Sylvia Plath, from a letter to Ann Davidow-Goodman, featured in The Letters Of Sylvia Plath Volume I: 1940–1956

[Text ID: I know I’ll always think of you with something like hurt and nostalgia―and a great deal of love.]

Hey friends, in lieu of posting the latest chapter of my ongoing fic, when covered in snow, I wanted to share the first chapter of a new shorter Jily fic instead <3  This is a plus size Lily Evans POV fic. It has taken me a year to get to this place of writing it, and I feel so proud that I can explore themes of sex, bodies and identity, particularly how that wraps up with friendship, family, intimacy and general teenage confusion. 

It’s not meant for younger viewers as it is rated explicit with detailed sex scenes, so please check the content warning in the notes at the top of the fic and be safe.  I hope you like it x

''the secret history vibe is studying hard and loving the classics'' so close! the secret history vibe is a close group of pretentious idiots who secretly hate each other murdering people for the vibe and ignoring the concepts of the moon landing and hypothermia

So I really miss fanfic writing, but I haven't had the time in a while. But I still have the fan-creation itch constantly. Anyway, long story short, I made a overly-serious/historical-themed custom dust jacket for RWRB in canva:

I'm not super fond of the font, but I was really indecisive about it, and decided to go with one similar to the original cover. If I change it, I'll update this post with the new version!

I will almost definitely make more of these! It was so much fun! Since I went with a historical love letter vibe on this one, I think i'll do a more colorful/fun version next.

Its dimensions are made to fit the collector's edition, but I think it could be sized down to fit the paperback. Both a printable version without the fold lines & paper texture, and a version of the cover only, are under the cut:

film adaptations of classic literature should be low budget and the actors should be a bunch of people i’ve never seen and will never see again. this or die

“the other man” “the blond” “the brunette” “the dark-eyed man” “the taller man”

hollywood be like: the song of achilles starring timothee chalamet and chris hemsworth. and theyre brothers instead of lovers now
