#but my god do I love to talk about it

[bookwyrminspiration]

Just started reading your au and it’s like you’ve extracted everything I adore about Sophie Foster and dumped it on the page. 100/10 will cry again.

Also, this may seem like a strange compliment, but I really like your adherence to canon?? Like obviously it diverges in a big way, but the main themes, the character dynamics, the politics, the worldbuilding - it’s all there. It really feels like you understand Shannon’s world and considering fandom’s tendency to blatantly ignore canon it makes me happy.

Overall very good so far very good writing thank you

Oh my gosh hello! I saw your comment on ao3, just haven't responded to it yet, but I'm so pleased to hear you're enjoying it :)

If I make you cry/emotional please do let me know what it was I love to look back at the au and talk about it and see what got to people. Sometimes people will tell me lines they particularly enjoyed and it always makes my day

And not a strange compliment at all! It's something I did intentionally, as I happen to prefer canon-compliance. Fics that do what they want can be fun, but i'm here in the fandom because I enjoyed the source material we all read, so I like to stick with it. Of course, the wings au does take a big turn, but everything was built off of what Shannon gave us and is actually plausible in canon based on the rules and set up she provided (prior to stellarlune, that is)! Which I think is super fun. Kinda an interesting way to write an au, where it's not actually an alternate universe at all but instead the original universe as it was if it just went a little to the left

Nothing against all my mutuals who like to ignore canon, I'm just not that kind of person, so I'm thrilled to know you like how I've written it! I get nervous about it sometimes because it doesn't feel like it fits with the typical fics you see, but it's the most genuine to me and what I wanted, and it's so satisfying to share that.

I'm both ecstatic and apprehensive to see what you think of the rest of the fic (or however much you read of it), as I think my writing got better over the course of the year and a half it took to write? So hopefully it only goes up from here! Thank you so much for reading and giving me a chance to talk about it, because I could talk about the wings au for hours :)

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship

My brainrot today is thinking about just how incredible for a character Eowyn is.

Genuinely. The series might not have many female characters but the ones we do get go so fucking hard.

To me, Eowyn is literally the definition of defining being a woman for oneself. She rejects the roles she is given despite acknlowdging the importance and its mostly because she knows part of the reason is that she is a woman.

The reason why she is obsessed with Aragorn isn't because she loves him but because she wants what he has. She wants the freedom and courage and bravery that Aragorn has at every turn. She literally has multiple conversations during the Two Towers about how what she fears most is a cage. All this girl wants is the freedom to be and not be forced into a role. The best thing is that she literally gets that.

The segment of Return of the King about Eowyn and Faramir is literally about her piecing together what she truly wants. She doesn't want Aragorn. She wants freedom and the ability to choose. Faramir does nothing but encourage that in her. Their love story is literally one of the healthiest love stories I've seen in a long time because at the heart of it, their love is a place to return home to for both parties. Both go off to lead and help their people for a considerable amount of time before returning to each other but that does not diminish their bond. Even Faramir, I believe, falls in love with her bravery and dedication to her loved ones. The reason she went to Pelenor Fields and Gondor with the troops of Rohan was because she had things she wanted to fight for. She wanted to fight for herself, her people, and her loved ones. She is the one who protects Theoden after he is killed so that his body gets the treatment it deserves. She encourages Merry and helps him go to the battle because she sees her struggle in Merry. They feel helpless standing around when there are things to be doing.

Let's also not forget the fact that she was around Grima Wormtounge just as much as the King was. She was exposed to the same poison and awful words that eroded the king. It's even implied that her care for him is part of the reason why Theoden was savable when Gandalf showed up. She had the same power and bravery as everyone else even if she didn't see it in herself.

Then at the end of the day, SHE decides where she wants to go and what path she wants to walk. She walked the path of a warrior. The path of a princess/ruler. The path of a caretaker. But in the end she decides which elements truly mean something to her outside of gender definitions. That is what makes her character so incredible to me. In this she literally kills one of the biggest enemies in that battle with such a badass line.

Hello I am back with more Viva Piñata doodles! Turns out if you think enough about fluffy piñatas you can force your way through art block (at least for a while)

The typical Viva Piñata experience, I love you Pretztail but why are you like this I drew so many Pretztail as a "do over" of my first Viva Piñata drawing from 2018

that's when it all started
