A lot of my Tumblr friends are not as far as I know on Dreamwidth, so I've been going around subscribing to lots of people who I don't yet know, just on the basis that you're friends of friends and on a cursory glimpse I liked what I've read in your journals. But finally it occurs to me that you might like to know something about me.

I'm a fan-crone by now. I got my start on Yahoo groups when I was in Star Wars TPM fandom, left them for LJ, where I passed through Silmarillion fandom and Pirates of the Caribbean fandom and ended up writing for Loki fandom from the first Thor movie.
I started off as galadhir and changed to potboy with the shift to PotC.

Then I went to Tumblr and cycled through Stargate SGU and Star Wars TFA, and TLJ with a heavy interest in Hux, to which I'm more or less clinging on for lack of anything better.

I didn't like to share anything very personal on Tumblr - it didn't feel like a safe environment - but when I had my LJ it was a mix of fannishness and personal life, so I hope to revert to that here.

Personal life wise, I am ace and agender. I'm an indie-author of mm romance, sf/f and cozy mystery, and I'm probably likely to talk about morris dancing a lot because that's my major hobby. I'm in three different morris sides and I dance three nights a week and a lot of weekends too. It doesn't leave time for much else.

Anyone have any idea how I stop whatever it was I did to mirror all my Tumblr posts over here? I make way too many of them and it seems kind of antisocial, but I don't know what I did to start it, so I have no idea how to stop it either.

thekimonogallery:

It’s not often that the Tokyo National Museum brings out their kimonos for display - but there is now a great exhibition there.  Too bad it was not a permanent display, and also too bad that not many international visitors will be able to see the temporary display because of the restrictions in travel due to Covid-19.  Hopefully many Japanese will visit to be inspired by the greatness of their past.

I don’t understand how on TV, people can break into homes and immediately find bank statements, passports and super important documents. If someone tried that at my place it would be “I’m sure she keeps her important stuff in her desk. No, wait, this draw is full of pens that don’t work. Aha! This box looks important! Oh, never mind. It’s full of cigarette lighters. She doesn’t even smoke!”

*I* can’t even find my own important documents in my own home half the time. If someone breaks in and instantly finds my stuff they’re hired

neontologist:

LGBT activists have been vocal about intersex issues for several decades, because establishing the legal right to bodily autonomy for intersex persons is basically inseparable from establishing the right of trans persons to that same legal autonomy over their own bodies. many intersex persons prefer not to be grouped together with LGBT causes; however, the vast majority of LGBT activists would agree that performing “corrective” surgery on intersex infants - to force them to adhere to a largely fictional gender binary - is pretty fucking evil.

veliseraptor:

a thing I think tumblr could keep in mind sometimes is the idea that when two people come into conflict it is not always the case that one person is in the right and one person is in the wrong; sometimes two people can have equally legitimate reactions to the same thing, and those things can be opposing, without one person necessarily being more “correct.”

sometimes a conflict is not between right/wrong but just between competing needs.

Oh my god today one of the customers gave me fish again

I work in a coastal town. A couple of years ago one customer was buying some salad and said it was to go with the fish he just caught, and I said “wow, I don’t think I’ve ever had fish that fresh before”. He promised to catch me one and a few months later came in with a whole ass fish he had caught for me.

A couple months ago a different customer was talking about how he and his daughter were going to have fish they had caught for dinner and I told him the story about the first guy. He ALSO promised to bring me some, and a week later gave me a fillet of parrot fish he had caught earlier that day.

Tonight he came in and specifically asked for me, and when I showed up he had another WHOLE ASS FISH that he had scaled and gutted to give to me. I told him he really didn’t have to do that (and thanked him like 10 times) and he insisted he had had extra and had eaten enough fish to be sick of it anyway.

Customers just give me fresh caught fish now I guess it’s wild

What the fuck, Nicola

WHAT I DIDN’T (TECHNICALLY) ASK FOR THIS

my boyfriend is now concerned that fisherman are trying to court me

If it is a comfrt to your boyfriend, this is not courtship behavior but the natural generousity of people who have stumbled into an abundance of something and want to share their good fortune/they’re really sick of eating it.

Inland, this is the same instinct that drives people to leave bags of Zucchini on thier neighbor’s doorsteps starting in mid-july.

snivellum:Had I a man’s fair form, then might

via https://ift.tt/2BLUluB

snivellum:

Had I a man’s fair form, then might the force

Be carried swiftly through these hallowed stars

To break upon your wretched heart; ‘tis ours

A passion battled for along this course;

But ah! I am no knight born in remorse;

My blood runs poisoned, darkened from my scars;

I am no happy servant to which mars,

Disorders your endeavours to enforce.

Yet still I fall below thee—and I yearn,

To slip beyond control which us alike

Is gripp’d by shadows clashing, tearing through.

Ah! I will taste the light of which you burn;

When flames upon your pallid face doth strike,

I’ll follow in that fleeting death to you.

It’s now my headcanon that Hux re-writes Keats to express his sexual frustration angst. (My re-write of “Had I a Fair Man’s Form” which I think is about Keats being ugly?? but here is just a power thing)

star-destroyer-supremacy:

Hux is such a Victorian man I can’t even handle it. Look at him, he’s such a bitch. He’s a twink British imperial, he’d fit in perfectly. He’s so pasty and sickly, yet so beautiful. He’s practically dying of consumption as we speak. Don’t get a doctor, just someone write a poem about him in the style of Keats.

via https://ift.tt/3iL3Uuf

utwo:

The rock fortress of Sigiriya is one of the most valuable historical monuments of Sri Lanka. On its summit there are the ruins of an ancient civilization. Sigiriya refuses to reveal its secrets easily and you’ll have to climb a series of steep staircases attached to rocky walls to reach the top. The locals call it the Eighth Wonder of the World and they’re probably right.
