I found a childhood friends to lovers (15 years since they last saw each other) and they both grew up equally hot

The title is My Childhood Friend That I Reunited With After a Long Time Became a Tiddy Monster and I appreciate that it applies to both parties in the relationship

#desiree talks #desiree reads #now #how long will it take for them to get together #there’s only 39 chapters translated but each chapter is like 4 pages so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#lets hope for the best

Films watched in 2022:

↳ The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) dir. Desiree Akhavan

“It was cool, but sunny and bright and a good day for hiking. Each step in the plan clicked forth, like winding film on a camera: click, click, click, click, click. And then we were on the trail and on our way.”

Make and wear a popcorn necklace with at least five pieces of popcorn and then do the opposite of the following: You must under no circumstances not avoid not making the bell not ring. The task is over when you have either rung the bell or not rung the bell and said "I did the right thing" three times. Fastest to not do the wrong thing wins. If you don't do the right thing, you lose five points.

why do so many clex fic writers seem to think that lex hated lana when that is fundamentally incompatible with the way that lex interacted with her at every point in the show, from the first season through the last? it's so frustrating reading fic and having suddenly having lex's internal monologue in the narrative be incredibly derisive and snide about her when lex always liked lana.

i get people not liking the lexana relationship or reading it as both of them sublimating their feelings for clark onto each other – i do think there is plenty of evidence for that in canon – but god, sometimes it's obvious that the writer is venting their own feelings about lana via lex in a way that actively contradicts the way that he engages with her in canon.

#it's so jarring reading an otherwise good and well-characterized clex fic #only to get slapped with lex calling lana 'annoying' or 'whiny' or 'selfish'#i have pretty mixed feelings on lex and lana's romantic relationship but lumping lana in with helen or desiree or even victoria BAFFLES me #i need to defend lana lang from slander in fic written over a decade ago

So I'm attempting to get back to reading, since I used to devour books as a kid but stopped reading for fun almost completely in high school and college, and even 10+ years later it's no longer a habit. But I just finished The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett, and it is fantastic. It's heartfelt and complicated with fraught dynamics regarding everything from family to race to honesty to self-perception to love, and I really enjoyed it.

🌌 Milky Way for all of your OCs

Whoo! This'll take a minute -- let's do this!

🌌 MILKY WAY - what was the inspiration behind your oc? what was the first thing you decided about them?

Carewyn, as better explained here, is a fusion of my mum and myself as kids!

Jacob, as better explained here, was inspired by the stories my mum used to tell me about her late brother!

Erik was inspired largely by a friend of mine from high school who had this very cherubic face and also the largest, sassiest potty mouth of all of my friends. His name was also inspired by two of my favorite Broadway characters -- Erik from The Phantom of the Opera and Enjolras from Les Miserables (affectionately called “Apollo” in the book).

Ana came about because I thought an INFP Gryffindor could be a really fun contrast, but personality-wise, she really took influence from both myself and my dad as kids, since my dad’s a Gryffindor and I’m an INFP.

Farid, as better explained here, was inspired by both Newt and Jacob from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Yugi Mutou from Yu-Gi-Oh.

Jackson, as better explained here, was inspired by historical stage magician Harry Houdini!

Bat, as better explained here, was inspired by Garrett Denali from Twilight and Sirius Black, as well as other “Lancer” type figures like Ron Weasley and Jounouchi Katsuya from Yu-Gi-Oh.

Ru was an evolution of an idea I’d developed much earlier on of a serial killer kelpie that transforms into various forms to eat people, but over time, they developed a love of photography and film that’s largely like my own for film and television, and in doing so developed a much more sympathetic motivation and personality. Their particular feeling of isolation and wanting to be part of this world they could only watch from afar is a feeling I’ve felt off-and-on for years and evoked both Quasimodo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Ariel from The Little Mermaid, to me.

Ed’s brain spark largely came down to me thinking it’d be fun to have a 90′s style boy band (i.e. Backstreet Boys, N*SYNC, 98 Degrees) in the Potterverse around the time when Harry and crew were at school. Backstory-wise, I took inspiration from Severus Snape, Andromeda Black-Tonks, and both Sirius and Regulus Black, and obviously Ed’s a Slytherin like Snape, Andromeda, and Regulus...but personality-wise Ed actually ended up taking some inspiration from Anna from Frozen! In fact, one of the character themes I chose for him as a child is a deleted song from Frozen that was originally going to be sung by Anna called More Than Just a Spare.

Desiree came about largely because of the creation of Jules Aquila @kathrynalicemc. His spontaneous, fantasy-loving personality was just so likable (largely because of how in-tune I was with it myself!), so when I was working on a character that I thought could be a fun contrast for someone like Jules, I settled on using my late stepmum as inspiration. I’m a very right-brained, sensitive, imaginative person like Jules, while my stepmum as a girl was a very left-brained, soft-spoken, modest, scientific, nerdy overachiever the way Desiree is. Like Desi as well, my stepmum had to find freedom and happiness by breaking away from her family and home and starting a new life apart from them. Desiree also ended up gaining flickers of my mum (who has always been very sensible and organized and shares a personality type -- ISTJ -- with Desi), as well as Elsa from Frozen, Luisa from Encanto, and Tiana from The Princess and the Frog. Both Kath and I have also found amusement at how much Juliree resembles Aladdin/Jasmine from Aladdin, ship-wise, as well.

Eli was largely inspired by comic film actors Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, as well as Robin Williams and Fiyero from the musical Wicked. Like Robin did, Eli struggles with severe depression, but works hard to keep a smile on so as to make others happy, and like Fiyero, he was the sort to “tune in and drop out” at school from an academic perspective, but he’s actually a lot deeper emotionally than he seems from the outside.

Bairn’s initial spark just came from me finding Brock O’Hurn and wanting to design a character that resembled him, honestly! 😂 I gotta thank @magical-retales for brainstorming a Renaissance-set storyline featuring Merlin, though...it was so much fun to take inspiration from different King Arthur storylines for Bairn’s character, like the Once and Future King series and Disney’s The Sword in the Stone. Bairn also took some cues from both Harry Potter and Charlie Weasley, being a Gryffindor orphan raised by uncaring Muggles with a longing for family and a love of nature and magical creatures!

https://www.katechopin.org/desirees-baby-text/

This is one of the best short stories of all time. It’s difficult to summarise- it’s a portrait of a failure of man, focusing on one specific event. It’s a tragic story, and one that will pop into your head years later. Posting the link here so I can more easily find it when the name slips my mind

#myp #it feels a bit like Fall of the House of Usher but it’s not horror #tw slurs #they werent slurs when it was written but some of the language is outdated and rude #it’s a story about evil things happening to evil people #in the antebellum american South #(that’s probably a better summary)#(okay. go read it now)#désirée’s baby #desiree’s baby

In relation to my last post, here’s some pages from Call the Name of the Night

Basically I like how the mangaka plays around with and makes use of negative space. It’s really interesting to look at digitally, and I want to see what it’s like in a physical book (I bought Vol 1 this morning).

It reminds me of the work by Kamatami Yuuki who wrote Shounen Note and Our Dreams at Dusk. But its most evident in their work Hiraeth which makes me so upset that that one is digital only (I ended up buying a physical JP copy)

#desiree talks #desiree reads #manga #i heard that witch hat atelier has similar art too #its on my to read list as well

It's Monday, What Are You Reading---May 15th, 2023

So, I realized that I haven’t done IMWAYR for a long time. Actually, the last time I posted was in September 2021. So, it has been a minute. Why decide to post now? Well, I want to, and I like sharing what I read over the weekend (no huge lists of books like on WWW Wednesday). So with no further comment, here are the books: It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? a place to meet up and share what…

After loving Possession (the novel) with a love that is more than love, I tentatively looked up Possession (the film), only to find that they cast Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart as Maud and Roland???? Which I have to assume means the directors either did not read or did not like the book. I have thus taken it upon myself to recast it. Anybody who fancies having a go at doing it again - properly this time - and has a TARDIS so that they can hire these actors at these stages of their careers, please heed my wisdom. I also have a lot of opinions about the tertiary characters but they would not fit in the post.

Roland - Iain de Caestecker c. 2020
