How to Curse Like an Ishgardian
I was coming up with ways to make my ishgardian characters swear and exclaim for my upcoming story and decided to share it =)
Some of these are my own, some are from the game itself and others are from others relevant media.
I read somewhere that when thinking of how to make curses and prayers think of what each culture values most and values the least. Whatever they value the most will be their prayer and the thing they least value will be their curses.
In Ishgard family name, religion and valor is valued the most. So, instantly, nameless people, bastard, orphans, heretics, rebels and cowardly people are looked down upon. This logic should help you make your own curses. You can also add some racist slurs against non-elezen and sometimes non-hyurian people. They also hate dragons, so pre-dragonsong war, a lot of dragon cursing would be common.
Small warning, some really foul language follows ahead. I will keep updating this list whenever I find new curses or come up with them.
1. Prayers, Exclamations and Blessings:
Halone, have mercy
Fury, save me
Halone, grant me strength
Halone's blessings be upon you
Halone/Fury, preserve me
Fury, guide me
Halone, shield me
Spear me, Halone!
Halone be praised!
By the Fury's fire!
By Her Lance!
By the Fury!
2. Insults:
Use these as an insult or add injury to another insult. For example, 'frostbitten whore,' or combine two insults like, 'nameless brume runt.'
frostbitten [insult]
'Greystone' in general can be used as an insult as bastards are really looked down upon. Haurchefant was very lucky to have a father like Edmont.
spoon ears; used against hyurs
Insults used against AuRi as superstitious Ishgardians believe them to be related to dragons:
wyrm fucker
scaled [insult]
dragonspawn
Mixed race couples are looked down upon in Ishgard so, their children face racism and bullying:
weakblood
mongrel
half-breed; all can be used to describe mixed blood.
knife ears; (stolen from Dragon Age) used against elezen
brume runt
street rat
highling; can be used to insult a highborn by a lowborn.
-your grandiosity; can be used to insult a highborn by a lowborn. You can be creative with these!
heretic
nameless [insult]; this is to imply that they do not belong to any house, not even a small one.
[ruling house name] leech; for example, a person sworn to house Durendaire to misuse their power, they can be called a 'Durendaire leech.')
[any house name] bootlicker; anyone who flatters and sucks up to nobles and those in power for their own benefit.
3. Exclamations and curses:
Shiva be damned!
voidspawn
Halone's tits!
Thordan's balls!
Fury strike you!
Holy Crozier!
wolves take you!
dragons take you!
Twelve curses upon you!
Fury's curses upon you!
Nophica be damned! ; Nophica and Halone didn't get along according to myth.
Godsdamnit!
Halone's cunt!
Please feel free to use them in your works! Happy writing! =D

For all of you who want to use this (or those who don't necessarily want it, but really really need it):
I made a Guide to Bucky as an Amputee (link will be in a reblog because Tumblr is not working with me today...)
I do not have a limb difference so it's all based on research I've done myself and there is no personal experience on my hand. But since so many writers seem to not know where to start when it comes to Bucky as an amputee I thought I might as well share what I've found over the years...
As I also state in the document itself, this is merely a beginner's guide, I implore you to do your own additional research too!
If anyone with more personal knowledge has any pointers you can either comment them directly in the document or send me a private message on the hellsite! I'm open to learning more!

ZEKE ! these are some of the body references i use when i write for beefy or built m! reader. unless i include something different. it’s heaven fr. i love writing beefy! m reader who can cook and care for their lover! people think they’re intimidating because of their stature but they’re really just a big ass cuddle bug who likes to be held by their bf. i don’t like going for the muscle type all the time. if they are it’s gonna be fat thrown in there somewhere.

this doesnt need a response or anything, just wanted to say how cool your guys reference section is !! when i was first getting into fanfic years ago that wouldve been SO helpful, and its so cool u guys made that for new fans :)) awesome stuff!! <3
I DO need to respond because I'm absolutely thrilled that the Reference Section is getting some use! Thank you so much for reaching out and bringing attention to one of the lesser known parts of the library.
If you're new to the blog (hi! welcome!) or have somehow just missed the Reference Section (that Card Catalog got you first), then you are in for a treat!
Have you ever wondered about how to tag your fic? Or where you can find other rec blogs? Maybe you want to link your AO3 to your tumblr, or your tumblr to your AO3! Maybe you just love reading fanfic, but feel nervous about leaving comments. Information on all this and more can be found in the Reference Section!
Basically, if I come across something that I think would be helpful to the fanfic community, I add a link to it in the Reference Section. Some of the tips are written by me, and some of them are written by the @wolfstarlibrarian (who has their own awesome Reference Section as well!) and some are written by other blogs that I just happened across that had really good information. If you haven't used it before, I hope that you'll at least check it out in the future and see if it's something that might be useful going forward!
Truly, I'm so excited that you found it and found it helpful. I always love hearing from Library Patrons and appreciate that you took the time to send this.
❤️ Lots of Love and Happy Referencing! ❤️
-- The Drarry Librarian

Spoilers for mid Act 1/ Waukeen's Rest under the cut, but this is about this image:
And why he's making this face.
So, that is a section from this larger screenshot:
Which takes place in Waukeen's Rest after you save Benryn from the fire. I'd never taken Astarion into this room where Benryn is crying over his wife, so I'd never seen this before. But just look at this face:
He looks genuinely empathetic... like there is no disdain on that face, only empathy...
This happened after the Teifling Party for me, and I'd like to think it was a relevant part of Astarion's eyes being opened to how he feels about you if you're romancing him.
Like, he kind of looks like he gets it. And that is both beautiful and heartbreaking.

I once made the mistake of applying video game rating systems to fanfic so when I saw a fic rated E I assumed it meant E for everyone... I was surprised to say the least
Oh nooooo, Anon!! This is a very important thing to note!!
For anyone new to AO3 (a lot of tumblr fanfic authors will use a similar rating system!)
UR- Unrated: Author chose not to rate the fic, filters on AO3 will treat these fics as adult content usually. Not all UR fics are explicit, but err on the side of caution
G - General Audiences: No adult themes or violence, etc. Equivalent to G rated movies/TV
T - Teen: Some brief themes that may not be appropriate for younger readers. Usually fade-to-black type sex scenes if there are any
M - Mature: Could include violence, sex, drugs, etc. Think of this as like an 'R' rated movie (18+)
E - Explicit: graphic depictions of sex, violence, drugs, etc.
Stay safe babes! You can use AO3's filter system to chose ratings (amongst many other things) when you search for fics!

re: act of god
Was scrolling through Twitter and found a picture that perfectly illustrates a scene in act of god ;)
“Charles turned away from the large motorhome window when Sebastian found him, and beamed, sunlight haloing soft brown hair, eyes shadowed completely.”

Recipe Advent Calendar - Day 10
Happy Holidays!
To celebrate the season, I am doing 12-days of seasonal recipes from the 14th to the 25th December. These are recipes published in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle newspaper during the period that Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes lived in Brooklyn in the early 20th century.
Moravian Christmas Cookies
1/2 cup butter or other shortening, melted 1 cup molasses, heated 1/2 cup brown sugar 3/4 teaspoon ginger 3/4 teaspoon cloves 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon allspice Dash of salt 3/4 teaspoon soda 3 3/4 cups sifted special cake flour Combine butter and molasses, add sugar, spices, salt and soda. Add flour. Let stand in cold place a week. Place a small amount of dough on a slightly floured board and roll paper-thin. Cut with fancy cookie cutters. Place on greased baking sheet and bake in moderate oven 365 degrees Fahrenheit six minutes. These cookies keep indefinitely in closed tins. Makes 200 cookies.
The recipe appeared in the Friday 19 December 1930 edition of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
Advent Calendar Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7 | Day 8 | Day 9 | Day 10 | Day 11 | Day 12

Ling Rui's home and family
I took some screenshots to analyze the layout of the flat of Ling Rui's family since I need it for my new fic. But let's start with his family first. Ling Rui lives with
Ling Zhu*, his mother: (*she's called Zhu-ayi in ep 20, but her last name wasn't mentioned)
Ling Yunzhi, the older sister of his late father:
and Ling Yazhi, the younger sister of his late father:
They all get along quite well.
Here's the outside of the house and the entrance door to the flat:
The entrance door leads to the big living room with the adjacent kitchen. Take a look at all these different chairs at the dining table:
Here are the doors leading to the other rooms:
Unfortunately, we don't get many detailed glimpses on the kitchen:
Not much to see about the bathroom either, but they have normal and purple lights in there for some reason:
Ling Rui's room has a bed, a desk, and shelves filled with books:
Ling Zhu and Ling Yunzhi seem to share a room since there are two beds in it:
I couldn't find any scene that shows Ling Yazhi's room. Might edit later if I find some.

Been super into time travel fics lately. My fav part (aside from Buffy meeting William) is the essential fashion montage. You know, where Buffy goes shopping or has somebody buy her a bunch of new clothes suitable for a pretty lady of the era?
Since I've already done a jewelry spam, here's some corset references for the lovely writers out there 🙂
Like all fashion trends, corsetry changed through the years. Some of what we refer to as corsets were actually known as stays. Those are stiffer and have more boning than corsets.
Stays kind of developed into corsets. So Darla and the women of Liam's time would have worn stays, but Drusilla and the women of William Pratt's day would have worn corsets.
Here are two examples of stays from the late 1700s. The first is from 1740-1760, the second 1770-1780.
Some stays from the 1600s. I'm not entirely sure which decade in particular each are from, but these are along the lines of what Darla would have been wearing.
There's not a whole lot of pieces that have survived this long, but here's two from around the time Darla would have been alive.
You can probably see what I meant when I said stays had more boning than corsets. It's very tight with few gaps between, creating a firmer conical shape than most corsets.
The first is a real corset from the late 1800s, the second a reproduction. As I mentioned earlier, fashion varied significantly from decade to decade throughout the 1800s. If you're having a character picking out an entirely new wardrobe, it's best to find references by searching "18xx's fashion" as opposed to just "Victorian fashion" or "1800's fashion".
Otherwise, you might end up describing a totally anachronistic silhouette. Like putting clothes from a 70's bargain bin on a character from 2004 and calling it "the newest look". (Unless ofc this is entirely unimportant to you because you're not a massive dork).
Anyway, another Very Important Thing about corsets. They were not uncomfortable. They did not restrict breathing or movement. Tightlacing was not mandatory. Farm workers, maids, and aristocrats alike wore corsets or stays every day for centuries and got through their lives just fine.
A properly fit corset provides support for both the breast and back. It's obviously more constricting than being naked, but so are bras and clothing in general. Some women who've tried reproduction corsets that were tailored to their bodies even say they find it more comfortable than a bra.
Contrary to the modern idea that corsets are a symbol of woman's oppression, the idea that corsets were painful or harmful actually comes largely from sexist men who looked down on women's fashion trends.
Basically, it'd be really cool to see a scene where Buffy puts on a corset that was made for her and is surprised by it not literally being the worst thing ever.
OH! And while we're on the topic of Victorian undergarments, one thing I never see in fics is an accurate depiction of their underwear. Yes, they were silly frilly shorts. They also had a slit down the middle to allow women to pee without taking their skirts off. Their coochies were easily accessible if you got through all the skirts and it's a crime that more people don't know about this.

Diverse body references for literary fiction:
As a girly who loves to read and write smutty shit, I really enjoy when writers create moodboards to go with their stories however, I have found that most times it’s pictures of a very specific type of woman (thin, white, able-bodied etc).
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that but as someone living in a plus size body, it’s disheartening when there’s only a certain portrayal of what an attractive and desirable woman looks like.
So I’m here to remind you that you’re still attractive and worthy of attention and intimacy (if those are things you desire) no matter what your body looks like. You are a goddess and can make any person fall down on their knees for you ;)))
Love u, u sexy thanggg xxxx

Fanfiction reference Marauders fandom
Were they all are in a band (rock mostly) but insted of just one singer, they all switch and each of them masters a certain style
Remus definitly sing some Hard rock, Metal or Punk (We all know everyone would swoon over his growls)
Sirius is more in a Classic rock, like old style but also an evergreen
James is more on the side of Pop rock and alternative, with some sprinkles of indie
And Peter OBV is the boy. The boy of ballads and Soft rock that make everyone cry without knowing why ( I will cry for all of them but shhh )
I can also give examples because some groups are literally perfect in my head full of holes
Moony - Systen of a Down because Yes sir pls, scream how much you want. Rise Against, Disturbed (The hard but Gold ) Skillet( Monster Is literally Remus screaming his Life, can't change my mind)
Padfoot - The Struts( You are my primadonna pad.) Three days grace(like EVERY FUCKING SONG), My Chemical Romance (Self-explanatory i say)
Prongs -Panic at the disco, Greta Van Fleet but also Bring me the Horizon (because James would definitely be capable of those screams at the right moments, we all know it and imagine it) Green day
Wormtail - Elton John (my man it will never disappoint me ), Beatles, Phil Collins and also Aerosmith
Here also the playlist for all the song that i think they will sing
