#lilith saga is excited

[lilithsaga]

While there are a lot of things I'm worried about in the upcoming year, at least I have the OFF game Steam release to look forward to!

ASTRO OBSERVATIONS #3

• sun conjuct moon synastry is so overrated imo

• i know everyone and their mother says this but men that have taurus mercury have the SEXIEST voices ever. it’s like deep and comforting

• i feel like the house where your lilith is placed matters more than the sign itself

• it feels so liberating going from 12th house transits to 1rst house ones

• the sassy man award goes to men with more than 1 scorpio placement 😭😭 (especially mars and venus)

• venus square saturn is THE milf/dilf placement

• scorpio moons love hot showers (and orgasms🤭)

• virgo moons are quite the workaholics

• taurus risings are the sweetest people ever

• im always going through a 5th house transit when something exciting happens in my love life .

• natives with neptune in the 10th house tend to be an icon/star

• i’ve never met a loyal taurus venus person . they always got hoes 😀 but they’re possessive over all of them 💀

• this is just a theory but i think that your sun sign traits fully gets shown when you’re with someone that has their personal placements in your 8th house

• women with libra sun conjunct venus have low standards when choosing a partner. please stand up😔

• gemini placements attracting sagittarius placements is a never ending saga (and vice versa) but i love to see it

• men with aquarius venus are so fashionable

(this is purely based on MY observations and it doesn’t mean that it applies to YOU)

Looking forward to: I have a birthday coming up! December tenth baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm also REALLY excited for the final saga of Epic: The Musical. We don't have a release date yet but I'm hoping it comes out this year!

[ittybittyluci]

Not me eagerly awaiting Epic the Musical’s Underworld Saga release because I feel like it’s going to make for some KILLER HH crossover in the form of horrific Lucifer angst. Like, I’ve already got some ideas flowing. Whether anything comes of them who knows? Whether I remember them? WHO KNOWS. But as of right now? MMM so excited.

Like, just picture this w/ me for a second (I’m gonna put my brain-rot fantasies after the cut for all of y’all who could not give less of a shit):

Imagine the song “The Underworld.”

“This land confuses your mind / When does a man become a monster? / 558 men who died under your command”

It starts with Lucifer closing his eyes, then opening them in like a pitch black environment.

“Captain, Captain, Captain, Captain!”

The first three have of him running into like— more angelic spears which corral him into a corner. The last one he like looks up at just sees ALL the angels glaring at him.

“Why would you let the Cyclops live when ruthlessness is mercy!”

Here I imagine it starts w/ flashbacks of him giving Eve the apple. Then, there’s is like a giant black snake forms from/behind/around the angel and in some way like kinda just.. “consumes” Lucifer, like it jumps up in the air, comes back down on him. He flinched, and when he opens his eyes again he’s alone, on the ground in Hell, covered in blood, and has his demonic traits showing. Idk, just something super symbolically horrific that would def be something u see in a nightmare.

“All I hear are screams… / Every time I dare to close my eyes / I no longer dream / Only nightmares of those who’ve died. / (Nothing’s what it seems) Nothing’s what it seems / but in the underworld the past seems close behind”

Here Lucifer is just looking around at all the carnage and graphic depictions Hell has to offer. I also imagine at some point he sees his own demonic form and like— physically jumps back in fear/repulsion. Just like real graphic, horrific, nightmare fuel. The frames go by somewhat quickly, just a jumbled mess of gore and violence and terror.

“I keep thinking of the infant from that night / I keep thinking of the infant from that night.”

The like gorey images get faster, but also mixed in are actual images of him falling, angellic spears, him giving Eve the apple, Lilith, basically everything that you could imagine is part of his trauma. Like, they just flash by the screen faster and faster on repeat until u can’t even rlly tell what they are anymore. Then, after the second repeat of the verse, the music stops abruptly and he sits up straight in bed, looks around, realizes it was a dream, then it’s just a wide shot of him alone in his room, looking haunted and tired but not panicked anymore.

Idk if I would want him to be staying at the Hotel, or in his castle in his big like King sized bed w/ half the bed not slept in, but either way yummy angst.

——

Haha, oops, went on a little ramble there. Oh well. Hopefully someone will care and agree that this would be bombed. Or not. Who rlly gives a shit? Not me, I just needed to write this down XD.

I also have another idea for the song No Longer You but I’m not gonna go on a whole spiel, and instead just say it starts at “But that’s not a world I know” w/ Luci looking in the mirror at his demon form. Then form “I see a song of past romance” onward is Lucifer reflecting back on Lilith, the apple, his Fall, etc. Then finally on “But it’s no longer you” flash back to present day Lucifer who kinda just sighs and (maybe) sheaths his demonic attributes sadly/ashamed oh b4 walking away.

—

MMM don’t u love when you just have all the ideas but you forgot your stylus at home so you can’t even TRY to attempt to start a project ur never gonna finish?

[windslar]

currently writing character descriptions for generation three characters. maybe a bit spoiler-y but I'm too excited not to share the descriptions for our premade vampires.

VLADISLAUS STRAUD. His face, etched with the lines of centuries carries the weight of a sinister history. The sole survivor of a settling party that vanished without a trace over 200 years ago, Vladislaus shrouded himself in mystery as he turned bones and ruins into the town of Forgotten Hollow. Although he's the founder with a statue of his likeness in the townsquare, he remains a recluse, a solitary figure who engages only with the very few he trusts – the very few he’s sworn to protect. By day, Vladislaus is at the mercy of modern laws of diplomacy. By night, his true nature awakens. He hunts, his predatory movements a chilling reminder of the monster within. Though the times have tempered his bloodlust, an edge of cruelty remains. He shows no mercy to trespassers on his domain. However, beneath the mask of disdain lies an enigma. He keeps a watchful eye from the shadows, intervening when danger threatens his domain.

LILITH VATORE. The embodiment of aristocratic allure with a beauty both breathtaking and intimidating. Turned by a legendary vampire and trained by the master himself, Lilith is a prodigy in the dark arts. She wields her abilities with grace and precision, her thirst for knowledge extending beyond mere combat. She shares a special bond with her brother despite their many differences in opinion, especially when it involves humans. She finds human affairs tedious and their short lifespans pathetic, preferring the company of other creatures of the night.

CALEB VATORE. His lineage boasts the same vampiric grace and ageless beauty as his sister, but his demeanor is gentle. He holds a curiosity about the world beyond the dark arts. Caleb is a pacifist at heart, a trait that constantly clashes with his peers’ disdain for humanity. This vampire sees a world of possibilities in coexisting with mere mortals, believing the current ceasefire is just the first step at bridging the gap between species. Whether it’s finding a new sustenance source or mediating between factions, his unwavering belief in peaceful solutions earns him grudging respect.

Oh, you're here. You clicked. Thank you for reading and sharing in my excitement. Here's a bonus character description 🤗🤗🤗

BRONWEN WOODCOCK. Her obsession with the Evenfall Saga is legendary. She quotes author Maaike Haas with a religious fervor even though everyone knows the vampire series is more wish fulfillment than award-worthy literature. Bronwen’s passion for the books fuels her desire to write fanfiction. The problem? Her current story is cringeworthy. And the comments section? Barren just like her dating life. However, she’s serious about her craft, so she dives headfirst into vampire school to elevate her fanfic from questionable to classic.

[rebelumbrella46]

I feel like I must be the only person who is more excited about Ash Morgenstern than Kit and Ty.

The potential that this character has… he is directly linked to the main characters of the main saga of the Shadowhunters Chronicles (not to mention the best villains, Sebastian and the Seelie queen, and also Valentine and Lilith)

I'm also excited about the Ty, Kit and Drusilla stories, but I honestly don't care much about the romantic relationships…

[hyenahunt]

Saga: Rivals - 27

Writer: Akira

Season: Winter

Characters: Hiyori, Seiya, Hokuto, Jin, Chiaki, Tori

Proofreading: 310mc (JP) & hyenahunt (ENG)

Translation: kotofucius

Chiaki: (Ohh!? Tomoe’s coming over here! Oh no, he’s hitching a free ride on our performance… You could say he's also turning up his "power of seduction"!)

[Read on my blog for the best viewing experience with Oi~ssu ♪]\

Location: Reverse Live Stage

Hiyori: “♪~♪~♪”

Hiyori: (Phew, it’s certainly growing rather repetitive.)

(But that's just to be expected… These three songs were predetermined before Reverse Live, and the rule is that the two competing units sing them at the same time.)

(If the units had a free choice of songs, then the situation would be too advantageous for us as Lilith, considering how we've made our preparations since long before.)

(This was a sudden concert for the other units, so they didn’t have enough practice.)

Hiyori: (Well, winning would be much easier if we took every advantage we could, though…)

(And we wouldn’t have to bore the audience like this by forcing them to sit through the same few songs, over and over.)

(It’s bothering me, just a bit. Hidaka-sensei was apparently the one who decided the workings of Reverse Live…)

(Perhaps Sensei doesn’t want to have such an overwhelming victory against everyone else, I suppose?)

Hiyori: (Whatever is he thinking? If he intends to lead me and Jun-kun towards an unhappy end… then I shan’t play so nice anymore.)

Seiya: “~…♪”

(Fufu. I see you’re simply brimming with questions, Hiyori-kun.)

(Yet, I do value that you spare no effort for your performance, that you move so as to give even the same song a different impression each time.)

(But Lilith has taken the stage countless times since the concert began in order to establish our lead — far more than Rain-bows.)

(Humans adapt, and we tire of seeing the same thing over and over — )

(With each performance, the audience’s interest naturally diminishes.)

(Yet, if Rain-bows was so trivial, naive, and weak, we would’ve overpowered them at this point.)

Hokuto: “♪~♪~♪”

Jin: “…☆”

Seiya: (But through one way or another, they’ve managed to give a refreshing performance each time.)

(I'd expect no less from experts of the DreamFest system — they've managed to guess at and deduce the right way to win this Reverse Live.)

(They’re strategically advancing onwards. Jin-kun's forte is bringing out a seductive performance of captivating the fans into falling in love with him, but they stashed it away — )

(All for the perfect chance to reveal it: in their decisive fight against Lilith.)

(With this, they're blowing away the new fans, and exciting the old ones by giving them just what they’d been waiting for.)

(The impact must be truly something and highly effective — they've played a good hand. And most likely, they’re still hiding many more.)

(But we’ve had our fair of practice as well, all this time… There's no way we'll lose when it comes to the sheer number of tactics.)

(Isn’t that right, Hiyori-kun? …Go on and show them. Seduction is one of your duo's specialties as well, isn’t it?)

Hiyori: “~…♪”

Chiaki: (Ohh!? Tomoe’s suddenly coming over here! Oh no, he’s hitching a free ride on our performance… You could say he's also turning up his "power of seduction"!)

(According to Reverse Live’s rule of us singing at the same time… This isn’t a foul.)

(He’s not interfering with our performance either, so we can’t make him stop.)

(But! I’m different from who I was last year; I won’t let you steal away the audience’s gaze!)

(I’ll fight Tomoe to restrain him! The rest are up to you, my comrades!)

Chiaki: (I believe in you, Rain-bows! They’re only three people, but we’re four! If it takes one of us to take down one of them, we have the advantage of one more person!)

(It's simple math! Our grand victory is assured…☆)

Hiyori: (Oh, what's this…? Nicely done, I must say, you've succeeded in becoming the very picture of seduction. So one really can change, as long as they have the will to… and to think you used to be so plain and dull, Megane-kun.)

(Nonetheless! I must ask that you don’t take me so lightly! Do you truly believe you can hold me back all on your own?)

(If so, then what a lark! Allow me to show you just what I can do…☆)

Tori: “♪~♪~♪”

Hiyori: (…Well, I never! That's quite some excellent teamwork! Tori-kun made a swift judgment and moved to keep me in check!)

(Even if it might prove a challenge for Chiaki-kun to handle alone, there should be no issue with Tori-kun’s assistance, you believe? Aha! Why, I won’t lose even when there's two of you…♪)

(Not to mention, we have Hidaka-sensei on our side. He’s a grandmaster you shan’t be able to take down even altogether…)

(Do you think it wise to occupy two people with me in spite of that?)

Tori: “~…♪”

Hiyori: (…Aha, I see how it is from that look on your face!)

(You understand well, Tori-kun — We have our pairs linked by destiny — Jun-kun and Sagami-sensei, and the Hidaka father-son pair… The likes of us outsiders should back off and leave them alone, shouldn't we?)

(Yes, yes, very well, then! I have no qualms! I shall take your hand and dance to your tune — after all, our feelings are one and the same…♪)

Tori: (Wow… Hiyori-sama’s feelings are getting across to me… It’s like bathing in warm sunshine.)

(We’re supposed to be enemies, fighting a critical battle…)

(But instead, it feels as though we’re comrades brightening up the same show together, supporting and elevating each other. No, it’s as though we’re melting together…)

(It feels like if I let my guard down, Hiyori-sama will fill me up from head to toe.)

(The thought of that makes me kinda happy, though. I was really such a big fan of yours…)

(It was once my dream to sing as a member of the old fine, alongside Eichi-sama and Hiyori-sama.)

Tori: (But, y'know, it’s no longer a dream I want to achieve so badly that I'd sell off all my other ones!)

(I’m Rain-bows, and at the same time a member of the new fine after you left it!)

(Now, fine is who I am!)

Tori: (And the present me… can shine way brighter than the fine of the past, who had no choice but to shed blood for a great cause!)

(Watch me, Hiyori-sama! Believe in me and cheer me on!)

(‘Cause I’ll be sure to turn even you into a huge fan of mine…☆)

Hiyori: (Ahahaha! Such a tomboyish princess, aren't you! I can hear your feelings loud and clear!)

(For the sole fact that we could inspire the birth of someone like you, perhaps there was value in our existence after all, hm?)

(Eichi-kun! Tsumugi-kun! Nagisa-kun! Are you all watching? Heaven can be found here, and so can a brilliant future…☆)

Loregamot Study Guide Vol. 2

Greetings again, class, knights. With tomorrow bringing the results of our hard fought investigation, it is about time I updated those wanting to follow along with this exciting saga on the latest developments.

You can read the first summary, including the purpose of our research here.

With that covered, let us get into newest news!

At the publishing of the first study guide, @cosmobergamot was on leave, and so on his return shortly after, we were eager to ask him more questions. While he was still reluctant to answer anything directly, he did recognize the speech quirk of void calling people "Poppet", and this recognition made him more wary. We attempted to use this wariness as a reason that we should be given more information, and it was at this point that the Professor informed us that he did not have the authorization to tell us about Void or their battle at the amphitheater, and he didn't know the authorization key for that information. (He described his inability to tell us more as "being under an NDA".) Nonetheless, we did learn one more piece of information - we confirmed that the spell Cosmo used to disintegrate Void was not the usual Disintegrate spell, and was a spell of his own creation - which itself requires authorization from the library.

Towards the end of this August 5th Minecraft stream, a stray comment also prompted the Professor to tell us about his battle against a group known as the Doom League, and grant us our first authorization key, "firefly", to give to the library. This authorization key gave us much interesting lore, and motivated much new speculation and questioning. Many theories were made into the cursed items and people involved, and the story drew more attention to Key Lake, which is also where the amphitheater where Cosmo and Void fought was located.

The discovery of the Doom League, and the questions following it, motivated me to host a live study session on August 12th, where myself and other students looked over the information we had thus far, brainstormed more questions to ask @temaylibrary, and searched for where to "speak the cursed name and enter". A very important result of this group study session was the decision to look deeper into what library found in relation to the term "the Scattered Void", which I had previously brushed off as dead ends.

We inquired about the entity known as Empty, and confirmed that this was referring to Void.

We also inquired about the magician who researched gravity, and learned about a theoretical class-3 spell called Black Void, which, if cast, would destroy the world. (Classes of spells are a separate topic, but suffice to say, class-3 spells are not able to be cast by any known means.)

We also pursued other leads, but these two topics would be the ones most relevant to our search for Void.

On the 14th, Cosmo once again took to stream. Armed with the answers the library had provided us from our study session, we immediately assaulted him with questions based on what we had learned. Despite his NDA, we were able to clarify the following:

Back when The Horizon fought and defeated Empty, it did not have a discernible form - it did not like a goth Professor Cosmo.

Cosmo does not believe he was possessed, taken over, or otherwise body-snatched by Empty during that battle, and the enchantments on his hat are not related to that battle.

Empty had control over time and space, making it difficult (on top of the NDA) for Cosmo to describe his abilities - but the danger he posed was related to the theoretical Black Void spell.

We were much wiser, and yet, we still did not know what exactly was the cursed name, and how and where to enter it. Knowing that the Professor could not give us the authorization key to learn more about Void, how were we meant to answer our remaining questions and find him? Lilith inquired this very thing, and received the suggestion that someone "unscrupulous" would have to give us it. This, combined with a hint that "if you found [where to speak the cursed name], you would know" eventually led us to discover what had been within our reach since the very beginning:

"I am @thescatteredvoid"

We found a tumblr account: https://thescatteredvoid.tumblr.com/ It is password protected, and only accessible on desktop. The class banded together to go through all that we knew and enter the cursed name. Thanks to an unfortunate oversight, it took us many attempts to arrive at the answer: cosmobergamot. But we did it. We spoke the cursed name... and entered.

I will allow you to see the blog for yourself. What's most important, is Void is the one who would give us our authorization key: "peppermint". We asked the library about it, and now, we will have our answers Saturday, August 19th.

Will this answer all our questions - will it be the end of the Loregamot saga? Or will tomorrow be the library's third installment of our study guide, only providing the context we need to understand and appreciate the conflict still to come?

It's only a matter of time now...

[darkmatter-nebula]

The next part of the Breath of the Wild-esque Saga for the "Lost But Now Found" AU Multiverse (Colliverse) ahead, my dear fellas! Hunter finally arrives at Lilith's place to fully upgrade the Celestial Scroll. Also, the young Grimwalker frees the first ancient machine from Calamity Belos' control. The blonde boy also regains a piece of his memories about Colli. Let's go!

Drabble: Tales From The Multiverse - Chapter 2: Precious Memories

"You finally returned!" Lilith, who looked like a little girl, much to Hunter's surprise, was clearly excited. As it turned out, a failed experiment made Lilith much younger. Fortunately, she was able to help him with the Celestial Scroll.

Not that much later, the young Grimwalker found the first machine. A goopy creature, a piece of Calamity Belos, took control of it. The monster used powerful ice spells. Even though, it didn't stand a chance against Hunter.

On a green meadow, Hunter's mind was flooded with memories! He remembered a certain small starboy with otherworldly fluffy lavender hair and a heart of gold, Prince Colli! He truly was Hunter's beloved little brother!

The memory showed Colli, who placed a flowercrown on top of Hunter's head. The immortal and eternal child had a sweet smile on his adorable multi-colored face as Hunter pressed with infinite tenderness his forehead against Colli's.

Hunter felt a pleasant warmth creeping up his chest. "Colli, my beautiful little Sunshine. I will save you, I promise!" The blonde boy remembered the unbreakable and unconditional brotherly love he felt for the kindhearted celestial boy.

To be continued...

Hello everybody!

Video will be coming out a day late since I am back from a vacation and didn't have time to edit.

But I also have another reason. Bye bye laptop-kun. Say hello to PC Desktop-kun! 🌈

[honestlyfullfox]

These events have installation plenty of exciting

Unlike the preceding self-contained video games, Diablo Immortal's story is probably still ongoing, with Blizzard promising even larger content updates inside the future. The occasions of Diablo 3 and its expansions may be set, but the developer still has a truthful amount of time in among entries to play with if it wants to expand Diablo IV Gold Immortal's story.

It may blend the two video games, with activities in the mmog going for walks simultaneously to Diablo 3's movement. This can get a bit convoluted, but, and may need a few mild retconning to make it viable. Diablo 3 represented a few essential plot factors for the franchise, just like the Archangel Tyrael's banishment from the excessive Heavens, the search for the Black Soulstone, and the temporary resurrection of Diablo earlier than he's defeated via the Nephalem.

These events have installation plenty of exciting narrative possibilities for the approaching Diablo 4, with a purpose to awareness on the return of Lilith, the daughter of Mephisto and the mother of Sanctuary.

Because of the ongoing conflicts which have ravaged all of the realms and depleted the forces of the high Heavens and the Burning Hells, Lilith's go back to wreak havoc and capture lower back manipulate couldn't have come at a worse time for humanity. With Sanctuary's fate once more inside the palms of players, it will be exciting to buy cheap Diablo IV Gold provides to the continuing Diablo saga.

Intro Returns: Writeblr XIII

(okay, that was a silly title, but yes, the pen-name is an allusion~)

'Lo! I'm Lilith, and I write fantasy, usually with sapphic heroines. My tastes in fiction usually lean towards the fantastical, with the occasional sci-fi, and I enjoy books, games, and a few animated shows.

My tastes in fiction are for more positive works, with optimistic perspectives and uplifting themes rather than cynical and pessimistic attitudes. My own writing reflects those values, aiming to be hopeful and encouraging, stories that are proud of being positive rather than relishing in negativity and suffering—especially of female and queer characters.

As for my main projects (currently)...

✨ Glints Saga ✨

The magic doesn't go away.

Glints Saga is a series of urban-fantasy magical-girl web-novels, inspired by the classics of the genre such as Sailor Moon, Tokyo Mew Mew, and Pretty Cure—playing with the tropes and conventions of the genre without abandoning its uplifting and empowering spirit.

These stories are set in a city that was once under attack by magical beings from another world, until five heroines brought an end to the invasion—and set the stage for peace between humankind and the creatures they called "Outsiders". As magic and magical beings integrate into human life, so too do the heroines who once protected humankind from danger, facing new struggles and challenges. These are stories of the strength of friendship, being true to yourself, and growing as a person.

The first novel in the series, Papillon, is the story of one of the first heroines. Now living an ordinary life with an ordinary job, Faye Brice finds herself wistfully reminded of her exciting past upon seeing Outsiders in Garden City. Then one day, a butterfly-woman Outsider leaves her fascinated—and mutual curiosity sparks a friendship between the two, a relationship that leaves Faye wondering how her new friend Monara truly thinks of her. Faye's bond with Monara could bring magic back into her life...or it could endanger her remaining friendships with her fellow heroines, the secrets they share, or even the peace they once fought for.

Read Glints Saga: Papillon now on Ao3!

The second novel in the series, Dove, is the story of a new heroine, facing a new magical crisis. Nixe Fulton has only ever wanted a normal life, a normal family. But one day, she discovers she is anything but normal: she is one of a new group of heroines, empowered to stop a new foe who is turning once-peaceful Outsiders into berserk monsters. Her magical gift could bring peace back to Garden City, and it could fulfill her greatest wish...but chasing that latter hope might draw a line between her and her fellow heroines.

Borderlands: Skies the Bodyguard 3

Thus wraps up part 3 of Skies saga. I said before that part 4 wasn't gonna follow any of the games, but that was before I was able to play Commander Lilith's dlc. Part 4 is gonna take place at the same time but not entirely follow it. More like it's going to be going on while Skies deals with her own stuff. And then part 5 will follow Borderlands 3.

Conclusion

           The Crimson Raiders, Rhys, Sasha, Vaughn, Loader Bot, Gortys, Athena, August, Timothy, Skies, and Claptrap all stand by the cave entrance to the underground tunnels, waiting for Fiona to let them in.

           “Alright,” she declares, “you can each get five feet. The rest is mine.”

           “We owe Moxxi a piece too,” Vaughn points out.

           “Yeah, yeah, save her a spot,” Fiona nods dismissively.

           Everyone starts to walk inside, babbling excitedly about all the Eridium and what they’re gonna do with it. Claptrap hurries through the group, carrying Skies on his head.

           “Let’s do this fast before I lose my nerve,” she mumbles then clears her throat. “Lilith!”

           Everyone stops as Claptrap approaches Lilith. The Crimson Raiders warily reach for their guns while Rhys, Vaughn, Timothy, and Gortys look between them and Skies, unsure what to do.

           “What do you want?” Lilith asks.

           Skies awkwardly clears her throat. “Look, I uh…I know there’s no way to make you forgive me for what I did. And I know I don’t deserve forgiveness. And maybe there’s no way to make things better between us, and I accept that too. You can hate me forever if you want. But I still want to prove that I can be better, even if you don’t believe it. It’s the least I can do for you…a-and…for Angel too… And maybe this won’t change anything, but I still wanna try whatever I can. That’s why-!”

           She reaches into her coat. The Crimson Raiders start to draw their guns as Skies whips out her arm and points it at Lilith.

           “I’m sorry!”

           Everyone freezes as they see just what she’s holding: the old Siren collar.

           Lilith stares at it with surprise then looks at Skies. Her eyes are squeezed shut and her shoulders are hunched up.

           Lilith takes the collar and Skies warily cracks open her eyes.

           “You’re right,” Lilith says, “this doesn’t change anything.”

           She turns away, clutching the collar. “But…thanks.”

           Skies relaxes as she watches Lilith walk away in shock. Then she winces as someone claps a hand on her shoulder and looks up at Zer0. He flashes a happy face emoji and she smiles back.

           As he slips by, she looks at the other Crimson Raiders. They’ve put their guns away and while they don’t look as happy as Zer0, their glares as they look at her have softened.

           “Wow,” Skies comments, “I fully expected her to blast me.”

           “Told you apologizing would work,” Claptrap chimes, “now can we get our Eridium?”

           “Not yet. We got one more thing to do,” she points out.

           “Oh, right,” he grunts and rolls away as everyone else starts to enter the cave. They approach Rhys and he stops, looking at Skies expectantly. She glances around to make sure no one is watching before handing him his old ECHO eye.

           “Thanks,” Rhys replies then looks at Claptrap worriedly. “Um…”

           “Don’t worry. Claptrap’s on the level,” Skies says.

           “Yup,” he chirps, “Skies said if I tell anyone about this, she’ll screw my servos around, which is not as sexy as it sounds.”

           Rhys sighs as he looks at his ECHO eye. “What am I going to do with him?”

           “Whatever you want,” Skies replies, “he’s your responsibility.”

           “That’s too much responsibility.”

           “You want to rebuild a multi-million dollar company.”

           “That still sounds easier than dealing with Jack.”

           Skies chuckles. “Well, whatever you decide, you’ll have my full support.”

           Rhys smiles gratefully as he pockets the eye. “Are you coming back to Old Haven with me?”

           “Yeah, I got nowhere else to go. Besides, I kind of need your help again,” Skies points out as she wiggles her shoulder stump. “You’re always helping me.”

           “That’s okay. That’s what friends do,” he smiles.

           She smiles back then sighs contently. “Alright, Clappy. Let’s go stake our claim.”

           “Yes!” Claptrap cheers and rolls into the cave. “I’m gonna make a new chassis entirely out of Eridium.”

           Rhys watches them leave then hears someone cough obnoxiously beside him. He flinches with surprise as he turns to Fiona, who glares at him accusingly. He awkwardly chuckles, clears his throat, and sighs as he looks out at the island.

           “Well, the facility was a bust,” he says, “but all this Eridium should help a lot with getting me starting funds, so I guess it wasn’t a total failure.”

           “Looks like success to me,” Fiona remarks as she looks at the Eridium filled cave.

           “And what are your plans?” Rhys asks.

           “First, get off this planet,” she replies, “after that, I don’t know yet. Guess I’ll improvise.”

           “You’re pretty good at that,” he smiles.

           Fiona smiles back and hooks a thumb at the cave. “You better make sure those vultures don’t steal any of the good plots.”

           “Wait, you mean I also only get five feet?” Rhys questions as they enter the cave. “I deserve at least thirty percent.”

           “Forget that!”

           “This island was my prize too!”

           “The facility was your prize! It’s not my problem it was ruined!”

           They argue like brother and sister as they walk through the tunnels, past all the Vault Hunters babbling like excited children about their newfound riches.

Thanks for answering! I love your ideas :D Can't believe no one else asked o_O I look forward to read you new fic (and kind of hope you'd write more for 'Can We Just Pretend?' it's so great!!) Also, will you submit a script for the MadamSpellman scene Miranda and Michelle talked about? I wonder if they'll really do it but considering Miranda's love for the ship, she'll probably push Michelle (at least, I wish she would!!) What about 63Mistaken for Couple and 99Magical Accidents (MS again)? <3

Hey, thanks so much! 💕 I definitely want to write more for Pretend. I have a whole freaking saga planned out and so many ideas. I just never have the time and energy to write, honestly, which makes me sad. But there are a couple things I’m close to having done, the next chapters of Pretend and Ocean Eyes among them! I’ll hopefully have them the way I want soon, but it’s a busy time. It means so much to know there are still people interested in reading my work tho, really. It gives me a lot of motivation!

I also would really love to submit a script for them, but honestly I have absolutely no idea what I would write! If anything, I’d probably adapt something I already have in my drafts, because I’m terrible at things like this where I could literally write anything 😅 I do think they would both love to do it—it just depends on if the people running the collection are able to actually get it to them. Tbh I think Miranda should just write her own, since clearly she has a vision for this ship 😂

Anyway!!! The prompt! This one is just begging for something ridiculous involving a potion gone wrong that ends up with the two of them in a compromising situation. Accidental love/lust potion, something blows up and ruins one of their shirts so they have to take it off, they somehow get their hands glued together, idk—the possibilities are endless. But needless to say, someone walks in and thinks something entirely different is going on, and they’re both way too proud to admit they messed up (probably Zelda messed up bc Lilith was distracting her), so they let the rumor spread. Hijinks ensue as they try to privately fix whatever happened and make sure no one finds out the truth while fielding all the excitement and questions about their apparent relationship.

Send me 2 tropes and a ship

Jamie Lee Curtis will play Tannis in upcoming Borderlands Movie

Starring as Tannis It’s been announced that Jamie Lee Curtis has signed on to the Borderlands Movie produced by Lions Gate. She has been cast to play Tannis and will play alongside  Kevin Hart (as Roland) and Cate Blanchett (as Lilith). From the sounds of her tweet, she is SUPER EXCITED to be part of this movie. Eli Roth, the director of the Borderlands, is also glad to have her on board. Working with the iconic Jamie Lee Curtis has been a life long dream of mine, and I am so excited for her to bring her humor, warmth, and brilliance to the role of Tannis. – Director  Eli Roth  Dr. Patricia Tannis is an archeologist on the planet of Pandora. Her expertise could help lead to a mysterious vault filled with ancient alien technology. She has a tricky background with Blanchett’s character, Lilith. Opinions It looks like they are taking the  Borderlands movie very seriously as they are casting some big talents. Kevin Hart may be a weird choice if we look at type-casting. Although, some actors have shown their true skills when given a completely different type of role than they usually played. While I like Jamie Lee Curtis, she has done a lot of great movies, I’m also thinking about sequels. What if this try and figure out video game movies is a success and 1 movie turns into a “Marvel Cinematics Universe” with multiple sequels and spin-offs.  Jamie Lee Curtis is getting older, which may be a risk to the long jeberty of the franchise. But folks also addressed their concern about Cate Blanchett’s age. I think we all expected younger actors, that have a similar age as the character they portray. I’m still looking forward to the movie and hopefully, they can blow my socks off. BORDERLANDS THE MOVIE Eli Roth has been signed on to be the director of the upcoming Borderlands movie. Craig Mazin wrote the script for the Borderlands Movie. He recently won 2 Emmys for his work on HBO’s Chernobyl. Avi Arad and Ari Arad are signed on the be the producers for this Lionsgate movie. They are basically responsible for setting the superhero genre on the map. From Iron man to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse. Erik Feig is also a producer and known for adapting books into great movies. Some examples are The Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games series, and the Divergent series. Cate Blanchett will play Lilith in the upcoming Borderlands Movie. Kevin Hart will play Roland

Book Review

Dark Age by Pierce Brown

The fifth book in the Red Rising saga, so I’m gonna skip a synopsis to prevent spoilers. There will be spoilers for the rest of the series, so read on at your own risk. There are some things I absolutely need to talk about in this book, so spoilers for Dark Age will be under the cut.

3/5 stars

My thoughts:

This was by far the grimmest book in the series so far - there was never a break in the action; it was always one thing immediately followed by anther

I feel like I literally had no clue what was going on at points - there were so many groups of people all doing different things at the same time and it confused me loads (might be an effect of listening to the audiobook)

Thought I wouldn’t like Mustang’s pov but I quite enjoyed it. Nowhere near as much as some of the others but she was an interesting character to read from

Lysander annoyed me so much in Iron Gold but he grew on me loads in this one. Couldn’t stand his new narrator though

Lyria and Ephraim were still my favourite pov characters. Feel like with every book I care less and less about Darrow

I never know what direction these books are going in and honestly some of the plot twists in this were so unexpected I don’t think anyone could have guessed it. Some of them did feel a bit contrived and ridiculous which wasn’t great but tbh even if it was all bad I’d still read the next one for the characters

I cried at literally every one of these books except this one. That’s not to say bad things didn’t happen; they definitely did, but I think this lack of an emotional response might be due to the neverending horrors of this book as opposed to its predecessors

SPOILERS!!

First off, as if Ephraim died?? I wasn’t happy, almost wished Darrow had died like everyone predicted instead

Everything that went down with the Obsidians was mental, can’t get over the carnage of it and Sefi’s death in particular

Was super stressed about Lyria because we never had any chapters for almost the entire first half of the book but the wait was SO worth it for Lyria, Volga and Victra bonding. Their friendship(?) was my favourite thing about this book by far

Was devastated about Ulysees’ death, Victra has been through so much. Just glad Lyria and Volga could be there for her

Can someone please explain to me what the hell is going on with the baby jackal clone?? I actually couldn’t believe that when it happened, this was possibly the most ridiculous/horrifying thing about the book, especially when you think about his weird relationship with Lilith now

So I say Lysander grew on me ... up until he straight up killed Alexander! I was certain they were going to be friends and then that happened. I’m actually super upset about this and Rhona having to deal with that

I 100% knew Cassius was still alive. Can’t pull the wool over my eyes. I’m excited to see where this goes though now that he’s back but against Lysander and working with the Rising, especially because they might blame him for how Lysander turned out because he basically raised him, and Lysander is going to feel so betrayed by it
