#the bidding room

Outside "The Bidding Room"
Ricochet, who make The Bidding Room for BBC1, have been expanding their portfolio. The usual dealers have been taken to fresh fields and pastures new.
In The Great Antiques Challenge, two of the dealers try to buy things that will meet the requirements from a member of the public. Who will complete the sale, and who will be left with hanging dragon lanterns?
And at The Vintage French Farmhouse, our team buy it in person, photograph it somewhere nice, and sell it online.
Both shows are very low-stakes. A winner is declared, but the bulk of the interest comes from the journey - seeing things, improving them, and the art of the sale.

it's looking more and more likely that just submitting to my parents' will and becoming a hollow empty shell to do their bidding is the easier way to exist
#like moving out into my own place and doing things for myself at my own pace? in this economy? yeah no#even tho this house has severe water damage and mold issues and the heating system is too old and broken#and there are no more replacement parts/options to repair if anything breaks again#and the structure is overall kinda shit and my parents are here and i only get a small room#and my parents are here. and i gotta pay rent a similar amount to what i'd have to pay for my own apartment. and my parents are here#but it is what it is. it is what it is. screw being myself. screw my individuality. been struggling with getting a proper grasp on it anyway#screw it all. empty shell to do their bidding empty shell to do their bidding empty shell to do their bidding

Anytime I start to feel guilty about being lazy I like to remind myself that physiologically and mentally speaking, the lives that humans live nowadays is nearly incompatible with how we’re meant to live and attain fulfillment
#Im supposed to be gathering berries all day and occasionally chasing down prey animals#Not standing in a cold room for 8 hours every day only to give 80% of my wages to the dickhead who owns my tiny square of living space#It sucks that we're so societally conditioned to think a certain way that I even feel guilty at all#About skipping work/self quarantining in a bid to avoid getting covid. lol#malhare.txt

just occured to me that datv!ashara is around the same age her mother was when she turned into a despair abomination and died lol
#oc: ashara#this insight is a glass of water on a coffee table and i am a bored unruly cat#ive always had caitriona balfe as my hc for numina (her mother) but now ASHARA is old enough for that faceclaim . hm.#i think ill keep her original fc even tho i barely even saw her as charlene weiss to begin with either#but i do love the idea of her covering up all the mirrors in her rooms because she looks too much like her mother#and not just her face but her whole life. the mental illness. the alienation. the devotion/sacrifice/love for a man who will never return i#the grief of abandonment <3 lmao <3#so much of ashara's prickly personality was a front in a desperate bid to avoid becoming her mother#and yet here we are. pov i am my mothers child ill love you til my breathing stops i'll love you til you call the cops on me i guess 👍😀👍

there would have been a decent chunk of time there after initially meeting duncan in which meredith would have been so excited about the fact that not only was she being left in charge of the castle for the very first time, but she would also be hosting such an honored guest like him as well. and it's the biggest crime of all that her eagerness went to waste because of somebody's choice of nighttime activities
#howe truly out to ruin everything#can a young lady not be excited to assign her honored guest a worthy room and plan a special dinner for him as well#she can't have any fucking rights howe get a life and let her (politely) bombard the warden w questions over breakfast tomorrow. sick fuck#anyway i'm suffering from chronic cousland crying again what of it#picturing the brief off-screen scene of mere bidding duncan goodnight after showing him to his room and she's near beaming from positivity#cut to mere hours later n she's covered in her own father's blood & rapidly losing the capability of having that youthful excitement again#how fast the night changes etc etc i just woke up but i need a nap#ch: meredith cousland

So I found this innocuous-looking old box with my cosplay things, and I thought that it was just going to be costume pieces or prop parts or something like that.
So I open it up and

How long has this been there and I had no idea? Some of this merch is actually really old? and even rare/hard to find? and like?? HOW LONG HAVE I JUST HAD THIS WHOLE BOX AND NOT EVEN REMEMBERED? EVERYTHING IS STILL ALL SEALED NOTHING IS EVEN OPEN?? ?
#SOME OF THESE ARE BLIND BAGS#I DIDN'T EVEN OPEN THE BLIND BAGS?#WHAT THE FUCK WAS I ON#DID I JUST#BLACK OUT#AND SPEND THE ENTIRE NIGHT ON YAHOO JAPAN AUCTIONS#BIDDING ON EVERY SATAN ITEM I SAW#WAS THIS JUST “ADD TO CART” STRESS THERAPY AND I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT IT#HELP#I DON'T EVEN HAVE ROOM ANY MORE TO DISPLAY ANY OF IT#I NEED TO BUY MORE SHELVES AND DISPLAY STANDS#OH MY GOD

I love that my parents did the thing where they were extremely reluctant to get a new cat and now center their lives around her. I didn't even ask them for a taller cat tree for her. They just had a gift card for Ollie's and were like "I know, new cat tree!"
#although this cat tree was partially a bid to keep her off the furniture#before the tree the tallest thing in the room was a bookshelf#which we really wanted her to stay off

#oc: eyrie kisne#owen plays ffxiv#newly remodeled fc room looks great this is the best picture I’ve got of it#and my friend took this one#there’s a greenhouse area and my friend and I discovered that one Ivy curtains look So Good#and two those along w leather sofas wooden beams Ivy pillars wooden lofts and bars + barstools#are single handedly going to fuel two bids on a new fc house#we have a small in emperym but would like a medium in shirogane or lav beds#i even made a good chunk of change just off of crafting bookcases + lofts + beams#and mats from ShB ex farms#I got a piece of hades auracite and sold it. read the item description and now I’m keeping one#it’s next to the sohm Al blooms and lucent flower from the omnicron quests#which are next to my Mashable worms#y’all ever think about the things in your inventory as stuff the WoL has in their pockets#but I sure do think about the archon loaf in eyrie’s inventory that I’m p sure I got as an EW quest reward

community labels should be as vague as needed.
personal labels should be as specific as wanted.
#queer labels#when labeling groups of people#you must leave room for outliers and edge cases#when labeling yourself#you can be as specific as you want#mogai-style terms are excellent for personal expression#but words like queer and gay and butch#are best used with a vague gesture and a bid for unity

#I bought a thing on ebay and messaged the seller asking about postage cost#he writes back: ah because of brexit it is v expensive to ship to the UK#fully insured and tracked it will be €30#I was like: haha cool no worries. but. insured?#if I sent the same parcel to you in germany without insurance it would cost €7#actually even the most expensive royal mail option with insurance is €12#and he didn't mention anything at all about postage on the listing#when I sell stuff on eBay I put 'royal mail second class or equivalent'#so buyers either know the price or can estimate before bidding#eBay best practice innit#I don't think he's going to budge though#does german have a word for 'wiggle room' (nein gar nicht)#I'll probably end up paying because I cba to argue

I think. That if you live with people. Especially people who cannot close the door at night (bc the cat needs to be able to access her litter box and water) and you NEED NEED NEED WILL DIIIIIE WITHOOOOOUT the tv playing in the LIVING ROOM to help you go to sleep. Well I think you should just go without. Or put on some fucking headphones attached to your laptop. You asshole
#like sorry but you're keeping the only person here with a job awake all fucking night#because we have to hear your laugh tracks and explosions and have our room light up every five minutes#like you're really incapable of ceding even a little bit to other people huh#like I dont even get food bc I wont Invade Ur Space near the kitchen but Ill have 2 stay up all night bc u happen 2 sleep in insane#conditions like. Kay. die#'oh she has an even harder time sleeping without her edibles' well maybe she should have gotten a job when she promised she would! to pay#for her fucking edibles!!#the woman has been like 'wuh wuh you don't contribute' WHO T HE FUCK HAS BEEN BUYING GROCERIES THIS WHOLE TIME DL. HUH. WHO.#DID U THINK LIZA WAS PULLING THEM OUT OF HER ASS AFTER SHE SPENT ALL HER MONEY ON RENT#I spend all day cooped up in my room so you can't complain abt me but even then you're inescapable#I don't exist at all so you can exist like an asshole. cool#<I mean we literally have to make ourselves disappear from the apartment bc SHE REFUSES TO PUT US ON THE LEASE#WE'RE LITERALLY NOT ALLOWED TO EXIST#GOD FOR FUCKING BID WE WANT TO ACTUALLY ENGAGE IN OUR RELATIONSHIP OR *GASP* HAVE SEX
