Happy Valentine's Day! (and this blog's first post anniversary!)

Breathing ceased in that moment, and movement halted in shock. Irisse. He'd called her Irisse. The wood in her hand dropped, forgotten as she forced a breath and turned, searching for where she'd seen the dark flash--

There! She stepped toward him, shock still written across her face. Alive. He was alive. Of course he was! She'd come to look for him. She'd come and now she'd found him, and yet she still could not believe it. Unless this was a dream? No! No, she'd been awake all day. If it was a dream, it was a cruel one. Though it would not be the first time she dreamt she'd found him--

"Kano." she repeated, emotion welling in her eyes and throat as she closed the distance quickly and stopped short just in front of him. Her hands lifted toward him, clenched and unclenched, unsure of what to do. Hug him? Weep? Kiss him? Give him his distance? The last one definitely for now.

"Tell me you are here. Here in truth and not just in my mind. So many said that you were gone, but I did not believe them. I came looking for you-- I--" Tears fell in relief down her cheeks like autumn rain. "I am not dreaming, am I?"

Often since he regained more of his sanity again Maglor avoided the coasts for most of the year, and yet they still called to him, especially those nearest where Himring and the Gap had once been. It was during one such visit he heard rumors of another haunting the shores as he had for a time. Slowly, cautiously he'd headed south from Mithlond, following Cirdan's advice on where to search, and eventually came across a small camp.

He'd nearly written it off as yet another person following his myth, the story of the wandering minstrel at the shore, when he noticed some small things. Little tricks he could almost hear his little brother teaching those younger than him.

Slowly he circled the little camp then with a sigh he settled on a rock where he could overlook it. He settled his sword across his lap then looked out at the sea while murmuring an old song about Ulmo and Manwe. As his old nickname was called he blinked and looked at her.

"Irisse?"

I feel like I should say since there's been a recent uptick in a lot of communities I'm in/see stuff from a lot of white people pretending to be Asian, but you are not welcome here if you are in anyway stealing from Asian cultures for clout or the aesthetics of it

This includes if you're white and you give your self inserts Asian names, I truly do not care if your f/o is from an anime, you should not be using an Asian name under any circumstances. I hate that whenever I see someone using an Asian name online, I feel like I have to start searching their account to see if they're actually Asian or just a white person who likes the aesthetic of it bcs far too many white people will use Asian names here just bcs it sounds cool, with no regard for the actual cultural meaning behind it. Meanwhile actual Asian people will be mocked for their names, or treated like their names are too hard to learn to pronounce, or discriminated against based on their names

Asian cultures are not a fun little costume for people to dress up with. They aren't just a nice aesthetic, they aren't just a thing you can borrow from bcs you think it sounds cool

WAH thank you sm for the help & support so far!!! ;_; I wasn't really expecting much help right away so I was surprised but thank you!! It helped a lot esp. w/ the loans I've had to pay ;;

I still have a lot of stuff to catch up on so I hope you guys can be patient w/ me 🙏I've opened patreon as a way to earn & also as motivation to finish my backlog. Tbh it's still overwhelming when I think about the backlog of work I have to do (it's a lot...) but hopefully I'll get things done eventually. For now I'm working on the preview for my patreon promo post so have this very messy & illegible wip for now:

My page is now live here if anyone would like to check it out :)

My dogs my beloved dogs!! The first line of beastial spirit vine soldiers from my LoK AU. Created by Baatar when during experimentation, he discovered the spirit energy after being condensed causes the vines to react strangely to machinery and processed material. Turning the inorganic to organic.

These soldiers are comprised of spirit vines that have mutated in reaction to the condensed activated spirit energy and adhered themselves to the suits. Similar to "mimics" in a way, they can conceal their mouths fully so they're indistinguishable from human soldiers, though very astute earthbenders may notice they neither breathe nor have a heartbeat.

So are the Big Bads of Junior Year going to be the Rat Grinders? AKA kids who leveled up 'the normal way' by doing a bunch of quests, grinding, taking on any enemy to get more powerful, but because of the 'luck' and 'opportunities' given to other kids (ie the Bad Kids) aren't being lauded or appreciated like they expected so they're taking it out on the Bad Kids, have taken advantage of it the summer they were gone, and are doing what they can to punish them for 'being rewarded despite failing at what's expected of them, despite actually saving the world'.

I wonder if all the members of Rat Grinders have classes that reflect those of the Bad Kids? We already know they have a rogue and a bard...

I thought about Dee a little too much last night

Something I’ve come to appreciate watching RTD1, Moffat, and Chibnall’s eras in such quick succession (with RTD2 airing as well) is how much each era really feels like it’s own show, but also the same show.

Doctor Who is just such a tonally, stylistically, aesthetically malleable show and it doesn’t really hit when you’re watching it spaced out over decades.

I really like the idea that for the first few months of them hanging out post-HoO, Will had no idea Nico had stayed at CHB before. He was under the impression that Nico was more or less new to camp, since he had been a rogue demigod, and that he had just been an ally of CHB up until that point who had been to the camp but had never been a camper. The entire time Will just assumed he was the senior camper between the two of them, not knowing Nico had actually joined camp almost a whole two years prior to him and was instead returning.

Nico eventually realizes Will’s misconception and tries to explain it, but Will thinks Nico is messing with him until Nico explains the crack in the dining pavilion (which no one at camp besides Percy knows the origins of, save for maybe Annabeth, Grover, and Chiron) was from him the night he ran away (and maybe also shows Will his camp beads to further prove he’s not making it up, depending on if you believe he has one from BoTL or not). Will then gets to have the fun little journey of recontextualizing everything he knows about Nico.

An older thought from a long-deleted platform, but I've correlated Scorpio from the Twelve Initiations of Love with Keith for a while.

'to teach that love is passion and learn that love is surrender.'

"to teach that love is passion" embodies Keith in that he's someone who exudes passion for the things and the people that he loves - in all contexts of the word 'love'. In aligning it with kallura, Keith has shown a passion for carrying out Allura's ultimate mission of spreading peace and healing the universe through the last 10,000 years, possibly even to his own harm:

And it's this passion for her mission, even in the face of their interpersonal conflict, that causes Allura to reconsider how she's been communicating with him.

This appears in s8 as well, in my opinion - Keith is shown to be the only person who is entirely supportive of her choices and her decision to pursue Honerva, and he remains steadfast behind her as she moves forward.

But "to learn that love is surrender" aligns with Keith regarding Allura too, because Keith learnt that the most honourable way to love someone is to surrender: he surrenders himself completely to the feeling of love he has for Allura, indicative of the way he speaks about her -

But also, in learning that love constitutes surrender, Keith also surrenders Allura herself - he allows himself to be okay with Allura loving someone else romantically, and is shown to be consistently supportive of her relationship with Lance, from its inception onwards -

- and, to his and our regrets, does not intervene at her sacrifice, surrendering her to follow the decision that she makes to leave.
