#dune is superior tho

[sungkaan]

If I have a nickel for every time I read/watched a character had a future vision where he committed mass genocide and still chose to do it, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.

From the Dull Men's Club on a different Hellsite:

"We've been living in Northern France for ten years now. Before we lived in Southern France, which was after we had been living in - while restorating - an old windmill in Flanders, the working part of Belgium (couldn't unsay that one).

Without searching for it for any reason in particular, the old farm we bought here is located right on the Western Front, German side to be precise.

We learned very fast that the past was very palpable in our new environment. First time we got a glimpse from it was when one of our dogs dug up a piece of what was without any doubt a nice pebble to him, but appeared to be a fragment of a German shell - yes l dug a hole of 4m wide and almost 2m deep to get most of the other parts of that explosive - that's how l got to know who fired it in the first place.

His name was Fritz, Frank or Gunter, probably, maybe Mark, and since he was a fresh new recruit in the herd he fired his howitzer way too short, right behind the lines of his outraged fellow brothers in arms. At least, that's how l imagine the story. l apologize for my lack of evidence tho, despite it looking highly plausible to me.

Whatever, lots of artifacts came out of our ground since - bullets, fragments of pipes, an almost completely rotten away army boot with the nails still in its sole, more shell fragments, shrapnel bullets etc, all sorts of elements from military activity in and around our - probably - completely shot into pieces old farm.

You know, l've got a soft spot for old stories and maps. The National Library of Scotland did an outstanding job by digitizing the so called 'trench maps,' used by the allied forces in their daily struggle on Western Front. They are online, and a pure treasure chest for me, seeing our region with a more than 100 year old eyesight every day a little bit more. Allied trenches, less detailed, in blue, and German trenches, highly detailed, in red.

I'm not a souvenir seeker, l'm not an historian, l'm just a no name witness of something l'll never understand.

About this photo. I took it this morning, and y'all agree there's nothing more dull than a muddy road on a rainy day in an almost featureless landscape.

This is today, but more than a hundred years back this was about a few ten meters behind the first German (attack) trench. If ever the Allied forces managed to cross that trench, a flat zone of about 1000m soaked clay, craters, barbed wire, bodies and gear layed in front of them before they got into what would have been the real hornet nest - a second, extremely well defended trench system located on top of that tiny 'ridge' at the horizon of the picture. Well designed, barbed wire, machine guns, everything, and a whole bunch of cannons in the back country that covered the apocalyptic landscape between both trenches (that yellow dot indicates where the photo was taken, looking south-east).

These tiny ridges - ancient dunes during the glaciations - were the key of the whole Western Front north of the Somme. Strategic advantages in a lowland landscape, they defeated Allied leaders and superiors to throw thousands of young men to it.

This region is literally sprayed with war graves. New houses, residential areas, shopping malls and industrial areas are been built, transforming these fields with their ditches into concrete and bitumen, gradually erasing these tiny details in the landscape that remind us of what once was happening here.

When l got back in my car, track 11 of Phil Collins Best Of cd started playing - l'm a child of the eighties. I love good ol' Phil and every time l put another cd in my player, it stays there for several weeks.

Track 11, can't remember the name of the song, started with bag pipes and drums.

Bagpipes and drums. That's how l'm imagining them, storming the enemy lines.

Lest we forget.

Bart. 48 year old Belgian expat in France."

tag game 🌿✨️🦢

fav movie, hobby, animal, character, colour, place, season, song/album, food

got tagged by the lovely mary @sehnsuchts-trunken thank you so much, this was adorable 💕

i've got a ton of movies, i'd consider favourites, but pride&prejudice (2005) is the one i've probably watched the most times and yet the magic and romance never disappeares.

again, lots of things i enjoy doing, but with autumn coming on, i'm in a knitting mood.

ducks, ducks, ducks!! funny, adorable, paddling feet. need i say more?

aragorn, my beloved. in my head, we're happily married.

green is a superior colour, but especially the green of sun shining through leaves, just so fresh and earthy.

definitely a beach babe. tho i prefer windy grassy dunes over perfect white tropical beaches.

every october, i realise how much i've missed autumn. that late summer/early autumn period is the most magical time of the year. give me books, cups of tea and all the sweaters in the world.

hozier's 'unreal unearth' has been on repeat ever since it was released, its just an all-around perfect album. can't even decide, what's my favourite song, but 'unknown/nth', 'francesca' and 'who we are' are definitely up there.

love love love pasta of all kinds. during my last holiday i had spaghetti alle vongole for the first time, and i still dream of that dish. someone pls take me back.

i'm tagging @pantheraleoatrox, @innocence-lostttttt, @shirebarbie, @witchthewriter and @scyllas-revenge

have fun babes 💕

[josephtrohman]

it's wild to be that mcr fans have this delusional superiority complex bc mcr quit to keep the legend alive & gerard is a goth theatre kid (tho any theatre kid outsings him easy). ls dunes literally releases better music btw < was that mean enough?

LETS GOOOOO ANON LETS GOOOOOO

[pantalaiimon]

Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam

oh Lord

who? | only know their name | loathe | ugh | overrated | indifferent | dead | alive | just okay | cute | badass | my baby | hot | want to marry | favorite

... uh i do have very conflicting opinions abt her, but nothing up there fits those. i’m def not indifferent, i started up stanning her manipulative, powerful, shady personna, as is my wont (plus, what can i say, a sci-fi character named Gaius? i have weaknesses), but she ended up not being as smart as all that...

Chapter 19: Season Two, Episode Eight : The Spy

BECAUSE WE SEE ALPHA TWO “UNOFFICIALLY” IN ACTION AND SO MUCH IS GOING ON AND THEN GHOST FINALLY WAKES UP AND THERES SO MUCH WHUMP GOINF ON I LOVE IT

Yessssssss I love this chapter so much. It was so much fun and there was so much going on. Dune vs. the Deverouxs while Alpha 2 bands together. Ughhhhhh so much fun

god this is hard because they are so different!! in season 1 we spent our time learning boone and dukes background in like the first two chapters and the rest we got to know them as a team! and the action and story was so good all the time!!! season 2 on the other hand each character has a chapter learning about them and it’s so good because for me especially being able to know this team before ghosts entry helps me love all of these characters even MORE RHAN BEFORE

That’s fair 🤣

7t7k i love because we Danny and f/n relationship and they were so in love and just seeing them in this crazy situation pull off this fucking insane assassination AHH LOVE

7t7k is probs my fave flashback. I felt like it was a mess when i wrote it bc it went so fast but looking back on it, I love the pacing. And Ghost and Danny’s relationship is adorable. 

I remember when I first started out not really leaning into their relationship bc i didn’t know how readers would react to Ghost being in a previous relationship but I’m so happy y’all love it and I can get into it more 

but another thing i love seeing is their WORK relationship like first and foremost he is her superior and they are there to get a job done and it’s a really interesting dynamic to see. like this is IN-TENSE and danny just being rough with f/n when she goes against his orders is like 😳

Merchant of Death was so much fun to write toooooooo. I love that Danny can go from loving fiance to Captain of Aftermath to sharing ½ a brain cell with Ghost in .5 seconds 

(also you killed me with those new flashbacks from ts&ts for the ambush :((( how dare you do this to me i-)

I’m so sorry. It hurt me too

so i think my fav chapter has to be No Time to Die

Same tho 

and i think specifically because of belov having to fight a brainwashed boone :,(

Now THAT fight scene was so dope to write. Like a totally unhinged, brainwashed, Widow!Boone is so different then regular Boone and pitting her up against her Russian brother hurt so good

AND THEN AND THEN—

natasha.. avengers… assemble

YESSSSSSS

literature at its finest i can’t deal because GHOST AND ALL OF ALPHA TWO THERE AND THEN THE AVENGERS AHHHH

I love this scene so much. It’s the one that popped into my head at work and inspired me to write The Red Room in the first place and I’m so glad that it translated from my head to writing so well

THIS IS SO LONG IM SORRY BUT I LOVE THIS AND YOUR WORK IS SO MWAHHH have a good day darke :)))))

Thank you loveeeee!!!! Have an amazing evening

DARKE!!!

i’ve been meaning to ask this for so long but i always forget but NOWWWW I REMEMBER

out of all the chapters you have written, which ones are your favorite?! like id say top 5

the reason i’m asking is because i’ve been thinking about my favorite chapters (now don’t get me wrong they’re all FIRE) but these are the ones i find myself rereading the most (in no particular order)

1.) Chapter 62: Frankenstein’s Monster

2.) Chapter 65: It’s Been a Long, Long Time

3.) Chapter 36: Anonymous Avenger

4.) Chapter 39: Zero Dark Thirty

5.) Chapter 57 Killer Instinct

(coming up with this list was HARDDD BECAUSE THERES SO MANY GOOD ONES)

Ahhhhh Vallll!!!

This is such a hard question. It's like trying to pick your fave child or something...

That being said...

5 - Occluded Front

This one was so much fun to write. The back and forth between Ghost and the Soldier, the fact that the Soldier has been watching her in the back of Bucky's mind....oooofffff *chef's kiss* this is the chapter that really set us up on the path back to Aftermath and Bucky on his path back to the Avengers and, of course, it sets us up to meet the one and only, Wraith.

4 - Zero Dark Thirty

The angst. The first kiss. The drama. The deal with the devil herself. Need I say more?

3 - Shadow Boxing

Wraith makes his big, bold entrance in this bad boi. Plus! We bring not only Aftermath and the Avengers together, we meet Bucky in Prague and he gets to meet Ghost again. This is one of the chapters where it was supposed to be combined with the chapter before it but Wraith took the reins and became rather nefarious. Which was so, so fun.

2 - Wargames

Yes, this chapter is Duke/Boone centered, but it was the one that cemented with me the fact I was going to write The Soldier and The Spy. Watching them work together in that chapter and knowing that they had a past together really inspired me to write season one. And season one turned into season two. And now season two is turning into season three. Without this chapter, and y'all's support, of course, TS&TS probably wouldn't have been a thing.

1 - Little Red Book

The big bad bean itself. This chapter took a lot out of me at 20k words but it was so, so much fun to write. Again, we got the Avengers and Aftermath working together. We got Bucky and Ghost working together...we get Bucky actually getting the help that he needs...And, most importantly. We get Ghost and Bucky's first 'I love you.'

Another big thing about this chapter is that it gave me my official chance to pull away from the MCU and enter into the BS:U entirely.

Gahdamn, this was hard. And I'm now realizing that, as much as I love the fluff I've been writing recently, I really miss fight scenes bc I love going back and reading them.

Tell me what y'all think! I'd love to hear what your faves are!!!

What's your fave TS&TS chapter? Who's your fave out of Alpha 2? Did you like S1 or S2 better?

What's your fave BS:A Flashback chapter? And why?

What about a fave moment or chapter from The Red Room?
