Sort of, yeah. @fleurdeneuf - Tumblr Blog

fleur's twelfth tumbrversary thank you post

hello, friends! i can't believe it's been twelve years since i decided to de-lurk and jump in to fandom spaces. i've made so many friends here, and even though we live in the worst timeline, fandom shenanigans and friends here have made it so much better. thank you all for being here. cheers!

here's a round up for my blog pages, for any new folks or people who typically use mobile:

about / fic recs / tags / how to tumblr / & x-kit / PCOS

there’s 18 years’ worth of doctor/rose (mostly, but far from entirely, nine/rose) fic recs in those pages, between teaspoon and here and AO3, and ten years’ worth of extensive tumblr tagging, so go nuts! ;)

speaking of fic, there are two things in my tumblr experience of which i am the most proud: collaborating on two amazing stories with @chiaroscuroverse, and coining the term "smupdate" way back in 2015. :')

a round up of some of my most used tags:

about fleur / fleur replies / fleur does the meme / fleur has an OP tag / christopher eccleston / nine/rose / simm spiral / film recs / i want this dress / pink

---------------

i'm also more active on ravelry and goodreads these days; if we know each other and you want to find me elsewhere and nerd out with me about yarn or books, send me an ask or an IM and let me know!

---------------

let's do a sleepover weekend thing to celebrate:

tell me about your favorite blogs and i’ll @ them

rec me something: fic, books, movies, tv, music, etc.

tell me what your favorite old movie is

send me a pun or a nerdy fact

tell me about your cat, if you have one

tell me what you're crafting/cooking/making

send someone a sweet anon ask (i won’t know if you do this, of course, but you’re welcome to tell me that you did! i love knowing when people are sharing the love.)

my askbox is open

being fixated on the events and queer history of pre-WW2 and beyond is so fun when I’m watching bookish because not only is it fun to point out obscure references to queer figures like Ivor Novello and the mention of Goodbye to Berlin written by Christopher Isherwood but also how fucking devastating it was to realize (spoilers under break)

That Book and Felix were not only surrounded by Nazis in the train station, but they were specifically being watched by someone who was potentially the gestapo 💀🫠

Ann Harding "La silla del testigo" (The witness chair) 1936, de George Nichols Jr..

#i watched this the other night #and it turns out i've seen her in other things but didn't remember #she was so good i was enthralled #such an expressive face and such graceful and seamless acting #a lot of actors in the 30s especially in low budget b movies like this shout their rapid dialogue lines and/or over act #shout out to margaret hamilton who was also good but ann harding was miles above her costars #her face and manner make her seem like a woman out of time #just breathtaking #ann harding #film recs #the witness chair #1930s #better with queue

I adore how much affection between Book and Trottie is shown, both in the show and in the novel.

The cuddling, the casual touching, the kissing, the holding hands. The amount of affection between them is a lot and it's affection you don't see a lot even in romantic couples in shows.

When Jack starts freaking out at them when they tell him about their arrangement, they start holding hands. That is such a wonderful detail and I love it.

Also using "my love" and "my dear" in their conversations even when they're alone....

It is absolutely, completely platonic, but the amount of love they have for each other is beautiful and the amount that they show it, through physical and verbal affection, is wonderful as well. It is such a delightful, refreshing show of platonic love between a man and a woman and it is so rare to see a platonic dynamic shown that way, let alone between opposite genders.
