simp, oliver wood edition
He wants to listen to Percy talk about a million and one things. Oliver is watching Percy softly, too softly, too tenderly...
Oliver is overtaken by a burning desire to snog Percy senselessly and study every inch of him, even right now, when it is far from an appropriate time or place.

one thing i really like about the apothecary diaries is how fluidly maomao moves between high- and low-class society, between the rear palace and the pleasure district, allowing us to see the parallels in the power dynamics. in both settings, we see women trying to make the most of their relative stations with whatever tools available to them, which are often shared. much of the politics of the series centers women and the ways they try to navigate the world through seduction, marriage, beauty, fashion, manipulation, etc, because these are the things they're valued for. their appearance, their social graces, their "purity", their marriageability, their ability to bear children, and beyond - these all lend political, economic, and social leverage to themselves and their families regardless of class.
the mystery angle in particular enables the story to closely examine what tools and motives are available to women in the apothecary diaries in a way that's contextualized and humanized. it's also how the series highlights said women operating with a keen awareness of society's expectations and systems. whether that's applying deathly white powder to maintain impractical beauty standards, faking illnesses to deter certain visitors, using parlor tricks to subtly punish callous men, or wearing ostentatious outfits to hide a certain truth, each mystery we encounter reveals more about what it means to navigate the world of the apothecary diaries as a woman in addition to revealing their cleverness (or lack thereof) in doing so.
maomao is no exception to the rule, often weighing similar questions of propriety and power before she acts - although she does engage from a unique position. she's a literate woman from the lower class with special circumstances surrounding her birth, versed as an apothecary, and favored by highly ranked members of the court. this, plus her marked lack of ambition beyond medicine, gives her a lot of mobility between and (relatively) unbiased insight into both the high- and low-ranked parts of society. in turn, we readers are given a fantastic protagonist to explore what i consider a core draw of the series: seeing how maomao chooses to move through the world, highly conscious of her own social positioning as well as that of all the other women around her

"Sorry, do I know you?"
Instantly, something behind those red eyes shatters. The stranger's hand stills, and for a moment, time ceased to exist. Inside, you see blood welling from the cracks, a healed heart cut open once more. His mouth opens and closes, again and again, but no words find his tongue.
Your heart squeezes. Already, you want to take your words back, to throw away all reason and embrace this stranger and tell him that everything is alright. But your body refuses to move, frozen on the empty street.
You don't know this man.
That is something you know for sure. No matter how much your heart may weep, no matter how badly it screams at you to comfort the white-haired stranger, to love him, you yourself have no recollection of him.
And so you stand there, staring at the man you've forgotten.
"I..."
He stutters. He hesitates. He curls back, back into his shell. You don't know why, but you hate the tears forming in his eyes, glistening like pools of water.
Your hand reaches towards him, but you pull it back.
"I'm sorry." You step back.
He shakes his head, his gaze dropping. "Don't... Don't be. I should be the one apologizing."
Despite his calm facade, his voice quivers. His shoulders shake, trembling like a leaf in the autumn wind. Again, your heart screams, twisting at the mere sound of him.
"No, it's okay," you say, your voice soft in an attempt to ease his worries. "That person, they must mean a lot to you."
Broken eyes meet yours once more.
"They... were everything."
You can't help but think he meant to say something else.
Bleeding red burns into your irises, expecting something, anything that would indicate - even by the smallest bit - that "you" were still there.
But you could never give him what he wanted.
You try for a smile. "Well, I hope you find them."
He doesn't answer to that. Grief swirls in his eyes in a whirlpool of mourning, trying to pull you into them, trying to pull you back.
But something keeps you from diving in.
Your feet move on their own. By the time you finally come to, you've already left him.

A coworker and I bonded over mutual Good Omens obsession. She sends me fanfiction to read, and I send her fanart. We are so hyped to talk about the show, but we are also REALLY busy. SO we set up actual meetings every week on our actual work calendars to block out time and rooms at the office to talk.
But I gotta show you the names of our meetings.
This was the first one that I very hurriedly made:
Tumblr media
Nothing special, but very non-suspicious, eh?
… but then I started to get more creative:
Tumblr media
… you feel me? 😏 And once I started with this caper, I couldn’t stop:
Tumblr media
And finally, becauase all we talk about now is smutty fanfic, I settled on these beauties:
Tumblr media
And my favorite:
Tumblr media
…I may have spent more time engineering these meeting titles than doing actual work. Crowley would be proud.
If you have the opportunity to be a mischievous little goblin IRL, please go for it.

Sooooo between @hey-adora and I, this is a thing now. We’ve come up with some interesting lore and some art, so hopefully we have something to share with you soon! (Vidow-focused, most likely, you know us, but all of them are there. Technically.)

i've seen a lot of dp fans in the dpxdc fandom talk about not having access to comics so here. it's completely free, good quality scans (for most things), basically any dc comic you could want is there. you should have an adblocker but the ads aren't the worst if you don't, just noticeable and annoying. you're not gonna get a virus, i've been using the site for years, as have many other fans.
if you genuinely want to read the comics, take advantage of the sites comic fans have been using. there's new and old stuff and everything in between. crossovers too. whatever you want to read, you'll find there.

No because I have struggled with this thought because I don't know if it's pushing the line but I have wondered...
I wonder if he gets off on writing his flirtatious bubble messages?
I wonder if he would jerk off to the smut people have written about him?
Oh dearest, this isn't pushing a line at all!
I often wonder the same thing - whether or not the responses to his flirty texts stroke his ego, the few messages he's able to see giving him a boost while also making his dick chub up a bit, we're so easily bent to his will, after all.
What if he does jerk off to smuts written about him? Getting off to the idealized version of him that we oh so desperately crave to have - comparing the similarities and differences in the descriptions he's given, the fire in his abdomen growing with each "correct" assumption.
What if he stumbles across one that completely captivates him, reading the lines written about him, written for him, before muttering them out to himself - testing them on his own tongue to give them validity. The responses of the reader are sending him closer and closer to his climax, a cacophony of voices running through his head for which would fit the line the best, it's exciting.
Where we would be writing to the imagination of him, he's reading to the imagination of us - the image of one or many, craving him, aching for him, and before he knows it he's coming with a breathless gasp, a soundless name falling from his lips as he paints his fist white.

Happy late pride 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜
I unfortunately did not finish in time for pride month, I spent 3 weeks working on this
It's probably my biggest cross stitch project so far, and my first time working on black aida, and I really like it 🫶
Although... I made some mistakes and my first attempt at framing something in the hoop didn't go too well
Pattern is my own =]
