A lot of cis people may not want to hear this, but here goes:

You are going to have more in common with trans people who have a similar gender identity to you than you think. Trans people are reliable narrators of their own experiences, and whether you like it or not, we will have similar or even identical experiences to yours. Cis people don't have a monopoly over their gender or the experiences people have as a result of their gender.

"Hello?" Scriabin said, walking closer, careful not to startle the injured creature. One golden eye snapped open to look at him.

"Leave," it rumbled, voice hoarse and weak. Scriabin froze. He certainly hadn’t expected it to speak.

“What?” He blinked, trying to process.

"Get off my territory," Edgar growled. "I'm warning you."

"This is your island?" Scriabin inquired softly. His voice instinctively dropped to a gentle timber, not wanting to offend or startle the creature. He was smart enough to recognize the dangers of pressing in on an injured animal.

It all made sense then, why there were stories of good fishing. Of lost sailors finding this island, but never returning. Which he had chalked up to as a fable, because honestly if people didn't make it back from the island, how would there be stories? But seeing this feathered beast of myth made him worry if he was about to become part of those legends.

"It is. Now begone human, before I. . . " Edgar replied, his breathing labored as he shifted to look his way directly. Scriabin's eyes widened at the sight. Deep gashes tore across the harpy's face, dried trails crusting down his cheeks.

"Hey, that doesn't look so good," Scriabin observed, taking a half step closer...

Ok, @metamorphmigus and me made another Au!!! (surprise) and decided to start a little story with that premise, which basically Edgar is a harpy and Scriabin is a pirate, they both get stranded on an island, if you want to know more, please read Skybound Serenade in AO3! This is a picture of chapter 1! I will try to illustrate each chapter as Meta updates it ♥ Although this is an Au, Scriabin still belongs to @zarla-s!

I think stanning them is the single most boring thing you can do to a character.

Like, I love Iruka. Iruka's my blorbo from my manga since my teens. He's a caring adult who used to be a conflicted kid hiding his sorrow with laughter, what's there not to like? Him speaking his mind about the chuunin exam spoke to me for extremely relatable reasons. He's my projection character.

And you know what? There's nothing more interesting to me than exploring his faults. Please let's discuss his lack of self-control, getting so riled up during the chuunin exam nominations. Let's talk about his failures with regards to Sasuke, who had good grades and didn't act out so Iruka didn't pay him much mind even though Sasuke should have been flagged as a traumatized child. Iruka playing favorites. Iruka using his connections to keep playing favorites because he's worried... about his favorite. Iruka not fitting the shinobi mold. Iruka being lame. Iruka who spent years being a stern teacher to Naruto and apparently didn't think worth mentioning that he saw and appreciated Naruto's efforts until it was almost too late. Iruka failing.

Anyway, stanning is the single most boring and unproductive and dishonest thing you can do to a character

so for fun im working on a statistical report on the mariluke ao3 scene. this data is not final because i wanna put the real data cutoff at may 26, 2024, so that itll include any new fics made for @marilukeweek buuuuuut i wanted to do a preemptive scan of the data so far.

i did a scan of fics posted per month to see if there are any surges or trends and it's pretty cool. mariluke economy seems to surge from oct-nov, and then we tend to shrivel up and die in the summer months usually

in terms of ratings so far, mariluke is a horny bunch. not all of us, but a good big chunk, HAHA

also, for funsies, here's an excerpt from the actual report WIP. lines are highlighted in orange because this is all subject to change with new fics thatll come in up until may 26, but i just wanted to share because of the last paragraph. congrats marius!!

aaaaand as a last tidbit, here is the list of every unique mariluke author as is recorded by ao3 as of april 19, 2024, along with the number of mariluke fics theyve written . i hope to see some new writers grace this list once marilukeweek rolls around ;w;

“The Dollhouse” — a dialogue poem between Chuck and Metatron, for today’s prompt of the same name!

this poem was inspired by a good handful of other things, namely Supernatural 11x20 "Don't Call Me Shurley", "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen, "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" by Kate DiCamillo, and a philosophical dialogue between Socrates and one of his students, Euthyphro :)

what do you fucking mean that's how charlie dies. THAT'S HOW CHARLIE DIES??? i mean i know the show has a penchant for killing off every character who's not a winchester brother or an angel of thursday but good god. what the fuck. charlie was such a good and enjoyable recurring character, and she had such a fandom impact that i've seen, and she's only around for THREE SEASONS?? (sidebar: it's amazing she has the presence she does for only being around for a couple episodes in the long run!) but: was this necessary? and she just dies offscreen after her skills are utilized to progress the plot of decoding the book of the damned?? oh my god. what in the actual fuck. i'm finding myself getting genuinely very upset at her death. she did not fucking deserve that. and i can absolutely see why the fan response to her death is what it is now. completely fucking unjustified and throwaway and useless.

Serbian Folk Religion in 100 Terms // Narodna Religija Srba u 100 Pojmova (1991) - Dušan Bandić

"Dr. Dušan Bandić (1938-2004) was a professor of ethnology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade and for a time the head of the Department of National Ethnology and Anthropology.'' - in my attempt to make more sources on ex-yu culture accessible, i've begun to scan and share some of the good material i've read! due to some expressed interest, here is a segment on vampires and watermills (which are connected to vampires)! - for folks who can read serbo-croatian and cyrillic, you can read the direct scans from the book here and for those of you who can't, i've translated the pages into english myself and you can read them here. hope some of you enjoy reading about vampires before they were sexy! if you are interested in reading any of the other segments, you can find a table of contents here and let me know which you'd like to see first. (note: while im fluent in english and put a lot of effort into these translations, i'm by no means a professional translator. my primary focus was that the facts were translated correctly and relayed what people believed)

Here’s a little fanfic snippet because I was shipping Cariad with @rene-hl-trashcan’s baby boy Riz

Ship: Cariad x Riz

warnings: tooth rotting fluff

WELCOME HOME

“Rizy, Rizy, where are you- I’m all sat here waiting for yo-Riz!” Cariad had been swinging her legs childishly on the porch, saying her rhyme in a sing-song voice as she waited for Riz to come home- before she saw his familiar figure coming down the path home. She immediately hopped off the porch and ran up to him, hugging him tightly. He absolutely dwarfed her- him being 6”4 and her being a mere 5”3. “Mmmm, hi there ghost boy!” She said excitedly, tugging at his sleeve to indicate she wanted him to bend down so she could smother him with kisses. The dark haired mans eyes softened at the sight of the sweet girl who was the embodiment of sunshine. He gave her a gentle head pat before bent down with a small chuckle so she could kiss him. Once on his forehead, once on each cheek, once on his nose, his chin, his eyebags and finally his lips. He picked her up like she weighed nothing more than a child and carried her inside.

Once they got inside, she slipped from his arms and helped him take his coat off before she noticed a rip. She ran her finger along the tear and felt something damp. “Riz…” she started, before she noticed the large bleeding gash down his arm. “Ekrizdis Mors! What happened?!” “Cariad Mors, I dunno, some asshole jumped me with a knife, I didn’t think it was a big deal.” He shrugged nonchalantly. Typical Riz. Since he couldn’t feel pain, he often underestimated his injuries. “It is a very big deal, actually!” But Cariad was hogwarts matron so she knew the severity of it. She lead him to the couch and sat him down before getting her wand from the kitchen. She sat on his lap, straddling him, as she took his arm in her hands, murmuring a healing incantation and coaxing some wiggenweld down his throat. “Are these ‘assholes’ still with us?” She asked lightly as she kissed up the scabbing injury. He gave a rare chuckle and rolled his eyes, “of course not.” He started absently playing with her fingers, before taking off his gloves and raising her hand to his lips, trailing sweet kisses along her hand and fingers- starting with her knuckles and trailing down the middle of her fingers, crimson eyes locked on her light green-bordering blue-ones. Cariad was practically swooning, unable to stop her blush. “Ghostie…” she said weakly, before noticing how he payed extra attention to her ring finger and her heart gave a flutter. “What is it, my dear?” He asked without ceasing his assault on her hand. “I love you.” She whispered. His eyes widened a little before softening- they were so hopeless for eachother. Sunshine, and a boy moments from death. He looked so beautiful to her, his pale face illuminated by firelight. His eyes fluttered closed in peace as she pressed her hand to his cheek. Cariad gently caressed it with her thumb. “I love you too…” he murmured back, pressing a kiss to her forehead. Cariad hummed in contentment. She adjusted on his lap and cuddled into him, the moment just peaceful and domestic. She always wore her hair in those little girl pigtails, held together with light green ribbons. Once they’d started dating, Cariad had tied one of her ribbons around his wrist. She was currently tracing the satin around his wrist absently and tenderly. Everything she did for him was tender.

THIS IS ONLY PART 1 DW WE HAVE MORE PLOT BUNNIES

[13thdoctor]

the master is femme. (yes, missy, but not just missy.) I feel and believe so deeply in my soul that koschei, the master, all iterations, is femme. sexuality is irrelevant, whether she's gay or he's lesbian or they're ace etc. that timelord is femme!

obviously, missy is a femme fatale. elegant, beautiful, villainous woman. he's regenerated into a form where he's expected to be feminine, and he does what he does best--has fun with it. turns it into a PERFORMANCE. this isn't isolated to gomez' master, though. everything has always been about performance with the master. her villainy, from the start, has been a show for the doctor above all else. her schemes are designed with showmanship in mind, not efficiency. when the master steps into the room, you WILL look at her. she'll make sure of it. if you don't turn your head yourself, she'll turn it for you. she's going to ruin your life and you will watch and you will obey because she is your master and she is THE master. missy's appearance and behavior are as striking as ever--elegant, fanciful, dramatic--but this is true for all iterations. think back to delgado's master, how striking she was. how she performed. the master cares about her presentation, it's like, 80% of her villainy. she needs to stand out, it needs to be showy, unnecessary, and creative in its evil.

even simm's master, the painfully unstable, deluded, grandiose self that was resurrected starving & naked--who threw on the closest hoodie and eagerly tore apart a rotisserie chicken with her bare hands--took the time to do her eyeliner once she collected herself! found himself a nice suit, too. brought back that striking appearance. (I think it's important to note the difference between harold saxon's suit [a disguise] & the suit she wore for herself. saxon's suit is far less fashionable in my opinion.)

SHE'S FEMME!!!!!!!!!!!!
