Justice & The Magician!

Justice was answered here!

The Magician: What are Rook's thoughts on Solas? Do they change as the story progresses?

Beaux goes back and forth on Solas so much. Most of the time, he can see why Solas is the way he is and why he did the things he did. He understands trying to make up for mistakes and feeling like you're the only one who can set things right. He feels sorry for him a lot of the time, because he can see how much loss and pain is in Solas' past and how that drives him.

What he can't agree with is the way Solas is fine with sacrificing people and playing them for fools. It's dishonest and shady. Beaux would never condone manipulating someone into laying down their life for him, no matter how 'necessary' it was. He could never see his friends and companions and allies as chess pieces to move across the board and sacrifice as needed. The real nail in the coffin is the fade prison because it hurts him a lot that he fought so hard for this only to be thrown away in the end.

Fiore doesn't like or trust Solas from day 1. She does not care about his sob story, and while he's fun to trade verbal spars with, she wants him out of her head. She thinks that most of his problems were caused by his own arrogance or his inability to say no or stand up for what he actually believed in, and she sees that as a weakness.

As the story progresses, she can appreciate that she does need him to take on the gods, but she doesn't have to like it. But once he betrays her, she's just hellbent on making him regret it.

Lysander has a lot of complicated feelings about Solas. On the one hand, he's fascinated by him and the wealth of knowledge he has. He'd love to just spend hours asking him questions and absorbing what he has to say. On the other hand, he's condescending and rude, and he has driven Lys to tears more than once. Because Lysander never asked to be a leader and is not having a good time, and Solas constantly grilling him about why he should lead and what he's going to do to fix this whole mess is stressing him out. He actually does snap and yell at Solas at one point, and then he's very embarrassed about it.

As the story progresses, he does feel bad for him. Solas is so wrapped up in his own grief and regret that he can't see a way forward and it makes it almost impossible for anyone to reach him. He also has bad feelings about the way Solas sacrifices people for the cause, and that at least keeps him on his guard around Solas.

Thanks for the ask!!

2024 in gifs ♡

as of December 14, 2024

post your favorite and most popular post from each month this year (it’s okay to skip months)

tagged by the absolutely wonderful @six-demon-bag who got into makings gifs this year and is doing a fucking incredible job of documenting all of the obscure horror flicks 😍

January:

most notes (though not a lot at 122): first step of me getting properly into cegan, there'll be a lot of these in here i think (TWD S07E01)

fave: jack quaid being an idiot on instagram stories (affectionate)

February:

most notes (321): "it's more productive to break you, more fun too" aka another cegan set (TWD S07E07)

fave: Rick cutting off his arm in TWD: TOWL with a much needed flashback to him almost doing the same to Carl (on Negan's orders) back in TWD

March:

most notes (957): the first name drop of Carl in TWD: TOWL by Michonne 😭

fave: a super tough call, so either a rework of (colouring-wise) Rick pointing a gun at Michonne's back while saying 'I love you' (this scene knocked the wind right out of me)

or the very first of my comic panel sets (this one with Negan and Carl, quelle surprise)

April:

most notes (678): another comic panel set, Carl being shot in TWD: S06E09 (my second fave set with the comic wound superimposed on Chandler's face)

fave: comic panels of Carl taking off the bandages to show Negan - very much one of my favourite gifs I've ever made is in that set tbh

May:

most notes (765): the appearance of JDM in The Boys trailer that made us all lose our minds for a bit

fave: 'i'd kill you if i was absolutely sure you wouldn't be into it' cegan set (though! the first spotting of me getting into neggie proper was also in May so this was a tough call)

June:

most notes (861): Butcher releasing the bunny from the labs in The Boys S04E05

fave: Maggie Rhee looking hot as fuck in Dead City S01E05, my GOD 🥵

July:

most notes (499): Torres' first appearance in the Cap A teaser trailer (my baby bird uwu etc)

fave: Maggie and Negan at each other's throats with a shot from the Dead City S02 trailer. it's fancy! it's coloured! i love it

August:

most notes (236): more Torres being the sweet baby boy he is in TFATWS S01E01

fave: this other Torres set that I spent WAY too long on and only has 78 notes (happens sometimes)

or honestly, this one of Ash (Danny Ramirez) from No Exit trying to kill his co-star

September:

most notes (156): John Walker in the Thunderbolts* teaser, I didn't have a lot of high note gifsets in September because I was just making Wyatt ones and everyone is sleeping on my boy

fave: be so surprised that it's a comic-style gifset with John Walker

October:

most notes (421): 'o captain my captain' with my original (and forever) blorbo James T Kirk, in his various castings

fave: this one isn't fair cause i made SO MANY GOOD SETS that got overlooked 😭 so here's, like, three of my faves

Maggie x Negan: texts from last night

Maggie x Negan: i'm in her head, living rent-free

Maggie x Negan (are we sensing a theme): and i think we most fully understood each other when once i tried to kill him with a kitchen knife

November:

you just get my two faves from this month:

probably my fave edit of the year, Maggie with a gun pointed on Hornsby

and, Maggie in colour with Beth in black and white

December:

most notes (164): the Brasso hug from Andor S01E12

fave: kill me or take me in edit with Cassian (also from Andor S01E12)

OR!! the set i made last night (which i'll be reblogging again in a moment) with Torres once more, shout-out to finally getting an additional teaser

low-stress tagging: @jdeanmorgan @deputyrook @the-ravening and @5ummit (and anyone else who would like to join!)

[chainsawsangel]

rules: tag 9 people you want to get to know better.

last song: angel of small death and the codeine scene by hozier.

last show: ergo proxy

last film: meet the robinsons

current show: the last kingdom (rewatching)

Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia Title: when you picture yourself happy Author: MermaidMarie  Pairing: Midoriya Izuku/Rody Soul Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 4,063 Summary: Somehow, despite his upbringing and his tendency towards obliviousness to this sort of thing, it’s Shouto who knows first. --- In which everyone realizes Izuku's feelings.

Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia Title: Safe Space Author: RayShippouUchiha Pairing: None Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 2,494 Summary: “-ve talked about this,” Toshiyuki hears Dekiru say, “that would be cannibalism and Aizawa-sense said we’re not allowed to do that anymore.”

Toshiyuki falters mid-step but then soldiers on.

“Dekiru!” They call as soon as they’re within microphone range.  “Maesaka Toshiyuki from NHK, can I have your thoughts on the villain Spot’s latest arson attack?”

Fandom: DCU Comics (Batman, Superman)/Percy Jackson Crossover Title: Annabeth and the Nine Step Career Plan Author: feeling_the_aster_9145 Pairing: Anabeth Chase/Percy Jackson, Lois Lane/Clark Kent Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 60,673 Series: Part 1 of The Art of Mortal Quests (Words: 76,169 - Works: 2) Summary: Annabeth Chase does not accept limitations. Everyone knows that. If she wants something, no matter how impossible, she will find a way to make it happen. Though, perhaps she will allow Bruce Wayne and his ridiculous paranoia-induced company restrictions a small portion of the credit.

Actually… now that she thinks about it, the man may have had a point in his worries.

Wayne Technologies does not accept college interns. Annabeth always has a plan B.

There, she's forced to contend with a drastically different pre-war Wizarding World where blood-based prejudice and rigid class structures rule the day, and maybe worse, Bellatrix Black as a classmate. But getting involved with Bellatrix Black in any capacity means dealing with her family's problems, too.

Fandom: Harry Potter Title: The Chaos Class Author: Itslivybear Pairing: None (Various background ones in later parts) Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Word Count: 7,619 Series: Part 1 of GTE Time Travel (Words: 40,302 - Works: 5) Summary: The Golden Trio's entire year wake back up on their eleventh birthdays will all their memories up until the night after the Battle of Hogwarts and, once they realize this is happening to ALL of them, decide that they are, under no circumstances, going to do that shit the same way again.

Honestly, it's always something with these kids, isn't it?

Fandom: Harry Potter/Labyrinth Crossover Title: Of Dreamers and Journeys Author: Mystical_Magician Pairings: Jareth/Sarah Williams, Albus Dumbledore/Minerva McGonagall, Remus Lupin/Nymphadora Tonks Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Word Count: 43,995 Summary: The Labyrinth changed Sarah in more ways than one.

Fandom: Merlin/Stargate Atlantis Crossover Title: Destiny Revisited Author: lavvyan Pairings: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard, Arthur/Merlin Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Word Count: 2,574 Summary: They're both less innocent than they were a thousand years ago; less trusting, more broken. This time, Merlin is the one who gets called on his behaviour – and it's true, he thinks ruefully, he'd stopped bothering to learn the names of those around him long ago – and Arthur is the one who refuses to leave anyone behind. This time, Merlin is the one saying words like "idiot" and "moron," and Arthur has the stupid ears.

Fandom: Red One Title: Terms of Employment May Vary Author: breakaway71 Pairing: Jack O'Malley/Callum Drift Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Word Count: 2,851 Summary: “That’s so cool,” was the first thing Dylan said when Jack told him about the job offer. The second thing was, “They’ll let me visit again if you work there, right?” which at least showed where his priorities were at. The third thing was, “How come you didn’t already say yes? Is it because of your crush on Cal?”

5 Songs, 3 Outfits

Thank you so much for the tag @jaal-ama-daravv

Rules: Post 5 songs associated with your OC, followed by 3 outfits they would wear.

OC: Alwena von Valancius

Songs:

Alwena is, especially pre-canon, a cannibal but specifically a fun cannibal. This is definitely a song I can imagine her humming as she is chopping up her fellow voidsman.

Another fun song, though this one starts going into the canon days, where she significantly sobers up into the role of a Rogue Trader, especially after Act 3, but she's still cool enough to have this funky song.

This song is to more represent her psyker side as well as herself as an Iconoclast. The Iconoclast is essentially urging her to become more than herself, to reshape the Koronus Expanse into something worthy of her leadership, while the (unsanctioned) psyker part of her is far more violent--'the evil one' trying to make her go down the path of insanity.

This song is a post-canon song for her inability to keep the Koronus Expanse from breaking out in both a civil war between the Von Valancius dynasty and the newly acquired Winterscale territory, as well with war with the other Rogue Trader dynasties that are not taking a liking to her way of power.

This one is again post-canon and about her fear of death for those she loves, as well as fear for her own death as she is commonly targeted for assassinations--assassinations that eventually succeed in taking her life.

Outfits:

Again, thank you dearie. I don't know whose all done this, so I'll just tag @deputyrook and @antelopunny

2024 Writing Round Up!

Thank you to @inquisimer for the tag! I always mean to do this at the end of the year and it somehow slips my mind every time, so it's nice to have a reason to actually sit down and look at my stats. Tagging @quillfulwriter, @rookinthecrownest, @deputyrook, @process-pending, and anyone else who sees this and wants to do it! No pressure, of course 💖

words posted: 49,666

additional words written: 32,048

grand total of words: 81,714

fandoms: harry potter, ted lasso, the tarot sequence, bg3, dragon age

highest kudos: and i know you're scared (but you loved me for a second there) with 329. my foray into werewolf!roy/jamie when i was in my ted lasso period.

highest hit oneshot: same fic with 2,861 hits. werewolf porn, go figure, lol.

new things I tried: I dabbled in some new fandoms this year, and wrote one of my top 5 longest one shots ever at over 10k words.

fic I spent the most time on: probably sunshine warm, moonlight soft. I almost didn't finish that one in time for the fest it was for, and I nearly scrapped it like once a week until it was done. But I'm super proud of it and it was very well received.

fic I spent the least time on: most of the little ficlets I've done on here are pretty quickly written. I usually bang out like a 500 word piece, clean it up a little, and then hit post and send it into the void.

favorite thing I wrote: It's probably a tie between the pressure and the pleasure you put your body through (fem!roy/fem!jamie smutty hurt/comfort) and riches, in a pair (fem!rook de riva/lucanis taking a romantic walk after the dinner that locks in the romance). Two very different fics, but they both sort of wrote themselves in the way that the words just kept coming to me like they needed to be written.

favorite thing(s) I read:

Thickets by wolfpants - older Harry/Draco. Just soft and tender and so very expressive. It was one of the first fics I read this year, and I've come back to it more than once because it's so lovely.

the light and the obstacle that casts it by misprinting - Brand/Rune/Addam. So much hurt/comfort, heavy on both, honestly. Fairly dark, so mind the tags, but the soft trio feelings are so good.

Scrape by spqr - Roy/!femJamie. This fic changed my life legitimately. I am always here for imagining characters and ships if their genders were different, and this fic started my fem!Jamie craze that lasted most of the summer.

a kind of dwell and welcome by leupagus - Ted/Trent. This is like THE TedTrent fic, and I read it all the way through probably 5 times this year. It's just incredibly well written, and the way it sparked so many companion fics is such a beautiful love letter to the show and the fandom community.

writing goals for 2025: My main goal is to write things that bring me joy and to care less about numbers. I am quick to get discouraged when something I worked hard on doesn't do the numbers I expected, but that shouldn't take away from the love I had for the fic. I also want to get better at writing descriptions and making my words flow better and feel less stiff.

new works: 7 fics on ao3, 19 tumblr fics/ficlets
