Maybe, just maybe, Ilya can admit the Spyder is a bit suspicious. The Raiders license plate is not helping things but the Lambo has the vanity plate ROZY so what was he supposed to do? Take his Ferrari to pick up his boyfriend? No. Let his boyfriend take a cab to his house from the airport? Absolutely not.

Luckily Shane is helping the situation by dressing like a broke frat boy in a hoodie that he’s had since he was seventeen years old (Ilya would know), a backwards Blue Jays hat, sweatpants, with nothing but a duffle and an insulated tote bag

In which; The Hollanders take Ilya on a last minute road trip. Yuna is concerned about Ilya’s career, Shane wants to be the best boyfriend possible, Ilya wants to pay for a damn meal, and David is just happy to be in the kitchen.

A Prequel to “One For The Road” but both can stand alone

This looks a bit potentially canonical video on what type of curtains to buy if you’re looking for a curtains.

Among the tips: definitely don’t buy curtains with grommets at the top (the holes within the curtains themselves) and instead get ripping rings (which are similar in function to a shower curtain with shower rings). Part of the reason for this is because—if need be—you can buy adjustable curtain hooks, which can give you one or two inches of wiggle room so that you can help ensure that the bottom of the curtains just kiss the floor.

The creator also points out that the more intricate the pleading, the more expensive the curtains will look (and be), and as that goes, her go-to is triple French pleating. That said, she also concedes that double pleading is easier to find and also more affordable, so that might also be an option too.

For dimensions:
• To get the length of the curtain rod, you should take the width of the window and then add 8 to 10 inches *on each side*. So for instance, if your window might be 70 inches wide, a curtain rod of 90 inches would be suitable.

• And the curtain rod should be attached 10 to 12 inches above the top of the window. And based on that, you can figure out what length of curtains to order because the bottom of the curtains should juuust kiss the floor.

• Each curtain panel, which are the things that are on each side of the window, should themselves be the full width of the window. The idea here is that you need the curtain panels to be that wide so that when the curtains are open, you can get that nice pleasant bunching of the curtains on either side of the window.

I answered some questions I got on an ask game I posted here.

Cassandra Cain

How I feel about this character. She's one of my favourite DC characters, and one I consider amongst the best yet tragically most underused in the franchise. Her original run was superb (even if it declined in quality overtime, its final arc and her character development remains better and shows more promise than most of what DC's done outside its flagship heroes.
All the people I ship romantically with this character. So many women LMAO. I'm not kidding. Way too many. I have a WIP called "Five women Cassandra Cain slept with after breaking up with the love of her life" and containing myself or even picking just five was a struggle. Kate Kane, Barbara Gordon (in an unrequited love way tbf), Stephanie Brown, Rose Wilson, Diana, Onyx, Brenda Miller… Name me a female character I can see as at least a little bit queer and there's at least a 50/50 chance I can picture them together.
My non-romantic OTP for this character. In canon, Barbara. In my own imagines where I can totally see them becoming best friends, Mia Dearden. Oh, and Tai'Darshan.
My unpopular opinion about this character. Bruce is no better with her than with his other charges, and certainly no "girl dad." And I see Stephcass as doomed and incompatible, in the end.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. In my wildest dreams, her corruption(-then-return) arc would've like. Actually good lmao.

Frodo

How I feel about this character. I've only read LOTR once, a few years ago (in newsletter format, when Dracula Daily and its imitators were all the rage). I can't say I have in-depth thoughts about him (or about much about the saga), but I liked him, more than I expected. I once talked about seeing similarities between him and my first original protagonist, actually.
All the people I ship romantically with this character. I don't strictly ship it myself (to me shipping requires actively seeking out the ship, fanworks, etc.), but it's easy to see why people like Frodo/Sam. Though if I were incline to shipping something with Frodo, I think Frodo/Gollum is where it's at lol. I love a good dark-mirror pairing.
My non-romantic OTP for this character. Golum, for the same reason.
My unpopular opinion about this character. Well, the LOTR fans I've met in person have all gone on about how Frodo isn't All That Great and Samwise is The REAL (Sole) Hero of LOTR, or a much better and character, and I disagree with that. Sam is admirable in many fronts, but I find Frodo very aspirational and, frankly, more interesting.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. I can't think of anything. The one change I always want to do to LOTR is basically "hey what about putting more, and more relevant, women in here?", so I guess that's what I would've done with his companions lol. Or with Frodo himself. Bring in Frodelia.

Willow Rosenberg

How I feel about this character. Willow is a character I sometimes saw myself reflected in a bit too much for my liking, in ways that maybe aren't obvious at first sight, which could be uncomfortable sometimes LOL. That said, with every rewatch I've done since I first watched the show, I've found myself loving her more and more. I'd consider her one of my top favourite characters in the entire 'verse. This could mean I'm winning the self-esteem war xD
All the people I ship romantically with this character. Tara, Faith, Kennedy, Kendra, Buffy, Amy, Anya… I'd probably add more women to the list if I had the show more recent LOL.
My non-romantic OTP for this character. Buffy. And although I'm saying this a bit begrudgingly because I do have my issues with the guy (though not as many/not the same as other people's), Xander LOL. Their scene in the season 6 finale always made me sob.
My unpopular opinion about this character. I don't even know where to begin LOL. I feel Willow, like many others in this 'verse, is a very polarising character, so every opinion seems fair game. I think liking Killow/Wennedy (?) is relatively unpopular, though.
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon. I have seen people say they wish the show had done more with her Jewish faith. On the one hand, I think it could've been interesting to explore something like that vis a vis paganism, but honestly she never felt all that observant to me and I don't know that I'd believe any ~crisis of faith stuff with her, on that front. But that could've been interesting too, showing her reject cultural and religious practices, etc.

It's still not Friday??? HOW CAN THAT BE?

I will be spending the day working and doing a bunch of chores I couldn't do while I was stuck in the office yesterday. I would like it noted for the record that I have almost 300,000 words of fic waiting to be read in open tabs, and I am awarding myself a GOLD STAR for not (yet) succumbing to that temptation.

Ilya Rozanov has spent ten years circling Shane Hollander. Ten years of hotel rooms and secret phone calls. Ten years of pretending he doesn't feel it, doesn't need it, doesn't wake up reaching for someone who's already gone. Ten years convincing himself he's not good enough. That he's not worth it.

Then a plane needs to make an emergency landing near Montreal, and Yuna Hollander is on it.

So when Shane calls him from a bathroom floor, unable to breathe, Ilya stops pretending.

After five hundred miles of frozen highway, three and a half hours of driving like a man possessed, a hospital waiting room full of people who have every reason to hate him, and a boy who looks at him like he's something worth keeping, Ilya may have learned a thing or two about what it means to be loved—and to let himself love freely.

Shane shifts on their bed as he types out, You have a game on Tuesday. You need to sleep.

Ilya: so help me

Shane groans. He can picture Ilya’s knowing little smirk, his chiseled face awash in his phone’s glow. As far as Shane knows, the buses don’t have beds, so Ilya’s sitting in a seat. Surrounded by their teammates.

You might get caught, Shane argues feebly.

like i give a fuck? comes the inevitable reply. i havent kissed you in a week. i am dying hollander ok. dying. can you live with that? knowing i died because you did not want to sext your husband?

Beside himself, Shane smiles while he types. Yes.

Or: Shane is sick and Ilya misses him. It goes about how you'd expect.

Summary: Five people who were surprised by Anne and Wentworth's engagement, and one who wasn't.

Reccer's Notes: Anne's siblings (and siblings-in-law) are not the only ones reacting to news of the engagement in this story, but they are most of the people reacting. I love the way the news causes each of them to re-evaluate Anne, and what they thought they knew.

Summary: Being a cat for three weeks has repercussions, it turns out.

Jason snacks his way through one of them. Damian reads books. Both of them drink a lot of tea. It's nice, mostly, which Jason finds highly suspicious.

Reccer's Notes: This is sweet and deeply in character for both of them

Hayden watches Shane, almost expecting him to go, "wow, I was hacked while we were at practice, look at these weird messages!". But no such luck. Shane smiles.

A real smile, a big one, his text from Lily smile. God, Hayden was so sure they were sending each other endless strings of heart emojis and "I miss you more" "no, I miss you more"s, not…that. Never in a million years would he have guessed that.

Or: 5 times someone's shocked to learn that Shane's a little freaky, +1 time someone isn't (Words: 5,910)

For a few months last year, I set up a weekly planning/review system related to my writing habits. I'm not totally sure when I stopped, but I think it might have been because I've internalised a lot of what I was learning. My goal was to teach myself to write more often, so I'd start the week's planning with "write 8 times this week" with the understanding that 15 minutes puttering around a project counts as a writing session (can be brainstorming, writing, editing, organising my notes if my brain struggles with the other things, so the project at least stays familiar in my head). I wish I could sustain like 4h writing marathons, but at this current point in my life, logistics and health stuff means longer sessions are just not happening. That's why I've been exploring whether writing more often can work for me.

As part of the planning, one of the questions I was told to write the answer for is "What are the obstacles?" That's something I always consider now. For example, if I have family visiting, am travelling, or preparing for a stressful presentation, whatever, it's going to affect my focus. So how am I going to mitigate that? Maybe it's fairer to plan for 5 sessions after all. Or maybe I should assume a session's length of 5 minutes is fair for that week, even if that means just spending 5 minutes rereading what I wrote before to keep the story alive in my head. Maybe both, maybe something else. Preparing and writing down the mitigations as part of the planning really helped me because I don't always think straight in the middle of it all.

Anyway, two obstacles I nearly always ended up writing down are:

Can't make myself focus
Can't make myself start

Like, I have a very good system for writing in the morning, it's part of my routine, but later in the day nearly always felt like bodyslamming against a wall. In the end, the solutions that turned out to be effective were the same for both. And after a while, I just printed them out so I have a poster with the list beside my computer! (Not that I always remember to look at it 🥲 but after a couple of days of sighing and doing nothing, my eyes will usually land on it and I'll go, oh!! Who knew!!!!!).

Anyway, here are the tips I landed on to mitigate this in a way that works well with my brain:

Sanctuary mindset
Deep breaths, 3-5 times
Quiet music with no lyrics. If that's not enough, same but with headphones.
Separate computer profile for writing
Wifi off

( Digging a bit more into the details and also why I think this works well for my specific brain and issues )

1. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go and why?

The next place on our bucket list is Hawaii. We just signed up for a cruise to 5 ports of call in Hawaii. We’re very excited about it. It was on both of our lists. It’s for April in 2027.

The next place is going to be Key West. Hubby wants to go really badly. That will be for 2028. I couldn’t care less. But I don’t tell him that.
