Well if ao3 is down, I guess that's a sign from the universe that I should be writing!

The penultimate chapter is now up! Ch. 17 is a long one! There's feels, smut, angst... Sooo pretty much Ben Solo's POV in a nutshell πŸ˜†

I lovedddd this story, so when I found it it was written by @peculiargalaxies.bsky.social I thought, "Ah yes, no wonder I liked it so much." Highly recommend 10/10

I'm at the point where whatever media I consume has to be mostly happy w a solidly happy ending for me to be able to sit through it. The world is a giant pile of shit, and I currently can't handle any art that is sad, boring, or depressing.

I love this whole take. I too find it awkward to "market" my own fics on socmed. My heyday of fic finding was via rec posts on tumblr, which is why I love the reylo community on bsky so much! But even still, I mainly just find fics by combing the reylo tag on ao3.

Been awhile since I’ve done one of these, and this is still an early draft but here’s a sneak peek from Ch. 16 of Song & Silence! #ReyloSSS

I’m not sure why this photo hits me so much harder than the one of him in his blue hat. Maybe because I’ve become desensitized to seeing people be arrested by ICE? But look at this sleepy little baby being held by his dad after they’ve been imprisoned for days. Absolutely FUCK this administration 😀

Dayum πŸ”₯ Got me wanting to reread one of my favorite reylo fics of all time: "It's a Long Way to the Top" by mzladybird

tiktok is an endless array of depressing, mind-numbing "look how bad everything is/will always be" type shit, and then I come on bluesky and it's all hopecore and good news. God I love this community.... Anyway don't forget to call your senators tonight!!!

Fellow ao3 authors, what's the deal? Are we just turning off guest comments entirely now? Because I got 5 guest comments on my last update, and I literally can't tell the difference between the real and the scammers anymore

The logic of algorithms tends to repeat what β€œworks,” but art opens up what is possible. Not everything has to be immediate or predictable. Defend slowness when it serves a purpose, silence when it speaks and difference when evocative. Beauty is not just a means of escape; it is above all an invocation. When cinema is authentic, it does not merely console, but challenges. It articulates the questions that dwell within us, and sometimes, even provokes tears that we did not know we needed to express.

Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope.

Yes, THAT Pope.

Sometimes when I sit down to write but don't really feel like it, I go to bsky and scroll my feed until I'm like "wait wait wait I have to go write about these two idiots right tf now"
