#tacky is as tacky does

Trying to associate Princess Diana with Hollywood vulgarity! She also needs to lay off the fillers. She's ruining her looks and morphing into her 68 year old 'momager', Chris Jenner, by the second...

You ever have those moments where an idea just... won't leave your head?

whats rosquez baby look like plsssss

she is SMALL for her age and has hmmm i think she has marc's eyes and annoying smile and tiny ears but vale's insane head of hair (with a weird parting pattern that she hates) and nose/chin and long ass neck. she doesnt listen to rules for shit and is an awesome criminal that marc (control freak) chafes at sometimes while vale (emotional latchkey kid comma thinks rule breaking is funny) always encourages. tags after him into the garage OFTEN and gets to hold wrenches while he fucks around with marc's motocross bike... she did NOT inherit the marquez freak stare she leans more smarmy charisma monster valentino style and yes she has a fuck ass bob for a while as a teen. she is the largest adrenaline junky in the world FULLY got marc's lack of forethought in terms of danger and her parents are like well sweetie you do not have to do bikes (hoping to not put pressure/do a doohan where the baby is in much safer motorsports after their life of motorcycle medical trauma) and shes like. i wanna do bikes.

day 21 of @hprecfest — a fic rated M | previous recs

author rec! more importantly: tacky rec! evocative, poignant & mature (heh), @tackytigerfic's works are charmed slices of aching life. tacky has a gift for making a meal out of the mundane: their style is imbued with the hush of a glade, something quiet that burrows under your skin and expands there. writing about magic lends itself to the excitement of outlandish predicaments— fuck or die marriage bonds, werewolves, time travel— but i love how tacky takes these improbabilities as opportunities to explore the vulnerable and common humanity that fuels love, friendship, desire, grief. i'd take a chance on tacky's spin on every ship, every trope & every circumstance, purely because i'm convinced they'd take as good care of me as a reader as they do their brilliant, complicated, messy characters.

i chose tacky's M-rated works because i think they best demonstrate how narrative pleasure can, and often does, lie outside the graphic. for an action-oriented, fast-paced reader like me, fics that hold my attention through careful tension & hard-earned payoff are especially enthralling. everything tacky writes, regardless of rating, is glorious & an instant recommendation, but when i think of especially fascinating work with a rating that doesn't usually hold space in my preferences, it's these:

between the power lines (M, 3.2k)

For Harry Potter, all roads eventually lead to Draco Malfoy.

an elaboration & attestation to my personal maxim: to fall in or out of love with someone, take a trip with them. glory be that these two do, glory be that it's the former. this fic stretches and softens with every word, like resin in the sun.

the long fall (M, 3.6k)

It's supposed to be a simple house renovation, and maybe it's just the paint fumes, but Harry is feeling dizzy around Draco Malfoy. And what's the real meaning of family, anyway?

vignettes from a life & love that glow hotter with every change. every word exchanged carries the weight of so much history, care & consideration. the dynamic is sweet & achy, a take on new parenthood that leans entirely into the uncertainty & joy of changing realities.

last offices (M, 6.7k) (mcd)

It didn't seem fair that Malfoy was dead, and Harry was supposed to just keep on living without him.

i reread everything before reccing, but i couldn't bring myself to reread this one because of the sharp, acute devastation of it. pain, regret, grief, dialled up to the extreme and done shatteringly well. the non-linearity of this fic is especially cruel; the heartbreak is never allowed to settle. 100% recommended!

our little life (M, 7.2k)

Sometimes Harry dreams. Only they're not really dreams at all, and Malfoy is always in them. It's time travel, but not as we know it, and Harry just needs a good night's sleep.

entire lives woven into snippets of togetherness, the call of something distant yet inevitable. harry dreams of universes with draco, which is to say, harry dreams of universes where he's loved. also includes the absolutely stellar line: Harry wondered if there was any possible universe in which Malfoy wasn’t an absolute dick about his dad.

take the moon (M, 15k)

Harry Potter has always wanted a family of his own, and when a deadly blood curse forces him into a marriage bond with his best friend Draco Malfoy, it looks like he might just have found one. This isn't the story of the marriage. This is the story of two hurt and damaged men who learned how hard they could work for the sake of love.

two men who don't quite know how to allow what they want fully into their lives, a slow crunch of yearning, the even heat of a dynamic that holds itself away from the brink, brilliantly satisfying when they give into the fall.

in conclusion: a stellar author with a flair for the understated whose works call to be savoured. as always, if you love them (it's tacky, who doesn't?), let me know!

i was wondering how it was possible for dev patel to play an action hero more soulful and endearing and badass and effortlessly cool than most and then it hit me: there's no sassy one-liner after the action sequences

[jackmkelly]

i hope newsies uk knows this move will never not piss me off they were not slick & this was in fact weird as hell! fix it before u come back!!

(clarice is not here bc im using the program after cast change btw. the girls were already on tv. it was not a “surprise” anymore. they were just ….)

New OCs

(briefly, humans and supernatural beings have to team up for building better relations with each other and all the supernaturals can shapeshift and take on human appearances but also have their 'original form'.)

OK so I was GOING to draw fanart today - I had a fun idea and everything! But health anxiety (and anti-anxiety meds) wore me out so I kinda .... slogged through OCs as a treat to me. I am going to go to the doctor tomorrow so HOPEFULLY it's all okay.

Ironic how the least high fashion and out of place fit of the lux couture line is the one the fandom likes the most

Me 4 months ago: hmmmmm… this could be a fun book to pass the time with

Me now: just found another crumb of murderbot content in an interview from 3 years ago. the gates of heaven have opened up and enswathed me in golden light

[stellewriites]

the thing about designing my work’s website is that i did fine art for 3 years so i have biased opinions and my boss has some very….. “graphic design is my passion” kind of ideas and no matter what i say she doesn’t change her mind and i have to like reluctantly just go along with it even when it inevitably looks like shit

Had a dream last night where I had to get glasses to wear for the rest of my life (as I do not wear glasses currently) and for some reason in the dream couldn't remember what my own glasses looked like despite them sitting on my face, aside from the fact they were green coloured. I kept getting compliments on my glasses from friends and strangers alike, saying how amazing they looked or how great I looked WITH the glasses and how it suits me, etc etc, and then I finally saw my reflection and got to see what the glasses looked like,

and found they were comically small, plastic glasses and did Not fit my face at all, and yet my dream self just looked at this and thought "hell yeah everyone's right I DO look great in these"
