Ring
T | Sanson/Guydelot | 1k words | Modern AU
Part of The Signs of a Lifetime short story collection
Ignoring the proffered glass of liquor, he deliberately lifted his whisky up with his left hand, all the better to show off his wedding ring. Alas the gesture failed to deter the flirt.
Set some twenty years after Singing Along.
This was originally posted here as part of FFXIV Write 2023 but I've cleaned it up and put it into AO3!

A garland, quick, I’m dying!
Weave it now, sing and moan and sing!
For shadows my throat are clouding
and again the January light comes in.
Trembling bushes and the air of stars
lie between your love and mine,
a dense mass of anemones picks up
an entire year with a muffled moan.
Revel in the open country of my wound,
break apart its reeds and delicate rivulets,
drink from my thigh my pouring blood.
But be quick! And then, together entwined,
with love-broken mouths and frayed souls
time will find us utterly destroyed.
- Sonnet of the Garland of Roses, Sonnets of Dark Love, Federico Garcia Lorca
#i feel you linger in the air#i feel you linger in the air the series#ifylita#thai bl#thai drama#bl drama#listen I was researching lorca and decide to read his queer poems#and they came to my mind as I was reading this one#and it destroyed me even more that Lorca wrote this around 1935#were he was still pretty much in contac with his “no-homo but intimate straight friend” Rapún#whom died only two years later in 1937#and Idk the thought that an almost a decade older Yai could have crossed paths with Lorca and this poems before they were hidden away#is 3:20 AM and i should be sleeping but now I'm fully sobbing

its crazy to me how people just don’t talk all the fucking time about what happened to the [Dixie] Chicks in the early 2000s
#like people don’t know#the fact that she doesn’t tear every comedian who complains about being canceled on their Netflix special limb from limb#just shows that Natalie Maines is a better person than me#like people still hate them over this#even though two decades later the vast majority of people across political spectrum agree with them now#everyone KNOWS they’re right and the fact that they just are barely talked about????#it drives me insane#anyway Natalie Maines outlived Toby Keith and she deserves to piss on his grave i don’t care 🤷♀️

A young Christopher Lee guest stars as dastardly Larry Spence - a rising star in the world of journalism, turned blackmailer and then murderer - in The Vise: The Final Column (1.16, ABC, 1955); the episode wasn't seen in the UK until 1963, as part of ITV drama anthology Tension
#fave spotting#christopher lee#the vise#tension#1955#the final column#for more information on the complicated origins of The Vise (a US production entirely made in the UK) see my prev fave spotting post for#Jacqueline Hill's appearance on the series#Lee was hardly a newcomer when he made this ep; he'd been acting professionally since being demobbed a couple of years after ww2 and#was something of a stock player in british cinemas‚ usually in minor bit parts as caddish gentlemen or authority figures and military men#one of his first really significant roles would be later in '55 as a submarine commander in The Cockleshell Heroes#he was also making semi regular appearances on tv in small guest spots‚ albeit sometimes uncredited (as in ITV's The Adventures of the#Scarlet Pimpernel also around this time). a jobbing actor‚ basically‚ and not yet the cinematic icon he would begin (that journey starting#at the end of the decade and the beginning of his association with Hammer studios and horror immortality). he's very good here tho#host and narrator Ron Randell even describes him near the start of the ep as (something like) 'young‚ handsome‚ but sinister' which#may as well have been printed on business cards for the kind of work Lee would find himself doing for the next decade or so#yes he's a real rotter‚ a strangler of ladies and a blackmailer of tycoons‚ and in true Vise fashion he gets his just desserts and the mora#status quo is maintained (this is a very moral series and takes pains to inform us via Randell exactly what kind of punishment the villains#received after the events depicted)#Lee made two more Vise episodes but as Network (rip beloved) seemingly took a random approach to which episodes to include in their#first volume of the series (and obviously as it turned out only volume) i have no idea if either of those are on the set#one can hope! and i do bc it's lovely seeing him so young but with such a meaty role

Oh my goodness I forgot…
… Renji: Ikkaku, you should become a Captain bc none of the other Assistant Captains have achieved Bankai!
Me: Renji my dude YOU HAVE BANKAI
#Firebird Randomness#I'm kidding I love that it never occurred to Renji that HE could take one of the vacant Captain positions#as I was just ranting about how much I love how his loyalty to Byakuya and vice versa develops#so the fact that it doesn't even occur to him is super sweet#like him thinking Ikkaku would ever take the job is also funny#like dude he's same as you#kinda#you do have like three different all very real brands of eternal loyalty in the Gotei 13#and I go into over analyse mode whenever I think about how Byakuya and Renji respectful but hostile#to still your lieutenant over a decade later despite having two Bankais and only getting stronger#I'm telling you Byakuya's planning on giving him the Sixth Comapny#anyway just remembered this exchange and had a laugh#Things You Didn't Know Fire Was Into

easily the ugliest years in fashion of all time have to be the 2010s (post-recession stagnation, embracing Poser attitudes, the [beginning of the] end of Sovl -> business casual, athleisure...)
#not even the 70s polyester craze comes close#& as much as the 1980s make me feel nothing most of the time (SORRY but i have been coming around lately...)#like there was so much originality & experimentation Waht da eff were people doing in the 2010s other than Nothing (ugly) Artifice#by the late 2010s it was the start of the current culture of trying to rehash everything almost completely as it was yet worse -_-#like obviously there were cool people & their calves&followers but that will always be true like anywhere#i do think things are getting better Doe 🦌 lately ^_^_^_^_^ so yay !!!#it just pissed me off as a teenager caus i spent the latter end of that decade as one & everything was just so ugly all the time#which explains why people look to the past now more than ever before#& i know those two things i listed existed before in the 20th century IDC at least there was some variety then#& they looked more interesting than they would later on decades later obv through repetition you lose the Essence & such

finally found a place to read With the Light online and i'm thrilled; if you haven't read this manga i do Legitimately recommend it
#N posts stuff#like don't get it wrong it Is Not a series about being autistic it Is a series about raising an autistic kid#but also don't be put off by that because it's legitimately a series that I feel Loves autistic people with its whole being#it's kind of a teaching manga so it showcases a lot of different opinions/characters/conflicts/etc. but the Framing is very consistent#in that the manga is Extremely of the opinion that autistic people are People who deserve to be Valued and Accepted As They Are#the onus for change is never put on autistic individuals the framing is basically Universal in the 'the World needs to change#to be more accepting' -- it's a very Social Model depiction of autism that ALSO never veers too far into the#'autism isn't even Really a disability' fallacy; it's very much a 'A lot of autistic people will need constant support in a variety of ways#throughout their lives but that isn't the roadblock preventing them from having their own lives; ableism in society is the roadblock'#the first two chapters are the hardest to get through bc they take place before Sachiko has any real understanding of autism and#so she's isolated and stressed out and the ignorance makes it difficult for her to care for Hikaru properly (there's also a lot of#other characters Blaming her for what's going on which goes unchallenged at this point though that changes later); but after she#understands what autism is she's Firmly in Hikaru's corner for the rest of the series - you can skip right to ch 3 without a problem#if you're not interested in reading about that initial conflict#there's still a Lot of conflict ofc but by then the chapters have some of my favorite moments so i don't want to advocate skipping#them; like Hikaru's daycare teacher explaining how Hikaru's difficulty speaking is the same as other kids' troubles with#things like jump-roping/etc.; and then a mother who has An Issue with Hikaru's presence in her daughter's class realizing the#depth of the problematic opinion bc Her mother (who had a stroke) faces similar ableism from her peers#i'm cutting this post off b4 the tags get Too long but if you're curious but still hesitant man. send me an ask and i will Happily#write an insanely long essay about how much i love this series; i have all the books i'm not excited about the online availability#for Me i'm excited bc i've been wanting to rec this manga for like almost a full decade and i can finally give you a link instead of#saying 'well. you can find used copies sometimes' lol

You know, I've lived in this state for my whole twenty-seven years and I've never actually seen Oklahoma!. I should fix that one of these days.
#they made us sing the title song every morning in preschool and kindergarten#there was CHOREOGRAPHY#it was kind of ridiculous even to a six-year-old#and it's still etched into my brain two decades later#so that kind of gave me a bias against this one#but i ought to give it a real chance i think

people shipping kendrick and drake rn in the midst of this feud......... hmmmm. don't like that!
#mine#listen do i have to say it?#kendrick is calling drake out for over a decade of cultural appropriation and frankly exploitative behaviors#not just exploiting black culture but also children#i do seriously believe the claims kenny's making bc drake moves exactly like a kiddie diddler#the entire music industry is just vile. we all know this#and so shipping these two real life men with real life issues and power that contribute to the systemic problems that we all face#is... really weird. very weird behavior#i dont like it personally#i get the jokes yeah i get ppl want in on the fun and games but these dudes arent fictional characters#i hope ppl dont lose the plot rn esp bc this feud is far from over#even if drake never responds and this all fizzles out later#kendrick has uprooted like 95 percent of the music industry rn and shown them all for the world to see#if the hiphop industry wasnt dying already it certainly will now! cuz we really need to talk about it!#how late stage capitalism has poisoned everything it touches and the music industry was one of the 1st to go#there are literal kids being trafficked and exploited in the entertainment industry yall PLEASE#stop with the fandom and shipping brainrot for one damn second you guys 😭 please#i beg of you

you need to STOP IT with these ho/me/stu/ck aus. first psychonauts, now ninjago? STOP! BONKING YOU WITH A NEWSPAPER!
NOOOOO DON'T BONK ME!!! it won't stop me unfortunately, i love adding hs trolls to things 😌
anyway 💅 alternia as another realm within the 16 and maybe there was an invasion of ninjago at some point in the past, i'm still working out details. but the basic gist is a bunch of trolls immigrated to ninjago and honestly between the serpentine and munce and geckle and merlopians and the occasional skulkin and also the fucking. floating jaguars and boogie bears and everything else they fit right in tbh. they mostly keep to themselves but there is a bit of mingling between humans trolls and serpentine (up until the serpentine war at least), but trolls as elemental masters is next to unheard of given that trolls and humans can't really reproduce together that way.
except when wu goes to find all the holders of the elements of creation for the green ninja prophecy, well. Colton Bekkit and Nya are very obviously trolls, and wu knew that his brother had somehow managed to have a son with Tomeseek. what he wasn't expecting was for the masters of ice and lightning to have been raised by trolls, too. things are about to get chaotic (colton ends up crushing on the other three in three different quadrants pretty much. immediately. nya and kai had to raise each other and so nya's not really in touch with troll culture. things are only going to go off the rails from there)
#ask zaz#i'm. i'm not giving this an au tag#this is a THOUGHT EXPERIMENT only#but i will inflict it upon the#lego ninjago#tag!!!#cole's troll name being colton bekkit was just. yeah#considered colton bukkit/bucket but it just. didn't sound right???#like the fact that it was clearly bucket even if spelled weird made it sound not like a troll name#also. nya doesn't have the usual 12 letter wriggling name bc she never got a lusus#maya & ray had a lot of trouble with kai's birth but since they had two elements between them to pass on they didn't wanna let kai be#an only child. so tomeseek went into the caves and brought out a tyrian grub that would have never gotten a lusus and handed it to them#they didn't ask her to do this btw she just heard the problem and went ''oh i can help 😊🌸✨'' and then went and got that grub#prof julien's adult title is the Tinkerer btw#and ed & edna are sandgear and clipwire <333#and yes. lou and lilly still get to be lovers here. well. for as long as lilly lives anyhow#but yeah lou is also a troll!! his adult title is Soulsong (for now) and he's old enough to have grown up in alternia#despite havign arrived in ninjago decades ago!! he is colton's ancestor (same sign same blood)#colton's lusus is a bear btw. bearmom <3#she dies pre-canon not too long after lilly does and both deaths weigh heavily on colton#also colton got his earth powers bc lilly explicitly gave them to him. via tea ofc#maya did the same for nya when she and ray realized krux was after them (i'm still working on the details there)#and ofc the previous em of ice does that for zane in canon#i'm still debating on whether zane should look like a troll or human#i mean. since julien's a troll it should be obvious to make zane a troll right??? but also.... idk i just think it could be more interestin#if since the tinkerer knew zane would outlive him the tinkerer made zane look more human so that after his death zane could#find community and safety more easily than a lone troll in ninjago would be able to#and then i can have zane find old horns he used to have maybe if the human appearance was like. a later thing the tinkerer did#idk yet tho#ninjastuck

I've struggled so much with english these past few days and it's so annoying and embarrassing, and what's even more embarrassing is that I'm embarrassed at all in the first place!!! Everytime I make a rushed error with my unmedicated brain, or swap around with word order, or struggle to pronounce things or outright just fail to recall even basic words entirely I get so ashamed and stressed out.
And I hate being told things such as "you're better than some native speakers" because I know that isn't true! And I wish it could just be fine that I'm not! Sure, I've improved immensely ever since I actually tried to learn it properly 10 years ago, but it was such a bumpy and embarrassing road that it's practically a mercy for my self confidence that I was psychotic for a majority of the time, what with all the things I've forgotten or outright never memorized in the first place as a result lmao.
Everytime I have to edit captions and such after hitting 'Post' I always feel this overwhelming sense of dread that people will just pour in to nag and to correct me even over the smallest things, all without anything good to say. Which sucks, cause so many times where I've had people be condescending or outright degrading, the errors in question didn't even impede on the clarity of what I was saying. Just stupid, unimportant things like using 'has'/'have' wrong, using 'were' two times in a sentence, putting words in the wrong order in a sentence etc.
It's been years now since that was a thing that happened regularly, but that fear is apparently still so deeply imprinted that, even now, I can't read what I'm writing right here and now without this looming fear about how it will serve to make native speakers perceive me as stupid and unintelligent or outright infantilize me. Even though I know that's more than likely irrational of me to feel now. I seriously need to figure out how to overcome this mental roadblock, or at least not let it get to me like this. It's rarer these days, but I still feel it too strongly for my liking whenever my reservations do kick in.
#not to mention old group of people that shall not be named#who when i spoke up about feeling uncomfortable about the way they made fun of me#told me that it was fine actually because my language is not an oppressed one#which is so. indeed! its not!#nor did i ever say that it was!#id simply just hoped that people who called themselves my friends#would also want to like... maybe respect me like one#yknow???#idk im rambling and being stupid maybe#nothing happened really ive just felt shitty with how hard its been to speak and write lately#and i have such complex feelings about english and learning it and how its been this ceaseless struggle for over two decades#and how said struggle nearly cost me access to even get into gymnasiet#which didnt matter in the end anyway but thats another depressing story rofl and also lmao#silvi talks#or whines would be a better way of putting it LMAO#whatever its fine im fine#i keep trying to remind myself that i dont need speak perfectly to be deserving of civility#but holy fuck its hard sometimes!!! and tbh it doesnt help how often youll run into people mentioning stuff like#'writing pet peeves' and its just nitpicking minor grammar or spelling things as if its the end of the world#actually i need to stop here lest i become an unskippable cutscene about language policing as a concept and how it bothers me#KSJFEDKJDSKJS#delete later maybe i guess idk#depends on how ashamed i feel by admitting this openly

at this point I don't even know if tag fragmentation in the general russian holmes space is worth addressing. a few years ago I successfully kept the ancient customs intact because I wrote a post so deranged and pretentious it displeased people into doing what I wanted but nowadays what's the point in making a grand return of being terminally online if yall kinda right
#history: in the ice age the soviet series were exclusively russian sherlock holmes#the 2013 show is about to appear under a surprisingly generic title of Sherlock Holmes that is also russian#the contemporaries can't come up with anything better than naming it the new russian holmes#it is a decade later#soon it will be 11 years of nrh being *new*#and russian sh keeps dying out in favour of soviet sh#tag fragmentation occurs where the historic russian sh name with almost 15 years of tumblr history gets shafted in favour of soviet sh#a relatively new tag nowhere near of the russian sh legacy#as someone who actually scrolled it all the way back to the very beginning and yes to the first posts of circa 2010/2011#you can guess why I felt strongly about it since you are just creating an issue that never was and also making a false impression#of how sparsely populated soviet sh is while all this time it was just a secondary but also straight up unused tag#the same thing having two tags with totally different content bc of tag fragmentation is quite annoying#but it is now the modern age and idk if you can even go that deep into any tag anymore with how the search function doesn't work#and who could be wrong. russian sh Is soviet. nrh Is new. and nrh will never change and mix with the russian sh search forever.#plus what is the issue. russian sh gets one post a week and nrh gets one every half a year. the annoyance exists to me only.#do we assemble a council and grant both shows new unique tags and resolve the mistakes of our ancestors#while erasing 10+ years of history behind their current tags in the process thus basically wiping the fandom clean#or do we just live with it while occasionally shrugging at how this all happened#I thought and fought to keep it the way it was because adding to a search that goes back to 2010 is what it's all about o7#but nowadays truly. everyone else is technically right. what's the point

why eat girldinner when you can eat like the man i once saw in a diner in custer south dakota who sat alone gobbling a whole chuck wagon's worth of eggs and bacon and toast and pancakes and oatmeal and
#i am not even having a third of what he was having and im like. oh my god this is so decadent. SIX pieces of bacon! TWO eggs! a beer no less#he was like. the human personification of the tom cardy song 'big breakfast'#pot of coffee. big glass of milk. he may also have had some hashed browns in there and some french toast to round it all off#he was like six foot something and he wore a leather jacket and he was alone at the diner just. deeply invested in this breakfast#we later saw him at a museum it turned out he was a flute craftsman.#his booth was pretty busy because they were beautiful instruments and i was like. wow i know that guy from Breakfast!#anyway. any time i make breakfast food (mostly for dinner) i think of him#i hope he is breakfasting as powerfully today as he did that day fifteen years ago

Also I never knew that there was even a single color photograph of my grandparents' wedding in 1952. I've only ever seen the ones in black and white. Don't they look beautiful? Didn't I just come from the most gorgeous people?
#i love how you can actually see my grandfather's red hair#as a redhead i know the injustice that black and white does to us... alas!#my charcoal self-portraits always look unlike myself to me because im like i have red hair. this doesnt look like a redhead#this isnt me#also even though it's a white dress. grammy's dress looks so much more beautiful surrounded by color#wow#tales from diana#did you know i never knew my grandmother was a local beauty queen when she was younger until after she died?#when her dementia got to the stage where she needed a live-in nurse to help her all the time#at one point my aunt rediscovered a picture from when she was about. 17. i posted it years ago#she scanned it and had it cropped and framed and left it in the front of the living room#the first time the nurse saw that photo (i was there) she said 'DAAAAMN MOM IS THAT YOU?'#and grammy was like 'oh :) yes thats me'#like it was nothing and then later on the nurse said 'i know you already said it but damn i just cant stop looking at you!'#that nurse was really nice. really really nice.#the priest at the wake when saying a prayer for the family before everyone else started ushering in#mentioned what a beauty my grandmother was and what a lovely couple the two of them were.#they went to that local church for about 60 years so he mustve known them for decades. it was a nice touch.

with rosie back in yale's life, trying to corrupt them, i think i might just let yale give in. just a little bit. become a little corrupted, as a treat. we call that character development in a bad way.
#allison's bullshit.#i just think that yale has such a soft spot for rosie#you don't spend two decades with someone and love them in some form#and have that go away even a hundred years later#rosie's gonna needle yale until they can't resist it anymore#they're gonna give in and become a tiny bit evil for a little bit#mori's gonna have to pull them out of it and it's gonna be rough
