Mr em has covid 🙃✌️

My "growing a new human is very tiring" afternoon lay downs have become such a staple of my day that I am now the proud owner of a special sofa duvet set and memory foam pillow I can have "actual rest, not just sad lay downs" - direct quote from Mr Em

Hello I am pleased to announce that despite Dr Doom's empathy lacking not-diagnosis back in August, we have now confirmed, with the help of the most lovely sonographer, a kiwifruit sized em jr with all the right parts a baby should have at this stage of growing 😌

Perhaps this is quite niche but I have caught up with the sewing bee and to say I am shocked, appalled, and deeply upset would be an understatement

My limited internet time truly RUINED by being blocked from all the nsfw channels in every discord under the sun because I refuse to verify my age 😔 I just wanna look at rude things in peace 😔

Some positive news re: this hell. Saw my community midwife for the first time today and she's SO MAD about this, apologised so much for our experience, and has directed us to the feedback and complaints 😌 best believe I've got my typing fingers ready.

Man, I miss the person I was three years ago when I was in the depths of plotting and writing seven point three miles. I was a Storytelling Machine back then 😭

the real answer, i know, is both. both is good. but authors: would you rather nail the opening line of a story, or the closing line?

Life continues to Life with a capital L but the one nice thing I have managed this summer is the completion of my OG 151 cross stitch after 3 years and god knows how many stitches of work 🙌

A little bit overwhelmed by everyone's love and support rn. As you can imagine mr em and I have absolutely negative spoons for anything and I cannot possibly reply to everyone individually but we are feeling your love and thank you all 💛

Cw: pregnancy. Not really the way I saw myself sharing this news, but I need somewhere to Feel about the abject cruelty of a male Dr *laughing* through his explanation of "bleeding at this stage of pregnancy goes one of two ways and we'll find out at your 12 week scan which one it is!"

It is done.

old res ed, enter stage left 🌲 chapter two of old reservoir is waiting for you here: archiveofourown.org/works/667105... 💛 #ofmdfic

It is the final Monday of the school year. 4.5 days, 11 lessons, 2 break duties, and 3 meetings stand between me and the summer break. I ate jellybeans for breakfast. I have my timetable for next year and it is Not Bad 🙏

Something about the 8pm hour every single day that has me thinking "I should post another chapter of reservoir" when I'm already too tired to go through the rigmarole of putting it on ao3. I will never, ever learn.

just call me the outlier em georg because we just accepted an offer of full asking price for our flat 3 (three) days after it was listed for sale 😂

Do u ever feel like adulthood is coming at you at a faster pace than you are willing to deal with? Brought to you by our flat being listed for sale YESTERDAY and now we are having viewings tomorrow and Saturday. Feeling very Lucius this is far too fast this is far too fast this is far too fast.gif

The sale listing for our flat went up today, including a virtual tour of every single room. The software they use clearly has an automatic facial recognition blur for people's personal photos, and poor Lionel fell victim to the ai 😂

Estate agent paperwork signed, photographs taken, house DIY 98% complete. I am just desperate to get my brain back for things that are fun like writing fanfiction, and bullying friends into drawing things to accompany fanfiction, and thinking about fanfiction 😭

Ohhhh, I’m on fire. Please enjoy this Sunday scribble as my offering to the bonfire. I read the early draft of That Scene once, two days ago. Apologies that they’re not horizontal, but have a little lip tracing as a treat (it’s all speculative fantasy at this point). #OFMD #OFMDfanart

sunday morning bowl of barb

Reading the little script excerpt then looking at the reservoir fic outline. Then back at the script. Then back at the fic outline...

playing with light - #ofmdart #edteach

it's a win for me in the category of "I'm on Fire being the song that finally gets ed and stede in bed together" 😌

God I hope I have time to write this weekend 😭

I don't even care if it's not real lol

Because I am a sillybitch™️ with no regard for my own wellbeing I have in fact signed up for the big bang to write an entirely different fic 😌

Genuine question how do you stay focused working from home??? All my stuff is here! My CAT is here. I don't want to do work I want to do my cross stitch or play world of warcraft or go for a walk. Work is for work. Not for home.

#wipwednesday reservoir boys: ed pov edition 😌

This surprise WFH is serendipitous because the estate agent is coming round this afternoon to write his report and measure our flat ready to put it up for sale and I am NERVOUS.

No sweeter words to see in an email subject than "emergency school closure", closely followed by the phrase "please work from home for the remainder of today and tomorrow"

Good morning it is currently 7.25am and a balmy 24.1 degrees c in my classroom and I am looking forward to seeing how high that rises as a room that gets the sun all day 😌

Last day of Pride month so I'm gonna share a couple of my favorite rainbow-y art pieces I've made! Starting with this fun compilation! Feel free to use as a phone background (I think I have the dimensions right) or it's also available on my InPRNT 🌈💜 www.inprnt.com/gallery/dean...

In news that should surprise nobody, a weekend of crawling around on the floor painting skirting boards and door frames has once again aggravated my old hip injury. Except this time it's painful enough that I'm just sitting awake on the couch at 3am because laying down is impossible 🫠🫠🫠

There needs to be a word for the weird emotions surrounding the process of erasing all the signs of life from your home so you can sell it. 4 years of the cat brushing against the edge of our bedroom door in the morning as she comes in for a cuddle, about to be painted over :(

Hi, happy Friday, here's a couple of old men tongue kissing #ofmdfanart #gentlebeard

opening fic doc like well that was a fascinating place for past me to just...stop writing. great work. flawless.

Tried to be productive as all fuck on this Friday afternoon and was rewarded with slamming my little finger so hard in a cabinet door that it has split the nail and IMMEDIATELY turned black and blue ✌️ happy Friday to meeeeeeee

Me vs my Friday year 10 class full of Olympic medal winning button pushers. Who will come out victorious (it won't be me)

hello i will happily talk about all the things i'm currently not writing

I want to quit my job except I don't actually want to quit my job I want someone ELSE to quit so that work isn't shit anymore. But they won't. So I'm STUCK.

There is one specific person at work making my life SO fucking frustrating every single day and I just don't GET IT. we do not have to make everything this difficult. I have absolute proof that every day does not have to be this much of a battle. And yet.

The two months of astronomical twilight is always a little bit of a mindfuck but never moreso than around midsummer like wdym it's 22.30 and this is the sky what do you MEAN

Icymi during the weekend of pirate galavanting 😌 cabin fic 2.0! Stede and his unapologetic bedside lube! Lucius "millennial branded meddling" Spriggs! Edward ex machina Teach! (He's not very good with blood) They're a disaster waiting to happen.

I am not going to sign up for the big bang because deadlines are my sworn enemy HOWEVER if any artist moots wanna collab on a ceramicist ed au (cool visuals! so many pots! sexy arm fun!! 😏) pls slide in my replies or dms because I am KEEN to work with people 😀

drew this about a year and a half ago thinking about a fisherman Ed and mysterious lighthouse keeper Stede #ofmdfanart

Had to go back to the bad place to find this but THIS, but add the veil 🙂

Okay but now I'm mildly obsessed with the potential role reversal of Pedro Pascal as Ed and Taika as Joel
