This one by @storm-elf which:

- is the single most gripping fic I've ever read with multiple plotlines all winding together in a way that is so satisfying you cannot put it down

- is a beautifully nuanced portrayal of polyamory where every character's feelings and mindset are wonderfully developed over time

- has the most authentic depiction of complex trauma I have ever seen in fic, presented realistically and without woobifying or demonizing the traumatized character(s). they're all so believably human

- has characterization that is so complex and multifaceted (even though the show it's written for has quite a sizeable cast) in which every single character is allowed to grow and mature through challenging character arcs

like seriously if you want to read a fic that will literally replace the original media as canon in your head read this one. this is The Fic.

fuck it everyone tell me about one fanfic which has changed your brain chemistry

If I had a nickel for every time I met a queer, sassy, secretly royal privateer with a tragic backstory and a god awful older brother, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

This is gonna piss some people off but I’m going to say it

The most toxic fandom I have every encountered is the Grishaverse: specifically the Six of Crows fandom

I am a die heart fan of the Grishaverse books. I admittedly enjoy shadow and bone more than the six of crows duology but when I first t read those books I was consumed.

I loved the characters the storyline everything. I loved both and I didn’t see the problem in that. I enjoyed the fandom for a while but everywhere I went people were always pitting characters and books against eachother.

I understand that for a large part people enjoy the duology more I get that. It’s more popular and more widely enjoyed and I have no problem with that, I enjoy those books as well.

But for some reason the duology fans shove it down the fandoms throats. The amount of hate and mock towards the grisha trilogy took me back. People saying how poorly written and awful they are (which I have analyzed this text to death and it is both true and false, every argument has its points and the same can be said for six of crows - but their usually not talking about actual analysis they just don’t enjoy the plot as much)

However the degree it was shit on made me feel guilty for liking it, I thought that I was wrong for enjoying it, and while yes the plot and world may not be as coherent, it does still have very good writing, and the duology suffers from similar problems.

But the amount that the fandom hates on all of the characters!!! It’s insane.

Not only that but people being like “it’s so boring it’s awful I hate it.” You have your opinion you can express it I understand this but when there are literally people who dnfs the first book and then try to go argue with people about the storylines and characters about who they are. NO you don’t get to do that. You have Tory option to a degree but at some point it becomes house.

The amount of sheer hate for the characters and ships and the fans of those characters and ships is actually insane! I’ve seen death threats against Darklina fans. Like what the actual fuck.

As for fans of the main trilogy is a 50/50. I would say a predominant part of the fandom is either pro darkling or Darklina, or they love the books but are also accepting of it faults - like me.

I actually can’t remember the last time I saw someone post something about likening l Mal or that Alina had a happy ending or anything positive from a different point of view. Everytime someone with a conflicting view point posts something it’s never a positive it’s always just saying how “wrong” that side of the fandom is or how “toxic” they are or just hating and tearing them down.

(I feel like most the people who did enjoy the main trilogy and it on this side of the view have now focused on the RoW duology because it’s more accepted to like it and everything been so retconned)

But back to SoC fans the absolute god-complex-ego the fans of this duology have about these books and its characters are insane.

And honestly it makes me sad because it’s made me enjoy the books and characters less.

I really loved them and now everytime I see anything about them it just leaves me anxious with a bad taste in my mouth.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Fandoms are a place where all people who enjoy something can come together and discuss it. Whether you have varying views is irrelevant. But the key point is that you enjoy it.

I have to keep this in mind whenever I’m in a fandom and I see someone post something that I incredibly disagree with. And I have a habit of loving unpopular characters so I see a lot of hate in the fandoms for them. I remember that this is their option and I have my own.

I’m not trying to say if you dislike something you can’t or shouldn’t talk about it just that this is a really good example of how turned off people can become by a fandom. the gatekeeping, the toxic hate, again mostly from the crows fans but also from the grishaverse as a whole.

This is also NOT me hating on the SoC duology or is characters I like them I like the books I just have to separate them from the fandom which at times is hard.

I love the grishaverse, and admittedly i am a Darkling fan, I enjoy his character as I think its one of the best written ones in the Grishaverse.

The things told to me just for enjoying a book and a fictitious character and the things I see people say to others is absolutely horrifying.

as much as i enjoy these books (and am willing to admit their faults) their are very few people's posts I follow and read within the fandom because of this.

Again I know SO MANY people are gonna come after me for this post. Predominately the last three paragraphs but it is what it is - and it’s the truth.

Throwback to when I edited this picture because of the quote “you’ve been on a safari when?”

[byndebondry]

“You shouldn’t make friends with crows,” he’d told her.

“Why not?” she asked.

He’d looked up from his desk to answer, but whatever he’d been about to say had vanished on his tongue.

an - i’m enjoying these little drabbles (hello 👽!)

——————————

Sabrina whined softly in your ear, her warm breath fanning out over your bruised shoulder that she was previously biting. She was seated in your lap, her cunt stretched around your cock while you ran your hands along her almost naked body.

Earlier, she had expressed her sexual frustrations to you, saying she had been horny all day and wanted to ride your dick till the day she dies, but you had other plans for her. Once you were back in your apartment, you had made sure to give her no time to think before ruining her; bending her over your couch and giving her the best back shots of her life before ending up where you were now.

Soon she was all fucked out, dumb and drooling against your shoulder while she was stuffed with your cock. Your favorite movie was playing in the background, a few chuckles leaving you here and there when something amusing happened, but other than that you were both still.

“Still doing okay, love?” You asked, gently running your fingers through her thick locks.

The blonde nodded, pressing her face into your shirt to suppress her pants. You patted her lower back to soothe her, kissing the shell of her ear as you carefully readjusted. She gasped erotically, scratching her nails along your back from the movement.

“Fuck baby…it’s like you’re trying to tease me.” Sabrina groaned, clutching you a little tighter as you pushed her hips down.

“Wasn’t my intention, gorgeous.” You replied, running your fingertips up her spine.

She placed her hands on your shoulders, shakily pushing herself upright until she was face to face with you. Her blue eyes were hazy and tear filled, threatening to spill out and ruin her pristine makeup. There were teeth marks on her lips, probably from when you were nailing her against the couch, and her cheeks were flushed a dark blush that oddly made her look a little flustered.

She met your gaze, a small smile appearing on her features before she sat back fully onto you. The air was pushed out of her throat, a breathy exhale that had your heart throbbing aggressively.

“Oh my god…” She breathed , subtly rolling her hips, “You feel so good baby…”

You moaned softly, running your thumbs along her hip bone. Her skin was warm under your touch, radiating heat from her pent up pleasure. You pushed the oversized t-shirt she had on up her torso, revealing her toned abdomen glistening in the lamp light. The muscles in her stomach flexed with each rock of her hips, and a noticeable bulge appeared every time she rolled backwards. Your eyes widened slightly from the view, especially when Sabrina took the hem of her shirt from you, pulling it up even more to expose her breasts.

“Like what you see?” She purred, one hand reaching up to fondle her own nipple, “All yours to look at, baby.”

“Hm, yeah?” You quipped back, settling back into the pillows of the couch, “Wanna give me a show beautiful?”

She responded with a small “hmm” before raising her hips slightly and dropping back down. She fell into an easy rhythm, expertly moving her body in such a way that was almost artistic to her own. Her head fell back, giving you full access to her body in front of you. You moved to reach for her chest, but she quickly grabbed your wrist and replaced it at her hip.

“Look, don’t touch.” She growled, meeting your surprised gaze, “You had your control, now I get mine.”

You nodded, returning to your relaxed posture. Sabrina smiled, leaning down and capturing your lips in a heated kiss. She grinded her hips against yours, humming in satisfaction when you groaned from the pleasure. Her velvety walls were tight around you, squeezing in all the right places and at all the right times.

“Couldn’t make it any harder for me, Sab.” You grunted, now panting along side her, “You have no idea how bad I want to touch you.”

“Oh fuck…just like that baby…” She moaned, letting her composure crack slightly when you accidentally bucked your hips up.

You gasped when she started to roll in a peculiar way, her lips moving as if she was mouthing words. You soon realized she was spelling with her hips, different words and phrases that made your eyes roll from the stimulation.

“That good, babe?” She questioned, her hands now squeezing her breasts with each movement, “Jesus H Christ…you’re so bIG!”

She cut herself off with a squeal, her eyes rolling when she turned her hips slightly to the side. She froze on that position, gently rocking her hips around with pitiful whimpers. You watched in pure awe, smiling in an almost drunk-like state while she worked.

“Found the good spot, huh.” You sighed, squeezing the fat of her ass when she moaned in response, “Doing such a good job, baby.”

“Mmph~.” Sabrina mewled, and you felt a gush of wetness cover your length.

“Oh, love.” You cooed, letting her fall into your chest, “I’ve got you.”

She moaned softly as you laid back full against the cushions, settling into your warmth when you ran your hands along her legs. You pressed a few kisses to her hair, nuzzling your nose into her with a gentle hum. She smelled like home, her pheromones invading your senses quite quickly as her body relaxed.

“Do you want me out?” You asked, reaching down to pat her lower back, “Or stay in?”

“In.” Sabrina mumbled, locking her knees on both sides of your waist.

You chuckled, replying with a quiet “Okay” before pulling a blanket off of the side of the couch and over both of your spent bodies. The movie was still playing on the tv, and with how exhausted she was, Sabrina fell right asleep in your arms.

How perfect.

wylan and the other crows

[lynsstrange]

a list of some of the horrible things jan van eck did that get forgotten:

Proudly fessed up to beating Wylan when he was a child as a method to get him to read

Married a teenager TWO YEARS OLDER than his sixteen year old son and got her pregnant

Watched unfazed as Wylan got tortured by gang members in front of him (not that he literally hasn’t tried to have Wylan killed several times but I feel this takes a certain kind of evil)

Put his wife in a mental institution because she gave him a son who couldn’t read

Kidnapped a sixteen year old girl and tried to break her legs with a mallet so it’d induce as much pain as possible (who the fuck does this)

[incorrect-soc]

Tell me...

... I'm wrong

[millaniumcat]

I just love how you can randomly pick two of the crows, and their duo dynamic is iconic and unique and amazing. And it doesn't matter who you pick.
