I hope it gets backed!! I just saw it last night and backed it as soon as I got back to my dorm <3 I love horror and being brown I don’t get to see a lot of myself in horror so this means a lot to me!!!

I’m with you! Thank you Kell-Eramis! I had the honor of contributing to the first DitM. This second book is a jaw-dropping continuation. Everyone has worked so hard!

Only a bit of time left, on the Kickstarter, but I believe it can happen!

DITM is my fav even though it doesn’t have Catra POV. She’s so different in that fic. She’s so in control, confident, open…HEALTHY, almost? For lack of a better word. She like really has her shit figured out in that fic. She just seems so kind and put together by comparison. What is it like to write a fic not with her POV?

its very interesting to write catradora at different stages of healing/growth. like asdlm catra is FUCKED UP, and many of mine are in a halfway place where we're dealing with like, season five catra, but ditm was one where i was looking towards Post Series catra and approaching her from a place where she's more healed because she 1) had adora as a lover with her for years before their breakup and was confident that adora did care deeply for her, just wasn't sure about true love being mutual, 2) their breakup did not happen because of deep insecurity (like in beg for me) or some big slight (though self-doubt was still a factor), 3) she had friends who were with her all the way (scorpia, lonnie) as well as new ones who provided a support structure for her when she fell apart, and 4) she had been away from Shadow Weaver for several years and managed to actively contradict a lot of the insecurities she instilled.

the success of her career was a major factor in her healing, because shadow weaver always told her she and her dreams were nothing. shadow weaver was dead wrong about that and she could be wrong about catra being unlovable too. catra had ire from the public to deal with like any famous person does but she was used to that with how she grew up and she also had thousands of fans that really helped with her self-doubt. she was making money, she was getting roles, and she was winning award (minor awards, until the oscars, but still awards). her life was coming together even when adora wasn't in it.

the final factor is the album heartstrings itself. Adora hardly needed to come apologize to catra because the album already told catra how she really felt. adora was willing to tell the entire world how much she loved catra, wanted her, and missed her. catra knew adora was going through everything she was too and had a couple months before they reconciled to process that. she also had things like counseling on navigating the public that helped her process and compartmentalize her feelings from a private perspective, which is a big factor in her composure, as well as her acting passion in general.

basically there are a lot of factors why catra is more healed in that fic and i did not mean to go off on them so much before answering your question lol XD

as far as writing from one perspective, it is something i do on occasion. not to bring it up again, but asdlm is one where i wrote from just catra's perspective, though due to it being longer and adora being literally unable to speak sometimes i did need a couple short interludes XD

every perspective holds its own challenges. if im changing pov by chapter, what happens when i need to switch perspective in the middle of an arcing narrative that should be self contained? do i break to a new chapter for a short scene with that POV and then jump back? that just feels unnecessary and disruptive, hence why this is probably my least-used perspective (i think just lotd, OESAB, and then a few short OotW fics). it's a freeing perspective to write in some ways (i can break a scene whenever i want and it doesn't matter) but comes with major drawbacks. if im constantly switching POV back and forth by scene, then sometimes there are two scenes that need to be from the same perspective and i have to figure out how to either make them one scene (see: the first scene of the final chapter of sw&d) or how to insert a scene that transitions between them without slowing down the narrative, feeling unnecessary, or just being annoying to write (see: nearly every fic that uses this pov style). if im alternating pov randomly... well, i rarely do this because it can get confusing. you have to be very careful establishing who is speaking every time you start a scene and keep the shifts from being jarring. however, this does give you the most narrative freedom, i just also think it takes the most skill to do cohesively. i've also never known of a published book to do this. not that i know a published book which alternates pov every scene, but i'm certain they're out there. alternating randomly i would assume to be rarer. i remember how well rick riordan utilized a form of this in one of his books where he switched pov based on chapter, always, until the one time he didnt and a new, third character perspective popped out of nowhere for a scene that really made the moment stand out (do i remember the moment? no it was like ten years ago, but ive been thinking about how strong that writing choice was ever since).

as for why i chose to do only adora's perspective for that one... honestly i'm hazy, but im pretty sure it was because all the scenes i came up with before writing were from adora's perspective. i do vaguely remember having that thought, because i had things like the reunion scene (adora dropping her coffee, introducing catra to her coworkers, and then taking catra somewhere private to the side to talk, all separate scenes) which were in adora's perspective when i imagined them and going to stay that way.

scenes happen one of two ways: im in the middle of writing, need the next scene, and so i just... write one, meaning i know what the previous pov was and thus what the new scene's pov should be, informing what i picture/write, OR the scene comes to me as im going about my day-to-day. in the case of the latter, it may be equally balanced in my head as im thinking it through and i only pick a pov for it later, or it has a distinct viewpoint im picturing it from. i may change this when i go to write it (because it works better from the other one, or because there's no reason for it to be that pov over the other and the "wrong" pov is up next in the fic), but in general those povs hold true, so having only adora povs in my head at the time made me just stick with it for the fic.

ditm was also only the second long fic i ever did. i was writing a lot of oneshots at the time, which i tend to do from only one pov (or, more rarely, alternate by chapter. alternating by chapter in ditm wouldn't have worked though because the reunion was split over two chapters). i was in one shot mode at the time, and unused to the long format, so writing from just one POV was more "normal"/natural at the time. I don't think i put a lot of thought into it honestly, though i did think about it some.

When that hot summer sun makеs its way on down, the fireflies and thе stars get to coming out. We circle up at the hottest night club in town. Yeah, off that county road, where the wild things grow and all the girls getting bare feet dusty. All the boys passing something from Kentucky. And girl, I'm just feeling pretty dang lucky just watching you sway, yeah, I love the way you're dancing in the moonlight. Everybody knows where to go on a Friday night. Where you can't see the city lights. Everybody's dancing in the moonlight. Nowhere to go, nowhere to go. Nowhere to be, nowhere to be. And it's heaven with your hands on me. So, let's keep dancing in the moonlight. Boy, you know it feels so right. Dancing in the moonlight, ooh, yeah. Everybody knows where to go on a Friday night. Where you can't see the city lights, hey, yeah. Everybody's dancing in the moonlight. Nowhere to go, nowhere to go. Nowhere to be, nowhere to be. And it's heaven with your hands on me, with your hands on me. So, let's keep dancing in the moonlight. Girl, you know it feels so right. Ooh, you know it feels so right. So let's keep dancing in the moonlight. Girl, you know it feels so right, hey, hey, yeah.

It’s so funny because Mr Peterson was actually so willing to go along with people’s antics PROVIDED (❗️❗️❗️) that they take proper precautions. Kids want to do Song For Christmas? If the Headmistress said so, it’d fine by him! After the bus? Kidnapping aside, he’s mad that Mr Poppy didn’t have the foresight to fuel up and threw his phone away so he couldn’t contact his pregnant wife. Kids want to canoe down the river? Not only is he reasonably afraid of water, but he would rather the baby (WHICH NO ONE KNEW WHOSE IT WAS BECAUSE A CHILD TOOK IT) has a helmet. There’s a big mountain between the, and the competition? Well, the least they should do is walk around it. They end up going over it and the kids convince him to let them and a donkey scale down, which ACTIVELY ENDANGERS ONE OF THEM (and I’m convinced a part of Mr Peterson agreed just for a chance to abandon Mr Poppy).

It’s actually risible that the film tries to compare him wanting everyone to have a safe, prepared and fun trip is comparable to the literal abuse his father acted upon him.

i’ve just finished my “side project” so i guess i can say now that it was a VERY minor edit of toht!

I basically just fixed typos, the gratuitous lack of contractions, and a few sentences that even i couldnt make sense of. i rewrote a very small number of sentences for clarity and fixed some odd uses of commas and emdashes.

i don’t think anyone but me (or someone who used to be bothered by the lack of contractions) would notice the difference, but i basically did it because i was rereading it for Sentimental Reasons and those things specifically were bothering me.

i don’t plan to do a larger edit (like, ever) because even though there are tons of stylistic choices i wouldn’t make now, toht in all its heavily stylized glory is a fic that is so important for me both for the experience of writing it and all that it led to in my life afterwards and i don’t want to change or remake it. i just made some tweaks to improve the readability of the fic, basically.

it took me what felt like a long time for how little i changed (ive been doing it off and on throughout the week) but im really happy with having made that adjustment. anyway, i hope yall enjoy (re)reading it a little more now too!

#toht #ficmeta #fic rambling #mylife #i met two of my best friends because of that fic tbh #got my first ever piece of fanart for it #had a really great experience interacting with readers in a major way for the first time during it #toht was just. a lot. a really happy memory. so no im not really going to change it #this is much more minor than even the ditm edit #just some light jejuing #(however you spell that) #also i barely changed the prologue even tho it could probably used the most editing #because when i was at that point i was like ‘im just rereading!’ #and then i realized i couldnt just reread LMAO

Black cherry White Claw. Sipping on a tailgate. We got the cooler loaded down and a bonfire flame. Got some Pioneers bumping while the DJ plays a bunch of country solid gold. Yeah, we're letting go and dancing in the moonlight. Everybody knows where to go on a Friday night. Where you can't see the city lights. Everybody's dancing in the moonlight. Nowhere to go. Nowhere to go. Nowhere to be. Nowhere to be. And it's heaven with your hands on me. So, let's keep dancing in the moonlight. Girl, you know it feels so right.

Hôm qua mưa được trận mát cả giời, nhưng mệt cả lòng.

Hôm qua mất ngủ, lâu lắm rồi mình mới mất ngủ luôn ấy. Vì bụng đói :)) dạo này nhịn ăn nhiều mình bắt đầu thấy tác hại rồi, ăn được chút thì buồn nôn k nhét đc, 1 lúc sau lại cồn cào âm ỉ. Bụng dạ bắt đầu biểu tình sau những tháng ngày bị một con người bất cần đời là mình đây buông thả. Sau này chắc làm được bao nhiêu đem đi chữa bệnh hết. Cái tội của người trẻ ấy là khi còn sức khỏe nhưng lại sử dụng nó vô tội vạ.

Nằm lăn trái lộn phải mãi, chẳng nhớ là nghĩ những gì nữa. À, có nghĩ về nyc. Nằm nghĩ xem nếu gặp lại thì nói gì, chuẩn bị sẵn cả kịch bản luôn rồi. Ôi đêm qua tự nằm tự tưởng tượng chửi nyc ấy thế mà bon ra phết, cảm giác như đang được gặp trực tiếp mà bày ra hết cho thỏa uất ức bấy lâu ấy. Xong cảm xúc lên cao quá, lại nằm khóc :)) hóa ra mình từng chịu tủi thân như thế. Khi tỉnh cái sự tình, thì như được rửa mắt ấy. Yêu với chả đương, đến là ngu xuẩn :))

Sáng nay bị sếp nt mắng vốn, vì cái tội hôm t7 làm sai giá, sếp bảo t2 gửi file lại cho sếp, thì nay lại nghỉ, sếp hỏi ấy là ý gì.

Em cũng không biết ạ. Em đã định sáng nay đến giải quyết cho xong. Rồi em lười, em mệt. Cả tuần vừa rồi bao nhiêu thứ ngớ ngẩn cứ đổ dồn đến khiến dây thần kinh em cứ căng như sắp đứt. Mấy hôm vừa rồi đi làm khóc hơi bị nhiều, à chỉ dám rơm rớm chứ để ai thấy thì quê lắm. Mà chắc các chị trong phòng cũng thấy nhưng cố tỏ ra không biết.

Dạo này mình thấy mình bất lực, thật sự. Mình thấy mình vô dụng, không có năng lực, chả tỉnh táo làm tốt 1 cái gì. Sai be sai bét lỗi này đến lỗi khác. Đến hôm mà mình thấy giải quyết tạm ổn để mình xin nghỉ 1 ngày thứ 2 reset lại bản thân, thì mình lại sai tiếp :))

Ngu ngốc quá thể.

Mình thấy mình ngu và vô dụng lắm ấy.

Dạo này lại nghĩ về việc hay nhảy việc mẹ đi, xem số má có khá khẩm lên không, chứ từ khi làm đây, người cứ lẩn thẩn thế nào, haha.

Chưa dám trả lời sếp luôn, muốn tâm sự kín với sếp là ditme sếp ơi, em muốn từ bỏ lắm rồi, cái công việc vô tri này, em không biết mình đang tiếp tục vì cái gì nữa. Em thấy mình ngu xuẩn hết mức. Nhưng mà lại hèn, lại sợ, bây giờ mà nghỉ, thì tiền đâu mà sống.

Nãy vừa thử tìm qua vài job, chợt nhận ra mìnhh chả có cái tích sự gì cả. Đ có kinh nghiệm năng lực làm được gì luôn. Tủi khổ quá đi mất. Bức bối chết mất.
