#its freaking me out bro. like persephone get OUT OF THERE

[colorful-horses]

I'm about 50 chapters into this story, and there ARE things about it that im enjoying.

But there's a certain super questionable aspect of the romance that they continuously bring up, seemingly for no reason, and everytime they bring it up im like

Found a new series that ha wildly polarizing opinions, ranging from "this is the best thing I've ever read" to "this is the worst thing ever put to paper", which is my faaavorite type of media.

I'll see you guys after I finish reading Lore Olympus.

RWBY V3E6: Fall

* Okay so now I can find out what they wanted with Pyrrha. * Eyyy back at it again with that wonderful storybook artstyle!! * Alright I'm going to say it the Winter Maiden looks just like Winter and now I am suspiciouso * But also that is waaaay too obvious so * Okay wait hold up * I'm just guessing here but they want Pyrrha to be one of the maidens don't they? * I am assuming the Fall Maiden because it's the title and Pyrrha has the color scheme. * Pumpkin spice warrior

* I knew it was some secret underground group!!! * “We’re the headmasters and teachers you met when you arrived at Beacon. Except Ironwood and Qrow, who you have never met before. So yeah, you only know 50% of us”

* Can anyone really blame Pyrrha for being freaked? * Did Glynda’s cape always have that little decal on the back? * If Glynda is the Good Witch, Qrow is the Scarecrow, and Ironwood is the Tin Man, who is the Cowardly Lion? * Is it gonna be Pyrrha because she turns down being the Maiden I swear on my LIFE -  * “I’m sure you have questions.” Uh??? YES??? * Okay...So this is like a Persephone deal and the existence of the Maidens ensures the existence of the seasons.  * I wonder if Qrow has a personal bad experience with someone who was chosen to be a Maiden or if he’s just grumpy * Oh boy * This “the powers go to the last girl the former maiden thought of before she died” thing * Oh boy do I see this being abused for all its purposes * Also can I just say this kind of stuff freaks me out for some reason? * Like somehow the Maiden’s powers are...sentient? There’s a force beyond human comprehension that chooses the next Maiden despite not having a form, a conscience, etc?

* Oh what the fuck. * Tfw you find out a fairytale like Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is true and your principal wants you to be a demigod and he takes you downstairs to the basement where there’s a half-dead woman locked in a box

* Oh I am so nervous about this...I don’t want Pyrrha to do something she doesn’t want to do just because she “has” to. These stories never end well. * Aaaaand she’s doing it because she “has” to. goddammit-- 

* I don’t know which way to feel about this...Obvs they should help Amber if they can but it doesn’t seem like that’s possible.  * Characters like Ironwood make me so nervous because I don’t know if they’re actually bad guys or if they’re just the guys that have to make the hard decisions no one else wants to * OH NO PLEASE DON’T LET THIS BE LIKE BRAN AND THE THREE-EYED CROW LET HER STILL BE PYRRHA * Oh this is a cool shot * But if Pyrrha says no what is plan B?

* I knew it. * I knew this smirking thot was involved.

* YO THESE DESIGNS ARE DOPE

* this shitstain again * WRECK HIS SHIT YANG * YEAH BREAK HIS LEG * it’s literally all he has * As much as I love the dynamic environmental battles it’s cool to see one-to-one sparring matches too! * He has a gun. *In his leg.

* Is this his semblance??? I thought his semblance was Kick * Oh he’s going to get up and start walking like he won and then nope Yang’s still on her feet huh * Called it * Bruh don’t you think the announcers would have said that you won you are so stupid * WRECK HIS SHIT WRECK HIS SHIT WRECK HIS SHIT * Kind of wish Yang’s animation had a little more oomph though

* BRO YOU LOST BACK THE FUCK UP  * THE HELL PEOPLE ALLOW THIS? * That bone crunch is going to be my new ringtone * Oh come on. Guy tries to land a blow after he already lost but Yang gets booed for retaliating? * Srsly Yang better not get in hot water for this

* um have they always been this big holy moly * oh no they’re going to be attracted to the arena

* ????? * What??????? * Why they pointing guns at HER THERE’S AN ATTEMPTED MURDERER TWO FEET TO THE LEFT * I’m legit getting so pissed this is bullshit

BITCH WHAT THE FUCK

WHAT THE FUCK

WJOEGUAWHJOIGH

* DOES HE HAVE AN ILLUSION SEMBLANCE * OH MY F-  * NO * NO THE MUSIC IS NOT HELPING

* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO * THIS IS BULLSHIT

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG

[frostironficrecs]

Hi so i have a few requests if thats okay. 1. Evil! Tony where he has secretly been working with loki or something like that. 2. teen AU theres still the avengers and all but they are teens, and lokis good. 3. avengers meeting lokis kids with frostiron. Sorry if thats too much I'm just having trouble finding these things. Thank you

Me when I first got this ask: this is totally not too much, you are fine, this gives me more opportunities to readMe now: This! Took! So! Fucking! Long! I’m! So! Sorry!

Anyway!

*cracks knuckles* alright friend, ive got at least a couple recs on here with that first request- dark tony working with loki in this rec list, particularly 3, 6, 7, and 9.

Now! teen/hs aus w/ the avengers. those are gonna be a bit harder lol. All of these don’t necessarily have the Avengers, but then I would have virtually no fics for this part of the rec ajkdhlfa

And Everyone Knew Except Them- miaao3, G or T, No Warnings. It started as a stupid joke; Tony smacked a kiss on Loki to freak out a homophobe, except everything went belly up as soon as Loki started kissing back. I loved this?? So Much???? I’m so sad mia isn’t writing anymore :(

What? Wait… What?- msMynx, Mature, No Warnings. Loki is entirely too busy to even think about prom. Prom is what other people did, not him.Hilarious, honestly. Totally something that could happen in canon, imo.

I’m Your Guy- STARSdidathing, G, No Warnings. “You might be gay, but he likes girls, Loki.”Thor is a bad bro sometimes, and Tony is awesome.

It Just Sort Of Happened- Potrix, T, No Warnings Apply (Mentions of drug abuse, mentions of attempted suicide, mentions of overdosing)Sometimes, Loki learns, getting in trouble is just the first step of something new and wonderful.Buddy,,,, this was,,,,,,,,,  angsty and wonderful

This one was difficult and annoying, bc I found Loki’s kids meeting Avengers with frostiron, but it was badly written, or gross, or some kind of shit imo. Then I found meeting Loki’s kids with frostiron! But barely any Avengers, SO, Buddy, I Tried. Honestly, this was the section that took the longest alsdkjf. (A note, I didnt go as in depth for this tag as i have for others bc i thought i spent enough time on it, but here is the link to the search terms i used. Therefore, a lot of the fics on this sec are pretty new, and im sure there are plenty of other good ones in the tag, i simply kinda didnt feel like reading them)

Loki’s Brood (series)- Raven_Ehtar, T, (Past) Rape/Non-con, (Flashback) Graphic Violence (IMO violence is not that bad, and to me the non-con was glossed over)After the trial in Asgard for his various crimes, Loki Laufeyson walks away estranged from his people and burdened with tasks to amend his past wrongs. In so doing he also walks away with his three children - Fenrir, Hela and Jörmungandr - taking them out of the hands of the Æsir. He entrusts them to Tony Stark, much to everyone’s surprise, and what could have been a disaster turns out to work out remarkably well for everyone involved. At least most of the time.This entire series was amazing, I loved it, I want more right now, thank you very much. (This one has the most kids+avengers)

Crossing the Line (series)- pristineungift, M, No Warnings/Graphic Violence.Tony Stark may not know it, but he is Loki’s.Not in a creepy way tho! Imo, at least lkasdf. I really loved this series honestly. Also, Angst :’> (More... adult ‘kids’, and mostly avengers tbh)

Hel is Other People- Moosepelheim, M, Graphic Violence.“So what if I ate the cheeseburger?” Tony shouts, throwing a wrench at Loki’s head. The bastard dodges it easily as he stalks closer. “That doesn’t mean I belong to you!”“Oh, not to me,” Loki says lowly, a smile like honey slowly spreading its way across his face. “But with me? Surely you’ve heard of Persephone.”“A cheeseburger isn’t some fucking mystical pomegranate, you smirking lunatic.” It isn’t, it just isn’t. Not even close. "You aren't even Greek!" he adds, throwing another wrench which is dodged just as easily.Loki spreads his hands wide, posing like the showman he is. “I think you’ll find that a pomegranate symbolizes the fruit of the dead. Your cheeseburger, made of dead flesh, was topped with fruit. It’s close enough for the symbolism to bind.”“Ah-hah! There’s no fucking fruit on a cheeseburger,” Tony says triumphantly, finger pointing accusingly at Loki. “I fucking win, no going back to crazy town with you. I stay here in my workshop, and you fucking leave before I call the Avengers.”“Oh Stark,” Loki murmurs, almost affectionately. “A tomato is a berry, you ignorant fool.”I’m fucking counting this bc this is one of my faves and Im justifying it by the fact that Loki’s kids are in it, albeit as adults, and more towards the end than anything else.

These last three are pretty much Loki+kids+Tony, no Avengers. But they’re all lovely nonetheless, and I would love more of these kinds of fics

Hidden Within- Lynds (Incomplete, updating regularly), T, Chose No Warnings.Tony's on the verge of giving up when he stumbles into Lucas and his large brood of troubled children. He knows they're on the run, but frankly, he's not going to live very much longer, so he doesn't care. He just wants to hang out with the hot guy with stunning green eyes and crazy kids, and maybe fall in love with all of them. Just a little.When Loki finds out he isn't Odin's son, he washes his hands of the lot of them. He steals his children back from their prison and takes them on the run, hiding their true nature and magic in a mortal form. But then Tony comes to their aid one day, and he has to choose between keeping his children safe and hidden, and releasing his magic to save the life of a man he might be falling for.This is the best of the ones I read, no lie, and even tho its super new it deserves to be on this list.

Late Again- andquitefrankly, G, No Warnings.Single dad’s Tony and Loki always bring their kids late to school. And those kids see something that they don’t: love.Def Loki’s kids, and... kinda an oc for Tony’s kid? However, this was delightful, and light, and fluffy. Exactly what I needed after some of the other angst heavy ones on this list.

Forming a Family- siver_drip, T, No Warnings.Odin cast Loki’s children through space and time. Tony finds Hela.Seeing dad!Tony was amazing, I loved it, and Hela was a wonderful little hellion, whom I adore. More pre-slash than anything during the story

For the ask game: Creation of Man, The Thinker, Pietá, La Grand Jatte (can't remember if that's how it's spelled), American Gothic, and David? Feel free to only answer a few, I know it's a lot! Sorry!

Hi @nalavistahlia!  Thanks for asking!  And I will answer all of them :)

Creation of [Adam]: What is your favorite story from mythology?  Do you have any favorite fables or fairytales?

Well I already wrote about how I used to love Prometheus’s story a lot, and asI grew older, I got to read more diversemythology, not just Greek tales, but I think one of my all time favoritestories is that of Hades and Persephone.  I JUST LOVE IT SO!  I mean,the guy everyone thinks should be the evil one, the bad boy, is really just along-suffering man and brother who is trying to do his job and then in dancesthis lovely and brilliant young woman whose name Kori supposedly? equates to“little girl” and she is like hmm I like the Underworld I want to stay. And he is like…ok?  I mean how do you say no to someone who lookscute as hell but also like she could kill you with a glance? And she stays andis like QUEEN of the Underworld and they love each other and she literally becomeshis queen and he calls her Persephone “Bringer of Chaos” and its ADORABLEand then her mom is like yo Zeus I need my precious fragile daughter back andhe is like why do I have to get in the middle of this I just want to go back tobanging everyone else’s wives but to end everything as quickly as possible saysbro you need to return the girl and Hades does NOT want to do that but he alsoknows the situation is a delicate one so he goes to Persephone and is like safetravels to your mom’s house but also I know you love pomegranates, here eatthese (if you love me and want to be bound to the Underworld) and Persephoneknows exactly what the pomegranates will do and eats them! and long story shortshe spends half the year with her mom and half the year with the love of hereternal life and has a great time exacting the curses of men upon the dead…and Nala I think you know all this already but I couldn’t help but go on about it

As far as fairytales go, I used to read this lovely collection of tales from Arabian Nights and my favorite was Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.  Which should have been called Morgiana the Most Cunning and Courageous Woman in the World and the Forty Thieves.  Morgiana is one of Ali Baba’s slaves but when he gets himself in a pickle and is fixing to wind up deader than his dissected brother, Morgiana is like step aside I got this.  And she does.  Boils the bad guys in oil and if I remember she seduces and slays the leader.  And Ali Baba is Impressed and is like yeah uh you’re not a slave anymore can I call you my daughter please and this is literally what happens because she marries his son.  Morgiana is the coolest

The Thinker: Do you often find yourself getting lost in thought?  What is it usually about?

All. the. freaking. time.  And it might be about any number of things, most of them having to do with fiction.  Of late, my current novel in progress, the novel my brain is really wanting to spend its energy on, the beautiful yet painful relationships between the members of the Batfamily, the beautiful Pride and Prejudice fanfic modern genderbent adaption Fixing on the Hour and all the way that @thelonelybrilliance might break my heart in its upcoming sequel (hint hint), the tragedy of the Silmarillion, the fact that I am probably going to have to disregard the entire last quarter of Scarlet Heart Ryeo because dang it nobody is getting the things they deserve, the adorable cuteness of Ahn Min Hyuk and his love for Do Bong Soon, the glory of King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, wondering whether I agree with the half-canon half not canon idea that the Mage is Guinevere, wondering what the heck happened to Rubio, and a whole slew of other things that probably have no importance to the real world

Pieta: Name something that tugs at your heartstrings.

ONE THING?  HAHAHAHAHA I am a fangirl and an INFJ.  EVERYTHING tugs at my heartstrings.  How about that time when Ahn Min Hyuk found out which brother was threatening him?  Yeah how about that?  WORST THING EVER MY POOR LONELY SON WAS CRYING AND BROKEN HOW COULD THAT WRETCH HURT MY SON

La Grande Jatte: Do you take time out of your day to kick back and relax?  Where can people find you if so?

Yes.  I can work hard but I also need a good balance of fun and relaxation or I become very stressed and even unhappy.  You might find me reading books or watching Netflix in my living room or bedroom, or sitting out in my backyard watching the sunset, or taking a walk in the late evening and looking at the stars, or chilling at my mom and dad’s house with them and my brothers.  Or spending time on tumblr, which I love to do all to well and often :D  Or going for a hike.  Or doing yoga.  Or, and this might sound strange, if I am really stressed by my day going to the gym is really relaxing because it helps clear my head so I can focus on the things that really matter!

American Gothic: Would you like to lead a simple and happy life?  Or do you prefer adventure?

Yes and yes.  :D  I want a simple and happy life, with a little house and a huge yard and weekly visits with friends and family and going out for coffee or movies or shopping or bowling or whatever.  Quiet days with books or yoga mats.  Walks in nature.  But I also want to travel and see the Yellowstone National Park and live on a horse ranch and hike all over Ireland and England and Scotland and Wales and visit Spain and Italy and Japan and Korea and NEW ZEALAND OMG MIDDLE EARTH!!! And I love nothing better than getting into characters’ heads and sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to have taken acting classes and done theater or film.  I don’t know.  Over all I suppose I prefer the simple life, because it is much easier to remain physically near the people I love.  And that is more important to me than anything.  So yes, I still hope to go on adventures throughout my life, but I always want to come home in the end.

David: Are you the bold type?  Do you want your ideas and thoughts to be heard all around the world? 

Noo…..I mean…As a writer I hope that someday I will have at least a small fandom dedicated to loving and spreading the love of my stories.  But I will not force myself in front of a microphone–I would get tongue-tied.  If I want to influence the world, it will probably have to be done subtly :)
