katzedecimal replied to your photo post: Let's be honest, it would work a lot better. On all of them.

I think so...even for the guys who don't drink much.

neukgol replied to your text post: aw.. that was bittersweet!

Thank you!  So much about their history has been bittersweet; they clearly loved each other and were happy, and then he died not long after and left her adrift.  Then they were reunited and happy again, but were soon parted to her great distress.  And both seemed more stable when they were together, so a lot of their more reckless and anti-social behaviour might not have happened had they been together or at least not parted traumatically like that.

skjam replied to your photo post: Samuroid? Are those back in continuity?

You know, I'm not sure.  I don't see why they wouldn't be, since apparently past continuity is still intact except when we're explictly told it isn't, or it's obviously been contradicted since.  So while I'm sure the cringeworthy racist aspects of the original story have been politely forgotten, the robots themselves probably still happened.  

secondratevillain replied to your text post: This fic is so endearing :'D

Thank you, I hoped it would be! :)

@skjam replied to your post “let’s play the letter rec game”

Let's start easy: T.

Toffee by Sarah Crossan - a beautiful verse novel about a girl who’s run away from an abusive parent and ends up living with a woman who has dementia and doesn’t know who she is. it seems long when you look at it but it’s a very quick, emotional read :)

I've read a collection of the stories: Book Review: The Casebook of Carnacki the Ghost Finder – SKJAM! Reviews

skjam replied to your post: I just realised I was wearing my dress inside out ...

Well, at least you were protected from the Fair Folk for a while.

Carpentry is a useful skill even if you don't make a living at it.

Depending on where you live it pays pretty well. Where I live (California) the starting pay rate per hour is $24-27.

Carpentry is actually the highest paid starting wage for any of the trades offered, of course that’s not why I chose it. ^^;

skjam replied to your post: The works that inspired Conan the Barbarian
