hate being autistic and a theatre kid bc when i watch stuff i like im sitting taking fucking notes on the costuming and makeup and lighting to use for analysis like its so over

#i love and hate this; i pause a LOT to take notes which combines with my adhd to mean it can take a month to watch a three hour play #theater #i love it tho

enough about taylor swift already. reblog and tag the smallest, least known artist you listen to

#music #gosh definitely one of the artists whose CDs i bought at my college radio sales #tobie milford is an electric violinist who isn't even on spotify; gregory douglass is sad but whimsical; bryan scary is fun and bouncy #and the sunny era is fun but i relistened to their album recently and it's sort of all the same song #tom mcrae is small but not THAT small; okkervil river was small when i first got into them but they've gotten bigger now i think #so out of these i think bryan scary fits 'small' 'not well known' and (currently) 'listen to' the best

No see results option, I'm forcing you to perceive yourself. rb for more results plus

#poll #irl i'm really loud and excitable and chaotic so if you're already into what i'm into you'd probably be excited for my enthusiasm #but if a stranger saw me getting really Into whatever they would be alarmed and 'coolness' would not be a concept that enters their mind #online i can curate myself a little more and take the time to be excited in a more coherent way so you can follow along and get excited too #so i think i'm cooler in person

#chocolate covered strawberries are the best; chocolate covered pretzels are what i have most often #chocolate covered cherries are actually and truthfully of the devil #especially when they've got that awful syrup in them. hate it hate it hate it #tag yourself #poll #you did forget raisins and peanuts but those aren't my faves

#it's newish so it takes me a second to figure out who you are #(i haven't scrolled tumblr regularly lately so i have no idea how new it actually is. new to me anyway)

i think what’s on a person’s nightstand is very telling so reblog this and put in the tags the things you have on your nightstand

#tag yourself #i don't have a nightstand per se but on my headboard or under my pillow is usually a combination of notebook + pens; current book; hairpins #and my phone

Poll for writers and artists

Whether you write fanfic or original works or paint/draw, be it fan art or original work or whatever else - I have to know, because I have a feeling this is going to be very decisive:

Please reblog for sample size!

#it is an honor to inspire somebody to write something else #it is a disgrace for my creativity and the creativity of the prompter to be killed by the plagiarism machine #<- prev tags are very good #i'd be okay with someone making work inspired by mine without asking first; but i'd want to at least know about it afterwards

update, april 22: the Agonies of Laertes are complete! It's now long enough to split back into two scenes (1619 + 1697 = 3316)

current total, just under 14k; graveyard scene is about halfway done

me, march 5: i was just going to write a quick summary for how the bridgertons each portray their characters and how certain scenes go, but i went into soooo much detail with the closet scene (518 words)

me, march 6: oh wow, eloise and anthony are getting really involved talking about a scene that doesn't even happen onstage (655 words)

me, march 8-12: ah, now the nunnery scene is getting long and involved (2154 words)

me, march 16: haha, act 2 scene 2 is so long i had to split it into two chapters, but that's fine because it's an absurdly long scene in the play itself too (2470 words)

me for like a month: lots of writing about things that aren't this AU, but i *will* have benedict have Feelings and Opinions about the granvilles and their relationship dynamic for a couple hundred words

me, april 17: well i'm focusing on laertes, so i might as well combine his act four scenes, oh god, why can't i stop doing a line reading on every bit of dialogue, what happened to summarizing?? (2132 so far)

all these later sections are pointing and laughing at the ~super long~ closet scene now. it's still well-done, and i don't think i'll make it longer to match, but it's very funny to me how much my expectations for this project have shifted.

the total word count is a little over 12k, and everything i've written so far for act five is about 360 words, i really need to hurry up and write the damn duel so i can post this and be done with it.

reblog for bigger sample size

#i bookmark occasionally but most of the time i forget the feature exists #<- prev tags are me exactly. sometimes if i REALLY like a specific writer i'll go on a bookmarking rampage #also i clicked 'my bookmarks are between me and god' which i realize too late was probably intended for private bookmarks #but what *i* meant is that god is the only one who maybe sort of understands why i choose the fics i do or don't decide to save #if i'm meant to find them again i will at some point

#MY HEART BRO#also i love how Bridgerton started out as a thirst watch for Luke Thompson#and now you like it unironically like that’s actually so cool :3 tags from @cleverclove

This particular fic is still very much a vessel for me to talk about hamlet, and to thirst over luke thompson XD but yeah, i've been enjoying the show, even when it's objectively silly sometimes. also, you should definitely consider yourself tagged for the last line thing!

last line challenge

Rules: In a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words. Or as many as you feel like.

i was tagged by both @glintglimmergleam and @avocado-moon so you get last lines from each of my WIPs!

Laertes finds himself hoping it’s a wrong number or someone trying to sell him something, but of course that was wishful thinking, so he faces his fate with an ironic smile. “Hey, Dad, what’s up?”

viscount's men

Benedict’s only been truly angry a couple times in his life [examples] and that’s what he taps into when Laertes scolds himself for being womanish enough to cry. His memory of rage becomes Laertes’s heartbreak: the speech of fire is not exactly a lie, but it’s not Claudius he’s angry with. If anything it’s himself, or maybe God.

(So far the only examples I could think of haven't happened yet in Bridgerton canon, so I'll have to make something up. Probably a time he saw someone bullying someone much smaller than themself, that's the sort of thing Benedict would despise)

tagging: @eirenical, @tropesarenotbad, @goosemixtapes, @lesbiancassius, @suits-of-woe and anyone else who wants to show off a bit of writing!

@glintglimmergleam every time i leave a comment on ao3 i use the floaty comment box add-on from tampermonkey so i can easily insert quotes and flail in real time, and when i'm done i read through everything to see if i can condense it before i hit 'post comment', and it always ends up like twice the length it felt like it was going to be. you've just got so much worth quoting!

i love how hermione has such a rule following aura that everyone ignores that she is the real rule breaker of the trio. harry sneaks out at night sometimes. hermione straight up kidnapped a whole woman and held her prisoner in an enchanted jar. even tom riddle didn't do that.

#harry potter #hermione granger #ooh this is a good addition!
