I never make the same mistake twice. I make it like five or six times, just to be sure
she’s all wit and wildness, all brilliance and beauty she’s the type of kindness I want to be because she smiles during rainstorms and screams at the stars and her laughter is the sound that makes flower bloom and her rage, oh, it’s the thing that burns empires because she stands up and never keeps quiet and she’s always there to hold my hand when things get terrifying she’s the sunrise after the winter solstice the thing that looks gone but just comes back even stronger and she sometimes doesn’t realize that there’s no limits on her power she is fireworks gleaming overhead, bursting and crackling in chaos

“No. We’re not dating. We just know everything about each other. And check to make sure the other is okay. And smile randomly across the room at each other. And have full conversations with just facial expressions. And do everything together. And buy things for each other. And comfort each other. And genuinely believe in each other. But no. We’re not dating.”

And you make jokes because you’re afraid to take anything seriously. Because if you take things seriously, they matter.

I decided I needed to change my blog theme. On my previous one, you had to scroll down before posts would pop up at all, the space between paragraphs was much smaller on my blog than elsewhere, and I was starting to notice that posts I reblogged lost their capitalization. However, on my new theme, my background image isn’t behind my whole blog anymore and I’m not crazy about the title being on the side, and also it doesn’t seem to show my tags which I need to fix because my tags are important to my rambling. I might try reworking this one a bit more, or I might go looking for another theme, or I might just go back to my old one with all its quirks and flaws because at this point I liked it better. Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe I’m a bit too picky about this.
While I’m doing blog housekeeping stuff, I did post that playlist I mentioned. I’ve heard that posts with links on them don’t always show up on tumblr and since my previous rambly textpost got more likes than my fanmix has so far, I thought I’d mention that in case anyone just didn’t see it who was looking for it.
Anyways, I hope I’m doing a decent job of balancing fandoms. I know at one point I advertised myself as a Gotham blog when I’m really becoming more of a multifandom blog, but I think I’m keeping a fairly even mix of Gotham and Series of Unfortunate Events stuff, plus cats, obviously. My fandoms will most likely change many more times over the course of this blog, but in any case, thanks for reading my ramblings.
It’s a weird time for me fandom-wise. Normally, the way I cycle through obsessions, I’d be fading out on Gotham in favor of A Series of Unfortunate Events, because that’s kind of just how I process things, cycling from one fandom into another, and then back around again after taking a break for a while. But now Gotham is coming back, and both because I’m on tumblr now and because it’s exciting and rare for me to be current on a show I’ll want to keep up with it, especially since this is the final season, even though I was getting a little burned out on my obsession with it. But also, I’m in rehearsals for a play right now (which I need to leave for soon) and so I’ll be missing it live tonight (and for all of January) and I’ll have to stay off tumblr tonight until I can see it on hulu tomorrow--probably not until after rehearsal again, actually. Also I was going to try to put out a season 3 inspired Nygmobblepot fanmix before Gotham came back but that’s not getting done in the next 5 minutes so I suppose it’ll just have to come out this weekend amidst the rush on season 5 premiere stuff. Also I got a Doctor Who audio drama for Christmas and I’ve been listening to that in the car on the way to and from work, so it’s like I’m actively consuming things from 3 of my fandoms all at once, which is probably not that strange for most people, but which is rather strange for me given the way in which I obsess over things.
tl;dr--I’m going to try and put up a Nygmobblepot fanmix I’ve been working on this weekend, but because of play rehearsal I won’t be able to watch Gotham live on TV this month so I’ll be watching a day behind on hulu and avoiding tumblr in the space inbetween.
