It was something, alright.

Anyways, despite all the weird, creepy, kinky stuff I've read over the years, those fics certainly were up there among the most disturbing things I've read.

Seriously, though, that fic seemed to shift from fantasy to horror as soon as he converted. And I remember checking their other fics...

... and every single one was like that. Halfway through, it would switch to Christian propaganda.

Gotta say though; nothing quite made me so enthusiastic to leave the church as fast as that fic did. They nailed the creepy cult vibes. The character 180. The abrupt, now constant judgement and weird, pushy demands that follow.

At that moment, I had a firm understanding of what propaganda was, and a great disgust for it, as it ruined an otherwise perfectly good fanfic.

Though if the writer actually wanted to emphasize how out of place/creepy Christian propaganda is in the real world, they certainly succeeded.

Writing some dialog about faith and having vivid flashbacks to a CCS fic I read at least 16 years ago. It started off really cool (by young me's standards) and then halfway through Syaoran converted to Christianity and tried to "save" all the other MCs from witchcraft/magic/the powers of Satan.

I beat a malfunctioning smoke detector to death today.

In completely, totally, 100% unrelated news, I can now barely hear out of my right ear, which really really hurts.

Me: I need to finish Fires of War and start on Made of Marble.

Also Me: But what if I laid out a 100k Ascendance of a Bookworm fanfic?

They'll probably be fine. Though if you leave them alone too long, they might just have to learn to use the stove.

Lol I jinxed myself

*grabbing you by the shoulders* ohmygodyes thisissogood thank you very much for sharing aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I am not some sweet summer white boy—I am a bitter man trapped in the winter of my own discontent and I crave HEAT.

I have a SYSTEM for cooking spicy food. I have RULES. Minimum five types of chili. Two types of oil to balance delivery—one must be spiced oil. (I have three options for spicy oil.) flavors need to be chosen to hit all at different times, so each flavor can be tasted individually.

These new shops don't know I have a literal one-foot cube for overflow spices in my pantry, half of which consists of chilis/peppers. I restock it regularly because I run out. I buy everything in bulk. I've given up on the pantry for some and just keep bulk bags on top of the spice rack.

Something I miss about the last city I lived in was the Thai food places I went to knew better than to clock me as White when I ordered spicy food.

(Context: I have been given mild takeout and miss my favorite Thai food cart man. I miss his pumpkin curry so bad.)

Cannot emphasize how great it is to be living during the Buff Tifa Renaissance. I am greatly enjoying your quality taste, thank you.

I really hate that it takes a week to fix half a chapter layout for Fires of War and half a day to write a third of a chapter for Made of Marble.

I wanna keep rereading TMO, but I would also like to write SOMETHING this month.

I've reopened my original novel series. God help me.

I'm tired. I'm dead inside. I might need the joy of a new project to feel alive again. And I know that's the devil speaking, but god damn it, I'm in Hell and that's all the company I'll get down here.

This is gonna sound totally weird, because you know the creators were prob going for a Girlboss BDSM thing, but the way she sits reminds me of how I sit. I have a rotated pelvis that's fused to my spine. My options are sitting like a haughty Japanese woman or criss-cross-applesauce.

Just a headcanon, but I think she was so competent that other researchers tried to have her killed. So she killed them. This would explain why she's flanked by military personnel instead of other researchers.

I'm also 100% convinced the dude under her feet volunteered to be here.

This.

And if I may add: She's also not afraid to do her own dirty work when it comes down to it, and and that is an A+ quality in a section manager, IMO.

Draft 55 of Fires of War seems to be the winner, so far. (I hope I'm not jinxing myself.)

👿❤️

I've been building too many castles in Sims lately, but I've also managed a few writing marathons. Hopefully I'll be able to post something soon.

I'm already knee deep in projects. Don't you fucking tempt me. (Gnawing on this in my mind.)

My rabbit survived surgery, but it's up in the air whether or not I'll survive the bill. (i will. I'm just being dramatic.)

Lovely, thank you.
