I think Limbo's third ascension/lore is hidden behind lostbelt heian kyo completion, alas ;w; (sits in no oberon 3 ascend with you)

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I guess both of them will not have their final ascensions for a while then 😔

i would like to hear more about house md of leaves

House MD of Leaves is my House MD/House of Leaves crossover (obviously) which I am currently planning. At the moment my thought is that it involves a lot of OCs and takes the form of the main character documenting a server he found at a garage sale with what appears to be dozens of documents about an episode of House MD that does not exist. The episode is about House treating a man who is in some sort of delirious state as the hospital itself begins to grow and change mysteriously around him, and it goes from there.

i would like to hear about the wizard research projects 👀

The wizard research projects! The wizard research projects have nothing to do with the plot (probably.) The wizard research projects are nerd shit that exist because I am a scientist. The wizard research projects include:

Ecological impacts of magically-mutated fauna in non-arcane biomes: magic creatures that mutated in the region leave and become invasive species outside the region?

Health outcomes from the consumption of spontaneously-mutated magical crops: your pumpkins sometimes go wacky. people are eating them anyway because what the hell. Risks?

Applied topology in sigil design for more efficient energy output: draw sigil better, maybe store more magic in it

Analysis of sustainability of spell component crystal harvesting and improvements to crystal farming: we do a lot of magic here, are we over-mining the mountains? Is that affecting underdark habitat? Can we grow usable spell crystals in a lab

Spell linguistics: combining somatic and verbal components for casters using sign language: not all casters can speak. Can techniques be refined to improve casting safety and efficiency? Implications of these techniques for Silencing/Anti-caster strategy?

It's a lot of random shit, tbh. None of these are extremely fleshed out, but they come up as I'm worldbuilding because I'm thinking through what kind of society would develop if weird powers were the norm. I have no idea if my players will ever interact with academics, but if they ever do, i will be ready with a bunch of nerds for them to talk to who are doing everything in their power to take magic apart so they can put it back together but better. Come on, people have got to be studying arcane ecology. And political science. And magical taxonomy (angry debates over whether some effect is transmutation or necromancy). Somewhere out there, there is a man-eating slime cube that a wizard keeps in a pit and studies and that wizard absolutely loves the slime cube and will tell everyone about the biology of the slime cube.

I'm trying to figure out what their rail system would look like. I'm pretty sure they've invented rail. Also what does Create and Destroy Water imply for the law of conservation of matter? Someone has looked into that, I'm sure. Whoever invented that spell probably started a lot of fights at the universities.

[hellofeanor]

this might already be happening in the brittle stars sequel, but - nanil and Adar meet again in Valinor. (And promptly become four times as annoying to elves together than they were separately.) peng is thrilled tho

LMAO I do have all of these things on the to-do list for the Brittle Star sequel! I just need to. You know. Get it all written.

[jaclynhyde]

Congrats!!! He’s finally here!!

i never thought it would happen…..

Adar x Celebrimbor Edit

(screenshots via cap-that.com) (my other trop edits)

This edit was specifically made for a scene in ’in my scar covered heart, color will always exist’ by @plotdesigner, but as with all my edits, I also want to share them in general with everyone who loves the pairing/the ship and wants some nice graphics/edits to look at <3

Also I accidentally gave myself/the Adar fandom the closest thing we might ever get to a nenya-fied Mawle!Adar I think? I didn't even intend for the color to make it look like he's got a healthier skintone. But I certainly love how this came out!

[corsicanchevalier]

My word, the flashback I had

Before youtube and lets plays letting us see games (and some anime) without playing them ourselves, there were

Zarla's Screencap Adventures on livejournal - which are now hosted on their own site:

https://www.ashido.com/screencaps.html

Silver Chaos is under the yaoi section. It is very NSFW.

For legal reasons, the characters in this book are Generic Moriondo and Nondescript Elf Commander of the Cardinal direction. (The legal reasons are Gil-galad doesn't want to get assassinated.)

HUH?????????

PEOPLE, THIS IS NOT A DRILL

WE HAVE A CRITICAL STOLF SITUATION

[sailon-ishmael]

Tag Game: People I'd like to get to know better!

Ty to @erebusbabylon for the tag! <33

Last Song: "Nowhere Near" by Yo La Tengo. I've been getting very into shoegaze recently and this song just popped up on shuffle. I've known of this band for a while but haven't really listened so this song might be what gets me into them!

Favorite Color: It's always so hard to choose but it's probably green or blue. I also just generally really like the primary colors, I had a big phase of wearing very color block-y outfits that featured just one color throughout and it was pretty enjoyable.

Last Book: I'm currently reading Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky because I met someone recently who told me I should read the Russians, and I just requested A Perfect Spy by John Le Carré from my library because I've been on a little bit of a spy thing recently (see TV answer). The last book I fully finished though was Free Food for Millionaires by Min Jin Lee (also wrote Pachinko). HIGHLY recommend, it was a re-read for me actually but it hit me so differently this time round as a recent college graduate trying to figure out what I want from life.

Last Movie: A French movie called The Taste of Things, directed by Tran Anh Hung. Really, really gorgeous film. It's a quiet, mature romance set in late 1800s France, slow and meditative. This film emphasizes the beauty of process when it comes to food. The cooking and eating, yes, but also the growing, the preparation, the cleaning etc.

Last TV show: I've been sick at home for the past couple of days and as such I've been allowing myself to binge as much TV as I want, and my ultimate comfort genre is British murder mysteries and spy thrillers (a la La Carré). So I just binged Marlow Murder Club (very fun, short, and sweet) and The Night Manager (sexy, stylish, and riveting).

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: I'm a savory lover through and through, give me a piping hot soup to sip on instead of a hot chocolate any day! I used to scarf down a cup ramen in the 20 minutes I had between two back to back classes in my last semester, and I couldn't stand to throw out the soup after I finished the noodles so I'd just show up to class with my little cup of steaming leftover soup and sip on it throughout lolol.

Current Obsession: Mmm trying to think of an answer that isn't astoundingly obvious *side eyes my whole blog* but honestly, I guess my current obsession as an editor is one Harry Goodsir. His wet eyes and spiral of disillusionment have bewitched me body and soul. Other than The Terror and TROP, I've also been recently re-awakened to my obsessions with Bagginshield and Valvert (Les Mis). For some reason, my high school comfort ships have decided it's time to make a reappearance in my brain's rotation of rotstuff.

6. what movie did you rewatch constantly as a kid?

I had a couple of notable ones. One was the Walking With Dinosaurs Sea Monsters trilogy, one was a shark educational program, and one was the second Land Before Time movie. I feel like this says a lot about me as a person tbh

[malkaleh]

A Mostly Complete List Of Fic Ideas I Want To Read Not Write (A Meme I Just Made Up)

Includes content from TROP (will also have influences from the books because I’m me), Grishaverse, Tortall and TWW. All of these are free plot bunnies just like LINK ME PLEASE.

TROP (this is gold cages unless otherwise specified)

(non gold cages) Sauron did not expect to fall in love with Galadriels husband as well as Galadriel (he is still very much mourning Celebrimbor as well) and WAIT they have a daughter who I am having…parental feelings about (AU Celebrian doesn’t get kidnapped by orcs because of her parents kind of boyfriend).

AU AU: Finrod is there in Gold Cages

Saurons entire arc of falling in love with all of them in Gold Cages, in detail. Especially featuring I Am Screamingly Fucking Jealous Of Everyone Right Now.

Sauron learning about the Celebrian/Elrond wedding and after that, the resulting children.

The day(s) they arrive in Lindon after they have escaped.

The reactions (Durin, Disa, Gil-Galad, Mirdania, Cirdan) when they find out exactly why Sauron has them from someone they captured.

(non gold cages) good!mairon AU who was a captive of Morgoth - the day Eonwe and co broke into Angband in the War of Wrath.

(non gold cages) human!halbrand featuring Halbrand realising that Elrond Really Freaks Hair Bow Fucker Out.

Tortall

Good Duke Roger Verse. Just ANYTHING.

Half Bazhir Jon of Conte

Kel was never put on probation AU

Jon/Numair/Thayet - featuring the aftermath of Wild Magic in this AU.

Spymaster of Tortall Ozorne (he and Numair and Varice all ran away together and are married with children) crosses into regular universe.

Grishaverse

Darkling is in fact who he told Alina he was.

Darkling is as into Nikolai as he is Alina.

Crows-Grisha-Mal polycule/found family.

Grishaverse Hunger Games

TWW

Josh/Donna/Sam modern administration AU (because I’m kind of fascinated by them being in a relationship but social media ala @jessbakescakes Josh/Donna AU).

CJ getting actual proper apologies and like affirmations that she’s part of the family hurt/comfort after people actually realise how much she feels not enough and gets hurt/sick in the process (this is just self indulgence in the extreme okay).

The ‘Sam the rape survivor’ one

Abbey has adopted these kids as much as Jed and Leo and the times she realises it.

Tagging to post your own wishlist (if you want to): @plotdesigner @themalhambird @conundrumoftime @verecunda @shes-a-voodoo-child @mariedemedicis @nocompromise-noregrets @onekisstotakewithme @holy-ships-x-red-lips @scary-grace @seagull-energy @ruffboijuliaburnsides @captainlordauditor @erulasse23 @queenmeriadoc @claudiajcregg @self-destructinganimal @naurielrochnur @eidetictelekinetic and anyone else who wants to do.
