After S2, we're so starved for content that we'll probably think "mid" is you being too hard on yourself.

EVERYONE photographs both of these btw 😂 Everyone!

I'm trying to be stubborn because the more words I write, the more I do NOT want to go through e.g. changing all the -eds to -ings 😂

I imagine you're going to be in a similar spot in reverse! Good luck with your attempt!

I've made things harder for myself of course by starting ANOTHER fic (for a different fandom) in present tense. Because apparently I'm an idiot.

I'm sorry, I hope you got your groceries 🫂

God I feel that. Any time I need to buy butter or olive oil at the moment I'm a bit... WHY is this so expensive?! 😭😂

Complain as much as you need to in your space, but I hope better things will come your way and the not great things will be banished.

I sometimes see complaints along the lines of, “how am I supposed to predict the Oscars now?” like there hasn’t been wild differences even when the nominees mostly match for many award cycles now.

It’s more fun this way.

And I don’t mean Emma Stone is bad (she’s great) - I just thought both lead performance were strong.

BAFTA said no to any acting awards for Frankenstein. I was kinda annoyed with Oscar Isaac getting overlooked tbh but I get the Best Actor categories are kinda stacked this year.

Jesse Plemons getting a BAFTA nod feels like it makes up for the AA snub a bit because imo he carries Bugonia.

I’m not trying to flex, I genuinely wanted to read “proper” adult books by the time I was nearing the end of primary school. That’s just the reality for me.

It was a lovely way to spend a couple of hours. Very chilly day, but we wanted to keep taking photos so I powered through my toes being a wee bit cold!

This is one of my favourite pieces of yours and I love getting a glimpse of how you brought it all together.

It seems to vary by author in the Saurondriel tags. I seem to hardly get them, whereas I know ReyJakesTherapist had LOADS on her last update for some reason :/

I'm sorry, it really sucks, and it feels like it happens almost as soon as you hit post too.

Sounds like someone didn't like either being called out, or not getting as much attention anymore because someone else came along, or people got tired of her shit and didn't engage as much, or maybe a combination of all three!

I would too!

(Any time I get weird pains in my face and head I freak out a bit because my dad had a lot of sinus/blood pressure issues in his 40-50s!)

Honestly, having had a 10+ year tradition of watching the ads on my husband's Mac the next (late) morning while we order a Subway for brunch... I think we do get the better deal with the pundits yapping away at 1:30am.
