darlingdiver replied to your photo “Frocktober Day 3: This outfit is a riot of color, and I got an...”

OHHHH, I eyed this dress on Modcloth for a long time. I missed the sale!

I was sort of miffed after they got bought by Jet, which is owned by Walmart, so I didn’t buy anything for months and months. Then they sent me a 40% off coupon, which applied to things already on sale, so I caved. However, I do feel that being in the size range I am, I have to keep my (limited) options open. And they’ve expanded their plus offerings, if anything. 

The dress IS cute, cotton, has pockets, but is a leetle short on me (would probably be perf on you, as I know you’re more petite than me.) But I see there’s only a couple sizes left . . .

To be fair - I wish Kate had been on "Wild Weekend with Bear" because it is overall more entertaining/candid than NBC's "Running Wild with Bear". I think it has to do with editing more than anything. Also wildly entertaining though are the Channing Tatum and Zac Efron episodes of Running Wild (I never expected to type that and yet those two+Kate were the absolute best of last season and SO funny).

I’ve found a few clips online (the tampon fire is priceless!), but I’ll have to set my DVR up to try and catch old episodes. Hulu doesn’t even have them! :/

That gif set is from "Moana" which is the new Pixar movie due out in Nov of this year. I frequently have to go back to the original posters to figure out what fandoms gif sets are from - I feel your pain.

I know, right? I constantly have to chase down fandoms for lovely or interesting stuff I see on tumblr...

Anyway, this Moana movie looks amazing. Thanks for the info! :)

MMFD 1930s AU: #5 + #15

5: What part was hardest to write? 

Ummmm … since it’s not finished, I’d say the ENDING. Really, each chapter was harder and harder to write, because I began to move away from the skeletal outline we started, and found I had more to say about both Rae and Finn. It’s a very interior piece; they are changing even more than the characters in the show.

15: What did you learn from writing this fic? 

I learned not to bite off more than I can chew! *laughs hysterically* It was an interesting experience to write with someone else for the first six chapters. It was like getting surprised and writing in reaction to what you had read (at least for me). I learned that I can write period drama! (But that it takes way more effort and research.) And I learned (again) how lovely our little fandom can be, with the fan art and edits and comments I’ve gotten on it. Just thinking about it makes my heart swell a bit. Or a lot. 

What I really need to do is re-read the whole thing, check my notes, and finish it. I think I could do it a few more chapters. I still connect to this story, but I think I’ve overthought it and basically I’m afraid that no matter what I do it won’t live up to mine and others’ expectations. (But the more time goes by, people are just forgetting it, so I should GET OVER IT.)

Wanted to give some love for the Philly experience you wrote about - thank you for sharing it! It's such a great testimony to how characters/actors can inspire us, which then turns into an opportunity to appreciate ourselves in a new way. When you get down to it in talking to people in the industry - that's really a big part of why they do what they do. Your cosplay is on point and I adore that they had a chance to really appreciate it! Cheers!

I really dont think i’ll ever be able to actually state just how much Hayley/ Peggy Chris/ Steve has helped me grow as a person. I just hope if i get another chance, next time I meet them I can actually properly thank them 

Thank you too for your kind words about my cosplay!

Hi! I love your modern day adventure Steggy series. The latest edition (Peg asking Steve to buy milk) is fantastic! It's inspired me to write a little something called "Extraction and Groceries", but I wanted to check-in with you before I did that since it would be based on your gif set and make sure that it wouldn't mind or it wouldn't conflict with anything you're working on (I'd like to link to it in the fic post). Thanks for your feedback!

OMG that is so amazing!!! I’m always so happy when people are inspired with my edits :) Go for it! I don’t mind at all and I’m not working on anything connected to it. Please send me a link when you post it, I’d love to read it.

Your tags have convinced me to give "Please Like Me" a shot - I will report back.

I’m VERY PLEASED to hear it!!!

bubble tea: what ride would you pick at an amusement park?

I literally just had a conversation with someone about my actual *crippling* fear of Funfairs. I mean this fear is pretty bad like when I even see rides my stomach drops so much. This cross over into amusement parks, I have been to Disneyland: Paris and I really didn’t like. There is a picture of me somewhere on Bebo (remember that?) of just looking really sad, sitting on curb in Disneyland it was actually pretty funny.
