Also on DW, ao3 and older, more secret places, as narie. Currently thinking about Hiram Nightingale, Temeraire, Natasha Pulley without the misogyny and any slightly angsty Age of Sail captain I can get my hands on. Old man yaoi appreciator. Low traffic.

Been at home with the flu for a week now and I'm 1. So bored if being ill 2. Not sure I'll be well enough tomorrow to get back to work 3. Out of things to read. Please send suggestions.

Grandma fic remains the best thing I have ever written.

Mansfield Park is infinitely more boring than Persuasion, ngl. I've finished the sweater I was knitting but yeugh!

Nárië @narie.bsky.social · Sep 6

Omg it's so much fun where has it been all my life

Nárië @narie.bsky.social · Sep 6

You really cannot! But yeah move over, dogfuck rapeworld, antfuck cloneworld is here

Nárië @narie.bsky.social · Sep 6

It's amazing! Took me multiple readings to order what was going on because it's just, WHAT?!

Nárië @narie.bsky.social · Sep 6

Yep! Plus focusing on his younger years is fun because he's actually learning, not simply winning every single time.

"Further analyses solved the mystery: Iberian harvester queens clone M. structor ants to maintain a supply of their sperm. They then mate with those M. structor ants to produce hybrid workers that take care of the colony, including by building the nest and foraging for food."

I'm not making any of it up!

It's basically directly halfway between your two extremes!

Nárië @narie.bsky.social · Sep 4

I dunno if people have seen the news about the ants that keep cloned males from a different species around as sexual slaves but all I have to say is, once again nature is better than fiction. Omegaverse is tame in comparison.

The only thing I've found tolerable is the Nature's Miracle (or something like that) protein powder, in chocolate flavour. Blend it with a banana and some milk of your choice. Protein bars are horrific.

Watching! I finished it last night, it was such great times! I've read some of the books too, but got tired of Hornblower's inner voice and his impostor syndrome ngl!

Nárië @narie.bsky.social · Sep 2

Ok but seriously the way Pellew clearly adores Hornblower in a very avuncular manner is bringing me*so* much joy.

Even at second glance i thought that was GA and DD!

Alternated today between work and reading someone's masters thesis on the lives of British naval officer wives in the 18th century and I have no regrets, your honour. None.

You are very very right. She'd be so good at it, too. So competent.

One of my comfort foods is a Japanese mapo tofu recipe that gets all of its heat from a single red chilli, deseeded and sliced. When I was into c-ent i legit had nightmares about someone finding out and cancelling me for the cultural insensitivity of it all.

The people who sleep by resting their head on the tray table are a whole separate species. I cannot imagine my spine bending that far!

Nárië @narie.bsky.social · Jul 31

I've been looking into deezer for what I suspect are similar reasons to you but no idea about the local mp3s

Nárië @narie.bsky.social · Jul 28

Yeah I also wonder about this! I pay for the extra legroom and never regret it, and I don't actually have long legs! How tall people manage to squeeze into those miserable tiny seats is beyond me, tbh - and same with their width! Feels like they keep getting narrower!

I feel so perceived

The female gaze is a damp wet rat of a man who looks haunted by a ghost of sadness. Preferably he is literally wet, eg.

Have reached peak white girl in the tropics and arranged for an in-room massage on the first night of this work trip, but after hours of being pretzeled on a plane what else can you do, really.

Nárië @narie.bsky.social · Jul 9

Plus it'd be sponsored by Wolong Nuts so, like, there.

Invented a new drinking game at breakfast, which I'm calling "garlic roulette". Take turns grabbing from a container with a mix of chunky garlic cloves chopped in two and macadamia nuts, and eat whatever you grab. God speed.

You can't convince me ZZS and WKX wouldn't troll each other like this.
