So Uhhh Apparently People Follow Me Now So Tell Me A Random Fact About Yourself! Mine Is That My Favourite

Tired of the angst, now manifesting this attitude from Crowley when Aziraphale shows up next in S3:

Honestly, probably the best social tip I could ever give you guys is literally just ask. Need to make a doctor's appointment but don't know how? Call the doctor's office and ask. Don't know the meaning of what someone said? Ask them. Don't understand the instructions you were given? Ask them to repeat or clarify. This has literally never failed me, no one's gotten angry, no one's refused to answer.

Even in situations where you think it might not work, I once accidentally missed a deadline to accept a job offer, so I called and asked if they could reset it and they did. Just today I called a doctor and asked how to schedule an appointment, the lady told me how, and then I did it. Didn't know if someone was being sarcastic or not, so I asked and they told me. Just ask.

WHAT IF, WHAT IF that moment where MJ is falling she's saved by another spider-man and it's Andrew's

I came out as queer at 13 because even then I knew that bi wasn't quite right - it took five years before I clocked that I was arospec as well. And you know what? Queer worked perfectly well throughout that time!

[ID: A modified Marie Kondo meme. The first panel shows “the vagueness of queer as an umbrella term”, and she remarks “This one sparks joy.” End ID]

ao3 is down, so now I must get my fanfic quota via writing it myself.

surprisingly good motivation lol

I went on a walking tour in Granada today and it ended up being just my partner and I and the tour guide (paying 40€ for a private tour instead of 200€? an absolute win), who was a) our age and b) even more of a history nerd than me. What followed was two hours of intense history learning (as I kept asking questions) and it was an absolutely delightful time of two history nerds nerding out, and my partner being excited to learn as well but just being amused. be! supportive! of! other! people's! interests! it's more fun for everyone

no offense but if someone is excited about something and you make them feel stupid for being excited about it you are the worse type of person

okay I've never seen this show so I can say nothing about the characters but like... that lace is ripping me right out of the historical period it is so obviously completely modern and machine made and polyester WHY MUST YOU DO THIS!!!! quit it!!!! pay for proper lace making!!!

"The Buccaneers" Wedding of the Season (TV Episode 2023)

a hint of what I'm working on...

this is for the new Tess Lives / fungus fuckery fic I'm working on. I wanted the first chapter to be up but the fic as a whole is requiring more planning than I expected (read: my science education kicked in and I've had to come up with full fungal evolution plans which has required a shit ton of show research because my brain kept picking wholes in what I had. this is the result of a STEM degree apparently)

the current plan is alongside our favourite characters that each chapter will contain some sort of FEDRA / fireflies notes and or propaganda about what they know about cordyceps, so have the first one now!

A formal announcement of the changes to Quarantine Procedure 48.1.3, 48.2.3, 48.6.2, and 48.6.4, authorised by FEDRA Director for the Denver QZ, Andrew Wirral, 19th January 2024. The new Quarantine Procedures read as follows, with changes in bold, followed by the previous rules in italics: 48.1.3 Testing positive for cordyceps is thus defined as meeting any of the following criteria: - A positive test using a FEDRA regulation scanner. - A visibly infected bite (defined as tendrils further than 3mm (extending) from the teeth marks). - At least two (any of) the below symptoms: Severe and continuous muscle spasms Slurred speech Increased aggression Coughing combined with yellowing eyes 48.2.3 On arriving at a Quarantine Zone, anyone testing positive for cordyceps will be subject to humane euthanasia. If the arrival tests negative for cordyceps, they will be held in a quarantine cell for no less than 72 hours (a maximum of 36 hours), at which point they will be retested. If they test negative again at this time, they will be allowed into the Quarantine Zone for a probationary period of three months, after which they will be recognised as full citizens of the Quarantine Zone. AND 48.6.2 In the event of a suspected outbreak within the rules, FEDRA is explicitly permitted to (may) ignore the normal rights of the residents (detailed in FEDRA Regulations 48.9) until the outbreak is under control and there is no further risk to the integrity of the Quarantine Zone. AND 48.6.4 After suspected contact with an infected in the event of an outbreak, FEDRA retains the right to place the resident into a quarantine cell for no less than 72 hours (a maximum of 36 hours) to ensure no further transmission.
