Thank you everyone for being interested in my knitting, I didn't really expect anyone to notice!

These are one of my favorite FOs of the year: Wishmaker Mitts by Erica Heusser, made with Knit Picks Palette in Caribbean, Cream and Marine Heather.

I made these for someone else but I like them so much I'm seriously considering buying more marine heather so I can make myself a pair.

I mean this in an entirely complimentary way: Network Effect feels like fanfiction.

By which I mean, it’s more relationship (not in the weird way) focused than the previous books. It has a plot that, while it stands well on its own, often seems set up almost as an excuse to develop the characters and push their strong feelings for each other into the spotlight. And it’s relationship focused in a specifically queer as hell way that I don’t associate with canon relationships in media but that is often explored in fandom - especially in the way that nonromantic relationships are given importance and the way that “important relationship” doesn’t mean “having sex”.

And I am once again having Feelings about how representation that I’m used to having to create myself, taking the canon characters and deciding to interpret them as something that I can see myself in, is all just there on the page in these books.

i saw a post recently about how much less shipping focused this fandom is than typically and i think this is part of the reason why the canon relationships are so good and satisfying that we kind of don't want to bother creating our own? murderbot the murderbot diaries network effect liveblog my posts ne meta

i’m gonna make a movie where two normal ladies fall in love. everything’s chill, no age gap, they’re both out of the closet, their families love them, everything’s fine. the catch is that one lady has a cat and the other lady never figured out what the cat’s name was cause the Owner Lesbian ALWAYS uses a dumb nickname and now it’s been three years and they’re getting married and it’s too late to just ask

It’s garnering more and more urgency because the cat’s importance is growing (the cat is going to be the ring bearer, oh no!)

j-uwu-ish

The First Lady asks her fiancé if they should get a fancy collar with the cats name for the wedding and her fiancé throws her arms around her and says “great, would you go do that tomorrow?”

the longer i think about it the more that sounds like a valid conflict to base an entire movie around and the fewer problems i could think of that cant have a solid writing solution available

“Just wanted to confirm the spelling before I gave the order, hun. This shit is costly and I only got one form.”

“Oh, just the normal spelling, no crazy vowels or anything.”

sanscarte

This is so good. Plus it’s not like you can try out likely names and see if the cat responds, like a dog might. It’s a cat. It’s just gonna sit and squint unblinkingly at you regardless, no matter how many names you try.

Plot twist:


It’s not a stupid nickname.


The cat really is “miss kitty.”

no no no. the cat doesn’t have a name, the cat owner never decided on one so she just goes with various silly nicknames. but since her fiancée acts like she is aware of the cat’s name, the cat owner assumes the fiancée mistook one of the nicknames for the actual name. but she doesn’t know which! so the cat owner doesn’t know what the supposed cat name is either, and relies on the fiancée revealing it at some point, but it never comes and she’s getting agitated too because she doesn’t want to admit she never named her cat

Hey hey hey in a similar vein to ^^^

What if

Neither if then know the name

Because it’s neither of their cat.

The cat decided to move in about the same time one of the girls did. Both think it’s the other one’s cat. Both are committing these increasingly elaborate shenanigans to figure out the name from the other.

The true wlw miscommunication romcom we deserve

i mean i'd watch it in the name of the cat
