The quintessential breakaway71 experience:
* found family
* human characters becoming something not-quite-human
* crossovers that should probably not work in a canon setting BUT I'LL FIT THEM TOGETHER IF IT KILLS ME
...I feel like this should be my pinned post.

Wrote a tiny bit more before bed, finished the chapter I was working on, and this fic has officially crossed the 60k line. 😱

Only 800 words today, but I am super fond of the scene I just wrote and that is what matters. 😊

this gives me a little joy in an otherwise wretched world
Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

I intended to go to the post office an hour ago. I HAVE to go today. But my god, every time I look at the "feels like" temperature I die a little inside. And then curl up. And don't go anywhere.

I personally feel this is not only an adequate contribution, but the most necessary one. Truly, is this not the entire purpose of the traditional Thanksgiving meal?
And the housemate’s contribution to the feast. (In fairness the biscuits were her idea as well but she did not make those).

I am not allowed to watch season 5 until my fic is done BUT I've decided that presents a perfect opportunity to rewatch the first four seasons, which I've been wanting to do all year.
Anyway I labored over 2,300 words to start the most difficult part of this fic today, I deserve a treat.

I have just seen that there is discourse about the Elphaba and Fiyero scene in Wicked For Good being inappropriate for kids/tweens and...uh...as someone whose parents and grandmother took me to see Titanic THRICE when I was a tween...please give me a fucking break.

Settled in to write after a yummy french toast breakfast. Music spinning on the record player, housemate prepping for Turkey Day cooking.
I slept like crap last night, but deeply enjoying this nice quiet holiday (where I am not in charge of any cooking because I cannot be trusted)

I've reached the penultimate episode of SWAT. Season 8 has continued to be a slog. And the stalker storyline with Deacon is maybe the DUMBEST thing this show has ever done.

Wrote 2,000 words today! The first words I've written on this fic since, according to the doc properties, Dec 9, 2023 😭😭😭
Now time for a break and the MCU movie of the night: Iron Man 3
(which should have been last night, but Thor 2 and IM 3 were mixed up on my shelf and I didn't catch it, oops.)

I (finally) started posting my Stranger Things ghost!Eddie fic that I've been working on for...somehow...almost three years now? I'm not allowed to watch S5 until it's finished.
Just finished editing/coding the first 54k, and five chapters are posted. Now the hard part - writing the rest! 😭😰

Sometimes when I want to feel good about myself, I decide to walk up Cardiac Hill to get to work instead of taking the maze of halls, elevators, and bridges between 4 different medical buildings.
I never actually end up feeling that good, mostly because I’m too busy cursing myself for poor choices.

Continuing the trend of the year...I forgot today is my Mom's birthday 🙃
I literally spoke to her yesterday but at least Dad reminded me in time to call her tonight 🤦♀️

Spent the morning deep cleaning my room (by which I mean I actually dusted a few shelves for the first time all year), which did not help me get out of my head as much as I wanted but DID at least mean I was productive.
Time for Cheesecake Factory lunch with friends and then Wicked For Good!

Watching my 2026 plans slowly circling the drain, the more budget math I run. This sucks.
In related news, I knew the interest on my federal student loans was due to kick back in, but it kept not happening and I fell into a false sense of security. Then I checked my account a few days ago. *sigh*

This may have been the most ridiculous and annoying week ever 99% of the time, but today, one of my favorite authors left a really wonderful comment on one of my fics, so basically, best week ever <3

The irony of NPR judging sci-fi material for losing some of its social commentary when NPR has been toeing the line in losing its journalistic truth of late.

Watched my MCU movie of the night, now trying to decide between TV, book, or fanfic for the rest of my evening

I was today years old when I realized that the actress who plays Maddie on #911abc is actually married to the actor who played Doug (and apparently has been since well before the show started) and I legitimately cannot compute how they managed some of those scenes together 🤯
