Here is a picture of my toes, as my entry for [personal profile] siegeofangels's Nail Polish Challenge (because I, too, possess a large box full of little bottles colored of lacquer which I will never use up).

The theme this week was Song Lyrics. You guys get to guess the lyric (hint: it will not be hard; it is one of the lyrics that's been stuck in my head for weeks...)

toes, with the nails (unskillfully) painted as if one long red banner is flying along each foot, against a background of black.

Colors: some black I pulled out of the half-off bin at a dollar store when I realized I didn't have any black; two different reds (layered, because the first one wasn't coming out saturated enough) which have been in the box so long I don't remember where they came from; a bronzey-gold originally from bath & body works that I inherited when I friend cleared out her collection.


Also, I posted at [community profile] kink_finders asking for fanfic about queer culture and queer history and got lots of excellent recs! So many in fact that, with my own stash of bookmarks, I am thinking of doing a recs set/compilation post/something. Anybody who isn't on that community have any more recs for me on the theme? :D (also, you should all go follow that community, it is a favorite.)

(also, the "queer history" tag on AO3 really ought to be canonized, unless there's an existing canon tag it should be linked to that I haven't found yet. When I get a couple of hours to wrangle I am going to be looking into that and related tags.)

Red: the blood of angry men!
Black: the dark of ages past!

I would love a rec list.
