It started with a women and her son. The women was strong willed, care free, and beautiful. She was elegant and wise. She loved her son deeply and wanted him to be independent and brave. She taught him the ways of the Grisha and she told him stories of how they were ostracized and unwanted from the rest of society. From his mother he learned how to be tough and to stick up for himself. He became very protective of his mother and wanted nothing more for her to be safe and happy. The women one day decided she wanted more for her son. Seeing as a child would want more than just his mother for company, she went into town and sought out a strong Grisha whom she would take to bed.  When the girl was born, the boy knew that he would do anything to keep her safe and happy just like his mother. As she got older she began to show her powers as a Tidemaker differing from her mother and brother. Even though their powers differed, they taught her everything they knew. 
As the boy grew more powerful and gained more control, the girl stayed by his side. He never made a decision without consulting her first and together their grew the second army. Unlike the boy, the girl quickly fit in with all of the other Grisha her age. She ate with them and went to classes with them, even though she was way beyond their knowledge in summoning. She was an extremely social being. As she grew up she became a bigger part in the court. She would often accompany her brother to the Grand Palace and she became an excellent diplomat. She was poised and elegant like her mother and resembled a queen. She was beautiful and quickly caught the eye of many of the boys at the many balls and dinners she would attend at both palaces.
She noticed her brother hovering and did not mind in the slightest for she did not have her eye on any of the boys except for one?
She had met with the royal family many times and quickly became close with the youngest prince because of his witty banter and his playful nature. Them being very close in age, they have hung out together since he was thirteen and her and her brother moved into the  little palace. Other than her brother he was the girl’s closest friend. They often snuck out at night to run through the grounds and play by the lake away from the palace. They confided in each other about their troubles— mainly ranting about their annoying older brothers— and laughed together throughout their growing years. They shared both of their first kisses together and, knowing of her brothers distaste for the girl having a relationship, snuck around the two palaces stealing kisses in empty palace rooms and at their spot along the lake after it was dark. Her brother remained protective of her, and he remained oblivious of their relationship as she promised him she had no interest in anyone. He knew that she was old enough to make her own smart decisions but he was terrified of someone hurting her so he kept her to himself. And hurt was exactly what happened to her

Hello! Are we still able to recommend incest Fanfiction? If so, I have a few I would love to recommend and think others could enjoy as well. There is a lot of Shadow and Bone with a dash of other fandoms. But the Shadow and Bone community has a lot of talented authors that write incest.

Volleyball (NES)
Developed/Published by: Pax Softnica, Nintendo R&D4 / Nintendo Released: 21/07/1986 Completed: n/a Completion: Played it as long as I could stand.
Nintendo’s sport output for the Famicom and NES, by 1986, has been bad. There’s absolutely no way of getting around that, and Volleyball, frankly, doesn’t change that at all. Coming three years into the system’s life, at first glance this is so bare bones–and volleyball such a niche sport (sorry, huge volleyball fans!)–that you would almost assume this was made earlier (say, around the time of Soccer) and considered simply too weak to be put out as a cartridge, so dumped out for Famicom Disk System just to bulk up the numbers years later. After all, it could be sold more cheaply, so consumers might not feel totally ripped off (especially if they just chose to re-write the disk after 20 minutes…)
Except… that’s not actually the true story, and if you dig a little deeper, and spend a little more time with Volleyball, you might discover it’s been a bit misunderstood... even if it is, honestly, still rubbish. But let’s take it in context.
According to Kyoto Report (where, sadly, they don’t link their sources, so keep that mind) this was pitched to Nintendo by Pax Softnica based on their earlier MSX title “Attack 4 Women Volleyball” after being turned down by SEGA, and Nintendo R&D4 produced and created the graphics and sound (which is certainly why it’s so visually similar to Soccer.) This actually led to a long (and ultimately quite fruitful!) relationship with Pax Softnica, and the why of that absolutely won't be immediately apparent based on the way you’ll almost certainly experience a game like this (booting it up on Switch Online, not reading any instructions, etc.) because like Nintendo’s other sports titles, Volleyball is structurally basic in the extreme. You can play male or female volleyball teams (which seems to just change the speed) in training or a simple exhibition match that asks you to win three sets of first to 15–which takes forever. Oddly, the game doesn’t even give you an option of which country you want to play, sticking you with USA (or Japan, obviously, if the FDS version) and has a slightly odd selection of opposing teams including Cuba and Tunisia. 
(I actually looked up the 1986 Men and Women’s Volleyball World Championships–which, possibly, this was timed for–and the teams in this game aren’t, notably, the standout teams of the tournaments.)
The play is initially rather strange too. Rather than go for a football game like “you switch to the player closest to the ball” they took a sneaky shortcut by instead going for a sort of table football-esque system where you control a “row” of players closest to the ball. This means that if you’re moving the players at the front, you are moving three players in a synchronised fashion, though it’s extremely confusing.
This is sneaky because it allows Pax Softnica to avoid coding any teammate AI at all! All your teammates just stand still while you’re moving around, and as in volleyball you can’t use a single player to juggle a ball more than once, this requires you be extremely aware of what you’re doing.
The other thing that you might miss, or misunderstand, is just how rallies and spiking the ball works. When you start to play it’s easy to assume the only button you use is A, but Nintendo’s Famicom 40th Anniversary website for the game explicitly points out there’s a fair amount of strategy and input you can have, with the B button and pushing directions allowing you all sorts of effect on where the ball goes.
So in a weird way, Volleyball is actually a lot more sophisticated than it seems–even if it uses a confusing, hacky way to control your team. You could almost imagine this being one of those sports games that because it’s so simple it ends up timeless and amazing.
This is not true. While Volleyball uses a shadow to make sure you know where the ball is going, the viewpoint, imprecise movement and the extremely tight collision detection make this an absolute chore to play. I’ll be honest, though I booted this up several times, I got bored by the time I got to about… 6 points against Tunisia, even if I was eventually pulling off sweet spikes and everything. It’s completely possible this is fun if you play it against another player and you both get really into the minutia of how to play it, so I just can’t discount this completely, but it certainly doesn’t feel worth the effort.
Will I ever play it again? Heck no. Final Thought: As there is something here that makes it a cut above total shovelware, I can see why Nintendo might feel pleased enough with Pax Softnica to keep working with them. And although there’s almost no information on this game in the west at all, this seems to have an alright reputation in Japan, coming 9th in the list of sports games voted for by Japanese players in the 40th Anniversary celebrations. Though Tennis and Baseball come in at 3rd and 4th, and the phrasing of the question to me reads as “if you say sports game… [what’s game you think of]” so that actually might not mean anything at all.
What really probably tipped the scales is that, supposedly, Volleyball sold 2,150,000 copies. This seems bananas to me, because the Famicom Disk System only sold around twice that. I guess it’s possible, but it therefore ranks as the 25th top selling game on the NES/Famicom of all, which… you’d assume people would be building chairs out of their collection of Volleyball disks like people did with Moero! Pro Yakyuu carts (somehow I can’t find any record of this on the internet, but they definitely did–that link to a game store full of copies will have to do.) This might be a quirk of the Famicom Disk System though–people may have been buying this cheaply from Disk Writer kiosks and… I don’t know, forgetting they had it and buying it four times. It would explain why I don’t remember shops with hundreds of copies, anyway.
Every Game I’ve Finished 14>24 will be released in print on October 21st, 2024! You can pre-order it on kindle, or epub/pdf now. You can also support Every Game I’ve Finished on ko-fi! You can pick up digital copies of exp., a zine featuring all-exclusive writing at my shop, or join as a supporter at just $1 a month and get articles like this a week early.

Introducing - ‘Lucie Lantsov’
 “You’ll ache. And you’re going to love it. It will crush you. And you’re still going to love all of it.”
The caged bird of Os Alta, they called her. Lovely and delicate, kept in her gilded cage and appeased with books and dresses and all manner of pretty things. There were rumors, of course, stories shared among the inhabitants of Ravka regarding the king’s niece and why she never left, why she was kept so carefully shut away, even when the royal and family left Os Alta in the same in favor of their lake palace. 
The truth is, Lucie Lantsov is one of Ravka’s most well-kept secret. Favored by her uncle, the King, for a power that is mysterious to all of those around her. Lucie is a Grisha, but a Grisha unlike any other. They have no class of Grisha for what she is and no other Grisha to compare her powers too. Some call her a caged bird, but there is another name for her as well. 
The Prophet. 
Lucie possesses the ability to foretell the future. A fun parlor trick, to be sure, but it runs deeper than that. Within her, she possesses the ability to see the turns of major battles, the disastrous ends of potential alliances, the tragedy of love stories gone wrong. Because, though she can see what might happen, the future is not set in stone, and the knowledge of what might happen gives her the ability to change it. It’s a useful ability, one that her Uncle values over nearly every other Grisha ability. But, it doesn’t improve Lucie’s ability to fight, she can’t beat down an enemy with it. And why would he want her to when she can be kept in Os Alta, the most well-protected city in Ravka. There, Lucie will be safe. 
Summers are spent wandering the empty halls of the palace alone, not welcomed among the other Grisha or in the Little Palace because of who she is, the little bird with a foot in each world, born with a silver spoon in her mouth and every advantage placed in her hands. But it is here, in these empty halls, alone and desperate for companionship, that she first caught the interest of the Darkling. The rest, as they say, is history.
“Doesn’t it sound lovely beyond belief?”

I don’t know where I got this idea but I thought The Raven Cycle was a story about boys in boarding school with like a murder mystery edge.

Can you share some facts about your Shadow and Bone OCs? Which faceclaims and love interests? 👀
@dancingsunflowers-ocs 💜
‎‎yes ofc!! i have them all planned out but not posted
Tumblr media
➤ Vanka Dostoevsky (fc: kate fleetwood) She is the matriarch of the family. She is a Heartrender that has served the Darkling for decades. She is aware of his true motives and is supportive. Her goal has been to have Grisha children to better serve the Darkling. Vanka has had three husbands and they all have "mysteriously" passed on.
‎‎➤ Adrika Dostoevsky (fc: alyssa sutherland) As the eldest daughter, she has had the most pressure. She is an Inferni, though her powers are barely valued by the Darkling. He utilizes her beauty and seduction to gather information from others. Adrika is in love with the Darkling but he does not reciprocate. She is aware of his truth but she serves him loyally.
‎‎➤ Nikita Dostoevsky (fc: hannah new) She is seen as a disappointment in the family for not being Grisha. Despite this, she has become a remarkable swordswoman and has become fluent in various languages. She has yet served the Darkling, mostly because Vanka has assured him that she would be of no use, but she is to be summoned soon. Nikita is vaguely aware of the Darkling's true nature and strongly dislikes him.
‎‎➤ Anya Dostoevsky (fc: gaia weiss) As the youngest, she is protected by Adrika and Nikita. Neither of them wants her to serve the Darkling, however, Vanka does not care. She is a Squaller, a powerful one at that, and is extremely optimistic. Anya has no idea who the Darkling really is and believes she will become a hero. She has yet to serve.
They all have the same last name because they have taken their mother's maiden name.
Additionally, I plan to reveal Nikita as a unique Grisha that can control electricity (including in the human body) and lightning. This will be called Elerialki and she will wear blue.
I'm unsure about s/os, not really sure where it'll go, but I may have Nikita get with an OC.
That's about all I have planned!

Don't apologise! I love learning about new OCs! 🥰
Oh, I imagine Kseniya is going to be soooooo conflicted! Tough road ahead.
And I do like that bit about Inessa's survival instincts!
😲 my first thought when I began reading about Iyana was "She's like Jesper". Love the guy. And she sounds so interesting!
And Czarina! Veeery intriguing. She's like a female Darkling! Real badass villain. 😎
Thank you so much for sharing! 😊
OK, I've recently fallen into the Grishaverse (been years since I read a book in just two days), SO . . . tell me all about your main SaB OCs! :-D
yesss!! i need to get my butt back into the books myself!!
i’m honored you wanna know about them 🥰🥰 be warned i made too many lmao and i might’ve rambled a bit srry!!
my main focus is kseniya kozar, darkling li, my heartrender bby, her entire story is basically her having her loyalties split between her love for the darkling and well, common sense. i guess you could say she’s a spy but not really?? idk it’s complicated. her personality… she’s always very focused on furthering herself which is her best and worst trait because she sometimes pushes herself too far, very chill person, good at finding how people work
Tumblr media
next is inessa volkova, an escaped presumed stolen grisha who gets pulled back into things at the little palace when she bumps into mal, pairing alina and mal! i put her through a lot, with the whole constant hiding and running away alone for years, never trusting anyone, having identity issues and being very empathetic but having ridiculous survival instincts in the middle of a war
Tumblr media
next is my crows!! i technically have two but iyana drozdova is the one i gave the main POV so i’ll be focusing on her!! she’s a grisha too but doesn’t use her gifts too often so she isn’t as powerful as my other ocs but she knows how to work a dagger so like she’s still pretty badass imo. she’s friends with jesper which is how she gets involved w the crows, and her story is just so angsty, she had such a horrible childhood she repressed memories of it and the ones she does remember is … not good. she’s basically a thief and occasionally an assassin for hire.
Tumblr media
OK LAST ONE ((technically i have three more but they aren’t mains and i don’t wanna keep you here forever))
this one is my first villain oc czarina, paired with the darkling. her main goals are to rule ravka even if it’s in the shadows, and to make the darkling life harder 💖 she got into the king and queen’s good graces enough to be assigned to protect the queen. when alina comes into the picture she helps turn alina against the darkling because she loves chaos, thinks it’s funny, and thinks they’ll destroy each other or at least one of them will take care of the other enough for her to deal with whoever is left standing. she genuinely wants to make ravka a better place so no grisha child goes through what she did — her whole family were killed off one by one as a kid by and she saw her parents brutally murdered — but she like the darkling she goes about in a way that’s … questionable. she’s very evil and manipulative i love her sm.
Tumblr media
tysm for the ask sorry for the ramble !!!
