Stelle takes up crafting with metal shortly after their time in the Xianzhou and aiding in dealing with Phantylia. She was mostly finding something to do when she couldn't get to sleep, but she also found herself drawn to the the jewelry crafters. They made such pretty pieces, and while Stelle isn't much for wearing jewelry, she wanted so badly to make something beautiful for everyone on the express! Of course most of her early creations weren't really wearable, but after a few months of practice she created her first presentable piece, a delightful necklace with a blizzardy light blue gemstone, a silver chain that she presented to March. After that there was no hiding her new hobby! She made jade dragon earrings with onyx black bases for Dan Heng, a beautiful rose gold bracelet with ruby gems for Miss Himeko, and Mr. Yang received two silver rings, with obsidian gems in them.

Stelle got exceptionally good at crafting with metal within a few months time, she now sells pieces online for a few extra credits here and there. Of course. The amount she makes rarely makes up for the price she pays for materials, thankfully though Pom Pom got her a good trade price with the space station, and with all the help the Astral Express has done for them, Asta was happy to oversee that Stelle always gets the best deal possible!

She loves crafting with metal, she even makes little robotic figurines. Nothing actually mechanical though, she creates puppets with the metals and paints and decorates them, and she adores being able to show people the creations! And of course for any holidays, birthdays, etc. Stelle gets deep into her craft so she can make gifts for those close to her.

SHIT im late but here we are

name: polar

member since: I lurked for a few years without an account before I made one somewhere around 2022

favorite part of canon: its kinda hard to explain but tamlin feels the most real. He's messy he's awkward he's emotional he's an exposed nerve he's kind he cares he tries his best he fucks up sometimes and just keeps trudging along. He didn't want to be a high lord but he is and he makes do with what he can.

favorite headcanon: not really a hc but tamlin isn't an angry guy he just feels everything more intensely, he just has a harder time masking his anger. He's really good at masking when he's happy from practice when he was abused as a child. If he showed happiness, vulnerability, what made him happy was ripped away from him by his brothers and father.

main ships: my favorite ship is actually Tamlin/Andras, one villainized by the narrative and one that haunts the narrative. However, I tend to write anything that's with tamlin like tamsand tamcien neslin etc.

main work: Momento Mori(CHECK OUT @thrumugnyr 's FANART ITS THE COOLEST SHIT THE TALENT IS UNGODLY), Giggle at a Funeral, Take me out, I'm out of my head of my heart of my mind, and a few others I forgot about at the moment

Where can I find you: Here on tumblr is where I post all my stuff but I do have an ao3 that I'll get around to actually using one of these days

Tags: I'm so fucking late that I'm pretty sure everyone has been tagged already but feel free to join in if you see this and havent already

Welcome to pro-Tamlin! (You must have a brain and know how to use it.)

Because the greeting post yesterday elicited quite the dazzling response, I thought it would be a good idea to start an introduction thread! If you consider yourself a part of our community, reblog and share your details. We are excited to see more people returning to Spring and giving it the love it deserves. Long Live the High Lord of Spring!

(Feel free to replace my answers.)

- Name : CeCe

- Member since: I first read ACOTAR in December, so officially then. I did not find the community until a few months after hearing the spoilers for what happens to our beloved Tam. It was my personal choice to stop reading the books and continue writing Tam’s story my own way. He deserves better!

But, officially, I believe I arrived in early March.

- Favorite part of canon: I genuinely enjoy the first book, despite its quality issues and lack of consistency. It’s a guilty pleasure read for sure. My favorite part of Tamlin’s storyline or character is truthfully his good heart. No matter how much people villainize him, the text itself fights to prove that he has a good heart — despite that it does not always lead him perfectly.

- Favorite headcanon: I have so many; but right now it really is that Tamlin is terrified of thunderstorms.

- Main ships: Tamlin / happiness. Feylin. Tamcien. FeyTamCien. He’s easy to love and easy to ship.

- Main work: Fiction! Currently a retelling of the first book from his perspective.

- Where can I find you? Under this URL for all relevant fiction posting and at @thehighlordofspring for roleplaying Tam.

Tagging: @lorcandidlucienwill @jennyarchibald @springandstarlight @sonics-atelier @achaotichuman @bookishfeylin @fourteentrout @goforth-ladymidnight to keep this going!

Do you have any catradora fic recs?

i am MADE for this, okay im gonna pick some non-popular ones bc who havent seen them got rec'd a thousand times? let's fucking go:

Oneshots (<5k):

1. blood by lesbians_harold, pre s5 nightmare angsts have a different Spice to it <3

2. Houses Will Build Themselves by jockvillagersonly, somft domesticity, adora builds a drawer

3. but at least the pain will last by TurtleTotem, i throw you on a loop! itsa angst again :) i love soulmate aus but soulmate aus when they're enemies? muah

4. we didn't start the fire (it lived in us) by blackranger (robpatFF), oh how i've thought about you days and nights, op'd adora is very good for your health actually, i've talked about it more here

5. Memory by CabbageCommander, yes i've rec'd s1 angst, s2 angst, now it's s3 angst >:) this fic urged me to do a gifset, one of the only 2 i've ever made, the impact 😌

6. When you’re away (losing sleep) by ClaraZorEl, i love character studies cant you tell

7. Gold, Falling from the ceiling by oliwellwhocares, hair, and the feels

8. how a blessing feels just like a curse by artemiswords, oh turtle you said you dont like angst that much! now explain your bookmarks pls. infected!she-ra :)

9. being chill, being chill with you (oh it kills, they ain’t chill at all) by emdashcomma, how does it feel to see our two favorite dumbasses dancing around each other but like, through the horde kids POV

10. your catra by bogfenwetland, or adora's fight with prime hive mind catra

Oneshots (>5k):

1. Eclipse by theamberissubtle, i guess this is canon divergence since it's from 2019, but great post-war fics are timeless and come in all shapes and sizes

2. Gold, White and Red, hnnnng im feral over goddess adora post s5, see me losing it over the fic here

3. Time to Go by elowen_p, as much as i like canon divergence, im not usually one for s1 cd fics. This is the exception, bc it's slightly Fucked Up and my guilty hc is that everyone in the horde is fucked up in various ways and degrees. adora remains in the horde, but at what cost?

4. tell me (you won't leave me) by insanetwin, post s5 catra submits herself to the mortifying ordeal of being known in order to enjoy the rewards of being loved

5. want me down to the marrow by auberigine, i am rubbing my hands all over s3 aus

6. a rumor, a legend, a mystery by nuttyshake, anastasia au, im gonna be honest with you, i havent watched anastasia for reasons, this one still melted my heart though

7. how can anybody have you by lavendersgreen (M), horde lord! catra. i almost forgot this one is angst angst disguised as fluff lol

8. brave face talk so lightly (hide the truth) by nuttyshake, this is the second time i rec'd this author in this post so im gonna do you a favor and add their tumblr, @/clacing, okay no more angst and its cousins this fic is pure yearning and fluff i promise

9. Meet Me At The Finish Line by clottedcreamfudge (E), haha dumbasses, you should also check out their other spop fics, namely the galling stones series lmao

10. baby, i'm a house on fire (and i wanna keep burning) by wittchers, i was about to stop with these but i cant scroll past this, i think this one is popular with the early fandom actually, medieval arranged marriage au with lord catra, sexy :)

Multi-chapters:

1. 82 Hours by burstofpeony, dancer au where they also got separated bc drama, the usual, but now on a train. i read this fic in one sitting i think

2. notes on fashion by slowdown, im adding this one bc i have taste

3. dangerous woman by n7punk, i KNOW i know, who havent known them?! but this hc is superior babes!

4. on another note im gonna rec on the other side + their and they were roommates collection too. at the 3rd reread im considering this is my comfort fic, if comfort fics are the kind that makes you roll around on your bed and take several breaks to calm down from the dumbassery.

5. wild things by sevensevan, Shadow Weaver sends Catra into the woods to die. Catra doesn't. tbh i'd like to read more about this since im soft for aus where catradora leave the horde on their own, it's still good where it's at tho

Im pulling my bookmarks out for y'all except the almost pure spicy ones that i wont name in this post haha. read these and you might just be able to pinpoint my fic taste :)
