#EOY

[boleynecklace]

She was beloved by every- one—from the mightiest of diplomats to the lowliest of subjects. During her 17 years as queen, Elizabeth of York was exactly the consort needed by England to help end the ugly, internecine Wars of the Roses. Sometimes, a gracious personality far outweighs the power of the potentate. Elizabeth of York was such a queen. ⎯ Elizabeth of York: Queenship and Power, Arlene Okerlund

[harritudur]

"It is possible that Elizabeth’s cultural influence has been underestimated; the chivalric influence at her husband’s and her son’s court derived from her Burgundian family, and she shared a measure of literary interest with her mother."

What If?

Indulge me in my delusion

[southrobin]

Been busy prepping for EOY, but it’s important to take breaks.

Merry Christmas Eve and Happy Holidays! ✨

[frownyalfred]

So, I didn’t make my goal of updating all of my WIPs by the end of the year.

BUT. I didn’t have a mental breakdown this year (came close tho) and I still managed to write other things.

*cracks knuckles* I’m definitely updating those WIPs soon. working my way down my list. I promise.

Thanks to everyone who commented and messaged me about those fics. Your support keeps me writing and I am so grateful ❤️

[bittersqxtch]

theres not nearly enough EOY content out there, and fics set in the Trumpet Creeper era are really rare. like, that era had so much potential...just look at how cute this grouchy prince is!!

my baby ;^; he's adorable and broken and needs some love and no one is giving him a hug which is upsetting to say at the least.

gosh, I really do have to do everything myself, dont I? *sighs and opens a new word document*

Thanks for the tag @thnxforknowingme!

Instead of spending time writing more sentences, I made a banner for this post. But here are six sentences I already had written! A potential future scene from Echoes of You ;)

And now they’re in Sebastian’s apartment, on his couch, watching a movie, and it’s driving him absolutely mad. He just needs to hear Kurt say it. It doesn’t matter how bad of an idea it is, he needs this. “Kurt?” Kurt looks up at him expectantly from where he’s curled into Sebastian’s side. “What are we doing here?” Sebastian continues when Kurt doesn’t speak.

I'm not sure who else to tag at the moment, but please consider yourself tagged if you want to share something!

2023

Happy New Year! This is the last post here for a little while. We’re off on our Thailand adventure on Saturday and I’m not back until early February. You can follow me on Instagram if you want to follow along. Another year, another wrap up post! I’ve opened some of them on previous years with words like ‘Terrible’. This year I’ll open with…

[rachel-blue]

2023.

Saying this year was rough is an understatement. It's been a hard year for so many people in so many ways and I'm still having difficulty reconciling it all. It's been a year of loss and grief and stress and anxiety and it seems oddly appropriate that I'm wrapping up 2023 sick on the couch.

2023 Highlights:

House Remodeling. We bit off a lot this year, with a half-bath remodel (first major project) and a kitchen remodel (almost done!). This house feels more like us every day and it's rewarding, though time-consuming and expensive. We've replaced all of our kitchen appliances (including installing an over-the-range microwave) and learned how to drywall, how to lay tile, and how to extend our drip sprinkler system. We've also learned how to turn off our water main and that cutting tile is not a skill I'm blessed with.

Cup In Six. Zero regrets about spending an entire bonus (and then some) on the two worst tickets in the stadium so we could be in attendance for a Stanley Cup Finals game (that we won by a good few goals!). Getting to watch the actual Cup winning game from outside the stadium a few days later and be in the midst of an entire crowd singing "We Are The Champions" was absolutely something else. It's been incredible watching this team do what they've done and the way this city has embraced them from day (fucking) one.

Little Free Library. I always wanted to set up a Little Free Library after first encountering them on my first trip to Milwaukee back in 2013. Owning our home (and not having an HOA to deal with) finally gave me the opportunity to do so. It's allowed me to set up something with some Route 66 vibes and also to stock the library with copies of some of my favorite reads (primarily LGBTQ+ YA and children's books). We get a lot of use from the kids in the neighborhood and I'm excited I'm not the only one getting enjoyment from it.

Unraveled. It took me far too many years to evolve my knitting past scarves and the occasional blanket, but learning to knit sweaters and shawls and to appreciate the art ($30 skein price tags and all) of hand-dyed yarn has really enhanced my craft. I've complete multiple sweaters this year and learned to knit cables, and I have a whole collection of yarn and planned patterns in store for the coming months. Next year's goal is to complete my first pair of knit socks.

Continued Travels. Spain, Oakland (x2), Reno/Tahoe, Portland, Denver/Colorado Springs. While the race travels continue to be on pause, there have still been the occasional getaways, mostly brief. I'm being as intentional as I can with making plans to see friends and family. The times come less frequently as the years go, making the moments spent together that much more important.

Books read this year: 103
