smth smth about 'the thing that the character did that you thought was rly rly funny in the moment is actually linked to a terrible trauma that lies within said character.' or wahtever.

trying not to get disproportionately hyped but yesterday's horizons episode made me lose my mind to such a degree that I feel as though the next episode is gonna be like.. life-changing for me I fear.

mental health day, you say?

[black-rose-writings]

Hello! I know it has been a very long time since you added anything, but could you write something related to Price of safety? Maybe related to the one-shot you wrote about the different ending of Siege and Storm featuring Marya? (I'm always dying for more "The Saints are actually all friends and help Sasha in hsi quest for safety for Grisha" content!) I love your blog so much!!

I have a couple of short fics I'm almost done with for the Grishaverse, though unfortunately none of them involve the Saints. I'll try to finish something and post it soon (I've been on a more of video game fic / original work kick recently, so Grishaverse (which is a lot of work and not much fun, especially considering the things I have almost finished are largely Alina POV, which is bad for my mental health in larger quantities) had to take a back seat.

But to make me more motivated to write, I'll post the premises for some of the fics I'm pretty far into:

Retelling of season 1 of the show but Kaz is Aleksander's son and all of the Crows are Grisha

Baghra's attempt to convince Alina to leave ends... poorly for Baghra. Shenanigans ensue.

Aleksander overhears the fight between Mal and Alina after the Fete and goes to see if she's okay, unintentionally preventing Baghra from doing her "big reveal".

Mal and Alina do find a bit of privacy (wink wink) during their time in Novyi Zem. This causes some challenges for Nikolai and Darkling that they probably should have forseen when chasing after two a couple of teenagers.

And a few that are slightly less finished/fleshed out:

Luda Lives AU (I have the idea and a few scenes but can't quite pin down a plot)

Alina is Aleksander's daughter AU (same as above. I have a few posts about this, but it's one thing to make a bullet point post and another to write a compelling story)

Show!Inej centric story that is unfortunately (but IMO completely justifiably) very mean to Kaz and Jesper and I'm kinda scared to post because of that (might get mixed into some of the other ones, because it has more of a side-plot vibe than a stand-alone story vibe)

[llycaons]

imo the novel and donghua both have a lightheartedness to many of their scenes that almost comes off as bizarre, jarring when you consider what else happens in the story. they jump between arcs and tend to abruptly shift tones, and the scenes that are supposed to be happy often come off as extremely irritating. to me. might have been a translation issue? meanwhile cql has committed many timeline crimes but I'll always prefer its more serious tone and gravitas, which makes wwx feel like a more grounded and realistic character and makes the dramatic scenes hit so much harder

silly how astarion is the one with my most high approval rn + stop trying to flirt your way into this relationship we are going to be besties till the day the sun will stop shining in the sky

So yesterday I had an interaction that I'm still thinking about, and I don't want anyone to assure me that I was in the right or anything I just feel that it might help for me to get it all out in writing?? idk. If it helps it helps I guess. I had a close friend, very close friend, for about four and a half years, and we were fine we were good we clicked we were kindred spirits, but the last year or so I knew him he started being blatantly homophobic, incredibly transphobic, joking about killing gay people, the works. When I started to pull away from him, he asked why I was pushing him away, why I was so nice to everyone around me but not him. I was very openly bisexual even then, I flirted with literally everyone around me, and he had the audacity to ask why I didn't want to spend time with a homophobe. I met him again last night. He came up to me like nothing was wrong, said "we haven't had time to speak much lately", and apologised for "anything he may have done wrong". Which, great. But I pushed forward, I said, "you mean being extremely homophobic in front of me? Someone who makes no secret of the fact that they're bisexual?" And he didn't say anything. "It hurts," I said, "when someone so close to you makes jokes about killing people like you." And he said,

"Clean slate?"

I couldn't. I can't. How do you break someone's trust so badly, and then assume everything can just go back to normal. I said as much to him, I said, "I'll always know you think my existence is wrong, no matter how much you don't say it to my face."

And he quoted some poor dead fool, as if that would make anything better, and then he smiled at me and asked me if I'd read anything interesting recently.

I don't want to be his friend anymore. I've heard what he thinks of gay people, black people, trans people. I don't want to interact with someone like that. I don't need that in my life just when I'm starting to heal. And now im sitting at the dining table a year after the fact and crying over this stupid stupid man who hates the fact that I exist and simultaneously wants me in his life and I hate it I hate it I hate it, and I miss him so terribly, but it hurts so badly, and I can't go back to a friendship like that.

And I wish he'd just accept the fact that forgiveness and friendship are two very different things. I can forgive him because I love him, and I can refuse his offer of a clean slate because I love myself more than I love him. And I can miss his friendship so terribly because he was wonderful to me when it mattered. And I can never want him back because I know what friendship is supposed to look like, now.

I don't know. There's no happy ending to this story. There's no clean break, there's no emotionless confrontation, there's just the two of us blinking back tears and staring at each other as a crowded hall moves around us. And I'm sorry that's the way it turned out.

The things I want to say about Ana kasparian I will get canceled for…. But apparently she’s allowed to talk crap about vice president Kamala Harris with no consequence.

Tragedy is actually a really good genre I never actively seek it out but sometimes the catharsis that sadness brings is exactly what I needed to feel good

catharsis (artist statement under the cut, read before reblogging)

i started this drawing to fill a niche. i’ve seen plenty of fanmade (and now canon) material of bill’s statue being vandalized or beat up on, but never so far as to damage it to the point of being unrecognizable. there were some very strong and specific feelings that drove the making of this piece, but ultimately they boiled down to my own personal need to see bill’s statue utterly destroyed by the one person who deserves it the most.

my coloring process was very dynamic- i didn’t have a set idea in mind for how i wanted the colors or lighting to look and most of my artistic decisions were made intuitively. by the end i’d subconsciously decided to set the scene to be very early in the morning, which is more fitting than i originally thought it would be; that and ford’s sweaty clothes and skin convey (i hope) that he’s been out in the woods alone all night, with the privacy to rage, yell, cry, whatever he needs to do to get his pain out as he turns what is left of his abuser into dust.

i don’t often write long statements like this to go with my art, and some of the above commentary i normally might have put in the tags, but in this case i wanted my thoughts and intent to be inseparable from the art itself. also forgive me if my writing sounds a bit disjointed, sometimes i have a hard time putting my thoughts into words

do not tag or treat this as b.llf.rd or i will block you. EDIT: if you post/repost b.llf.rd at all just dni actually
