A Nation of Thieves plays when James arrives at Miranda’s in 1×02 as well and jfc I want to cry.

Miranda and Thomas were everything to James and he only is at home when he’s with them and ughhhh they should have had years together and been allowed to be happy.

Ok everyone – here’s the deal. I’m at work today, and my job demands a great deal of my time, attention, and energy, so trying to do author appreciation day right now is not going to work. Nor am I going to be able to do it tonight – I’ve got social obligations that are likely to keep me occupied for about two hours after work. So – just know that I fully intend to rec the shit out of some people’s work, but I’m doing it tomorrow to keep the fun going. In the meantime though – it’s Author Appreciation Day! Go help keep your favorite authors writing their stuff by reccing their work, leaving comments, reblogging their posts – just show some love, friends, because honestly fic writers work hard for zero dollars and they get half the recognition of fan artists for the same amount of time spent.

If you want some recs now, go check out @jamesflintmcgrawhamilton‘s stuff, @la-tarasque, @penflicks, @northwisesun, @complaininginthedark and @squid-inspiration

If you had several million dollars to spend on building a castle, what would your castle look like?

$50,000 would go towards making it look like this:

The rest of the millions would go towards making the legs robotic so I can walk my horrifying new house everywhere while also evading property tax.

This is the exact plot to howls moving castle

that’s – that’s literally Baba Yaga’s house.

U.S friends, there is still a national prison strike from Aug 21 – Sept 9.

If your on Facebook, join the Millions For Prisoners fb group here

I’m hopeful that the wave of ICE blockades feeds into the prison strike support

STARTS TODAY

Starting to write fic for a new fandom is weird. Because in the fandom I’m experienced with, I’m familiar with the characters. Writing them feels less like writing, and more like transcribing conversations I hear them having. And yeah, I come up with the premise, but that’s it. Once I do that, all I have to do is drop the characters in and listen to them.

In a new fandom, I’m still getting to know these characters. Sometimes, I hear them, and sometimes I don’t. Most of the time, it really feels like I have to write them. It’s like climbing down a ladder–in the fandom I’m experienced with, I don’t have to look at my feet. I know where the rungs will be. In the new fandom, I have to grope around looking for the rungs, and even when my foot finds them, I have to step on them tentatively, test them out before committing to the step.

But it’s kinda a joy, too, because I can (just barely) remember feeling this way about the fandom I’m experienced with too. And now it’s so natural. And this time, I feel myself learning.

Reblogging this because it’s a fascinating insight into creating fanfics.
