Made some more for y’all

I think I underestimated how cool it is that Little House books are a "woman remembers her childhood" children's classic by an author from a working-class and rural background. Most working-class books of the genre have urban settings, and most rural girlhood classics come from a family that's in a fairly stable community--maybe not rich, but comfortable enough that they don't have to worry about whether they'll make it through a winter.

Laura Ingalls grew up dirt poor in a family that knew how to grow or build or hunt or make everything that they needed, because they had to. Yet when she grew up, she got into a position where she could publish about it. Which is pretty astounding, because people in her situation are usually too busy doing the farmwork to write about it--they don't have connections to the publishing industry. Yet she did, so we get to hear from someone who knows that farm and small-town setting intimately, and not because she grew up and and ran off to the city as soon as she could escape, but because she still lives it and loves it and advocates for it.

She knows the details of that life and loves it. Like, she genuinely cares about raising the chickens, not as a housewife's hobby, but as an important source of meat, eggs and money for the family. It's grounded, earthy, sensible, but also romantic, because she while she's doing farm work or house work she's noticing the little moments of beauty or thinking about the big issues of life. But it took a long series of coincidences to get this ordinary farm wife into a position of wanting to write, being able to write, and having a national audience for her writing, so I just want to appreciate how amazing it is that it happened.

One thing that I’ve realised bug me about how the Greens are written is how easy the writing is.

House of the Dragon wants to portray them as a dysfunctional family that’s unable to offer each other support. Sure, I’ll buy that. But they portray this dynamic in the most simplistic way; essentially by having them not interact and simply avoid each other. And yes, I get that that’s a way to cope with family trauma, but it makes for a really dull TV show.

Imagine the impact confrontation between the Greens would have on the quality of the show? Aegon lashing out at Aemond about Jaehaerys’ murder. Alicent trying to comfort her children but failing, because no matter how tight you hug your daughter, her son is still dead. Aemond keeping the mask of indifference in front of his family, but then it cracks when he walks by Jaehaerys’ chambers.

Now we’re left with lacklustre implications that these characters can’t be there for each other and what that entails. It’s almost as if the writers are telling us “don’t bother feeling bad for the Greens, they don’t even feel bad for each other”

You know, it’s easier to write an awkward, non-verbal interaction than to write a heart-wrenching altercation. Easy writing.

helloooo :-) my name is ali, but i go by dorian. i am desperately seeking a descriptive, semi-novella length (or more hehe) roleplay with someone who has similar interests. by "descriptive" i mean / prefer anything well over 1000 words or 3-5+ paragraphs.

i have been in the roleplay / writing scene for a longgggg long time — since i was first granted unrestricted internet access at the ripe age of 12. i am 24 now, and i am not comfortable roleplaying with anyone younger than 20 years of age. i have a lot of rp experience under my belt (oc x canon, mumu — i prefer doubling!) and i would love to continue the hobby! i am a stickler for plotting — i also have way too many pinterest boards and playlists for my characters & pairings. i make edits for my ocs and their respective partners, and i just overall loveeee to yap and yap and yap about my ocs.

while my introduction seems very casual & laid back, my writing style isn't! i just really like lowercase letters LMFAO

my fandoms of interest : bridgerton, game of thrones / hotd & related, daisy jones & the six (+ the tjr universe) (this one is a long shot), marvel / mcu & related, greys anatomy, the walking dead. plenty more but this is what comes to mind!

also super interested in making new friends hehe :) i love to read and write, and i'm always open to new recs for books / music / television / film.

Something I really enjoy about toy shows is selling plush toys in person! Online, it is pretty easy to sell plush from licensed, recognizable IPs like Sanrio, Disney, and so on, but difficult to sell stuffed animals that are just like . . . a tiger, a bunny, a puppy. Even if they're a high quality, beautiful plushie.

But in person it's a totally different story. Kids will instantly connect with a stuffed animal and sweep it into their arms, hugging it. Heck, not just kids, I've see teens and adults connect with stuffed toys like that too. We love to see it.

Metal Family episodes 9 and 10 are such well written depictions of abuse and leaving a toxic family

When I'm mad, I just push it down real deep and then sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night panicked and sweaty for no reason.

today in the latest saga of "I do not experience stranger danger in person" a man knocked on my door to ask if the microwave by the curb outside worked and I told him to go get it and we'd take it inside my house to test it. he was polite if clearly a little shocked/flustered and as I sat on the ground microwaving a mug of water (to ensure it didn't just turn on but heated things as well) he asked with some amount of blustering and apology "how are you that thick without being fat?" which made me burst out laughing so. no matter how badly you feel about yourself, someone out there thinks you're impossibly attractive. thank you, complete stranger I voluntarily let into my house on a Sunday afternoon. I now have the emotional strength to eat dinner despite being a size 20.

Turns out my account had been shadowbanned without my knowledge, hence why no one saw the original post. Thanks Tumblr.

Anyways, here you go fellow Semper Fi shippers!
