Tarlos, it’s not drama it’s love

I'm a big ball of anger and cries most days and that's why I'm not online a lot but I do log on in case someone wants to send me a message

It seems to be the norm these days so I’m making one, I guess it’s time to be somewhat organized on this messy blog.

I’m only putting my favorites, as in the ones I had the most fun writing because hey I do what I want. NB: I’m not guaranteeing the quality of these, I’m just saying I had fun and that’s my only scale of quality measurement.

(Sorted from most recent to most ancient.) ~ ✨ ~

70k - E - Sterek - tumblr post Stiles is a Winter Spark -whatever that means- living a solitary life in the forest. It could have been a quiet life, except for that one part... there are wolves in these woods and for all Stiles would love to ignore them and keep to himself, well, there's this part of him that was meant for more.

3k - T - Sterek - tumblr post The Sheriff brings Stiles a surprising present on Christmas day. (in which Derek is a dog-not-dog and Stiles has a plan).

8k - E - Sterek - tumblr post The pack bonding weekend Stiles had hoped for has gone terribly wrong: everybody cancelled on him. Now he's here alone with Derek of all people. Stuck in a fucking snow storm, with little else to do but... keep warm.

4k - G - Sterek - tumblr post There's a hot guy in the pumpkin patch, Stiles' mission is to sell him a pumpkin and not to fall in love.

16k - M - Sterek - tumblr post "You didn't." Derek grumbled to himself. "Fuck, Laura, you didn't."Derek shook his head slowly, his whole body burning with a feeling of utter betrayal. She could have. Fuck, Laura had actually paid for a cruise hooker, didn't she? Derek was going to murder her. He was going to kill her as soon as he set a foot back on land. - or the one where Derek finds himself stuck on a cruise with an accidental roommate who seems to be the most annoyingly cheerful person Derek has ever met.

10k - T - Sterek - tumblr post After spending an incredible summer filled with sex and romance, Stiles realizes that his summer fling actually attends the same college. Awkward, isn't it?

23k - M - Sterek - tumblr post Derek has a hard time bonding with his daughter since he finally got her back. She only seems to find comfort in the magic of the ice cream parlor that Stiles owns. (featuring : alive family hale. werewolves are known, magic Stiles. magic ice cream. fluff and finding one's own truth.

33k - T - Sterek - tumblr post When soulmates meet there's a clarity moment referred as the click. Stiles' whole world changes when his best friend, Scott, clicks not only on one but two people. (featuring : Stiles as a rich heir and bookstore owner, hater of the idea of soulmates. Allison as the new bookstore employee. Isaac and Derek as the owners of the gym next door. Scott as a puppy in love. Group dates and a whirlwind of feelings.

56k - M - Sterek - tumblr post Derek never imagined what the universe had in store for him when he helped a little girl find her dad at the farmer's market. featuring : worried Boyd and flirtatious Erica as Derek's best friends. Scott who has a bad habit of adopting people into his pack of friends. A lake where the magic in the stars aligns. and also a jar of fairy dust.

You can also support me on Kofi because that’s neat 😎

it’s so stupid that you can’t think your way out of the mental health trenches. like you can know exactly what is wrong, why it’s upsetting you, and you can walk yourself through all of it logically and Understand it but your brain just responds like

the trick to a good insult is sort of talking around it and making them think so that it hits harder when they realize what you’re talking about

“you look like the minotaur” -> whatever

“you look like you have a bull’s head” -> slightly funnier

“you look like you should be imprisoned in an underground labyrinth for the safety of crete” -> there we go

Welcome to the 2023 9-1-1 Podfic Fest

This is an event to celebrate and promote podfics and audio works in the 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star fandoms. All ships, genres, and ratings are welcome.

The minimum length is 2500 words (around 20 minutes) and there is no maximum, so don’t hesitate if you feel like you have the time/energy for a longer fic or several fics!

Authors have the opportunity to offer up stories for podficcers to choose from. There is no guarantee that a fic will be chosen, but taking a chance is always better, right? 

Podficcers may choose from that list, create from orphaned works, or make podfics of other fics with author permission.

Artists are also welcome to sign-up if they wish to help create cover art to accompany the podfics created for this fest.

Find the schedule here and the full list of rules here! :)

Burnout is honestly such a mild word for what people use it to mean. I'm not experiencing "burnout", which sounds so casual and routine that some face masks and a little rest is going to fix it.

My body and mind and even nervous system are stretched to the point that it's going to take a lot more than just a "break" or a few self care tips to recover, and even then, my recovery is just so that I can reenter the spaces that contributed to me being this way in the first place. I'm a little bit more than just burnt out by this.

Workplaces and educational institutions aggressively overwork us, expose us to all kinds of discrimination, which they overlook and gaslight us out of acknowledging, and then constantly ask us to ignore our mental, emotional, and physical needs so that we don't inconvenience them.

We're not burnt out. We're borderline traumatized. Burnout is always talked about like something transient and mild that a little rest and relaxation will fix.

But we're exhausted. We need deep rest and healing. We need new systems. We need new ways of being. The language around burnout just seems like a way of upholding these current violent systems and downplaying their impacts.
