alien rivers, alien bridges —

native hands, steel swords

native sounds, golden crosses!”

my and @yashik-sleepy oc's. detective Valeria Streltsova(🇷🇺) and hitman Angelina Dyadyura(🇷🇺/🇺🇦). the actions of the future story will unfold in Russia in the 90s, in the fictional city of Sovgrad, which is located on the border of Russia and China.

Russian story name: «Совъград: Исповедь мяснички и легавой.»

English story name: «Sovgrad: Confessions of a hitman and a fuzz.»

kay you know what this fandom is dead and also was never alive except for five people and like, three millenials

so might as well post something

introducing ; my Simil agenda

feat : no proof at all, just vibes

Starting with Siam:

There is no way that woman isn't queer. The whole sabre badassery, the sitting sideways, the LIKING WOMEN ?! That's a sapphic officer.

On to Kamil :

Side-character means barely any facts/canon personality, wich means I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT. I don't even think she has a canon appearance except having grey eyes (?).

She is a canon badass tho, really good at what she does. And what do we do when we encounter a badass woman ? Ship her with another badass woman.

I don't remember my exact calculations based on canon/extrapolation, but I find they'd be of similar age around the time Ewilan spends at the Academy.

Dc x Dp Fantasy au

fantasy AU where Tim is, predictably, a prince of the kingdom of Gotham. except he continues to want nothing to do with the family bullshit and much like how in canon he made up a fake uncle, he attempts to worm out of being trapped (read- loved and cared for) by investigating a neighboring kingdom via infiltration. Bruce does not enjoy this. Bruce does not have a choice, because trying to stop Tim is like trying to keep a cat away from that one thing you really don't want said cat to touch; impossible.

bordering kingdom meanwhile is a place of magic and mystery and ghosts. this is why so little is known about it. its freaky. this is all due to the fact that its set, functionally, in the place where the border between the infinite realms and the physical world is thinnest. due to all the magic shit the people there have learned to live in very specific ways for their own safety and most newcomers either leave before learning much or, yk, die. this means what little information that gets out is vague and unreliable, and all the other kingdoms are really wary of the place. any attempts to reach out and establish connections have been met with silence, as if its cut off from the world. spies don't return. forcing their way in would risk strife and war. as it is, they mostly ignore the place, since it doesn't cause them much trouble- except that recently, odd glowing green creatures have been escaping into the other lands. somethings gotta be done.

Tim decides he's that something.

Meanwhile, Danny, teen boy that's freshly coronated as king, attempting to deal with stabilizing both Amity kingdom and the infinite lands, the magic keeping all the malicious shit where the people that can handle it weakening, among about a million other things when a pretty boy his age that knows how to handle political shit and somehow adjusts to the crazy magic society shows up: "please save me please please please-"

Hi Neil!

First of all, thank you so, so much for both the book and the tv show of Good Omens, they both quickly became my comfort fandom and I always turn to Aziraphale and Crowley when I'm sad. I really love them and am eagerly waiting for the third season.

I wanted to ask you a book related question, probably people have already ask you before but I never found an explanation: when you and Terry wrote that people thought about Aziraphale as “gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide”, did you meant it as actually "gay" or as "always happy"? Because the paragraph immediately after says that this wasn't true because angels are sexless unless they make an effort, so I always thought he was seen as a gay man (also explains Shadwell using slurs against him), but it's true that "monkey on nitrous oxide" seems to refer as someone who's just always happy...

What's the right interpretation?

Thank you very much again!

No we meant gay as in homosexual. The "as a treeful of monkeys on nitrous oxide" is using the simile in a humorous way, acknowledging the double meaning of the word gay.

If you listen to the Radio 4 show Bleak Expectations, written by Mark Evans, you will find this humorous trope used frequently.

This is my thirteenth reason

[npdclaraoswald]

I'm about 75 pages into Mort, which is the earliest Discworld book I've read, and I think I see what people mean when they say the earlier books are a bit rough around the edges. It's not bad, and I don't think I would even think to comment on it if I didn't already know people said that, but it doesn't quite feel like Discworld yet. If for no other reason than that in 75 pages, there's been 1 (one) footnote

DP x DC: obsession ramble

It’s not that I dislike obsessions, but I’d like to actually see them actually used more

The word obsession means: “an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person’s mind”

It has connotations of compulsivity and a loss of control

So if I’m told X character is obsessed with y, then I’m not actually shown the character being obsessed, it just feels… unsatisfying?

And a lot of the time we get told about it and then it’s never addressed again, or it gets treated more akin to a special interest

It’s Chekhov’s gun remaining unfired

Which is a shame because the works that do actually show the obsessive element of an obsession it feels like setup and payoff. It’s really cool and an interesting way to examine a character

And I get that takes extra work and isn’t always the story you want to tell, but it’s significantly less cool when it’s arbitrarily lumped in. It’s not a be all end all if it’s included and nothing is done with it, but it’s a bit like a nail not quite hammered into place: sticks out a bit and occasionally tears a small hole in your sweater(story)

Def not saying not to use it, but just food for thought on ways to use it I guess, or a way. Idk man I’ve definitely been overthinking this but people overthink every aspect of writing and tropes so that don’t make me special just sleep deprived

I haven't seen much fanwork discussing Tim Drake after the whe BruceQuest debacle dealing with the JL fallout.

Like, his reputation was fucked over similar to the way electrical wiring gets fried after a fork gets stuck in a socket. That's a shit ton of damage that is permanent or needs to be cleared up.

Here's some ways that Tim's reputation (being so lost in grief that he is lost to delusions and grasping at straws) might affect him even after Bruce came back and resumed regular correspondence with the JL:

Red Robin is trying to help the JL with missions, but he keeps receiving microagressions from some members questioning his plans or evidence.

Red Robin has to constantly prove himself to new members of the JL or heroes just out and about in the field.

Tim is minding his own business as he runs his shit in another country when someone who's heard the rumors of Tim "losing it" tries to stop him.

Tim, who already had a shaky belief in the JL cause he (a child) had to step up to prevent Batman from killing someone, loses all faith in adult heroes. He justified to himself that maybe the JL just didn't realize how bad it was. Maybe that's why they didn't step in to prevent criminals from becoming Batman's victims. In the end, Tim had trusted them to do what was right when they had the information to do so. The BruceQuest tore that belief to shreds and removed the JL from the respected pedestals he had placed them on. He can't trust them to always do what was right. He had to ensure that they did what was right or that he did it by himself.

Anyways, gossip cultures can absolutely destroy and harm someone. I think Tim would suffer the effects of that. Yes, there's plenty of technology for information to be passed around fast. However, you can't discuss a lot of classified information over tech. The tech they do give out for classified information would ban usage of the tech for gossip. So, how does every hero find out? When they run into another hero who tells them. This could take years for some heroes to find out what has happened.

Combine this with Tim never receiving a public correction for what occurred? People might not realize that him "having a mental breakdown" was actually no one believing in him. They may not understand that he proved he was correct or that the two were even correlated. All the info passed down might just be that Batman's third Robin "lost it."

So, Tim has to constantly fight back against allegations and has to reaffirm that he is mentally sound.

There can be Clark, Dick, and other main heroes apologizing or feeling bad for their actions, but the consequences should go beyond that.

You could tie in other heroes that have suffered from the hero rumor mill. Roy and Tim could have a few chats about it. Heck, Jason and Tim could chat about it.

intrigued by the simile in book 4 of the iliad of athena deflecting an arrow from menelaus "as a mother brushes a fly from her sleeping child"...she's not a mother in the traditional sense, nor is she maternal in nature, and yet to treat a hero like her child out on the battlefield...it's interesting to see the ways in which her masculine traits are combined with her feminine traits at times
