Also, AO3 is not allowing me to put kudos for some reason so:
❤️
Yup. I guess I'm writing Moder Day AUs now.
In this one Ashoka is a fanfiction writer for a Star Wars-like franchise. A few months back a mysterious archive user by the name of Skyshale started gifting her podfics of all her works featuring her favorite ship. She's left many comments and likes, but the user does not answer, and does not leave author's notes. All she knows is their voice. But that's enough to fall for.
After shoving Hansel in the oven, the witch turns to Gretel - who is currently fending the witch off with a gingerbread chair - and says:
“I can’t believe you thought a trail of breadcrumbs would save you. I mean, honestly, this is a forest! It’s full of animals. Honestly, the very idea that a dumb shit like you thought you could get the better of me is absurd.”
Gretel hits her in the face with said chair. To be fair to the witch, she takes the chairshot like a champ.
“Ow!”
“Did you know,” says Gretel, “that crows are capable of facial recognition?”
“Eh?” Says the witch, clambering to her feet and pulling a candy cane sledgehammer off the wall. “What’s that got to do with anything?”
“Not only that,” Gretel continues, “but they can remember both friends and enemies. And they’ll often follow people they remember as friends.”
The two fence with their sugared weapons for a moment, before the witch knocks the chair out of Gretel’s hands.
“Enough with the bird facts! Honestly, this whole attempted escape has been utter clownshoes. Get in the fucking oven!”
She seizes Gretel by the collar. Gretel immediately sandbags, letting her whole body go limp. This eminently practical defense forces the witch to try and deadlift her. Which is hard, as the witch often skips leg day.
“For example,” Gretel says, as the witch struggles and grunts, “if you feed crows a lot of breadcrumbs, they’ll probably start to see you as a friend and follow you in the hope of more food.”
The witch stops. Outside, she hears the thunder of wings.
“They’ll even bring you shiny things they find as presents!” Says Gretel, as a corner of the gingerbread ceiling is suddenly cut away by a large crow with a knife in its mouth.
“Oh shitballs.” Says the witch, as the crows descend. “I hope you know this is a great unkindness.”

No pressure tags :) @stagbeetleboy @rochenn @thebadchoicemachine @trashdragon4 @bluedeedeedoop @knitingtoday
Sorta spoilers for Harrow the Ninth book…(I just finished prologue)
Fuck Gideon was not listed as Harrow’s cavalier. If she’s not dead is she incarnated somewhere else? Is her soul or spirit or some shit stuck between life and death. Ahhhhh :
Also, on the Paridos part…I love bitchy Harrow. Gideon thought she was underprepared to be a cavalier, bro Harrow is so lucky she had Gideon.
Who knows maybe I’ll add something later after I’ve finished the book and something else crazy as shit happens.
This is so cool! I’d say my favorite versions of Velma are “Where Are You?” And “What’s New!” But those are what I grew up with so I’m probably a bit biased. I’d say Velma in Mystery Inc. has a few good traits I like (such as being a Hex Girl super fan).
The artwork is beautiful!
I've been doing my own rewrite of the show #Velma These are the pictures I drew the 1st episode
