Weald and Wen -- the Lady's Shadow

Atop a crystalline hillock, gray-blue fur speckled violet by the Shimmerwoods tempered light; Faerai’s wide eyes probed the flush leaves of its translucent canopy. Grateful to be out of the cramped tunnels and away from their gloomy shadows, she searched the lofty layers and mottled light of the leaves for a hint of a brighter shadow. A grander shadow, one promised by Full Bright’s glare.

Splotches of redder pinks led her, squinting, around the searing curve of the Lady’s Heart—a curve that dominated the hidden sky, too broad to see beyond—and there she spied it. Or, rather, a hint of it; a dark silhouette, the silhouette, its pinks bruised darker than the rest. And in that hint burned the promise of more, of a resting shape that had been guessed and carved and painted…but never seen.

Faerai squeaked, her flopped ears standing tall. She had found it, the Lady’s shadow, tossing and turning beneath the feardreams of the Bright—a good omen and a fine start to any harvest.

Ok, let’s rotate another aos thought

FW!Coulson has a daughter in it, much like Mack had Hope. Yes, Hope was actually real and Mack did lose her, but for sake of RotTM let’s just say it was Coulson’s ideal world or whatever and he gets his own kid

Now. Imagine the turmoil that man would be in. We know the heart that he has. We know how much he loves. And for him, in FW mindset, to be the typical nerdy school teacher with his daughter whom he obviously loves. His students know her. Sometimes she helps him grade their work. She is his entire world, especially since he doesn’t have a wife or any other kids. It’s just them

And then, as in canon, Daisy shows up. She gives him her 4x16 spiel and he knows her. Somehow, he knows her. Her name rings a bell. Her voice. There’s a phantom presence in his shoulder that he can’t quite shake, but boy is it familiar

To Coulson, Daisy obviously loves him. He obviously means more to her than he could possibly understand. He’s her family, she said so. He’s who she goes to when things get heavy

But he has his own kid.

And then everything starts to happen. He joins the Resistance, but the team starts dropping the truths. “The framework isn’t real” “Hope isn’t real” “(she) isn’t real, Coulson”

Oh, but she feels real. His love for her is real. Her voice and her hugs and the way she looks like him are very much real. She’s his blood, of course she’s real. Of course their family is real

So what becomes the choice? Follow Daisy, who’s name was the only one he remembered? Follow Jemma? Follow May who he obviously has a deja vu moment with? Follow the pull of his family that he didn’t even know he had, but the feeling that burns under his fingertips when he’s around them?

Stay with his daughter? His own blood? To continue in the most important job of his life—raising his child? Even if that means being erased from existence, in the world he thought was his own, and the one that is his own?

do you ever get days when it's hard to like type, your fingers feel wobbly and unfocused and even just writing casual text feels like a special effort, not really for lack of mood but just, fingers, wobbly, weak, loose, unfocused? like days when your mind is unfocused, but just, with your....fingers?

I think that one thing people fail to understand is that unsolicited literary criticism coming from an online stranger who is reading with no knowledge of what the authors intended goal is, is not going to be received the same as say: the authors beta reader or friends who know what the authors intended goal and has the sufficient knowledge and input to help the author reach that desired outcome.

"But I'm only trying to be helpful" How do I know you have the knowledge and literary skill for you to be able to actaully do that when we don't know each other and you are essentially a stranger to me? Are you applying this criticism based out of personal biased experience and desire to see the story or characterization be driven in another direction or tweaked, or do you know the author's intentions for the character? If the story is incomplete, are you basing your criticism of a character on the incomplete narration with only partial information available of them or are you building up a report until the story's completion? Did the author provide you with the information needed to make a fully informed criticism?

Have you discussed with the author what their plans are or are you assuming them based off the narration, especially if the narration is proven or implied to be unreliable or missing key points of the plot? Are you unbiased enough to help them reach their desired outcome for the characters and story regardless of your personal feelings towards the characters/antagonists and setting? Can you handle being told your specific input isn't wanted because you're a reader and/or have no written anything relating to their genre or topic? Do you understand and respect that the author's personal experiences might influence their writing and make it different than how you would have done it personally? Do you understand if an author only wants input from a specific demographic relating to their story?

If it's for fanfiction or other hobby media, are you holding a free hobby to a professional standard? Are you trying to give criticism because you feel like the author has produced 'subpar job performance' of their fic? Are you viewing their work as a personal intimate outlet or something that must conform with mass media? Are you applying rules and guidelines when the fic is shared for simple sharing sake? Is your criticism worded appropriately and focused on the parts where the author has requested input on rather than a general dismissal and or disapproval?

Have you put yourself in a place where you assumed you have the input needed for the story to evolve better, or have you asked what the author needs and what they're having trouble with? Can you handle having your criticism rejected if the author decides their story doesn't need the change and not take it as a personal offense against your character? Are you crossing that boundary because you think you are doing the author a favor? Are you trying to be helpful, or do you just want to be?

I think sometimes when people hear authors go 'please don't give me unsolicited writing advice or criticism' they automatically chalk it up to 'this author doesn't want ANY constructive feedback on their stuff at all' and not "i already have trusted individuals who will help me with my writing goals and- hey i don't know you like that, please stop acting so overly familiar with me'

lived my whole life in guilt bc i thought i was responsible for people's feelings. newly realizing that other people are responsible for their feelings and reactions, even if they make it seem like i'm the problem. a lot of the time it really has to do w them and their own emotional regulation. i can't keep thinking i'm not allowed to have space bc of other people's insecurities. like i literally refuse to dim myself. other people are responsible for their feelings just as i'm responsible for mine.

i love the two genre of mountain goats songs are like “i shot a guy in the face. and id do it again if i had to. that’s what loving you is like” and “i saw a monkey through the window. he waved at me. i didn’t know monkeys knew how to do that”

to care for you i must take you apart

[horrorlesbians]

the obsession with aesthetic-izing everything is a disease that companies have sold us via influencers. it's all about turning your private space into a perfect backdrop for videos and photos, everything has to be a soundstage to market a product. making you view your own private space like a voyeur, already imagining the comments people might leave if your home isn't what they deem ideal. your fridge does not need to be aesthetically pleasing, you don't need to empty out spices from plastic packaging into a glass jar of the exact same size of the original packaging. not everything has to be pinterest goals. there is so little time, just live life.

maybe the term “antisemitism” seems “overused” because theres so much of it

genuinely think dan just jumped at the first opportunity to make an apology video. this fucking theatre kid WISHES he had a legitimate reason to get up in front of his audience and emotionally manipulate them into forgiving him. he lives for the drama.

despite Laios low self esteem making him think that if he’d been eaten, Chilchuck and Marcille wouldn’t have helped Falin,

theres a small part of me that thinks the reason Chilchuck stayed with the party and went back in the dungeon in the first place was because he didn’t want to leave Laios alone. That Laios was moreso the reason he stayed.
