So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
Oh you’re so sweet (and you know me so well!!) 💛 Thanks!!
So, it's been a while again, but just writing with an update on where I'm at fandom-wise.
I've been working on a massive edit of the existing installments of The Bound Series. This has included changing everything in the first two parts to first-person present tense, and fixing old inconsistencies in the plot, as well as some grammatical and prose issues that I've wanted to solve for quite some time.
I'll notify here when I've completed that particular part of the project, but I'm also getting reintroduced to my version of the Tracys and Co, and I'm really happy with where I'm headed. I've also been slowly reworking elements of the plot to fit more completely with my TAG stories, so once I've done that I'd encourage everyone to do a re-read if you'd like to see these changes in effect.
It's an absolute pleasure to be back in fandom, even as behind-the-scenes as this is. Planning for future stories and chapters feels so natural and I've missed it desperately. I'm really excited to see how it all turns out and to share it all with everyone.

Some of my “wander ‘round Melbourne” shots from today. Going to see The Rocky Horror Show tonight!
Also, I think it's a given now that no matter how many times I come up here I MUST take a pic of Flinders St Station. It's almost a compulsion at this point.
This has happened to me today with my old TAG logo patches. It’s a lovely, loved feeling.
People think because they don’t have loads of followers it doesn’t matter if they reblog a piece of art or a fic meanwhile the op doesn’t even know about any of that the only thing the op sees is the reblog tags that make their day and the number of reblogs on their post
Re-reading old chapters of Determined and Fulcrum today, hopefully will be able to get back to adding to c10. It’ll be amazing to get it done and then actually able to post it at some point.
and very, very often, self care is not plants and ice rollers and fluffy blankets of peace.
it’s standing over your kitchen sink and crying while doing the dishes because you just want to go back to bed but the dishes need done. and you don’t know why you’re crying but you're trusting you need it. and you aren’t listening to the music that pulls you into a spiral; you’re listening to some cheerful shit your friend sent you. it’s getting up and staring at your fridge and closing your eyes and then cooking yourself food even though you hate it and it’s miserable. because you know that you’d cook for your friend, and you are trying to befriend yourself. it’s dragging yourself into the shower because you know you’ll feel better afterwards. it’s doing mundane tasks with patience, cursing under your breath, trying desperately to give yourself grace. grace is the beginning of care. care is the beginning of love.
we think it’s supposed to be peace and yet the most powerful self care moments are when we hate everything but especially ourselves. and life does not feel worth the loving.
to look into that pain and yet choose to care for yourself in however many pieces you are — that is care. love. grace. trust. belief. it hurts because it’s love where there was no love before. it heals because it believes there will be love, one day, soon.
