🌿 This is a Pinned Post🌿

G’day, I’m Jay (he/him) welcome to the art/writing/book blog. My main is @farm-paws where you can find me talking about dogs and cows and other general shenanigans.

Previous url: hell-river

Fandoms you’ll find on here:

- SAS Rogue Heroes (fics included!)

- Black Sails

- Red Dead Redemption 2 (fics included!)

- Godless

My personal writing projects include:

- Hell River: Fantasy western about losing names, changing skins, coyotes, and family curses.

- Dragon Story: Adventure/fantasy about a war dragon and her crew having to find their way home post crash landing, 1940s themed. It has no real title yet lol

- Dog Story: Gaslamp fantasy about dogs being used to hunt ghosts!

If you like nonfiction (animals, and Australian history), I talk about those on my main. This blog gets some real WW2 stuff on it sometimes. WW2 is my special interest! My interest in SAS:RH is separate from my interest in war history.

Occasionally 18+ in the art sort of sense!

i honestly don't really understand why "some people prefer watching gameplay online rather than playing games themselves" is treated as such a taboo when being a spectator is considered a pretty mundane way to engage with most sports, game shows, reality tv or even just like. chess.

[roadhogsbigbelly]

like the usual arguments are "not everyone can afford video games or have the software to pirate" or "you can be a fan of a game's story, but not it's gameplay" but also some people just have more fun watching other people be really good at starcraft or speedrun super mario 64, i don't think that's a particularly out of the box way to engage with the medium.

"Are you talking about your brother again? You talk about your brother an awful lot."

[writerxwren]

I know this will probably be a hot take but I think this might be my favorite iteration of Mycroft. He's clearly frustrated with Sherlock's shenanigans but I love that you can see his genuine affection for his brother coming through even when he's trying to keep him in line. You can also tell how much his actions are driven by the fear of losing him the way they lost Beatrice. He can't save his little sister so he will do everything, even bend the rules a bit, to save his little brother. And he's not just doing it because he's scared himself, he also wants to spare their mother the pain of potentially losing another child. This "softer" version of him is just an interesting take on the character imo

an awakening of sorts

In The Other Bennet Sister, Dónal Finn's character, Tom Hayward, is in a boat on a lake trying to tell the person he's with that he loves them.

In SAS Rogue Heroes, Dónal Finn's character, Eoin Mcgonigal, is in a boat on a lake trying to tell the person he's with that he loves them.

So … in Young Sherlock, will we get a scene where Dónal Finn's character, James Moriarty, is in a boat on a lake trying to tell the person he's with that he loves them?

Asking for a friend. Me. I'm the friend.

James Moriarty + what to call Sherlock Holmes

Imagine a fluffy unicorn that’s bred for its wool like a sheep- once or twice a year it has to get shorn and the shearer just has to awkwardly flop and position the unicorn around without getting stabbed. Perhaps they cover the horn with a protective pool noodle

Do you see my vision???

[pog-mo-bhlog]

So many "I was born too late" takes are actually "I was born poor" like I'm sure you WOULD have loved whatever historical quirk you're talking about, but sadly you would not have been allowed to do that. You would have died in a coal mine aged 13.
