I hope the people who tore down the hostages posters are forgotten, I hope their names are erased. I hope they live small lives. I hope they never reach their potential.

Thinking of yandere linked universe but the plot twist in all of this is that the real true yandere was always the first link, maybe he had a darling when he was imprisoned, maybe he did fall for hylia, only the goddess know and had see how absolutely terrified link could be so she take him as his chosen one, because she see him almost a monstrous as demise himself so what better than fight fire with fire? Any yandere link come from that part of the heroes spirit that stay still even reborn, and also why Hylia always bless them when they want to protect the darling, bless them taking darling scapes away, because hylia is terrified of his chosen one and prefer him doing his work willingly and what better motivation than a defenceless human darling?.

Hylia don't need to be a scheming bitch, all she have to do is make sure the human is safe and do one or other miracle in from of the links to prove their darling is a 'bless from the goddess'.

Secret Lives, Chapter 9 by EliotQueliot / @eliotqueliot

fiction || the magicians (lev grossman, syfy) || m/m || quentin coldwater/eliot waugh || mature || creator choses not to use warnings || 9,870 || work in progress

summary: Secret Lives started as a Duck Prints Press May Trope Mayhem piece...an AU in which Eliot and Quentin are supervillains/superheroes (you decide...and at some point, they're going to have to). Eliot works primarily with ghosts in this fic, and I wanted to post some Queliot to enjoy for the Halloween season, so a haunting seemed quite appropriate…

Mosaic Haiku Ch. 14 poems, Ch. 4 paintings, Ch. 1-3 drawings by EliotQueliot / @eliotqueliot

poems, watercolor paintings, and drawings || the magicians (lev grossman, syfy) || m/m || quentin coldwater/eliot waugh || general audiences || no major warnings apply || ongoing series

summary: Mosaic Haiku is a project very dear to my heart, pairing haiku with watercolors and drawings celebrating the lifetime of love that proved the key to saving all magic, shared by Eliot and Quentin at the Mosaic in The Magicians 3x05, A Life in the Day. I've added an all-new Ch. 14 (photos with the haiku on Tumblr; art to be added to the haiku on AO3 later); two new watercolor paintings for Ch. 4; and I found/reinstated some version of the drawings for Ch. 1-3 (I hadn't yet started scanning the drawings separately for those, so quality varies). Going forward, the drawings will remain visible instead of simply being replaced by the watercolor versions. So far, the art is fully complete for Ch. 1-3 and in-progress for Ch. 4 & 6. This month I'm especially pleased with the two paintings of Quentin and Eliot in their golden years (see one of the Tumblr links and the Instagram link).

gnefwjgknrewjn i was playing a minecraft minigame and joined a lobby with two people that had wukong and macaque skins. and they were talking to each other like they were wukong and macaque. the three of us were talking during the game. macaque died first, wukong said get rekt, and mac said "fuck it we're getting a divorce. [my user] we r eloping, come on." dsgnjerwnhjewrht?? AM I MARRIED TO MACAQUE NOW???

what r the fucking odds of my monkey brain ass finding them in minecraft r u kidding me

EDIT: I FORGOT THE BEST FUCKING PART. we played another round and i laughing so i couldnt see what i was doing thru the tears. i typed as much and wukong said "look, u made her cry." without missing a beat, mac goes "at least i didnt kill her" FNEFKJGNERJIHGE i fucking cant

i currently have an 8-paragraph-long draft of me talking about toji fushiguro and why he was too broken to do what maki did bc he directed his trauma inwards and about the zen'in clan and how every single person in that household was guilty and it never really mattered if they were perceived as strong or weak bc everyone had their purpose and it all boiled down to this terrible family remaining strong over the centuries and about how maki put an end to that in one of the few actually fulfilling revenge arcs that have hit home for me without feeling unrealistic and ultimately pointless.

there was however no purpose or direction to those 8 paragraphs besides me following different trains of thought and going insane so a draft they shall remain god bless :)

[sophsun1]

to whoever sent me this, you are the sweetest, kindest person and you honestly shouldn't have. this place can be hell on earth most of the time but there are also lovely gems like yourself 💛😭

[newberinnings]

did you guys know that my ex partner hit me up for the first time when I made a birthday cake for Miku and we bonded over our love for her? and then a bunch of shit happened but I was temporarily blessed before I was eternally cursed and I just wanna say that Hatsune Miku orchestrated it because her birthday radiates SMTH like an oil spill in the universe but for queer people and I meant to say Hatsune Miku loves toxic doomed yaoi so much that she put it into my life. Happy Birthday to the queen.
