I got three wonderful gifts at [community profile] fandomgiftbasket over here, including the icon I used for this post!!

[personal profile] spikedluv wrote a super cute Kate/Yelena (MCU) fic called Pretzels and Pizza where Clint and Bucky figure out Kate & Yelena are dating and are so cool about it.

[personal profile] scintilla10 wrote a really evocative Rosa/Isobel (Roswell New Mexico) drabble called constellations, and the prose is so pretty!

I wrote two gifts: a short fic for the LOVE ME HARD music video and a short domestic fic called pillowtalk ft. Irulan/Chani/Paul from Dune.

I didn't sign up for [community profile] trickortreatex this year, but I'm having fun reading the collection anyway. Some recs:

water-bearer, Arthurian Mythology, Galehaut/Lancelot du Lac.
I just love how this seems to fit the canon, plus the pining is so gentle but no less intense.

These External Manners of Laments, 9-1-1 Lone Star, Owen/Billy.
Great Billy angst with a very supportive Owen.

cross my heart and hope to die, Music RPF, Towa Bird/Reneé Rapp.
This filled in so many lore gaps for me!! Plus I loved how the author wrote the same events in both points of view.

Spooky Tales: Super cute art of Abigail from Stardew Valley telling a story.

It Takes Two...: Beautiful art of Morticia and Gomez Addams dancing.

It Happened That Night, MCU/DCEU Crossover, Natasha/Diana.
A super fun idea. I love the trope that anyone might show up at a Stark party :D

Take a test.

I'm only a little disappointed I'm not working the polls tomorrow. Only a little, because as much as I'd wanted to get out and participate, I know calling off was the right thing to do. I'm coming off a nasty cold - four negative rapid tests since last Wednesday night, including one this afternoon, seem reasonably trustworthy - and while I'm mostly recovered, working the polls for the full duration tomorrow wouldn't do me any good. It's hard enough when I'm completely healthy.

What I'm finding amusing about this is one of my clients reached out and because I'm not working the polls and the physical demands will be significantly less with far fewer hours, I'll be working with her tomorrow afternoon, which means I've basically gone from the public to the private sector.

Tears and conversation

When was the last time you cried in front of another person?

For me it was on the phone with my friend [personal profile] nyyki when Ghost decided to go basically no-contact with me in the beginning of September. (In my estimation, phone conversations absolutely count as crying in front of someone.)

I’m over the emotional immediacy of the feelings of bewilderment, abandonment, and betrayal. I still miss him and I really desperately miss the kitties sometimes, but I can deal with having been lied to about whether we would stay friends. I can deal with having given someone six months of space and had them instead of telling me that that wasn’t enough space just decide to cut contact completely. I can deal with not understanding why Ghost decided to stop growing or changing as a person. It’s not ideal, and I don’t deal well with not knowing important things that affect my life, it makes me neurotic and overthinky but it’s … well, it’s not fine, but it’s more disappointing and aggravating at this point and less the emotional equivalent of a freshly-broken toe. (Broken toes also make me cry. I can bear bad fibro flares like an adult, but broken toes make me tear up like an overstimulated toddler when something feels unfair.)

Thanks for sticking with me so far.

So really: when was the last time you cried in front of someone? Feel free to comment here or to DM me or to ping me on other contact platforms. Anywhere you like, if you want to have a meaningful discussion about who you are, or what we have in common, etc..

Oi! Tudo bem?

Nascida em 2002, sou assexual, multirromântica, preta, carioca da gema e bastante revoltada com os governos estadual, nacional e mundiais.

Gosto de gatos, cozinhar, gargalhar alto. Gosto, também, de Grand Chase, Seventeen, alta fantasia e não-ficção.

Como todos os outros, sou uma miríade.

Finquei meus pés na blogosfera em 2018, lançando o blog Anotações Esparsas, cujo qual eu viria a coautorar com o Carlos, um colega meu, até eu me retirar da equipe. Como poderá ler no texto: “Com anos de atraso, hoje eu me apresento a vocês”, deixei o AE porque cresci para além dele, embora minha proposta com o EON seja quase idêntica.

Minha proposta de falar de fanfics, fandom e cultura de fãs continuará, porém com a adição positiva de mais de mim. Mais do que escrevo, mais do que penso, e, principalmente, mais do que sou. Por aqui, você, fanfimor, lerá sobre minhas fics, e das releituras que eu fizer, e artigos tratando das opiniões que eu me reprimi compartilhar publicamente por tantos anos.

Como estou adulta — para o meu pavor —, espere por publicação lenta. Minhas prioridades serão minha carreira e minha vida pessoal, então escrever para blog será terciário, por vezes quaternário. Quando o influxo alcançar o estopim, darei as caras por aqui para extravasar um pouco. Não sei escrever demais, e não sei ficar sem escrever. Estranho como são as coisas, não?

No âmbito de escrever e postar fanfics, não tem diferença; escreverei devagar, postarei quase nunca. Dito isso, a feitiçaria que a KOG Studios fez não me deixa sair do fandom, e, por isso, as chances de eu postar uma oneshot ou shortfic são baixas, mas nunca zero. Se eu não estiver fazendo isso, então estou quebrando a cabeça com minha longfic Lass/Elesis — ‘O conto inscrito na lâmina’. Quando der na telha, comento dela por aqui.
