#but only for ten seconds

AU where Jestro dies for ten seconds upon being electrified. Monstrox, of course, is more perplexed by the fact he suddenly came back to life without any input than the fact he unwittingly killed him.

Bonus flats of the first image:

rival battle ⚔️

merlin told arthur his favorite color was the color of the sky during sunset when it shifted into a deep violet. arthur gets a tunic made in that exact shade. its the best thing merlin owns. arthur was hoping that would mean he’d wear it almost everyday but merlin almost never wears it. the only time he does wear it is when royals come to visit (which isn’t all that often). arthur “subtly” asks about it and merlin is like “it’s the best thing i own. i’m not gonna dirty it mucking out the stables or serving rowdy knights wine while they splatter food on it” and arthur is like “why not wear it when nobles come to visit? look at least a little presentable for them” (cough nice save). merlin doesn’t see the point in it bc nobles don’t care about him at best, view him as less than human at worst.

arthur really just wants to see his boyfriend servant in the tunic he had made for him (bonus points for sending a message that merlin is his. not that merlin seems to notice. man is too much of an idiot). merlin wants to preserve his favorite tunic and gift from his boyfriend king.

Recently rewatched s1e4 and I'm just so struck anew by those intense few seconds where Ed's pressuring Stede to come up with a plan.

Because, on the surface, this just doesn't feel like something Ed would typically do. He is usually so, so gentle and supportive of Stede, encouraging him and seeing his worth as a man and a pirate when others don't. He never mocks him or implies he's lesser even at times when Stede just very clearly doesn't know what he's doing or is in over his head.

This moment really feels like a release valve, the only way Ed can think of to relieve all this frustration that's been building up. "This is what it's like," he says, when Izzy starts yelling at Stede and suggesting a stupid-ass alternate plan that will DEFINITELY get everyone killed. "They're all gonna die, all the men who trusted you, and it's going to be all your fault!"

It really reveals a lot about what Ed considers his biggest stressors. He needs to have a plan, all the time, because no one else is going to do it, and if he doesn't have one, Izzy's the loudest and will make everyone do something guaranteed to end in disaster. And Ed cares so much about the people under his command, knowing that if they die, that reflects on him. It's an incredible amount of pressure that revolves entirely around Ed being 100% perfect, all on his own, and he just wants anyone to understand what that's like, even for ten seconds.

Happy Birthday to Ferdinand von Aegir!

I actually made 33 emotes, affectionately known as Aegirglyphics to some, for my own personal use on discord. However, I figure why not share some of them! They're free to use for discord servers/icons/pfps or whatever. However, my only request is Do NOT use them as subscriber emotes on Twitch. You can make them free follower emotes but you are not to make them locked behind a paywall.

Day 31: Fungus

the moment you realise that you're in a bad end: when even the god of death isn't immune

and with that, cotltober is finished! had to end it on an actual horror note lmao

[see-arcane]

So you're implying you're gonna show what Jonathan was doing while Dracula was sailing all July?

Yup. Harker will be a full novel of nothing but Jonathan Harker's side of the Dracula story. Not first person POV, but a semi-limited third person from start to finish (with flints of background in-between). Which includes just what kind of survival/supernatural horrors he got up to after Spider-Manning his ass out of the castle.

As an aside, I am currently at...

...and we still haven't met the Weird Sisters yet.

I am here to put some goddang meat on my good friend Jonathan Harker's narrative bones after 126+ years of being sidelined and bastardized by every writer and filmmaker to ever bullshit a spinoff out of the book HE opened and closed. If that means giving him a cinderblock's worth of Horrors to chip through (while becoming the Horrors) so be it.

Deleted Scripty Bits that Drive Me Wild

Crozier's hands are shackled. He walks behind Armitage, Manson, Des Voeux, Golding, and Hodgson. He's been beaten. Manson drags Hartnell's uncovered corpse on a small sled beside him. Hartnell’s arm has come loose and his hand drags on the ground alongside the sled, becoming frayed. ... Hodgson finally sees Hartnell’s hand and steps over to put it right. He sees Crozier watching him. Crozier: What do you have so say for yourself, George Hodgson?

Writing out my preferred way the battle at Rook's Rest should have gone because why not.

The beginning mostly stays the same. Criston signals for Aemond and Vhagar, but Sunfyre arrives first. Aemond sees him fly overhead and is pissed, but he doesn't wait to follow him into battle because he's not an idiot and as much as he wants the crown, he's aware of the intensity of the blow losing Aegon would be to their cause.

Still, Vhagar is slow and has to launch herself off the ground, so Aegon gets their first and has an initial fight with Meleys but Vhagar's quick arrival keeps Sunfyre's injuries from being quite so intense. The two of them attack Meleys side by side, but due to her speed and Rhaenys's expertise, she manages to keep evading them with fairly light damage.

Meleys takes off high into the clouds and Aemond and Aegon follow her. No one can see them from below. Aegon urges Sunfyre to engage directly with Meleys and the two dragons become locked together. Instead of intervening this time, Aemond simply watches as Sunfyre is injured and Aegon cries out for his help. Aemond only watches.

We can see the anger in his eyes. It would be so easy to allow Meleys to kill Aegon and Sunfyre. He could say he did his best, but that Aegon refused to battle carefully. He would be honored after he died and Aemond would become king. Aegon doesn't notice the inaction, too focused on saving Sunfyre and himself. In a desperate move, Aegon unclips one of his restraints to grab the dagger at his side and drives it into Meleys's eye as Rhaenys screams in shock and fury.

Meleys wails and lets go of Sunfyre, dropping out of view. Aegon is triumphant and turns to his brother with a smile. Aemond isn't smiling. We watch as he follows Meleys's descent and decides he's safe for now. He returns his attention to Aegon. It would be so easy to do the deed himself and blame Meleys. He contemplates it only for a split second, but Aegon's face goes from smiling to horror. We think he's understood what Aemond plans to do, but in fact, his eyes are fixed on a sight behind him. Meleys has darted up from behind, mouth open and poised to burn Aemond in his saddle.

Aegon doesn't hesitate. He urges Sunfyre forward and as Meleys breathes out a wall of fire, he throws himself and Sunfyre in front of it to protect Aemond from the blast. Before Aemond can react, Meleys sinks her claws into Sunfyre's chest and pulls him out of sight.

Aemond pursues, but it's too late. Meleys has bit into Sunfyre's wing and Aegon can barely stay in the saddle with his one remaining restraint. Meleys rips her head back breaking off part of Sunfyre's wing and the king and his dragon fall through the air, landing in the forest.

Similarly to the show, Aemond is able to defeat Rhaenys and Meleys on his own after Aegon's fall.

Later on, we learn the only reason Aegon was able to survive was the one remaining restraint held him to the saddle but allowed him to slide off to the side enough to evade some of the dragonfire. He's still burned and in pain. He sacrificed himself for his brother and Aemond can't betray him now. Not when he owes his brother a life debt, not when he's seen how deeply Aegon loves him. He becomes Prince Regent and reconciles himself to forever protecting his brother from this point forward.
