Note to my fellow piano players - don't try to pedal with a broken toe.
It isn't sustainable.

My submission to Rusty Fears 6 got an Honourable Mention!
Congrats to the winners and to my fellow runners-up!
If you DIDN’T win but still want to share your story, post it on Ao3 and add it to this collection so it’s easier for others to find!
Ooh congrats on your honourable mention!!!! Super awesomely done :D
Also, a collection is a great idea! I’ve just posted my entry into it, though it’s also available on my own website.
‘Blink’, written for the prompt ‘Telescope’.
Observation Notes - 12am: Potential visual anomaly identified at Right Ascension 2h 09m 12s, Declination 89° 34’ 27”.
No astronomer fears the dark spaces that they blindly prod with their cold glass eyes, heedless of what they might meet in those far, fathomless depths.
No astronomer fears the dark. How many have wondered if they ought to.

Who has the biggest dick in the Archives and why is it Martin?

stating to think there’s an inverse correlation between how good media is and how easily fandomizable it is 😁
cadetcrusher
good media should make you stare at wall for 2 hours instead of immediately starting shippings wars and coffeeshop au and slowburn fics
no no you’re not wrong but also
there’s a reason for this.
My personal theory is that if Media is REALLY good, there isn’t really… space, if you will for fans to add or change perspectives on it. Too dense, too complete. Like how coral won’t grow on plastic because it’s too smooth
Whereas some half-baked hot garbage has got ALL KINDS of plot holes, incomplete characterization, warped timelines, missing worldbuilding and other Spaces for fans to colonize, like coral growing on a sunken battleship.
And then if a series just sucks too much, it’s not fun to interact with at all, and people won’t fandomize it because it’s toxic. Like how coral won’t grow on sunken piles of burnt-out tires.
I call this the Fandom Barrier-Reef Theory.

I CANNOT scream loudly enough that you Hannibal people are disgusting! There’s no way that your kind can possibly by kind or nice or anything like that because you LITERALLY glorify toxic relationships, cannibalism, and hyperviolence! You may have fooled other people but all of your souls are black and TAINTED! It’s disgusting! No morals! Stop acting all high and mighty, what you watch isn’t art, it’s FILTH. Fuck you and your little cannibal friends, you’re all DISGUSTING
reblog if your soul is black and tainted, you have no morals, and are disgusting
I also watch Dexter and listen to truecrime podcasts. I’m Cthulhu himself!
@lactobacille @tumbleweedforyou shoutout to my first and truest cannibal friends, who do cannibal things with me on the regular
Hi, fellow disgusting and tainted friends!!!!
Shoutout to @sherlocks-freebitch too.

Editing and Proofreading Services
Humans and gentlefolk,
Due to recent developments at my company that caused it to change from a fairly decent workplace to a dysfunctional mess, I have handed in my notice and am attempting to switch entirely to freelance editing. It’s easier said than done though, and since tumblr is my only social media platform, I figured I’d post here first.
I’ll edit anything and everything—theses and dissertations, journal articles, novels, short stories, blog posts, etc. All genres and any level of mature content are welcome.
These are my rates (in USD) for the services offered:
- Proofreading: $0.02 per word
- Editing: $0.04 per word
- Manuscript Review: $0.03 per word
- Formatting: $0.005 per word
For further details on what each of these entails, please visit the pricing page on my newborn blog. You can DM me with any questions or for clarifications. You can also email me.
I offer sample edits of 300 to 1000 words (depending on the document type and length) so that you can get an idea of how I edit before committing.
Payments are accepted via PayPal. Once you place an order, I’ll get in touch with you to discuss and finalize the finer details.
And last, but certainty not least, a mountain of awe and gratitude to @kocuria for creating that beautiful logo. Her art gets more stunning each time I blink, and I can’t thank her enough for this gift 💗
Whooooooooooo this is me! I am the author of this story that was one of the winners of Rusty Fears 5, just released in audio on The Magnus Archives feed!
As well as this episode read by the amazing Karim Kronfli, this story is also available to read on my newly launched website. So newly launched, I literally put it up about 3 hours before I got the first email from Rusty Quill. It was an exciting evening for me.
My website includes several other original short stories, one of which being my Honourably Mentioned entry for Rusty Fears 4. On top of prose (and occasionally poetry), I also write and develop solvable mysteries and printable puzzle games, which are available for free download. So, check those out if you’re up for a challenge ;)
My twitter, meanwhile, is also brand new.
Horror fiction has been an incredibly fun genre to write and I’m glad Rusty Quill gave me a chance to play with it with their prompts. I owe thanks to many friends for helping me workshop this, including @veryobscureblue.
Stay spooky, fellas. Super keen to hear the rest of the winners!

Sitting here wondering how the Magnus Archives might have played out differently if Martin had accidentally let a cat into the office instead of a dog.
kitty :-)
(i made this frantically in 10 minutes please ignore rushed art and handwriting)
“Martin, is that you? I swear if he’s brought another cat in here... let me see!”

It’s not exactly that people don’t work late at the Institute, despite the organisation’s cheerfully aggressive promotion of work-life balance. Deadlines are deadlines, after all, no matter where you work, so someone in the breakroom at 8pm isn’t that out of the ordinary. It’s just that Martin is pretty sure he knows exactly who is in the breakroom and judging by the stream of consciousness swearing and the smell of booze drifting gently up the corridor, it’s been yet another team building afternoon for the hardworking employees of the Archive. Martin briefly debates going back to his desk-he’s in no hurry to leave after all, there’s entirely too much time to think at home- but thinks better of it when he hears a loud thump, with a chaser of more swearing. He’ll just glance in, just briefly, to make sure Jon isn’t actively dying, just a super quick glance, and Jesus fucking Christ is that blood?
Martin stands in the doorway with his mouth open, taking in the scene in front of him. Jon seems to have decided looking half dead wasn’t working for him and has now graduated to looking mostly dead, swaying on his feet and pressing a commemorative tea towel to his bleeding shoulder.

Could you draw Peter and Elias at either their first meeting or their first wedding? Thank you!!!
First marriage it is!! Simon took the picture, its the only picture Peter has on the Tundra of him and Elias, likewise its the only picture Elias has framed on their apartment.
Side note, Peter hates his hair on that picture since Elias insisted on his actually doing something nice with it for their wedding.

happy first contact day! Thought I would re-cap Solkar’s thought process during this momentous historical moment since vulcans kiss with their hands.

Hannibal is the funniest show to ever air because Hannibal is supposed to be this quiet, polite, unassuming doctor that nobody would suspect, like when he kills someone in his office in “self defense” and everyone is like “wow...you took him down in a fight? That’s crazy.” But the problem is they cast Mads Mikkelsen who is in fact six feet tall and like 200 pounds and built like a brick house in a well tailored suit so Will Graham is like “he MURDERS people”
and everyone else is like “him?? Hannibal??? How could you say that?” And then it cuts to Hannibal in his fucked up library and his fancy suits with his steel tree trunk arms looking absolutely like THE most menacing human being to have ever walked the earth.

this show exists in an alternate reality where we the viewer have to accept that someone could say “there’s something off about that guy” and then people who have spent their whole lives profiling dangerous murderers sit down in a library with this man
and are like, “I honestly don’t see what you mean”
