Character Voice Tag
I was tagged by the kind and ever lovely @rbbess110. Check his post out here!
the name of the game: rewrite the phrases given to you in the character of your own ocs and provide some phrases of your own! (as a dialogue bitch I FUCKING LIKE THIS)
my lines:
"I'm sorry."
"I need help."
"I really appreciate you."
"I'm sorry.":
Menodora: It would be foolish of me to pretend I am perfect. No one is really, and everyone who appears to be is-- Nevermind. ...Anyway, I admit it wasn't my best moment. I will refrain from repeating this action in the future.
Benjamin: Oh, I didn't mean to do that. I'll make it up to you, sorry.
Apollo: Shit, dude. I'm really sorry.
"I need help.":
Menodora: Are you busy? I have something that needs your attention.
Benjamin: Could you lend me a hand for a moment?
Apollo: Hey, I need your help with something.
"I really appreciate you.":
Menodora: Often I find that the best company is myself. I think it is only in the company of people like you that I start to doubt that. Not completely, you're insufferable, but a little. Thanks for that, I guess.
Benjamin: I hope you know that I appreciate you. Life is more fun with you around. I can only try to return the favor, huh?
Apollo: You know, I really fucking appreciate you. Things have been crazy lately, but you're always there by my side and it's... It's honestly really nice. Thank you.
my lines for YOU the reader:
"Fuck you."
"I missed you."
"Are you okay?"
@deviljayman. @squarebracket-trickster, @bluberimufin, @bardicbeetle (unsure if you do tag games, if not ignore this), and whoever else wants to do this! I meant it when I said YOU

The Disability Library
I love books, I love literature, and I love this blog, but it's only been recently that I've really been given the option to explore disabled literature, and I hate that. When I was a kid, all I wanted was to be able to read about characters like me, and now as an adult, all I want is to be able to read a book that takes us seriously.
And so, friends, Romans, countrymen, I present, a special disability and chronic illness booklist, compiled by myself and through the contributions of wonderful members from this site!
As always, if there are any at all that you want me to add, please just say. I'm always looking for more!
Edit 20/10/2023: You can now suggest books using the google form at the bottom!

"on the town with the league of gentlemen" thoughts!
(bearing in mind that i have not fully [re-]watched the tv series yet)
i almost prefer it to the tv series? which is weird bc no visuals. but the immediacy of the audience connection makes it feel a bit less uncomfortable. (yes i am a wuss, what am i doing in this fandom :P)
ditto the fact that literally all of the parts are played by them, inc misc small children, etc!
LOVE the way in which this ends up subverting chloe and radclyffe away from the classic creepy twins trope XD mark is having so much fun :'D
general fascinated nerding-out over the ways certain scenes/characters/arcs do/don't change/evolve between the two versions/to suit the strengths of the different media 8)
soft spot for some of the characters that don't appear in the tv series, e.g. Answerphone Man, Reg Ingleby :D some delightful voice work <3
i am worse at telling apart their voices (when the characters are unfamiliar) than i thought i would be :P i think i mostly got it though
two whole scenes which reece carries by having a duologue between himself?? (stella/reg, bernice/benjamin.) which rarely if ever happens in the tv series? even though they could easily get around it with camera angles/lack of live audience? FUN.
(maybe sometimes the others too but lbr i'm only paying attention to reece)
feels like getting the makeup on really helped reece round geoff out properly :P
the way the lack of visuals means that when a reece character is suffering he properly goes hard on the whining and whimpering in order to sell it :3
i feel like barbara is a bit more humanised (/less dehumanised) in the radio version!! she gets a romance arc and everything. justice for barbara < / 3
you know when you consume a media when you're like 12 and you pick up a meme from it that just becomes part of your vocabulary forevermore without really remembering the origin? OH SO THAT'S WHY in my head it's mandatory to mock-argue about whether the trivial pursuit counters are wedges of cheese or pieces of pie :D that was a pleasant little brain clunk :)
(for the record i'm with stella)
hoist by my own pet toad THEY FUCKING WENT THERE XD can't remember if this ended up in the tv series too, but if it didn't, they're cowards :P
all in all, strong recommend, lots to enjoy, wish there was more meta about it :')
#tlog#on the town with the league of gentlemen#reece shearsmith#also the rest of them but you couldn't tell from this post :P#sheece rearsmith

Discharge Petition for H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Record Group 233: Records of the U.S. House of RepresentativesSeries: General Records
This item, H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, faced strong opposition in the House Rules Committee. Howard Smith, Chairman of the committee, refused to schedule hearings for the bill. Emanuel Celler, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, attempted to use this discharge petition to move the bill out of committee without holding hearings. The petition failed to gain the required majority of Congress (218 signatures), but forced Chairman Smith to schedule hearings.
88th CONGRESS. House of Representatives No. 5 Motion to Discharge a Committee from the Consideration of a RESOLUTION (State whether bill, joint resolution, or resolution) December 9, 1963 To the Clerk of the House of Representatives: Pursuant to Clause 4 of Rule XXVII (see rule on page 7), I EMANUEL CELLER (Name of Member), move to discharge to the Commitee on RULES (Committee) from the consideration of the RESOLUTION; H. Res. 574 entitled, a RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE BILL (H.

Project Daycycle:
♡ "I'm too grown for your tricks; I know this isn't love." ♡
General info
Standalone or Series: series
Progress: drafting book 1/4
Tropes/Ao3-esque Tags: Enemies to lovers, slowburn, family of choice, team as family, morally grey characters, redemption arcs
Book one
Working title: First Rises the Night
Main character name: Menodora
Summary:
Hundreds of years ago the creatures of mythos struck a deal with mysterious elemental beings to even the score with humans. In the wake of that agreement is an earth especially tailored for the creatures of mythos, humanity not being able to use their magic, and an empire ruled by the iron fist of the elementals. Both creatures and humans cling to the prophecy that a great chosen one wielding the element of light would fight to free everyone from the empire's grip. However, a chosen one of darkness was also foretold to oppose them.
In the present day, Menodora is still struggling after realizing that despite being human and having the ability of light, she is not the chosen one. On her journeys far from the place she once called home, she's recruited by the werewolf general, Thais, on a plan that might be crazy enough to actually overthrow the empire. Will she be strong enough to help with their movement, or will ties from her past hold her down?
Quotes:
Author Notes
Why "Daycycle?"
The working titles are all themed around times of day. This is inspired by the eternal daytimes in certain areas of the world!
Will you publish it?
Don't know! Most likely yes.
Romance or Found Family focused?
So far it's found family. When I say slowburn for the romance, I mean it. It's so slow my writer friends are trying to convince me to speed it up a bit for my own sanity. This story is very character focused, so it's important to me that the romance takes its sweet time. That being said, found family for the win baaabyyyy
Where can I see what you've posted so far?
I try to put all my writing snippets (and finished works but they have a separate tag) under #my writing, though rambles and writings can be found under the #project daycycle tag.
All the character tags are #p. d: (character name) and there's the tag p. d: main cast when referring to the group at large.
Can I be on your taglist?
This question is highly presumptuous, but yes hypothetical stranger, you can! Just ask in the replies or tags.

" È consolante riandare alle proprie letture. Penso alle fughe nel fantastico quando si leggeva dei pirati della Malesia di Emilio Salgari, o Giulio Verne e i viaggi per ventimila leghe sotto i mari, o le memorabili avventure di Oliver Twist in Dickens, o l’Odissea che lessi da piccolo in una edizione illustrata a colori, e i favolosi volumi della «Scala d’oro» che la Utet stampava, divorati nel tepore della cucina. Daniel Pennac ricordava la sua lettura di Guerra e pace «che si svolse di notte, alla luce di una lampada tascabile, e sotto le coperte tirate su come una tenda in mezzo a un dormitorio di cinquanta sognatori, russatori e sussultatori»*. Walter Benjamin, in Infanzia berlinese, ricorda i romanzi di avventura della sua infanzia che gli venivano incontro come venti del Sud o tempeste di neve: «I paesi lontani che vi incontravo danzavano confidenzialmente l’uno intorno all’altro come fiocchi di neve. E poiché ciò che scorgiamo lontano attraverso la neve non ci invita fuori, ma dentro, cosí Babilonia, e Bagdad, Akka e l’Alaska, Tromsö e il Transvaal abitavano dentro di me»**. Tutto ciò che l’umanità ha pensato, concretizzato, fantasticato, sentito e intuito sta nei libri. La finzione della poesia o della narrativa ci fa percepire il mondo presente e ricostruire il passato. È simulazione potente di vita vera e di emozioni. Grande consolazione è il sapere che tutto sta nei libri, nella loro presenza fisica. "
* D. PENNAC, Come un romanzo [1992], Feltrinelli, Milano 2000, p . 122.
** W. BENJAMIN, Infanzia berlinese [1950], Einaudi, Torino 1973, p. 78.
