We've watched all of S4 except for the last episode which is the length of a goddamn Marvel movie, jesus christ, and I have PLOTBUNNIES and/or fics I want to see in the world:( spoilery thoughts under the cut )

Here are some playlists that I have made about various things. I will update it as I add more of them to youtube and not just in a text file on my computer.

see you at the bitter end ........... that one high school relationship that lasted for 1.5 years and took another 3 to finish processing

Here's some naval-gazing that no one requested for Build A New Foundation, the story in which I have a lot of retrospective feelings about being a teenager. All of the snippets are in order in case you don't have the context memorized (Which, really, what are you doing with your life? Be more obsessive!)

( Build A New Foundation )
And that’s all, folks! If you made it all the way through, I appreciate you listening to me talk about how much of my teenage years are in this fic.

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

Summary:

Eleven catches his eye while they’re both watching Mike. She gives him a small, secret smile, and Will is momentarily terrified that she’s read his mind and knows — until she Force-pokes him from across the table, and looks pleased with herself when he jumps.

Sometimes, Will wishes that Mike had fallen for someone easier to be jealous of.

I rounded out my six-day work week with a nine-hour shift for the museum's big event of the year. Between that, and the thrilling conclusion of the transcript saga yesterday, and two preview days in a row at the auction house (I answered 60 phone calls in two hours! aaah!), and the Fic That Currently Owns My Soul, I am a knot of tension pulling everything out of joint. I suspect I will be, in some way or another, until January 15th, when graduate admissions applications are due.
