#just got an email from my advisor #telling me that I got a summer fellowship I applied for #from one of the british studies centre that runs out of our university #so it’s official! i’m spending half the summer in london (and hopefully also the south of france for a week)! #doing research and working on the second year project that’s going to be a test case for my dissertation #this is amazing #not only the travel but having named fellowships and successful grant writing on my CV is a big deal #now I just have to wait until Wednesday #to see if the jewish studies center will accept my grant proposal for a month of intensive Portuguese at the University of Lisbon (and work #in the state archives there) #the best part of this #is that #(if I also get approved for that) #I’ll be able to fly to Taiwan for the two weeks in between the end of my research stay in London and the start of my course in Lisbon #and see my best friend in person for the first time in 2 years #I’m dying to know for sure so I can tell her #me stuff #not the stones #ngl I’m also just excited to be in London again #my little LSE alumna heart hates being gone for too long

WIP... Oh shit, its actually Wednesday??

Tagged by @wrathfulrook @clicheantagonist @marivenah @cassietrn @the-silver-chronicles @socially-awkward-skeleton @direwombat and I thiiiiink that's it... sorry if you've tagged me & you're not on here, its been a hot minute since I've posted a wip wednesday & my memory is basically Swiss cheese

Tagging anyone who wants to self indulgently share a WIP! Feel free to tag me, I love to read new stuff :)

**Also terribly sorry in advance cause this turned out to be a bit longer than I thought it would be**

WIP 1: OG Verse - fun times with Celeste & Gabriel

He has to resist the urge to throttle her, lest he ruin the inside of his house filled with years of carefully handpicked items, ones he held a certain fondness for. "You ruined my life, Celeste. Or do you not recall?” "Your life?" She tilts her head in mock curiosity. "What life? The one where you were sent anywhere they told you to go, like some mongrel with a barely slackened leash?" “Excuse me?" “We can pretend otherwise. Keep up the illusion that your life was marvelous, picture perfect even. But we both know the truth, don't we?" She takes a step closer. “You were nothing but the High Council’s defanged pup. Cluelessly doing their bidding before I freed you. If anything, you should be thanking me." "Thanking you?" He clenches and unclenches his fist in an attempt to suppress his anger. "Hate me if you must, fight me even, but do it later. Right now we must get out of here. If they do not know where I am yet, they soon will. What do you think will happen once they realize one of their precious dhamphirs has been under their nose this whole time?"

Celeste truly is the nicest individual you'll ever meet :))

Including this little snippet from Gabriel's pov as well cause idk, I just really like it

Unbidden worry strikes him. He listens, waits, and when his ears pick up the sound of soft, even breathing he lets out a breath of his own. Celeste and the baby were still there, unharmed, perhaps even sleeping. It brings an odd sense of comfort, reminiscent of times long forgotten, times he didn’t want to remember. If he did, he’d have to remember what brought them to a halt in the first place and he had a job to do. Grief and old wounds had no place here, at least not at the moment. Kicking his boots off, he treks into the bathroom and gently closes the door behind him. It’s a simple design: Shower to his left, toilet to his right, and a sink with a mirror above it directly across from the door. Leaning against the sink, he ruffles his short, black hair that's shaved on the sides and traces his fingers over an old, faded scar. It runs down almost the whole length of his face, going over his left eye and stopping just shy of the corner of his mouth. Overlapping it is another, only this one goes across his face horizontally, over the bridge of his nose and from cheek to cheek. The only thing that remains of the old Gabriel are his blue eyes, once full of life and mischief, now faded and dull. Turning away from his visage, he heads toward the shower and turns it on, stripping down while he waits for the water to heat up. He doesn’t need a mirror to see the multitude of scars and tattoos that adorn his body. Aching for another drink—if only to dull his senses and lingering memories once more—he curbs the yearning and steps beneath the water.

WIP 2: They Watch From The Pews

Willa squirms, trying to dodge cold fingers that reach out to trace over the letters, caressing them with a sadistic fascination that makes her stomach curdle in disgust. Disgust quickly transforms into a desperation to get away once he finally reveals the knife kept hidden behind his back. “Usually I’d peel the sin off but… I think this will suit you much better, don't you?" Pressing the tip of his blade into her skin, he teasingly drags it across her skin. "Tell me, Deputy, how did you feel when you got the news of Samuel's death?" "Chipper." She spitefully answers with a sneer. John heaves a dramatic sigh and presses the blade down harder, prompting tiny beads of blood to bubble up as he traces over the letters of her tattoo. "You can make this easier for yourself, you know." "I've heard that before. Got me a bullet to the leg." "Because you ran. My men only acted accordingly." "Fuck you and your men, pussy." "My, what a mouth on you." He tuts and makes a deeper cut. Her teeth sink into the leather in her mouth, denying him the satisfaction of hearing her make a noise. Without pause, he moves onto the second letter, brows scrunched up in concentration as he goes over the lines again and again. It isn’t until he’s on the last letter that she finally breaks with a muffled groan. He stops, lifting his eyes from his work. “Comfortable?”

John & Willa are bonding so well. Truly, I think they're starting to get along!

#random personal stuff #Struggle Wednesday: Trapped at the Reference Desk Edition #featuring! sluggish computer that refuses to load anything because the coworker who previously used it thinks you log out by restarting #AND phone call from a student wanting us to magically solve a database error that I never heard of until just now #AND all my colleagues who might know about this have dropped off the face of the earth #it's fine I will be fine #but why do people with questions I can't answer wait until the 1 o'clock hour to pester us #and maybe I need to corner coworkers before they leave and ask what today's crisis is and how to address #because I am not IT I do not work with the databases I just interlibrary loan the books #and I would not be stuck at this desk if it were not for a rude student last semester antagonizing my boss at closing time #(long story how it all connects but that's where the change in scheduling started) #anyway I wish that student a very pleasant become a better person who is actually considerate of others

1000 Followers Update!

Due to some super fun chronic health shenanigans, the posting for the 1000 Followers Celebration is being postponed a month! Posting will start on 2/2 with to all the ghost still standing in this room, and continue as previously planned from there. Thank you guys for bearing with me-- I struggled with the idea of even postponing for a week, but it became very clear on Monday that I would not be able to catch up with the schedule unless I took an extended break to recover. Can't wait to show you guys what I've got up my sleeve!

#1000 followers #i don't talk much about my illness struggles on here because without a word count limit #i would absolutely write myself into a terrible spiral talking about some of the very recent setbacks #but I do weekly goals up on twitter and I often talk about what's going on there #so it's only fair that i explain a bit in some tag chatter where i have to stay on task #to start: i'm fine and I'm going to be quick to recover now that i've gotten my meds #but due to all sorts of insurance bullshittery that has occurred since september/october #my last three infusions have been over a week late. two of them have been nearly two weeks or over #and coupled with a particularly nasty stomach bug + christmas stress #i ended up with extremely bad exhaustion and brain fog #and on monday finally flared #thankfully i was able to move my infusion up a day so I only had to wait until wednesday #and me and my husband had planned that I would be out of commission for the 10 days my meds were overdue #so I just had to triage my commitments and lay low until they could get me what i needed #it's been two days and i'm doing much much better. back to a place where I can actually write #probably at a better place than i have been since the beginning of December since today I nearly blew through 1K without even trying #but it's been 2-3 weeks of barely being able to scratch out what i consider my minimum #and then a week and change of not being able to even READ without it overwhelming me #so i finally had to face the music of: not only can I NOT do this on time but I need fully shift it #so that I can work without stressing myself or my limits #i am a rat gnawing at the bars of my little rat cage over it but it is what it is #tldr; i'm here i'm fine i just have to accept my human limitations and i don't like it

I had to work insane OT this week and good god, there is not a creative bone in my body right now

#currently #however I will be getting comp time or time and a half bc I am union so that’s something #my book will just have to wait #on Wednesday I worked until 9:35 pm and then went right to bed bc I was too tired to read Baru Cormorant #and now my library loan has expired 🥲 #it is just really interesting it’s almost like hellish capitalist work systems kill the potential for creativity and art

[tacitusauxilium]

Sorry for the radio silence for like a month or so.

I’ve been trying to catch up with my reading since I went crazy with buying physical books and I got hyper focused on that. And then I forgot about the 15 or so drafts in the drafts. Lol

I’m going to attempt to get to replies this week. Been also busy running my crew since my lead was off all week so energy was nonexistent anyway. But I’m gonna try my best today!

#ooc #Kiki speaks #mobile post #((I usually wait until I get a couple of replies and then get to them #and now I’ve got a lot and just overwhelmed lol #I’m gonna try this week to get to some and put them on a queue #motivation is nowhere to be seen and it’s been happening a lot #little one knows when I’m out of the house and looses his mind and won’t nap if I’m out trying to enjoy myself. #he has a sixth sense for me and I hate it. I can’t go out and see people or be myself #I hate venting but this is the only place I can do it safely with out my mom or husband seeing and getting on me for feeling frustrated #husband gets a therapist and I can’t. unavailable on Sunday—husband sees her Mondays (my day off)—Wednesday I have to watch my kid #so I don’t get the freedom that others in the house get #I’m suffocating and losing my mind and wanna work 6 outta 7 days now because of this. #I don’t feel better anyway after venting. sorry for clogging the tags) #/venting over

[willosword]

oh boy. Nervous o_o

#i have a big interview on wednesday and it's eating me up inside a little bit #but i promised myself to NOT start prepping and overthinking it until tuesday (tomorrow) #because goddamn i spend so much time being disproportionately worried about things for no reason and it's just a waste #so i'm glad i was able to hold off for so long this time #but still. WOWIE i can't wait until 2 days from now when it'll be done and over with #willow whispers

AH’s minecraft series is ten years old today

#i was studying for my calc exam when the realization hit me #happy birthday but also #what the fuck man #i've been watching for about eight of those years #most definitely before episode 100 aired #and even back then i was like #''aw man i have so much to catch up with'' #it was worth it though #i hope they do something special to celebrate #but i also would understand if they don't want to #since they've forced themselves to play the game every single week until recently #for now i'll just cherish the memories and get excited for newer stuff and all that #feeling sentimental on this tuesday morning lads #i'm not gonna queue this lol #wait it's wednesday #time isn't real

You know, after thinking about things that have happened to me for the past-at least 5 years- my life is actually worse that a Kdrama female leads’.

#random #my life sucks 2022 colorized #I know kdramas are usually made up but who else on the planet suffers like I have? #nobody right? #my sister still has her job because they all like her #my brother doesn’t work and is supposedly depressed but it’s ok if he has his license before me? #my mom can’t work or drive now because some stupid doctor that wasn’t even her doctor decides mom needs her license revoked #I’ve been after my mom for 6 years to let me drive and every time I get told another excuse #like she literally told me over a year ago (maybe longer) #that she’ll kick me out if I get my permit #because that’s one step closer to living on my own #which she knows I can’t do because of personal reasons #I applied for a dumb job with more stupid fruit and I still haven’t heard back on if the time and date for the interview work with them #just call or send me an email with a yes or no already #or do they want to wait until I show up on Wednesday at 10 something and make fun of me because I don’t have an interview at all

[frogeyedape]

Holy fucking shit sending a wire to close on a property is intense

#made worse by: me-is x the final amount? y-i'm out of town ask b. b-*crickets* #i did eventually call b and b's receptionist(?) said b is working on the final closing disclosure #so like good to know *crickets* had *doing the work needed to get a definite answer* behind it even if it didn't put me at ease up front #so now #i wait #in front of the bank #until i have the final number #and the cd to show my bank so they know I'm not just sending a ridiculously large sum of money for no good reason #also b/c they require it XD #getting VERY EXCITED AND NERVOUS as closing day approaches AGAIN and it starts to actually feel real #my closing date got moved back by two days on the day before the og closing date XD #so my wednesday is monday repeated but i get to actually send the money today

why didn’t i think to ask if “we can only unlock and lock the car but we can’t start it” meant that they could give me a new key fob and i’d just have to use a separate key unattached to the fob to start my car until after i ended the call

#Ravage.txt #dl #now i need to wait for my parents to come back so i can make dad call the place and ask for me 🧍‍♂️ #stupid dealership deciding to just give me an ‘intermittently working’ key fob IT HASNT WORKED ONCE!!! NOT EVEN ONCE!!!!! SINCE I PICKED HIM #UP ON FRIDAY. like THE FUCK GUYS YOU TOLD ME YOUD REPLACE IT #they said they’d take the charge for the replacement since they were supposed to give me a working fob but their usual place doesn’t open #until tomorrow around 9 and quite frankly i’m fucking pissed that if i want to go to the store for peanut nemnems i have to manually lock #and unlock my car and suffer the embarrassment of the alarm going off every. single. time. i unlock it. #I WANT MY NEMENMS (M&MS)!!!! and i want PANCAKES but i can’t have SHIT because of social ANXIETY #im so mad i’m sooo mad bc my guy was supposed to text me yesterday morning or call and tell me when the key people could get me in. well #guess fucking what he didn’t do that until after noon when ***i*** texted HIM first (i said i wasn’t available after noon bc of class #earlier but when i woke up it had been canceled but i didn’t tell them that) and he was basically like ‘oh sorry yeah they couldn’t do it #today do you have time tomorrow?’ so i said yes and then he said ‘oh sorry they’re closed tomorrow do you have time on wednesday?’ #do you see. do you see why i want to go apeshit. do you see why i’m trying to find local places that replace key fobs. #im not calling ace back until dad gets back though nuh uh that’s his job now #genuinely annoyed with the dealership rn. oh it stinks of cigarettes to the point where your eyes water and you’re trying to not cough? #we’ll do a smell treatment now then instead of when we first got the car which allowed you to use it as bargaining leverage. oh your key fob #doesn’t work? we’ll say it works ‘intermittently’ on friday and not replace it until wednesday at the soonest. oh your gas cap has a lock on #it? we never bothered to check that in our safety inspection so you’ll have to remove it yourself and buy a new one and we’ll cover that #expense. #im so done with them dude im so glad my parents aren’t buying another car from them #they were a lot better than the kia guys we went to why had a whole ton of bullshit fees that literally raised the price of a soul to double #but they’re only MARGINALLY better. really hope ace CAN actually replace the fob they just technically can’t give me a manual key (i have a #spare anyway that isn’t attached to the current fob)

ordered skyward sword for the switch bc eventually I'll try breath of the wild/tears of the kingdom and also I don't think I'll ever finish it if I'm confined to the wii and I want so badly to finish it myself

#zelda gameplay gets me on board. hell yeah finally #not. immediately. not until i can buy it used for significantly less than $70 #but botw has always felt too big for me to try but if i wanna play tears of the kingdom i have to make sure botw is playable for me lol #if the scope of a game is Too Big i usually don't stick with it bc i just can't remember enough consistently #and following walkthroughs w games that size is a bit. tedious w how often i have to check them #but im waiting to seriously think abt botw until after I've finished skyward sword anyway #so. now i need it to be wednesday

Don't Make Me Say It Again. (x.t)

Pairing: Xavier Thorpe x Fem!Addams!Reader

Summary: blurb! xavier is close to snapping when you don't realize what he has been hinting.

Warnings: mutual pining, fluff

a/n: okay, another one before i go torture myself in actually reading my textbook that i haven't picked up in weeks.

masterlist

“Shouldn’t you be with your sister?” Xavier questioned as you tied on your apron.

“No, she wanted to work at pilgrim world for some odd reason. I would rather die than dress up as a colonist,” you informed the boy.

“That doesn’t surprise me.”

“Hey, Y/N! Need a hand?” Tyler called out from behind the counter as you and Xavier cleaned the tables.

“Already got one,” you replied back pointing to Thing wiping the table.

“I thought I told you and your sister that he was bad news,” Xavier whispered to you as he reached over to grab a mug on your side of the table.

“Twice actually, but I couldn’t care less about him. Wait. Enlighten me,” you turned to face him.

That was when you noticed how close you two actually were. Though you were standing around a foot away from each other, it was concerning how he seemed to step closer to talk.

“It happened last Outreach Day. I was working on a mural for the town then he and his friends come up and start attacking me. They destroyed the mural and left me with bruised ribs. People like him don’t like people like us,” he explained.

“Hm.”

“It’s not like you would care anyways, right?” Xavier scoffed walking off to the next table.

“It seems like he’s changed, quiter softer now, which is disappointing,” you admitted as you followed Xavier. “Why do you care so much if I talk to him though?”

“You’re kidding.”

“Why would I kid?” you blanked.

“Open your eyes, Y/N! I have been here on your side this entire time, and you still don’t get it?” Xavier snapped banging the table with the tub full of plates and mugs taking a step closer to you. “Sometimes it’s unbelievable how little empathy you have for others.”

“Xavier,” you breathed out taking a step back.

“I like you, Y/n. What do I have to do for you to see that?” he followed in taking a step closer.

“You know I don’t actually like Tyler, right? You might be an imbecile and infuriating but-” you hinted.

“Really know how to make a guy blush,” he let out a small laugh.

“It’s the attributes I like about you though,” you muttered under your breath.

“What was that?” he mocked.

“Don’t make me say it again,” you deadpanned looking down on the floor avoiding his gaze.

“No, I don’t think I heard you the first time,” he joked he lifted your chin with his hand. “What did you say?”

“I’m not saying it again.”

“You gonna let me kiss you?”

“Depends,” you answered.

He moved his hand from your chin to the back of your neck pulling you into a kiss. You found yourself kissing him back wrapping your arms around his neck. You could feel him smile into the kiss. You didn’t kow how long you to stayed there for until you heard a cough behind you.

“Seems like you’ve had fun working,” Wednesday said unimpressed as she pulled you away from Xavier. In which he just laughed as you tried to get your arm out of Wednesday’s grip.

"Wednesday, why do you always have to grab the same arm," you whined as she dragged you out.
