Mostly Talking To Myself - Tumblr Posts

Uh,

so, the weekly media and creature brain dumps have been on a very unofficial hiatus lately. Kinda ironic and weird since I referred to them in my bio and I really did wanna continue both series no matter the engagement. Long story short, busy boring adult and job stuff, writer’s block, and some conflicted decisions about Media Mondays and Creacher Fridays.

But I think I came to a few ultimate changes I feel good about.

First off, I’m changing and being a bit more forward about the scheduling for the “weekly writes”. As much as I hate to break the alliteration, I think a bi-weekly posting quota would be a lot more sustainable and enjoyable in the long run. Maybe even with the goal of breaking both up into seasons if they get to a long enough point. If anyone cares to know they’re also rigidly scheduled to go up at 3:59 pm on their designated days, Eastern time.

I’m also set on changing the name of Media Marvel Mondays. The intention of “marvel” in the title was to give off a similar vibe as “pondering my orb”. Like, hey, here’s a thing that I’m rotating in my mind and I’d love to spit some exposure and praise to because it left a string impression on me once. Well, the search and tag things do something predictably different when you go looking for stuff with both the words “media” and “marvel” in them. I think my alternative has a better ring and distinction to it. From here on the Monday rambles are gonna be coined as

Media Musin’ Mondays

With the updated tag(s) to mention of course.

No change to Creacher Feature Friday, but I will continue the hiatus on that one for a little bit longer because it has gotten very out of sync with the media series. I’d like to catch its sibling up in the meanwhile and prepare to drop a more proper introduction for me self in the means while ;)

This is still a pretty fresh and moist page and I’m having good fun in watching some of its roots find something to sink into.

Edit: holy crap, happy 100th post, blog

Honest Moment, Semi-Big Announcement: No More Media Musin’ Mondays (in name only)

I just haven’t been able to get out of the block of finishing my drafts backlog for so long. I started wondering what my problem was but like,, it’s not actual block. I’ve been dumping media takes left and right, proving I can do long posts for fandoms and throw in pointers to underrated little nuggets at the same time. In fact I feel like I’ve been doing plenty of that for the past couple months just in absence of formally including it as part of some weekly or bi-weekly series quota. Juggling regular posting, the creature fridays, and a project like that as a hobby of love just wasn’t as realistic as I’ve been pretending it to be

and honestly, this has been the status of this blog for a good while now since I started getting so back into Invader Zim and devoting a ton of analytical writing energy there. I still think I can find it in me in the future to get Creature feature fridays back on the tracks, and don’t think any of this is in relation to it just because MM’M was supposed to originally be its sister “thing”. If anything this kind of frees me up a lot to focus on that as the only bi-weekly write up, while letting the media takes of all kinds keep coming through as they’ve been.

Unrelated reason but still one the same, no one looks at or really followed those mini writes anyway. And that’s totally expected and no real one’s fault. Most of those were posted to my old blog, which is still stuck in the glitched-or-shadow-banned purgatory of being outside the reach of the already broken search functions of this hellsite. And I had virtually no presence here whatsoever back when I started those even then. I’m just ready to kind of get this self-imposed weight off my chest and keep moving ahead with what seems to work for now. You wanna know what I think about specific fictions, feel free to drop an ask or just search by fandom specific tags on my blog. You wanna encourage me to keep barfing about some specific game or character or analysis I’ve already touched on, you feed these brain worms and just see what might pop out and surprise you one day. We’re here for the fun of it at the end of everything, ye?

Peace to you, side “series” ✌️
