Tim: He lost the piercing, and I need to get him a new one because… I really don’t want to explain this in detail.

Duke and Stephanie sat on the other side of the table. Stephanie was chewing her burger, eagerly waiting for the next part of the story, while Duke sipped his smoothie.

Stephanie (mid-chew): I read Ice Planet Barbarians, and the Maple Series hasn’t released the third novel yet. I… need this!

Duke (bored): And I'm just here hanging around. I lived in Narrows, this isn't going to squick me out.

Tim sighed, blushing as he covered his forehead and stared at the table.

Tim (sheepishly): It feels really good when he... gives me fellatio.

Duke and Stephanie: Oh!

Stephanie: The sloppy toppy with the tongue ring!

Duke: Knob gobbling with the bling-bling!

Stephanie: He pleasures your schlong with-

Tim (interrupting, raising his voice): Stop!

Duke: We're just trying to understand. I’ve never received one or given one.

Stephanie (mischievous tone): And I don’t have a penis. Plus, we love making your face turn red.

Tim groaned, shooting a glare at his friends.

Tim: My point is I need to get a new ring for his tongue piercing, or I can’t focus tonight!

Stephanie: Then I think we can help you out, how about Hot Topic?

Duke: Spencer’s?

Stephanie: Both of them would get an infection if we go there. Pandora Piercing has some really cool barbell tongue rings.

Tim (enraged): Oh my God, why didn’t you say that earlier?!

Stephanie: Because your blushing is hilarious! And again, I have no spicy books to read… So, after that, we can shop for cock—

Tim quickly covered Stephanie’s mouth as Duke burst out laughing, munching on a fry.

do you think that dalish weddings ceremonies have rituals to “appease the dread wolf” as a blessing for the couple? like dressing up the fen’harel statue at the edge of camp with flowers and burning strong incense near it so he cant catch their scent. or symbolically “tricking” the wedding guests by baking a single pepper into the cake that ends up in someone’s slice for fen’harel’s enjoyment. basically doing things to make sure fen’harel doesn’t feel neglected so he won’t bring nightmares to your wedding night and misfortune to the marriage

and when lavellan marries the dread wolf she gets great amusement out of dressing him in flowers and giving him spicy cake

Get ready for another episode of…

Spicy Smashing Two Pieces of Media Together in a Crossover!!

Today we have…

Batman and Gravity Falls!!

Okay, so picture this.

The Pine Twins are on a school field trip to Gotham/Wayne Enterprises. Dipper, wanting to fill out his own journal at this point, convinces Mabel to seek away.

“What? You want to hunt down Batman?” Mabel asks.

“Not Batman. Manbats.” Dipper holds up a rough sketch of a bat human hybrid. “There’s been rumours about them. People mistaking them for the actual Batman only to get their face scratched off.” Dipper closes the journal. “Too bad we would only be able to talk to some locals. Obviously they only come out at night, but we’re already in so much trouble for bringing home Waddles.”

“Yeah, it’s too bad.” Mabel mopes. “I wish I could stay to lay my eyes open Nightwing’s Spandexed butt.”

Dipper pats her back sympathetically, “Hey, maybe we’ll get to see Signal’s spandexed butt.”

Mabel then rambles how Signal’s butt falls on her scale of vigilante butts. Pretty high up there tbh.

And then for plot reasons they stay out too late and not only see a Manbat, but also the Batman.

While Batman is figuring out a way to get them home safe, they over hear another investigation going on. Something with dimensions, portals, but most importantly triangles.

They struggle to convince the bats that they need the twin’s help. Until they mention Gravity Falls.

Gravity Falls was an anomaly to the Justice League. They’re aware something catastrophic happened but unsure what or why it went away. They have practically nothing to go off too. Townsfolk are committed to not acknowledging anything happened.

After seeing proof that the twins were there at the time of the incident, Batman decides to let them help.

“Well, uh, it’s hard to explain. My Great Uncle Ford knows the most about it, but he’s a little hard to reach right now…” Dipper fidgets, suddenly aware that BATMAN AND CO are counting on him for info.

“What about that thing that he gave us!” Mabel exclaimed. “The cellphone thing!”

“The cellphone thing?” Robin asks, skeptical of their whole story.

“It’s like this super phone that can reach our Grunkles in the arctic.” Mabel explained, searching her brother’s pocket’s

“But he said that we should only use it in case of an emergency.” Dipper swats Mabel’s hands away.

“Dipper. Bill Cipher is potentially back. How is this not an emergency!?”

Yeah, anyway I think it would be cute. Also Soos and Wendy are there. Soos because he’s sworn to always help and protect the Pines and he takes it very seriously. And Wendy because she doesn’t want to miss out on the action.

I think the philosophical difference between Wheel of Time and Game of Thrones's class politics is best shown in how they depict their servant characters.

Take Lini and Lars as really good examples: they are a nurse and cook respectively, and lack any sort of structural power or protection at all, something they both are very aware of. But despite their relatively low place in society they are still principled, intelligent, women who the narrative treats with a lot of respect. Lars's acts of mercy and courage come up repeatedly- from refusing to be part of what she sees as unjust punishments of novices in The Dragon Reborn, to smuggling Siuan, Leane and Min to safety in The Shadow Rising, to being ready to break Egwene free of her imprisonment herself in Knife of Dreams. Keyly, Lars does all this not out of any loyalty to other more powerful characters, but entirely because of her own sense of right and wrong. She has no concern for the shifts in Tower politics because that is completely out of her control and she knows it. Rather she makes choices based entirely on what she thinks is right, refusing to be complicit in something she thinks is wrong and taking huge risks to do what she can for others whenever the opportunity presents itself.

In the same vein Lini, while personally loyal to Morgase and her family, is one of the few people in Morgase's life who is willing to treat her as a human being first and a Queen second: speaking her mind even when she knows it will upset Morgase, giving honest advice and wisdom, and generally refusing to acknowledge the huge power gap in their relationship- and Morgase not only allows this but clearly values it, even when it makes her angry, because with Lini she doesn't have to have any pretense, and she can trust the sincerity of Lini's words in a way she can't with courtiers and other rulers. When Lini helps Morgase escape the palace in The Fires of Heaven, she isn't doing it out of fealty to her Queen the way the rest of the team is. She is doing it because she cares for Morgase as a individual, and as a girl she helped raise to adulthood. As they continue on the run, the nuance and complexities of their relationship are explored more heavily- particularly after Morgase abdicates, and Lini's loyalty endures, because it was never about Morgase's throne or her power, but her as a person.

Contrast that with the way Games of Thrones depicts it's servants. The only ones who receive any real depth of character exploration are a few of the House Stark servants, and even then they exist largely as extensions of their masters. Old Nan and Hodor lack agency of their own, and they are not treated as having value by the narrative as independent characters, or having interior lives, motivations, or relationships to complexly explore. Even if we stretch the definition of servant to include a clerical tutor like Septa Mordane and the (presumably) commoner born Knight Rodrik Cassel this picture doesn't improve- because the primary role of both is to suffer and be harmed as a way to hurt other, more important characters.

And this is something you can walk out to pretty much the entire way the two worlds are built. Every time Jordan shows off a new place from Fal Dara to the Waste he remembers to answer the question 'who is cleaning the chamber pots and cooking the meals the sweeping the streets'- and some of his most interesting world building details from the Aiel gai'shain, to the structure of Borderlander's households via the shambayan and shatayan are born of his answers. More over he remembers that those people have humanity: their own wants, needs, and beliefs that are important to them even if they aren't important players in the scope of the narrative. Even if our heroes are stopping at a random inn for a single night, Jodan doesn't forget to show that inn is staffed with people who are going about their own lives entirely independently of the main characters who just wandered in.

By contrast the commoners in Westeros are largely invisible except when they are being impacted by the actions of the noble characters. The idea of the 'small folk' is presented as this nebulous concept, a vaguely homogeneous monolith that in theory is supposed to matter to the nobles but in practice doesn't really- which would an interesting class commentary if the narrative didn't also treat them that way- as if their only real value is being the foundation on which these power struggles are being fought. We're not encouraged to empathize with the cook, or the street sweeper, or the maid gathering laundry because we're not directed to notice them unless they are being a problem, which is exactly how all the nobles in Game of Thrones behave. There's also no nuance or complexity to the relationships between servants and their masters- it is only an expectation of simple obedience, and no energy is ever expended on the relationships between servants at all.

Wheel of Time from the beginning takes the position that everyone maters- maybe not to the fates of nations and the path of destiny, but to themselves and to the story that is being told. Game of Thrones takes the position that only nobles matter and everyone else matters only in relation to them- which for a story ultimately about an aristocratic civil war is fine, but it limits the depth of the world and the ability to say anything meaningful about class or society.

Dark Romance Prompts #1

The Captor Who Shouldn’t Have a Heart (But He Does And It’s Beating for Her) She’s been taken. Not by accident. Not by mistake. He wanted her, so he took her. She should hate him, does hate him, but the more time she spends locked in his world, the harder it is to tell where the fear ends and something darker begins. Because the real problem isn’t escaping. It’s that a twisted part of her isn’t sure she wants to.

The Hitman Who Was Supposed to Kill Her, But Couldn’t. She saw something she shouldn’t have, and now there’s a price on her head. He was supposed to pull the trigger, but the moment he looks into her eyes, everything changes. She’s terrified of him, and she should be. He’s done unforgivable things. But now he’s the only thing standing between her and the monsters worse than him.

The Villain’s Bargain (Where Love Is Just Another Kind of Trap) She made a deal with the wrong man. A deal she knew was dangerous, but desperation made her reckless. Now, she belongs to him, body, soul, and whatever’s left of her sanity. And he likes watching her struggle. But the more she fights, the more fascinated he becomes. The real game isn’t power anymore. It’s control. And neither of them knows who’s really winning.

The Underground Fighter Who Can’t Decide if He Wants to Protect Her or Ruin Her. She wandered into the wrong place, at the wrong time, and now she’s tangled up in a world of illegal fights, blood money, and a man who is nothing but danger wrapped in bruised knuckles and whispered threats. He should scare her. He does scare her. But when he fights, it’s not just survival in his eyes. It’s something else. Something dark. And it’s looking at her.

The Mafia Prince Who’s Always Had His Eyes on Her. She’s off-limits. Untouchable. A good girl who doesn’t belong anywhere near his world. He’s cruel, merciless, and doesn’t care about things like morality. But when someone else threatens to take her, his patience snaps. If the world won’t keep her safe, he will. Even if it means keeping her for himself.

I just had to draw Josh and Fred the cat

If you recognise them, that's a real "What were YOU doing at the devil's sacrament?" kind of situation.

If you are 18+ I totally recommend the book to you. Very funny. Very spicy.

If you are a minor, please don't look it up.

I didn't want him morally grey. I wanted someone with a soul as black as night. Someone who would burn the world down for me and not lose a single minute of sleep over it.

[foldingfittedsheets]

So I went to Geek Girl Con this year and the best panel we attended was one where Librarians recommend your next spicy romance read and since they provided a list I figured I'd share the list because why the hell not?

I feel like it's pretty obvious which ones I was more interested in based on what I remember.
