congrats on 10k babe, that's wild. you've been part of my tumblr experince i think for like... def the whole decade i've been on here? i think. very early on, if not. you get choices bc why not! FOLLOW: i think iirc it was back when we were both in our in love with Regina Mills eras. INTRODUCE: CRITICAL ROLE!!! your gifsets and tag novels abt them finally made me pick it up which has... honestly, brought me SO MUCH JOY over the last few years and got me into D&D and frankly, i love you for it<3

thank you so much, it is wild indeed!! that's so crazy to think about, but same, i can't remember a time we weren't following each other (and i am soooo grateful and honored about that fact!!) ❤️

i appreciate the choices but i had to do both hehe. here's the regina set (for all the wonderful years of reading your regina thoughts!!), and here is a critical role set. and oh man, i am soooooo happy you started critical role and that i could be part of the reason why. i remember when you first started posting about it and i did a little happy squeal - having you in my fandoms is a never ending gift. so trust me when i say, my pleasure!!! (and yay for d&d in general!!! it's it the BEST isn't it??) here's to many more years of shared fandoming, hopefully ❤️❤️❤️

Title: and love's the best sensation, hiding in the lion's mane Link: Click Here To View and Comment Author: celaenos Find them on: -Twitter: -Tumblr: banrions Rating: Mature Warning(s): No Archive Warnings Apply Words: 56k Summary: Regina takes a moment to study Emma. She wonders what form this woman’s dæmon would take, if it were outside of her and visible. She tries to find the traces of Henry in her. Tries not to reach out and strangle the woman and be done with it. It’s tempting. She’s wanted this woman dead since she was merely an idea blooming inside of Snow White’s womb. And now, she is here. She is Henry’s birth mother. (or, the one where it's a dæmon fusion au).

It's taken me nearly six months, but I've finally finished binding the absolutely MAGNIFICENT fic remember me love, when i'm reborn, by @banrions, which I've read more times than I can count and fall more in love with each time. It's so good guys. Go read it, you will not regret it

Look! Look how pretty it turned out!!! I learned how to dye fabric so I could make the covers just how I wanted and it went SO WELL, I am beyond happy with it. Ice dying fabric is super fun guys. (The basement sink is still pink. It's fine)

Anyway, this bind was an ADVENTURE. The first copy, everything went swimmingly until I realized the flat spine did not work so well for a book of this size, and the finished book didn't open very nicely. So I decided to do a rounded spine for the author copy and see if that worked better (it is MUCH better), but I accidentally printed the signatures TWICE the size they should've been, so the textblock was a mess and I let it sit, hideously, on my desk for like four months before deciding to just reprint it.

Behold the failure textblock:

I might use it to learn a new type of endband. We'll see lol

Anyway, look at more pretty pictures (I am bad at taking pictures, but the book is pretty)! This fic is WONDERFUL btw

Red Queen Book 3 Grumbling Update

I'm 3 chapters away from finishing Hans Røde Dronning and being ready to move on to Book 4 - Banrion Daerg.

I've been struggling with horrendous writer's block for this series ("No shit, Caster--do you even know how long it's been since you started this series? You misplaced your entire gender in the interim!") but that's mainly because any time I have to separate Caroline and Klaus for too long for plot reasons, I get bored. I wanted to write this because of the dynamic between them, so when that dynamic is absent on the page, my inspiration just isn't there.

I'm hoping since it's Thanksgiving vacation for me at work and the current plot moment is occurring during Caroline's Thanksgiving break from college that I'll be able to have enough momentum and time to get the last three chapters churned out and finished.

Book 4, however, I have to rework the outline because my original version had too much separation because of certain things I wanted to do with the plot, and if I want to get myself to write this series any more consistently, I can't keep losing my spark. I'll have to move some things around to make it work with the dynamic that I enjoy writing.

So the long and short of it is: Hopefully Book 3 finishes this calendar year, and Book 4 is pending an outline rework in order to avoid the issues I had with Book 3.

getting excited over pictures of miss banrion like they're pet pictures (they are to me)

ban lives a very comfortable life. by day, she guards my books with baby Sgaeyl and then when I get home she chills with me on my bed and supervises my writing. 🖤

Summary: Petra swallows, remembering the night in the stairwell. Thinking about how it was the first time Jane had felt real to her since the day they met, and how she didn’t want it to end, and how that was so, so dangerous. To want like that. (Or, Jane marries Petra to save her from Milos. And things start to get real complicated after that.)

Your recs are ON FIRe and I was wondering if you have any more Harryanthe recs (any POV)?

Harryanthe my beloved! I'm a multishipping mess these days but THIS is actually the ship I got back into fandom for

Harrow/Ianthe

A Little of You, A Lot of Bloodletting by monochrome_agalma; rated E, HtN era

Horrors pile upon horrors when Harrow walks in on Ianthe masturbating and finds her unwilling to stop.

Burned Out from a Joyride by @theriverbeyond; rated E, HtN era

“Or,” she said lightly, folding her long legs up to sit in front of you, close enough that you could feel the heat radiating off her skin. “I can show you how very grateful I am for your assistance, and we can fuck each other until we both forget what a horrible place this nightmare station is.”

or: Ianthe tries to thank Harrow after The Bone Arm scene. It's complicated for both of them.

docile, unkind, fraught by @meikuree; rated T

By the time you returned to Ianthe’s room from another practice session for Ortus the First’s ill-advised murder, it was late, or the Mithraeum’s moorless definition of late.

Or: Ianthe invents intricate rituals to touch Harrow. Harrow has a twisty time about it.

gallery walls by goldentwin; rated E, violence

Ianthe is very fond of the nude portraits that decorate her room aboard the Mithraeum. Harrowhark vehemently is not.

Some rough and horny Harryanthe content for art history enjoyers who want to wax poetic about iconography and religious ecstasy in your Lyctor porn.

Glory and Gore go Hand in Hand by quiriusblack, rated E

Harrow makes Ianthe a new arm. Then she fucks her about it.

thought that love was a kind of emptiness by @banrions; rated E, soulmate AU

The first time that Ianthe sees Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of Drearburh and Heir to the House of Ninth, she seems like an unremarkable little twit with some idiotic face paint.

to settle in a kingdom made of sugar by rosedamask; rated M, HtN era

Ianthe the First crashes a party in the River.

Repeat recs! I've recced these before but they're GOOD

a never feeling pleased when pleased by peacockbutchboy; Ianthe/Harrow + Ianthe & Corona, rated E, up to HtN

Despite wagging tongues claiming the contrary, Ianthe is capable of waiting patiently for her spoils. She and Harrow are caught in each other’s orbit for good, and there is no need to rush. She has an eternity at her disposal to capture her heart, and an eternity more to keep it for herself.

the cellar door is an open throat by 2wisheslikeafool; Ianthe/Harrow, rated E, HtN era

Ianthe experiences human emotions and tastes Harrow’s blood, only one of which is pleasant.

Harrow/Ianthe-ish

(Fics that aren't ONLY Harrow/Ianthe but I would rec specificially to Harryanthe fans)

(bad, bad news) one of us is gonna lose by valancytrinit; rated E, modern AU with powers

"You're not actually going to send Ianthe nudes, are you?" says the Body, in a tone that suggests she sincerely disapproves. Harrow never entertained what she thought the Body's views on pornography might be. She certainly never considered they might be quite conservative views.

Harrow sends the picture anyway.

[This is a modern AU with necromancy where Ianthe and Harrow sext. Also Gideon's ghost is there AND so is Alecto's ghost and they both have horny vibes with Harrow. This is just as weird and even better than I'm making it sound]

Lies Found Favor In Heaven by monochrome_agalma; rated T

God looked at you and saw everything wrong with the world he had wrought. It was painfully clear. So, when he asked about you and Harrow, you told him a lot of hot bullshit.

Or: what if John tried to talk safe sex with Ianthe too?

real love is a heart attack by @augustmourn; rated E, canon-setting AU (incest CW)

Harrow arranges a political marriage. Ianthe chafes under Ninth customs. Babs has a bad time. Corona will always come first.

[Ianthe marries Harrow and moves to the Ninth; this is primarily a Ianthe-centric fic and there's Corona/Ianthe alongside Harrow/Ianthe but I'm reccing it for the STEAMING HOT smut scene of Harrow punishing Ianthe in sexy ways.]

The Emperor's Daughter by @naryrising; rated T, Divine Highness AU

"Does anyone here actually want to marry the Emperor's daughter?" Harrow asked.

"That's a great question," said Palamedes. "I assume someone must. Lady Dulcinea Septimus says she's, and I quote, 'stacked.'"

[Harrow and Ianthe both try to flirt with God's daughter. They're competitive about it]

there is only one thing by @slashmarks; rated E, HtN AU

Resurrection Beast Seven stays on the original timeline, and Harrow's plan unravels anyway.

[This is Gideon/Harrow/Ianthe in a Gideon&Harrow bodysharing situation, but I'm reccing it here because the Harrow/Ianthe content is A+ Two words: sewn tongue]

[meikuree]

rare femslash exchange recs

first: I received two beautifully written fics for Rare Femslash Exchange and wholeheartedly rec them both!

And when I come home, cold and tired by @liesmyth

(The Locked Tomb; Harrowhark Nonagesimus/Ianthe Tridentarius, T rating)

   Sometime in the fourth century of the second myriad of the Resurrector—because, really, who kept count anymore? She could barely remember which decade they were in. The third, maybe.

   (Harrow, who kept track of these things, would know that they were in the fifth decade. She would despair of her negligence: Really, Tridentarius, you have half a decent brain and you can’t be bothered to look at a calendar? Ianthe would reply that she needed her brilliant mind for grander, better things; Harry could be the menial timekeeper if she so wished. Harrow would say: It’s the year four hundred fifty-seven. And so it was.)

   Thusly: in the year four hundred fifty-seven of the second myriad of the Kindly Prince—that that King of Kings, the Lord of the River, the Prince of Death!—the Eight Saint surfaced back into her body with a jolt.

-

Nothing Ugly by cordial

(아가씨 | The Handmaiden (2016); Hideko/Sook-Hee, M rating)

The early what-ifs were playful: What would it have been like, if we grew up together in your dorm of thieves? If we were schoolgirls together in Gyeongseong? If we were persimmon farmers? Excuses, only, to buy a hundred pretty hats and ruin them. 

-

other recs from the collection:

Immolation Claws Skyward by @boutiquetraveltravelboutique (Annihilation (2018); Lena/Lena Double, E rating)

The body forms like water, like fire, like the pyroclastic flow of magma from the earth’s core, rippling outwards from a single acquired droplet of Lena’s blood.

She backs away.

She runs.

with a smile, violently wild by @banrions​ (Elementary; F!Sherlock Holmes/Joan Watson, T rating)

When she stops and thinks about it, really allows herself to, the most alive she has ever felt was working with Sherlock; taking down Moriarty, the three of them in a strange dance together during the Kayden Fuller case. If she’s truly honest with herself, that awful thrill is what Joan wants. Even if it comes with a cost.

Punica Granatum by @aliatori (Hades (Video Game 2018); Nyx/Persephone, T rating)

When Persephone fled the Underworld, she left Nyx three things: a broken heart, a garden full of dying flowers, and an impossible promise to keep.

second garden by @bothzangetsus (Do Revenge; Eleanor Levetan/Drea Torres, T rating)

Take revenge once, shame on the people who deserved it. Take revenge twice, shame on... The person who definitely deserved it, again.

the collection is full of other wonderful f/f works too! check them out here.

@banrions hey heads up i think you misunderstood this post. Its not saying sharks are some kind of extraterrestrial organism, just the 3 stars that make up Polaris was not around when sharks first evolved. Its rather beautiful, if you think about it.

Also sharks arent as scary as everyone makes them out to be. Please dont reinforce the stigma around them.

Why Bitcoin May Not See a Santa Claus Rally Despite Potential Approval of Crypto-based ETFs

Happy holidays! Welcome back to the last installment of Distributed Ledger of 2023. This is Frances Yue, crypto and markets reporter at MarketWatch.

Historically, stocks tend to see a so-called “Santa Claus rally” 🎅, which refers to a phenomenon where U.S. equities rise over the last five trading days of the current year and the first three trading days of the new year.

During the past 75 years, the S&P 500 SPX closed higher 78% of the time during the Santa Claus trading window, and rose during the time for the past seven years, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

However, it was not the case for bitcoin BTCUSD, . The crypto only rose in six out of 13 Santa Claus periods since 2010. To be sure, bitcoin is trading every day, unlike stocks, so the Santa Claus trading windows differ slightly for the two assets.

I chatted with Victoria Bills, chief investment strategist at Banrion Capital, who said bitcoin may not see a Santa Claus rally this year and explained why.

Crypto market participants are expecting the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to approve a spot bitcoin ETF as early as next week.

However, a lot of hype around the ETFs is already priced in, which explains why bitcoin has been trading sideways for the past few days, Bills said in a call.

Excitement around bitcoin ETFs drove the crypto up over 157% so far this year, while the crypto is still down over 37% from its all-time high in 2021.

Analysts at QCP Capital echoed the point. It is likely that the actual demand for the bitcoin ETF would fall short of market expectations at the beginning, setting up “a classic sell the news scenario” in the second week of January, the analysts said in a recent note.

They expect bitcoin to see topside resistance in the $45,000 to $48,500 range, and a possible retracement to $36,000, before its uptrend continues.

Bitcoin’s rise is likely to resume once the ETFs arrive on the market, as it could start driving institutional inflow to the space, Bills noted.

“With the emergence of the new spot ETFs, we’re going to have increased liquidity into the market, and further accessibility for people who have always been interested in getting involved in bitcoin, but have been afraid to participate in the market that they view as unregulated,” Bills said.

Meanwhile, Grayscale Investments, whose application to convert its bitcoin trust into a spot exchange-traded fund is pending the SEC’s approval, said in a Tuesday regulatory filing that Barry Silbert had resigned as chairman and would be replaced by Mark Shifke.

In the new year, crypto traders will also start positioning for the bitcoin halving expected in April, when block rewards given to crypto miners will be cut in half. Historically, bitcoin has seen price appreciation take hold months after halvings.

Bitcoin fell 1.3% in the past seven days and traded at slightly above $43,000 on Wednesday, according to CoinDesk data. Ether ETHUSD, rose 1.8% during the same period, to about $2,349.
