highlights from today: enjoying the slightly milder weather by writing outside, pumpkin bubble tea with friend, and Lumos making a corner of the table into her personal cozy seat (for some reason) 🧡🧡🧡
writing yesterday & today, featuring Lumos trying to write her fanfics & the fireworks livestream + bubble tea (courtesy of my dear, patient friend who also listened to me infodump about the Crazy:B event despite knowing very little about enstars)
today's writing excerpt, featuring some Mayoi introspection and sparkly ink!!! I know it looks like it's got purple shimmer, but it actually shifts between green and purple depending on the light~

y'all still like it when I write juhaku, right? ;D it's been too damn long!!!!
I love outlining my gay little fanfics with a $350+ fountain pen.... really feels like overkill XD
we have one of those oversized beanbag chairs and Lumos thinks it's her personal catbed...but today I'm sitting in it to write and she's keeping me company 🖤
also I do NOT have bronchitis or pneumonia or anything like that!!! just a very persistent infection that antibiotics have been helping with :D
We have so many notes this chapter!!!! The next chapter of Finding Hope Like Bleeding Cowboys at Destiny's Crossroads is coming soon, I promise, we've just had a lot of life shit going on ✌🏻
I'm headed to Virginia to see one of my cousins in a play, but it's fucking two hours away so I've been writing in the car. I'm slowly working through fic requests ✌🏻
so like. first of all. I fucking hate having to drive through DC and Virginia because the traffic is always the fucking worst. I've only been able to write so much because there's so much stop and go that it keeps distracting me from being able to do anything. I just. it's destroying my back ><
I'm working out what I wanna write for the upcoming Legato Week!!! It's going...okay I guess? I wish I had more than a week to prepare but I'm gonna power through 💪🏻
my handwriting is significantly worst while riding in a moving car on the highway. my bad!
aka we're heading home, wife is driving, and every road trip needs more Legato angst ✌🏻
There's something so decadent about the weather being nice and having a back deck to enjoy it with. Just. We bought our house a bit over a year ago and it still feels kinda unreal, you know? It's so nice to just enjoy the little things ;w;
featuring my inability to pick just one pen aka yes I have a bunch of my fountain pens + some extra ink out here with me XD
I'm having some ink problems in the Starbucks this afternoon and I'm starting to think that the problem is the pen, not the ink....which is a shame, because I really like the pen.
OH WELL.
now I have to clean up ink before the nice sbux employees have to deal with it ><
I'm writing fic instead of studying and I'm honestly sooooo valid for it I swear
featuring: the end of some Knives & Rem angst I wrote earlier - always use fictional characters to work through your own trauma, folks!! - and the beginning of Knives/Legato with reincarnated Legato and a lot of Knives angst. it's, um, today's theme?
a snippet:
he'll never call it guilt and he doesn't have to call it by name to welcome it into his home. it takes the outstretched hand that Rem refused and settles along the curve of his fingers as they glide across ivory keys. it takes the blade that Legato desperately craved and curls around his ribcage with every breath he takes. it takes and it takes and it takes.
WHY DID IT TAKE ME NEARLY 3 YEARS TO FINISH A SINGLE FUCKING NOTEBOOK XD
spoilers: it's because ADHD makes me act a certain kind of way and that way is "uses anywhere from 1 to 4 writing notebooks/journals at once" BUT HAHA I FINISHED ONE SO NOW I'M DOWN TO ONLY HAVING 3 RIGHT NOW!!!
