I think I’ve spent too much time on tumblr. When I watched Wonder Woman last night, near the end it made me think about gifsets and whether there was one in particular.
Has anyone seen one using this quote – “I was here, I existed, I was young, I was happy, and someone cared enough about me in this world to take my picture.” – seems like it would be pretty perfect. It was literally the first thing I searched for 🙂
Heya Santa *waves*
I’m not surprised you haven’t written anymore *glares at the sun* stop making it so damn hot! Yesterday was better, by the night time it was nice. I kinda … refuse to open my windows on anything other than ventilate because I have this thing about bugs, and of course British houses trap heat so my room was still pretty warm for most of yesterday. Woke up this morning and it was so nice, and now the day is progressing and it’s getting hotter again and just ugh can it be winter please?
Anyway, enough moaning about the weather. I’m not sure if I should apologize for the fic turning epic, or do a *happy dance* because wow that sounds incredible, maybe both? I hope it won’t give you trouble Santa, as always what I want most is for you to be happy and enjoy writing the fic.
Hmm food. My tastes are very simple to be honest. It’s sort of a joke in my family that I’m the best person to take out for dinner because I don’t like anything fancy. Chain places, and the cheaper ones at that, are the order of the day. So I really know absolutely nothing about proper food, the kind that they would serve at an upscale restaurant like Gold works at. I’m also a pretty rubbish cook. My version of “making an effort” involves anything that I actually have to chop stuff for, or sit and babysit it rather than leaving it and coming back when it’s cooked. I know I’m terrible.
That being said. I eat a fair bit of pasta and rice dishes. I like to stir-fry things and then either have it with pasta, or mix it with rice. I don’t like mash, I’m not really fond of potatoes full stop unless they are the fries variety. I don’t really like heavier meals like stews, but I confess that if I can’t avoid it then I will have rice rather than mash. I know rice with gravy is probably weird but it tastes nice to me. When I’m not feeling well I’ll often have sausages with rice and gravy.
So yeah pasta, rice – bacon! Seriously bacon goes with a lot. Oh and peppers (not the hot kind) also go with so much. Chicken is probably the meat I eat the most. Although I don’t like whole roast chicken, it’s got a funny flavor. What else do I eat on a regular basis? I usually have spaghetti and meatballs most weeks. This is probably not at all helpful for you. It’s too plain, not fancy enough. If Gold is the fancy head chef, I would be teenage Bae staring at the fancy food in horror and not wanting to eat anything heh.
Sorry Santa. I just don’t know anything about food. I hope you have a good week! Oh and I hope you stay cool!
@maplesyrupao3 @worryinglyinnocent I got both your asks, thank you so much! I want to answer them with ficlets but I had work and now I’m going to see Wonder Woman. So I guess TMI Tuesday will just spill over into Wednesday slightly. Hope that’s ok 🙂
While I’m notifying people that tumblr wasn’t hungry today @betweenpaperpages I got your prompt, thank you! I’m going to answer it as soon as I can. I want to check in with those two as well heh.
Ok! I’m going to go change my Shield Academy shirt for a Wonder Woman shirt (I’ve had that shirt 5 years actually, it’s very fortuitous) and I’ll probably be adding a ton of Wonder Woman to my queue tomorrow. Have a good night everyone!
(OOC I don’t know if you saw this ficlet)
We’re going to the movies! At 6pm! Tonight! What am I going to wear? I was so eager for him to agree that I just dismissively said it was a multiplex and it would be fine but what if nothing is on? What if it’s sold out? What if …
Oh no, oh no, we didn’t agree where to meet, we said 6pm but am I meeting him at the shop or is he meeting me here at the library? Maybe I should go and ask him? But I don’t want to bother him and make him want to take back the invitation. The library and the shop are opposite, so if I just linger on the sidewalk, then that should be fine.
I hope it goes ok…
Ask me about the show. Ask me anything about my fics, ask my characters anything. You can send me a word and if it’s in my WIP doc then I’ll post a teaser snippet. I accept prompts for any of my existing verses.
This week I posted:
A lot of ficlets. I had an impromptu prompt-a-thon to try and help get me writing again. Good news! It seems to have worked 🙂
– I believe you dropped this (Rumbelle, Glasses!Verse)
– You’re too young to hate the world (GoldenLace)
– Never mind, the moment’s gone (Rumbelle, Moment!Verse)
– If you really loved me there wouldn’t be a choice (Post-S6 Gold family fluff)
– You’re supposed to talk me out of this (Lachacy)
– That was a perfect example of how not to do things (Rushacy)
– Same time tomorrow? (GoldenLace, Tomorrow!Verse)
– I didn’t intend to kiss you (Rumbelle, Glasses!Verse)
– It’s 8:30, I have a hangover and you’re annoying me (BraveWarrior)
– Your smile is not as bright as it used to be (GoldenLace, Tomorrow!Verse)
– I’ve been buying the wrong underwear (Rumbelle, Moment!Verse)
– Shut up, I am a delight (Rumbelle/GoldenLace not sure yet)
– My nightmares are usually about losing you (Regina and Henry family feels)
You could also ask me a question off any of these lists.
We have guests so the radio was on earlier – it never usually is I’m married to iTunes or Spotify heh – and I suddenly tuned in to the song that was playing.
Only You – all my SwanFire feels!
I love random happenings which spark good thoughts like that 🙂 I started humming along and thinking about these two dorks and the AU’s someone was talking about yesterday with baby brother Gideon. All the feels heh 🙂
YOU MANAGED TO WRITE IN THIS HEAT????!!!!!
You are my hero! Seriously how did you do it? I’m in awe! I didn’t even turn the PC on today because it was too sweltering. I suppose I could have written on my laptop (I turned that on to reply to this) but I think my brain dribbled out my ears or turned into cotton wool or something.
Although I suppose it’s a matter of circumstance. Last July had an incredibly hot week and that week I wrote 30k but the situation was different. So even though it was technically hotter on the thermometer, I’m hotter right now than I was then. Ugh I don’t know if that makes sense – it’s the heat! Hopefully it’ll cool down soon, although I was told it’s only set to get warmer *cries*
I’m just not used to being hot. I’m perpetually cold normally. So usually everyone is complaining of being hot and I’m wearing a sweater and looking for a blanket, but I guess 30 degree weather is too hot even for me … and did I just spend three paragraphs complaining about the heat? Ooops sorry Santa!
I’m so glad to hear that you are enjoying writing the fic! That’s what makes me the happiest, thinking that you are happy 🙂 So thank you so much for that! Heh well it would probably be a good job without the customers right? 🙂 I’m pleased the movie AU isn’t giving you too many problems. I’m so excited to read this! I’m alternating between counting down because yay fic, and going eeek where’s the time going in regards to mine heh. Do you find that Santa?
Anyway, I hope that your weekend went ok and you didn’t suffer with the heat too badly! I also hope your forthcoming week will be a good one!
[cont] But I know you’ll be ok with that. As it stands, I have Gold as the uptight head chef, teen Bae as his son who suddenly comes into his custody, and Belle as the bright young thing hired as a sous-chef. I have Mal as the restaurant owner, Jefferson in an amalgamated role as the restaurant maitre d’, and Regina as Gold’s therapist (because oh, the snark will be wonderful). If that sounds good to you, we should be good to go!
Oh wow that sounds incredible!
So yes that definitely sounds good to me! 🙂 I’m sorry the movie AU is giving you trouble. I’m happy with a loose adaptation, or a stricter one, or basically you know whatever heh. I’m happy with anything really. I just want you to enjoy yourself. I think all those characters sound perfect! Seriously it sounds fantastic.
I’m really loving the sound of the snark heh 🙂
[cont] But the upside is that at least I haven’t started writing, so I don’t have to scrap anything! Tomorrow, I promise. There will be words on the page tomorrow. Hope your own gift is going ok and you’re managing to stay cool! I’ve lived here all my life but I categorically hate British weather! ~ Santa
Oh wow that’s so cool! You are a fellow countryman 🙂 which kinda narrows your identity down a bit but don’t worry, I still don’t have a clue who you are. Yes it was hot today! I also hate British weather, I think hating the weather is actually part of being British to be fair heh 🙂 Unfortunately it’s set to be even worse tomorrow so please don’t worry about starting writing the fic. Just stay cool! Slaving over a hot computer is not fun when it’s 30c.
I haven’t actually started my gift yet either. We have people staying this weekend and between pretending I’m sociable, and all the extra chores guests generate (plus the heat), I haven’t written anything yesterday or today. I keep saying – tomorrow! to myself as well heh 🙂 I live in hope!
Anyway, thanks for saying hi Santa, it’s always nice to hear from you! You are welcome to message anytime, I’m open to chatting if you felt like it 🙂 I hope you have a good weekend and you stay cool! I also hope that if you do start writing, that the fic treats you well! *hugs*
Reading all the convention posts! His hair is growing back yay 🙂
Anyway, Robert Carlyle said in a couple of years he’ll be playing a hitman that’s tired and wants out of the life? Am I right in that? Because that sounds to me like an older version of David Russell from The Last Enemy and I am so totally here for that!!!
I can’t wait for this. I need fic guys 🙂
I think Anyelle-ing this is kind of a given at this point…
Awesome! If it’s a couple of years away there won’t be any details for a while I guess but we can always take inspiration from previous roles…
Also random but tumblr unfollowed you on it’s own. Thanks to you reblogging my post I noticed. You are the first blog I followed *kicks tumblr* don’t do that!
lemusesick replied to your post: Reading all the convention posts! His hair is…
Ohhh i like the way you think! Now THAT would be awesome
YES! There is zero Last Enemy anyelle fic (that I can find) which I’ve always thought is a shame. RC was brilliant in that. Anyway, however I hope his new project airs on something I can get as I’m definitely going to watch! 🙂
