#can't wait to see where this goes

[nostalgic-shamefest]

I know the girls are fighting and all but is anybody else super excited about a potentially messy, intertwined, complicated, non YA, hopefully maturely handled, with a side of self discovery, mlm love triangle with like some of the main characters of a big ass mainstream tv show???

[theramblingvoid]

There were a few ways I predicted a horticultural show could go wrong. Murderous plants, perhaps! Escaped mandrakes forming a choir! Fungal hivemind infection!

Rocks fall everyone dies, however, was NOT one of them -

[nevaroonie]

Characters like Rachelle are amazing! the way their written are awesome to me- lol

[official-kenralie-fanbase]

after i sent you that asl i realized how much more fun it would be if Oralie was alive during this whole thing, the plot mainly focused on forkle completely losing his mind to obsession over his brother and in turn finding Josie but i’m starting to think also having it be about both girls bonding with Oralie and having Oralie build a relationship with Josie’s (the twin) mom Regaila.

another thing about Josie her is actually kinda curly, identical twins  having a slightly different hair texture can happen with identical twins i’ve seen it before.

pros of Oralie being alive

i was originally making a pros and cons list but convinced myself in the process

Sophie and Josie having opposing parallels with Josie’s genuinely trusting afterlife finding out Oralie is their bio mom while sophie hated her afterwards

the drama that would caused by Josie’s mom being a pyrokintic, who BTW doesn’t have a problem with Josie building a relationship with her bio mom because she’s not worried about Josie loving Oralie more (that’s a genuine worry that some adoptive parents have but it’s SO overused, your kid can have more than one set of parents that they love)

dramatic scenes when it’s much more obvious that she’s their bio mom and the drama that would ensue from that, people wondering if the general public will figure it out (Oralie is forced to step down?)

Josie having doubts about Oralie even caring about her because she was an accident on the black swans end (her abilities are wonky because of it) and thinking that Oralie wouldn’t have done it i’d she had know that there would be twins

i can write a bio parent bonding with their bio child the way i’ve always wanted it to be written. keeping the adoptive parents still the parents and not having the relationship with the bio parent seen as more important (it’s a pet peeve of mine i’ll save the rant for another time)

i want Fintan to be their Bio dad and Josie knows and let’s it slip, cue drama, angery bronte yelling at Josie because she should have known it would upset Oralie because of Kenric, Josie loses control of her inflicting (which is highly unstable), and says she doesn’t even know who Kenric is (she grew up in the neutral territories) and that’s a whole thing because Bronte feels bad.

Keefe Sophie Joise and Oralie confront Frokle about something (Fintan?) and he has another breakdown (he’s slowly losing it throughout this fic) and ends up attacking sophie Oralie defends her and takes all three kids back to her castle in a panic

the last scene having Oralie protecting both girls from the everblaze (it’s important to the story ALSO parallels) possibly sacrificing herself? Forkle also dies in that scene so maybe to much?

most of the people in my family are adopted while i’m not one of them i still have STRONG feelings about how adoption is written, Shannon did amazingly and i will forever adore her ability to write adoption well without having the plot centered around adoption. i would honestly want to expand on that.

Ahh YES

Just... yes to every single word

First off, Forkle losing his mind to obsession? And Oralie defending her kids? Okay YES. And then her sacrificing herself to save them from the Everblaze is also YES- and something that I really actually think might happen in the book.

This sounds amazing backwards and forwards. I LOVE the Fintan-is-Sophie's-dad theory (if anyone wants to hear it I could go into heavy detail on why I think he's the only possibility that really makes sense, but I know that's a topic that's been discussed a lot). So even if it's not canon I would love it in this AU. And Josie being a pyrokinetic? And Oralie having to deal with that after what happened with Kenric? Yes!

And I love what you said about adoption! I also love the way Shannon handled it. But since you're someone who has adopted family members I'm glad it is handled well from your perspective.

Any questions you have or things you want to work out (especially characterization/development surrounding Oralie) send them my way! I love when people talk about their AUs so anyone else that has one/any other AUs you end up having feel free to invade my inbox at any time!

This subplot of the toys is incredibly interesting, it's the premise of an horror and a lot of things can be done with it

yes akio did love arata STOP I JUST READ YOUR TAGS AND. YEAH yeah hiyuu and kei have A LOT of parallels (and i'm not just talking about their relationship with pain haha..) 😭😭 that's why i wanted to make them interact so bad..

oh also just a small correction: hiyuu doesn't really think that pain is "the only suitable punishment", but more like. he doesn't want anyone to die, but also still needs to punish them, so.. yeah, he just goes for punishments that can make people lose the ability to do stuff, for example, make them slower, make them weaker, etc, but he also says that physical punishments are "tasteless". yeah, he's more into psychological torture <3

he honestly scares me a lot because if eiji punishes everyone in such a cruel way because he wants to show that he's "stronger" or "better" than them and isn't actually as sadistic as everyone thinks he is, hiyuu is more gentle, but in a "come on, you can handle this, right? :) just tell me if it's too much. but i know you're strong enough ^^" way. sure, he will let you have a break if you need it, but you'll be in too much pain when you get one so it'll end up being useless.

Lina at the end of trial 1: There's gonna be a third guard and he's more of the morally grey type

Me: Oh cool! :D

Lina at the end of trial 2: So he's more into psychological torture

Me: 😨😨😨

This is going to be obscenely fun. Michael Stirling is my Achilles Heel. I've always pictured him as Thomas Doherty. Pairing him with Benedict is a wickedly dangerous opportunity. 😳

Shades

Warning: This is M/M so if that bothers you, don't read. First chapter is not smutty but later chapters will be.

Pairing: Benedict Bridgerton/A man you will meet 😉. Later chapters will also be Benophie

Word count: 610. This chapter is the shortest.

Author's note: This will be a mult-chapter fic. This is a short chapter just to get us started. I don't know how many chapters there will eventually be.

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

"Oh God! Will, I'm so sorry! I've made such a mess." Benedict was anxiously mopping at the whiskey splattered around him. His fingers were numb, the reason he'd dropped his glass in the first place, rendering his actions useless.

" It's alright, Benedict, really. Are you ok though? You're shaking like a leaf."

"Ben, what is going on? Is everything well, brother?" Anthony laid his hand on Benedict's shoulder to steady him, and cupped his face with the other, studying him. "I rather think you've had too much to drink, brother." He said softly. "Will, would some tea be too much bother?"

"Of course not, my Lord, coming right up." Will gave Benedict a concerned look before walking off.

Benedict knew he was not drunk and he knew Will knew he wasn't; he'd barely had three drinks. But he could not bring himself to tell Anthony, or Will, or Colin, or anybody, about the numbness in his hands. And it was starting in his toes now. That dreadful tingling he'd felt only once before. The day his father died. No one knew about that and he was terrified at what lay ahead. No, he couldn't tell anyone, so he played along with Anthony.

"You may be right, Ant. Help me up please? My feet don't seem to want to work." He giggled to play the drunk and clumsily clutched at Anthony and Colin, who had wandered over after hearing the noise.

"Really, brother, you must control yourself." Anthony admonished as they hauled him to his feet and into a chair. "We cannot have you making a fool of yourself or the family. Not with Frannie's wedding in two days. Now you sit here and sober up." Benedict nodded his obeisance and closed his eyes, trying to ignore the tingly feeling taking over his body.

"Sir. SIR! Are you well?"

Benedict gasped and shook his head. What was going on?

"I didn't mean to startle you but you are soon to fall over."

Benedict opened his bleary eyes to find himself staring into the most sparkling blue ones he'd ever seen. He couldn't find his breath so nodded and motioned for this beautiful stranger to sit.

"Are you in the habit of falling asleep in gentlemen's clubs, sir? Can't say I blame you. This groom's party is dreadfully dull. Watching you sleep seems to be the most entertaining part of this evening." His eyes held Ben's for longer than propeàr until he reached for his drink.

Benedict blushed at the attention and took a sip of his cold tea.

"My brother has lost his proclivity for the finer aspects of a good party since his marriage. He is besotted with his wife and, whilst that is beautiful , he cannot fathom why other men would want to tarry with loose women."

"Women are not always required for a rollicking good time, wouldn't you agree?"

A subtle wink caught Benedict's eye and he began breathing rapidly. How had this man sussed him out so well without even a word?

"Not required at all, I find." He licked his lips as he stared at this magnificent creature across from him.

"You mentioned your brother planned this soiree. So you must be one of the bride's numerous siblings. You do bear a slight resemblance."

Benedict guffawed at this. " A resemblance? Most people cannot tell one Bridgerton from another. I am number two, Benedict to be precise. I take it you are acquainted with the groom."

This beautiful man with the sparkling eyes crossed and knelt at Benedict's side. He took his hand and brushed a kiss across his fingers.

"Michael Stirling at your service, Mr. Bridgerton."

i rewatched the spider-verse movies so im thinking about miles atm but you have a couple posts about him and LoF so i was just wondering what would the bats opinions be on him ??

oh, they're gonna love him. peter has quite a few pupils in the future, but miles is his legacy. carrying on that spider-man name and making it his own? miles is practically his little brother in the future, his pride and joy. the Bats are older too around this time so they each have different dynamics with miles. bruce is leaning towards fully retired by the time peter is in his mid twenties (i think bruce is like 53 when peter is 25?). by the time miles comes around they're used to having students and a bunch of family so he is welcomed with open arms

Yall should go read @avatarkurukdefender's fic 'A Literal Team Avatar'

Wanted to draw some moments from the first chapter and it's been forever since I drew these characters, so it was nice to be inspired to do so again

[id: a digital illustration. The image depicts 3 doodles of teenage Roku, Kuruk, Kyoshi, and Yangchen; each in monochrome colours of red, blue, green, and orange respectively. Top left shows Kuruk holding up his animal pelt above his face with a joyful expression. Next to him is Kyoshi. Her headwear is crooked and she has a hand raised to her face. She is smiling with Kuruk. Above them reads 'affectionately bullying a 14 year old'. Top right has Roku looking up at Yangchen with a peeved expression as he is now the shortest. Yangchen has a sympathetic smile as she looks at Roku. The bottom drawing is of Roku hitting Kuruk's pelt over his face with the latter making an aggravated noise. /end id]

Life Update

Ophelia is currently resting on twelve eggs that belong not only to her, but her three flockmates too. We have been keeping an eye on her, and she is doing a good job keeping the babies warm.

In a couple of days, we'll candle them when she goes out to get herself some food, and see if any of them are viable. But judging by how broody she's been, there's definately potential for some chicks in the Snail House soon!
