I fucking rolled a nat 20 for Riz relaxation track and have decided that when he and Fabian make out for the first time late at night, he almost immediately loses his disadvantage on perception and deception lmao

the funniest thing I could do in this throne is not mine is roll relaxation tracks for the Bad Kids while they're on their Yulenear break lmao

Hey there! I'm ruazue, a huge fan of Looking Beyond. I was wondering if I could get your blessing to translate Looking Beyond into Korean? I noticed someone tried this before but probably had to stop since it's such a massive undertaking. Thankfully, translation tools have come a long way recently, and I'd love to share this amazing fanfic with more people. I'll provide links to all platforms if you give me the green light. Thanks for writing such an incredible story!💫

That's super flattering, bc every day I debate about retiring that fic, I wrote it when I was 16 and I hurried to finish it before I started nursing school, and it SHOWED.

You're more than welcome to translate it, it is a massive undertaking, as you said, I will say that I'd rather it not be on wattpad, as someone stole it under the guise of translating it.

@dullgecko wrote something awhile back about touching a goblin so high up on their tail being super scandalous and now I've written something into this throne is not mine (ch25) along that vein lol:

"Humans are especially bad at keeping their hands to themselves.” To make a point, his tail gave a flick, sliding through the fingers of Fabian’s other hand, unable to resist toying with it. “Only half,” Fabian grinned, his hand sliding further up, so close to the erogenous zone that Riz flushed turquoise. “You, uh, you really shouldn’t do that around my family,” he choked out. Fabian let go of his hand to catch his chin and tilt his head back, Riz’s mouth mere centimeters away, his breath puffing over a lip split from gnawing with unease. Riz swallowed audibly. “You like it.” That forced Riz to swallow again. “It’s a, a goblin thing,” he stuttered out. “Touching that high up can -ngh- its -mm—” He lost his train of thought when Fabian stroked back up, kissing him lightly. “So, don’t touch your tail that high up around your mom?” he asked. “Hm?” Riz said, catching his fingers in Fabian’s hair, sinking into his bun and pulling him in for a more sound kiss.

Just thinking about this throne is not mine and the dichotomy of Sklonda having so many baby Riz pics to show Fabian and Fabian doesn't have baby pics, his pics start when he's a few years old, when Cathilda officially becomes the Seacaster maid.

Currently imagining Baby Riz constantly flopping over because his ears are a massive part of his weight. Like he's sitting down, probably trying to eat his foot, and flop he's on the floor.

He keeps his big floppy ears down most of the time because they overbalance him so badly. Sometimes he'll hear something interesting, perk up an ear to listen and OOPS there he goes. He grows out of it by about 2 years old though.

Murph, extremely grudgingly: ...I will allow the shenanigans

Murph, SECONDS later: wait you're actually going to do it??

[harpers-tartarus]

Just me making a conspiracy board about the relationship between Galicaea and Sol and the destruction of Ankarna and Cassandra for my fabriz fic 👀👀😈

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Brennan said specifically that SOL didn’t steal Cassandra’s partners domain.

But we know that Galicaea and Sol were plotting against Cassandra. Galicaea seems to be no stranger to destroying a god and/or scooping up their domain.

And does anyone else find it really odd that the idiot corn god doesn’t just have corn powers, but also powers that seem to relate a whole lot to the powers of sun and summertime?

And the Unnamed God became not just a God of Rage, but also a God of the Nine Hells. Someone in opposition to the “Good” gods. Like maybe your wife’s sister and/or idiot nephew. And maybe they told this god that Cassandra had been behind their plot. So in opposition to her. Taking away one of the few supports she has outside her toxic family

Another thing… despite Riz/Murph’s insistence on saying “Demon” Bakur is a pit fiend. A devil. In service to a god of devils. Demons are famously opposed to Devils. Demons supported the Nightmare King, and it was with the help of devils that she was sealed in Sylvaire the first time. Which the Unnamed Rage God or their servants might do as an act of vengeance for Cassandra’s “betrayal”

There’s a lot of thread to unravel and I feel like Sol, Galicaea, and Helio are at the center of this mess

will KLCK's file make an appearance soon in your fabriz fic?

GOD

I won't say soon, but I do imagine that when it finally gets into Riz's hands, he reads it once and then twice and then his expression just goes flat.

Bc that's what she's jealous of? That his dad was killed by Kalvaxus?? Are you shitting me? Riz thought he died of illness, his MOM lied to him for years bc she was so scared of him looking into his dad's death and ending up the same way, which is so fucking valid of her (Sklonda, nothing you do would ever make me hate you), bc he absolutely would've.

He doesn't speak the rest of the night, letting his friends hold him tight as he processes that information.

Then the showdown happens in the cafeteria happens and Gorgug snaps loudly "Why aren't the police talking to you?" he demands and attention is fixed on them. "Your party member's body was found in the woods and you didn't fucking blink. If Kristen's body was found in the woods after she'd been missing for months, we'd be a fucking mess, pretty fucking suspicious...that's your old stomping ground isn't it, Copperkettle? Does your knife match her injures, I wonder?"

"Oh, shit," Fig whispers heatedly, "go off, Gorgug!"

I remember when ASITF had a beta, who was chill and cool and who I only really butted heads on Sabe's eye color following her shift on Malachor (she thought since Sabe was a grey jedi, her new eye color should be grey, but as the writer and the more logical, I won with 'her eyes were yellow as a sith and brown before that, ofc they should be fucking gold' it was a whole thing)

and we haven't spoken in YEARS

and now she's posting all this Trump shit and I'm like...thank god you're not editing my shit anymore bc everything I write is queer and liberal af. We came at a fork in the road and I need my works to be as far from her brain as possible.

[harpers-tartarus]

What's so funny is that I am actively reading @whatisamildopinion's aasimar!riz fic (which is absolutely wonderful and the highlight of my week) and now I'm writing a joke in my fabriz fic where ppl keep calling Riz a celestial and he's exasperatedly trying to explain that just because he's a part time member of the LPRTF and his cleric spells have a celestial flavor to them, doesn't make him a celestial lmao

"Your dad's a celestial," Adaine says.

"Yeah! NOW!"

[harpers-tartarus]

sorry for biting you as affection it will happen again

[harpers-tartarus]

I will go on the record to say that Hope is most likely going to end up thrown in Azkaban after the dementor incident and has her wand snapped immediately and her resemblance to Sirius Black is uncanny when she is pulled out of the cell, utterly unfazed and ambivalent.

"I have no need for a wand," she says, "but I will sit down with a reporter to release an exposé on my mistreatment by your government, which should be payback enough for a broken tool."

Dumbledore doesn't even bother trying to get her out of it and yet still wants her to come to Grim. Place and explain where she's been.

Ron shows up instead and says "I would never let her be surrounded by enemies on all sides unless I had no other choice."

"some magic is things and some magic is people" from MisMag2 is utterly chilling but so in line with BFI and its sequel, bc magic is literally going to die, it is going to be wrested from mortals. Creatures will keep their innate magic and mortals that make deals with gods, but wizards will be luckless.

Nicolas Flamel figured it out first, that there is value in the body of a dead creature, especially a dead godling, but the playing field gets leveled when the Great Blank Spot happens.

But when magic is all you know, you'll do anything for even a scrap of it.

Riz takes a nap. The Bad Kids theorize about Porter's involvement with Kalina.

[harpers-tartarus]

I saw some fabriz fanart from @funkylittleeel it totally lines up with my fic where Riz absolutely leverages kisses for Fabian doing well in school or Owlbears and he's pouting "Why can't I get another kiss??"

"Have you earned one?" Riz asks archly, impossibly amused.

Fabian turns so red and hides his face in the lunch table, nearly screaming.

"Why's Fabian in a state?" Adaine asks.

"He's not getting kissed until he passes his exam tomorrow," Riz says without looking up.

Kristen and Fig howl with laughter as Gorgug pats his shoulder heavily.

"I believe in you."

Kristen actively tries the first day back to school and then she sees Bobby Dawn trying to be all charismatic towards Riz and get him into the cleric class and she fucking knows what Riz's physical discomfort looks like

And she's like fuck it, I'm gonna prioritize Cassandra and the campaign

The Bad Kids fucking PLAN to take the Last Stand and it's so good

So, my fantasy high fic has temporarily completed, I will return to it one day so here are some things that I'm considering on dealing with when I do:

all the Bad Kids creeping into Riz and Fabian's room when they're sleeping to the point that when Sklonda checks on them in the morning, Riz is cocooned by his friends (and husband lol) and it warms her heart

Ix slaughtered her way into the palace and only one or two members of the Court of Stars make it out alive and that's only by her mercy as they took no part in the abduction of Prince Riz ("sorry Riz, you're still blood-related to the queen and are technically crown prince until Ix gives birth." "GODDAMMIT")

Aelwyn as the high mage to Queen Ix?? idk I'm still on the fence

Kristen didn't like Nara before she found out what she said to Riz and when they meet for the first time she says "Riz told me what you said, you can stay clear away from him."

Tracker has no idea what is going on, but Nara won't elaborate and Fabian has one hand on his hilt and another on holding Riz up on one arm

Riz faced with a Baron possessed Fabian and feeling so ashamed that his fear led to it

So many ppl shaming Hallariel's treatment of her own son

Telemaine does not understand Riz and Fabian's marriage and keeps getting hung up on the fact that he's a goblin, but he's going to have to get used to it; he's got a queen that's a goblin

Riz doesn't know how Bobby Dawn finds out that he multiclassed to cleric during his 'sabbatical' (he's already pissed about it being considered that and not what it was: a kidnapping) but he likes it even less when he has to tell the man that he's not multiclassing in school. He'll do it on his own until senior year, then he'll put in the paperwork. Bobby doesn't like that, but he likes that Riz is a goblin cleric even less. Sprak is the only one in his class and he's always getting penalized for literally nothing

Fabian and Riz being kind of a power couple and Riz doesn't understand it bc he's not cool. Fabian has to point out that he wears a suit sewn with celestial thread, he's got a killer sword, a badass gun, rings, and tattoos. He's cool as hell and hot as hell.

(Riz wants to hide in Fabian's backpack and scream)

Gorgug stressing to the max bc of Porter and he has a legit breakdown before Riz even admits that he thinks Porter's up to something

Fig is so determined to pull one over on Porter that she dials it up and starts talking about how her whole party keeps snapping on each other. Porter eats it up.

KLCK doesn't understand how they're all doing so well in the Last Stand when Gorgug and Adaine were at each other's throats the other day...something isn't right...

"Very good on paper, but no practical application." >:)

[harpers-tartarus]

The party staying a few extra hours in hell bc Fig wants to record her winter album with Gorgug and Riz falls asleep in Fabian's lap and Bill comes to sit down beside him, keeping his voice low and Fabian has to tell his dad 'actually we're married' and that makes Bill burst out with jubilation, so loud that Riz shoots awake and nearly vaults over the side of the ship lmao

Bill finds out about Riz and Fabian being a thing during the whole tattooing scene when he hears Riz say "Fabian, I love you, but you're a moron." And then fucking passes out. Iconic behavior. Greatest way to tell your father-in-law that you married his son lmao
