A Note
by Wislawa Szymborksa tr. Clare Cavanagh and Stanislaw Baranczak
Life is the only way to get covered in leaves, catch your breath on sand, rise on wings;
to be a dog, or stroke its warm fur;
to tell pain from everything it’s not;
to squeeze inside events, dawdle in views, to seek the least of all possible mistakes;
An extraordinary chance to remember for a moment a conversation held with the lamp switched off;
and if only once to stumble on a stone, end up soaked in one downpour or another,
mislay your keys in the grass; and to follow a spark on the wind with your eyes;
and to keep on not knowing something important.
everyone eat more vegetables NOW!!! and mention the last vegetable you ate in the tags so we're all on the buddy system. I'll start: bok choy

“you big into claudia” don’t even joke lad
I think it’s interesting how romance and maybe romance leaning fic as a whole gets put on a weird pedestal of analysis where the most common critique is the lack of realism, essentially dismissing it as a genre. When even a literary fiction novel that wins awards is still literature that lacks realism, because life doesn’t have a narrative. No one is adhering to the hero’s journey in real life. But we still analyze those stories based on their literary devices using literary criticism, along with their research. So when we only judge romance based on what it lacks in realism, I get frustrated because you’re not even deeming romance as something worthy of literary analysis, but rather sitting there with a laundry list of things that need “correcting,” as if you yourself need to be the teacher in this instance.

Contemporary art haters will be like "i don't get it" and then not read the title or artist statement or the medium or the year or
How to "get it":
Ask yourself, how does this piece make you feel? (No wrong answers)
Look for an artist statement nearby. What does it say about the artist and their relationship to their work? What does the artist say that they are trying to convey with their art? What contextual clues can you pick up from what they say about their background, or what they omit?
Look at the title of the piece. What is the artist saying about their work by naming it that, either explicitly or implicitly?
Look at the medium. Is there anything about the piece that stands out to you, knowing what it's made of?
Look at the year it was made. What cultural events might have been happening around this time? Was this piece part of a particular art movement? What was the purpose of that art movement, and what was it trying to say?
Accept that sometimes, you still might not get it. This is perfectly okay.

45 & 39 fic asks
39. Is any aspect of your writing process inspired by other writers or people? If so, who?
I WISH!!!! i try so hard to be a sponge but often i do not get a choice in what i absorb. my dialogue patter is very influenced by tv writers like sorkin and whedon, and the way i write sex choreo is more influenced by romance novels (especially sierra simone) than any particular fic writers. if i could i would be better at flourescent language and imagery and specific tone, a la yikes and garagepaperback and eleadore and other such giants. i tried with recent connorisms, but it still always felt like i was Trying.
45. What’s something you’ve improved on since you started writing fic?
so many things. confidence of execution; the process of writing botfic taught me so much about what im capable of. and consistency in writing long-term, i mean i guess we will see how this holds, but being able to sit down and write when i have the time and not letting days go by without working on something has been huge. my two best tricks are a) morning pages; i did the artists way somewhat halfheartedly a few years ago but i still do my morning pages daily. it makes it so much easier to sit down and start writing, because the muscle memory is there. and b) i take notes constantly, if im rotating some little idea ill write it down and aggregate enough of those on a theme or build out an existing idea slowly until i have some kind of starting point. these also help kickstart me when i do sit down to write, if i already have two sentences on how i want a scene to go.
3 9 35 48 fic q's please sir thank you!!!!
3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?
hmmmmmm i like to talk about eyes although i am very careful about not straying into orbs territory. sometimes i do want to. maybe i will one day ill reclaim. also bones or body parts, i usually dont make it through a writing process without looking up some anatomical term. i like a good miscommunicating dynamic and its often the core of my problem set. i like proxyfucking and group sex a lot. i am an extremely visual thinker, i see the whole scene like a movie in my head when i write, so i include a lot of choreography.
How do you find new fic to read?
pretty much solely recommendations! shreya+kate keep me hooked up for hr and i love to open ten new tabs from a recc post.
What aspects of your writing are completely unlike your real life?
i am an extremely emotionally forward person and i will say what i feel when i feel it, which is in general not a great trait for a character who im trying to lever into discomfort. also i live in outfit world and my characters rarely do, bc i can never find an interesting way to describe specific clothes
What’s the last fic you read? Do you recommend it?
:3 shreya and kate's phenomenal upcoming big bang piece which i got a lucky look in at. yall are in for such a treat. before that gone girl's boxing au, which i also saw you mentioning. absolute masterpiece and extremely restrained in scope.
4 for books ask 🥰 how do you scope out a book store, sketch ur movements for me....
omg i totally missed that you asked this. i am so rarely in book stores that i dont really think i have a strategy at this point. now [extremely intelligent voice] at a library...
i am a very active library tourist if i am in a library that is not the one i work at i will be looking at everythinggggg from their spine labels to their public programming to their circulation setup. i will introduce myself to staff (usually after a tasteful cruise to get the vibe) i will take photos of cool displays I will ask to see what their card looks like. and i do browse! general fiction + new fiction especially, if they have genre displays i want to look at romance and scifi. then the next major section i want to check out is kids, and I'll really look through how they separate out content for each age + signage + etc. ill try to find my favorite picture books and force a short reading on whoever im with. i also might look for periodicals, the cookbook section, and adult graphic novels.
That's the real Archie Andrews. The one with murder in his heart.
i love charles vane because he is always getting kicked and looking stupid as fuck
it literally just occured to me right now that its implied he was like a pretty good pirate before the inciting events of the show knocked him flat on his patootie like i was just picturing him as a mostly buffoon who failed upwards into power by virtue of his pretty face and violent nature. but maybe that is not supposed to be the case

the story morley tells billy about mrs barlow as the witch controlling all flint's actions (which morley himself doesnt even say its just implied from the rumours billy repeated) is so awesome. because like a) she kind of does b) later her ghost actually does. just like that all the sea's a stage post i rbd earlier the performative myth about them echoes the "reality". which is of course also a performance by my friends toby and louise
everything comes back to them (johnlock)
