Okay so I finally solved the number sequence and…..

It says: Love is Power, Love is Weakness, Love will fall. 💀

Like miss Jennifer, I’m not really liking the implications of those words. Like what do you mean love will fall, now I’m I’m actually scared for what’s about to happen in Glorious Rivals 😬

I also searched up the word phase and found this.

“Even the strongest love can eventually fade or crumble.”

WHY WOULD SHE PUT THAT IN THE HINT FOR GLORIOUS RIVALS!!!!! IM ACTUALLY GONNA HAVE A STROKE, LIKE WHAT IS SHE GONNA DO 😭😬💀

Also I swear if something happens to Avery or Jameson I will be driving my car off a cliff 😭

If anyone has any thoughts or theories about this please share🙏

I think am gonna need a support group when Glorious Rivals comes out.

I don't know if this idea has been brought up before but:

Dp x dc writing prompt where Mr. Lancer is Jason Todd's false identity while going on a long term under cover mission. He's completely disguised himself and let's his literary nerd flag fly as the English teacher/vice principal of the local high school for his investigation (investigating the mad scientist supervillains in the making Jack & Maddie perhaps?).

The mission rapidly goes off the rails as ghosts start showing up to cause chaos and he realizes one of his students is actually the new out of his depths hero Phantom.

The first time Red came over to the Charming’s home:

Chloe, entering the living room with tear stains on her shirt looking slightly angry: Anyone want to tell me why I found Red in the hall crying?

Ella, Charming, and Chad looking nervous: . . .

Chloe, agitated, scaring everyone: Well? Anyone have any explanations for me?

Charming: Well.. your mother complimented Red on-

Chloe, mood immediately switching to calm: That’d would explain it! Oh, my Red just overwhelmed- [Turns around and leaves the room continuing to talk to herself about how it all makes sense now, going back to find Red again]

Ella, Charming, and Chad: . . .

Chad: Well that was unusual-

Ella: Is it just me or was your sister sort of scaring me moments ago Chad? She looked upset.

Charming full well understanding what’s going on here, knowing Chloe inherited a Charming family trait: I think she was just being rather protective over her “friend”.

Ella and Chad, not understanding what this trait is as they don’t have it: ????

My take on the first Urgal bonded dragon.

[erinwantstowrite]

How do you feel about people binding personal copies of your works?

I have been reading Lof, and you are such an amazing writer that it blows my mind. When Lof is eventually finished, I would absolutely love to (with permission and loads of credit to you) bind a hardcover copy for personal reading . Reading through this fic has been such an emotional journey and I would love to be able to hold a physical copy. I was also thinking about incorporating some of the beautiful art you've done of the story into the pages of a book, that way the art was next to the scene you were reading. Again to be super clear this would just be something I'd make for myself to read, no monetary gain and tons of credit to you for the story and art!

Completely understandable whatever your answer may be, just wanted to ask your thoughts and let you know how much I've loved your writing!!

yeah that's perfectly fine!! i'm so glad you love LoF enough to do something as sweet as this, that's so amazing to me!! i'm fine with people binding their own copies for personal use- as long as no one is trying to use websites that could get LoF into trouble (i.e. trying to sell it, or paying for it, etc) then it's all cool with me!

"fourth of july" by sufjan stevens + "frozen in time" by owen beattie and john geiger + "sir john franklin's last arctic expedition: a medical disaster" by richard bayliss + the death of john hartnell

you know. when your brother dies of the same illness as your father did a decade ago. and you have to bury him in your shirt in the freezing cold a million miles from home. and then abandon his grave to walk to your own death.

SPOILERS FOR DT CH2 EP16 !!

Okkk.. now that I'm looking at this sprite-

I can't tell if this guy is terrified or if he wants to end my bloodline right here and there- 😶

(Pls, he scares me. And I have even more of a reason to be scared of him now. FUCK YOU WHAT'S YOUR DAMAGE-)

[swagliostro]

since 2001: a space odyssey is canon to freakazoid (clip under the cut), i think these two are besties… bonding over the shared hobby of being an all-knowing but insane computer-dude.

coping with exam season by circling through my four hyper fixations at the speed of light

[vaguely-concerned]

It's really interesting that Wynne actually has quite a measured, bordering on downright sympathetic response to hearing what Jowan did in the prologue -- if the mage Warden says "I still can't believe Jowan was that stupid", her answer is something like a thoughtful "Stupid, or desperate, or merely curious?". She seems to think of Jowan as a kid who got in over his head, rather than any less charitable interpretation. I do believe she genuinely is as against blood magic as she publicly expresses and as the Circle party line demands, but as a private person she clearly has a more nuanced and potentially kinder understanding of the reasons why someone might resort to it, at the very least.

(related: when she says that part about Irving telling her what happened, there's no dialogue option in the first stage of the conversation (except choosing the 'leaving the conversation' one) that doesn't net you +2 approval! no matter how the warden feels about it, she is ready to recieve it. I think that says something sweet about how Wynne conceptualizes younger mages and the honest real affection she has for them. if you didn't snitch on jowan and say you stand by that decision, though? +3 approval, apparently! what Wynne says and what Wynne thinks is not always the same thing indeed, her idea of where personal loyalty and integrity stands vis-a-vis a mage's responsibility to the circle may be more flexible than she'd have people believe, you'll be surprised to learn lol)

I have always liked wynne and found her interesting, in all her hypocrisies and her earnest care, but with slightly older eyes she's extra fascinating to me in the same ways that Iron Bull is -- seeing someone whose mind has had hollows carved out in it by the need for double-think and compartmentalization imposed by the oppressive systems and ideologies they live under, and the quiet fight of the self to still preserve vital parts of itself that the system deems unacceptable in the hidden backstage areas of the soul, as it were. (and for both of them part of that self is love and protectiveness of specific other people, beyond what their 'role' dictates is acceptable for them.) I think Wynne has managed to sneak more of her internal self through the meatgrinder relatively intact than Bull overall, but it's the same logic underlying it, for me, and it makes me feel such intense affection and compassion for them both to see how hard they try
