wants no part in this idiotic game

Mostly Les Misérables, but also the Hobbit/LotR, The Almighty Johnsons, Being Human, Poldark, various Ancient Greeks and In The Flesh

What [car] would you build a time machine out of?

an old VW Beetle because it wouldn't look out of place literally anywhere

[aokozaki]

Lancelot: Egad sire! Look at that. King Arthur: Hm, rare to see a VW Beetle this far north. Not impossible, mind.

Well, well, well. If it isn't the consequences of someone else's actions that I am directly impacted and severely affected by

10 People I'd Like to Get to Know Better

LAST SONG

I only really listen to music in the car, but I think the last song on was Touch and Go by Colcannon.

CURRENTLY WATCHING

Nothing currently, other than rewatching things like Rogue Heroes and Hornblower. Unless the current series of Who Do You Think You Are? counts, which I suppose it does.

CURRENTLY READING

Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett. My husband has introduced me to the Discworld books this year and I am slowly making my way through them. My interest in reading took a real hit after uni and I'm still trying to build that love back up again - fortunately, the Discworld books are very engaging.

CURRENT OBSESSION

Bill Fraser, of course. When am I not thinking about Bill? 😂 But also boats, and Hornblower, and Archie...

CURRENTLY WORKING ON

My next Bill x Augustin fic, which is currently over 30k words and Augustin has yet to appear... I'm enjoying myself though, I've never written so many words before for a fic, and there is a lot of plot to make it through.

I've also really gotten into embroidery recently but I'm not all that practiced at it, so after abandoning a kit I bought myself which was way too fiddly, I've started on one someone bought me which is a super cute owl!

CURRENTLY WEARING

A pair of sand-coloured shorts I got from Primark a few years ago (they’re the same colour as the uniforms in Rogue Heroes series 1) and a plain dark brown t-shirt from Next. I'm keeping it simple because it's so hot 😭

LAST GOOGLE SEARCH

yard vs yardarm

Just checking something for a fic... 😂 Turns out the yardarm is just a part of a yard, not a whole separate piece.

FAVOURITE FLOWER

I do love a classic rose, but I'm really into dahlias at the moment.

I'm not sure I have 10 people to tag so this is for anyone who sees it and wants to have a go!

Watching Hornblower after emerging from the Sharpe TV series obsession is crazy, because Hornblower is so gentle and unsure of himself? I'm twenty minutes into the first movie and with all the stuff happening Sharpe would have already stabbed Simpson in the eye for attempting to eat his dinner, decked him if he attempted to make Sharpe dance and the dialogue about death would go like: "What are you thinking about?" "Death." "Whose death?" "Simpson's."

But since I've only watched the Sharpe movies, I wondered what Sharpe in his younger years was like, so I've started reading Sharpe's Tiger. Apparently the bastard marched into his first real battle not having any fcking clue what he was doing but radiating enough confidence to make one of the officers feel more at ease about the upcoming fight. Sharpe and Hornblower are at the opposite ends of the "crazy bastard" spectrum.

Sean Bean had to die in so many films because he used up all his lives in Sharpe's Fortress specifically

WIP Wednesday (yes, I have just realised it is Thursday...)

Share your last sentence or a plot idea!

Thank you @bobparkhurst! Have some entirely out of context Rogue Heroes fic ft. Bill Fraser as always...

Bill supposed it made it easier to pretend that he had survived if they had never found his body, but would anyone really believe that several days later, he had simply washed up alive in the harbour and found his way back to the castle?

tagging anyone who sees this and wants to join in because I'm not sure who has and hasn't been tagged, also, it is no longer Wednesday...

competent, but no desire to talk or brag about it
