#General Tarquin

[vampiiric]

i think if i ever had to live action cast order of the stick for ANY reason i'm casting Hugh Grant as Tarquin. hes just very good at the "handsome guy", "kindly father figure", and "magnificent bastard" that's required. also he looks the part

BABY IT’S ALL ABOUT ME

[affablyevilshowdown]

Small Bracket Round 1-29

Father went to Evil class but got distracted and became a theater kid. (Also, the trouble with twins)

General Tarquin (Order of the Stick): "That's the beauty of it all, my son. If I win, I get to be a king. If I lose, I get to be a legend."

L. D. Curtain (The Mysterious Benedict Society- specifically the TV Show): "Attempting to kidnap me is not trying to reach me"- His brother

he's not a protagonist but

"genre-savvy" no i want a genre-unsavvy protagonist. scratch that, i want a genre-deluded protagonist.

i want a protagonist who is convinced until the last possible moment that they're in a lighthearted romcom--despite the proliferation of slasher murders. give me a soccer dad who is just so determined to enjoy family vacation, despite the fact the kids summoned an eldritch deity from the lake. a preteen who is experiencing a coming-of-age saga and annoyed their parents aren't emotionally present (the parents are distracted by a literal zombie apocalypse). endless possibilities

wait a second

if Rhys(and) is approximately 40 years older than Tamlin.

And He sought Tamlin out for a friendship. Tamlin had 2 adult fae after him at the same time.

Not only that but how old was Tamlin when Rhys(and)’s mother and sister were attacked?

Summer Court Male Fashion

Today I was on Pinterest and was looking at pinboards for the summer court, and all the outfits in there were so generic European Medieval-centric or just fantasyesque, which is probably the fault of SJM bland Worldbuilding and fashion choices

So I decided to give The Summer Court, but specifically Tarquin, some West/South African inspired fashion

Casual Fits

Evening/ Court attire

Just some revealing fits maybe for the beach

Jewelry and accessoires

It's the first of June, y'all know what that means..

Welcome to the first chapter of my next generation ACOTAR fiction, A Witch A Warrior And A Reckoning, ACT 1- The Witch (link at bottom of the post)

Protagonists:

Dahlia Fairburn, General and Heir of Spring

Aisling Sapphirus, Healer of the Hewn City

Nyx Archeron, Son of the Witch

Relationships:

Dahlia Fairburn x Aisling Sapphirus

Nyx Archeron x Tamlin Fairburn

Azriel Shadowsinger x Eris Vanserra

Nuan x Lucien Vanserra

Original Azris Child(ren) x Tarquin

Summary

Life is peaceful for Dahlia Fairburn, running with her War Band, and commanding the Spring Court armies. Since the day she could wield a sword, she's been helping her father, along with her younger brother, to restore Spring to its former glory. Trying to ignore the festering magic in her body, that threatens to consume her.

One day, all that peace is threatened to be shaken, as a certain prince of Night asks for her to join the rebellion of the Hewn City and Illyria. From beneath the great mountains, an ancient song calls for her. She meets a woman with death in her eyes, and power in her veins, who makes Dahlia's blood boil while something clicks into place between them.

This new generation of Prythian was thought to be one of peace and prosperity. But the mask of the reigning High Lords begin to crumble, as secrets older than Prythian itself are uncovered, and darkness is unleashed.

An ACOTAR next generation fanfiction

I hope y'all have fun with this fic!

Was not expecting to be jumpscared by a casual mention of Order of the Stick while scrolling through a One Piece analysis blog, but I sure as hell ain't complaining

Since you were talking about Lord Byron and character tropes and seem well versed in them, do you think Blackbeard actually fits into the common tropes or has a parallel from another series? I can't think of a villain quite like him, from the way he was introduced, to how he's cowardly yet strong, making complex plans while admitting that luck is a major factor, and even benefiting from the type of luck usually reserved for the protagonist at times.

You don’t see a lot of villains like Blackbeard because you don’t see a lot of heroes like Luffy, and Blackbeard is Luffy pushed to his logical extreme. If we look at Luffy’s vendetta with the World Government being an example of Chaos vs Law, then Luffy and Blackbeard is Chaos vs Chaos. They’re foils of one another, Blackbeard being a dark mirror of Luffy in every way.

You see his type of scheming more often in stories about politics. They’re pretty different characters, but he reminds me a bit of General Tarquin from the Order of the Stick in that they both believe that they’re going to get their way because The Story says so (this is a little bit more literal in General Tarquin’s case, seeing as how OotS is a D&D satire comic, but the point stands). 

His strong belief in destiny — and the universe seemingly bending over backward to fuel his rise to the top — reminds me a lot of various mythologies across the world, where even gods and titans were bound by the whims of the Fates. The grey vs grey morality of One Piece also fits that a little better than the more traditional Good vs Evil stories we see in the modern age. 

In a way he reminds me of Loki from Norse mythology. Tricky, powerful, malicious...and if the series is headed to a world-shattering war — which by all indications it is — I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it was Blackbeard kicking off the One Piece equivalent of Ragnarok.

I like to think that Tarquin is to a Shadow Dragon Rook what Viago is to a Crow Rook

I love Rook's exasperated older brothers/dads

[acourtofwhatthefuck]

Saw this on Pinterest and now I can’t stop thinking about an early morning of being fucked by Tarquin against the balustrade while the sun rises over the water ahem 💅🏻

ACOTAR Characters favorite K-pop groups: (Part 3)

I'm bored and I can't sleep so I decided to combine two things that I love Kpop and Acotar. I chose the groups because of the vibe. I don't have much explanation.

Mor: Blackpink + Everglow (She loves Girl Crush concept)

Emerie: Stray Kids + ATEEZ (huge StayTiny)

Tarquin: Kard (He loves their debut summer vibe songs)

Helion: New Jeans + Girls Generation (hard to find a group)

Tamlin: Twice (He listens to them thinking about Feyre and crying)

This is the end, but I can make the same post with other books like TOG, Percy Jackson... or can make with other characters from Acotar.

Blackwood farm may be a kinda questionable entry in the vampire chronicles BUT that is only because it wasnt told in what its true medium shouldve been, an internet arg
