Author Highlight

@emmanuellececchi and Ceema on AO3

I love how she writes! It gets to the core of the character's insecurities and their humanity.

My favourite line of hers has to be this one

He was stalling the time when he would escape

-from Two of a Kind

Now if this doesn’t just get to the core of Loki, on multiple levels! It puts in perspective exactly what escape means for Loki, why he’s always chasing after freedom and grandness. Spoiler alert, it’s not because he’s a narcissist (even though he does have some of the personality).

The two fics I read (and thoroughly enjoyed):

Two of a Kind

Loki/Sif, teen and up; almost 23,000 words, 12 chapters

Sometimes, a moment in the past of two people can impact on their life, long after it had happened.

When long buried feelings resurface, Sif and Loki are forced to consider that they may have misunderstood each other.

It has to be Elves

Loki/Sif, mature, 5,500 words

Sif and Loki have to spend some time together to resolve a mystery on Midgard.

Sif and Loki are sent to Midgard to investigate a possible Elf problem, and have to come to terms with a few things. Mixes feelings, chocolate and forced proximity, for our appreciation!

I haven’t taken the time to read her Final Fantasy stuff yet, but if it’s even half as good as what I’ve read so far, then I highly recommend them! Here’s the link

I am still figuring out how I want to present and format these, I am happy to receive suggestions for it! And please forgive me if I change it in the future

These are my dividers, please do not use them.

Hello, jon

[anouchard]

So, there we have it!

Season One is complete (well ... ish). I've had an absolute riot playing Gwen, and it's been so lovely seeing your reactions every week.

To you: thank you for being the most enthusiastic, engaged, and earnest fandom I have ever encountered. Y'all are an absolute JOY.

To the entire team at RQ, to my gorgeous castmates, and to every single writer who worked on this one: thank you, and congratulations.

And to Gwendolyn Bouchard? Well ... Good Luck, Babe!

TMAGP 19

Hey y'all, Just thought I would try something this week and give a couple of thoughts on today's episode. (I might do it again in future, I might not, let's see.) Personal Thoughts: I have to admit I was nervous about this one. I have taken lead researching the historical elements of Protocol and part of me is always terrified that someone will drop me a line and be like "FYI this makes no sense" and then I realise they are right. That said, I have checked and double checked though so it's probably fine right? Also frankly I didn't really have to make that much stuff up. History in this period is absolutely bananas. Fun fact for this episode: The Gilded Gallows. Look it up. Backstage insight: I don't deliberately keep including Newton in my work. The guy just has a lot of links to him on Wikipedia y'know? Also I super enjoy writing old-timey. Further Reading: If you are interested in the topics I recommend the following (on the understanding that they do not contain secrets for the show or anything I just think they are good): 1) Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood 2) Outliers Podcast S2E1 Crack of Thunder by Gabrielle Urbina of Wolf359 fame 3) The Ritman Library in Amsterdam

me when any media even tangentially related to jonny sims

[ashisinsuperhell]

saw a post about it but lost it

anyway the main difference between "statements" in tma and tmagp is that in tma the people were scared, even those who later became avatars or were serving the fears. that was the theme - fear. but in protocol so far we only had people somewhat embracing those fears. and idk if it's because the fears are so different here maybe they're not even truly fears maybe they don't feast on terror. or maybe we're just seeing people we never got to see in tma, especially in episode 2. we wouldn't get a statement from Daria but rather those that came in contact with her.

QUICK REDRAW!! AAA(blown up by exams)

[bizarrelittlemew]

every time i see "Ed asks Lucius to write down his lyrics" used as an argument for claiming that Ed can't write i just want to. you know. point out that Stede has Lucius write down everything he says?? and does?? all the time?? and when he can't find Lucius he asks Frenchie (who actually cannot write) to do it instead of just writing it himself. and we know Stede can write. it's got nothing to do with ability to write, just that the captains don't seem to want to write stuff themselves when they have an employee whose job is to do that exact thing for them

hi rqg people i am once again late to the party

[wackachewbacca]

I thought that the Lockwood and Co. fandom was pretty small here on this site but then I see Quill Kipps wiping the floor on the tumblr favorite character bracket and suddenly I have to reconsider my worldview

[jontaro-kun]

Whoops I tripped and my hand slipped and all of a sudden this Sonamy art just kinda spawned outta nowhere haha that's crazy

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it this is almost entirely inspired by a specific Slowed & Reverbed rendition of Ariana Grande's "Into You" and 90% of it just came from the gif they used for the chorus vdsbfvjhkbfdv

I saw it and thought "Okay how can I make this about Sonic. Hm. This song feels Sonamy-coded, and Sonic feels like the type of guy to give a girl a motorcycle ride but like romantically. Oh but he doesn't have a motorcycle. That's, like, Shadow's thing. He has a hoverboard though. And letting someone else ride with him on a hoverboard would arguably be even more dangerous than on a motorcycle...so it's right up his alley." all in the span of like 2 seconds.

Of course this also meant I needed to finally design my own Amy, usually when other artists draw her they choose one of 3 options: they draw her normally, they give her long hair, or they give her Sonic's hair; as you can see I couldn't make that choice

So why am I yapping so much about all this? Idk I just think it's neat hdbfsvjhbhvbd

Behold: our unstoppable protagonist!

Happy birthday, @yourdragonisinanothercastle! Have a Yoo Joonghyuk, Biyoo and Uriel! Careful, they are deadly.

(Inspired by early chapters of Retrouvailles, an Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint fanfic by WindsOfTime.)

the day ppl stop using "narcissist" as a synonym for "bad person" is the day i can rest in peace

[incorrectlco]

Just finished the first book and I’ll have more coherent thoughts later, but first…

Lockwood and Kipps’ beef being due to 12yo Lockwood beating Kipps at a fencing tournament and stabbing him in the ass is canon????

Dead ass, 100%, thought that was fanon. I thought no way that’s real. No way that an grown ass adult has a beef with a child over that.

I have never been more delighted to be wrong.

God, I love Kipps.

[batrogers]

Ganondorf and Link sign their marriage contract. Was playing with jewellery and outfits; Link's hair is dyed with henna to be red like that. I also headcanon he didn't learn how to write until he was a teenager, so he's still very shy about his handwriting... especially on a document meant to be displayed.

Ganondorf won't have him downplay how much it means that he could do it himself at all.
