#I love this world so much

[hmbrg-livedhere]

The fact that Bells Hells are so,,, scattered, is what I think makes them such a compelling party to me. Cause you have Ashton and Fearne who represent the Titans as well as the very earth and fire that molded the planet, Imogen who represents the moon and the storms, Chetney is the wild and the creative, Orym is the nature and the bonds, Dorian is the sky, winds, and music of the air, Laudna is the darkness that can bloom and the joys of life on Exandria, FCG was the automatons and Aeor history. (Braius remains to be seen, but I think of him as the inherit redemption that Exandria had gone through after the Calamity).

I think all of them represent a facet of the planet as a whole and the fact that they are going to ruidus to take care of Predathos and Ludinus is the best option. Because, to me, this isn’t a Gods vs God Killer fight, this is Exandria vs its very Destruction.

They don’t know what’ll happen when Predathos is released. They don’t know if it’ll stop at the gods. Worst case scenario, Exandria is DESTROYED. COMPLETELY. That is still a possibility that they must face.

So to have this final fight be fought by this party made up of all the things of Exandria is so special and a beautiful way to pay homage to the world that critters have witnessed this group travel for almost ten years.

the world is very big and terrible and so many things are dying. but i managed to give a wild field mouse a cracker yesterday. the long-grass field across the street is being cut and paved to build a warehouse and this winter will be the last one for so many mice. somewhere else the children of my species die on camera. i keep reading about it.

i keep looking at these pictures of a mouse.

Spoilers ahead, y'all!

Whilst I did make a post about timelines and possible magic and extension of life, somehow, the simple explanation escaped me completely. Especially as someone who lives in Norway, where Winter is half of the year.

When were Lila and Jaysohn born, if they knew their dad half their life? Early Winter. Geoffrey probably died sometime right before Spring, where the snow is still thick and the air still freezing. Let's say, if the plot of the story takes place in September-October, Geoffrey died in March-April, with the kids born around December-January. It would, actually, explain everything. We know, from Viola, that these stoats don't follow normal stoat mating patterns; Viola is having her kids in Autumn. Therefore, who's to say Tula couldn't have Lila and Jaysohn in Winter? They're sapient creatures, who can think and plan. We also get the small glimpse that Tula knows that they may have some control over when they get pregnant, but not always. Who's to say it didn't happen to her, too? What if, that Winter was where Tula gained so much, and nearly lost everything in one moment.

Although, I still believe Ava is overestimating her own age just so she can get away with more things.

Looks like Alexandria is almost home, but I in fact will not be paying attention. I’m out with a friend and refuse to let the croakerverse rule my life.

i am so unbelievably blessed to feel my emotions in an overwhelmingly strong way because it means that even when i hit the rare occasion where the bad things devastate me, i still get to experience the majority of the time where every little thing fills me with joy!

i get to feel incredibly warm in my chest when a baby i dont know reaches for me or when a random dog sniffs my hand and decides they like me! i get to be joyful when i swear out half my body heat in the hot summer and when its so cold i cant feel my nose but i can see my breath in the cold winter because its proof that im alive! even when i am devastated by the bad, i can realize the beauty in it because everything in the history of the universe led to this moment so it cannot be a mistake! it occurred to teach me a lesson that will inevitably guide me along my path to be the best possible version of myself! i feel tender love and empathy when i see photos of my cringy middle school self rather than embarrassment or hatred because shes so precious and she has no idea how incredibly bright and wonderful her future is, but i do! i get to bawl my eyes out in a couple hours because my puppy is coming home from her overnight stay after surgery and i can already picture how excited shell be to see us and i miss her so much and shes gonna be so damn cute with the super tiny cone around her neck! i get to prepare myself for a new year where absolutely everything is going to change and even though im absolutely crushed that i will have to leave so much behind, im even more excited that i get to meet new people and experience new things and make new mistakes and learn from them! I get to love everything and everyone with every molecule in my body! i get to see all the good in the world! i get to see the good in myself! even with the hurt they bring sometimes, i wouldnt trade my intense emotions for anything! yay!!!

Tell me more about this mysterious OC you have traumatized with one detail of worldbuilding

ok so. up front i need to say that i had the worldbuilding mostly worked out before i got into jrwi. i did not steal any of these ideas, i just happened to have them. by myself.

the oc that i'm talking about is part of a personal project that i'm calling 'code name: genesis' for now. it's about a crime group of a couple of teens, young adults and david, the token middle aged white man, who fight against oppression.

there's a whole bunch of worldbuilding, but the most important stuff is that superpowers exist (called aberrations), people with aberrations are heavily discriminated against, and aberrations can be removed through something called aberration reversal procedure, or arp for short. it's all pretty rough, think 'curing autism' kinda stuff. also arps are not exactly risk-free, since it's a procedure on the brain, so it can and does lead to brain damage.

the oc in question is kid, the guy-in-the-chair archetype. she's the youngest of the bunch (16) and that's also where the name 'kid' comes from. ever since i came up with these ocs, kid has never had an aberration and instead of learning how to fight or stealth or whatever helped out with planning missions and providing protection against tracking from the government etc.

it's technically two details that i added. first i changed their backstory a little, they now went through arp and suffer constant headaches as a consequence. she keeps this a secret from everyone in the group (except for david) since it's not something they have to know and kid is on the more secretive side anyways. it provides a bit more depth and a bit more of a motivation to work with this group, but overall it doesn't really change anything.

but then i added a certain detail to the worldbuilding that would take advantage of this new detail of their background to fuck her right up. here's the excerpt from my document:

"ARPs leave a vacuum in the space that the aberration used to inhabit, which can lead to more wild and uncontrollable powers taking its place. Some of the people who got ARPs turn into nothing more than vehicles for that power to be expelled into the world. There's no learning how to deal with it, only hoping. This phenomenon only appears years after the procedure, and since ARP technology is fairly new, this correlation has not yet been discovered."

so now there's almost definitely gonna be an arc where the news about arps and their consequences get released to the public and kid is gonna have to face that they might have to go through that. so umm... yeah. i fucked her up a little i think......

I freaking love Our Quiet World Au so much (Austin is deaf and autistic and eventually also has a deaf and autistic son and hearing daughter with us!)

Thank you so much @austinbutlersbaby

I’m on book three of Shadow and Bone and my main feelings are:

WOMEN AM I RIGHT 😍😍😍

Nikolai is THE BEST and I love him so much. Just perfection. Competence and banter and so much compassion and heart and kindness. Also the sense of style.

If anyone hurts my precious darling Genya who has done nothing wrong in her life it is On Sight. (I AM LOOKING AT YOU DARKLES)

It is actually very fun to read these having read the Crows and King of Scars/Rule of Wolves first.

Genuinely the Genya-Zoya-Alina bonding and building this loving relationship is so beautiful from where they start. (THE DRESSES SCENE).

It’s about the found family, the kindness and the way that these extraordinary people also tease each other (gently), drink tea and dork out and lend each other clothes it’s THE BEST.
