And on top of all the horrors this year, it ends with the tragic news of Lee Sun-kyun's passing. What an immense loss, to Jeon Hye-jin and their children, and to the entire world.

Tumblr: Those Animorphs books are fucking hardcore.
Me: Animorphs? Those books with the creepy covers I never read as a kid cause I thought they looked dumb as hell?
Tumblr: Fucking. Hardcore.
Me: Well I don't have any money to waste on random kids' books from my childhood and the libraries in this country don't have English-language YA so—
Tumblr: Author put all the books up for free download.
Me: [sigh] FINE. They're very short, I'll give one a try.
[after reading book 1]
Me: they let fucking CHILDREN READ THIS what the fuck oh WHAT the fuCCK

As Indigenous woman filmmakers, we knew that our path through the industry would be narrow and that our film, Fancy Dance, would have a small window for success based on the abysmal record of representation for Indigenous folx in Hollywood. As such, we channeled our collective wills as granddaughters of Dust Bowl survivors, descendants of genocide and avowed followers of the indomitable Merata Mita to give this film the best shot possible.
If there existed a “how to make a successful movie in Hollywood” checklist, we followed it to a tee.
Step one: Create a compelling script (after her sister’s disappearance, a hustler kidnaps her niece from the child’s white grandparents and takes her to the state powwow in hopes of keeping what’s left of her family intact) – check.
Step two: Find top-tier producing partners (Nina Yang Bongiovi, Tommy Oliver) – check.
Step three: Cast amazing actors at the top of their field (soon-to-be Oscar nominee Lily Gladstone) – check.
Step four: Premiere and screen at world-renowned festivals (Sundance, SXSW, BFI London) – check.
Step five: Receive excellent reviews (THR called it “exceptional”) and festival prizes (Hamptons, L.A. Outfest, Mill Valley, NewFest, Sun Valley, Tacoma) – check.
Step six: Get a distribution deal – …crickets.

This day exactly six years ago I was getting ready to publish a new fan fiction that I was planning to just name 'the sugar baby kara au' because I hated coming up with titles and I am a fool, but my girlfriend of two months convinced me that that was a terrible idea. She was right, obviously, and now six years later we're engaged to be married. Had to lock that wisdom down fast after that.
Also, six years later, I'm here publishing the final chapter of this damn story. Thank you all for taking this adventure with me for over half a decade. I've been a lot of different people in that time, and I am thankful I got to be so many of them with you all.
Here is the final 23k chapter of You Deserve it All, aka the sugar baby kara au

He marches into the throne room and tosses his hood back. Immediately an array of blasters are on him, enough to bring him down, but he doesn’t care.
“Where is he?” he barks, glaring right at Boba Fett.
Fett raises his eyebrows. “Most people start with a greeting,” he says tersely.

I had the great pleasure of collaborating with @materassassino and @fromthemouthofzabe in this year's Star Wars Big Bang! I cannot express how awesome big bang partners they were and just how fun the fic is! I was hooting and hollering the entire time I was reading! If y'all like Dinluke, BobaCobb, and the idea of Luke Skywalker and Boba Fett begrudgingly teaming up, check it out!

los angeles wasn't built in a day
buck/eddie | rated m | chapter 1/5 | 10k (this chapter) | getting together, fake dating (in a sense)
“We’re not going to pretend to be divorced just so Chris can get into a summer camp, Buck,” Eddie says, trying to sound convincing even as he starts to feel his resolution crumbling inside of him.
“Why not?” Buck asks, sounding genuinely baffled, like he can’t understand Eddie’s refusal at all.
And how does Eddie begin to explain the irrationality of his rational denial?
He can’t tell Buck the real reason he can’t go through with it. He can’t tell him without having to reach into his chest, clawing out his heart, setting it down at Buck’s feet still beating, and saying, “Because the only thing worse than loving you knowing I can’t have you would be having to pretend like I didn’t love you enough to keep you with me forever.”
(or the fake ex husbands to fake husbands to husbands fic.)

Why none of this matters
Sada's Yearly Post Christmas BG round up I guess?
A study of 2015 (since we've lost a lot of resources since BG started)
Shit from 2015 with Evidence
1. She got a nose job while pregnant
Left: the “night” of the conception*. Right: her at the London 1D show in September, “pregnant”
*Louis didn't go home with Briana she instead spent the night with Calvin, Ashley and Oli (the two were dating) and there’s a pillow fight video of the four of them while Louis "slept upstairs" that @luckyagain found 🤗🤗
2. The Disappearing Christmas bump
Left: Briana on Christmas 2015 (8 months) Right: Lottie in July 2022.
3. The only bare bump pic we got of her… with her 2016 face
4. She didn't even use her own pictures to post her baby belly
Left: Picture of "her" pregnant belly with no mole. Right picture of her stomach post pregnancy with a mole (also, this is just me but while you may be able to convince me there is a belly button piercing with no jewelry on the pregnant belly, as someone who had a belly button piercing AND a pregnancy that's.... the right picture is not what that looked like post pregnancy)
Shit I can't find evidence for* but I saw with my own fucking eyes
1. The fucking changing timeline of her pregnancy in the early dats (10 weeks to 12 weeks pregnant after we bitched about it being too early)
2. Is it a girl? Is it a boy? The Clarks sure don’t know and also Briana did have a baby show- wait no she didn't have baby shower. No baby shower for Briana.
*probably because i didn't bother to reblog it at the time because 2015 was fucking wild and I honestly didn't think I'd need to - you know - archive EVERYTHING. And the few people who did have since deleted/were deleted by tumblr 🙃
Shit that isn't "evidence" but always bears repeating
It's not real
2. Dirty Dancing Tweet and one of the subplots of Dirty Dancing is a pregnancy thing.
3. The! Pregnancy! Announcement! Was! About! Larry!
4. Were they friends? Were they enemies? Who knows! Not us!
5. This was 2016 but GOD THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. Her post partum attire was WILDLY inconsistent with someone who just gave birth.
I will forever die at the thought of wearing a fucking mini skirt* so many days post partum holy shit.
*reminder the time period post her birth was convoluted as all hel probably to try and get us confused and mixed up in the future (no i don't think they intended bg to go on this long)
And ultimately... even if you can excuse all that, just remember, she literally can't be the exception for everything.
Thank you for your time please enjoy some of the stuff I wrote about last year:
Believe in the Douis break up rule
You're not crazy or dumb or weakfor being frustrated for this
Try not to let shit affect you!
Some more long posts I made last year
Remember! Time is BG's best friend because people end up forgetting a lot of shit that's happened!

“Did I say I wanted you to touch me? Maybe Vincent and Charles have a dead bedroom. Who wants to kiss a face like yours, anyway?” Patently false, considering Alex has wanted to do it forever. But he shelves that thought for a different day.
Henry raises an eyebrow as he smooths down the lines of his suit. “Hm. You think you'll get to kiss me with a smart mouth like that?”
“Okay, Foxy. Don’t expect my tongue anywhere near yours tonight if things get sticky.”
Henry smiles, soft and secretive. “Sure, Alex. No tongues, if you insist.”
