When you read the word 'live' do you immediately mind-speak it rhyming with give or jive (like 70's disco dance)?

THE DRAFT IS DONE! The long fic I have been working on has finally been completed pending edits of course. It came in just shy of 56k. I will probably post some teasers in the time leading up to the date of it's release on April 25th as part of the Thorin Spring Forge (TSF) collection.

And now I can get back to the lovely prompts that you all have sent me the last few months and a few new gif sets to boot! 🥰🥰

Never stop posting about fandoms you love and never stop looking into new fandoms to explore :)

Reblog if its ok to spam you with boops

Why is Opera music so slept on?? Where is more???

I just had the most mind-scrunching, toe-curling, eye-drenching, stomach-dropping experience as I listened to the climax of "Un bel dì vedremo"

Anyway, opera recommendations - they may be basic but don't be a snob add your own instead. Also only partial title because they can be too long for me to type out.

Puccini: Madama Butterfly, Act 2: "Un bel dì vedremo"

Barcacolle (the one with the lady's face on the cover)

Celia: Adriana Lecouvreur, Act 1: "Ecco, respiro appena...."

Puccini: La boheme, Act 3: "Donde lieta usci al tou...."

Les Contes d'Hoffmann, Act 3: "Belle nuit, o nuit d'amour"

The Flower duet (you'll probably recognise this one)

Yes, I do have a Maria Callas bias. Listen to her songs though, she has pipes.

halflings love their new giant children

genuinely one of the saddest parts of this new era of the internet is how hard it is to rick roll someone now. with people's attention spans shortening so much, they wouldn't even get through the first few bait seconds before clicking off the video. like i saw a comment that ended with "btw i made all of this up" and the replies kept treating it so seriously because none of them finished the entire 4 sentence comment. and We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I (do I) A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Out of your element

the most #UselessLesbian thing i have ever done was when i was trying to figure out if this girl liked me or not, just constantly arguing with myself about it, and after a couple, uh, months, of this, i was like, “god i wish i could just like… go to court and lay out all this evidence and have a couple lawyers argue over the TRUE MEANING of her text messages, and then a judge tells me if she likes me or not.” and then the proverbial lightbulb went off over my proverbial head, and i dug into my mock trial folder from high school and found the trial guidelines and i wrote out an entire trial transcript featuring a plaintiff (me), my attorney (my wildest hopes and dreams), a defense attorney (my worst fears and insecurities), and a judge (my desperate attempt at rationality). the final product was several thousand words long. it clarified nothing. at any point in this process did it occur to me to ask her how she felt about me? absolutely not. did i ever stop and think, “hey, maybe i should tell her that i like her?” absolutely not. that’s for people who take risks and i don’t take risks i take myself to court in my own head.
