Summary: The front of the postcard is a photograph of a brown bear holding its own feet. The back is postmarked from Wyoming. The writing is blocky and smeared with dirt.

We’re alive. They’re watching you. Be careful. We’ll explain when it’s over. Love you lots.

This is an un-beta'd sketch of something slightly larger that I would like to do, because holy shit Amanda is so cool and I loved all of her mildly ominous scenes with the forest witch.

I think I’m depressed - not the sad kind, but the blunting of emotions and affect kind. It’s probably a combination of life events (grad school and upcoming travel and work and money and friends and feelings) and also it’s winter in Boston, and I don’t get a ton of daylight.
It’s a relief to realize that, honestly, because it means I can take care of myself accordingly (instead of flailing about trying to figure out what’s broken this time). M is great about nagging me to take my meds and eat food, so I’m in good hands.
I‘m working on the follow-up to the Will Byers Gets Nice Things fic, the thesis of which is “A family can be nine-maybe-ten teenagers and two four adults, and that’s okay”.
- there is fallout from Mike and Eleven and Will being not great at hiding their weird relationship triangle
- there is Steve being awkward at Jonathan and Nancy and having confusing feelings in that direction
- there are MANY sibling feelings. There are so many sibling and family relationships to parallel
- there is Joyce and Hopper coparenting and Joyce and Becky Ives trying to bond
I also dove headfirst into Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency on the recommendation of a friend and both of my siblings. I’m waiting to finish the second season with said friend, because I need someone else to scream with me about all of the main characters. I find it likely that I will write fic for it at some point, but I need to finish the story before I decide where to go.
- It will probably be to the tune of Amanda-saves-the-universe because holy shit, I love Amanda so much and that prophecy was good for me
- I kind of ship Farah and Tina, a little bit. I think they’d be positive influences on each other. (I think Tina ships Farah and Tina, too, but I also get the impression that she ships herself with everyone)
- I love love love that the reaction of almost everyone who meets Farah is “wow she is so cool” followed by “wow she is so weird”.
I am still poking at In the Bone Garden! It will be done this year, hopefully before Halloween. I don’t think that anyone cares aside from, uh, maybe my horror movie crew, but *I* care. I need it to exist outside of my head.
I’ve rediscovered My Chemical Romance, as I do periodically, and (a) my vocal range lines up really nicely with their songs now! (b) Welcome to the Black Parade is still on another level, damn son
