After the Storm

(Downton Abbey, Thomas Barrow/Duke of Crowborough)

Summary: In the aftermath of his suicide attempt, Thomas Barrow may have been given a brief reprieve but he’s still expected to find another position and leave Downton Abbey. When the Duchess of Crowborough unexpectedly visits the Crowleys, Thomas gets an offer he never imagined: to become the butler to the Duke of Crowborough, his long estranged lover.

Quicksilver in the Sun

(Lord John Series/Outlander, Lord John Grey/Percy Wainwright)

Summary:

It was rather symbolic, Percy thought, that the only visible token of a greater affection John had given him had been their initials drawn coupled together within a heart on his condensation-fogged window – an ephemeral gesture designed to disappear as though it had never been...

(A.k.a.: The product of my having read The Brotherhood of the Blade far too many times: the story from Percy Wainwright's pov (that no one asked for and no one will likely read, but hey) that I simply couldn't bear not to write any longer.)

The Deathless Divide

(Lord John Series/Outlander, Lord John Grey/Percy Wainwright)

Summary: Lord John Grey and Percy Wainwright come to the end of their lives, only to return to when they first began in 1758 with the gift (or curse!) of a second chance to choose a different path in life.

Keep in mind please, all these journalists in gaza and Palestinians who communicate what's happening in Gaza are communicating in English for a reason, accessibility. Us arab speaking and arabs and people in the Mena region understand all of it, know all of it, grew up with all of it unfolding, we know... They need you to know, they are speaking your language and accessible language for you to hear and share. It's easy to communicate through numbers and dehumanising reporting but storytelling and reporting is important and appealing to you through your language is another privilege you have yet to acknowledge.

They are risking their lives every day to provide you with what's happening. So there is no excuse for you to remain silent or to say you don't know enough to form an opinion. If journalists in gaza can go on delivering the news even after Israel wipes out their entire families, you can take minutes of your day to seek information. There is no neutrality in genocide.

To everyone who has lush fields ripe with story ideas but is struggling to go out and actually harvest them with your writer’s scythe: that’s alright. There’s a reason.

I see writers despairing or making self-deprecating jokes about how many wips they have, as if the ability to come up with the idea is equal to the ability to finish it out into an end product.

It isn’t.

A lot of our ideas come about, not because we were determined to be productive writers, but because daydreaming is an internal escape from life’s demands.

Writing is a demand, too.

Resting and relaxing are basic needs, unlike the high level, abstract satisfaction of being creatively productive. That’s why you might daydream (which is a mild and normal form of dissociation) ideas that you feel good about, and then struggle to research, write the words, fill plotholes, check grammar, revise— all the critical thinking and executive function things involved in creation. Your basic needs must be satisfied before your higher needs can be met effectively.

So, if you’re daydreaming about your stories extensively to mitigate stress, it’s expecting a lot of your stressed self to return from fantasy land, sit down in the cold hard real world and do the hard work to write masterpieces of literature. Those operations are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Writing is hard. Making yourself feel guilty is only going to make it harder. You don’t have to atone for entertaining or distracting your mind by making that available to other people. Daydreaming is a valid end in itself.

Don’t feel bad about having ideas but not being able to write them. Scribble some notes if you can, if you want, but above all enjoy the escapism and take care of yourself first. The words will come after.

I'm not saying that Scott Hope was right to spread the rumor that Buffy was a lesbian, but consider how his three episodes in Season 3 play out from his perspective:

  • He meets Buffy at the Bronze and asks her to dance, but instead she chooses to leave in rapid pursuit of some girl he's never seen before.
  • The next day he's walking out of class when he runs into that girl again (even though he must be pretty sure she doesn't go to his school), he recognizes her as Buffy's new friend and he's chatting to her when Buffy runs up and all but drags her away.
  • Once he actually starts dating Buffy, he notices that she's "distracted" all the time, she keeps giving him mixed signals about how serious she wants to take their relationship, and often runs off in the middle of conversations with the flimsiest of excuses
  • Also, presumably unrelatedly, she's spending a lot of time hanging out in the school library with that girl from before, who he now must know definitely doesn't go their school. They don't seem to be reading a lot of books.
  • After he breaks up with Buffy, he runs into the same girl again at the Homecoming dance (and, remember, she does not go to this school) and she seems to be really angry with him. If Scott asks around later, he might find out that she was there using the tickets that he and Buffy originally got for themselves.
  • A couple of months later, he might also hear that Buffy was in the middle of a chemistry test when the girl in question showed up outside and drew a heart on the window, and that Buffy responded by climbing out of the window and running off with her.

I mean, at this point, what would you think was going on?
