Because I have a heated mattress pad on my bed, I rarely need much in the way of blankets. I can keep warm without them, technically. I've taken to making up my bed with a top sheet and a duvet cover, but no duvet inside it, which really just means three layers of sheet-thickness fabric on the bed. And that's fine! It's fine.

But this week I decided to bust out a duvet and stuff it into the duvet cover, and holy shit. I forgot how luxurious it feels to have a poofy blanket on the bed. I forgot what it was like to curl up under a big fluffy duvet. I had forgotten the faces of my comfy, comfy fathers. True luxury is six inches of blanket on top of me and a cat on top of that.

I will never forsake my duvet again. Hygge forgive me.

I was tagged by @madpanda75 thank you my love 😘

fic authors self rec ! when you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to five other writers <3

Only the Young (Michael Robby Robinavitch x Reader) - Don’t ask me why. I love this one so much.

Fresh Out the Slammer (Andrew Pope Cody x Reader) - I feel like nothing in the series has lived up to this.

Standing Outside The Fire (Brett Richards x Reader) - the fic that got me out of my mini slump/depression

Welcome to the Pitt (Michael Robby Robinavitch x Reader) - the one that brought me back to writing on tumblr.

Castles Crumbling (Michael Robby Robinavitch x Reader) - for the angst of it all.

Honorable mention to my og barba series help you forget. I never made a masterlist for it back then and I’m not up for searching the tags and trigging myself with usernames and people I know will pop up

I tag @atlaslapis @punkgeekcryptid @thedamnqueenofhell @thatfanficstuff @science-hoes @rynwrites4fun @docrobinavitch and anyone else who thinks this might be fun

Oh, you're killing me, friend. Five? That's so hard. *sigh* I'm gonna go with the first five faves that pop in my head because I am not looking through masterlists.

Sacrificed (Klaus Mikaelson x OC) - my first fanfic. Written for Kindle Worlds at the time.

Yes, Sir (Michael Robinavitch x Reader) - my first Pitt fic! A fave simply because it started this journey

The Light in my Darkness (Clint Barton x Reader) - Sugar Daddy AU series. I just adore this fic. it's a true sugar daddy au complete with contract with a dash of best friend's dad and Wade Wilson making an appearance as Clint's assistant.

Battle Scars (Tony Stark x Reader) - By far my most popular fic on wattpad (2.5M reads i think) I'm not actually sure if I've updated tumblr but it is fully edited on wattpad. Soulmate AU with shared scars. Remains a fave because it was the first fic I really had a lot of discourse with readers on which I love.

Liasons (Charlie Reid x Reader) - yes, another series though this one is only 4 parts. I am just really proud of how this one turned out. It was kind of experiment for me and a new character so I was worried when I started on it.

This was so hard! i kept thinking of others but I'll stick with these. Next week I'll probably have different answers.

NP tags: i have no idea who has been tagged, so participate if you'd like and tag me so I can find some stuff I haven't read yet. Also @inkdippedquills @hawksredrobe @trashshart @multifandomlover01 and @star-trekkin-across-theuniverse though I'm sure at least some of you have already been tagged.

I haven't been tagged!

Okay, it's been eons since I've written because honestly, life's been really shitty the last few years (I firmly subscribe to a theory that decade alternate good and bad, so I should be heading into a new decade of good.) I tried to pick fics I was super proud of, while still hitting the majority of the fandoms I've written for, but not sure I've been super successful in picking because FIVE?! is a LOT.

The 5 fics I'm proudest of:

Cover You In Oil - (Tony Stark x OFC, Soulmate AU) Sally Manners has spent her life avoiding the man whose name is etched on the inside of her thigh. Until suddenly she can’t.  [might be the best thing I've *ever* written, definitely is what's been most read - it's 10 years old and still getting kudos on AO3]

Fallen Valkyrie - (Thor x OFC, Loki X OFC) The Valkyries were the shieldmaidens of Valhalla, leading the glorious dead into the meadhall of the afterlife. So long as she remain pure, the Valkyrie remains invulnerable and immortal. Eira Sigbjornsdottir is a powerful healer with a secret. And then she catches the eye of the crown prince of Asgard. Takes place prior to the MCU, pre-Thor (the movie)

Auld Lang Syne - (Jim Kirk x reader, 1st person) - Jim helps pick up the pieces after your marriage falls apart. [First thing I ever wrote for Tumblr, so is about 12 years old now, I think]

Floating - (Leonard 'Bones' McCoy x OFC, 1st person) - Unfinished but I'm still very happy with where I got with this. Bryn Erikssen has finally finished the rigorous training at Starfleet's medical school and residency, and is ready for her first assignment. She's hoping for the Yorktown Starbase, so she can set up her practice and set down some roots. Life has a funny way of not asking what your plans are though.

Angst - (Jim Kirk x reader) - It's called Angst for a reason. Reader discovers she's pregnant and leave Starlet Academy. [Very sad ending!!!]

Tagging: @bolontiku, @nuggsmum @tilltheendwilliwrite(I'm sure you've all been tagged though)

imagine a cute soft and round hen who goes into her coop and hops up on the perch and sits down and shifts around until she is so comfy and her feet are all tucked up into her belly feathers and she puffs out her feathers so warm and tucks her head against her chest and closes her eyes to go to sleep so round and warm with all of her friaends. now imagine it again . its happening all over the world

ooo i would also like to share the proof

certified chicken post

The Peace of Poultry

Around all the world at sundown

Each hen fluffs her feather nightgown.

She snuggles to sleep

And dreams of bird sheep,

Secure in her cozy coop-town.

Each hen fluffs her feather nightgown. That is beyond adorable!

I can clearly remember the moment I first realised my mother and I were living on completely different planes of existence. I was 7 years old and I came home from my school's first track and field day having placed second or third in every event. the teachers had been making jokes all afternoon about how many times they had to call my name. my friends thought I was cool as shit. my enemies thought I was cool as shit too, come to think of it. I was proud as hell. so I get home with the entire front of my shirt covered in ribbons like I was a military dictator who'd awarded himself every medal, I walk into the kitchen and tell my mum all about my day, and she goes "oh, that must be disappointing not getting any firsts." and I'm like no?? first of all the first place ribbons are red and I don't like red. second of all look at me. there's literally nowhere left on my body for accolades. I am fucking Jacked of All Trades. how could this possibly be a disappointment.

anon. where is the frog, anon. we need the frog anon.

THE FROG!!!!!!!

this is genuinely breathtaking lmao

Yeah look the weird smut comments are totally out of pocket but I really can't get over "im more into dr.seus or self help books lol"

#do you think he's actually read dr. seuss or did he just hear "doctor" before an author's name and decide it sounded smart? (Via @shellys-apprentice)

Oh my god

Found the orginal thread and lost it at this

the current state of fandom needs to be old yellered immediately. im loading up the shotgun as we speak

this is the PERFECT addition bunny omg

The best thing about having a partner who also does medieval reenactment is that you can text them like “do you want a sexy leg pic 😏” and when they obviously go “of course 👀” you send them a close up of a really nice piece of leg armour. And then they aren’t even mad and go “yeah that is sexy as hell, thank you.”

It would, of course, be remiss of me to not include examples of these sexy leg pics. Try this one simple trick to find out if your partner is someone with taste!

(If anyone does do this to their partner, I’d love to know the results)

Victor saying “the sun is life” means so much more when he proceeds to trap his creation away from it.

“The sun is life.”

And you shall not see it.

Victor thinks so lowly of the Creature, that he deprives him of something as minuscule as the warmth of the sun.

And in trapping the Creature where the sun can’t reach him, Victor Frankenstein practically tells him right from the start that he does not deserve life, nor the simple pleasures of it.

The sun is life.

He thinks the creature has no life.

The final scene of the movie, the Creature is bathed in sunlight.

It’s like he finally understands his value, and knows that he is in fact worthy of the simple pleasures of the world.

Tissue Series

These pieces are made of Japanese mulberry paper and the gilded edges of old books. They are constructed by a technique of rolling and shaping narrow strips of paper called quilling or paper filigree. Quilling was first practiced by Renaissance nuns and monks who are said to have made artistic use of the gilded edges of worn out bibles, and later by 18th century ladies who made artistic use of lots of free time.

9 year anniversary of Ragnar discovering snow

Cryptid owner cryptid dog

Possibly the first recorded case of shitty greenscreen without greenscreen

I think it was just my flash 😂

Even the snow falling looks like it's just an effect added in post. This, this is a paradox of a photo; by general metrics, most people with a basic understanding of how to use image editing software would think "oh yeah, this is fake."

But it's not. You somehow got all the stars aligned to snap the most unrealistic real photo I've seen in a long time.

Yeah people keep talking about the shadows and effects I’ve used but this is the raw photo 😭 it’s unedited

My question is why does every evidence of your IRL life seems fake or edited ??? Every picture of you looks like IA generated, picture of your dog looks badly edited, do you have a curse or something?? 😭

I'm betting it's something in the toothpaste.
