2022 Creator Reflection

1. ppt meme

the thing im happiest with this year, tbh! i put a lot of work and care into each slide—and i think it shows. at the same time, this thing i made to help my writing be more accessible just became something that required a commitment to read from its length. i hope anyone that read it found it worthwhile! i love rereading it myself.

2. free

jillian’s prophecy attacked again. new florence + the machine song, new bri edit. my motivation to create things has been really low so i tried to limit myself to only devoting an hr or so to this simple edit. i think its cute

3. goal of the century

it doesnt look like i did a lot to this edit, but i added a lot of lighting to it. it was nice editing a picture of lselle and it reminded me a bit of how fun it was to have something i wanted to badly in the game as the seagull minion

4. the loneliest

this one took a few days to complete. i listened to maneskin a lot in the car this year to keep my spirits up, so its ironic that this is the only song i made something for. i used a lot of bad pics to make it so it was a greater struggle than it couldve been, but im still happy w the way it came out even if it didnt linger in my head afterwards

5. will it snow? [nsfw]

it took me a very long time to write this and, altho its not remotely close to my usual vibe, i think its well done. mostly i think it was a v good exercise for all that never made it into the final product. i wrote three different carriage scenes to find the heart of whole piece.

❌ impulsivity > fury > humiliation > resolve

(hoare’s outside, nol jumps out w no plan but to confront him, realizes how stupid he is when hoare a) insults him or b) escapes him, and he determines that he can do nothing until the recital in the evening)

❌ impulsivity > rationale > protectiveness > calm

(hoare’s outside, nol jumps out w no plan but to confront him, realizes how stupid he is before he moves away, so he gets back in the carriage, still mad with adrenaline, embarrassment, and the #masculine impulse of protection all manifested in possessiveness, then a gradual lowering of hackles)

✔️ ostracism > fear > rationale > calm

(looping back to the fake community at the beginning, a return to his fear of societal expectations & his lack of a community where he can be himself, the value of secrecy, the joy of secrecy)

i always loved the original carriage scene and im glad i got to actually finish it. i didnt get to do armistice day this year and i also didnt finish may other things, but at least i have this.

i have to confront more and more often that my drive to engage w ffxiv is almost depleted, and its a really really lonely feeling. i dont know what ill do in the new year about it. i know ill continue my literature work/research and keep drafting my outline for a complete transition of nol and eli into wwi austria-hungary. i want to write more!

past reflections: 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021

#i also literally dont know why my file #became so crunchy #for the snow edit #i cut out the dude w the hat at work #and i guess the file saved badly #anyway highly rec scrivener #also i know ppt meme has a lot on marriage plot but i dont feel like it anymore :sob:#brianna babbles #bri edits

To Embrace The Shadow: Omen of Death

Sister Zala, a restless undead elf and the only one accustomed to the wilds, continues the search on her own.

World of Warcraft | Original Characters

Light Angst | Found Family

—————————–

Zala avoided other people in the coming days. The murderers had finally been dispatched, and she witnessed their leader die in the same inferno that he used on his victims, but vengeance wasn’t enough to calm her. He could have died a thousand deaths, and it still wouldn't be enough. Ater all of the bloodshed was over, and her ears were ringing from the silence that followed, she just felt hollow.

She would never be able to forget. They hurt what few friends she had, they scarred her reflection with holy fire, and in her time of need, took away the person she loved the most.

Out of the three, she had been the most eager to bring that invisible raven out of Lafayette’s vision, insisting that it must be a sign of the Shadow Mother. The others agreed with her, seeing no other explanation for its incredulous presence, but when they managed to coax the bird out, it snubbed them by escaping the forest. Returning home with nothing but another reminder of their loss, Zala left Lafayette and Cletus to their papers and prayers, while she slipped out into the night.

Being a restless young woman, she chose to continue the hunt alone. If anything, it was an excuse to distract her from nightmares about witnessing her mentor being immolated. As a ranger, most of her tasks were relegated to the outdoors, and people didn’t question her when she left for a while, as long as she eventually reported in. It usually took her mind off of things to scour Deathknell, but all that she could think about was that raven. It was too overt for it to just coincidentally be the only thing from the Void to watch over the lake.

Lafayette and Cletus kept their objective a secret, but days of nothing dragged on, and the two were talking about shifting focus when the raven was nowhere to be found. It was probably just some strange critter they took from its home realm, they told her, and it was now soaring freely on the mortal plane. Irresponsible if true, and out of their reach, regardless.

She was the only one who refused to sit still. She berated the others for being so placid, accusing them of giving up, but they reiterated that they were duty-bound men and worked on solving the mystery when they could. Cletus had become twice as busy, and Lafayette couldn't see most of the time, so she had to be their scout. The three of them were still a unit, and she was going to fill the role that only a ranger could play.

Zala watched the skies, convinced that the raven would show up. More days of scouring western Lordaeron, more nights of returning home with nothing to show for, except bags of nature’s resources to cover her tracks. She was getting increasingly disheartened.

Until one night, when she finally found it. The raven had chosen a branch high above her usual route, as if it was waiting for her. That was what she told herself, at least. She didn’t try to capture it. Although undead now, Zala was still an elf, and knew best to be careful with nature and its inhabitants. But in her mind, this was no ordinary bird. It must be smarter than just walking into her simple traps.

She wanted the raven to know that she was there for it, but she was running out of excuses to constantly leave the village, and couldn’t afford to lose her quarry. She tried speaking to it, addressed it as she would her mentor–minn’do–and while it didn’t respond, it didn’t fly off either. Every time she could head outside, she found the raven, watching her. She was allowed to get closer with time, sitting under the trees where it rested, but when it was offered her hand, it shied away. Zala respected its space. Frustrated as she was, she kept on trying. In her eyes, this was the furthest any of them had gotten.

When it was close enough, she noticed that the raven had indigo eyes, and she could sense the familiar presence of the Shadow on it. The clergy often used ravens as representative motifs, or they were manifested through their spellwork; Zala had conjured Shadow Ravens herself in the past, utilizing them for her practice.

The bird didn’t make as much as a single croak, but it stayed with her longer and longer. It must be a sign. Minn’do must be using them to catch Zala’s attention, and it worked. Her determination was showing progress!

More days passed. The ranger would regularly run through the woods around Deathknell, and the raven would follow. Zala smiled with all of her fangs on display when it trusted her enough to join her patrols. She dashed past the mine to the northwest and headed for the hills, using her catlike agility to swing herself up a tree that reached high above the valley. Choosing a sturdy branch, she sat with her back against the trunk and her legs swinging in the breeze. The raven landed a few steps further out.

They watched over Lordaeron together. This land had become her home, one that she chose herself, among people who spitefully prided themselves on being anomalies. The Forsaken were a strange people, known to be leery and macabre, but they were traits that she shared with them. She wasn’t comfortable with all of them–especially not the military–and Lordaeronian forests were measly compared to Kalimdor, but she had come to like the creepiness. The other undead elves she met here were more relatable than any living.

Zala was unlucky in life and never found kinship with other Kaldorei. Many tearful days she left behind her, enraged over the injustice of being born under a roof where you had to be loud to be seen. She was made to worship a goddess that picked favorites even among her favored people, and Zala was not one of those privileged few.

She knew that she wasn’t easy to love. Her limited control had her berated, ignored or thrown out, until she couldn’t take it anymore and stopped begging for scraps of approval. At times, she didn’t even mean to act out, feeling as if she was piloting a body that defied her will, and her living family chose their deity above their difficult daughter. Love, as she knew it, was conditional. When she became undead during the Fourth War, little of value was lost, as no one would be missing her.

All of this, she had confided in Mother Lucretia, and with the matron’s guidance, the elf found comfort in a different kind of darkness. There was no conditional love from the Shadow of the Void; it wasn’t a prejudiced deity. It just was. Endless, chaotic, unforgiving. Anyone could behold the maddening abyss, but you had to work on your resilience against its whispers to tap into it. Zala often struggled, but she had a patient mentor; and at last, she had something to work for. Someone to make proud.

All of this, she retold for the attentive raven. Every time she reminisced on her life, the pain was becoming less difficult to deal with, as she now had a family who accepted her flaws. Despite their promises, however, she was worried that their patience would inevitably run out.

Confessing her woes brought a lump to her throat. She was robbed of her minn’do‘s guidance, and she was drained from trying so hard all the time. Practicing the Forgotten Shadow’s second tenet, Tenacity, was exhausting when she feared disappointment wherever she went. She cursed under her breath and descended the tree. She had to return to the clergy with another empty report, and while each failure hurt, she was going to force herself to keep trying. Minn’do would have encouraged her to keep trying.

Zala jumped when the raven flapped down right next to her. She offered her arm, and the bird landed face to face with her.

Indigo eyes met her red. This was the first time that they had come in direct contact. It leaned forward and inclined its head. Zala felt compelled to do the same, and the raven closed the distance by connecting its forehead with hers.

Then, she heard it. It was quiet and weaker than she knew, but it was unmistakable. Inside her mind, the Shadow reciprocated her tenacity, and returned to her the voice that she had been chasing day and night.

“Thank you, Sister.”

my friend tourmaline and i were talking about how often fatui members are used to die for story quests and they said "THEY'RE LIKE HAMSTERS. JUST EXIST TO DIE GROTESQUE DEATHS" and then sent me examples of people saying how their hamsters died. which of course led to:

Ogdred’s problems turned out to be high blood pressure and some kind of stomach inflammation, so he’s on meds now. It’s not too bad; I’m usually a deft hand with a pill gun/syringe and he knows there are treats after. Alistair also knows there are treats after and tonight was the first night he came up to me and was like, Mom, it’s midnight, where are the treats?

#i was so worried we’d have to fight him once it became routine #but he’s just like oh so this is gonna happen #while his brother is #like fuck your inconvenience #whereas my crunchy?#ogdred k weary #alistair k therein #the k is for kitteh #cats #and og is fine #he’s still super active

the other night i had a dream that i was leo and the whole family was vacationing on a tropical island except there were these teleport spots that teleported you, so I was trying to teleport to a cool beach or reef or something but only humans could activate the teleporter and I wanted this girl (I went to camp with her) to teleport me and for some reason she was sitting on a surfboard and I think Rupert Grint and this kid in one of my classes who has great hair were also waiting so I was like “i need goggles” and I ran back to the resort which was 100% made of nicely stained wood and full of white people and small children crying there was dragonfruit in flower shapes and just like a whole melon which I took and for some reason I (Leo) distinctly remember HATING dragonfruit but I (dusky) personally love it so that was confusing but anyway I tried to go back but there was an obstacle course and the first obstacle was a 2 foot horizontal jump to some broken stairs and there was an old man facilitating and blocking my view and I could not see the rest of the course and I spent the whole rest of the dream trying to get across. The end. (This is a draft from a WHILE ago)

#rottmnt #i have great dreams cj knows this #cj tag #this is because I made her watch the rise movie with me #and then we stayed up super kate #latw #late #and I guess I project onto Leo so hard that I just became him??????#who knows #the dragonfruit thing really tripped me up tho #because I love dragonfruit but I distinctly remember saying #“ew this tastes like crunchy water”#or something like that #weird shit #i hope it happens again tbh maybe I do hate dragonfruit #ive never not been myself in a dream #It was an Experience

Looney Tunes-ass setup

#Of all the ways for my laptop to break... I did not expect Only my left ear in the headphone jack to go #USBs? Working fine. Disc Drive? Ain't no thing. SD Card reader? Gotcha.#Fucking uhhhhhhh Left-Ear Headphones?? From the same Headphone Jack????? Sorry???????#Why only the left?? Like if both broke I'd just be like Oh Okay the jack is broken I can understand that #Or if it was the headphones themselves I'd be like Oh Okay some of the wires got loose since they're in separate lines #But then it happened on my Good Headphones that I Just Bought that only have the One Cord for both ear pieces and I Became Suspicious #I have literally never had a jack break on me like this this is so wild #Luckily I had this spare USB volume control which is Not my favourite for several reasons lol #Initially when I bought it I was interested because I thought it was a) a splitter or b) in-line volume control #It is neither! It's basically a plug-and-play volume button #For...in case.....you don't.........have? a volume button? on your device? The horrors I would not buy a device like that in the first place #Everything is a tactile button for me thank you #And also you can plug in a mic but I have a separate USB mic that I like better so lol no on that one #So it was useless! Until....#It's still a bit scuffed it's slightly bass-boosted in a crunchy way which is Not my favourite :/ I like smooth bass-boosting thank you #That's the whole reason I bought these headphones!#It'll do in a pinch until I can ask around about it #I've been meaning to go to a repair shop for uhh year or so? Maybe more? One more push in that direction

I have discovered the reason I am the epitome of "I will not eat new foods ever" is because my parents make sure whenever they make a dish I've never had before, that there is something in there I can't stomach to "teach me to eat it"

I'm autistic lmao. It's been almost 19 years now, you're not gonna magically cure me from picky eater-ness by still forcing me stay at the table until I finish my plate of something that contains taugé, or whatever that's called in English.

Seriously I get it's annoying when you cook and someone doesn't like it but like. It's a) not your fault, and if you're the parent/caretaker of this person it's b) your responsibility to not make your kid dread eating anything other than bread and rice cakes because you keep pressuring them to eat "normal food"

#*ACTUALLY stomps foot for a tantrum*#potatoes. just give me potatoes #(I can't cook for energy reasons btw that's why they're in charge of food. still)#I would eat more if I didn't absolutely dread dinner time. much less eating a stranger's place #potatoes or some non crunchy veggies like broccoli. I like broccoli. especially when it's a bit roasted #tomato paprika and mushrooms are an absolute no #(unless it's tomato sauce and not too much of it)#and spinach but I'm allergic to that one so sometimes that one gets left out #I wish there was some tool that just KNOWS what I will and won't like without me having to #either contain myself in front of people because there's a few textures and tastes that make me want to puke #regardless of how good a cook someone is. so I always feel bad #or that situation where I sit at the table for an hour and quietly sneak my food into the green trash once everyone else gets bored #to eat a quick sandwich instead #I've actually accidentally trained the ability to tell when I'm full out of me #because (I still do this btw) I would always lie and say I was full to get out from under dinner #so now my stomach can't tell anymore. You put Macaroni (unless it's carbonara) in front of me? *full*#this became a bit of a rant lol #btw when I say *normal food* up in the post #by my parent's definition that's either italian or chinese food. even though. WE ARE NEITHER. like. don't call that #*normal food* in my face when I like literally every type of fucking stew you refuse to let me eat #sorry for the rant again lmao

for @wae-teeth,

They’ve long since nullified the innate aversion to Jamie’s presence, a minuscule tick that Eric had learned to ignore, a dull scratch that they now could hardly pay much mind to. All the same, it allows for Eric to perk up, sensing Jamie long before he came into view, “Aren’t you supposed to be holed up with the Senate? Trying to figure out which way is up after everything?” They toy mindlessly with their own hands as if to remind himself that whatever modifications to his typical transformation were long absent from his form, despite their memory plaguing his mind incessantly. “Or do they only call... you in,” eyes take obvious note of Jamie’s lithe frame, almost curious to know what inherited strength hid underneath deceitfully boyish looks, “—when they need you to rough someone up?” A roguish smirk smeared across waxen countenance in finality.

#jamie price #everything i touch just turns to poison. 」conversations.#the gif I first used became crunchy for some reason so hehe

(my bitch ass 100% intends to make the Inness Grilly Cheese tomorrow when I get things cleaned up in my house as a TREAT. Burgers can wait grilled cheese is a god send.)

#ooc #Ngl when I was growing up we weren't the wealthiest folk and my parents worked a lot so cheap easy to make foods became common in the house #As a result I'm more for creature comfort foods over anything fancy.#Like a good pbj with apple jelly and some crunchy peanut butter on lightly toasted bread or grilled cheese or some fried eggs n spam #If it was cheap and we could stock up for a bit usually it was something to eat #And as an adult dead ass I would prefer the life $1-$3 cup noodle with a little extra salt n pepper+egg over something fancier #That doesn't mean I don't enjoy food that requires effort i just run on low energy and only just got back to work earlier this month #So things that are easier or are convenient to pack for lunch/dinner are infinitely more welcome than life 60 step French bougie meat hock #Also huge tip for those who make meatloaf try some soy sauce and mixing a little bit of tumeric into the meat with some lighter ketchup gla #I PROMISE it you will not be disappointed
