Today’s workout: mowing the high grass in our apple orchard with an old human-powered scythe. I prefer it to a lawnmower or motor-scythe because I can be more selective in what I cut down (just the grass, leaving the wildflowers intact). It’s also more climate-friendly. The grass will go to the animals at our local deer park tomorrow.
Scythe whelding. *blink blink* am sorry @khorazir I'm PANicking. It's like Gay-panic just more inclusive. I do not know of another human who uses a scythe, which makes me Facinated, which is the basically the same as horny in my brain. Interesting human is endlessly fascinating.

More complaining snek. He can walk around just fine by himself, the hay fever that causes him to switch forms for hours is not his fault!
Aziraphale will never admit it but his Demon looks dreadfully cute on the lead and he is also far too worried about someone "rescuing" or killing Crowley to ever allow the snek demon out by himself.
In case y'all haven't heard the news--
I can Hear Crowley whining from here. He is so bored and while there is nothing in particular he wants to do he knows he wants to be with his Angel.
You can lose locations and have to rewrite scenes -- the scene with Drunk Crowley seeing the disembodied Aziraphale was, in the shooting script set at night in St James' Park and had no alcohol in it. Aziraphale was a reflection in the water. A day or two before we were due to shoot it we found that we couldn't shoot in St James' Park at night and I was asked if we could relocate it to a cafe. But we couldn't find a cafe at short notice -- we could, however find a pub. So I rewrote it to occur in the day, with alcohol, in a pub.

a lonely walk through the park after losing your best friend though
The man Ate that scene. Crowley: drunk, distressed, despairing. No crumbs.

OMG @kitten-kin you are the best! This is so sweet of you (pun fully intended) 🥳❤️😎
@ my fellow adults who use tumblr a lot:
can you PLEASE put your age in your about/sidebar and make sure it’s accessible on mobile. imo if you’re an adult esp 20+ it’s a little weird that you wouldn’t have your age readily available on your blog. if you’re reading this now and you don’t have your age listed, please rectify that. i feel like teenagers get lured into talking to adults in fandom/lgbt spaces that they may not have intentionally sought out because they think they’re talking to other teenagers, and this can lead to a lot of other – much more insidious –problems
Can you guys step out of the tumblr “everyone over 20 is inherently predatory and creepy towards children” bubble for once and consider that encouraging people to give up their personal information for the imagined safety of the community is like…not safe?
this advice doesn’t even make sense for multiple reasons; if someone is intent on preying upon minors, all they have to do is follow your advice and lie about their age, being over 20 doesn’t mean you can’t be preyed on yourself, you should never be coerced into giving up your privacy on social media (seriously, did a fed write this?), and promoting the idea that turning 20 means your interactions with younger people should be viewed with suspicion is absolutely harmful, like OP do you have any common sense? At all?
“ignore your own privacy boundaries and discomfort and if you don’t idk 🤔sounds a lil sus 2 me, pedophile” will you guys stop larping as conservative politicians for one second please
think-of-the-children fearmongering is not the same thing as actually protecting minors
You’re talking about - much more insidious - problems while telling people if you don’t do what I tell you, you might be a threat to the safety of our community, like okay Dubya!
Let me tell you about the insidious things that happened when I was young in fandom spaces and older fans became my friends
1. I was taught real sex ed by a midwife, including a lot of pros and cons of various birth control
2. I learned you can just get anything printed into a book and having it in a physical book don’t legitimize something
3. I learned how to enjoy other cultures without making people from those cultures uncomfortable
4. I realized my guardians, while better than my past guardians, were still abusive and what I was experiencing was not healthy, even if distressingly common
5. I learned generosity without ulterior motives actually did exist
6. I learned I don’t have to abandon the things I enjoy as I get older.
7. I was taught ways to treat people differently in deference to their age while still treating them as peers.
(they treated me as an equal, but I was not included in any sexual discussions, for example)
8. I learned that friendships don’t have to be quid pro quo
All of these things super insidious and destructive to the conservative agenda.
Destroying the links between generations is part of how the powerful keep us from forming communities and bettering our lives. Don’t do the masters’ work for them.

Y'all need some queer fandom aunties in your lives, clearly.
I just spent half an hour infodumping to my heart horror partner about how much I enjoyed the queer Jewish horror movie, Attachment. It's such a wonderful mix of two women in love and the feeling of growing up Jewish, trying to find your place in your history threaded with being new and alone in a kind of mysticism and religion and culture that's unfamiliar and all of it tied together by shared love reaching through from both directions. For me it was a deeply satisfying romance and horror movie with both the comforting familiarity of being in a Jewish family alongside the ways it can be chafing or oppressive. It's probably not going to be for everyone, but it felt ultimately like a movie about kindness and love and most of all carrying your history forward as you change and grow.
Watched this with my nonbinary wife and it works so good, had a little cry.
RIP Angelo Badalamenti 🖤 this recounting is one of my favorite behind-the-scenes moments. He's so proud here, and he's right to be.
Please read the whole post it’s so worth it I can’t reblog the full thing cause my tumblr app gets stuck if I try, but I swear the long post is worth it, it got lesbian rivals turned to lovers weddings (several weddings!) And a lot of gifs, hugs and kisses, and also a little sweet fight turned dance at the end. This post just made me invested into Hockey, something I would have never thought.
Is there such a thing as a Johnlock Hockey AU? With them on rival Teams falling in love or something? Anybody knows some? If you squint very badly the gif up there with long black curly hair and short blonde hair could be Johnlock. Should I tag some fandom people if they want some fanfic ideas? @raina-at @helloliriels @sarahthecoat @topsyturvy-turtely hope this was alright
Oh my god the fandom is blessed I actually found a hockey AU fanfic, John being an hockey player and Sherlock an ice skater. Here is the fic by @earlgreytea68 omg definitely on my to be read list now thank you 💜
Oh my god I just turned on the telly, what’s on austrian tv right now? Ice hockey worldchampionship austria vs america. I’m SCREAMING

I will always and forever headcanon that Bond actually really likes animals, and nobody will ever talk me out of this belief.
He sneaks food to Q’s cats when Q’s back is turned. If he’s out on a mission and a stray dog wanders over, Bond gives it a pat. He throws the last of his bagel crumbs to a nearby pigeon.
He’s comfortable with animals and they tend to like him. Both because of his Charisma and because he’s very calm and laid back with them. I believe this with my whole heart.
I think he just enjoys the simplicity of animals. They are not committing treason! They have never heard of ‘international espionage’! He doesn’t have to worry that they’re part of a conspiracy! 90% of their concerns boil down to ,‘Do you have food and if so, are you going to give me some?’ The other 10% boils down to, ‘Is there another animal in my territory, and if so, should I fuck them or fight them or both??’
And I think Bond enjoys that. He likes their straightforward nature.
I’ve never been to this hill before or even heard of it but I am here now and ready to die on it. Actually? No. I am here to defend it. I am here to kill on this hill. I am going to bury so many bodies in this hill the summit is going to double.
It would be so restful for his poor battered heart to know exactly where he stands. ♡
A guard dog is slavering for his blood? Shows loyalty and faithfulness and a protective nature, and he respects that even though he’d like to keep his blood inside his body, thank you very much, pup. A random stray pledges its eternal fealty to him because he gave it the other half of his beef toastie? He seriously thinks about where he could stash a street dog while he completes his mission and then puzzles over the logistics of smuggling a ragged fleabag across one ocean and three borders and does his lease even allow for pets??
Q is falling over himself apologizing when Bond snatches back a hand now sporting some rather nasty scratches, but the double-oh is smiling. And he’s still smiling weeks later even though the cats haven’t warmed up to him much. The field agent seems to be honored by the cold shoulders and venomous hisses, and when Q asks if he subscribes to the ancient Egyptian notion that cats were to be worshipped as gods, actually laughs a little.
“They’re very honest. I like that.”
Joining @kitten-kin on this hill!
I headcannon that Bond has a Rottweiler, it is a very large and intimidating male named Cassius (don't ask me why, my brain wrote this HC ages ago) Cassius was originally a Cane Corso because YouTube was Saturated with the twit and his videos. But rotties are my fav breed so James has one.
Anyway.
Cassius, Never Cassie! Is very well behaved, very alert, clearly protective dog. However Cassius, like his furfather is a slut for attention. "Good boy" get his immediate attention and if you are not prepared for it you'll be terrified.
Hesitant pets are accepted but a good ear scratch turns into a Lean, turns into a Flop. Belly rubs are Cassius' favourite thing. The other 00s tease Bond that like dog like owner and James ignores them because while they'll pick on him mercilessly they would never be cruel to Cassius.
The minions, oh dear gods the minions. Cassius' 1st visit caused a minor panic but now he is thier unofficial Mascot. Cassius Loves it in Q-branch because they are always at their desks to give him attention and they Always have snacks!
Entire email threads have gone out explaining what's dog safe and what's not. What his favourite treats are, his slight lactose intolerance and the consequences of leaving a 00, particularly That 00, with a farty dog!
Cassius favourite person in my maladaptive day dream is me. However in cannon I would say Eve, she has long nails, gives the Best scratches and the click of her heels is often accompanied by the sound of claws. Cassius stays politely in a loose heel and Eve has learned to brace herself for the pack lean when she stands still.
James very quickly accepted that his dog was gregarious, like himself, liked attention, like himself, and would need a 10km run at least twice a week because he Cannot stop anyone feeding his dog.
There is a roster of pet sitters when 007 is on a mission, it was initially mostly Eve however the minions got in on it and then the 00s refused to be left out.
Doggie Jackets! In my maladaptive daydreaming I tailor a suit vest for Cassius. James dislikes dog clothing but appreciates the workmanship. I think Everyone Else, Loooooves putting the scary scary Rottweiler in cozy Cutesy dog jerseys. James has added this to his internal list of "Things people do to his dog" and at least the jerseys don't require more exercise.
someone sent me this song in a request awhile ago and i pretty much have listened to it every day since
