[wanologic]

just wanna say, most collateral damage stuff is documented like this, really rough sketches and ideas that are all over the place. Heres some pages where I was working on how violet got where she is. Not sure how much I'm keeping, but I do really like the idea that she killed pets specifically as a teen. She liked watching people mourn and miss them, the emotional violence being just as satisfying as the physical violence for her.

And here's some Asanti/Elias sketches - I always knew that I wanted Asanti's anti-magic to be talisman based, but like, not magic circles/cryptic writing or anything, just making marks with intention. Semi-recently I had the thought that she should make handmade crafts and have a collection of paint markers and scrap paper as her main mediums. Maybe she has an online shop that supplements income and helps her find clients.

What’s a fic trope, plot bunny, or character variation that you want someone to write for Rumbelle, but no one ever has?

okay I've been sitting on this for a while bc as soon as I saw this question, I completely forgot what rumbelle fics I wanted to read haha but now I think I have my answers:

Adventurer Belle continues to travel with Mulan and Philip as they try to find Aurora. Belle and Rumple keep on almost crossing paths until they finally bump into each other in some way? Idk I just want more of Belle having adventures with Mulan and Philip, and Rumple eventually seeing her in that outfit haha

Gold and amnesiac!Belle from the beginning of the Lacey episode get to know each other and fall in love all over again. There is that line about them helping each other and that soft look between them that I would really love to see explored

On the flip side, Lacey and Gold terrorize the town after the Lacey episode. I know that there are lots of Golden Lace fics but I don't think there are any of Golden Lace getting up to shenanigans around town. I am specifically thinking about that scene of them threatening Whale. Just more of them getting drunk, having lots of sex in the pawnshop, and terrorizing the town. Added bonus if there is exploration of Lacey's line of "Could you keep me young?...Cause then we can be together forever." Like what if Gold actually did that?? And what would be the consequences??? Though I guess that could be its own fic haha

Detectives AU - I just really want to read a fic about Belle and Ariel having their own detective agency and then Rumple is either a client or a rival detective that they have to work together with on a case Thanks for the ask! It was really fun to revisit fic ideas that I've had in my mind for a while (but momentarily forgot about haha). If there are any fics like these or if anyone writes one, please let me know! I would love to read them :)

Across the table, Kenobi went still, his hands around his teacup. His eyes had taken on an edge – something flat and hard and glittering.

“Ben,” he said.

Hondo cocked his head to the side.

“Ben Kenobi,” repeated Kenobi. “I’ve never heard of an Obi-Wan, and neither have you.”

Hondo wagged his finger and chuckled. “I beg to differ, my friend! I heard quite a bit about an Obi-Wan Kenobi a few years ago!”

“I think you’ll find,” said Kenobi, evenly, “that you didn’t.”

Something else had entered the room with them, despite Kenobi’s placid tone – an air of threat, of danger, swirling like dust motes in the space between their heads over the table. Exhaled like poison on Kenobi’s breath. Hondo’s own breath caught at the threat of it – the knowledge that, though he was safer in this moment than he had been since landing on the planet, he was also in more danger.

So, of course, he kept pushing.

The great thing about writing fanfic is that your weird crack doesn't have to be that good for you to decide that it can go out into the world. Enjoy this weird idea that @thevillainsmustache and I laughed about a lot!

Königs Name

I think at some point everyone questioned why König has this callsign.

@stashoflostsouls had some great thoughts about the callsign being the shorter version of "Hochkönig" a reference to his height and nationality with Hochkönig being the tallest mountain from a mountain group with the same name in the Berchtesgadener Alpen in Austria.

I would like to add something I haven't seen anywhere yet (if someone did say it already please tell me) and has been on my mind these past few days.

What if it's his real last name?

Yeah, it's not necessarily common last name but there are still quite a few people with that name.

"Den Namen König tragen in Deutschland etwa 93.290 Personen (errechnet aus 33.318 Telefonanschlüssen)." Eng.: "About 93.290 people in Germany have the (last) name König (calculated from about 33.318 phone lines)."

This is an exerpt from namensforschung.net (the site is entirely in german).

The site also has another page dedicated about the surname König in the Digitales Familiennamenwörterbuch Deutschland (eng.: Digital Surname Dictionary Germany), short DFD, from 01.03.2023 which is also entirely in german (it's being updated) but lists following as a possible origin meaning behind the name;

"...für jemanden, der durch besondere Leistungen (Schützenkönig) oder sein Verhalten (vornehm, königlich, herrisch) aus seiner Umgebung hervorragt bzw. der im Dienst eines Königs steht. Es kann auch ein (Laien-)Darsteller gemeint sein, der im Volksschauspiel einen König verkörpert." Eng.: "...for someone who stands out from his enviroment or who is in the service of the king, due to special achievements (i.e. marksman champion) or his behaviour (noble, kingly, imperious). It can also mean an actor who embodies the king in a folksplay."

Same name meaning origin can be found on Forebears.io which also shows a name distribution map with data from 2014.

An article (also entirely in german) in the online newsletter WELT from 2005 states that about 80.000 people have König as a surname in Germany.

It also states the meaning behind König as a last name was originally for it to be a Neckname which is a german way to say it's a teasing/ mocking nickname.

Long story short; König could be his last name and since it is neither a common nor an uncommon surname I don't think there would have been a lot with it in the military which could make it a recognizable name. Which could lead to it being his callsign.

why am i so tried toady.

[quicksilversquared]

Love that two of my roommates have people over this weekend, which means more cars around, which means that I have been blocked in the driveway and can't do my grocery shopping. Also someone made a mess of the laundry room this past week (I sincerely hope the weed smell that I was catching on my clothes coming out of the washing machine doesn't stick around, otherwise I will be doing endless washes until it gets the fuck out) and I think we're going to need to use a vacuum cleaner to get all of the pebbles (?????) out of the lint trap, because it is hella messy.

A Night Like This: What do you and your f/o fundamentally disagree on, and can’t find any sort of middle ground for?

Hiii Meadow!

A Night Like This

There are plenty of things we disagree on (for example, my Slytherin friends, aka you…) but one thing I’ve been thinking lately as I had read the books is that Kreacher is by far the best house elf (Idc about dobby sorry) and has a great arc. I can see myself kinda siding with Hermione a little bit thought not as passionately as her. I am obviously gonna see slavery as fucked up. And Sirius literally just cannot comprehend this especially given u know how Kreacher is,,, I do not think Sirius’ treatment of him is something we will ever see eye to eye on. Plus my blood status means there will inevitably be many awkward moments with Kreacher yikes
