Life, Books, Cats.

Or, Fashion. Fandom. Shinies. Hi. My name's Lou. Welcome! My major fandoms currently are Star Trek (mostly DS9 and TOS), ASoIaF (the thing I'm writing the most fanfic for at the moment), Legend of Korra, Steven Universe, Star Wars (always and always) and Guild Wars. I try to warn for triggers, and sometimes talk about my mental illnesses.  Elsewhere, I draw, code dressup games, and write fic under the name Siamesa.

i do think that bashir and garak could play a sherlock holmes hologame together but ONLY if they're playing as holmes and moriarty respectively. there is no watson.

I think theres a watson exactly once. It is miles and he had to put up with so much flirt arguing that he will never agree to anything like it again

I love the randomness of the kudos email. It’s the fic I wrote this week. The one that’s 13 years old. The one that I don’t remember what it’s about or even what fandom it is.

Thanks lovely readers. <3 your taste is mysterious and wonderful.

I might have been slightly overconfident with this piece

Seriously anyone engaging with age verification bill discourse in terms of whether or not you think age restricting content is good or bad are completely missing the point.

These bills have nothing to do with keeping young people from doing certain things or protecting the children or whatever. Their point is and always has been one thing: If your operating system knows who you are it is impossible to have any real form of privacy on the computer.

Thats it, thats the whole thing. They want to link your every single usage of computers to your real world identity, and like they have been doing for all of time, they are hiding under the guise of protecting the children.

Alright tumblr, esoteric poll time. Have you ever been in the same room as the leader of your country?

Yes, once

Yes, more than one

No, but I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility

No, and I don't think I ever will be

And lastly, we have a total OC: "Lyla Plumm." House Plumm was around at the time of the conquest, I needed Westerlands, I needed purple, and one assumes they had a daughter or two at the time.

Lyla's clothes are Frankish, though the bright purple dye probably wouldn't have been an option for a historical figure. With no prexisting character traits to guide me, I decided to just have fun with the pose.

And here we have Torrhen Stark's unnamed daughter, who I've dubbed Darra. She's known for having her marriage arranged by the Targaryens, much to the fury of her brothers. Her husband, Lord Ronnel Arryn, was murdered by his brother, and it's unclear if she survived the carnage.

I've based her outfit on high-status winter wear in the Kyivan Rus', though with a few added Stark elements like the furry-shouldered cloak and the embroidery of running wolves.

(She also wound up bearing a minor resemblance to a certain DnD character of mine; at least one of y'all will immediately spot which).

Sharra Arryn, Regent of the Vale! She proposed to Aegon, but eventually surrendered without either battle or marriage when her son King/Lord Ronnel was taken for a "friendly" ride on dragonback. It's unclear if she lived to see her son's murder... but more on that next post.

This is perhaps the most loosely-inspired of the bunch; there are elements of Lombard/Langobard fashion, but I pulled a lot of high fantasy into the sleeves, falcon wing decorations, and cloak.
