#i still need to add the title

[humlansbokbinderi]

I just finished my first bind for the year!! It's just a lil rebind, but I haven't rebound anything before so I learned a lot!

I'm really pleased with the book overall, but I really stuffed up the head and tail of the spine 😭

I was using a wallpaper sample as the book cloth and I had just enough to cover the book. Like, there's a tiny spot of white paste paper showing in one corner 🫣

#re-bound book #floral book cloth #bookbinding #i still need to add the title #and take better photos #oh #i made a little notebook too! #I'll show it later when I've got better lighting

Chapter 1 — Cleo

Title: The Ocean's Call Relationship: Cleo/Lewis Chapters: 1/? Summary: It’s never been easy for Cleo to find balance between being a mermaid and a normal girl; still, when she ran away into the ocean, she wasn’t planning on disappearing forever. But as the burden of everything that was going wrong in her life weighed on her, she finally decided to answer the ocean’s call, leaving everything behind: her problems, her family, her friends, the boy she was still painfully in love with… her whole life. But could there be something more behind her decision? And how will the people she left behind deal with the pain and guilt they will inevitably have to face? Friendships will be put to the test as Lewis, Emma, and Rikki's lives shatter before their eyes. They will do anything to find Cleo and bring her back, but will they be able to find a lost mermaid in the vastness of the ocean?

Here's the first chapter of my canon-divergence fic taking place during the events of 2x25 "Sea Change"! Hope you enjoy 💙

#h2o just add water #h2o fanfiction #clewis #h2o #my writing #so uuuhhh... as you can tell i'm not very good at writing synopsis or choosing titles 😂 #but i was getting really tired of typing and retyping the thing so i just published it as it was and be done with it 🤣 #first chapter is kinda short and an introduction to the story #still i'd love to know what you h2oes think 💜 #should be able to update pretty quickly cause the next chapter - lewis pov - is already done! just need to proofread it a bit! #also i feel like there were many more details to include in the tags and stuff but i'm too tired rn fsdgfsdfgsd

I think that 1) after nearly 9k words, this chapter is done, and 2) I have finally figured out all of the solutions to the three main mysteries and I am SO PLEASED WITH MYSELF ABOUT IT.

I’m going to get dinner and work on edits/formatting, then meet my brother and his gf for a drink, then should be ready to post tomorrow.

#yeah I needed to add the extra chapter lol #I’m still not sure if it will be 5 or 6 in the end #i think I’m just going to write out to the end and see how long it is and if there’s a natural breaking point #but I have first draft of longer fic (that still doesn’t have a working title) before I’m onto the conclusion #writing problems #ack I’m so pleased with myself #the third mystery I really did not come up with the solution to until like…this week #and yet when I went back the foundations were already there in earlier chapters #serially writing is so much fun guys I’m loving this haha

[lyssified]

shhh everyone else is sleeping :) it's just me, my christmas lights, my coffee, and my 2 computers open to adobe premiere and tumblr :)

#lyss says things #the editing saga #<- kind of #I'm still editing lol #I'm like. 2/3 done with the actual cutting and pasting #I'm doing audio mixing along the way #then I need to color grade & add titles #I can export tmrw night probably <3

Because this is casually a bookblr too (sometimes?), I'll share the books I recently bought off of thrift books, which I highly suggest if you're looking for used books in good condition. :)

Flush by Virginia Woolf

Butch Geography: Poems by Stacey Waite

I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuinston

The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell

Richard III (his biography) by Paul Murray Kendall

The Kingmaker's Daughter by Phillipa Gregory

As well as the DVD of Henry V (with Kenneth Branagh) and The White Queen period drama series 1 (even though they aren't books).

#I'll add pictures of the book covers soon #some are still in the mail #I swear I'm not doing an ad for thriftbooks even though I love them #I may be somewhat obsessed with the War of the Roses and Richard for a bit because I have to write a paper on him #I'm convinced that his and Henry's plays are Tudor propaganda-but I need to do more research first #campbell's book might contribute to my paper too since it's academic and on what makes a hero #also I needed to get the Kenneth Branagh version of Henry V because the Olivier version was incomprehensible (sorry) #I also watched his Henry V as an undergrad and was able to write a paper based on his version of the play so I know I'll understand him #I'm currently reading The Hero with a Thousand Faces but I should also pick up some of these other titles if I have time #I got a really good deal on some of these too #books #bookblr #currently reading #tbr #thriftbooks #mychatter

Happy Queer Media Monday!

Today: Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston

I only watched the movie, but it was quite lovely.

(The original, English book next to a German edition, from a random bookshop in Germany.)

Red, White & Royal Blue is a romance novel originally published in 2019 about a relationship between the son of the US President and a Prince of England. The two start out disliking each other enough to cause an international incident, which leads to their families starting a PR campaign focussing around giving the impression of them being actually friends. During it, they get to know each other better, and soon start a relationship, that they need to keep secret for diplomatic reasons. 

The book was extremely popular upon release and got a lot of positive feedback. It has been made into a movie by Amazon Prime in 2023, and quickly became one of the most watched romantic movies on the platform.

You can watch the trailer for the movie here.

Queer Media Monday is an action I started to talk about some important and/or interesting parts of our queer heritage, that people, especially young people who are only just beginning to discover the wealth of stories out there, should be aware of. Please feel free to join in on the fun and make your own posts about things you personally find important!

#I usually would add some links but I can't think of anything else that needs saying #romance is not my genre so I might be missing things #but honestly the story is not that deep #it IS very successful so you've probably seen the title floating around somewhere #like in a bookshop... #the movie was really nice #I'm still not over how big their budget must have been #compare it with other queer classics I've talked about like But I'm a Cheerleader #very. very. different budgets #it's still so unusual to see for a queer movie #also if you want proof that we are actually making progress? #this is good proof #books #movies #queer books #queer movies #gay romance #Red #White & Royal Blue #Queer Media Monday

Honestly? Did I want more from DTAMHD? Yes, I did. I wanted something signifying actual progression for Dennis' character (even just a crumb of genuine growth) , and I sincerely don't think we got that. However... we did get a fascinating insight into the process of his mind. Dennis' level of self-denial is so ironic and profound. He can't acknowledge the inevitability that he's middle-aged.

(I swear this episode honestly has given me an alt hc, that the show is based in his mind; because logistically, a man of his lifestyle and malnourishment could not commit the feats he is constantly sailing through. TGGB & DTAMHD... back-to-back? What happened to his hand? Did he even sprain it? Or is he just the most dramatic brat in the gang - clearly the latter.)

It is important to note that he didn’t fix the actual problem. He momentarily masked the symptoms, but ignore long-term help with blood pressure medicine is not going to fix the issue, nor is it going to protect him from fucking keeling over in a stressful situation (when he's not in a contained and quiet Doctor's exam room) and his blood pressure spikes.

I'm honestly a little jaded at this point (16 Fucking Seasons of crumbs, y'all), but if one were to continue 'trusting the structure' this episode conveyed a lot.

The B Plot: The pressure cooker. The metaphor parallels the building pressure Dennis quick-tempered bouts of rage. So, to toss out a little 'cat-in-the-wall' conjecture here: The pressure cooker is Dennis, but we all saw him eat that bloody diamond in the end and we all heard Mac's speech about coal turning into diamonds under massive pressure. Dennis' experience is a theory of pressure, he daydreams it all in the span of a minute or so. He's roleplaying with hypothetical obstacles. There's no risk. Maybe Dennis, isn't the pressure cooker, but the coal.

If I were to try and take anything hopeful out of this episode, it would be the way the narrative is showing us that this episode acknowledged that Dennis isn't ready yet. It's not his turn to break. It's going to take real, substantial pressure to get that diamond.

It was a hell of a misdirect (and honestly a little bit of a slap in the face), but if these characters live in the real world, where people are bound by the laws of mortality, then Dennis should have his time.

Genuinely, who fucking knows?

I'm not hating on the episode. We all know this is the trashy dick joke sitcom. I just thought that if Mac & Charlie could have moments of genuine heartbreak, culminating in deep catharsis, that maybe Dennis could have that too.... but no.

Can't wait to see the sunny dudebros miss the point & proclaim Dennis Reynolds - SA victim, traumatized individual with an emotionally tumultuous personality disorder - the new Andrew Tate.

I'm sorry, but yeah. I'm a little miffed. It was all a dream, and everything goes Dennis' way. Y'all I'm fucking tired. This was a great episode for Glenn, but a fucking frustrating episode for Dennis. I may have wanted a little macden, but all I cared about was seeing Dennis face the limitations of his mortality, to see that he's failing his body and his brain. He didn't have to actually take the medicine (I wouldn't expect him to), but Goddammit, everything seems to work out in his delusional favor. So, of course he's going to continue being delusional, and probably only change for the worse.

I'll say it: I wanted a broken Dennis, and we did not get that. He didn't even crack, the unbearble and apparently now canonical Golden God. That episode's title was intended to tease sunnyblr.

Excuse the plethora of tags. I just kept getting more irritated.

#what i take from the episode is further insight to the lengths of Dennis' repression which adds to my fic #iasip s16 #i will say this: i can't dislike this episode solely because of how phenomenal glennjamin's performance was. #I'd say I'm retracting the title of macden 'truther'. I'm still a stan. but this ep made me realize dennis is too coddled by the narrative #with TGGB he's constantly winning. even the game he doesn't stay to watch the end of. his body performing near miracles. wtf #the real reason I'm seriously bothered is the sunny dudebros. they already idolize dennis #this ep has only made it worse because the obvious point of Dennis' actual delusions will go right over their heads. #anybody with a grounded sense of reality can tell you that dennis did not solve a problem #he dreamt up a scenario in some kind of toxic meditation session. he's getting older. and his denial is metastasizing #Dennis' denial isn't sustainable. I'm kind of cutting off my investment in that regard. he's a fucking mess & he's currently being idolized #dennis reynolds #definitely not my favorite episode. not bc of lack of macden. a little bc Den needs limitations. mainly bc 'it was all a dream' is cheap #ranting.excuse me for wanting 1 of my fave characts actually have his poor health.self-destructive coping mechanism/trauma acknowledged #can't believe i was actually afraid i wouldn't be able to write because too much might happen in DTAMHD...! 🤣 #it should've all happened. but instead ended w/him getting charges pressed when he tried to break into ceo's home #ngl. this one hurt. I'm ready for Mac to give up on Dennis. i just wish this fucking show would let him. #excuse me while i go bawl like a baby watching MFHP. because I'm heartbroken that Dennis' BPD makes him push Mac away. #let's just say that realization has been bogging me down in my personal life the last couple of days. & this bummed me out. #Robert McElhenney. I'm outside the studio screaming at you to just let Mac move on & actually meet someone! #I'm not saying he deserves a relationship. but fuck... after 40 yrs of repression can he at least have a fling & fall out of love w/Den? #Dennis won't ever let him meet someone. & he'll never treat Mac like he actually cares about him.bc his own vulnerability terrifies him.😭

sdfawsdf with Xiyouji as the “original” and “official” text it actually is extremely funny that tons of more recent interpretations of Sun Wukong since then present him as a family friendly figure or a well-meaning goof & then you read that classic & see him running around like

#sun wukong #monkey king #xiyouji #journey to the west #jttw #now this must of course be put in the context of many of xiyouji's other powerful figures acting horribly #like the tang emperor apparently literally had 'countless' people killed & yet that's presented as a good thing #but still #it seems that this trickster monkey may very well hold the title for one of Chinese mythology's most violent figures #and of course i need to add the usual disclaimer that the Quitian Dasheng is a very complex figure #but right now we're focusing on his deliberately enacted monkey crimes #also here's a potential challenge #list the monkey king's action in xiyouji #that matches with the list above :)

everyone please Consider🩸

i don't feel like copying what i wrote, so take some screenshots of me having brainworms for the JDK villains again. primarily spurred by me going "hey wouldn't Nisha and Artemis and Apollo make cool rockstars instead"

#i really need to hurry up and finish organizing my writing blog so i can start posting these there instead #anyways i feel like this finally nails EXACTLY the kind of vibes that i wanted for the Acolytes and Solanace #and tbh.....even if i cant find a way to work JDK's original curse themed plot with these ideas #i feel like it would absolutely be worth changing the stories/motivations for the POV trio to fit this new set of ideas #kinda adds a lot more to the villains as a whole #and also sets it apart from a lot of my other stories that revolve around 'essentially a cult' as an opposing force #if i decide to be the most self indulgent that i possibly could be #i might even consider the idea of making it a story ABOUT Solanace and the acolytes in the POV sense #theyd still obviously be villains but the protags of the story instead of the antags #at which point jonas/lydia/hayes would have to be majorly reworked to then fit into the antagonist roles #could also theoretically work with the idea of jonas AND nisha being POVs #so the reader would be getting insight to the good guys and the villains at the same time #JDK(which STILL needs a better placeholder title) really is a story that ive had to majorly change multiple times #most of my stories i have the general idea + genre settled before anything else #but this one is more character driven #i have two groups of OCs ive thought about in depth and i just havent been able to build the story around them in the right way yet #i think once i can Actually get my brain focused long enough to draw #i wanna doodle more rockstar inspired designs/themes for nisha/artie/apollo #see if the idea continues to tickle the brainworms in such a great way + then have time to make polished refs b4 artfight #bc i really love my overdramatic artsy villains okay. i think they deserve to be extra as fuck ya know? #who doesnt love a villain whose primary goal is to put on a show and THEN to do the evil things?

I was gonna start this post with “…yeah I don’t know how many words this was before I started writing today” but actually docs was being weird and showed me an earlier version of the document when I first opened it so yeah I do actually know and I wrote 2600 words of one of my wips today.

now this long:

apologies though because it’s still not very fluffy

#still not done either i need to write a way more satisfying ending which will probably add like 100-200 words #and then i also need to go through and polish the entire fic lmao #will i get to 8k? maybe. would be pretty cool if i did :3 #also i HAVE TITLES FOR THIS FIC (yes plural it’s several chapters) AND THEY GO SO HARS #z talks

#i say i want no DQ bc i am cooking something in my head. ill call it fantasy booking but its basically wrestling fanfiction . #putting weapons in the mix adds drama these two matches in particular are so personal to all 4 of them they SHOULD #we can do both theres still room for regular singles matches on the card 😭😭 #if u want my thoughts. finn and jey should win respectively 😵‍💫 love seth dearly but finn taking the title is where my head is at #tbh im glad he didnt get it at MITB now gives the title time to be worth something #plus lets say seth were to be.... i dunno....... injured (in keyfabe) he can take that fucking break he needs 😭😭 same w roman #anyway. last wwe thoughts b4 i go full aew mode #ihope damien doesnt cash in too soon either. lets be 100 w ourselves he is most def gonna cash it in on finn regardless 😭 #and if he makes it a match rather than doing it in a match.... damian face turn ⁉️ possibly ⁉️⁉️ jugdement day implosion⁉️⁉️ hopefully ‼️‼️ #dom goes to nxt full time rhea can finally do something with her title and dam and finn feud ? or finn takes a short break too #i think he does a bunch of house shows too... think the superstars in general gotta talk to some1 abt those schedules theyre fucking crazy #wwe #that was alot. ok no more wwe talk
