like a helpless captive, a distraught midwife like a libran husband and a capricorn wife i turn to wine and whiskey and these cryptic songs maybe I’m passive aggressive or maybe i'm wrong

[fragbot]

I've got this number in my head and I don't wanna wait out in the grass to study our vibrations Keeping time, dead daisy chains I don't wanna wait on our impending graceful isolation

- from "Mood Ring," P.S. Eliot (x)

[princesssarcastia]

oh WAIT A MINUTE we've all been getting it wrong. in a magical AU, Eliot Spencer isn't the one with healing powers or immense strength—he's the psychic.

"it's a distinctive____" no the fuck it isn't. he just KNOWS. but people get uneasy when a guy just KNOWS stuff, so eliot learned a line that keeps everybody calm, gives everybody just enough plausible deniability to keep the unease at bay.

he's always got that extra bit of knowledge to help him out. not more than he can handle, not like some kind of savant in more ways than it's possible for one human to be. nothing flashy. it's not that eliot's never lost his keys before. it's just that he always, always knows where to find them.

About Heart of Gold

Hello everyone! Thanks so much for your patience and your questions about the current status of Heart of Gold. It’s been an extremely busy time since we finished volume 2, with ups and downs in our private and professional lives. And sitting down to write this wasn’t easy, but we’ve been sitting on this far too long than we’d have liked, and we apologize for letting you all wait. Well, to get straight to the point: Heart of Gold is on an indefinite hiatus. There’s a chance we will return to this project, but right now we are focusing on other areas. More under the cut below!

Longform comics without a publisher and large funding behind it run at the risk of burnout, and we can now say we’re unfortunately no strangers to that. We’ve had incredible support from our readers and our patrons, much more than we could’ve ever imagined.

But unfortunately, as it is with webcomics, creativity and funding burns quicker than one might hope, and we ended up deciding to explore other avenues. We’ve always wanted to find our footing in illustration, and ultimately find a healthy balance between work and life without overextending ourselves. The workload of a comic can easily be underestimated, and boy, did we underestimate!

So right now, we’re focusing on growing artistically while also recovering from burnout; on finding ourselves a bit and what we want to create in this world to make it a kinder place.

We’ve been so grateful for every lovely bit of fanart, comment and financial support we've received from our readers. What started as a passion project found its way to people that returned the love we have for this project, manyfold. Thanks for sharing the excitement for HoG with us, it truly meant and still means the world to us.

We hope you’ll look forward to other projects we’ll be working on in the future, be it of our own creation or in collaboration with clients!

- Eliot & Viv

PS: As for printing plans for Heart of Gold volume 2: There's still plans! Just as mentioned above, no time or space (like, literally. we're drowning in books) to take care of it right now. But we'd love nothing more than to have a companion for volume 1.

Call me crazy, say i am over reaching, BUT

I firmly think that some of the cishet white MALE cast mates should def be speaking out against the treatment from specifically THEIR FANS towards the queer and poc actors.

Like OBVIOUSLY Bethany, Emma and Steven can stand up for themselves, but if the condemnation came from the Actor(s) who play the character that often times these hateful people are fans of or “on the side”(on the side of their characters), maybe they would shut the hell up. Like if their favourite white boy tells them not to say racist hateful shit- maybe they ACTUALLY WILL.

I also think perhaps they (Both the writers and honestly the older actors) should speak out against the hate levied towards THE CHILD ACTORS on their show. Harry Collett is no longer a child, but if i remember correctly was underage during the show. I constantly see people calling him a bastard, and wishing him dead, and saying he deserves awful things. I also see people constantly hating on Harvey (young luke), Eliot (Luke), Ty (young aegon), Leo (young jace), Shani (young baela), Eva (young Rhaena), and Olive (Jaehaera). All of this behaviour is disgusting and deplorable and it is severely disappointing to not see a single actor (not that it is their job to but they do have large platforms) or writer or even producer speaking out about this.

Obviously, harassing, threatening, having fantasies about, or making torture porn about ANY child is ridiculous. Especially for a fucking TV show.

Just my opinion.

PS- i love Bethany and if any of you have any shit to say about her, fucking block me now.

I also would like to say that the wrongness of these events is also linked to how the black characters (THAT HBO MADE BLACK??) had all of their stories majorly MAJORLY reduced and sidelined. Where is Baela with her cropped hair and trousers, constantly carting around a sword? Where is Laena, at 12, finding a half wild Vhagar and claiming the largest dragon? Where is her EXTREMELY close and loving relationship with both Rhaenyra and Daemon?? Where is Rhaenas storyline like, at all? WHERE THE FUCK IS NETTLES??????? All of their being sidelined and very VERY thinly disguised anti-black sentiment which is so infuriating ironic when you remember THAT HBO MADE THESE CHARACTERS CANONICALLY BLACK

Anyway…

[fixated-on-something]

I think about the magicians too much so here are some of my favourite quotes

Silly ones

Julia and Quentin: DO WE NOT AMUUUUUSE?

Julia: We made up that dance and it was TERRIBLE!

Quentin: oh god

Julia: It was so.. white.. and BAD.

Penny: I like your sweater

Quentin: Are you saying that to be cruel?

Penny: No. I like your sweater, I saw no reason not to share

Quentin: Well then, shall we go fuck some shit up?

Penny: Yes.

Margo: Yes.

Eliot: Yes definitely. Definitely yes.

Penny: Agreed. Feelings are bullshit.

Alice: Is that a traveller thing?

Penny: It’s a hearing voices thing

Alice: Well at least it beats whatever you were snorting

Penny: Marginally.

Kady: Ok, Mindslut?

Quentin: I don’t know you EITHER, except that we just summoned a killer MOTHMAN from another WORLD!

Marina: Did you figure you wanted to learn magic at your blow dry last week?

Penny: You’re welcome. (Blows kiss)

Quentin: What does that mean????

Quentin: you really don’t have to try to make me feel better we basically just met

Eliot: Well, I bond fast. Time is an illusion…

Eliot: How about I find you, and I don’t say magic is real, but I do seduce you and so lift your spirits that life retains its sparkle for decades…

Quentin: …yeah that sounds nice thank you

Dream Alice: If you would shut up for 2 seconds this sex dream could pass the Bechtel test, Quentin

Eliot: Once one of them offered to blow me for a spell. It was barely worth it.

Quentin: Is someone being creepy on purpose?

Margo: that is…. Not super consistent with the books

Quentin (genuinely very distressed): no!!! It’s not!!!! And I find that devastating!!! ☹️

Quentin: You can’t possibly want to be a dick more than you want to live!

Eliot: Oh yes very pristine, it’s been taken over by a kiddy diddling mutant.

Penny: The hell are you drinking?

Alice: I don’t know- triple sec?

Penny: What did Quentin do.

Margo: So we are fucked without grease

Quentin: Sounds like us

Eliot: Must be a Monday. Onward to glory.

Penny: Whoa WHOA WE ARE NOT. NOT. Killing a U.S. senator. But we will commit a felony… almost as stupid.

Eliot: IHEREBYDECREE! Rulers… done gonna rumble.

Margo: Ps we still hate you, but it’s the 21st century it shouldn’t be this hard for a girl to get an evil demigod abortion.

Niffin Alice: what’s this bitch doing in my room?

Margo: By agreeing to marry a stranger on the spot?

Eliot: I did it!

Margo: That was different.

Eliot: You’re right. This would only really be equivalent if Ess was a girl, and you found pussy you know, interesting in a ‘sometimes you like Thai food’ kinda way and now it’s all Thai food forever TILL YOU DIE.

Eliot: Hooolyyy shit the walking plot twist returns

Penny: Hi I need something

Eliot: Shocker. Hey Fen look it’s Uncy Penny! That’s right, I knocked her up. No big deal.

Penny: Uh- congratulations?

Eliot: like I needed more people calling me daddy but yes, thanks, we’re… thrilled.

Eliot: I am in way over my head. I’m not even in control of which of my bodies is awake and my sexually aggressive wife- she could wake me up at any moment in Fillory and-

Fogg: There are certain student teacher boundaries which I prefer not to cross.

Penny: “Let’s go hunt the white lady?” People like me get SHOT for saying shit like that.

NOW THE HEART SHATTERING ONES

Eliot: Do you think it’s real?

Quentin: Some of the good parts have to be. At least I hope so.

Eliot: Things aren’t usually worth caring about

Margo: Eliot he’s gone. why are your torturing yourself?

Eliot: Because he’s gone. And it’s my fault. And of all the people in the world who don’t understand, somehow you top the list.

Quentin: Every book every movie… is about one special guy. The chosen. You know in real life, for every one guy there are a billion people who aren’t.

Margo: I'm a king. Not a goddamn princess. A king.

Julia: I think it’s because it happened. And there’s nothing… magic about it anymore.

Emily: I don’t blame myself. Except for when I first wake up… and when I go to bed, and all the time in between.

Then obviously any quite related to 3x05 and pretty much the entirety of The Mountain Of Ghosts

I missed a bunch and these are mostly season 1-2 because that’s when I was taking notes during my rewatch

[yall-batman-fanfic]

Hello!

I've been reading your batmom content for the past week and i just read your recent work revolving Two Face and I was wondering if you have any other ideas for other characters, like Thomas Elliot for example?? Or maybe even Poison Ivy if you were to come up with a brilliant storyline?

PS: you have some of the best work i have ever seen for Bruce Wayne / Batmom content I've seen in a long while🖤

Pss: since the holidays are coming up are you going to feed us with a Christmas story? I'm going to have to go through the masterlist to see if I missed one😂. Have a happy holidays if you celebrate and I wish you well fortune within the new year!🖤

Hi! First, thank you for taking a chance to read this fanfic. I know that there are chapters that are so long and I'm happy that you're enjoying it 😊

Next, I want to answer the PSS note with YES. There will be a holiday /Christmas story for the Wayne-Pryor family 🦇🎄

And since we're nearing the end of the main story chapters, here is the content calendar for this blog:

This is just for December 2024. I might take a little break on the first week of January and from there, posting schedules may change from 4 chapters per week, it could be just 2-3 per week instead.

Don't worry, even with the main story ending, I'll still be posting chapters that feature other scenarios that I have on my list and scenarios that you and everyone would like to see in this fanfic universe. So, yes, I plan to explore more into the other members of Batman's rogue's gallery like Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn, to name a few; and Thomas Eliot who has been an interesting character along with Professor Pyg, Scarface, the Mad Hatter, and the Court of Owls.

Aside from those chapters, I plan to explore more into the other universes of DC, such as the Dark Knights of Steel (their magical and medieval take on their heroes), Absolute Batman (the Absolute Universe of DC made by Darkseid), some Batman Beyond scenarios which focuses more on Batsis (and if there are any other universes that you want to see Vivian and Bruce interact in, just leave a message).

Again, thank you so much for taking a chance on this Batman fanfic! And, Happy Holidays!

[bandedbulbussnarfblat]

so i was rereading some old poems and shit to get quotes to use for like, epigraphs and stuff. and i vibe with t.s eliot, just look at this shit:

Like, this man gets it.

(ps, all those bits come from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. If you click the link you can read the whole thing yourself, or have it read to you)

(pps the waste land by t.s eliot is his best poem, imo)

[dutifullylazybread]

I just read deeply and immovably so and I am BLOWN AWAY by your writing! the details you put into your stories are beautiful 💕 what inspires your writing? are there any authors you look up to? sending love from europe! 💘 (ps: i can’t wait to read chapter 13! the WIP you put out got me so excited!)

Ahhh! Thank you so much! 😭I am so glad you are enjoying the story!! I'm going to put my answer under the cut, because it got a little lengthy!

For fanfiction, I find that I get inspired when I read up on the lore and world building behind a series. I have so many ideas for Baldur's Gate 3 fics from just reading articles on the Forgotten Realms wiki. I'll ask, "Wait... what would happen if ___?" And then I build stories out from there (and I jump down research rabbit holes while I go).

I also will fixate on small details and game mechanics. Deeply and Immovably So was inspired by a glitch in my game and by Cal telling my Tav that she would always have a room in the tower. I have a Stardew Valley horror fanfic that I want to write, because I can't help but wonder how a farmer on year ten would respond to no one in Pelican Town aging.

I also get very inspired by reading stories that employ different magic systems (the Abhorsen series and Naomi Novik's Uprooted are the first two stories that spring to mind). Fairy tales and myths always inspire me to think about the sorts of legends that would go into world building for my original stories. Lore-heavy video games like Mass Effect and Skyrim give me absolute life too, because it feels that much easier to create a character who can seamlessly occupy a place in such an elaborate world (and I have so much information to work with!).

I really look up to writers like Alice Hoffman (her Practical Magic series, especially Magic Lessons was so, so good). I adore Madeleine Miller (Circe is one of my favorite books). Everything R.F. Kuang has written is fantastic--each book in her Poppy War trilogy destroyed me, and I was totally okay with it. Silvia Moreno-Garcia has me in a chokehold (Mexican Gothic was SO GOOD). Ava Reid's descriptions in Juniper & Thorn really encouraged me to think about the imagery and the emotions I use in my own writing.

I also love reading poetry. Rupi Kaur and Natalie Diaz are two contemporary writers that I love reading, but Keats, Wilde, T.S. Eliot, and Christina Rossetti (to name a few) are also big favorites. I love reading poetry, because then I get to see how poets use imagery, and then it gets me thinking about how I can get creative with my own descriptions.

Thank you so much for your ask! I hope that I answered your question--I most definitely began to ramble, so thank you for bearing with me!!

Dammit Parker - The Compilation

[watch it on youtube]

After making one of these for "Dammit Hardison", I just had to make one for Parker! As stated in the video, not all of the clips included have the full "dammit Parker" phrase, yet they were still included because it's very clear whom Eliot is referring to. Enjoy!

(ps reminder that Parker receives a "dammit" from Eliot before Hardison does! Who'd have thought!)

Making poetry my life

I have a significant collection of poetry books, which I find myself increasingly drawn to and subsumed by.

As a slight segue, right now, I'm listening to 'The Waste Land: A Biography of a Poem' by Matthew Hollis. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying both the story of the poem but all the characters that came in and out of T. S. Eliot's ("TSE") life before and after the poem was written. I also have the hardback edition of the book which has some wonderful pictures of TSE and the first editions of the book.

You might ask:

What's so special about poetry?

And I don't find that an easy question to answer, not least because some of the poems I read are or can be hard going but I never give up. Not ever. If I had to try and espouse an answer it's because it makes me see things differently. Not wispish, or ethereal but more metaphysical -- practically zen-like. Yes, that's it. I feel a cerebral quietude that means I can be lost in the reverie of a poem almost before I've started.

I realise that poetry is more than likely in the Marmite bracket of our sensibilities; namely, you either love or hate it. I can understand why that might be the case, particularly when there are so many other ways to invest our time but I remain naively optimistic that there is a poem or poet available to everyone. (It's no accident that I've used the above photo showing the work of the late Mary Oliver -- what a wonderful poet and person she was and the world is a poorer place without her in it.)

I know that my interest in poetry is not a passing fad. If I think back to my earliest years, even though my parents didn't have the slightest interest in literature, less still the poetics of their day, I've had a lifelong fascination with words of all stripes and that is at least one reason why I found and still find poetry so awe-inspiring. It's not just the words mind you; it's also the line breaks, stanzas, sounds, intonation, cadence and (in the case of Bukowkis) dry, ribald humour.

I would like to write more poetry but it's not something that's coming up at the moment but that's okay. Over time I've learned to control my urge, usually fashioned on the spur of the moment, to write and share my words which often turn out ugly, misshapen and not very good. I know I'd be much better off writing out my poetry in a longhand way and then working and reworking it.

Anyhow, as to the rubric. If I could find a way to open a poetry cafe, or pen shop with poetry as its main feature or a forum where poetry books could be swapped, shared and cherished then that wouldn't be far off my fantasy life. And before you quip 'There's still time' I'm not about to throw in the towel on the day job but I'd be lying if I don't want poetry and the whole mellifluous paradigm of the spoken word to play a bigger part in my life.

Take care.

Blessings, Ju

PS. Today I'll be doing a one-hour live poetry reading with a friend of mine. One poem that I'll be reading is Style by Charles Bukowski which is a firm favourite of mine.

"El," Margo says slowly, "out of curiosity, what did Penny tell you when he picked you up?"

"He said Q got cursed," Eliot wheezes out. "That it looked bad, and—he wouldn't give me details." When Margo only hums, he stares hard at the dark shape of her until his eyes readjust. "Why?"

"Well," Margo starts, then shrugs again instead of elaborating. "You know what, it's funnier this way. Just go."
