A Giant Icicle

During my final year of college, it was a bitterly cold winter and one my classes was upstairs. From the hallway on that floor you could get out to the balcony, which had a great view of the water. Not that anyone wanted to, though. It was, as I said, a bitterly cold winter. But there was a leak around a chain out there, and it formed this gorgeous work of nature that was well worth getting a runny nose and cold fingers over.

Taken over a couple of days, all photos are mine, edited for colour and contrast. I also rarely use flash in photography, but did so in some of the photos here as it brought out some of the subtler markings in the ice.

I think we need to take a page from the fleetwood mac fans and re-sensitize ourselves to how crazy it is to write songs about your breakup while the breakup is happening in a band with the person who you're breaking up with and then performing said breakup songs with said person

TTS theory about the Moon! Varian AU

I think that when Varian got arrested after the events of season 1, we couldn't see how he experienced the dungeons of Corona since it was mostly focused on Rapunzel travelling around with her friends. Still, when we did see Varian in season 3 he joined with the Saporian but what if in the moonstone au where he had his moonstone powers and his hair stripe glowed and then turned the same colour as the said hairtsripe and controlled the black rocks during the time in prison since the rocks took a toll on him and the guards put cuffs like what Elsa wore.

Well, unlike Varian's traditional handcuffs he got when he was getting arrested. They are specifically designed for him to not be able to control things, while it is an au and Varian's hair stripe is from alchemy incident. I think it would be interesting concept, don't you think?

Just beat Gascoiiiiiiiiigne

The farming really did help, I took the time to do some of the challenges I thought up last night and it was a good time! Kept me entertained as I ran around in circles, and it motivated me to target the big guys for extra echoes. Bought the axe and was able to upgrade my gun!

I even managed to play the music box this time, which I think was vital to beating him. It's hard to tell what he's doing when I'm in close, cuz of all the blood spray and frenetic movement, so I went for a more hit and run tactic than I usually do - I often sacrifice health to land big hits, which is absolutely coming back to bite me if I don't fix it soon. Already has a bit with Gascoigne.

I struggled a lot with the beast phase again, but this time I didn't attack at the start and instead let myself be chased around so he'd destroy enough of the graves to level the playing field. Made it MUCH easier when I was safely able to disengage after a strike and quite literally gave me space to heal.

And!! I got a visceral finish, and that felt AWESOME.

I pull out so many random facts about the making of Lord of the Rings that people usually respond with, 'how do you even know that?!'

oh, friend.

my brother, a most pretentious lotr fan, snatched up the extended edition hot off the shelf and for weeks it was the only thing on the tv all day long. I've seen every commentary, every special feature . . . twice. maybe more. I didn't have a choice.

"Alastair sighed. Thomas wondered if he was cold stand­ing about with his sleeves rolled up, but de­cided not to men­tion it be­cause Alastair had lean, mus­cu­lar fore­arms. And maybe the cold didn’t bother him any­way."

Am I the only one who started to sing "Let it go" after the last part...? 🤣

What horror trope are you?

AUs and some other folks under the cut.

Phoenix, Sparrow, Sierra:

the monster

it was not your fault– at first, at least. you can not help being the way you are. and even if you could, would you choose to change? they met you with torches raised and screaming mouths, the only choice you had was to flee. but you will not stay away forever. they whisper your name in fear, and you will make sure you hurt them just as much as they hurt you.

The Commander, Mira (both aus):

the sacrifice

a knife to your back is your first memory– it will also be your last. you cannot help but let things into your heart, such is your nature. time and time again, however, they hurt you and leave you to rot. but your heart remains open, and you continue to let more in. is it kindness, at that point, or is it sacrifice?

Sommer, Wolf:

the ghost

death is not the end for everyone. it certainly was not the end for you. something within you tethers you here, like a heavy chain, and keeps you from well-deserved rest. love, rage, hunger, fear– do you even remember what it was? you wander here, awake, and your body lies below, asleep. maybe someone will find your disturbed grave and grant you a proper ending.

Dead Fae Walking:

the lover

love has brought you to this place, and it will not let you leave. fear clutches you, constricts you, and it will have you killed– and yet, it is still no match for the bounty of your heart. you will try as hard as you can to protect the object of your affections. evil is nothing in the face of your warmth. even if you are successful in protecting your lover, that does not guarantee your own survival. your heart has doomed you, but what greater death is there than dying for love?

Voitto:

the haunted house

decrepit and falling apart at the seams; time has not been kind to you, has it? termites have nestled in your bones, and stray cats find comfort in your sinews. you may be victim to time and erosion, but your abandoned corpse remains a refuge for unwanted things. vermin and ghosts thank you. what greater kindness can there be than offering shelter?
