#for those of y'all new to the tag yes these two have been technically canon for a long while

[gumm1defloor]

Vox can understand Velvette just fine. They don't necessarily need to get along all the time, but they have a mutually beneficial contract that guarantees her support in the most efficient way possible, just how they both like it, short and strict and to the point. Vox does not understand Valentino. It drives him unimaginably, disgustingly insane. He knows how to handle him, make no mistake. Valentino is a never-ending powerhouse that wrangles out content from his employees like there's no tomorrow. He's proven himself to be Vox's most lucrative investment yet. He is resourceful, well-connected and most importantly predictable enough to rein in. Because he listens to you, because he needs you.

He is also, undeniably, out of his goddamn mind. Yet you've already invested too much in the corporate empire you've built together and there is no point turning back now that you have him so close to your side. It's OK however! He couldn't possibly be stupid enough to throw away the best partnership deal he's ever had just for the sake of something petty cause -oh, wait - he genuinely might just be that stupid and you never would've guessed because he's so cocksure of his bullshit that 80% of the time it ends up working in his favor anyway.

Fuck his life indeed. The kicker for this of course is that Valentino, genuinely does believe he has struck gold with Vox. Valentino is a clingy, possessive, immature, perverted, sadistic, egotistical man-child with severe rage issues and poor impulse control. No he is not aware of this at all. No he does not know why nobody is able to tolerate him and why every single person he gets close to hates his guts with every inch of their burning rotting souls. All he knows is that hell has now given him a flat faced prince in shining liquid crystal armour, riding on a cash filled horse with promises of power and luxury, who's practically handing him success on a silver platter. Doesn't mean that Val trusts him, doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy seeing him lose his shit. But at the end of the day vox has his back, and as long as Val keeps calling for him, he'll eventually turn up and make everything better. Cause hey if Vox hasn't left him yet for this long he must be doing something right. Right?

#this is why i love fire lady katara. not only bc she would bring new ideology to the fn but bc she and zuko are great rulers together

My Top Posts in 2022:

delicate - chapter 18

In which Katara unleashes a display of power to save the Fire Prince while keeping her promise. But in doing so, lines are crossed that can't be uncrossed...

FYI, I updated the tags, and while I tried not to make anything too graphic, some parts at the beginning may make you squeamish. Nothing like Stranger Things' Season 4 levels of graphic, but still reminiscent in a way.

Lastly, you're not going to like me for this cliffhanger (but just wait until you see chapter 19's - y'all are going to be MAD.)

Anyways, without further ado... enjoy!

delicate - chapter 14

In which Katara and Zuko join her family for a dinner at the Beifong’s, where their pretend courtship will be put to the test against the living lie detector known as Toph Beifong…

AKA, the chapter in which Toph and Suki channel their inner Rachel and Phoebe to figure out what these two pining idiots in denial are hiding, like in the episode of Friends when they find out about Chandler and Monica.

“They think they can mess with us? The mess-ers become the mess-ees!”

(technically Chandler’s line but who’s keeping score?)

and of course:

While poor Sokka (who’s both Joey AND Ross in this scenario) just wants food and for this to all be over with, because this is his best friend and his sister 😩

let’s go back to the start

https://archiveofourown.org/works/36708718

Aang could only stare, rendered speechless as he watched his most loyal companion who he’d given up mastery of the Avatar State for - his forever girl - choosing to side with the Fire Prince instead.

It was all too clear now exactly where Katara’s true loyalties lied, and they weren’t with him.

~*~*~

Or, Aang finally awakens onboard a strange ship a month after the fall of Ba Sing Se to a new world, one where both the Avatar and a traitorous Fire Prince have been declared dead by the Fire Nation.

Now, the pair have no choice but to put aside their differences to form an uneasy alliance. The Avatar must learn to finally let go of his attachment to Katara, while the Fire Prince finds himself surrounded by former enemies who’d just as soon see him dead...

Sequel to Taste of a Poison Paradise.

When the ZK antis are trying to spread their toxicity yet again but you're too busy living your best life shipping ZUTARA and having ✨FUN✨ unlike those lame haters:

So the next time you hear "iT's NoT cAnOn" just tell them to SMILE and thank them for letting us live in their minds rent free for 15+ years 💜

(and yes, I redid the gif from the OG post because that's been bugging me all this time ahahahaha)

and that was it folks! there's the end of taz amnesty! it has been an amazing ride and, unlike balance, one i was actually here for from start to finish in real time. this finale more than lived up to my expectations as far as tying up loose ends and ending on a wonderfully happy note and i cannot wait to see all the art and fic that comes out of it. i love this amazing fandom that’s felt like a home to me these last three years, i can't wait to listen to the next amazing arc the mcelboys conjure up with all of you

see you all again when the ttazz comes out!

AO3 stats meme

Tagged, on a technicality, by @teatotally.

1. how many works do you have on ao3?

So far, 66. I have a few that just need to be uploaded but I haven't been assed to do that, rip me. :p I'm still trying to figure out some stuff, like what of Sagiverse gets to be Ao3'd and what doesn't, I need to send an email about that.

I need to send many emails...

2. what’s your current ao3 word count?

309 105, apparently! I didn't even notice I cleared 300k with Come the Bloodsoaked Flame (Seasons Don't Fear the Reaper), but apparently I did!

3. how many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Four! Saint Seiya, AQW (as it was a crossover), Madoka Magica (also a crossover), and Third Life! I've written more that'll never get posted, like my old Vocaloid, RuneScape, and Percy Jackson fics. :p

4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Blood Against Bone Like Fire And Stone leads us with 167! In second place is Along the Dusty Road Where the Morning Mist Goes with 84, in third is Love Like War with 56, in fourth is Come the Bloodsoaked Flame (Seasons Don't Fear the Reaper) with 48, and in fifth is Green Grows the Asphodel with 38!

Can you tell I don't write popular fandoms? :p

5. do you respond to comments? why or why not.

I do my best to! I have a few that need answers rn, but I really love comments, so I try to answer them~

6. what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

This are two fics that this could go to. Either Blood Against Bone Like Fire And Stone, which has a canon-compliant unhappy ending, and The Rose-Gilded Key, which I wrote specifically for the angst. I would say RGK is worse, because I made that ending up myself, but folks like BBFS a whole lot, so.

7. do you write crossovers? what’s the craziest one you’ve ever written?

If we ignore Sagiverse, which is a mega-crossover, it's either Saint Seiya with AQW or with Madoka, and both are equally acceptable. :p

8. have you ever received hate on a fic?

[cackles in "I write underage incest porn so what do you think buddy"]

9. do you write smut?

Six explicit fics, all but one of which existed specifically to be porn, say yes.

10. have you ever had a fic stolen?

Surprisingly, no! That's what you get for being niche as all hell. :p

11. have you ever co-written a fic before?

Co-written a series? That's Sagiverse, baby. Co-written a work where we both did the first draft? No, but Faolan and I are working on it!

12. what’s your all time favorite ship?

This is where I say Minos/Albafica. You know that's what I'm gonna say. But here's the problem... I discovered a new MiAlba artist on twitter last week, and I genuinely am not interested in their art, not because of style or anything, but because Minos is both 1) male and 2) a top, and wow, Sagiverse!Minos has ruined me, that's the only MiAlba I want anymore.

So we're gonna say Albafica/Minos and specifically where Minos is both a lady and a bottom, and give the fuck up. :p

13. what was the first fandom you wrote for?

RuneScape/Percy Jackson/Minecraft crossover. You don't wanna know.

14. what’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

You want me to choose?? Just??? One???? No I hate you you're the worst. So after considering my entire AO3, I'm going to have to go for a tie between Of Rosethorns & Requiems and So Catch the Honest Tide. And that is only because A Monstrous Manifesto is still a WIP that has not been published. (I could talk about AMM forever. The only person who has access to the plotline spreadsheet is my fiance, Faolan, but y'all are gonna love it.)

I admit this is also because I haven't been able to sit down and write anything Regulus-centric, which is gonna piss a lot of people who like his character off, but I'm gonna have a lot of fun with it. For those concerned: that kid should have major PTSD, and I'm just saying, giving him a hero corruption arc makes him terrifying.

If you read this, you're tagged. Go do it. :D

”#for those of y'all new to the tag yes these two have been technically canon for a long while, #and yes we still have no exact idea why, #I am still of the opinion that Vox clocked Val first in terms of the alliance (for whatever reason known to man), #And Val still till this day has no fuckin clue how he managed to score him and is just winging shit as he goes along, #this is until proven otherwise by canon ofc but still, #No I do not know why I am doing a character analysis of Hazbin Hotel of all things but here we are. #still sincerely curious as to where their bond came from thoughx #yknow outside of physical attraction and shared business ideals, #the only semi logical explanation I have currently is that Valentino still unapologetically thinks of himself as hot shit despite being, #yknow, #Valentino, #which makes him the antithesis of Vox's fragile ego and blatant insecurities. #(and therefor invertedly gives Vox personal gratification for being able to dominate him and control him), #The other possibility was narcissism but that theory is mostly scrapped now the more I watch his interactions with Val in ep2, #anyone willing to respond to please feel free to do so btw been thinking abt this pairing for quite a while, #I think they work very interestingly as a villain couple, #I want Valentino to light vox on fire and dance with him while they burn”
