London Living: Finding Your Perfect, Affordable Abode
London, a dazzling metropolis pulsating with history, culture, and infectious energy, entices those seeking an extraordinary adventure. But for newcomers, the initial hurdle can often be securing a place to live without breaking the bank. Fear not, budget-savvy explorers! London offers a delightful selection of shared flats that are both kind to your wallet and surprisingly enchanting.
The Enchantment of Shared Living
Shared accommodation transcends merely splitting the rent. It's a gateway to a pre-built social circle. Imagine evenings filled with swapping travel tales with housemates from around the world, or cozy nights in enjoying a home-cooked meal together. Many shared flats boast communal living areas, fostering a sense of camaraderie and the chance to forge lasting friendships.
Unearthing Your Ideal Locale
London boasts a diverse tapestry of neighborhoods, each exuding its own charm. History buffs, set your sights on a flat near the vibrant East End, with its labyrinthine cobbled streets and close proximity to iconic landmarks like the Tower Bridge. Craving artistic energy? Immerse yourself in the creative spirit of Camden Town, where vintage shops and eccentric cafes abound. Those seeking a more tranquil escape can explore verdant suburbs like Hampstead or Richmond, offering a delightful balance between city life and leafy havens.
Websites to the Rescue
Several websites specialize in connecting potential flatmates with shared accommodation options. SpareRoom and EasyRoommate are popular choices, allowing you to filter listings based on your budget, preferred location, and even the personalities of your future housemates (yes, some listings even describe the flat's current residents!). Facebook groups dedicated to London flat-sharing are another goldmine, offering a more personal touch and the chance to connect directly with potential housemates.
Affordability with a Dash of Panache
Who says budget-friendly has to be boring? Many shared flats in London boast a surprising level of character. Period features like exposed brickwork or Victorian fireplaces can add a touch of grandeur. Some even reside in charming converted buildings, steeped in history and offering a unique living experience.
Tips for a Seamless Transition
Before diving in, it's wise to communicate openly with potential housemates about expectations and living habits. Discuss chores, guest policies, and noise levels to ensure a harmonious co-existence. Embrace the local flavor by exploring your neighborhood's hidden gems - independent cafes, quirky bookstores, or lively local markets. Remember, shared accommodation is a journey, and with a little effort, you can transform your flat into a warm and welcoming London home.
So, cast aside anxieties about exorbitant rents! With a little research and an open mind, you can unearth your perfect, affordable, and undeniably enchanting shared flat, ready to become the launchpad for your unforgettable London adventure.

compiling a far from comprehensive list of palestinian fundraisers i'm aware of that are far from their goal (less than 25% raised) and/or stagnating. i will try to update this post at least every couple days - please check the op for updates.
if you can donate at least USD $15 (€14, CAD $20, kr160, £12) and dm me proof, i'll offer a colored sketch commission akin to these drawings (more details here). [EDIT: not accepting new donation comms at the moment until i've worked through my backlog; check back in a week or two!]
even if you're not able to donate that much or at all, please share, and follow the links to the fundraisers - there's much more important information for each one than i'm able to quickly compile into one list.

Tom Taylor gets a lot of flak for his Cregan Stark, but I will maintain that his initial awkardness with Jace that gradually became more friendly was a great call. If you imagine Cregan as this hardass experienced warrior, of course you'll be disappointed. But if you're like me who imagines him as stressed young lord who's trying very hard not to show that he's stressed and young, Tom Taylor got it down pat.
Jace and Cregan start off as two lordlings playing politician by reciting stilted, rehearsed lines at each other and as they keep talking, their dynamic gradually shifts into something more personable and vulnerable. From noblemen trying to out-diplomat each other to bros who realize the other may also be struggling with this whole governance thing, basically. Cregan realizes from this dude's incorrect knowledge of Torrhen Stark that he's way out of his depth and legit needs help, so uh... I can't leave because winter but I have these greybeards if you'll have them. The scene starts with posturing and flaunting dynastic legacies, and when they get up the Wall, there's the admission that yeah, both our hands our tied and we don't actually have a lot of power to spare, mythical ancestors and monologues on duty regardless.
Then there's Taylor's microexpressions when he reads the raven.
The slight lip quiver? Dude only had 4 minutes but by god, I loved his performance.
Also can I talk about the face? The deviated septum? The strong brow that makes him look like he's always slightly angry? All that while still having a babyface? Perfect casting imo.
