My Fandom Fic Events in 2023:

30+ Fanfic events: 24-Hour Drabbles

Daemyra Discord prompt events: Dawn of Daemyra Fest, Daemyra Appreciation Month

HotD[aemyra] Discord prompt events: Summer Snippets and Stories, Amorous Autumn/Kinktober

IWRY Marathon @iwillrememberyoumarathon

Multifandom Exchanges: Flash Flood, Mind the Gap Flash, RelationShipping, AUEx, Everywoman, Father’s Day Flash, Stork Swap, Un-themed Flash, Smut 4 Smut, Id Pro Quo, Candy Hearts

While I have obviously still done many exchanges, this has definitely been the year of focusing less on exchanges and more on prompt events and smaller more community-focused fandom spaces, and honestly that’s something I’ve really enjoyed and want to continue going forward.

Upcoming 2024 Events & Projects

I’ll be sharing a 2024 goals list in a separate post, but I’m definitely not going to try planning out my event schedule in advance, I take it a month or two at a time based on what I’m in the mood for. Immediate goals are to finish Battlefields before we get too far into January and then avoid picking up any more commitments until Candy Hearts time, I’m feeling the midwinter burnout coming on and I need a bit of a breather.

Rules & Tags

Honestly, do what you want to with this whether that’s putting in way too much effort like I did, ignoring it, or somewhere in between.

I’m not going to tag anyone, but if you see this and want to do it, consider yourself tagged!

Jaenelle Angelline - Black Jewels Trilogy

Not many people know this one, but when I read BJT, and got to know Jaenelle as a character, Witch, it kinda struck me like a shot. I LOVE this character more than I have words for and I would love to play Dreams made Flesh off her Consort or any of her other family or Court....

"Like yes I know Much Fuss Was Made about Jaenelle Saetien not being Witch and that there's a whole Divide between Jaenelle Angelline and Witch but it will really get my goat if Jaenelle Angelline suffered all that canon torture and grief and shittiness only to be cast aside even by her husband as only important because she was Witch"

don't know if you read past the first two books but that has already been tackled. also jaenelle saetib was never supposed to be witch

I am a former fan who realized they were pretty bad books around my mid twenties, Anon. I've read them multiple times with the exception of the most recent ones about the kids.

I did not say Jaenelle Saetien was Witch, I specifically asked how they are calling Jaenelle Angeline back to control Daemon if Jaenelle Saetien is sort of her reincarnated. If they're just calling Witch back then, again, as you quoted me saying, it'll be a bit gross for JA to have been only important to Daemon because she was Witch, but it will be part and parcel for a series that fails its stated objectives of exploring Nurtures controlling Warriors or whatever gender binary essentialist nonsense.

so here's the thing... I genuinely don't have a problem with fix it tics and I like a bunch of them. but I feel like they never do set out to solve the actual problems presented by the narrative, which fair the whole concept it's just the author doing whatever the fuck they want. and it's nice there's some genuine good wholesome scenarios out there. but I like drama and I wished they tackled the drama more, specially in bj there's so much unresolved tension brewing on the very surface of the plot that people just ignore because it doesn't contribute to the romantic storyline that it's just... we're waisting it!!!!!!!!!!

generally these fics try to fix the last three books as if the problem is Jaenelle Saetien or that the mother of Daemon's child is Surreal and not Jaenelle Angelline. But the problem isn't who he ends up with or who is the mother of the child or if the child is or isn't a queen ir have a dark jewel, the problem is Daemon himself lol any every child he has will always have to compete for his time, attention and loyalty with his devotion to Witch and they'll lose. It's just I keep reading these fix it fics that are like "instead of having a terrible child JS, JA never dies and they have five kids, the older is a queen and they live happily ever after" and I keep thinking that doesn't fix the problem, it worsens it all things considered, you've just made higher staker and added more pressure to a delicate situation iykwim, it doesn't solve the problem bcs he'll still give up everything and anyone for an ideal, as soon as an opportunity arises.

But what about Zoey, you ask, she'll also suffer from this if we theoretically stretch the storyline beyond what we've seen, but to a less degree because her attachment to him isn't that big. She has a normal regular degular family and friends, when she realises that she's kinda of a temporary band ai to a messed up situation, it won't be as bad comparatively to Jaenelle Saetien because she has people outside his influence, who'll always choose >her< first. Am I rambling? I am rambling, but I genuinely wished there were more works about his flawed bias and how it eventually ends up isolating him and pushing people away. And that doesn't make him or Jaenelle Angelline villains or anything like that, it's just a bias, a different point of view that could shine in a dramatic fic.

Also I don't ever feel like Jaenelle Angelline ever wanted kids. To me, she'd prioritise the very little time she had left on the world to be with him and I don't think she ever wanted to raise a child. We also need more fanfics that stop presenting the fact she didn't want kids as bad and tragic srsly it doesn't make them less romantic!!!!!! free your mind from traditional romance novels people!!!!!! not even going to elaborate on the fact the books are like daemon and surreal will have a kid in the future from the very first book bcs i know people will get mad so

Legend speaks of the Blood being created as caretakers of the Realms. But with Queens imprisoned and lands poisoned, that care is long gone.

Before Jaenelle Angelline, there was another Witch. The Witch; Queen of Dragons. She is risen, and dragons occupy the previously empty skies, dividing Blood and Landen alike. But where is the human Witch, the counterpart to the great Dragon Queen? Why does she leave her people at the mercy of these creatures of lore? Has she forsaken them, or is something more sinister afoot?

When your very creators rise up from the Darkness to cauterize the wound, which side do you stand on?

the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them: I feel like a solid percentage of my fandom experience is pretty much me picking a if not unpopular then probably controversial character and then proceeding to talk loudly and ad nauseam about why I think people should like them.

but if I gotta pick just one, and thinking about characters who I feel like are actively unpopular (as opposed to controversial, which is a different category; like, I'd put Xue Yang in the latter but not really the former, since he's got a middling strength group of core fans)...

since I mentioned Black Jewels Trilogy I'll throw one out for Jaenelle Angelline who I recall people really not liking back in the day, at least (I'm not actively in the fandom now so maybe this isn't the case anymore), or at least didn't find interesting as a character. and I get that because on the one hand sure, she's a classic "all the good guys love her, all the bad guys hate her, all-powerful chosen figure" character, but I've always been deeply fond of her because like. she's weird. she starts out weird and continues to be weird, she's really fucked up psychologically actually, she's kind of socially awkward and this combination of shy and insecure and exuberant confidence. she's sweet and compassionate and also vindictive and capable of horrific cruelty.

I think I have kind of a thing for characters who are extremely fucking powerful and also a complete mess as human beings and that's how I always felt about Jaenelle? yeah, she can decimate a planet and makes friends with unicorns but also doesn't really know how to be a normal human person. I don't know. I don't actually expect other people to be with me on this but I am.

but also, a while back I went looking for Wang Lingjiao fic because I was like "there's interesting material there about this woman from a nobody family who ends up in a relationship with the son of a major sect leader, and, like, what was she thinking? did she try to catch Wen Chao or did he notice her and she either (a) made the best of a bad situation by turning it to her advantage or (b) actively decided that she was going to improve her own life via this guy? like, yeah, she's petty and mean and vindictive and I want to know what's going on in her head. in a story that has a lot of people who come from low station and suffer for it, and sometimes even more for trying to get out of it, I'm prodding at her version of that and going "there's something here, give it to me."

sometimes think about that half idea I had where Wang Lingjiao notices Wen Chao coming onto her, doesn't like the idea, and basically tries to escape by glomming onto Wen Qing instead. Wen Qing/Wang Lingjiao rights, is what I'm saying.

worst blorboficiation: my first reaction to this was "oh no, are we going to make "blorbofication" the new "woobification", I was glad when we left that word behind and I don't want to see it replaced, I really don't."

but also. in my heart I immediately knew my answer and it's perfect good boy Wei Wuxian. singlehandedly turned me around on my feelings for a character and I don't really know how to get the good ones back at this point and I would really like the good ones back. I got into this fucking fandom because of him as basically an antagonist-as-protagonist model (i.e. a character who could be an antagonist in most stories but narrative positioning complicates things) - in CQL, even, so this isn't just adaptation decay or whatever - and now...augh.

idk man it makes me sad to think about too much. going back to thinking about Wen Qing/Wang Lingjiao rights instead.

you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc): so many and I feel like a lot of them have come up in answers to other questions...going to throw this one out though to the people who insist that Xue Yang never had any squishy feelings for Xiao Xingchen and all his motives were bad and evil forever, not just because hey that's my baby but also because it is, as I've said before, both an incredibly shallow read of the story as a whole that strips it of part of what makes it so painful and good and also makes that whole dynamic so much less interesting.

it just makes me feel kind of crazy, also, the way I look at that arc and see the reiteration of themes across MDZS and across MXTX's other works and feel like I'm just going "LOOK AT IT. LOOK AT IT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE IT BUT AT LEAST SEE WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT" and meanwhile there's another post in the tag throwing "no empathy" around as a shortcut to indicate "bad and evil."

anyway. I'm tired. every month or so I have to block another one.

[dspd]

I FIRMLY believe that the only reason why we haven't a movie or series based on Anne Bishop's Black Jewels Trilogy is because they can't find real humans who can do the characters justice

which doesn't mean that we don't N E E D this adaption like we've been dosed with safframate ourselves

Jaenelle Angelline

[18pluskin]

I know this is a very unlikely shot in the dark here but: I'm Jaenelle Angelline from the Black Jewels series, and I'm looking for any family or friends who might like to talk! I don't mind if we share a canon or not, and kintwins would even be welcome. Interact and I'll try to message you as fast as I can.
