Figured I'll put my usual reminder that I'm crawling back into my bunker until late spring. Good thing is, this has nothing to do with the ratio between likes and reblogs on this blog but my own clusterfuck of a brain which isn't running on the same fiery fuel anymore.

To those few kind Samaritans who drop by—I see you, and I appreciate your support.🥰

I know most won't care, but I'll share it anyway. Things set in stone, or rather, in writing, are forever.

I've completed something I'm very proud of—a rough draft of the character's sheet for Donald which fills most of the blanks the canon has left us with. That means, I'll finally be able to track the damn timeline of his college/university years, his Quantico years, SWAT, Red hunt... Fucking yay!

I'd found a way to disregard some of the things canon gave me and use the things I liked without hurting Don's integrity. I've struggled with it for a long, long time, resulting in excessive fanservice which diminished his character.

Hopefully, after some tweaking and fine-tuning, this sheet will lead to something more. Even if it won't, I'm ecstatic about it anyway—feels good, after all these years, to actually put things into something physical.

As a side effect, I've realized that—what did you expect, it's the way my brain is wired when it comes to Don—what if Ress and Audrey's way to bed and eventual life together wasn't covered with rose petals? I feel like I could explore tons of stuff here, esp about sex, control, sublimation, and how Audrey had become someone who had such an impact on him that he had tried to change his attitude with her.

We know that Ressler has a respect for women and all, but I was just like, what if during sex he wasn't exuding that attitude?

I'll leave it to your imagination to figure out the rest :D

Red's character sheet is in the works. There's a massive amount of research I gotta do—because I'm a pretentious mtf who can't half-ass my way through anything in life, it needs to be perfect—and I honestly have no idea where it leads me. I know for certain that I'm not gonna bs my way around who Red is or isn't, and it's gonna be a pretty much straightforward backstory.

I do, however, have a thing in mind about Detroit and its history, and what role it could've played both in Ressler and Red's life, and I'd love to do something with it.

Hit the tags if you want to find something, or go to my other blogs if you're looking for some Ressler/somebody.

Also, to that dear Nonnie who was asking me about edits on my other blog. I forgot to add that except the VSCO the trick is to have a promo still, a full resolution image, not a 1080p screenshot (you gotta do it in photoshop to keep it more or less hq after coloring).

VSCO is actually fun, so instead of waiting on my sorry ass to come up with something, you can have fun with the stills yourself. Google NBC's site and The Blacklist section, and there will be some cool stills.

And with this, I'm back to my creative anabiosis.

Stay safe and take care.
