I'm sorry, *who* stars as Mary Poppins???

My year in movies; one movie for each month of 2025 ✨

Well well. Falling in love with @kjcharleswriter.com 's books certainly wasn't on my bingo card this year but here we are. (However, as Jerry Crozier once said: I'm not sorry) Looking forward to reading so many more in 2026!

That peanut worm is a little too exciting for me you got anything else?

—I’ve been asked to baptise the King of Spain’s daughter —Infanta? —No, holy water as usual. Weird thing to ask honestly

For the second time in a few weeks, I've spoken Gaelic in my dreams. Which is kinda cool. What's baffling is that in the 15 or so years I've been using/exposed to English DAILY I've not a single memory of ever having dreamt in English

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

Love living alone generally but you know what I HATE? When I'm comfy at home and I don't wanna move but I can feel myself starting to spiral and just, yknow, *know* that I'm on the brink of a bad mental health spell and I gotta make myself move because there's no one to talk to or help me through it

last night, I dreamt I was at my grandpa's house and a crow kept asking me to throw it an apple so it could catch it exactly like dogs do with balls. Wtf was that about?? I was really happy to do it, too, and legit grew attached to that crow. Where's my pet crow now??

Heard y’all wanted more Princess & the Grilled Cheese, well… We’re cooking up some DESSERTS this time ihihi✨👀💖

Hey, if you like queer romance or historical fiction or gorgeous prose or fundamentally good but broken people suffering beautifully, achieving catharsis, growing as humans, and having hot sex, @kjcharleswriter.com is your jam. Just sayin'.

Only one scene left to write in this chapter!!! Y'all!!!! I've been working on this chapter alone for FIVE MONTHS! oh my god!!!!

Thoughts on freakier friday: I feel like the way the characters are portrayed is ridiculous. Lily, at the beginning of the movie, is presented as an intelligent, creative and (it's implied, I think) ambitious young woman but as soon as she finds herself in Tess's body, -

Going from Haymarket to Grassmarket today like, what am I? A horse?

It's tomorrow if you can even believe it!!!!

Waited on an American customer today at work and she was so sweet and so nice! I'm obsessed with her. I hope she has a very nice life ✨❤️

Being a baby ace is wild 'cause sometimes I will read scenes like this one and I'll be like, "oh come on, was that really necessary? Is it even realistic?? I mean, who would react like that in real life?" And then I remember.

Was just prepping one of my student groups for a performance this afternoon, and suggested that anyone who tends to get nervous for concerts should grab a banana at lunch. My first violinist, puzzled: "Like, just to hold onto? Or...?"

Work is a bit intense lately and I really need a break so I'm taking a self-care day which involves ignoring the things I'm supposed to do, rewatching a beloved romcom, a blanket, and a cup of tea 😌❤️✨

Nothing like a shit movie to put me in a shit mood. I just can't wait to go to bed and cuddle up with my babies* ugh *fictional characters from my book

I just finished booking rooms for my trip to Scotland in September 🎉 I'm so excited!

Listening to city of stars, thinking back to that time I wrote on Facebook - with a whole straight face, mind you - "I can't tell if I've a bigger crush on Ryan Gosling or Emma Stone!!" after having watched Gangster Squad and STILL had no idea I was queer 🙃 (It's on Emma Stone btw)

I'm nearly halfway through when the tides held the moon and listen, it just occurred to me that Eli and Emmett are EACH OTHER'S OTHER HALF IN AND OUT OF THE SHOW. I'm obsessed. Well played, @venessakelley.bsky.social well played. I take my hat off to your genius.

Anyone else checking the weather app every hour like it's somehow going to magically make it less hot out there or is it just me?

I watched the movie lilies not for me today and here's the thing: I can't stop thinking about it. The cinematography and aesthetic were flawless and Fionn O'Shea's performance was excellent but God! It was horrific! Thinking it's based on actual, historical events absolutely sickens me.

Spent the last hour watching videos of Tom Lehrer on youtube and I just *know* I'm going to fall down the rabbit hole like, tomorrow when it's not 0:30 Ah well 🤷‍♀️

There was ZERO need for this paragraph about the power of slow consistent habit formation to be this sexy. I now ship the tectonic plates.

Four years later, I watched the series Leonardo at last. It was a highly fictionalised account of Leonardo da Vinci's life. I was dubious at first but found it entertaining enough in the end. I'm not sure Aidan Turner was entirely right for the role but god, he's so pretty I'd forgive him anything

I've *finally* written the scene that has been living in my mind rent free for a year and a half and god, does that feel good!! I feel like I've reached a huge milestone in my story ❤️❤️❤️

Ok it's 7:17 in the morning but I think I saw a major doctor who spoiler and I have to go and make sure what I think happened did not actually happen RIGHT NOW (but I'm afraid it has 😔)

Baby's going back to Scotland in September 🥰🥰🥰

Met two of my writing goals today 🥰

I am very sincerely wishing writing fiction was as easy as journaling. I would be unstoppable if I could write fiction the way I pour my thoughts on paper! (And also, possibly, super obnoxious)

oh my god so much happened in the space eurovision episode of doctor who and I expected: - none of it

I've found an article listing terms of endearment through the ages and I very might well be in heaven! Not only is it super useful but it's also extremely interesting!

I finally managed to rewrite the scene that didn't feel right to me in a way that I find much more engaging! Took me 6 hours but I did and I am *so* relieved!!!! 🙏 (Of course I'm not done with the chapter. I still have 10 pages or so to edit rip)

God, this chapter is giving me so much work (and sooo many doubts!) I swear I'm not editing anymore at this point. I'm just rewriting.

Turns out I can't watch a Jack Black movie without thinking about this anymore

⚠️ SLIGHT DOCTOR WHO SPOILER ⚠️ loved that the sad man with a box from season 5 is playing during the scene with the fans. It's such a nice touch, like it's another souvenir from past seasons among the ones that are more obvious

it's cool we're getting another p&p adaptation but actually can we have a new jane eyre adaptation that's actually faithful to the book instead please and thank you? (bonus points if the music is written by bear mccreary because that would just be really cool)

A few weeks ago, I introduced my sister to the ghost and mrs muir (1947) & she later told me that it had been living in her mind rent free ever since we watched it; I've never more happy or proud 🥲 It's possibly my favourite movie and it is a masterpiece and doesn't deserve any less of a reaction ❤️

Just watched the assessment. I live for new Alicia Vikander's movies. This world doesn't deserve her

Yessss doctor who let's goooo!! I finished rewatching the first season this morning I'm SO HYPED!!!

I've decided to sell my Penny Dreadful DVDs but it made me want to rewatch it, actually! It truly was a first-rate show and, years later, I'm *still* not over how grandiose Eva Green was in this role

more post-canon scars #arcane

Obsessed with all of Eric's outfits in sex education. I mean look at him! 🤌
