Just wanted to follow up on the previous anon and say thank you so much for Reprise.

It's easily one of the best Star Wars fics I've ever read. And it times like this it brings me comfort and healing, and it brings me hope.

Anon, thank you so much! It means a lot. <3 I know we all need some hope, these days. I am still in shock and am not exactly overflowing with the stuff, but hope blooms in dark places. While I desperately pray that it does not get so dark in the months and years to come, if it does, I know that hope will find us in unlikely places.

Thanks for reading. I hope I can update sometime soon.

I’ve been reading your Reprise series since it came out and wanted to tell you how brilliant and amazing of a writer you are. Even with all the new Star Wars content coming out, I still consider your fic to be one of my favorite pieces of Star Wars media ever. You have such a gift and what a beautiful way of retelling the prequels. I know it’s been a year since your last update on IV , but whether it’s now an orphaned fic or just something you haven’t had time to get back to, you story has made an impact on a lifelong Star Wars fan and made me love the series and prequels all over again. <3

Man, I haven't checked my inbox in ages. You sent this quite a while ago, I'm not sure exactly how long ago, could be a year for all I know! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm over the story! It really means more than I can say. I've had such fun with that story, and it's honestly shocking how many people have enjoyed it over the years. It is not, in fact, orphaned, though I can't blame anyone for thinking it is. I actually have been slowly chipping away at the next chapter here and there, and am actually almost finished with that draft, but I'm not sure I'll ever work back up to the rate of posting I had back in the day. Stay tuned! Despite my absence I do eventually want to finish this story.

69 cities in the united kingdom and forty seven thousand pubs

england is smaller than my state and has like almost as many bars as the entire US combined. like it's just 10,000 short of catching up to the US, a country with almost 5 times its population

going to one pub every single day it would take you 130 years to go to every pub in britain

I've plugged our route into Google, who's with me

Pub crawl impractical think we’re going to have to pub speedrun this one lads

The tailors at Colonial Williamsburg made a suit for their cat

The best part is that they were inspired by a diary entry from 1775, written by a 12 year old tailor’s apprentice who had been left unsupervised all day and decided to make a suit for a cat. Here’s a link to the blog post about it, but I’ll just paste the whole diary entry here:

“I had been at work about two months when Christmas came on – and here I must relate a little anecdote. The principal [the tailor] and his lady were invited to a party among their friends…while it devolved on me to stay at home and keep house. There was nothing left me in charge to do, only to take care of the house. There was a large cat that generally lay about the fire. In order to try my mechanical powers, I concluded to make a suit of clothing for puss, and for my purpose gathered some scraps of cloth that lay about the shop-board, and went to work as hard as I could. Late in the evening I got my suit of clothes finished; I caught the cat, put on the whole suit – coat, vest, and small-clothes [breeches] – buttoned all on tight, and set down my cat to inspect the fit. 

“Unfortunately for me there was a hole through the floor close to the fireplace, just large enough for the cat to pass down; after making some efforts to get rid of the clothes, and failing, pussy descended through the hole and disappeared; the floor was tight and the house underpinned with brick, so there was no chance of pursuit. I consoled myself with a hope that the cat would extricate itself from its incumbrance, but not so; night came and I had made on a good fire and seated myself for some two or three hours after dark, when who should make their appearance but my master and mistress and two young men, all in good humor, with two or three bottles of rum. After all were seated around the fire, who should appear amongst us but the cat in his uniform. I was struck speechless, the secret was out and had no chance of concealing; the cat was caught, the whole work inspected and the question asked, is this your day’s work? I was obliged to answer in the affirmative; I would then have been willing to take a good whipping, and let it stop there, but no, to complete my mortification the clothes were carefully taken off the cat and hung up in the shop for the inspection of all customers that came in.”

“I was hoping they’d beat me and forget about it but to my horror they stuck my work up on the fridge”

Emily Wilde series fan cast

Alright, I have no idea how many of you have actually read these books but I discovered them a few weeks ago and devoured them. Absolutely charming and, dare I say, enchanting characters and a great story.

I don’t always have super detailed pictures in my head of what all the characters look like, but for these books I actually had an incredibly strong mental picture for most of the characters, Emily in particular, so here is my fancast for Emily, Wendell, and Ariadne.

1. Emily:

Off the bat I had a very clear image of Emily, and that image is Elizabeth Dulau!

Specifically, I saw Emily a lot in Elizabeth’s portrayal of Klaya in Andor:

2. Wendell

It was a lot harder to settle on one concrete look for Wendell, and I’m still not 100% sure this is the best fit, but the actor closest to my mental picture that I’ve been able to find is Toby Regbo:

I mean look at him, dude already has some experience in a crown, as well as looking generally well dressed and dramatically put out:

3. Ariadne

Finally, I was surprised by how quickly I developed a picture of Ariadne in my head, and that mental picture looks very much like Amandla Stenberg!

Like LOOK AT HER she’s perfect

Anyway that is all. To whatever small fandom for this series exists on tumblr: let me know what you think!

"The Committee said on Tuesday that its newly-published report is the first output from a series of meetings exploring what a united Ireland would mean and examines the current economic relationship between the jurisdictions on the island and the potential of the all-island economy.

The report, the Committee said, goes on to examine the cost of a united Ireland and makes the case for planning and preparation for a united Ireland to begin."

Good news for conservation

Youth leader Maya Tilousi shakes hands with Joe Biden on the day he signed a proclamation establishing the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, at the Historic Red Butte Airfied in Tusayan, Arizona.

About 41 million acres, an area slightly larger than Florida, has been placed under new protection across public and private lands during Biden’s term, meaning about 13% of the US landmass is now protected from corporate exploitation.
