LOVING the edits w the "they both reached for the gun" song but I can't help but wonder what the gun would be in the aftg universe

regulus and sirius, but its the bittersweetness when your older sibling leaves you behind in the toxic household that they've always been the buffer for, when they can finally escape to live on their own, even if it is eight hours away, only to be seen once or twice a year, if that

regulus and sirius, but its feeling happy for them, that they can move on to a better stage in life, leaving their childhood behind them to hopefully forget all they've endured

regulus and sirius, but its the almost unreasonable sensation of betrayal that they could so easily leave you behind to suffer alone while they go on to live a happy life, knowing that you will never cross their mind unless you are forced upon it

hi, so i'm essentially beta reading my best friend's first ever fic, and thought i'd try to boost it. kudos and comments are greatly appreciated as motivation for two severely depressed people using this as a way to distract ourselves. we're working on editing, so pls be patient with us, but the first couple of chapters are out!

Ozai is so pathetic, like that “take his bending away haha he’s harmless now” trick would never have worked on Zuko, if you took his bending away he’d just grab his swords and come at you twice as hard, Azula doesn’t have swords or anything but she’s pretty good at hand to hand and amazing at talking her way out of problems, Iroh bust himself out of prison with no bending at all, meanwhile Ozai? Gets his bending taken away and then just collapses, doesn’t even try anymore, then just sits in prison and tries to get into Zuko’s head some more, he could have trained up and tried to break out too! But no! Bet he can’t break steel bars with his bare hands. Bet he can’t kick a steel lever in two. Bet he can’t even do a flip.

Also we never really see him do any really impressive firebending apart from when he has magic comet power, I guesss he shoots some lightning at Zuko, but that’s it and Azula is still better at the lightning thing. Azula has blue flames. Zuko can do firebreakdancing and bend with his swords. Does Ozai, who is not 14 years old, have blue flames? No he doesn’t.

He didn’t even do his coup himself, Ursa had to kill Azulon for him! Could have just challenged Iroh to an Agni Kai for the throne but he didn’t bc he knew he’d lose.

And then he only ruled for like 6 years! He lost a war that had been going on for 100 years bc of a bunch of kids.

Loserlord indeed

Does anyone have recommendations for intro to Greek mythology? I've read all of the Percy Jackson and TSOA, and I had a bit of a fixation in elementary school.

However, I want to get back into it, and I want to know what everyone's intro books are? It could be translations, plays, or retellings <3

i've been trying to decide whether I should read the secret history or if we were villains first.

i am aware that the secret history is the book that inspired a lot of what is modernly referred to as dark academia, and that if we were villains takes a lot of heavy influences from the novel.

i've heard that people think iwwv is tsh but watered down and not as good, so should I read the original and risk being disappointed, or read the modern one and miss references and parallels?

PSA: NEIL JOSTEN IS DEMISEXUAL. NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK YOU READ THE ONLY PERSON HE WAS INTERESTED IN IS ANDREW. KISSING GIRLS DOES NOT MAKE HIM BISEXUAL BECAUSE HE DID NOT FEEL ATTRACTION FOR THEM. SHIP WHATEVER YOU WANT I GUESS BUT DON’T BE ACEPHOBIC AND ACT LIKE HE WAS ATTRACTED TO WHOEVER YOU SHIP HIM WITH IN CANON. OR LIKE HIS SEXUAL ORIENTATION IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE HE KISSED A GIRL.

i think more muggle aus should just have remus as a werewolf anyway. like all fics should just have him be a werewolf. no explanation. no questions. he just is a werewolf, regardless of what type, whether it's like hp canon or closer to teen wolf or even like a twilight kind of thing. just. remus casually being a werewolf in the background of every fic he's in, no matter what era, genre, or setting of fic it is.

I love the vibe of this Alternate Jude card from the Enemies & Lovers game.

Our fandom forbearers did NOT suffer through Anne Rice, strikethrough, and other bullshit for fucking ACOTAR and Harry Potter fans to fucking ruin it for all of us by selling fanfiction. I am not losing novel length yaoi epics because some of you don't know how to act in fannish spaces and yes I do blame the booktokification of fanfic but I also blame those of you that treat fandom like content to consume and not a community to engage with.

I can't believe I'm gonna see Nova again.

If you'd told that to my 13-year-old self, she would've died, and come back just to see her.

Like: WE ARE GETTING A SPIN OFF it's just a matter of time to see them again and know more about and, and, and just love and enjoy them again.

I'm so happy I can't explain. It's just a warm feeling in my chest and something that reminds me to keep going because the very thing I wanted to happen is going to happen.

I can't wait to see Nova again, but at the same time, I'll wait ten years if I need to.

Nova's character has impacted me in a way no other character ever did, has done and I doubt will do.
