I just rewatched the Importance of Being Earnest yesterday so I feel like Iโ€™m following your vision here

Anybody else ever have a post that shows thereโ€™s a comment, but there are no comments?

Is this a bug? Or should I just exist in peace bc it means a block list is working? ๐Ÿง

It didnโ€™t keep shimmering for long. No sooner had Danโ€™s fingers closed against its haft than it lost its lustre all at once, turning a deep crimson shade, darkening so quickly it might as well have turned black on the spot. And, by the Devil, the whole thing felt heavy. Not enough to prevent a creature like him from using it in a fight, but definitely too heavy for Magda to be able to even stand straight while carrying it. 
The itch to try the weapon for himself coursed through his fingers; the Vashtai in his blood still chanted their hunger for it, for its purity quickly fading away as he tested its balance with one swift swoop. It wasnโ€™t rejecting him, not exactly, but it wasnโ€™t very welcoming eitherโ€”had it been capable of speech, Dan wouldnโ€™t have been surprised to hear it say: โ€˜Make me.โ€™ As for Magda, she now stood rooted like a statue, lips trembling as if about to cry, shock plain on her features. Dan handed the scythe back to her, watching her grab it with eager hands, watching it turn back to its previous appearance almost in a snap of fingers.
โ€˜Now thatโ€™s interesting,โ€™ he whispered. โ€˜Did it hurt when I touched it?โ€™
โ€˜N-no, but it wasโ€ฆโ€™
She swallowed hard, finding her countenance again: โ€˜It feltโ€ฆ unpleasant. Weird. As if icy fingers wereโ€”caressing my soul.โ€™

So many instances of "fight", so of course I picked one where no one is actually fighting ๐Ÿ˜‚

Context: Magda has let Dan hold her scythe (an Artefact that can only manifest in the Obverse). It gets weird for both of them.

the best thing about reading books is everything. some books are gonna make me think about all MY life choices. others are gonna make me think about the CHARACTERS' life choices. some are wild rides i gobble up in one sitting. others take longer and make me feel drunk on story when done.

BOOKS!!!!

I love sneaking little writing sessions in while lounging in the bath, which means that sometimes I open a google doc and find like 2000 words I forgot I wrote! Anyway follow me for more productivity tips

Cardamom is a god tier spice imo. Unbelievable that we are allowed to just taste it

Haha thank god heโ€™s the least destructive dog in the world and extremely polite! We can even leave human food on a low coffee table and he wonโ€™t steal (but he will look incredibly persecuted about it). Socks are safe, tho he will pick one up and greet you with it if he canโ€™t find a toy fast enough

For mine itโ€™s eggs! He hears the carton come out and itโ€™s full attention immediately, and a complete sulk if heโ€™s not indulged.

Many memories were made in Baltimore last week. Hereโ€™s a lot of them from the conference floor with author friends from years past. Escape the mundane one smile at a time. Thank you, letโ€™s do it again. AWP is great.

We need reparations for ICE victims.

Anything short of that is setting the stage for a massive wealth grab from people of color that will re-entrench racial disparities for generations.

Oh my god he needs to be friends with my dog, who will BEG the second he hears the cutting board. He loves carrots and would gladly clean up after your mannerly guy to hide the evidence ๐Ÿ˜‚

Frankly every day men survive (and Iโ€™m assuming the bartenders here were too) is a fucking miracle. Borrowed time ass behavior

She knew she should be patient. Such clues always unveiled gradually, like a puzzle whose pieces she first had to find, instead of just putting them together. Still, it remained as frustrating as ever. This was why she tolerated seers at best, but never enjoyed working with them, and trusted them even less. Of the Underworldโ€™s denizens, sure, they tended to be the least annoying, in that they didnโ€™t sprout fangs or claws or fur, didnโ€™t try to drink peopleโ€™s blood, didnโ€™t go around peddling suspicious Fae wares or swapping children in their cribs, didnโ€™t even wield much magic to begin with. Usually. Yet they were still straddling that border between the mundane and the supernatural, between unknowing mortals and that world born from the Veil of old, back to those times when the substance of the Obverse had still been leaking into the human world, a drop here, a drop there, until one day or one night, a shapeshifter or a vampire arose from the puddle.

I don't have "resident", but "denizen" should do the trick?
