Nothing bothers me more than wanting to read an angsty fic knowing well enough that I do not have the time nor the mental stability to read it

Aaaand that's a wrap on binding solmussa's Only The Brave for me. Third and final volume is done. I'm really happy with how the spines look on a bookshelf.

It was my first experience working with a cutting machine and a heat transfer foil and it wasn't as smooth sailing as I'd like to, but oh well, you can't do everything perfect at a first try.

Photos of the first two books are also published on my page btw. I'm so grateful to everyone who liked and complimented my little project. Learning and trying new things can be frustrating, so it was really nice to see people enjoying what I’m doing.

Next step: to make a pretty slipcase box to store the books. I've seen some videos on tiktok and it looked sooo good. Now I want one for myself.

Who would of thought that almost falling off a roof could be so sexy

[valkyraine]

do y’all remember the scene from only the brave where james was captured by death eaters?

now, imagine james potter, bloodied and battered barely clinging to consciousness—sprawled out on the floor, saying something similar with river’s line on doctor who, where she goes: “god knows where he is right now, but i promise you, he’s doing whatever the hell he wants & not giving a damn about me! and i’m just fine with that….. and if i happen to find myself in danger, he is not stupid enough or sentimental enough and he is certainly not in love enough to find himself standing in it with me!”

even on the verge of passing out, he still manages to gloat, mock, and taunt voldemort, laughing at the sheer futility of the entire scheme. with absolute certainty, he claims that it’s all been for nothing because regulus black doesn’t give a damn about him. he says it with so much conviction, completely unaware that regulus is already planning on bargaining his life in exchange for james’ safety.

then fast forward to weeks after they defeated voldemort, and regulus is no longer under the influence of legacy’s magic, out of nowhere, regulus will be struck by a memory of: james writhing in pain under the cruciatus curse, so sure that regulus wouldn’t come for him. the weight of it hits him like the curse itself, sharp and unbearable. it hits him so hard that he immediately apparates to james quidditch practice, needing to shower him with all the love and affection he can muster. he is set on erasing any doubt james ever had, and prove how much regulus would willingly set the whole world on fire if it meant keeping james out of harm’s way.

p.s. by imagine, i meant: someone pls pls write an au of that particular scene in “how to save a life” chapter in only the brave 🙏 i am BEGGING! GROVELING! this scene has been stuck in my head ever since i heard that audio & i need my brain scratched

yall ever be writing your own fic and feel your stomach drop when you reread it. like i will be writing zoned out and i go back and i’m like 😃👍 oh okay cool wtf did i just write rn

Poppy for N2 au, it took me so long to make her design cuz I didn't really know what I wanted to do only because I feel like her design is pretty perfect.

But then I just thought about fun outfits to give her or outfits that I would find comfortable if I was wearing them and it all came together.

Poppy here is pretty much the same as here movie counterpart, as nothing really changes on her end of things other than having more insight on Branch through his brothers, and through Lief. Shes also a bit more understanding a bit earlier on because of it but it doesnt do much to change her own character arc I would say.

Bonus

Part of Poppys design was based off a design I had made for previous rulers of Troll Village/Tree

Namely Queen Protea who I designed as Poppys grandmother

Named after the Protea flower which part of her design is based off :D

In the context of this Au Protea was the one who conceptualized the tunnels while her son, King Peppy, was the one to follow through after her death

A little love letter to Din Djarin writers... 🤍

I love that some of you write him as soft and gentle while others focus on the darker, harsher parts of his personality. I love that he can be both a quiet, kind man caring for his child or an intimidating, terrifying bounty hunter who is a lean, mean killing machine... depending on what the fic warrants.

I love how you write him with other characters from The Mandalorian or even with those who would never cross paths with him in canon, from Star Wars or elsewhere. I love how you write him interacting with yourselves and us, and some of you even create your own original characters to exist a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away alongside him.

I love that some of you ship him with that one other special person, while others recognise how desirable he is and ship alllllll the ships. Not forgetting those of you which are here for none of those ships and/or even headcanon him as ace. I love that any of those options allow you to explore your own identities and sexualities through him.

I love that you can write the most tooth-rotting fluff or filthiest smut, and all of those things in between. Whether it's for general audiences or explicit and strictly 18+ ... all of your fics have an audience and someone out there who appreciates your writing.

I love how differently you can interpret him, but there are also so many common themes and tropes running through your writing. I love that there is room for all of your Dins here.

I love that he means so much to you and that all of us here hold him in our hearts a little bit. I love that we can all watch the same episodes and come to entirely different conclusions about him. I love how much we love him.

Getting to be a part of this wonderful community and interact with so many people who love the space tin can man as much as I do has truly been one of the best things that happened to me recently. I'm so glad I made this little blog... It reminded me just how good fandom can be. I am blown away by the number of talented people here!

So, I just wanted to take a moment to express some gratitude towards all of you! Thank you for writing your Dins and please don't ever stop. Finally.... last, but not least:

I love Din Djarin!!!

Choices is a no-no

out of self-preservation, I have decided that i will NOT read choices, i REFUSE to read a fanfic with a quote like "somewhere, on the west country of england, james potter cant breathe" FUCK NO, double it and pass it to the next person, i'll happily stay in delulu land reading Only The Brave where they all live

[dinonuggetsandjuiceboxes]

I love the duality in Only the Brave where James is like ‘no. I can’t meddle in Wolfstar. It’s too delicate.’ And Dorcas is just like ‘fuck you. Rosekiller is gonna happen, and it’s gonna happen bc of me’.

Being a Filipino marauders stan (Jegulus centered) is so hard because while y'all are reminded of starchaser when you see green and red, all I see is my country's bad choice of leaders 🙏😭

The second book of solmussa's Only the Brave series is finished.

This time I had to use a different golden foil and boy oh boy was I disappointed. Lines of the border look much more jugged than in the first book due to a thinner foil and it was so difficult to work with. I was so bummed out that I didn’t even feel like finishing the third book.

I might order the foil I used for the first tome, but gooooods this thing is expensive.

Anyway, if someone is interested in the design or typesetted version of the text, just contact me and I'll share it. For free of course.

Looks nice on the shelf tho. The third tome is awaiting.

I'm seriously so confused rn with this massive hate train on TikTok to OTB James like???? 💀 What tf are they so pressed about? Like I can understand the dual povs makes us feel bad for Regulus but James actually had every fucking right to do what he did bc HE DIDNT KNOW. HOW ARE PEOPLE MISSING THAT SM 😭. And like it was no peaceful breakup either, Regulus literally chewed James heart and spat it out to his face (for a good reason! But James was unaware!). Idk about yall but if the person I considered the loml suddenly said I was worth the gum on the bottom of his shoe a Hoe Era would be the least people should expect from me I am committing homicide.

Justice for OTB James he does not deserve the slut shaming just bc his ex stayed loyal. AND PLEASE JUST STOP HATING ON OTB HARRY TOO LIKE?? His introduction was handled really well all things considered 💀. People ask complex characterization in the Marauders fandom but they cannot handle my messy man James people on TikTok need to get a grip I'm so srs.

Idk man I needed to vent I am so irked about this HAHAHAHAHA

I HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO JEGULUSISM. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

In case you’re wondering, the culprit is Only The Brave
