@ofdieus @merxxki @stxrfclls ... amethyst & open.
the former high lady of winter sat upon a balcony, much like she had the night before at the capital, overlooking the scenery. in her 600 years it was hard to find things she had never seen before. she could say this place was something she had never seen before or heard of in centuries. she was sure it was the dusk court, surprise was still edvident as she looked upon the horizon with both awe and amazement. she knew so many would be running about but she was taking time to look. "come sit," she said, and while her powers were not to their fullest, her hearing was still inacted. "watch the horizon with me."

she's been avoiding the main hall , ever since the portraits had been hung . too many eyes weighing down on her , suffocating . but knowing this can't last forever , and as activity around the palace meets a lull in the night , suzume finally goes to try meeting their gaze . which proves successful , at first , but as she trails over to the young chakris , there's a familiar , deeply - detested sting on the inner corners of her eyes . by the time she reaches the emperor and empress ( she assumes ) , their portraits are but blurry outlines . she turns on her heel , rushing out of the room with so little awareness that she nearly collides with @classiqals @espionisms @balteren @bxrnfrxmashes in the process . no one was supposed to be here . she shoots them a withering look , but in that very moment , the first tear rolls down her face . immediately , she turns her head with a sniff , swiping at her cheek . " excuse me . "

closed starter with: nestor and any muse! (@cursebrcken, @disrcpairs, @ichorsveined)
Oppressive cloud cover had turned to rain, but Nestor was tucked away in the stables of Highgarden- safe, dry, and content. He was perched on a hay bale, his head leaned back against the wood of the stall beside him, eyes closed, listening to the drum of rain on the roof. It was one of those rare moments, where the mind was devoid of memory or thoughts of the future, and he melted into the present. It wasn’t until he felt the presence of another that his eyes flew open, and the weight of time settled back on his shoulders. He didn’t stand, but he did relax when he recognized the face. “You’d be brave to ride in this weather,” he said, voice groggy with lack of use. Nestor looked at them expectantly, wary of their presence, clearly pressing for an answer- as if it were a crime to be in the stables on a rainy day. “Unless you’re here for something else, of course.”

Celebrate Pride with Tor Publishing Group!
Rakesfall by @adamantine
They met as children in the middle of the Sri Lankan civil war. Later, in a demon-haunted wood, an act of violence linked them and propelled their souls on a journey through the ages. As they reincarnate ever deeper into the future, a truth emerges: Some stories take more than one lifetime to tell.
Running Close to the Wind by @ariaste
In this queer pirate fantasy, Avra Helvaçi has accidentally stolen the single most expensive secret in the world. To avoid capture, he flees to the open sea, where only his on-again, off-again ex aka pirate Captain Teveri az-Ḥaffār can help him survive, profit, and become a legend.
Cuckoo by Gretchen Felker-Martin
Something evil is buried deep in the desert. It wants your body and wears your skin. Welcome to Camp Resolution, a queer conversion center where everyone leaves a different person. In 1995, seven queer teens were abandoned here by their parents, but survived. Sixteen years later, they’re scarred and broken, but back to face an evil that threatens the world.
Kinning by Nisi Shawl
In this alternate history where barkcloth airships soar and former colonies claim freedom from imperialist tyrants, the identity of the island of Everfair still wavers. Victorious in the wake of the Great War, a new threat looms. Can Everfair continue to serve as a symbol of hope for anticolonial movements around the world, or will it fall to forces within and without?
Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by @rebeccathornewrites
Can one of the Queen’s private guard and the most powerful mage in existence leave their lives behind to settle down in their new bookshop that serves tea? This cozy fantasy is steeped in sapphic romance and nestled on the edge of dragon country.
The Fragile Threads of Power by V. E. Schwab
Once there were four worlds, nestled like pages in a book, each pulsing with fantastical power and connected by a single city: London. After a desperate attempt to prevent corruption and ruin in the four Londons, there are only three. Now the worlds are going to collide anew—brought to a dangerous precipice by the discoveries of three remarkable magicians.
Now available in paperback!
The Archive Undying by @emcandon
This is a story about misplaced faith, complicated love, so much self-loathing, and yeah—giant robots. Plugged into his AI god when its apocalyptic corruption renders him unfortunately immortal, sad gay disaster Sunai takes a die-again-or-die-trying approach to things. Unending life’s tough when intimacy is somehow scarier even than either of the warring police states set on turning you into a weapon or the rogue undead mecha-fragment of your old god that wants to eat you.
Now available in paperback!
The Bell in the Fog by Lev AC Rosen
A dazzling historical mystery that dives into the shadowy, closeted world of the Navy, emerging in the gay bars of the city. It’s a whirlpool of missing people, violent strangers, and scandalous photos in 1952 San Francisco.
Now available in paperback!

Howdy @hdgnj & @radiance1 would it be alright if hypothetically a new thread was started? I'm starting to feel bad for the people trying to get through the pages of text on our blogs lol. HDNJ Reblog | RADIANCE Reblog
[I also understand if you would prefer just continuing from the initial thread]
So no matter what happens, it's pretty much agreed upon that the two need help. Along with the fact that they really can't just be left to wander, no matter how well they were doing.
(Bruce is having flashbacks to walking into Tim's stalker-shrine room when they look through the toddler's notebook) Because like, Match was pretty much live. A lot of people saw him, and a lot more will continue, so it's not even close to being safe. For all they knew? Cadmus might've thought they had died since they were already deemed failures. But now everyone in the knows not only is at least one alive, but nearly fought Superman to a standstill.
Probably could've if not for the fact that they're a half-starved teen- though the half-feral part probably helped with the can't predict what the Duck attack is going to be next.
(I wanna add more but if idk which to do if we go to the thread lol) (Also hi if ur just finding this, idk if it'll go anywhere but welcome to Radiance's prompt of tiny SuperWonder clone Danny)
#dcxdp#dpxdc#clone danny#de aged danny#match (dc)#also yall both reblogged around the same time and both ur ideas are amazin#But also I understand if you would prefer me to keep reblogging the initial prompt/thread#Either way Clark is gettin thrown into therapy#They're all getting therapy#eventually group therapy too probably but that's like Far into the future

it is all chaos and entropy. the thing is that the chaos and entropy make it beautiful and lovely.
yes, it's true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is terrifying. i have lived through some of the unfairness - i got born like this, with my body caving into itself, with this ironic love of dance when i sometimes can't stand up for longer than 15 minutes. i am a poet with hands that are slowly shutting down - i can't hold a pen some days. recently i found a dead bird on our front porch. she had no visible injuries. she had just died, the way things die sometimes.
it is also true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is wonderful. the sheer happenstance that makes rain turn into a rainbow. the impossible coincidence of finding your best friend. i have made so many mistakes and i have let myself down and i have harmed other people by accident. nature moves anyway. on the worst day of my life she delivers me an orange juice sunset, as if she is saying try again tomorrow.
how vast and unknowing the universe! how small we are! isn't that lovely. the universe has given us flowers and harp strings and the shape of clouds. how massive our lives are in comparison to a grasshopper. the world so bright, still undiscovered. even after 30 years of being on this earth, i learned about a new type of animal today: the dhole.
chance echoing in my life like a harmony between two people talking. do you think you and i, living in different worlds but connected through the internet - do you think we've ever seen the same butterfly? they migrate thousands of miles. it's possible, right?
how beautiful the ways we fill the vastness of space. i love that when large amounts of people are applauding in a room, they all start clapping at the same time. i love that the ocean reminds us of our mother's heartbeat. i love that out of all the colors, chlorophyll chose green. i love the coincidences. i love the places where science says i don't know, but it just happens.
"the universe doesn't care about you!" oh, i know. that's okay. i care about the universe. i will put my big stupid heart out into it and watch the universe feast on it. it is not painful. it is strange - the more love you pour into the unfeeling world, the more it feels the world loves you in return. i know it's confirmation bias. i think i'm okay if my proof of kindness is just my own body and my own spirit.
i buried the bird from our porch deep in the woods. that same day, an old friend reaches out to me and says i miss you. wherever you go, no matter how bad it gets - you try to do good.
#writeblr#warm up#i can't write rn but i have SO much words in here bc im reading the chorus of dragons books#(just started book 4)#and this woman's writing is just LIVING in my brain. let me out!!!#(i read roughly like 2-4 books a week usually bc i go on long walks with my dog but when a book is REALLY good like. it eats my life. )#anyway ...... so like here's a story that idk i've tried to explain to other people as being wild#but maybe im the only one who thinks it is wild???#so i play pokemon go (i just started in jan) bc i love pokemon and as i have mentioned i walk goblin for like an hour in the morning#and i don't like a lot of fitness trackers due to the fact it makes me .sad. but i also wanted the little digital rewards. enter pokemon go#anyway so they make you make friends to complete quests. so i used a reddit thread. i do not usually use reddit. i don't have an acct#i lurked. i just googled like ''pokemon go reddit '' and randomly added a bunch of numbers#i was on that page for all of 15 minutes. there are THOUSANDS of responses on that page.#here's what's wild: in that group of people. even though i am not on reddit and it was one random event once#it turns out one of those people lives in the town i live in. or at least very close. i only know this because#when we send each other gifts. it's from the same freaking area.#i can't ask them to meet up bc pokemon go doesn't have a messaging app lol but like . what are the fucking chances that#a random person posts in a random reddit thread and HAPPENS to get added by someone ELSE from their SAME TOWN#who by pure fucking CHANCE is ALSO playing pokemon go and looking for friends#i googled it there's only 42000 people in my broad region. the .......... smallness ! of the world!!!

I think one of the funniest headcanons I ever had for Jon is that yeah I'm a "Jon wears glasses" truther but that's as far as his gran went for his eyesight. Just "eh you can see better that's fine now read" and he just never knew he was colorblind until he became the archivist and thought he'd acquired shrimp vision seeing shrimp colors.
He finds out when he tries to excitedly explain the color purple to Martin and Martin's like babe. I have to tell you something.
#the magnus archives#tma#magnuspod#jonathan sims#being able to write this joke with my girlfriend in real time was one of the funniest fucking things I've ever gotten to do in group rp#I can never set it up that well again#nothing I ever write for jon will ever be quite as funny as this#I think I still have screenshots somewhere of the thread lmao

My decided take on Veilguard is that it's like DA2 - we're getting a story from an unreliable narrator. This time though, we're not getting Varric, the professional, widely published thriller-mystery writer.
It's really just Bellara's amateur friend-fiction.
#dragon age#dragon age the veilguard#datv#datv spoilers#veilguard#veilguard spoilers#bellara lutare#my shitposting headcanon#its her story about a plucky hero who cares about their friends#and a group of good people trying their hardest#it's a little kitchy and a little shallow#plot threads are left loose and characters are underdeveloped#but she's new at this

I have sewed a few more blocks from the beach quilt, and I repaired a stuffed animal for a neighbor (no pictures because it's not my stuffed animal), but crafting updates might be a little sparse for the next week or so? I have a short week at work this week, a lot of work to get done, and I am getting my covid booster this week (we'll see how that goes lol)
#the person behind the yarn#the stuffed animal was a charmander! I fixed a seam#my neighborhood has a facebook group and I have a standing offer to the group#that I will repair any stuffed animal for free as long as I don't have to buy supplies#and if I do have to buy supplies I will only charge for that but like#I almost never need to buy supplies. Repairs rarely take more than a scrap of fabric and a bit of thread and time#maybe a little stuffing but I buy polyfil stuffing in bulk it's no big deal to give a handful of it to a neighbor to fix a plushie#I can't help with neighbor projects and I can't attend neighborhood parties so this is my way of like#community building? so far I've only repaired a handful of things#but it makes me happy every time I am so glad I can help

[luminaryofblood] "You keep dangerous company... But then, I suppose I can't think of better company. Not in this time and age."
BALDUR'S GATE 3 SENTENCE STARTERS || Highly accepting!
Rya lifted her head, blinking at the towering figure. Hands crossed close to her chest. Unlike the current company, she was the contrast to the danger.
Since little, Rya had no friends of her age, growing up among recusants, or who ever her mother invited for trials. Among knights and dedicated the champions also included the wretched, murderers, deserters and those escaping ghosts from their pasts. Dangerous people, for dangerous tasks. Yet, she had opportunity to see better side of humanity within them. By cover, not many seemed too different.
Being no human herself she found kinship among the variety of beings mostly deceived by cover - aggressive, for having suffered of wrong doings. Some... pushed others away until convinced otherwise.
Perhaps, she had been merely lucky to avoid confrontation of a true monster, more likely, in a skin of a human, rather than anything else.
Finally, she spoke.
"...I suppose it depends, if I am in danger... I cannot think of anyone who hadn't stained their hands in blood. Whether in name of the Order, or blasphemy against it..." || @luminaryofblood
#luminaryofblood#♕*.ic#♕*.threads#♕*.v. set on the journey#|| rya vc: let's see... my mother leads a group of order haters and dangerous people... and my father is a man eating serpent...#|| I talk to strangers without fear...#|| you should fit right in

@n1ghtsongs @stxrfclls sunan & each sister.
once they were able to calm kitti down, and help them to another member of the dawn court, sunan was on the way to make sure his siblings were okay. his back was still killing him and he still had no idea where on the mother's green earth they were but it seemed as though it wasn't hostile . . . yet. gods he hoped it wasn't because his magic was already drained so much. upon seeing the back of their sibling they trotted up to them, placing a hand on each of their shoulders as he look inventory of their body. "are you okay?"

closed starter with: rhea greyjoy and any muse!(@insooth , @morewoe , @grandeurss)
A vase of roses sat in the middle of the table, picturesque in the afternoon light, arranged meticulously and still in perfect condition despite being a few days old. Rhea sat slouched over the table, sore head in her hand, bored, watching the light move across the floor as the minutes ticked by. The revelry had at the previous night's ball had been exciting- there was no doubt there- but there was a price to be paid for it, and she was drudging through the day as gently as she could. Mindlessly, she plucked a rose from the vase, bringing the bloom to her nose before turning it over in her hand. A foolish move, made immediately apparent as a thorn pierced her finger. “Ah! Shit,” she murmured, dropping the rose and bringing her finger to her mouth. The turn of another’s head caught her eye, and their gaze prompted her to put the flower back in its vase. “I want to call it a wretched thing, but that would be unfair to the blossom.”

What's the best comedy ever made and why is it Wooden Overcoats
#wooden overcoats#literally the people who created that show reached into my brain extracted the very essence of my sense of humour#and distilled it into a 4 season audio sitcom about undertakers#to this day it's the only podcast I've ever listened to in its entirety#(nothing personal I just find my attention wanders from podcasts a lot i lose the thread)#wooden overcoats though? have listened to it like 10 times in its entirety and am currently listening again#i should write more silly chapyard sometime#maybe even finish that spider au one of these days#mr. bees speaks#i tend to downplay how i sincerely think it's the Funniest Thing Ever Made when chatting to my brother#bc he was in an improv group with one of the producers/directors at uni and I think he would get legit weird and jealous about it sbshfhhdd

Ashton reading Orym SO WRONG in e31 is insane
Like Orym is not Healthy And Well Adjusted ™ and the look on his face as he's accused of being such is just proof.
Someone please talk to my boy he's STRUGGLING
#silver sending stones#listen i have spoiled myself a lot but the little things are getting to me#like holy shit no wonder orym calls dorian crying that hes struggling#this man is in a thread and hes the most stable in the group#i am sympathetic bonding with orym except we both take full anxiety damage#orym of the air ashari#and i know Imogen tries but shes kind of the main character l#so shes having other problems
