#a nice round ending

[xx-vergil-xx]

first lines/last fics x 10

the most wonderful @pellaaearien tagged me <3 

Share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written less than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway. 

im gonna cheat a little –– at the moment I only have four published fics/ WIPs (at least, four that survived the Great Purge when my hs deleted my school-affiliated google drive acct >:( ), so I'm gonna quietly count hounds’ latest chapter as a new thing (it may as well be with how goddamn long it’s taking me) and throw in a few starter lines from non-fandom poems/prose I’ve worked up lately :)

hounds ch. I –– There are parts of his life Hob Gadling sometimes wishes to forget.

hounds ch. XLII –– It feels too lonely, he decides, to be itinerant for the holidays –– and there is a new bounty of flora blooming between his ribs, a richness of petal-soft, fine-veined feeling, that makes him less jittery, less inclined to running.

sanctus dentes/canem dei –– “You don’t love me.”

l’enfer, le ciel –– April in Paris, 1934.

tidings of comfort and joy –– “Perfect weather for a ride,” says Squire Teleute de Morte Endelēas.

and here’s the non-fandom stuff <3

our lady of august –– August of ‘92 is like living in the mouth of a dog.

the saint of the mouth and the 32 teeth –– And on the 1st day, my Lord-God furnished his mouth-saint / with the fruit-cutters, the castanets and rabbit-chatterers, / and he speaketh thus ––

hagiography of st. mawr –– Arise, you cant’ring colt –– you foam-mouthed maw, / bedecked in jockey’s blood.

james dean –– You Speedster slugger, ye of turned-up collar, eyes / retaining stares all soft and swoony –– pass the crown / –– or sanguine jacket –– like a sainted relic down / for us, not quite so suave (misangled grins) our guise / a touch disjoint.

shame and country hunting –– Oh my chosen pillar, I loved and love you like a dog, / all fine incisors. 

tagging the homies, the loves, the lights of souls!!  as ever, not a jot of obligation –– we are neighbors in an indie coming-of-age film where our bedroom windows face each other and this is a wave from my window to yours @fishfingersandscarves, @dancinbutterfly, @wordsinhaled, @menthol-drops, @wizardofgoodfortune, @ghostboyjules, @moorishflower, @aberfaeth, @teejaystumbles, @mandolinearts <3 <3 <3

#doxxing myself for anyone in my workshop classes lmao <3 #the sandman fic #the sandman #vergil says hello #I love me a good tag game!! #thanks for the tag my friend :) #I miss writing hounds I've been in The Nine Circles of Busy lately #incredibly productive in turning-in-for-class fiction #not so much sandman-fiction #but it is in my heart and on my mind and I swear to god I want to finish hounds before I graduate college #it's gonna happen #a nice round ending #<3 <3 <3 #also what a theme I've got #can you tell I am Fixated On Sainthood #And Teeth #it's almost comical at this point #writing

JULY 1st

July first, Dr. Seward has recorded 1 minute and 35 seconds of sound, for a total of 5 minutes and 43 seconds. 

This lifts his spending to around $57.16, adjusted for inflation   

Or $2.43 cents in his own time period. Equivalent to the average Daily wage of a Blacksmith in America at the time.

#sorry this was a day late #forgot and than had to do math cause Jack doesn't ever end in a nice round number #the spending habits of Dr. Seward #dracula daily #dr. sewards spending habits #jack seward #dr seward #re:dracula

[sleepdeprivedmultiplayer]

just to get this out there and out of my brain. when Tommyinnit did his love or host stream I auditioned to be one of the girls bc I was bored and thought it would be fun. I made it to the next stage where they had only chosen 100 girls to see who they wanted. I do the audition and austinshow is there and he did his trump impression and it was kind of awkward. It was pretty good but it came out of nowhere

#tommyinnit #austinshow #it was a cool experience #the other girls were really nice and we all just ended up flirting with each other #i didn’t watch the actual show bc I don’t watch Tommys stuff #I tried out for shits and gigs and didn’t expect to make it to the next round of auditions

[radioscientist]

I found Julian trying to help Lucy during the pineapple live task so sweet- genuinely warmed my heart

#not anime #radiowaves #taskmaster #taskmaster series 16 #tm #taskmaster season 16 #*it was really lovely!* #*even the gentle little reminder for her to hide her hands behind her back in the last round* #*I don’t know it made me smile!* #*they all seemed so genuinely pleased for Lucy as well at the end bless them* #*I wasn’t sure about Julian but after listening to his TM podcast episode and seeing more of him* #*he actually comes across as really nice* #*liked him a lot this episode* #*and Susan!*

[welcometoteyvat]

arlecchino's official title is "father" when house of hearth members refer to her ......... please just one chance please please

#GOD. me when slightly more masc women #idk i really hope they keep that just bc it would be so nice to have some more canonical gender fuckery as little as it is #i hope they write her well because MAN she's been so interesting so far #. kind to kids; who also end up becoming essentially child soldiers; 'has her own agenda' according to childe.. #thinking back to my own post abt her and house of hearth: seems like she really does care abt the kids in her org (or acts like it well eno #enough . but ahskdjksfjl she could ofc be another person who knows how bargaining and equivalent exchange works. like. save your life for #a debt. win loyalty via small favors that are actually nice things and things she doesn't mind doing etc #think how bai.zhu operates but a lot more ethically questionable #please please let her be a well rounded evil. her design is already so cool (minus the long rat tail ponytail thing :\) #chewing on her and her motivations and backstory for enrichment #genshin spoilers #4.0 spoilers #fontaine spoilers #arlecchino #i hope! they make her self aware enough to know she's doing evil. or not evil but not morally great things . and i sure hope they don't #write it off as 'this for that. food/shelter for doing 'jobs' for me' when the job is literally . murder and spying and all sorts of other #stuff. or ig she can justify it like that but IDK all im asking is that she doesn't get the shogun treatment #teyvat thoughts #ramblings!

[dlnqnt]

fuck it friday!

tagged by @alyxmastershipper <333 i hate you for all the wound cleaning extracts, i feel like an exposed nerve

okay not actively writing any buddie right now, doing my goddamn best to write my original stuff (😭😭😭😭😭) but you can have some of my favourite ideas from my buddie au letterboxd list. most of these aren't really aus so much as loosely based on's but hey.

tagging my usual babes @diazass @try-set-me-on-fire @shitouttabuck and @butchdiaz (bc i'm greedy and i want more fleabag au and dog buck fic but no pressure obviously <3)

#sami rambles #i'm gonna be honest. few of these i'm ever going to get round to writing but i love daydreaming about them #39 steps would just be a short fic where they accidentally end up handcuffed together somehow #(the idea didn't start out kinky but i fear it would stray there) #all the others feel like monster fics #but i want to write the nice guys one sooooo bad #and wbaz for buddie has me soooooooooooo sappy. idk. #the palm springs one would be Angsty idk if i can put myself through that again #tag game #fuck it friday #mutuals<33

[the-sea-anemone]

made a scarf

#knitting #not the most complicated thing i've ever made but i think it turned out nice #also i knit it along the long end on my round needles to avoid floats from the stripes and didn't swatch it first #so i'm mostly just happy it didn't end up being way too long or too short. a true victory for my questionable math skills

[wellitsjustmeagain]

Went to the Wilds of Eldraine Prerelease with friends tonight and had a freaking blast 💕

#selfie #selfies #I straight up only won 2 games and I had a great time. Everyone was really nice again 💕 #Building a deck is still overwhelming but it was easier than the first time!! (what I made first was hot garbage tho) #My friend helped me fix it by removing and replacing an entire color like 5 minutes before the next round 😂😂😂😂 #Once again ended up with some insane pulls that feel undeserving to end up with me because I don't know shit about fuck 😂 #Still really nervous and making dumb mistakes when I'm over thinking myself but I had WAY more fun this time around #AND I GOT TO USE MY CUSTOM CARD SLEEVES #The cute smothering tithe 🥺🥺 #Yeah this ruled! I'm so glad I did the scary thing #pink hair

The hipsters are truly descending on Leith. I thought this flavour of waxed moustache striped shirt pocket watch and sunglasses Coolest Kids At The Warehouse Rave Mr B fucker died out in like 2012 but no they're everywhere. moustaches waxed up to the heavens tweed in 26° spring weather.

my going theory now is that this style of hipster is just an inevitable symptom of gentrification at any point in history. assume when Londinium was first becoming a metropolis it was beset by moustachioed men in pinstripe toga with pocket sundials. twats.

#red said #it's possible that my kneejerk reaction to hipsters is itself a 2012 hangover #BUT. COUNTERPOINT. I feel exactly as strongly about the previous rounds of Gentrification Symptoms #which is to say: a proliferation of grey-decor coffee shops with industrial lighting fittings selling £4 coffees (~6 years ago) #an onrush of pricy vintage shops and independent art galleries (~4 years ago) #a rise of plant shops and plant themed cafes all decorated with endless monstera (~2 years ago) #and the current realisation that i can't fucking get a fryup in more than 3 places on this street bc everywhere is a goddamn brunch spot #selling £8.50 eggs on toast #meanwhile most of the independent grocers are shutting there's no more greasy spoons #oh and rent in the area has Literally Doubled at the lowest end. a 2 bed used to be in the 450-600 pcm range #now almost everything even the kind of dive i was in for £550 is £1k+ a month #instead of building more affordable housing they're building more student housing #and the vibe has changed. like ppl used to be extremely drunk and high but also very nice and i never felt unsafe here #that's still true but it's getting less true

[terry-pratchett-book-bracket]

Hi all! So as my bio says, I'm running two other tournaments currently (@galavant-song-tournament and @indie-queer-movie-tournament) and the latter will take me until May to finish with but then I should have time for this. I'll make a proper intro post then as well and set up a bracket and whatnot. Basic info for anyone interested: I'll be including every published book written (or co-written) by Terry Pratchett, no matter if it's a novel, non-fiction, short story, or what. So submissions aren't necessary. I won't do plays or other media not published originally as a book. I'll accept propaganda at any time; I'll just file it away for now to use later so it's no trouble that we won't start for ages. (Also if someone's already done this bracket let me know; a quick search and I didn't find anything but idk, I only see some fandom content and could easily have missed it.)

#terry pratchett #discworld #no need to tag tournament announcer yet let's wait for my official intro post #and i'll tag popular tp fandom blogs then too #also i am going to implement a rule that you can't vote on a poll unless you've read both books #i've been doing it on my indie movie blog and i think it might be annoying but it's been working i'm happy with it #i hate when these things become popularity contests and i'd love any underrated books of quality to have an equal chance of winning #as anything popular #sure the popular stuff is usually good so we'll likely end up with later rounds where most people can vote #but it'll be interesting and nice to uplift underdogs #i'll include a see results button so everyone can be involved

i dont trust a bitch that hates ronance

like wdym u like stedd1e(<3) or god forbid fucking h4rr1ngr0ve(😒) but you dont like ronance🤨🤨🤨🤨

like if u dnt ship it bc ur rooting for robin and vickie or ur a super yay jxncy person or smt sure whatever. but if u HATE ronance??? i do not trust you.

#anyone thats 100% insistent and totally sure that nance is straight gets my side eye tbh #bc like did u listen to murrays lil expose on her💀 'ur scared to be urself and instead rely on safety of conventional man' #yeahhh not queer coded at all #when we talk abt how mlm ships need 100x as much evidence as straight ships to be considered plausible??? #yeah that but x10000000 for wlw ones jfc #like steve can have a male friend that says hes got nice abs or smthn and everyones WOOF WOOF BARK GRR GAY PEOPLE!!! #sure okay have fun besties #but nancy is like 🥰robin ik i wanted nothing to do w u 5 seconds ago but ive actually decided ur my fav person🥰 #🥰we are gonna spend the rest of our time on this world saving mission glued together ok🥰 #anyway. do i believe it has any shot at endgame?? no! #but i do not like the way that people are like st3ddie<333❗❗❗ (i love it too dont get me wrong fruity four my loves) #and then totally ignore ronance. or worse. see them as side characters 💀 #i have so many thoughts on this but just. im usually a defender of why fandoms fixate on mlm ships bc women tend to have less development #(im a byler first. bc theyre the most obviously romantically coded in a Oh this one has Actual Potential way) #but robin and nancy are fairly well rounded characters. and they interact a fuck ton in s4. so. usual defenses are a no go #and now im ready to sword fight the haters #ronance #this is incomprehensible #but im right #only censoring ship names so i dnt end up in their tags i love stedd1e and jxncy dw
