murderbot going to stand in the corner so nobody can look it in the eyes while it tries to convince the humans to stay put in the secure zone for once in their lives

in light of recent events with the election, i want to remind everyone to take care of themselves the best they can. i know that things are really hard right now for so many people—women, poc, lgbtq+, especially. but please do not forget that there are people out there who love you, who care for you, and wish nothing but the best for you. check in on your loved ones, and check in on yourself 🤍

i love you. we’ll be ok. it doesn’t feel that way now, and it might not feel that way for awhile. but we’ll be ok.

Ok my inbox is about to explode with wholesome dirty fluffy filthy poly au stuff so I recommend you filter the poly au tag now if it's not your cup of tea because I'm about to get so annoying

(Like srsly it's going to look like this:)

did not expect the reflection on chase to go that hard in house vs god. ‘why do you always do things you don’t want to do?’ hit right in the fawn response

ur style is def the way u draw bodies?!? very boxy in a good way!! n then there r the eyes auhsjm yes i can automatically tell it’s you just by looking at the eyes?!?

as for ur tm when it comes to texts n all; very bubbly! bubbly yet very elegant!! u know tons of words spookz n tbh i have learned a few words from ur fics n tags!! ALSO UR EMOTICONS AUHSSJ THE LITTLE “:3” and “^_^” I CAN DEF TELL IT;S YOU JUST BY LOOKING AT IT!!

hii francesss :333

ive been keeping this thing in the inbox for a loooong while – i tend to read it over quite often . especially when im feeling down in the dumps . and i think i finally have an actual way to respond to it coherently

im rlly glad that you've come to appreciate the way i draw bodies . since i myself have a hard time with that aspect specifically – posing and such are always difficult and i tend to get the most frustrated when it comes to that

on top of that . eyes are also something i think are very meaningful ; i always try my hardest to make the eyes of a character reflect a part of themselves . whether it would be in shape . or style . or color . or just small details – working on the eyes is probably my favorite part about drawing ahaha ¥_^

and thank you for the kind words regarding my texting / speaking style – truth be told . im always embarrassed by it ; i feel weirdly disconnected from the people around me because of how i talk . since everyone seems to find it off-putting or bizarre – that's not even mentioning the fact i speak english better than my native language . but still can't seem to speak it well ahaha ≠w=

all in all . thank you so much for sending this ask and im sorry that it took so long for .e to finally get around to answering it 💌💌💌

Golden flame danced between her fingers.

Elide recoiled, and the fire vanished as quickly as it had appeared.

"My name is Essar," the female said softly. "I am a friend--of your friends, I believe."

Elide said nothing.

"Cairn is a monster," Essar said, taking a step closer. "Stay far from him."

"I need to find him."

"You played the part of his mistreated lover well enough. You have to know something about him. What he does."

"If you know where he is, please tell me." She wasn't above begging.

Essar ran an eye over Elide. Then she said, "He was in this city until yesterday. Then he went out to the eastern camp." She pointed with a thumb over a shoulder. "He's there now."

"How do you know?"

"Because he's not terrorizing the patrons of every fine establishment in this town, glutting himself on the coin Maeve gave him when he took the blood oath."

Elide blinked. She had hoped some of the Fae might be opposed to Maeve, especially after the battle in Eyllwe, but to find such outright distaste...

Essar then added, "And because my sister--the soldier you spoke with--told me. She saw him in the camp this morning, smirking like a cat."

"Why should I believe you?"

"Because you are wearing Lorcan's shirt, and Rowan Whitethorn's cloak. If you do not believe me, inform them who told you and they will." Elide cocked her head to the side.

Essar said softly, "Lorcan and I were involved for a time."

They were in the midst of war, and had traveled for thousands of miles to find their queen, and yet the tightness that coiled in Elide's gut at those words somehow found space. Lorcan's lover. This delicate beauty with a bedroom voice had been Lorcan's lover.

"I'll be missed if I'm gone for too long, but tell them who I am. Tell them that I told you. If it's Cairn they seek, that is where he shall be. His precise location, I don't know." Essar backed away a step. "Don't go asking after Cairn at other taverns. He isn't well regarded, even amongst the soldiers. And those who do follow him... You do not wish to attract their interest."

Essar made to turn away, but Elide blurted,

"Where did Maeve go?"

Essar looked over her shoulder. Studied her.

The female's eyes widened. "She has Aelin of the Wildfire," Essar breathed.

Elide said nothing, but Essar murmured, "That was... that was the power we felt the other night." Essar swept back toward Elide. Gripped her hands. "Where Maeve went a few days ago, I don't know. She did not announce it, did not take anyone with her. I often serve her, am asked to... It doesn't matter. What matters is Maeve is not here. But I do not know when she will return."

Relief again threatened to send Elide crumpling to the ground. The gods, it seemed, had not abandoned them just yet.

But if Maeve had taken Aelin to the outpost where they'd lied that the Valg prince had been contained...

Elide gripped Essar's hands, finding them warm and dry. "Does your sister know where Cairn resides in the camp?"

For long minutes, then an hour, they had talked.

Essar left and returned with Dresenda, her sister. And in that alley, they had plotted.

Elide finished telling Rowan, Lorcan, and Gavriel what she'd learned. They sat in stunned silence for a long minute.

"Just before dawn," Elide repeated. "Dresenda said the watch on the eastern camp is weakest at dawn. That she'd find a way for the guards to be occupied. It's our only window."

Rowan was staring into the trees, as if he could see the layout of the camp, as if he were plotting his way in, way out.

"She didn't confirm if Aelin was in Cairn's tent, though," Gavriel cautioned. "Maeve is gone--Aelin might be with her, too."

"It's a risk we take," Rowan said. A risk, perhaps, they should have considered.

Elide glanced to Lorcan, who had been silent throughout. Even though it had been his lover who had helped them, perhaps guided by Anneith herself. Or at least had been tipped off by the scent on Elide's clothes.

"You think we can trust her?" Elide asked Lorcan, though she knew the answer.

Lorcan's dark eyes shifted to her. "Yes, though I don't see why she'd bother."

"She's a good female, that's why," Rowan said.

At Elide's lifted brow, he explained, "Essar visited Mistward this spring. She met Aelin." He cut a glare toward Lorcan. "And asked me to tell you that she sends her best."

Elide hadn't seen anything that came close to pining in Essar's face, but gods, she was beautiful. And smart. And kind. And Lorcan had let her go, somehow.

[inkykeiji]

uGH ANON LIKE I WAS ALSO ON THE FUCKING FLOOR FOREHEAD PRESSED TO THE TILES (or his toesies hehehe) oh my good god he is so insanely attractive i can barely handle it!!! i need him inside of me in some way, shape, or form NOW!!!!!!

[frodo-with-glasses]

Thirdly, and finally, I wish to make an ANNOUNCEMENT.

I’m going on another trip!! I’ll be leaving at heck o’clock in the morning tomorrow, and won’t be back for another two weeks. Where I’m going, wifi will be a bit sketch, so I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to check in with you guys, check for typos/network errors, or interact like I usually do.

HOWEVER! I’ve worked very hard over the past week to stock up the queue for y’all, so unless tumblr breaks, you’ll still have your regularly scheduled ask game posts and doodles to enjoy every day! So leave good tags, everybody; I’ll giggle maniacally over them when I get back. ;-)

SEE YOU SOON! 💚

“You need to get out of Florida!”

How? Fucking how??? Are you people telling me this going to pay for me and my boyfriend to move??? We don’t have the fucking money to do so!

Stop telling people who are LGBT+, not white, anyone being targeted by DeShitstain to “just move!” ITS NOT THAT FUCKING EASY!

Now I get it, I’m a white cis “straight passing” woman, but fuck dudes. I’m scared for my friend who aren’t. I have a lot of friends who are trans or nonbinary who are at risk because of that fucking fascist. It’s scary and I worry for them. And not to mention, I have PCOS so I’m scared to get pregnant in the future because I’m at such a high fucking risk for a miscarriage, and I’m as good as fucking dead if I do here. And I need birth control to regulate it and if they go after it, I’m also as good as dead with the fact I can straight up get ovarian or cervical cancer.

Actually fucking support the people being put at risk who live in Florida instead of just telling them to move. And for the love of god. If that piece of shit runs for President, fucking get out there and vote against him every single fucking way you know how. We can’t let him get that much power.

Good afternoon! What kind of characters or tropes do you wish you could see more of?? [Ex. More Trans characters; More witches; More himbos]

AND/OR: What kind of characters or tropes would you like to see LESS of? [Ex. Less Trans characters who have to live lives of misery; Less "evil" witches; Less characters played by Mark Wahlberg]

AKA what i need in my life are anti-capitalist trans witches who live lives of joy and community and also some himbos are there! HELL YEAH!!! ....... *ahem*. You don't have to be that specific, but hopefully you get the idea!
