Maybe he loves things he can’t have the most. Maybe he loves when what he wants is behind glass. Maybe he loves wanting and loves loving, more than he ever loved.

I really like the idea behind this, most stuff seems to portray Quirrel and Monomon’s relationship as being mother-son or lovers, but here it’s a bit more open to interpretation (not that the former two are bad, it’s just neat to see something new) and also that they were still close, but to some degree Quirrel resents her for “leaving him behind” instead of just accepting that she’s gone

It makes him feel more like a real person

ok so i know i  like JUST posted yesterday but… @aryashi, @lost-kinn…. holy shit that last chapter…. These are kinda rushed and messy but i couldnt stop thinking about these scenes edit: shit almost forgot this, fanart for the fic: Stag Beetles And Broken Legs

Half an hour ago, Martin would have thought that was completely ludicrous, an obvious attempt to deflect, or the words of a delusional man. Now, though—

“Now you’ve seen it in action. You know that I can hear your thoughts. How else would I know you’re a spy? How else would I know your name is Martin?”

His breath catches in his throat.

What was supposed to be a simple reconnaissance mission takes a dramatic turn, and one Agent's life will never be the same again.

Red vs Blue except sarge found Lopez as an ODST when Lopez was an AI on a burning ship and sarge saved him and they have an epic backstory and that is why Lopez doesn't just kill sarge already and actually cares about him even a little bit

what's your hollow knight au... woah i;m so interested already

WOWOWOW hello :) I'm so glad u asked! Forgive me for the long post friend

1) Lost Kin Food Adventures/Also Hallownest Restored AU:

Part of me wants to keep it brief since I've story boarded a whole chapter of this I've kept but I got to edit it first (if I ever do ;-;)

- Lost Kin being a student and having an informal child/father type relationship Nail master Oro

- Lost kin learns that it's Nailmaster Oro's Hatchling day coming up soon, and they are invited by Sheo and the Nail Smith! Both teach them about birthdays/Hatchling day traditions

- They intend to make a cake! But learns that not many people in Hallownest don't know how to

- Although Lemm is a Relic-Seeker, Lost Kin learns that Lemm had heard of knowledge of adventurers cooking and baking, so they venture out to find the ingredients themselves together

Sideplot skirmishes/Character Moments:

- Hallownest is being rebuilt, and more bugs are flooding in! Hornet makes Quirrel an informal advisor to The Hollow Knight to help organize the kingdom a bit much to Lemm's chagrin

- Lemm × Quirrel: Lemm worries that Quirrel is not thinking about himself after seeing him devote more time to restoring to kingdom. This leaves Quirrel kind of hurt and they fight over it sometimes.

- Lost Kin figuring out themselves battling trauma between the Radiance and Pale King, trapped between void and light.

- Canon Drama: There's still tension between Oro and Mato and the Nailmaster family is tryna fix that

- Minor Drabble: Quirrel and the Hollow Knight reminiscing over their trauma and how they heal to being scared about rebuilding the corpse that is Hallownest

**(I'd imagine Quirrel here thinking fondly of Lemm when he says "it's okay to be useless" from the Stag Beetles and Broken Legs fanfic and somehow paralleling that to the Hollow Knight's new responsibility as king to not have as much pressure. That fic by Aryashi and relationshipcrimes on Ao3 is amazing, go go go)

Notes:

- I'D ASSUME Sheo, Mato, and Oro are all triplets since they're practically identical but for that AU they've hatched on different days

- After installing Tumblr, I've seen SO MUCH food AU Stuff and I'm excited I'm not alone :_) I can't remember the exact creators that I've seen tho sadge

- Its funny since with this AU it assumes that Hallownest's gastronomy (at least in the baking department) being underwhelming as heck. I mean most people in Hallownest are warriors so I don't expect them too kek.

- Battling the fine line betwixt reality and fiction because I've done baking research on what Lemm and Lost kin CAN cook realistically but then like can bugs digest milk? Can bugs make a human cake and eat it too? Or do I have to use realistic substitutes? (Help I learned cockroaches can make milk, now you can know about it too HAH but yea no don't want that)

- Finally, definitely wanna flesh out Lemm and Lost Kin's relationship but I'm not sure how they would bond over in story. Maybe over Lemm's curiosity over the Pale family history and why these bugs look all the same and Lost Kin wanting to just experience life suffering from possession from radiance and such.

^pg 1 storyboard (also I just realized, I don't know really if vessels are born ? So that's kind of sad)

This my most beefiest au that I will probably not fully write out (maybe)? Since writing is not my strength at all but thinking of character interactions is so fun. I have more different AU stuff but saving them for other days yes

Vampire's Pet

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/qEadRTs by Aryashi “You’re mine. I’ve made you mine. My pet.” The word doesn’t even register at first. Jon keeps waiting for the follow up, the next part of the phrase. Pet project, perhaps, or pet sitter, somehow. Because you can’t just say things like that. It doesn’t compute. A person can’t just look someone in the eyes and tell them, point blank, that now they’re someone’s pet. “Take your time,” Martin says softly. “I know it’s a big change.” Words: 4173, Chapters: 1/?, Language: English Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast) Rating: Explicit Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Categories: M/M Characters: Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist, Martin Blackwood Relationships: Martin Blackwood/Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Vampire, Vampire Bites, Compulsion, Kidnapping, Petplay, or whatever you call petplay that isn't play, Dead Dove: Do Not Eat, Explicit Sexual Content, Sex Toys, Extremely Dubious Consent read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/qEadRTs

🔁,😊, and 💯

🔁 A fic you’ve re-read several times

Stag Beetles and Broken Legs by Aryashi & relationshipcrimes! It's a Hollow Knight fic that focuses on Quirrel & Lemm and explores like... the meaning of life? if you need a purpose? I'm doing a terrible job of selling it, but trust me, it's incredible! It's so good I made a silly art for it!

😊 A fic that made you smile on a bad day

I can't recall any specifically that've brought a smile to a bad day, so I'll just pick one that makes me smile and go with Miles to go Before we Sleep by Llwyden ferch Gyfrinach. It's a TMA/Malev crossover that includes such fun bickering and banter, and even though it's unfinished, it's still fun to revisit!

💯 A fic that makes you think #writergoals

So many. There are so, so, soooo many talented writers out there and they've all got so many skills I want to have one day! For this ask specifically I think I'm gonna go with Legacy by WarlordFelwinter. It's a Destiny AU focused on Timur & Felwinter (and the relationship between them), and it's a masterful work of an AU with such strong and interesting characterizations and some absolute gut punches thrown in now and then, and to be able to craft a long-form fic like that is absolutely goals!

I follow you because your patrol route is pretty easy to remember, but I haven't gotten good at timing when to knock you out so I don't alert the rest of the guards

Huh?!

[redsavant]

(CW: Canon-typical discussions of violence, police brutality, blood, death) So this kind of extends from u/Wrigglebuggo’s post on Reddit about TMA as a melancholic walk “amongst ruins”, where most of the people Jon has been reading about and most of the supernatural “community” is dead and gone by the time Jon is Archivist. That, combined with the statement we got in TMA 200, made me realize something about the Fears: they’ve also deteriorated. What the Archivist describes in TMA 200 sounds like a golden age for the Fears. They’re less distinct, less focused, but more in a way that’s hard to describe. Everyone knew them and knew nothing about them. There were no words to explain the fear. Then, people started speaking, they invented language and words, and they started breaking the Fears apart. But we humans have told stories since we had the words to do so, and I can’t imagine how the Fears must have spread over campfires, along long and lonely roads, during watches atop castle walls. The examples the Archivist gives - the Hermit who brings darkness, the Chieftain who breathes decay, the Traveler whose face is a blank - those sound like legends, the kinds of tales that embed themselves in a cultural consciousness and never really go away. "We caught a guy and his creepy cult putting a boy in black water in a warehouse, shot four of them, and arrested the rest" on a police report, as a news story... like, sure, that's disturbing, but 99.99% of people are going to glaze over that in the morning paper while they're busy getting ready for work. But 2500 years ago? A traveling caravan stops by for the night, you trade goods and some stories, and they tell you about the town further to the south that just vanished under a night that didn't end? And then in contrast, we have modern-day society. Like user thevoidcannotbefilled noted, TMA’s heavily shaped by modern capitalist society, from the obvious (Kulbir Shakya “drowning in debt” in TMA 129) to the more subtle (the "Sleep No More” billboard that tormented Lydia Halligan in TMA 79).  But even with elements like debt, the rise of the Flesh as the poster fear for commodification and processing, and so on... The Dark used to be one of the core Fears, and it still informs so many of the others - the unknown, and what could be out there. But the modern-day Dark cultists have to willingly hold their hands over their ears, close their eyes, and go "la la la" to avoid all the things we know. We know so much that they have to try to be ignorant. The Hunt used to be, as the Archivist said, teeth and eyes and fear and blood, an incoherent mess of adrenaline, the chase and being chased, whether that’s for something abstract like El Dorado or for something specific like vampires. But I don’t think it’s coincidence that the most prominent manifestation of the Hunt in TMA is cops - the casual, banal brutality of abusing people who can’t fight back, with interrogation that never ends or with more direct violence. (And I feel like there’s something to be said about the Hunt specifically as a power imbalance Fear, with the direct invocation of conquistadors and the colonizing pillaging of the hunt for El Dorado, but that’s a post for someone else to make). The Slaughter is still around, definitely, with things like drone strikes and improvised explosives - the fear of sudden and terrible violence will never go away. But our perceptions are changing. There are no fifes and drums in war anymore, and the glory has rubbed away, leaving just the capitalist pocketing the soldier’s heart and thanking him for his service. There are plenty of scopophobia-related statements in TMA as well, but how well do those translate to reality? People joke about the FBI agents behind our webcams (thanks Aryashi!), we upload ourselves to Youtube for millions of people to look at, and the Eye itself doesn’t do anything with what it sees - it just stares blankly at the feed, scrolling endlessly, taking momentary pleasure from one tidbit before it’s forgotten and it moves on to the next. Overall, I don’t really know what to draw from this. I won’t go so far as to say the world was better in the past; that’s all kinds of problematic for a whole bunch of reasons.  But there’s also an element of loss to it somehow. The Fears, despite their awful manifestations, despite their (insensate, unknowing) victory, are weakened. There’s less to discover - and while TMA generally lands firmly on the side that it’s better not to get involved in what’s out there, there’s still that feeling that the world is mapped, the mysteries are explained, things are all documented.The monsters started to exist, and then they got named, and then they got shown, and we all know what happens when you show the monster.
