State of Me:
Things leveled out? I do not feel actively unhinged anymore, so that's positive. Winters are always a hard time for me; I drag. So I've been giving myself permission to take things easy, to take days off from tags, that sort of thing. I think it's going well! ALSO, the maternity cover that I was doing at work finished TODAY, so that's a weight off, too. And I'm getting closer and closer to getting married, which is both delightful and terrifying.

ANYWAY.

The Future:
I think I'm finally, after years of talking about it, going to commit and put Paul Schafer/Pwyll Twiceborn from the Fionavar Tapestry on reserve. I love him, okay? Wounded, Canadian, avatar of the Thunder God? Ben Barne's face? What's not to like?

State of Me:
So my mental health took a MAJOR dive in the latter half of last half term, to the point where I had to go through a risk assessment at work. So. That was awesome? On the plus side, I think the drops that I made were the right choice and I feel WAY more connected to the game than I did the last time I wrote one of these, which is DEFINITELY a good sign. I am trying so, so hard, guys.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AGES, I'm ready to consider having a queue again! Right now, I'm torn between Paul Schafer from The Fionavar Tapestry (avatar of a god, heartbroken, loyal and sad and clever) and Jake Portman from The Peculiar Children books (peculiar, brave, total disregard for personal safety) and Andrea Quill/Andra'ath who I thought was absolutely the best part of Class (alien, warrior, War Itself</i>.

So basically, if you have thoughts on this, you should definitely help me decide!

State of Me:
I'm feeling a little bit...disconnected at the moment. I've got a lot of threads, and they're awesome, but they're mostly private. At some point, I think I consciously stopped making reqs so that I couldn't app and I had a really rough summer where my creativity was concerned and I don't think I ever really managed to get myself on track. So my aim for the winter is to reestablish the characters I'm playing, get back into the game with the ones I'm neglecting and then, maybe, I can think about apping again some time in the Spring.

Right, onto...

NO FUTURE because this is the perfect number of pups. For now.
If you read that, I love you. Squee makes me live.

State of Me:
I'm good! I am into the last term of my first year of the job I started in September and it's...still pretty good! I get tired a lot, and I'm basically working six days a week still, which sucks, but I have plenty of time to tag at the pace I prefer to. I'd still like to keep my roster to a manageable size, though. I'm up to five pups, and that feels totally doable, but I need to be careful as I start to move forward, I think. I know what I'm like. Last week, I interviewed for a promotion at work. It's only a maternity cover, so it's a limited term, but it's going to come with a MUCH increased work/stressload so I really need to play it by ear until I see how that feels.

THAT SAID, onto the pups.

I haven't written one of these since - God - May 2014. I've been playing at Darrow since 1st August and man am I enjoying myself. I had sort of forgotten how much fun RP could be. I am practising a lot of self-care where RP is concerned these days and so far so good! I have a tiny little roster so far, but I am looking forward to playing at Darrow for a while.

Onto the pups!

Beca Mitchell | Pitch Perfect
Beca made it out of Silent Darrow having killed Jesse. She got the shit kicked out of her and she's having a hard time being around Jesse. In the short-term, that's going to mean reverting to the slightly self-destructive Beca that we see in canon. She's going to make some poor choices involving a certain rockstar but, since certain rockstar is TOTALLY into dudes, there's a limit to how much Beca will actually do. Still, her and Jesse will have to do some serious work to come back from it. She loves him, it'll be okay but, right now, she's hurting. Threads with friends TOTALLY WELCOME. If you'd be up for a thread, let me know.

Then, in the mid/long term, once they've made up, Brad and I have decided that Beca and Jesse will be getting pregnant. Which, obviously, will be a LOT for them, with them both basically being kids, but there have been younger parents who've done brilliantly and I think it'd be really interesting character development for Beca. So, yes, tiny little girl named after a Sci-Fi legend on the horizon.

Brody Moyer | Ground Floor
I...am almost entirely sure that I'm going to drop Brody. I think I have to admit to myself that there is a certain type of 'comedy' pup that I am not good at, and Brody is one of them. Which sucks, because I love him and I love his canon, but I've just struggled to find his place in Darrow and I think it might be time to let him go.

Newt | The Mazerunner
Oh, my God, Newt. Neeeeeeeeeeeeewt. Okay, so I was so, so excited to bring in Newt because I love him and then I had the quickest app turn around EVER which was awesome. Newt's over his debut and feeling pretty good now. Silent Darrow was rough on him - he didn't go, but two of his favourite people did and he half convinced himself they were gone for good. So relief is pretty much his defining characteristic right now.

And then there's his love life. Oh, goodness. SO, he's been pretty into Al since....pretty much the first day they met and, with Al's return from Darrow, ~progress has been made. However, Al's self esteem issues are going to be an obstacle for them to get over. Which is further complicated by the fact that Newt is also well on his way to falling for Joseph Kavinsky -- which, frankly, is no surprise because I have had a soft spot for Kavinsky since I read TDT. Newt got high with/screwed Kavinsky basically because he was going out of his mind with grief/worry and now...there are feelings involved. It's headcanon for me that Newt and Alby were a thing in the Glade, probably along with Minho and monogamy just...isn't a thing for Newt. The ideal for him is figuring out a way to be with both of them in some configuration. He's good for both of them and he's good for them in different ways. His designation isn't the Glue for nothing. Whatever ends up happening (and no matter how many times he has to hear that Kavinsky is ~bad news) I can't wait to see how everything turns out.


The Future:
Iiiiii would really like to bring in a new pup at some point, but I am unsure of who that should be. I have a few ideas but the two at the front of my mind right now are Paul Schafer from the Fionavar Tapestry who has been on my mind basically forever and who I think would do really well in Darrow with his sort of god-like powers. But then there's also Danny from London Spy. I've had one episode so far and I've got no idea where it's going but god, I love him. So I suppose we'll see.

EDIT TO ADD: Or, I could just crack and put Connor Walsh from How To Get Away with Murder on reserve. One bitchy law student coming soon to a city near you! I had such fun on TD that I was helpless in the face of him. Also, John Constantine. Might be sooner than I think.

IF YOU READ THIS FAR, I LOVE YOUR FACE>
