Was finally able to come up with a story idea that might turn into a halfway decent novel — yes, I said novel. And I meant it. But I got burnt from detailing everything…….Its sort of like a modern day Southern gothic/country noir. If you don’t know what country noir is its the genre that The Devil All The Time by Donald Ray Polluck and, I guess, like Tennessee Williams’ work falls into.
Which just makes it ironic that his legal name was Tennessee.

Wild
Buchvorstellung
In der Wildnis Alaskas, die in ihrer weglosen Weite und dem frostigen Klima dem eiszeitliche Europa der ersten Menschen ähnelt, lebt die siebzehnjährige Tracy mit ihren Eltern und ihrem Bruder. In dem unberührten Land am Polarkreis gibt es nur wenige Siedlungen und ein spärliches Straßennetz, auf dem die Einwohner mit Allrad-Pickups verkehren. Nationalsport ist das…

"for we do not know what beasts the night dreams when its hours grow too long for even Gd to be awake"
Into the Night Country was the best show I've ever seen in the mystery genre.
On the show website you can also check out a list of Inupiaq and indigenous led organizations advocating to end the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and 2Spirit, for sovereign science, and for environmental justice
(Trigger warning for the show for the MMIW crisis, police brutality, and suicide)

the rwd season 4 qna inspired me to start thinking about college au headcanons except a lot of these are gonna be really specific to my school and y'all are just gonna have to deal with that <3
Kyana feeds some of the school cats. she would feed all of them if she could
Dani smuggled Plug (the scrawniest black cat you've ever seen) into her dorm room illegally and somehow management hasn't caught her yet (based on a true story) (Kyana visits to see Plug all the time)
Finbar keeps an updated tier list of every canteen in the school with breakdowns of the best stalls/dishes for each
A senior from the school of engineering once said to me 'all the engineering people dress like rats cuz our classrooms don't have aircon' (context: tropics) anyway that's Dani
Kyana would probably be involved in a lot of freshman orientation events from second year onwards. she just likes talking to the new kids and giving them advice like she would be the kind of orientation group leader who'd get messages from her freshies asking about all kinds of random nonsense because she's made sure they know they can always contact her with questions
VR-LA is The Guy you go to for textbook pirating resources
(this is more of a 'wouldn't that be funny' but VR-LA is just Veerle's discord handle)
Docent is the name of VR-LA's old laptop that broke down so he gave it to Cassimere (computer engineering major he met once at a networking event) to fix except Cassimere got everything off the hard drive and then somehow managed to fuck it up Even More so he had to get a new laptop (and named it Emi)
Roy has gotten food poisoning from his dorm meal plan at least once (based on at least one true story)
The heap trio + Mandy would be those friends constantly playing majong in the dorm lounge and if all the majong tables are taken they just play in one of their dorm rooms on a towel to dampen the tile shuffling noises (it was Mandy's idea)
Every morning Dani goes to the drinks stall at her faculty and orders one iced coffee to the point where the stall owner starts preparing an iced coffee whenever they see her approach (based on my true story)
Roy would be one of those people who goes clubbing every other week and every time he tries to drag the rest of the heap trio and Egan almost always goes and Dani would go if she didn't have a good excuse but always begrudgingly. anyway Roy would always be the only one having a good time until Egan gets drunk enough to start having fun
Finbar actually uses the dorm kitchens instead of just buying canteen food and it always makes the hallways smell really good
Vhas also uses the dorm kitchen sometimes but like. one time i walked into the pantry on my floor and someone had left cut sweet potatoes and 2 eggs in an inch of water in a pan on the stove. that's Vhas
Kyana's constantly applying for overseas exchanges and international summer/winter school programmes. the world is large and she wants to see it!
Maxim's the definition of a hall phantom. you know he lives on your dorm floor because you pass him by in the hallways sometimes and literally nowhere else. sometimes you're not convinced that he actually exists
VR-LA and Maxim's friendship stems from them being from wildly different faculties (VR-LA's in STEM, Maxim's doing anthropology so arts/social sciences) but also having lots of weird interests they cant really bug anyone in their home faculties about
Elyse is in student government and every once in a while Finbar receives a series of angry texts about the newest idiocy she's had to put up with
MR-SN and AS-TR start a stargazing club together. other notable members include AS-TR's girlfriend E-DN, MR-SN's friend C-RA (the one who always volunteers to carry the heavy ass telescopes) and MR-SN's friend K-LB who he pestered into coming to fix one of the wonky scopes even though K-LB's actually in electrical engineering but he's the only engineering person MR-SN (an arts student) knows
oh and of course VR-LA joins because he genuinely just likes space (developing a crush on his club chairperson was not on his bingo card)
Kyana and E-DN were MMA sparring buddies at one point which is how she found out about the stargazing and joined immediately
honestly i can probably think of more but this post is fuckin long LMAO

WIP WEDNESDAY
Hi my lovelies :) welcome to a story I started writing at 2am last night <3 obviously this is a very rough draft but I am excited for this universe to come to life <3
~~~~~~
“I’ll be moping whether I’m here or in France,” Anetra grumbled. “Might as well mope somewhere I don’t have to watch Denali and her new girlfriend be disgustingly affectionate while I pretend that I still believe that love is real.”
“You do believe love is real. You’re, like, disgustingly sappy and romantic literally all the time.”
Anetra sighed, running a hand over her face. “That was before. I’m swearing off love forever.”
“You told me yesterday you’re still in love with Denali. What's the truth?”
Anetra’s silence was an answer in and of itself. She picked at a loose thread on her shirt, procrastinating having to respond.
