Temperatures were hovering right at freezing for several days, and you know what that means: It's Jesus Geese season!!

I wasn't fast enough with my camera, but the local pond looked exactly like this.

Ok, but Shen Jiu being Shen Yuan's father is so funny in a very tragic way. Shen Jiu is a ball of traumas and all types of issues and i truly believe there's not a single one that man doesn't have, so, you give him a baby!Shen Yuan, a little ball of life that depends on him for survival, cannot walk away from him and is culturally wired to pretty much love him and if not, to at the least respect him above all else, you cannot tell me that this man would be normal about him. Also, imagine Shen Jiu, who'd be the type of parent to project traumas the way only a mother could, having a child that looks like him but with a "sweeter" personality (which, by the way, is bullshit, they just have never seen that boy rip into a book he disliked but wouldn't stop reading) that has the effect on men Shen Yuan has, he'd lock that boy up in a tower to "cultivate" and consequently create a rumor about the Qing Jing's beauty who was so bewitching their peak lord father locked them in a tower because that's just his luck. Loving Shen Yuan wouldn't fix him, but it'd create a whole new set of issues that'd cancel out the other ones

Had to get a Very Large Roach off the ceiling in my kitchen and shrieked when it started flying.

Now, for unrelated reasons, I am writing a ballad about a Very Grand and Brave Knight, slayer of Dragons and Fearsome Beasts, who disappeared after encountering a single bug.

Never mind what kind it was, that isn't important to the plot.

Odysseus of Troy AU

Inspired by the Warrior!Penelope AU, @maggie44paint's Malewife Menelaus AU & @theblindgoddess + DaughterOfDungeonBat's Penelope of Troy AU.

So instead of Helen, Paris chooses Odysseus, thinking he's the safer option because he's just the king of small, barren Ithaca & super smart. Baby Telemachus is also spirited away as extra leverage.

Paris thinks he's being cunning, hoping this choice can somewhat ease Athena's wrath as well.

At first, Athena is furious....but then she gives the go-ahead for 3 reasons.

Odysseus will give Paris hell.

Hera will give Paris hell.

This one is important: Penelope will give Paris hell.

Paris tells himself he's doing Penelope a favour! Now she can find another, more powerful husband & have another kid with him. Plus, she's a woman with a tiny kingdom, it's not like she'll come knocking on Troy's walls.

Newsflash: a furious Penelope comes pounding on Troy's walls with a vengeance.

(Bonus if she isn't even being backed by Ares here. Oh no, all that unstoppable rage is 100% pure Penelope.)

In Olympus, Hera & Athena are cackling and high-fiving over a bucket of popcorn. In Troy, Ody is going full Mission Impossible, being a monster (rawr rawr rawr) to Paris, mapping out servant passages, calculating how much cloth it'll take to make a long enough rope & hoarding tiny paper scraps and crumbs for bird feeding.

He goes all: Yes, I need more clothes. It's not my fault my clothes keep ripping. *wink wink*. Oh, I'm not supposed to be here? Silly me, I'm hopeless without Athena's wisdom now! Look at the cute birdie, little wolf! *slips a message onto them while his son's buried under feathers*

Athena is very proud of her master liar.

Bonus:

Hector & Ody ironically become good friends because they're both dads and loving husbands. Hector tells himself he will NOT get attached to the man who's singlehandedly screwed him, his family & Troy over......only to pat the guy's back as he sobs for the nth time over missing his wife. It's hard not to empathize with him & feel a little sorry for the kid who doesn't even remember his mom.

And maybe when Hector senses that the end is coming, he & Andromache ask Ody to take Astyanax with him. He won't have a future in Troy, but it's better than no future, period.

Thus, Penelope returns to Ithaca with her family one member bigger than before.

This is amazing and I love it so much???? My mind is just ✨✨✨ This is truly galaxy brain. I love it. They are so stupid sweet 😭

Varda and Manwë, kiss #18 as an encouragement. Pretty please 🥺

AN: Always and gladly!🤍

Prompt: Kiss as encouragement (prompt list here) Pairing: Manwë x Varda Warnings: /

"And you are sure I can help you with this?" 

Manwë sat on her palm, looking up at his wife with an uncertain and slightly sheepish expression. Varda had taken him with her into her domain once again, the vast space surrounding Arda that he had left behind long ago to build the world together with Ulmo, Aulë, Yavanna and all the others; she had told him that she wanted to shape more stars and that he could help. 

Yet now that they were out here, where everything was infinitely greater than within the little kingdom of Arda and where his queen showed her true glory, Manwë was uncertain. King of the Valar or not, he was a spirit of wind and air and all he had was his breath to fill the vacuum of space — breath that drifted away and dispersed as soon as it left his lips. 

"Yes, you can." Varda lifted him closer to her face and gently rubbed his chest with her index finger. "Your breath gives life to the creatures of Arda and it shall give life to my stars as well. I may kindle them, but after all they are made of matter too."

Manwë nodded. It made sense, though he still wasn't entirely sure how he would fulfil such a task and if his queen would be satisfied with his efforts.

Varda sensed his nervousness. "Worry not, my love." 

She leaned in to kiss him, gently pushing her lips against his smaller fána — or rather, his smaller fána against her lips. Manwë felt the urge to simply melt against her, to dissolve into air and wrap himself around her like a warm blanket against the cold of space. Not yet, he reminded himself. Duty came first. 

"All you need to do is breathe, just like you are used to," Varda explained. "I shall collect it and form a cloud, until its size and weight is sufficient to ignite."

Manwë spread his arms and wings to lean against her fully, lovingly pecking her starry skin. "I will try my best," he promised. 

Thanks for reading! ♡

If you want to see big Varda with small Manwë look at this cute art I got from @the-red-butterfly!

The day dick was born was the first warm day of spring. Mary’s labour finished right around dawn and the first thing she heard just before dick started crying was the birds morning song.
