Let me know where you are at so I can find you and Applejack... I await your response

we're keeping it contained at sara's place. I'll get her to DM you the address.

btw I don't know if you're still with athena but please don't bring her with you. the spirit probably still hates her for killing his plushie body so that could go very badly!!

no reaction at all to this one. not as provocative an image...? or maybe the entity isn't here right now? he does seem less active at some times of day.

it's strange how even when I'm in control I can feel the enmeshing of our souls. memories that aren't mine. interests I didn't have before. a sudden complicated new set of feelings surrounding The Muppet Joker.

on today's episode of making the grishaverse make sense: trying to come up with somewhat historically plausible title for nikolai

[aleksanderscult]

The post today is Aleksander Morozova and his efforts to provide advice to others:

Aleksander seems to be the "reality check" of these novels. When the protagonists have dreams and wishes, Aleksander comes in and reminds them the reality of things.

When Ulla had hopes that this unique fire will make her people accept and love her, her brother remarked how her own uniqueness will never make the sildroher acknowledge her as one of their own. Aleksander himself knew that from personal experience. She was a rarity. A freak.

When Alina wished to be with Mal, Aleksander reminded her of the situation: Mal is a mortal and Alina a near-immortal Grisha whose dreams of an ordinary life are as good as impossible.

Her potential marriage with Nikolai would start promisingly but age and superstitions would come to create another upheaval and love towards Alina would be turned into fear and hate.

this is eerily similar to how the kermit spirit looks when I wake up in the middle of the night to see him lurking over me again

love and light and peace to Bucephalus may he gallop free and wild through the fields of Elysium (or Heaven if he was a Christian horse)

...why the fuck do i keep getting darkling apologists on my dash

[sage-thetravler]

two posts in one hour! Wow! Anyways I think The Darkling and Viktor would be freinds- specifically season two Viktor. Season one Viktor would more be freinds with Nikolai and David, along with Jayce of course, and make science things. Darkling and Viktor would be sitting together in the void relaying progressively more insane relationship advice.

There was something so visceral about seeing one's younger self. Especially for Eclipse and when it was himself was in so much pain.

He had never been the most stable of people. Black Doom had seen to that, especially after they had been destroyed. For a long time, he thought Shadow had wanted him dead, so he had thought to protect the Dark arms, he would need kill Shadow first.

The two of them had fought for a long time, gone at each other over and over. It had taken a long time, but they had finally made up. And then grown closer together, learning how to be brothers, how to truly care for each other.

It had taken lots of years, but Eclipse and Shadow were finally at a good point. They knew how to protect each other, how to tease without hurting the others. Most importantly, they were friends as well as close brothers.

But their younger selves were not. They still quarreled, still didn't know how to act like good brothers.

It was difficult for Eclipse to see, because he knew part of the reason was Clippy and his attitude.

The younger Eclipse, Clippy was young and brash. He said whatever popped into his mind, he didn't know boundaries or limits yet. He would push and poke at others around him, not realizing when he was going to far.

And then suffered the consequences when he did.

Such after hours of annoying Silver and Silver told him that he wished he was gone. That had hurt Clippy a lot, first sending him into a rage. If Eclipse hadn't been there, he might have hurt someone.

And then ending in tears. So many tears.

Eclipse remembered what it was like, trying to adjust to a new role in life. Feeling intense amounts of self loathing. Eclipse had always been his own self-serving prophecy. Drive others away before they could tell you to leave.

He wanted to be loved, he wanted it so badly. But he also was full of bad habits that got in his own way. Sometimes it was almost amusing how much Eclipse's own worst enemy was always himself.

Almost.

It was practically a part of who he was at this. For the longest time, Eclipse had worried that people, especially his brother secretly hated him and wanted him to leave. It took years of reassurance until those fears had left.

Clippy had not had that, he was young and literal and afraid of losing the fragile life he had.

Eclipse had spent years unlearning those habits. And now, he was being forced to look at them once again. Life was funny that way. Just when he thought he was over something, it was time to watch his much younger self wrestle with the same lessons he had dealt with.

Most importantly, Eclipse was a dad, it was almost impossible for him not to jump back into parent mode to try and help. Especially when it came to his younger self and how much this child was hurting. Life had dealt him some hard cards.

He would help, the best he could. But in the end, this was the lesson that Clippy had to learn all on his own. No one else could do it for him.

And more importantly, Clippy would have to decide if he would take the lesson to heart or not. Eclipse had always been quite stubborn, sometimes he had to wrestle with a painful lesson a few times before it stuck.

Eclipse just clutched the crying child to his chest and rocked him. There would be a lot of conflict resolution in both his and Silver's future about this.

leave her alone.

To those wondering yes I am a lesbian but I do not get into relationships for love I get into them out of evil and hatred for the human soul; this hatred is not limited by gender identity so no one is safe

My favorite thing about the Shadow and Bone original trilogy is that there are 3 love interests for Alina, and we all just kind of decided that all 3 men are kind of uncomfortably attracted to each other??? Like what happened to the original plot of the movie???? It’s so valid though, the subtext is there and screaming.
