I miss you so much, Brittany. How can I start another year without you?
Robbie: Prayers answered
Update on little Robbie in an email I just got: The infection is under control, he’s off the ventilator, and his remaining lung has regained full function. He’s still in the PICU but he’s been downgraded from “Extremely critical” to “serious.” This is one TOUGH little velocisaurus. He’s also had ice cream added to his diet because he’s dropped...
Status Update:
Just got back from Christmas in VA. Good news? I brought back a Kindle Fire, my art supplies that I had in storage, and my winter clothes I had in storage. Bad news? I also brought back some kind of massively hateful virus or bacteria. Little bastard moves faster than Sloper through a girl’s dormitory, too. When I was getting ready to board the plane in Richmond, I was tired and had a...
soulinateacup asked: Jessie (lawfulgoodpaladog) linked me to your post referencing our rendition of the Battle of Hogwarts. Your writing was truly an inspiration, and I hope that our words can hold a candle to the emotional depth and brilliance that is expressed in yours. Simply the fact that you took notice of our project is one of the most genuine and beautiful compliments that I have ever received.
lawfulgoodpaladog asked: Oh my goodness. I just found a reply you made on a post I posted forever ago about how my best friend and I wrote a story based on DAYD. You're Thanfiction? D: You found us? I am extremely flattered because ahhh, DAYD verse is now my concrete and personal headcanon; I tell so many people about it and I often forget that it isn't actual canon.
dirigible-plum-earrings asked: I'll start off by saying that your writing is perfect. I can't put it into words. It heals. But that's for another day. I want to tell you that although I can barely imagine what you are going through, what you offer means a lot to me. I would like to extend that offer to you. If you need to talk, to rant, to say things that you don't want to publish, whatever - then my ask box...

Every year, DJ Earworm use his talents to create a mashup that includes some of the top songs of 2011. He did it again this year with these songs. And with these songs he created the 2011 mashup, “World Go Boom”. 2011 gave us songs of regret and anger, pride and perseverance, and lots of fire.
Adele – Rolling In The Deep
Adele – Someone Like You

As far as the treatment of people who, for lack of a better term, fall outside of quote-unquote “normal”, I’m with the “don’t be a dick” crowd.
If we could agree to treat each other with respect and dignity regardless of our personal differences of opinion or lifestyle, the world would be a…

A Mile In Your Shoes
Those of you who have followed my blog presence over the various social media for the last few years have probably noticed a fairly radical change in the past several months. I’ve always been a vocal proponent of social justice in general, but since this spring, there have been a lot more rainbows and the letters L, G, B, and T have shown up a lot more.
No, I haven’t come out as...

ceirdwenfc:
I’m just going to focus on Parvati here because except for the physical torture, this feels very much what I went through this summer. As with most of my more intelligent thoughts and writings, this came to me in my sleep last night.
It still makes sense in my mind that she is less assertive. Simply because she volunteered for something, even though it was dangerous, that doesn’t...

ceirdwenfc:
In the case of Parvati, I can justify it as somewhat passive because when I read it, I read it as myself doing something that I don’t really want to do, someone has to do it, I’m going to eventually have to volunteer for something in this group, so let me do it now and get it over with. Shrug, move on. Her breaking up with Neville is an acceptance of an inevitable (in my opinion).

(Warning: I am writing this while high as a motherfucking kite on pain meds, so if it doesn’t make any sense later, I reserve the right to edit it or take it down)
Last night, my best friend and I were discussing the women in Daydverse, and I expressed my concern about writing from the female POV, which I don’t do that often compared to male POV characters. She said I could write the...

I won’t post her name or her URL because I don’t “out” people for anything, including if I think they’ve “outed” themselves (because I don’t know what controls they’ve put over who can see their what, and public yet private compartmentalized lives are much more possible now), but I’m worried about her. She’s a teenager, bisexual,...

This is what Glee club really means. No cliques. No internal fighting or competitions. Hell, they don’t even sound that great, but this is probably one of the greatest moments they’ve had together. In this moment they were a real Glee club.

I suck at writing Romance.
Romance, capital R, is a genre that is about the attainment of A Relationship. Even if those aren’t stated as the goals of the characters, it’s the goal of the story, the author, the reader. A Relationship must be attained, with love so much of a side effect on the way there that it can be considered a Romance even if they hate each other, even if they’re horrible for and to...
