I will never regret you.

Someone Wicked - acoustic demo

for @artsyunderstudy who is a fierce artist, author, and friend (I don't mind saying) (read her lovely fic by the same name here)

Weak knee, weak heart Weak faith falling apart But it was her’s it wasn’t mine, it wasn’t mine Betrayed myself for the last time

Cause I’ve got shame around my neck For things I’ve never done but I still regret I want mistakes I want ‘em now, I want ‘em now Think those lips could show me how

Someone wicked for the night With something wicked to try With someone wicked for an hour, or two, or three To get me free

So I’ll drain my bank account Sweet taste to end this drought And through my mess you are kind, you are kind In my blood like holy wine

Someone wicked for the night With something wicked to try With someone wicked for an hour, or two, or three…

I will pay for you like I prayed for you are you thinking about me too? Every moonlit room couldn’t come too soon when I shake by the afternoon. Sight, touch, sound, change, I am half my age. I am old. I am breaking new. You make me feel alive my—

Someone wicked for the night With something wicked to try With someone wicked for an hour, or two, or three… An hour, or two, or three… An hour, or two, or three…

BIG SHOUTOUT TO @artsyunderstudy FOR THEIR AMAZING FIC!

She finally finished Someone Wicked, so for those who only read completed stuff, go read it right now! It's fantastic!

Literally art. I love it so much. And also love the actual art. She's so talented.

Thanks Ashton! You're a gift to the fandom <33

Also hope you don't mind me promoting it. I just loved it so much :]

an artist i follow got an ask about whether it was alright to use their art as covers for fanfic bookbinding and i'm. sorry i must have missed this discourse but since when are people outright printing out other people's work and binding them into books? do you contact and get author's permission (sure as fuck hope so)? and how do we writers feel about that, because i certainly feel very uncomfortable with that idea. i mean not to spoil the artistic expression of bookbinding because it's beautiful work that i most certainly could not do, but. you can access them stories any time you want on the websites where they were originally posted. why print them? again i mean i get the pleasure of holding & reading physical books, i much prefer that too, but like. get some books i guess? sorry i come from a place of honesty and tbh surprise and confusion about this whole thing. someone tell me how we're feeling about this. someone explain to me why it's being done. i just wanna understand

Taryn: Put yourself in my shoes.

Cardan: I would never wear those.

The 2023 American Girl Doll of the Year is Kavi Sharma, a South Asian American theatre kid who loves Wicked SO SHE HAS A REPLICA ELPHABA COSTUME. I am absolutely ecstatic that kids get this.

edit: SHE ALSO HAS A GLINDA COSTUME

SHE ALSO HAS THIS!! BECAUSE SHE PERFORMS A TRADITIONAL DANCE ROUTINE WITH HER FRIENDS AT SCHOOL AND SHE LOVES BOLLYWOOD

Although I pictured Jude a certain way (physically) while reading the books, it really doesn't make much difference to the romance aspect of the trilogy. They didn't struggle with their feelings because Jude was ugly/plain/gorgeous. They struggled because their stations in the social hierarchy were polar opposites, yet they both resented each other. Cardan was a prince who saw his station as a play. He had no support network, his guardian beat him for fun, his friends were just using his birthright to get away with being turds. When Jude looked at him, she saw a spoiled prince who did whatever pleased him, blessed with being born into it and reminding her she would never be like them. And then Jude, who saw herself as human/weak/lesser than. Who spent 10 years letting insults slide and hiding under tables in hopes of raising enough in the hierarchy to - even if not truly belong there - at least be left the fuck alone. Cardan looked at her and saw the General's favoured daughter, raised as Gentry, never in rags or forgotten if she were to sleep on stables. Jude reminded Cardan what he did not have despite being a prince.

how much does chlorine affect frogs? i got a frog out of my cousins' pool yesterday and i wonder if the pool water made it sick

amazingly, this is a very poorly researched subject, and quick searches yielded basically no answer to your question in the scientific literature. But the general answer is it affects frog skin a lot, and if the exposure is prolonged or repeated, the frog will die. Permeability of different frog species' skin is different, so bufonids for instance apparently do better than others, but still it is very bad for them.

Edit:How long is too long? How many times is too many times? As far as I can tell, nobody knows. Some have commented that recovery can be enhanced by rinsing in fresh water afterwards.

me: "dw mom ill use my iPad for studying"
