Some things I say to myself while watching The Last Kingdom:

“Uhtred, I love you, but you are a walking, talking disaster.”

“See, if Eddie would have listened more to his ‘uncles’ Uhtred and Finan, there would have been no reason for all the murder later.”

“Biggest injustice in the whole series: no naked Finan. Followed closely by Finan never getting to hit Aethelwold. He was always so done with him. And honestly, same.”

“Aelswith really went from ‘Uhtred, I hate you with ever breath in my body’ to ‘I’ll take a room with an ocean view.’ Enemies to, ah, roommates?”

“Ragnar, my sweet Dane boy. You never did anything wrong ever. I am sorry your brother’s an idiot.”

“Thyra deserved so much more.”

“Finan.” (Usually followed by a sigh and curses cause he has distracted me again from major plot points)

“Finan, I love you, and you look great, but I cannot watch this part again, my man. So, go be distracting somewhere else.” (As if this will magically change the editing and have the camera NOT be on him)

And lastly….

“I swear to God, 99.9% of Uhtred’s problems would be solved if he just, I don’t know, talked about his thoughts and feelings. Instead of picking up a sword and being a dick about it.”

I have dozens of AO3 tabs open on my phone. Many of them are my comfort fics that I’ll read at any given time on any given day if I just want to.

And I realised today that if something I write becomes a permanent tab on someone’s phone or computer, then the hours and hours of work and time and tears I spent creating it will be well worth it. 

So, write the thing. It’ll mean something to you, and you never know what it could wind up meaning to someone else.

I saw someone complaining that they had to get a new copy of War & Peace because their translation insisted on calling Prince Andrei "Andrew" and I'm sorry but that is so fucking funny....who on earth thought that was a good idea
