#it didn't rly work the last few times so not worth it but

[kindacreepy-kindaugly]

I don't miss him I fucking hate him but I miss the way he could make my brain shut down

[solcorvidae]

ask game!! ⭐️, 📚 or 🎶 or if there’s another u rly want to do then do that one :D

Hi Robyn!! Thank you for the ask <33

These are... mostly Lambert-centric snippets. Oops! I didn't plan that, but he lives in my brain 24/7 so I suppose it only makes sense that he appears so frequently in my writing.

⭐️ share a snippet where a character is the best at something.

The drive was only two hours in total, including stops. But Geralt was tired of his reading being interrupted by Lambert's loud chatter and his shrieking laughter as he threw the disgusting blanket he dragged everywhere onto Geralt's lap. Lambert thought Geralt's reaction was a riot.

"Lambert," Vesemir warned for what felt like the one-hundredth time that afternoon. "I will stop the car. This is your last warning. Stop bothering your brother." 

Geralt felt queasy as he flicked the dirty blanket off his book and back to Lambert's side of the truck. Lambert was quiet for all of five minutes before he began pestering Eskel instead, kicking the back of the seat. Eskel did not give him the attention he was searching for and simply moved the seat forward without further acknowledgement. It only took Lambert's tiny legs a few more swings to realize he could no longer reach the back of the seat in front of him. "Noo, put it back!"

Lambert's voice felt like nails on a chalkboard to Geralt as he slapped the palms of his hands over his tiny ears to block out the shrill whining of the five-year-old next to him.

(Lambert is the best at being annoying during family outings... especially if it involves more than a 20 minute drive. But hey, he's five here, who can blame him? Also, yes. He is a blanket kid.)

📚 share a snippet where the character is being academic/is in an academic setting/is showing off their knowledge.

If there was one thing Lambert was known for, it was finishing what he started. It didn't matter if it was a personal project, coursework, or an argument; if Lambert started something, he was never known to be the first to back down or leave it unfinished. 

He cursed through his teeth at the eraser-worn page in front of him. They were given the entire four-hour lab period to complete their work; Lambert was determined to take advantage of it even if his classmates rarely did. Balling his fists tightly in his hair, yanking harshly in frustration, Lambert felt tears prick the corners of his eyes. He was the last person in the eerie classroom, short of his TA. 

The clock ticked mockingly in his ears as the remaining ten minutes of class marched on. There was no way Lambert was finishing this lab before he and his TA had to leave. 

He glared at the chalkboard with the results that still, for the seventh time, did not match the numbers on the pH meter in front of him or the aggressive handwriting scrawled on his page. He did not want to have to finish this over the weekend or gods forbid, hand it in as is. No, Lambert was top of his class the last two semesters; he would not let this impact his final. They were only halfway through the semester, he couldn't afford to use up what he liked to call his 'one designated fuck up' before he was off for the reading week. He couldn't afford that hanging over his head, not with his scholarship on the line, not when this lab was worth twenty percent of his final grade. 

(AKA: Top Ten Photos Taken Moments Before Disaster... and by disaster, I mean Lambert having a breakdown in his Organic Chemistry lab.)

🎶 share a happy moment. ANY happy moment. You must have ONE.

Aiden looked down at him with concern plastered on his face. He watched as tears streamed down the sides of Lambert's face, past his ears. He couldn't sense anything amiss, so why was he crying? 

Lambert pulled Aiden back down onto the bed beside him. "It's stupid," he said as they laid on their sides, faces mere inches apart, limbs tangled and intertwined so that neither man knew which foot belonged to whom. Lambert watched Aiden study his body language and found nothing. He was okay. He was more than okay. 

Lambert was happy. 

"I just love you so fucking much, you know?" Lambert choked, brushing a loose strand of hair from Aiden's eyes and tucked it behind his ear. 

Aiden fought a losing battle. "Yeah, I do," he whispered, swallowing his words, afraid that someone might hear and take it all away.

hi!! i've kinda been going through your blog for the past few weeks and can i first say that its incredible!!! i love noodling over worldbuilding so reading all your ideas and the clear amount of thought you put into each headcanon is wonderful and very inspiring as a fellow the-woodland-realm-deserved-more-lore enthusiast haha

im fascinated by the regencies of the princes! it surprised me since ive never encountered that hc before but it makes complete logical and practical sense for a realm so large in its prime!!! i'd love to learn more about that? esp bc (at least from what i was able to find) youve only mentioned it for turhir and rly talked about arvellas's 🥺

thank you!!

Dear Anon: I love you so much! <3 I am flattered and honored and grateful you have discovered and enjoyed my Thranduil/Thranduilion content! Any interest shown in my OC Princes sends my writer's heart to the moon!

Writing my Thranduil/Mirkwood headcanon posts always take a large amount of time, research, and plotting to write. Unfortunately, they get much fewer notes compared to other "off the cuff" Thranduil metas, which kind of sucks but I've learned to make peace with it. What keeps me going is the supportive messages I receive like yours. <3

Please feel free to take whatever you might find useful from my headcanons to inspire or write into your own fics. (This applies to anyone reading this.) I have an "open source" policy on the HCs I write and don't require credit (even though a heads up would be appreciated, 'cause I'd love to see your stuff!). I just want to help fellow writers in the Tolkien fandom.

Your question about the regency of the Thranduilion princes is SUCH a great one! I actually have a WIP draft discussing the different jobs of the princes, in response to another excellent Anon ask. But your question got me so excited that literally at midnight last night I started working on an HC for that immediately. It was worth the shortened sleep, but I think I can have it completed and posted in a few hours. Since I can't tag you on it, I hope you're watching! :)

And finally...

youve only mentioned it for turhir and rly talked about arvellas's 🥺

OMG you really read through all of it, didn't you? Have I told you I love you yet?

pictures of ANGELINA PETROVNA TARASOVA have been showing up all over my feed, and considering the last time they were #trending, it was due to a claim that a ghost had contacted her via ouija board — i'm not likely to unfollow anytime soon. with their silk , satin gown & high platform heels that bring her higher to the heavens, i'm not surprised to hear that they are considered part of the NOUVEAU RICHES. after twenty six years, they've managed to garner a reputation for being more sanguine than hedonistic, but their critics say that they're more loquacious than seraphic when they aren't too busy focusing on their pink tipped fingers laced up in secrecy ; leaving red kisses and confusion everywhere you go ; the battle between godhood and motherhood. when they aren't occupied with their work as a true crime host, they've been sighted chasing ghosts & trying to annoy demons , creating fun stories to tell her daughter . reputation.com has taken to calling them HELEN OF TROY in order to avoid a lawsuit ( again ).

QUICK STATS!

( tw : pregnancy ) tensions  heighten  even  more  after  you  find  yourself  pregnant  ;  the  result  of  a  spur  -  of  -  the  -  moment  decision  with  your  best  friend  to  lose  your  virginity  .  remember  in  mean  girls  when  they  said  :  "  don't  have  sex  ,  you'll  get  pregnant  "  ?  yeah  ,  coach  carr  didn't  lie  .  but  ,  you're  excited  !  you  ?  bringing  in  a  small  life  ?  sign  me  tf  up  !  too  bad  your  dad  feels  differently  ;  he's  upset  ,  and  throws  you  out  of  the  house  ,  telling  you  to  never  talk  to  him  again  .  it's  a  relationship  that  hasn't  been  repaired  since  ,  but  it's  all  worth  it  when  you  see  the  smile  on  your  little  bub's  face  .

and  motherhood  absorbs  you  .    .    .  it's  a  24  hr  job  !  who  doesn't  love  sleepless  nights  amirite  (  wrong  .  they  make  her  cry  )  ,  but  in  the  midst  of  delusions  &  chaos  you  begin  to  find  more  interest  in  true  crime  and  ghost  stories  ?  maybe  it's  the  mama  bear  that  comes  out  ,  a  primal  instinct  to  keep  your  daughter  safe  from  any  potential  harm  .  or  maybe  ?  it's  just  your  hallucinations  taking  over  ,  that  make  you  feel  like  somewhere  ,  there  may  be  a  ghost  .

it  takes  you  a  few  years  to  rly  expand  on  your  interest  ,  but  later  is  better  than  never  .  you  start  your  own  true  crime  show  ;  it  begins  as  a  small  podcast  ,  but  grows  into  an  actual  show  with  a  big  audience  !  and  with  heightened  interest  ?  you  become  even  more  chaotic  .  going  into  haunted  houses  and  trying  to  provoke  ghosts  becomes  a  hobby  , and mascara    ,    freckled    skin    ,    and    pigtails    become    a    strength    ⸻    acquiring    the    art    of    storytelling   become    a    reality    ,    as    a    silver    tongue    grows    so    smooth    you    emerge    as    an    orchestrator    of    ( fun ) chaos    .

FUN FACTS !

a  lil  adrenaline  junkie  if  u  may  !  spends  the  majority  of  her  time  catering  to  her  lil  broke  bestie  ,  but  when  she's  not  ?  she  has  such  a  need  for  speed  omfg  .  .  .  catch  her  outside  just  racing  ?  for  no  reason  ?  drifting  and  spinning  ,  and  all  of  the  fast  and  furious  stuff  .  lover  of  anything  fast  !  !  but  only  not  around  her  daughter  .  if  she's  there  ?  catch  her  going  the  exact  speed  limit  or  under  bc  she  loves  her  too  much  to  ever  put  her  in  danger  yup  !

Totally random, but I didn't understand a thing about this recent chapter. Could u give a tldr on it? Cause the vibes I was getting kinda made me feel like Haru was toying with legosi? But I do get that legosi is a bottom to herbivores 😅

ugh i’ve been mulling over this ask literally all day, i would’ve answered sooner but i had ~responsibilities~ to take care of. anyway,

i’ll admit chapter 195 was a bit difficult for me to completely wrap my head around as well, and I’m not very good at analysis, but I’ll give my own interpretation on the chapter. tho this’ll prolly be longer than a simple tldr lol

also a disclaimer: im typing this the night before ch196 releases in japan, so any musings or thoughts i write in this post may be different once that chapter releases, but i wanted to write my thoughts down about this chapter on its own.

so in my “review” of ch195 i thought “good for her” bc it seemed to me that haru was trying to like, idk, reclaim some power or st from legosi by “scaring him” with suggesting divorce. perhaps she is toying with legosi, and honestly i think he kinda deserves it for leaving my girl out of all the action lol. haru should be allowed to scare him! 

i think looking back to some past chapters may help explain haru’s logic:

in ch173 she mentions how powerless she feels bc she can only express her love in small ways, and not in these big dramatic ways that legosi’s been doing bc she’s not a big strong carnivore.

and it’s also been established that haru has pretty low self esteem and is also kinda... passively suicidal. so i think her actions in 195 are tied to that. in ch166, she mentions that before meeting legosi, she lived as if she was just “one out of 500 million rabbits”. no one special or unique. no one worth fighting or risking your life for. easily replaced. no one who would be especially missed.

so i’m sure legosi coming in and saying she’s special and how much he loves her gives her hella whiplash. i think these feelings make a resurgence in 195.

haru notices legosi’s newfound confidence & gets irritated bc she feels like she just doesn’t compare. what could such a radiant wolf see in her, a one in 500 million rabbit? 

i also think that, even tho haru also loves legosi, if she just goes along with him, it sorta enforces their roles as “predator” and “prey”. it’s a wolf pursuing a rabbit, though it’s romantically rather than out of a desire to eat. 

so if haru simply agrees to a happy life with legosi, it’s as if he “won“. the wolf got the rabbit. the predator got his prey. and aren’t they trying to surpass those roles? so haru defies that. she finds her own way to “win“. to not just simply be “prey“. so that’s why i think she wanted to scare him. it’s one of the few ways she can hold power over him.

she wants their relationship to be as equals. not as a “herbivore” and an “carnivore” but as haru and legosi.

so i interpreted haru’s “proposal” not as “let’s get married Right Now” but more as like, a promise that they’ll keep working to make their relationship... healthier i guess. 

perhaps this is wishful thinking on my part bc it’s obvious they’ve still got issues to work out w/ their relationship but this chapter made me hopeful that these issues would actually get addressed and solved. tho at the same time im also rather frustrated bc this is the 2nd to last chapter, and it feels like they’re Just Starting to work out their relationship issues. rly hoping the last chapter leaves things rather open ended & doesn’t try to pretend that everything’s all sunshine & roses for them now.
