like. okay. all indications are that despite this world having some types of magic that are real, the kinds of magic appear to be pretty specific (spirit channeling, viewing psyche-locks with a charged magatama, apollo & trucy's perception, etc), and time travel in particular only exists as a figurative way of handling physical and emotional trauma, and otherwise it's probably just a very complicated scheme to get someone convicted of murder. the games have been pretty clear about all that. but god what i wouldn't do for a story where post-AA4 absolutely-drowning-in-guilt-and-self-hatred klavier accidentally gets himself peggy sue'd to the start of the gramarye trial
#aa tag#AA4#character: klavier gavin#I Just Think It Would Be compelling as hell#what can i say i love a good peggy sue#ideally a really complicated plotty one where the protagonist's actions have Consequences#and they have to deal with things that didn't happen in the first timeline#not that i have Extensive Thoughts about how a klavier aa4 peggy sue would go or anything#[kicks roughly 1k words of Thoughts under the bed] you saw nothing#aa posts

do you ever read scifi or fantasy in french? i am trying to read more sff that was originally published not in english but it's not easy to find 💀
I do! It’s not my favourite genre but one of my friends loves it so I read a bunch of SFF books every year ahead of her birthday to try and find a gift for her. I’m glad I do this because it’s allowed me to discover N.K. Jemisin’s Broken Earth trilogy which was amazing, and I don’t know if I would have picked it up otherwise!
Here are some French-language authors I’ve read or plan to read (unfortunately English translations are few and far between :( I bolded the names for which I found English translations—if you read in another language you can check out the non-bolded authors, there are often translations available in other languages long before English ones)
When it comes to classics you've got Pierre Boulle (Planet of the Apes of course; also Garden on the Moon, which is (deservedly imo) less known), Jacques Spitz (La Guerre des mouches—it was translated but not into English), René Barjavel (The Ice People, Ravage, Future Times Three—I read them a long time ago but I remember them as very sexist even by French classic standards), Bernard Lenteric (La nuit des enfants rois), Alain Damasio (La Horde du Contrevent—maybe too recent to be a classic but it’s everywhere. I was surprised to find no English translation!), Bernard Werber (I feel like he rehashes the same 3 ideas again and again but some of his earlier stuff was fun), Alexandre Arnoux (Le règne du bonheur), Jules Verne of course, Stefan Wul (Oms en série which was adapted into the film La Planète sauvage—Fantastic Planet in English. I like the film better!) And some I haven’t read: Georges-Jean Arnaud, Serge Brussolo (I liked his Peggy Sue series when I was in middle school but it spooked me so much I haven’t dared to pick up any of his SFF for adults, like Les semeurs d’abîmes), Élisabeth Vonarburg.
Newer authors: Estelle Faye (L’arpenteuse de rêves, Un éclat de givre—I tend to like her worldbuilding more than her plots); Sandrine Collette (The Forests—if you count speculative fiction as SFF) (I didn’t like it at all personally but others might), Jean-Philippe Jaworski (I really liked Janua Vera; didn't like Gagner la guerre but it was mainly because I have a low tolerance for rape scenes in fantasy books) (he’s about to be translated into English according to his editor), Stéphane Beauverger (Le déchronologue)
More authors I haven't yet read: Pierre Pevel (The Cardinal's Blades—I've been told it's "17th century Paris with dragons"), Romain Lucazeau (Latium), Laurent Genefort (Lum’en), Christian Charrière (La forêt d’Iscambe), Roland Wagner (La saison de la sorcière), Aurélie Wellenstein (Mers Mortes—I love the synopsis for this one), Magali Villeneuve (La dernière Terre, trilogy)
And non-French, non-anglo SFF authors: Maryam Petrosyan (my review of the Gray House last year was that I understood maybe 1/3 of it but I liked it anyway!), Hao Jingfang (haven’t read her yet), Arkady & Boris Strugatsky (idem), Jaroslav Melnik (I’ve read Espace lointain (originally Далекий простір) but didn’t like it much), Andreas Eschbach (The Carpet Makers), Walter Moers (I read The City of Dreaming Books back when I was still learning German and found it very charming), Liu Cixin (I loved The Three-Body Problem but The Dark Forest was so sexist it made me not want to pick up the third volume), Lola Robles (El informe Monteverde, translated as Memoirs of an Interstellar Linguist), Elaine Vilar Madruga (Fragmentos de la Tierra Rota), Tatiana Tolstaya (The Slynx), Karin Tidbeck (Amatka), Emmi Itäranta (Memory of Water, The Moonday Letters), Angélica Gorodischer (I’ve read Kalpa Imperial and found it only so-so but it always takes me a while to warm up to characters or a setting so I struggle with short story collections. I’ll still give Trafalgar a try) Also my favourite fantasy book as a kid was Michael Ende’s Neverending Story, I was obsessed with it. I re-read it in the original German a few years ago and it was still great.
#ask#book recs#i feel like sff has long had a poor reputation in france. like it's seen as 'not real literature'#not necessarily by readers but by literary awards and mainstream outlets that promote books#the genre doesn't get a lot of attention from those so it's hard for authors to become well-known#it's often seen as a genre for kids and teenagers—i know i had an easier time finding sff books by french authors when i was younger#scifi for primary school kids like christian lamblin's le survivant or philippe ebly's space operas in bibliothèque verte#or sff for middle school kids: the peggy sue series; linus hoppe by a-l bondoux; more recently the nuées series by nathalie bernard#but yeah in the adult sff aisle of nonspecialised bookshops it's mostly anglo authors + always the same handful of french ones

ik putting some giants like artemis fowl or geronimo stilton is lowkey a bad idea but hey. i had to put em in

My gf is being Tormented by an animatic of Ascended!Astarion set to Burn from Hamilton, so have the idea i'm tormenting her even further with.
EDIT: forgot the read more lmao
Ascended!Astarion gets peggy sue'd after a romanced Tav dies to free themself from his clutches. Her last words to him were 'You're just like him now. The second coming of Cazador. He wakes on the ground right after the nautiloid blows, with all his memories intact, none of his Ascended powers. He's back to square one, but he's done this before, right? All he needs to do is woo Tav again, kill Cazador and the Absolute again, easy-peasy. He even has foreknowledge now, so he can help with pesky sidequests, secure him even further in their good books.
He has a Much Nicer meeting with Tav, no daggers involved. He's smooth and suave but... they're not buying it. For some reason, they're not falling for him. He recalls cute moments they had in his past and they aren't happening here, why arent they happening- why arent they ~~his~~
Because they fell for Astarion the Spawn, not whoever the hell this is. And his behavior gets him left behind more often than not, even when he has things to point out about current questlines.
And maybe one of those times he's left behind, Tav gets severely wounded, bc in the other timeline Astarion was there covering their back-
And maybe shadowheart is out of healing, and they don't have another healer-
So they get back to camp with a Tav who is very clearly struggling to hold on to life and Astarion is suddenly confronted with the fact that he might lose them *again*
So that night he fucks off. He returns the next morning with Karlach and two bags full of health pots. He raided every stash he remembered in the first timeline wnd grabbed em, and also Karlach bc he killes the fake paladins and looted their corpses and she was nearby.
On the way back, Karlach tries to strike up a conversation and mentions how this person must mean a lot to him if he's willing to hunt down health pots in the middle of the night and take down (fake) paladins just for their stuff. And he realizes she is correct, and he does not want to imagine life without Tav.
So he makes it back (ignoring the situation with Wyll, those two will live until he's done) and heads straight to Tav's tent. Almost drowns them in health pots, then sits down. Properly apologizes. Just like 'My behavior up til now has been... less than ideal. That changes now. I don't expect you to forgive me for my past actions, but I am sorry for how I've acted.'
Tav asks him why he's so fixated on them.
'Maybe... in another life, I failed you. Maybe I intend to make it up in this one.'
#bg3 spoilers#baldur's gate 3 spoilers#ascended astarion#astarion bg3#for reference a peggy sue is mental time travel#usually someone from late in a piece of media wakes up earlier in the story memories intact#i think its like the only way to redeem an ascended astarion#the power has to Go or he can't change#tav x astarion#astarion x tav#fic ideas

Uh.. so we've seen what wielding the Stones does to a Human, hell we saw what it did to an Alien. Twice. We saw what one (1) stone did to a person holding it in their bear hand in GOTG, and we know the only reason it didn't like immediately vaporize Quill is because he was half celestial. And Peggy just gets to... Whole ass hold all 6 of them in her hand and not face any repercussions??
EDITING THIS BECAUSE IM REWATCHING CAP 1 AND IM MAD AGAIN: Red Skull bare hands the Infinity Stone and gets vaporized (I mean-- he doesn't, but we didn't know that for like. 8 years), so like. It is fucking established that touching the Infinity Stones bare handed severely fucks you up all the way back in 2011 so like?????????
#Captain Carter is never beating the Mary Sue allegations huh#anti peggy carter#kind of?? tagging it to be safe#captain carter#peggy carter#im putting this forward as less an “anti-Peggy” talking point and more a “hey marvel wheres the continuity here” point
