what if your doppelgänger wasn’t evil it was just a person. what if your doppelgänger wasn’t trying to replace you it was just trying to learn to be a person and you were the best model it had. what if your doppelgänger looked at you with your eyes and said with your voice that it just wanted to be loved. what then.

that is horror of a different kind

Well somebody wasn’t fully prepared to be a parent. Don’t run cloning experiments unless you’re prepared for the responsibility.

Isn’t that the plot of that one episode of Dr Who? 😂

I was today years old when I realised that the Male British Inquisitor is voiced by Harry Hadden-Paton, who played slimebag extraordinaire Gaston de Foix in Versailles. Only took ten repeats of the second season for me to realise why his voice sounded familiar but I didn’t recognise his face 😂

Do I finally succumb to my teenage vampire obsession? Maybe so. Will there be sexy vampires and hot sex? Definitely 😅

Another visual demonstration that historical clothing wasn’t dingy and monochrome.

All of these colours can be obtained from vegetable dyes, producing different shades depending on what mordant (colour fixative - alum, different metal filings, different vinegars) was used. See here and here for examples.

Not clothes, but this was a palette developed by the National Museum of Denmark based on paint residue from archaeological finds for the purpose of painting a reconstructed hall.

Apparently, they can tell from the chemical composition that the colours wouldn’t be mixed with black or white to mute them, but be used in their brightest form. Bright yellow and red was achieved with expensive dyes (orpiment and cinnabar) and was thus fashionable. (Source in Danish)

the chris pine thing is so funny

[arahir]

like here's chris pine living his absolute best life reading books and loving film and definitely not writing erotica and he's dropped into a movie that seems like it's going to be fine like you've got florence pugh and former boy band superstar harry styles and nick kroll (??) and shia labeouf (?????) but whatever it's fine olivia wilde is directing except whoops she falls in love with harry styles and pisses off her boyfriend (ex boyfriend) who's been having his post-snl renaissance with an apple whatever tv show and so then olivia gets served custody papers while she's on stage at a film convention and then it turns out florence pugh is actually friends with jason sudeikis and was going to cameo on ted lasso because florence's ex (zac braff???) was directing some of it and here's chris pine and living his best life but he's in a movie where the director is dating the male lead and the female lead isn't talking to the director because of the everything and then shia laboeouf leaves the film and it's probably because he's a pos and the director implies it's because he's a pos but then shia posts a vague video showing olivia wilde calling florence pugh miss flo and it's from month's ago over nothing but it's chaos and it's the venice film fest and you're chris pine and you're trapped in venice with these people and harry styles kisses nick kroll on the lips and harry styles is saying the movie is a movie that feels like a film like a real film and florence pugh is fucking gone and it's just you and then harry styles spits on you (????) and it's caught on film and you're chris pine and all you wanted was to be in a movie and write some erotica on the side

The trouble with writing your otp is yes you’re inspired but also you need to pause every five minutes to give yourself emotional CPR

So the current advice to save money in the UK is to make a flask of tea to last the entire day and to use a gas hob in my flat that doesn’t have gas. Thanks, pal. I’m sure that’ll put a dent in the £100+ pcm rise in my energy bills 🙃

[noplace35]

Someone explain why 50k+ people have read what is probably the worst fic I’ve ever written in my entire life! It was one of my first fics, and my first in English 😅

[noplace35]

Hey besties! Crawling out of my PhD induced hole to say that I’m working on a Basim/Eivor fic that’s nearly 40k words long already and they haven’t even left Norway yet 😅

Would anyone even read a 200k+ word Basim/Eivor thing, or am I screaming into the void with this one 😅

[noplace35]

Alright lads we’re at 60k and we’ve finished Ledecestrescire, only like 10 more pledges to go plus the actual plot 😩

I’m saying this on here because only a handful of people know me in person, but tomorrow marks two years since I was r@ped, and I’m extremely proud of how far I’ve come. I finished my MA with a distinction the same year, I landed a great job the year after, and now I’m pursuing a PhD in a subject I love.

I think about it almost every day, and it still hurts, but it feels further away. I no longer feel as if he stole something from me. I can’t forget what happened, it’ll always be a part of me, but every day it gets a little easier.
