I’d have to send my coat to my tailor for her to fix the collar bit, but that aside there’s nothing much else that I need to do. Barring the cap and belt, that is. I’d be picking up the cap on Friday (ahaha military cap lol) and well, yeah.
I’m glad, because most of the stuff I need for Ayanami have already come in. The wig came in yesterday (first thing in the morning, too!) and yeahhhh.
So, wig test. Haven’t done something like that in ages, and it felt so strange doing it. I’m really drifting away from cosplay, somewhat, especially with this fic eating me alive.
I kinda like silver hair.
Though I highly doubt I’d be mad enough to bleach my hair that, or something.

When I started writing ‘These Dreams‘, I didn’t particularly think of any point in canon to place it. Then now I realized, I could throw it into the same fic-verse as ‘The Day Night Fell‘.
That, the most pointless realization ever.
That said, I kinda want opinions on chapter 2, is it too long, is it too draggy, was the death scene pointless, how was the characterization, yes, that. Seriously, there needs to be a community dedicated to stuff like this, because I have this sneaking suspicion my writing-style scares people, guh.
The weekend amused me, too.
The two more productive days of writing that I swore I wouldn’t be doing any writing. Mhn.

I’ve never been particularly close to any of my colleagues at work (not the previous two other instructors, really) but apparently I’m kinda socializing more with these two other instructors (who not-so conveniently live all the way at the other end of the island), as well as the younger girl who’s gone back to JC.
So it kinda surprised me that I initiated the entire ‘Eh guys, let’s go for dinner on Friday’ last Tuesday, because I almost NEVER do that.
Then again, it’s also known as ‘instructor’s bitch session’ because for one, all three of us dislike the newest Maths instructor greatly (entirely useless and demands to leave early when we’re still hanging around, rushing marking and gradings), and exchanging comments on the kids’ work (‘The frog jumped into the steam’ and ‘He butt the toast’, mhn).
Was exceedingly amused that I saw an ex-student when we went there for dinner.
In other news: Dad came back with a mini-stash from Air Show, which I didn’t notice until just now when I went down for a glass of milk.
And in more random other news: I find it funny. I tell myself I’m not going to write ANYTHING for the fic I’ve been dedicating my soul to until Monday comes around and my creativity has recharged itself, but this morning, I wake up and find myself writing another page for it.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.

So I simply threw a name and label onto the multi-chapter ‘The Day Night Fell’, terming it ‘Nightfall Series’ for easier tagging.
I just finished the second chapter of the fic, and for some reason, it tires me out immensely. I forsee myself writing Ayanami and Yukikaze fic under the same fic-verse as the fic, but I’ll do that uh, when I’m actually done with this fic. Need to review what I’ve written so far, including the first chapter and possible more implications between Ayanami and Yukikaze, even though the first chapter’s been posted already. Oh well, I can always use flashback scenes…
I’m really thankful for friends who’ve been helping me along this fic. I really do need people to juggle ideas back and forth, really.
It doesn’t help I thought up an Aya/Tei fic (which I don’t even know how the pairing works) that inevitably leads to Aya/Hyu. Guh.
Yawning non-stop again. I’m taking a bit of a break from the fic, because I think I need to momentarily let my creative juices recharge for the next chapter which will… probably be an angst-emo-fest that explores some aspects of actual grief and loss and everything like that.
And so I’ll just go grab milk, and then crash and sleep. Really tired.

This I promised may_billy, a little multi-chapter I’d been working on. Dark-fic, posted a little teaser yesterday, but this probably is the entire of the first chapter. Currently working on the second, which will undoubtedly be a lot darker than the first chapter.
And this is mostly foundation.
Oh fic, why do you demand so much research? This one has blood and sweat and tears poured in, with all the researching (good god, one whole page full of notes?) and help from so many people.
Title: The Day Night Fell
Fandom: 07-Ghost

Warning: Character (canonical) death, use of medication, self-hurt, angst, dark-fic. Pre-post Raggs War. SPOILERS FOR EVENTS OF THE BEIGLEITER ONE-SHOT AND MANGA. TIMELINE IS ENTIRELY FICTIONAL. THIS ISNT CANON, DAMNNIT.

To do this. Basically research the entire military ranking and position system to figure out what a person would be ranked at before gaining a Chief of Staff position, and what various other ranks would be if they weren’t that rank.
Basically what I started on is a long multi-chapter 07-Ghost fic (The Day Night Fell), based on a few things and that it’s supposed to be the darkest I’ve written, although the first few parts are pretty light-hearted and everything. For now, anyway.
And my hair is a spiky mess. Bed-head, literally.
Also, preview of fic. Still working on it, and I am very, very thankful to miura_mika, sairenmizuko, sringangel (for being my idea-shredder and beta-readers of the sort), Xak, and Val (for the CoS help thingamajig).

I have never been one for metal songs, but oh god this song has literally killed me alive. The strings in the track made me jawdrop almost instantly. Then I read up and then I knew why.
They’re cellists on symphonic metal.
Somehow, I’m thankful to Sring for throwing me the link (and here I was saying I was writing emo fics lollll). Probably will listen to the rest of their songs and see if the Worlds Collide album catches my interest.
And randomly, parents bought pussy willows for CNY deco. Arranging them is my job lol, and we were selecting them (parents wanted colored ones, but dropped the idea when we realized it was dyed and the dye was getting all over my hands) just after dinner.
As a result, I have pink/purple hands. Guh.

Considerably a ’sister’ fic to miura_mika’s ‘The Weird Case of the Marimo‘. This is what happens when your Shousa decides that it’ll be fun to buy a ball of algae and finding out that Wiki states that taking good care of one grants you one wish.
Yes, the strange ideas you get.
Crack-fic, really. Because ONLY the Black Hawks can achieve such utter stupidity.
Enjoy while I work out the kinks for the next fic.
Title: The Curious Case of the Cladophora
Fandom: 07-Ghost
Character(s): Black Hawks centric.
Warnings: Utter stupidity that only the Black Hawks can achieve.
Synopsis: It isn’t any surprise that Konatsu has resorted to entirely untested means.
