virgomoonMy round-up post is 1k words and counting, before I can post it here I have to do some housecleaning. List is in order of priority.
> animefeminist article: wish they'd pay a little bit more than they do but what they do is already a lot [TAXATION WILL REDUCE IT THO >:(] anyway i must finish writing this over the weekend (which is the new month????)
> bojack horseman fic: sans the fact that i relate to diane on an interplanetary level; her pain, her life trajectory, her passion, her dejection, her empathy, her ability to really, really hurt you where it matters... sans all this, i really love futurefics, and her life trajectory according to the show made me feel so happy and so serene. i want to explore that. i was looking up houston climate and cultural specificities, transport, people, housing, etcetera. i kind of really want to write this. it might be cathartic for me.
> skip and loafer fic: i need not say more but i have these WIPs i am endlessly fond of but have no clue how to execute (or end) without seeming a little... pander-y? But i will write it because no one else can write what i can write.
these days i don't think about haikyuu in specifics as much as i think of it in terms of the highs it afforded me (catrin's fics, nekoma-karasuno match, kita shinsuke, hinata shoyo, timeskip, pre-timeskip hinata and kageyama, sendai and its interconnected do-or-die friendships, so, so much more) and even though i said on twitter i'd re-read it in june i just didn't have the time. at this point in my life i think i really would want to just have a lot of free time in which i could do anything, which i still sort of currently do have, i mean i'm writing this instead of... cataloguing books. fetching lunch. cleaning. absorbing the weather and atmosphere here.
but also I've realized I am such a slow, ponderous writer. i recycle and regurgitate the same old thoughts and ficlets until they become part of my system and i can't put them out there. writing, even if badly, is who i am, pondering is who i am, so if bro here is a ponderer, well, let there be ponds!
so much of life is just about proportion. yotsuba tells her dad that the ocean is just a big puddle for adults to jump in. meanwhile children are content with their own personal puddles.
working with children is a constant exercise in proportion, that oh if Yangcha is mad at the world because she didn't get her way, doesn't that remind me of the person i was at the beginning of May? it really helps that i enjoy simple stories as much as I enjoy complex ones, i think that's one of the reasons why I'm settling into this job well. very surprising that I would be good at being a children's librarian, but very rewarding as well.
