#Ashes of Ire

[estravens-tits]

Imagine your ex-spouse (who you are still hopelessly in love with even though they rejected you) gets in trouble with the law. You give them your life savings to help them out at least a little in their new hard life of crime.

A few months later you learn that they used all your money to finance an cross-country trip with their new alien lover. And to top it all off, every single person in the country knows about it.

[world-of-wales]

I wonder what's cooking between the UK and South africa though, since David lammy was there too.....

[incorrectfbaaquotes]

Nyktos: You know what to do if you get in trouble?

Ires and Malec: Call the cops. Then call mom. Then pray the cops get there first.

Nyktos:

Sera: Damn right, but you forgot 'don't call Dad'. He'll just slow me down.

[dinodogs]

woooooo!! its da girl. Felt like redrawing her ref and giving her armor a shiny new coat of paint. Scroll down for some notes/translations of my garbage handwriting

Ash's armor is custom made so isn't exactly like skywing armor, she has a few extra pieces like her wing and tail blades which are made of incredibly thin metal. Her wing blade is light enough it can be strapped to her wings thumb. The armor on her thighs are very loosely over her thighs so she can still move comfortably, they lift and move with the movement of her legs and are strapped on by a thin strap around her waist and one on her tail I forgor to draw

Her armor has a soft piece of fabric under it so its more comfortable and she doesn't irritate her scales with the metal rubbing up against it, and her cape and helmet are purely ceremonial and she only wears them when she's being shown off by her kingdom rather then actual combat. On rare occasions she'll wear the helmet but prefers not too since she feels like it ruins her vision.

Ash's competition stripes are very bright and a very big pain in the ass for her to apply and wash off so she hates em.

Literally I don't think living like this is worth it

[hawkefaery]

Characters meetings in Blood and Ash that I'm most exciting for:

Malec and Eloana plus Valyn

I want go see the world burn honestly. I said this already but I want Eloana and Malec to have this resentful attitude where they trow beef at everything the other says. And plus Valyn because I know my man will have eloana's back against everything. Besides, I can see Malec don’t liking Valyn not because he wants Eloana back or something but I believe Malec gives vibes of being that type of man that believes his dick changes a woman’s life forever so the fact that she remarried, moved on, had a life and named someone else king??? I think he would be like “this fucking idiot who he think he is, i am a god i am so much better than he him” bla bla bla and then Valyn, as I said he is always there for eloana plus he said he believed that Malec did not deserve her love so I don’t think Valyn likes Malec either, he probably recents him for what he did to his beloved wife (honestly same valyn)

I hope we get at least a snake peak of Sera and Isbeth

this is an obvios one, I just want to see isbeth literally suffering and sera having fun

Malik and his parents

this one is going to hurt me like a bitch. It already did when Valyn seemed about to cry when he saw Malik again and Malik couldn’t even look at his father. Malik recents his parents for hiding the truth from him so there is so much tension in here. I want the pain that come with this reunion but I hope that at the end everything is happy again

Millicent and Ires

I want ires to see his daughter again and not just poppy

Jadis and Nektas

an obvious one

Ires and Malec

There is a lot to unpack between this two. I highly doubt they will be just ok with one another after everything that happened around them. I think this could be a tensed moment for resentment, blame and idk I just feel that it can’t be all perfect and harmonic between these two after every thing that happened

Malec and his parents

If a remember correctly, Nyktos and Sera knew where Malec was entombed and they actually had guards guarding the entrance yet they did not take him of his entombment do I wonder if Malec knows that or if he will find out at some point, I think this will be tense too, and again I don’t think they can just pretend nothing happened

[cassianandfenrysaremyboyos]

Crying over Ires knowing who Poppy is and asking where Millicent is. These are probably the first words he's spoken in years and they're about his girls 😭

// hi Mr. He/They Transgender Gay™ i thj nk youre the shitposter and banger arist 🤨 /ir

[estravens-tits]

Fics where Genly and Estraven have sex on the ice are so funny to me because they are fucking in a tent paid for by Estraven’s ex.

[ashsostrange]

why is it a always grown mfs doing the weirdest shit?? 🤨🤨 i was going thru the spiderverse tag and saw miguel x miles fanart then the account gon say “18+” like y’all are actually ridiculous lol get a damn job

[capcavan]

You know fic is going to be good when it's not even finished yet and it's title alone already fills you with dread

[fragmentedink-archived]

actually I think writing made me more outspoken irl. so many of my ocs fight back and argue and are stubborn especially when they're right and for so long I had kept my mouth shut and internalized everything but the more I wrote the more I began to actually speak up about stuff and now I push back and I argue when I know I'm in the right and I'm going to defend myself instead of letting them keep kicking me

Spoilers for FBAA #5 (teaser) and ALITF

Also, trigger warning for mentions of SA and consent.

So this teaser for the next Blood and Ash book has been making it's rounds again...

And it got me thinking. Because I also recently reread The War of Two Queens and came across this passage:

This is, of course, Poppy reflecting on the dubious "consent" Ires would have given Isbeth in order to conceive Millicent and Poppy. Dubious because Isbeth had all kinds of power over Ires in that moment, starting with the fact that she was holding Jadis hostage too. The part that stuck out to me the most after reading this passage after A Light in the Flame is Poppy's use of 'the worst sort' to describe Isbeth.

I know JLA has a tendency to reuse the same words and phrases throughout the books, so this could entirely be a coincidence or mean absolutely nothing. But, just in case, just for shits and giggles...

In both A Shadow in the Ember and A Light in the Flame, this same language is used by Nyktos and later Sera to describe Veses, the Primal Goddess of Rites and Prosperity. Who was called 'the worst sort' for forcing herself on Nyktos by blackmailing him into giving up his blood. In the process of that, she liked to 'push limits' and, essentially, sexually assaulted him. Nyktos allowed this in order to protect Sera.

Later in the book, we see exactly how angry and violent this knowledge makes Sera, with Sera threatening as still mostly mortal to kill the Primal Goddess. To make her suffer. Promising herself that she will get revenge for him.

Now...can you imagine how Sera feels about Isbeth? Beyond the two genocides, wars, abuse, and the violent harm Isbeth has caused. Just based on this one situation where Isbeth clearly had power over Ires. And she forced herself on him, one of Sera's own babes, for her own personal gain. And Ires who might` have given in just to protect Jadis.

I don't know about you, but I have to imagine Mama Sera is very, very pissed off.
