My Newest Louigan Fic

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Her unseen dance partner's mouth drew close enough for his lips to brush against her jawline, and he made a soft purring sound against her jaw.  She could hear that it was a prelude to actual speech… probably a proposition or maybe an introduction. 

She could also feel his facial hair brush against her skin when he did it, and just like that, the magic spell was instantly broken.  

Louise had never developed an attraction to facial hair.  For the most part she associated it with her father and to completely familial feelings and memories, certainly nothing that would inspire romantic or sexual urges.  Mustaches were for playing ‘Guess the Food Caught in Dad's Stache,’ not for adorning the lips of anyone she might kiss or fantasize about kissing.  Besides, she had a fiancé at home, and it wouldn't be right to let this go any further, would it?

When Louise and Logan reconnect as adults, Logan has grown the goatee he mentioned in It's a Stunterful Life. Louise has never had a thing for facial hair, but...

So, I'm watching the Luc Besson Dracula film for the first time tonight. Right near the beginning, they just had a bunch of horses riding into bear traps one after another. All I could think was how Tina would be horrified and want to have a word with the filmmakers.

i don't think I say it enough these days but the platypus is unquestionably the best animal on earth. no nipples. lays eggs. what has been argued to be the single most painful venemous sting in existence (inb4 the pain index guy didn't test it because 1. he was only doing bugs and 2. the pain has been known to last for years). no stomach, don't need it. delete those genes. use the space for five pairs of sex chromosomes that don't work like the sex chromosomes of literally any other living thing and maybe don't even determine their sex. ability to sense electricity. made scientists angry and confused and excited and have continued doing so to this day. excellent signals for the health of a water ecosystem. cute as FUCK

Prompt #1016

All their kisses so far had been full of anger. Too rough, too desperate. This one was their first kiss that was soft, without urgency.

the most important virtues for the young woman are as follows: time theft, selfishness, orgasms, irreverence to authority, sacrilegious behavior, a questioning mind, and eating regular meals.

CHAPTER UPDATE!

An Inconvenient Arrangement, a medieval Louigan AU

13/25, rated M (chapter count and rating update!)

Chapter 13: Stab First, Questions Later

“Limp.”

He looked at her sideways. “Why?”

“We are trying to pass as beggars, you nitwit. Beggars are malnourished. Sickly. Not primped would-be defecting kings.”

He glared at her, but adopted a rather impressive limp.

“Is it not terribly presumptuous to assume beggars would have defects?”

She glared at him. “Would you shut your hole? We are not theorizing at present, but fleeing for our lives.”

“Just seemed a bit privileged…”

“Do not start with me on privilege!” she hissed. The cheek on this man! “I told the guard to hang back and wait for my signal if they did not arrive to you being slaughtered in the street. It seems they have done so, thank the gods. We don’t need that lot making a scene if we can help it. The last thing we need is a public revolt with your would-be assassins. This is a small group. I am certain of it. Operating in the shadows. But if the whole port witnesses the royal guard involved in a brawl… well… people will use the opportunity to sow further unrest.”

“Does that mean you can’t yell at me?”

Despite herself, she felt the corner of her mouth twitch up. “Do not push your luck, Your Royalness.”

***

Louise and Logan fight their way out of the docks. One of them gets injured. Nefarious plots are further revealed. A friend is dead. And Louise proposes a tidy suggestion.

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

[kineticpenguin]

At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely

[yourunderwaterskies]

technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.

Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.

Free courses on Coursera.

Free Courses on EDx Free Courses on Alison

For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.

When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.

@yourunderwaterskies I wanted to say thank you so much for adding these links, seriously, they've been life-changingly helpful to me-

And I also wanted to mention that humanitarian organisations have free courses too, like the Red Cross on international humanitarian law.

Look for free copies of The Great Courses at your local library.

This is going around again, so I need to add that Prager “University” is not and never was a place of learning. It is a deceptively named far-right propaganda factory that was established to “counterbalance leftism in education” which it mostly manages through lying by omission or just plain lying about objective facts in history and economics.

Your local library still has free copies of The Great Courses. If it doesn’t, ask if it can get them.

This screenshot from a gardening Facebook group has been on my phone for several years and I'm not sure I'm ever going to be able to delete it. Apparently it comes from a British gardening book from the 80s. I know we all joke that the English are afraid of flavor, but I assure you, you are not prepared for this.

GARLIC

Until quite recently, scientists smiled at all the wonderful medicinal powers claimed for garlic, but recent research has shown that there is some truth in a few of the old wives' tales. Garlic, of course, has an important role in Continental but not in British cookery — it really isn't worth growing unless you are a fan.

Any well-drained spot will do. Buy a head of garlic from the greengrocer or supermarket and split it up into individual cloves. Plant them 2 in. deep and 6 in. apart in March. Apart from watering in dry weather there is nothing else to do until the foliage turns yellow in July or August. Lift the bulbs and allow to dry under cover, then store in a cool, frost-free place.

If you are a beginner with garlic, you must use it very sparingly or you will be put off for ever. Rub a wooden salad bowl with a clove before adding the ingredients. Rub the skin of poultry before roasting and then you can try dropping a whole unskinned clove into a casserole or stew, removing it before serving. If by then you have lost a little of your garlic fear, you can try using crushed (not chopped) garlic in meat etc. as the Continentals do.

[shoku-and-awe]

That last paragraph HAUNTS me. How am I supposed to sleep at night picturing Paul Hollywood — sobbing, hands trembling — alone in his kitchen, gingerly rubbing the edges of a salad bowl with a single clove of unskinned garlic, wondering if he will ever be brave enough to do the same to a roast chicken?

Tinimmy Ship Week 2026

Hi everyone! Jimmyjrsmusoems and babsvibes are going to be modding a Tina x Jimmy Jr. ship week this August, and we’d like your help choosin

I'm crossing off another bingo square. Today I'm going to enter these two shawls into the local agri show (which is about as close to a state fare as I'm gonna get). Its my handspun stashbuster shawl and the wings I made @offworld-lamb (she's very kindly let me borrow them for this).

If the judging is anything like the last time* I entered (6+ years ago, I'm pretty sure I was pushing youngest around in The Tank (aka The Big Pram) and regretting every second because we were in a massive tent), I'm not holding out much hope. But on the other hand its the local school's textiles teacher judging it, so who knows?

* The last time I entered, I entered a small amigurumi mermaid. The woman taking the entry said (and I quote), "Are you sure this is crochet?" *Face palm*

(Bingo card, and if I can find a picture of the amigurumi mermaid, under the cut.)

She yearns for the water. 😊

[tinknevertalks]

Got my stamp to get back in (used the sponsor badge to get in in the first instance - boom). Picked up some honey and a scotch egg, and there was a bloke making mats out of baler twine. Judging is at 1230. At least this time they didn't ask if it was crochet. 🫠

But cheeky thing happened. Walking around the various stands, this woman comes up to me and says (in Wenglish), "We're doing diabetes and blood pressure checks in here," pointing to her trailer. Ok, are you asking me because I'm walking by by myself, or because I am obviously overweight? I just said, "I know I'm diabetic! 😊" and walked on. I know with the farming community it's a push to get people to go see the doctor, but seriously?! There were at least two stands doing blood pressure checks. I know my BP is through the roof cause I've just walked to and around the show field (So. Many. Sheep. 😍😍😍). Boo.

Anyways. Quick wander into town to get an end cap for Dad's curtain rail thing, get some treats for the family, and maybe a super quick mental breakdown in the craft shop.

Jaime and Brienne along with other Game of Thrones characters are featured in Patrick Ballester's exclusive San Diego Comic-Con 2026 art "SD Pitt Stop"

The doctor will see you now. If your official Comic-Con diagnosis is a love of pop culture and great art, then Patrick has just the prescription for you. His big exclusive this year, “SD Pitt Stop“, imagines Pittsburgh’s busiest emergency department transplanted straight into San Diego Comic-Con, where the waiting room is overflowing with patients, heroes, villains, monsters, time travelers, and just about every other familiar face you’d expect to find roaming the convention (or emergency) floor.
