The best notes written in manuscripts by medieval monks
Colophon: a statement at the end of a book containing the scribe or owner’s name, date of completion, or bitching about how hard it is to write a book in the dark ages
- Oh, my hand
- The parchment is very hairy
- Thank God it will soon be dark
- St. Patrick of Armagh, deliver me from writing
- Now I’ve written the whole thing; for Christ’s sake give me a drink
- Oh d fuckin abbot
- Massive hangover
- Whoever translated these Gospels did a very poor job
- Cursed be the pesty cat that urinated over this book during the night
- If someone else would like such a handsome book, come and look me up in Paris, across from the Notre Dame cathedral
- I shall remember, O Christ, that I am writing of Thee, because I am wrecked today
- Do not reproach me concerning the letters, the ink is bad and the parchment scanty and the day is dark
- 11 golden letters, 8 shilling each; 700 letters with double shafts, 7 shilling for each hundred; and 35 quires of text, each 16 leaves, at 3 shilling each. For such an amount I won’t write again
- Here ends the second part of the title work of Brother Thomas Aquinas of the Dominican Order; very long, very verbose; and very tedious for the scribe; thank God, thank God, and again thank God
- If anyone take away this book, let him die the death, let him be fried in a pan; let the falling sickness and fever seize him; let him be broken on the wheel, and hanged. Amen
what does oh d fuckin abbot even MEAN
an abbot is the head of a monastery so it just means “fuck my boss” basically, an abbreviation of “O damned fuckin Abbot”. this is what it looks like:
Brasenose College MS 7, f.62v
very important, as is to my knowledge first attested instance of word ‘fuck.’ (it’s older, it’s just usually censored in some way)

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.
and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.
there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't think anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.
i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

it’s actually very easy to live a life free of social media if you don’t consider tumblr a form of social media. which i don’t. #freedom #technologicallyfree #offline #amish

How I think I’m writing: Using eye contact, or lack thereof, to display emotions such as intimacy, shock, denial, or nervousness.
How I’m actually writing: She looked at me, and I looked away. I tried to look back, but she was already looking at the sky. “Look,” she sighs, looking back at me for a split second. “I don’t know how to say this.” We looked at each other and time stopped, but then she looked her lookers at something else to look at, looking tired.

Btw, the posts I reblog about fandom engagement and community is not a dunk against the lurkers. If you leave me silent kudos and likes, I see you, I remember your name. You make me smile. I appreciate you.
These posts are more about people in fandom being entitled. They think they deserve fic and fanart and gifsets, but then treat these creators like trash. We are doing this out of love. Fandom is love. Treating artists like they’re your personal fantasy machine, especially when you give nothing in return, is not okay. Stop demanding more and demanding everything be catered to you. Stop treating artists like robots and machines. We’re human beings. Please treat us like it.

my friends, it is not illegal to recognize there are problematic elements to the content you enjoy. it’s called critical thinking. you can enjoy something and not turn a blind eye to the shit wrong with it.

This was my first paperback to bind (because I messed up the signatures for printing... and I thought why not trying to make a paperback) but because I didn't properly protected the cover it looked well loved right after finishing the binding process.
After getting a laminator I gave it the protected cover it deserves
Cover and spine
Every chapter has a unique picture here are chapter 3 and 4 as example
This is so incredibly cool! And it looks so good! I love that each chapter gets a picture!
I'm so touched that you wanted to bind my fic, this means so much to me! 🌻
Bird Remus! 🤣🫶
Hello! ☃️
Bird Remus is exactly what it sounds like haha. Sirius finds a song thrush named Remus trapped in a cage. His wings have been clipped, so he can’t fly, and Sirius decides to take care of him until he moults and grows new feathers. Sirius is dealing with severe depression, and he’s absolutely enchanted by Remus.
Here’s a snippet:
The session seemed to drag on forever as his thoughts kept returning to Remus. Was Remus happy that Sirius was gone? Was he calm when Sirius wasn’t there, or was he nervous anyway? Was he sleeping? Was he anxious about being in a cage? It was much bigger than his previous cage had been, but it was still a cage, and Remus was a bird who was supposed to be free.
Had he ever been free?
Sirius was deep in thought on his way home, and when he got to his door, he stopped.
What could he do to make Remus more comfortable?
hello! tell me about wolfstarbucks hurt/comfort please?
Hello! ☃️
This is one of my tumblr requests from however many months back haha. I got burnt out when I was writing it, so I've been stuck. It’s established relationship, but Remus is absolutely convinced that James and Sirius actually don't love him at all and are in fact going to break up with him, and then he has a breakdown about it when they're supposed to have sex.
Here’s a little snippet:
Remus didn’t know how he hadn’t noticed it sooner, because after he knew what he was looking for, the signs were all there. Sirius and James would lean their heads closer to speak to each other in such a low tone that Remus couldn’t make out their words. Sirius and James would hug each other longer than they hugged Remus, would kiss each other more passionately than they kissed Remus, and they had the mirrors they’d had since Hogwarts, always reaching out for each other for the smallest reasons. Sometimes they would whisper to each other while throwing covert glances at Remus, and Remus’s skin itched as he thought about what they must be saying about him.
Remus understood them. If it were him, he wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with himself when James and Sirius were the option. It must have been hard for them to even be friends with Remus, and it must be harder to be in a relationship with him. He was so difficult and so boring, not wanting to go out clubbing or drinking, not liking big crowds, not liking public displays of affection—and then there was the lycanthropy.
Why would anyone want to date him?
Please tell us about your Wolfstar Fandom fic 🌞
Hello lovely! ☃️
I'm still very much just planning this fic, but the idea is that Remus and Sirius are both fandom freaks, and once Remus gets obsessed about his new favourite book and starts writing fics about it, their paths cross because Sirius is also in that fandom. He reads all of Remus’s fics and loves them.
(A lovely detail I've planned is that Sirius loves Remus’s fics so much that when Remus mentions that it’s his birthday in his author's notes, Sirius writes him a gift fic, and that’s the only fic he has ever posted.)
At first they only talk in ao3 comments, but Remus then makes a tumblr account, and they start talking in dms, and that’s pretty much all I know about the story
This will be a html heavy fic if I can figure out a way to code it like I want. It’s a very ambitious plan that’s way above my skill level, so I fully expect this fic to take a long time before I can post it (of ever 🥲)
I've only been brainstorming Remus’s fics so far, so I don’t have a snippet to share yet
