That Being Said - Tumblr Posts

How dare you express the exact same thoughts that I have in my mind? Bildad the shuhite is simply... delightful. I don't know how else to put it.

I found myself wondering, if presented the opportunity, would I kiss bildad the shuhite? and weirdly enough, the answer is yeah, maybe one small peck wouldn't be so bad. so now I'm also wondering, am I bildad-sexual? or should he add kissable fella to the ever growing list of things he is?

man some of the seven deadly sins aren’t even that bad. sorry I’m angry n wanna fuck? Sorry I ate a lot? shut up

HAPPY YURI DAY!! based on that one format, yknow the one?

text id: [Letter 1: "Dear Rei, Today I got summoned to Yuri duty" (the rest is indecipherable)

Letter 2: "Dearest Susato, HOW DO I GET SUMMONED?" (the rest is indecipherable)

The torn piece of paper that could have came from either of the letters: "Please Respond"]

Hi lovelies, I know I reblogged a post about the S&B news earlier but I just want to put my own words out here real quick.

I’m slightly late writing this because I spent the last 30 minutes or so watching the wonderful wonderful wonderful brekkerbybrekker on Instagram live and it was honestly just a full half hour or me crying whilst I watched her cry. I feel like we all know her but if anyone doesn’t she’s on insta and tiktok and she’s absolutely brilliant so do go give her a follow.

The Grishaverse has been part of my life actually for only 2 years, nearly 2 1/2, and I say only because I feel like I have been part of this world forever. I read Six of Crows in May 2021 and I had finished reading the series by September. I think it was in June that I started watching the TV show, after I’d read the first Shadow and Bone book. So although I read the books first, or in the case of S&B the books that were relevant to the season, I have never existed in this fandom - and definitely not as an active part of it - without the show there. And really the main thing I want to say is please please please don’t let this fandom end because we don’t have the show anymore. I know it existed before me but I also know that we got a lot more traction because of the show, you can see that in the way the popularity of it spiked before the release of season 2, and I don’t want to lose this because I love it here so damn much. It really hurts that we won’t be able to see our beloved, wonderful cast in all the futures we’d hoped for, and I really hope they know just how much we love them. This is a difficult revelation, but we will continue on together because we are a strong and wonderful community joined by such genuine love for such a beautiful series of novels.

Over the next few days I’m planning on reblogging the analyses of season 2 that I posted in March so if you’ve joined me since then (which I think a lot of you have since we’re so close to 1.3k thank you all so much) and haven’t read them then give them a look because I really think there’s so much wonderfulness to celebrate about that show and that’s what we need to keep doing now. I also might end up writing some new analyses of the show since I will almost definitely be rewatching it.

Deep down, I honestly really thought we were gonna make it

I know that not everyone will get why this provoked an emotional response from me and that’s okay, but please don’t be disrespectful of the fact that it did 🖤

i think kids online should really get back to making internetsonas instead of whatever fuckshit this is with putting their entire real faces, names, ages, and such everywhere. you're not gonna realize how nice internet privacy is until you dont have it anymore and no chance at getting it back. make up a guy and a name and just be that online. make up conflicting details about your completely made up backstory. make a fursona or something

Fluttershy and Floette ! Floette felt like such a fitting Pokémon for Fluttershy

Probably not going to meet any of my deadlines because of work and school, so have a preview of a huge project I’ve been working on!

Is this upcoming project just to flex how much I adore Asgore? Definitely. Homeboy needs more works with him in them >:(

Ok but like if Dadster did happen, he cloned himself AT LEAST once to try and have someone who could stay home with the boys while he was at work, right?

Like, of course it ended horribly every time, and the question of whether or not the clone he’d terminated was the OG Gaster keeps him up at night, but also free child care-

alicent realizing that viserys deathbed confession to make aegon king was a giant misunderstanding and now there's nothing she can do about it because her sons are out for blood and she has no power over them anymore. she's now doomed to be haunted by her own pre war decisions for the rest of her life

I had a might need to draw cape with stars and well, Miss Martian was a great model.

the only reason we haven’t seen an aftg dead poets au is because we all know how it ends and who would play Neil Perry and Todd Anderson and honestly we deserve better than that

I didn't really like the Kingpin storyline. I don't know why, but I didn't. Anyways, Nobu stan.

I’ve hinted at it in other posts I’ve made, but the idea that Danny is just a little to non-human for people’s comfort is a head cannon I love. Which is half the reason he ends up in Gotham.

Gotham is cursed. Like full on, cursed the land the city was built on it’s imbedded in the brick and mortar of the buildings, cursed. But it leaves all Gothamites with a certain level of tolerability.

So Danny, who had the police called on him 5 different times during a college visit in metropolis because he was just a little too uncanny and everyone felt a certain degree of uncomfortable around him, learned that gothamites still pick up on the uncanny, but they can ignore it. At most he kinda get’s side eyed when he passes by, but most of Gotham gives off an odd vibe so they take it at face value and move on. Danny is not a registered rogue and is also not actively holding them up and they have better places to be.

That doesn’t mean it’s always ignored though. After Danny is admitted to the aerospace engineering program at Gotham U a Twitter account pops up that’s just called “Local GU Cryptid sightings.” It’s just pictures of Danny sleeping in the weirdest fucking places or security footage of him that keeps bugging out because they learn that they can’t take pictures of the kid without the footage going a little buggy.

The students in Danny’s cohort use the account to gauge Danny’s sanity level. They were not afraid to ask what was up with him, and instead of saying he’s a ghost he admitted to essentially living above a radioactive portal that contaminated him. His eyes glow and he has sharper teeth and ears. Also digital anything cannot capture his likeness.

And this was fascinating to them. They started doing some research because they wanted to know why some images had more distortion than others. Turns out the more tired Danny is the more distorted the photo becomes. So every now and then you’ll see someone snap a photo of Danny and be like “go home!” (They refer it to it as Danny’s sanity level because one time he started laughing so hard they thought he’s been gassed, but turns out he hadn’t slept in a week).

Still, it’s sorta become a game. Like how there are accounts that post pictures of the campus squirrels. It’s just that but with absurd Danny sightings. Someone caught him asleep in a tree once. No one knows how he got up there but he was sleeping against a gargoyle in the middle of the night and for the life of them they couldn’t figure out why he wouldn’t just go home (he likes sleeping under the stars sometimes, even if he can’t see them through the smog). A teacher sent a student to retrieve something from storage. Danny was also down there, and can apparently see in the dark since said student turned the corner to a dark hall and glowing green eyes. (Geezus Danny you scared the shit out of me. Now don’t move. I need proof this happened or no one will believe me.)

It’s all pretty harmless. The first time Danny gets caught up in a rouge attack his teenage vigilante instincts kick in and he decks the leader in the face knocking him out cold.

Bruce is concerned because footage of the fight is distorted but both Jason and Tim take one look and laugh. “It’s just Danny. We already vetted him. He’s good,l. Remember the GCPD’s request about that kid who disarmed a bomb and disappeared? That was Danny. He was tired and likes to canabilize machines for his projects.”

Danny not a born Gothamite, but he certainly feels like one so they accept him into the fold easily enough.

Reposting this because I need to materialize it somewhere.

Hi! I just finished reading iwwv and I loved it! I found out about it through recommendations for those who have read the secret history, but honestly? I see so many differences, between the two. Obviously, they are the same genre with similar plots. Still, I know books in this style aren’t generally representing any marginalized groups, so thank you for being different in that!! Do you know if any of your other books will be published and sold soon?

In this genre (macabre campus novel) comparisons to The Secret History are somewhat inevitable. It’s a sensible tactic on the publisher’s part, as TSH was one of the only books in this genre to really approach the mainstream. But I agree, the similarities are superficial, and a lot of what I tried to do in this book was actually reactionary; I love campus novels but I’m often frustrated by the tropes, especially that “boys’ club” feeling so many of them have, TSH included. So writing marginalized people and more than one woman was hugely important to me, and I’m so glad to hear it pleasantly surprised you! (If you’re looking for a few more books in this vein that break the rules, you’ll find a few recs here, and I’d put special emphasis on Catton’s The Rehearsal.)

As for future work: this is a very common question, so you’ll find a lot of information about it already under the WIP tag. Short version is, we’re working on it but we don’t know anything for certain yet. Following me here and on other social media and subscribing to my website mailing list are the best ways to stay in the loop.

Thanks so much for reading!
