I'm trying to remind myself that, so long as I'm working on things, they'll be ready when they're ready. I'm an impatient person by nature - I want things done yesterday or earlier, thanks very much - but that's not the way to get sh** done in the long term. Read more ..read more

'Five was scowling, “Try harder. We’re trying to figure out-“ “Blah, blah, how to get home. I know .” Klaus rolls his eyes. “I’d like to see you try to listen with all this noise.”' I love it when there are tropes that are specific to the fandom. Like, someone - (or several someones, separately, in fandom harmony,) - will come up with an idea - like, for argument's sake: Klaus from The Umbrella Academy (TUA) makes the ghosts visible to his siblings and they Freak. The eff. Out. - (If you're new here - I can't swear, because my mother. If you're not new here - I still can't swear, be ..read more

OK - I know that there are international fans of this series, but since it's less well-known outside the UK, a little background: Gavin and Stacey is a BBC sitcom about a Welsh woman from Barry and an English dude from Essex meeting on the internet, falling in love, and trying to get together despite being from opposite ends of the country. It's also where James Corden hit the big time, in the UK at least. So... there's that. Make of it what you will ? Read more ..read more

  ...a post brought to you by my boredom with walking, and my doctor's insistence that, if I go walkies, it'll help with my mental health. (I'm not buying it - it's never helped before, but I'll try anything.) When there's been no rain for a couple of days in a row, it's not so bad 'cos I can go to the woods, but otherwise said woods are like a very slippery mudslide.  So if it's been raining within 48-72 hours, then I have to walk around streets and shops and sh** so I don't trip, fall, and end up in the river/bang my head on a tree/anger one of The Fair Folk by falling into th ..read more

Narrator: it did not take an hour. ...OK, so this is a The Falcon and The Winter Soldier (TFATWS) fic because I am trash and have run out of effs to give. ? Read more ..read more
