#Ootd is this sweet 1775-1785 gown. #ColonialWilliamsburg notes it uses fabric 1725-30 and may have been worn with a stomacher. It was then remade so it had a front closure and the back may have also been altered from a sack back to make it a robe a l'angalise. #Fashionhistory

Celebrity deaths never hit me, but Dolly was not just a celebrity to us. She was a neighbor — not literally, but close. She and my nana grew up in the same town in Tennessee. She sounds like my people. Her stories sound like our’s. To take from my nana today: “We were blessed to have her.”

I love this game actually: Archean, judgy, dragonfish, burner phone, bioterror Not necessarily my vibe BUT words that I very much enjoyed saying while reading my year list 😈

feeling motivated so, the current two projects on my slate. genuinely excited about both of them, and about the other things I’m working on. writing has been hard this year, and last year, but I’m more comfortable with that these days than I used to be.

Posted my 100th fic on Ao3 before going to bed last night, and guess what? It’s the silliest, fluffiest thing I’ve written in months. A man is jealous of a cat. It’s so stupid, I love it so much ONE HUNDRED FICS!

I posted it. No schedule, no guarantee of anything, no rules just right and maybe I’ll actually finish a fic for this fandom for once…

Genuinely thinking about reviving a long long long dead RWRB fic to cover a few of my august word prompts… I really want to, but I’m not sure, but I’m going to share the moodboard and title right now for motivation. Title | Cursebreaking For Cretins #rwrbfic
