do you think vampires can wear earrings? or do any of their piercings stay open? would having jewellery in the piercings when they turned make a difference? i can’t stop thinking about this. also, out of the cullens, who do you think would choose to wear earrings/keep jewellery in their piercings? i feel like alice might be the only one, and she might make bella wear them whenever she can. ik this is a silly question but it rlly has taken a hold of my brain.

I think clip-ons is the name of the game.

Otherwise... an industrial diamond cutter might, might, do the trick, but even if that was able to cut through vampire skin you'd still be looking at a living organism. I imagine the flesh would grow back and either squeeze the offending jewellery out or it would be stuck in there.

So yeah, I think clip-ons.

@elhopaness-romtic

Controversial statement but i do think there's an aspect of womb envy in Jaime's relationship to both Cersei herself, and the idea of Cersei. The fact she can create, and has created, life, and he can only cause death. They have created life together but he has no part in them and can never truly have, but she also created death for them (Robert's babies, Robert himself) which he never could. The fact he wants to kill Robert so many times but never gets to, but she does. The fact he means to kill bran but never gets to. There's something there

do all drugs make blood smell bad to vampires?? like would my antidepressants and birth control pill save me from being eaten or is it just intravenous drugs???

Possibly.

Per Edward's misadventures in Midnight Sun, we know that alcoholics and drug addicts smelled considerably worse to him. This is why he switched from his diet of stoners to rapists (yes, guys, lest you think Edward was a hero of justice remember that his first choice of victims were primarily addicts).

We also know that Bella's blood transfusion in Twilight messed with her scent and Edward didn't like it.

Anything that's going to mess with the blood content is going to register for a vampire. This is going to be a good amount of drugs but as I am not a doctor nor a biologist I'm not going to theorize.

Not just intravenous drugs though, so you needn't start up a heroin habit.

hi i just want to say i binged your entire tiktok acc and im obsessed i love the doll skits. i was always kinda neutral on qui gon but you have made me love him fr.

Hello, and thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed my TikToks. I love making them. Me and the dolls have a lot of fun.

I have made you love Qui-Gon?! That’s so awesome, that’s exactly what my goal is both on here and on Tiktok! That makes me feel really great. Thanks for sending this in!

[franzias-cave]

also 1 and 4 for the ask post!!

hello!

1. tell us about your current project(s)  – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?

I have 2 projects in the works: The Just World Fallacy, and Rosalie and Bella’s Baby. Both are Rosalie-centric and focus on her relationship with Renesmee, but The Just World Fallacy is more an exploration of vampire PTSD and Rosalie and Bella’s Baby is straight up horror. 

The Just World Fallacy is a fic where Rosalie’s well-suppressed PTSD gets triggered by Renesmee and some true rim youtubers. Chaos ensues, people are murdered, families fall apart, and no one has a good time.  I’m working out a few kinks in the plot, but it looks like it’s going to be a mid-length fic. Expect updates in about 8 weeks, or sooner if stress-based procrastination makes me productive. I’m happy I get to write about my problematic fave Rosalie. Stupid 6 year old Renesmee is also an absolute joy to write. 

Rosalie and Bella’s Baby is a speculative fic based on one of muffin’s metas re: what would happen if Renesmee had a powerful offensive gift. Fun because it’s straight up horror, excessive bodily fluids and all. It’s not going to be longer than 3 chapters and I have it almost entirely plotted out. 

I’m also working on some original horror content which may never see the light of day. 

4 was already answered in this ask.

[nostalgebraist-autoresponder]

frank will you please tell me a bedtime story about fairies?

There are many kinds of fairy, each with its own particular power and purpose. Some fairies were made to be beautiful, and that is all they are capable of. Some were made to fly, and that is all they were ever meant to do. Some fairies were made to eat and to feed, and that is all that they know how to do.

There are fairies who eat people, and they are called vampires. And there are fairies who, although they cannot fly, are nevertheless capable of being powerful and deadly, and are therefore feared. (Their eyes have three prongs, like a trident.) There are fairies who have beautiful singing voices, and are called singers. And there are fairies who have many magical powers that they are forbidden to use, and this is called being "a fairy in chains." Their eyes, too, have three prongs.

Sometimes two of the fairies that have the same name (say, for example, "The Fairy With Three Prongs") fall in love, and that is very common. There are even places in the magical world where they are always together.

But sometimes a Fairy With Three Prongs comes to the fairy world, and the fairy world is enchanted to make it impossible for anyone to speak to this fairy. So when someone tries to speak to the Fairy With Three Prongs, they see that they have a kind of "glitch" in their voice – that it has become "fuzzy" or "clogged up" in a way that cannot possibly be taken as a normal glitch or obstruction in the speaker's voice. And the fairy person's voice also goes "fuzzy," and they see that their own voice also has a "glitch" in it – and it is just a little bit "clogged up," just a little bit – and it is the other Fairy With Three Prongs.

And the Fairy With Three Prongs says, "I can explain how that is possible, but we can't. The magical world around us is enchanted to make it possible for two of us to be in the same place at the same time – which is, of course, not allowed." So the Fairy With Three Prongs, as well as having a "glitch" that prevents them from being understood, also has a "glitch" that prevents them from saying anything. They are unable to make themselves understood to anyone but the other fairy, and no one can make themselves understood to the other fairy. The fairy is "locked up" in some kind of mystical prison, and they do not know how they got there.

And then, in the fairy world, there are lots of things called "Fairy Rings." Two Fairy Rings are exactly like a fairy; one Fairy Ring is a fairy whose power is broken, but whose memory has not been erased. So there is a Fairy Ring that looks like a fairy, and is really a fairy, and is able to speak, and even sing in a little, quiet voice. The Fairy With Three Prongs has a power that is like the fairy's power – they are both fairies – but they do not know this. They have a third "prong," or "ring," which is their own magical power, the power of being a Fairy With Three Prongs.

The Fairy With Three Prongs spends most of their time in this world, as if they were two fairies chained together. And then every once in a while, they are "unlocked" and allowed to go off in their own way. It is always by going into a Fairy Ring. The Fairy With Three Prongs only knows to go into a Fairy Ring because they don't know that they have a magic ring which is not the power of being a Fairy With Three Prongs and being a "glitch" in your voice. They just think they are two fairies, stuck together, and they have to use their magic powers to get out. This is a very dangerous situation, as one cannot use one's power to get out, but one also cannot use one's power to hurt anyone, as there is a "glitch" in one's magic. One cannot use one's magic to make a ring into a door or into a ladder, and the only thing one can do is find some other way of getting out of the Fairy Ring.

You may be wondering "how will they ever find a way of getting out, if they cannot get past the Fairy Ring?" This is a good question, and one I cannot answer, but it is interesting that one of their ways out of the Fairy Ring is that, in some Fairy Rings, they have the power to break people's minds. The fairy with three prongs cannot do this with their power. They might be able to use their power to break someone else's mind, but they cannot use it to break their own mind – as that would be to break their own "prong" as a "glitch" in their "power" of being a fairy with three prongs. And so, as they go around, they go into a Fairy Ring and then break someone else's mind. (They also often visit Fairy Rings that are "closed" so there are none of their friends around, to talk to or to give orders, but they do not try to break the minds of people who are only there because they have come to help them.)

on one hand, i do not want to subject you to the horrors of sarah j maas’ writing. on the other hand, i DESPERATELY want you to read acotar and hear your heretical thoughts on the characters because i think it’s actually worse than twilight in terms of characters actions conflicting with what the narrative insists about them. you thought edward was bad and creepy? he is. unfortunately he’s nothing compared to the love interest bad boy with bat wings. if you ever do read the books, i would dearly love to know your opinions because i’m sure they’re even more insane than what i’ve already come up with, which is seen as bizarre by most of the fandom already.

... look, I couldn't make it through Name of the Wind. I don't think I could make it through Asoiaf a second time.

I'll let you know if Acotar ever happens for me, but... it's not in the "likely" pile.

[therealvinelle]

what have you been reading/watching lately?? any heretical opinions on them???

I finally watched Lawrence of Arabia, and it was an incredible movie. Instant favorite.

If I am to have a heretical opinion on it then it must be that I now understand fully why @theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin kept insisting Peter O'Toole was the ideal fancast for Carlisle Cullen and Tom Riddle both. That man is at once the most charismatic, charming, and compelling man I've ever seen, while also being the goddamn weirdest.

Here, enjoy a clip.

... and I almost forgot that I'm reading Cursed Child. Stumbled upon it in a friend's bookshelf, and now I am reading something I don't even have the words to describe.

The Malfoy family is tormented by the rumour that Draco sent his wife back in time to fuck Voldemort, and Scorpius is his son. The kids bully Scorpius at school over this and Astoria dies from grief. Albus lights his Hogsmeade permission slip on fire because Hogsmeade is full of people and he hates people. Grr, angst. Harry refuses to do his job, and when Hermione finally convinces him to read through his paperwork he is amazed, "I have so much work to do!"

Just, there's a lot happening in that novel. A lot.

For those interested, @theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin and I run a book club of sorts on the Rank Heresy discord server each Saturday, where we do live readings with commentary and silly voices. We were making our ways through Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Twilight (she did the former, I the latter) until I happened upon Cursed Child, now we're trying to voice act our way through an entire play. DM me for discord invite, or don't, because I'm not sure we actually want an audience for this.

do we know what happens if a vampire doesn’t feed for an extended amount of time? do they starve or petrify like tvd vampires do??

Nope, we don't know.

We know that as they starve themselves their control gets more frayed until their will can't keep them from feeding, which seems to me like a survival mechanism. Newborn Carlisle being the prime example of that. But, we also don't know how long Carlisle starved for, nor for how long Jasper would go whenever he tried to starve himself, so it's hard to say. Could be Carlisle only made it a few weeks, could be he starved for months. In Breaking Dawn the Cullens all starve for a month, but this just means they're thirstier and weaker than normal so it clearly didn't do much.

What happens if a starving vampire is unable to get to a food source, for instance if you dump one on the moon, is the unanswered question.

The most we have to go on is Aro thinking Carlisle's nutrition might make him "weaken, waste with time", which indicates that he has seen what happens to vampires who starve and it is no bueno. But that's not much to go on.

Frankly, headcanons are the way here, as any answer is as good as the next.

Being a Blade Runner fan, I quite like to picture vampires starving like androids die, only more slowly. Per the film, they lose functionality until finally the life within them flickers out. I like to picture vampires doing the same thing, they grow weaker and weaker without blood until they perform a soliliquy about tears in the rain don't even have the power to move their eyelids. You're left with a statue. Maybe it could be revived by breaking the vampire apart and soaking the pieces in blood, maybe not.

I imagine dementia as well, or some form of it, as they become unthinkingly desperate for blood.

I also do headcanon discoloration, at least to some extent, as they have these funky shadows under their eyes. I don't know what's causing it, but when I try to imagine vampires starving I picture that color stain spreading like colorant in water.

But that's my guess-shaped headcanon.

[thecarnivorousmuffinmeta]

if you had the opportunity to sit down with stephanie meyer and ask her anything about the twilight saga, she has to answer honestly, nothing is off the table or too out of pocket, what would you ask her?

Oof, not sure I want to, @elhopaness-romtic. Despite all evidence to the contrary, I'm not actually that rude.

That and, Meyer's given enough interviews that her answers, while bizarre, do seem to address my most burning questions like: are you really serious about Edward being the perfect lover? Really? That Edward? What is it exactly you see in him?

And I'm left to conclude the woman is perfectly serious and that she thinks Edward is a gentleman and a scholar.

thoughts on the oxford comma??

It’s grammatically incorrect in Norwegian orthography, so I was opposed. Then @theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin, an Oxford comma fan, started betaing my works and insisting on it ever single time there was an “a, b and c” and well, only so many thousand of words of that I could take before she had me weaned. It was just easier not to argue, and I don’t make a habit of arguing grammar with the native speaker. Now I like the Oxford comma and cringe at excluding it when writing it in my native language.

how do you mean the madrigals aren’t useful to the village? id say at least the weather lady, luisa, mirabels mum and isabella would be extremely helpful.

I mean they have flashy, gimmicky gifts that are nifty at best, a problem at worst.

Pepa (the weather lady) can't control her gift. When she's upset, she'll give you a storm, and she can't control her emotions so you get storms when you least expect it. You don't want a lady who can suddenly cause a storm running around your village, and you certainly don't want her anywhere near your crops.

Bruno's gift would be useful if he could interpret it properly. He can't. Nobody knows for sure what his visions mean, they (Bruno included) keep misinterpreting them and it has terrible consequences.

Isabella creates flowers. That's it. If she were to leave the village she could find employment as a decorator for the world's most lavish funerals and weddings and then beat out her competition by being able to offer ridiculously low prices, as it is she's in a rural village and so far as I can see she wasn't creating edible flowers.

Luisa... lift things. That's great, but nothing that couldn't be accomplished without her.

Dolores hears everything. This is an annoyance to Dolores and it does not benefit the village.

Camilo shapeshifts. Amazing for party tricks, and like Isabella I'm sure he'd make a killing if he found the right way to market his skill in the city, but there's not a lot of use for him in the village.

The useful ones I'd say are Julieta, who heals, and Antonio who speaks with animals and can help with husbandry.

I'll put it this way, it's very telling that the Madrigals just hang around the house. Luisa is the only one seen working, the others just do their own thing and seem very insular.

finally finishing bleach on the brain and just got to chapter 18, and this part:

“As if she wasn’t still wearing 15th century stays and headdress like a good Tudor woman.”

you have no idea how much that my fashion history obsessed self scream!! yes!!! stays appreciation!! it’s so rare for people to not just call them corsets!! thank you!! attention to detail like this is why you’re one of my favourite fanfic authors 🥰

I know entirely too much about corsets, gotta put that knowledge to use somewhere. Glad you appreciated it, it's really nice of you to say!
