God I had imaginings of one years ago called “A copy of a copy of Dior” and it never went, so god it would be so good to read one

saw it. This being the trimming and pleating on the bodice, the dramatic ruffled sleeves, the square neckline, the embroidered hem, the fuller back, and the closures on the back. All of these are characteristic of the German Chemisenkleid style, which exemplified bourgeoisie

a screenshot of a tumblr post by incalamity: “i mean i know fandom changes over the years and it's literally beating a dead horse saying this but i really do wish fandom emphasized community over "hits" or "likes" yeah yeah commodification of fandom and all of that but no wonder fan artists feel like they're shouting into a void be the only thing the fandom will do with their art is look at it rather than meaningfully engaging in it by reblogging or leaving a comment and not immediately unfollowing after there hasn't been a new post by that artist in a few weeks or a new update by the author in a few months because you're "not getting anything out of them" anymore. like you're really showing your cards thinking fandom creators are endlessly pumping out "content" for you rather than something they put time and passion and effort into”

fandom as a community > fandom as your personal content machine

Supporting indie bookstores isn’t just about where you buy your books—it’s about keeping money in your community.

Community is more important now than ever before, and indie bookstores have proven at every turn that they will protect, defend, & care for their community members without hesitation.

AGREED

Independent Bookstore Day is THIS Saturday! How will you be celebrating? 📚✨

A black background graphic featuring three archaeological objects: two small, flattened, worn leather-like items on the left and center, and a wooden stick bound with strips of material on the right. Overlaid at the top is the text “Stuff You Missed in History Class,” and a blue circular badge on the right reads “Unearthed! in Spring 2026 Part 1.” A small illustrated portrait logo appears in the top right corner.

Part one of this quarter's edition of Unearthed! features updates, medical things, books and letters, oldest known things, and smells.

I haven’t touched it since I deleted the first posting attempt off Ao3, so hopefully it still holds up!

I’m ridiculous and did this thing, so here’s hoping I actually finish a long fic this year! Because it’s been since 2024 and it’s starting to look sad 😅

Agatha Christie Fanfiction Mysteries — the dumbest series title yet

Good morning and happy #CommentSunday! As always, even the shortest comments can go the longest way, &don't feel shy or intimidated to let the creators know how much you've appreciated their work! 💐

Oh my god, I LOVE 😍

Your earring collection is delightful, I hope you know that

Smaller pair, BUT my school just got the book fair delivered this past week, so I am 100% in my Scholastic Book Fair high right now 😊

bingo, and that’s the bad voice talking, and I know it… but I am also occasionally sleep deprived and weak.

I think we’re going to post it anyway. What’s it going to hurt? Nothing.

My sister introduced him about a month ago, and now we’re both reaping the rewards.

“The rewards” being dancing around the kitchen, making burgers and sides, while singing along to Lover Girl.

no, we can’t, that’s very true… but I worry about it being a work in progress. those are less received right now I think.

Kind of want to be a complete maniac and post the first 2 chapters of another languishing #rwrbfic for the Red White & Royal AU challenge… which feels like too many wips in rotation, but also, when no one’s really out there, does it matter? 😈

RED, WHITE & ROYAL AU: APRIL POSTING IS OPEN 🤠⚔️

Yes, because he knows who Alyssa Liu is. He knows absolutely nothing else, but I’m here for it.

Apparently my 60year old dad loves Laufey, and has been playing Madwoman on a loop the last 2 days…

This is my new favorite information. Never change Dave.

A sepia-toned portrait of a man with round glasses, a high forehead, and a long, full white beard, looking toward the camera with a slight smile. Overlaid at the top is the text “Stuff You Missed in History Class.” A blue circular badge on the right reads “Peter Kropotkin’s Mutual Aid Part 2.” A small illustrated portrait logo appears in the top right corner.

After returning to Russia, Kropotkin was captured and imprisoned. But his life took many turns from there, and in 1902 he published his book book “Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution.”

I’ve actually got something #rwrbfic for WIP Wednesday this week! Coming soon too! (Thank you for @redwhiteroyalau.bsky.social for the kick in the butt to start working on this story again. Hopefully, after two years, it gets to go somewhere!)
