Oh man all I keep hearing about is Astarion and what a kinky fucker he is. It’s even in the Halsin tag. I don’t get it. Not everyone is sleeping on Halsin but a lot of people are.

I must have gotten lucky with my circle then lol I mean for awhile, I couldn’t take a step without tripping over an Astarion post 🤣 but now, not necessarily on tumblr where there’s a healthy mix of most of the companions, but discord? So much Halsin. And not all of it necessarily sexual, a lot of it has been sweet fan art of him and ducks.

I have yet to make it far enough to meet him in-game (I got sucked into Skyrim again just before BG3 release) but I’m very much looking forward to it

HOUSE GREYJOY

The Greyjoys of Pyke claim descent from the Grey King of the Age of Heroes. Legend says the Grey King ruled not only the western isles but the sea itself, and took a mermaid to wife.

For thousands of years, raiders from the Iron Islands—called “ironmen” by those they plundered—were the terrors of the seas, sailing as far as the Port of Ibben and the Summer Isles. They prided themselves on their fierceness in battle and their sacred freedoms.

Each island had its own “salt king” and “rock king.” The High King of the Isles was chosen from among their number, until King Urron made the throne hereditary by murdering the other kings when they assembled for a choosing.

Urron’s own line was extinguished a thousand years later when the Andals swept over the islands. The Greyjoys, like the other island lords, intermarried with the conquerors.

The Iron Kings extended their rule far beyond the isles themselves, carving kingdoms out of the mainland with fire and sword. King Qhored could truthfully boast that his writ ran “wherever men can smell salt water or hear the crash of waves.” In later centuries, Qhored’s descendants lost the Arbor, Oldtown, Bear Island, and much of the western shore.

Still, come the Wars of Conquest, King Harren the Black ruled all the lands between the mountains, from the Neck to the Blackwater Rush.

When Harren and his sons perished in the fall of Harrenhal, Aegon Targaryen granted the riverlands to House Tully, and allowed the surviving lords of the Iron Islands to revive their ancient custom and choose who should have the primacy among them. They chose Lord Vickon Greyjoy of Pyke.

The Greyjoy sigil is a golden kraken upon a black field.

Their words are We Do Not Sow.

15 Questions for 15 Friends

Tagged by @teamdilf and @finchmarie Thank you! ❤️

ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?: My dad's ex-girlfriend. 🙃 Not weird at all, right?? I was going to be named something else entirely (which I would have actually preferred as it easily shortened to a masculine name) but my mother mentioned it to her sister-in-law, who gave birth two months before my mom did, and she used the name for my cousin! My mom was unimpressed. So I got a backup name. (My dad swears it's just cause he liked the name, they weren't even that serious.)

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?: Hmm... A couple weeks ago I think? While reading fanfic. 😅

DO YOU HAVE KIDS?: Nope. Tried a while back. Turns out my reproductive organs are broken as hell. It was probably for the best as it means I'm not permanently tied to my now-ex. Hope to foster some day.

WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED?: Hahahahahahahahahaa... no. Though every school coach tried to recruit me for basketball until they found out I have zero hand-eye coordination.

DO YOU USE SARCASM?: Probably too often.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?: Hair, I think? Or some cool shirt/accessory.

WHAT'S YOUR EYE COLOUR?: Blue

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?: Happy endings. But I like monster movies.

ANY TALENTS?: I like to think I'm getting pretty good at writing? I hope... I'm also a former pastry chef, so I can make all kinds of fancy shit and wedding cakes and such.

WHERE WERE YOU BORN?: Ontario, Canada.

WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?: Writing, gaming, reading fanfic excessively, crochet (and knitting, cross stitch, sewing, all the fibre arts basically).

DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?: Currently two cats. Orange and Void. The Halloween Duo.

HOW TALL ARE YOU?: 6 foot (hence the basketball)

FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL?: Spanish

DREAM JOB?: I do not dream of labour. But since I must work, I really just want to do something I can feel good about. And if I could pay my bills, that would be a nice touch.

If you want to play: @biotickaidan @dandenbo @rowansnaps @aleksxo @deerbab @lonesurvivorao3 @hippotooth @vorchagirl @keriweird @eavangeek @eregarden @maintitle @choccy-zefirka @urrone @tatterings and literally anyone who's interested. ❤️

Thanks for the tag to do this picrew, @ad-astra13

So here’s my face, kinda:

Tagging @mallaidhsomo @urrone @swaps55 @screwyouflightlieutenant and @crescentbunny . No pressure, ofc

Tagged by @urrone for this:

shuffle your favorite playlist and post the first five songs that come up. then copy/paste this ask to your favorite mutuals <3

Semantics tangent: so I don’t have many “playlists” but I do have lots of “mixes” - I consider a playlist something that you throw a bunch of songs onto that might consist of lots from the same artist and not in any particular order but probably has some sort of theme. Mixes I consider as carefully curated in terms of song, artist, order, and theme and title.

I couldn’t possibly pick my favorite mix that I listen to. So I’m just going to go with my “tub tunes” one which is probably more of a playlist as my only criteria was relaxing songs to listen to while in the bath, order was less important to me and I didn’t come up with a title that’s a song lyric as I usually do.

Here are 5 shuffled songs from Tub Tunes

1. Knife- Grizzly Bear

2. I’m on fire - Chromatics ( Springsteen cover)

3. Love songs on the radio - Mojave 3

4. Purple Rain - Prince

5. Take Care - Yo La Tengo (Big Star cover)

Tagging anyone who wants to do it (I live for music memes)

This reminds me of that time we made a joke about cheese fandom, which inspired @urrone to go to AO3 and see if there were cheese fics. Which led to the discovery of a fic in which Ted Cruz got railed by Charles Entertainment Cheese, and we now just have to live in a world where that's a thing that exists.

I still think about the poor Etsy woman who received the request to embroider, "Put a bunch of monkeys in a room with typewriters and eventually one of them will write Ted Cruz getting railed by an animatronic rat," on a pillow.

A real person gave her real money to do it, and bless her, she did it.

Shoutout to incredibly contrived set-ups for kink stories, I respect the grind so much. One time I was frolicking in a field of flowers and I found a fic whose summary started w 'IN A WORLD WHERE THE LOSING ATTORNEY HAS TO SUCK OFF THEIR OPPOSITION' and it's been stuck on my mind ever since

Fucking fiiiiiiiinally, how does west Texas survive without Starbucks

THE PEPPERMINTING HAS BEGUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I do not know how West Texas survives. I will never forget the day I got in the car to drive from San Antonio to California, passed a Starbucks, thought, "eh, just got on the road not quite ready to stop yet I'll hit the next one."

The next one was 8 hours later in El Paso.

If you would like to read about the ones who kept watch over the beacons, my dear friend @urrone wrote a beautiful story about them.

The Rest is Silence

Time to get emotional about the lighting of the beacons

also props to the many folks in that chain whose job it is to hang out in the cold by a massive pile of firewood they can't use

@mallaidhsomo @urrone @ad-astra13

He said what he said

Here is my contribution to the fandom

I call it "The Bi Ted Thesis"

[liminal-zone]

Liz can I tell you a Great Lakes fact that terrifies me? If you take all of the water out of the lakes and spread it over the entire land mass of the lower 48, the water would be 12 feet deep. TWELVE FEET DEEP.

I made a hoarse wheezing noise imagining this.

[stoppit-keepout]

1 and 20!!

1. book you’ve reread the most times?

Definitely was a kids book, quite possibly The Baby Unicorn (a completely surreal book where a unicorn mom turns herself into a house for her baby to live inside), which I used to demand my parents read to me because it was really long, so it meant I could stay awake longer. :) Then maybe the Animorphs book where Tobias gets turned into a hawk (#8, I wanna say?, by K.A. Applegate), then we get into the less embarrassing Two Towers (Tolkien), which I'm sure I've read 7 times, or Night Watch (Pratchett), which I read most years in May. Oh, or Strong Poison (Sayers), because I looove it hahaha.

20. what are things you look for in a book?

I stand by my earlier answer, with the predictable addition that if there are queer people, that's a big plus too :)
