I love garlic bread.

That should be a hint.

Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.

I'm trying to prove something.

Malleus seeing this scene when he's not allowed to say it because he's not Lilia's son, legally speaking:

LET MY BOY SAY I LOVE YOU LILIA! THANK YOU FOR RAISING ME!

It's funny to see people say this about Gaiman now when they spent years doing it to JKR without shame...

Give me a Percy Jackson who hates swim team. Who went to a public pool for swim lessons once when he was five and started to sob the second his skin hit the water

give me a Percy Jackson who is always just the slightest bit unsettled at pools because water is never meant to have the life sucked out of it and be divided into lanes or put in boxes in the ground

Water isn’t meant to be contained.

a percy jackson whose skin feels like it’s slowly beginning to burn when he tries to swim in chlorinated water, who hates any set swim stroke with a passion and can’t stick to one for the life of him

who doesn’t understand why you’d want to keep only to the surface of the water, when being cradled under the surface is everything

because swimming is supposed to be like the tides, maybe patterned, but never identical, it’s supposed to be flowing with the world around you as you please

Give me a Percy Jackson who loves the sheer nature of water so much that he can’t help but quietly despise our “pools” and their dead water with their constricted sides and restrictions on what it means to change with the world around you

A Percy Jackson who is the child of water in its most natural state, and who can hardly bear to see the way society has attempted to contain it and sterilize it and strip away its power

He hates swim team, but that’s only the half of it

OK that's a super hard question, but I like 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12, and 13 the best. There are no favorites. I do a few LEEAST favorites. Those would be 1, 6, 7, 14, and 15,

What makes Winter Turning the best? I always found his internal self to be really depressing and after a while the whole "Oh it's my fault Hailstorm's gone and I deserve to be punished and Oh, why am I in love with Moon, I'm supposed to hate her. Other IceWings would never fall for a nightwing, you're such a bad IceWing." got super boring. Plus the plot was just super random. Kinda wish it stayed with the prophecy more.

Not saying you can't enjoy or like the book, by all means, do that. I'm just trying to get a better perspective, I guess.

reblog if it's okay for your mutuals to message you and create an actual friendship, not just interactions

[gay-witches-are-the-best]

It seems that a lot of us in keepblr are sick right now. so

Reblog this if you are sick, ill, injured, or anything along those lines.

every day i get hit with the agonising urge to post about my novel while not wanting to be an annoying person who posts about their novel

[huginsmemory]

As someone whose asexual and a monsterfucker and knowing that there is a large subsection of the monsterfucking community that is Ace or on that spectrum, Ford being very Ace-coded and implied to have fucked a a triangle feels accurate to me. representative, even.

it’s been almost a year now… is the bg3 fandom finally ready to talk about how gale’s “hubris” is the sole product of actively feeding his insecurities further and straight up denying him help & guidance when he was at his lowest and needed it most. it’s not one of his core traits and never was. he isn’t some closeted power hungry monster that is just waiting to be enabled. what he wants is admiration, recognition and acceptance. which is also what he sought from mystra before the orb disaster happened. he had no desire whatsoever to become a god himself or challenge her rule, he simply wanted to be seen as sufficient in her eyes (“to serve her better”). to be as equal as he could possibly be in a relationship with a literal deity. he has a deep passion for magic and knowledge that affects almost all areas of his life and enjoys the display thereof. he wants to be the smartest person in the room and enjoys when his work is recognized. he may be perceived as arrogant when it comes to his skill, but he IS NOT hubristic. it truly takes so little for him to be wholly content.

I feel like we really lost something when we started looking at writing as a reader-centric product meant to appeal to the desires of a specific audience rather than a writer-centric approach of someone writes whatever particular thing particular compels them/whatever weird thing the demons in their head want to talk about, and people out there who are also compelled, and/or relate, find that writing. A lot of discussions of writing really center around what readers want rather than a writer's exploration. Sometimes as a reader I don't know what I want. I click on a fic or pick up a book I'm not sure about but that looks interesting, and I love it. Reading what I expect to get is it's own joy, but we always need to expand our horizons and not get mad at creators for not always writing what we want/expect.

"Characters get haunted by visions of past selves that met a demise in a previous danger they faced" wasn't on my decade's bingo card, but I'm not complaining!

[gay-witches-are-the-best]

one of those polls but funnier
