#my lady Jane ff

[holdingoutforapiratehero]

How many Guildford and Jane smutty one shots am I planning to write this weekend?

[reallydampcake]

This is like the 4th time this has happened, I’m not gonna be able to watch things I’m interested in bc of the constant looming threat of it being torn away and being left with half a story uncompleted. I might as well just not watch tv lest i enjoy it and then have it ripped away

[fideidefenswhore]

What are your thoughts on Jane Boleyn, and the role she supposedly played in the fall of 3 Queens (Anne Boleyn, Anna of Cleves, Katheryn Howard)? Do you think she has been too maligned by historians for centuries, especially when it comes to the relationship with the Boleyns (it seems she got along with Anne)?

Now that I've read both works and compared them side by side, I suppose I would say my stance on Jane Boleyn falls somewhere in between that of Julia Fox and James Taffe ('Somewhere in between' is not, btw, Alison Weir); although closer to the former than the latter. Offering critique of both biographies, I would say that of JF is too apologetic (smoothing out wrinkles that exist in her arguments rather than acknowledging them) and JT is too severe.

Especially when it comes to the relationship with the Boleyns? Yes and no. Obviously she was married to George, she sent him a message of comfort while he was in the Tower, and wore only black the rest of her life, which was quite the potent statement. However, I would allow for the possibility that she potentially, inadvertently implicated him or AB (ie, testimony of hers was twisted to suit the crown's case). This is where I think there are flaws in the arguments of some of her defenders-- they cannot allow for even that possibility and so make claims that disallow it; some of which are untrue. 'Jane was only blamed as a means of absolving Henry in the whitewash of Elizabethan propagandists' is not true. Johannes Sleidan in 1545 claimed that Anne and George died by her 'false accusation'. Sleidan was a Reformer, so he would have been more sympathetic towards the plights of these two than the average person, and would have spoken to others that were as well, but the motivation to vindicate Elizabeth did not yet exist; she was at this point the very unlikely third in line to the throne.

I do appreciate that you said 'got along' with Anne, not 'besties', because...it's possible they were very close, certainly, but we must also allow for the possibility of animosity. The linchpin for the argument of closeness is the report from Chapuys that they 'conspired together' to banish Henry's mistress from court. Was this the precise truth? Considering the source I'm doubtful. Probably there was a lady Henry was serving at this time (although that we never have a name makes the story somewhat suppositious), but did they need to have 'conspired together' against her for Jane to be banished from court (which is what happened instead)? Jane might have merely made Anne aware of her, and Henry finding out that she'd been the source would have been enough for banishment. Or, as was presented plausibly in Adrienne Dillard's fictional rendition, Jane might have dropped hints to Cromwell that this mistress was a supporter of the two exiled and contumacious royal women that were Anne's adversaries, Cromwell might have passed this along to Henry, and Henry might have banished Jane for shattering the illusion that this woman had no independent ambitions or ulterior motives and merely let him hit for the sheer pleasure of his company.

If this was evidence of closeness, and it might be, then we also have to remember that the end result was Jane's banishment from court, and that there is, as JT fairly pointed out, no evidence that any of the Boleyns spoke in her defense, favor, or for her return. It would take an extremely magnanimous person to accept all that with equanimity and not feel any resentment whatsoever. So, if there was intimacy, there might have also been rift.

That leaves the question: enough 'rift' for her to seek vengeance? I doubt that much for all the reasons Fox outlines in her biography, but at the same time I wish there was not this relentless push to only defend women that we assert 'deserve' defense, on the premise they were entirely selfless, accepted every insult with grace, never kept any grudges, never had personal ambitions (the actions she took during the queenships of those you mentioned would suggest otherwise), mixed emotions, or conflicting loyalties; that we could acknowledge that acknowledging the agency of historic women also means acknowledging they were capable of making mistakes.

Stop calling My Lady Jane stupid! It's not stupid, it's actually a very deliberate and carefully crafted show FFS. They purposely made it anachronistic and whimsical and sexy AF! And it's good at being all those things!

Just like how Bridgerton isn't real history either and it's not trying to be, but it's very good at being a romantic fantasy!

Stop trying to prove you have refined taste and just enjoy things!

[anders-hawke]

the fact that ppl keep dissing bton s3 in posts about my lady jane just proves that hatred to love relationships have rotted ppl’s brains like ffs not every relationship needs to have the couple dislike each other!!!!! chemistry is not just when characters dislike each other while being horny for each other!!!!!! they’re both really good ships why do people insist on being so fucking negative!!!

[stillmakeminemarvel]

uh oh there's not been anything in the lady dorma tag for a couple days uh... fish lady pretty

she's so cute in the Hanna Barbera FF, she's just the perfect level of drama queen, but with Namor's flaws sanded off in the form of Prince Triton i imagine he comes off as much more "long-suffering" than Namor, who is her perfect match. I am however delighted by this prospect. The orange hair looks cute to me and it's swept up into a dramatic bouffant that i love, and that looks great with the purple (which along with red and yellow is one of her signature colours).

10/10

In the 1966 series she's practically perfect, of course being very close adaptations of tales to astonish. however the animation is not always flattering, to him more than her but still.

8/10

She's perfect in the 1994 FF too (starting to think it's really hard to mess up adapting Dorma, she has a very strong characterisation), and this is the only chance we get to see her 70s design animated, with its more fantasy than sci-fi influence, and it looks wonderful. She has the best voice performance by Jane Carr. My favourite deliveries of hers:

1000/10 she's such a crazy bitch i love her so much! Namor looks like a gormless rube, that's a shame, but she loves him anyway and that's what matters.

Annoyingly, I suspect she had been out of the status quo for a little too long by the time that FF 2006 came around, so she is not included, which is a shame in my opinion. She should at least have been in "Atlantis Attacks" even if there wasn't room in the story of "Imperius Rex".

Feel free to add on with any other versions of Dorma that i may not know of!

[stewpid-soup]

I JUST WENT TO A REGINA SPEKTOR CONCERT LIKE-

I’ve listened to her before, minimally, but i feel like i was always doing something else without paying full attention. I enjoyed the beat of her music because it made my brain feel good. The words are good, obviously, but I don’t think I really listened.

Seeing her live? Holy shit. I’ve never felt so entranced by something. Like normally when I enjoy something I’m stimming a lot and super excited. Sure, I’ve been exhausted recently and in a lot of pain bc of my fibromyalgia. BUT, normally things I enjoy tend to take my mind off of things to the point where it feels like I have adrenaline distracting me from my actual tiredness.

Today, however, speaking was hard because I wanted to catch every second of the song. I was excited for the show, but I was worried since I didn’t know a lot of her music. It didn’t even matter if I knew the song, I was swaying and tapping along to the piano. I brought sound proof headphones to help with the crowd and lower the volume with the actual music but damn- I still heard every beautiful line. Her laugh was gorgeous and goofy but it made me feel like she was talking to me. She was so sweet and just had such a comforting aura.

Fuck man, I could keep going about every detail sbout the concert. And I don’t mean any of this in a creepy stalker way, just she’s such an amazing human being. I may not know her for the person behind the curtains, but she just seems so sweet and kind. Ffs, she went on a ramble about how she didn’t wanna kill a bug that landed on the piano. She sang a song in dedication for Ukraine and all their hardships and the hope for a peaceful resolution. Part of the money that her merch makes is going to a good charity (as far as i know) that supports Ukrainians one on one. It’s called like Ukraine-something-Jane? I don’t remember, but fuck. I’ve never felt so seen and appreciated by a stranger before, especially a popular artist I enjoy.

All in all, 10/10 experience. Especially for a first concert!! Definitely gonna listen to like- all of her music a billion times over to relive this.

(A little bummed I didn’t get to hear Two Birds but u win some u lose some /lh)

Small rant timeee (disability access, assholes, just frustrations)

so me, my mum, and my dad weren’t told that seats with wheelchair accessibility meant only ONE other person could be with you. it was so frustrating, and i didnt think i was gonna wanna cry within the first few minutes of my first concert. my dad had to stand in the like sections between seating that would get cleared occasionally for like 20-30 minutes before a lady told him he could sit with us until intermission was over. so he did, but them the concert started and no one told him to leave nor did anyone else who was going to take up the TWO empty seats beside us come. The dude talking to us was like “im sorry i cant let anyone else, only one person” and my mum was literally telling him “we had no idea, no one told me when i called in to ask abt accessibility seating” and just GGSSKHCHMXGNSJFDUR

anyways eating dinner <3

[mermaidsirennikita]

a few quick recs, if you so please:

Contemporary:

Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid. A very hot, very sweet rivals to fuckbuddies to lovers m/m romance.

Chef's Choice by TJ Alexander. An m/f romance starring two trans leads, fake dating for $$, French hero, cooking competition. I would also highly recommend their newer release Triple Sec, which is a poly f/f/nb romance.

The Prospects by K.T. Hoffman. M/m, another rivals to lovers but baseball, one of the heroes is the first out trans man in Minor League baseball.

Glitterland by Alexis Hall. M/m, moody author/sparkly club kid, one night stand to accidental romance, bipolar hero.

Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner. F/f, accidentally hooked up with my new friend's mom, obviously an age gap/secret relationship situation. Nothing underage, younger heroine is in college.

Fly with Me by Andie Burke. F/f, nurse/pilot, oh noes I fell in love. with someone who was supposed to be casual.

Historical:

Unmasked by the Marquess by Cat Sebastian. M/nb, friends to lovers. Other Cats I love: The Queer Principles of Kit Webb (m/m), We Could Be So Good (m/m 1950s reporters friends to lovers), You Should Be So Lucky (m/m 1960s sports reporter x baseball player)

A Lady for a Duke by Alexis Hall. M/f with a trans heroine, friends to lovers with dash of back from the dead. Also recommend Alexis's Something Fabulous (m/m roadtrip romcom) and Something Spectacular (nb/nb, kind of an 1800s rockstar romance with a castrato soprano)

The Secret Lives of Country Gentleman by KJ Charles. M/m, baronet x criminal in the marsh. Also recommend A Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Nobleman (m/m boss/employee), Band Sinister (m/m rake/virgin), and The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting (m/m sex deal).

An island Princess Starts a Scandal by Adriana Herrera. F/f rake virgin with a bit a deal involved.

Scandalous Passions by Nicola Davidson. FFM poly with a bit of BDSM and femdom.

A Shore Thing by Joanna Lowell. M/f with a trans hero, roadtrip romance (with bicycle racing).

Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa. M/m Pride and Prejudice retelling with a trans boy Oliver Bennet, YA but quite good.

The Conquering of Tate the Pious by Sierra Simone. F/f villainess medieval romance with a nun. Also recommend The Last Crimes of Peregrine Hind (m/m kidnapping romance).

Fantasy:

Consort of Fire by Kit Rocha. FFM poly, arranged marriage with an assassin handmaid, he's very much the third.

A Sweet Sting of Salt by Rose Sutherland. F/f selkie romance, largely closed door/low heat.

The Fae Queen's Captive by Sierra Simone. F/f faerie kidnapping romance with a villainous heroine and some D/s.

The Witch Walkers series by Charissa Weaks has a secondary m/m romance (with POVs from both characters) starting in book 2, and it's quite worth tapping in for. Enemies to lovers with a lot of fated mates vibes.

Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall. F/f with fairies and Shakespeare x Jane Austen vibes. Also recommend Confounding Oaths, the m/m followup in the same universe. Both are pretty much closed door.

Paranormal:

A Long Time Dead by Samara Breger. F/f vampire romance, spans decades with lots of drama.

Erotic:

Give Me More by Sara Cate. MMF friends to lovers, bi awakening with road trip stuff.

New Camelot by Sierra Simone. MMF series with much angst, political drama, and King Arthur retelling shenanigans. Also recommend... pretty much everything she writes... Saint (m/m second chance road trip with monk-fucking), her Lyonesse trilogy (MMF with an arranged marriage, bodyguard-fucking, Tristan and Isolde retelling), and her Thornchapel series (Gothic with light paranormal, A Secret History vibes, preeeeetty dark and spooky, MMF and FF with multiple orgies).

Mafia Target by Mila Finelli. M/m mafia romance with an assassin/target angle. Mafia Devil (m/m, on a boat, secret identity stuff) is also good.

Sci-Fi:

The Stars Too Fondly by Emily Hamilton. F/f, stuck on a spaceship, one of them is a hologram.

one of the most rancid takes I see on booktwt all the time is basically "why would I read romance, I don't want to read about het people fucking"

because never mind the fact that there are closed door romances (I can't speak much on that because though I respect their existence, I like to read about people fucking and believe books can have merit and also feature explicit sex)

we can talk a lot about how romance, like essentially all forms of media, has a long way to go in terms of queer rep... because it does

but there are a lot of queer romances, you can find them in in virtually every subgenre of romance at this point, and if you truly can't find 'em you're just not looking and it's a bit of an insult to the writers who are writing them (many of whom are queer) to act like this is some het genre

[holdingoutforapiratehero]

This is 100% @burning-daylight fault! Addi, you bitch. You're going to poke someone's eye out with your Janeford gifs and you should be ashamed of yourself! Basically, Addi decided to gif their entire first time and my hand slipped as bad as Guildford's. There are no excuses for my actions. Just smutty death.

The Kingdom Hearts Iceberg meme - DECONSTRUCTED

So whenever I have way too much time in my hands (or I’m too bored to do stuff I seriously ought to be doing) I google “[insert fandom here] iceberg” and then compile on a list all the entries from all the icebergs I can find on said fandom with the thought that I may make the ultimate iceberg one day.

That never happens.

So anyway, I decided “screw it!” and now I present you the full, NUMBERED list of all the Kingdom Hearts Iceberg meme entries I could find plus some, in no particular order to speak of! I don’t actually know what maybe 30-40% of them are, and there may be duplicates or I may have grossly misunderstood some stuff, but that’s fine! I don’t care! Let’s GET TO IT.

SHITTIEST MUM OF THE YEAR THANK THE HEAVENS FOR MARGARET I LOVE HER #SISTERSOLIDATRITY #MY SISDESERVESGOODDICK ( also te sister's dynamic is what I wanted the Archeron sister's dynamic to be like, they might not get along well but they love each other and would go to any lengths to protect the other )

Frances is so cunning like caging stans hand between her legs ??? Hottt also why do I think stan is pretty ?

I love how when they fight and stuff guilford knows his boundaries and never pushes Jane like in a world where sa and shit is romanctizsed it really is great to see a man who might not like his wife but still respects her and listens to her.

Also the way during the bet fight scene she defeats him so easily and she's all I defeated you hahaha and this bitch is just like - I'm in love with my cunning wife ( as he ought to be ) and is horny for her ( total simp actually )

THE FIGHT SCENE OMG AHABSJSHSJSBSJSJWJWJWNWISJSHSJSBSBXJJSBSONWOJSOJSKAOKSNSJNDBDJSIWNAINSUXBSUABW8ANW0JWJS9QNW9JWJA9SNSJQONOOKTHE WAY THEY THREW THE SWORDS AWAY AND ATE EACH OTHER

Why you gotta ruin it jane bbg like I get it but PLEASE I love slow burn tho so yayy

Guilford baby come here I'm so sorry for all that you went thru and btw he has internalized enthianphobia

Sussanah is so nice I love their friendship, its real. Also the ethians remind me of the Palestinians getting killed just for existing.

Jane is queen now 🥳🥳🥳🥳

Review of My Lady Jane Episode 1 - Who'll Be The Next In Line ?

If you haven't watched it yet, please do so at the earliest.

Spoilers Ahead -

The narrator rocks btw

Right off the Bat I fucking love Jane, she's so awesome, like making a book for herbs and healing ??? ( that's so me btw ) and I adored the little detail that she also put in the time and effort to study and draw the plants for those who couldn't read, that's our inclusive queen right there. She's also so unfiltered and I love that because it's again very me coded.

During sex The Handmaiden, Sussanah nodded to give her constent to the stable boy who was waiting for her to say yes and like that's a very good thing to add because consent is important.

Jane I feel you on your views of marriage.

Jane's Mother is actually so complex, like she tries to protect Jane and use her for her ulterior motives as an act of twisted love which is all she can muster, loved the scene where Jane twisted her hand because fuck child abuse.

EDWARD I LOVE YOU MY GAY KING

Now Guilford is awesome, also idk why but I think he's an Ethian ? Is he the archer ? Because how is a bear the archer ? Orion reference maybe idk ?

Jane is so dramatic and smart omg, faking to have the affliction to as to not get married ? I love her, also guilford is having none of that is he 😂

Overall I love it and can't wait to watch more. Will reblog this for the next episodes.

Pride & Prejudice x F4

OMG. Not my favourite couples mash up. Here we goooo:

Thyme X Darcy 

Rich boi complex, starved of maternal affection. Umm. So we all know that Darcy was raised by his aunt and that Thyme was raised by the house keepers, so they probably can cry on each other’s shoulders when they enter the group therapy. I would love to see them discuss trauma while Gorya and Lizzie wait for them in the nearby coffee shop and swap proposal horror stores. Liz, you know he abducted me? OMG! Tell me. *sips tea*

Tailed by stalkers in Darcy’s case she was a friends sister, so not as disgusting as Hana, but for my purposes I am saying this tallies. I mean Hana is a special case, but that sis of Darcy’s bestie was another level of mean. Why does every man need an obsessed bitch tracking him like Elon Musk is about to track us with his chip implant, I failed to comprehend. Jane, you made every romance triangle a quadrant and I love you for it. 

 Insult my heroine before / during a confession. Ha. I cackled when Darcy rapped about how terrible Lizzie’s family, background and what not was and then he was like, yeah but scratch that, because I most ardently love you. The fuck? You can't just insult my girl’s lifestyle and be like never mind it’s cool. I want in on that mess. kjshsahjk. Compare to Thyme who literally said Gorya looked like a tramp and was black and blue with bruises (all your fault Thyme) but like ummm can't believe you made me fall so hard. Bitches. That  is highly toxic. Thank fxck my ladies have sense and do not fall into those traps that those bois weave. 

Have minimal awareness of emotions beyond misery until they encounter Gorya / Lizzie. Yeah no explanation needed. They are the prototype of aloof emotionally frozen degenerate. Pretty sure all my exes studied Darcy and decided to pause never grow past the point of Darcy being a little whiney bitch about everything. Ugh. Dancing. How dreary. It’s not Darcy you are just miserable. 

Love the girl before she realises her own feelings.  

Won't take no for answer: case in point Mr Darcy was sure she would not refuse. Thyme: finds creative ways how to break every boundary known to man. 

Gorya x Lizzie 

Are outspoken, with chaotic loving families that ends up causing more harm than good. Only difference being Gorya not shy of resorting to physical violence, but then pretty sure Austin would have written her character with few more punches if the evil editors allowed her to slap Mr Darcy after his confession. Trust me I that's how she wrote it in her first draft. 

Not in the market for a hubby / boyfie until Wickham / Ren appears. Remember when Wickham was wagging his tail at Lizzie’s skirts? Yeah. Then we have Ren using her as a pass time, while he discusses his actual crush. What a selfish bastardo. They can both be condemned because they play with my girls feelings and bread crumb their affection. Fuck that shit.  

Despise Darcy / Thyme for being proud spoiled mother trucker. LOL, because at least Darcy didn't bully everyone, but I bet he was a nightmare mood spoiler and a complete drain on any society with his gloomy nature and refusing to dance. FFS. As for Thyme, he's probably quite introverted too, so not much of a party animal more of a sappy drunk who gets spiked and abducted. They share that rich boi im better than you aura. 

Have a family member that causes them heartache. Lizzie: sister who marries her first crush. Gorya: dad in debt, which causes her to become a part time play boi bunny for a night. Both of which cause much concern to Darcy and Thyme, but also end up giving them reason to fight our heroine’s case.

Blindspot season 3

OK OK OK I have returned back to this 10/10 show and hello!!! EPISODE 15 LETS GO

I like Keaton... why oh why do I like this grub???? and the chemistry between him and Zapata?? they're a great team. I love the dynamic so much! Zapata's 'I am at capacity at keeping secrets' is literally hot. I love when she throws down back at Keaton hahahaha

I can really understand why Avery continues to push away from Jane especially because Jane continues to try and pull her into the storm. Not that Avery shouldn't be part of all of this, but I can understand her adversion to thinking her own father is capable of all the terrible things they continue to push at her!

eeeeeEeeeEeEeEep I still think Roman is... hot. The turmoil he feels about loosing Blake is very, very interesting. I like that he has all of these romantic feelings. His character development is so great to watch.

UGH ok Jane has just woken from her slumber to a sound... and wtf is Kade doing back here. "I'm not going to kill you.. I need your help" bitch why should she help you???? also her husband is going to bash him surely??? Kade's an idiot to be completely honest, Jane and Kurt have no problem going for the kill shot LOL they will literally murder without thinking HAHAHAH ooooft, CIA totally stuffed everything for Kade... interesting. Of course he wants a new deal what a headache.

HAHAHAHA of course Keaton is freaked out that sand storm has been found what a great moment in Blindspot hahahaha and of course Jane trusts Kade's word for it, there is another bad terrifying bad dude loose in NYC, love this for us. OH OH OH Crawford is involved!

200 million... for Blake back?? I am looking forward to seeing how they're going to get their children back. OoOoO they're being kept in a night club... god Roman's accent is H O T anyway, he is the only person talking sense. He doesn't want to start a gang war... but I am surprised that Crawford agreed with his business buddy over Roman??? especially because Roman is clearly educated and cares for his daughter? i n t e r e s t i n g

OoOoFT Keaton and Zapata is so hot... why are they so attractive? they are currently arguing over what they'll be doing with Kade. when they fight its full of vibesssss anyway, Keaton being honest and telling Zapata what's happening with Kade's husband.

Anyway, we are back with Jane and Kade interacting and I love how truthful Jane is. She is so sincere when she tells the people from her past.

Oh there's a building rade happening tonight?!!??! Kade just dropped the beans!!! yay, wonder how many headshots there will be by the team??? lets go lets go!!

FFS what is wrong with Crawford??? why isn't he listening to Roman? I don't understand why Crawford isn't listening? oh of course Roman is going in to get Blake. Boy oh boy, he has it bA A A a a a a a d, I adore this side of Roman SO MUCH!

Oh god Kade is seeing his son :( I am crying, this is sooo sad. His son started crying, AWWW get me a big big big tissue and a bottle of wine because I feel too emo for Kade and the situation he has put himself in at the expense of his family. What an idiot but also... circumstances hey??? I wonder if Kade holds back knowing his son doesn't recognise him anymore?

ANYWAY, Avery is baaaack and she wants to know what her dad did on his past life and I still wonder what angle she has... does she actually want to know? Does she even care???

Oh!! Kade is going to share his knowledge! ~how interesting, he doesn't know what's going on but he does know who the bad lady is... who is the bad person I wonder...? is it someone they know? Quinn BONITA?!?! who are you?!?? so you're a bad bitch? Why are CIA bad guys always wearing army pants and tight shirts and OH MY GOD THEY JUST got to a hotel and she's locked down the hotel and shot someone in the head??? why is Quinn going rogue??? oh because her husband was killed how awful :( this poor woman

Quinn is about to attack the CIA with full rights because her son was killed and wasn't at all rescued, you can't really blame her especially if Keaton is the piece of shit poster guy for them. Anyway oh my god the undercover office is at a research university "Belmore" uni!! oh that's so interesting!! the outpost, they've found it! how interesting!

OH MY GOD, THE CIA BIG WIG!!! HE WAS IN CHARGE IN ALIAS TOO!!! HOLY SHIT!?!?!?!? WHY DOES THIS ACTOR PLAY ALL THE BAD GUY LEADERS?!?!? LOVE THAT SO MUCH!! anyway, sorry I am totally fan girling right now... Robert, the director you're living your best life... how interesting. ANYWAY, holy shit we've got two bloody hectic storylines happening... now we've shifted to Europe and Roman is saving Blake's ass right now.

Let me take three guesses here and say that Blake survives this ordeal. OH OH OH Crawfords business partner set this whole thing up?? how interesting!?!??

OH ok oh oh oh my god Quinn's terrorists just literally shot another agent in the face. ~this is deep right now Quinn, she's right this will not bring her husband back and I can kind of understand the whole thing. Oh so Keaton is a hero then?!?!??! head shot... 4 now. 4 people have been shot in the head so far! hahahahahah + the ones Roman shot... that's 8 people HA HA HA HA HA

Interesting.......... dID i miss something? Did Roman set this shit up??? did he set up the whole thing???

Anyway, wow Keaton is a piece of shit for not upholding the bargain with Kade. That is terrible, I hope that Zapata makes sure he gets free. She shouldnt have to lie directly to Kade. Kade shouldn't be treated in this way, it's wrong and I think Z knows that too. I hope Z comes clean. OH she didn't have to come clean, Zapata looked like a big ass liar anyway!!

Oh sis... Zapata you big piece of shit

OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH O H ROMAN IS UNCOVERING THIS SHIT HAHAHAHAHA of course Crawford set this shit up ahahahhaa I actually thought it may have been Roman lol anyway, wow Roman.. why are you so clever. What a terrible father to Blake but Roman... you clever clever boy. Crawford is going to try and kill Roman I think??? i think that's where we're heading...? OH CRAWFORD Poisoned him/?!?!?!?!? hahahahaha I jdore crawford 'messing' with Roman but Roman is a nasty piece of shit right back don't mess with him bby crawford.

AWWW ZAPATA AND EDGAR GUYS she's still so but hurt with Reade and I need to know if they end up being endgame?!!? please tell me they do I'll be pissed if they don't end up being end game. That chemistry is still hot too??? there's so much hurt and loss there, so much tension.

AWWW AVERY has come full circle and realised the truth about her dad, she now knows her dad was a murderer and how heart breaking :( I dislike that she now knows he didn't choose her. That is so awful :( I wish that Jane didn't tell her! Was it really necessary?

WIP Ask Game

Thank you @reveling-in-mayhem for tagging me for this one, although I've been a bit quiet on the FF front for the last two years ;)

Since I'm unable to stay in one fandom and my plot bunnies (and plot hedgehogs) run wild, I always have a number of WIPs.

The most egregious cases are now haunting my AO3 account and I promise I will get to them one day ("A Little Lost", "Tremor", "Ice Heart" and "The Overlooked Case of a Blogger Who Read Too Much" for Sherlock, "Splinters" for OUAT).

I have several more in the files, and these would be, in no particular order:

Sherlock:

"A Desk", or That Antique Shop AU.

Sherlock runs a little antique and curio shop at 221 Baker Street, living above it in a flat also filled with interesting objects. One day, a man comes to look for a writing desk and identifies a Chesterfield on offer as something his family sold without his permission - a desk that belonged to his great-granduncle, John Watson (for whom he was named).

A ghost story

The late John Watson is haunting a... well, he is haunting, that's the important part. However, the man he manifests near to always thinks him to be a drug-induced hallucination. Does he have a chance of saving the addict?

A Midsummer Child

Sherlock comes back from his exile only to learn that John and his wife had been abducted when he was away, and their daughter is in foster care. He adopts her, claiming he is the only one who can actually care for her.

Pride and Prejudice

"Good night, good evening"

Elizabeth and Jane run a translation and assistant company, offering high-class help at important meetings - looking classy and able to provide interesting conversation and high quality translators. Charles Bingley is in a dire need or such help.

"Reading between lines"

When Mrs Reynolds breaks her leg, Darcy needs to hire a replacement. His lawyer firm finds a young lady who has been a housekeeper in a place called Longbourn - and comes highly recommended. Unfortunately, she also is annoyingly pretty.

Beauty and the Beast

"Pain and Compassion"

Belle is a nurse in psychiatric ward, who discovers a man has been placed there and kept flooded with drugs that send him into uncontrollable fits of rage. She manages to get through to him and starts working out what happened to put him there.

And the one that's taking most of my time now, my novel, "For the Price of a Charm" - a magical city guide, a snotty prince and a handsome bodyguard take a walk through the Royal City of Cracow. While she shows them the very best of what the Old Town can offer, pulling them through time and her Land of Winter tour, one of them falls in love, and the other despairs for his friend. The only problem is, if they meet again, she will not be able to recognise them. Her magic causes prosopagnosis and, while she will think fondly of the handsome guard, she would not be able to pick him out in the crowd.

Now, who can have some exciting WIPs... :)

@hpswl-cumbercookie @sherlockedcarmilla - do you have anything to share? :)

[sothischickshe]

I’m on a reading kick. Do you have any novels or short story collections you’d recommend?

!!!!!! omg yes i deffo do, ty for asking!

my major problem is that i give basically all my books away haha so im sure ive forgotten a lot of what i liked but anyhoooo!!!

short stories

daphne du maurier: ive read several of her short story collections & they were all great! don’t think you can go wrong whatever you pick

kelly link - pretty monsters

philip k dick: i read a 5 volume set of all (or most? idk) his short stories in chronological order & no regrets! don’t think you can go wrong whatever you pick

alice munro - runaway

nadine gordimer - the soft voice of the serpent

neil gaiman - smoke and mirrors (i find his short story collections to be a bit of a mixed bag cos im not into like sestinas or lovecraft ff, but there’s also always some gems!)

angela carter - the bloody chamber

roald dahl: ive read a few of his short story collections (for adults, though tbf i remember revolting rhymes being a lot of fun too) and they were great! assume you can’t go wrong whatever you pick

novels

dh lawrence - st mawr (i think this is technically a novella, you might only be able to find it in a collection...? it’s really fucking good though)

william morris - news from nowhere (or, an epoch of rest: being some chapters from a utopian romance...yes this is essentially socialist propaganda, and wot?)

aldous huxley - the island (60s huxley!!)

david mitchell - ghostwritten (first novel, structurally pretty similar to cloud atlas but i think this is probs both better AND a better intro, especially cos it’s kinda worth reading his bks in chronological order bc they’re loosely connected & that pays off later)

sarah waters - fingersmith (the novel the handmaiden is based on; set in victorian britain)

cs lewis - the screwtape letters (epistolary demon pov)

jane austen - lady susan (epistolary novel, extremely fun villain)

jasper fforde - the eyre affair (first in a series, super meta, welcome to literary crime!)

kurt vonnegut - cat’s cradle

jd salinger - franny and zooey (probably a novella? the sequel novellas & short stories are also excellent)

daniel defoe (?) - moll flanders (published 1722 but it feeeeels way more modern than, say, dickens)

lev grossman - the magicians (first in a series, sort of a realistic hogwartsy universe, with in-universe narnia-esque books but with clocks....im not explaining this well but it’s sooo good)

franz kafka - the castle (unfinished but still)

richard matheson - I am legend (will make you hate the film though, if you don’t already)

umberto eco - foucault's pendulum

robin sloane - mr penumbra's 24-hour bookstore

g willow wilson - alif the unseen

xiaolu guo - a concise chinese-english dictionary for lovers

milan kundera - the joke

diana wynne jones - howl's moving castle (an american made me read this, so i assume the joke lands with a non-british audience, haha)
