Quentin & pointlessness

[ottersandfandoms]

anyone else find it interesting that Quentin constantly describes himself as broken(and the word is applied to him a lot), but fixing broken things is his specialty(minor mendings)

'This [plant] is how you felt when you were eight years old, and you opened one of the Fillory books for the first time, and you felt awe and joy and hope and longing all at once. You felt them very strongly, Quentin. You dreamed of Fillory then, with a power and an innocence that not many people ever experience. That's where all this began for you. You wanted the world to be better than it was. ... That hopeful little boy you once were was a tremendous dreamer. He was clever, too, but if you ever had a special gift, it was that.'

"Delicately, Julia pinched off one hard seedpod and straightened up. 'Here. Take this with you. I think you should have it.' It looked like a seedpod from any ordinary plant anywhere, brown and stiff and rattly. ... He put it in his pocket."

shawn mendes' recent comments about "trying to be really brave" and "figuring out" something "very personal" with regards to his sexuality is so... interesting to me, esp with that "insider" quote about how taylor's sexuality "wouldn't be questioned" if she was "shawn mendes" or whatever point that "insider" thought they were making... because shawn is sounding more and more bisexual by the fucking minute.

evan buckley is really quite quentin coldwater coded when you think about it. and eddie is kind of eliot waugh. so when are we gonna have THAT conversation.

Tumblr, we need your help.

Please please please tell us you know who this uncredited extra is. He is casually hand feeding Eliot in episode five. We have dubbed him Pistachio Man. He remains a mystery to us all.

Happy 1 year (and 1 month) anniversary to my first-ever published fic, Mending The Tears ❤️ I honestly had never dreamed I would publish any of my writing before this. But over time, as I wrote it, I decided why not share it? The Inkheart fandom is quite small and there's not a lot of fics out there, and I was happy with the quality of my work. The dialogue flowed so naturally when writing, so it was very enjoyable to create. I've since been overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness of the comments I've received on it, and I will treasure them always.

Bought this sight-unseen as a birthday present to myself and it fits perfectly; I'm like geeking out about it lol. Previously owned by Ethel Cain (at least according to Salem's depop) but idk if she ever wore it for anything. More thoughts/my plans for it under the cut

I very obviously need to find a slip to wear under it if I ever want to wear it in public LMAO but the sheer silk chiffon(?) material is beautiful as-is imo

There's a small stain in the back and apparently it's somewhat difficult to get stains out of silk chiffon, gonna try to take it to a dry cleaner or tailor and see what they think. Might be why Salem & Hayden sold it, but in fairness to them the stain was visible on the depop listing so I did know it was gonna be there

Really really pleased with the color too. The lighting on the depop listing made it look brown with darker brown lace (so I wasn't sure how I was gonna style it cus I don't usually wear a ton of earth tones) but it's actually this sheer cream? And the lace detailing is grey with a kinda lavender undertone

Not a genuine Gunne Sax but very clearly made in that style. Has an International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union tag from the 1974 to 1995 era so it's anywhere from ~30-50 years old

Lots of fraying going on around the seams but the seam allowance was also much larger than in a lot of modern garments, like 1 inch in some places. Maybe in case previous owners wanted to let it out some? Hopefully some fray check or something will keep it from unraveling for a few more years, but yanno I'll get a tailor's opinion first like I said

The fit is perfect which I was really nervous about. The waist measurement was listed as 24" and I've never been below about 26.5" even at my lightest weight, but it seems fine. Already hemmed perfectly for my height in a ~3 inch heel too

All in all I think a genuine Gunne Sax in good condition would easily fetch what I paid for this; undoubtedly I also paid a "previously owned by Ethel Cain" markup lol but get that bag, it was my birthday, I'm happy with this anyway etc.

MAYBE a Perpetual Flame tent revival performance fit, or if not that then (duh) maybe a fit for an Ethel Cain show if I decide to drive out for one (would it be weird to wear her own dress to her own show lmao?) I had something gothier planned for Perpetual Flame originally but we'll see

I love my girl in wrapping but nothing could've prepared my hands for the amount of darning I'd have to put in for a career that wields scissors every day.

[cpmhew]

Here's something I scream about in my head every day: The minor mendings theme is there FROM THE BEGINNING. Literally in the first scene!! In wording so close to what comes later!!

1x01 // 1x05

[livepasthope]

he goes to talk to his dad because they have to bring magic back but magic doesn't come without a cost

[rxttenfish]

oughghhhh polishing this draft is hurting way harder than just writing it in the first place

i have to make sure everything makes sense! that its clear where they are in the scene when theyre just standing together and talking over a letter! i have to make the dialogue flow from one point to the other! i have to make sure that people understand thats its just a quality of the characters involved that they drift from one emotion to the other quickly!

Season 1 Episode 5 - Mendings, Major and Minor

this is the welter's episode! but the foreshadowing keeps foreshadowing

love an L cut

fogg with ulterior motives aka always

fr alice internalized that q killed her brother

"what a pisces" penny u king

the show doesn't explain that travelers r especially jilted like the books and honestly i think they should

"there aren't enough noble quests to go around" we'll see about that

el's little boytoy feeding him snacks

how does el have so much sexual tension with margo as a gay man its so

i may or may not have memorized the tut for the silly little black hole spell when i was like 15 (along with like 15 other tuts but dw abt that)

the fact that we meet q's dad as a nightmare before we meet him fr is so sick and twisted

i did never understand how the correlation with q's magic and his dad's cancer

"need a hand" picks the smallest book off the stack

king and queen of being manipulative cunts

minor mendings tease

little cakes tease

lizard acid tease (even if they didn't know it yet)

they made him a pillow lazy boy

magic comes from pain mention

a great way to get the things you want is to be so miserable you don't want them anymore - womp womp

"its the universe deep dicking us, lie back and try and enjoy it" margo, queen of one liners

kady and penny fucking like jackrabbits my beloved

kady putting the joint into penny's mouth is the kind of relationship i want

i forget out much julia annoys me in the first season

the foreshadowing is foreshadowing (victoria and the beast:(

3rd year class in 2013 dates this show so bad lmfao

cancer puppy is too cute to be what he's supposed to be

bro why do spells exist and go into circulation if they don't work???

i love this scene with the airplane and the way it mirrors the one with the mug in season 4

marina and julia being the same person from different points in time

"the first spanking u wont enjoy" "thats kinda hot" queen shit.

the beginnings of alice x quentin

fillory mention

[killedgirl]

u really don't get access to this kind of unadulterated delusion anywhere else

[orcelito]

minor illusion is honestly the best cantrip for someone who enjoys flavor-text (aka me). spicing up this side rp with some minor illusion work to portray what im talking about more visually. honestly it's a godsend for Fang, who's not the best at words. he can just create some lil illusions to help illustrate what he's saying. and of COURSE im gonna use this plenty. of Course.
