“Go outside and touch grass” well I can’t 🙄 A curse is on me if I stay my weaving, either night or day, to look down to Camelot

She's off, my darlings. She's searching for Lancelot

(Come visit me this Simblreen if you’d like to have Venus Vlad and The Symbiont of Shallot as paintings hanging in your sims' homes!)

Murder In The Mews

A review of Murder in the Mews by Agatha Christie – 240801 Murder in the Mews, the eighteenth in Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot series, originally published in 1937, is a collection of three novellas and a longish short story. On the plus side there are four opportunities for the reader to be astonished by the acuity of her eccentric sleuth’s little grey cells but on the other hand they are…

Hey,

who in Westeros would wear Aesthetic dresses and those dresses you see in Pre Raphaelite paintings? (asking 'cause George has cited the Pre Raphaelites as one of his inspirations)

Pre-Raphaelite art is my religion and Edmund Leighton and John William Waterhouse are my gods

Obviously the Sansa-core of it all is very strong like the loose, long shapes, the floral motifs, the gentle haziness of it all... Sansa Pre Raphaelite stock are through the roof

Also young Cat and other riverlanders girls in general it's all very "lost in a dream" vibes if u get my drift. And hot take dare I say young Cersei at some of these...try and see my vision

Modern AU Lady of Shallot where instead of getting all her knowledge of the world from a magic mirror she just gets it from watching TV shows/movies, and instead of weaving a magic web she just writes fanfic

The Mirror Crack’d From Side To Side

My thoughts on The Mirror Crack'd From Side to Side by #AgathaChristie #MissMarple #CrimeFiction #BookReview

A review of The Mirror Crack’d From Side to Side by Agatha Christie – 240223 The ninth book in Christie’s Miss Marple series, originally published in 1962, is distinctly average, overlong and one where you could almost just read the final chapter and get the gist of the mystery and how it is solved. True to form, we are treated to three murders, although the second and third are merely…

some branch of stars we see

Caleb Widogast is figuring his life out. He has friends now, a job he cares about, and can even – on a good day – have fifteen Bunsen burners turned on in his classroom, and not get pulled into the flames. What he does not have, is any experience training other teachers. Essek Thelyss is a prodigy, one of the Marble Tomes' foremost researchers, and the son of one of the Dynasty's most influential families—he is certainly not a teacher of children. And yet, somehow, he has ended up at a school on the other side of the border, with a list of publications as tall as he is and no classroom experience. All he knows when he arrives is information gleaned from the school's website, and the name of the person who will be training him—Caleb Widogast.

hey folks it's my teaching au! that has been in my head for... literal years now (before we even knew about the m9 epilogue). I have been planning this for ages, and since there are now two (2) chapters up I feel like I can actually share it on tumblr. enjoy!

it's a shame i have no idea which arthurian lit i read as a child because the image of a king unable to leave his castle because of an unhealing wound was so memorable and probably influenced me
