#i appreciate the reminder though

you posted a selfie a few months ago and my first immediate thought was "oh no and she's hot too???" like yes, u are incredibly funny and an amazing writer and I adore all ur fics (especially Goon my beloved <3) and how delightful and heart wrenching and all the other adjectives ur post 8x06 fics have been (and were part of the reason I didn't immediately blacklist all 911 related tags in a fit of rage sadness and disappointment at the show lol) but my first immediate reaction to 'something you'd never say off anon' was that I need to take the opportunity to tell you ur hot in hopefully the least weird way possible 😂

Cheers to genetics!

(Hotness is a state of mind I sometimes occupy space in, believe you me when I tell you my online presence is curated, but I appreciate the compliment!)

I'm glad you stuck around for my five-stages-of-grief fic writing, I hope I can continue to impress!

tell me something on anon you'd never say off anon

Love the bit in Vegas where Rodney’s like “a Zed P M, sorry ZPM, I’m Canadian” because a. I love when people unnecessarily “translate” things and b. it feels straight out of a fanfic

I went to a local yarn store for the first time, and while I was there, somebody was talking about getting a beginner's knitting kit, and she inquired about when lessons were, and when she was told that they'd be happy to sit down with her and teach her, she was so delighted. She talked about how excited she was and how much she wanted to learn to knit, and it just... it made me fall in love with humanity. It was this pure, unadulterated happiness coming from somebody and it was so genuine and kind, and I couldn't help but smile.

I guess all of this is to say... every moment, there are tiny little joys like this all over the world, and it makes this life worth living. I hope you witness and feel joy this simple, this pure.

I did find it precious that Buck decided to be the sublet of Eddie's house like, knowing your best friend is going to make sure your place is in good hands is just... I'd do the same for my friends any day.

"Alice Perrers was perceived by her contemporaries to be an uncrowned queen and through an analysis of her activities it is clear she was able to utilise the practical benefits of queenship for her own ends. However, by taking on the mantle of queenship Alice fundamentally corrupted the sovereignty and kingship of Edward III. First, by her aggressively political behaviour she became the threat at the heart of the power structure that the gendered constructions of queenship were supposed to remove from a consort. Second, by taking on the practical aspects of queenship she inherently undermined the ideological role of queenship, both by the simple fact that she was a mistress and not a queen, and even more so because of her behaviour. The problems Alice caused and how she was perceived were amplified in contrast to the [...] demeanour of Philippa, who was widely respected and much loved by the people. Just as queens in their exalted position were ‘lightning rods’ for ideas about women and female power, so was Alice because of her proximity to the king."

— Laura Tompkins, The uncrowned queen: Alice Perrers, Edward III and political crisis in fourteenth-century England, 1360-1377 (PhD Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2013)

"Alice's expansion of her power through the office of queenship was problematic for a number of reasons. First, while the queen’s power was legitimised by her marriage to the king and her coronation, Alice’s power was not formalised in this way and consequently would have been regarded as illegitimate. Second, she was not the right type of woman to share in the king’s dignity. She was not noble, she was not chaste and she was not virtuous. Instead, she was a low-born London widow and a businesswoman. Consequently, we find Alice being discussed in the language and stereotypes of queenship, but in a rather negative light. For example, while queens are routinely described as noble, beautiful and virtuous regardless of what they actually looked like, Walsingham is quick to emphasise that Alice was of low birth, and that, almost implied as a consequence, she ‘was not attractive or beautiful’. While we do not know what Alice looked like it seems unlikely that Edward III would have taken and kept her as a mistress for so long if she had been physically repellent. Third, and most significantly, not only was Alice an inappropriate mistress exercising illegitimate power, but she also broke all of the gendered rules that queenship was constructed around, inverting the ideal form of queenship to her advantage."

what does a usual day for sherry look like ? like her morning routines, if she has anything in specific she likes to do or eat everyday, or how she usually winds down in the evenings? :o

This varies pretty significantly depending on the Mirror World, but for the sake of brevity I'll just focus on LCB Sherry's routine after she joins Limbus Company--it changes a bit as time goes on, but that just means I can talk about her a bit more!

Every Sinner aboard Mephistopheles is assigned their own room (usually, one door is shared between three Sinners, with each opening said door to a different space that makes up their personal lodgings--it's different for each person, and is based upon their mental state), and Sherry is no exception! The only difference is that she doesn't share her door with anyone else--the only room you'll find behind it is Sherry's, and while this seems odd, nobody raises any objections.

In the first few Cantos, Sherry keeps her distance from most of the Sinners, so her usual routine is to wake up, get herself ready for the day, eat breakfast (while perusing the morning paper), and then taking her seat before roll call. She's usually one of the first people to arrive, alongside Meursault and Outis. Her evening routine is fairly similar--following Dante's dismissal, Sherry will retire to her room, engage in one or two of her preferred leisure activities (reading encyclopedias or the paper, fiddling with her chemistry set, playing the violin, or simply smoking while deep in thought) before getting read to sleep--she very rarely deviates from this pattern.

But, as time passes and the Sinners spend more time getting to know each other, Sherry's routine changes--she'll still rise on her own, but she'll dress and then join Meursault so they can read the paper together while having their breakfast. Then she'll join roll call and the Sinners will begin their work for the day. Her evening routine doesn't change that much until around Canto IV-V, though--at that point, she's grown fond of most of the Sinners, and will join them in their evening activities should they invite her. Most of the time, though, she'll retire to her room and engage in her usual hobbies, with the change of allowing others to visit her, if they wish--they simply have to knock on her door and announce themselves to her.

And, of course, post Canto VI she finds herself having Heathcliff as an overnight guest fairly often--he does sometimes stay before Canto VI, but it becomes much more frequent after, and she adjusts her routine to accommodate him. She always gets up before he does, but she'll wait for him to wake before leaving to have breakfast with Meursault, since sometimes Heathcliff likes to join them (mostly to be close to Sherry, but he's pretty fond of Meursault, too). Her evening routine doesn't change too much, even with Heathcliff present ... he usually sleeps on the couch (by his own choice), and he doesn't mind her engaging in her hobbies so long as she doesn't ignore him. Heathcliff usually falls asleep first, and Sherry will ensure he has a blanket before retiring, herself.

I just wanna smooch and love on koko so bad 😩😩 like, send him off with a packed lunch with a sweet note in it (I KNOW he tends to forget to eat when he’s busy), cuddle up to him as we talk about our day—

Married life with him would be so fun I just know it 😩😩 Ughhh I just wish we could have more sneak peeks into their day to day livesss wakui plsssssS I wanna know why he was ranked in the top three 😩😩😩😔

I'm pretty sure it's because of how attentive and caring he is as a partner! He just seems so loving and dedicated to anyone he's with, he would definitely make a good partner. I mean he literally risked his own life to save Akane's. Definitely always putting his partner above himself and trying to take care of them. He's just a sweetheart towards his partner!

Shoutout to people who write Jian Lan into Fengqing fics in a way that is Normal. Yes Feng Xin was in love with her and his love had nothing to do with Mu Qing. Yes he wants to help her with Cuocuo but he can still move on and be with Mu Qing

Over the years, I've gotten a lot of cis people messaging me about how they should go about dating or courting somebody who's trans, and I always felt like my responses would almost... disappoint them because there isn't this magic secret to dating us.

Cis people, if you want to date us, just date us. We're human beings, we're not wild animals to tame! I promise you can have a healthy relationship with a trans person without needing to feel like the world will end if you mess up.

Trans people who date cis people often want to feel secure in your acceptance of them. You don't have to talk about our transness for hours on end to prove that you accept your loved one. You don't have to put on a display and cabaret about how Much You Accept Us. Just be a person around us, and let us be people, too!

I almost want to disappoint cis people by reminding them of this. Some of the best relationships I've had with cis people have been ones where my transness is acknowledged, sure, but it's acknowledged in the same way that my left-handedness is. It's not a joke to them, it isn't something to be horrified about, but it's also something that they don't objectify me for.

there's just something special about tumblr. The reblogging system in general and just...all these ideas expressed in the most flexible, open, personal and profound ways that no other social media platforms have ever come to replicate (closest might be...twitter? idk).

I always read the extra thoughts that people leave in their reblog comments and I just feel like i'm getting a virtual bundle of hugs.

I'm glad I decided to come back here. Not solely for scoring metric points but to genuinely connect and share ideas with others.

It’s the PPG witching hours so this is probably why I feel compelled to write this but also because that last ask has inspired me…

…I am always on the lookout for PPG fanfictions that people think I may enjoy, so… just to let everyone know if you did not already… I am always open to recommendations…

the irony of one the first main things established about omori as a character is that he's known for his great memory as if he hasn't lost the entire fucking plot repeatedly for years.

like he has a great memory!! if you don't take into account He's Actually The God Of Repression.

If you had to boil yourself down to a quote, what would it be?

cheating By putting two, but i really couldn't decide between them. Basically it's a Combination of "i want to Create and make my creations feel human. or at Least feel. something."
