this is like, the dream

because for all the backstory and all the drama and all the excitement

i can only have them have The Big Emotionally-Fulfilling Climactic Threesome once

(like there can be more sex scenes than that but I can only do a first time once) (and let’s be real I am so distracted by like 100k of backstory that I will never have time for all the sex scenes)

so what everyone wants, what we all deserve, is for someone else to also write one, because I want to read ALL OF THEM

this is genuinely The Dream

#it doesn’t even have to use any of my headcanons #i just want the threesome #i want the OT3 #and i would absolutely not say no to a whole bunch of pegging

That’s what i want toooooooo! you can’t leave out the sexy but unhinged witch who he’s tied to by DESTINY (well, you can, everyone is free to do as they wish, but WHY would you waste a scarce natural resource like Yennefer? In this economy?) and you can’t leave out the pining, twinking best friend who makes mixtapes for him, the OBVIOUS solution is to put them all together!

Seriously, i did read your fic before i finished the show and i have imprinted on your version as the Way & the Truth & the Light, so maybe I should just lean into it and use the “inspired by another work” button? You know that feeling when you’re like, oh, this is TOO SIMILAR to what someone else has written, every word I type should be Deeply and Importantly original? I am wrestling with that feeling while actually very much wanting to write somethign that fits into your universe - same versions of the characters, slightly different events, another first time Big Emotionally-Fulfilling Climactic Threesome! Maybe, just maybe, with pegging! 

Yes yes yes do this, yes, please, no, I don’t need an “inspired by” cred, though you could mention me in the notes if you think you’ve leaned so heavily it might not make sense to someone who only watched the show, but beyond that, oh gosh. That’s what fanfic is about.

The very first slash fic I ever wrote, in like 2005, was literally a fic of someone else’s fic about two extremely obscure characters from, not even the Silmarillion, from some long-lost old notes of Tolkien’s in like, volume twelve of the History of Middle-Earth, and she had fleshed them out into these wonderful mutually-pining creatures when in canon I’m not even sure either of them actually had direct lines, and I wrote fic of them that was even more obscure and was very specifically about her versions of them, and she was so gracious and generous and delighted that it formed a lot of my understanding of how fandom culture works. to be gratuitously heavy about this, for a moment. 

But my point is, man, please write that. The pegging is optional. There are so many ways this can go and I want to read them all and I can’t possibly write them all. 

I do get how this could be thorny– if you didn’t know me well, or if you wanted to take my starting point and go a wildly different direction with it, or something like that– but even in that case, I’d feel like– I mean– the original author of a creative work doesn’t get to say no fanfic, they just get to say “well i won’t read it”, and if someone was doing something I really didn’t like with, like, an OC I created for my own fic or whatever, that would literally be as far as I could go. “oh I didn’t see it going that direction, hm, you know, I might tap out, no hard feelings but plz don’t tag me in the next one?” 

But this situation is specifically the opposite of that, so it’s a moot point… PLEASE write ALL of it, whatever your heart desires, please. I do understand your hesitation, I feel that basically every time I sit down to write fanfic instead of Some Original Work Of Heartbreaking Genius that will live in a drawer for fifteen more years with all the others, but one must follow one’s heart and square away one’s doubts and write the porn of your dreams.

deputychairman replied to your post “never a dull moment”

this is exactly what i worry about with my mum, there are only 2 of us and I live in another country.

Exactly! *wrings hands* I feel you.

Fortunately, Dad is much recovered today, and got my mother the 50lb bag of birdseed she wanted. She says she’s slowly improving, and can get around a bit. 

I was going to go over to see her today and she said no, come tomorrow, so I’m coming tomorrow to bake things for slaughter day. The awkward thing is that since I was here, my sister had free time and did the baking herself. But like. Redundant baked goods are fine. I want an excuse to be in Mom and Dad’s house and make sure they’re really okay without hovering. Mom was just so cranky and impatient the other day– I mean, she acted fine, of course, I could just tell she was upset, and if I’d had something I was there doing, instead of hovering anxiously, it would have been better. And I think that’ll be something my sisters and I will have to come up with, in future years– some sort of routine where we can check on our parents but not obviously be checking on them. Well, they’re smart, they’ll know that’s what we’re doing, but if we can make it be part of some other routine, it’ll go over easier. Anyway. They’re apparently well enough to have Farmkid over for the long-planned sleepover tomorrow night; maybe I’ll time my visit to sort of coincide with that handoff, somehow. I still don’t know how we’ll do the handoff of Mom’s car, but I’m sure it will be discussed. I do have some errands to run, so it won’t have been futile that I borrowed it.

I’m so glad they both seem to be doing better. I’m going to change the subject now and prattle on about 1) what I did today (mostly uninteresting) and 2) a brief summary of the discussions we’ve been having about the tiny house. Oh! Earlier there was a post with a link to an Instagram posting I did– there are ten photos at the Instagram post if you follow that link, and it’s a little mini-tour of the intern cabin, which is the existing tiny house that’s already on the farm. It’s super minimal and basic and I’d love to improve it slightly but it’s not my business really– but if we’re doing construction on a tiny house for me, it might spark interest in the interns to take on an improvement project at the tiny house. The idea of the apprenticeship is that the curriculum is mostly driven by the farm’s needs but there’s always meant to be a component where the apprentice themself can choose additional things to study, and past interns have taken on minor construction projects or additional gardening projects or whatever, but the last two years we’ve had just… sort of blah apprentices in that respect; the previous year they left early so there was no time for it, and this past year they just sort of shrugged and were like nah we don’t want to study anything else. !!! Come on! Anyhow. It’s interesting, and gives me some insight into what I do and don’t want, in a tiny house of my own. 

Today I put Farmkid onto the bus and then really deep-cleaned the slaughterhouse. The snack table had mouse droppings on it, so I included it in my rotation– scrubbed and bleached it and everything on it. It doesn’t have to be that clean, ostensibly, but I’ve noticed that people treat it like it was a clean indoor table when it really isn’t, I stuck a grungy vinyl tablecloth onto it because it’s an old beat-up door on a pair of sawhorses and the wood is cracked and had feathers stuck in the cracks from when it was used as a turkey pluck table many years ago and it was uncleanable and disgusting. But the tablecloth makes people assume it’s food-safe, and they set food down on it and then pick it back up and eat that food, and like! that’s a grungy tablecloth I briefly used as a roof tarp, don’t eat off that!! but then I was like, or I could clean it, so I did. 

The rest of the slaughterhouse is like a goddamn operating theater, if I do say so myself, so. I mean, I deep-cleaned that sucker. So, good for me. 

Then I made dried flower arrangements until my hands were numb, then it was lunch, then I went back out and made more dried flower arrangements. I realized I’ve done every single one this season so far. Good for me; they sell for ten bucks a pop and I’ve made approximately sixty of them and we’ve sold half of that, and we have enough flowers to make a hundred more. (Obligatory plug: consider dried arrangements instead of fresh for your holiday centerpiece! The flowers don’t have to be grown in a hothouse or flown in from halfway across the world, and as a bonus, they last for years and you can dust them with a hairdryer. End obligatory plug.)

I paused, and took a walk. I went to the burnt yurt site, and took some measurements and photos. I have approximately 16′x40′ of quite level ground that I could do minimal clearing (as in… pruners, not a chainsaw) to use, and it wouldn’t infringe on any other thing the site is used for. (Tractor equipment gets stored there, but it’s usually stored right by the road. We could be more organized about it and save some room, but also, there’s a ton of space that just doesn’t get used, so.) It’d even be a net benefit; there’s a smattering of junk and then junk trees like sumac have grown through the junk and it’s all waste and vermin-harboring clutter, and I’d clear it up and keep it nice so we’d have more effective square footage regardless of what I built.

Then I went up to the intern cabin and looked at it. The dog came with me, and she was So Anxious the whole time. I got her to come in the door with me but she Freaked Out and wouldn’t stay. She’s been needy lately. You can see her in the Instagram post– the shot of the stairwell has her Concerned face at the bottom looking woefully in the door at me. 

It would be simplicity itself to put a water catchment system on that cabin, and then there’d be no need to haul water out by hand for drinking and dishes. You could maybe even get enough for bathing, though I don’t think the site gets enough sun for a solar shower. And to make a little grey water sink drain so at least you don’t have to carry the dirty dishwater outside by hand… there’s actually a two-bay porcelain sink leaning against the wall out there not being used for anything, and it’s tragic.

Anyhow. So I’ve been discussing the potential tiny house yurt replacement with various folks. I brought up my idea that it needs to have decorative chicken feet like Baba Yaga’s hut, and BIL took that and ran with it and said the whole thing needs to look like a witch’s cabin. Which is one thousand percent my aesthetic and what I was hoping for.

Anyway that led to him searching for witch cabins on Pinterest, and that was great.

I’ve wittered on long enough for now and I’m definitely going to come back to this but in the meantime, I am going to go to sleep and dream of creepy witch cabins in the woods.

deputychairman replied to your post “oh a mystery”

Please report back, I wanna know as badly as you do now!

missbuster replied to your post “oh a mystery”

Aww I wish I sent you something just for the DRAMA but I’m not that organized. My best/lady friend and I send Xmas packages to each other in august

Ah, I just remembered now while I was refreshing my email to find out if it had been dropped off at the pickup thing yet, that it’s totally something quotidian that I had ordered and then forgot about. (It’s a dumb but still appreciated work bonus thing that it always takes them like ten weeks to process so I did it so long ago I forgot it was even a thing.)

I guess I’m glad I didn’t let myself work up a good head of What Is This Delightful Mystery steam.

But I’m sort of annoyed that Dude couldn’t just be like, no f’real, it isn’t me, because I still could have been like Oh A Mystery but maybe less getting-ones-hopes-up, y’know? 

Phooey. Well, then, maybe I do need to buy myself something extravagant and then go to great lengths to forget I’ve ordered it so that it turns up and I can convince myself it was a secret admirer. 

(I expect a real secret admirer would be awkward so I don’t actually wish for one; I have plenty of Things and plenty of people who like me. It’s just, you know. A mystery. It is not a mystery. Alas.)

deputychairman replied to your post “today’s weird pet peeve”

Yes! My smaller child has very changeable blue/brown eyes too and it depends so much on the light what colour they look. That’s my excuse for caring as much as I do about an actor’s eye colour - although we don’t need to justify why we care around here! We can just care, ok!

It’s true, we can just– care! We can just care. Everyone can care as much as they want to, and can stop caring or start caring whenever they want.

Hence me writing a rant about it, when I honestly don’t care that much either. (I did think it might be fun to try to hunt down pictures and come up with better descriptions, but I haven’t time at the moment, perhaps I’ll rewatch the series later.)

It’s just. It’s just weird how there seem to be people who seem sort of invested in them being Super Blue, of all things. Of all things! Maybe it’s a shorthand for all the other things that really are true of his eyes and how he expresses things with them, but it’s an odd shorthand I feel needs pointing out.

deputychairman replied to your post “meatsack woes”

Once when i was away for the most exhausting & stressful work trip of my life, my dude changed the bed sheets! But yeah that was the only time in 19 years.

Last summer when I was gone for three weeks running I came back and he’d changed them at some point, but i have a suspicion he’d only done it right before I got home.

(Another time, he actually wore holes through the sheets in three places, which I discovered when I stripped the bed before even getting into it the first time. He hadn’t noticed. Hadn’t noticed! Amazing.)

He *will not* hang clothes on the line, though. Even if it’s 75 and sunny out, every last molecule of laundry is going through that clothes dryer. We have a machine to do this, why would we use free sunshine??? ‘Mer’ca!
