Objectionable When Sober, Abominable When Drunk @parlorsnake - Tumblr Blog

Welcome!

About me—I like old movies and even older books. Cats love me, men fear me. Kind of witchy but not, like, an aesthetic witch, more like, ‘we’ve got witchcraft at home’ hedgewitch. Mid-30s, neurodivergent, ace-ish, straight-ish.

Anyway, feel free to say hi. My work is currently on Ao3 under the same handle.

Cover photo is an antique postcard from the V&A archive. Profile pic is from the Alice illustrations by Mervyn Peake. Title is a quote from Black Narcissus (1947). Above is a panel from the Moomin comics.

Hmm

For some inexplicable reason my entire for you section is currently filled with young shirtless David Attenborough gif sets

#I guess Tumblr learned he was a twink #and this is the inevitable result #not sure why it’s being shown to me #but I’m not complaining

snake trying to bite ocelot gif made for my own personal enjoyment

#this better not awaken anything in me #jk too late #metal gear solid 3 #snaaaake eeeaaaterrrrr

My straight male coworkers were thrilled that I picked up Metal Gear Solid. They were less enthused, however, when I started MGS2 and began referring to this man as Solid Cake.

#the tactical battle corset is sending me #there is no heterosexual explanation for so much about this game #millennial men are very sensitive about MGS #it’s kind of cute #and I enjoy trolling them about it #metal gear solid 2

I finished MGS3 recently and during the whole playthrough I had this nagging feeling of Ocelot reminding me of some other character but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.

Then it dawned on me:

#same energy #Metal gear solid 3 #paper mario

I made a double feature of Black Narcissus (1947) and The Devils (1971) last Easter by sheer accident and it is now one of my favorite double features of all time

#not that either movie had much of anything to do with Easter #ah yes the famously unproblematic filmmakers Michael Powell and Ken Russell /s #it just dawned on me I have a weird number of movies about nuns in my top faves #idk what that says about me #movies #classic film #Ken Russell #powell and pressburger

Home means something different this time, when Haar follows Jill into her bedroom.

Fandom: Fire Emblem 9/10 characters: Haar/Jill rating: E words: 2,464

“Haar, have you ever...?” "Me? No." "Really?"

#this is lovely #my fave Tellius ship #maybe fave FE ship overall #written by someone who truly knows & loves these characters

I got carded at the liquor store and it had been so long I had no idea where my ID was. I basically had to dump my purse contents and rummage around to find it. The cashier was likely just trying to flatter me by asking. I’m certain he deeply regretted it

#also sir please get your vision checked #I have so much gray hair #with bride of Frankenstein white streaks to boot #there is no mistaking me for 21 #I wonder what he thought as I was dropping acorns and walnut halves that look like owl faces #and pretty rocks and bits of mica #and finding bags of freeze dried cat treats and German gummy candies #for some reason my ID was living in the pouch with period supplies lmao #mortifying #but hey I did find an earring I had been missing!

Every time I get invested in a fandom I’m drawn in by a cute, canon-ish, safe-ish ship, only to wander away into the darkness in favor of something deeply unpopular or completely unhinged.

#yes I am working on a Franziska/Gumshoe fic don’t look at me #I am also thinking about Aelfric/F!Byleth #it has such a Gothic/capital-R-Romantic flavor to it #I couldn’t find a single fic on Ao3 #I might be alone on this ship

He got caught looking at Flayn for .03 seconds too long.

is this too niche? probably. did I spend WAY too long making this stupid meme? Definitely.

#this made me cackle #I knew it immediately #there is nothing too niche for Tumblrdotcom #I am oft pleased by the intersections of things I love here

Hear me out:

FE9 AU about Daein (and Talrega in particular) but make it southern Appalachian. Shiharam is a moonshiner and Haar is his rumrunner. Ike’s army are the Feds. And since it’s rural Appalachia back in the day no one is questioning Haar’s interest in his boss’s debatably underage daughter Jill.

#fire emblem #okay so I watched Thunder Road #is it wrong to want Haar played by Robert Mitchum #something about the jawline idk #this is all so cursed #AU that appeals to me and literally no one else

Today I bought a vintage bishop’s cassock from a drag queen’s estate sale.

#very normal activity #my car is full of strange and wondrous things #including a sequined ball gown #WWII nurse’s uniform #a pith helmet #so many 60s floral fascinators #a fox fur #very normal stuff yes #did I need any of it?#absolutely not #but this is the fun of having adult money and living alone #you can bring home literally anything #and no one can stop you

#fire emblem #tellius #I snort-laughed #perfect intersection of two nerdy interests #I might not like gwtw but I forever stan Vivien Leigh #and ilyana #hangry gals unite

On the sofa with the cats watching Withnail & I. At this scene I grab both of them and recite along with Richard Griffiths, “And here we are, we three, perhaps the last island of beauty in the world.” Then start cackling wildly and get two sets of airplane ears.

The things these poor creatures put up with.
