anghraine: a picture of the flag of ebonhawke from guild wars (ebonhawke)
I vastly prefer posting at DW (ALL GLORY TO F-LOCK AND ICONS), but … /sigh.

(ETA: *whistles*)
anghraine: rows of old-fashioned books lining shelves (books)
Mrs Bennet had no turn for economy, and her husband’s love of independence had alone prevented their exceeding their income.
 
But Mrs Bennet is just worried about their economic future and Mr Bennet never thinks of saving money!

(What if—bear with me—characters in an Austen novel are a little more complex than that?)
anghraine: elizabeth and darcy responding to their engagement in "austen's pride" (darcy and elizabeth (proposal))

anghraine: a piece of paper covered in handwriting and a fountain pen; text: writer (writing)
me: maybe I could write a chapter today!

me: *writes half a page* okay, done now
anghraine: a picture of a black-haired, golden-eyed woman with a dagger in her hand and scar on her cheek [sebille from divinity: original sin ii] (sebille)
I picked up Divinity:OS 2 again—I’ve never quite finished the Definitive Edition, and I forgot just how much I like it! And I finally got Lohse and Sebille to declare their love <3
anghraine: rows of old-fashioned books lining shelves (books)
I made an upbeat instrumental playlist for working on fic / essays, which is normally fine, but it’s a bit surreal to be writing about abuse while in the background, it’s like … cheerful mandolins.
anghraine: jyn erso and cassian andor unnecessarily cooperating to bypass security with an imperial officer's hand (jyn and cassian [one-person job])
A year later (>_>), I made some progress on ad astra!

Jyn and Cassian both nodded at Leia. This was her call, Jyn felt, and at a look, she knew Cassian felt the same.

On Solo’s other side, Luke shuffled; Jyn had no idea why, beyond the obvious. Nerves, perhaps.

For a few seconds, they just waited. Then Leia straightened up to her full height, such as it was, and squared her shoulders.

She said, “Set the coordinates for Yavin Four.”
anghraine: an armoured female angel holds a sword aloft (aurelia)
I dug up the official WOTC page on my clerical patron for the next (nb: now current) D&D campaign, and … lol, she’s a CR 23 dual blade-wielding legendary commander with 26 STR, 25 WIS, and 30 CHA. Truly, worthy of my service.

(And she's Lawful Good! What an icon.)
anghraine: a photo of green rolling hills against a purply sky (hertfordshire) (herts)
I said:

don’t vagueblog, don’t vagueblog, don’t vagueblog

#the vaguest of vagueblogs #i just saw a post that was so 'wtf' that it's..... okay. no. #nope #vagueblogging intensifies

to-kill-a-mockinggirl (understandably) replied:

she says, vagueblogging.

I said:

I even gave it my vagueblog tag! But hey, hopefully I was so vague this time that nobody knows what I’m annoyed about. :P

#EXCEPT ME #i assure you it's suitably petty
anghraine: vader stopping a blaster with his hand; text: just another skywalker family holiday (anakin [skywalker family holiday])
In regard to this, an anon said:

If you'd like something a little less cheerful, may I suggest Ramin Niroomand's piano (especially Soul Survivor, but really all of them)? Youtube channel is called InFAFrock. One of my favorite authors wrote one of the most beautiful fics I've ever read to his piano covers. Love.

I replied:

Hey, thanks! I listened to a couple and they sound very cool. He’s also got a song on Spotify I liked—“Last Man Stranded.”
anghraine: elizabeth bennet wearing a pink bonnet in "austen's pride" (elizabeth (musical))
Not at all related to the former vagueblogging, and not actually vague:

I gather that Courtney Milan writes good books, but she’s arguing on Twitter that “in trade” == “in the slave trade” and ???

??????

?????????????????????

It's all the weirder because the context was P&P, where 'in trade' includes figures like Mrs Bennet's father—a rural attorney. Darcy's grandfather would be much more likely to be involved in slavery, IMO.
anghraine: david rintoul as darcy in the 1980 p&p in a red coat (darcy (1980))
I already vented on FB, but I’m still aggravated, so—
