Alina Starkov!!

1. Canon I outright reject

her losing her powers at the end of r&r! imo it doesn't work narratively and also I don't like it personally. and also she loves her powers and she deserves to be happy!

24. Most annoying habit

nooooo omg she's the loml nothing she does is annoying 🥰🥰 except her terrible taste in men lmao, does that count?

actually wait no she's totally the kind of person who sleeps really late in the mornings, and as a morning person that's soooo frustrating (not in a serious way but like, in a jokingly annoyed kind of way yk?)

Baby girl is growing up quite well.

She's a very curious child, and she has a tendency to glow when she's playing with her toys.

I suppose having a child who is half-Elven and half-Maia can yield some interesting results.

Call-out for the Noldor

I cannot believe I am doing this. But it is my duty to inform the people of the deceivers we have been harboring in Doriath.

And yes, this is about Alqualondë and the kinslaying that has been wrought upon Olwë's people.

Just curious:

⭐️ feanors-second-wife Follow

Excuse me???? How are we "treacherous" when the Teleri literally wouldn't give us their ships when we asked???

If they didn't want to be slaughtered, they should've just given us their swanships when we told them to. Besides, the Teleri aren't even Thingol's people! And it's not like your king was there to watch us kill the Teleri! He was literally hiding behind his wife's skirt!

🦋 flutterby-of-nivrim Follow

Wow, what an entitled piece of work you are.

First of all, way to victim-blame the Teleri of Alqualondë. They had every right not to surrender their swanships to a bunch of entitled jerks like you. You guys just stormed their lands, slaughtered them for saying no, then took the ships anyways.

Second of all, I don't understand your logic. So because Thingol wasn't there to see the kinslaying, he shouldn't be angry about it??? Girl, we Sindar are literally descended from the Teleri! Some of us had relatives who were killed in Alqualondë! And King Olwë was Thingol's kinsman! Of course Thingol has every right to be upset about the kinslaying!

Thirdly, Thingol was not "hiding behind his wife's skirt". We were literally fighting Morgoth before you guys even left Aman. We're more familiar with the evils of Morgoth than you Noldorin Elves. The whole reason why the Girdle was put up was because we lost a good chunk of our army.

Lastly, why are you even on the Sindarin side of Tumblr? Shouldn't you be kissing up to the Fëanorian princes on your own blog???

🌱 thr4nduil-the-fair Mutuals

It's been a long journey, but at last, we made it to the Havens of Sirion.

Unfortunately, our king and queen fell in battle, and Menegroth is in ruins. Even worse, we couldn't find the twin boys in the forest. Though I pray that they are alive, deep down, I know that the worst has come to pass.

Luckily, we managed to escort Elwing to safety, but my heart aches for her. She's still so young, and in only one day, she's lost her parents and brothers.

But though her family is gone, I will do my best to help in raising her. I feel that she will grow into a strong young lady one day.

For now, it's time for us to rest. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers.

From tomorrow, we must start healing.

I loved to make it, It's so relaxing 🌼

[mostly-marvel-musings]

hi, song anon here... so, I made a list lol. all these songs were written and are sung by brazilian musicians, and it might be difficult to find the lyrics in english (but I can translate them for you if you'd like that). these are the first fics that came to my mind when you asked, but fics that weren't mentioned but are somewhat similar to the ones mentioned here would probably fit well with these same songs. most of the songs here are sung by Maria Bethânia, cause she's like my favorite musician. I hope you like these songs :)

Just friends - Quero você (Maria Bethânia), Dona da minha cabeça (Geraldo Azevedo), Eu te amo (Chico Buarque), Seu balancê (Zeca Pagodinho), A proposta (Liah Soares and Zeca Baleiro)

Rather convenient - Quero você (Maria Bethânia), Depois de ter você (Maria Bethânia and Adriana Calcanhoto), Seu balancê (Zeca Pagodinho), Infinito desejo (Maria Bethânia)

Where do we go from here - Costumes (Maria Bethânia), As canções que você fez pra mim (Maria Bethânia), Olha (Maria Bethânia), Sem ferrolho e sem tramela (Flávio José), Fera ferida (Maria Bethânia), Dignidade de um otário (Benito di Paula)

they're all available on spotify and I can make you a playlist if you want :) and I can't wait to see what songs will fit well with the next part of Where do we go from here

Oh bless you, sweet nonnie!!!

I’ve got a four hour journey ahead of me now, I know what I’ll be doing :) This makes me very happy. And that music and songs transcend languages 🥹🤍

Thank you so much for sharing this with the Stark Squad! Hope you have an amazing day 🌼

Celebrando o Dia dos Mortos: Tradições e Filmes Memoráveis!

O Dia dos Mortos, ou "Dia de los Muertos", é uma das festas mais coloridas e significativas da cultura mexicana. Esta celebração, que ocorre nos dias 1º e 2 de novembro, é uma oportunidade de honrar e lembrar os entes queridos que já partiram. Mas, qual é a origem e o significado dessa tradição única?

O Dia dos Mortos tem raízes que remontam aos povos indígenas do México, como os astecas e maias, que realizavam rituais de homenagem aos mortos. Com a chegada dos espanhóis e a cristianização da região, esses rituais foram mesclados com o Dia de Todos os Santos e o Dia de Finados, criando uma celebração que combina elementos religiosos e tradições ancestrais.

A principal ideia por trás do Dia dos Mortos é que, nesses dias, as almas dos entes queridos falecidos retornam ao mundo dos vivos para serem honradas e celebradas.

Além das tradições, o Dia dos Mortos também se tornou uma fonte de inspiração para a cultura pop e, em particular, para o cinema. Vamos dar uma olhada em alguns dos filmes mais assistidos que incorporam essa festividade:

1. "Viva: A Vida é uma Festa" (2017):

Este filme de animação da Disney-Pixar é uma jornada emocionante através da tradição mexicana do Dia dos Mortos. "Viva: A Vida é uma Festa" segue a história de Miguel, um jovem músico que acidentalmente viaja para a Terra dos Mortos. Com uma representação rica e colorida das festividades e uma mensagem comovente sobre a importância da memória e da família, este filme é uma homenagem à cultura mexicana.

2. "Viagem de Chihiro" (2001):

"Viagem de Chihiro" é uma obra-prima do renomado diretor Hayao Miyazaki. A história segue Chihiro, uma jovem que acidentalmente entra em um mundo espiritual repleto de criaturas mágicas e deuses. O filme incorpora temas de vida, morte e renascimento de maneira incrivelmente poética, tornando-o uma escolha única para celebrar o Dia dos Mortos.

3."Festa no Céu" (2014):

"Festa no Céu" é uma animação que celebra a vida e a morte de uma forma única. A história segue Manolo, um jovem que embarca em uma jornada pelo mundo dos vivos e dos mortos em busca de sua verdadeira paixão. Com um visual deslumbrante e uma trilha sonora cativante, o filme incorpora elementos do Dia dos Mortos de maneira poética e cativante.

O Dia dos Mortos é uma celebração rica em significado e tradição, e esses filmes oferecem uma visão única das festividades e dos valores culturais que a cercam. Assista a eles para mergulhar nessa bela tradição e refletir sobre a importância de honrar a memória de nossos entes queridos. Feliz Dia dos Mortos! 🌼🕯️🎬

inej for the character game!!

tysm for the ask!!

why I like them: she's so fucking iconic omg, she has so much strength and resilience and integrity

why I don't: actually I think anybody who doesn't like inej should be executed. HOWEVER I flip back and forth trying to decide whether or not I like her characterisation in the show, particularly in s2, and overall I think it's Not Great

favourite episode/scene: that one deleted scene with her and jesper!! it's actually a crime that it wasn't in the show holy shit

favourite season/movie: I hugely prefer her book characterisation tbh, especially in crooked kingdom

favourite line: “what about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? we learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. we learn to wring magic from the ordinary. that was how you survived when you weren't chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. when the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway” is legitimately the best grishaverse quote EVER and I think it really sums up the entire series

favourite outfit: ooooh I love her outfit at the very end of s2, in the scene where we see her as a pirate!

otp: honestly I can't say anything other than kanej, they're really cute and such a good ship in the books as well

brotp: NINEJ I love them sm

headcanon: she and kaz are both total workaholics so they always have to gently nudge each other into taking breaks. idk I think it's cute

unpopular opinion: I'm not sure I really have any?

a wish: look she deserves a happy ending okay, she deserves to do whatever the hell she wants and not be beholden to anybody but still know that she has a home and a person to come back to!!!

an oh-god-please-don't-ever-happen: what if... she's away at sea... and then she comes back to ketterdam and can't find kaz... bc he pissed off the wrong person and now he's dead... and she has to live with the guilt of not being there bc she should have been there and she could have saved him and now he's gone. anyways. would be fun just for the angst of it all tbh

5 words to describe them: resilient, caring, driven, principled, conscientious

my nickname for them: idk I just call her inej? it's not really a name that's easy to shorten lmao

give me a character and I will answer...

a sapphic lit primer 🌸

also known as, an opportunity to insist you read my favourites

if you’ve ever found yourself wanting to read more sapphic books, but not quite sure where to start, let this be the post for you! if you’re looking for even more sapphic books, i hope you find something in here too.

there are a few books on here i’ve not read, that i wanted to include to raise awareness of them, more than anything. those are marked by *. as such, you will probably also see a fair few more well known books and authors missed off (but i promise i know about them!).

this is not meant to be at all exhaustive! it’s a collection of sapphic books that i’ve read and would rec, meaning there are still tons more out there. & you can find some of those more at @sapphicreadsdb​, readsrainbow (which i co-run with @tenderpotter), sapphiclitbot on twitter & my list of every sapphic book i’ve read.

as ever, this was meant to be a relatively short post. haha.

(i promise i did put links on this post, but for some reason those aren’t working on the blog page. dashboard version seems fine, i think.)

Hello Darling ™

I've caught up with everything that's been happening on here in the past week, and it's as great as ever here, honestly <3

I've noticed that you're now writing for Eonwë too. May I humbly suggest to put thought into the prospect of the Reader being with Manwë and him instructing Eonwë how to fuck her and just - sitting beside them and watching?

Just another thing that came to my mind that I had to get rid of somehow, and again, you don't have to write something, I know you're a busy person Darling :)

~🌼

( ❀ ) ˙ ˖ manwë, eönwë ⠀〳 reader⠀ ❜࿔

· ⊰ synopsis. you find yourself bedded by the elder king's maia, with manwë himself instructing him just how to fuck you ( minors dni ៸៸ sexual content ៸៸ explicit descriptions ៸៸ voyeurism ៸៸ threesome ៸៸ size kink if you squint ៸៸ penetrative sex ៸៸ marking )

· ⊰ note. I know I'm responding to this so late but sometimes my brain just can't smut — and I absolutely needed to write this into a mini fic. so hear you go dearest, hope you enjoy this long awaited clusterfuck <3

“Is she not simply stunning?”

“Yes, my lord,’’ the maia exhales in an attempt to release the swell of heat in his lungs. “So, so stunning.’’ 

Your eyes lift to find grey and you too release a breath. Yet nothing alleviates the feel of Eönwë’s length taking you inch by agonising inch. He sinks in, slow, steady, almost as if he is worried he may cause you pain — but the look you give him tells him otherwise. A large hand placed beside your head while the other cups and squeezes at your thigh, as though he were holding on to the last bit of restraint he had left. 

It’s too much. The way your face scrunches up, how your eyes gloss over, how you splutter oh so pathetically for him and above all, how your walls flutter around him. Trapping, squeezing, suffocating his cock which he knows damn well is already pulsing within your sheath. He made the mistake of looking at you for too long, observing your pleasures, your whines, how you rock your hips up into his while he bottoms out. 

In turn, you feel just as helpless. With your back to the sheets and Eönwë’s towering form leaving no room for escape. How his fingers press into your thigh. You feel it, the jitter, his resolve fading and after a moment of admiring how he looks as though pleasure would drive him mad, you finally cast a glance to the man on the side. 

Manwë’s smile awaits you. Kind, benevolent and it almost makes you shudder. For you knew the absolute filth those lips had uttered mere moments ago. How they instructed his trusted maia to stimulate, edge and overall turn your mind into an incoherent mush. 

“Does that feel good, little dove?” He croons as his chin rests upon the palm of his hand. “Is Eönwë leaving you dazed? You want more, don’t you little dove? Tell him how much you want it.’’ 

You were almost embarrassed at how you clench around Eönwë when his master spoke. How your brows crinkle and your lip quivers. You nod, rolling your hips once more. “Yes, yes please. Eönwë, please.’’ The maia chokes back a moan as his grip on your thigh tightens. Yet still, he does not move.

“Oh, dear Eönwë. Why do you not put that hand to good use?” You needn’t look upon Manwë to know how his eyes may have darkened as he spoke. “I’m certain her little clit can take more. Isn’t that so, my little dove?” Before you can even think of responding, however, you are left gasping. A thumb, calloused from aeons of swordsmanship, circles your more-than-abused pearl once again. It takes everything within you to bite back a cry but that self-restraint is nowhere to be found at your hips which meekly buck. 

“Eönwë,’’ he watches as tears fall upon your face and how your fingers coil into satin sheets. “Eönwë, please. Please I need you to fuck me.’’ 

The maia finally groans and it takes everything within him not to collapse into you, rut his hips against yours and make you sing his name oh so prettily. Grey hues cut over to meet a soft blue, dark with lust. “Please, my lord. May I?’’ Heat floods your lungs when you hear Manwë’s airy chuckle. You can only assume that he gave some sort of physical affirmation as within a matter of seconds the warmth that invaded your innermost self was fleeing. You almost whine but it quickly melts into an abrupt moan when it returns. 

He’s gradual at first, staggering even. Heaving along with you so that your breaths sync and become one. He draws away and then sinks back in. Again and again, and again. Until you are whining once more and leaving him on the edge of losing his mind. He forms a rhythm that coincides with your breaths, gasps and moans. The warmth below melts into a newfound heat and your hands that once clung to the sheets now seek refuge upon his shoulders. 

Still, one can tell that Eönwë is holding himself back, albeit by a thread. Perhaps it was the subconscious desire to remain of good composure before his master, you knew not. So, to make it all the harder for him — you begin to call out his name. Soft, breathy which soon transcends into desperate, blissful, until he’s barely holding on and verges a tipping point. 

“She feels good, doesn’t she, Eönwë?” At first, all he can do is nod. “Yes, my lord.’’ Eönwë gasps with a flutter of his eyes as his pace falters in its rhythm. As penance for your tarnishment of his composure, he rubs at your clit quicker, harsher. Taking out his frustration upon the poor little bud and leaving you rasping for air. 

“Then what are you waiting for, hmm?’’ You only just manage to cast the vala a side-eye with vision blurred from tears. “You heard her, did you not?” He sighs, a pleasured sound. “She wants you to fuck her, Eönwë. Give her what she wants.’’ 

A sudden weight crushes you into the sheets and leaves you breathless and rasping, only for the little air that you did take in to be stolen once more as Eönwë finally begins rutting against you. His knees had given in while an arm hooked around your middle and his free hand still tormented your clit, harsher, if it was even possible. He shallows his thrusts, shoving his cock into a bundle of nerves that had you whimpering. 

“E. . .Eön—wë, Eönwë please,’’ you made the mistake of slipping your hands further down so that fingers brushed against his soft wings. A spark ignites his spine and he groans shamelessly against your hair. If anything it drove him further into his lust-drunk state and he made it his new, personal goal, to fuck your lights out. 

“That’s it,’’ calls Manwë, observing every shatter in his maia’s resolve. “However, I wish to see more of her face. Let her ride you, Eönwë. Let me see her pretty face.’’ 

You whine out Manwë’s name when his order compels Eönwë to, reluctantly, withdraw from you. The vala chuckles again and brings his eyes to yours whilst Eönwë’s repositions you. “What was that, my little dove? I am afraid that if you keep whining for me like that poor Eönwë may not be permitted to complete his turn.’’ 

As if to passively detest his master’s proposal, Eönwë grabs your hips and brings your heat to consume his length once more. He now sits upon the mattress with his back to the headboard, not quite laying yet not necessarily upright. You would have responded to Manwë if it were not for the way his maia took you this time around. Fervent, desperate, he bucks his cock up into your heat and guides your hips down to ensure you take all of him. 

“Kiss her neck, mark her up a little. She absolutely loves being claimed, right my dove?” You want to nod in response, however, fingers soon coil into your tresses and careen your head back. Now presented to him, Eönwë eagerly consumes your skin. Lips greedily kissing into tender crevices as he nips, sucks and overall marks you up — just as his master had ordered. With this new force prompting your chin to face the ceiling, there is no room to silence your noises and they all pour out. Shamelessly, unrestrained. Some are splutters of the maia’s name, others are incoherent stutters. Quiet I cant’s and please’s falling from your lips. 

There is a shuffle from the side and before you can bring your gaze towards it you feel a hand at the back of your neck and breaths against your ear. Manwë has joined the two of you, one leg kneeling behind your form as his hair trickles over your shoulder. He subtly swats away Eönwë’s hand on your hip and takes the liberty of controlling your movements. His eyes meet his maia’s for but a moment and he utters a soft but firm; “do not stop,’’ before his attention is back on you. 

“That’s it. My darling little dove. You wish to come, yes?’’ Gentle fingers slip to the front of your throat and wrap around to give it a gentle squeeze. You gasp, feeling Eönwë return to thumbing at your clit. It’s dizzying, shattering and you limp back into the vala who eagerly accepts you. “Yes, yes Manwë, please.’’ His hand, now gripping beneath your chin, turns your head to face him. 

“Go on then, darling. Come for him. For me.’’ 

With that he presses his mouth to yours, taking in all your whimpers, moans and gasps as you finally tighten around Eönwë and come with a quiet cry against his master’s lips. You swear that you felt Manwë groan against you as he tightens his hold on your throat and, quite literally, steals your breath away. 

“Did I tell you to stop?” Manwë casts his maia a glance, smile upon his lips when he notices Eönwë beginning to slow down his pace. The vala has barely parted from your kiss, his lips still brushing against yours. You whine as the other complies and continues to fuck you through your climax, driving your eyes to roll back as you once again limp into Manwë who now sucks hickeys below your jaw. 

“We are far from done with her. Keep going.’’

🌿🌱☘️Common Herbs and Their Uses🌾🪴🌼

I tried to include not just magical uses and rituals, but medical uses as well. Saying peppermint is useful for "health" is all well and good, but the body doesn't work like that. Certain materials are good for certain problems. And I don't believe that any of these should be used to replace traditional medicine. Also, I have written the word "closed" next to white sage because it is getting scarce and I don't think non-indigenous witches should use it. A stick of incense will get you there just the same without doing harm to indigenous people and practices.

And because I basically exclusively use glitter gel pens, I've included a filter that might be easier to read down below. I intend on doing a separate page on specifically flowers as well.

Books used as reference include: The Illustrated Herbiary by Maia Toll, The Modern Guide to Witchcraft by Skye Alexander, The House Witch by Arin Murphy-Hiscock, and the Wicca Book of Spells Witches Planner 2021. Click to improve quality

Okay, so, here I am, remaining anonymous so that it’s harder for you to kill me 💀

- Jessamine is such an underrated character.

- Gabriel is way better than Gideon, and his internal struggle is way more realistic. Also, Gabrily is the best TID ship.

- Herongraystairs are special, while not my favorite, as a human relationship, but both Jessa and Wessa are so overrated. So is Kitty.

- Tessa is annoying. Worst protagonist by a whole lot.

- I dislike James almost as much as Charles. Also, I hate how Cassie blames everything on being irascible when it comes to James and Will. I feel like she validates behaviours that really shouldn’t be validated.

- Having Thomas and Eugenia is Gideon’s redemption era.

- Neither Grace nor Christopher are necessarily aroace, and people should treat the topic more carefully. I’m not saying that they can’t be (and it would be great if Cassie handled it correctly), but I see a lot of people mixing up trauma with being aroace. And that is really harmful.

- Cordelia is okay, but I do feel like Cassie hasn’t fully fledged her character and it occasionally seems to me like I’m dealing with different people depending on the scenes.

- Ghostwriter isn’t worth the hype, but it’s still way better than Jordelia.

- Jordan was in the wrong with Maia, but he wasn’t a bad person.

- Kierarktina doesn’t work. If Mark and Cristina had as much chemistry as Mark and Kieran or as Cristina and Kieran, it’d be great. Sadly they don’t.

- Thule!Livvy and Cameron are so underrated. I’m still heartbroken over one of them being dead in each world and them never being able to be together.

- Diego is a very complex and interesting character, precisely because he’s not perfect.

- QoAaD was disappointing, and its best parts were the Rosales brothers’ interactions.

- I love Malec, but what Cassie is doing with TEC (especially with TLBotW) isn’t it.

- Shinyun was so interesting in TRSoM and deserved a better characterisation than whatever Cassie was thinking at the time.

Ready to be killed in 3, 2, 1… 💀

@thestarkster1465 your soulmate is here. You can run to Antarctica together ✨🤗

1 - SHE IS 💅 MY UNDERRATED QUEEN. I really hope she'll manage to find peace in the wicked powers

2 - I wouldn't say he's better, I'll just say that plot makes him more complex, cause he was the one who stayed with his abusive father when Gideon left to Spain. He just has to be more interesting and complicated at this point. GABRILY BEING THE HORNIEST COUPLE + BEST PARENTS CHECK✅

3 - ...not Kitty and Jessa......YOU—

4 - That's an individual thing, i guess. Tessa annoyed me too a bit in TID but i understand that she was just a young girl raised how she was supposed to be raised that time. I love her in every other book🌼

5 - .... there's some truth about Will...BUT MY LITERALLY CURSED BOY JAMES?!?!?! LIVING UNDER SOME DEMONIC LOVE SPELL SINCE HE'S 12 or sth?!?!?! He literally cries when he hears the sound of rain!!!!!

6 - Maybe maybe 🤔

7 - That's actually a very complex and complicated topic. I think I should dedicate a separate post to this, but you're so right about that trauma part. @hotdog-frenchfries EDUCATE MEEEEE😭 Personally, I think that as long as we don't have official information about their sexuality, we can think whatever we want. They might both be aroace or not, both options are valid for now. And no one can condemn any of these options cause we don't have any information about it🤷🏼‍♀️I hope we'll find out in chot

8 - THAT'S SO TRUE OH MY GOD! Not to mention how in the first book Cordelia proudly told us where she came from and talked about her culture, and in the second book we pretend that none of this happened WTF CASSIE?!?!

9 - WHY Y'ALL DON'T LIKE MY GHOSTWRITER I'M GONNA CRY ALL DAY🥺 @axoloteca hug me

10 -That's true, i actually answered one ask about him yesterday, pls find it👉👈

11 - I wrote everything I think about Kierarktina here meow

12 - I KNOW😭😢 they fit each other so well, i guess Livvys destiny, to suffer in every world

13 - I've read TDA so fast I don't even remember him well. But everything i remember is pretty good🤔✨

14 - It was disappointing for me too but for different reasons. I tried to finish TDA as fast as I could, so i don't remember much about them either ;-; I said it hundred times and I'll do it again: too many characters + not enough pages

15 - oh but why 🥺🤔

16 - ONLY FACTS, THERE'S NO LIE, JUST TRUTH IN YOUR WORDS! #shinyun_deserves_better_2022

BABE I'M ALREADY RUNNING AFTER YOU😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
