Spite after Lucanis fumbles a pick up line to Rook:

I'm developing serious brainrot about my rook

[r-aindr0p]

Wondering how the mini rollos would react to an invasion of mini binghes. For science.

You both want to watch the world burn don't you ?

A mini-rollo would never hurt a fly. But a mini rook or a mini binghe ?? one of each could drown a cargo ship single-handedly

If you're lucky enough Sqq could stop the mini binghe rampage (unlucky for him though especially if there are several bingbongs)

But mini rook has no limit, even Vil or Neige couldn't stop a bunch of mini rooks on the hunt (or maybe if they collab they could have his attention for a while I suppose)

Harveston was a very fun event (that I really wanted to post about before lmao life got in the way)

I never expected this wacky group of individuals to have such a fun dynamic but then again, such is the nature of TWST innit

[neve-gallus-girl-detective]

I think it's so interesting that Neve talks about wanting to "follow through" on a case and prove herself trustworthy. It makes it sound like she (a) doesn't solve a lot of cases, (b) solves cases and then they fall apart because of corruption, or (c) has a hard time seeing "small" victories as "real." She feeds and houses the homeless, makes sure vendors can pay bills, makes sure customers aren't swindled, always sides with the "good" people in a situation, and is seen as a force of good in Docktown. Still, she doesn't see herself as having accomplished anything. It's such a nuanced take for a detective whose whole thing is being really good at her job. She takes comfort in helping every day people, but also can't see that as doing Actual Good.

Finished Veilguard a day ago so finally drew my mournwatcher rook <3

[vaguely-concerned]

you know it is hard to not feel for caterina a little in my worldstate. she loses sight of lucanis for a couple of months while her other grandson has her in jail for grandmother time-out, and by the time she sees him again he is in full undying devotion mode for the guy she sent to get him back. her grandson finally brought someone home, and it's a fairly low-level elven mortalitasi whose family background is 'idk we found this baby in a crypt and liked their vibes' who will not be giving her any biological grandchildren. not even one of the politically well-connected scheming mortalitasi, which could at least have been useful (nevarra is a bustling market for the crows! twenty contracts on the king alone and still going strong! still a payday baby let the good times roll!), but one of the dutybound earnest little freaks they keep down in the necropolis to wrangle skeletons and write esoteric papers and who frankly don't care that much about murder b/c death comes to us all in its own time anyway trust us on this one. lucanis looks at him like he hung the moon, the sun, every celestial object and glittering star in the sky, like he's the only real thing in the world. and in caterina vision she sees this weird little slip of a goth mage guy wearing too much kohl who cracks jokes at strange times and is so hard to read but also gives her the unmistakable flinty 'I'll try to keep this civil if you do the same. If.' eye contact over lucanis' shoulder sometimes, with the utter grave calm that only someone who's a speaker to the dead (and the dead are savage) and who has killed several gods and wouldn't back down from second deicide if necessary could bring to bear. she sucks and deserves this and more but she also does have a whole Situation on her hands here

(I love that rye's relationship to lucanis' family is basically 'I met some of the most insufferable people. but, they also met me'. he tangoed with the god of lies and betrayal so he could waltz his way through a dellamorte family dinner relatively unscathed)

eternally obsessed with the fact Illario is down in FRONT

pathos - chapter 9 is up

Pairing: Lucanis/Rook de Riva AU: modern, ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Rating: explicit (for eventual smut)

Summary:

Rook has been skating with Viago for as long as she remembers, so when a nasty fall takes him off the ice for the foreseeable future, she figures that’s the end of her career as well. Viago has other plans for his little sister.  Meanwhile, Lucanis sees an opportunity to finally leave the sport altogether when Illario steals his partner away from him, leaving him alone just months shy of the new season. Retiring isn’t quite as easy as he’d hoped though, with Caterina Dellamorte as his coach.  Rook and Lucanis find each other in a reluctant alliance in the race to first place. But can that gold medal really buy off Rook’s guilt? And does Lucanis really want to quit skating when he’s finally finding his joy for the sport again? 

Read chapter 9 on AO3 (In which Rook gets friendly advice (kind of), Viago tries to make amends (kind of), and Lucanis overhears something interesting (definitely).)

There are two types of Herondales.

This:

Clary turned instant traitor against her gender. “Those girls on the other side of the car are staring at you.” Jace assumed an air of mellow gratification. “Of course they are,” he said. “I am stunningly attractive.” “Haven’t you ever heard that modesty is an attractive trait?” “Only from ugly people,” Jace confided. “The meek may inherit the earth, but at the moment it belongs to the conceited. Like me.” - City of Bones

And This:

Stupid hot people, he'd written, won’t let me go home and get my stuff. - Kit in Lord of Shadows

Ladies and Gentlemen, which are you choosing and why is it Kit Herondale?

[cathedral-spires]

Can you imagine Rook going back to a semi-normal life after killing Elgar'nan? Maybe Solas kept his word, sealed the Fade, and hasn't been seen for a long while.

Rook - Hero, Head of the Veilguard, God-Killer - settles down with their Romanced and maybe has a couple of kids. People still celebrate them. People sing praises, but these kids know Rook as Mom/Dad/Parent. "My parents saved the world? Well, they grounded me, so they suck."

And this humbles Rook. Real Fast.

They love their children so fucking much and their kids prevent them from their ego getting enormous.

[rookanisstuff]

Anyone who opposes Rook is bald and i think that says something
