rook qotd: what is your rook's worst nightmare?

[lucanis-little-crow]

#RQotD What bad habits does your Rook have?

While she always promotes healthy communications between her friends and companions, Aurora has the bad habit to keep her personal problems to herself, unable to open up.

[fear-and-lothering]

Question for other peoples rooks (Reblog with responses would love to read about others rooks) How do you think *your* rook's cooking is? How often are they in the cooking location or are they forbidden from the kitchen? If they do cook what foods do they usually make (putting mine under the cut)

Altier Mecar - Nothing fancy learned to cook spending a lot of time at home, as was sheltered from going out much, so mom's kitchen helper who can reach all the high shelves. Lots of comfort foods/cheesy foods. When he transitioned/working out more to get comfortable in his body lots of meaty/high protein things. So cooks that out of habit In the regular rotation, and neve likes having the comfort food. He does try to learn from Bellara to make some of Davrin's nostalgic foods too Oswin Thorne - Got pulled into rotation, and most of his food is 'what i can kill and cook, rations, and gruel. (He also willingly eats harding's food 'it sure tastes more then I can say about gruel) 'He doesn't cook unless it's last resort, but does make some good roast boar out in the field' Nyxie De Riva - 'you mix a *minor* poison into food once, because you're using stuff you brought from house De Riva and *no one* lets you cook again'. "Also ignore the time I tried to use veilfire to make rotisserie chicken' "I think lighting is a valid form of heating, you all are just behind the curve, emmrich has skeletons help cook!!! Magic is a tool' Removed from the kitchen forever Jackdaw Ingellvar - They cook alright! Mostly vegetarian dishes (He's mainly pescatarian personally so will eat fish). The main issue is they tend to cook thinks with an 'acquired taste' Or things from *very old* cook books they've found (see jello salad type foods or things with insect meal)

Kinda a 'eh we'll *try* but Lucanis please have a backup , very hit and miss some's a crowd fave others 'well i tried'

hi! sorry, i just wanted to come in and say that whenever you answer one of my rook qotds it is a delight :)! your characters are very thoughtfully crafted and your answers for them are a joy to read. (also, gorgeous formatting. love the little dividers for each of them!)

Hey what if I cry

Also THAAANK YOU and thank you for putting questions out for Rooks in the first place! They're so much fun to ponder and a lot of these things only appear obvious to consider but then I'm hit with a "HEY I never thought to consider that before" so <3 ty!

more pawn guild qotds from here

What were your Arisen & Pawns first impressions of one another?

For Reverie, it was immediate relief. She didn't have any idea what she was doing when she was told to summon a pawn, just a vague sense of trust that 'they' would be there - and he was! There was a feeling of not-quite recognition, like his presence just soothed her worries immediately so she trusted and relied on him implicitly from the word go. And in perfect mirror fashion, Rann's was similarly 'relief'. A sense of "I've finally found you", and that resolute determination to protect and help guide her well in her duty, no matter what. Everything just felt aligned, like it made perfect sense, (even if his memories were still technically somewhat scrambled). And then on the flip side we have Olivia and Emrys... In my canon Olivia never met Rook ( sorry bro), but instead met Emrys at the excavation site and being still pretty newly amnesia-cursed, it's actually him that approaches her first and he... well. Big mixed feelings there. He recognizes on some level that he's being controlled by the godsway, and very bitterly recognizes the Arisen and that she might be the only one who could get him out of this no good very bad situation. So he approaches and tries to get a bead on what is even going on with her, and... regrettably finds himself almost unconsciously compelled by her. She's clueless and one step up from a potato with legs at this point, but she's also got this fire in her eyes and instinctive stubbornness that had her defying the overseers and defending the pawns. He's in sheer and complete denial about it, and latches on to his bitterness like a lifeline, but he's impossibly locked in on her. So back to Olivia, this guy comes around and is ostensibly pretty nice and helps her sorta-kinda make sense of things - enough to really recognize just how fucked up their situation is, so she thinks yeah, (perhaps not in so many words) that he must be trustworthy and we're friends now, bosom companions, together in this struggle. Plus like her, he's a little different from 'all of the other pawns' there, so that just adds to a feeling of camaraderie - except she thinks we've gotta save everyone now and Em is more like uhhh maybe we should take care of ourselves first and.... come back for everyone else later?

"You are like a living rose among wax flowers. We may last forever, but you bloom brighter and smell sweeter, and draw blood with your thorns.” ― @margaret_rogerson, An Enchantment of Ravens . 🍂 If you didn’t know, I have a soft spot for faerie fantasy and standalone novels so I knew I would most likely love An Enchantment of Ravens, and it did not disappoint! I really loved the world (total ACOTAR vibes!) and the two main characters, Isobel and Rook. There was so much packed into this book considering it’s only 300 pages long. I definitely recommend if you love a good faerie fantasy. . 🍂 Full review up on Goodreads. Link is in the bio! . 🍂 I have an arc of Sorcery of Thorns that I need to get to. After reading this, I can’t wait to dive in! . 🍂 #QOTD: Do you prefer series or standalone book? I prefer standalone or shorter series like duologies and trilogies. I’m not good with anticipation! 😆 . . #bookstagram #bookreview #faerie #faeriefantasy #fantasybooks #anenchantmentofravens #currentlyreading #weekendreading #margaretrogerson #yafantasy #yafiction #ireadya #yalit #beautybookcorner https://www.instagram.com/p/BwP7vfDHYod/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4qbgq997leux

“Even Camilla?” Rook tried, flashing Esther his winningest smile. The doughy sweet roll of a woman before him was unmoved. “She’ll poison your tea and smile while she does it.” “I believe it." Chapter 18, Into the Fire. ❓ #QOTD - What's a non-book item you've been inspired to buy while Instagramming? The moment I saw this fabulous teacup on @abibliophilesstyle 's feed, I about lost my mind. One day, I hope to serve an unwitting guest tea in this cup, sans any actual poison... probably 😉 😈. . If you didn't see my giveaway post yesterday, there's that. And I'm getting close to the end of the first edit pass on my #CurrentWIP . WOOTLES!!! There's still a lot to clean up, but I can start to see the end of this step and the beginning of the next. . . . . . #author #authorsofhinstagram #steampunk #books #booksarelife #booksaremagic #bookstagram #bookstagramcommunity #bookstagrammer #fantasy #yasteampunk #steampunkfantasy #indieauthor #read #reading #writer #writerscommunity #writerslife #writersofinstagram #writersofig #yabooks #yalit #yaseries #steampunkbooks #steampunkbookseries #youngadultsteampunk #steampunkbook #steampunklove
