Low-key anxiety and worries and self-loathing and that sort of shit I suppress as best I can feelings getting to the crawling out of the tartarus pit I do my best to lock that all away in, got especially bad this week/weekend, so this evening I stopped and read my new purchase of the second trade volume of Green Lanterns because I adore Simon and Jess (the first chapter was the one where they make ma’amoul and Jess panics and tries to call Darkseid). It helped.

On the impulse kick to cheer myself up more and about to order all the current volumes of New Super-Man, even if that’s $32 because hey that’s still only about the cost of one pair of the new shoes I bought, and I still need cheering up. And I know I should wait for the trade because it’s cheaper, but that’s not until the 27th, which could be a good motivation stick to make it through the next two weeks but ugh no, I feel shitty. I need a nice distraction. Plus I want to support comics, be a good and interactive *real* fan, and reading a nice mostly stand-alone series about teenage Chinese Superman sounds soothing.

Yeah, I’ve talked myself into it.

Aw I understand what you mean, but idk it’s just really a lovely fic? : ’)

Yes, it’s not a fic I dislike or feel ashamed of- as evident there are plenty of lines from it that are among my favs, and it comes from an AU that I’ve held dear for about a decade now. I just get befuddled and bemused that this is the acclaimed one, especially because I can’t decide if it is an outlier among my works or fits in with my style and tone and all that jazz

I have long said that in order for any comedy to truly succeed as a story, there has to be meat beneath the jokes. There has to be that moment when it is not funny any more.

This. This is that moment.

#honestly even though this is one of the best scripts there ever has been  #that is the greatest line  #it’s /groundbreaking/ in terms of how it frames vengeance quests; temptation beats; inigo as a comedic figure throughout the movie  #you know because this is a happy book (film) that inigo will get his revenge  #but will he get JUSTICE  #will he get ABSOLUTION  #will he get CATHARSIS  #those are the things we don’t know  #and that line sells it more than any of the previous scene (x)

My interwebz is down so I figured I’d go ahead and post this up. I’m really proud of this. For my Screen Design class, we had to take a fairytale and retell it in however we wanted in storyboard form. I chose the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Just as a heads-up, I’ve replaced the bears with Ursa Major/Ursa Minor, the constellation based on a bear.

I could always tell the story myself, but I figured I should let the art do the talking and only answer questions if you’re curious about it. The only hint I’ll give is to pay attention to the faces of the characters. ;D

This sucker took me 3 days to work on. I’m dead, man. ;_;

Hmm, I feel like maybe I should shift gears slightly and pick something that isn’t a Silm fic, just so I’m not repeating myself, but I haven’t touched even half the other fics and lines/concepts that those lines embody that I like (I really love this meme and similar ones – if there is a Silm fic or other writing of mine you want commentary or my opinion of what I liked most/disliked, ask away!) 

A hero could carry such a name, though, and Bân wanted to be a hero. All he wanted was to have been a hero.

Nan Dungortheb, and all the death it had been rightfully named for, Beren gave no details of, and yet of his twelve companions only Consael could with experience guess at some of the horrors Beren had overcome.

“Come here,” the voice commands. This time the underlying sternness spoils the sweetness. The fingers of her outstretched hands twitch and curl inward like spider jaws.

The boy gave a smile less steady than its predecessors, yet one more honest, as Elwê crouched down so he was no longer looming over the much shorter elf. Elwê smiled back. “I like listening to you.

I love this fic saubhgnjrem

I like Whatcha Gonna Call It?, no lie. But it’s also like that post about how you send days on a picture sketching, redrawing, inking, and coloring – and then the ten minute half-finished sketch for a joke is the one that gets all the notes and reblogs… That feeling? yeah. Because the fics I hash out in one sitting where I’m just pouring out words with little regard to paragraph and sentence structure, just trying to expunge a bit of this very, very old idea. And wow, okay, it’s popular. And maybe it’s more humorous than normal but not really? Is it an anomaly among my fic production or not? I can’t tell. And do readers want more of it or was this the only part that holds value and attention?
