One of my favorite tropes in fiction is when the “wicked evil of legend” just retires and goes to live a normal life, and starts a bakery or something.

Bonus points if the heroes go out to stop them, but find them doing something really wholesome.

After way too long, I have finally updated the fic masterlist. Even with the Jason story. Every time I do it, I'm reminded of the sheer quantity of fic that just never gets posted or seen, or even just seen in brief snippets. I see the AUs and I'm like "wait there's like 5 of those stories why did I only post 2" jkdslf.

I guess it's kind of a shame, but since a lot gets like 15 notes it probably doesn't matter too much? Also, I'm kinda embarrassed enough about posting literally anything, I'd rather not be overly haphazard with my blog.

As always, I still get comments asking me to put this stuff on AO3. Hopefully keeping the masterlist updated is a decent compromise. As always, I will still refuse to put many works on AO3. What goes up on AO3 is how I judge myself as a writer, and it's how other people will always judge me. IMHO you can't insist that fanfiction is just as good as original fiction if you don't take it seriously as a writer. No matter how much I like the story when I put it up, I won't put up anything that was written without effort applied to make it a complete story.

There's also so much great fanart I should add, but that'll have to go on the to-do list. Back to work.

still thinking about the framing of tbob of it being like. yay!!! the twins are back in town for a visit!!!! the stan twins have finished planning out their trip to the arctic and are now packing their things + buying equipment while soos is getting used to being in charge of the mystery shack!!! they're so close to living out their childhood dream!!!

and then one day the family just hears ford firing the shotgun several times inside the house before driving off in stan's car, coming back minus a trash can, and then proceeds to spend the next few days becoming increasingly paranoid and reclusive and trying to feed a book to waddles, while muttering about how to stop youths from making bad life decisions (surely getting them into moth collecting is the answer!!!)

so of course they realise the best way to help is breaking into ford's room and stealing his shit

The strongest warriors are those that love botw but don't ship zelink (me its me I'm the strongest warrior)

[sol-insidious]

“Din Djarin’s identity as a Mandalorian will always be central to his character, and his devotion to his orthodox religion, warrior’s creed, and its chivalrous code of honor is a truly noble one.”

and

“Din Djarin’s devotion to his creed has fundamentally isolated him from love, his role as The Tribe’s breadwinner was as unsustainable as it gave him purpose, and the fierceness of his faith stems from unprocessed trauma and the guilt he feels as an orphan and a foundling. His views on what it means to be a Mandalorian were narrow until he met others who didn’t conform to his own creed, and in this, his status as an voluntary oathbreaker is equally as integral to his character.”

…are both takes that co-exist in my mind.

I recently bought the choicest paperback copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland:

Put "📓" or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I'll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven't written but daydream about.

Okay so funnily enough this was the ask where I was saying idk if it crossess a boundary or not but well... then my computer reset and I lost my answer asdfgh. For the record it was girl Pierresteban with a little bit of exploration of sexuality for the femslash fest. Considering its for a fest and I have been reminded that I am lowkey rotating a carcar wip in my head anyway that I need to yap about... (that being said I am always down to yap about that girl Pierresteban as well haha)

Anyway, carcar also known as Oscar and the wonders of learning a second (?) language below the cut :3c

For some quick context, its been a hot sec since I dated a Czech person (thank you years of international education and mostly being friends with international people even irl), and more often than not I have dated people whose first language was not one that I speak and even tho none of these relationships was particularly serious, the scenario of what if I end up with someone whose first language I dont speak is a very real possibility. The solution, to me at least, is obviously try and learn the language (I am also bad at learning languages but thats neither here or there)

So anyway, I project this onto a blorbo. Obviously. Carcar, vaguely established relationship but they started as a weird enemies fuckbuddies situationship in the quintessential carcar way and slowly morphed into something... softer, more serious, less angry hate sex fuck our frustrations away and more careful, comfortable, loving even. Still very quintessentially them but also with an undertone of I care about you and your comfort is the priority.

The thing is they've had this slightly less angry relationship going on for about a year but also they are still disasters and have not talked about it. So Oscar is pretty sure they have been together for a while but also have they? Hes realized he cares about Carlos somewhere along the lines and well... Carlos was the one that started the beef in Oscars opinion, so what if this is still just a way to relieve some steam in Carlos' eyes?

But its winter break and Oscar is bored and also maybe a little bit misses Carlos way more than he is willing to admit and somewhere along the lines he decides to learn Spanish. He will not take any questions at this point. Leaning Spanish also carries a certain amount of plausible deniability, its one of the most common languages in the world. Good for connecting with foreign fans or something if anyone asks.

This is roughly where I lose track of the plot for now. Tho this fic is less about the act of learning a new language and more about the intimacy of knowing someone's first language, how much of a person is hidden behind the translation from their first language into a second or even third language, and how learning their first language might just be one of the greatest and most intimate at the same time proclamations of love out there.

And yes, of course they do eventually talk and establish their relationship, and yes, it has stopped being a way to relieve frustration for Carlos months ago as well, obviously. Probably a slightly (very) sappy end, tho we dont talk about Oscars language skills. I can and I will project that part of myself onto him, the inability to learn a language.

Some TAU dragons I drew during an art style test.

I put scars where I assume the chains were during her kidnapping thing in https://archiveofourown.org/works/2599724/chapters/5790359 (hanks supernatural mafia, (I still don’t know how to put links in), plus one on her ear. I don’t remember any mentions of scars on her, but I wanted to experiment with scars.

(Note that I last read the fic months ago at the time I’m posting this)

I also made a dragon Alcor, breaking out of binding chains. (the muzzle and hung is supposed to look like it’s snapping, but it was just a doodle and I didn’t spend much time on the chain designs.)

Lover is five years old now (woah!) and I can still vividly remember the excitement and joy that came along with her releasing this body of work.

[theladyfae]

nothing to me will ever be more iconic than my beloved mutual managing to get me so invested in a (rarepair) ship for a media i had no previous interaction with that i was actively making my own headcanons abt their potential relationship dynamic and making song associations and engaging in others’ brainrot for months before i ever even considered getting in to said media. and now a year later i’m finally writing fic for them but still know next to nothing abt what they’re like in canon cause i still haven’t made it to that part of the story, the memories of the shared delusion are genuinely the only thing keeping me going.
