#and because of mounting

[not-poignant]

Just saw the utg excerpt and seeing flitmouse still managing to be relaxed by the mounting position, despite the ammount of traumatising events surrounding it,

It rreaaaallly cements the horror behind efnisien completely rejecting it entirely and having SUCH a visceral reaction to it

Gary wasn't lying when it was something fundamentally broken :(

Yeahhhh, I feel like how omegas - even traumatised omegas - respond to things like alpha persuasion, or being mounted etc. highlights just how profoundly Efnisien was - to the staff at Hillview - just having this radically aberrant, strange response. While they believed he was an omega, nothing made sense, and of course they couldn't predict his outcomes. When you have omegas like Flitmouse and even Nate still calming at alpha persuasion, every reaction Efnisien has is awful (far more like an alpha).

But his trauma around mounting is severe. It highlights just how much it's an act for omegas, and therefore, how much it's an act done to emasculate and harm alphas after say, a duel. It's something that almost no alphas experience these days in "humane" society, so for Efnisien to be going through it on a weekly basis was truly shocking to Gary.

I am so glad, in a way, that Gary could kind of hear the safeword, pause, and then be like 'oh no we have to stop' even if he can't articulate it in clear sentences. He was very horrified to find out what he'd been about to do, and it's a good sign of just how much those peak alpha urges take over cognitive thought in those states. Gary goes out of his way to avoid hurting Efnisien like that, unless he's in that state of mind.

That being said, I will always love Efnisien still managing to snark, in his state of sheer terror, about how the panic button's still too far away lol

The Lord of the Rings is so full of goodness. It's good on a literary quality level, but it's also just crammed full of good things written by a guy who understands goodness. It's good on a literary level, good on a moral level, good in its appreciation of so many different kinds of good things. You've got the vastness of ancient myths and the homely coziness of small towns and casual heroism from the most ordinary people. It knows a hot bath is good, an ancient legend is good, giving up everything and everyone you've known in a desperate attempt to save the world is good. So many different layers of what good is, and it understands and appreciates all of them. Very few books are to-the-core Good the way that this one is.

Anson Mount on Jonathan Frakes directing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Anson Mount and fellow Strange New Worlds cast-members Celia Rose Gooding and Melissa Navia, all of them huge fans of Jonathan Frakes, shared an anecdote at their Emerald City Comic Con panel in Seattle. → March 9 2025

They said Frakes always goes "Cut print!" at the end of a take and if he doesn't do it for some reason, it makes them wonder if he didn't like the take! :)

Katniss tried to take Prim hunting exactly once, and it went about as well as expected - she failed to shoot anything and burst into tears when Katniss showed her how to skin a rabbit. On the way back they found a lost colt with an ear bitten off and a nasty set of claw marks on its flank. Katniss was happy to just leave it, but Prim insisted they nurse it back to health.

Thus began the long and turbulent relationship of Katniss and Buttercup. Mortal enemies to the bitter end, they've entered an uneasy truce only through their love of Primrose; Katniss promises not to shoot the damn thing, and he in turn tries to resist trampling her. (He'll still try to throw her off now and again, of course. A horse has his pride.)

Everyone in the tags calling Style swagless and rizzless, but can I just raise the counterpoint that the second he actually tried to be seductive, Fadel folded like the wet tissue paper he had to use to clean himself up afterwards.

Eragon and Murtagh's friendship is one of the best things in the 1st book. Two guys who didn't know what to do and where to go. It was just them, their horses and the dragon

Finally done framing my prints from @naruysae !!

This was my first time mounting and framing, and I definitely learned a lot. I'm VERY happy with how Burning Dove came out. I'm excited to continue mounting and framing the fanart prints I purchase in the future!! (Now to find a wall to hang these ...)
