RWRB, Hollanov, ExitAriel on AO3, 🔴☂️♣️♾️ The phrase "see attached bibliography" is the single sexiest thing you have ever written to me. https://archiveofourown.org/users/ExitAriel/works

Sami's right, this year felt different. I think anyone who was in NYC that day still feels like it was pretty fucking recent. But it wasn't. It's hard to process. And Esquire mag really needs to stop pushing that damn Falling Man story on socials. I never want to see that picture ever again, FFS.

i’m watching the new netflix documentary which is also talking about the wars after the fact — i am so sad and learning so much

Mel talking about "Ironic" reminded me, finally found a vid I'd been looking for: Lauren Patten, singing You Oughta Know in a storm at Bway Fest, the moment she deliberately walks into the water pouring onto the stage. Sexiest fucking thing I have *ever* seen tbh www.tiktok.com/@taraontik/v...

Tony Award winner Lauren Patten delivers an epic version of You Oughta Know in the pouring rain at The Festival in Kingston NY. @alanis #jaggedlittlepill #alanismorissette #broadway #thefestival #lau...

omg y'all I just had a drink for the first time in *months*...so siddown, grab a chair....I need to yap! I've been doing SO much reading about Joni Mitchell all summer (which, turns out, is not nearly as conducive to writing fic as I had hoped) but wow, are there so many great stories...

Without saying yr age, what's yr favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old? It was also the year that gave us A Few Good Men ("You can't HANDLE the truth!") and My Cousin Vinnie ("Yeah, you blend!"), but the Robert Redford/Sidney Poitier/Ben Kingsley collab of Sneakers is unbeatable:

Without saying your age, what's your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old. (I'm with Mel, this was hard! But I still lovelovelovelove this movie and the way it makes me feel.)

I am editing. Which is to say, I have spent five minutes re-reading one sentence. I added a word, took it out, added the /same word/ back in. And then took it out a second time. 🙄

She's baaaaccckkk!!!! If you missed the way Dr A writes Alex and Henry -- with sincerity and heart and humor and unbelievably 🔥🔥🔥spice -- well, you're in luck, this is a good 'un:

Dragged the laptop outside to work on my Laurel Canyon fic and the cabin next door is blasting Highway 61 Revisited and it feels like the universe is patting me on the head to encourage me....

Hi. Um. Help? Anyone? Stupid question: I'm trying to make up a late-60s-ish band name -- you know, one word, something innocuous and simple, starts with "the" -- that wasn't a *real* 60s band name. So like the Byrds, the Eagles, the Doors, the Band. But not any of those.

Co-signing Evie's enthusiasm for this fic! And adding to her roundup of its banger lines: Why is his fucking thesaurus of a mouth so goddamn hot? "It's my dick pic, I get veto power." "If you want someone's ass all you gotta do is say 'hi, I'm the Prince of England,' and ta-da, ass acquired."

BANGER LINES THAT APPEAR IN THIS FIC 👀 (or: ten great reasons why you should read it 😃) 💘 1/10: I cannot be confident that we're destined for each other, but I can want it so badly my mouth echoes with the opposite of an aftertaste.

I have returned from the near-Canadian wilderness w/ two things to share: Our ("our") lake is a loon habitat. Did you know loons, unlike other birds, have solid bones, not hollow? So when they dive they can go incredibly far. But that means they're heavier than other birds and suck at flying....

God, I loved this, like I love all @jafffacakes.bsky.social stories, a ridiculous amount. The bit about the lizard -- I know it doesn't look like a story that would have a lizard in it, but it makes perfect sense when you get there -- just killed me.
