[ID: Eight screencaps from Taskmaster. The studio screen shows a Triple Word Score square from a Scrabble board, as Victoria Coren Mitchell says, “It’s the most awesome square in board-gaming. Some would say, ‘What about the eighth square of a chess board, where the pawn becomes a queen? That represents social mobility.’ I say, ‘No.’ This is a square that trebles the points. It’s red. It physically resembles the second most awesome square, Mr Strong - from the Mr Men. He’s the most awesome of the Mr Men. Not the sexiest. That would be Mr Messy after he’s had the blow dry.” End ID.]

0.99 book sale

*shuffles up to the mic*

i’m having a book sale atm and i couldn’t not mention it on here - it is only right and proper that all the tumblr friends should get discount books, after all. you’ve put up with my fic for a long time and, really, when you think about it, it’s all your fault anyway.

here’s what you need to know about the book:

gay romance between two childhood friends who live on separate continents

it’s vacation time like twice over so pool sex

one of them is a bit of dick

(but also so is the other if you look closely)

secret diary

Welsh characters

short (30k words) but sweet (with lots of dirty words/thoughts/actions)

totally standalone

it will be 99cents/pence for those of you living in the US or UK (you can blame amazon for that restriction btw, idk why they make it so) - usually it’s 2.99 or free to borrow in kindle unlimited.

i think that’s everything?

thanks for listening, you can now carry on with your day x

Attention, readers!!! Do you love quirky, fresh, contemporary queer romances? If so, I urge you to check out @weconqueratdawn’s (Lou Skelton’s) books! Number 2, which I’ve finally laid my hands on, is out now, and I’m dying to dive in! It’s a sweet, funny, often poignant - and VERY HOT - story of two childhood friends who reconnect on a family holiday and then find themselves having to negotiate a long-distance romance. Sound good? Here’s the link to get your own copy, either on Kindle or in paperback: mybook.to/TheBookOfElis

if a terf even looks at this they will die in seven days just to clarify

[tethered-heartstrings]

thinking about that one twotl reel where you can see hugh semi-aggressively move mads' hand up his waist and into frame like "show them you are GrAbBiNg me damnit. that you WANT ME. need me." you cannot tell me they wouldn't have kissed passionately and with tongue if asked you cannot convince me otherwise. they were already thinking it

torchwood was like one third tacky camera zooms and one third homosexuality and one third the most terrifying and fucked up implications ive ever seen in sci-fi

what if there was a pterodactyl in the secret underground base? what if tosh had gay sex with an alien? what if owen died and came back wrong and now he's fully conscious but his body cant heal so he has to feel himself decay while his friends grieve his death?

Well, you know, some bathroom graffiti offers insight.

[madfishmonger]

Red marker handwriting on a bathroom wall. Text reads:

“Boss made a dollar Granddad made a dime But that was a poem From a simpler time.

Boss made a thousand Gave pa a cent But that penny paid the mortgage Or at least it paid the rent

Now Boss makes a million And gives us jack Smugly blames the workers For the labor that he lacks.”

Sometimes I really feel like I’m the only one watching the war in Ukraine. Like I really truly feel like mainstream media saw Ukrainians maintain a hold on Kyiv and called the war won. It isn’t over, it isn’t over, it isn’t over. My host brother is still missing, I fear that he’s been forced to fight for Russia. My friends are still fighting on the front lines to protect their homes and their families.

This war isn’t over, it won’t be over until Donbas and Crimea and Mariupol and Kherson and Kharkiv are liberated and rebuilt. This war isn’t over until all the people being shipped off to Russia to be brainwashed into denying their Ukrainian heritage are returned home. This war will not be over until teachers are free to resume teaching in their native tongue. This war isn’t over until Russian leaders are held accountable for their baseless horrific war. This war is not over and I need to scream about it.

Моя гарна Україна, мій друзі, моя сім’я. Я не забуваю. Я бачу тебе. Ти така гарна і відванна знаеш чому? бо ти українка. 🇺🇦💙💛🌻
