got another little exhibition in October so I’m back in the lino mines - rubbing my knuckles raw, causing unneeded back pain by hunching, slipping while cutting and causing untold damage to the design of the print and also to myself and my fingers
and it’s ALL my fault ! (I do these on my lap with a placemat to keep the surface flat)

the doctor arrives in the middle of a warzone and says: “give it time, everywhere’s a beach eventually” . and suddenly his inconceivable age becomes evident: he’s more of a geological process than a man. erosion is an inevitability
the gentle tide will lap at the landmines on the sand and smooth them into seaglass. no conflict lasts. that profoundly alien, eternal perspective demonstrated in just one line — ruby realises this person has seen everything and knows better than any of us that in the end all is sand and water and story and stillness
as you’ve probably already figured out, this is from BOOM. once again moffat appreciators how are we doing this fine evening

My great 1899 regret (aside, of course, from the obvious) is that we never had Welsh language scenes between Daniel and Elliot.
Aneurin Barnard and Fflyn Edwards are, as far as I know, the only cast members never to speak their first language in their roles. It is still relatively unusual to hear Welsh accents in British media; I don’t recall ever hearing a Welsh accent in non-British media up until 1899. It would have been still more refreshing to hear Welsh being spoken in a non-British production.
And besides (though this is re. The Crown):

Yuhh so Sabolaw but Sabo is aromantic?
(I'm so sorry if I depicted being aromantic inaccurately! I read 1 article and 1 reddit thread so please correct me on anything!! But back to the narrative!!)
These two idiots first meet in medical school and even though they only knew each other for at most two months before Sabo dropped out, they knew that they were soulmates. They just click in a way even they don't understand.
They find it easy to stare out into the sunset and not say anything. Sabo felt comfortable leaning on Law's shoulder and asking him—a diehard doctor/surgeon—if medicine is right for him.
Law, in turn, would reassure his silly blonde friend that he would succeed no matter where he went. It was a matter of deciding where he wanted to go, when and how. Law was the one to fill in Sabo's drop-out form, except Sabo's signature and press send on the email.
Post Sabo dropping out and swapping degrees, their favourite activity is sending little letters to each other's dorm rooms in university. They write these really long letters detailing how their week went and whatever they find interesting.
Sabo would go on about his new degree and Law would bitch about his uncle. They could just as easily text each other, but they would rather not use their phones too often. Besides, they found letter-writing intimate. It forced Law to keep his handwriting neat.
At first, Sabo thought it was a romantic sort of crush. It was nice because it was the first time he felt such warmth for someone. When Sabo told Ace this, Ace noticed something a bit... not romantic.
He asked if Sabo wanted to kiss Law and touch him sexually and Sabo immediately said no. He got heart flutters whenever Law wrote back but they were not exclusive? It's the same heart flutters when he attended Luffy's highschool graduation or when he picked up an autographed copy of his favourite writer's book... Hmm.
It really is not personal. Sabo tried to reason. Sabo never had crushes on anyone and personally found the concept rather silly. People fall in love? He knew a good working relationship needed more than just that but why did everyone focus so much on... What? Love?
Sabo doesn't get it. He thinks it's strange but he would be upset if Law rejected him. At a certain point, Law said he was pursuing a relationship with someone and Sabo did not feel jealous or scorned or anything like that, really.
"Will we still be friends?" Sabo blurts out. They meet up occasionally. They text for that.
"Why, of course," Law replies easily. "A relationship's just one part of it. It just means I have more to write about in our letters, beyond my uncle and Sora."
"That's good."
Law pouted.
"I mean our letters!" Sabo clarified. Law huffed. Law really hated his uncle and loved Sora and he was afraid Sabo thought he was boring. "Please don't ignore me! I'm sorry for the mixup! Law!"
But on a more serious note, Sabo found that reassertion of friendship more reassuring than he thought it would.
Sabo very confidently concluded the thing he's feeling is a platonic crush. He needed to workshop what it means but he liked the way it sounded at least. It has the intensity of feeling but also complete lack of romance he feels towards Law.
It wasn't romantic but Sabo cared about Law. Law was up there on the list of people Sabo considered important, second to himself and brothers. Sabo valued Law's opinion, not just of his personal character but of everything in general. Law's happiness was his own.
So it damn near devastates Sabo to see that one day, long after graduation when they started working...
It started with an unreplied text. And then an unreplied letter. And then a growing pile of unreplied letters...
They still met up. Law was busy, Sabo knew. Being a doctor was busy enough but a surgeon? Insanity. There was a reason why he dropped out of medical school!! But Sabo supposes something is wrong.
Law looked away more, almost to the point where they barely looked each other in the eye nowadays. Sabo knew Law still listened to him but he would suddenly blush, get jumpy and fuss over stupid things. Sabo wished he knew how to comfort his distressed friend, his precious soulmate whom he would do anything for.

listen to me. i love tommy. if tommy was around forever, i would love tommy. but i hope buck and tommy break up, and here's why: buck is a baby bi. he's fresh out of the closet. he clearly likes this guy and the feeling is mutual, however, i think its very plausible that somewhere down the line buck will start feeling stagnated. tommy is the first and only guy he's ever been with. tommy is caring and sexy and patient, but he's still the first and only guy buck's ever been with. he might start feeling the need to explore what this new facet of himself means in relation to only him, and to do that, maybe he needs to be single for a while. the breakup doesn't have to be nasty- riddled with infidelity or ooc personality changes- it could be an honest and open conversation that ends with "hey, you never know. maybe we'll find our way back to each other one day." if his journey as a single man exploring his newfound identity ends with tommy? great. love it. if it ends with eddie? also love it. if it ends with buck choosing himself? still great. as long as buck is happy, im happy for him, i just think some further growth down the line might be something he needs.

Actually, it would be so funny if bd ended with the Suwa organisation being disbanded. Incredibly powerful crime family with probably at least a couple hundred years of history, nobility in their field in a way, come to an end because of a four-year-old and a couple of guys being a bit too queer
