If I had a nickel every time Violet said "for the win", I'd have two nickels... which isn't a lot but I cringe that it's happened twice.

He said lamely, "She is very beautiful." "And she has the sense not to frighten you," Dach'osmin Ceredin said, and Maia took a step back, wanting to protest her deduction, but unable to deny its truth. "We should take lessons from her, we see."
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison is one of my favorite books of all time, and within it, one of my favorite scenes is Maia and Csethiro's first real interaction at Nurevis' party! so i drew it. their slow romance is so delicious.
#the goblin emperor#katherine addison#tge#me when i dont know how to tag for a mildly popular book that came out ten years ago 🧍♀️tell me if i reached u guys#lowkey this is not really how i have imagined them in the past but i wanted to be more cannon accurate........#i like how they turned out so much though!!!!#book fanart#my art

do yall ever think about bruce/batman!clone danny standing in front of his bathroom mirror after finding out he was a clone and silently tracing his face. The slope of his jaw and point of his chin. The high angle of his cheekbones and the shape of his eyes, the curve of his brow bones and the shape of his nose. The volume of his hair and the way it curls and gets fluffy when it gets too long.
His hair is black the same way a crow's wing is black. His dad's hair is black the same way a black bear's fur is black. His dad's eyes are blue like the ocean is blue. Danny's eyes are blue the same way a glacier is blue.
His dad has a square jaw and straight flat hair, and he tans and gets a face full of freckles when he's out in the sun for too long. Danny burns like a lobster and his face remains untouched. Danny has a sharp jaw and tall cheekbones, and Sam says when he's not smiling there's almost something regal about him. You would never call Jack Fenton "regal" when he's not smiling.
Sam says when he's not smiling he looks scary the same way a stone statue is. Jack Fenton when he's not smiling looks scary the same way that german shepherd staring at you across the street is.
Do you ever think he grew up wondering if he was adopted. Because of course, he has black hair and blue eyes like his dad. But having the same color doesn't make you someone's child.
Or, worse, things he's heard from the other kids and the other parents and even some of his teachers growing up; that he was the product of an affair. And that his dad was just too stupid to notice. And Danny would defend his parents until the day he died, because Jack Fenton wasn't an idiot and Maddie Fenton wasn't a cheater.
But doubt comes in with fickle tongue. his parents swear up and down that he is their child when he asks about either. That Danny just had his grandparents' features, but he was their son and they loved him.
But Danny doesn't look like either of his parents. His mom's eyes are blue like an aquamarine and Jazz's too. And they burn like lobsters in the sun too, but Jazz gets freckles on her face and so does Maddie. And as Danny grows up he doesn't bulk up or get stocky like his dad did, and when he hits puberty he doesn't shoot up like a tree like Jack Fenton did.
He stays small, and they say he's a late bloomer (and he is), or that he just has his mom's height. But he's fast and has good stamina, and some days it feels like he's built entirely different from his family. That the things they went through growing up just didn't apply to him. Jack and Maddie Fenton both had acne and breakouts when they hit puberty, and Jazz inherits it and he's seen the amount of skincare products she keeps on her side of the bathroom.
And then he hits puberty and breaks out maybe once or twice, but his skin stays clear for the most part and the problems and changes his dad went through just don't happen to him.
And the truth is worse than all of the lies.
How horrifying.
#dpxdc#danny fenton is not the ghost king#dp x dc#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc crossover#dpdc#danny fenton is a clone#clone danny fenton#clone danny#thinking about the inherent trauma that comes with growing up as a clone and not knowing and questioning everything about yourself#thinking about the amount of effort and lying that Jack and Maddie would've had to to do if they wanted to pass Danny off as their bio son#the MEDICAL RECORDS#danny's medical history is completely different from theirs. any generational health problems the waynes have would/could be passed down to#danny and he's completely oblivious to it up until the reveal. he'd have no idea about any medical risks until they hit him before that.#so many little things and inconsistencies that would just build and build and build until it finally came to a head and the truth came out#forever and ever and ever fascinated by the underlying horror of being a clone. there's a horror in being cloned but there's also a horror#in BEING a clone. like yes he could've always known from the start and that comes with its own set of issues BUT. just. him not knowing#for the longest time. the lies and deceit and betrayal. you know how adopted kids come out and talk about how they didn't know they were#adopted for the longest time and how traumatizing and betrayed they felt when they're finally told 15-20 years down the line? yeah that#i imagine finding out you're a clone is a lot like that.#i read a book in middle school once abt a girl moving to a new town with her family and getting these horrible nightmares and noticing how#everyone was acting strange around her. one of her nightmares was about the 30yo police officer being a shambling corpse talking to her#and at the end of the book she finds out she's actually the clone of a dead older sister and the police officer was her sister's boyfriend.#and she was in gymnastics but quit and her parents were so disappointed bc the og sister was a champion/award winning gymnastics player#and i never did finish the book but god am i reminded of that.#i love reading the dpxdc clone danny posts and they usually have him brush off being a clone which is literally totally fine but duUUDE#just imagine his own horror over it. its SOOO good

“They changed the narrative from the books to make Athena bad.”
Athena was horrible in the books too, it was just glossed over by everyone. 💀
#percy jackson#annabeth chase#like I have had opinions on Athena for a while#long before the show came out#the idea that she willingly has kids with men without making sure they want kids#the way she DISOWNS Annabeth in hoo#or do you guys just forget that happened#how about the fact that she spent years ignoring annabeth and then had the audacity to disprove of her friendship with Percy#like she was a shit mom in the books too#that wasn’t something added to the show

Do you even know whether you're running toward or away from something anymore? I guess it's all just running, all the same.

just saw someone say Rick Riordan making a TV show is just as bad as anything JKR has done. BFFR you're comparing Rick Riordan trying to make his world more inclusive, changing some parts because of money/time constraints, or just making changes cus he thinks they're needed, to JKR being a terrible person!
#and not to say Ricks work is perfect. ill be the firat to tell you his mistakes. his aspec rep is shit. his minorities rep has problems#he has general time line problems. im not says hes perfect but he tried from a good place#jkr named a character ChoChang. her Scottish character blow stuff up and tried to make alcohol. named a black character Shackelbolt#like damn get over yourself.#percy jackson#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson and the olympians#percy series#pjo series#pjo#pjo tv show#pjo tv series#pjo tv adaptation#if you wanna say shit about Rick ok. but be correct about it#how is he just as bad as jkr for not using the book he made in the early 2000s an exact script for the TV show being released in 2024?#and they yall had the audacity to be pissed when he didn't put a song about sex thats literally says `fuck her face° in the background of#LITERAL 12 YEAR OLDS in a place with memory altering properties..... thats whats you wanted. children getting high to a song about sex.#°oH bUt iN tHe mOvIe tHaT i WaTcHeD wHeN i waS tWeLvE' where the actors where like what 18? and weren't 12? that one? 🙄#some of you are getting on my nerves. yes the show's pacing is eh really thats a reason to curisfy Rick Riordan? thats what you're deciding#this is the line? a tv show thats on its first season and is more accurate then the movies that came out?#good to know

I wonder if Tamsyn ever sees how often the locked tomb or gideon the ninth trend and knows how absolutely rabid and faithful we are towards this series. I hope she feels our passion and love.
#gideon the ninth#the locked tomb#tamsyn muir#everytime it trends my heart is filled#like nona the ninth came out TWO YEARS AGO#and yet this series has such a passionate fanbase#my heart is happy and fulfilled#to be clear i dont mean this as a pressure on her to finish ir#just that its nice its such a strong fandom for a book

#tumblrstake#queerstake#love getting the real deets from my septa- octa- and nonagenarian friend who were there#and what their parents and maybe even grandparents had to say about it.#i have been told unpublished Joseph Smith III stories. let alone old policy and church screwups and the mildly bizzare recollections#also so many stories about encountering/being visited by the 3 Nephites from generations#that kind of lore is the best#yes. pls tell me what you learned in sunday school in 1960.#thanks for the primary book from 1947#Fred M Smith got caught with a beer by Joseph Smith III (his dad) . he hid it in his tuba but tripped#the beer rolls out of the tuba and is picked up by no one other than father JSIII#he hands it back to fred and says something along the lines of “you dropped this”#like where else are you gonna get that#rlds faction “war” where???? kerala 🤯 year?? 1990s#that one was from an ex apostle and is declassified and i used some artistic liscence in description.#community of christ prevailed. but apostle who came to prepare new ministers that had to take over after schism legally can never go back#no one died afaik#i'm just impressed by the apostle who was risking his life for the church in kerala bc theres more to it than this#good history#idk the lgbtq+ history that well other than they did have a group for them at Conference in the 70s#and no open old lgbtq+ friends

me at the weekly team meeting: my personal best for the past week is that they released a trailer for the new season of my favorite show and i'm so excited
manager: what's the show?
me: wheel of time
teammate: oh, i love those books
me instantly acquiring a new target to hunt down and talk the ear off of at the office social gathering tomorrow:
#i didn't really want to go but now i MUST i have to find out all his WOT opinions#i can't believe it! this is one of the people i've worked with most closely over the past couple years and yet this never came up before!#it sounds like he might have only read the books and not watched the show#but i remember he once said he doesn't really watch tv except sports. like some kind of FREAK lmao#so if he's not into the show it might just be for that reason and not because he's a hater#we shall see! if i muster up the energy to go to the thing tomorrow and if he also goes to it#wot

Now that I know more about writing, I'm upset at all the writing advice that urged new writers to find the one best way to write stories, when they should be telling us to play with writing techniques like toys.
Don't tell us to avoid certain points of view! Don't box us into the one currently popular prose style! Let us play and see what effects different techniques achieve, so we can learn the best ways to make use of them! Give us a whole ton of possibility instead of one cookie-cutter template!
#this has been in my head ever since i started churning out this year's short stories#(i'll admit it's possible that i am now able to play with style like this)#(because i've achieved a baseline level of competence with traditional story structure and style)#(so this shouldn't be advice for beginner beginners)#but anyway it came to mind again because i saw someone review a book that was in first-person present-tense#and it did seem like a poor stylistic choice for the subject#but they were like 'present tense is only for juvenile things'#and i was like EXCUSE YOU!#present tense is a stylistic tool that allows for deeper immersion!#and is a totally viable option used in many respected bestsellers#welcome to the 21st century#all the people who were like 'don't use second person'#meanwhile i use second person and get to learn how it creates an intimate relationship with the audience#tools are tools and they are not inherently bad#they just need to be used well and you need to use them to learn how to use them well#thank you for coming to my ted talk#adventures in writing

I personally like the changes in episode 6 because we have seen what happens in the books and the movies but with this new take even hardcore pjo fans get to experience suspense i mean we get to experience something new! idk why some people are mad they are taking creative liberties with the show like why would u want to watch the same thing take place for the third time?? and especially when the creator of the series is the one altering the plot to have it better suited to this gen
#the books came out like 20 years ago and the show has been nothing but faithful to the original material#everyone is entitled to their own opinion ofc but outright bashing the script is so not fair#percy jackson and the olympians#percy jackson show#percy jackson series#percy jackson#pjo#pjo tv show

Suptober [Extended] - Day 18 || Royalty 👑
#suptober extended 23#destiel#castiel#dean winchester#royalty au#wiggleart#spnfanart#this was inspired by a royalty au drawing I did a couple years ago#for destiel month and I liked it but I wanted to try and revisualize it and I really like how it came out#I wanted to do more detail but alas#it was taking me long enough and my poor hand lol#I may add more details for the coloring book but also when I revisit this again at the end of the challenge for full blown color#I know there’s always the prince and not prince fall in love trope#but I like the idea of both of them being princes#the political issues to arise are always great lmao

”oh my fandom is so small that it only has 2 works in ao3-“
MY FANDOM IS SO SMALL THAT IT DOESNT EVEN HAVE AN AO3 TAG. My fandom’s so small that it only has 1 fan and it it ME.
#The book came out like 10 years ago 🫠#Yt has like one review vid from 9 years ago#And searching it doesn’t give me anything#Heck it’s a 3.9 star rating on google#I’m so sad#fanfiction#ao3#fandom
