Thoughts update
BOOKS: Ember Blade started great, I loved the parallels with the dictatorship regime, the divided society, the occupational forces and the choices of playing along and surviving vs rebelling and risking everything. Esp I loved the central duo of friends of course, but turns out one will die at the end and I hate it enough to refuse reading any further.
TV SERIES: The legal drama Suits is currently giving me everything I was looking for in all the bromancy fantasy books of the summer. Great great mentor/friendship, the protectiveness, Harvey is the coolest “I have no feelings but I'm fair ruthless ace” and Mike is the naive emotional genius getting invested into everybody. They make the best duo - Mike cares about people and finds unfairness and Harvey gets dragged along, cause he likes the kid and helps him win the case with his ruthless methods. Perfect. Also apparently pretending not to care, cause it's a weakness, behind a assured charming predatory smile, is still as addictive for me as it was 5 years ago.
AUS: have been doing Suits AUs for the last week, finally have lots new to think about! It kinda gets mixed with the Ukriane war, since I have been reading about it a lot as well, so Zephyr is either a soldier, or diplomat or lawyer trying to get more weapons and support from America, ach jaj.
SONGS: I'm missing new songs to listen to. Always get a crisis when I can't find new good songs to daydream to. Thank you for the playlist @sleepyowlwrites how did you know I would need it?
WRITING: I have realized I won't get the guilty pleasure scenes I want to read from anywhere else, but writing them (duh). I have collected some dialogue prompts for this purpose. But then @tryingtimi and @ren-c-leyn encourage me with writing the "official" hurt/comfort scenes for Tears of Iron, so I have some on mind as well:
A dive into Hal's POV and some emotional comfort from Zephyr (that poor Sasuke never got)
The elemental fusion exam where the main trio turns into an element, but turning back and being human turns quite difficult and painful afterwards.
Still have the Soft secrets scene for Skye to dive into her concerns and insight of Zephyr
And the new character intro with Wolf and finally seeing some of the blow up Zephyr is heading towards
I’m having a bit of a crisis of realizing for the first time this summer that I didn’t enjoy the fantasy elements as much as I usually do. They actually felt like a waste of time? Like there wasn’t much to take away from it. Really interested in wars, dictatorships and regimes right now, with the rising threat of everything. Maybe it’s time to get back to other genres again. I do want my happy endings and true friendships and loyalties though - not likely to find those there.

Aaron Bushnell זצ״ל and his spirit shall forever stand with the Palestinian people, and in the Glory of a Free Palestine. We will never forget Aaron ZTz”L, his solidarity, his words. The least that we can do is carry forth his words— “I will no longer be complicit in genocide”.

Unexpected Guests Chapter Ten, Act Two: Page 13
First / Previous / Next
Talk might be the only thing that can break Gaster out of his tunnel vision--it's enough to give him pause, at least...
Will our heroines' arguments be effective? Look for the next update coming Mar. 7th!

Panel 2: "?"
Panel 8: "WHY RECALL THIS? A DIVERSION? MY WORK... THE CORE..."

Phil posted an announcement in his Discord.
[Image ID:
A cropped screenshot of a Discord message by Ph1LzA. It reads “Hey guys @/everyone I’m sure many of you know Shelby (shubble) came forward about abuse she had suffered at the hands of Wilbur during their relationship. After watching her stream last week myself and Kristin immediately reached out in dm’s to show our support. As you can imagine I am deeply saddened by all this, I’m struggling even now to put this all into words, so I ask that you please support shelby and other victims and I will still do my best to make my streams a safe space for everyone. Believe victims. always.”
