Fics that Rewired my Brain a Little Bit

A rec list containing the fics that changed how I think about writing, changed how I think about the world, changed how I think about myself, or just changed something unknowably but profoundly. (I make no promises as to the quality or to the fandoms since I am a trash goblin, but these are the fics that changed me.) (also fair warning, I am also an angst gremlin and so the majority of these fics will be extremely sad)

Time v.3.0 by Teyke -- Doctor Who The only fic I've ever come across that manages to convey what a Time War must have really been like.

No Such Liberty by Xparrot -- MCU, focusing on the Thor movies The best depiction of Asgard that I've ever seen, one of the best Thor & Loki relationships that I've ever seen (such gorgeously complicated sibling interactions), and this is how the MCU really should have ended.

Missing an Angel by Fantismal -- Supernatural The main fic in this series is called A History of Heaven as Understood by the Archangel Gabriel, and that is exactly what it is -- a history of Heaven, set in Supernatural canon, detailing the initial glory days and eventual decline all the way up to the events of the show.

Four Deaths at a Funeral by shiphitsthefan-- Supernatural (mostly) In which four Deaths encounter each other at the end of Season 10, when Death (SPN edition) is killed.

The Winchester Casualties by shiphitsthefan -- Supernatural The ghosts of various people killed by (or killed as a direct result of) the Winchester brother's actions encounter each other and have a bit of a bitch session. It's great.

and yet so far from death by SummerFrost -- The Witcher (netflix version) The only ghostfic that matters. This fic is, ostensibly, a love story with a happy ending -- it hurts like nothing else I've ever read, and yet it's still such a sweet thing.

ask me tomorrow by Emamel -- The Witcher (netflix version) In which Geralt and Jaskier live in opposite directions to one another -- Geralt's future is Jaskier's past.

Silver and Copper by Heronfem -- The Witcher (netflix version) I don't know how to describe this one, besides saying that it's a dark and strange and strangely lovely mystery about unraveling a curse and unearthing old wrongs and old blood, and also MIND THE FUCKING TAGS. Seriously. Don't go into this fic without reading them, but if you're up for it I promise it's worth it. (Also it's written by a friend, so give it some love.)

After Tedd Deireádh by EskelChopChop -- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (games version) A story detailing Eskel and Yennefer after the bad ending of The Witcher 3 game. Another angsty offering here, but really just. so good.

nothing safe is worth the drive (follow you home) by SummerFrost -- Buffy the Vampire Slayer I've never even seen BVTS and this fic still changed my life -- apparently it's a fic where they actually go on the Glory-avoiding roadtrip? And it's wonderful and funny and sad and it hurts and it's full of life and it's... a roadtrip fic, and there's nothing else like it.

Send us a Blindfold, Send us a Blade by Trinary -- Transformers IDW1 The only fic I've ever seen with that deals with the end of MTMTE and the fact that there is an entirely new Cybertron just hanging out alongside the remnants of the old one, and also it's just... the nostalgia in this is like nothing I've ever seen. It really, really manages to capture the change in things over the course of the war, from the hopeful revolution of the beginning to the grinding slog of four million years later, and Starscream's place in all of it.

Mankind Should Have Been My Business by DesdemonaKaylose -- Transformers IDW1 The summary is "A list of mechanisms whom Megatron has loved", and that's really all it is, but also I cannot stop thinking about this sort-of-a-fic, sort-of-a-poem.

the only thing left out in the light by buttface -- Transformers IDW1 (specifically MTMTE/LL) You'll probably need to know MTMTE canon to understand this one, but it deals with the alternate Lost Light where Rodimus died fighting the sparkeater, and Drift's reaction to it. One of the best Drift character studies I've ever read.

the triumph of time by oriflamme -- Transformers IDW1 The end of the original run of IDW Transformers comics, redone feat. WAY more Titans, way more plot, way more mythology, the Quintessons, and poetry. One of those fics series where the only word to describe it is "epic", in every single sense of the word.

Victory Condition by astolat -- Transformers G1 Look. I've talked about this fic so much on this blog. I don't have anything new to say here except that of all the fics on this rec list, this is the one that rewrote my brain the most.

Thanks for the tag @tired-twili !!!

I Forgot The Title Of This Ask Game But Here We Go

What Book Are You Currently Reading?

Relationship OCD: A CBT Guide To Move Beyond Obsessive Doubt, Anxiety, And Fear Of Commitment In Romantic Relationships (to call myself out oof)

What’s your favorite movie you saw in theaters this year?

Hold on I forget what came out this year I need to Google.

Okay probably Sonic 2 because video game movies being a positive experience makes me hopeful and Dr. Strange writers literally dumping my girl Wanda in the trash physically hurts me.

What do you usually wear:

Either something really comfy with very little effort or something really fancy with a lot of effort there’s no in between

How tall are you?

5’4”

What is your star sign?

Aries!

Do you go by your name or a nick name?

I usually go by a nickname because my birth name is aggressively long. (Thanks parents)

Did you grow up to be what you wanted to be when you were a child?

It’s hard for me to imagine BEING something since I’m still in grad school but when I was little I did want to be an author!!

Are you in a relationship?

Yes! I’m in a long distance relationship with a Zelda speedrunner with the username K_Grovyle. We met at the Zelda Dungeon Marathon in July and have been getting to know each other since. He’s so cute and I love him lots ❤️ We also get to reunite in a few days!

What’s something you’re good at versus something you’re bad at?

I’m good at writing sometimes I guess? And I’m bad at calming my anxiety but I’m working on it

Cats or dogs?

Babyyyyy goop

What’s your favorite line from something you created this year?

For a fleeting moment, it was like they were back in Hyrule, no caves, no ruins, no blood on the walls, no fear in his heart. It was like the sun had shone and set, had risen golden and amber like a million worthless, precious days that had once marked their happy ending, their happy, joyous beginning of a future.

What’s something you’d like to create content for?

Star Wars! It’s just kind of intimidating…

What’s something you’re currently obsessed with?

I’m kind of in between obsessions? I just finished season 8 of Stargate SG-1 which is the last season that counts and soon I’ll be watching ATLA for the first time so maybe I’ll be obsessed with that?

What’s something you were excited about this year that turned out to be disappointing?

Ugh

Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness

If you want me to do a full rant send me an ask

What’s a hidden talent of yours?

Uhh how would I know if it’s hidden?

Are you religious?

Eh not really. I was raised Christian and hold to some Christian values like caring about other people but otherwise it’s a lot of blind faith and homophobia for some reason so nah

Anyone who wants to do this, go ahead!!

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Review

Okay, so this is going to be your spoiler warning because I'm really going to be talking about some major plot points of this movie and if you really want to see it, I don't want my opinion of the movie to affect that. So this is your warning now, keep scrolling and do not read what I'm going to write.

Okay, so, I saw Multiverse of Madness on Thursday and I just have to say that after the true digestion of the movie, I cannot like it. I literally cannot. The only good things that I can pull out is the soundtrack and the fact that they gave Wanda's powers a horror element. Those are literally the only things I liked about this movie. Oh and the fact that I got to see fucking Captain Cater get cut in half. But, let's start to break this down so it's easier to read and understand.

Plot

Okay, so the plot of this movie was there, and it wasn't. It felt that they were doing too much and it was very rushed. A good summery of the plot is that America Chavez is being chased by interdimensional demons that Wanda has sent after her in order to obtain the powers to hop the multiverse so she could be with her sons again. Chavez lands in what has been officially called universe 616 and they have to hide from Wanda. They hide in the kamar-taj and end up having to fight off Wanda. In that fight, Strange and Chavez travel through different universes, but really only get stuck in one, so out of the entire movie, we only see like 2 other universes. In this universe, they meet mordu, who doesn't want to kill Strange for the same reason in the first Doctor Strange, in fact it's because they think that he's going to cause an incursion, the destruction of 2 universes. So they capture him and this is where we meet nurse night. At the same time, we find out that Wanda is dreamwalking, meaning she's possessing different versions of herself across the multiverse to be with her sons, and then she finds where the illuminati is and then kills literally everyone. They end up trying to use the book of vishanti, that doesn't work. Strange and Christine get stuck in a universe that's in the middle of an incursion, and from there Strange uses the darkhold from the other Strange to dreamwalk with the Strange that was dead from the beginning of the movie, bringing us zombie Strange. From there we get a fight between Wanda and Strange and then Chavez gives Wanda what she wants after encouraging words from Strange that in fact she can control her power. Billy and Tommy are scared of their mom and Wanda realizes what she's done and she comes to the conclusion that she was in fact influenced by the darkhold and she leaves the universe and kills herself by destroying the tower where the original darkhold was written. The movie ends with Strange opening his third eye, and the post credits scene was him meeting Clea. The end credits scene was a toss away joke and it sucked.

So the plot was a fucking mess first off. They did absolutely nothing with the characters other than Wanda and even then Wanda's entire storyline in this movie was against the ending of WandaVision. At the end she gives up the family and the life that she had because she didn't want to be a monster and she uses the darkhold to basically learn about who she is because nothing else had information about her I guess, and from there she is corrupted and she realizes that she does want her kids, so she basically goes fucking nuts because she wants to be with her kids. Chavez barely served any purpose and there was like no growth for her character, along with Strange. The entire movie is centered around grief and loss. That's evident from the beginning, but the problem that this movie was having was that it was a horror movie, which left little to no room for really emotional scenes except at the end, which basically trashed the entire movie. The cameos were more than disappointing because these characters were brought in just to be killed. This was a classic horror movie with jumpscares and fucked up deaths, but other than that, this movie fucking suffered.

Characters

I mentioned earlier that the characters in this movie were wrong from the start, starting with the fact that Wanda's entire story conflicted with how WandaVision ended. I know that they did a whole thing where the darkhold was corrupting her and making her evil, and honestly making her stronger, but they missed out on the biggest part of her chracter. Her conflict with her powers. The fact that they basically made her crazy because she wanted to be with her kids was a struggle. I think they did an okay job talking about how the darkhold fucked her up, but meh.

I would love to talk about Strange, Wong, Chavez and the Christine that we meet. They get nothing in this movie. They are all side characters. And don't even get me started on the illuminati. Was it cool? Sure. Fucking hate Captain Carter and that they gave her Cap's line of "I can do this all day" It was very pleasing watching her get cut in half. Richard Reeds was cool, I'm happy that the whole fucking thing of Tom Cruise being Iron Man was fucking fake. He died in a cool way. Black Bolt whimpered and killed himself cause Wanda took his mouth, Like basically the only good things about this movie was the fact that it was a horror movie. It was the only thing going for it. Wanda was literally the only character that had something there and even then it feels very out of character for her.

Also, they teased that they were going to finish the plot from the first Doctor Strange with Mordu, and it didn't fucking happen, so that shit's still up in the air.

Soundtrack

It's Danny Elfman. I have nothing else to say. It's amazing, it's really fucking cool.

CGI

It was standard CGI for a marvel movie, there were parts where it was noticeable, other parts where it wasn't. The usual. Nothing good, nothing bad.

Powers

Through this movie, it's a show of powers and I fucking loved it. We get to see just how powerful Wanda is as the scarlet witch with what the darkhold has taught her, and it's amazing. Strange had some cool powers, especially when he harnessed the souls of the damned to use against Wanda as zombie strange. It was also really cool to see Chavez use her powers, though this entire movie played into the whole "oh no, I can't control my powers, guess I need some white male mentor to tell me how to control them" which was more than frustrating.

Overall

I would only watch this for the fact that it was a horror movie, that's it. It's the only way that I can enjoy this movie. I don't know how much they cut and I think what they did cut, the movie suffered a shit ton and it was bad. I would watch this for the horror element of it and the fact that Wanda's powers were on full display, which does make her a terrifying force of nature. Do I think Wanda actually died? Fuck no. There's no way. Who knows though? I wish it hadn't been called Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, cause Strange did next to nothing in this movie, all he did was be a somewhat pretentious asshole and be the while male mentor that Chavez needed to tell her how to control her powers. Chavez and Christine could have been replaced by houseplants and we barely would have noticed. Either way, it only has reachability for being a horror movie.

Rating

5/10

So, this is the result of yesterday's 'Wandacon' during announcements at SDCC. Scarlet Witch Trolls trashing upcoming Agatha Hardness, calling her Grandmother, and talking crap about Sam as Captain and GOTG. This is nothing short of harassment by social media, and Siskin is a sick dog, although I know it's more than him. Some bloggers wanting to stock it to Disney have also been helping in addition to some Twitch trolls. I don't know if Marvel Disney really gets how bad this is, how much poison it's spreading. This started during Wandavision and I saw several comments months ago about how people didn't want to watch the show or watched but don't speak highly of it because these trolls did the same thing they're doing to Doctor Strange 2 and ANY upcoming project they put Olsen in: they make it all about her past the point of nausea. Fans couldn't really get into other aspects of WV or the other characters online. Same now with DS2. All this thirst doesn't really translate in the real world, though. Benedict and the Doctor Strange character are still more popular and even more important, more likeable. There's already some fans talking about wanting to see him in Midnight Suns. One of the dick writers at The Direct actually tried to write a piece about how Strange really doesn't belong in a Midnight Suns film. I was happy to see a number of nerds shut him down.

I hope they're not dumb enough to make people wait too long for the next Strange movie, a BETTER one, to make up for forcing us to deal with Scarlet Witch spammed everywhere into every crevice and conversation. I didn't THINK Disney was into cheating it's fans out of a chance to see some real action from Doctor Strange but we'll see.

Of course, maybe Kevin Feige enjoys seeing Olsen's 'Fans' tell him to go and commit suicide.

In which Peter has a child while stuck in the mcu: *takes deep breath*

He’s definitely living with Wanda post WV, so she’s there.

I don’t know a lot about inhumans but I know a little. Maybe Crystal is on earth for some reason, or the royal family just invites Wanda to the moon after learning about Westview b/c they want the tea, I guess. But Crystal and Peter meet.

They don’t get married, they don’t even officially date, so when Crystal announces she’s pregnant literally everyone is blindsided.

Wanda’s reaction is the best. She doesn’t say anything, but it’s her facial expressions as this is all going down. Her facial expressions.

Peter panics. Obviously. He runs around frantically with no rhyme or reason. He trashed his room. He’s screaming at a pitch only Crystal’s giant dog can hear.

He confides in Wanda about his piles of daddy issues, compounded by the fact that he never told his father the truth.... And also the fact that he was a terrorist.

But now it’s like, what happens if he goes back to his universe. He doesn’t want to to be an absentee father.

So he makes a difficult decision to stay in the mcu for the child. He still wants to go back to the x men to make sure his friends and family know he’s okay, but he wants to stay with his kid.

In the wake of his decision, Peter is high on emotion and decides that he needs to go the extra mile for this fatherhood schtick.

So he and Crystal elope.

Literally. Everyone. Thinks. This. Is. Questionable.

They’re divorced before she gives birth.

Not even a bitter divorce, just a ‘Ok, marriage at this point was probably a mistake.....’ divorce.

He and Wanda binge watch kids movies that came out from after he was taken from the x men.

Labor time!

Peter’s definitely a ping-pong whatever. When Crystal cries, he cries. When she screams, he screams.

But then Luna is born and she’s the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen in his life, and he just can’t. He’s crying on his own behalf.

Crystal holds her first, and then Peter, and the first thing he says to her is with teary eyes, so loving, so tenderly, is ‘You are gonna piss so many people off,’ in the softest voice you can imagine.

When the rest of the family comes in to meet her, Peter turns on the Lion King music, which he saw in the binge, and holds her up.

Wanda gets to hold her next, and Peter’s all ‘Meet your Aunt Wanda, Luna!’ And it’s a moment, because yeah, Tommy and Billy called him uncle, and he’s made it clear he loves them as such, but that was when he was brainwashed, so this. This is such a moment for Wanda.

And Wanda misses her boys so much, but the amount of love she feels for this girl overwhelms her bad she really believes she’s not alone anymore.

Afterwards, the three of them (Peter, Wanda, and Luna) are all curled up on a hospital bed together. Like they would be if Peter was the one who gave birth, but instead they just stole a bed to cuddle on because they’re emotionally drained.

Crystal is giving them the side eye from the other bed like, *guys it’s my special day too.*

Peter looks down at his bundle of joy and decides to make a speech to her.

He takes a deep breath. ‘Luna Maximoff’ (‘We did not discuss last names, Peter!’) ‘Your father is.... the problem in every relationship he has ever had. Except for the ones with people who are bigots, those guys suck. And he’s gonna be problem in ours. But I promise you, even if I make a million mistakes, and I will, I will try my very best to make sure you are the one person in this family who’s life isn’t made up of one traumatic experience after the other. Because you are the love and light of my life.’

Awwww.

Oh and Wanda definitely has a himym moment where she looks back all the stupid stuff Peter has done and thinks, ‘That guys a dad now.’

Except her flashback was from that morning.

Of course, that doesn’t get rid of all his deep emotional baggage. And he’s so worried about messing Luna up that he’s a complete motherhen.

He rants to Wanda, ‘Let’s face it, you and I are both going to hell,’ Because even if he loves Wanda, he’s not gonna excuse what she did to Westview, and for himself he has self esteem issues. So Wanda is :000. But Peter just continues. ‘But I really don’t want that for her!’

Anyways, Wanda starts hearing her kids and that kicks off their next big adventure, with Peter reluctantly leaving Luna with her mom.

He writes her a final letter in case he dies so she knows he loves her very much. But don’t worry, Peter’s not gonna die, so this is just a character quirk for now. It’s always quirky until someone dies.

I know that the ‘X men see WandaVision broadcast’ thing should logically stop after episode seven, but for this we’re gonna say the broadcast showed the entire, actual show, with all the SWORD and Agatha stuff. And then it starts playing Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness! And there’s a flashback to Luna’s birth.

It’s been a few years, and the x men have already had a funeral for him, so seeing this is..... wow.

Raven’s long since spilled the beans to Erik about his son, and he’s not been taking it well.

So seeing that his son is not only alive and well, but that he also has a granddaughter, (and maybe even an au daughter) makes him cry in front of everyone.

Also, maybe the team was just a bit unappreciative of him, not enough for us to bash them, but enough to make them feel guilty. So seeing him thriving without them stirs up some emotions.

Also maybe he has an ex on the team, and it ended because Peter’s bad at handling things. For maximum feels.

They know from the broadcast that Peter plans to stay in the mcu with his daughter and that makes them all sad, but it’s a really good reason and they’re almost all sensible enough to accept this.... After a proper goodbye of course.

We’ll get back to Erik’s feelings in a sec.

They make a portal, and all go to the mcu to help out in the final fight. They reunite with Peter, who runs to get Luna, even though she’s not on earth, so that they can all meet her.

Erik holds Luna and goes ‘You will lead millions! Willingly or as slaves.’

It reminds him of holding Nina and he wishes he held Peter and it’s so special.

They say their goodbyes.

Meanwhile, Erik is conflicted, because his child (children) is staying in alternate universe and this is where his granddaughter is, so if he can’t convince them to come back to the x men verse then maybe the best thing he can do is move to the mcu.

But Charles a school to look after, so that leads a horrible question; Will Cherik have to break up again?

Doctor Strange just rolls his eyes and says fuck it, because reality is already messed up so why not? And he gives the Maximoffs a key to crossover whenever they want. And it only works for them.

So Luna has all the inhumans and all the x men loving her so much, with the best dad, aunt, and grandpas in both worlds.

And of course with the coolest cousins a girl could ask for!

My guilty pleasures are Doctor Strange movies (writing wise they’re trash but I love them) and AI Presidents videos (I’m morally opposed to the way AI art is being used and abused and I’m scared of the social implications of turning political figures, especially a criminal fascist like Trump, into marketable characters. but the videos are still funny and I love the creativity in the scripts)

Everything Spider-Man touches, comes to ruin

/!\ Spoilers for No Way Home

A purely self-indulgent fic, cause I can't stop thinking about this movie. (will be multi-chapter, I just need to write it all 😂)

/!\ There will be some violence, as a fellow crime-fighting, red-wearing, neighbourhood protector will be present (trying my best not to give away spoilers 😅)

Read it on AO3

Peter Parker walked out of Peter Pan Donut & Pastry Shop, his coffee in one hand, the letter he wrote in his back pocket. He took the subway back to his apartment, replaying in his head the conversation he had with MJ, from the moment he walked into the shop.

He was glad that Ned and MJ had each other, that they would be going to MIT together, even if it would be without him. He wondered what exactly they remembered after the spell - where did Peter Parker stop and Spider-Man began? Doctor Strange had cast a spell making everyone forget who Peter Parker was, but MJ and Ned had been involved in more than one of Spidey’s adventures. Would they forget it all too? Or would they just not know it was Peter under the mask.

He also noticed that MJ had kept the necklace, what memory did she attribute to it? All those questions were running in his mind as he sat on the subway, idly getting off in Queens, and walking to his old apartment, following his muscle memory.

He looked up at the apartment he once shared with his aunt, the very same window he would go in and out of, the building above which helicopters had hovered, the day his life went to shit.

With a sigh, he finished his coffee and threw it in the closest trash can, before walking to the small one bedroom apartment he was renting just a few blocks away. He kept his head low and his hands in his pockets, even though no one would recognise him.

His mind wandered once more to his friends, the only people he had left, even though he was a complete stranger to them. He thought back to the time he surprised Ned by crawling on the ceiling. Remembering how loyal his best friend had been, taking the role of ‘the guy in the chair’ very seriously.

He thought about their European trip, in Prague where MJ had uncovered his secret identity, and where she had helped him figure out Mysterio’s plan. Or London, where he fought Quentin Beck, but had to pay the price of it all.

He opened the front door and let himself in, taking off his jacket and throwing it on a coat hanger, before dropping on the bed, more confused than when he had left this morning.

Peter had thought that once he talked to MJ and Ned, everything would be back to normal. The three of them would stick by each other as they always did, he would tell them everything, and he would get his best friend and his girlfriend back. But reality was much different.

In reality, he couldn’t burst the bubble of safety Ned and MJ were in. He saw the plaster on MJ’s face, a strong reminder of when he had nearly lost her. Every time Peter closed his eyes, he could still see MJ falling, and if Peter 3 hadn’t been there… He didn’t want to think about what could’ve happened.

He told himself that he was doing them a favour, by keeping them out of his life. Everywhere Spider-Man goes, chaos and calamity ensue. The words said by Jameson rang clear as day in Peter’s ears. And the last thing he ever wanted was for MJ and Ned’s lives to be ruined. So he told himself that he would stay away, to protect them, no matter the cost.

—

By the time Christmas came around, Peter had already broken his promise more times than he dared to count. He swung by the Peter Pan shop when he knew MJ would finish, looking down at his two closest friends from his spot on the roof, hidden, but keeping an eye out. He always ducked down when he sensed one of them looking up, unsure of what they remembered from their relationship with the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

On Christmas eve, he walked into the shop, only the second time he faced MJ in person. The bell rang, but the shop was packed, people buying pastries for Christmas, so he didn’t get to see MJ until it was his turn.

“Hi, Peter Parker,” she greeted him, making Peter freeze as she remembered his name.

She looked at him expectantly, and he shook his head, remembering the queue of people behind him. “Uhm,” he started to say, his mind replaying the last time he had been on the other side of that counter.

“I’ll take a chocolate glazed donut and a coffee, please.” he eventually said, smiling at MJ, who smiled back tentatively.

She served him his coffee and his donut, wrapped in a paper towel and in a paper bag. He gave her a $10 bill and thanked her as she gave him change, which he instantly dropped in the tip jar.

He waved goodbye, using his sticky fingers to balance all he was carrying in one hand, and left the shop, amazed and frightened at the fact that she had remembered his name. Was she starting to remember? Or did he make such a strange first impression? Either way, he felt as if he was failing her, once again bringing chaos and calamity into her life.

He walked under the winter snow, eating his donut and drinking his coffee, until he wandered into Central Park, where he sat on a bench, missing the days where Peter Parker wasn’t alone.

All around him, kids were running around, parents were happily chatting, couples were taking a walk. Peter didn’t remember much of his time with his parents, but he did remember one Christmas where they had gone for a walk in Central Park, enjoying the fresh cold air before Christmas dinner.

But ever since his parents had died, since he had been living with his aunt May, Christmas wasn’t spent walking around Central Park anymore. No, May would wake up early in the morning and go to the shelter she was volunteering at, preparing a warm meal for those who wandered through the doors of the shelter.

All the volunteers would participate: some would cook, others would lay the table and set the decorations. People would wander in, whether they were homeless or just looking for some company during those times most people spent surrounded by family.

And right now, Peter was really starting to feel lonely. He got up from his bench and took the subway to Feast, smiling at the people he knew, even if he was just another stranger to them.

During the next two days, Peter spent every meal at the shelter, each time leaving teary eyed, happy to see May’s legacy continuing. He saw Happy a few times, the other man smiling politely at him. Happy, Peter learned as he talked to a few volunteers, had shown up more than twice a day, every day, since May had passed.

Peter swore that he would swing by more often, help others as much as he could, as much as May did.

On the day after Christmas, however, Peter didn’t show up for dinner. Instead, he was standing outside of a beige building, looking at a golden plate. Nelson & Murdock, attorneys at law.

In the midst of everything, fighting villains from across the multiverse, he hadn’t had an opportunity to check on the lawyer that had saved his case, and had caught a flying brick. Peter had sensed that the brick had been coming his way, thanks to his tingle, but he wondered how Murdock did it, humans weren’t supposed to have a sixth sense.

Just as he was about the ring on the buzzer, he heard a noise coming from the back alley. He ran towards it, discarding his clothes and webbing them to a wall, revealing his suit underneath. He saw two shadows fighting, one of them clearly having the advantage.

“Hey,” Peter shouted, interrupting the comotion. The one who was throwing all the punches turned to him, and seemed to recognise the colours of the suit, as he muttered a fair choice of insults under his breath.

Peter expected the man to stop, or at least to run away, not to run towards him, faster than humanly possible, and punch him, making him fly onto the street. He quickly swung back in the alley, not wanting to drag attention to a fight, but only found it to be empty.

The two men fighting had vanished, only leaving in their wake a pool of blood, no doubt from the one who had suffered most of the hits. Peter didn’t think that whoever it was would still be alive, it was an impressive quantity of blood left on the floor.

But the fight was still going on, as Peter heard, this time on the roof. He swung to it, only to find a similar scene as the one he had stumbled on earlier. Under the bright moon, he could see more clearly, the man taking all the punches was wearing a red suit, with horns on it, reminding Peter of the news he had heard a few years back, before he had been bitten by the spider.

The Devil’s of Hell’s Kitchen.

The white snow was tainted red, and all Peter could hear were the grunts coming from the Devil as he took hit after hit. But before Peter could web the bad guy, or at least stop the fight, the situation was reversed. The Devil grabbed the other man’s wrist, yanking on it while swinging his legs, so he was now on top. He punched the man a few times, before circling his arms around his neck, applying enough pressure, until he was left with a limp body.

He then stood up, before falling back to the ground with a whine, holding his ribs. “Spidey,” he said between gritted teeth, making Peter run towards him.

“Are you okay sir?” he said, instantly regretting it. Of course the other man wasn’t okay, why would he even need to ask.

“I’ve had worse,” came the answer, as he tried to sit up. He looked at Peter, before smiling. “Trust me, he deserved it.”

Peter shook his head, “No one deserved to die.”

The Devil chuckled, “Not dead. Heartbeat is slow, but he’ll live.” He crawled over to where the unconscious man laid, patted his pockets until he got his phone and his wallet out. “But I hope he learned his lesson.”

Peter didn’t get to ask what that meant, as his tingle warned him of another fight going on in the neighbourhood. A mugging, more precisely, as heard by the yells of an old woman. And judging by the way the Devil stumbled to his feet, limping towards the noise, he heard it too. Which was humanly impossible.

“I’ve got it, sir.” Peter said, making the Devil tilt his head to the side. “You seem to be in pretty bad shape, and this may not be my neighbourhood, stopping crime is still what I do.” He tried to lower his voice, to make himself sound more confident than he was, but he wasn’t sure he succeeded.

The Devil chuckled once more, “Yeah, sure thing, kid, I could use a rest.” He turned to face Peter. “Give me a shout if you need backup, I’ll come. And welcome to Hell’s Kitchen.”

On that note, Peter swung towards the mugging, all thoughts about the mysterious lawyer forgotten. He webbed the mugged to a wall and gave the old lady her purse back, before swinging to the nearest roof, with a mental note to come back to the alley to pick his clothes up.

Of course, by the time he got there, in the morning once his patrol was over, the web fluid had melted and someone had taken his clothes.

Saw Spiderman - no way home:: My review with some spoilers!! I will be tagging for them.::::

I liked it! Over all rating? Hmmm, maybe like 7.7 or 8 out of 10.

Most of the movie was great! All of the parts with the older guys were better than any of the parts with the newer guys. Like, sorry Doctor Strange but Doc Ock has like 5 million times more charisma than you and Green Goblin is infinitely more interesting. I could watch them for hours.

All else going under a read more for spoilers 😒

There was some SHITTY writing in the film, though. I will be the first to say. The death scene and all of the dialogue right before it felt ham fisted and shoved in because "we needed it" I physically rolled my eyes and I am not joking.

The beginning was painfully slow and not funny at all. I wanted it to be over after like 30 seconds. As soon as we got to the point where old characters started showing up, the movie picked up the pace.

I missed Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire so much. I loved seeing them in the movie. They're such different Spidermen, but they're both so great. I wanted to give them both a hug. The banter between them was nice and felt like how my brother and I talk to each other. Felt like siblings. Andrew is best boy. Deserves so much love.

We didn't appreciate Andrew when he was Spidey, but everyone loves him now. Maybe they'll finally give him his third movie to give people closure. (And also let him be bi)

The fucking... the "great responsibility" quote was done SO BADLY in this movie. Oh my god it was fucking terrible 😭. It was so obvious they shoved that in there just for the sake of having that quote. Jesus Fuck. You should have had Tobey be the one to say that to Tom, you fucking idiots. Even I am smart enough to know that would have been better. He would have been passing on the Spiser wisdom. Stupid.

Eddie and Venom were so underutilized, but at the same time thank FUCK they were villains in this. Tom Hardy's Eddie would not beat the shit out of a teenager. He just wouldn't.

Leaving the little bit of the symbiote behind? Garbage. Trash can writing. Stupid as shit and absolutely fucking horrible. - Tom Hardy backed them into a corner, though, and they had almost no other options to do the black suit Spiderman that wouldn't involve making an entire other movie. His Venom just would not abandon Eddie for some random kid. He just wouldn't. Tom fucked them by making Eddie and Venom happy and in love. ... still dogshit writing, though. I will complain about that. (I do appreciate that Venom's first thought when drunk is to get Eddie naked. Gay little slime. )

The only part of the movie that made me cry was Peter saying goodbye to Ned. That was it. Not the death, not him saying goodbye to MJ. No. Ned is what got me.

I'm now cursed with this image: Itty bitty cameraman falling ill with fever and feeling unwell all day after a freak accident at a film studio. He's so out of it that Miss Twisted and Brute get legitimately concerned and confine him to a bed all day before he hurts himself. Come nightfall he still doesn't feel well so the others go call a doctor and maybe find a safe way to bring down his fever. While they're out of the room Cameraman goes through a transformation scene straight out of an american werewolf in london, and turns into a mindless towering projector monster. He smashes through a window and escapes into the city to cause chaos, much to the shock and confusion of his two roomies who just thought he had the flu.

I read this thinking ‘damn I should write something about this’ and I couldn’t help myself:

At first, Cameraman’s behavior when he got back was nothing too out of the ordinary. It was normal for the film critic criminal to sulk over a failed plan (and maybe take a drink or two before returning).

Especially when said plan involved a film studio that had, in his words; “Not only made and reinforced terrible stereotypes but had also spat in the very eyes of the art of movie making and kicked it in the shins repeatedly by only hashing out the exact same sloppily made horror flick every year and slapping ‘remastered’ or some other trash like that on the title.”

At first, the other members of the Society for the Shellacking of Souper Boris were fine with letting him sulk in his workshop for most of the day while planning on doing something to cheer him up later, but usually, even when it gets bad, these sulk fests never included coughing fits.

“ARGH!” The camera-headed crook crumpled up the blueprints for his failed machine and threw them in the trash so hard that it knocked the can over, spilling the contents all over the floor of his workshop area. “S-stupid ‘Maze of the heart ripper’ series, stupid Olden Arch Studios, stupid- *HAAAAACKK!* *COUGH!* *CoUgH!* *cOUgh!* *COugH!* *COUGH!* *COUGH!*”

“Brute brought back fire fuel! Missy and I wanted to- CAMERAMAN?!”

The Brute walked into the scene of Cameraman coughing so hard that he was flopping around on the trashy floor as if he were a live fish on a hot pan. The large wolf imminently dropped the stack of the ‘maze of the heart ripper’ movie reels (that were stolen of course, the three wouldn’t dare give a single penny of support to THOSE types of movies.) and rushed over to help his friend up.

“...Cameraman okay?”

“Ự̺̺̞U̼̮͓̪u̺̪̰u̘͚̺̗̟̻̰u̦̪̪̘̰ͅuuU̷͍̠̲̰̰̪̩U̧̬͓͇Ù̼̺͈̠͇͓̩u҉͓̩̳u̻̩̰̟̮͉̲ų̹̖̫̜̜̤g̞͈̗̼̟̞͖͝g̤̯G̷̻͎̣̙g̝̘̗̫̺͘g̞͓̱̲̖̞ͅG̵̘̦̩͇̗̱G̛͓̠͔̱̳̯g͉͍͖̖̥ͅh͔̲̬̗͇̮̟̀ẖ̡͖̱h̼̬̖͕h͎H̭̬͍͓̭̣̳H̹͍̳͍͓H̟̪̪H͖̜̗̱́h̭h̹͔̤͓h̘͍̪̤.̣̹͖̖͍.͚��͈̗̞.̖̫̘͜”

The toon swayed and staggered as he clutched onto his wolf roommate’s paw.

“I-I͢'͞ve͡ *COugh!* ̸ńev҉e̵r fe̷lt ̕bette̡r͏!͟ In fact, I’m not going to let that sorry excuse for a horror move studio let it see another moment’s worth of peace! All I need is to make a few adjustments to the blueprints and- HE-H-HEY! Brute! put me down!”

The Brute shook his head as he carried Cameraman out of his workshop and up to his room.

“Cameraman sick and needs rest, not vengeance.”

“But I’m *HAACCKK!!* *COUGH!* fine!” Cameraman fruitlessly struggled against the wolf’s grip. “It’s just some dust! I probably got some caught when the studio partly collapsed.”

“Then why leaking black fluid out speaker? And why head feel like hot stove?”

“Okay, so maybe I am *COUGH!* a little bit overheated, but not by much! They’re already weakened, I did make *HAAACK* a dent in their precious studio but if I really want *REICH!* to do some damage, then I need to get back there and *COugh!* *COUgh!* *coUGH!*”

“Cameraman flopped on floor like dying trout, and is still flopping now. Me think it bad idea to let you wreak havoc right now. Go sleep.”

The demoness sprang down from the ceiling with a mildly annoyed but quizzical expression on her face.

“What’s with all the racket you two? I could hear you all the way from the roof!”

“Cameraman has flu and needs sleep.”

The giant wolf calmly remarked before readjusting his cargo while giving a suspicious look to the fresh stain on his fur, a stain that smelled kinda like some weird type of ink to him, or oil? He was not an expert on the strange smells that emanate from mysterious dark liquids that started oozing out of his friends.

“...And maybe doctor.”

“No *HAAAACK!* I don’t!”

“Aww... poor little Cammy...” Miss Twisted sympathetically patted the camera headed toon on the shoulder. “I know how much it sucks to get sick when you want to make the fools who wronged you suffer, but health must come first, or else evil can’t prosper!”

“I’m the *REICH!* very picture of health!”

...

Cameraman struggled against the straps used to keep him in bed as he looked for a way out of this trap that didn’t involve shooting his room apart.

“How ma-*COUGH*COUGH*-ny times do I have to keep saying it?!” he uselessly pleaded “I’m *COUGH!* perfectly fine!”

Miss Twisted did not look convinced as she continued to tighten his restraints.

“Cam, even if you weren’t burning, leaking, staggering, or coughing your head off, you jumped out of a third-story window and were planning to swim back to the studio. If you weren’t sick, you’d know that that is a terrible idea.”

“But I-”

“No buts! Now please just get some rest! The studio will still be there to be razed to the ground after you feel better.”

The demoness left the disgruntled camera’s room as she planned to call the doctor.

“It’s just a cough!” he called out after her. “You’d *HAAACK!* get one too you’d crawl through dusty air vests for an hour! I swear that place puts just as much effort into it’s cleaning as it does it’s scripts and research!”

She didn’t call back to him, possibly already on the phone talking to a doctor that didn’t need to be called in the first place.

“Can this day possibly get any worse?!” he grumbled to himself. “My beautiful machine that was meant to show them REAL horror instead got busted, that blasted studio’s still standing, my roommates have been freaking out all day over a cough-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! SWEET MOTHER OF ALL THINGS MERCIFUL!”

Where just mere seconds ago he felt a little woozy from coughing so much, the pain suddenly hit him like a jackhammer.

“AAAAAAARRRRRGHH!!!! *pant* I- *pant* I’M BURNING! I- I’M-”

The already tight restraints grew even tighter for him, making hard for the little fellow to breathe until-

*RRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!*

Cameraman felt like his body was on fire, he felt like his bones were all being broken at once but his agonizing pain was nothing compared to the sheer fear that he felt looking down at his restraints and his gloves and shoes ripping off due to the sheer massive size of his changing body.

“W-WHAT’S GOING ON?!”

Maybe he wouldn’t mind getting a growth spurt or two, but this was too much! The now werewolf-esc toon staggered off of his bed in fear it would break from his new size and assumed weight, clawing at the nearest wall to steady himself as he felt his spine popping like popcorn as he grew.

“HELP ME! SOMEBODY MAKE THIS STOP!”

Well, whatever force behind this was at least somewhat considerate, he stopped growing but he didn’t stop changing. He looked to his shaking hands that now more closely resembled hairless paws, complete with claws and ‘beans’. A million thoughts were rolling through Cameraman’s head, a million possible answers, and a million things that he should have done to prevent this, but the more he thought, the less any of those thoughts made sense.

“W̕H̀Ỳ ̧̧I̢S̵̢͟ ͝TH̴̀I̡S̸҉ H̡ĄP̀Ṕ̸͝È̢N͘I̛͟Ń͏͢G͠҉̶ ͘T͢O ̵̵͠M͏E̵?̷͡!̢͠”

It was getting harder and harder for him to think, his brain had might as well have been melting! He tried his hardest to think of a solution to his problem until he heard and felt something *SNAP* off of his head and he looked to the floor to see that both his flash and his film reel had been popped off of him. And with them, went all his worries. The creature didn’t need to think. At least, it didn’t need to think anywhere as much as it’s old form did, all that he needed was to kill and maim those who had wronged it. They didn’t need their hearts, so it might as well take it for them.

“W̴̡W̸R̢͟R̵͜R͠͝R͘R̸R̸R̴͡R̴͢ŔR̛R͏̧͏Ŕ̨̛R͏R͏̷͘R͏̴R̛R̢̧͝R̴̢R̶̢͟ŖR͘R͞R͠͠R͘͞͏R͏̧R̡̀RR̵̨R͜͡Y͟Ỳ̴͡Ỳ̕̕Ý͢͏Y̸̴Y̕͟!̸͘!̸̢!͜!̴̨͝“

10/18/2020: STREET TRASH

I just caught myself trying to avoid writing about this movie. I was looking right at my Blogtober setlist, and I still managed to convince myself that I was all caught up, and I had earned my right to move on to the comparative luxury and ease of CATHY'S CURSE. I was well into that project before I realized that I was just subconsciously trying to shirk my 10/18 responsibilities. So, now I'm on punishment, but luckily, just trying to deal with this film is enough punishment in and of itself, if you are not one of this movie’s many passionate fans. I always feel like I'm making a big confession, even to myself, when I admit that I just don't like STREET TRASH.

For some reason, my failure to get down with this movie always makes me feel like a prude and a poseur. It's such a Thing for so many people, and such a grandiose act of rebellion against decency that I feel like I should like it. And I mean, I'm no prude; I'm a fan of a lot of movies that are fairly described as a bunch of sleazy, nihilistic, rage-fueled nonsense. When I try to say what I don't like about STREET TRASH, I find myself delivering a list of problems that is almost identical to the list of reasons I do like a lot of other movies: it's ugly, mean, tacky, offensive, depressingly cheap, grim, anti-social bordering on evil, and on top of everything else, it doesn't really make any sense. It's a little hard for me to explain where and why I draw the line between STREET TRASH and beloved favorites like LAST HOUSE ON DEAD END STREET, ISLAND OF DEATH, BEYOND THE DARKNESS, or EBOLA SYNDROME (ok so EBOLA SYNDROME isn't actually one of my favorite movies, but I definitely admire its...er, guts). My aversion to Troma movies--another thing that makes me feel like a stranger in a strange land--might help inform some of what I don't like about STREET TRASH. There's a way in which a willfully offensive movie can seem to cross over from being contemptuous of society, to contemptuous of its own audience, and that's what bothers me: Troma's insistence on its own laziness and prurience, accusing the viewer of getting off on failure and inferiority, and garnishing its pridefully crappy production with shitty jokes about smearing queers and killing whores. But, while STREET TRASH has a similar brand of extremely shallow nihilism, much of it is meticulously put-together, which is usually a movie's saving grace--not that it's expensive and beautiful, but that it is made with evident passion. Which is exactly why this movie is such a confusing experience for me.

Maybe I can find some further clarity by attempting to describe what the plot consists of. A Brooklyn liquor store owner finds a case of ancient malt liquor called Tenafly Viper in his basement that, for some reason, causes anyone who drinks it to melt down into human sewage and/or explode. Just when it seems like the mysterious action and origin of Viper will be at the center of the plot--after all, it is STREET TRASH's main claim to fame--we drift into the dour drama between a pair of young homeless brothers, Freddie and Kevin, living in a shack in the back of a junkyard. These guys are relatively wholesome compared to the surrounding encampment, where the absolute dregs of humanity exist in a HILLS HAVE EYES-like fiefdom under a deranged Vietnam vet. Their collective troubles begin when Freddy brings home a blind-drunk mafia moll, who is subsequently raped to death by the other hobos. This brings the heat down on the whole camp, as a violent cop tries to find the connection between the derelicts, the mob, and the melting corpses sloshing around in the streets. The results are, needless to say, a mess.

STREET TRASH is relentlessly hostile to all forms of life, salting its own festering wounds with a dash of brutally unfunny comedy. Writer and producer Roy Frumkes has said of his script, "I wrote it to democratically offend every group on the planet, and as a result the youth market embraced it as a renegade work, and it played midnight shows." It’s hard for me to imagine what form of pleasure people derive from this film, but as Frumkes correctly notes, it does exist. The utterly debased narrative and its many scatological set pieces go so far above and beyond the call of flipping the bird to society, seething with bitterness and loathing in every frame, that one could wonder if the filmmakers weren't clinically depressed. The noxious brew of rape jokes, casual racism, miserable 'Nam flashbacks, and full-body incontinence foments such entirely bad vibes that you might feel like flushing yourself down the toilet by the end, just like the first victim does in the movie's admittedly spectacular opening salvo.

But th brings me to my point: STREET TRASH is not just a bad movie made poorly. The execution of its signature scene, an elaborate splatterpunk version of the once-popular Goodbye Cruel World novelty knickknacks, is a genuine labor of love, monstrously creative, and one of the most indelible images in horror. If that's my favorite thing in the movie (besides an all too short appearance of the wonderful James Lorinz), my least favorite thing might be its second-most notorious scene, in which the junkyard’s demented denizens play football with a guy's severed cock--but as I just read, even this sequence is rendered with some amount of thoughtfulness. Apparently three separate dildos were used to pull off the gag, including an extra large version that was required for the shots of the dick hurtling through the air in slow motion, warping and wobbling as it soars towards its next receiver. I am strangely beguiled by the idea of director Jim Muro experimenting with how to shoot this scrimmage for maximum effect, choosing dongs that were the right size and weight for the type of motion that he wanted to capture on camera. This shows a decided lack of the kind of laziness that I have come to expect from movies that are this grimy and dejected-feeling. A too-long genital mutilation joke is the last thing I want to give anyone credit for, but here, I feel kind of forced to.

A hot bondage scene with Doctor Jersey Boy!

Why did I put myself through this, you might ask, clearly knowing what I was in for? STREET TRASH is in a small group of movies that make me feel like I'm missing something. They're so well-loved, and they do so little for me--without my being able to completely denounce them as worthless--that I feel this nagging obligation to check in on them now and again. Maybe this is the year that my horizons have expanded to the right degree; maybe I've finally seen a vast enough number and variety of movies that my whole context for something like this will have changed. For the most part, it seems like the days of that kind of radical change are behind me, as a grownass woman with many thousands of hours of viewing under my belt. I still don't feel whatever specialized joy people seem to get from STREET TRASH, and I expect I never will. I really don’t know what else to say at this point, except that in my brief research for this piece, I discovered that the director went on to a substantial career as a cinematographer whose work includes CRASH. No, not the Cronenberg one. The incredibly sappy, pretentious, and witlessly tasteless social justice one from 2004. And there is something I find perversely satisfying about that fact. I guess Muro is really fucking things up from the inside now.

2020 Fic Year in Review

I was tagged by @aurorawest ! I’d been planning on doing something similar eventually and I like the directed questions here, so it worked out well.

Total number of completed stories: 27

Total word count: (I’m terrible about keeping track of word counts so this is total posted word count, thank you ao3 statistics) 189,970

Fandoms written in: MCU, the very tiny fandom of the Netflix series Into the Night, and I got one very, very short Les Misérables fic done

Looking back, did you write more fic than you thought you would this year, less, or about what you’d expected? I guess about what I expected? Maybe a bit more, actually, I only ended up being about 40k short of my word count from last year, I didn’t think I’d actually get anywhere close. So that’s good!

What’s your own favorite story of the year? For the tiny airplane fandom, I really liked ‘we are the sleepers, we bite our tongues’. And I’m just going to keep saying ‘where is your sting’ for the MCU lol.

Even though also, I mean, ‘alone amidst the ruins’ is definitely the one I’m most proud of. I worked so hard on it. I just don’t revisit it as much because I spent so much time working on it, whereas I do occasionally reread ‘where is your sting’. XD

Did you take any writing risks this year? Hm. Striking out in a new, very different fandom was a bit of a risk. One that resulted in multiple nights looking up things like ‘how to fly a plane’. :) And also it was really the first time I started writing for a fandom that I had 0 other input other than canon. Before I start writing for a new fandom, I’ve usually read a whole lot of fic and gotten a sense of the audience and what else is out there. But...there was nothing else out there when I started writing. This was all me and it was a little intimidating, especially with some of the technical stuff.

Do you have any fanfic or profic goals for the new year? Several! 2021 New Year’s Writing Resolutions:

- Not have such a damned complex about writing. Look. I had a whole time this year, I think we all did, and I just want myself to chill tf out about this one thing. Just chill out a little bit, self. Chill.

- Write about more space ghosts. And by that I mean more episodic space adventure plus magic and/or ghosts (bonus points for ghosts) style fics. Sort of along the lines of some of my older whumptober prompts (like ‘1. stabbed’ ‘5. poisoned’ and ‘7. kidnapped’ from ‘pain and other human sensations’ or ‘hurts like ghosts’). I didn’t really do any this year, had a lot more short, angsty fics. The closest I think I got was the whumptober prompt ‘enemy to caretaker’ or maybe ‘withdrawal’. But I have some ideas and even though those fics are a lot of work because of worldbuilding stuff, I want to do that work because they’re really my favorite type of fics.

- Make progress on series. I’d really like to get my next fic in ‘the nine in the tree’ finished before the next Doctor Strange movie is released, and make some progress on the third fic in ‘the dead reign there alone’ considering it’s been like...a long time and I think if I make any progress on it, I’ll feel better.

- Write more second drafts. Oof. Like, this is the most obvious advice that I should have absorbed a lot time ago, but like...writing a second draft makes the writing better. I get that now. I probably won’t do full second drafts for everything, but yeah. More focus on editing/rewriting in the new year.

Most popular story of the year? ‘like a tear on a cheek’ got the most kudos, by quite a bit. I’m happy for it, it was really sappy and indulgent, and kind of a mouthpiece for my own thoughts about forgiveness and redemption. I think that probably struck a chord XD

Story of mine most under-appreciated by the universe, in my opinion: I logically know why this is the case, but tbh my two more extreme AUs I think were slightly underappreciated, if I do say so myself. I did my first actual all-human AU with ‘panic room’ in January, and then my ‘medieval-ish’ fantasy AU ‘a keen scourge through the wintry air’. Like, I get why these didn’t get as much attention as others I wrote this year, I still think they’re a little underappreciated. XD

Most fun story to write: Obviously, I found ‘where is your sting’ to be the most fun. ghosts in space!. It was pure Sakaar Trash Party with ghosts and overwrought dialogue, I had a lot of fun.

Most unintentionally telling story: in a chapter of ‘alone amidst the ruins’, I included a line about the WHO advising on the wearing of masks.

a line that I swear to God, I wrote last year. got to it during the rewrite and had to go lie down for a bit.

Biggest disappointment: Even if I knew I probably wasn’t going to get all the way through the whumptober prompts this year (2018 was a - somewhat scary in hindsight - lightning strike of dedication and inspiration. I don’t know how I did Fall 2018 and I’m not sure it will ever happen again), but I would have liked to finish the ones I had started. Coming up on the end of the year and I’ve left one multichapter fic hanging, and still haven’t finished the ‘possession’ one which should be easy to finish.

This is also more a regret than a disappointment but I do sort of now regret my choice to publish all the whumptober prompts separately. Urgh, I think I would just be happier if they were organized into collections by fandom, they just bury everything else and some of them are so short and I really, really wish I had stuck with my method of organizing them in one document. Errrrr, regret. Like there are definitely benefits to doing it this way, but...still. Wish I had done it the other way.

Biggest surprise: Honestly, getting any comments and kudos from the tiny airplane fandom was an absolutely delightful surprise. Thank you, anyone who kudosed any of those works <3

- - -

So, 2020. What the fuck was that, am I right? It honestly feels like another world already. Like I’ll remember doing something and be like...hm not sure that actually happened to me, sort of feels like that happened to someone else and I just watched. I know I’m supposed to tag people, but also #SocialAnxiety (even in fandom). but please please please if you are a fic writer and want to take a moment to reflect on your writing experience this year, consider this an open tag!!!

#thank you for tagging me!
