I was a charming freight train

Anna, 25, writer of Phrack smut, Phryne Fisher's secret admirer ✿ Find my fics on AO3!

Imagining a 1920s Melbourne Police Commissioner, in need of an officer to go undercover at a radio station, deciding to send Jack Robinson because he has a nice voice.

[morningmee]

And somewhere inside that usually stern and yet sonorous, exterior of the handsome Detective Inspector Jack Robinson, hides a really snappy dressed and somewhat fast personage by the name of Archie Jones

My question is... Did Jack just have that rather loud wardrobe laying around in his closet? Because he couldn't have had eons of time to go shopping 🛒 for Archie's attire.

And if he had... What setting would he have used it? Maybe he (like the rest of us) had just 1 loud item in all categories of clothing and then decided to throw all of them into the pool that makes up Archie's style.

The jumper could easily have been a present from some aunt... But the tie 👔?!?

And the (pretended?) flirting 🫦

We really need a fic or 2 more about Archie

[allpartofthejob]

Lol... I guess he borrowed the vest from Alexander Cotton (from Ballarat train) ...

Miss Fisher Snippets (251)

You were looking a gunman in the eye, and I had to distract you? I was trying to protect you? Sure you were, Jack. There was no other way to divert her attention except – naturally – planting a long, hard kiss on the woman you were pining for. Well, maybe “pining for” was a bit of an overstatement at this stage, but Jack’s reaction to Lin in the previous episode (Ruddy Gore) gave away his growing feelings toward Phryne. All in the line of duty? You were not fooling anyone, Jack. I see love in your eyes.

It'll never fail to make me laugh how Jack went from constant shock whenever Phyrne would flirt with say those things to him to now unabashedly egging her on. What else do his smiles mean other than "you've got my attention, please tell me more" 😌

#she said match my freak and he said don't mind if I do

#someone should douse those two in cold water or maybe it's me who needs the dousing

now that the world cup is out of the way can we focus on me instead

Cate Blanchett on Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries loll ❤️

I perceive your vision! To be precise, I drained a glass of iced water about your vision. She is a glamorous aviatrix who comes to Phryne because she is convinced (correctly) that a series of recent mishaps are the result of sabotage. This turns out to be because her weaselly cousin is trying to assassinate her out of her inheritance, which is currently sitting unused because she refuses to fulfill the sexist conditions of her grandfather's bequest. Who needs an inheritance when you can swan around cleaning up prize money and successfully counting cards at the gaming tables?

Have you seen the names of these colours? You've got, er, Dust of Ruins?

No, no, and NO.

AO3 does not live in “the cloud” because that is other people’s computers, and other people’s computers are vulnerable to censorship.

AO3 is on its own computers. It does still have to be housed somewhere, and I suppose a determined enough hater could try to find that place and go after it, but it’s a lot harder than sending spurious complaints to Amazon or whomever going “BadWrong things are hosted on your cloud service!”

Owning the servers is a core tenet of OTW/AO3.

Warming up a new database server….

[elfwreck]

When people involved with AO3 talk about “the cost of servers” they don’t mean “the cost to pay Amazon for space on their servers.” They mean, like, the cost to physically own them, and eventually replace them with new ones. And the operating costs to run them.

AO3 is not “in the cloud.” AO3 is stored on physical machines that the OTW owns.

While this is not a solution that can work for everyone who wants to deal with controversial content, it is why AO3ple sneer at alt-righters who complain about getting thrown off hosting platforms.

I Want Us to Own the Goddamned Servers

Because I want us to own the goddamned servers, ok? Because I want a place where we can’t be TOSed and where no one can turn the lights off or try to dictate to us what kind of stories we can tell each other.

[lierdumoa]

AO3 is what a website looks like when you seize the means of production.

Never beg anyone for anything. Not time, not attention, not love, nothing.

[dangerouscommiesubversive]

I think a really good relationship dynamic is when one partner is an entirely absurd person and the other partner's perpetual thought process is, "I adore you. Why are you like this? I'm going to kiss you at such length and with such fervor that you'll get disoriented and stop being like this for five minutes and I can rest, for fuck's sake."

[risoria]

its been like three years but im still REELING from how they introduced jack in miss fisher’s murder mysteries, you think he’s gonna be this annoying wooden man showing up occasionally just to be dull and look down his nose at phyne while you wish he’d go away and then the two of them turn out to be THE most compelling and captivating m/f romancé arcs, like they went from zero to ”she sits on his desk feeding him gratin while he smiles wickedly up at her” in like TWO SECONDS and you’re left with whiplash..

[avoteforme]
