hello! I'm zahli, welcome to my cave. currently on the walls is: uh. too much hockey boys (heated rivalry), some wolves (green creek), excited vibrations about the whole Trailhead series by @landrybrennan (go read Margins! and then take a deep breath ready for TIO), but you'll find other nonsense too. i will not apologise for occasional Destiel posting.
currently: #in my knitting era
here's some stuff i've #finished!
Tags
i try to be somewhat organised but i promise nothing
fandom tags all look like this: #in my 911 era , #in my rebel kings mc era and are pretty much the only tags i religiously use
#911 spoilers for stuff released ahead of episodes, episode tags e.g. #911 6x08 for a few days after an episode airs, but then I get pretty lazy about it. not a spoiler free zone, but not not a spoiler free zone, y'know?
for fandoms that i'm more casual in, i tend to use the spoilers tag for the first day or so of an episode airing instead, because i'm not generally looking at pre-episode stuff. yes this is inconsistent. sorry?
sometimes i #live blog
recs are all #fic rec and then pairing and fandom and length tags - you can throw them in the search bar or shove them in the url like this: https://zahlibeth.tumblr.com/search/rec+buddie+length: 0 to 7k
queue tags are #and breathe for relaxing stuff (ymmv!), #animals are delightful and #people are delightful. sometimes I tag this shit outside of queue hours too you're not my mum
#ah for when I have been viciously Seen by something
also yes i talk obsessively in the tags i Do Not Trust people who reblog only i want to know all your little thoughts!!!
u may have three facts about me: she/her is close enough, mid-30s, british
everything else you're gonna have to go spelunking for
honestly I hate “can you pet the dog?!?” not for any of the common reasons but because it was initially interesting as a proposition of “can you interact with the world in a way that is not within the primary mechanical loop” and that very quickly fell away to being “well now any indie developer making a game has to have a pet the dog button or they’re going to get letters”
One of my dream projects has an NPC with a dog, and if you try to pet it, the owner tells you not to do that. If you try again, it bites you and you take damage. I want to do this entirely because I genuinely believe that this would make me feel way more grounded in the world than any “click button to see cute animation” would ever do, and also it would be really funny to have a game where people lose their runs because they tried to pet a dog they were told not to pet
hilarious to me when i have a mutual for a long time but i dont know their name or nationality or age like that's my friend!!! my very good friend! who's. well. they're cool and they like the thing. you know.
just tried to reference the xkcd "today's lucky 10,000" comic but I wanted to explain xkcd first, so I was like "you probably know the one about experts in the field overestimating their audience's familiarity with the subject matter" and uh. he didn't. love me some irony
Local Ballard raccoon has been spotted thriving in a remarkably unique and charming body
Yes he(?)'s actually factually real and has even been given an extremely millennial nickname: Jimothy. Wildlife experts advise everyone to just leave him alone and let him live his life
jack abbot/michael "robby" robinavitch - chapter 1 of ?
this premise brought to you by real life events fully setting themselves up like a fanfiction premise.
“Decision’s already made, brother. There’s no way you can go home alone right now—you can’t use either of your hands.”
“You’d discharge me on my own right now if you didn’t know me.”
“I do know you, though,” Jack says, waving off Robby’s argument. “And good thing for you that I also know someone willing to help you out. Real swell guy.”
“Jack.”
“Brother, you think you can get your house keys out of your pocket? Undo your belt? Get yourself a glass of water?”
Robby grunts. “I’d make do.”
“I know you would,” Jack tells him. “But you don’t have to. You’ve got me.”
A 19 year old princess offended a fairy. The fairy (who underestimated the age of the princess) cursed the princess to die on her 18th birthday. Her next 18th birthday is … never
Thinking about the whole "there is no platonic explanation for this" thing and how it doesn't account for intense platonic situationships and anyways I think we should start saying "there is no casual explanation for this" bc really what we're talking about is the way the characters in question are Obsessed with each other
i dont think its a "sin" to "destroy and betray yourself for nothing" because there's no such thing as sin, there's no such thing as yourself and there's no such thing as nothing. and destruction and betrayal are subjective. you're most likely totally fine.
