The stewards of the old world are always keen to give you a glimpse of their might... According to legend, the ancients built specialized chambers to seal away false prophets.

The Arcane is waking up.

A Different Kind of Magic

a bit of romance and magic, because Stephen may be a Master of the Mystic Arts, but he is sorely lacking in the romance department - by sobeautifullyobsessed

for @doctorstrangeaskblog​ - loosely based on RP between Stephen and Beauty (OFC). Imagine, if you will, how it was when he finally realized there could be more than friendship between them. Part One.​

Stephen stretched his arm atop the sofa back, and the woman beside him nestled against him, humming so quietly that he barely heard her.  Humming her satisfaction, and neither one of them needing to speak a word, as he adjusted ever so slightly to the feel of her warmth and her soft presence, pressed close to his side.  He closed his eyes, delighting as her dark hair brushed along his jawline, enjoying the newly familiar scent of her shampoo (strawberries and cream, entirely apropos to her sweet disposition), while wondering why he had let himself go so long without allowing anyone to get this close to his heart, in what felt to him now like…forever. How could he have so adamantly denied his need for simple, human affection for so long?

She rested her free hand on his chest, and without a thought, he moved his other hand, to rest atop hers. This is good, he thought, and not for the first time today; this is really, really good, as he cast his mind back to the many days and weeks before, when he tried his utmost to keep her at arm’s length.  He realized now that he hadn’t been trying to protect himself as much as trying to protect her; he knew his own history far too well, and the remorse of the pain he’d caused the last woman in his life still prickled his conscience when thoughts of her crossed his mind.  He’d have to confess it all to Beauty eventually, as a precautionary tale; he would not, could not, bear to bring the same heartache upon her as his thoughtlessness, selfishness, and arrogance, had brought him to inflict upon Christine.

“I love this part,” she murmured, redirecting his attention to the movie on the screen.  Practical Magic, a film that she had called one of her favorites.  When he suggested a movie night in the comfort (and privacy) of the Sanctum, she had been quick to suggest a magical pair—and Stephen had agreed readily, not realizing there would be more than magic as a theme.  Or rather, a very different magic than what he’d been anticipating.

It never hurt to be careful. The last time Demise caught wind of Dark’s sharp tongue, he’d spent ten years in isolation sealed in a crystal at the bottom of the temple.

Hello everyone! This line (from chapter two of A Dark Among the Lights by @luckylectio over on AO3) has been on my mind for the last year, so I finally sat down and drew it :D

in praise of the beauty & magic of Stephen's eyes

Six Sentence Sunday

from part two of  A Different Kind of Magic

for @doctorstrangeaskblog​

…From the first time she had looked into his astonishing eyes—eyes that easily shamed the bluest skies, even with their flecks of green and gold and just a bit of brown, as though his maker thought to leave some small imperfection, which instead only added to their splendor—she had felt drawn to him as to no man in her past.  She had been rendered speechless not only by their rare beauty, but by the unfathomable depth of wisdom mixed with sorrow, that she had found in them.  And though only a few seconds had passed in the span of that first look, time seemed to have slowed, for it felt long enough for her heart to surge with sudden affection for him, and her soul to vow to find some way to lighten whatever burden must be troubling him.  In the folklore of her mother’s people, that phenomenon was called ’the thunderbolt’; Beauty had always scoffed at the colloquialism, but in the midst of it, she understood it’s inescapable truth.

But then he had smiled, and that inexplicable sense of bittersweet had receded enough for the crystal blue of his extraordinary gaze to release her from her stasis.  Beauty had been holding her breath without even meaning to, and she had wondered if Stephen had noticed.  If he had, he’d been kind enough not to mention it…

merlin au where everyone finds out merlin is a sorcerer and theyre all covering for him from arthur

except arthur already knows??? hes known like. pretty much the whole time. hes been waiting for merlin to tell him himself.

but the longer it goes on the more arthur wonders if its something hes doing? he and merlin are close, arthur considers merlin his closest friend, but maybe arthur has done something to dissuade merlin from trusting him? maybe merlin cant forgive arthur for being uthers son? because arthur has noticed the increasing amount of people covering for his manservant, hes aware everybody ELSE knows

This was an enjoyable read with lots of romance dipped in some darkness, as any good Victorian setting has. There was magic and interesting worldbuilding in a place that is also very known to us.

We follow the perspectives of two characters, Isabela and Thomas, one a spell caster, the other a rune writer. From the start you know how the story is going to end, there’s absolutely no way that it was going to end any differently, but this is one of the stories that the journey is what counts.

The secondary characters are also not left behind, dare I say even stealing the show in some of the scenes. The pacing was a little slow here and there, but it was a cozy read.

I do think character design diversity is important but pls let's not act like the boys in dandadan are diverse when they're all skinny white-skinned generically attractive boys with ONE exception

The point of the post wasn't even so much diversity as it was just character distinguishability. Whether you think Okarun's design is "attractive" or not he still has notably different features and a different build from Jiji, meanwhile Momo and Aira are identical aside from their hair and eyebrows.

And then there's obviously the aliens.

Where the male ones look weird in their base forms and have even weirder transformations, but the one female alien just happens to be a girl with antenna 100% of the time.

This weird need for female characters to be one specific kind of attractive all the time just gets in the way of decent character design.

If Disney really wants to do something with Doctor Who they should make a Disney Channel style sitcom about Rose’s daughter Mia (from the books) and bring back Billie Piper and David Tennant to be her whacky sci fi sitcom parents
