i'm quite familiar with sappho's surviving poetry

what am i here for if not to be used by good people for good things

[sapphoshands]

i have had a small influx of followers due to my descent into more queer witch bullshit soooo i thought i probably ought to say hi? hi! i am so delighted to have people join me as i become 90% agatha thoughts by volume, and to have people engaging with my meta and fic (including COMMENTS, YAY) is always a joy. so hi and thanks!

i don't automatically follow back because (although i know it's currently hard to believe) i do TRY to limit my tumblr time. ha. hahahaaaaa. yeah. i try to stay fairly responsive in asks or messages, but i have a job, a gym habit, and a lot of fic to write. so. it's not you, it's me. i am somewhat more likely to eventually follow back if we get to chatting, if we have mutuals in common, or if i am being capricious.

i tag agatha spoilers for about 48 hours, but i do aim to tag the show consistently on all posts. my other main fandom is wheel of time (and if you like agatha but haven't tried wot, MAY I RECOMMEND. more queer milf witches!) and i float through other stories about women as they come to me.

fic is under the fic tag or on ao3. only two three a few agatha fics so far but definitely more to come. i always love comments, questions, screaming, critical engagement, whatever. i also welcome podfic, art, works inspired by, etc in accordance with my fanworks policy.

down the road, witches!

sometimes my Beloved Mutuals will rb a post about a certain character archetype and i will have to physically restrain myself from saying “yeah you would say that wouldn’t you”

[gumy-shark]

jasper you don’t get to get away with this that easily.

new ask game: what’s the character archetype that makes you go “of course you would say that” when i post about it?

[luna-azzurra]

The most interesting question you can ask about any character is not what do they want. it's what do they believe they deserve. because those two things are almost never the same and the gap between them is where your entire story lives. a person can want love completely and believe they don't deserve it and that belief will destroy every good thing that comes toward them in ways they won't even notice they're doing. write the gap. the gap is the character.

Happy Pride!

[rootbeergoddess]

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[lierdumoa]

Every time an author reassures readers that the smut is skippable I sigh a disappointed sigh. This is not a reassurance. Why would anybody who likes smut want to read smut that was only included as an afterthought and has no impact on the narrative? Insulting. Just don't write it at all if you're not going to make it matter.

[sapphoshands]

Do you know who is broadcasting Tempo games? And why we never get to hear their announcers on League Pass?

i don't, sorry - i shamefully have yet to watch a single game myself D:

[its-a-seikret]

Tbh I don't understand anyone who denies their favorite character's flaws and acts like they've never done anything wrong when that is like consistently the most interesting part of any character ever

[sergeifyodorov]

I don't read as much fic as I used to but one "tell" for non Canadians writing us, besides the etransfer, is the units you use to describe us measuring something. I hate to tell you this but The Chart is real and it's completely subconscious. Please abide

[demotu-writes]

ETA the chart (or at least a version of it):

ETA2: we do use inches/miles in poetic ways ("he was lost in thought/miles away" or "his lips were a bare inch away").

Also, the length of a dick is in inches for SURE.

Catherine Dubois: I didn't even know that I was making my coming out. I just sat down at the table, my sister-in-law was there, and I was a little afraid of my mother because my mother is perfect. But, she had five children, her children that's precious.

We get to it, I said, Maman, I have something to tell you. She said, what is it, Catherine?

I said, no, sit yourself down. I said, Maman, I think that maybe I like girls.

She started to laugh. The last reaction that you think your mother is going to have, the biggest laugh. I think that I've never said anything that made her laugh that much.

Imagine it, your mother laughing right in your face then you, you're traumatised. After that, I was so stressed.

My sister-in-law, come on, Danielle, it's true. She's telling the truth.

My mother said, no, Marie, come onnn.

She left, she went to tell my father. I think to myself, ok.

I receive a call, it's my father. I'm shaking, I say to myself, yes.

Host: He's calling you.

CD: Yes, he's calling me. My father says that so long as it doesn't affect hockey, it doesn't bother him. He said that word for word.

Host: That's really cute.

CD: I must not miss practice tomorrow morning because of a girl.

My two older brothers were like, well, yeah we get it.

Hyderabad is not just my origin; it is a language, a rhythm, a way of being. Through this look, I aspired to translate that sensibility into a form that could exist effortlessly on a global stage while remaining deeply rooted in the South Indian imagination.

The Tree of Life, envisioned by Manish Malhotra in collaboration with Mariel Haenn, becomes the central metaphor an unfolding of time, memory and continuity. Drawing from the storytelling traditions of Kalamkari, it is reinterpreted here as something sculptural and alive, where every thread holds a fragment of history. This ensemble is not about nostalgia, it is about evolution. A 3,000-year-old textile tradition is recontextualized through form, texture, and movement: sculpted velvet, antique gold zari, and intricate zardozi come together to create something both archival and immediate. The motifs Palapitta, Jammi Chettu, Kalpavriksha, Tangedu, Surya, Chandra, Kalpa are not merely decorative; they are markers of identity, fragments of home that travel with me. What moves me most is the human touch behind it all. Thousands of hours, countless hands, generations of knowledge woven, embroidered and shaped into a single moment. For me, this is what costume art can be: not just adornment, but a living archive. A way of carrying heritage forward not as something fixed, but as something that continues to grow, transform, and speak. Tonight, I arrive not just wearing a story, but continuing one.

The art lives in the tradition. Handcrafted through zardozi, marodi, resham, and intricate metalwork. Rooted in South Indian heritage, the Tree of Life tells the story, with the peacock India’s national bird as its guardian.
