Hopping on to drop a link to a podfic that the lovely @elle-ja-bell did for Soul of a Man 💚🥹🫶 go check it out and show some love! I think it was wonderfully done 💚
I just finished The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself. Everyone. I have to lay down and scream. I have been BEGGING on my hands and knees for a gay fantasy that is actually gay and doesn't kill their characters left and right. Yall. This may be my favorite show of all time and the only OT3 I hard-core ship 😭
…”Will you tag (something that is not a common phobia or trauma trigger)?” is always an appropriate request. Even if you’re asking “will you tag for the letter ‘e’,” you’re not crossing boundaries unless the person you’ve asking has already said, clearly, that they will not tag for a thing.
However, “no,” is an equally appropriate reply. It’s nice to have reasons (no I will not tag frogs because I post too many frogs and I forget, meaning that the tag will not protect you; no, I will not tag Disney princesses because it says “Disney princesses” in my blog description and you knew this was a dead dove before you took a bite), but they are absolutely not required.
“Will you tag for birds of prey?” “No. Please unfollow me if you require that tag.” is a perfectly polite exchange.
Still haven't watched season 2 of The Witcher. I HAVE moved out of my parent's house into a house with my fiance who I am marrying in two days (October 31st)! I have two dogs and a wonderful home and a soon to be husband that I adore. Lots of life changes happened to me in the past year and it's been a lot. I've been working on art a lot - maybe looking into a tattoo apprenticeship? I currently am the manager of a used bookstore. My life is very different than it was a year ago and I couldn't be more grateful. I'm here, I'm alive. I've just been dormant because I felt bad not watching season 2. I still may or may not watch it and I may not produce a lot of content for a while, but I HAVE been creating IRL. Lots of art practice.
Y'all my life has been insane lately. I am alive. I WILL be posting more soon. I haven't seen season 2 yet so I've been keeping off of the internet around it to avoid spoilers. I will watch it soon tho 😭😭
the novelty of having a pet will never wear off on me i’ve had animals my entire life for 23 entire years and i still sometimes stop and go holy fuck there is just a little guy in my house
oh, i am finally old enough to know why my parents took so long to grab their coats. why they would ask us to get ready to go only to sit down for another round of coffee. what would i tell myself, at 10 years old? it’s okay. sit down with them too. take in the extra hour with your friend and her family. when you get home, write down every moment in your diary. one day you will be older and you will be waving goodbye to your best friend, and you will turn the key to start your beat up little car engine, and you will look back over your shoulder. her hair will be blowing in the wind and she will be beautiful and you will be, for a moment, struck by all of it. what you will feel is so wide and nameless that it will engulf you. and you will think of being 14 and kicking her under the table in math every time you wanted to whisper something behind the teacher’s back. you will think about how long the days felt, and how you could hold her hand whenever you wished, but you didn’t. and you will think about all of the people you could have lingered with. and you will wish, more than you have ever felt a wish, that the universe just gave you that - more time to linger. more time to say - i love you. i know i need to leave, but i don’t want to leave you. and when i go, i am leaving a piece of my heart that lingers too.
one more round of coffee. the days are so short, and you are so lovely.

Emily: I knew you had a secret. But when you were little you were so carefree. But these last few years more and more it’s almost like I can feel you holding your breath. I wanted to ask you about it, but I didn’t want to pry. Maybe I made a mistake.
Simon: No. No mom, you didn’t make a mistake.
Emily: Being gay is your thing. There are parts of it you have to go through alone. I hate that. As soon as you came out you said, “Mom, I’m still me.” I need you to hear this: You are still you, Simon. You are still the same son who I love to tease and who your father depends on for just about everything. And your the same brother who always compliments his sister on her food, even when it sucks. You get to exhale now, Simon. You get to be more you than you have been in, in a very long time. You deserve everything you want.
“This truly is a good spot. It’s quieter, here, away from the crush of people. And Jaskier had just known, forgoing the opportunity for dancing and celebrating with dozens of strangers to sit up here, with him, away from the overwhelming noise. He’d lead Geralt away without needing to be told he was struggling - not that Geralt ever would tell him - and brought him here with soft certainty that he’d find it far more comfortable than any of the taverns below.”
