You Should Be Booped, And Often, And By Someone Who Knows How.

You should be booped, and often, and by someone who knows how.

😂😂😂 Frankly my dear, I don't give a boop?

For anyone reading The Sweetest Sting, the hot chapter is coming (heh) but it'll be on Thursday. I was distracted by boops all day yesterday when I should have been editing, and I'm gonna be distracted tomorrow with the new episodes and my beloved Max. So Thursday it is. Sorry for the delay!

Ahhh, thank you, Aly!

I'm gonna be honest with you, The Sweetest Sting has been an exercise in "good enough." Because your girl is pathological when it comes to perfectionism, details, and research. That's why The Sun in My Eyes still isn't done 4 years after I started it. I'm so glad you wrote this post, because I'm currently down the tiktok rabbit hole of a certain subject for my next chapter and it's got me behind schedule. I'm crawling out of it and getting back to the actual writing so I can finish TSS before the end of April.

Also, below is an existential crisis I need to revisit every few days to remind myself to be conscious of my perfectionism. Don't know if it'll be helpful for you, but here ya go!

"Forget about perfect. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to BE."

nah, cuz I need to put y'all on @sparxaf's fic, The Sweetest Sting

I've only read up to chapter 4 on my binge of it so far, but oh my god, this chapter. I've felt the whole range of human emotion from that chapter ALONE.

The beautiful thing about it was, it reminded me why I love writing myself, and how much I've missed it 😭 to draw out that level of emotion from words alone is a powerful thing, and it's rewarding, to bring out that daydream you'd run over and over in your head, to others 🥺

and I asked myself, why haven't *I* been scribing away yet, even though I have more than my fair share of ideas I wanna get to? 😭 Oh yeah, the meticulous way I've been doing research runs so far, for my MCs 💀

Well, since I was reminded that in this case, the end goal of actually writing again is far more important than the "journey" of thoroughly cataloged research (that I may end up deleting from my photo gallery anyway, as I've done with other runs 💀)

I've decided a few new ways I wanted to approach my research, so I could get to writing again faster;

I could always jot down moments of significance in my notes

If I do want to screencap something, capture the moment one time, and move on. (Before, I would capture each moment a few times before moving onto the next, as I was unreasonably worried about something not being loaded in correctly if I went too soon/late, even though I inherently knew it was just my internal OCD-like symptoms flaring up)

Anyway, I wanted to thank @sparxaf again for singlehandedly destroying my internal OCD on this, by reminding me what's waiting for me on the other side of my research, that I wanna get to soon as possible.

In which Amelia shows her whole, entire ass and Rora and Lewie get their happily ever after.

Epilogue will either go up on Thursday or next Monday! We'll see how antsy I am to officially finish the fic.

Hey, did you know you can get migraines in your eyeballs? And it can last for days? I sure didn't! I honestly thought I had a stroke when I woke up with a horrific headache, nausea, and blurry vision in one eye.

So, The Sweetest Sting is delayed until Tuesday. I decided to add in some Amelia stuff as the people have spoken but I've been unable to really work on it for two days. I'm so sorry. I thought I'd be finishing it up by now but life (and eyeballs) have decided differently.

Hopefully this little snippet will tide you over:

Marshall looked down at her, his brow furrowed. Then without a word, he shoved her against the side wall. There was no preamble, no teasing. He kissed her, deep and rough. She moaned against his demanding mouth as he gripped her braids. When he pulled back, she wanted to scream with frustration. “Since I stepped foot in this place,” he said. “You’ve been the only one I wanted. But I’m not the type to give you more than this.” His grip tightened in her hair and he kissed her again. “There’s something about you. You make me wish I could commit to just one girl. But I can’t.” His eyes glittered with a pain she didn’t fully understand. Before she could react, he spun her around, her back to his chest so she was facing the doorway, where Lewie stood frozen. “He can, though.”

Rora is sad. Marshall has an idea. A wonderful, awful idea. Lewie is on board. Ozzy makes an appearance. This is 28 pages (12,522 words) of smut. If you've made it this far into the story... you're a trooper and you deserve this.

Only two more chapters to go!
