fanfic writing retreat when?

#I'm still on my bullshit #a beautiful woodland cabin #or maybe next to the beach #in the mountains #wildlife stopping by to say hello #coffee pot on #selection of teas #inspirational rooms playing episodes and music #other fanfic writers and readers around to chat to and bounce off #evening cocktail selection #misha comes by regularly with healthy snacks #jensen shows up once or twice with a wink and a finger gun #david haydn jones is a regular #telling people dean x ketch is so untapped #he opens his own retreat instead #in fact #change of plan for this post #petition for creation cons to start inviting spn writers #and then hold writing events for fans #like director dick chat with rich #breaking hearts with bobo berens #abi nonsense

JACK THE GIANT KILLER

originally this was a kind of personal visual vibe test: I'm still turning some thoughts around about jack in my head (altho I have finished assembling the skeleton of a story and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens when I start to press at it) but I really liked how it turned out so I'm posting it as it's own illustration :)

the first post about this idea is over here, but I've fine tuned it down a bit so that the story begins with jack finding the body of a giant while he's out in the woods one day, and the story spirals out of hand before he can stop it.

it's been interesting to read up on jack tales from a literary analysis point of view while I figure this story out!! and through the power of more coffee, I think. I'm close to pinning down an underlying theme I'd really like to bite into. I just need to condense it down to a couple of sentences instead of several paragraphs.

and to close this post out, here's another excerpt from the j.g. ballard's the drowned giant that haunts me!

bsky ⭐ pixiv ⭐ pillowfort ⭐ cohost ⭐ cara ⭐ ko-fi

#i had a whole thing about why i dont link to my ko-fi on art posts but a friend said i should at least do it on original art #also cara seems to be promising as an art porfolio site? if you're looking to jump off of dA because it sucks ass. cara looks good so far! #OKAY moving on from that. in my head there is also a weird fucked up story about the drowned giant I would love #to turn into a short comic. maybe early next year? I think I need to go to a beach and do some studies because in my mind #it has a very specific visual and tone. hmmmmmm. #I had a very vivid dream abt it and I want to attempt to capture it down onto paper #and moving on from THAT. to the man himself. jack. ohhhhhh can you imagine if someone would’ve done a fucked up grim dark #Jack novel in 2013 or something. I would’ve eaten that like a cake. this isn’t an intentionally grim dark retelling although it is. grim. #original tag #generic medieval tag

Mutuals!!! Beasties!!!

We went to an antique mall today for my birthday and look at what I found!!

The whole top floor was full of vintage toys and dolls/Barbie’s, I wanted to buy everything 😭

#monster high #the tall ghoul on the counter wasn’t for sale I wanted her so bad 😭 #the one in box on the shelf was for sale but she was 250 bucks #I’m definitely going back there when I get paid they can take all my money #they also had an oddity room where I also wanted to buy everything 😭 #10/10 today was a good day #the lady who worked this part of the store is also autistic/has adhd #and she said one of her hyperfixations is Barbie and dolls #I swear this woman info dumped about dolls to this girl who was looking for 80s Barbie’s #for a good 30 minutes #I wanted to talk with her so bad I’ve never seen someone else info dump about dolls before I want to be her best friend 😭 #we’re going back there some time this week so maybe I’ll get to talk to her next time we go #if you live in Virginia this place is in VA beach!

Rayquaza, Liko, Amethio, eyes meeting.

#thinking about this again and the fact they highlighted the moments their eyes met and that rayquaza seemed to recognize them #i wonder if rayquaza will appear in the next eps because so far all of its appearances have been near the sea (ep 6 and ep 33) #and at different times of the day (during the day and then sunset so maybe next time will be at night?) #the group is near a beach right now (just like when rayquaza first came out of the ancient pokeball) #and the building at the end of ep 42 is definitely the explorers' so maybe? #i wonder if the explorers purposefully went there knowing rayquaza would be more likely to appear in such a place #also: the contrast between rayquaza flying away after seeing liko and attacking upon seeing amethio #liko #amethio #hz006 #hz033 #episode notes #character notes

folks on twitter are convinced izzy is going to die in the finale

dunno where I stand on that, as it wouldn't make narrative sense as far as I can tell, but people have pointed out a couple of shots in the trailer/bts footage where it looks like izzy's, at the very least, incapacitated, and then a later scene with a grave on the beach. the episode description says 'a devastating loss' which, yknow, isnt reassuring

that being said - I'm more confident that the Revenge is going to be destroyed somehow. the tagline for this season is 'prepare to have your ship wrecked' which is most likely a double entendre, referring not just to ed and stede but the literal ship too. this could also be the 'devastating loss' and what jenkins is referring to partly as 'the end of piracy' - and the circumstances around ed and stede leaving off the season living in that beach shack. the revenge is sacrificed/caught in the crossfire during the battle with the English, and works to symbolize Ed and Stede leaving that life behind.

could be both. who's to say. I'd hate to lose Izzy after he's worked so hard to break free from the confinement of pirate culture, and after the incredible performance Con has given us. the season opened with izzy dying in a dream; on the one hand, it would be cyclical to have him die in the end, but on the other hand, it would be more fitting for him not to, as stede was wrong in his dream to have izzy being the thing in the way of his and Ed's happiness, when the whole season showed us otherwise. on the other other hand, izzy's comment about finally understanding that ed and stede are good for each other might be foreshadowing to him sacrificing himself so they can escape the english, as a callback to when he sold them out in season 1. suppose we'll find out in a few days...

#ofmd #ofmd s2 spoilers #our flag means death #like i feel like im going back and forth with the different symbolisms #on the one hand we had the whole thing with him missing the shot to kill himself - thus giving him a new lease on life #which would make it silly to kill him for real #but then again maybe that itself was symbolic of him this whole season living off of borrowed time #giving him a chance to change and experience the other side but now we have to return to the real historic record #i went frame by frame thru the bts footage and. yeah. there's a funeral on the beach and izzy isnt there lmao #and it's right next to the beach house #so erm. it's not looking good

oh i'm gonna be so annoying about this album..... i even took notes while listening to this just now...

i relate to f/os inspiring me to do things!! sometimes when i am rotting in bed / can't do a task / etc i think "what would my f/o do" and im so inspired by how cool they are and how much i love them that it motivates me to make them proud <3 so i think i understand how you feel!

Ohhh!!!! I’m so glad I’m not the only one. My fellow comrade in arms 🤝

#anonymous #asks #that is interesting how we are motivated by F/Os even in different ways #yours are proud of you!!! always!!! 🥰🥰🥰 #with my F/Os I don’t feel motivated unless if I picture them saying ‘ok let’s go. i am doing this with you’ #like I have to imagine them being present whether it’s a voice in my head or pretending they’re standing next to me just for a minute #while doing The Tasks #but huh! I’ve never thought ‘if I do this then Ken will be proud of me’ #maybe I can try that too #normally I have to picture Ken actively telling me to get up. and I’d think WELL I should get up then. cannot disappoint the beach BF

Bleach Beach 🏹💀🏖

#lives rent free in my head #something something bleach at the beach #had to do the quincy star twice cuz an asshole stepped on it while I went for my phone #anyway it was this or ambassador seaweed #but I am not so fond of it and what else is a symbol of bleach #even better that is tybw ichiishi #next time maybe I'll sand sculpt Silbern #or make more seashell art #a guy took pic of the bleach one

rip to you for the COVID hope you feel better soon! and I hope you have fun playing the Sims! ฅ⁠^⁠•⁠ﻌ⁠•⁠^⁠ฅ🌻🪻🌸💜

Thank you so much that's very sweet!! I was so pissed off about it. I went FOUR YEARS without getting COVID and I was finally hit by the dodgeball like TEN DAYS before my trip. But I'm up to date on my vaccines and I felt mostly fine. Vaccines lose their efficacy after 6 months, my recent vaccine saved my ass, please check to see when your latest vaccine was.

Unfortunately I continued to be dead (Sims, writing obsessively again, preparing for my trip) and I will continue to be dead (I am going to be in Hawai'i for a week). I need to tweak some things about the chapter so I'm going to wait until I have time to do so before I post it. I try not to be on my computer a lot during my vacations, so it might take a minute.

Since I graduated college, I pretty much have a habit of feeling an insane need to flee once every three or four months, and I call up a friend who lives Wherever and take a trip to hang out with them (internet friends, 80% of the time - love you guys!). But I guess my Big Move six months ago satisfied my need for novelty, because I've only travelled once since then to visit my mother on Thanksgiving. Objectively feels weird to only take one trip in six months, so I'm happy that I'm taking two this month. Hawai'i is going to be extremely good because I have not Seen A Tree In The Wild for six months (it's either city trees or...corn......there's no fulfillment in corn....) and it's probably doing weird things to my psyche.

What the fuck do you do during a ten hour plane flight? Hopefully the Sims? What happens? Insane.

#meg? sharing personal details? it's more likely than you think [my fight is at 6:40am so i just didn't go to bed] #my asks #i haven't travelled with another person since i was like 8 so travelling is always very much 'hm i want to go insane' #and then booking a plane ticket. #to give a better idea of my bizarre psychology: #i travelled cross country to california and i stood on the pacific ocean beach and went #“hm. not far enough. hawaii next.” #maybe a good thing i didn't get into that graduate school because i probably would have faked my death and taken on a new identity #i didn't stand on the beach in rhode island and go 'hm not far enough. next stop: france' which says a lot about my derison for europe #also the fact that i don't know any french people. #if you live in france and want to hang out with me next time i go insane hit me up i guess

Ended up calling 988 last night. Talked with them for half an hour and it kind of helped, but only temporarily.

I’m still kicking, but barely. I know I need to take my medication but I don’t care enough to. It’s just not worth the effort, even though it’s within arms reach.

I missed a meeting with my manager at work. Today is one of the few days I need to be in person and I’m not there because I just…. Can’t make myself move.

I want to call someone and just have them talk to me because I don’t think I can speak. I want someone to force me to take my meds and go sit outside for a moment so that I can get the fresh air and stop rotting in my bed. Maybe that would be enough to force me to get dressed and go to work. Maybe it would heal me, just a little bit.

But I don’t have anyone I can call. My sister is in class. My mom is at work and I know she’d start watching me more closely again. My grandma has already probably noticed that my location hasn’t changed, but it would just be easier to lie to her and say I worked from home today than deal with the lecture. I haven’t actually talked to any of my friends, irl or online, in ages, either. Not in the way friends should, because I’m too self-absorbed to check in with the people I love.

I’m sorry y’all have to keep seeing me post about my bullshit. I know it’s selfish, especially when I haven’t reached out to anyone one-on-one in so long. I haven’t even made anything since inktober ended, so I can’t even offer something vaguely worthwhile.

I know people care, logically. But emotionally it feels like no one does. And I’d deserve it if no one did. I’ve been a leech for years. Even before the depression, I was too busy to be a good friend. I’ve been selfish for years. I think the only time I was worth something was back when I was in early elementary school. At least back then I was happy and energetic and earnest and kind.

I don’t know where that version of Macey went. I wish y’all had gotten to meet her, because she’s the version of me y’all actually deserve. Not this absolute wreck I’ve become.

#m rambles #tw suicidal thoughts #long post #my therapy appointment is next week #I just need to make it that long #but I don’t know if it’s worth it #I have so much to live for #but I don’t feel like I deserve it #I want to live to cuddle with my pets at home #I want to see good omens season 3 #I want to go to the beach with my family and soak up the sun #I want to float in a pool and just feel the water against my skin #I want to see my sister grow up and get married and become the amazing woman I know she’ll be #but I don’t want any of it bad enough #and I know that my family would be devastated if I were to go #but I can’t make myself understand that emotionally #and lately it’s felt like it would be better that they have to go through that pain #than have to continue dealing with me #I don’t know #maybe if I write about Simon or Crowley having these same thoughts I’ll get the response I need #all I’m good for is making shitty fanfic and fanart anyway
