I can't believe we've reached the end of 2023. It was an up and down year for me personally. I've been struggling more with my health in these last couple of months with little answers as of now. But I'm grateful to be able to come here and interact with this fandom. I am so grateful to all the amazing people that are still here. We may be small, but this fandom has such heart. I have loved finding new people to follow and become friends with this year. I've loved hosting the book clubs and getting to know people and their MCs better through that. 2023 in the fandom is definitely one to remember.
I am proud of all the things I've written this year. It has been fun to continue exploring my OTPs. If I counted correctly, I shared 74 stories. It's not my most active year, but it's more than I thought I had.
Thank you to everyone who has ever supported me and my writing. I can't tell you how much it means to me.
I hope everyone has a beautiful and amazing 2024. May only good things come your way 💛💛💛

I figured I'd post brief descriptions of what the two fics I've been writing are about. If anybody is interested in them, pls lmk 🙏 I want to post them here (or at least snippets of them) but I also have this odd fear that everybody will hate them 😅
SO~
Both fics are about OC's I've created. They'll be written in third person, although I've considered writing some parts in first person just for funsies lol. Also, I've never written smut, but I'd like to at some point in both, so they'll be rated at 18+ just to be safe.
The first fic!
This takes place in the AOT universe. Is canon aside from the oc, Liliya. She's born in the underground city, living with her mother and no idea who her father is. Her mother was a brothel worker, and is killed when she's about 5. For over a decade from there, Liliya forms several found families throughout her life, including her cousin and a group of three other people her age (Isabel, Furlan and Levi 👀). She takes a great interest in science and medicine and assists the doctor at the local underground clinic. She eventually escapes and makes her way above ground.
This story is oc x Levi endgame 😅 it's still in its early stages, but there's soooo much lore I'm building upon lmao
The second fic!
This story takes place in the ACOTAR universe. Again, everything is canon aside from the OC.
Originally in the series, Lucien Vanserra has six siblings- all brothers. I've given them a sister: Aethryn Vanserra. She looks just like all of the others: auburn hair, brown eyes, tan skin... except for a pair of wings. (Because, why not?)
There's no known cause for this aside from a "blessing from The Mother".
Aethryn only bonds with Lucien, and when his love is killed in front of everybody, she gladly follows him to the Spring Court, where she discovers even more about herself that had been kept warded away within the Autumn Court.
This fic is also an early wip lol, but it Azriel x OC endgame.
(Pls don't be mean regardless if you like the concepts or not! I haven't written fics in like a decade LOL let me have fun thx)

I have to talk about Chester Arthur. His story makes me go crazy. A mediocre president from the 1880s who's completely forgotten today has one of the best redemption stories I've ever heard and I need to make people understand just how cool his story is.
So, like, he starts out as this idealist, okay? He's the son of an abolitionist minister and becomes famous as a New York lawyer who defends the North's version of Rosa Parks whose story desegregates New York City's trolley system.
Then he starts getting pulled into politics and becomes one of the grimiest pieces of the political machine. He wants money, power, prestige, and he gets it. He becomes the right-hand man of Roscoe Conkling, the most feared political boss in the nation, a guy who will throw his weight around and do the most ruthless things imaginable to keep his friends in power and destroy his enemies.
Because Arthur's this guy's top lackey, he gets to be Controller of the Port of New York--the best-paying political appointment in the country, because that port brings in, like, 70% of the federal government's funds in tariffs. He gets a huge salary plus a percentage of all the fines they levy on lawbreakers, and because he's not afraid to make up infractions to fine people over, he is absolutely raking in the dough. Making the rough equivalent of $1.3 million a year--absolutely insane amounts of money for a government position. He's spending ridiculous sums on clothes, buying huge amounts of alcohol and cigars to share with people as part of his job recruiting supporters to the party, going out nearly every night to wine and dine people as part of his work in the political machine. He's living the high life. Even when President Hayes pulls him from his position on suspicions of fraud, he's still living a great life of wealth, power, and prestige.
Then in 1880, his beloved wife dies. While he's out of town working for a political campaign. And he can't get back in time to say goodbye before she dies. Because he's a guy who has big emotions, it absolutely tears him up inside, especially because Nell resented how much his political work kept him away from home. He has huge regrets, but he just moves in with Roscoe Conkling and keeps working for the political machine.
And then he gets a chance to be vice president. The Republican Party has nominated James Garfield, a dark horse candidate who wants to reform the spoils system that has given Conking his power and gave Arthur his position as Port Controller. Conkling is pissed, and he controls New York, and since the party's not going to win the election without New York, they think that appointing Conkling's top lackey as vice-president will pacify him.
They're wrong--Conkling orders Arthur to refuse--but Arthur thinks this sounds like a great opportunity. The only political position he's ever held is Port Controller--a job he wasn't elected to and that he was pulled from in disgrace. Vice President is way more than he could ever have hoped for. It's a position with a lot of political pull and zero actual responsibilities. He'll get to spend four years living in up in Washington high society. It's the perfect job! Of course he accepts, and Conkling comes around when he figures out that he can use this to his advantage.
When Garfield becomes president, Arthur does everything he can to undermine him. He uses every dirty political trick he can think of to block everything that Garfield wants to do. He refuses to let the Senate elect a president pro tempore so he can stay there and influence every bill that comes through. He all but openly boasts of buying votes in the election. He's so much Conkling's lackey that he may as well be the henchman of a cartoon supervillain. On Conkling's orders, he drags one of Garfield's Cabinet members out of bed in the middle of the night--while the guy is ill--to drag him to Conkling's house so he can be forced to resign. He's just absolutely a thorn in the president's side, a henchman doing everything he can to maintain the corrupt spoils system.
Then in July 1881, when Arthur's in New York helping Conkling's campaign, the president gets shot. By a guy who shouts, "Now Arthur will be president!" just after he fires the gun. Arthur has just spent the past four months fighting the president tooth and nail. Everyone thinks he's behind the assassination. There are lynch mobs looking to take out him and Conkling. The papers are tearing him apart.
Arthur is absolutely distraught. He rushes to Washington to speak with the president and assure him of his innocence, but the doctors won't let him in the room. He gets choked up when talking to the First Lady. Reporters find him weeping in his house in Washington. Once again, death has torn his world apart and he's not getting a chance to make amends.
Arthur goes to New York while the president is getting medical treatment, and he refuses to come to Washington and take charge because he doesn't dare to give the impression that he's looking to take over. No one wants Arthur to be president and he doesn't want to be president, and the possibility that this corrupt political lackey is about to ascend to the highest office in the land is absolutely terrifying to everyone.
Then in August, when it's becoming clear that the president is unlikely to recover, he gets a letter. From a 31-year-old invalid from New York named Julia Sand. A woman from a very politically-minded family who has been following Arthur's career for years. And she writes him this astounding letter that takes him to task for his corrupt, conniving ways, and the obsession with worldly power and prestige that has brought him wealth and fame at the cost of his own soul--and she tells him that he can do better. In the midst of a nationwide press that's tearing him apart, this one woman writes to tell him that she believes he has the capacity to be a good president and a good man if he changes his ways.
And then he does. After Garfield dies, people come to Arthur's house and find servants who tell them that Arthur is in his room weeping like a child (I told you he had big emotions), but he takes the oath of office and ascends to the presidency. And he becomes a completely different man. His first speech as president mentions that one of his top priorities is reforming the spoils system so that people will be appointed based on merit rather than getting appointed as political favors with each change in the administration. Even though this system made him president. When Conkling comes to Arthur's office telling him to appoint his people to important government positions, Arthur calls his demands outrageous, throws him out, and keeps Garfield's appointees in the positions. "He's not Chet Arthur anymore," one of his former political friends laments. "He's the president."
He loses all his former political friends. He's never trusted by the other side. Yet he sticks to his guns and continues to support spoils system reform. He prosecutes a postal service corruption case that everyone thought he would drop. He's the one who signs into law the first civil service reform bill, even though presidents have been trying to do this for more than ten years, and he's the person who's gained all his power through the spoils system. He immediately takes action to enforce this bill when he could have just dropped it. He becomes a champion of this issue even though it's the last thing anyone would have expected of him.
He oversees naval reform. He oversees a renovation of the White House. He still prefers the social duties of the presidency, but he's respectable in a way that no one expected. Possibly because Julia Sand keeps sending him letters of encouragement and advice over the next two years. But also because he's dying.
Not long after ascending to the presidency, he learns he's suffering from a terminal kidney disease. And he tells no one. He keeps going about his daily life, fulfilling his duties as president, and keeps his health problems hidden. Once again, death is upending his life, and this time it's his own death. He's lived a life he's ashamed of, and he doesn't have much time left to change. He enters the presidency as an example of the absolute worst of the political system, and leaves it as a respectable man.
He makes a token effort to seek re-election, but because of his health problems, he doesn't mind at all when someone else gets the nomination. He dies a couple of years after leaving office. The day before his death, he orders most of his papers burned, because he's ashamed of his old life--but among the things that are saved are the letters from Julia Sand, the woman who encouraged him to change his ways.
This is an astounding story full of so many twists and turns and dramatic moments. A man who falls from idealism into the worst kind of corruption and then claws his way back up to decency because of a series of devastating personal losses and unexpected opportunities to do more than he could have ever hoped to do. I just go crazy thinking about it and I need you all to understand just how amazing this story is.

Powerful men
oh my god the fact that any of the brothers and datables could ruin the lives of anyone who wrongs you is so hot to me
the idea of the pure power and influence they hold used just used for little old me instead of something actually productive makes me weak in the knees
if you go down the list, each of them is terrifying in their own way and you have them wrapped around your finger
Lucifer is Diavolo’s right hand man and single handed manages so many things, including six of his brothers that are all very power demons
Mammon has influence over everything money
Levi is Hell’s Admiral
Satan was literally birthed from Lucifer’s rage and has connections in every part of the Devildom
Asmo is not only famous as the avatar of lust, but also online meaning he has a horde of crazy dedicated fans and man’s greater weakness at his disposal
Beel is a beefcake of a man and will eat anything without flinching, including almost you
Belphie rules the dreamworld and arguably had the least amount of restraint among his brothers
Diavolo is literally the next in like to be king and has an inconceivable amount of grim at the tips of his fingers
Barbatos can alter time, space, and any destiny at will with something as simple as a thought and hand movement
Solomon has 46(? don’t remember exactly how many) demons in a pact with him including Barbatos and Asmo and is a very powerful sorcerer
Simeon has the influence of an angel and the power of all that is heavenly on his side, as well as Lucifer
all it takes is for one of them to find out, then the fate of whoever wronged you has been sealed. I like to think it’s a collaborative effort
the demon that made fun of you in RAD mysteriously vanished, that thorn in your side at your part time job is suddenly much nicer, and that one rude hairstylist at your favorite salon is fired for some reason
it’s so insane how all of them are likely willing to go that far for a human that was chose at random for an exchange program that wasn’t meant to last more than a year
the writing potential is endless

As always, this blog stands with Palestine, Congo, and Sudan. PLEASE make sure to email your state representatives (if you live in the United States). If you do not know your representative (or how to contact them), you can use this website (which is the official U.S. House of Representatives website). My reposts on Tumblr are all about Isnotreal's genocide on Palestine (at least as of 6/16/2024). Make sure to amplify Palestinian voices and journalists as well (a list will be included below of some Palestinian journalists and groups/people supporting Palestine on Instagram).

Hello. Do your characters watch holiday movies together? Which ones, if they do?
Hi, @choicesasknonnie,
Thank you for the ask! I had fun with this.
Olivia and Bryce enjoy watching Hallmark Movies. Olivia enjoys the stories, even if they're cheesy. She likes the romance and seeing the characters grow together. However, she also takes it a little to seriously. She says she watches them to relax and unwind because they're "easy viewing" and don't require her to be super focused, but she ends up being super engaged and yelling at the tv when there are misunderstandings that cause the characters to drift apart. She ends up crying when the leads reunite. Bryce enjoys watching Olivia, watch the movies. He loves her passion and how invested she becomes in them.
Bryce enjoys more comedic Christmas movies like Elf, Home Alone, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, and Spirited.
Lilah introduced Trystan to Home Alone, which they both enjoy watching, and rewatching. Lilah isn't into the romantic Christmas films so this is definitely her favorite. She also likes Die Hard, and while it might not be a Christmas movie, she will always insist that it should be. Trystan loves teasing her about it, especially since their lives are filled with enough excitement and adventure. She also enjoys The Thin Man Series.
Laura and Levi enjoy Love Actually both appreciate the cast, the story, the humor, and of course the love. Lily enjoys The Grinch (with Benedict Cumberbatch), Elf, and Polar Express. Levi and Laura love watching those movies with their girl!
Alex and Thomas really enjoy classic films. Alex enjoys the romance and the heart of the stories, Thomas enjoys the signficance of the films and storytelling, including It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. However, Alex also has a soft spot for Edward Scissorhands, which Thomas enjoys as well.
Mal and Daenarya don't have movies, but I think they'd both love nonconventional christmas movies like Nightmare before Christmas, Gremlins, and Krampus.
