So it was a busy day at work but it being online work, I was at my desk, and had a lot of those moments where I have to click a thing, wait for it to respond, then change a number, and wait for it to take, and then click another thing, so.
I read an ebook of Jane Austen’s Persuasion that I had checked out of my library using the Libby app, which I recommend to everyone. (it’s amazing how much reading you can get done with a Kindle just lying on your desk while you’re working on bullshit that doesn’t take much attention. I should do this more, but somehow I usually fritter it away on trying to write something, which, well, it’s harder.)
Yes, somehow I had made it through two different extremely competitive high schools and a bachelor’s degree in literature and also 39 years of life without ever having read Persuasion, and since I’ve only watched like ten movies in my life, I hadn’t seen any adaptations of it, but a while back somebody had a gifset from some movie-or-TV adaptation of it (i’m sorry, I don’t know which), and someone had commented that it would be really well-suited to the Raksura books, the way their colonies work with a whole court structure, etc., and I like, got it, but I didn’t get it get it, so I read it today and oh now I definitely get it get it.
So, I don’t have time to write it either, but. I’m going to self-indulgently and in too much detail outline it, since I won’t get to write it.
Keep reading
oh no i just found this again 😭 and i still don’t have the tiiiiiime and nobody else has written this forrrr meeeeee 😭
