I went into a fugue state and cartooned my feelings at reading this passage. I have floppy dark hair and round glasses. My head is tilted back, my mouth wide open, steam billowing out of it looking like a smoke stack. Mr Darcy’s words hang prominently around me. 

“In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”

While Charma was dominant from 1979 to 1985, Charmuro did exist, though to a more unconventional and sometimes heartbreaking degree. In Vol. 3 & 4 of Norinetto by The Evil Women's Publishing Bureau, Amuro is cucked constantly by Char with Garma. Illustrated by Takeru Wakaba in 1982.

The fact that Vampire Princess Miyu is releasing with zero cover art due to the JPN side taking forever and the licensing period running out is so wild. Funny how Schodt talked about this in the 80s/90s for the Gundam novels, and the red tape is even worse today... mediaocd.com/product/vamp...

fic wip wthursday. shadowplay 11. treacly angst because it's my birthday week and i'm treating myself.
He Xuan found himself in the courtyard of a stately house. It was not unlike the Nether Water Manor, but the sun shone undimmed and the furnishings were bright, which made it not unlike the Palace of Wind and Water, though this was the mortal world. He was dressed presentably, in the sable colours of a civil servant.

He heard snatches of a familiar voice. The other words were unintelligible, but she called for him. He Xuan’s heart leapt with joy, and he was afraid.

He stole into the nearest passage, seeking a place to hide. He knew his way around; it was his house. But his movement was sluggish, as though his limbs were held back by invisible forces, and his pursuer drew near; it was her house, too. 

Arms wound around his torso, and he sagged in on himself instinctively, as if protecting his organs. A face pressed against his back. 

“Found you,” she said sweetly.

He Xuan sank to his knees. Terror melted into despair. 

Miao’er laughed, and came around to the front of him. His hands were splayed, covering his face, and she touched them. He Xuan tucked his chin against his chest, like a child, in case she would try to peel his hands away and see him, but she only held him by the back of his head and pressed him close, his forehead against her belly. His hands fell away. He knelt as would a petitioner or a penitent. His wife petted his hair. It had come undone; it fell about his shoulders unbound, like that of a corpse. 

Renewed anxiety seized him. He looked at his hands, and He Xuan realized that he was not the imperial scholar to whom this manor belonged. He Xuan looked like a dead woman. The dead woman who was He Xuan pressed her face into the folds of her wife’s skirt in an effort to escape being seen and to escape seeing her: the way she would look at He Xuan and the blurry mess that was her face (He Xuan having forgotten all but fragments of it long ago.)

He Xuan then awoke from the dream. The air was cool and dank around her; she kept her own chambers cooler than the rest of the place, since she had to have some refuge from considering Shi Qingxuan’s comfort. There was no light.

Even in sleep, He Xuan’s control over her form had not wavered. She had remained as Ming Yi for weeks, and could have done so for years, if her task had called for it. But though it was not called for, she had fallen asleep alone in the form she had been in the dream. Whatever else, she looked powerful and dangerous, yet the form was beautiful in a way that shamed her. Its naked desperation to be desired, despite all pretensions otherwise, was pathetic. 

Though she was dead, she had woken with her chest heaving, and her face was coated in tears.

Reviewing is not critique. It's not workshopping. It's not giving the author feedback. By the time the book ends up in the reviewer's hands, all of those things have already happened. The reviewer's job is to engage with the result. Their audience is the readers, not the author.

Who wants to hear about my beefleaf figure skating AU concept? Ok great. Shi Wudu is a retired OGM, now primarily coaches his sister Shi Qingxuan. Deeply weird/codependent relationship. Shi Wudu and his cronies have strings to pull in the skating federation/ISU. Jun Wu is ISU president.

It's kind of embarrassing that my most actively updated fic wip rn is the one I started writing with the intention that it would be bad on purpose (as my low-effort romantasy knockoff project) but it's appropriate for this era of my life wherein I'm working almost FT while taking undergrad classes

writing never gets easier but the more you write the easier it gets to trudge along and suck up the hard parts. maybe lots of things are like this. starting to think being good at something just means having built up a massive reserve of frustration tolerance

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.
It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”
