how is your spinning journey going? ☀️ I haven't seen you mention Lyyti in a while (though it's very possible I just missed it!)
augh, it's just embarrassing. I didn't end up learning spinning this year, mostly because life got crazy fast and then didn't slow down... 🥲
But Lyyti is being all gorgeous in my living room and she will go on a spinning wheel maintenance adventure with a friend soon! I WILL LEARN SPINNING! at some point... thank you for sending this ask! it will fuel my determination 🙏
Hawkeye or Mulcahy of MASH fame (which ever is easier for u), and/or Jean Valjean and Javert of silver-stealing/canal-jumping fame (maybe??? idk i haven't read the brick). oh and maybe Persephone from Hadestown if you feel like it
Ohhhh so many thank you ❤❤
I am going to try do these all but just a reminder that my knowledge about MASH is still super limited!! But I'll try.
Why I would NOT date...
*
Hawkeye
- I would have hard time keeping up with him. I am also fairly certain he is already in love with Trapper, so.
*
Father Mulcahy
- Ohhh this is a hard one because I think we'd be a very nice couple who gifts jars of pickles for our friends and neighbours. But I think that we would never date because if we had a crush on each other, neither of us would have the courage to admit it and we'd mutually pine for eternity.
*
Jean Valjean
- We would not date because if I was to ask him out on a date, he would moan about not deserving good things in this life and then he'd retire to his Shame Hut to eat stale bread.
*
Javert
- I already said I wouldn't date another character because they are too tough on crime, imagine me turning around and dating the official tough on crime icon.... Anyway, our values would be too different, also he would want nothing to do with a harlot like me. But even if this was an au version of Javert where he doesn't jump of a bridge when he learns about shades of gray, I would not date him because I actually like to have fun every once in a while and you can not have fun with someone whose idea of a good time includes reading even though you hate reading and enjoying a pinch of snuff.
*
Persephone
- Ohhhh my god(des heh heh) she would eat me alive. Well. Maybe I would like to date her, but I would be constantly worried because she is so outgoing and I would be worried something happened to her. So I would not date her because of that.
*
Send me a character and I will tell you why I would NOT date them
hi, I was wondering if you'd feel like doing 19 or 21 from the prompt list? I love these little fics you've been writing so much, so please don't restrain yourself on the length if inspiration strikes, you could write three million words and I'd still wish for more aldjslfdndkfdl
hi!! lets see what we can do thank u so much for being so nice and precious ❤
send me a mini fic prompt !!
21: things you said when we were on top of the world
Few things in life, I have realized, compare to the high of being on a case with my good friend Sherlock Holmes. Witnessing his great gift, and watching as he almost effortlessly weaved the tapestry of particulars of a case before our very eyes, was an experience like nothing else, and the adventures and misadventures assembling each of these particulars was the highlight of my years with him. However, even better than helping him solve a great case was the time directly after it, when my dear Holmes absolutely glittered with triumph, and was in such high spirits that it made him feel untouchable. By sheer virtue of being by his side, I too was buoyed in my spirits.
That afternoon was one such instance, as Holmes had solved the theft of some potentially scandalous and disastrous letters. We had found the culprit just as he was about to board a transatlantic ship, but my revolver’s aim hadn’t failed me yet, and we were able to bring the man to justice before he was out of reach. Together, we had brought the man back to Lestrade and Scotland Yard, leaving us free to spend the rest of the evening celebrating our success. These were still our early days, which meant the reward money was enough to buy us a rare and special dinner at Romano’s, as well as tickets to a show later.
Holmes’ eyes shone as he recounted yet again the case we had just closed, and he dramatized the way in which my bullet grazing the suspect’s arm and allowed us to take him into custody. He was talkative, like this, on the high of using his talents to bring a problem to fruition. All night he had been glowing and at his most charming, and I could not take my eyes off him. This, his enthusiasm while narrating my participation, and the wine he had requested specifically to pair with our meal had worked to turn my cheeks positively rosy.
“You know, Watson, there is no one I would rather have by my side in such a moment. Your cooperation today was most valuable.”
“Thank you, Holmes,” said I, more touched than I could convey at the time. My friend was not one to dole out praise unless its subject was very worthy, and so those small words were much treasured. “It was a pleasure to be by your side, throughout.”
As if he could hear my thoughts - and I have no doubt that somehow, sometimes, he could - my friend merely smiled genially, and rose his glass to touch it to mine, which was still at my lips. “To you, my trusted partner.”
but since corona is a virus, won’t anything “anti bacterial” be basically useless against it?? and doesn’t normal soap do the job just nicely anyway?
hand sanitiser is effective against coronavirus (some good info on it here) and it’s good to have for when washing your hands with soap & water isn’t an option. the quantities people are buying it in are. absurd however.
& as I said before! are making it difficult for people who work in jobs where they actually need it to get enough! so stop stockpiling it alsghkdghk
Pass the happy!🌻🌈When you receive this, list 5 things that make you happy and send this to 10 of the last people in your notifications.
I got wordy as ever but here goes…
1) My husband. Being home with him for three weeks straight after four months mostly apart because I was taking care of my mother before and after her surgery made me just… overflow with happiness. Going to the grocery store or cleaning bathrooms or playing the same card game for the fifth time in a weekend can be exquisite if it’s together with one’s favourite person.
2) Writing. I’m struggling a bit with my current WIPs (a little Russingon thing and the next Lothíriel fic) but on the whole writing makes me very happy.
3) Happy! (my mother’s dog who I’ve also been taking care of a lot) He’s 9 months old now and becoming a very nice dog. He has learnt to chill in most situations and to behave better. He even treated with patience and tolerance a very badly behaved younger, smaller puppy. (My cousin’s Pomeranian-Chihuhua mix who yapped at Happy the whole time, and hung on to his long ruff, and even tried humping Happy’s head… as you can see below.)
4) Spring, and it’s on its way here now :)
5) Lord of the Rings LCG. That’s the card game I mentioned above. Husband and I have had the core set and many expansions for years and we recently started playing it again and bought many new expansions. It’s a great shared pastime and Tolkien-themed, too :D
Would it be okay if I were to use one of your drawings as a lockscreen on my phone? I love all your art (especially the moomin art 💞💞) and I'd love to put it on my lockscreen or homescreen but ofc I won't do it if you're not okay with it!!
Of course!! Thank you for asking and for your kind words! :**
