Just a small unasked-for update, since I said I'd update in a week and it's been almost two

Because this is how I have spent the majority of my free time last week

Not even done, re-written 5 different scenes, haven't done a re-read over half of it. I'm so deep in the trenches with this one there is so much baked in here... I hope you guys like a million random scenes that don't *have* to exist, but do.

(Also like 3 hours of that Firefox time is "research" aka watching baseball for this chapter)

#im starting to grow concerned that im overwriting #i mean i should have been concerned awhile ago #but. idk its not like theres any actual rules #i can have fun with them right... #im guessing most people just enjoy the dynamic and arent like. eager for this thing to have a climax and a conclusion #but if im wrong maybe i should stop writing chapters this long lmfao #cos a chunk of it really can just stay in my head...or i can cut #but i kinda assume people just wanna read it all #i guess we'll see! #ok im gonna try and finish this thing now #i est. i still have like 2k words to add... lol #what was i saying about overwriting? #ok it will probs get easier when im not trying to write scenes alongside a 4.5hr baseball game #ok bye #sugar daddy au

I am once again demanding women's pro baseball

#every time i think about it i get mad and frustrated #idk i was just wondering how girls playing in coed youth leagues feel when they age out and get basically told 'ok no more baseball for you #which i assume happens since girl's high school baseball isn't really a thing #pointless post

12-year-old Carolyn King fought for a spot on her local Little League team, despite the national Little League organization prohibiting girls from playing. She brought her suit to federal court. 

Dr. Louis Kivi confirmed that baseball was not any more dangerous to girls than it was to boys on June 27, 1973 (p. 1, 6).

[page 2]

A Twentyfour to eight.

Q And did some of the sons play in little league ball?

A I just had one.

Q And did you become familiar with the game and the way it is played and the equipment, and what is necessary and so on?

A Yes, sir.

Q And when was that that you became familiar with it?

A That was about 1960.

Q Okay. And based on your acquaintanceship with the game and your treatment of the patients that you have mentioned and your training and so on Doctor, would you have an opinion as to whether or not it would be dangerous or more dangerous for girls to play little league baseball then it would be for boys to play little league baseball, assuming there ages to be between ten and twelve?

A I think that I would say it would make no difference what sex they are. It makes a difference in how strong they are, what kind of child they are.

Q Can you say, as a generality, that one sex would be stronger or weaker then another sex at this age?

A I think there would be very little difference.

Q Do you have an opinion as the children grow older

Lockwood & Co. Appreciation Week Day 1: Favorite Character from the Main Trio

Genuinely my favorite of the three of them depends on which one I’m actively thinking about. It’s Lucy’s turn today! Love that funky little Listener and her unreliable narration.

ID Under the Cut!

[ID: A black-and-white picture of Lucy Carlyle, a young woman with shoulder-length hair and bangs. She looks frightened, but she stands firm, brandishing a sword over her shoulder with two hands against some unseen foe. A halo of jagged white lines surrounds her, fading into a black background.]

#l&coaw2023 #lockwood & co #lucy carlyle #my art #I've been meaning to play with these hatching brushes for FOREVER and I had a lot of fun with this piece #and before you come into the comments like ''oh Lily she's supposed to have a rapier you don't use a rapier with two hands'' #consider that I make up the rules here and I say she would swing it like a damn baseball bat if needs must #and she would look cool as hell doing it

not to cry about male manipulator music on main but when slaughter beach dog wrote “Drive me home and I'll sleepwalk back to you / I am the girl that I thought I outgrew,” and “When I leave I will leave in a quiet way / But I am too quiet to do anything but stay,” that was insane.

#music #slaughter beach dog #male manipulator #modern baseball #also to be clear i dont necessarily think that jake ewald and co are male manipulators #it's just that their fanbase is mostly douchebags #like specifically the modern baseball contingent #~~~

imagining a billy & max role reversal au where billy is max's feral little brother who only loves one (1) person and it is his older sister who stepped in when no one else would

#rei rambles #stranger things #billy hargrove #max mayfield #like im thinking she didnt know at first but since billy's younger it's harder for him to hide it #when max gets confirmation in front of her one day--neil shoving him against the wall by his neck #for hanging with the wrong sorts of people--max steps in right away and ends up taking the beating. #they run away but eventually get caught and this is why neil moves them out to hawkins. #at first all they did was argue and yell at each other even as they were running away but billy saw that she not only cared #but unlike his mother she wasnt going to leave. in fact she was leaving her *own* mother for *billy*. #(the plan was to try to get the both of them to max's dad but they never got there.) #their road trip to hawkins is fraught but also has this tense sort of understanding of respect #and there exists a ride-or-die vibe to them that didnt exist before. #(btw max has a camaro bc she needed a car and took billy as some sort of parent-mandated bonding trip and billy chose the car.) #by the time all the upside down stuff happens billy's gotten to the point where he'd step in front of his dad's fists for max if he had to #like he used to do for his mother before she left. because he's starting to trust that max wont leave. #(also yes this is an au where the party is all teenagers and steve & co are the kids lol. el escapes as a teen and she's MUCH angrier.) #anyways this all leads to max with a baseball bat with nails in it in a junkyard and her tiny brother trying to get in between her and #a demodog lol. they yell at each other about it. billy is also the type to step in front of her when he doesnt trust someone and growl. #max is exasperated and annoyed and always berates him for it bc seriously she doesnt need protecting ESPECIALLY from tiny shitheads #but she's secretly a little fond about it too. just a little. #at one point they have a fight bc billy's like 'youre not my MOTHER you cant REPLACE HER' and max is like #'GOOD I DONT WANT TO BE YOUR MOM IM YOUR FUCKING SISTER' but billy will admit years and years later that she raised him. #she also clocks billy pulling steve's pigtails right away in the junkyard haha. #btw i imagine she's actually just borrowing the nail bat from lucas. mike is the one that shoots guns. #jonathan is the one that gets lost in the upside down with will trying to find him. #steve and nancy still date and break up but it's less angsty and more funny bc they're middle schoolers lol. #max to steve (secretly rooting for billt's crush): and she wouldnt stop talking about jonathan?? dump her ass! #also steve grows up less of a shithead too bc he ends up sideways involvwd through nancy through mike when nance gets nosy and finds a #superpowered teenager hiding in her basement. this somehow ends with dustin adopting steve haha.

3 years of torture with this computer, the awful lag, the loud ass fan, the glitches, the constant game crashing cos my gpu/cpu can't handle any games at all, it's been such a nightmare playing this game on this tiny office laptop, i'm so ready for this next chapter. : )

#it takes me hours to take a photoset #for one picture maybe an hour cos it's just constant crashing lmao and laglaglaggg #this old laptop is getting the baseball bat treatment <3

day 9 - [cosplay corner] - a character similar to them, design wise

i wanna be a witch

#oc stuff #Paloma Delmara (OC; Demon Days) #the owl house #luz noceda #its very funny that beta luz + s3 luz have that baseball bat bc an early version of paz had a bat too #that version of the story was called 'demon hunters' and paz & co. actively searched for other people w/ demons and hunted down said demons #it was fun #my art

I know we literally just got an update but do you think we’re gonna see Charlie again next chapter? Missing my little man (and also hoping for more jealous Dennis over charmacs sleeping arrangement in the future). As always I adore your writing tysm!!!

This is the first line of dialogue for the next chapter...

I've been missing him too, and I fought myself hard to keep Chapter 9 going mostly so we could see him at the end, but it was really just going on too long, lmfao. (And don't worry, that definitely comes into play...)

Thanks, glad you're enjoying :)

#ok first line is subject to change #cos i have this insane issue where whenever i share something ahead of finalization i have to change it #but the chapter 100% starts with charlie and mac #just dont wanna share too much :-) #but baseball is back next chapter too whoooo!! #sugar daddy au #ask

Baseball players make such Shapes

#ray's art #the looser sketches on the left were done during one of the cubs-cardinals london series games at the weekend #(thanks luc munzterism-diggerism for letting me know it was on) #wilder and yun #adjacent bc the other sketches are playing w ideas for baseball in the w&y verse (which is co-ed) #and ref'd from some old footage a 1940s world series (for the older looser uniforms)

[funsize-cenobites]

Scout Teamfortress is such a good character. He makes me smile uncontrollably any time I see him being a dumbass. What a good character design.

Just some fuckin guy.

You guys ever wonder how he got into the killin' business? Cause I do.

Might write something on that someday..

#tf2 #They all mean something to me #But shitter man extreme sport dude is special because the Raw Unearned Confidence thinnly veiling deep insecurities is #So Relatable. #like buddy #You're so different from most of the guys you work with. Were you a drug runner in a gang? When you realized you were good at baseball #But wouldnt ever be good enough for it to be a career and your mom needed you? #What did you do Scout? When you realized you had been fucked by life? No degree. Probably not even a diploma. #I bet you felt so hopeless and useless. I get that. #Who'd you turn to? When all you had were two strong legs and a bat? Who put a gun in your hands first? I bet it wasn't Mann. Co #tf2 scout

I went to a protest today against the anti-trans legislation proposed in [state I currently live in], and I felt some kind of way when I learned that the organizers for the protest were mostly teenagers (some early twenty-somethings as well). It just hit in kind of like. I don’t know, a tiring way. I’m not trying to belittle them for their age with that statement - I was just as scared and angry as they are when I was their age. I just wish they didn’t have to be the ones organizing a protest, if that makes sense.

I also was offered a flyer to their organization on three separate occasions (by three separate people), and their organization is 100% for trans youth (not adults) and I didn’t realize that until after I had been given a flyer the first time and read it and I didn’t know how to say “uh. I’m twenty-eight.” the next two times, reiterating my suffering that if I’m gendered as a guy people think I’m a teenager

#to paraphrase a co-worker the first time I wore a baseball cap to work: #'you look like you /really/ need to know where the cafeteria is' #lenny's personal tag

Tempted to do a long-form write-up on Thousand Sons, (ab)use of psychic powers, The Worst Person You Know Making A Valid Point, parallels with discussion about technological/scientific progress and how difficult it can be to tackle this subject with nuance and without sliding into fascist rhetoric about “commodity breeding weakness”, but doing that would require me to do an actual full read of “A Thousand Sons” (with notes), at least skim “Prospero Burns” (in case Abnett elaborates on McNeil’s ideas) and prod “Master of Prospero” with a five foot pole. That’s two Horus Heresy novels written by McNeil and I already had to put my re-read of ATS on hold because it made me want to slam my head against the wall within the first 25 pages.

I mean, I have to read all of this (and “Battle for the Abyss”, and “The Outcast Dead”, and “The Crimson King”, and “Fury of Magnus”, and the Black Legion novels, and the Ahriman omnibus, and that fourth Ahriman novel I don’t have yet, and...) anyway because fanfic research, but still.

#warhammer 40k #horus heresy #the remembrancer subplots in False Gods and ATS are fucking rancid and I hate them #McNeill should be legally bound to only write about big beefy men he wants to fuck #unless he's overseen by a sensitivity reading team armed with baseball bats #being a sleazebag towards your female co-workers in your thoughts only isn't fucking allyship #it's still being a fucking sleazebag
