Super Cute!

Vale more than anyone knows he’s not a sensible person in charge.

Li Ming: where is everybody?

Vale: Irene had a nervous collapse, Kai is looking after her, Silver went back to bed, and I’m in charge.

Li Ming: fuck.

Vale: i know right?

Happy Brithday, hope you’ve had an awesome day!!!

Yes I'm 23

Oh my gosh, I adore this. He’s super beautiful, thanks for the movie recs as well.

It took me nearly two weeks to figure out who I was picturing as Kai while I was reading. But when I tweeted at Genevieve and she mentioned Chow Yun Fat, that reminded me of Zhang Ziyi (who starred in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon with him) and a movie she starred that I sobbed to last night - House of Flying Daggers. This is a long way of saying I remembered this beautiful man who I was in love with back in 2005 and was who I've been picturing as Kai without even realizing.

Everyone please look at Takeshi Kaneshiro who, circa 1996-2007, is the perfect look for Kai:

All very swish! Yeah Bradamant for sure makes the highest priority to look fabulous as she stabs someone.

Request from @some-sort-of-firefly for a Bradamant aesthetic board.

In my head she's the most glamorous Librarian that the Library has ever had, and could kill a man with her stilleto heel

I would really recommend Perfectly Preventable Deaths by Deirdre Sullivan. It’s set in small town Ireland and the atmosphere super close and secretive. They live in a castle with secret passages- awesome! It’s hilarious and I love the characters and it’s a fast paced read as well, I tore through it.

do u know of any wlw witch story lines?? ty!!

There is a Goodreads list for Sapphic Witch Books! Personally, I can recommend

Kissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins by Emma Donoghue (Fairytales)

Labyrinth Lost (Brooklyn Brujas, #1) by Zoraida Córdova (Bruja bisexual main character)

The Witch Sea by Sarah Diemer (Another fairytale-ish story)

I haven’t read Spellbook of the Lost and Found by Moïra Fowley-Doyle yet, but I’ve heard really good things about it!

I’m also excited to read Toil & Trouble: 15 Tales of Women & Witchcraft edited by Tess Sharpe, which I’ve been told includes some F/F stories.

The Lost Coast by Amy Rose Capetta doesn’t come out until the Spring of 2019, and all I know about it is that the blurb promises queer witches in the woods, but that’s enough for me.

Also check out this Autostraddle post: Read These 10 Books with Queer Witches

Baz Pitch as he swishes his cape melodramatically.

the strong urge to wear a long, blood red velvet cloak at all times. where does it come from.

That sounds so wonderful! You’re lucky, my room is so small I can’t do anything with it, like there are literally guard toilets in Stirling castle that are bigger than it!

I'm turning one of the corners of my room into a cozy little reading nook, but the fairy lights that I got are so bright that it may not be cozy, and just a rather garish nook

This is super adorable! Silver and cats go perfectly together, thanks for writing.

Could you write Silver getting a cat please?

Silver smiled, the corners of his lips curling slowly as he listened to the kitten purr as it eagerly nuzzled its forehead against the side of his leg. “That will not make me go any quicker.” He muttered, not that the pet would ever respond with much more than a Miaow or even more purring.

He regularly spoke to the cat now that it was a semi-regular staple in the house, coming and going as it pleased, he wasn’t even entirely sure on the creature’s name, he just called it ‘Little’, but always coming around the same time in the evening, when Silver was preparing a meal.

He could have had a maid do it, but Silver found something quite enjoyable in the art of cookery, something about the way that he could put his own unique twist on classic recipes, and the way that whoever he was dining with for the night would savour their meal, before their dessert upstairs.

But tonight, it was just Little that joined him, jumping up through the window that he’d left open to allow them in, and then down again, to slink around his ankles and serve as a tripping hazard as he searched for the bundle of rosemary in the cupboard.

He kept some fish, usually just tinned mackerel, for Little, but as he was cooking fish for himself that night, he had put some to the side, covered with a glass dome, for Little to eat with him.

“If you will be patient, we can sit down and eat together.” Silver said, finding the herbs out, more for garnish than anything, in some of the more high tech worlds that he had visited (he hadn’t particularly enjoyed them even if the mobiles had made finding partners so much easier)he could have made a killing posting pictures of his meals to one of the various social media sites that they all seemed to have. Instapin or something like that, he couldn’t remember.

He scooped Little up and put them on a cushioned chair, he then frowned and left the room. He came back in with two more cushions, picked Little up again (who had jumped up onto the counter to sniff at his meal) and set him on top of the two cushions on top of the chair, so that he could reach his plate.

“There we go, a little more civilised.” He collected their plates and set Little’s down. “Bon Appetite.” He had a glass of wine by his seat and toasted the kitten. “What a way to spend a birthday.”

I mean, it’s not really his cat, but the cat does have him very well trained?

I actually fucking adore you for cranachan being there. I live in France and at Uni we have a lot of international dinners and since I’m veggie and have no oven whatsoever (rather shit) cranachan is always my beloved in this situation. It’s funny how many people can’t do the ch sound right either, it’s fabulous sharing cracking food from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 especially cause everyone thinks its unremittingly abysmal. Also had not a clue about the chicken tikka masala legend Ali Ahmed Aslam who’s from my own city and this post prompted some reminisces about the phenomenal curries that we have been honoured to witness and found out that my da loves the Shish Mahal and frequented it a fair bit in the old days though his preferred method of self-immolation was a chicken bhuna. Thanks for this post, much cherished though I have a wretched yearning for a good scone, not really an option in Normandie lol.

No, they’re one of my fave couples, they are deeply in hate/love and together forever!

Silver: Nothing ever pleases you, does it?

Vale: Not anything you do, no.
