I’ve been cooking a new fic for a couple of weeks and I’m happy to finally share it with you now!

It’s called The Case of the Adopted Baby and it’s a 8k work ✨ Here is the summary:

“Hi, I know it’s been a while since last time. I managed to stay away as much as I could from the dead, magical world, but… What I saw this morning, I can’t stand back and do nothing.”

“And what exactly did you see?”

“A baby girl. A dead, baby girl. And when I say baby, I mean not even one year-old.”

-

Or: Two very in love Charles and Edwin take the case of a dead baby girl. Edwin learns to soften around a child, and Charles is a wonderful care-taker. A look inside the Payne-Rowland family if they were to be parents.

I hope you like it! Here is the link:

having a job and knowing how to drive on tumblr is like being a knight who has to live with the serfs

having a freeze response to stress is so funny in the context of normal adult stressors. millions of years of evolution are trying to tell me that the email will not find me if i stay very still and do nothing

I admit I always find it funny when people whose entire business is media give on-the-record quotes that sound this much like the villain of a movie about hosting a charity talent show to save the beloved local library.

still thinking about the brainrot that fast fashion has caused in people, like i made this pair of pants that are black and white with a cool flowery design, and an acquaintance saw them and said "wow i'd pay like 20 dollars for you to make me a pair" and i could barely think with how utterly horrified i was at that; i told them that 20 dollars wouldn't even cover the materials, let alone the hours of work that went into cutting, sewing, ironing, hemming, altering, etc. they just had this look on their face when i told them that, when i said i wouldn't make them a pair for even 100 dollars because that was still way too low of an amount, a look that said "you're crazy for thinking that those cost 100 dollars" and maybe i am crazy but holy shit, 20 dollars for a pair of handmade, durable, lined pants fitted specifically to your measurements? 20 dollars for upwards of 60 hours of work? 20 dollars for several yards of high-quality fabric, thread, and buttons? 20 dollars???

It is our privilege to pass on the blessing we receive.

I call upon the fan fic writing gods to bless you with the perseverance to finish one of your unfinished drafts. 

May your fingers dance along the letters upon your device with ease, may the devil of distraction stay far from you, and may your work not need much editing.

I pass this blessing upon every fan fic writer out there.

I often think about this sequence as "originally" intended, I.e. without Despair, and how much greater this decision would be if he hadn't just been scared out of his wits by something so much bigger than a God or demon. He would have yelled at Simon, seen himself in the mirror (maybe), clocked the s + e and put it all together like a good little detective. Imagine the willpower, the sheer strength of faith in what he had just discovered about himself, that he would try to rescue his murderer by trying to heal the century of selfhatred and internalized homophobia. This isn’t a case for Edwin. This isn’t going to help him plead for leniency. If he gets Simon out he might be in worse trouble than before.

This boy is an awful reminder of the worst of his suffering and he's still ready to drag him into the middle of his afterlife with Charles. The resolution. The bravery. George crushes it.

Went to Hoxton Street Monster Supplies today, a shop that features in my Payneland fic Eight Seconds (or, well, their real shop does ...). It’s a marvellous place that has a ghostly post office, apparently. I also left an advertisement for the Dead Boy Detectives Agency and got two death certificates for the boys.

i feel like this is important enough to put on here.

if you have any videos on youtube make sure this is unchecked

So, if Edwin loves horses, I think that means he would be good with crying babies. Like, he wouldn't WANT to be around an infant, but if forced to deal with one, it's not that different from calming a restive animal.

so strange to me that some people aren't bisexual

The Romans really went off with 'nisi fallor'. All the English online equivalents simply do not compare.

'if I remember correctly' -> wordy, stupid, too long

'as far as I know' -> sounds bad, clunky, can't say it quickly

'afaik' -> unpronounceable, weird looking

'iirc' -> gibberish, incomprehensible, too many i's

'nisi fallor' -> good length, easy & fun to say, can be thrown in anywhere quickly, literally 'unless I am deceiving myself' which is sick
