DAMMIT YALL.

I just found out leigh bardugo, the author of six of crows/shadow and bone, is isra3li. I tried to look up whether she's z1onist, but mostly found confirmation instead of disproof.

So, NOPE, I'm not gonna try reading her books anymore. I'm not supporting her words. This sucks. NO THANKS.

FREE FALASTIN.

ppl who read shadow and bone or grishaverse or six of crows, YALL SHOULD KNOW THIS ABOUT THE AUTHOR!

raise awareness and don't support z1onism.

FREE FALASTIN!

[tremendously-crazy]

does anyone else immediately lose interest in a book when there's a romantic subplot or is that just me

For some reason I keep seeing people asking whether Ukraine considers switching from cyrillic alphabet to latin alphabet, and 1) russia didn't invent and doesn't own cyrillic alphabet; 2) I would lose my mind if on a regular basis I had to write "shch" instead of "щ". That's 4 letters to write one letter, sir!!!!!

Just caught a glimpse of my waiting email and have decided to stay in the woods forever.

So many neighbors, I couldn't even fit them all. I'll add some close ups below.

the best part of the mark of gideon was the entire crew ready and willing to go fist fight the federation, starfleet and planet representatives if they tried to stop them from getting jim kirk back

bones literally materializes on the bridge the second jim disappears

scotty is about to throw hands with the gideon representatives

bureaucracy is being annoying about it so spock decides 'fuck this, I'll do what I want' and bones is like '10/10 choice, no notes'

but spock doesn't let him go with him to the jim-fetching mission, so he's angry again

spock couldn't care less about the dire situation of the planet or the dying girl jim wants to help, he's just there to fetch jim and nothing will stop him

also these overcrowded spaces with staring people were insanely terrifying for me and my ocd, absolutely worst planet to date tlt name similarity notwithstanding

The hero didn’t even want to look at it.

“Okay,” the villain said. Despite the tears in their eyes, they were a little too calm for the hero’s liking. But they supposed they had always been the opposite to the hero when it came to stressful situations.

Usually the hero could deal with stress pretty well, they were a hero after all, but it was getting increasingly difficult to operate when neither time nor solutions were on their side. It was frustrating and the hero wasn’t used to losing.

“You have to break my femur now,” the villain said. They looked down at the wound and then at the hero who prayed this was a poorly timed joke. “Remember, it’s the strongest and thickest bone in the body, so you may need quite a bit of force.”

“I am not going to break your bones, I—” The hero wanted to throw up. They could see parts of the injury under all that rubble and they didn’t want to imagine how much pain the villain was in right now. The villain didn’t scream nor curse, they bottled everything up and let tears speak for themselves. They knew the villain was tough. But could anyone be this tough?

It was one of the villain’s qualities they admired oh so much but it was also something that seemed to doom them.

“It’s just one bone. I’d do it myself but the angle is shitty and you’re stronger.”

“No, don’t make me do this.” The villain grabbed the hero’s arm quickly and stared them dead in the eye. Their fingers dug into the hero’s suit but it was just a fraction of the pain the villain endured.

The hero panicked. If they had been any other person — hero or villain — they wouldn’t have hesitated to break the bone. But this was them. They didn’t want to hurt them, they didn’t want to break any of their bones.

“Listen, if we want to save my leg, you have to break it. We don’t have much time. I’m bleeding out and I need some fucking painkillers. I’m not gonna stay here so your hero-friends can arrest me.” Their face was pale and the hero’s tongue was heavy.

“I can’t, please, I cannot do that to you.”

“I’m just another villain on your list to cross out,” the villain said. They squeezed the hero’s arm harder and their eyes widened, as if a wave of pain had just hit them. They made a noise close to a grunt but again, they were hiding it perfectly.

“No, you’re not, you’re really not.”

“If you want to save my life, you’ll have to do this. You’re a hero, aren’t you?” The hero had no words left.

The truth was, they had had a crush on the villain for quite some time now and even though they knew rationally they needed to do this, they weren’t quite there emotionally yet.

“You should get a pipe. You crush the bone and then hopefully, it’ll be easier to pull me out. The angle should be better. I might pass out though, I’ll just…” They didn’t look as confident anymore.

“If we wait for my friends to arrive, they can help you, maybe I can—”

“They will arrest me if I’m not dead by then. I’m counting on you.”

I’m counting on you.

The hero’s fingers trembled. Breaking someone’s bone — they had never done that on purpose. And yet, they knew the villain was right. It seemed to be the only way out for them.

“I called you,” the villain said, “because I trust you. I need you. I’ll do you a favour in return, I promise. Just, please.”

The hero took the villain’s hand and pulled it close to their chest.

“I’ll do it,” the hero said.

“Great.” Unsurprisingly, the villain wasn’t happy. Their other hand was shaking and they looked already traumatised. The hero wished they could make this easier but there didn’t seem to be any options left.

“I’ll just have to tell you something real quick.”

“What?”

“I have a crush on you.” The villain stared at them. They didn’t look mad nor did they look annoyed.

“Wait. Really?”

“Yes.”

The hero just had to tell them. If this was it, if the villain would get captured or worse, if they died, they needed to know that the hero had crush on them.

They wouldn’t be able to deal with that for the rest of their life. So whatever happened now, the villain would live through it, knowing what they meant to the hero.

“This is really bad timing, darling.” Another tear ran down the villain’s cheek. They squeezed the hero’s hand.

“I know. I’m sorry. I’ll get the pipe.” The hero didn’t find one. Instead, they found a brick. None of them were particularly enthusiastic about that. “Okay. Again, I’m really sorry.”

The hero grabbed the brick with two hands.

“Wait.” The hero did. “I think I like you too.”

“That doesn’t make it easier,” the hero whispered.

“I thought you needed the challenge.” As answer, the hero let out something closer to a sob than a laugh.

What happened next would give them nightmares for the following decades.

Astarion headcanons

i love my starry night 💖✨️ (image from my game play)

He never feeds on you when you sleep. He makes sure to wake you up first. He feels weird about drinking your blood with you asleep

He genuinely adores calling you pet names. At first, it was an act. But the pet names grew on him just like they grew on you

Not super big into pda. He'll occasionally kiss you if you ask nicely but he's not comfortable with it right away

He does like to idle time away in bed with you. Sometimes with sex but usually just laying there. It took a while for him to get to this but he loves having you near

He does enjoy his alone time. However, he does find happiness/solitude when you're next to him. You two could be reading in silence, and he would still love that

He's a bit shocked when you call him a pet name. He'll admit it later, but he loves the special pet name you chose for him

He's not sure about marriage, but he does know he wants to spend forever with you (even if you die before him)

While he physically can't have kids, he's relieved when you tell him you don't want any. He may feel the same way, too

He has asked you on multiple occasions to describe his looks to him. He has a relatively good idea but he loves hearing how you describe him. One day you get a painter to make a portrait of him. He loves it

Sometimes he feels insecure with the relationship between you two. He doesn't want to admit it, he feels that he shouldn't feel that way when it comes to you two. You do try your best to reassure him and talk with him

one time you had a nightmare and he woke you. you teased him by calling him your hero. he thought it was adorable even if he still didn't see himself that way

you usually shower him with love and reassurance. you started out slow and dropped loving words here and there but over time he grew to enjoy what you told him

No Thank You

[aphroditestummyrolls]

Whenever it’s mentioned that Wylan and Jesper will age at different rates/their lifespans will different, suddenly I cannot read. I have no clue what you’re talking about. This is a type of angst that I have 0.001% interest in, and I’ve decided that Wylan, due to some magical accident in their mid twenties, somehow achieves grisha-level aging and invulnerability. Peace and love on planet earth.

Okay??

[soaps-mohawk]

Rory. I just wanted to mwah! I really love me some angst. Really do but that chapter almost broke me. I really thought Simon was going to be the one tearing down shadow company just to get to mega. The scene with mega distressing and being consumed by it. Holy crapola. I just want you to know that you write so well and once I found this fic. I was hooked. I don’t normally get hooked so quickly on fics but dang!

I was wondering if after this fic (I know it’s not going to end soon, right?) do you plan on writing other cod fics? You don’t have to answer that if you don’t want to. 

Also price choosing Shepard over reader. That was heart wrenching. Like no price please rescue mega. She’s getting tortured 😭

Also I’m one of those rare Phillip graves fans (I know stupid of me right?). I get what you’re saying when he had those vibes to him to begin with. I cannot get over how creepy he is in the fic. Like he’s a very gross man. I would personally like to chop his head off and throw it into the ocean.

Also side note: I think it’s hilarious how könig is canonically dead in the fic. I know that was a few chapters back but that shit makes me giggle. Like yeah having Simon just casually talk about how he killed an Austrian man. Nothing to worry about there. Just Simon spewing old war stories.

Awww thank you!!!!

I do have other COD fics to write, but depending on how long it takes me to finish this fic (pending a potential few weeks break around the holidays) I might take a little break just to avoid burnout with COD. I definitely won't be leaving and never writing for it again. Just might need a little brain break since this fic was supposed to be finished in June so....yeah. I'll keep everyone updated as that unfolds.

Graves just gives me major creep vibes. Like major creep. I just don't like him so it's easy to make him gross. 🤷‍♀️ poor baby 'mega though she's very lucky the CIA said "mmm I want this one"

I also don't like Konig so that was an easy decision to make to add that joke in 🤭
