i think one of the funniest weird trying too hard to make you are in nippon exotic foreignland you foreignman moments in xiv was there’s a sidequest line in kugane where you help out this kid at his job and some baka gaijin eorzean adults are like omg what a travesty theyre doing child labor & other chars are like it’s normal here it builds character. but the thing is that child servants and laborers seem like, utterly normal in eorzea too? the life expectancy is still apparently pretty short along with most people just needing to to live and theres a fuckton of kids who work. like house fortemps has two child servants. Did they forget

#MiniatureMonday
Foreign Lands by Robert Louis Stevenson, printed by Anna K. Ganske
In this poem by Robert Louis Stevenson, a child climbs up a cherry tree in their garden to see "foreign lands", such as the neighbors garden, and a nearby river. In a little miniseries for spring, we will be doing much the same, and exploring four neighboring books by two poets from the UK.
Our first poet is Robert Louis Stevenson, who is best known for adventure stories like Treasure Island, and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, as well as his poetry for children.
Today's item is quite spring like in color, with floral cloth covered boards protecting an accordion fold book, tied with a blue ribbon.

Any oneshots?
Supercorp Recent(ish) One shots
you're the only ten i see - C_AND_B
lena has the ability to see how dangerous people are by the numbers over their head. one day she meets the new HR woman at lunch - she's a ten in more ways than one
and when i'm feeling alone, you remind me of home - mooosicaldreamz
Alex’s sister, to put it shortly, is hot, and Lena is drunk, and she is, in general, uncertain of whether it’s alright to mount your best friend’s baby sister. or Alex and Lena are best friends and that's fine until Lena kisses Kara on New Year's Eve and it all just spirals from there.
i loved her to the point of invention - C_AND_B
lena spends most of her time making things to keep kara safe, to keep kara smiling (all the while refusing to acknowledge the exact reason she spends so much of her life doing so)
a six-day exercise in denial - sapphicluthor (triplicity)
“Andrea Rojas kissed me today.” Three things happen at once: Alex, mid sip, chokes on her whiskey, and spits half of it into her hand, and in turn, all over the Scrabble tiles she’s holding, Kelly lets out a shocked “Oh my God” from where she stands at Kara’s fridge, and Lena goes absolutely still.
The Ties Were Black, The Lies Were White - Rara_Danvers
Kara holds out her hand. “Kara Danvers. Ace reporter at Catco Worldwide Media and loving wife of Lena Luthor,” An air of confidence seemed to surround her, and no longer was Lena standing next to quirky journalist Kara Danvers, but someone closer to Supergirl. It felt like Lena was watching her toe the line between both personalities. “Loving wife, huh?” Roulette says, her mouth up turning into an amused smirk. OR Lena asks Kara to accompany her to her boarding school reunion. Kara decides to pretend to be her wife.
all i’ve ever known is how to hold my own (but now i wanna hold you) - C_AND_B
kara boldly taps on her walls and Lena learns how to let her in. day by day. step by step. it’s not always a linear process but she thinks she’s getting better.
kiss - cautiouslyoptimistic
kara danvers has never been kissed or, kara gets a little more than she bargained for on her new assignment
there's a rumor going 'round (about me and you) - Valkyrees
You know they all think we’re dating, Kara wants to say, wants to blurt it out in the open air right as Lena laces their fingers together and pulls open the door to their town’s old bar, but instead, she curls her fingers tighter around Lena’s, sucks in a breath of the brisk autumn air, and lets herself be guided inside. OR, au; everyone in town thinks Kara and Lena are dating, and Kara wants to prove them right.
with golden string (our universe was clothed in light) - hellfirehot
kara’s been a little too reckless ever since the crisis, until one night she finds herself injured and bleeding at the safest place she could think of: lena’s balcony or the one where kara and lena finally talk it all out
amnesia - cautiouslyoptimistic
kara loses her memories after an accident but somehow can't seem to forget lena
yours forever, Lena - spacemanearthgirl
At the suggestion of Lena's therapist, Lena writes a letter to Kara, confessing her feelings for her.
felled by you, held by you - ForeignLander
It’s the most gorgeous person Kara’s probably ever seen in her life and instead of saying howdy or hiya like her brain initially intended, her brain short circuits, the belt buckle clangs metallically where it hangs loosely at her hip, and her mouth goes hidy while her stupid, tortuous brain ceases all voluntary function. “Lena, actually,” says the gorgeous creature. Whose name is apparently Lena. To whom Kara has not responded in any way other than to stand there like an absolute doofus with her belt unfastened. Cool. Fine. That’s cool and fine. Or Kara is a flight attendant and Lena is a pilot and they fuck.
always too soon to figure out how to be without you - C_AND_B
Lena almost dies and the last thing she does is tell Kara she loves her. That she always has. Lena lives and has to deal with the consequences that follow that confession.
