I am getting hit with what appears to be dozens of spoofed 'Failed Payment' emails from Woo Commerce. So if you have tried to order a Full of Briars poster from my website in the last 24-48 hours please drop me an email so I can try to find out if these orders are legit and the shop is broken.

[ID: reply by @coredesignixandnekonee: Toby: I’m not ready for a new child, I can’t replace Gilly Quentin: hi Toby, already prepping the guest room for a permanent residence: go away kid, you’ll only get hurt if you stick around me Quentin, pulling his lunch out of the fridge: hey so can I rely on you for emotional support since I can’t see my parents until I’m thirty? Toby, feeding him cookies and hugging him and worrying over his well being: I guess but I’m not responsible for you Raj: ok auntie.]

toby is like bruce wayne in that she can’t stop adopting children, except she’s the coffee version of vodka aunt and they’re all nieces and nephews. homegirl isn’t gonna do parenthood again just yet but try stopping her from babysitting your kids on the weekend and occasionally teaching them valuable life skills like making coffee and checking the backseat of your car for stowaway assassins

What's your favourite fictional character (any or all media)?

God, I just don't know, because it changes as I grow and change.

Bigwig, Tailchaser, Molly Grue, Quentin Sollys, Mildmay Foxe, Antonio Banderas, Ezio, Tek (Birth of the Firebringer), Murderbot, Jack Wolcott, Lucian (Underworld), Aaravos, Boromir, there's so many. Endlessly. So many I'm not remembering. Our books and DVDs are packed up, I can't go looking. But they spring to mind. There isn't really anything that unites them. Just what I needed or wanted or found very dear at the time.

NOMINATIONS ARE OPEN!

Yes, it's that time of the year again!

Please go HERE to nominate!

Collection and rules are HERE.

To avoid wasting your nomination slots, note that we're using the same tagset from last year, so MANY relationships and characters are already in the tagset. You don't have to nominate those again, so only include those that you can't see there.

Nomination Formatting

All nominations should be nominated under the "October Daye Series - Seanan McGuire" fandom.

Nominations do not need to auto-complete to be accepted; if Ao3 does not complete your ideal nomination, just type it in manually.

For romantic/sexual relationships, please nominate the characters you wish to nominate with a "/" between each character. For familial, platonic, or otherwise non-sexual requests, please use a "&." e.g., "Connor O’Dell & Tybalt" would not have any sexual or romantic undertones. "Connor O’Dell/Tybalt" would be considered sexual and/or romantic, even if the fanwork itself didn't include any sexual acts.

Nominations should be spelled correctly.

Nominations should ideally be in alphabetical order, by last name. If a character does not have a last name, use the first name instead.

If a character has multiple names or aliases, go by their "main" name.

If you want to nominate a single character instead of a relationship, please use the relationship field and put your nominations as “Solo: Character Name”. e.g. Solo: October “Toby” Daye

Nominating Characters from Other Canons (i.e. Crossovers)

We allow crossovers from other series so long as they are interacting with at least one canonical character. However, when nominating a character from another specific series, please put the name of the fandom the character is from in parenthesis after the name, for example: "Quentin Sollys & Rose Marshall (Ghost Roads)"

Nominating Original Characters

Original Characters are also allowed to be nominated, provided they follow the following guidelines:

The OC is listed in such a way as to give someone freedom in how to write them.

OCs should be generalized or archetypal. e.g., "my OC June Daye" is too individualized and customized, but "Male Cait Sidhe” is eligible

If the gender of an OC is considered important to your request, please include it. If you are fine with any gender option, gender does not need to be added, and the creator of the work can choose their choice of gender options for the character. e.g., "Cait Sidhe" or "Female Cait Sidhe"

note: includes spoilers

heads up that the characters i am most fixated on in the toby series are the luidaeg, elizabeth ryan, and captain pete, with significant focus on aldridge and diva ryan too. many toby characters and relationship dynamics show up on this blog, but this is a disproportionately undersea-centric (and selkie/roane-centric) space! 😄

Quentin bisexual dad of the year???

[sockich]

Something about the way When Sorrows Come (October Daye #15) starts with Quentin telling Toby she’s his mom, making Toby burst into tears, and ends with Toby acknowledging Simon as her father, making Simon burst into tears. Something about that.

[theunsinkablesappho]

May: I will help you defeat them, Toby. Tybalt: And I will protect you with my life! Simon: I won't let anything happen to you. Quentin: I will fight by your side. Sylvester: You can count me in, too! Everyone: Luidaeg: *sighs* Luidaeg: Fine. *stands up* Luidaeg: Well, now I'm standing. Happy? We're all standing now. A bunch of jackasses, standing in a circle.
