What I'm Working On Wednesday
Jan. 20th, 2022 10:16 pmLet's pretend it's Wednesday and not Thursday, a'ight?
This past week I finished some pics as a pinch-hit collab, so I'm not sure if it's something that I can show. I also finished the fic that I posted a snippet of last week. Here's another snippet where I'm being snarky about media:
I sewed two more masks, one during the Sunday zoom Chinese class that Miss Rutabaga is taking, and one during a board meeting tonight. The first one is for a teacher at school whose face is too big for normal masks. The second one is for Miss Rutabaga, although it might be too tall and need some adjustment / re-sewing.
I'm also currently trying to figure out the outline of a fic -- I have a vague sense of the lead-up to the reveal, but not sure where to go after the reveal (and whether I want it to go anywhere at all). It's a fic with very well-worn tropes, so I'm not sure if I'm writing anything that I'd want to read. (If I start writing and I'm like "but I already read this, done better by someone else," then I just go re-read that person's fic, and lose all impetus to write my own. Which means that I need to do enough of my own spin that I'd want to write it.)
Anyways, that's what I worked on this past week.

Sam chuckles at that and opens his blue blanket briefly to let Steve set Bucky down in the blanket cocoon. “Hey Bucky, which of these generic tv shows should we watch? Predictable hijinks shall ensue.”
Bucky nestles against Sam’s warm body and squints at the bland, nearly identical-looking video title images, each featuring some mixture of men and women in some gritty medieval fantasy setting.
“How about the one in the middle? It seems to have a few more women, at least.” Bucky says, eliciting another chuckle from Sam.

Steve frowns at the screen, where the showrunners seem to have decided that the only way to make exposition interesting was to have the character explain it while fucking a woman who the narrative will discard once the exposition is complete. “Anything’s better than this.”
