(yes, I am working on an English paper, I swear)

...and noticing that not only did my smut scenes tend to be a bit abrupt (which had been mentioned, and is something I've worked to improve), but that I can be a bit continuity intensive.

Just because I have read every comic this character is in, or read three books and a number of academic papers on this topic, does not mean all of those details have to be in the resulting fic.

The iceberg theory of research really is something I could stand to take on board.

I listen to music a lot while studying, and often just click on whatever whatever on YouTube Music's "new releases" page, which has been more or less working out.

I'm still listening to Something Beautiful (Deluxe) by Miley Cyrus a lot, might be my favourite album this year. Though Noah's new album is up there (haven't listened to the Deluxe of that yet, which is still a concept I hate).

Vivek Shraya has a new... whatever her style is... EP out, New Models, which has been enjoyable, though I've only listened to it a couple times through. It's refreshingly direct, which is kind of her thing.

I don't have Taylor Swift thoughts, other than I enjoy that "Cancelled" seems to be about Blake Lively, that's giving a lot of people a big mad, and now Blake and Taylor are wearing each other's jewellery like exceptionally rich twelve year old girls.

Doja Cat's Vie has been a lot of fun! I don't think I like it as much as

OlurinattiMUSIC does in her review, but it's fun to vibe along with. I like Doja Cat's rapping a bit more than her singing (which is lovely! I just find her rap style really compelling, and would like more of it), so didn't like this as much as Scarlett, but still have it in rotation. "Paint the Town Red" is still the one stuck in my head, though.

I think William Prince is leading up to a new album, which I'm very excited about. I wasn't that into his last couple projects, and am hoping this one will be more like Reliever. The first few singles are promising.

Might be getting something new from Burnstick, also \o/

So I've got "Paint the Town Red" by Doja Cat stuck in my head. What about y'all?

t 2025 story (Mayfair Mall construction site.)
Now I realize how very, very this yells into the ear: Gen X. This includes 2 dollar bills and later one tomato soup can (dented) became birthday cake and she got a pair of too-large second hand jeans (useful next year!) main Protagonist lies to the police with impunity, even panache when someone saw us playing in the construction site of a nearby mall-to-be… this is the way GenX are portrayed and we’ll take responsibility of our responsibilities.
Then the freaking out. Not much else but a breeding ground for ignorance and heartlessness. Hence the use of the most dangerous and harmful symbol- and in life- these people grew up and have been voting about something so divisive and shameless! Oh Palpatine’s lapdog that’s all they think they want to be and wtf. Theatrical blood. Victims of a lack of safety and guidance. And that sounds a bit Millennial, that is, the apple didn’t get that far from the tree.

Lottie was one of the guys. She venerated me, wanted to be just like me. We wandered around, and she tripped people or grabbed their books and lost the page, and always wanted to start a fight, but never lost one. Hypocrite. It worked because the guys refused to touch her except to grasp her forearms and push her back (not hard enough). She played at construction sites.
