He envisions Aaron [in front of] him, sun now setting in the distance and bending the light in the room, covered in blood spatter, holding the murder weapon - a now-dripping flashlight. Aaron’s out of breath from the act, and his hair’s a mess. He falls to his knees, looking for approval. Tell him he did a good job, Tobin.

@/nomoshobia on twt ONCE AGAIN knocked it out of the park with this commission of my OCs Aaron and Tobin. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

I am so charmed by how tumblr-esque dorothy l sayers' way of expressing her fondness for her hero is. she truly was spinning that guy around in an anachronistic microwave and chewing on him and beating him with hammers and biting him biting him biting him and so on with the greatest affection imaginable fr fr. she may have been vastly more articulate and educated than I'll ever dream of being and I respect her writing skill immensely, but blorbo brain recognizes blorbo brain across the ages too. she literally starts out at 'he's like a little worm ❤️in a top hat :)' and only keeps going from there and it's glorious. tell me that descriptions like 'he looked, with his long, narrow face, like a melancholy adjutant stork', 'true, he is all nerves and nose --' and 'he was a colourless shrimp of a child' are not in the same literary tradition as, if removed in time from, the modern tumblr idiom for blorbo appreciation. you can't. I'm right about it. anyone can give their hero hard grey eyes and ptsd but it takes tumblrina instincts to also repeatedly liken him to a bewildered heron

Truly I hate to do this to you all but; you can watch all the videos and read all the blogs in the world but you cannot learn to sew without at some point picking up a piece of fabric and fucking it up. No tutorial exists that will stop you at some point ruining this poor piece of cloth. The visceral act of holding a project and wondering where you went wrong is the only way to learn sewing; you cannot escape it. I’m sorry

the episode "move along home" is great because it shows how truly insufferable a society ruled by gamers would be

the dynamic between two people who love a third person so much and come to understand each other because of that is so important to me. you would put them first, and so would i. you understand why we have to save them from themself. i trust you with their life, and so, that means more than if i trusted you with mine. the love doesn't have to be the same, but it's powerful enough that you understand why you're not the only satellite drawn into their orbit.

I love how Bashir just refuses to acknowledge or appease authority he doesn’t respect. He goes to see Tain, an extremely dangerous retired spymaster of whom he is explicitly asking a favour, and is as impertinent as possible throughout the meeting and doesn’t even try to hide his contempt when Tain says he wants Garak to suffer for the rest of his life. He gets chucked in solitary confinement while in a Dominion prison for protesting the guards cutting rations. And he snarks off Sloan while getting interrogated. He always puts honour and principles above self-preservation even when the consequences are or could be dire.

i wish i could remember who made the recommendation to "make a list of all the different ways someone could feel about a topic in your fictional setting and then make each of them a character" because it is a great technique and is also extremely fun
