i would very much like to finish drafting the rest of this fic before the end of the year--maybe even before december. that'd be cool. if i can keep up my daily "fuck it, you're awake, might as well use it" 6-7am writing hour, it might even be possible! ~2k in the ch11 doc, ch12 to go...

It's neither, in this case, but a secret third thing I can't really get into here, but whatever the reason it is frustrating af

ArchEmily🖤 @yerbamansa.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

That is, in fact, my involvement here, though for ✨ political reasons✨ my FTE supervisor might actually do it instead of me (a subcontractor 🫠)

ArchEmily🖤 @yerbamansa.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

yuuuup. in this particular case there's a whole bunch of interdepartmental politics i'm only vaguely aware of, but mostly it's just the latest in a long line of toe-stompings from the AI booster operating with little oversight within our org and it sucks

Had a task I'm good at reassigned to the LLM, I know this is happening all over so even trying to find work elsewhere wouldn't necessarily improve matters, but boy I tell ya, not a fan

ArchEmily🖤 @yerbamansa.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

deeply fucked up!!! top-down decision making at its finest. i'm sorry they did you dirty like that

ArchEmily🖤 @yerbamansa.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I think it depends very much on your motivation for writing fic, or even a particular fic. For me, this is absolutely not the case. If there's a reference in canon that echoes something I wrote, it's fun, but I don't see it as canonizing or validating.

Honestly the horror vibe is 🤌

ArchEmily🖤 @yerbamansa.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

hey anyone got a line on just, like, creating an alternate reality where people who are good at doing stuff and making things do that in exchange for whatever currency is required to keep living and we do that in community or whatever and there's no encroachment of oligarch llm bullshit

idk, does sitting quietly and writing (taika waititi definition) count as "fun"? i've never been good at this, either.

All we need is a little jarlic (jarred garlic) to flavour that soup <3 #GarlicSoupWeek #OFMDart

Cartoon art of Jim, Oluwande, Zheng, and Archie from OFMD titled "Jarlic Soup". They are drawn very small in a big glass jar labelled "garlic," and float in water amongst peeled garlic cloves. Archie is climbing out while Zheng hangs by Archie's ankles, Oluwande floats peacefully, and Jim is attacking the jar with their knives.

Additional details: A large garlic bulb and two unpeeled cloves sits beside the jar. There's also a sword in the jar that is stuck through a clove, and a small orange floats near Jim. The whole art has a border of teal hearts.

A close up on the jar, showing Jim, Oluwande, Zheng, and Archie in it.

had too many 'reminders' thoughts not to spend my morning writing time getting ch11 draft going but i think garlic soup fic will still get done this week

160

ArchEmily🖤 @yerbamansa.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

anyway i think i've got another short scene or two to crank out for this garlic soup sequel fic - i think it'd best fit the friday themes - and it is nice to get back to my roots (writing tender jim/olu pov) for a minute

three years ago today: getting up early to inhale three new eps of our favorite show, then watching at least once more with friends over discord, while packing to leave for new york to meet many of those friends in person for the first time. wild times. love you all.
