let the rats loose

wednesday night….the thinking man’s friday

Bridgerton men get told to shut the fuck up for the first time in their lives and start imagining themselves in a wedding dress

it's important to me that ilya remains captain of the centaurs after shane joins, but i have a specific picture in my mind of shane being assistant captain and being generally harmless and super chill , so the centaurs see him as like the chill parent (something to be said about shane being content in letting someone else, specifically His Someone, have the reins and enjoying not being in charge) but then ilya has to be out for a few weeks for like health or smth so shane goes into Captain Mode and the centaurs are scared shitless by how intense he gets all of a sudden. the most intense drills of all time. the hardest plays they've ever heard of. the strictest practices on earth. and they suddenly understand why shane led the metros/voyagers to victory so many times and why ilya treats him like the boss in their relationship. and then as soon as ilya comes back he turns it off and the centaurs are like Oh Thank Fuck Because What The Hell Was That

The first person I willingly came out to was my husband. My friends have NEVER known me at a time in my life when I was not in love with my husband.

the bright sword is a book about how even in the highest of all fairytales there was always something higher and more glorious that came before and is just out of reach . which is SO, so very arthuriana, a story about all the many ways in which the golden age is over before it begins, in which the crowning of a king is the cause of his dying
