Ms Eerie

Touching his bicep while he's flexing it might fix me.

Uninstalled Tiktok to try and be more productive.

I will need someone to DM me if Buddie goes canon.

Oh, and in spite of washing off easily during last week's testing, the food colouring is now somewhat stained on my fingers, which bodes well for the fact I have coated my chin in it

Blatent Bad Place repost klaxxon!

Doomed by the Narrative?
No, Steve is doomed to be IN the narrative.

Even when he bails from Hawkins, he just continuously stumbles into other types of story and shenanigans.

I mean, it wouldn't be entirely out of character. Dan would 100% be in the Sister Daniel habit

And I just realised fucking autocorrect turned "parasocial" into paranormal, FML

!!!! They explicitly answer in the first minute

YouTube video by Dan and Phil Is Phan Real? The Truth

youtu.be/Cxe_YMJ4nUs?...

I am not immune to paranormal relationships because I just screamed SO LOUD over the Dan and Phil confirmation

Having a career in IT sure is... something...

Anyone got recs on how to add realistic bloodstains to a shirt (cosplay, I swear)? Most fake blood is more targeted at on skin application.
I'm planning on cosplaying Remmick at MCM at the end of the month

What the hell! Like sorry I don't want to give you my bug, damn

To the shock of very few, getting a bit more sleep caused an almost immediate improvement (this is not as simple a solution as it may seem as I have suffered insomnia pretty much from birth). It isn't Gone but it is Better.

Just as I was starting to feel like I was getting my shit together, here comes Seasonal Depression with the steel chair. FML.
It's especially fucking rude because Oct-Nov-Dec is often my favourite time of year & now my stupid brain won't let me enjoy it.
(It will pass and I will be fine but ugh)

I mean... how exactly are we classifying "know"...?

I started it, but I don't think I did as good a job of it as I could have... a lot of scenes were just beat-for-beat "Lost Boys... oh and Steve and Eddie are there". If I was to continue it, I'd probably want to overhaul it and start over completely

Bio-oil is good for helping with marks - I usually apply it over my other body lotion (salicylic acid). If you have any glycolic toners, you can also use those, just be careful it's not too dry/irritating

I have no business skills/acumen whatsoever but if I did I would totally set up a company doing this. I feel like it could be helpful (and let's be real, make bank) with the neurospicy/spoony crowd

Obviously the whole time fucking sucked, but in 2020 a lot of UK supermarkets would sell a box of basically a week's groceries. It was one size fits all and obviously FA good if you had specific dietary requirements but I wish that was still a thing, it took so much brainspace out of restocking

That's true! I shall pivot my thinking towards these being an investment to my mental health...

Tell me why in the same month I swore I'd be more sensible with my money, I have bought tickets for both MCR and Florence and the Machine's London shows next year...

9-1-1 thoughts (I said I wasn’t working on any FIC until my ST WIP was done, shut up).

An influencer comes to the 118 firehouse (maybe maggot girl) to do a fluff piece, and catches footage of Bobby and Buck cooking together.

The Internet goes FERAL for them and it goes super viral.

*Deep breath*
The Prologue to Season 4 of The Future Mrs Harrington... has just been posted, along with a long apology for taking so feckin' long:

archiveofourown.org/works/455460...

I think that realistically I probably won't be able to finish all of my ST WIPs as the hyperfix left the building last year. But once TFMH is done, I will at least try and finish The Care and Feeding of Feral Teenagers and my crossovers.
If I can, I'll probably totally rewrite the Lost Boys one

And to be clear, I am the only one of whom's sins I speak. Everyone else's work is without flaw. Only I have committed crimes against the English language for which I must be punished. (I don't even know, I'm in a weird mood)

Yay! I don't know how apparent the edits will be (in some places it really is just grammar corrections) but I hope it reads a little smoother

And yes, some of these are more personal preference. Plus, it's nice to have a comparison for my quality of writing. But holy crap I'm having to fight the urge to go in and fix some issues...

"WHY DO YOU KEEP SWITCHING TENSE?!"
"How did you keep fucking up dialogue tags this badly?"
"Ah, I see we have decided to randomly switch POV in the middle of a scene. That's not confusing at all."
"It's bad enough that you keep misspelling Jonathan, but you keep doing it INCONSISTENTLY."

Relatedly, rereading my older ST fics, from when I was in the pits of severe MH issues and also hadn't spent two years and ten grand becoming a (slightly) better writer yet has been an exercise in grace and patience towards my (slightly) younger self.

*Peeks out from behind the door to my crypt*
I've been editing the posted chapters of The Future Mrs Harrington to drag my ass back onto it. Mostly just copy edits, but... progress?
I am DETERMINED that I won't be working on any other fic until I have made, at minimum, a solid dent in S4.
