Writer. Artist. Eater of cake. Everything under control, situation normal. Bi. She/her.
I finished rereading all of Murderbot but I’m still recovering from having an organ removed, what should I read next?

It’s true. I am not immune to a good Teia-armor-adorned butt. And Kate Knows this.
A large part of my Veilguard career online is rebageling characters in the Teia armour and then waiting for @esseastri.bsky.social to get there.

I’m a little obsessed
Every year I mix annual playlists & in 2024 I listened to more music than ever. As a result I have 10 mixes rather than my usual 3! I'll post them over the coming weeks. I'm kicking things off with this mellow & slightly haunted mix. I hope it brings joy. Lord knows we could all use more right now.

Have you ever wanted to write so badly that you kind of feel like you’re going to throw up, but you’re so depressed and uninspired that you can’t even open your laptop without crying? Yeah. Anyway.

Tonight, it is Play Keyboard Hours at 4am in Upstairs Neighbors From Hell land.

And by Play Keyboard, I mean repeat the same five-note phrase like. 40 times.

Your musical instrument deserves better, and so do your neighbors.
So the new upstairs neighbors just moved in from hell.

Why am I listening to two (or more??) dudes talking above me. No dudes even live there???????? Why are they yelling? At 4:30 in the morning??

We may never know.

my library card number keeps popping as "invalid" on the library website so that's. new.

I didn't think library cards expired? Is this because I haven't logged into the library in over a year? whomst knows. Guess I have to GO to the library tomorrow, be perceived, and find out.

Lisa and I went to the Wicked movie today and now I'm suffering that Artist Block problem of feeling like nothing I write will ever be as good as my beloved favorite thing, so how can I possibly bother creating anything right now or ever again.

The solution is, of course, to write. However.

thought to myself 'I wonder if this still makes me as happy as the first time I saw it' & arguably in the wake of the engagement news it makes me more happy

Jsyk: lotr still good. I checked.

Anyway, I’m going to retreat into my hobbit hole and cry a little more and think about stories and hope and strength of different kinds and how I do not believe this darkness will endure and what to do with the time that is given to me.

Love you.

Frodo and Sam’s love is not romantic, it is Romantic. It’s about passion and intuition and appreciating nature. It’s about the wildflowers under the morning sun. It’s about staring moodily across the sea. It’s about holding each other in the fire.

It’s about the first of the strawberries and cream.

The costume department knows what they did to me with Aragorn’s coat, right? They are aware of how severely they destroyed my little bisexual self?

And then they don’t let him wear it for the last stand, UGH.
January 3, 2025 at 12:57 AM
I do think Sam could have done it. I think Sam could have been the Ringbearer and he could have withstood it and destroyed it and I think he would have been okay.

But he wouldn’t have been Sam, then. Which is why he can’t.

Is there any surer way to make me sob than to quote me, “I’m going to save you.”/“You already have.” ?

Why does Theoden’s death hit me the hardest of all deaths save Boromir’s??

“I’m just a hobbit. And I know I can’t save Middle Earth.”

BUT YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO TRY ANYWAY. 😭

I know I am allowed to fastforward through the shelob bits, but it feels like cheating to not do the Whole marathon, ya know?

“You shall live to see these days renewed. And no more despair.”

A wish. A command. A plea. A promise.

It feels particularly potent right now, doesn’t it?

This movie spends so much time trying to convince us Arwen is dead. 🙄
January 2, 2025 at 11:25 PM
The casting in these movies is some of the best casting ever done, but like. Specifically John Noble. What a CHOICE.
January 2, 2025 at 11:05 PM
Ah, Minas Morgul, where all I can think of is how annoying the level is in the Lego game, bc you have to play as Sam to solve the puzzles, but if you swap off Frodo, he wanders to the gate and gets caught.

It’s a very Dramatic part of the movie and I’m just thinking abt Legos the whole time. 😩🤣
