I’ve gotten a friend into A Stain and I cannot overstate how fast I texted her about this update!! Like I saw the post and my consciousness beamed directly into hers basically.
AND GODDAMN WHAT A CHAPTER
It nourished my soul ❤️
Title: A Stain that Won’t Dissolve Rating: Explicit Pairing: Alex/Sebastian Tags: Hurt/comfort, aged-up characters (mid 20s), minor character death, angst, injury, grief, miscommunication, bullying, enemies to lovers, dubious consent, internalised homophobia, closeted character, past child abuse, dyslexia, antagonist farmer, unrequited love, pining, acceptance, top!Sebastian, bottom!Alex, power dynamics, happy ending.
Summary: Alex hates Sebastian – which is great because Sebastian more than returns the favour – and what starts out as revenge fantasy turns into unironic lust, which evolves into unrequited love. Alex gets a job, Sebastian marries the farmer, and both of them lose almost everything before finding each other again. A story of two mutual bullies who learn how to messily grow up.
A Stain that Won’t Dissolve - Chapter 57 - End a Fight With Flowers
In which Sebastian finally gets Alex to talk to him, but not without some pressure first, and Alex reveals a lot more than he meant to. At the end of their conversation, Sebastian presents Alex with something unexpected.
Someone please remind me not to write descriptions of myself when I'm depressed
Talk about an unreliable narrator jeez
Omg the Dwarf is so cute I just wanna snuggle them~
As usual, they are all on my red bubble, ready to be stuck onto whatever your heart desires
Finally, I drew the other half of the cast, it took a long time and a lot of effort, but here they are. I might make a third post where they're rearranged to make more sense and sell those as prints on Red Bubble. This was a lot of fun, I'm not sure if I will, but I might do expanded if this gets enough traction

And thats them all! Hope y'all enjoyed
Yes!! I need to see a synthesis of your own original ideas.
If I wanted to know what the primary source was about, I’d go read/watch/play it.
Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?
Does anyone have a good resource for describing men’s hairstyles? Specifically short hairstyles/cuts?
I know so much about women’s cuts but for guys I’m like idk it’s not a fade so imagine that
Camellia Station officially has over 500 hits!
I know that’s not indicative of people who read it in full or individual, unique users or whatever
Still though… it feels like a huge milestone and I’m proud of myself 🥹
It’s my first long fic (and my second fic since I started writing fiction four months ago). Idk just feels special.
If you’re interested, check it out on AO3!
Jeremy Brett was easily the best Holmes
I had to download the episode and cut out this scene because I need this clip from Granadas The Speckled Band. It's the scene that made me fall in love with Jeremy Brett. <3
The laugh! The smile! This man was such a treasure. <3 <3 <3
Lillian Gish in Night of the Hunter (Charles Laughton, 1955)
This. This x1,000.
Comments nourish my soul in a way nothing else can.
I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter
Yay!! Shells is back!!
Elliott and Willy being pals and swapping writing tips/life advice soothed my soul in a way I didn’t know I needed ❤️
