Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I do that without Tumblr. Although it doesn't come up as often, I would bet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Someone please help me to write these interview thank-you notes? I swear these are harder than cover letters! (Compounding the difficulty, these are people I already know since it's an internal transfer. So I can't be too casual, but I also can't be too formal. ARGH STUPID JOBS WHY DO WE EVEN NEED THEM.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That said, JESUS some of these young people have stupid opinions.

Chief among them, the idea that 25 is "old", especially too old for fandom.

But also bullshit anti-trans ideas and their castigation of the term "queer."

(Look, what I basically just want from Tumblr is Riverdale GIFs and pictures of Chris Evans. Not youngsters being Wrong On The Internet.)

Oh, I forgot -- the whole reason I came here to post is that I wrote a note to myself in one of my manuscripts (in all caps) that says "NEED DENOMINATORS" and suddenly I feel like someone let a Dalek get ahold of my manuscript.

(#procrastinate! #procrastinate! ok back to writing thank-you emails.)

...I'm suddenly really glad I'm not on Tumblr.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

WOOT! Thanks everyone!!!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Tom!

So, my MIL apparently thinks a full-size wooden maraca is an appropriate gift for a toddler. It not so much the noise as the fact Mr. S tends to hit us/the cat with things. Ow...
