Coming to an AO3 near you this fall, Eclipse: A Ladyhawke Fusion! When charming thief Phillipe "the Mouse" Gaston is saved by a strangely angelic man with a black snake, he'll find himself swept up in a fairy tale as he slowly realizes everyone really is exactly who they say they are.

I'm super excited to be writing this and working with the fabulous @mulasawala for the DITWS Silver Screen Bang.

Catch Mula's art on Cara, and keep an eye out on my AO3 for the week of September 28th!

Wait... I just read the news about the Darkling and... How come he could pass for a Shu?! Wtf?! OK. This information is just awesome, and it's outrageous that we've ever had fanart to represent this aspect of the character. But also... Why was it never named in the original trilogy? Are you going to tell me that no one would criticize this aspect of the Darkling's appearance when he is extremely feared and already talked to death about his back because of his nature as a summoner of darkness? Nobody said anything about him looking like the enemy too? The grishas, ​​okay. In the book, grishas are simply judged as grishas and not Fjerda or Shu. But for non-Grishas it's a different story. Also, it's a Leigh Bardugo thing to retrospectively change details about her characters. Here we have the Darkling which looks like a Shu. But in the King's of Scars duology Zoya suddenly becomes a character of color when it seems to me that she was white in the original trilogy. And then, Alina has no official age in the trilogy, but must surely have been around 18 or more in volume 1 (if we try to calculate), but who is however changed in the other volumes to say that no she was only 18 when she "died" although the author specifies that she was a minor in volume 1 to reinforce his stupid idea of ​​an Alina victim of the Darkling as much as possible.

Aleksander is easily explainable. He's mentioned to be "able to pass as Shu", which doesn't necessarily mean he'll look like a "typical" citizen. He's dark-haired, fluent in the language... since Ravka has a long, turbulent history with Shu-Han, there will be disputable areas and its inhabitants, who look accordingly. DitW comics solved it elegantly, by making Baghra tan, therefore Aleksander would be assumed to be a product of mixed marriage.

Zoya is a simple collecting of wokie points. Alina never forgets to mention POCs, so the girl, who's been bullying her (and fucked her not-bf) would certainly be more than just "stunningly beautiful". Zoya from the pre-KoS fanarts "approved" by the author was pale, Zoya from the official art for KoS is visibly tan, yet she's described as not-Suli looking?! She's Suli out of nowhere, while for other characters it would cover at least 40 % of their description [See: Paja, the Alkemi in S&S].

As for Alina's age, there have been posts counting it, saying it's okay, there have been others counting it is not corresponding... I might get to read them properly, I think I have at least two saved in drafts, but I don't really care enough rn. Alina in show had been aged-up, and while it didn't help her maturity, it certainly didn't save us from fandom police calling Aleksander a paedo groomer, so...

Hi! Anon who asked about your sexuality here! As someone who is personally Biromantic and Asexual I can totally relate to feeling like you don't fit in. Thank you so much for sharing! If you don't mind me asking another question, what got you into writing on Tumblr?

Hello again! I hope you have good people around you who accept your for who you are. You’ll always be included here 💕

I don’t get many asks in general, so please ask away! I’d probably tell you embarrassing stories or read dog breeds in a silly voice a la Paget Brewster if you asked

I’ve always loved story telling and finding the different ways people and objects tell stories. From a young age I had a story that started with a game with a friend and still today I hold onto that story. I once wrote it or started to but that has been lost to the bytes of time. I still day dream and think about it. I’m heavily influenced by music (fun fact: I played the oboe for 7 years) and my schooling involved a lot of digesting the media I was consuming and understanding how art affects people.

I went through a few major emotional events in the span of a few months (outside of like… the world). Leaving an online community I was heavily involved with to switching back to Tumblr was one. Having a major friendship breakup was the second. I was leaning heavily on my hyperfixations and imagination to pull me through. After finding tbbxreader tags I started to wonder what story I could tell (I absolutely involved my childhood OC as a stand in before it was Maxis in DitW). I heard the cover of DitW and I needed wanted to talk about it but the person who I wanted to share it most with was no longer there.

Her loss was your gain cause I made a side blog to post my ideas in the format I read them in. Bam. I didn’t think anyone would really… read my stuff. But I’m happy others enjoy it and respond, especially when people talk about the details and stuff. It also ended up being a good way to get out my feelings since I am bad at them (as seen in the notes of DitW).

God I’m so sorry for writing a novel for each answer. I even told myself to scale back lmao
