Sometimes I remember that my whole house was so obsessed with the show Merlin, that we named the first tree we planted in the yard Merlin.

When it was given to us 11 years ago it was hardly a scraggly stick, and now it looks like a giant bush

Artist rendition

#this is the first year it has like!! actual bark!!! #only the middle/ main trunk #I’m so emotional over this tree you guys don’t even know #he won’t stop growing branches on the bottom #so he just looks like a huge bush when leafed out #then another tree we planted the same year looks like a Maple Tree TM #I love all the trees in my yard #every day when it’s warm enough I tell them all they’re doing a great jobs #and one who burnt during a really hot summer didn’t grow for YEARS #but we didn’t give up on it #no sir #we cut off the burnt limb #we kept telling it that it was doing great #and last year!!! it finally started growing new twigs!! #it grew more than like 5 leaves!!! #and this year so far there’s already a LOT of growth!!!!!! #and one tree I got from a childhood best friend like 5 years ago has absolutely taken off #like holy hell #the tree was a sapling from the tree from her backyard #it was my favourite tree growing up #it’s were we were kids together #guys no you don’t get it #we slowly fell out of friendship and then years later she texted me #‘hey you know that one tree you used to love? do you want a sapling from jt otherwise my mom is throwing it in compost.’ #‘she thinks you don’t care about this tree anymore but I know you do’ #*sobs* #Spoofy tambles

Honestly I'd love to know what kind of comments you'd be adding to the fic for your mother. Very curious :0 (also I'm terrible at knowing what information an outsider would and wouldn't have and/or would need)

Sure, I'll add a few. (Redacted since my google account is my full name.) Also remember that y'all also got the benefit of my author's notes, but I'm not giving my mom the AO3 copy because over my dead body does she look at that account. I'm giving her a document copy. So a lot of the comments will likely be details you guys already got in either a post or author's note.

^^^ This one is written specifically because my mom, like me, has been going to Big Bend National Park since she was young. A member of my family has gone there nearly every single year since....1965? lol. So it's a fun tidbit for her to know I was thinking of it while writing this. (There will be a similar note when the Pinnacles trail comes up, because I named Pinnacles after a trail in Big Bend.)

me trying to explain Scar's general dramatic flair (i also have a comment somewhere explaining that Scar is dyslexic and that is why he occasionally mispronounces stuff in the fic, and why he says the scientific documents the rangers let him borrow were difficult to get through)

nicknames

My mother and I are both Gary the cat stans. Trust me she knows Exactly what I am picturing here.

^^ a few other comments on the story, ranging from "background character details" to "research details" to "totally unecessary personal opinions"

it's also fun for little self-aware asides:

She already knows a significant amount of the plot, including the ending, because I talked to her about it. That is also why she gets to read it, because the moment I opened my mouth about writing it I basically had to. I don't always talk about my writing with her but I really wanted to talk about this one. So! By talking about it I just made the decision for myself that I'd allow her to read it. She is....very excited haha. And I am too? I mean I think I am going to send it to her and then just immediately go back to my apartment so I don't have to be in the same house as her while she's reading it LOL. The embarassment of people who know you too closely reading your things etc etc. But I'm very proud of this story and I don't think she realizes how good of a writer I can be. She knows I'm good at it (like, she's read my essays and newspaper stories) but not how I handle fiction.

#quara asks #hc_firewatch_au #i considered making ANOTHER copy for general friends/family/other audience as well #since i know at least one friend asked to read it back in december #i wonder if she still remembers she wanted to read it. i may not remind her LOL #i'm picky about real life people seeing my work. it's so much more intensely personal than showing them my other creative stuff #it's also just a deeply unhinged hobby to write fanfiction in general #i'm not saying that to denigrate fanfiction. yall KNOW i love it deeply. #but you gotta admit there's a level of derangedness to showing Normal People(tm) something like this #hi yes i spent a large portion of my last year writing deeply researched & angsty fiction about minecraft blorbos. here go cry while u read #anyway the reason it'd be a whole new annotated copy and not just the same as my mom's is that i've got a specific relationship with my mom #that will influence how all these annotations are written #we're besties btw. #i'm not even worried about killing her at all on our upcoming 16 day trip together! #i feel like that reads sarcastic it wasnt meant to be

went downstairs for Sustenance and my wife one of my roommates was curled up in the fetal position in a chair with our dog and one of the cats on top of her there is so much love in the world if you only open your eyes

#it was so sweet #i am not in love with her despite the way this is worded #we have been best friends since high school she is basically my wife atp #we also run this house #one of our roommates is her bf and the other is basically a child #roommate drama goes NUTS #but yeah #we're kind of the Moms of the House (TM) #lilith archives

"disappointment" is when you show a drawing of the main male character of the book you're writing to your mother and she says he's "kinda ugly" as if he had the responsability of being handsome for being the Main Male Character (tm)

#mom it's Tadeu we're talking about #after everything i told you about Tadeu do you really think he'd be Tipically Handsome (tm)? #also this is weird bc some people might actually think he's attractive bc beauty is relative #i personally don't imagine him as a dude i'd simp for #even then what if my book gets a series (lol) and the actor who plays him is handsome while still being perfect for he role??? what if??? #actually if you look at his board on my pinterest you will see the dudes i put there that remind me of him #are actually very cute in my view and they still look like Tadeu even if Tadeu's not “that cute” for me #so who knows dude??? what even is beauty??? why do people need to be “beautiful”???? #i think my mom forgot who's her child lmao #i LOVE taking everything that society made typical and popular and putting my own twist on it #and funnily she knows about this #like come on it's a book about time travel and no one time travels on it lol #the main character is a girl that has a boy best friend and they don't fall in love with each other #the old lady who serves as a mentor in a literary sense is actually an angry bitch and not your typical Wise Mentor (tm) like Gandalf #while other books' mentors are saying philosofical shit about life the mentor of my book is holding herself to punch the charas on the face #but really why do people need to be beautiful? can't we just BE people??? #also just bc i like men that doesn't mean all my male characters are supposed to be attractive to me #to me my characters are my children not my boyfriends #UUUUUGH MOM WHY MOM #I'M SO ANGRY LOL RESPECT MY SON TADEU HE DESERVES THE WORLD #LEAVE HIM AND HIS UGLY HAIRSTYLE IN PEACE #tio morcego tá pistola

Theory of Love is definitely one of the hardest BLs to take seriously that I've watched so far (NOBODY SPOIL ME PLS I am up to ep6 and hoping we're gonna switch at some point from Gun POV to Off POV and turn the perspective on its wet-from-water-bottle-showering head, but I don't KNOW for SURE so don't tell meeee) but one thing I'm really vibing with is just how well it captures the sheer disastrousness of disastrous gay friendships!!!

I don't love watching a bunch of dudes be toxically masculine @ every girl that walks past them (though I understand that this performance is the sibling to the boy craziness I performed at all the girls I was in love with in grade school), but I just love the dynamic within the friends group of like WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? WHY ARE OUR FRIENDS SUDDENLY ALWAYS MAD AT EACH OTHER??? WHERE IS ALL THIS DRAMA COMING FROM?????

The drama is coming from Disastrous Queer Friendship. From two friends who cannot/will not communicate how they feel for each other or why "just" friendship is not working. There is no escaping it my guys all you can do is ride the ship through the storm at your bros' side

#and to be very fair to bone and two they ARE doing their level best to ride that ship through the storm so far!! #no idea what's happening one minute to the next who is in love with who who is mad at who whose side to take #but they are gonna stay in it with their bros!!! support whoever has a crush on whoever!! keep the Gang together through hell or high water #i'm watching this very quickly for me b/c i neeeed that pov switch lol i am going to be fr disappointed if we don't pov switch #BUT DON'T SPOIL ME!!!!!!!!!! #theory of love #dear diary #it's jsut interesting because if i watched this idk 10 years ago i'd be very annoyed w/ both third and khai for a lot of their behavior #third being sooooo bitter every time khai kisses a new girl khai treating third's housework and support the way a spoiled kid does his moms #but it's all just so real in a Disastrous Gay Friendship (tm) #it is so hard to unblur and untangle all the different blurred tangled lines and actually communicate past the giant feelings #when third was like 'i meant to be the third thats his friend but i once again ended up the third thats in love w him. i'm angry at myself' #SO REAL! #he knows he is being unfair but he cant HELP it he doesnt know how to navigate his way out of the role he's caged himself in #friendship isn't a cage but it's real easy to convince yourself it is when you see your queer feelings as a threat to that friendship #and it's real easy to see queer feelings as a threat to friendship if you live in a society!!!! #lol this is prob all self-evident but i am just truly enjoying the messiness #back at it again in the shower with my clothes on. bawling.

Ruby really just fucking went into the Ever After finding out just how badly all of her plan with Amity and getting help fast failed on top of the knowledge that she will always be a target for Salem to Grimmify her or worse for the rest of her life and also the way she has NO idea whether her mom is dead or worse anymore and having it left up to her imagination. AND on top of finding out that Atlas fell and so many people died and in the end it was quite literally all for nothing. AND on top of that Penny died anyway despite the fact that everything that she’d ever wanted (finally being seen as more than just a war machine and making new friends) was finally coming true. Everything has well and truly gone to all shit possible in her mind, Penny dying wasn’t even a last straw for her it was like half the payload getting dropped on her at maximum velocity. I’m gonna go to bed <3

#the way having Silver Eyes is such a personal concept to Ruby's character and something that causes her so much pain and fear every day #I really hope they can explore it some more in Vacuo potentially #just #wanna be able to see all the other magical people who aren't Oscar describe just how it feels to them to have those powers some more #the Maidens are a long chain of souls that are carried between all those different people #SEWs are constantly getting genocided and are so far apart in time and space that most of them probably never nor ever will have any idea \ #\ just what they possess and how special and how dangerous it is #Ruby only found out through the Ozluminati and a survivor of said genocide #after she accidentally knocked herself out activating it while watching her friend die in front of her #and now from literal fucking god and the instigator of it as well #Now that Winter has fully embraced the power of Love and Friendship tm I think it would be really interesting to see a more empathetic #perspective on what inheriting a Maiden's powers means #especially since it was through a genuine emotional connection that was built up over a long time this time rather than just purely a last \ #\ thoughts type situation #at least from Winter's POV we know that aspect of the transfer has a ton of weight to her #wondering how fast Whitley and Willow are also gonna join the Ozluminati #no Schnee left behind from that 😭 #I'm also wondering if Whitley is gonna start to embrace his semblance how that his sister is a Maiden and his other sister is a huntress #and his mom's summon literally saved his life #and he doesn't have the business anymore bc Mantle is in the past and so is Atlas #so ik it's unlikely bc RWBY doesn't have time for filler but I really wish we could get an arc where Whitley starts to embrace that side of #himself some more #anyhoo enough rambles about magic people it's bedtime #riin rewatches v8

i have a headache but also i dont want to go to sleep just yet dkjnfjds i want me-time

(warning: as i was writing the tags of this post this turned into another kinda-heavy rant about the situation my group of friends and i are. so keep that in mind)

#things were weird today when She(tm) was there but when she left things were normal again #but these hours were kinda stressful rip or more like... there was an inherent discomfort and tension in the air #with some ugly commentaries and actions on her part. like its your (supposed) best friend's birthday at least try to hide your disgust 👍 #birthday you ~apparently~ forgot until it the day before. also you didnt had a single penny to spend on the gift for him #but you sure as hell had it to go eat with your college friends to expensive places! girl at least dont post about it on insta #and just in case; this wasnt a '*goes to expensive places before* -oh i dont have money sowwy :((' #this was a '-oh i dont have money sowwy :(( *goes to expensive places after it*' #what we were asking for collaboration was way less than what she spent on those places. it was AT THE VERY LEAST 3000 ars per food #and you know what she wanted to give for the gift? 500 ars!!! you cant buy shit with it; let alone if we only collaborated with 500 each #like she wanted. we're 4; genuine question what kinda shit can you buy for $2000. maybe a good quality cup but we already gave him that #but even then the point is not the money; the thing is the attitude. you cant spend more than $500 on us #but you can spend at least $6000 on your other friends; given you went to eat with them two days in a row. priorities i guess? #OH! and talking about it!! can you fucking believe she INVESTIGATED the phone of our ~new~ friend (the one shes jealous of) #and DEADASS said 'oh i see. my mom has an A51'. our friend has an A20 if im not wrong; which might not be an A51 but its. still expensive?? #also your mom has an A51 but you have an iPhone 5 since you were on high school. but hey; apple i am right?? inherently better than an A20 #sorry i have less than that; i have an A10s (that i got on the start of 2020). can i still breathe the same air as you and your mom /s #once again the problem is not the money or the phone or WHATEVER. its the fucking attitude shes having. you want to pretend you have money #and act like youre superior to people who 'dont'; when in reality YOU ARE MIDDLE CLASS. YOU ARENT UPPER CLASS; NOT EVEN UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS #YOURE MIDDLE CLASS. MIDDLE CLASS LIKE THE REST OF US; NOT LIKE YOUR COLLEGE FRIENDS YOU LOVE SO MUCH AND WANT TO IMPRESS #YOU SPEND MONEY YOU DEFINITELY DONT HAVE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO APPEAR UPPER-MIDDLE AT THE VERY LEAST. but thats a lie #a lie that if these beloved friends bothered to ACTUALLY know even the slightest about you; like we do; would fall apart. but they wouldnt! #because they dont care about you as much as we care(d). do you think they will tolerate this fucking attitude youre having towards us? #no they wouldnt. trust me; they WOULDNT. they will tell you to fuck off and leave you completely alone. go cry a river. #god fucking dammit why are you like this. WHY you turned like this. or rather; why we were SO GODDAMN blind we didnt noticed this before #negative

having to ration my meds for a week thanks to refill fuckups right as i'm slamming facefirst back into my Extensive Web of Infodumps About Quarry Meta hyperfixation is biphobia. if it's a sign i'm ignoring it

#who. Who. is going to talk about kaitlyn and jacob's codependency in great depth #both what we got in canon and in versions of their dynamic where she /isn't/ just like. a ballsout sadistic emotional abuser lmao #they're both really really interesting dynamics in different ways and i'm like #they set up ALL the pieces for her arc to involve facing and trying to learn how to move on from her codepency with jacob #to admit that it's hurting them both and holding them back from living their lives #that romantic or not you can love someone very deeply and still need to let each other go #even by their own standards where they think they're not portraying her as abusive lol they set it up #'kaitlyn chooses inaccessible people to crush on and then refuses to follow it up because the elephant in the room is that she feels guilty #at the idea of pursuing her own relationships when she Owes Jacob Keeping Him Out of Trouble(tm) #she has appointed herself guardian of her best friend who does need help and support for his brand of destructiveness self and otherwise #but she does it by suffocating him; and he did not ask her to do it; and she resents that he doesn't seem to have gotten the memo #that she is chained to him; so he should be chained to her too. hence her being Like That about his relationship with emma' #i am going on but there's So Much Here they could have explored; that would have been genuinely humanizing for even an abusive kaitlyn #and instead we got 'Mom Friend whose character is mostly relegated to being the shoulder fairy for the majority of the game' :| #anyway ANYWAY anyway i am so very normal about them more disastrous toxic/abusive alterous relationships please #[kettering by the antlers plays in the distance] #quarrytag #quarrycrit tag #the crit files

very cool fact we just learned ab kim. she doesnt like it when we yell at her dog for pissing in the house and will proceed to get mad at us to the point of ignoring us. very childish

#he started peeing on the carpet this time nd my mom yelled at him #i love having these kinds of people in my life SLASH S #i want my mom to just put her foot down and tell her to find some other friend to live with until her dude comes back from The Military TM #but shes like nooo she can watch the dogs for us when we go on vacation so we womt have to put them in a kennel #LIKE GIRL I WILL PAY THE KENNEL FEE I CANT TAKE THIS

I do love how the fandom thought Camila was Normal(tm) but now that we have gotten more of her it’s been revealed that she’s just as weird as the rest of Luz’s friends and family. Like this woman was in an energy drink pyramid scheme for three years. She beat up a conspiracy theorist with la chancla. She discovered that her daughter had been replaced by a snake shifter and went ‘oh sweet two daughters’. She keeps a closet in her basement filled with cosplays and fandom memorabilia. She scheduled her wisdom teeth surgery the DAY BEFORE her wedding. The fact that she gave her baseball bat a little kiss and yelled ‘BRUJA TOSS’ before attacking the demon attempting to kill her daughter. She left her other daughter back home to impersonate herself as soon as Vee suggested it. Truly the most Mom of all time

So I’m reading the lunar chronicles and, as of most of the way through cress, I gotta say I love the men.

It’s just like

Jacin - hot asshole who will probably be important next book but this book has just existed. He hasn’t even made friends. Literally no one here likes him.

Thorne - wannabe Byronic hero but he hasn’t actually done anything selfish or bad boy. He’s just unfailingly patient and acts like some sort of team mom.

Wolf - the most Tortured Boy (tm) you can be, wavering between mindless violence and catatonic meltdown. Edward Cullen wishes he was this guy.

Kai - damsel in distress. That’s it. He’s had 3 books, and he hasn’t managed to play an active role in his own life yet, he’s basically a virgin sacrifice waiting to be rescued from a dragon.

Okay no but I think Alastor seems quite fond of Mimzy, genuinely.

I don't know how much he Cares(tm) about her cause Alastor gives the impression of someone who doesn't necessarily form attachments the way most people do. But he's obviously very very comfortable around her.

His expressions are more at ease than they usually are, his voice is more genuine, a lot of the ways he expresses himself around her feels more real than anything else we've seen from him. He lets her be touchy and make flamboyant comments about him without ever seeming uncomfortable or upset like he does around everyone else (hell, he even initiated the hug when they first saw each other). He never threatens her and she isn't threatened by him (even when he kicks her out?). And it's clearly not an act they've been friends since they were alive (over one hundred years now??) and apparently she regularly comes to him for protection and favors without having her soul stolen or being threatened like, again, he's done (or tried to do) with literally every other person he's ever done anything for, and he seems happy with that.

Which makes it odd to me that he'd throw her out at all. He knows how she is, he doesn't seem to mind it, and in fact, he seems to enjoy her company generally. Hell, even when she outright challenges him on it, "You love taking care of me...there's no way you care about that place", he doesn't refute it, he just says "I can't have that here". Interestingly enough, while he's very tense, he also doesn't seem nearly as threatening even in this scene as he usually would, especially to someone he thinks disrespected him in some way, which only fuels my stance that he probably wouldn't usually throw her out like this under most circumstances.

But, well..he's "On someone else's leash" now. And I highly suspect that he doesn't have any choice except to protect the hotel (or charlie?) really. Which would explain why he threw out the only person he seems really fond of, why he keeps dodging the question of why he's helping the hotel in the first place, and possibly why he disappeared at the same time as Charlie's mom all those years ago..
