besides this icon which others would you consider using?

Gabriel Byrne in Miller’s Crossing… “Sister, when I’ve raised hell, you’ll know it.”

I’ve always wanted to try Jeremy Irons in The Borgias… it works on a number of levels.

Or more likely than not, some version of Matthew Rhys in The Americans.Read the rest “besides this icon which others would you consider using?”

Hi hi it’s me, random anon again. I hadn’t thought of the “Drown for Daddy” story in a while and it had almost slipped my mind before you mentioned it in your last answer. (I’m writing again to gush about it so please don’t mind me) THAT WAS SO WELL WRITTEN ARGHHHHHHHHHKSDGHBGDSC. You write good stories, freaky-old-man. I wonder where you get the inspiration.

I never do this, but this old-ish ask about inspiration gives me an excuse. I should mention the girls who have helped fuel my process over the years.

For starters, there’s the girls who long ago decamped from Tumblr: first and foremost Bows, then anythingbuttpure and LPS.… Read the rest “Hi hi it’s me, random anon again.

FYI

I’ve got family medical emergency stuff going on, so that’s why I’m even more scarce than usual.

I love that you changed your icon to Mr Wednesday <3 are you watching American Gods? xxx

We’ve recently watched the first hours of American Gods, Twin Peaks, Harlots, Class, The Handmaid’s Tale, Fleabag, Taboo, Big Little Lies, and The Young Pope.

Early impressions of each: great, transcendent, clever, dumb fun, brilliant pain, fourth-wall-breaking awesomeness, quite promising if you can handle the Tom Hardy-ness of it all, well-made but sterile, and holy shit I want some of whatever they’re on.
