I would just like to say... that I would die for these two simping fools. That's it. That's the post.
“I read that book you were talking about.” Marlene spoke after a moment. “The bluest eye, I mean.”
Dorcas’s eyes were on her in an instant. Almost too stunned to speak. Almost. “You read a book I talked about?!” She asked sceptically.
Marlene just laughed. “I do read you know. No need to doubt my ability.”
Dorcas hadn’t been doubting her ability at all. It was just that she couldn’t imagine Marlene McKinnon sitting still long enough to read a book, just because Dorcas had talked about it.
“Anyway,” Marlene continued. “It was good. Really good. Lily had a copy on her shelf, so I stole that. And I really see what you were saying about that one quote. How does it go… ‘We mistook violence for passion, indolence for leisure, and thought recklessness was freedom’…”
Marlene kept speaking, but Dorcas had stopped listening. She was too hooked on how that quote had sounded between Marlene’s lips. Her favourite quote. Marlene’s lips.
Dorcas’s feeble mind couldn’t focus on anything else. Because for one, Marlene McKinnon, miss ‘I don’t read unless I’m forced to do so’, had read a book Dorcas had talked about once. And two, she’d remembered which quote was Dorcas’s favourite. Word for word.

The fact that femslash is even called femslash is wild. Like the fact that there weren't enough fleshed out/likeable/not dead woman characters in so much media that slash was only mlm is bonkers.
I, as a fic writer, even have issues with this. Outside my main ship (thiam) I don't write much femslash because it's hard! I've worked very hard in the past year to watch more woman led shows, but in my main fandoms it's difficult to find women who are alive, have been in more than one episode, in the same age range, and have met. Honestly, at this point, them meeting isn't even a requirement for me.
Supernatural for example: can you think of any sapphic ships that meet those very simple four requirements? I fucking can't
So here's some god-damn famslash appreciation!
swanqueen (Once Upon A Time) - This is so good it makes me want to jump up and down with excitement.
dorlene (Marauders) - I literally cannot recommend this enough. It's so good, and I think everyone who liked atyd should read this.
(A little self-promo too) But also one of the fics I've had the most fun writing.
tanthamore (Willow) - If you haven't read this, what are you doing?? 10/10
figayda (Fantasy High) - Genuinely on of my favorite fics ever. The way it's written is absolutely amazing.
Please leave more recs, I'd love to read them! Also, any dedicated femslash accounts!

hi <3
my name is Zorka, I also go by Seshat and Zonzolik
I'm neurodivergent and queer but I haven't figured out how yet (probably auDHD and sapphic but 🤷‍♀️)
I mostly participate in Good Omens fandom (Asmi's maggots by extension) and I sometimes slither to Doctor Who, Marauders and Percy Jackson fandoms
I was also made the scrivener of the maggot family meaning I keep track of all the members
if you're looking for some fanfic recommendations, I made a Fluffy Good Omens Fic Masterlist which I later turned into a Good Omens Masterchart that I continuously upgrade (it now contains cca eighty fluffy, smutty and other fanfic recs, David Tennant's filmography, a list of episodes of Doctor Who with DT and the maggot family tree)
here's my spotify, specifically my Good Omens playlist (mostly ineffable divorce heartbreak), and my pinterest
tags I sometimes use: #ineffable swiftie - Taylor Swift's songs that painfully remind me of Aziracrow #scrivener of the maggot family - everything regarding my scrivener job #original poem - poems that I occasionally write #reality actually - rambling about stuff from real life #thoughts no one asked for - my comments/thoughts while watching idk what (probably DW) #sharing art - reblogging excellent art of tumblr

i’ve got too much to do over the summer, both everything and nothing at all
but like a ton of personal project ideas and it’s honestly possibly too much because i think if i try to start everything then i will finish nothing
cause like here’s my current list of shit that i actively really want to do
finish although i am broken, my heart is unchanged still
finish is it all you desired?
figure out and work through my marauders doctor who au
write other fanfic ideas that i have
get prepared to move by going through what i own rn and purchasing/thrifting for my first place
tie dye and paint some shirts for myself and my friends
continue at my job for a few months
start a project of watching and analyzing every doctor who episode that includes the master (including episodes that i haven’t seen before)
visit my friends and family on vacation
draw out a tattoo idea
draw out some fan art
read The Tower of Nero
read the LOTR books
read some of the fanfics that people keep recommending to me
read more sapphic and trans fics
and there’s honestly probably more than that too
and i want to do all of these things but i fear i’m making a path to burn out, like at the moment i don’t read much at all and i’m looking to start changing that dramatically but i think that may actively make me have a worse reading experience
and then there’s like all the fics i’ve wanted to work on and finish and i want to do all of that so badly but it’s so much and barely anyone reads the fics that i put the most effort into because they’re longer (and i get that i have a short attention span too) but it feels so pointless to work on them at all when it’s that way, but i want to accomplish this so bad because i love these ideas but everyday it’s starting to feel more and more like it’s not worth it
every year the summer comes and every year i hate it, because i am alone and i do nothing while wanting to do everything
but i am alone and tired and nothing happens
it’s just hot and depressing

Master List of Recommendations
I rec what I read and read what I love! I don’t have any real triggers, so mind all the tags.
I will add links to additional lists as I post them: mostly FirstPrince and HP Ships: Dramione, Drarry, and rare pairs like NottPott, Scorbus, Panville, ParkWeasel, Harry/Teddy, etc.
Knowing you loved a story I suggested thrills me. Let's yell about it together! I'm active in the Room of Requirement and Rolled Sleeve Agenda discords. I'm sure the authors would appreciate hearing your thoughts as well, so give them some love if you're up to it. 💚
Lists below:
What you'll find in my recs:
Almost exclusively Ao3 works. I’m a big fan.
A LOT of shorter works. I love one shots. Works will be complete (unless I make a WIP-specific list).
Coworkers, pining, roommates, fake dating, friends to lovers, humor, cross-gen, only one mf'ing bed. I love an AU!
What you won't find much of:
In HP: Snape, Lucius, Death Eaters. Or Marauders (some cross-gen exceptions)
In HP: Sixth year/earlier, war, time travel/loop, memory loss, unredeemed Draco. Notable exceptions!
Sapphic pairings. LGBTQ+ representation is dear to my heart, especially in light of jkr's obsessive transphobia. However, my escapism into fanfic has been mostly m/f and m/m, so I don't have many wlw recs to offer.
I want to stress that this is by no means intended to be an exhaustive collection of recs! There's so much I haven't read. I just want to share what I've loved. 🥰 Please message me if you find broken links or know an author/artist tag I missed. 💚

This post is just a quote I'm really proud of from chapter 77 of my dorlene fic, There's Beauty in the Tragedy
Dorcas looked calm, if a little pissed off, and Marlene found herself thinking that Dorcas looked good slightly annoyed. She looked strong. Powerful. Given that Marlene was about to be on the firing end of her wand she really should have been more scared by that.

Am I obsessed with dead gay witches from the 70s? Yes. *Inserts Dorlene moment from chapter 87 of There's Beauty in the Tragedy*
It was just as she was running over the day’s events in her mind, that she felt a nudge on her elbow.
“I just wanted to say,” Dorcas spoke in a strained voice, refusing to meet Marlene’s eye. “Thanks.”
Marlene had to bite her lip to keep from laughing out loud. “What for?” She asked innocently, begging for Dorcas to keep going.
“For helping—” Dorcas took one look at Marlene’s face and any thanks left her lips as she rolled her eyes exaggeratedly. “You know, you could look less thrilled by me thanking you.” She snapped, staring straight ahead at the fireplace again.
Marlene shrugged, bumping their knees together playfully. “I just never thought I’d see the day.” She laughed. “Dorcas Meadowes, thanking me.”
Dorcas returned her knee nudge a lot more forcefully. “Shut up, McKinnon.”
Marlene chuckled. “Never.”
