Who would win in a fight, Sasha Rackett or Melanie King?

Sasha Racket by a massive margin. Now, if you asked me who would be the fastest at cutting out Melanie's eyes?

That would be a close one.

Right so what if I disappear from tumblr for months and then come back and post an uncoloured Cel and then disappear again? And repeat that forever? Would that be alright?

🩵 @slaycults sent 01 for quil . a protective starter !!

he  knew  kenichi  was  a  skilled  fighter.  he’d  witnessed  it  countless  times  on  their  journey —each  swing  of  the  sword  calculated,  each  enemy  falling  with  a  grim  finality.  and  yet,  this  undead  companion  preferred  to  linger  in  the  shadows,  doing  as  little  as  possible  while  others  did  the  heavy  lifting.  from  his  hidden  perch,  he  would  nod  in  silent  approval  when  kenichi’s  blade  struck  true  and  click  his  tongue  when  the  kill  got  too  messy.  it  had  become  almost  a  game,  silently  grading  each  death  with  the  dispassion  of  a  connoisseur.

when  he  noticed  the  army  of  goblins  closing  in  from  the  distance,  he  didn’t  even  blink.  Instead,  he  waved  a  hand  as  if  swatting  away  an  insect,  returning  to  the  task  of  polishing  his  lute.  every  now  and  then,  he’d  glance  up—just  to  check  if  kenichi  might  need  a  hand  or  if  there  was  any  loot  worth  claiming.

the  shadows  were  his  refuge,  a  place  where  he  could  have  easily  stayed  until  the  chaos  subsided.  but  when  a  goblin,  small  and  foolish,  dared  to  climb  onto  kenichi  and  tangle  its  grubby  fingers  in  his  hair,  something  inside  him  snapped.

no  one  should  mess  with  a  man’s  hair.  especially  not  when  he  hadn’t  even  had  the  chance  to  climb  on  kenichi  himself.  why  should  a  goblin  get  the  first  crack  at  it?

without  a  second  thought,  he  emerged  from  the  shadows,  daggers  already  in  hand.  with  a  flick  of  his  wrist,  one  dagger  flew  straight  into  the  goblin’s  face,  ending  its  brief  moment  of  triumph.

“what?  i  had  to  protect  the  hair,”  he  said,  with  an  innocence  that  didn’t  quite  match  the  precision  of  his  throw.  as  the  battle  raged  on,  he  ensured  that  not  a  single  goblin  laid  a  finger  on  kenichi.

when  the  last  goblin  fell,  he  turned  to  kenichi,  a  hint  of  exasperation  in  his  voice.  “mext  time,  think  with  your  head,  not  just  your  sword!  you  could  have—”  he  paused,  catching  himself,  “we  could  have  died!”

sender kills someone to protect receiver / everest @ quile, perhaps? 👀 could be cool

   quile  should  know  better  than  to  be  out  late  at  night  -  despite  that  being  the  time  her  family  prefers  to  be  most  active.  it's  far  safer  in  the  woods  than  it  is  the  small  town  -  and  it's  why  she'd  ran  to  the  woods  with  a  man  chasing  her.  god  forbid  she  have  a  night  to  herself  to  wander  aimlessly  and  enjoy  the  cold,  calm  night.  she  always  loved  it  -  but  so  did  those  with  less  than  kind  intentions. 

   she  hedges  her  bets  on  knowing  the  forest  better  than  her  pursuer.  she  would  have  been  correct  in  that  -  were  it  not  for  the  fact  his  life  was  forfeit  the  moment  he  stepped  into  these  woods.  they  were  far  from  alone,  and  from  her  fear  alone;  she  should  have  expected  this  would  happen. 

   there's  a  twinge  of  guilt  as  she  walks  up  to  the  scene.  not  for  the  man  -  but  for  her  friend  who  committed  the  killing.  should  have  never  had  to  go  out  of  his  way.  maybe  she's  a  little  too  soft  -  it  always  breaks  her  heart  just  that  little  bit.  i  should  be  able  to  take  better  care  of  myself  so  i  don't  burden  you. 

   “are  you  alright?”  her  concern  is  solely  for  him,  ignoring  the  carcass  on  the  ground.  “you  know  you  never  have  to  go  out  of  your  way  for  me,  right?”  there's  the  guilt.  but  she  gives  a  smile  anyway.  “even  so…  thank  you.”  she  expresses  her  gratitude  with  genuine  relief.  “i…”  she  pauses,  and  then  softly  sighs.  “sometimes  humans  are  the  most  terrifying  thing.”  she  furrows  her  brow.  “their  lack  of  care  and  understanding…  i'll  never  quite  understand  it.”

what does it say about me that many-eyed fitz was the first post reblogged to both @/kotlc-heritage-posts AND @/the-cursed-kotlc-louvre

hey Marz why did Arctus want your wings. are they magical ingredients, I imagine? if so, what are they used for?

in-depth opinions on keefe (trying to return you to your roots: getting asks about kotlc characters)?

I may be putting several additional feet in several additional fandoms but I promise y'all have me prisoner and can send me as many keeper asks as you want <3

I will say these are my personal, subjective opinions! Which do include a bit of bias (TLDR at bottom)

For years I was perfectly fine with Keefe; he's never been my favorite, but he had some funny lines and an engaging presence. Never failed to liven things up. This changed around end of Legacy/Stellarlune.

It's not because I don't ship sokeefe, but because I felt sokeefe's execution was rushed and overshadowing the rest of the story. Wasn't even a full book since Sophie broke up with Fitz and said she wasn't ready for a relationship, yet there they are. I think they, and we, deserved more time. (and yes, Keefe exists beyond shipping, but given how HUGE of a role it plays in his in-text and fandom presence, i find it relevant)

Of course that's not Keefe's fault, but seeing all the adoration for what I found lackluster kinda pavloved me into a general distaste. Especially when done at the expense at Fitz, one of my favorites. Which is unfair, but I did say there's bias. That's not to say I'm mid on Keefe because I love Fitz or that you can't love both, just that personally I'm a Fitz fan, and seeing Keefe used as a direct comparison to shoot him down doesn't endear him to me (and no, not everybody does this, but I've seen it enough to be impacted)

As for Keefe independently, he's following the path of Ro. Too many traits are staying stagnant and becoming repetitive, which is adulterating what I used to enjoy. The way he steamrolls everything--forcing hands to go to Ravagog in Neverseen, running away in Lodestar and refusing to listen, the mercadir incident in Nightfall, the going behind everyone's back thing in Legacy, the running away again, etc. At first it was annoying but interesting, but at this point it's like...we're still doing this?

The amount of time and effort Sophie has to expend managing Keefe is ridiculous. if we could just knock him out for like 2 months I think she could fix everything. it's gone from a facet of the plot's challenges to straight up nuisance like get tf out of her way !!

Others have mentioned this, but the privacy invasion and making others uncomfortable is another thing that I didn't mind at first but became annoying. A joke or overstep here or there is fine; no one's perfect, and if it moves the story forward, sure. But he's constantly pushing and isn't sorry. And the more it happens, the less I can stand the earlier instances. I do my pagethroughs and just get annoyed where I used to laugh

Is there an understandable explanation for several of these points? yes. how the hell would he know how to have healthy relationships and boundaries when he's been set such bad examples? However, he's also being consistently corrected and ignoring that advice. He's given pep talk after pep talk, has fight after fight, and yet nothing's changed.

Do I think he's beyond saving? No. I've spoken with a few people about this, but I think a key thing holding him back is Sophie's "I could never hate you" promise she keeps making. Because Sophie is the main (if not only) thing that matters to him, he's got a built in safety net for whatever stupid shit he pulls, and never faces the consequences he's really afraid of.

If we took that net away, if he faced her genuine distrust and anger and upset and her exclusion and her hatred--without the "but not really just give me some time" vibe. I think that'd do wonders and we'd actually get somewhere. And also it'd be vindicating to see; the nightfall healing center fight is one of my favorite scenes

TL;DR: In summary, I don't hate Keefe. He has potential and I've enjoyed him in the past. But currently the combination of him being used against Fitz, the lackluster execution of sokeefe (imo), the privacy invasion, and stagnation don't do it for me. His kind of character already isn't my niche, and that doesn't help. Does he have potential to become less annoying? yes! i hope he does for everyone's sakes. until then, mild distaste for him.

i will be taking Fitz, Tam, Cadence, and Luzia and playing in the corner, thanks <3

(this is in no way against Keefe fans. kudos to y'all! i'm simply not one of you atm)

How would you imagine a wolf pack birthday

omg idl love to do a whole post for each character someday but I’ll try to keep it to a paragraph right now I imagine that birthdays were hard for Emrby when he was younger, it was always hard to forget that his dad wasn’t around, so Quil and Jacob always went all out for his birthdays. Not just presents, but they would spend the whole day with him, goofing around on the beach and chasing each other on their bikes. Every year, Jared throws a huge party for his birthday. It was impossible to forget that the day was approaching, he built up the excitement for at least two weeks. There was a different theme every year, starting with spiderman when he was twelve. Other notable themes have been: Space, 70′s, and “pink”. For his birthday, Quil’s mom and grandfather always take him out to breakfast. After he joins the pack, they start the tradition of present scavenger hunts in the woods, with them hiding the presents in the woods in their human forms, and Quil searching for them as a wolf. Paul used to not make a big deal about birthdays before he joined the pack; his human friends would get together for cake but that was about it. He never took much stock in aging every year. But after he shifts, he takes every birthday very seriously. Having his aging tied to his shifting abilities is a big deal.

❛ you are mine, whether you agree or not. ❜ said quil

THE VAMPIRE ELF put the sewing needle away, vermillion gaze immediately averted to the other undead. It was vexing enough that he was thus abruptly snatched from his hobby, in the short time they got between fights, when he really enjoyed his books and embroidery, but now he's being forced into some sorts of relationship?

" Not that again.. Did you really think that I was to become yours, after one single night together? Oh, my darling, the sex wasn't as good as to make me want to succumb ." The rogue high elf snided. " If I have to go through with all of it again, I choose death. Pray, kill me now, at least I'll be having some fun this time. ''

Non-Sexual Acts of Dominance ---- Answering for @theseunfinishedlives

If anyone else had thought to question why Quil was hanging around in the woods by the Cullen's house, no one had thought to question him. Quil knew that at first, with everything happening between Bella, Jacob and Edward that most of the wolves didn't come near here, knew that they couldn't without upsetting the agreement that had been in place for longer than Quil had been alive. But... he had started to consider Bella a friend, during her time of hanging out with Jacob, watching them rebuild the bikes. That was why, when things had calmed down, he had reached out, wanting to be friends again. He had been surprised when she agreed, even more surprised when she had brought a book she wanted him to hear a passage from. Not that he minded, it was one of the things they had in common. He was laying on the grass, hands pillowing his head where it rested against the grass, simply enjoying the sound of her reading.
