Arachnophobes don’t look! This is my yurt houseg

Arachnophobes don’t look! This is my yurt houseguest. Top photo from this morning, and then I was rearranging things and accidentally threw this lil guy out the door. Then tonight i get back and guess what? He’s right back next to where he was before. I named him Lupe, then looked him up, and realized he’s probably male, and most likely a Carolina Wolf Spider. I’m goddamn terrified of spiders but you know what this is his habitat and that’s what I get for deciding to live out here. So he’s welcome but I’d like to instate a house rule that he never touches me. Ever.
He’s out in the middle of my tono-screen right now and creeping me the heck out but you do you lil buddy! Eat some bugs! Do not fall on me!

YOU CAN DO IT!!

I can totally do it I have three more hours left of today.

I can totally– ughhhhh

the hangup is that I can’t put off the Reveal Of The Plot any longer and I don’t know how to explain it. It made perfect sense to me when it came to me in a moment of perfect clarity somewhere on the Thruway but then I got hung up imagining something else and didn’t write it down and now I can’t make it make sense the way it did then.

And I’d just– end the scene and push it off to the next chapter but I’ve done that so many times it’s got to be really pissing readers off at this point. I’m extremely grateful that nobody’s left a review to that effect lately. Because it must be so annoying to read and every single fucking chapter I’m like haha I will end this scene on a cliffhanger and it remains A Big Mystery and like. Shit. I need some kind of payoff, eventually, here! Ugh.

I DID IT

CHAPTER FIVE

I posted that with my eyes closed because I am so sleepy so I apologize if there are errors or a bit doesn’t quite make total sense. 

I’ll go back and put a title on it tomorrow, I think I forgot to.

Wolf spiders are ginormous but pm harmless to humans. Think of him like your new doorman. :)

I researched that extensively, believe me.

They do bite, and it causes damage, but their venom doesn’t affect us– any damage is usually bruising from purely mechanical causes, because they have large powerful jaws. 

I got bit a couple weeks ago by something, and it bruised viciously, and I’m thinking it was almost definitely a wolf spider that was in my bed. And I’m actually thinking these guys seem to have territories– there’s one in the roof hole (the big one), and another in the window right next to the bed. And homie in the window by the bed totally walked over me in the middle of the night and nearly got himself hunted by Whiskey the cat. (Not a good move, bro.)

But like. Party foul. I bet he’s the asshole that bit me too. No way. Stay out of the bed, jerk!

Ohhhhh…I am crushed by the idea that Poe might have lost his entire relationship with Rey, but I trust you implicitly. Also, um, hi? I joined Tumblr a couple of weeks ago primarily to interact with the writers of some incredible stories and I haven’t really…well, actually attempted to interact with anyone yet. So here’s me dipping my toe in: this saga is gorgeous and visceral and occupies a shocking percentage of my brain. Also, I was into Atlantis back in the day. So, hi, and you rock.

Haha, welcome to this blue hell site that up until really recently had no way of replying to posts short of reblogging them, and that still doesn’t have any way to reply to replies short of reblogging *them*. :O I also joined Livejournal when it was new, and i pine frequently for it, and I haven’t really mastered the etiquette of Tumblr either for all that I have made over six thousand posts and have been using it for more than five years. (I know, right?)

Interacting is awesome and it’s the main thing I enjoy here but it’s really hard to get through the noise to find the signal, if you know what I mean. So, good luck with that. 

I broke my own heart coming up with that particular plot twist but I considered it all around and thought, well, this is the only way I can see to do the thing I need to do, and bonus, it’s a rich mine of angstfeels, and given that’s mostly what I write, I decided that was all right. But yes, you are correct to trust me; I can’t bear to have an unhappy ending and I have zero interest or ability to leave stuff unresolved, for all I am horribly addicted to cliffhangers in my chapter endings. (Mostly, pedestrianly, because if you stop at an emotionally charged moment, you can stop at all; otherwise if I continue through the resolution you wind up with the chapter meandering on and on and on and it’s really hard to find a stopping place. I swear I’m not trying to be mean. It’s just the only way I can shut myself up long enough to click “publish”.)

This saga has occupied most of my brain for a very long time, so I guess I’m just glad to share, is what it amounts to. :)

And Atlantis is what got me to interact fannishly with Tumblr, so long ago! To this day my drafts folder has probably four hundred photosets of John Sheppard’s face that I never reblogged because I didn’t know how else to keep track of them.
