Last night Jennifer Newberry got stuck in the bubble during the curtain call. Luckily, her cast members and the backstage crew had her back (x)

let it be known that i love prince inigo with my whole soul. however sometimes it is SO much fun to think about owain and his two most loyal-est knights you ever seen: worst guy in the world #1 and worst guy in the world #2. i love retainer inigo and severa so much. retainers who bully you and make fun of you and trash on you but they’d leave behind everyone and everything they ever knew to follow you and protect you in a whole new universe. they love you so much that they’d swear allegiance to total strangers but that loyalty pales in comparison to what they’d do for you. and they were all lovers!!!!!!!

As much as the show has been illustrating the parallels between Viren and Callum, I’m still so glad they emphasized a big difference between the two- the way they treat their partners.

Cause although Viren’s heart was in the right place, the way he treated Lissa was nothing short of abusive and horrific. He didn’t just stand there and let his own wife cry, he took advantage of her tears.

And meanwhile Callum just hears Rayla crying and rushes to her aid, because he can’t stand to just leave her crying alone. He’ll always help her and dry her tears for her, no matter the reason.

It doesn't matter that Viren had his heart in the right place ASSAULT is not okay and Lissa had all the rights to leave. Viren and Callum have parallels but they are different in a lot of ways one being that he would never do something like that to Rayla and in a similar situation they would have talked about it. The narrative and Viren himself knows what he did wasn't okay you don't need to justify abuse. You can love a character and aknowledge they aren't a good person in canon.

I truly do not care what Richelle may or may not have said, but Dimitri Belikov is NOT a fucking Sagittarius. He's a Capricorn. Caps are defined by practicality, steadiness, and initiative. They are highly motivated planners who tightly control their lives to reach their end goal. They're very disciplined, and highly self critical. They're so contained they seem aloof, but this energy of being an unmovable force is alluring. Think of a rock formation in a raging ocean. So they get placed in leadership roles especially in crisis. Who the fuck does that sound like???

Okay, okay it‘s not a request but what do you think would have happened if in "Rules" Klaus wouldn’t have killed the reader?

Do you think Elijah would have came with him because of his siblings?

How do you think the reader would‘ve reacted? Like I‘d be mad at my guy.

Oooh, I love this question… there are so many possibilities!

If Klaus didn’t kill the reader (let’s assume she stayed safely hidden), the sacrifice would still play out as it does on screen. Klaus would promise Elijah he’d return their siblings, and Elijah, loyal to his family, would betray the Salvatores and side with Klaus.

This would devastate the reader. Not only facing her brothers’ relentless “I told you so” (especially Damon) but also questioning her relationship with Elijah and her own judgment. Elijah would feel guilty, torn between his love for her and his family, but before they could address their fractures, Klaus would dagger Elijah and take Stefan, setting up the chaos of season 3.

In season 3, the reader would be on a redemptive path, consumed with guilt over trusting Elijah and focused on getting Stefan back alongside Damon and Elena. Despite rejecting her feelings for Elijah, she’d still be deeply concerned for him. Around this time she would most likely meet Rebekah(I figure they would become great friends or bitter enemies - no in-between lol) and that relationship might also reveal a new perspective on Elijah, further complicating her emotions.

Everything would come to a head once Elijah is undaggered. Damon would inform the reader, warning her to stay away, but she’d struggle with avoiding him. The Mikaelson Ball would be the perfect setting for their confrontation. Polite at first but unraveling as Elijah questions her avoidance and she challenges his betrayal. The tension would be palpable, blending bitterness with lingering affection.

When the reader learns of Esther’s plan, she would face a difficult choice: warn Elijah, risking alienation from her friends and brothers, or let the plan proceed, knowing it could mean the end of the man she still loves.

And that’s why I ended it in season 2 😂 it gets waaaay too complicated and messy...

Thanks for asking!!!

Really rotating Claudia and Callum in my mind right now.

Like, they both try to keep the people in their life from leaving. They both are willing to do things some might find unspeakable for the people they care about. Callum's Devotion description in ToX is "I value those close to me more than anyone or anything" and his Liberty description is "I'm beholden to my inner circle, not some silly kingdom."

Then you have Claudia, who decided to leave the baby dragon she thought would be the eventual destruction of humanity to save her brother (which is basically choosing those close to her over the world). You also have her trying to free a great ancient evil to save her dad (which is ALSO her choosing those close to her over the world).

We've already had Callum make the decision to use dark magic for Rayla, so here's why CHET will win-

I went on a date recently where the guy kept trying to bite my ear in public and all I could think of was this pic

You know those posts about how it's important to comment on fics even though it's been a while since it was last updated?

I got a comment on a fic I haven't written a single line for since 2019. The last time I posted a chapter was on the eve of my 23rd birthday.

I wouldn't say that I had forgotten about it, but it's a fic that had been on stand by because 1) I had no plan on where I wanted the story to go, which I did a lot back then and 2) it's a Fire Emblem Ship nobody cares about. So I wanted to finish it but I wasn't in a hurry for that.

Anyway, someone left a comment on Swallowtails In Your Stomach, my Ricken x Lissa fic. I certainly didn't have that on my 2025 bingo

just jack and lissa Russell being my favorite marvel siblings

Hi Nika 🫂

I'm happy you liked my review! When I first saw that you posted Slide I was like "oh this looks interesting" and then I saw people said it was angsty/sad and I was kinda in a bad emotional state at the time, so I couldn't read it right away 🥺 but I'm better now, and I'm so happy that I read it ✨

I feel like angst is sometimes hard to read, but it's because it often gives me the feels and all the spectrum of emotions, and sometimes, I'm just touched out with emotion. But I adore these stories where I feel a lot, and it's a bit excruciating and then there's a resolution with either a sad or happy ending. I can't wait to see which direction you take Slide in, and it's okay to not know yourself 😂 (even though I'm generally a 'planner' story wise, I wish I had this more easygoing approach to it!)

I can not wait to undercover the pain, and the hurt 😭 because it sure is a mess that I can't see how they can get something good out off 😩 but we'll see what happens!

And please, you're just as talented as me if not more ✨

Love you 💜

I wish you the most amazing and awesome day/night ✨ 💜

Lissa,

Lemme come to it one by one.

It's completely okay that you had to take your time before reading Slide. and I am relived that you didn't read it when you weren't feeling well because the story itself is very heavy in themes and it would have made you feel worse - which I could never forgive myself for.

and yes. you are so right. Angst is certainly hard to read at times. but you know what? I am weird and a masochist. I drown myself in angst when I should be reading feel-good fics. I always try to hurt myself more and more when I need to feel happy in reality. (even right now, I'm not feeling too well but I am opening and closing fics on Ao3 because whatever I am trying to read is coming out as fluffy 😭).

For Slide, I have a vague idea of where I want to lead the story but I haven't planned anything concrete just yet. I am not a planner when it comes to writing. I write whatever I am feeling, whatever my fingers end up typing. and when it's angst... I don't even think much since it's just pain and I have a shit ton of experience lmao!

Thank you for your review and for this ask. You are an incredibly kind human being and one of the best moots I have met in this platform. Hope you get better with time. Hope you, too, have a great day/night.

take love,

Nika ✨
