#carried books everywhere

[davidfosterwallaceandgromit]

I've never seen Goncharov, but I knew the name rang a bell--in my much loved (as you can see) x-files episode guide, the critics list it as one of the many ham-handed references sandwiched into Redux I (as noted here by Mr. Cornell, one of Chris Carter's worst episode ever <3)

#xf #goncharov #I used to carry this book around with me EVERYWHERE

Chapter 5: Chasing Beauty

In Chapter 5 of "Here, There and Everywhere" (Book III of Carry that Weight) George Martin gives the McCartney songs on Revolver a good listening to, ("Only someone who has known a private agony and has thought about all the deep and quiet ways people suffer could have written Eleanor Rigby," he thought...)

He and John Lennon argue about another take for Revolver, while Paul's maturing compositions leave both of them studying his work with something like awe.

And John remembers something very frustrating, and very sexy...

So....

This is may be the first time I've had to interrupt myself in mid-chapter, but I have to. The thing was supposed to be about 8,000 words long -- 6,000 of them absolute SLASH -- but something has come up this week that is challenging and so (because I don't want to go too long between chapters) here is the first part of that chapter, which is mostly an atmospheric, "backgrounder." We are somewhere in May of 1966 and the boys are still recording Revolver, prepping for a tour none of them really want to do, and the "bigger than Jesus" stuff hasn't yet blown up, although that's coming. For the sake of the story I have not held perfectly to the recording dates of all the songs.  PLEASE NOTE: this chapter was supposed to end with an epic bit of slash -- about 4,000 words of it -- but I have decided to put that off until next week, when I can write it with a clear head, as this week has.... challenges.

So... I hope it doesn't bore you -- and be ready for the UTTER PSYCHOSEXUAL SLASH that will be chapter 6, which will simply be called: "Wales, Summer, 1961."

For now... Here is Chapter 5, "Chasing Beauty." It's short, but I hope you like it.

(Oh, no, I wasn't making a joke, Paul....)

i feel like oliver is the type of person that doesn’t know what “playing for fun” means

#oliver carries the official rules with him everywhere #(rooming with percy for 7 years also had an impact) #look!!! #i drew hands!!! #flintwood #oliver wood #marcus flint #it’s not perfect #but i’m figuring out my style y’all #definitely prefer the comic book/cartoonish type of drawings #hp fanart #quidditch #quidditch art

2023 really was the year of geese for me, wasn’t it

#first me sitting by the river drawing geese for hours on end #then me carrying around that book with wild geese by Mary Oliver in it everywhere I went like it was a security blanket #then the goose themed haymitch breakdown of late autumn #and now I’m knitting a goose sweater. to commemorate it all.

More NaNoWriMo excerpts because ya girl is having a Time™️ being a fantasy protagonist:

Her eyes fell on the last lines written organically after the kidnapping– A never-ending winter has set in, overtaking the kingdom. With heavy hearts, the people will endure.  The kingdom had been in a never-ending snowstorm for the last 22 years, and without quite knowing what compelled her hand to do so, Rosely flipped to the last blank page in the book. Almost mindlessly, she ran a hand over the paper, willing the words from her mind into existence. It didn’t matter that this wasn’t her book, the letters and words obeyed all the same, filling in with her own flavor of handwriting— half cursive-half print, rather small and slanted to the right.  And after decades of endless winter, the kingdom experienced its first spring. The snow melted away to flowers, and all manners of animals returned to the forests. Life returned to normal, with the cold as nothing more than a distant memory.  She held the book to the light suspended above her head, admiring her work. They carved themselves into the paper, glowing for a brief moment before cementing themselves onto the page. The joy of it was short lived as a dull sensation began in her left eye. It began at the very center of her eyeball, stretching along it in pricks and lashes, as if someone were cutting precise cuts along the membrane with a scalpel. The book dropped from her hand as she clasped it over her eye, drawing away with blood. It dripped down her cheek and down the side of her neck, staining the white of the nightgown. And as the letters carved themselves into the book, each settling onto the page until the glow was gone from them, something carved itself inside her eye– a cut for every letter that she’d written, making a shape of something inside her eye. She stumbled to the glass case and, blinking through the blood, squinted and winced and poked at her eye, holding it open. Watching in horror as the intricate petals of a rose carved themselves into her iris, the pupil of her eye as the center.

Sometimes I just hold my copy of Neverwhere to my chest and I finally feel home.

Somewhere between life, somewhere between death. Somewhere between the shadows and the spotlight. Somewhere between getting better and being worse. Somewhere I don’t have to pretend it all is something else. Somewhere I’m not the only one in pain. Neverwhere.

The jewels of Neverwhere fall out of the pages and I hold them close. I can smell the cities of the underside when I have my nose in the book. I can drag out the images to life and cry on something’s shoulder. A nobody, like me. A nobody’s shoulder from Neverwhere.

#my disabled neurodivergent broke self loves this book #neverwhere #it’s my comfort book #i carry it everywhere #after all it is common to bring your heart where your body goes #neil gaiman books #thank you neil gaiman #neil gaiman #sorry if this is over emotional; I might be getting tested for a terminal illness soon

I loved the teen talk this week for so many reasons, but Beth May getting a concussion, smoking weed, ending up in the hospital, and crying about never being good at her job again, was the most relatable thing.

Her success despite being a mess gives me such hope. I too am a god damn mess with a successful career somehow. Nice to know we can do both. Cry and keep going.

#Fucking Bipolar as Fuck #I have cried for similar reasons #reasons I don't smoke weed #read the immortal soul salvage yard #it is so good #it's now my emotional support book #I carry it everywhere #I have a career? #The people I work with are the best #They are a group of guys who also support my insanity #One time I had to cry about SSRIs while holding a teddy bear #in front of them #mortifying #I feel loved #dnddads #dungeons and daddies #dnddads s2

A new notebook for a new poetry project.

As mentioned a few posts prior to this one, I save everything. But I downright hoard notebooks/sketchbooks/journals. (Truly, if I were a dragon, I would be a dragon with a notebook hoard.) People gift them to me a lot; also, when I have extra $$ and see a pretty notebook or sketchbook, I buy it. That way, I always have a large stack (hoard) of unused blank books, and whenever I need one for a new project, I have many to choose from.

(May 1, 2023)

#rust belt jessie #my photos #notebook #new notebook #this one was gifted to me last year as part of a set #and it is perfect for this new project #truthfully i always have multiple —books going at a time #a few for specific projects #a few that are writing catch-alls #a few that are art catch-alls #and then the one i carry everywhere with me which is a catch all catch-all #it always has sketches and writing and pressed flowers and grocery lists and… #also: #i read that edna millay pasted a photo of george dillon #(her inspiration for fatal interview) #inside the notebook in which she composed those sonnets #so i pasted a photo of the person who inspired my new project into my notebook #but i won’t share that here #even though the love affair was 18 years ago
