Doggerland on Wikipedia

Someone else might have already mentioned Some Facts About Doggerland, a piece of writing that gives me huge emotions every time I read it, but if not please enjoy!

To fellow Doggerland fans, I also want to shout out Julia Blackburn’s Time Songs: Journeys in Search of a Submerged Land.

I have a long-standing historical fantasy about learning what the inhabitants called their location, long before written records and absent any extant markings. "Doggerland" is pretty compelling; it rolls off the tongue, it describes a sunken land by the boats that trolled the shallow waters, but it wasn't what the people named their fields of roaming mastodons.

Bonus good if it's connected to a food pantry.

I don't think Tolkien is a good fantasy writer because he scored the highest at some objective Best Fantasy Book Test that every fantasy writer has to take, I think he's a good fantasy writer because he created a world based on things that he was interested in. I feel like a lot of fantasy writers think that they need to create a whole language for their world because Tolkien did and obviously his books are the best so they have to emulate him, but Tolkien did that because he was a linguistics nerd. I think the lesson to be learned from him is not that you have to include elves and deep history and new languages, but that you have to write endlessly about the things you are a huge nerd about and use those things to create your fantasy world

This is why my fiction always includes high-functioning HR departments.

I have so many mutuals from the internet I had to go look them up and count years and my goodness they're a lot.

he's gonna die one day soon and it wont fix everything but it'll feel great and the whole world is gonna fucking party together

I just listened to a sober and detailed discussion of the demands on US infrastructure for this event that can be anticipated, but not assigned a date. It was fascinating.

BC babe 🫡

Honestly I thought more of us would be stabby stabby stabby

Bawling my eyes out brb

Now we can write the sequel <<rubs hands together big stretch>>

ive said it before and i’ll say it again not enough historical romance focuses on technicalities

really for this kind of thing it’s no use going to published trad romance and i should know that. the really good shit is 400k on fanfiction dot net for a heterosexual pairing you’ve never considered from a piece of media you havent thought about in years written by a bored doctoral candidate who’s read a lot of primary sources from the long 18th century

recently rediscovered my absolute favorite entry in the genre: customs and duties by tortoiseshells, which is an insane technicalityromance set in 1738 boston, ft the stuffy british navy guy from pirates of the caribbean/ofc, smuggling, puritanism in the john calvin sense, the legal realities of widowhood, several real historical governors of massachusetts, debts, accounts, and of course customs regulations

I would also like to nominate and psyche's lamp shall darkling be, a story based on the 2025 Frankenstein movie that gets into the intricacies of 1850s convent school life, the process of Catholic ecclesiastical courts verifying miracles, multiple points of mid 19th century marriage and inheritance laws pertaining to property, and also spells the word connection with an X so you know the author has been in the 19th century literature trenches 

"I know waaayyy too much about farming shade tobacco in the Connecticut Valley in the 1960's and now I'm going to make it your problem" is my very favorite genre.

babe i don't care that he is morally unjust or unforgivably problematic. babe have u considered that he's unapologetically hot while he's doing incredible harm

This potato works. Every. Fucking. Time.

Then bring me luck

the day after I posted this last time I was notified that I was selected for a really cool mentorship gig and got an unrelated glowing review at work

Hey Potato, cure my -ing cold so I can have a good time while away.

Here's the potato. Make what use of it you will. :)

If anything can kick off that celebration we're all waiting for it's the Golden Potato I can feel it

you fuck a banjo player and it’s great until six hours in you realize theyve been plucking out man of constant sorrow on yr clit the whole time

you fuck a spoons player and it’s great until smithsonian folkways comes in to document and culturally preserve the odd shit theyre doing to yr dick

no one has ever successfully fucked a dulcimer player because they vanish like a dream into the morning mist
