Back in 2024, I reviewed the first volume of the Green Flower trilogy - and now, during #PrideMonth 2026, I finally finished volume 2, so I wanted to share my thoughts on it as well. 😊 #Tumblr: ideas-on-paper.tumblr.com/post/8205659... #books #BookReview #HistoricalNovel #victorian #gay #LGBTQ+

Book review: Adrian Mayfield/Green Flower trilogy Part 2

After starting to read the second volume of the Adrian Mayfield/Green Flower trilogy in autumn of last year, I finally finished it this June! Woohoo! 🥳 (Got busy with a lot of things in the meantime.....

Didn't quite manage to share this on here yesterday, but I wrote a blog post for the 115th anniversary of the launch of #RMSTitanic - and the accident of James Dobbin, a shipyard worker at #HarlandAndWolff who was involved in it. #history #ships #Tumblr: ideas-on-paper.tumblr.com/post/8181572...

James Dobbin, the man injured during Titanic's launch

Today, May 31st, 2026, marks the 115th anniversary of RMS Titanic's launch. It was a fine, clear day in Belfast, and at 12:13 pm, Titanic began to move backwards on her slipway, descending into the...

Two #Tumblr pieces I recently wrote on the #queer subtext of #LiesOfP: 1. On Carlo being Romeo's "best friend" ideas-on-paper.tumblr.com/post/8101801... 2. What Carlo being Rosaura’s friend REALLY means + some predictions about the LoP sequel ideas-on-paper.tumblr.com/post/8107301... #LGBTQ+

Ideas on Paper

Reading about how, in the 19th century/Victorian era, the male lover of a gay man was often said to be a "dear friend" or "like a brother" to him to cover up the nature of their...

Pro tip if you want to avoid pissing me off: Never, EVER mention "Assassin's Creed" to me. It means violation of the history of real-life people for the sake of science-fictiony conspiracy theories. It means marketing lies for the sole purpose of painting yourself as important. 1/2

Am I the only one who feels sort of anxious about #Neowiz making #LiesOfP into a franchise? Personally, I don't feel like I need a sequel to LoP - I'm perfectly happy with LoP as it is, and Overture already was a last-minute save for me (thanks to my own "Nightmare Theory"). 1/2

And thus, I'm finished with my 3rd playthrough of #LiesOfP (aka my Overture Let's Play run), with the Golden Lie on top! 🥳 Und damit wäre ich mit meinem 3. Playthrough von Lies of P (aka meinem Overture Let's Play-Run) durch, inklusive Goldener Lüge! 🥳 Bonus-Szenen Video dauert aber noch. 😉

ENG: Pinocchio standing at the top of Arche Abbey (on the balcony with the table where Sophia's portrait and Simon's cane are). DE: Pinocchio, wie er auf der Spitze der Arche-Abtei steht (auf dem Balkon mit dem Tisch, wo sich Sophias Porträt und Simons Gehstock befinden).

Nobody expects me to spontaneously post a #LiesOfP #fanfic! 😂 But I had this scene between Carlo and Geppetto in my head, and it wanted to get out. Just consider it a surprise gift for St. Nicholas Day. 😉 archiveofourown.org/works/75191521 #fanfiction #writing #AO3 #ArchiveOfOurOwn

Und damit hätten wir Arlecchino das Handwerk gelegt - zweimal! 😄 Die restlichen post-DLC Sachen erledigen wir dann im nächsten (und letzten) Stream - und auch, wenn ich Overture auf etwas unkonventionelle Art beendet habe, bin ich doch froh, eine Interpretation gefunden zu haben, 1/2

Und damit hätten wir uns durch den Rest des Wohlfahrtshauses bis vor den Endboss vorgearbeitet. Und auch, wenn mich nun nicht mehr viel überraschen konnte, fand ich es für meinen Teil doch angenehmer, neutraler und mit ein bisschen Abstand über die mir aufgefallenen Diskrepanzen reden zu können. 😊

Also, um die jüngsten Ereignisse so kurz wie möglich zusammenzufassen: Erwartungen: subverted. Gefühle: zerstört. Hotel: Krat. (Mein Cry-Count ist momentan übrigens bei 6.) Ich hatte ja geahnt, dass uns im Rosen-Anwesen einiges an tragischen Wendungen erwartet, aber es ist doch nicht alles so, 1/2
