During the final six months of Donald Trump’s presidency, his administration carried out an unprecedented execution spree, killing 13 people on federal death row and ending a 17-year de facto federal execution moratorium.

Shortly after Joe Biden entered the White House, the Justice Department formally reinstated the federal execution moratorium and announced a sweeping policy review. But despite Biden’s campaign promise to work to end the federal death penalty, there has been little progress toward that goal.

Meanwhile, Trump, the GOP’s presumptive 2024 presidential nominee, has openly fantasized about executing drug dealers and human traffickers. He reportedly suggested that officials who leak information to the press should be executed, too. And behind the scenes, there’s a team of pro-Trump conservatives who are pushing for a second Trump term that involves even more state-sponsored killing than the first.

Last year, a coalition effort by conservative groups known as Project 2025 released an 887-page document that lays out policy goals and recommendations for each part of the federal government. Buried on page 554 is a directive to execute every remaining federal death row prisoner — and to persuade the Supreme Court to expand the types of crimes that can be punished with death sentences.

Gene Hamilton — a former Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security official under Trump, and the author of the transition playbook’s DOJ chapter — wrote that the next conservative administration should “do everything possible to obtain finality” for every prisoner on federal death row, which currently includes 40 people.

Read on for more about how the Project 2025 proposal envisions an extreme shift in how the death penalty is used in America.

Queer (any) Wind to oblivion please and thanku

I’m so on it

Summary: On Tetra’s ship, Wind celebrates a successful battle. Wild makes jokes. 554 words, fluff.

Pronouns: Wind no pronouns, Time xe/xem, Wild ae/aer, Four she/her

“Hah! That’ll show them. Sorry excuse for pirates,” Wind said. Wind was hanging onto a rope with one hand, leaned over the side of the ship waving the Phantom Sword at the retreating ‘pirates.’

“Aye!” Tetra’s crew cheered. The other Links cheerfully joined in the cheers. Wind beamed, smiling widely and chest bursting with pride. Wind straightened Wind’s back to stand as tall as possible and saluted the other heroes.

“I have to admit, that was pretty cool,” Time said.

“Pretty cool? That was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!” Wild exclaimed. Ae leapt over a cannon and all but tackled Wind, throwing a gleeful arm around Wind’s shoulder. Wind laughed and adjusted Wind’s feet so Wild wouldn’t fall.

“Wind, you have to teach me that move you did with the swinging and the swoosh and the HYAH!!!” Wild jumped forward, mimicking Wind’s earlier movements with extremely entertaining sound effects.

“No, no, it was more like a HYAAA!” Four interjected. She did a slightly different slashing motion.

“You’re both wrong,” Time said. “Just get Wind to show you before you embarrass yourselves any more.”

Time glanced at Wind, and Wind saw xyr smirk and the little gremlin twinkle in xyr eye. Time wanted a demonstration just as much as the rest of them.

Wind smirked and barely contained happy wiggles. Wind had a reputation to uphold, after all. “Alright, landlubbers, watch closely. If you-”

“All clear!” Tetra yelled from the helm. She gestured for Niko to take over the wheel then slid down the ladder.

“Good work crew,” Tetra said. Then she turned to Link with a smile and wiggled her eyebrows. “Shall we?”

Wind glanced between Tetra and the other Links. “Sorry, the demonstration will have to wait.”

“Aw,” Wild mumbled as ae dropped the rope ae had picked up.

“Where are you going?” Time asked.

“Post-battle captain stuff,” Wind said.

“Oh yeah?” Wild asked. Ae waggled their eyebrows suggestively and smirked. “Alone?”

It took a moment, but then Wind realized what Wild was suggesting. Wind’s cheeks went bright read and Wind’s ears dropped and pinned against Wind’s head. Wild grinned widely and made pursed aer lips to make an incredibly exaggerated kissing noise.

“Eugh, no, Wild!” Wind shoved Wild’s face and ae let aerself fall backwards into Four. Wild and Four burst into laughter as Four caught aer weight. “Neither of us are into that. And we’re 14!!!! Ugh. You suck.”

Wind smiled to let them know it was a joking response— they both loved teasing Wind, and they knew Wind was a good sport about it— but still flipped them off as Wind followed Tetra below deck. Wind glanced back before the door closed and saw Time lightly smacking Wild and Four over the head for their jokes.

Four wasn’t quick enough to escape. Wild vaulted aerself onto the mast and attempted to climb out of Time’s reach, but Time was quicker. Time grabbed Wild around the waist and tossed aer onto a pile of soft sacks. Wild flopped onto the sacks, giggling loudly, and quickly turned over to sprint away from Time and Four. Time watched with a small smile and crossed arms.

Wind rolled Wind’s eyes and shut the door. Wind hoped the others would be able to keep their shenanigans from destroying the ship until Wind and Tetra were done with their battle strategy discussion.

Canonically, how long has it been since Grian first met Mumbo till the current chapter of songbird? Like how many months? :0

Also is it okay to ask what age everyone roughly is? Both literally and physically. Since... Yknow- Supernaturals.

oh god okay uh, I used to actually keep track of what month it was when each fic took place but I stopped doing that DVDVFBTHG

if I had to give a super rough guess, I’d say maybe it’s been six or seven months??

and yes! I’ve done the math to the best of my ability LOL

grian - 28

mumbo - physically looks 26, literally? about ahhh 576?

scar - physically looks 24, literally? around 717

pearl - 28

grum - physically looks 13, literally? 554

During the final six months of Donald Trump’s presidency, his administration carried out an unprecedented execution spree, killing 13 people on federal death row and ending a 17-year de facto federal execution moratorium.

He reportedly suggested that officials who leak information to the press should be executed, too. And behind the scenes, there’s a team of pro-Trump conservatives who are pushing for a second Trump term that involves even more state-sponsored killing than the first.

Last year, a coalition effort by conservative groups known as Project 2025 released an 887-page document that lays out policy goals and recommendations for each part of the federal government. Buried on page 554 is a directive to execute every remaining federal death row prisoner — and to persuade the Supreme Court to expand the types of crimes that can be punished with death sentences. Gene Hamilton, the author of the transition playbook’s Department of Justice chapter, wrote that the next conservative administration should “do everything possible to obtain finality” for every prisoner on federal death row, which currently includes 40 people. “It should also pursue the death penalty for applicable crimes—particularly heinous crimes involving violence and sexual abuse of children—until Congress says otherwise through legislation,” he wrote. In a footnote, Hamilton said that this could require the Supreme Court to overrule a previous case, “but the [Justice] department should place a priority on doing so.”

Hamilton, a former Trump DOJ and Department of Homeland Security official, played a leading role in ending Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — the program that provided protections against deportation for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children — and the “zero-tolerance” border policy that resulted in separating children from their families.

If Trump returns to office, the scope for the death penalty would be expanded, per Project 2025 documents.

20 questions for fic writers

Thank you so much @thenookienostradamus and @lordoftherazzles for the tag...

Let's see...

1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 554 (with two not revealed yet as we speak...). Many of those are collections, though.

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 1,986,915 (erm...yeah...well)

3. What fandoms do you write for? Tolkien (The Hobbit, LOTR, The Silm). (+ the odd AU or Richard Armitage movie)

4. What are your top five fics by kudos? Tumblr Imagines (Wild Mix of everything) , October 2022 Ficlet run (same), A key change (Remix Fic), Black (Thorin x OC), Silm imagines and ficlets (Wild Mix again)

5. Do you respond to comments? Yes, in due time. I struggle a lot with being overwhelmed at times (imposter syndrome, fear of not knowing what to say, comments heaping up), but I am so thankful for every comment that I do try to answer them all in a timely manner.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I've written about 1k fics; I do not remember all of them :s I generally don't write angst, so I really couldn't say. Sorry :(

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Everything? I am a Happy Ending person, so most of my fics (eventually) get a happy ending :D

8. Do you get hate on fics? Not yet (crossed fingers). At times, I get comments I don't really understand (autism ahoi), but I hope that people didn't mean anything mean by it :)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? SMUT? ME? Noooo *cough*...Let's say it has happened! What kind? What kind do you want, baby? MF, FF, MM, trans characters, non-binary characters, threesomes, it has all happened. Sweet and tender? Check. Rough and dirty? Check. Dubconny and dark? Check. Just tell me what you want, and there is a good chance I've either done it or would do it :D

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I have written one crossover for an event (where characters go into a whole different franchise). Otherwise, I am an AU bitch. Disney movies, musicals, you name it.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Again, not that I know of.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Once for an event. Otherwise, I think one could call what @cilil and @melkors-big-tits did for the calendar co-writing. In a way, many collabs with artists are co-written. Any event collab is co-writing (to me). Me stealing @cilil's ideas is co-writing. Me asking for ideas on the @fellowshipofthefics and @tolkienpinupcalendar servers is co-writing. So...yes...yes I have, and I've loved it.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? Ori x OC, Maedhros x Fingon, Eönwë x Gothmog

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Black. It's one of my first fics, and there's only a chapter or so missing...but I don't know if I'll ever finish writing that last chapter. There are a few more where I've written 1-5 additional chapters and never uploaded them...for reasons (?). By now, I am too ashamed and lazy to get back to them.

16. What are your writing strengths? Versatility and speed. I am a mediocre writer in my 5th foreign language, and I make no bones about it. Nevertheless, I am willing to give anything and everything a try :D

17. What are your writing weaknesses? I am extremely wordy. It takes me too long to get to the smut. I refuse to describe settings and geography, so all my plots seem a bit floating and vague.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I avoid using languages I don't speak which includes Tolkien's languages. I am too afraid to make mistakes or to sound cringe to people who know better than me. As for RL languages...a word maybe, but a whole sentence (again) might feel contrived...IDK everyone does as they want, but I am not feeling it for myself.

19. First fandom you wrote for? Hamilton (and yes, those stories are orphaned and can never be traced back to me) Otherwise, the Hobbit LOL

20. Favourite fic you’ve written? Monkey-business, because I really liked writing that fic. It's a kitschy Hallmark Christmas story featuring Ori (not interesting, I know). But that's my personal fave lol...

Hmmm, let's tag @maglor-my-beloved, @lathalea, @scyllas-revenge, @laurfilijames, @middleearthpixie, @littlesweetdressmaker, @legolasbadass, @urwendii, @cilil, @the-red-butterfly, @fishing4stars, and @elentarial to get a good mix of people :D

My favorite Antonetta moment in Sword Catcher

One of the reasons that Antonetta is my favorite character is that nearly every piece of dialogue she has is calculated to direct a situation in a certain way, to gather information, and sometimes conveys hidden meanings with her words that give hints of her true intentions. I love the way we learn more about her character with subtle hints and implications. I think that there are two pieces of dialogue really give a great idea of who she is. When Kel asks Antonetta why she decides to hide her kindness on the Hill, she says:

"'Kindness and weakness are twinned, or are seen as such on the Hill,' she said. 'I recall long ago when Joss was kind. When Conor was kind. No longer. It is a defense as much as an affectation.'" - Sword Catcher, page 484.

Then, multiple chapters later during the Ascension Day party, Antonetta gets Kel (pretending to be Conor) alone, thinking that he is Conor of course. She is asking him to help her get out of a possible engagement with Artal Gremont, and she says:

"'You are kind,' she said. 'There are many who say you are not, but I know that you are. I know you can help.'" - Sword Catcher, page 554.

I love that we see her trying to get through to Conor and manipulate the situation in her favor by telling him that he is kind, and it directly contradicts what she tells Kel previously. This moment shows so much about who she is and how she interacts with the other nobles of the Hill. It is also clear that Antonetta is much more honest with Kel than others because he can see through her false persona.
