Daaani, do you have any snippet of Lance and Theia? I miss our snarky boy and his warrior princess

“This is literally my worst nightmare,” Lance groaned into his hands. “First they invade my home and now they’re throwing a party.”

“It’s quite common for institutes to host balls and throw parties,” Theia tells him gently. 

Lance looks up and glares at her. “If you’re a good girlfriend, you’ll help me sabotage this.”

“If you’re a good boyfriend, you’d be my date to the party so I can show you off to everyone,” Theia counters. 

“Show me off to whom?” Lance snorts. “They all hate me.”

“I heard from Cami that the vampires from Paris are attending,” Theia whispers in his ear. “I heard they’re all very excited to meet you.”

“There’s gonna be a fucking meet-and-greet?” Lance shouts, pushing Theia away. “PAPA!”

Vanilla Swirl Cookie Blackbane Cookie: Guardian of Memory Beast of Secrecy, also known as the Blightmother

"ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves, false saint."

Little is known on the status of Blackbane Cookie, the most ruthless of the neobeasts. She seems to spend most of her time dwelling in the thickest reaches of what was once known as the Faerie Kingdom of Thorns, and now known as the Blightwoods; a hostile forest teeming with Cookiesnaps, Venus Crumbtraps, and all sorts of Cookie-eating flora slowly spreading across Beast-Yeast. We think. All our research parties that enter never return.

Additionally, there have been a recent spike of Faerie Cookie disappearances, all of which have had at least some ties to the Kingdom of Thorns. Rumour has it that these cookies were transformed into savage beasts on their own volition, capable of ripping a cookie to crumbs. Lets hope, no pray that its just a rumour though...

Cheese Cinder Cookie Volcanic Cheese Cookie: Guardian of Growth Beast of Hunger, also known as The Great Devourer

yes that is a ninjago ref

Having joined forces with Celestial Cheese Cookie, Volcanic Cheese Cookie has become a furnace powering Celestial Cheese Cookie's conquest. but like all furnaces, he needs to consume, and consume he does, getting stronger every time he sets something ablaze. But occasional shows of strength to instill fear into the common people is not enough. He needs more. MORE. MORE. And what better way to get fuel than to become a method of execution for those refusing to submit? The crispier the better! No matter what or even if it leaves a stain on his conscience, he must do what it takes to survive.

Crystallized Raspberry Cookie: Guardian of Courage Beast of Fear, Dragonberry Gladiator Champion and respected general.

A general with an Iron Fist (literally. its where her spirit jelly is housed), Crystallized Raspberry Cookie is the very model of a proper commander and executioner under Dragonberry Cookie. Having unfortunately grown a bit of a sadistic side under the neobeast, Crystallized Raspberry Cookie has taken delight being thrown into whatever match is going on in the arena, instilling a terror into the combatants and a thrill in the audience.

Bitter Bean Cookie: Guardian of Honor, Last Guardian, and White Dragon Knight.

last seen outside the gates of Frigid Cacao's Black Citadel right before the dissappearance of the strawberry jam sword, Bitter Bean Cookie supposedly now carries the burden of preventing Strawberry Jam Cookie from wreaking havoc all over earthbread (well... more havoc than what has already been wreaked) as the singular trail of tracks quickly lost to the snow lead him to the most silent region of beast-yeast in preparation of what to do next, trying to stay strong in the face of Strawberry Jam Cookie's temptations of revenge, power, and sometimes even relief.

Strawberry Jam Cookie: Beast of Hatred, Spirit of the Strawberry Jam Chocoblade, First Fallen.

for goodness sake let me take the suffering from you /ref

Still stuck in the damn sword. at least he's now a travelling companion to bitter bean, attempting to distract him with words of revenge, apathy, etc. but to no avail, Bitter Bean Cookie's always been a stick in the mud. Phooey.

might make this an actual fic?

- chapter 46, Words of Radiance

This part made me smile for the obvious reasons. It’s the response to this part. But that bit at the end where Rlain was going to say something … (SPOILERS from here on!) He was probably about to confess to Kaladin that he was a spy for the Listeners. And being a spy can mess with your personal loyalties; it’s hard when you relate to the people who had been enemies.

That’s relevant in this chapter, because Kaladin goes to a meeting with people trying to assassinate one of his charges, and … they have fair points too. Now Kaladin is caught in a problem. What’s the right thing to do? To where does his loyalty go? It’s not even as easy as just taking Elhokar out—it would still be betraying Dalinar as well, even if the intentions are good. The real sticking point is that his friend is one of the spies/assassins. That’s someone he helped and also wanted to keep safe. And Kaladin … well, he has a REALLY hard time letting go, and he’s caught between two attachments here. He doesn’t know it, but he’s in a similar situation as Rlain is.

Moash is using the group as an opportunity. He agrees with their point about Dalinar, but that’s secondary to him. He just wants Elhokar dead. I can’t blame him, and it must hurt having to protect the guy who thought nothing of his grandparents. This, folks, is what we call a conflict of interest; he shouldn’t even be this close to Elhokar. He’s trying to make the idea appeal to Kaladin by putting the savior spin on it; “you can help people this way, so it works out” kind of thing. The thing is, Kaladin only really kills immediate threats to his charges. He doesn’t really do the premeditated stuff.* He’s a defender, not an aggressor. As Syl said before, he’s a Windrunner, not a Skybreaker. And he doesn’t have a taste for duplicity. That’s Shallan’s territory.

It’s kinda cute how Kaladin’s conundrum with this is in the Shallan-focused book. One could objectively consider her actions of killing her father a betrayal. She’s 100% justified in it, IMO, but it was difficult for her to do. And she felt she had to because he was an immediate threat to those she loved, and there was no changing that; he only got worse over time.

*He came close in The Way of Kings when he was being transported to the Shattered Plains. He carried that blackbane leaf with him for a while, but never got around to actually using it.

Man syl's gesture of getting Kaladin the blackbane always hits me like a sack of bricks it's so Ernest and naive and just AAAAAA!

"The wind gathered suddenly, blowing dust, crumbs, and dirt out of the wagon and into the night."

-TWOK, Ch. 2 Honor is Dead.

This is the last page of the 2nd Kaldin chapter, and the first from his pov, and all of a sudden I'm wondering if that was the Wind blowing away the blackbane leaves/poison, not Syl who was introduced (sans name) this chapter.

Xander Kitamura 🔥

One of the main characters from my comic in the works ‘New Wolf’. He’s a 14 year old half kitsune, half lycan. His main ability is foxfire, while his lycan half gives him to ability to heal much faster. He has the more outgoing personality and tends to be considered a bit of a hothead, but is fiercely loyal to those he cares about. Xander’s parents decided to go with his mother’s last name for him rather than his father’s, William, since his dad didn’t really consider himself a Blackbane anymore. Because of that, they decided to give him an English first name to represent his British side; He’s full name is Alexander.

Romantasy Readers of Tumblr: Lend Me Your Power

A very dear friend of mine (who doesn't follow this account so I'm hoping she doesn't find this post) is finally publishing her first novel and me, being me, is trying to help get the word out to help get her some more arc readers. I figured here would be as good as anywhere to post it, but even if you just reblog I really want to surprise her with new signups.

Blurb:

What if your fate lies hidden within the secrets of the past?

Gwen Thorncrest, heir to the throne of Tavia, has always known her fate. But as her father’s health fades, she’s thrust into a role she fears she may not be ready for. Amidst her grief, Gwen must navigate danger, betrayal, and political scheming as she claims the throne that is rightfully hers. To fulfill her destiny, she must journey across Tavia to the Misty Mountains, where she must conquer her doubts and safeguard an ancient secret she is blood sworn to protect.

Tyreal Blackbane, a commoner sworn to protect Gwen since childhood, harbors a secret of his own—a forbidden love for his future queen. As new threats emerge from those who view a woman’s ascension to the throne as a threat, Tyreal must confront his own destiny. His unwavering loyalty and hidden feelings put him on a collision course with his heart and duty.

Together, they must face an ever evolving and intertwining fate as she inherits a kingdom, and he inherits something he never expected. Can they protect the people of Tavia and each other—while concealing their deepest secrets?

Night of the Living Dans

A 2022 Canada Day Special/horror comedy themes.

Warning: The following story has horror elements, transformation into a supernatural version of Dan Aykroyd and some really dark elements.

--------------------------------------------------------

July 1st, also known as Canada Day…out of all the holidays to get the horror movie treatment, you wouldn’t expect it to be Canada Day, then again you obviously haven’t heard the story of what happened several years ago. Several years ago there was this writer who spoke of an Aykroyd inspired serial killer who possessed people, he saw it with his very own eyes yet the people of the city thought he was insane. That author’s name was Ian Blackbane, a Stephen King-esque writer who specialized in horror stories. He had foretold that the killer would come back to find new victims. Now on July 1st 2022, there had been reports of a series of deaths throughout the city of Oakendale.

And he knew the killer had something to do with it, but nobody believed him so he went to ask Werebelushi In The Shades for help. ‘Can I ask for your assistance Mr Werebelushi, sir?’ ‘As long as you don’t want to bang me, i’m fine with anything.’ ‘Do you know about the Canada Day Slasher?’ ‘That guy that guys around every Canada Day terrorizing people?’ ‘Yeah, well I said he’d come back for revenge on the people that called him a weirdo and now he’s back.’

Matthias/Werebelushi knew of this story, he knew that the killer was a Dan Aykroyd fan with supernatural powers who got bullied for being weird and every two years he’d go on a revenge spree, making sure those who called him weird would pay the ultimate price. ‘I knew it, I knew you definitely weren’t crazy.’ ‘Finally, someone who believes me.’ ‘I always did believe you, it’s Stephanie and her boyfriend that thought you were crazy. It is pretty hypocritical of her mind considering she got turned into a werewolf once and all.’

The both of them looked out the window and they saw a group of Dan Aykroyd characters…’This must be one of his powers.’ ‘Indeed it is.’ The Aykroyd characters including Pa Tex, Grocer, Elwood Blues, Austin Milbarge, Beldar and multiple Dan Aykroyds in general were running around throughout the city. Stephanie Haddingham was on her tumblr blog reblogging one of Nathan’s posts when she heard the news of what was happening…’21 Dans? Tumblr must have put the limit back again. I don’t normally reblog from that…thing but it’s bad enough that weirdo has all the Dan Aykroyd tags.’

“Who are you calling a weirdo?”

She looked over and screamed as she saw The Canada Day Slasher teleport right in front of her…’You, but…but I thought.’ ‘You thought what? That I had been killed off in the last movie? Oh no…i’m back, and so are all my boys, happy Canada Day. By the way, did I mention you were the one who did this to me? You called me a weirdo all these years ago and now you and your lover shall pay the price.’

“This has to be some kind of special effect stunt show or something.”

“Oh no…it’s very real.”

The slasher looked over at Stephanie as she attempted to ward him off, but of course this slasher knew just how predictable she was and he grabbed her. ‘Yes, what better way to teach you a lesson than to take control of you and make you regret calling me a weirdo.’ She dreaded what this would be but before she could do anything, he took on a spectral form and dove down her mouth and entered her throat, possessing her in the process.

Thomas Sheppard (her lover) looked over and shouted…’Whatever you plan on doing to her, stop it right now, you monster.’ ‘But don’t you want to see the fun that will unfold?’ He panicked for a bit as he saw Stephanie holding her stomach in pain as it gurgled loudly as if she had eaten something particularly nasty. He reached over to comfort her only to be met with horror when he saw her hands growing.

“What’s going on? What’s happening to you?”

“I don’t know but this doesn’t feel good.”

Stephanie watched as her hands enlarged and hairs grew on them, while her fingernails shortened for a while but then lengthened a little, looking a bit sharper than normal. In addition to this her torso and chest broadened while her breasts retracted, brownish hairs like the ones on her hands were growing on her chest while her stomach broadened, growing some hairs on it, her shirt’s buttons popped right off in the process.

She gasped as her back broadened and her arms broadened, along with her legs as her feet enlarged, bursting through her socks as two of the toes on both feet merged at the knuckle and gave her the appearance of having webbed toes, she moaned as her rear plumped up and her privates altered into the more masculine variant. At this point even the comment that she made on her reblog on her blog changed, changing to…’And I for one welcome our Aykroydian overlords’.

“Please stop, i’m sorry, i’ll never make fun of you again.”

“You should have apologized before but now it’s too late.”

There were several disconcerting sounds of cracks, groans and snaps as she elevated in height to 6’1 and her shoulders broadened, tears ran down her face as she tried to resist but ultimately..decided ‘screw it, I deserved this’ as her neckline altered and her hair darkened, her brow altering as her eyebrows thickened. Her eyes widened, one turning from brown to green and in the process her nose broadened as a cleft materialized in the middle of it.

Her features slowly contorted as her skin matured, her face taking on the appearance of Dan Aykroyd as her voice deepened and contorted to match, which meant she had Dan’s voice, a couple of seconds later her personality and mind altered as she or rather ‘he’ remembered he was Dan, a Were-Aykroyd who defended his other half. ‘Ah much better.’

Matthias/Werebelushi and Ian rushed over to where he was and didn’t expect to see him there hence why they were surprised. ‘Dan? You did this?’ ‘Why yes I did, poor Nathan was being attacked and being the caring were-aykroyd I am, I decided to become a slasher to teach her a lesson. And now everything’s better.’ ‘Yeah, she was kind of annoying anyway. Glad she’s gone, don’t need her in this episode anymore.’

“However…I am not finished yet.”

“What do you mean by that?”

‘Well you know, how about you…join us?”

The Aykroyd characters from earlier emerged and circled around the duo, Werebelushi fought some of them off but eventually they kept getting back up. That’s when he decided to run into his apartment and shut all the doors and windows and barricaded the door, he knew what was to come next. This naturally didn’t stop Grocer though. ‘Open up, we’ve got a surprise for you.’ ‘Oh no you don’t.’

“I like playing with you and all but now it’s time for you to let us in.”

“Never…”

Grocer shot a few shots from his pistol into the wall and hacked through the wall of Matthias’s door and popped his head through it…’Heeeeeere’s Grocer!’. He panicked as he attempted to hit Grocer but the other Aykroyd characters also broke in. ‘And now it’s time for the inevitable end of this episode.’ ‘Of course…you want me to join you, don’t you?’ ‘Oh yes.’

“I suppose if this is how it is going to be, fine.”

“Yaaaaaay.”

Dan the alpha Were-Aykroyd from earlier materialized as he was happy to see his friend was willing to become Aykroydian and he gave his friend a hug which transferred his Aykroydian powers into Matthias through his body, which in turn turned Matthias from a Werebelushi into a Were-Aykroyd just like Dan but he didn’t mind it at all. ‘This is the best Canada Day special ever.’ ‘It certainly is.’

Matthias had to admit that looking and sounding like Dan Aykroyd was awesome and he felt really good about himself and how the whole ordeal went down as he looked over at Dan and hugged him. ‘This isn’t so scary after-all, and being weird is awesome.’ ‘Indeed it is, welcome, we hope you like it as an Aykroyd.’ ‘Oh I certainly do.’

And thus with that we come to the moral of the story, never call anyone with supernatural powers a freak or weirdo, not even in a post or reblog, because if you do, you will end up paying the price and being the star of your very own horror story. And never ever piss off a Were-Aykroyd by going after their friends for being different.

Oh, and I almost forgot something..happy belated Canada Day.

[silvercaptain24]

Oh yeah no I had that happen in WoR with the Blackbane leaf too, I’d forgetten it existed until the Shallan arc and I was just like. Oh my heart. But I just read the post where the Stormfather explained the Heralds and. OH BUDDY NO was about all I could do as a reaction.

RIGHT?!? I actually sobbed at Snotlout, I was not expecting that, my parents had no idea what was going on and I had to explain it to them

HECK YES TO BOTH OF THESE

IM IN THE MIDDLE OF OATHBRINGER RN AND I JUST

LIKE I CAN NEVER READ THE PROLOGUE OF WOK THE SAME WAY AGAIN

Also the HTTYD books!? Oh gosh, those were a whole experience that I was not expecting to have.

I KNOW RIGHT? Same. I started HTTYD thinking it was a lighthearted, silly series full of fart jokes and funny Dragonese. I ended it crying and stabbed through the heart by an experience that compelled me to write an overarching arc as insanely impactful as that which Cressida Cowell masterfully crafted. And I started up The Way of Kings again, this time I'm finishing it for real lol, and oh my goodness I'm getting punched with foreshadow after foreshadow after foreshadow ahhhhh how dare you Brandon Sanderson /hj I have to stop reading sometimes just to stare at certain lines like "oh my goodness. You sneaked that in there, this far back? No way" Hence why they're two of my favorite authors of all time :D
