I'm happy for the authors getting their bag (and I don't think any of the writers who have gotten deals entered fandom with that intent). but it gets to a point.

publishers, bet on an original idea challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

lmao I binged season 1 in the fortnight before the master's thesis was due ... ended up writing 70% of it in the 48 hours before the deadline (worth it)

can't wait to read it!

sometimes I think I have too much free time, but then I create these artistic masterpieces

Draco as human Christmas tree

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my dark lord sent to me

12 stunners thrumming
11 vipers griping
10 guts a-leaving
9 rabies lancing
8 blades a-tilting
7 wands a-skinning
6 teeth a-swaying
5 gored ribs
4 bawling chords
3 drenched lens
2 degloved lungs
And a part-rat in a hair tree

happy day Len! 🎂

after years of near misses with traffic, pedestrians and lampposts I have finally found the thing that will stop me reading as I walk.

today I stepped on a dead rat. 😭

isn't this just the plot of tsitp? (I've never watched/read it)

RUST SUPREMACY!!!!

(other option is finding existing wolf, dragon etc plushies and pulling out my scissors and sewing kit ...)

I am going to teach my two left hands how to crochet jUST so I can have a little amaris 🥺

gonna learn to crochet just so I can make a little baby version

thank you thank you!

oh this is true, not a criticism - I remember being absolutely enthralled by it (but I fear baby bea probably had less insightful interpretations than you did 🤣)

@senlinyu.bsky.social

I hope you'll forgive me @ing you (yet again). Do you remember the name of the podcast you listened to about the Eastern Front?

Inserting myself into the conversation to say that almost twenty years later, i am still traumatised by Is.

Like. What is this cover?????

I've already got that adipocere sheen 💅

unfortunately i'm sure security would still ask for my ticket ...

desperate times = desperate measures.

I thought it was *almost* on theme.

when alchemised is less raw and painful i WILL be listening to every clip I can get my grubby little hands on.

(my plan is currently to sneak into sen's event in the london church disguised as a coffin)

realising this book (crucial interventions) was on sen's 'books that made alchemised' post; sometimes I do have thoughts!!!

so happy for you and not at all jealous 😭

everyone say hello to the bookmark I found tucked into my latest library book 🥺

ooooh that's pretty melty, given all the symbolism chestnuts have! (see attached from the dictionary of literary symbols)

formally launching my campaign for the helena/kaine ship name.

their surnames are marino and ferron, right? marino = seawater and ferron = iron. what happens when you mix seawater and iron?

you get RUST

I've suggested this before, but it's not catching on for some reason? 🤔

I would put it next to my taxidermy collection (very thematic) but I worry it would fall and crush it 😭
