Their size makes them arrogant and slow.  Like their guns.  But you don’t need a gun to use gunpowder, you just need a spark.

Sometimes, a termite can take down an elephant.

Mika, to a group of greenhorn drakers, excitedly: Hunt them down! Do not stop until they are found! You don't know pain or fear! You will taste DRAKE-FLESH!!!

Greenhorns: YEEEEEAAAAH!!!!

Takita: Should we...do something?

Vannie: Leave it. He always like this when he's hungry. If it actually gets them motivated—even better!

Bodies are problematic. Think of something someone had done that's bad. Bet that person probably had a body.

Think of all the evil people like hitler stalin kissinger both bushes ayn rand phyllis schlaffely reagan barry goldwater paul ryan. They had a body huh. One of them even claimed to rage against some body but it was a tainted one without the real fire of the original. It was the fear of the body against the immaterial manifested. The bodies have been called to prepare for the old ones return their grasp is ever tightening.

I saw several people wondering how to participate in this bingo event. so this is how it goes: you look through your recs, you fill out the card, and... you post it 😉

to make this even more interesting, every author that gets tagged in a bingo card is now challenged to fill their own. I said what I said.

---

main character is a side character to fail better by orphan this is an unusual rec for me since the main character is camilla collins, and the main relationship explored here is jack/camilla. but really, I adore it because it's a rare example of an outsider pov on jack through the eyes of someone who likes him, and maybe sees more of him than he know. there's something very sad about jack at this point of his story, but his and canilla's awkward attempts to make something real of what they almost have are really endearing. plus: even if jack didn't fall in love with camilla, I definitely did.

still a WIP Increasing Engagement by always1895 I have a problem of hoarding WIPs and occasionally checking on them like I'm waiting for them to return from the war. this is one of those WIPs. there are two things I can never turn down, and those are social media fics and an enemies to lovers arc. just know my ass is sat down for whenever this fic is finished, and yours should be too. (*) if anyone knows the author's tumblr handle, please tag them!

short fic Patient as Pie by @edgarallanrose no fluff hits quite as hard as zimbits fluff. this short fic has jack being needy and affectionate and domestic, and it just makes me warm and gooey inside whenever I read it. which, you know, is often.

inspired you to write Two Things Only by @thewesternredcedar I'm going old school with this one, because whenever I think of a fic that inspires me I think of the summer I read this fic six times to get through my own fic. this may be in my top ten favorite fics of all time. it has endless amounts of pining, hilarity, silliness, and to top it all off, it's set during my favorite time to read about: right after graduation and before Y3. it does such a good job of nailing that jack and bitty essence that I just can't help coming back to it for inspiration.

bookmarked recently (...ish) say my name (and call me a liar) by @weneedtotalkaboutfic it may be cheating to rec a fic that was written for you, but uh, I don't care. this fic just hits all the right spots. it's smart, it's funny, it's mysterious, it's sexy, it's emotional. it has both super slow-burn and whatever the opposite of that is, thanks to a wonderful two-person-love-triangle. and if that's not enough, the real star of this fic is jack zimmermann and the journey of his sexuality and his happiness, which just blew me away.

BONUS: canon divergence But this place still stands, this place remains unchanged by @doggernaut I already have my bingo but I have more to rec, so. this fic is a really fun glimpse into a future that could've been, and it's supported by a wonderful ensemble cast (of both canon characters and realistic-feeling OCs). this fic made me laugh out loud and clutch my chest, and even though I knew where the story is headed, I couldn't wait to arrive there with it.

BONUS: isn't on AO3 lighthouse au by @appalamutte this is one of those tumblr snippets I wish I could will into becoming a full fic. just that one scene, along with the bonus background, made me fall instantly in love. historical au's can be hit or miss for me, but this was so unique and so intriguing, and (as already established) I can't resist a good enemies to lovers action.

BONUS: FREE here you come again by @ivecarvedawoodenheart honestly, no one rips my heart out of my chest quite like syd does. the first time I read this I was too emotional to think thoughts, but the second (and third, and fourth) I was just like: tell me everything about this. immediately. the phrasing lives in my head rent free? this short fic literally does.

Propaganda for George IV: Prinny hated Napoleon too! Prinny hated Napoleon so much he kept his father's Tory government instead of bringing in the Whigs who would have ended the war in 1812. Prinny made his maiden speech in the House of Lords wearing pink high heels and spangles. Did Madame de Staël throw a banquet with a stream full of live fish running down the table? Did she design her own clothes? Did she remodel London and turn Buck House into Buckingham Palace? How many beautiful public parks did she create? Prinny cared so much about fashion he once bought thirty-two walking sticks in one day! He made kilts cool again. He once wore so many rings he couldn’t sign papers. He played the cello. Madame de Staël? Boring. You like the Lawrence portraits of the heads of the coalition forces? You like the fact that Wellington had a giant statue of Napoleon in his hall? You like high cravats? Lover's eye miniatures? You like parties and bling? You like fun? Vote for George IV!

Nandor's motivational speech to rally the housemates to work together was actually really fucking sweet. They were all ready to bail and leave each other behind, but Nandor finally stepped up as leader of the household and convinced them they to stick together. and it worked, their plan actually worked because they're all better together ToT

IF THIS BITCH HURTS MY BOY I AM THROWING HANDS

[true-blue-sonic]

I think it's been talked about here before what would happen if one day Silver were to just inexplicably become hollow and emotionless, but what if Espio were the one that it happened to instead? He's already not as loud with his emotions as Silver is, so it'd be an a lot more subtle change to notice, but if anyone were to pick up on it then it definitely would be Silver.

I'm curious what would be the cause of it, but I do think Espio is a bit more... pessimistic, perhaps is the best term, compared to Silver. Definitely more grounded in realism! At least, I don't recall him having a very optimistic, hopeful attitude to his person: he's more focused around ruthlessness and his 'militaristic discipline', as one bio apparently described him as having. But he is indeed not as explicit about what he is feeling, at least not when it isn't related to ninja stuff or his training and such things. Thus, it might be hard for others to really notice any shifts in his personality at first, other than the fact he's even more reclusive than usual. I think Vector and Charmy would also come in and notice something is amiss, though! They're his closest friends by far, they definitely know him best. But I'm thinking of ShTH and Vector's all-but-atrocious attempts at trying to cheer up a distraught Shadow, so... And Charmy's more fun-loving and a bit ditzy, so actually tackling whatever is plaguing Espio might not be their strongest suit. I think Silver could actually be a good help here, because he does have that optimistic and hopeful attitude on his person. Combined with the burning fire inside him and his extremely strong desires to help others, I think he'll be able to get Espio out of his funk again.

Why do you think Link omitted "fruity" when he said he was all those things and listed them? (in manchego cheese)

I felt like at first he was trying to get someone into acknowledge Rhett calling him fruity but then no one would, so he just shied away from it. Boy is so damn obvious though lmaooo.
