First pic with my dog Bella (seven years ago) vs the last (today)
Had to say goodbye to my sweet angel earlier. She was the best thing that ever happened to me. She got me through some really rough times and I’ll always be grateful that I had her in my life❤️

Least favorite part of the Terror book and show?
Ooh this is a good one! :)
-
Though I'm more ready than most to defend the book for the things it does right, there's a lot that it does wrong. The dreaded Platypus Pond scene springs to mind, as does the woefully poor treatment of female and indigenous characters.
But then, no one needs me to tell them how much those parts suck so I'll go for something a bit more specific and that's the glaring inaccuracies and Simmons' depiction of every man below a lieutenant as speaking like some kind of plucky Victorian orphan.
It's a fictionalised version of events, of course, and Simmons is free to alter characters as he sees fit.
However, I just can't see that anything is added to the story by having Irving's Edinburgh childhood be a Bristolian one instead or having Blanky's people be waiting in vain for him back in Kent and not Whitby.
And I find it difficult to abide the idea of Aberdonian Mr Reid, Hampshire-born Charles Best, Shetlander Manson, and Hickey the Irishman all speaking in the same cartoonish patois of a Dickensian street urchin.
When it doesn't serve the story in any way, it just comes across less like any conscious choice and much more like sheer laziness and a lack of care.

As for the show, there's very little that springs to mind for me to actively dislike but I will admit that I find most scenes outwith the Arctic - with Lady Jane, Sophia, even JCR to an extent - a bit of a chore to get through. There's nothing wrong with them and they're valuable in moving plot and character forward but I just find myself less engaged with things outwith the main meat of the story.

WIP DAY.
tagged by @girlbosselrond @morvaris @aartyom @risingsh0t @phillipsgraves @leviiackrman @indorilnerevarine & @denerims over the past month! sorry it's taken me so long to get to anything at all, i'm sure you guys have heard me address it enough, but thank you all so much for continuing to tag me in things while i've been inactive ♡
tagging @aelyosos @brujah @calenhads @florbelles @jendoe @lightwardens @liurnia @nokstella @nuclearstorms @shadowsofrose @shellibisshe @steelport @swordcoasts @wrymbloods @voerman & all of those who tagged me again cause i'm so behind + anyone else who'd like to share anything they're working on, not just writing! ♡
i haven't written anything since the last wip game i did, but i started trying to put diana's timeline together at the start of january, so i mean... i'll show that instead. as you can see, fatigue hasn't let me do much with it even though i've got all of her timeline already done and strewn about all over the place.
started with 1995 onwards cause it was originally going to be an ewskers timeline situation, but then wanted to include all of her backstory so i went back to the start and still have the late 80s and early 90s to get through before then, but yeah :]
it's going to include like all little moments i've thought of between the ewskers just for me and placing them on the timeline, so you can imagine how long this is going to get if i have to go to 2021 for village... like just 1996-1998 is going to be so much... she's very special to me if you couldn't tell already lmaoo
never sharing this though, it's just for me, and like will help for when i do her timeline page (more in-depth version of what's on her oc page) to just run through canon events and brief descriptions and whatnot. you understand.
everything is blurred out besides 1995 ewskers momence and the years, just cause like idk her i feel weird sharing her in-depth backstory unless it's in dms or something, just cause there's lots going on there and yeah. things. idk
i also made a carrd for twt if you wanna have a look at that :] there's some cheeky subtle things with the two resi items i used as pics hehe
actually, you know what, i'll give a lil bit from where i left of with that rewrite anyways, even though it's been months since i wrote it. but why not
Wesker left a fleeting kiss behind her ear then reached around her and hooked his fingers beneath her coat, prompting Diana to glance back at him. But all he did was gently pull it from her shoulders. She watched him from out of the corner of her eye as he hung it up on the rack by the door, his movements careful and almost calculated, until he turned back towards her, and the warmth of his body returned once more.
He pressed up against her side this time, as opposed to her back, and one of his hands found a home on her waist. The way the arm it belonged to was resting firmly against her as he began leading her towards the kitchen was comforting, secure, yet unmistakably possessive. And she revelled in it. He had quite the knack for handling her just the way she wanted.

FWIENDS……………………………..
the highlight from this particular interview is that both iwasaki-san and hayama-san wish they could have sakakihara-san’s high range lol like hayama-san wants to give a go at voicing ramuda and challenge sakakihara-san to who can have the cutest ramuda (despite admitting sakakihara-san would win since the man himself is that cute lol 💕)
and jyushi is a very appealing character to iwasaki-san because he likes the way jyushi’s voice flip flops between highs and lows and also knows he’s mentally a 14 year old and jyushi’s chuunibyou character is the personification of that lmao
