Things I'm doing instead of Doomscrolling
Feb. 21st, 2026 09:00 pmglory_jeanAlright.
I might not post here daily but I am going to post a little. Randomness no doubt. Maybe actual fandom stuff.Hey have you seen Heated Rivalry?
Things I'm doing instead of Doomscrolling: Lazy Cooking
So I hate cooking but I have to do a lot more of lately. And because we all have different foodisms I sometime make lazy food just for myself.
We used to make french bread pizza which is super easy *but* the real way; slicing a baguette, putting on toppings, baking - is kind of a pain actually.
So my lazy way is basically an open-faced grilled cheese on steroids.
Sourdough bread - I get the rosemary kind, but whatever
leftover marinara sauce- or skip, it who cares
mozzarella cheese
pepperoni - or whatever
microwave it for a minute - or I guess you could put it in a pan if you're fancy and to take the time
Done.
Then eat food and stay off the internets.

Happy Lent
Feb. 18th, 2026 11:46 pmglory_jeanSo begins Lent and my observance - not so much for religious reasons - but more for self flagellation.
The premise is looking in a mirror and yelling at myself - why tf you not writing??
So during lent I'm giving up... not writing? (Just go with me on this.)
So the rules are simple. I either have to write something creative, a fanfic, an original fic - something I like. Or I have to post to one of my journals - aka blog- which I apparently don't like but do a lot.
So game on I guess.
and we're not in the subjunctive, either. it's going to happen.
Feb. 12th, 2026 11:35 amkaydeefallsI finally finished a thing! Somehow, this is the longest single fic I've ever written, and I have no idea why. But here we are. Yay, team.
This fic secretly owes a debt to History Boys - that's where the recurring theme of the subjunctive originated. I find it fitting that my original queer British schoolboy fandom has bled out into my current one.

Summary:
"The subjunctive is the mood of uncertainty, right? What might have been. Or might be someday. It's…hopeful. You don't know for sure, but maybe." Nick gives Elle a crooked smile. "It's the mood of possibility."
Canon divergence AU: Nick befriends Elle first. Charlie and the others come along as a package deal. And it turns out that accidentally fake dating your bestie gets even more complicated when you catch feelings for someone else...
