okay give me them show recommendations!!!

OMG YAYYY OKAY !!!!

heartbreak high (2022) - it's an australian tv show which has the BEST representation i have seen in a very long time, it has aboriginal rep, lgbtq rep including ace rep and also autistic rep !!! i really think everyone should watch it !!!!

sense8 - another one that has incredible lgbtq rep !!! it is a beautiful story surrounding found family and connection and i am still so Angry that netflix cancelled it 😭

the bear - i feel like most people have seen this already but my GOD it is a fucking amazing show, i went into it thinking i wasn't going to like it and it quickly became a show that changed me as a person hahaha

poker face - i haven't seen enough people talking about this show !!! a rian johnson and natasha lyonne slayyyyy !!! if you haven't watched this arwen i would highly recommend it bc it's got murder mysteries in each episode alongside the main storyline which is also a mystery !!!!

russian doll - speaking of natasha lyonne, russian doll also changed me as a person, it's a beautiful story which is told so so well and has some amazing characters !!!!

everything now - this show only has one season but i feel like it's such an important story which doesn't get told enough in media !!! the main character has an eating disorder and it's basically her healing journey after coming out of in patient treatment (obviously tw for eating disorders if you are gonna watch that one !)

feel good - this is basically a show about mae martin's life experiences but oh my godddd it was so good and i related to it more than i thought i was going to !!! if you like mae martin as a comedian and haven't seen it i would highly recommend it

call the midwife - i haven't watched the newest season yet but OMLLL this show is so beautiful and does an excellent job at writing meaningful characters and storylines !!! i watch the show with my mum and it means a lot to me 🥺

⚠️ somewhat nsfw

okay i have an Agenda™ fr so i'm biased but. ppl talking about how arthur loves it when people can beat him, physically or verbally - merlin, gwen, lancelot - then saying that this means he's a sub or a bottom? just. like. you've got a point. you're so right but also so wrong. merlin would probably dom the hell out of his royal ass, because merlin is absolutely fucking insane (which is, of course, the defining trait of a dom 🤡), but gwen and lance? nah... they out-sub him tbh. i think arthur loves the idea that someone could beat him in some respect. that lance can best him in a fight and gwen will put him in his place if necessary. he loves that they can, but... won't? they'll hand over control despite that. they'll let him take care of them despite the fact that they aren't weak at all. the man is surrounded by deferential, obsequious people, and has been all his life. he literally entered a tournament anonymously so no one would go easy on him. people like merlin, gwen, and lance are a much-needed breath of fresh air. but... that doesn't make him a sub. if anything, the man's got a thing for brats (*cough* merlin *cough*) and strong ppl relinquishing control. like damn i love me a bit of merlin domming the hell out of arthur but. brat!merlin? a serve. and gwen and lance? absolute babies. badasses, but babies nonetheless. not a chance. also it's worth mentioning that frenemies with benefits arwaine would switch bc. they just would.

idk someone with dark hair topping someone with light hair just feels wrong to me now. i have been conditioned by yaoi manga 😔

So I’m in the tail end of whatever bug I’ve currently got but my nose still feels like it’s full of wet cement

And when I talk I sound like Pootle from The Flumps (if I try to say ‘mine’ it sounds like ‘bide’)

But I’ve also made some more scarves and once I’m no longer unwell, they’re going to the local clothing bank in the centre of town

I gave my wardrobe a massive clearout as well, so I’ve got about 5 other bags’ worth of clothes to give away too

It’ll come in pretty handy since inflation is rising again and we’re also having a cold snap so yeah I wanna make sure everyone’s wrapped up warm and generally has something nice to wear while being on a low budget

I got some of my favourite clothes from clothing banks and learned to make some of my favourite meals from foodbank parcels so I really wanna give something back to the community that made that possible, you know? It might be cold atm, but I’m surrounded by some of the warmest people I’ve ever met, that includes all the friends I’ve made on tumblr too 💖

Hope you’re all doing well and I shall keep you posted 👍

Okay sleepover questions.

Tell me about 5 of your tumblr crushes and why they’re so amazing to you.

Also, what kind of books do you like to read? Romance? Mystery? And do you have a book you love recommending to people?

to be completely honest i don't really understand the concept of a tumblr crush BUT if this is an opportunity to brag about how amazing my friends are i will happily oblige! i will endeavor to limit myself to only 5 people, and for those of you reading this whom i did NOT mention my sincere apologies and please know that i love you anyway. i am going to list them below a cut and put my book recs first just so this post isn't fifty miles long lol.

let's talk books! i will read just about anything i can get my hands on, but my favorite genres are urban fantasy, mystery, and historical. i don't read a lot of contemporary books that are only romance with nothing else, but i love jane austen and shakespeare. i also ADORE genre-melding, eg the seven deaths of evelyn hardcastle by stuart turton, which is a sci-fi 1920s murder mystery.

my top 7 favorite books of all time- i originally was going to do five but realized i also would recommend 6 and 7 to literally everyone i know- which i would absolutely recommend to everyone, are:

the book thief by markus zusak (historical; coming-of-age of a german girl during wwii as her foster family hides a jewish man in their basement. this book should make you SOB)

the sweetness at the bottom of the pie by alan bradley (historical mystery; 11-year-old aspiring chemist solves murders in 1950s england)

murder on the orient express by agatha christie (historical mystery; a passenger is found dead on a snow-trapped train. basic premise but i am not exaggerating when i say that this book reinvented the murder mystery genre)

six of crows by leigh bardugo (high fantasy heist; six teenagers are recruited to break a chemist out of prison in order to stop- or maybe start- a magical war)

if we were villains by ml rio (mystery; a shakespeare student at a performing arts conservatory is found dead and his classmates try to decide if they want his killer to be caught)

code name verity by elizabeth wein (historical; a spy and a pilot during wwii are sent on a mission that only one returns from. holy SHIT this book is plot-twisty)

good omens by neil gaiman and terry pratchett (urban fantasy; an angel and a demon team up to stop the 11yo antichrist from starting armaggedon)

sleepover asks!!!

(read on for me gushing about my friends!)

@tellthemhowihope NINA MY SCIENCE SISTER MY RECENT OVERGRAD LIGHT OF MY LIFE!!! nina is one of the sweetest funniest and most brilliant people i know (she is a scientist!!!) and it always makes my day to exchange doctor who memes, cute animal pictures, and souffle recipes with her. throwback to the time she cut off a foot of her hair on impulse and one of our mutual mutuals thought she cut off her foot... the good old days...

@wespers aka tuser weepers... jamie is one of my oldest mutuals and i am so so grateful she's in my life! she has the market cornered on beautiful pale gifsets, is my go-to for book recs, has excellent opinions on just about everything, and actually gets around to consume all the content i bully her into consuming (see: knives out, hadestown, the book thief...). ily jamie you're not beating the theatre kid allegations any time soon. i am also planning to think of something else to bully you into reading/watching/listening to shortly. what about into the woods have you listened to into the woods before. or little shop of horrors. i think you'd vibe with both of them.

@gracelcdomas is another very old and dear friend and is my murdoch mysteries and knives out buddy for LIFE. milo is one of the most upbeat people i know, and i love chatting to them about just about anything. also am ETERNALLY grateful that they will always send me an ask if i rb an ask game. get yourself friends who will enable you to rant about yourself for fun online.

@jewish-mulder- hi anna! a relatively more recent mutual of mine but one who can always be counted on to have the most correct x-files opinions, and is also a very talented screenwriter! i hope my incoherent x-files liveblog as i watch the show for the first time brings them joy, because i always love reading their little replies to my comments.

and last but certainly not least @anakinskyiwalker, who might actually be my very first mutual? ashlyn has always been such a constant and kind presence in my fandom experience and i adore her to bits.

(other people i love and cherish who deserve shoutouts: @iloveuspiderman @eohwyyn @heroeddiemunson @laowen @faithinthefuturedeluxe @angela-bassetts @danielsousa @billhaders @elliewillaims @karmas @trashcora and @clayfaced SAM WHEN WILL YOU RETURN FROM THE WAR I MISS YOU)

re your tags on that poll did you mean: wild blue yonder (2023)

yeah exactly but before the not-things got all weird and creepy. Also amy and clara whenever they came across their doppelgängers!

(also hope you're doing well! It feels like i haven't talked to you in forever!!)

Pom!!! What can you tell us about “the empty lands where no men are”? 👀💜

HOHOHO YOU HAVE RISEN TO THE CHALLENGE!

i can tell you it's a boromir lives amnesia fic where aragorn is so polyamorous he cries

a while ago i was fantasizing about like, the boromir-arwen side of the love triangle and decided i thought their dynamic could be incredible (two chivalrous courtly lovers who bond over their destiny-riddled third half) so i give arwen plenty of time in the spotlight in that fic as well

as for boromir and aragorn, they are as dramatic as ever

“There was- kingsfoil, that’s the name, kingsfoil in the arrow-wounds,” Boromir continued. “... I expect that was the work of the King. He was a ranger in the realm where Arnor once stood, isn’t that right? A ranger’s knowledge of medicine.”

“To use athalas on wounds is an elven remedy,” Arwen told him. “Before Aragorn was a ranger, he lived in Rivendell among elves for many years.”

Boromir watched Aragorn for a while. “I do not know why,” he said, “but that seems to explain some things about him.”

“Indeed,” Arwen agreed. “Continue about Lórien, please.”

i'm still not sure whether i'll finish this one as i've hit a tough spot in it, but i love the concept so much that i can't bear to delete it - boromir my babygirl for real

thank you sm for the ask btw! maybe i will send you one after i have a nap to recover from this wretched sickliness
