Diana’s untrained magic makes the snake on Mary's shoes spring to life.  

Matthew is quick to cover it up with a smile - the pesky snake must have come in from the garden. Sure Matthew - no-one is buying that one.

5, 17, 19 and 30 for the AO3 Wrapped <3

Hello!! Thank you so much for the asks! Hope these answer your questions well enough <3 5. What work of yours got more feedback than you expected? Of All My Crimes. I mean, it doesn’t have a ton, but it’s a gen fic/pre-slash between Derek Hale and Allison Argent centered after they just burn Kate Hale to death in a house. It’s a fairly dark story in a very niche relationship, so I was expecting nothing. I was thrilled that those who read it did in fact enjoy it! I will say, I loved writing it (and it also has my favorite chapter titles of any of my fics except conflicts of interest)

17. My favorite character to write this year?

GOSH THAT’s SO HARD. not going to lie, though, and I’m CERTAIN there’s some recency bias here, but I think it has to be Mickey Milkovich. He’s a very complex character. He’s extremely brusque and rough and especially early seasons terrified as being seen as anything other than brutal. But he loves. He loves very much.(and there's a glimmer of this in his relationship with Mandy). And very caring and carefully. I like that he’s good with kids (which makes his fear of being a bad dad so sad because he is good with the young Gallagher kids!). He’s somewhat a tragic character until he essentially decides, fuck this, I’m not going to be this tragedy anymore. It’s really empowering, actually. And then, selfishly, I used to write very punchy and aggressive and vulgar poetry, actually, so his POV makes me feel like I can call back on that to write.

One pairing I’d like to explore next year?

I’d like to explore Gally and Teresa from The Maze Runner more. I’m working on a long fic with them and I really really enjoy their dynamic.

30. My biggest surprise while writing?

I mean, it’s the fact that I wrote almost 50,000 words in a month just because I got so into writing for Shameless. I couldn’t STOP writing for that little bit there. It’s slowed down (as all things must) but that was surprising.

Thank you so so much for your asks! These questions were fun!! All questions are from AO3 wrapped [writer’s edition]

As a young double agent infiltrating the Soviet spy network in Nazi-occupied Paris, Andrew Hale finds himself caught up in a secret, even more ruthless war. Two decades later, in 1963, he will be forced to confront again the nightmare that has haunted his adult life: a lethal unfinished operation code-named Declare.

From the corridors of Whitehall to the Arabian desert, from postwar Berlin to the streets of Cold War Moscow, Hale's desperate quest draws him into international politics and gritty espionage tradecraft—and inexorably drives Hale, the fiery and beautiful Communist agent Elena Teresa Ceniza-Bendiga, and Kim Philby, mysterious traitor to the British cause, to a deadly confrontation on the high glaciers of Mount Ararat, in the very shadow of the fabulous and perilous Ark.

#Dean Koontz calls it ‘‘a brilliant blend of John le Carré spy fiction with the otherworldly’’ #that’s my jam right there #red #Joseph Pearce also complimented it #tim powers #book covers

Stiles or thomas? || Stiles/Thomas harem

Read it on AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/45221029

by Eveylynwasnotfound

It's been a year since stiles has returned from being missing, and 2 years since he's gone missing. He refuses to answer anyone's questions on what happened, but it's obvious it was something very traumatizing, some people still think he ran away, others think he was kidnapped, and some think he went willingly but something bad happened that wasn't planned after leaving. It took stiles about 5 months to get used to being called stiles, and even now sometimes he doesn't reply so you can say it was a surprise when a new group of "Troubled" kids come to town the one day stiles is absent and ask for him, calling him "thomas", and even weirder when the cops show up the next day with said kids looking for stiles... Either way stiles harem NEEDS to find out what the fuck is going on.

Or, I decided don't see enough stiles/thomas harem stories so I decided to make my own, and it's about stiles coming back but never being the same.

Reflective Critique

Question 4: How things like #BlackLivesMatter and #MeToo (these are only examples, choose your own) have changed the concept of power on the web and the world. Why is this important?

  The web and social media has given greater incentive to give power to anyone online. This can be seen through The Women's March movement that took place in 2017 in order to unite women together to protest for gender equality and other threats to women's rights. Thousands of people took part in the movement across multiple cities in America to show their support for women's rights. This led to the success of women running for office as well as an increased number of people voting. This started when a woman named Teresa Shook posted to her Facebook voicing out her outrage for treatment of women and wanting to create a pro Women March. As a result of this now there have been many more movements for women's rights which shows the importance and power of Citizen journalism on the web and how it changes the world.

This Screenshot shows the movement #womensMarch being used to spread more awareness about women's issues. (Image reference BABEVOTE , 2020, and Garrick A. McFadden, Esq 2019, via Twitter.)

Day 74- Film: The Steel Trap 

Release date: November 12th, 1952. 

Studio: 20th Century Fox 

Genre: Noir 

Director: Andrew L. Stone 

Producer: Bert E. Friedlob 

Actors: Jospeh Cotton, Teresa Wright, Jonathan Hale 

Plot Summary: Jim Osborne is a reliable husband and father and a reliable assistant manager at a bank. One day the monotony of reliability makes him start thinking he could run off with a lot of money from the bank’s vault if he did everything right. He plans a heist, stealing more than $1 million dollars ($11.6 million today), and sets up a flight to Brazil, where they do not extradite. But virtually everything goes wrong once he has the money. 

My Rating (out of five stars): *** 

Another day, another heist noir with a thrilling first half or so, and a disappointing Happy Ending. Grrr... There was much to like about this film, but also a lot to dislike. Have you ever had one of those days where every single little thing seems to go wrong? Well, watch this movie, and you won’t feel quite so unlucky anymore! 

The Good: 

This was a pacey, briskly moving film. The time flew by. It was enjoyable and engaging because something was constantly happening. Every time Jim cleared a hurdle, another one popped up. 

The suspense throughout. As above, Jim was constantly trying to clear hurdles- each time he went up to jump, you’d wonder, will he do it this time? Will he fall? It was easy to get swept along in the fear.

The plot was enjoyably simple and easy to follow. Guy steals money- will he get away with it? And what about his wife? That’s pretty much it, but it wasn’t boring at all. 

Some location shooting in New Orleans. It looked nice and was effective, adding some reality to the film. 

The Bad: (some spoilers) 

I don’t think Cotton was really the right person for this role. I like Joseph Cotton, but something about the role just didn’t fit him. He just didn’t seem like someone who would ever do something so reckless and crazy. I know that could be a plus in some cases, because his character was supposed to be above suspicion... I just think the movie might have worked better with a different lead. 

His motivation wasn’t well portrayed- it was very sudden. His change from predictable guy to someone who steals a million dollars and plans to go live in another country for the rest of his life happened way too fast. It wasn’t understandable or believable. 

The happy ending. Why? Why, especially, would Laurie welcome him back with open arms just because he returned the money? Wouldn’t she still be concerned that he had secretly planned and almost completely carried out a major crime without telling her a thing? I wished the end could have been darker and more complex. 

The unbelievability. Aside from the unbelievability of his motivation, the roadblocks he kept hitting almost became ridiculous. Every single thing seemed to go wrong, yet he somehow scraped by just in time. There were also a lot of very fortuitously timed phone calls. Laurie’s absolute morality was even a little unbelievable. 

The voice over. In a lot of noir's voiceovers can become overly obvious, and this one suffered that fate. 

I felt bad for Teresa Wright’s type casting. She’s a good actress, but she gets put in the most boring “good wife” roles. All her characters get to do is worry about their husband or child or suffer nobly for their husband or child. I wish she had gotten more opportunities for well-rounded roles. 

A hideous rooster lamp! In the living room of their house, there is a lamp with a plaster (?) rooster as its base. Once you see it, you can never never un-see it! It’s also subtly beneath a picture of a rooster on the wall. Apparently, the Osbornes love them some chickens!
