honestly pretty fun for spill zone to create a hell zone and be like ‘this is Art. it’s magic and it’s dangerous and it’s real and it changes you forever.’ And then also be like ‘ALSO it’s Radioactive and Illegal’ because like right on both counts I guess.

the other fun trick with it is that it never ACTUALLY explains anything for real. Yeah that’s the Laundry Twister it’s just like that. This is The Wolf King. This is The Guy That Eats You. These are the Flesh Husks That Scream.

like fun tension between ‘rich people will pay to view other people’s pain’ and ‘art is for Thinking about and it changes you forever’ and ‘hey what if a creepy doll’

#spill zone #losing my mind. over images and mediocre comics #Witch hat is good! sometimes I just have to be insane about other things #What’s funny to me is that this guy had a lot of books and it’s ONLY the weird horror one I ever liked #Uglies? MEH. zeroes? never even finished the first one. Horror comic? 👀 👀#The two books that are MOST insane about photography to me are spill zone and a summer to die NEITHER of which are even ABOUT film photogra

Are you burning up?

Did you catch a fever?

The flicker in your eyes,

The warmth of your embrace

Tells me you know you are a fire.

But you radiate heat so gently

As if you're afraid to cause a burn

You've already set match to my heart,

I'm already on fire for you, girl.

martha wayne appreciating art and architecture. martha growing up being absolutely in love with the statue of justice that sat just across the bay. martha loving the ballet and symphony and sculptures and mosaics and murals and portraits. martha commissioning statue after statue to be erected in her beloved city, dotting the sidewalks and building faces. martha commissioning one around bruce's first birthday simply and sweetly named 'to my little one'.

bruce, as an adult, as the bat, as gotham's knight and her vengeance, going out on patrol night after night and seeing all the statues martha commissioned throughout her life. bruce going through their park, the one they used to take walks in every evening, and seeing the love his mother held for him immortalized in stone. gotham itself being martha's mausoleum and a memorial to their connection.

#i feel a lot about martha wayne #i really love how they characterized her in batman 2022 with her being an arkham #someone who grew up as a piece of gotham and who fell completely in love with someone else as connected to it as she was #(speaking of which it was absolutely her uncle or grandma who commissioned the statue of justice. it's So arkham.)#she has such morticia addams vibes to me too #dark and bright and in love with life and art #and she had the funds to make that love spill into the world around her #and now bruce witnesses that love every single night #he sits amongst her gargoyles and smiling children and abstract nuclear zone esque spikes #and he can see and touch the ghost of love that she left behind #bruce wayne #batman #batman 2022 #martha arkham #martha wayne #batfam

Salem’s 20 Follower Event

Thank you, lovely people, for 20 (more like 22 at time of posting lol!) followers! As a token of gratitude, I am opening fic requests for the various fandoms I am a part of. This is for anyone and everyone—follower or not! (Though following is also appreciated!) All requests are to be sent via ask box, please and thank you!

The FAQ/rules are listed below.

What can I request? I accept requests for any sort of fic, including but not limited to: reader insert, canon characters, anything involving my OCs or the OCs of my lovely mutuals should they desire it, etc!

How long can requested fics be? Length can be one of two: short (≤500 words) or long (501+ words). I have no preference between the two, so it is up to you! Please specify when you request.

What fandoms are up for request? Any fandom I have posted for is up for grabs. The most notable fandoms include Danganronpa, Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, Over the Garden Wall, Fullmetal Alchemist, Undertale/Deltarune, Portal / Portal 2, The Adventure Zone, The Owl House, The Last of Us, The Dark Crystal, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and InuYasha. This does not exclude anything not listed here, so get creative!

What are your boundaries? I have little boundaries, but they are significant! Please do not request anything involving serious gore, smut, pedophilia, incest, or anything close to those categories. If I deem your request outside of my boundaries, I will either a) respond privately to alert you and request an alternative if desired or b) delete it if it is on anon (as I believe I cannot respond privately if you are on anon).

Where can I get an idea of your writing? If you want to see how I write for consideration purposes, you can find my writing masterlist on the pinned About Me post. (JSYK: my original work fics are on AO3 Member Only right now to support the writers’ guild strike. If you want to see them, you will need to log in. Thank you for understanding!)

Requests will be open for—tentatively—a week (closing approximately August 4th), then I will be closing the ask box to work on them in the order they are sent. So get that ask in there before it’s too late!

Oh, and I plan on publishing each request on AO3 in a designated series, just so you're aware! :D

Thank you guys again for your support, and I can’t wait to see what you think up!

- Salem (thebusytypewriter)

2023 Reading Wrap Up: Favorites from the First Half

Not to sound like a broken record, but I can't believe we're already halfway through the year! (and even further, given how late I'm posting this lol). I've read an ungodly amount of books already, and while I try my best to shout out my favorites as I go or in my monthly wrap-ups, I don't always succeed. So Here I Am, to do a little more shouting about the 10 most memorable books or series I've read so far in 2023!

The God of Endings by Jaqueline Holland

The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez

Sword Stone Table ed by Jenn Northington & Swapna Krishna

Sea Hearts (The Brides of Rollrock Island) by Margo Lanagan

Spill Zone by Scott Westerfeld & Alex Puvilland

Will Darling/Lilywhite Boys by K.J. Charles

Lord Peter Wimsey by Dorothy L Sayers

The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green

84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff

Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David Epstein

More discussion below the cut!

The God of Endings by Jaqueline Holland had me entirely engrossed. It's slow and moving and dark, with it's own take on vampirism, with any number of the associated content warnings. All the content warnings actually (but harm to animals, harm to children, and domestic abuse are some of the big ones. Does the Nazi murder make up for it?). Best described as The Historian meets everything I wanted from The Invisible Life of Addie Larue but didn't get.

The Spear Cuts Through Water by Simon Jimenez I have, in fact, already yelled about a bit. It was so good! Think A:TLA meets The Raven Tower and The Hundred Thousand Kindgoms, and queer! The thing that really blew my mind was the second-person narration, which is always a swing, and I think this nailed it! I loved how it worked with the story and frame narrative, and let me tell you, on audiobook parts of the story felt positively haunted. I won't say it's the perfect novel (I'm a little eh about the last third), but that in no way dampens my enthusiasm. cw for ritual cannibalism.

Sword Stone Table ed by Jenn Northington & Swapna Krishna is an anthology of Arthurian re-imaginings with about a 1-in-3 success rate (for me anyways. is that good for an anthology?) that snuck onto this list purely on the strength of Mayday by Maria Dahvana Headley. I just yelled about my love for unusual narrative structures, so when I tell you that this is a retelling of the Arthurian family drama set in late 19th century America, told only through found objects, newspaper clippings, and manuscript exerpts? I had *such* a great time trying to puzzle things out with my half-remembered memories of the lore (heavily corrupted by the show Merlin, lol). Additional shout-out to Spear by Nicola Griffith, which didn't make it into the collection due to length but was also amazing!

Sea Hearts (aka The Brides of Rollrock Island) by Margo Lanagan was an absolute surprise, for several reasons. For one, I own both a physical and digital copy under different titles and didn't realize it until I was cleaning up my goodreads account! And second, the Brides cover is an absolute travesty and is entirely the wrong vibe - this may be YA (technically?) but it doesn't read like it! Sea Hearts is the story of a small island community with a history of summoning wives from the sea, a tradition only whispered about until an outcast young woman revives the practices to sow discord and revenge among the community members we follow. Incredibly moving and sorrowful, this is for fans of literary, historical, and speculative fiction.

Spill Zone by Scott Westerfeld & Alex Puvilland. This graphic novel is about a city hit by an unknown disaster that has killed or mutated everything and everyone who wasn't able to evacuate in time. Our main character sneaks back in to take pictures to support herself and her little sister, and while I have some reservations about the larger plot, the art of the Zone is GORGEOUS. Sketchy, eerie, hauntingly beautiful, I loved it, enough that I have no regrets. I could see this making a great comic series or animated show instead.

Major, heartfelt shout-out to K.J. Charles, who absolutely saved my sanity for a few months there. My brain was in a weird spot for a few months and I burned through a good chunk of her backlist, so it's absolutely necessary to name drop a few of my favorites. The Will Darling series, a 1920's spy adventure/gay romance, did not immediately win me over, but exposure makes the heart grow fonder? I don't think they say that, actually, but I love a competent dumbass, and when I finally picked up on the crossover with Charles' England duo, I absolutely cackled. I can't wait to reread these! Any Old Diamonds of the Lilywhite Boys series did catch me immediately, even if I managed to read it out of order with one of it's prequel series. Jewel thieves, a heist, revenge, family drama, what's not to love? I loved every single book and novella in this series.

Lord Peter Wimsey (series) by Dorothy L Sayers. This has been a work in progress since 2022 and has consistently made my favorites lists, but truly, she saved the best for last! Murder Must Advertise was stellar, but everyone who said the Harriet Vane novels were the best is absolutely correct. I don't know why I love them, other than that they're wonderfully complex mysteries, but I do. I definitely need to find another long mystery series for my mental health or else I'm going to start these from the beginning again (I still need to read the short stories after all).

The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green. I'll be honest, I didn't write a review for this at the time, and my memory for non-fiction is terrible. But I loved this book, I love John Green, and this was fantastic on audio. Thank you John for putting hope and goodness and beauty into the world.

84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff was a beautiful little book for the book lover. It's a collection of letters between the American author and a used-book seller (and family and associates) in London in the 50s and 60s. Its funny, it's friendly, it's lovely, but there's also an underlying tension that builds throughout from the repeated invitations to the author to come visit, and the book copy saying that THEY NEVER MEET. It about killed me, and did make me cry. For further reading you can also check out the author's related memoirs, The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street and Q's Legacy.

Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David Epstein. Frankly, I'm impressed by my nonfiction choices so far this year. This one is what it says and it HURT. SO. MUCH. I am absolutely a generalist and it's made life frustrating, so reading this was both extremely comforting but also enraging, because society doesn't need another reason to suck. Alas.

Can't help but think if Donnie ended up under Big Mama's care, he would truly live up the mad scientist trope.

He is a genius and she needs new meet for her Battle Nexus.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt donnie #rise donnie #rottmnt big mama #donnie moving weirdly #dissecting bodies #not caring for messiness while he is in the zone #but also hating how dirty his lab gets and how he randomly ews at the blood he spilled xD #he loves digging in bodies and machines #and combining it all with mystics #to have something new and fun to destroy on the arena and eventually be destroyed #everything is replacable #and he works hard and takes joy in staying irreplacable #quirky evil genius >:3c
