orig fic from you? I hope you'll put it somewhere I can read it, please! 😜

I always get nervous sharing my original fiction but I decided to bite the bullet this year!

Fanfic Writer Emoji Ask

🛒 What are some common things you incorporate in your fics? Themes, feels, scenes, imagery, etc.

🎢 Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?

❌ What's a trope you will never write?

TY!

Ooooh, you’ve gone for some tricky ones, Pers! Thanks for the asks 😊

🛒 I guess my common themes and feels are love, happiness, belonging, the implication of happily ever after.

🎢 I’d say Running Away (together) because it unexpectedly spawned five more short fics and You Gotta Rub Me The Right Way! because it was meant to be a one shot follow up to a one shot, and somehow became 20 chapters long.

🌞 My preferred time to write is whenever I can get my stupid brain to cooperate and put words on screen. Which is not often these days. Back when fic came (fairly) easy, the middle of the night when trying to sleep was a common time for the ideas to start coming…. My brain is an arsehole.

❌ I’m not 100% if it counts as a trope, but I would never write a major character death. I generally don’t kill anyone I like. I wouldn’t write Serena or Bernie being unfaithful (fuck canon and bollocks to Leah) I have written smut, but I don’t think I’m good at it, and find it really, really difficult.

Fragrance for Bernie Wolfe please?

Yes! Thank you! 😁

I'm not sure what this says about my ego, but most of the fragrances tend to associate with Bernie are ones that I wear myself (not that I'm anything like her lol)

Generally speaking, I think Bernie is one for fresh/clean and sandalwood-y fragrances. I also think that labels don't matter much to her, she just picks something she likes and rolls with it, regardless of brand or price tag.

I think in the 90s she was a ck one girl and she probably kept wearing that one for decades. Maybe she also had a bottle of something slightly more feminine/elegant (yet still light and fresh) for special occasions, like 1881 pour femme by Cerruti or - yes, really - J'adore.

Hermès Voyage is another one of my personal favourites that I can picture her wearing, and the theme also fits her personality quite nicely.

Another one that I love and that used to be my headcanon scent for Bernie until recently is Une Nuit à Montauk - Nothing but Sea and Sky by Une Nuit Nomade. (Because just because she doesn't care for labels doesn't mean she can't wear Niche Perfumes, right?). But I recently discovered another beautiful fragrance by the same brand and I think this might be my ultimate Bernie Wolfe headcanon fragrance: Une Nuit à Oman - Sun Bleached. It is clean and creamy and fresh yet at the same time somehow also warm and slightly spicy. And it even has vanilla, which I know a lot people in the fandom like to associate with her - I could never get behind it because usually I'm not a massive fan of vanilla, but here it really works as it's not overly sweet.

This was indeed a lot easier 😄😄

unfortunately for jon snow, the role of "dead girl haunting the narrative" is already occupied by his mother, father, brother, sister, uncle, grandmother and step mother x2 so he's going to have to be forcibly resurrected :/

For @pers-books for the fanfic kiss meme, for Harry/Ruth + #8 in secrecy.

***

Their kisses are secret, like everything else.  (We’re made of secrets, you and I.)

“Harry,” she says, before she leaves his office.  They’re standing together at the door. She lays a hand on his arm, and his head lifts; she sees the query in his eyes.   (Is it an emergency, a traitor in their midst, or is it this thing between them?)

Ruth shivers, dares to lean across, to kiss him, behind the door, in the blind spot where no one can see – maybe, if they’re quick enough – and pulls away before she departs, clutching files to her chest.  Her lips curve into an equally secret smile.

They meet on benches; they talk shop and pretend they're a couple.  He kisses her right out in the open, a lie and a truth entwined together; kisses her so hard Ruth can barely breathe.

They like it like this.  Too much.  It can’t end well. 

They’re casual acquaintances, running into each other on the street.  The grid is compromised.  What else can they do?

She gives him a memory stick by sleight of hand while they exchange quick, public how-are-yous, and then, when he starts to move on, she grasps his coat. She shoots him a wicked look, and leans in to kiss his cheek in farewell.  They brush against each other more they should as they pass on; she this way, he that.

It’s not normal.  It’s not safe.  Neither of them could do it any other way if you paid them.  Her heart dances.  Next time, it says.  Next time.

(We’re made of secrets, you and I.)

Send me a ship + kiss here!

That Twelve and Bill missing scene gifset you just rebugled from me - did you know you tagged it ten, not twelve?

I noticed that just as I hit the post button and quickly scrambled to edit it - but not fast enough, obviously! 🤣🤣🤣

HIJAB BUTCH BLUES by LAMYA H.

Alright, changing it up a bit with my book stuff but this one hit home with me. The author draws very interesting parallels between stories in the Quran and her experiences as a gay muslim woman that are very interesting. And if you think you can’t be muslim and gay, or wear a hijab and be gay, or even tackle muslim culture and queerness in one, then you’re bound to be pleasantly proved wrong with this one.

#and you know what? the way the author handles the concept of coming out and anonymity is so fucking relatable #the author remains anonymous per her own choice and thats fucking something #lgbtq books #lgbt books #book recommendations #lgbt book recs #queer book recommendations #queer books #gay muslim #lesbian muslim #queer muslim #muslim representation #muslim books #lgbt muslim #lgbtq muslim #lgbt+ books #hijab butch blues #lamya h #hijab butch blues lamya

Please, friend, do you have the screencap where Columbo says something like, "the best way to make an omelet is no eggs, only milk!"? 🥺

(original post)

fun fact: the original line was "no milk, just eggs" but peter falk flubbed the line and they kept it in. makes me sad that we'll never get to see columbo bloopers

#columbo #ask #murder by the book #peter was insane and was known to sometimes shoot 25000 feet of film per scene so nobody's going through that shit #for the record that's over Four Hours of footage lol

HE DID! :D! luckily it only took me three ten-pulls; I think my past experience of being so thoroughly denied a Fairy Gala Ortho made me more worried than I should have been. may the gacha blessings pay forward to everyone else! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

so far this is hands-down the funniest Lilia card, because he'll say something all edgy and badass in that deeper ~General Vanrouge~ tone and then follow it up immediately with one of the non-card-specific cutesy Lilia lines, and it gets me every time
