yessss, after 15 years on AO3 i finally have the first (only!) work in a fandom! XD archiveofourown.org/tags/The%20J...

archiveofourown.org/works/83313971 Night Manager slash

'farage jumpscare' today because reform hide their election material in envelopes and i foolishly thought it might be something worth opening, only to get that cunt's face staring at me :(

here is my hottest fandom take: the huge increase in epic length fics (100k+ words) and the demand for them, as well as the increase wordcount in 'short' fics is not *despite* poor attention spans and low literacy, it's *because* of those. longer unedited texts have more repetition and filler

Genuinely cannot recommend this enough if you find yourself caring more about AO3 stats than you want to care. (I think having stats easily visible on AO3 was a bad idea anyway, and don’t get me started on the ‘congrats to my fic on its first [x thousand] hits/kudos!’ post thing people do now.)

so proud to have made the youtube algorithm overestimate my nerdiness levels to this degree 😊

it's fucking snowing!!

archiveofourown.org/works/81972971 Finished watching Tinker, Tailor, Etc and Smiley's People so here is a wee bit of G-rated George/Karla in which I have fucked about with future tense and 2nd person POV and censorship levels that would shame even a TikTok poster.

someone has complained that my crackfic does not present an accurate record of events in the marvel cinematic universe

archiveofourown.org/works/81473291 Pls enjoy this documentary following Loki's failed 2012 invasion of Earth.

happy 'slf play the barras' day to everyone who celebrates it

Protegee (Missy tutors Jamie Moriarty) Forget-Me-Not (Frigga mindwipes her son) A Wild Variant Appears (Pikachu the Thor variant) Her Molten Core (Earth/Theia babyfic) honey in the trap (baby's first night manager fic) archiveofourown.org/users/teh_no... <- all here somewhere (if you even care)

oh aye another thing that happened is i put fics that are by me on my own ao3 account instead of all over the place, which makes life easier for everyone. There's maybe something in there you haven't read that you might want to. If you like. archiveofourown.org/users/teh_no...

dreamed i had a pet creature of some kind. i think it was a guinea pig.

Very good photo from the BBC News livestream on the Glasgow fire

i'm no sayin central's NOT a nice building, i just think had it burned down fire last night the main concern would be the fact that it's the busiest station in scotland, one end of the uk west coast line, and even if it's just shut for a few days the disruption's massive. people huv tae get places!

Gonny say this as a friendly FYI… the Victorian building that collapsed is NOT the railway station, that seems ok so far. But if you want to use a devastating fire and my city’s pain as an excuse to be racist then get absolutely tae fuck. Keep Glasgow out of your rotten mouth and piss off.

The current view along Renfield Street. It seems like the flames have been quelled, although I'd really love to have it confirmed that Glasgow Central is out of danger.

is central station on fire now???

This is no longer about saving the corner building. It's lost. All the SFRS can do is try to prevent what would be a catastrophic spread to Glasgow Central Station. 📷 Vyro Media

hello it is now march and i have not yet recovered from the unexpectedly queer second series of the night manager (sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, sometimes it is very obviously not)

it turns out 'butter chicken' is a) similar to a tikka masala and b) called 'chicken makhani', and these two things combined at last explained why i'd never heard of it until recently even though it's apparently everywhere and rly popular.

they've released the secret extra end titles card from the night manager 2!!!!!

archiveofourown.org/works/79170256 it's a crossover between the jeely piece song and the film high-rise. i am sure you instantly understand my vision just from that info.

i cut my hair short, omg my head is so much lighter now, as is my soul.

i am still dying of plague it is very unpleasant i hate it. i wish to become unsick.

kids on tumblr are so determined to have been queerbaited by the night manager, it's bizarre. you could show them actual gay porn and they'd go "okay but they didn't marry in the end so it queerbaited me" :(

Day 4 of the Plague, it is somehow worse. I think this is because I stupidly tried to sleep, I will not do that again. This is very unpleasant plague, do not recommend.

thanks to this cold i currently sound like marge simpson but cracking mid-sentence like when taylor swift pretends she can't do the high notes at full power. (idk if she's really pretending, i assume she must be cos i think it's just a modern singing trend? 'ironic spice girl vocal range'?)

i have PLAGUE (a cold)

There's an Aldi to the left of me, an Asda to the right, yet here I am stuck in a Lidl with you. 😭 I hope we can get out of here before the shop shuts and we are trapped in it all night. I do not want to have to go through all that again.

postman just delivered something i bought off ebay in june of 2024. must have been accidentally redirected to mars or something. but at least i now have the plug for the kitchen sink that i needed 18 months ago! yay! (i bought another one when this one did not turn up. because it was on mars.)

[update] In Progress: Scheduled maintenance is currently in progress. We will provide updates as necessary.

people being mean about "only 50 kudos" hits very differently if you spend enough time in fandoms where 50 *hits* can be considered a success. some of you will never know the joy of "i need TWO hands to count all the kudos on this one! 🥰"

here's a gif of me watching the night manager

scottishgrocer.co.uk/2025/12/18/i... i saw "irn bru zero" in a shop yesterday and looked it up and it's just xtra with a new name, not a third kind of diet irn bru. two's probably one too many as it is tbh. i've always assumed calling it xtra was some sort of fragile scottish masculinity thing tbh.

Another week, another Fratricide Friday.

Over on AO3 we'e trying to turn The Night Manager from a "Reader, You Fucked Him" fandom into a gay porn fandom.

my fave tumblr thing of the past week or so is someone asking how a fictional character previously shown as being into women could now be into men in the tags of a post that - wait for it, here's the punchline - they'd reblogged from someone with the word 'bisexual' in their username.

The streetlight that's been out since August has been fixed!!! IT IS WORKING!!! 🥳 \o/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RLP...

the new night manager series is a lot gayer than i was expecting and i am enjoying that immensely. almost makes up for the lack of any hotel management this time round and for luring us in with a cute ginger cat that has not been seen since the first episode.

no they *should* have called it the sylvie series, she put away more work into the plot than her male variants did. once again the men fall upwards and the women don't even get to fall off their flat home planet and invade a different much rounder planet and have to free all of reality instead 😡

www.youtube.com/watch?v=tODU... Free my girl she did nothing wrong. But she should have, because she's supposed to be the baddy from the first Avengers movie. SUPPORT WOMENS RIGHTS TO THEIR OWN WRONGS.

Had to stay in until the ice on the pavements melted enough to let me get to the shop 😭 I think I'd have been okay had I been able to get onto the road, but that metre or so of pavement was an impassable wasteland. Or something like that.
