Seven Sentence Sunday🌟

Thank you @ssmtskw @kiwiana-writes @anincompletelist @littlemisskittentoes @happiness-of-the-pursuit and @hgejfmw-hgejhsf for the tags! :)

Here's another snippet from my Flashback When You Met Me - this is in scene one from the first time that Alex noticed Henry and it makes me laugh (and maybe I need encouragement to keep writing this fic)

Nora sneaks another investigative look over her shoulder. “I thought you usually hated the pretentious type.” She isn’t wrong. Usually, the whole stiff-collar-and-pressed-slacks thing would send Alex running — he has no interest in dating some stuck-up-dude-bro who thrives off of daddy’s money and would try to, like, sell him stocks or get him to invest in his “totally legit” pyramid scheme selling knives as pillow talk — but this man seems…different. Softer. Alex doesn’t respond. Instead, he claims, “I’m gonna go over there.”

I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide

And no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
A shot from Safe (1995) of Carol White, played by Julianne Moore, in her suburban living room, holding a glass of milk. She is centered in frame, and stares blankly into camera
THE SUBURBS DREAM of violence. Asleep in their drowsy
villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait
patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a
more passionate world.
A shot from Blue Velvet. A man lays, collapsed, on his lawn. His hose is still running; a dog has climbed on him to drink from it. A child with a lollypop wanders through the gate
And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
And you may ask yourself,
"Where is that large automobile?"
And you may tell yourself,
"This is not my beautiful house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"
A shot from Little Shop of Horrors of a house on a white lawn against a blue sky. The scene has a sense of artificiality about it - the lighting is all wrong, the sky like a painted backdrop. Seymour and Audrey, in a suit and wedding dress respectively, stand in the doorframe.
I think the traditional preoccupations of cosmic horror are ultimately
charming and quaint in comparison to that endless atrophy
wouldn't it be a relief to gaze into the maw of an eldritch god once,
confirm the truth of existence, and lose your mind entirely?
At least that'd have a sense of resolution to it. At least then you
could stop pretending that everything was fine.
A shot from Vivarium. Rows and rows of identical green houses. On the roof the center one, arranged sheets spell out "HELP"
So we were lying in bed afterwards
And she asked me
What made me frightened
And I said...
I'm frightened of Belgian Chocolates
I'm frightened of potpourri
I'm frightened of James Dean posters
I'm, I'm frightened of 26" screens
I'm frightened of, of remote control
I'm frightened of endowment plans
I'm, I'm frightened of figurines
Ow!
I'm frightened of evenings in the Brincliffe Oaks
Searching for the...
Conversations
A shot from the Truman Show. Truman, played by Jim Carrey, climbs a set of stairs against a wall. Both the stairs and wall are painted like a blue sky with clouds.
Murray and I extended the range of our contemplative
walks. In town one day he went into small embarrassed
raptures over diagonal parking. There was a charm and a
native sense to the rows of slanted vehicles. This form of
parking was an indispensable part of the American
townscape, even when the cars were foreign-made. The
arrangement was not only practical but avoided
confrontation, the sexual assault motif of front-to-back
parking in teeming city streets.
Murray says it is possible to be homesick for a place
even when you are there.
Three panels from the comic Supergod. 

The first panel shows a dove flying above a home. 

The second, the dove crashing into the dome of the sky, revealed to be artificial. bubbles read: AN UNDERGROUND
AMERICAN SMALL-TOWN HEAVEN. THE KIND OF
PLACE AN ALL-AMERICAN DEADMAN WOULD HOPE AND PRAY TO FETCH UP IN.

The third panel, a white, middle-aged man stands in a pilot's uniform, drinking a beer. Bubbles read: I LIKE TO IMAGINE HIM THERE BY HIS LITTLE PICKET FENCE IN FRONT OF HIS LITTLE HOUSE, BREATHING IN THE AIR- CONDITIONING OF HIS LITTLE HEAVEN. NEVER QUESTIONING HIS EXISTING WITHOUT EATING, DRINKING OR SLEEPING, BECAUSE HE THINKS HE'S DEAD. PERHAPS HE THINKS OF THE DAY HE VISITED EARTH.
But I don't think so. But I think about it. And I think, well, I can't be. Because I'm like
you, I kinda look at the big long life ahead of me that stretches out forever and
disappears. And I get scared. And I think, "this can't be Heaven if I'm getting scared,
right?"
And then I think, "maybe I am in Heaven, and Heaven is scary."
A photograph of a 70s underground Cold War bunker in Las Vegas. It features an imitation of an outdoor suburban home, complete with painted backdrop and fake trees, cut off by the ceiling.
Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism?
And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is
normal on Earth.

suburbia; or the sad, quiet horror of getting everything you ever wanted

Ballard // Blue Velvet (1986) // "Once in a Lifetime," Talking Heads // Little Shop of Horrors (1986) // Jon Ware on I Am In Eskew // Vivarium (2019) // "His 'n' Hers," Pulp // The Truman Show (1998) // White Noise, Don DeLillo // Supergod, Warren Ellis and Garrie Gastonny // 17776, Jon Bois // photograph of 1970s Las Vegas underground Cold War bunker // Disco Elysium, ZA/UM

Not to vagueblog but some of you are definitely the sweetest souls and I think of you fondly

Reading things like this always takes me back to when Ludwig said, "I think it's a constant war when someone dies, to keep them as much as you can in your life, and you can't because you lose to time, every time." (timestamp is 23:49 onwards)

The way it hits every time will always be that strong, I think.

“I miss you more than I remember you” is always the core of grieving a parent who died when you were a kid

Six Sentences Sunday!

Tagged by @kiwiana-writes, @happiness-of-the-pursuit, and everyone else with the tag-back from my tag-then. (LOL.)

Here are six sentences (lines?) from my ongoing Exes to What? fic that I have already shared in the server, but wanted to put it here as well anyway.

henryfox: I’m sorry, I can't tell whether I've made you up or if this is actually real. Letting out a snort, Alex sits up against the headboard and briefly ruffles his hair before he opens his phone to the camera. Giving it a grin and sending it over to Henry before he can stare at it long enough and decide to start a whole photoshoot. theagcd: [photo] theagcd: ill let u be the judge of that henryfox: Real, then.

Tagging back MJ and Rhys above, but also @read-and-write-, @littlemisskittentoes, @14carrotghoul, @44whispers, @blairwaldcrf, @clottedcreamfudge, @inexplicablymine, @affectionatelyrs, @rockyroadkylers, @later-2-dae, @matherines, @hgejfmw-hgejhsf! (open tag to everyone too!) Because this is where I'm reading my share of fanfic for now, while I haven't gotten the time to go binge read again.

Six Sentence Sunday

Six Sentence Sunday

Today I am using Six Sentence Sunday to unveil my new banner and Official Title™ of the RWRB dads' storyline swap fic — though the working title of Daddy Issues has been fun, it really doesn't fit the ~vibes~ so without further ado, it's now named... Honey, you're familiar (like my mirror years ago).

This fic is lowkey an accidental song fic for "From Eden" and I'm kinda obsessed. Without further ado, enjoy this excerpt (warning for reference to loss of parent):

If Oscar Díaz were here, maybe he’d ask, “Isn’t that the boy you had that crush on, mijo?” Maybe he’d make an observation, something like “He’s a looker.” Maybe he’d urge Alex on, whispering, “Trust the Díaz charm. Shoot your shot, chamaco.” But he’s not here, and the truth is Alex doesn’t know what his father would say.  So instead, he just has to trust his gut — which is telling him to turn away from the hot almost-naked boys and approach the hot English-prince-son-of-James-Bond boy. He may be fully clothed — in a button down and blazer in Rio in August — but he’s featured in way too many of Alex’s dreams for him to miss this opportunity.

Six Sentence Sunday

Thanks @anincompletelist for the tag! <3

You guessed it, Figure Skating AU, waiting for the poll to finish so it gets an official name and having a posting schedule that I won't share publicly because I don't want to jinx it for now

He breathes in and looks at the stars, only a few of them can be seen and not one of them belongs to Orion, Henry knows this, and still he convinces himself he can see it, that Orion stares directly back at him, holding him like an anchor that keeps him from drifting away.

No pressure tagging! @inexplicablymine @ssmtskw @affectionatelyrs @everwitch-magiks @14carrotghoul @heybuddy-drabbles @rockyroadkylers and everyone who sees this and thinks "oh my last line was a banger, i want people to see." this is for you
