for the record i agree with u completely but pls elaborate on ur forlorn gansey feelings if you're so inclined <3
HI OMG !! god i wish i had my copies of the books with me rn so i could refer back to them because i feel like without them im about to say sooo much without saying anything at all like my thoughts are so shallow and half formed but just like...god. his wholeee search for glendower there is smthn so utterly forlorn tragic melancholy behind it and behind his obsession with it and behind his sense of duty towards it and behind how much of his life and his purpose and his being he hinges on the result of it. especially when it ends up dissolving into practically nothing in front of him. AGAIN wishing i had the books but like thinking of uhh i think whelk's?? description?? of him being smthn like strange, desperate gansey. and the bit where its like gansey clung to the possibility that his king would explain the intricacies of gansey to gansey. his fear of having to confront and define who he is as a person and what his purpose is outside his search for glendower...which is at least part of what keeps him so devoted to it...and like. between his supposed responsibility towards that and his responsibility (as he sees it) to looking after his friends all of whom have problems of their own all thats left for himself is like. sitting alone on the floor at like three am painting little carboard models of henrietta. IDK at the end of the day hes just this weird desperate little guy hes kind of fucked up he's like one of those sharks that die if they stop swimming and he knows it and thats why hes gotta keep looking for this dead welsh king and never ever think about what'll happen afterwards so that he never ever ever stops swimming because once he does....

I got a CD of the album Transangelic Exodus! I thought it was interesting that there are bonus lyrics under Maraschino Red Dress that aren't actually in the song. (I included lyrics that are in the song for context)
"I was looking over my shoulder at the register trying not to be seen looking over my shoulder at all
I'm wearing it now / I can breathe / Getting better at doing my eye makeup but I still look a little like a corpse / I dwell in dark places on summer afternoons.
I had appointments today, errands to run"

Tagged by @roxannepolice and @harrowq, it's my lucky day
Rules: List the first lines of your last 10 published fics and see if there’s a pattern.
“Get out of the way,” the Master says, but the Doctor turns around, grabs him by his shoulders, looks him in the eyes.
I know that there's some kind of place ("The End of Time" AU, being miserable about Time Lords' fucked up little society)
“I thought I was gonna die.” Donna whispers it, like a confession.
welcoming you back home (the only one that you have ever known) (post-"Wild Blue Yonder," DoctorDonna)
The Doctor jolted back to full consciousness with ice cold water dumped on his head.
the kind of thing they did (during and post-The Nemonite Invasion, DoctorDonna)
he’s like a god the way he walks towards you, unafraid, unflinching, you want to hurt him.
god (during the wasteland scene in "The End of Time," tensimm, prose poetry)
“Isn't it beautiful, Doctor?”
I want your quiet, your screaming and thrashing (post-"The Last Line" AU, tenwar, ten's stuck in the time war)
The clock ticks in the corner, counting down every second of the silence.
The Blood-Dimmed Tide (Hermitcraft/Life SMP TMA AU, written for the Hermitshipping Big Bang)
They used to torture people here,” the Doctor with a bowtie — Eleven — says.
All these soldiers (Christmas gift for @bloopdydooooo, "Day of the Doctor" AU)
Jon feels sick after he reads Prentiss’ statement.
The Rotten Stone is a Mirror (my magnum opus, my last TMA fic, goes from MAG 32 -> MAG 160)
The Doctor's back arched and an agonised howl tore out of his mouth as soon as Dalek X activated the mind-probe.
i will pull it together (you can love me forever and ever) (post-Prisoner of the Daleks, DoctorDonna, read the whumpy bit and I was like. but what if friendship)
The Doctor stands on the edge of the building, looking out over it all.
The Last Laugh ("The Giggle" AU, please note that my views have Very Much Changed, i repeat it in the author's notes a whole bunch, im like hi hey guys uhm. i dont think the giggle was. bad. actually)
A pattern with my writing is usually starting with dialogue and then describing the scene, because I like it. It doesn't happen nearly as often as I thought it did.
Anyway, tagging: @bloopdydooooo, @mapleejay, uhhm... @cyeayt do you write fanfiction? i think you do? sorry i forgor
