“Part 1” of The Rose Field was chapters 1-8. “Part 2” is twice as long (chapters 9-22), and I haven’t gotten any less chatty. So you’re getting a Post 2A and a Post 2B. Look forward to a 3A and a 3B to finish off the set.

As of this roundup, I’ve finished the whole book. Post will have light spoilers, in the notes I put in while editing. Comments are a free-for-all.

Still adding relevant BBC HDM screencaps to break up the text.

Sidenote: At some point in the middle of the original liveblog, I managed to injure my hand. Nowhere near as bad as Lyra’s — I kept an ice pack on it for the first several hours, and within two days, it only hurt if I touched/bent the injured part wrong. (The next week saw a steady decrease in which kinds of motion counted as “doing it wrong.”)

But every time I did, I remembered how Lyra’s spent this whole book with full-on broken fingers, and have an extra wince of sympathy. The only treatment she’s had is some (rose-scented) salve. She hasn’t even splinted them! Has to be a miserable, constant pain.

Lyra portal screencap, in here twice because I like it

( Didn’t you set off to find Lyra’s imagination? You must have had some idea of what you were looking for... )

Question: if you write or read poly ships, what are some of your favorite tropes/scenarios/situations? For example, most of the time I write it in a universe where poly is accepted because I rarely want to write the kind of story where characters are fighting discrimination or illegitimacy because those are topics much more serious than I want to deal with. Occasionally, it will be considered 'unusual' but that's as far as I usually go. Not outlawed or violently shamed.

---

Some reasons I like poly ships because they present an interesting alternative to consider (from a ficcer's viewpoint) and because they challenge conventional definitions of relationship. I have written more than a few of them and they generally fall into certain categories:

PWP threesomes/moresomes
poly Omegaverse packs
romance-leading-to-commitment threesomes

(or sometimes all of the above)

I've written Holmes/Watson/Mary Watson in ACD canon; various permutations of Sherlock/John/Lestrade/Mycroft in BBC Sherlock (both original recipe and genderswapped). I've even written John/Harry/Clara for an incest challenge. And BTS being seven members usually means that there's a threesome somewhere. Or a full-on poly pack situation with Omegaverse. I have written Mad Hatter tea party porn as well as this Snow White and the Seven Dwarves porn. Please heed the tags.

( I know it isn’t my turn, but it’s been a week.. )

Let’s try some POV practice. Take a scene from one of your fics ( or someone else’s, you can link to it) and write it in a different POV. For example, try writing it in first person.

a.k.a. "Shuos Jedao says howdy from the land of Battlefleet Gothic and pinochle trauma" - we'll see if the local game store is interested in carrying this and/or some of the other 11"x17" prints as they've carried my smaller art prints in the past.

Meanwhile, back to napping (recuperating from sickness) and/or schoolwork.

Two months later, finally posting about finishing Metaphor: ReFantazio. Looking back at my last Metaphor post I was only at the Dragon Temple on Virga Island, but looking at my notes on my phone I stopped writing anything down until near the end lmaoo.

So, thoughts overall: I enjoyed it. If you enjoy the format of a Persona game but would like it set in a fantasy world (dungeon crawling mixed with social links, turn-based battles with summon strategization) then you'll probably enjoy playing this too. The battles are fun but I think the characters are the real highlight of the game. Like with many RPGs, there's a colorful cast with lots of drama and heartfelt moments. I think Eupha and Basilio remain my faves, but I also really liked Hulkenberg and Junah too.

( Metaphor ReFantazio yapping continues )

After beating Metaphor I finally started playing Hades II! It's just as fun as the first game and I'm enjoying the new stuff they added to the gameplay. I think my favorite weapons are the axe and the knives and the skull....but they're all pretty good except for that mecha armor thing I used it once and was so bad at it sjdhfkjsdf never again.

( Hades II yapping continues )

Unfortunately the past few weeks my free time for gaming has been taken up not by Hades but by Overwatch instead. 😑 Every time I think I'm free... And now they've released 5 new heroes at once and this damn Sanrio collab!!!

Chapter 161: Sako scolding the shit out of Kanuma, Inugami and Arima for interrupting his conversation with Hiiragi. =P

Aw Kusumi hiding behind Enomoto.

Sako getting jealous of Inugami talking to Hiiragi. 😂

Kaji smiling while remembering he, Sako and Hiiragi's past friendship. :')

Nirei doing the face again when Suou finds Kanuma. 🤣

Chapter 162: Sakura was so cute making sure to tell Togame to let him know if ~~they~~ he needed anything.

Lovely scene between Umemiya and Sakura. <3

Sakura beating himself up over not being perfect but Umemiya's not perfect either! No one is and I hope he realizes that someday.

Hiiragi calling Sakura pure and everyone worrying about how he runs head-first into things.

"We'll always keep showing you that we absolutely love being with you. That you're someone that we all cherish."

Sakura's pure delight at the fireworks ahhh.

Chapter 163: So Sugishita lives with his grandparents. The grandad would drive me nuts.

Sugishita spitting out his coffeeee.

Momose seems pretty cute and kind now that we see more of his personality.

Lol so Sugishita is struggling with the fact that he found Sakura cool. I love how everyone was trying to figure out what he was saying when he was trying to stutter out 'cool'.

Sugishita's dentist must hate all the teeth-grinding he does. If he even has one.

Summary: Responding to Cay's kiss had been foolish, but not the most foolish thing she'd done in the past few hours
A/N: Realized that I hadn't written a "Desert Hearts" fic yet this year, so this makes up for it.

In looking through the stuff on my floor today, in trying to figure out what I don't particularly want anymore, I made one of the bigger decisions in that vein in a while: I tossed out old novel drafts.

I don't need them anymore, and while I want them, I don't want them enough to keep them around. I've got the full drafts on my hard drive. I figured I didn't need the notes I took anymore, so the pages they're on might as well get set aside for recycling. It's a decision I've wanted to make I haven't bothered to make until today. Speaking of, there's four bags of books set aside for another Strand run - mostly from high-end salvaging through the neighborhood, a couple I bought ages ago that I have to say goodbye to. If I'd wanted to give them to someone, I'd have done so by now; keeping them is more a reminder of the idea of giving them to someone, the idea of that someone, than any specific plans I haven't acted on yet. It's something I need to accept over and over again, and each time it's the same stages and steps of the process of doing so. Investing in another external hard drive so I can divest myself of DVD box sets is aspirational in comparison.

I've got a box set aside for papers. If it fits in there, I can keep them. That's the goal. The best way to achieve that goal is to find the papers I've got that could conceivably be put in there. First, though, the Strand run tomorrow, and a library run for some of the DVD box sets to find their way to another good home.
