writing process, lolll, sob

am in buffalo this week, being put to do odd jobs at the camera store, after having blasted through the backlog of video orders—— mostly. anyhow. still more to do there, but. i also have been fucking around, so i can’t complain.

i took shameless advantage of being unsupervised and spent a solid little bit this morning with a doc open on my work computer and then working on my laptop, so i could heavily-rewrite a scene without having to tab back and forth. it meant no copy-paste but it’s better that way.

this is after some heavy brainstorming/analyisis with bittylildragon https://tmblr.co/mFZ-dyX2gnK2QUR8N-lH5pA, but now i think, i think I have Sparrow back on track after having been wildly Roche-derailed for a bit, so maybe– maybe? maybe I’ll have an update for that one on Friday or Monday. Er– that’s Fit For Pearls, whose working title is Sparrow, I forget nobody else lives in my head and knows that.

Listen there are throughlines, apparently, and I didn’t know that, but– the whole thing is about Ciri realizing what it means that she has as much power as she does. You can’t just have a fling with someone when you’re basically the ruler of the known world. and it’s like, on multiple levels there. It’s not that you can’t have a power-imbalance relationship; if that were true she couldn’t fuck anyone, not really. If you want to fuck your secretary, and have her consent mean anything, you’ve really got to hash things out beforehand. And then beyond that, if you realize your dad, in your absence, groomed a young man to be his heir, and now that he has you back, is hoping to tidy things up by just handing that young man over to you to have as your own, well– i mean, to have that work, you have to understand that that also is not an even balance of power. It might seem like it is, but it is not.

Anyway my early-on idle narrative choice to not have Ciri have a POV in any of this is sure a heck of a choice to have made. We’re gonna see where this takes us. I had intended this to be a much shorter work but I also had not figured out what it was about when I started. So. Anyway. We’re getting there.

Meanwhile I gotta get back to typing UPC codes into my computer and fixing prices on ancient deadstock, so. laterz. (Your picture was not posted)

Can we talk about the Olympic sharpshooter that just won with one hand in her pocket and a Witcher medallion on her belt? Because I love her.

I know I already reblogged a post with this photo but like, there are a couple of things you should know now that this image of Vitalina Batsarashinka has gone viral on Twitter and now Tumblr.

1) this is the standard pose for this event. You are not allowed to hold the weapon with both hands, but must use a one-handed grip. The standard thing to do with the off-hand is either to hook a thumb on the belt loop or pocket, or put the hand into the pocket. (A few people put the hand on their hip, but the pocket is best for maximal stability.) This is absolutely standard. If you look at other photos of these events, literally every competitor is standing this way. 1a) men on Twitter who know absolutely nothing about sharpshooting are LOSING THEIR MIND over this image because does this little girl [a two-time Olympic medalist] not know that pistols have a recoil she could hurt herself etc etc??!?! It is absolutely fucking hilarious to watch this unfold in realtime, A+++.

2) this photo is from 2016 when she won bronze. This year she won gold, wearing the medallion around her neck. :) (Your picture was not posted)
