In November we're reading...

The Small Guest House, by @oneblueumbrella

Greg never expected John and Sherlock to get married - but now it's happening, and there's a whole lot more to it than a quick nip down to the registry office. He's going to have to work through his own wedding issues, negotiate a long weekend at the Holmes family estate, and figure out how to manage spending a lot more time than usual with Mycroft Holmes. Plus, all his shirts have cufflinks and he's never really been sure how to fasten those properly. It's going to be a big weekend.

We'll read this fic over 3 weekends, 13-20-27 November, at 19.00 London time. I you want to discuss this fic, please DM for an invite.

This is such a random question, but how would you describe Frank and Eddie's house? Is it a big one, decent sized? I wonder how they decorate the little kiddos room once they get him!

Okay okay but actually I think about this ALL the time

Because I never pictured Frank with a house. I always pictured this little apartment because they live in the city n stuff. Like the whole exposed brick walls kinda vibe but it’s incredibly small and I wanna draw it once I have a moment. But that’s where Frank lives. It’s all the space he needs for one person and whatever shitty landlord he has doesn’t really come for inspections so it’s pretty easy to hide all the murder junk when he needs to

Eddie on the other hand also has an apartment but I feel like it’s a little larger. Which like doesn’t necessarily match their jobs early on but hear me out

Frank is the type to make pretty good money and not buy really big and expensive things. Like his clothing is his nicest stuff aside from purchasing things for murders. Eddie on the other hand doesn’t selfishly spend or anything but he puts in a lot of money towards his living space to make it really comfy

Clara squeezes in a last minute nap before their annual New Years party. It's going to be a smaller party this year, in the interest of not crashing the game simplicity, just her siblings, the kids, and their spouses.

...I thought all the kids would be here, anyway, but the twins and Theo bailed, lol. That's fair, Chiana and Theo have a small child to take care of, and Gaius is probably looking for someone to kiss at midnight. Ah well, everyone else is here!

I'm also not sure what George is complaining about to Mara-Jade, but she is having NONE of it.

AU where after the events of portal 2 chell becomes a homeowner but she comes back and moves glados in with her so she won't have to suffer alone at the facility. Except like, she doesn't transfer her to a smaller body, she just hangs the entire chassis from the ceiling (glados insists on never being out of her body again). The upside to having a live-in supercomputer plugged into her house is that she manages the building's power and appliances (like a souped up Alexa but like....NOT a cop), and keeps a damn good house, but the downside is the power company keeps asking her why she's the only house on the block consuming like 10x the electricity of all the others and she keeps having to give them excuses so they don't come investigate

If everyone in the menagerie AU is in separate enclosures, how do they Talk? Dp they have one of those string-and-cup phones?

it's kinda like those old-timey carnival zoos? When they're in their cages, they're relatively close together, positioned along a path in the manor gardens. While all five can't necessarily have a conversation, they can at least speak to their neighbors

mr valdove. how r you so nice also i might be sent after you next so like heads up lol -@little-so1diers

It's really not a low bar to not be a dick to children. Also, are you sure? I don't think that any reasonable governing warlord would send a single child soldier up against a centuries old demon from another world. It's poor battle planning.

making gene’s house in animal crossing is so interesting,,,, the front part where he has brunch with lys sometimes is decently tidy, a normal kitchen with an espresso machine and a toaster and a rice cooker, of course paperwork stacked neatly on the table, a world map and a bulletin board, a photo of him with the other Champions and one of him with his family,,,, there are two lamps and an air conditioner that I didn’t realize were there and I moved a hallway to make more sense. there are sticky notes all over his fridge because of course there are 🥲

what’s also interesting is that he has two cabinets with League papers and reference books, but also two with various tchotchkes -- where did he get them?? what kinds of things does he collect -- are they things that he just got as gifts or did they come with the house?

also, now that I’ve filled the yard and house with plants (for his grass-type starters), I considered giving him a little pond outside -- and then remembered that the ocean is literally his backyard. there is so much water there.

EDIT: OH MY GOD...... OF COURSE HE HAS BOWLING ALLEY CARPET IN HIS ROOM. HE WOULD 😔😔😔

rrrgggggahhhh I watched Barbie, which probably will be remembered as the best big movie of the decade, and left with a migraine and the thought that it “was really fun but too clumsy in its messaging and themes.” And today I watched Emesis Blue, a fucking horror movie fan animation of Team Fortress 2, and found it so beautiful that I’m laying in the dark just thinking about the kickass themes and symbollism….. IT’S SO GOOD??????????

i went to rainbow's end yesterday & a kid (about 10-12) stopped walking & openly pointed at me & laughed & called out to her mother 'WOAH!! what's WRONG with him???' like. i hate the general public. my sister told her to mind her own business & i told her mother to teach her child some manners. neither of them responded & the mother acted like she didn't notice. what the fuck

[dilfpassing]

one day im gonna live in my own house with my own yard and my own decorations and my own furniture and my own kitchen and surround myself with only the people i want to be with and i’ll be able to sit on my porch and watch the sunrise and the sunset and the seasons come and go and things will be better

Feeling a lil vindictive, a lil nasty this morning

So context, my brother had a work do last night and before he left he told my mum he'd becoming back here and doing so alone. So tell me why he called me at 3am when I'm trying to sleep but travel anxiety and says he's bringing two mates back? I tell him he can't I'm leaving at 6 tomorrow he just goes yeah they'll just be passing through your room. No I've gotta get up in 3 hours you can't be keeping up, yeah it's fine. The fuck it is not

Anyway so my alarm goes off 3 hours later I've barely slept, my brain already woke me up several times prior but that doesn't mean I'm turning my alarms off immediately or getting ready quietly after the prick disturbed my sleep
