Update: The Girl and I are now girlfriends!!! We agreed to be so on Saturday, September 23rd, 2023 while waiting for a table at Noodlehead in East Liberty. Our dates last hours. We talk every day, all day. Our upcoming plans include vegetarian brunch and the Moulin Rouge musical, and in February we're going to Punxsutawney for the Groundhog Day celebration.

I'm ecstatic, I like her so much. I feel I can tell her anything about myself and she makes me feel appreciated and safe and like she's excited about me and us! I am so, so excited to see what happens next.

In other news, I started a very good "My career has Arrived" type of job in July. It is awesome, if a bit nerve-wracking.

Life is just going Well.

I'm age 30, sober, writing, and renting a house. Still single and not Crazy about my health right now but things could be worse! I love my boss and work is going okay. The cats are of course great and I own four pet mice now too!

Overall I'm just sorta trying to Do Life now, sober and all that. I'm reading a lot and attend a gay book club, on dating apps, trying to fill my time. I am content enough, someday I hope I'll be happy.

I am OK, first off! As of tomorrow, I am two weeks sober and I will be OK and I feel stronger. I am almost done with rehab, I think, and am persisting at my job and I'm moving to a townhome on December 1st.

Mostly right now I am mad because I am in a Bustafellows phase and I must've written 50k worth of fic at this point and I can't get these characters right. They all talk like assholes and I am sick of them!!! I desperately want to post something for this fandom, the perfect is the enemy of the good, etc. but I caaaaaaan't, it has to be riiiiiiight.

The ideas, in various stages of completion:

-- The post-apocalypse Crow/Teuta (mostly) fic, which is a completed first draft but desperately needs editing and is an iddy, gross, darkfic mess and honestly I'm a little embarrassed to let the freak flag fly as hard as this one does. Otherwise known as, "I Don't Really Ship Fixers M/M, But I Will Make An Exception For Trauma Bonds."

-- A novel set in an alternate history 1920s where Teuta is an alpha Duke with a harem of Fixer omegas. Class issues! Gender issues! A lot of pregnancies/babies! This one has it all, including the question, "Is this sex slavery? Probably." And Helvetica in dresses a lot more often. This one is about 1/5 done and it will be Long and I bought a book for research purposes and am learning I like the 1920s.

-- Some weird thing labeled in GDrive as "if prairie fires and mary penner's great grandson had a baby tbh." Basically: In a loose Western setting, Shu becomes indebted to a settlement of female separatists and the matriarch, recognizing him as Teach's son and thus A Good Boy, asks him to bridal kidnap her daughter, Teuta, before she can be married off for real to a Bad Man. Both he and Teuta reluctantly run away together and actually fall in love, the end. An excuse for romance novel-tier porn and happy ending with babies. The Love Comes Softly AU, if you will.

Are they all long as fuck? Obviously. Will I ever write a story set in the game's setting proper? Who knows. Will I return to Jawbreaker, the NG longfic? I hope so.

I Am Frustrated, But Will Persevere: A Story.

your girl just spent two weeks writing a 22k Bustafellows post-apocalypse road trip fanfic for Het Big Bang. Crow/Teuta because who do you think i am. but in my heart of hearts it's a reverse harem fic.

i am so proud of it but now i have to revise it!!!!! fuck!!!!!

"all these bitches call me Senpai"

2021-08-03T10:50:04Z

How long am I going to struggle to write Akira/Amanome/Hazuki having a virginal awkward threesome where they're trying so hard and it just isn't working lmfao.

Amanome, being his casual misogynist self: eating pussy is gross i could never
Akira: ok i will
Amanome: NOT THAT

See also: I'm writing a fic that is horribly indulgent about Amanome and Hazuki getting lavender married out of convenience to hide the fact that Amanome is gay/produce an heir for the Family. But of course they can't leave Akira out of it and dubcon him into polyamory. It's about 10k right now and Hazuki isn't even pregnant fkgfjdjfl. I might yammer about their three kids a ton. (Parentified Eldest Child, Resentful "Even Negative Attention Is Good Attention" Middle Child, Hazuki/Kijima Affair Baby Youngest w/ Extreme Self-Esteem Issues.)

Though I did love coming up with everyone's Yakuza tattoos (wives and daughters of Yakuza can get them according to my research even though they can't be Yakuza, Shoko Tendo wouldn't prove me wrong, it's just a matter of personal taste and individuality and I could write an essay on Hazuki's limited agency as a former idol and now Yakuza wife and how she feels about it):

-- Amanome: peonies and snakes to represent iirc wealth and immortality/protection, I thiiiink he has a copy of his father's "carp swimming upstream" tattoo on his right arm to honor dead Taizou
-- Akira: Momotarou fighting oni (for the NG Days)
-- Hazuki: Benten, patron of the arts and a fortune goddess, using her music to tame the dragon that becomes her husband, serpents trailing down her thighs

BASICALLY AM I GARBAGE, PERHAPS, BUT I AM HAPPY.

"i'm still young wastin' my youth"

2021-05-25T06:56:55Z

I'm alive, I'm okay. The shortlist of stuff going on:

-- Okay yes I may have adopted two, count 'em two, cats since I moved here. Harley, a tortoiseshell who's shy with everyone except me and the most loving girl in her own way (she lovebites constantly sob), and Sigma, a black-and-white chubby boy who is a dog in a cat's body (ADORES humans, hates to be away from them, loves food, loves climbing on my fucking stove and cries when I shower????). If you count 'Harley' as a reference to Tenmyouji's biker speech from VLR, both of them are Zero Escape kitties. Harley is still trying to figure out if she likes Sigma and this consists mostly of trying to play with him only to hiss and swat if he dares play back with her.

-- I started dating already and that is going well? I'm having fun and meeting nice girls. Nothing serious yet. In hindsight my last relationship should've ended two years ago so I'm not broken up about it ending at all. My ex wasn't a bad person, just wrong for me and I think I for her. We are no longer in contact.

-- I got dumped by a close friend and for a long time it really fucked me up. It does still hurt but it hurts less every day. I cherish the memories, good and bad.

-- I've reconciled with my younger brother and we're talking again. Love is had. Don't give up on people you care about.

-- Work is a shitshow where I'm well-liked so there's that. I appreciate the huge opportunity I've been given to be an official property manager and handle a full lease-up but, like, goddamn this is stressful.

-- I'm an aunt for the fourth time! My older brother had his first kid and he is adorable.

-- Got back on all my meds and am doing much better mentally, I think.

-- I am not writing much, just too busy with work and trying to get a social life here off the ground. I've been picked on and off at my Fandom 5k fic and an NG fic where Amanome/Hazuki have a lavender marriage and both bang Akira on the regular. Mostly it's an excuse for yakuza power trio and sickass tats and porn.

-- Overall, I would say I am doing better than I have been in years.

THE ULTIMATE VIVS' ZERO ESCAPE FIC TOP 10

2021-02-16T22:25:18Z

It's official: All my Zero Escape WIPs are discontinued and I've left the fandom. There was no drama or big reason, it's just that after 10ish years...I'm done. Told all the stories I feel like telling, made all the friends I'm going to make. I won't lie and say my personal reasons don't run deeper than this, but I have no desire to be a sourpuss here.

THAT SAID, I've posted 36 ZE fics on AO3 and thought I'd do a little Top 10 of my personal favorites, what I'd love for you to read if you dove into my own personal madness. Not including WIPs because that just seems unfair.

1. "Daffodil Like Yourself:" "When the Fields left SOIS, they left the esper cloak and dagger life behind. Three years later, Crash Keys drags them back in cursing and swinging. Hongou’s out of prison, First Nonary game players have all but vanished, and when Aoi and Light are the next ones kidnapped everyone has no choice but to cooperate in order to survive and foil a fatal plan." Aoi/Light, Seven+Junpei, Akane+Clover. What I consider to be the best fic I've ever written for this fandom.

2. "Man of three fears: integrity, faith, and crocodile tears:" "Junpei solves a murder and leans on his wife in the meantime." Junpei/Akane. Junpei solving a locked room mystery is good and I'm proud I managed to write this in drabbles.

3. "Leave It Unmapped:" "Phi asks Junpei for a big favor: To help her interrogate her mother about her past with Free the Soul. When they dig, they reveal something Phi can’t walk away from unchanged." Phi and Junpei gen. I LOVE PHI+JUNPEI, my headcanon duo forever and ever, and I love Phi Sr. and my and Lex's headcanon for her. This one got a really positive response and I'm very proud of it.

4. Splinter from the headboard in my eye:" "In one world, Carlos gets dragged into helping Aoi investigate a string of incendiary attacks on Crash Keys’ property, and stumbles across a larger mystery when he realizes he’s never meeting the same Aoi twice. In another world, Aoi just wants to stop constantly SHIFTing through time and space, protect his family, and resist falling for Carlos. These worlds intertwine and everything goes up in flames. A story told up, down, and sideways through time." Carlos/Aoi. My love of fire science and my love of Carlos/Aoi and time travel combined. I have a massive soft spot for this fic and how I told their surprise love story. Carlos/Aoi is my Aoi OTP after all!

5. "Seven Tricks Or Higher!": "While Akane is out of the country on official business, Aoi and Junpei are climbing up the walls. They try to kill time with sex, card games, musing on other histories, and ruining a perfectly good karaoke night. (Note: Aoi would like to apologize to Courtney Love for that last one.)" Aoi/Junpei. A present for a friend and a really fun story of Aoi and Junpei doing nothing in particular.

6. "I Can Be Your Long Lost Pal:" "It’s a long way from SOIS’ base to LAX, and Lotus and Seven decide to carpool. Along the way Seven proves he’s an expert at dodging questions about himself, but Lotus is persistent." Seven/Lotus. Originally written for a zine that never came to fruition, but I still love this one. I once got a compliment that I wrote Lotus really well and that stuck with me.

7. "Smoke, Mirrors:" "Junpei and Phi have a private investigation firm and no clients until one day they get two separate calls from newlyweds Aoi and Light, each asking them to spy on the other. Of course, neither party is one hundred-percent telling the truth about their reasons. Junpei and Phi would question the ethics of the situation, but if they did there would be fewer free steak dinners and less trust fund money." Aoi/Light, Phi and Junpei gen. This one is just fuckin' fun.

8. "eastbound, petrified forest:" "Diana and Carlos are given a car and a simple mission: Transport Crash Keys’ cargo from Point A to Point B, and don't get caught. "Falling in like" wasn't part of mission parameters, but it's welcome." Carlos/Diana. I LOVE CARDI AND I LOVE THIS FIC. I wanted to write something set in proper canon that didn't malign Sigma, and I think I did it here.

9. "Waltz of the Flowers:" "In a future where Dio succeeded, a young Left clone befriends the leftover relic of his conquest as she challenges his notion of happiness." Luna and Left Clone gen(?) I still feel like this one was slept on just saying.

10. "Starving for the Kind We Need:" "Akane and Phi will celebrate their anniversary come hell or high water." Phi/Akane. Because how can I not include Phi/Akane here???

And, well, close the curtain? I'm out, but I did have fun! Thank you all.

We've been under a winter storm warning for 39430 days now and now we have icy roads!!! Don't mind me if I start crying!!!! Why did I move to Pittsburgh!!!

I need a new car too and I want to cry because Jumpy, my car, is my baby.

Sadly we can't work from home today so here I go I guess!! Digging out my car for the umpteenth time!!!

"gladly i break that thread"

2021-02-08T11:04:23Z

I bought (almost) all the Nabari no Ou volumes I was missing and am plowing through a reread, please send help because I am back in RaiGau hell after Eleven Fucking Years. I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM AND HOW MARRIED THEY ARE!!! raikou silently begging gau to leave him, please help me. I want to write fic but specifically the fic I tried to write in ~2010 and never did finish about them rebuilding the Shimizu clan with Raimei. But because I have to revisit canon it's taking forEVER and I admit I'm just jumping to the parts that involve them in the manga. Also the fandom was Not A Great Place and that's bringing up a lot of negative feelings when I try to write.

in conclusion i swooned when in volume 12 raikou said "i won't let you touch him" to kouichi after he attacked gau.

"lovers dance"

2021-01-07T08:36:18Z

I'M ENGAGED! After a year of wearing matching 'promise' rings (with me considering myself engaged from that second tbh), Bre and I finally decided to be honest with ourselves about what we wanted, and I proposed to her properly on Tuesday. Obviously, she said yes. She started to cry; it really didn't hit me until hours later and then I wanted to scream. We've been together for four years and friends for seven.

Now I get to plan a wedding! I am so excited to marry her!!! I can't wait to go dress shopping aahhhhh. We've tentatively picked colors, possible dates (2022), location (just not venue), important songs, flowers, wedding parties (we agreed to have them, anyway, originally we were against it but I couldn't see myself without my Best Man), and size of the ceremony (under 30 people). We're aiming for something like what my college friends did by doing a small elopement-style ceremony with a brunch or dinner to follow instead of a reception. We're talking honeymoon but our dream is saving up and going to Japan.

We've told our friends but not our families yet because tbh our families are not terribly supportive, to be a downer for a second, so we're waiting to tell them.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

So I've been on this self-improvement-ish journey this year. I started by cutting out most social media (feel much better); committed to reading at least one book a month; I'm trying to quit drinking (it's Hard); and I started working out! I do mostly full-body strength training with kettlebells. I also got full-time hours at my job again. I committed to finishing my WIPs and I completed "Crashing in the Name of Science" after nearly four years!

I'm still burned out AF and gearing up for my annual Seasonal Transition Episode but I do feel a little bit accomplished.

Looking back I've accomplished way more than I thought I did. That's nice.

Now 12k words deep into something I may never post, but is worth writing because it makes me happy. It was supposed to be an epilogue to "Crashing" but has now become a whole sequel oops. Feat. cloning, criminal justice on the moon, and moon politics.

GUYS WRITING FANFICTION IS HAAAAARRRRD. that is all

well not really, I'm up at 6am (been up since 2am) working on "Fire Sermon." I finished chapter 15 and am moving on to chapter 16 before editing 15 at all to keep momentum. by my outline I see I have ~4 chapters to go including 16. I wish the prose were easier and the pacing, see above re: writing fanfiction. At least I got out of an arc that was frustrating me and back to the Home Timeline so we can get back to what's important, like Junepei.

I have a regular commenter! That is a nice feeling!

Unpublished first draft of a snippet of "Fire Sermon" that I don't wanna post on Tumblr yet:

“You could be a hero!” Akane exclaimed. “Why would you give that up?” Softer, “Give me up.”

“I love you,” Aoi said gently, “but they don’t. Love doesn’t hurt like this.”

Junpei looked between them, dazed and not sure who to go to. He remembered something: he didn’t belong here, and where he came from there were two people on this Earth who would never hurt him.

“Junpei,” Akane pleaded, “you want to come with me, right?”

Junpei stepped towards her, his mind spinning, and he felt Akane trying to take control of it, control of him. His brain screamed to let her.

“Of course I do,” he said, and then thrust the taser out in front of him and pulled the trigger.

Yes I adapted Luther's "Love shouldn't hurt this much" quote from Umbrella Academy and what of it.
