glitz ✨

This looks fantastic, thank you!

🤝 join me in the Order of the Squeegee, friend. The light shines brightly here.

Every winter I go “woe, the darkness is all-encompassing and nary a ray of light penetrates my cave of despair” and every March I go “wow these windows are fucking filthy” and marvel at the difference once I’ve cleaned them. Setting myself an alarm to do them in October and January this year. 🧽🪟

Owww oh no, that sounds so painful! My costume maker friend told me that the best way of getting blood out of fabric is with spit, if you need it!

You are SO correct, and they’re EVERYWHERE. Horrible things. And the flavour in no way makes up for the texture!

I have some thoughts about how deeply shitty it is to willfully replicate the misogynistic trauma trans men grew up with being perceived as girls and told that we’re inferior for our gender, by continuing to tell us that we’re inferior for our gender for being men, too.

Noooooo his little face!! He should get a little treat for his trials 🥺

Excellent, I’ll have my squire walk the horse over to your place. Might take a while if they get lost in the shadow dimension, but the nightmare horse is heading your way 🐴

The Nightmare by Henry Fuseli, a painting of a woman asleep on a couch with a goblin-like creature sat on her stomach. It looks very heavy and solid. There is a scary horse peering into the scene from the side. Personally I would put the evil goblin on my chest and all the worries buzzing around inside me would be squashed and still and then I could finally get stuff done.

Ideal stress management solution tbh. Maybe without the horse.

Just discovered I can buy a 10kg bag of glass filling beads so I can make a weighted pillow heavier than anything anyone will sell me to put on my chest and crush the anxiety out of me. About to be unstoppable 👍

This is why I usually don’t read omegaverse. I can’t stop thinking about all the laundry they’re going to have to do.

YESSSSS OH MY GOD IT’S GONNA BE SO GOOD

Ooh, musically I really like that, but the vocals are a bit shouty for me.

Little peruser ❤️ She can’t go to book shops or Tokyo herself so you must bring them to her instead.

Oh Ro, I’m so sorry. Sending you and your family so many hugs and good thoughts 🫂

A friend in high school used to steal a spritz from his mum’s bottle and he smelled amazing. I’ve been trying to figure out which one it was by process of elimination with store testers, but I think it must just have reacted really nicely with his skin, because they all smell nice but v samey on me.

Amouage and Penhaligons are probably the kind of scents that the tactic of spraying it in front of you and then walking through the cloud is for, but they’re both so expensive I’m not sure I could bring myself to do it even if I owned any.

SUPER CUTE HI ❤️❤️❤️

fun fact I did buy this album specifically as getting laid background music 👍 so at least that hadn’t changed by circa 2010 (when I was definitely no longer a teenage)

jesus christ this album is thirty-two years old. i’m not cool I’m someone‘s dad who collects vinyl 😔

Yes *technically* I am lying on my couch playing sudoku on my phone but in spirit I am at a cool party where there are people doing drugs.

Did you know if you are not very cool you can just put on the album Dummy by Portishead. Problem solved.

Oh, that’s gorgeous 🥰

After years of listening to The Decemberists and The Mountain Goats and Eels I just need to accept that “okay, the voice is an acquired taste but the lyrics are incredible” is a feature not a bug for me.

This was a recommended song for me and it burned me to the fucking ground. “Oh, you like nasal guys with guitars who sound like they’ve swallowed a thesaurus and are kind of pathetic? This’ll be right up your alley, you basic indie bitch.”

What's your favourite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?

I really like wordy songs so I thought finding long titles would be easy but apparently not? I think my current favourite in the category is A Complete List Of Fears Ages 5-28 (Approx) by The Yellow Dress

Gooooorgeous 🤩🤩🤩

I know—AO3 is non-commercial by design so it feels extra gross to have scammers trying to squeeze money out of you there. It’s supposed to be completely non-monetisable; fishing for commissions there, even if it’s real people and not bots, is a betrayal of the values that built it.

That is an excellent cat with an excellent name. She’s gorgeous!

I got one today too! A logged-in account and everything! I clocked it before replying (STREET SMARTS) because it tried to get me to a secondary location in the first message, but man, that was disappointing to get as the first comment on a new fic.
