Just learned that tailgating apparently means something quite different in the US

I feel like misspelling sizhui as shizui is in the same category as misspelling rogue as rouge. Like it's not a typo they just don't realise that's not how it's spelled

Here with stone cold takes on 40 year old films but I've never seen the color purple before and like, what is this, tonally? What is happening? The jaunty quincy jones soundtracked domestic abuse? Is this is a conscious choice to unsettle, is the book like this

Watching Tip Toe because I thought I was strong enough but I'm SO STRESSED

Just realised I check out unfamiliar fandom spaces for their feelings on people liking CQL with the same cautious energy as I check out real life spaces for their feelings on people being queer

This morning as I was sitting on the sofa looking at the sun on my little garden I cried because I realised I was happy, and that I think I had been unhappy for a very long time

Very sorry for continued bridgerton posting but they've really turned the romance-coding of penelope/eloise up to eleven this season, and it was already at like...ten. Why are they doing this, what are their intentions

The 2023 hanguang-june art that is now my annual tumblr reblog but I don't think I've ever posted here. ANYWAY enjoy your special month lwj #wangxian #CQL #TheUntamed

Nearly done with season 1 of bridgerton, verdict so far: fake dating should have lasted longer, if only because the baby drama is absolutely HORRIFYING. Please tell me this was also the general opinion when it first came out, I feel like I'm going crazy

I'm watching Bridgerton, I'm a person who watches Bridgerton now. The purposeful anachronism is actually pretty fun, but I do find myself thinking it would be funner if it stretched to making literally every character (explicitly) queer THE VIBES ARE THERE

I did it! I drove the car for the first time! I parked in a bay and went through a 60mph zone and did big roundabouts and no one died! Obviously all things I did countless times while learning but not on my own in this car!

27C today NO THANKS?? Work are lucky I'm even still logged on

Incredible: within two weeks of moving somewhere packed full of scenic walks, I break my toe

Dreamt my boss had tasked me with writing a short pitch for a piece of wangxian art, on deadline, but it was fine because I knew there was this one idea I'd been meaning to do for ages, but half way through writing I realised I'd forgotten a key detail of the idea because it's been SO LONG

#cql #theuntamed #lanwangji / #LanZhan #weiwuxian / #WeiYing "I still am."

House of the Dragon is my latest binge and I'm still watching but it's fraught, because while I do find this kind of fantasy compelling I have very little stomach for "watch all your faves die horribly and inevitably"

I have been in the new house for a week: hurrah! I am too scared to drive the hand-me-down car I have so have been living on fast food: boo!

It's 8pm the night before I move home. Everything I do is the last time I'll do it in my little flat where I've spent the last 12 years. I'm so sad

I do obviously try and avoid political chat on socmed at all costs but I still feel a bit grumpy about how I haven't seen *anything* on the UK elections today specifically about how the Insane Fascist Party For Morons has made terrifying gains. Like is anyone else seeing this shit

Omg FINALLY concluded contracts on the flat sale/house purchase this afternoon, a mere TWO WORKING DAYS before I'm due to move. I've aged decades in the past few weeks

Me losing interest in a longfic because wangxian "decide to wait", truly I am your scumbag high school boyfriend, I WILL break up with you if you don't put out

I wish The Youth (or maybe just the American Youth? Difficult to tell online) would stop throwing around 'fag' (as in gay person, not as in cigarette) as casually as they do. I'm sure it's an age thing and possibly a regional thing too but god I wince every time

Just watched The Northman for the first time and really enjoyed it, but my main takeaway is that oh my god I could actually see what was happening in the nighttime scenes and didn't have to turn the brightness up on my TV even a little bit, PRAISE BE

Not to be dramatic but I actually want to kill myself because I can't deal with this level of anxiety

My toxic trait is that I cannot get behind wei wuxian drawn with a fringe, I just think it looks weird and jarringly anachronistic, like that's a 90s schoolgirl haircut I'm sorry

Things finally progressing a bit with the house move but whenever I start getting hopeful it feels like I'm letting my guard down against something going wrong, like I have to remain vigilantly pessimistic otherwise the universe will punish me? Anyone else broken in this particular way or just me

"you can always fix in the edit! it needs to exist before you can fix it! anything is better than a blank page!" But what if you are me, intimidated to the point of inaction by sheer amount of fixing the existing words require. What then

Now just blocking on sight any tumblr account that unironically refers to wei wuxian or indeed any character as A War Criminal as if the concept existed in a form identical to the Geneva Conventions in ancient fantasy China

I came extremely close to editing fic today. I didn't, obviously, but I was close

masturbation will always be underrated in smut fic. let em go, lets see what they do on their own.

Carefully filtering out every tag I don't want in the ao3 search and STILL finding nothing I want to read on the first page is how it's been for about two years now but I keep checking, and keep coming away deflated

I swear to god I wouldn't even know there was a new harry potter show if it wasn't for the 3000 social media posts telling me I need to ignore it

It's only been two weeks and two days since I accepted an offer on my flat and nothing has gone wrong and I'm trying to get on with my life in the meantime but I am stressed out of my fucking gourd. I am terrified ALL THE TIME. How do people live with this level of uncertainty

In completely separate news, god zhang linghe is so charismatic and pleasing of face, I crave the day he's in a drama I think I might be able to finish

I realised that it's only been three weeks since I viewed the house I'm attempting to buy. It feels like three years. I don't know if my nerves will survive this process

"have you ever considered transitioning" have you ever considered that this is a really invasive thing to say to/about someone completely unsolicited

I've had some really nice fic comments lately (I suspect I may have been recced somewhere BUT WHERE). Looking forward to getting the fandom part of my brain back so I can actually write again

Despite ongoing Extreme Uncertainty I'm daring to get a bit excited about moving. I looked up the bin collection days for the new house today (shared on-street bins right now so collection days are unimportant. Having My Own Bins is an exciting novelty, as is having a loft, internal stairs, etc)

Haaaa I received and accepted an offer for the flat this afternoon, I'm losing my miiiiiind !!!

Four viewings down, five more currently booked in this week. The ultimate fear: that I have to go through the exhausting process of having this many strangers in my unnaturally spotless home and *none of them want to buy it*

Flat has been on the market for three and a half days. Three viewings down. Three booked in over the next week. The uncertainty of everything is making me want to crawl out of my skin

Had the first couple of viewings of my flat today (which went on the market on Thursday). Please let one of them make a decent offer, I'm already done with having half my belongings hidden away in cupboards and keeping every surface spotless

So listen I had an offer accepted on a house yesterday. I am freaking out because I want this *so much* and so scared it's going to fall through somehow because nothing will be legally final for months

For me there are two very distinct flavours of horny, namely "I want them to rail each other" and "I want them to rail ME" and unfortunately have to report I'm experiencing the latter for the first time in years in the most embarrassingly basic way on completing astarion's personal quest in bg3

After failing the first go last month, today I passed my driving test!! Was so convinced I'd failed this time too, fully burst into tears from shock when the examiner told me

They knew what they were doing

"[cql is] heated rivalry but ancient china" sorry I can't hear you over the kill bill sirens

Look I know moresomes are challenging to write but I cannot BELIEVE that in a fandom this massive there are only six lwj/wwx/sl/xxc fics on ao3. Like are the narrative parallels and hero worship not enough to generate just a couple of little pwps? For me?

I don't read a lot of fic with jiang fengmian in but whenever I do I find the characterisation choices unfathomable 95% of the time
