#im emotional#OTP: Better her than you#game of thrones#the one at the wedding gets me every time#the soft stroke down the backs of her knuckles#i wonder if she ever was comforted#were his touches taken as intended#a sign of comfort and care from someone didnt expect to comfort or care for her#or did she tighten and tense#a reflex from years of expecting abuse#was she waiting for the other shoe to drop every time he reached for her#or still yet was she numb to him entirey#he could offer her so little in the way of comfort#did she ever feel it#sansa stark and tyrion lannister have me SHOOK YALL#the ship i never expected to ship

if i didn’t say it when it was relevant, i’ll say it now: The Phoenix by FOB is the most Mad Swan song ever.

rogue one did a lot of things i never thought they’d let a star wars movie do, in terms of: being a movie about Sacrifice and what that means and also
letting people into the club.
like, rogue one opens star wars to people in a way i wasn’t expecting. american voices and american accents are not nearly so prominent in this movie in way i’ve never seen before in a work of science fiction– diego luna and donnie yen and jiang wen all speak english and they also speak it with their accents and there’s something to that, that opens ownership and possession and interaction with this movie to people who don’t speak english natively.
and so much of the plot, the thrust, of this movie focuses on
fathers and daughters in a way that left me just breathless. motherhood is still essentially absent in this movie, but
opening star wars to women who feel themselves as daughters feels so big to me, as someone who loved and loves star wars with her dad, this was so validating.
and also: rogue one gives a view into the rebellion as a military network; cassian andor is a soldier and a spy and he knows soldiers and spies and he does things, terrible things, in the name of the rebellion, because war makes you do terrible, ugly, violent things in the name of things you believe in. there’s a very real weight to the violence that happens in rogue one that meant So much to me. living your politics means sacrifice in such a big way in rogue one, and it opens the narrative of loss in force awakens so much more clearly. leia and han falling apart makes so much more sense now
but just also
rogue one is a movie about hope. and i mean that, not in some corny cheesey way but in a Real! Tangible! way. and because rogue one is a movie about hope, it’s a movie about sacrifice.
just
it is an audacious, beautiful thing and
it is a thing about hope.
doing genre research and
i mean is it just me or is the majority of popular fantasy novels with female protags YA?
notable exceptions of course just
would it be a pro or a con to write high fantasy with a main cast of adult women?
i have too many hobbies and not enough time
#personal#i want to read#i want to write#i want to take part in fandom#i want to binge watch new shows#i want to play video games#i want to play table top games#i also want to be good at my job#and be a good mom to my kids#i want to be a fun and attentive partner#and a good housekeeper#WHY MUST HUMANS NEED SLEEP#course the point is moot even if i didn't have to sleep i'd still find a way to not have enough time for all the things i want to do

i said i LIKED video games, dennis, i didn’t say i was GOOD at them
unrelated but i’ve really been missing fandom lately. the liveblogging, the rush to get gifs out, the speculation, the fic, people in my ask box asking my opinions on the latest, running my shipping side blogs, the meta. the community of it all.
i love and miss you guys
me: there's a writing convention coming up that's in [city]
mark: we should go. when is it?
me: in three weeks.
mark: yeah, we should go.
me: wanna know how much it is?
mark: how much?
me: 400 dollars
mark: maybe we should talk about it next year
this probably belongs over on the writing blog but it’ll get more views soooooo
what’s the deal with the writing convention circuit?
i just did a quick google search and discovered that there is one in my metro area in three weeks
and at first i was like hecka yes imma go until i saw the pretty pricey cost of two day admission
so now i’m just like. okay first before i commit a buncha money on short notice, lemme ask (somewhat hypothetically since i don’t know if anyone who follows me would know either): what’s the deal with the conventions? is it something i should go to? especially considering i’ve only JUST gotten started? there’ll be a buncha lectures/classes that i’m interested in but from what i can tell the biggest draw for these things is networking.
and lets be real i’m really bad at that, and also i just started writing i don’t see much point in networking if i’m many many months out from a potential product
or am i thinking about this in too linear a way?
send help i am the bads at this
Me, soaking in as many cheap kindle fantasy novels as possible

Me: get over it
Third male character: Gary Stu the strongest and best of his kind, makes heart eyes at girls who hate him
Me: physically has to put the book down and walk away because I can’t
first female character: exists
Me: SWEET ANGEL, MOON OF MY LIFE
