another engelsfors thingy :P (summer 2023)

[lampmanliveblogs]

mentioning lapis there made me reflect that lapis would probably be even *more* terrifyingly overpowered in the demon realm than she is on earth, since in addition to being able to throw a substantial portion of the ocean at you, the ocean is now also *boiling*

I did think about that while writing! I guess it is true what they say; great minds think alike. And yeah, that would be really scary!

Lapis Lazuli is easily in the top three scariest water witches I've ever seen. I'd probably rank Juvia Lockser (Fairy Tail) and Linnéa Wallin (Engelsfors Trilogy) above her. Not because they're more powerful than Lapis, but if I so much as look at Grey the wrong way, Juvia will drown me. And Linnéa is a mind reader. Mind readers terrify me.

Thank you so much for tagging me!!!

3 ships: Doctorriver (Doctor Who), as always, Wellenore (Poeparty), MC x Amalia (It Lives Within) - Hang on, I think I just figured out my type in ships. Because the other two coming to mind were Eleanor x Chidi and Orpheus x Euridice and -

Now that's not concerning at all

First ship: I'm not sure... I think the first people I was actively rooting for before they became a thing were Linnéa Wallin and Vanessa Dahl of the Circle trilogy. Felt such vindication and excitement when I had interpreted the signs correctly and not just been reading a lot into nothing. Similar moment to thasmin eotd, honestly

Last song: Spotify says Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond but I listened to some Murray Gold after

Last film: Ice Age, I think?

Currently reading: Still La Meute. I have finished several books in between but I need to finish that one soon

Currently craving: I could go for a hug, too. Also some rain trousers, my bike is waiting outside in the downpour and I don't want to join her like this 😭

Fav color: purple. And blue. And every other colour basically, give me a rainbow :)

Relationship status: single

Last thing googled: tumblr.com, too, also now images of my lovely ships to connect the dots about my preferences live and in colour

Current obsessions: dw as per usual, also I've recently been getting more and more into Anne of Green Gables. And the day before yesterday I had a surge of renewed wellenore obsession (go watch poeparty (for free on yt), best series ever made that features hg wells falling in love with a sassy ghost)

Thank you for the tag @kisses-quitefrenchthat!

3 ships: Jenny/Vastra (Doctor Who), Xena/Gabrielle (Xena), Janeway/Seven (Star Trek: Voyager)

First ship: HaruMichi (Haruka/Michiru from Sailor Moon) gods I was obsessed with them for years

Last song: Do it for her from the SU soundtrack dhfsjgjkfd

Last film: oh god, I don’t watch that many movies, let me think… The Doctor Who Movie, if I’m not mistaken? Which I watched on Christmas Eve.

Currently reading: Seven Mercies by Laura Lam and Elizabeth May (haven’t read on for a while because I’m trying not to burn out from uni XD)

Currently craving: a hug? If we’re talking about food, sushi

Fav color: green! And violet, I think.

Relationship status: chronically and happily single

Last thing googled: tumblr.com (beloved hellsite)

Current obsessions: Paternoster Gang is going strong, isn’t it XD That, mostly. As per usual. And Xena/Gabrielle which is very Jenny/Vastra coded. (I’ve also fallen into Carmilla webseries, but I’m trying not to let it take me over)

Adults trust teens with newfound powers to save the world because they are “the chosen ones”

Title: The circle

Author: Sara Bergmark Elfgren, Mats Strandberg

Genre: Fantasy, horror, young adult

Publication year: 2011

Main character: The book follows six “chosen ones”, Rebecka, Minoo, Ida, Anna-Karin, Vanessa, and Linnéa. Other than just starting secondary school, and realizing they are witches and the chosen ones to stop a great evil, they don't have much in common. Rebecka is a popular girl in school, a bonus parents at home, and is a fire element witch. Minoo is a good student, teachers pet, and has no element. Ida is a nice person in front of teachers, but a bully to her classmates, and has metal as her element. Anna-Karin is an outcast and bully victim in school, has a rough home-life, and is an earth witch. Vanessa is an outgoing party girl, seen as a slut by other, and has air as her element. Linnéa is a goth girl and a social outcast with a terrible home life, and is a water witch.  

Story: In the first of three books; the school year has just started when a student is found dead in one of the schools bathrooms. It is believed to be a suicide, but in reality, there is something much darker behind his death. No long after, on a night with a blood red moon, six girls are brought to a park without knowing how or why. They are then informed that they are witches and the “chosen ones” who were foretold in an ancient text. They must work together and learn to control their newfound powers so they can find and kill the evil chasing them, before it find and kills them.

Reading experience: Yet another Swedish fantasy book series that I just adore. It has all my favorite things. Witchcraft, magic, interesting magic that is used well, and characters that feel real. It always makes me happy to see a Swedish book series blowing up and spreading across the world. I also appreciate some magic that isn’t sunshine and rainbows, and more blood and rituals. 

I was skeptical at first to having 6 main characters, but the book takes its time to flesh out and differentiate the characters. It’s a bit confusing at first, but soon enough you learn who they all are. It does have some intense murder and self harm scenes, bully, language, sex, and almost rape, so if you are sensitive, read with precaution. 

I remember plowing through the books as a young teen, shocked by its content, but wanting to know more. The magic and their powers interested me, and some of their reactions to gaining said powers. Some powers align clearly to the elements, like being able to start fires, and some aren't as clearly connected to the element, but cool nonetheless, like turning invisible and controlling people. Their reactions to their new powers are also fitting for the type of characters they are, like Anna-Karin, the bullied one, using her power of controlling people to become popular. 

It mixes the real world and real problems well with the magical world and magical problems. The series doesn't shy away from these real life problems, like bullying, drugs, self harm, eating disorders, and such, and doesn't try to romanticize it. The writers are aware that these are teens already dealing with serious real life problems, and now also have to save the world, and watch people die. 

A bit of a spoiler, but there's a teacher that is in love with one of the main characters because she looks like his dead girlfriend and everything about that is disgusting and terrifying. Everything about him in general is kinda disgusting and terrifying. I hate him.

Old Linnéa drawing (summer 2023)

[twijfelaar]

Vanessa wakes up to the singing of birds, sunshine through her window and an arm lightly draped across her back. She slowly blinks and looks sleepily at Linnéa who is slowly breathing in and out. She is lying on her stomach, spread out like a star, always touching Vanessa. Always connected.

Vanessa stares and for a moment wonders if this is real. If they are really here. She moves her hand towards Linnéa’s back and moves one finger from her neck to her back to the small slope just above her ass. They are touching, her hand is not passing through, they are here. They are solid. They are alive.

All is serene and Vanessa closes her eyes again.

The next time she wakes up serenity has left the house because Melvin is running around and Vanessa can hear her mom telling him to put on pants. Vanessa wants to groan but when she opens her eyes she can see Linnéa smiling with her eyes closed.

They stopped the apocalypse and now they are here. Happy.

Her door bangs open and Vanessa sits up straight, she can feel Linnéa stiffen next to her but it’s just Melvin. He is holding the stuffed penguin Vanessa got him and looks at her with squinty eyes.

“You are still here.”

Vanessa can feel the pain travel through her body. Melvin doesn’t understand why she left, both times and he is suspicious of her.

“Yes I am.”

He looks at Linnéa who is also sitting up and he seems to be at loss what to say next. So he shrugs his shoulders and turns around. Right into mom’s arms who is holding his pants in her hands.

“Don’t even think about”

Before mom can finish her sentence the pants fly through her room and Melvin is running away giggling.

“No pants today!”

Mom looks at Melvin who has decided he has run enough and is sitting on the ground playing with his penguin.  She smiles tiredly, but she looks content.

“I guess that is how it is now.”

She looks at Vanessa and Linnéa and something is happening. She seems so happy to see them, which Vanessa can understand since she was missing for 8 months. It still makes her uncomfortable to think about the time they spend in the borderland. So short for them, too long for their families.

“I made breakfast.”

She leaves the door open and Vanessa falls back into bed. She is not going to cry about what Melvin said, it is no use.

“He isn’t really mad at you, you know.”

Linnéa smiles kindly.

“He is just terrified you will leave again. He is trying to protect himself by distancing himself.”

“So he is like you.”

Vanessa realizes how harsh she sounds and wants to apologize but Linnéa shakes her head.

“He is, but you got through me. You will have no trouble with Melvin. He is family.”

Linnéa gets up from the bed and stretches, she is wearing a t-shirt and boxers and when she stretches Vanessa can see a hint of her stomach. Vanessa thoughts turn not so innocent and Linnéa looks at her with a smirk. She leans towards Vanessa and kisses her deeply. Vanessa loves Linnéa so much. When they break apart Linnéa is still smirking at her.

“Let’s go.”

She walks towards the open door.

“Aren’t you going to put on pants?”

“I heard it was no pants day. Isn’t that right Melvin!?”

Vanessa hears a confirming yell from the living room and Linnéa disappears into the hallway. She can hear chatter starting.

They need to talk about a lot of thing, about the council, about natural witches being born all around the world, people gaining powers, about them. They stopped the apocalypse but a new one might be on the horizon and it might not be a ancient evil trying to control the world but just human lust and greed. They have to prepare. But right now it is no pants day and she has her family waiting for her at the breakfast table.

With a grin Vanessa gets out of bed. For now all is well and she is going to enjoy it while it lasts.

@softsided I rosie & linnéa !

     ❝ That’s NOT how it happened, ❞  Having listened to the podcast, anger had started to consume the goth girl. There were different ways people decided to perceive the case of Gustav’s death. Having believed he had committed suicide because he needed an out of the world. It hadn’t happened that way, and Linnéa was aware of it. She knew Rosie had only meant to help, but it had only left the goth girl more frustrated.  ❝ It wasn’t the BULLYING that caused him to kill himself because he DIDN’T kill himself. ❞  He had promised he wouldn’t leave her behind, he had PROMISED.  ❝ Someone must have forced him to kill himself, or I-I- I don’t know. But he wouldn’t just leave me behind, he wouldn’t just    ❞  Words failed, leaving the raven-haired girl weak and uncertain. It hurt. The memory of him hurt.
