#if anyone has any recs pls tell us

[boxofthings]

got any roach-centric fic recs? like idc the pairing, ghostroach/soaproach/ghostsoaporach any thats roach focused plzz

*cracks knuckles* I GOTCHU ANON this is my time to shine

If anyone wants to reply with their own pls do!

(These are in no particular order)

GhostRoach:

i left my heart in the mountains (right next to yours)

I'm going to want you 'til the stars evaporate

and here i stand (in the dirt with you)

These are all by Santihan and ugghh these were the fics that pulled me back from my near decade-long ghostroach obsession sabbatical. Well-written, emotional, they are amazing, my favs, I will rec these til I die (the first two are painful :'))

Things That Burn by abel_obel

Such a good one, I always go back to this when I'm in a ghostroach mood. Good ol' classic person A gets injured and person B freaks out

Roach Wouldn't Really Do It...

Exhaustion's a Funny Thing

Both by tinyduckies! Def read the TWs for the first one, but arghhh, I go back to these ones a lot!. I really like how the first one's more realistic/gritty when it comes to the aftermath of surviving Loose Ends

Second one's just a lovely depiction of Ghost and Roach's dynamic. Loved the banter and the second chapter ends real sweetly :)

The Barracks: Part 2

Ulterior Motives

Both by doberman, these two are much longer fics (which ghostroach is in desperate need of) and are such interesting reads!!

The first one is an AU that takes place in a pub with Ghost being his repressed, unhealthy self, and Roach coming in as the new co-worker to sweep him off his feet lol

The second one is ongoing and takes place slightly after MWII with Ghost meeting Roach outside of deployment

Sovereign by Applescone

God, this one really puts me in an introspective mood. It's so well-written and just feels so grounded and human. Takes place years after Loose Ends, with Ghost and Roach rekindling their relationship whilst dealing with the complications of Shepherd's betrayal and death

我给你早在你出生前多年的一个傍晚看到的一朵黄玫瑰的记忆 by Alex_Upshur

Ok I know this is in Chinese, but just use a translator like I did and yeah, while it won't be as accurate as the author wrote it, it's still a really lovely fic and i adore it :') A lil bittersweet look into the 141's lives and sweet moments with Ghost and Roach <3

Of Doubts and Dreams (Retold)

The Hook Up

All written by Call_Of_Booty, an og ghostroach author from wayyy back during the og trilogy (and ff.net) days. The first one's a rewrite of one of their old fics and it focuses on Roach and Ghost's dynamic up until the night before Loose Ends.

Second one's about Roach deciding to leave the SAS whilst he and Ghost have complicated feelings for eachother due to past hookups. Both great reads!

Distance Makes the Heart Pissed Off by krwaken

I'm sure every GhostRoach shipper knows this one lol. A lovely 200k word slowburn of these two <3

Fear & Delight by EpiKatt

Hornet's Nest with more GhostRoach :))

Tell Me Why This Has to End by Feral_Raccoon

ANGST :( Post-Loose Ends. Ending broke me haha

and you wrote your name / right there next to mine by cheese_n_crack

more Loose Ends angst :( A bittersweet ending with Ghost and Roach looking at the stars in their final moments

You'll Get Sick Anyways by ghostslefttit

Very short, but very cute lil fic with Ghost taking care of a sick Roach :))

If We Crash (I Hope We Do) by mintyiecat

Man I can't even begin to describe how much I love this one. Portrays Ghost and Roach's relationship post-loose ends where Roach is now a civilian. Loved how the author depicted their relationship as not flawless. Felt very human and raw. Very sweet ending :)

GhostSoapRoach

Something in the Orange by fixfoxnox

Y'all been knew this would be on here lol

Follows Roach's pov where he's been reincarnated into the reboot timeline with all his memories from his old life and him trying to make his way back to Ghost. This one makes me sad as hell. Has all the feels :')

Something in the Orange by insomniamemoirs & RandomWordsAndStormyDays

Funny how my top two GSR fics are named the same thing, but hey, they're both amazing. I was apprehensive because of the "calling Soap Roach by accident" trope, however they really diverted my expectations and made these three really feel like equals in a relationship. Really love how they made sure to establish a strong dynamic between Soap and Roach instead of pitting them against each other. And Roach isn't just some 2D character here, he's very nuanced and I love it!

Freezing Waters by AmphibianEft

Sweet fic of Roach getting injured and Soap and Ghost freaking out and taking care of him

Stress Relief by Anonymous

Just Soap and Ghost taking care of Roach after Hornet's Nest (smut) :)

SoapRoach

Leg Day by tinyduckies

Good ol' smut lol (09 soaproach mm)

Everything That Isn't Said by pajamabees

More 09 smut

Taste by fixfoxnox

Just 3.5k words of Roach wanting to kiss his captain :)

fall for me by punishervest

Just a sweet moment between 09 Soap and Roach with Soap reminiscing on his past with Price but also considering how he wants something more with Roach <3

She (Means Everything To Me) by mylareading

Just 1.9k words of Soap being down bad for Roach (super sweet)

Roanig (Roach x Konig)

I Really Like The Way You Stare At Me by turqu0ise

The fic that introduced me to roanig <3 Just a cute fic focusing on the development of their relationship

Subatomic by tinyduckies

Another nice fic focused on the development of their relationship. Loved the interactions they had in this :)

These are the ones I have so far! I'm sure later on I can add to the list, and if anyone wants to reply with their own feel free :)

I've also been made aware there are Keegan/Roach fics, but I haven't gotten around to reading them yet, but def check out their tag anon! Hope this was an adequate rec list haha

[marvelous-llama]

[sunlitlemonade]

Can you do a roy reading list pls? Ur obsession with him has bewitched me mind body and soul

hiiiiiiiii sweetie sorry for the delayed response BUT I'M SO GLAD I HAVE THE CHANCE TO MAKE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM

hmm for recs it's tough because this guy has So Many Appearances buuuuuut if i HAD to narrow it down

-> green arrow 85-86 which is the snowbirds don't fly storyline & a must read for anyone getting into roy's character

-> saved by the belle reve is a cute story set in his speedy days & its a very cute one i def recommend it!

-> new teen titans 1984 issue 20-21 is when roy finds out he's a dad! also jason's teamup with the titans in his time as robin iirc :]

-> im gonna give up any semblance of order here and just tell you all the roy stuff by devin grayson now

batman + arsenal: ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AMAZING oneshot

arsenal mini series: its 4 issues long and FANTASTIC its beautiful in every way possible, the art is both funky and wonky [at times], if you read nothing else on this list, tho i highly suggest you do, just read this one thing pls. its got such a special place in my heart.

the titans 1999: first half of the run is by devin grayson and its so complicated and good. the other half also has roy stuff but it just not on devin's level imo. very yummy portrayal of his own self destructive tendencies & his relationships.

-> ok stuff by judd winick now:

outsiders: god this entire run is very very yummy. 'hey sun could you not describe everything as fun & nice & actually tell us what it's abt?' sorry <3 decide for yourselves <3 im giving you recs aren't i [side note which i cannot be blamed because everyone knows my obsession with their dynamic- this also has a lovely jason & dick interaction & brief red hood teamup (kinda? not really sjedfjsfwb it just implies that roy trusts him which is necessary to me) with the outsiders, won't tell you which issue tho just read it man]

green arrow issue 32: this issue & the arsenal mini series issue 2 has lovely roy & connor moments :] please read these & come yell with me abt their relationship it's so good

[rayshippouuchiha]

Random but one of my fave trope is accidental secret relationship and there are tragically few fics out there

Like these two? Right here? Together. In love. Possibly married who knows

Their friends? Oblivious. Sick of their pining. Desperately trying to get them together

Good can u imagine tododeku?? Bc i don’t get why people would say they’d pine obliviously for each other. Shouto has no filter and the second he realises he has Romantic Feelings™️ for izuku he’s telling him and moving on as if he didn’t drop a whole ass bombshell on the poor dude. And izuku, mumbler extraordinaire, would defo accidentally blurt out how he want to date shouto to shouto

Point isssssssss, they’re dating ur honour.

Their friends? Have no idea. They think that the tododeku relationship is just two unadjusted individuals being Like That™️ is normal until todoroki randomly says smth along the line of “wow thy was attractive” in response to izuku doing anything pulling off a cool move and the same thing happens the other way around so now they are desperately trying to get them together while tododeku are like “wow,,, our friends are setting up dates for us,,,, they’re so nice and supportive :)”

If anyone has any fic recs pls I beg I’ll take any bnha ship (not bkdk) or other fandoms!!

no no but this is adorable

[puckpocketed]

*Kicks in the doors* You put Jeff Carter and Mike Richards on my dash and let me tell you...thanks! I love them and their love and their tragedy. They played against each other in the OHL, were drafted by the Flyers, played in the AHL during the lockout and won the Calder Cup together. Then they would go on to play and party in Philly, becoming beloved and reviled by the fanbases in turn. They signed massive 12 year deals (which the new CBA prevents anyone from signing more then 8 years) together so that they could play together forever...and then they were both traded. Richards to the Kings and Carter to the Blue Jackets.

Carter's play dropped off so badly with the Blue Jackets that the basically got given to the Kings. And when he arrived, his play and Richards' play picked up. They were inseparable. Winning the Cup together, twice, and handing the Cup off to each other.

And then, the tragedy. The ending. Richards substance abuse issues, buyout (that he's still being paid, I believe), and eventual retirement. Carter becoming a Penguin and retiring as one.

The journalists giving us lines like "Mike likes Jeff but Jeff loves Mike." etc. Tragic yaoi central.

ALSO the Mike Richards trade is what sent Wayne Simmonds to Philly where he would be beloved and is still beloved and now works for the org. And the new front office is working hard to repair relationships with former players to the point that Mike Richards played in the alumni game last season. It was a very big deal.

Anyway, this is like a reader's digest version of the history. You Can't Do That podcast (a very funny Caps podcast that I would recommend) has an episode where they go into the Ballad of Mike Richards and Jeff Carter more in depth. And I am sure other people have other recs. But yeah, here we are. It's 2024 and these old men still have a hold on me.

im learning so many new things. such as their names .and also they played for the FLYE RS... okay... <3 CRAZY finding all this out btw, from the standpoint of someone whos kinda just been following the hockey. a friend described it to me as digging down and finding a whole abandoned civilisation <- i did NOT realise how popular LA was on here in the 2010s... lmao.... like i had an inkling. they do have 2 cups. and people like good teams. right (<- shark s enjoyer) but yeah the whole Epic Yaoi Tragedy was not on my radar at ALL . Im so glad those two old men have a hold on you... yayyy <3

hope im not coming off as like... gawking at zoo animals. i rly do feel a level of kinship with rpf writers ( to me we are siblings) and i'm just very interested in it all on a meta level. plus, the narrative IS super fun without the shipping twist lol i love melodrama and i LOVE tragedy!!! scuttling over to the podcast and good heavens that sure is. 194 episodes. . you wouldn't happen to know which episode it is where they talk about these guys?? also if you have any more recommendations for caps pods pls share!

deep cuts about van puckpocketed: i used to be a dm! i love listening to lore. when players used to bring me lore about their characters i horked that shit up with two spoons <3 what im saying is thank u very much for the morning papers/lore dump!!

[bre-meister]

Hello! About your last post, you said you were reading some fanfics, so I wanted to ask: What are your favorite fanfics from the fandom??? Especially the green pls, because I'm obsessed and nothing can help me 😃 (Looking forward to the mafia story)

This is probably not an exhaustive list. If you can't tell I'm a very forgetful person and I'm probably forgetting some good ones. I'll include whether or not the fic is incomplete (NC) and if it contains sexual content (M). I'll also try to find links for all the fics I list. I will say to anyone who uses these recs leave comments and kudos but don't be that person who harasses for an update. Definitely show the author some love though!

More Than Human NC. A definite must-read for anyone getting into the fandom. It was the fic that sucked me in! A great High School fic. Anything from Sbj at all is a win. Make sure to check her out on Dreamwith and FanFiction.net. Some of her stuff is crossposted but not all of it is

Green Lights NC/M. My current obsession. Buttercup moonlights as an exotic dancer and meets a mysterious man (Butch) who captures her attention.

Lie in Lime NC/M. Butch is a fashion designer and Buttercup gets roped into being his model. Features a slight love triangle with Brick. Great fic!

Any of the fics in this series on Ao3. This author is just amazing and most of her works are complete and also pretty long. A win-win if you ask me! Don't shy away from the NC ones though. Lilys of Snow Valley is amazing!

The Good, The Bad, and the Rowdy NC. An old west au.

The Greens Way of Life NC/M. A wonderful collection of One-shots and short stories surrounding the greens

The Number 3 NC. A great High School fic with some mysteries going on in the background.

Lycan NC. SO GOOD! A 19th-century supernatural au that is so well written. I can't recommend it anymore!

Killer's Playground. Mafia au. One chapter for each of the color code parings. Kinda violent

93,000 miles. I don't want to say much and give it away but it's super touching.

In general, just check out Miss.RoseGold. She has amazing greens content (the last few recs were from here) and I'd be here all day if I try to list them all. She's on FanFic.net and Ao3 but I'm not 100% sure if all her works are crossposted.

Green Maiden NC. An interesting dragon au. I don't think this one will ever get completed but it's still worth reading what's written imo

XXY NC a great high school, combined team fic.

Watching Her Move M. Short and smutty from Butch's perspective

Favours Fortune NC/M. A different take on the mafia au.

Our Italian Resturant. A great secret baby au fic. IDK if that made sense but you should definitely read it though

i thank the oceans (for giving me you). The fluffy family feels. I revisit this fic A LOT

Leaving. Just super cute and fluffy (maybe with a tad pinch of sadness)

Re-Life. Has some time travel shenanigans and is so worth the read.

I think that's a pretty good starting point. Again, it's not an exhaustive list of all the fics I have enjoyed in the fandom. A great piece of advice is if you find an author you like, check their account for their other works as well as their bookmarks or favorite stories. You'll find a lot of good fics that way. And don't limit yourself to one site. With a fandom as old as ppg you can find some amazing gems on "older" sites like FanFiction (it grosses me out to consider that site old). net and even here on Tumblr. Here is my own Ao3 link as well if you'd like to check out my own writing. Happy reading!

guys im so upset :((( i’m not sure whether its a tumblr glitch, or something i did wrong, but it won’t let me edit hardly any of my posts anymore💔💔 so im having to remake all of them now. i think the problem might have been the dividers since ive used other ones and im only having issues with certain ones. either way its SO annoying and for things like my fic recs everyone who had liked/saved it wont have it anymore:( and if i have to redo my own fics all my notes will be gone. idk what to do or how to fix it 🫠 if anyone has ever had similar issues pls tell me how to fix it or what the issue might even be! thanks xoxo

[yvonnesrespite]

Hi, Yvonne! Drop the skincare routine girl, don't gatekeep this. I need the recs.

Oooooh! You came to the right place, gorgeous! Okay. OKAY. So hyped for this! Like, it’s not my specialty since I’m not a dermatologist, so take this allllll with a grain of salt and your own situation in mind.

The main reminder I give you if you’re trying to actually be good to your skin is to DE-INFLUENCE your routine! There’s a lot of word and ads and influencers trying to promote and show off fancy and expensive products. You don’t need that entirely. Tune them out. Read the ingredients. Read the reviews. Try to get samples. Ask any sales associates, your own healthcare providers. Literally; Don’t let some glammed up doof on the internet tell you that you need some $40 toner that you’ll end up finishing within a month or two. Surprise surprise, they’re probably getting paid.

Hot take but it’s the same for the SPF hype. It’s fine and it’s great to be cautious, but for those with VERY sensitive skin that doesn’t handle a lot of products very well, you are ALLOWED to determine whether or not your SPF is doing more harm than good, and omit that from your routine if you have deduced it’s causing further irritation and adverse reactions. Either omit it, or only use it when you really need to, OR try to find one less taxing on the skin. DONT go nuts and go for the strongest stuff. Your bank account and skin will thank you.

The routine I follow is simple. Here’s the morning and evening routines!

Morning:

Non-foaming oat cleanser PHA+BHA toner that also hydrates! Niacinamide serum Hydrating moisturising cream with ceramides

Evening:

Remove make-up if needed with a micellar water+oil remover and cotton pad Non-foaming oat cleanser Blemish patches if needed The same moisturiser, OR a night cream that also hydrates

Occasionally I’ll do a sheet mask, clay mask, or even put on moisturizer and “slug” (putting on a more occlusive/protective product like petroleum jelly or Lush’s Ultrabland cleanser) (I’m not sponsored pls) (if anyone has a cheaper dupe that’s just as good, pls let me know, my wallet is sobbing) like, once or twice a week. Just be mindful of what your skin needs and can handle at the moment.

And for the love of god, do a patch test with your products first too. Some products will be marketed as gentle and high quality, but you’ll end up reacting to it like a madman out of NOWHERE. Test it first. Take it off if it starts to hurt or itch more than it normally should (if any).

We all have different situations, different sensitivities, and different strengths. This is my take, my routine, and it reflects my needs! So take it with a grain of salt, lovey! Hope this helps though.

Rarepair Tag Game

@snapesnailtape tagged me for this and imma give it a go. thank you, snail! :)

no pressure tags go out to @wellpresseddaisy, @greens-your-color, @momo-t-daye, @mmad-lover and @owlzerness, but anyone who wants to do this, pls feel free.

answers and fic recs under the cut!

--

i don't have a lot of time or bandwidth to read to read fics outside of my main fandom at the moment (my evergreen trash man, sev) so i'll focus on that. if i think up any other rarepairs from other fandoms, i'll include them, but the fact of the matter is a lot of the other fandoms i'm in don't have quite as diverse a set of characters as this universe, so it's not as easy.

also general disclaimer that i read any and all pairings as long as the plot interests me, so i've probably seen this man shipped with everything at this point :)))

without further ado and in no particular order --

snilch. trust me, i wasn't sure about this pair either but, as with many others, the fic Father to the Man by Delphi absolutely floored me and convinced me of its potential. i think i read The Lad is Gone shortly after and it was just...i was sold. sold, i tell you. adjacent readings that i can recommend is one where filch is the main character but sev shows up a lot in it too: ozma's Squib series on ff net is fantastic. (also features filch accidentally almost killing sev with his newfound powers and rolling in guilt for it)

snetunia. this is just a delightful and guilty little pairing that i absolutely love. they're more alike than they are different, given their personalities and their view of the world. petunia is cynical, hateful and spiteful, and is an excellent mirror to snape and his own flaws. A Part of Yesterday is one of my fave fics for them and so is Abide in Me (Love is Not Enough). A Fish Without a Bicycle satisfied a sense of fluff and Always is a poignant little fic wherein they're all miraculously friends, which was a refreshing change.

snagrid. just rediscovered this quite recently actually because i remember there used to be a site dedicated to this pairing. Thief in the Night rekindled my love for it. there's just something about a gentle giant and an acerbic potions master with their massive size differences and the fact that hagrid really doesn't care for sev's frilled-lizard act that makes for fun reading. they also make for good friendship fics, like in It Was the Tea!

stonks. it was @chiwi-la-capybara's story, The Itch, that really hooked me into this pairing. i loooove the dynamic and potential they have, with tonks being a clumsy and fun-loving cop while sev is just...the way he is. :)) Escape is a good action-filled fic too and has them both playing the roles they're assigned to play.

toby/eileen!!! you know i had to put this in. i count them a rarepair because i'm of the what-if-toby-and-eileen-actually-did-get-along line of thinking. one of the most recent ones i've read is Over the Edge which i think captures their relationship(s) perfectly.

i've lost so many good fics over the years due to forums shutting down and links being thrown to the wind but if y'all have other recommendations for these pairings pls share! :)

truly and honestly can’t think of any good sapphic musical artists? tegan and sara??? but they suck tho. I think the woman from tancred is a lesbian. st. vincent??? is ani difranco gay or did i make that up?????? if anyone has recs pls tell me

basic but I like Sarah Waters, Patricia highsmith, Sappho herself obviously….. read the mermaid’s daughter by Ann Claycomb recently and it was amazing. another thing where if anyone has author recs I want to know them

i used to HATE Valentine’s Day so much I spent all year one year working meticulously on anti-valentines for all the kids in the homeschool group explaining how Valentine’s Day was created to make money for greeting card companies and true love was a lie and they all had badly drawn gore art in them and were signed “evil rebel cupid master of death and doom” bc I was rly edgy and I made an extra one to give to myself so no one could trace it back to me (they all did anyway). I like it now though I think it’s sweet

I went to a pride parade all of once and it was a good time. not like life changing or anything but it was a fun rainbow themed block party

The Stranger (AO3) by @btssmutgalore (deactivated )

Seokjin x fem!reader (wc - 26.7k) strangers to lovers - angst, fluff, smut When your plane hits turbulence, you start panicking and tell some of your biggest secrets to the attractive stranger sitting next to you.

Perfect by @btssmutgalore (deactivated - AO3 works)

Seokjin x fem!reader (wc - 12.4k) roommates to lovers - angst, fluff, smut Your roommate seems to have it all - great grades, amazing friends, good job, beautiful girlfriend. However, after a bad breakup and a long recovery, you realize there’s one thing he’s missing. 

Knocked by @sailoryooons

Seokjin x fem!reader (wc - 10.7k) roommates to lovers - smut, humour Living with people is difficult, but all things considered, your new roommate isn’t terrible. He cooks, he cleans, and if you had to be honest - incredibly attractive. But his habit of streaming until the early hours of the morning while yelling and making other questionable noises has pushed you to the limit. You’ve finally decided to risk your sanity and put it all on the line with a reckless bet in hopes of getting some peace and quiet at night.

warm this winter by @jamaisjoons

Seokjin x fem!reader (wc - 51.6k) vacation AU, ons to lovers, exboyfriend Jungkook - angst, fluff, smut spending the winter vacation with an ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend was not something anyone would ever consider doing. spending the winter vacation with both an ex-boyfriend, his new girlfriend, and the one night stand you’d used to try to get over him, well that was a whole other situation that anyone sane would have fled from. and yet, here you are. caught between your best friend (and consequently your ex-boyfriend), and the very same man who you’d fallen into bed with after a night of wallowing in self pity. all while stuck in the picturesquely beautiful - and cruelly romantic - austrian alps. well. at least you can say you had an interesting christmas.

meet me at the bar by @eoieopda

Seokjin x fem!reader (wc - 7.5k) best friends to lovers, law school AU - fluff, smut You're supposed to be staring down the barrel of the last — and most important — examination of your life, but you only have eyes for your study buddy.

caught in waves by @aseaofyoongi

Seokjin x fem!reader (wc - 13.1k) strangers to lovers, chef!reader - fluff, smut after graduating culinary school you are fired from your very first job as a sous chef — so you move to a small town for the summer only to meet the very cute nephew of the restaurant and airbnb owner.

Amalthea by @daechwitatamic

Seokjin x fem!reader (wc - 40k)best friend´s brother trope- angst, smut, fluffYou can count on two things in life. One: that your lifelong best friend Minji will always be there for you, in your corner, your brightest star. Two: that you'll never be free from her older brother Seokjin's orbit - the gravitational pull is just too strong.

To Kill a King by @foxymoxynoona

Seokjin x fem!reader fantasy, historical, enemies to lovers - angst, smut What's more charming than Prince Seokjin? Nothing, obviously. Except maybe the rotating palace guests who each smile and bow and charm in an attempt to hide their true motives. Fortunately Seokjin has a close circle of friends (well, servants) who watch his back and endure his humor and help him navigate the tumultuous seas of heartbreak, love, and an arranged marriage, not necessarily in that order. If only they had helped him keep a closer eye on his bride-to-be's handmaiden, who arrives with her own agenda... or maybe it would have been better if he had noticed her less? One thing is certain as this royal drama of the heart plays out: there are many people competing to kill a king.

9 months to fall in love by @floralseokjin

Seokjin x fem!reader strangers to lovers, slowburn, dual PoV, pregnancy trope - angst, smut,fluff, romance It seems like everyone around you is either already in love, or in the process of falling, and while normally you couldn’t give a damn, finding out the co-worker you’ve had a teensy crush on is dating someone else at the office seems to sucker punch you right in the gut. It’s stupid, and you’re irritated at yourself, but you can’t seem to shake out of the funk you’ve fallen face first in.Feeling lonely and heartsore, and mad for no reason, during drinks with your best friend you spot a man at the bar. Tequila confident, you make your way over to the stranger, and successfully one thing leads to another. The next morning you leave before he’s woken up, feeling satisfied in one way, but still as discontented as ever. Telling yourself it was an inebriated mistake, you quickly try to forget about it.Only, three weeks later that night comes back to haunt you – in a very unescapable way…

[raysofcrosby]

have to go to the apple store bc apparently my macbook battery needs service, so im mentally preparing them to tell me ill either need to pay an arm and a leg for a new battery and the service— or to buy a new laptop.

i firmly believe my macbook is about to die on me and am 50/50 on buying another one— bc this is my second macbook and i don’t really look forward to having to buy another one in five to eight years

i really only use it for writing, daily use and to play the sims 💀 nothing too extravagant so if anyone has any recs pls do share

[freedomfireflies]

miss firefly,

has anyone ever told you how much of a sweetheart you are? well, if you ever need any dramione fic recs, please lmk. i have read a lot in my time. (why does that make me sound super old lol) i think it's the rivals to lovers trope (hence the special love i have for 404, also for some godawful reason it autocorrected to "livers") , the angst (i live for the angst) and the happily ever after (not realistic but who tf cares?) sorry for all the extra thoughts, i hope you don't mind the bonus content. <3

i really can't wait for you book. is it fiction or non fiction? are you allowed to tell us anything about it? i don't read non-fiction but if you wrote it, i so totally would because i am pretty fucking sure it's gonna be perfection. (i don’t know why but i read that in Chandler's voice when he'd said, "gum would be perfection.")

much love <3

BAHAHAH pls this is too cute of you!! Chandler is always a win 🥹💞

And agreed!! Dramoine has it all!! So good!! I have to say, my favorites are by @onyx-and-elm, I am absolutely obsessed with their storytelling!! That’s what got me hooked!!

And I know @harryforvogue has one they’re working on (if that’s okay to share, if not, please ignore me 😭) and I KNOWWWW it’ll be so good!!

Sending you SO much love!!😭💞

[rosyjuly]

hiiiii rosy! if you’ve had any good reads lately pls consider this a free pass to talk about them- i love hearing what you’re up to in the world of literature & am curious to hear whether any of the book recs you’ve been sent worked out! <3

hiii anon this is such a sweet ask, thank you so much!

i've read a lot this year (compared to my usual, i'm now at 13 books and i used to average one monthly). but this is also due to cutting down fic reading & writing, which i'm slowly picking back up, trying to keep it very low-pressure and fun. (just today i read @antimonyandthyme's newest sebmick fic, which is incredible.)

the last thing i finished (yesterday) was Averno by Louise Glück -- it's a gorgeous collection. it touches upon death, complicated family relations, grief, and also -- i'm sure there are better words for this, but i don't know them -- trauma that often comes with becoming a woman. see here, from averno:

from a myth of innocence:

the triumph of achilles has remained my fave collection of hers, but i liked averno better than the wild iris.

before that, i read neal shusterman's series arc of a scythe within like, a week. it's dystopian and ponders interesting ideas. there'll be a movie (allegedly) and i'm really curious about that -- i also started gleanings, which is a collection of short stories in the same universe. if anyone read the series, please hit me up because hooooo boy have i got some opinions.

i'm ALSO reading my dark vanessa but i admit i take a break after every chapter because it's quite heavy, but i love it so far!

and the book recs, i'm sorry i'm so terrible with them, but i've got all of them logged on my storygraph to read pile, and up next is: stone butch blues (i've only read excerpts before and i don't want my gay card revoked -- jk, jk), swimming in the dark, proper english and mort (discworld). i travel a lot and i always forget to download them and then i read whatever i have on the kindle or scribd app available!

okay one last thought: this year i finally got around reading margaret atwood (the handmaid's tale and alias grace) and james baldwin (go tell it on the mountain) and they were soooo good, i definitely want to read more of their works!

[metataxy]

My ancient handheld shower finally broke--the knob for changing between sprays snapped off--and they no longer make that model.  All I can find are these AWFUL ‘water-saving’ types, which I’d be all for, except the pressure is so low that it takes me four times as long to wash, so it’s probably using at least 3x as much water.  Whoever makes these things must be bald, bc there’s no way the ecofriendly models are getting past my hair to even dampen my scalp.

Sigh.  If anyone reading this has any recs for handheld shower that produces reasonable water pressure, pls tell.
