to clear, a costume to unsoil-- and a country to die for!!"

By the time Steve joins them, the resistance only has one chance left to stop the American downfall: a political convention where the "America First" party will be able to secure its support to sweep the national elections and allow them "to return America to the pure and great nation [the] forefathers envisioned."

The resistance strikes just as the convention begins. The Captain America imposter is no match in a fight against the true Captain America -- especially against a Steve Rogers who's fucking pissed. ("Get up so I can knock you down!!")

With the imposter knocked unconscious, Captain America addresses the convention crowd, warning that an America that does not represent all its people does not deserve to exist at all; that liberty can be "as easily snuffed out [in America] as in Nazi Germany" and "as a people, we are no different from them."

The crowd realizes that the man speaking before them is the true Captain America and cheers. Captain America holds his hand up and silences them, stating that he will not allow them the chance to simply replace one idol with another. He alone can’t undo the horrible damage, and he pleads that there’s still a chance for the people to “find America once again.”

Fascism doesn’t change its tune, just its singers.

A 2021 Marvel Trumps Hate ( @marveltrumpshate ) commission, completed on 22-count aida cloth with embroidery floss and watercolors on a 9" diameter bamboo hoop.

#captain america #Steve Rogers #hand embroidery #fuck fascism #if you don't think cap says 'trans rights' then you're a fascist #i reread the issue to write the summary and it is a powerful stand-alone story #40 years later and still relevant #a part of me was worried that it wouldn't translate well to current events and.... welp #the commissioner asked that i make one minor change of 'freedom of all men' to 'freedom of all people'#i think that is a very appropriate update and i think 2023 cap (and good cap writer) would support the change #i know this is a super long post with a lot of image text -- if someone wrote Image ID text for me I'd be super grateful and i'll reblog it!#embroidery art #textile arts #embroidery #needlework #needlecraft #comics #mixed media #my work #also just let it be known that the first thing steve rogers says when he wakes up is:#'all right nazis! what have you done with Bucky?!'#(the Bucky in the issue is a fake too)#(the real Bucky will still be dead for another 20 years :(((((( )

Mk1 Random Drawings #7

The Descendant, Lady of the Taira Clan

She'll do anything to get her clan out from clutches of the Bakuto, even it makes her draw someone's blood from her tainted hands.

And now she knows where Sento is located, she must act fast. The sooner she gets there, the moment when she gets there, just like a swift from her blade, she'll freed her clan's freedom.

But destiny can be a hindrance, or it's just Lord Liu Kang.

The challenges she faced makes them so outworld might alter her path from freeing her clan, but what are challenges for. It's a test of might.

Even she didn't get Sento from the person she hated, at the moment, she has to be tested. Testing her patience. Testing the bonds with her teamates and her views beyond saving her clan.

As they face the mission that lingers with hardships, together they save earthrealm, saving the timeline, as they all witnessing the change of the arc of their lives.

But we know she got Sento at the end, and not just Sento, but someone. I didn't mean Jackson Briggs. You know who it is.

Involuntary Secretary and the Dream Escape Pairing: Eddie Munson x You Summary: People won't leave you alone, so Eddie rescues you. Contains: Actual footage of writer about to fucking snap, a heroic rescue by Eddie, references to sucking, some back door action. Word Count: 1k-ish

"JESUS H. CHRIST!" you screamed into your empty living room, as the phone rang for what felt like the 107th time that day.

The phone just wouldn't stop ringing. It was your mother's birthday, but being the clever creature she was, she'd booked a weekend getaway to the city. To get away from the phone calls, apparently.

Everyone she'd ever met had decided to call that day. The phone had been ringing nonstop since 7:02 am. You had to get up early on a Saturday, which goes against everything you believe in. You also hadn't been able to read more than two consecutive paragraphs in your new book without being interrupted. It was now 12:32 pm.

"She's not here," you'd explained to approximately 30 people, who'd either tell you to tell her they said "happy birthday", or give you a number for her to call back on, or the worst option of all: try to catch up with you instead.

So far, you'd had to get off the phone because you had something burning in the oven (you didn't), there was someone at the door (there wasn't), and the dog had gotten out (you don't have a dog).

You stomped over to the wall-mounted phone in the kitchen and picked it up aggressively. "HELLO."

"Jesus, is that how you greet everyone?"

You sigh, instantly relaxing. It was just Eddie.

"Sorry. It's Mom's birthday, she's gone, the phone's been ringing of the fucking hook since 7 am, I've been left to play secretary. If I have to tell one more distant relative what grade I'm in and what my favorite subject is, I'm going to lose it, Eddie, I swear to GOD, I will fucking LOSE IT."

Silence. Great, you've scared him off.

"Pack a bag, you're staying with me tonight. I'm on the way. Leave the phone off the hook."

You're so relieved, after being overwhelmed for so long, you burst into tears.

"Are you crying?"

"No," you cry.

He chuckles. "I'm on the way, sweetheart. 10 minutes. Don't hang up." You hear a click from his end. God, you love him.

Leaving the bane of your existence hanging from its cord, you go to your room and stuff random clothes into a messenger bag. You stop by the living room and throw in your book before returning to the kitchen. The receiver is still swinging on its stupid yellow cord. You give it a glare as you shove your feet into your favorite sneakers and throw on a hoodie. You didn't even bother to put a bra on. You wanted out, and you wanted out now.

Eight minutes later, you hear Eddie's van roaring up your driveway. A smile - the first of its kind today - spreads across your face, and you rush through the house to make sure you've turned off all the lights.

He's at the door before you are.

"Ready?" You raise your bag to show him. He grins and steps back so you can pass him, then darts into the kitchen and hangs up the phone. You wait on the porch and watch as he locks the door, then turns to you.

"You're free, princess." This may be the happiest moment of your life.

He takes your hand and you descend the stairs together, heading toward the getaway van.

You get four steps away from the porch before you hear the phone ring again.

"ARE YOU FUCKING KID--" His lips are on yours, swallowing your outburst. After you've forgotten what you were going to yell next, he pulls away.

"Not your problem. Let's roll."

God, you love him.

He opens the passenger door and helps you in with a hand on your ass. He's so considerate.

Hopping in and starting the engine, he asks, "Where do you want to go for lunch?"

You look down at your pajamas, which you hadn't even had a chance to change out of today, and then back to him with a grimace.

"Only drive-thru in town?"

"Only drive-thru in town."

So you go to the only drive-thru in town, where he orders the same things you always get, and a vanilla milkshake for the road.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see. Just sit back and relax. Trust me."

You did. You leaned back into the seat and focused on your milkshake, occasionally holding it out to him so he could lean over and suck at the straw while he drove. Definitely safer than just handing it to him, you thought with amusement each time.

You sucked down the last of your milkshake as the lake came into view. Eddie turned the van around so the back was facing the water. He grabbed the bag of food, you grabbed the sodas, and you met at the back door. Opening up and placing the food and drinks in the corner, he shakes out a blanket and covers the floor. He crawls in and pulls out the pillows he keeps in the van for occasions such as these, fluffing them before dropping them about where you'd need them.

He turns and takes your hand, helping you in. You didn't need the help, but he once said it made him feel chivalrous, so you allowed it. Settling in next to him and leaning back against the pillows, you stretched your legs out in front of you and watched the lake shimmer. Not a human or a phone in sight. It was perfect.

You close your eyes for a moment, savoring the silence.

When you finally open them, Eddie is watching you.

"Are you okay?"

"I am now."

He beams, reaching for the greasy bag of food.

"Wait, do you want to smoke a bowl before or after we eat?"

God, you love him.

For @zukkaweek Day 5: Touch/Touch-Starved, featuring that thin line between fighting and foreplay, absolutely healthy coping mechanisms, a whole lot of angst, and the wonders of self-denial.

[“It is a good thing to have, armor,” Uncle murmurs, shaking his head as he looks at the damage to the backplate that was probably from…the third time going through a wall, maybe, and Zuko knows he’s concussed when he nearly responds you have no idea out loud before managing to yank that thought back, too. Zuko knows all about plausible deniability, after all.] OR, Zuko keeps meeting the warrior again and again. Keeps crashing into the warrior. Literally, sometimes. And he knows he should be focusing on the Avatar, on regaining his honor, on what he's supposed to do. But from Kyoshi Island to the Earth Kingdom flats to Ba sing Se, somehow Sok—somehow the warrior is always there. Masked and hooded, fighting and grappling, straining for position, sometimes the only touch Zuko knows until he has it again. Which is the only reason Zuko can’t stop thinking about it, of course. The only reason he can't get it out of his head. The only reason he can't stop wondering how much further they can go and still call what they're doing fighting.

#Guys summaries are hard #Will truly accept any suggestions lol #zukka week 2023 #Zukka fic #my writing #fic writing #Zuko fic

I joined the Danny Phantom Invisobang this year. :D

It's a oneshot with cute little scenes showing an older Danny helping people around Amity Park, but there's also something going on in the background that comes out during the last half.

---

Cracks Spreading in Tinted Glass

Summary: Grateful townspeople and stuttering admirers are part of Danny’s everyday life now that he’s in his twenties. He loves helping his town. However, Amity Park harbors a secret. One their resident ghost hero doesn’t know about.

Danny straightened up, letting the trash bag he was holding slip down to rest in the grass. A calm breeze brushed across his back and ruffled his hair as he surveyed the sun-dappled sea of green before him. A serene feeling swelled within him at the view. The large area of grass stretched toward a two-story house, its beige siding lit up in the sun. He’d helped achieve this.

Read on AO3 to see images within the text: https://archiveofourown.org/works/49811131

Read on ff.net to read it without the images: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14278133/1/Cracks-Spreading-in-Tinted-Glass

@paenling and @tytach drew the awesome art for it. :D

To see the art without wading through words: Tytach's awesome post with pic plus goodies! and Paenling's awesome post with multiple pictures! They're both so cool!

---

In March, I saw a pic on dA that @weshney colored for the Green With Envy event (lineart by @marzfartz) and it instantly inspired a ficlet idea. I was at the midpoint of the ficlet when I saw an ad for Invisobang and impulsively joined. So I started the fic over to make it longer and add more stuff to it.

#danny phantom #asj writing #asj post #invisobang 2023 #alternate fic summary: Local trashman picks up trash.#so.. this is why I hadn't been writing stuff for the past several months. (wait what do you mean I didn't need to be completely invisible?)#There's a scene with him stargazing. And a scene with him joking with Valerie. And a scene with puppies. And a scene with DP action figures #Writing happy Slice of Life stuff is hard. T_T #Writing amnesia and angst stuff is easier.#I've been thinking about similar ideas lately but weshney's glass effect gave me the glass motif that's very important in this fic.

Happy 2024 guys!

Nothing too special on my end this year, my life is err... chaos & eh, just haven't really been feeling festive recently (lots of irl stress, so yeah, apologies for lack of Christmas and new year stuff, just... not feeling it this year, or I guess, last, lol).

I did want to do an art summary tho & felt like making one for my writing and ha, ha, yeah. That word count surprised me too ^^;

Approximately 64,896 words uploaded across 18 chapters on A03.

Also, 23 comic pages. That was this year, like I was staring at it like, no, no, that comic for 'Are We having Fun Yet' was 2022, but nope, it was May this year. Time's really gone quick :P

I am really plesently surprised with the sheer amount of progress I made on stuff this year, like I've done so much between art, writing and school. It's like I'm speed running to catch up on the 3 years I was stuck waiting for residency. OH! Exciting update on that, in July me & my family will officially be NZ perminate residences! NZ passports & citizenship here we come, lol.

Tomorrow is also my birthday, so, that's exciting too, or maybe terrifying? I don't wanna get older. One year close to taxes and paying bills > <

I don't have anything special planned, I actually think we're working _ _ ; so, maybe some art for fun or just more progress on Lost Children covers. Again, not feeling too festive, so I'm not sure if I'll make anything special for it. *shurgs* we'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow & if my wrist isn't busted, lol.

Oh! And, for fun, I also added the current, states for the three docs I'm typing Lost Children in and next year we can have fun comparing the difference.

Oki, think that's all. Nighty!

-tumbles down the stairs- Look't what I made, everybody!

I don't know the definition of restraint.

Five years since Bi-Han's betrayal and nothing has gotten easier. Earthrealm continues to need its defenders and everyone's starting to feel the strain. But Tomas is feeling another type of strain--he's been treated like a child more than the second in command of the Shirai Ryu as of late. When Liu Kang tasks Tomas and Hanzo to return to the Lin Kuei library, destroyed during the schism, they are ambushed by Bi-Han and Shang Tsung, who offer Tomas up to an Enenra with hopes to control it. Things, of course, do not go according to plan. Tomas is saved by Hanzo, but Tomas is once again thrown into a life altering experience he never had a say in. Now he and his friends must learn to live with this new version of their friend.

Notes:

-This is something I've been poking at and wanting to work on for a good bit of time. It's part of a bigger piece/series, but it's also meant to be enjoyed on its own. -Please feel free to correct me on any tagging--there is a sub-plot of a very unrequited/one-sided love on Hanzo's part, and I have come across mixed advice for how to tag that. -Feedback is always welcome--if you feel I need to improve somewhere for future chapters, or you enjoy something in particular, please feel free to let me know.

The intro to this is also taken from the song challenge piece I did a while back - "Ghost."

Turn Week 2023:

If I Could Change One Thing

Turn Week 2023 is already over! This week has flown by, and I hope everyone who participated had a wonderful time. I appreciate all the love on my first Dragoons post- and yes, I'm back with another one. This time, I am not sorry.

Tallmadge vs Tarleton

As I mentioned in my last post, after the Philadelphia Campaign ended, Major Benjamin Tallmadge and his 2nd Dragoons stayed up north, while other cavalry regiments went to fight in the Southern Campaign- where they arguably had most of their combat experience. Why did Tallmadge stay up north? Two reasons are that the dragoons were still needed for scouting and raiding the British forces in strongholds like New York- keeping the Hudson River in Patriot hands- and that by now, he was General Washington's spymaster for the Culper Ring in Long Island and New York City.

But that doesn't mean that Tallmadge didn't have his saber drawn in battles or skirmishes.

On July 2, 1779, Tallmadge and the 2nd Dragoons were camped in Pound Ridge, New York. They were suddenly ambushed by "two hundred British and loyalist cavalry." Although the 2nd Dragoons had strengthened forces thanks to Washington sending Moylan's 4th Dragoons, the British received a letter saying so. Leading the charge was Lieutenant-Colonel Banastre Tarleton, a British dragoon who would eventually become one of the most famous cavalrymen of the Revolution. Before 1779 and the Southern campaigns, one of his known escapades included being present at the capture of General Charles Lee.

Tallmadge and Tarleton's forces fought each other in front of the Presbyterian Meeting House during the Battle of Poundridge, going from on horseback to fighting on foot. When Tarleton's men and the 17th Dragoons entered the fray, it was clear that Tallmadge and Colonel Sheldon's 2nd Dragoons would not win the day. They retreated with the British pursuing them.

Along with his victory, Tarleton now had the 2nd Dragoon's regimental flag. But, especially unfortunate for Tallmadge, there were a "dozen causalities," and a dozen horses taken. One of these horses belonged to Tallmadge himself. Like any cavalryman, he kept his essentials in his saddlebags. Now they were in the enemy's hands. In those bags were, according to author Alexander Rose (doesn't that name sound familiar?) "twenty guineas" from Washington to Abe Woodhull as payment for his spying, and intelligence papers related to the ring.

How does this relate to Turn?

Season three of Turn takes place between 1778-1780. During this season, they did include the Battle of Stony Point- important in its own right- but why would they not include something that involves not only losing a battle, but information about the ring being stolen from Benjamin?

I think that instead of filling up screentime with the, frankly, at this point, ridiculous Robert Rogers and Abe doing what the hell they did plotline, they could've included the Battle of Poundridge. Could you imagine Benjamin's reaction to losing his horse and intelligence? And if they wanted to show Washington losing faith in the ring, wouldn't this be a good example? Instead, we had Robert Rogers and Abe running around in his little rat hole.

Also, if they wanted to use historical figures like Hamilton and Martha Washington to boost ratings and be like "please give us a fourth season," Banastre Tarleton is a pretty popular guy. Just saying.

And, lastly, you're probably like, "Amanda, are you saying that you, Benjamin Tallmadge's PR manager, want to see him get his ass beat?!" Yes. Yes, I do.
