It's not a matter of _asking_ a partner like asking permission, but my partner would know about it because I share my life and interests with them?? Like I picked a partner that loves and supports me and would be happy for me to get a tattoo I was excited about???

I have a question which could be slightly controversial i guess.

Happy Tuesday, Black Sails Nation!

As was requested by @billie-bones, I’ve listened back through 18 hours of interviews and compiled a list of every fic mentioned on the podcast.

This list is categorized by episode and includes ratings and summaries, as well as direct links to the fics, themselves. I’ll tag as many authors as I can, but I may not know the tumblr accounts for everyone. If you see someone who’s fics are referenced and you don’t see them tagged and happen to know their handle on here, you may want to send this on to them, that way they know which episode they’re mentioned in and can listen to hear the fic discussed if they so choose.

Some fics got multiple mentions across several episodes and so, to streamline, I’ve listed them only under the first episode in which they are mentioned, so there are no duplicate listings.

Edit: This will be a living document, updated with each new episode with any new fic recommendations. If you’re an upcoming guest and want to compile your top 5 and prefer to mention fics that haven’t been mentioned before, this list will be a valuable resource to cross-reference.

I want to thank my dear @tiofrean, partner in crime and all-around badass extraordinaire, for taking my bare bones list of titles, authors, and links, and filling them out with summaries and all the details you may want to know before committing to a fic. She also broke down every series referenced into its individual parts, since ratings and details will change throughout a particular series. She did this without me requesting it because she’s simply that awesome. Not only has she donated cover art commissions for several episodes, including the upcoming-coming Episode 13, but she helped with this project, which took several days, just for that part, out of the goodness of her heart. You sincerely fucking rock!

And without further ado, here is the Reading Between the Lines Podcast: Fic rec Masterlist!

@lupismaris @jaynovz @etoilesombre @tiofrean @b1uetrees @aisalynn @vowel-in-thug @jadedbirch @justadearie @lurkerdelima @r0b0tb0y @primal--scream @stele3 @twofrontteethstillcrooked @citrinekay @tahiri-veila @bisexualpirateheart @reluming @flintfag @mycapeisplaid @redwhale

Once again, if you don’t see your friend’s account tagged and they are on this list, please tag them or send this to them.

Sincerest thanks to all of our listeners! When you listen to the podcast, you’re supporting so so many people in this fandom!

In reference to this post I was tagged in by @jadedbirch, regarding political discussions about War of Faith.

This is ground I've already covered years ago, so I'll link to those posts. Ultimately everyone gets to decide to what degree they want to confront the politics of a situation, but they definitely don't get to dictate how others approach such things, or to shame them or make it seem disloyal, culturally inappropriate or wrong to critique the politics inherent in what is an intentionally propagandistic drama.

A fairly comprehensive post about politics in fandom where I break down all the ways in which trying to shut down political discussions in fandom is not OK.

A fairly comprehensive discussion about false equivalence when comparing the political climate of China vs the West.

I have a lot of other posts about these topics, many of which can be found under my sociopolitical analysis tag. If anyone has specific questions about these topics feel free to add them in the notes, or message me or send in an ask and I'll address them when I get a chance.

A post about how I reconcile myself politically as a fan of GGDD.

I also recommend reading Pie's post about these types of issues because it is incredibly detailed and gives a very clear picture of the stakes of propaganda in China.

No one has any rationale for bitching about my coverage of these kinds of topics, since I tag everything. People who want to avoid these topics can simply filter, "your poltical disengagement is a weapon against you."

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

I was tagged by both @miss-ingno and @bbcphile and I haven't done this in a while so there ARE actually new things to add. ^_^ Also, classes start tomorrow so I could use a little distraction. Because I keep trying to find last minute things for myself to do instead of chilling out and relaxing and I need to stop doing that. O_o;;;

for @jadedbirch Happy Birthday!

everyone should read El's fabulous fic Rambutan by ElDiablito_SF For six years, Lan Xichen has lived in self-imposed exile in Singapore. But when he hears that his Didi is in a stable relationship with Jiang Wanyin, he decides it is finally time to come home.

Not to break them up or anything. Nope, definitely not to do anything like that.

Tagged by @ilackallhonour Thank you, lovely! <3

Last song I listened to: The Door by Teddy Swims. I'm obsessed. The Louis de Pointe du Lac of it all

Favourite color: Red

Currently watching: Masters of the Air. The writing's kinda mediocre, but the men are pretty and that's all I really need to draw me in

Spicy/savoury/sweet: Savoury

Relationship status: Extremely single but I don't exactly put myself out there, so it's not surprising

Current obsession: Other than iwtv, which has been the obsession for a year and a half, it's In Memoriam. I finished reading it over a week ago and I'm still thinking about it

Looking forward to: This weekend, because I've got the house to myself so I can actually breathe and take up space

Hi RBS!

I have an unusual question but it's relevant to our boys and I'd love to hear your thoughts! I just reread The Little Prince for the first time since childhood. And it was just as heartbreaking and depressing as I remembered it. 😭😭😭

My question for you is, what do you think it is about this story that draws DDGG to it? I'm not imagining that they've both said before that they love it, right? And I feel like they've both referenced it before separately. Or am I getting fannon and cannon confused? 🤣🙏🏻💗

Hey @jadedbirch!

Funny you should ask this particular question, because I have had a along post about them and the Little Prince in my drafts for months and months, probably over a year now (from whenever The Little Prince last came up in the fandom), and with DD's recent Little Prince photo shoot I've had a mind to finally finish it and post it.

I was going to do it today but I have been so busy. My hope is to get it done sometime in the next few days. 🙏🏻

I agree, the story is pretty bittersweet. More when I get the post finished. 😅

Yeah, May of last year. I'm so slow. 😅

Edit: You can find the post here.

BIRTHGAY SELF PROMO POST :D

I'm having a Birthday self-promotion party, friends! In lieu of Facebook wishes, I'd love it if you could 5-star my books on Goodreads or Amazon; @jadedbirch and I have been trying out the self-publishing route for ice-cream money ;) (Or if you wanna check out some Excellent Gay Romance, here's our KoFi! https://ko-fi.com/aelemercier )
