AKA Stevie_Foxx on AO3 and Dwarf Telenovela Central. Cranky, 60, eclectic feminist woman with the manners of British great aunts and a mouth like an ill-brought up sailor. I re-blog things I intend to use/try/stare at as they make me happy. Some of these may be NSFW/adult, so you have been warned. As it’s happening more now, there are blogs run by under 17s. Sorry, but if I find you’re under 21, I will block you. I'm happy to chatter and, while I'm thinking of it, if you run a porny blog, please drop me a note and let me know you're actually interested in the recipes, fan stuff, etc. that I post. I used to just block but I've been getting so many, lately, I'm going to report them as bots. If you’re a nazi, terf, or don’t support BLM then fuck off my blog, I don’t tolerate assholery. Also I reblog a lot of LotR and Hobbit stuff . I utterly 'ship' Ori and Dwalin (#dwori, #Orwal). http://archiveofourown.org/users/Stevie_Foxx .

getting lost in boston is fun because I turned around on a street corner three times and some guy yelled "hey stupid! the bus is that way!" very helpful interaction and accurate insult, 10/10 no notes

one time I walked around a building a couple times looking for a bathroom and this guy went "this bitch thinks she's on a merrygoround, where the fuck are you tryna go? bathroom? one floor down to the right behind the door that says bathroom."

My very first time in Boston. I was absolutely miserable, trying to drag my giant suitcase up a lengthy set of stairs in the pouring rain. This guy who had already reached the top looked back at me with the most pure expression of disgust I’ve ever seen in anyone’s eyes, marched back down the stairs, grabbed my suitcase, carried it to the top, left it there for me, and walked away without ever saying a word. I think about him often.

For the people in the notes going "why is Boston like this": a) the insults are a way to show you have no ulterior motives when helping someone (and don't need to be thanked or repaid), and b) Boston was settled by the Irish

also the Italians. mixing Irish and Italian sociocultural attitudes had the effect of multiplying the Sass Levels by the power of infinity, in the sense that you get all of the clever dry wit of the Irish and all of the bitchy gossipy condensation of the Italians rolled into one very stereotypically overly-friendly American package.

also worth noting that who you are to them doesn’t matter. they’ll talk to strangers like that and will also talk to their best friends like that. they’re just Like That.

More from the notes:

Yeah. Everyone is a busy and rather exasperated adult relative and they can’t believe you’re not behaving properly. If you’re new to Boston and driving, you will end up on Storrow Drive and you will be glared and honked at into driving correctly!

This is the Witches of Scotland Tartan, designed to memorialise those who suffered as a result of The Witchcraft Act between 1563 and 1736.

The Black and Grey represent the dark times of the period as well as the ashes of those burned. But what’s incredible here is the thought put into the thread counts.

1563 and 1736 are both shown through the thread count and the white check of 3 threads represent the Witches of Scotland’s main goals of ensuring a pardon, an apology and memorials.

An apology was secured by both the Scottish Parliament and the Church of Scotland. and a legal pardon was consulted on but as far as I’m aware hasn’t been implemented.
