Under the serene glow of the full moon, the winter landscape sleeps in peaceful silence, wrapped in nature's frosty embrace

Dang girl, I feel this as an old Winter x Moonwatcher shipper! Keep it up!

Why Kallura works Part One

Keith and Allura from Voltron: Legendary Defender are not the most obvious couple but they are by far the most healthiest. How, you ask? From the beginning, Keith stuck with Allura. They were not friends yet but he was the first to step in front of her from Klaizap even though he was tiny. But what makes them more special than Keith with anyone else? A lot of their arcs have to do with each other.

The writers made the deliberate choice to make Keith half-Galra and to have Allura have an issue with that. They could have gone with any Paladin - in fact if they wanted her to end up with Lance, making him part Galra would have actually made them have a little bit of development. But the evidence for Keith and Allura starts as early as the s1 finale. Keith might have sounded cold about not wanting to take Voltron to rescue Allura but guess what? Allura had the same thought because it was stupid to do a confrontation. I am sorry, Shiro but it really was.

Their moments became deeper when they ran away together - once again, they were on the same wavelength but besides that, we all have our dark sides and we all have our shortcomings. Allura's prejudice was one of those shortcomings and Keith even though he had some doubts that he had something to do with the Galra questioned her on this. That hey not all these people are bad, you're being a little closed-minded. Helping each other grow as a couple is amazing, I feel. There was another sweet moment between them where they recognise each other's importance on the team. Allura recognises Keith as a Paladin and useful part of the team and Keith starts off with this so while it may not be a big deal, valuing each other is.

Then finding out Keith was Galra. Hang on I'm going to get a screenshot of how Keith responded to Allura ignoring him:

He is devastated! She clearly means a lot to him for him to feel that bad and while we know they make up, this brings me to another point. Keith and Allura are the only two characters to apologise to each other. Allura when she hurt Keith with her ignorance and Keith when he snaps at her in The Journey Within because he started by lashing out at her father and then brought up Lotor so they are the only two characters to apologise to one another. Since I've mostly talked about season 1 and season 2, I will do a part 2 to this post so keep your eyes peeled for that.

The Scouts Path

Fandom: Valdemar Ship: Skif/Wintermoon (With background Elspeth/Darkwind, mentioned past one sided Skif/Elspeth, mentioned past Skif/Nyara) Rating: M Wordcount: Chapter 1 - 1857 - Cymry POV Chapter 2 - 2655 - Skif POV Chapter 3 - 1483 - Wintermoon POV Chapter 4 - 3343 - Skif POV Chapter 5 - 1408 - Wintermoon POV Chapter 6 - 1049 - Skif POV Chapter 7 - 1962 - Wintermoon POV Chapter 8 - 1335 - Skif POV Chapter 9 - 1405 - Wintermoon POV Chapter 10 - 1220 - Skif POV Chapter 11 - 1606 - Wintermoon POV Chapter 12 (Final) - 1112 - Skif POV Total Wordcount Posted: 20,435 Summary: What if Skif fell for the Hawkbrother Scout helping him find Nyara? What if Wintermoon found himself falling for an Outlander, despite all his reasons not to? And what if Nyara was just fine with all of that?

Basically a What If based on a reread of the books for the first time in years, seeing it in a new light and thinking there was more chemistry and interaction between Skif and Wintermoon than there ever was of Skif and Nyara.

SAMS characters as Marvel characters you want?

Puppet as Scarlet Witch? Moon as Ant-Man? Lunar as Spider-Man? Earth as Storm? Bloodmoon as the Winter Soldier?

Thank you for the characters 😃 I'm probably gonna need a bit to draw some of them, but believe it or not, I actually did draw Lunar as Spider-man! Also, Bloodmoon is a winter soldier I can see, either that or Sabertooth.

I should have known that William Goldman had already written the perfect summary of the Imaginary Book Recs project.

"This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it."

Book Rec: The Queens of Wintermoon

You need to read The Queens of Wintermoon by Jessica Wagner. Fair warning: it's a brick. Its style is rambling and the prose veers toward purple. But if you have the patience and the stamina for it, it's worth the effort.

The story is a sprawling exploration of the cultural and political dynamics of Wintermoon which, as the name implies, is a moon that exists in a nearly-perpetual winter, and the culture is vaguely Imperial Russian in flavor. There are dozens of subplots, but the main story revolves around the four daughters of a low-ranking family. The three elders--Ksenia, Polina, and Vitalia--secure marriages with the lords of three high noble houses--Raven, Eagle, and Falcon--while the youngest, Inessa, marries an impoverished woodsman. All four of them wind up in unexpected situations--Ksenia is ignored in a tight-knit family structure and has to secretly prove her usefulness, Polina becomes her husband's right hand as he pushes for reforms, and Vitalia has to fight to retain power for her infant son when her husband dies less than a year into her marriage. Inessa lives a happy, simple life, until she learns that her husband may actually be the emperor of all Wintermoon.

While all this drama is unfolding, mysterious objects are falling from the heavens. Many are mangled lumps of metal, but some of them appear to be intact machines that do astounding things and/or generate vast amounts of power, and the political drama is magnified tenfold by the race for different houses to claim these sources of power for themselves. Some characters accomplish great deeds, some do monstrous things, and before the end of the (very long) book, the society of Wintermoon is changed in profound ways.

This is a book that you read first for the atmosphere. The writing style, while it takes a bit of getting used to, immerses you into the vast and strange world of Wintermoon. The worldbuilding can be a bit handwavey, but the atmosphere pulls you along so well that the inconsistencies don't matter much. Wintermoon's surface provides vivid wintery images that Wagner is happy to spend a bit of purple prose on, and there's an underground world that's even more fascinating. Vast fields and orchards and farms exist beneath the surface, as well as vibrant cities, all lit and warmed by mysterious power sources, and it's wonderful to explore. Some of the images have been imprinted on my brain ever since I first read the book years ago.

But I can't forget the characters. There are hundreds of them, and admittedly most of them can tangle into a jumble of names, but the four main sisters and their husbands remain vivid in my mind. Observant Ksenia, headstrong Polina, strong and cunning and oh-so-fragile Vitalia, and loyal, sweet Inessa who can make the world move around her--these sisters are all so different, but even when they wind up on opposite sides in a many-faceted political rivalry, they're still sisters, with all the love and rivalry that suggests; their personalities and complicated dynamics are what kept me turning the pages of this intimidating book. Their husbands are equally vivid, all flawed and complicated, but intriguing partners to these four vibrant women. (Ksenia and her husband are a beautifully painful OTP, as are Inessa and her secret-keeping husband).

If any of this sounds at all interesting to you, find a copy of the book and settle down under a blanket for a long winter trek. As intimidating as this book can be, it's worth every one of the 800+ pages.
