Hi Everybody Please Reblog This And Tell Me Your Go-to Coffee Order Right Now And If You Don't Like Coffee

a tumblr mutual is like the curator of a beautiful museum

Jaheira coming back to her house and immediately getting tag-team roasted by all of her children will never not be hilarious to me

if I ever have kids I aspire to raise them to be this sarcastic

it's important to have a group of ppl that you can just sit and think about The Character with

I will absolutely yell at anyone about Jaheira/Nine-Fingers and/or Karlach/Minthara! (Or other BG1, 2, and 3-related things!!)

Messaging people for the first time is so hard. What am I supposed to say? Like, "You seem really odd and your blog intrigues me. Do you want to have philosophical conversations or perhaps talk about fictional characters?" What! Whatever. I will just follow you back and stare at your blog with my big beautiful brown eyes.

The Athenaeum was my go-to as a teen! Highly recommend for Xena fics and femshalsh!

Most people tend to agree that Ao3 is the go-to fanfiction site nowadays, but some of you really need to remember that older fandoms (and fandoms up through the early 2010's even) have a LOT of content on places like FF.net, Livejournal, Wordpress, etc. Some people even still post there and elsewhere exclusively. Like, you're truly missing out in those cases if you think Ao3 is the end all and be all of fandom content. I was still actively using LJ communities to find and share fics until around 2020.

I've even been reading for an old fandom of mine on FF.net this past week. Y'all don't even know. There are literally FAR more fics there than can be found on Ao3 simply because of when this fandom began.

Ao3 is easier to use and superior in almost every way, but too many people think that all "quality" fic or all fic in general is on Ao3 without considering what was available beforehand. Too many people think all fanfiction on fanfiction.net is bad just because it's on fanfiction.net. They don't even think about the older blogging sites.

I'm just saying. Y'all are missing out by not being open to navigating the fandom archives and spaces that dominated before Ao3 got here.

I could be wrong, hear me out. A few years age gap, maybe 21/25 isn’t really older woman/younger woman yuri. That’s relatively the same age. You’ve likely had a lot of the same experiences and grew up with the same culture.

150 and 42? Yeah. 43 and 22? Also yeah.

She would just one shot all the enemies

- Fragment 147, Sappho

Fragments by Sappho mock book cover 💘💐🕊️

I’ve been continuing to play with cover concepts, and am very excited to share this one for a prospective collection of Sappho’s poem fragments. 💘

I’d come up with the idea earlier, to reuse my illustration of Flora from Stabiae, but this week I stumbled across this very cool font named Big Caesar that looks just like ancient handwriting. I’ve tweaked it a little bit to fit the composition, but overall kept the original look.
