meaningful phrases for characters

What would be a phrase/sentence that you would connect to a character, that another character would use to describe them in a meaningful way? (I know this makes very little sense the way I just worded this, so let me try to give an example)

Ragnor, about Magnus: "He wants to be needed, but he needs to be wanted."

Title: Ave Atque Vale

Fandoms: Shadowhunters (TV), Hunger Games AU

Warnings: Rated E. Canon-typical violence, one Mild Dubcon scene

Relationships: Alec Lightwood x Magnus Bane, Maryse Lightwood x Luke Garroway

Words: 46,768 (COMPLETE!)

Summary: Eighteen years ago, the twelve poverty-stricken districts rebelled against the Capitol and lost. Now, the Hunger Games are held every year to remind the districts of the power of the Capitol and the sacrifices of war, blah blah.

Magnus doesn’t want to be a pawn in the Capitol’s disgusting game, but he knows that at some point he is probably going to have to choose — to kill another human being or be killed.

Meanwhile, Alec is just trying to get his sister out of the Games alive.

I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF THIS VIDEO!!!

It's the Jace and Clary alley scene from City of Fallen Angels

Let me get you in context sharing with you what Cassie said about it maaaany years ago on 2011:

Hey folks. You’re at part one of the treasure hunt for what we like to call the DSAS, or the Dirty Sexy Alley Scene. You see, when my videographer was shooting scenes for the book trailer for City of Fallen Angels, well, she shot a scene deemed “too hot for TV” by my publisher. So the footage was cut. What to do with it? Vania, ever resourceful, made a little mini-movie out of it, added some effects, and voila, the DSAS.

Now nothing happens in the DSAS that would be inappropriate in a PG-13 movie. It’s just … a bit passionate. But to make sure you really want to see it we decided to create a little treasure hunt across the blogosphere, featuring some of today’s top YA writers and their unwavering commitment to “makey-outy scenes.” You start here. Each blog leads you to the next blog, which will give you a letter. At the end, you’ll have all the letters and can unscramble them into the password that will allow you to watch the video. The password is Mortal Instruments-related, keep that in mind when figuring it out.

And then the "treasure hunt" led you to forming the word "Wayland" and long story short, you got access to this video and now i'm bringing it back!

I almost fell from my chair when I watched it again! I swear I didn't even remember it existed

Can you hear my fangirl screams?

BECAUSE I’M SCREAMING!!!

And just because, here I leave you a link from the book scene but in Jace's pov The act of Falling

*cutely asks you about all the books you’ve read*

The Kingdom of Fantasy. I was OBSESSED with the twin fairies, Blossom and Wither. and their brother, Prince Lucky. basically, all the attractive characters. when I read book 13 (pretty sure that's it), I started off by shipping Flamelet and Winglet, but then of course, Winglet x Lorian grew on me, though I still half-shipped Flamelet and Winglet. and also Flamelet was revealed to be Winglet's sympathetic villain cousin (!) so of course Winglorian became endgame. My favorite book in the series was The Phoenix of Destiny because I was a child and didn't know of the twin thing. Long story short, my mind was blown.

The Land of Stories by Chris Colfer. My grade 3 teacher read this book to us and BAM! Loved it since the first chapter. Everyone in my class loved it too, so they borrowed the only copy of the second book from the library. Since I actually had money back then, I bought it. It's still there on my shelf.

The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. The only criticism I have for these books is Finnick. WHY'D HE HAVE TO DIE, SUZANNE. WHY. WHY. WHY. Catching Fire is definitely my favorite movie and book.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians by rick riordan. I am a daughter of Athena. I like the books. I am also very tired so I'll leave it like that. Also, I can't wait for the Disney+ show.

The 39 Clues. Any stans, leave. I literally co-founded the I HATE AMY CAHILL club. Dan, however, is a different story. He's cool. I don't have very much to say about it, other than that I would be a Lucian or Ekaterina. Probably Lucian though. They need more people ever since Natalie and Isabel died.

A Tale of Magic trilogy (so far) by Chris Colfer. Yes, it is separated from TLOS because there was a four-year gap between the two series. This series made me try to draw again. I might draw Xanrik fanart soon. Very soon. I will start as soon as I get home. And I may color it. Also, I need a book with Emerelda, Tangerina, and Skylene POVs.

The Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare.

The Grishaverse by Leigh Bardugo. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE BOOKS AND I DO NOT NEED TO SAY ANYTHING ELSE. READ THEM NOW. RIGHT NOW. (or at least try).

The Throne of Glass series (minus Tower of Dawn and Kingdom of Ash) by Sarah J. Maas. I preferred it when she was Celaena. Now she's basically a whole new person, Aelin Ashryver Whitethorn Galathynius. Fire powers are cool though.

ACOTAR by Sarah J. Maas, plus a bit of ACOMAF, ACOWAR, and ACOSF. Can I just say...wow. What is this series? Why are there so many faeries? Why is Tamlin evil now?

Lockwood and Co. series by Jonathan Stroud. The skull was great, Kipps' redemption arc was great, Holly was great, and everyone was great. I also liked Annabel's locket. It inspired me to wear my own locket every day.

Warriors - Shadowhunters

[khaleesiofalicante]

After watching the Heartstopper trailer, can we have a tiny scene, even if it's just a random thing, of Kincaid having a gay panic over Ben? 👀

“Ben!” Joan screeched, letting go of Kincaid and sprinting toward the stranger in the background.

The man was striking - a cascade of wavy brown hair with pink highlights framed his face, and his outfit was flamboyant yet effortless.

A silk shirt with flowing sleeves, loosely tucked into high-waisted trousers, shimmered in the light. Several necklaces adorned his neck, their gleam catching the eye.

Kincaid immediately clocked him as a Downworlder. Most Shadowhunter boys wouldn’t dress like that - even if they were allowed to.

Arthur did. But Arthur didn’t really consider himself a Shadowhunter, and Kincaid often wondered if Arthur even considered himself a boy.

“Kinny!” Joan yelled over her shoulder. “Kincaid! Come here! Come meet Ben!”

Kincaid approached, nodding politely. “Hello.”

“Kincaid, this is Ben. He’s my godfather,” Joan introduced with a proud grin.

“I am?” The warlock raised a perfectly arched brow. “Since when?”

“Since I said so,” Joan huffed. “Ben, Kincaid’s the one who got rid of the shadow demons. Did you know?”

“Ahh,” Ben drawled, eyes twinkling. “So you’re the one who got me fired from my job, hm? You’ll have to pay me back for that.”

Kincaid blinked, startled. “Oh-oh no, sir. I didn’t mean-um, I’m sorry.”

“I was teasing, darling,” Ben interrupted with a soft laugh. “You couldn’t afford me anyway.”

Kincaid flushed. “Sure…sir.”

“He calls me ‘sir,’” the warlock giggled, turning to Joan. “Where are your parents?”

“They’re in the Gard with the others,” Joan said, watching as Ben blew them both a kiss before sauntering off, his hips swaying with carefree confidence.

“He’s something, right?” Joan sighed, watching him go with stars in her eyes.

“Yeah, I guess he’s pretty,” Kincaid mumbled.

“I meant he’s cool!” Joan narrowed her eyes at him.

“That’s what I meant too!” Kincaid rushed out. “Pretty cool…Um, should we join them in the Gard? Let's go.”

✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩

All the fics I’ve read and really enjoyed in the past week-ish. Reminder: This list features any and all ratings and themes.

ATLA

illustrate the remnants of the life i used to live by WitchofEndor

Zuko's soul marks have been regularly burned away since before he knew what they meant. He knows that he cannot be loyal to his father and his nation while also being loyal to a soul family, so he doesn't look for them. Unfortunately, that means that he doesn't know when he's found them.

Stranger things

Shovel Talks by unkreativstermensch (+ podfic)

"Oh,” Steve says. Then again, “oh,” a little quieter. His expression changes; from confusion to something pained almost. “Mr Munson, I don’t…” he takes a deep breath, his voice a little shaky as he continues. “I don’t think he…I don’t think he likes me like that.”

He doesn’t say “it’s not like that.” Neither does he say “I’m not like that.”

That’s the first thing Wayne notices.

or: Wayne decides to give Steve the shovel talk, only to realize he might not be the one needing one

Peaceful Bliss by unkreativstermensch

"Henderson,” Eddie groans. “Do you have any idea what time it is?" He rubs his hands over his face. Dustin nods.

"Of course, it’s 6:15, but we need to talk, it's really urgent, I noticed something about the-" he stops in his tracks when he notices the patch of hair next to Eddie, sticking out from under the covers and in between pillows, and the way Eddie winces because Dustin's talking too loud, and oh shit- there's someone else in bed with him.

or: Dustin has the annoying habit of just busting into Eddie's trailer at ungodly hours. One morning Eddie's not alone though.

SVSSS

Protagonist Rehabilitation Programme by cinnamonsnaps

(oh my god they were roommates)

"Thank you, valued user, for accepting the Protagonist Rehabilitation Programme. Your task: Ensure the protagonist's happiness."

Shen Yuan is convinced that his favouri... least favourite novel's main protagonist isn't really happy. He has babes, money and power, but does he have any friends? Cue the system handily dropping Demon King Luo Binghe into his bedroom. Can Shen Yuan make him happy before the timer runs out?

(90% light-hearted comedy, 10% existential horror and fear because this is the OG PIDW Binghe we're talking about)

Shadowhunters

Families of Choice by MonPetitTresor

Life at the Institute takes a turn for the worse for Alec. When he's alone with no where else to turn, his siblings step up and help him find his feet once more with help from a few new friends along the way. Between them, Alec finally gets a chance to realize that the world doesn't begin and end with being a Shadowhunter, and there's more out there for him, so long as he's got the courage to reach out and grab it.

Salvation lets their wings unfold by HopeSilverheart

Alec is frozen and, when she spots what has him looking so horrified, so is Clary.

Above the fireplace, hanging on the wall like some sort of divine offering, rest a pair of huge, black angel wings, so similar to Alec’s own. The mere sight makes him want to throw up and curl his wings around himself to make sure all his feathers are still in place. He can’t even begin to imagine life without the pair of extra limbs every Nephilim has to deal with. To be faced with the reminder that some people want nothing more than to tear those wings off his back is…

“What the fuck, Alec?” Clary whispers, her voice choked up and angry and alarmed. “Alec, what is this?”

Or: Alec, Clary and Magnus go on a mission to a warlock's home. What they find there leaves its mark on both shadowhunters.

Star Wars

listen, there's a hell of a universe next door by storm_petrel

As it turns out, no one ever taught Luke how to tie a little green baby to his back one-handed, but Luke thinks he's pretty gods-damned good at problem-solving under pressure, thank you, and the baby is at least semi-cooperative. When he's sure the kid is strapped in as tight as he can get, Luke pauses, and reaches back. His fingers graze the wide point of the baby's fuzzy ear. "Well, kid," says Luke, and his voice is a little rough, but not bad, all things considered. "Carrying you on my back while getting the absolute banthashit kicked out of me, at least this feels familiar."

The baby coos in his ear, and then kicks him hard in the kidney. Yoda used to do the exact same thing. Somehow, it's a lot more endearing now.

Or: Luke Skywalker solves a number of life-or-death problems, makes some new friends, falls abruptly in love, and gets shot into space, all in the same day.

Clone Wars

No wealth, no ruin, no silver, no gold by themonopolyhat

"New orders.” Cody hands the data pad over, and Waxer takes a minute to absorb the screen contents.

“Are we—” He stops, his voice hushed with something like awe. “Do we get to hit Dooku's... the kriff do the natties call it...” He snaps his fingers and points at Wooley for some reason. “Vacation home. Are we gonna burn down Dooku's vacation home?"

Or: Six weeks after Obi-Wan's funeral, the 212th reunites with their general.

Season 2: canon or queercatching?

I see many GO cast and crew talking about a romance in season 2 and many people seem to take that as a confirmation that the Ineffable Husbands will be confrimed canon in season 2. But will they? Looking at the past I think we should be careful with our excitment. Because this could be queercatching instead of actual queer reprsentation.

To those of you unfamilar with the term, I can highly recommend you to watch this glorious video by Rowan Ellis.

Short summary: Queercatching is confirming a character as queer outside the show without ever making it explicit inside the show. So why I am so pessimistic? Neil already wrote a beautiful queer show, called the Sandman, didn’t he? Yeah, and this is already the first problem

1. Network

It does matter what Network you are writing for, as “beautiful” shown by Disney over the last couple of years. Netflix is really open to LGBTQ topics in their shows that are not aiming at a major audience. But they are also quick to cancel those shows again, and also netflix struggles to include queer characters in their major shows. The witcher, Stranger Things, Bridgerton... most of this shows have none or only one well written out and proud queer person among the main cast.

Now let us look at Prime. The wheel of time, The rings of power. Zero so far in LOTR, one queer side character in TWOT. Not a good starting point for making Ineffable husbands canon. Because let not fool you. GO is a show aimed at a mass market. A mass market that already had a breakdown over Sandman... at Netflix... not aimed at a mass market.

I can really recommend everyone to read the BTS book of the director of Shadowhunters, it is a beautiful inside in what rules the showrunners have to follow. Showrunners can not just go and make the main lead gay. Look at Velma f.e.

2. Advertisment

I saw people saying: But the show is promoted by the romantic relationship between the leads. So it must be explicit in the show.

Nope.

Promo has nothing NOTHING to do with the actual show. Social media campaigns are not run by the writers or showrunners, but by the network, giving the promo material to social media managers who also have not watched the show yet.

Look at the examples above.

Or the Venom Rom Com trailer for movie 1. Yeah, Venom and Eddie are dating and married. But at this point no one knew there would be a love confession in movie 2. This was just pure bait.

And yup, we now have the heart photo for our fav Demon/Angle duo.

But this just promo. Promo has nothing to do with the actual show. Promo can be accidentally or deliberately misleading. Yeah their wings are heartshaped, I see that, you see that... but is it confirmed? By anyone from the show? Has Neil said the wings are supposed to be hearts? Nope. Maybe he can’t, but I am actually really sure he won’t. Because this is what we are reading into it, not necessarily what is actually supposed to be here. Remeber: Gender reveal: blue

But Neil said they love eachother? 

I hear you say. Well, yeah but the whole quote is this:

They love eachother, they are not necessarily “in love” with each other. Also Neil really does support a QPR reading of them. This is also queer, of course, no question on that. But that would it make easier for Neil to claim they love eachother, without showing it explicit inside the show

But why would he do that?!

Well because, as he often has said, this is not his story. He shares this story with TP. He often said he does this show to honor TP, to honor his ideas. With sandman he did whatever he wanted, because it was queer and diverse all along. BUt with GO he is more careful. He will not do drastic changes, but leave the romantic relationship subtext and only epxlicit outside the show.

Let us look at other examples here:

F.e. the poly relationship in Levegere. It was confirmed by the showrunner that the OT3 is canon inside the show:

But it was never shown explicit. Not even in the soft reboot this year.And this show is produced by IMBD TV und runs of Amazon Freeve. So what a showrunner is saying on social media on what is actually happening inside a show does not necessarily has to be the same

Or how to train your dragon also has a gay character. Did you knew that or did you missed it like everyone else? It was even stated in the show. You don’t believe me: “This is why I never married. This and another reason” There is it stated that he canon gay inside the movie.

So what am I saying? That Neil is just bsaiting the fans, that Neil is bad at LGBTQ representation? No, I am saying that an explicit love story between Azi and Crowley is maybe not the story Neil wants to tell.

he is aware these two love eachother and he will never split them up. And he is aware that those are two non human genderless beings but that doesn’t change the fact that until now we have no real hint that they will be explicit queer in season 2.

But he said there will be a romance? Yeah, but he didn’t said between whom, so be careful with statement like that

Thats all I want to say with that post, be careful with your excitment.

Hi, mate! since that trailer's come out, I'm all in a Bridgerton rush meself! Now, which couples from The Shadowhunter Chronicles do you reckon match up with them Bridgerton tropes?

Hi, mate!

I just watched the trailer, and keeping in mind that I've only read the first Bridgerton book I will go only with what I saw in the show.

1. Simon/Daphne = Anna/Ari (but without all the SA part)

It may look crazy, but I think a plot like this could work: Ari is the diamond of the season, she is a virgin with no experience while Anna is known for her sexual adventure. One day for ✨️reasons✨️ both Anna and Ari find themselves alone in a closed space and someone discovers them, at this point Bridgestock is furious with Gabrily and expects Anna to marry his daughter to not ruin Ari's reputation (I know, in a realistic setting this wouldn’t be allowed and they would both be arrested, but in a world where non-white people are English nobles in the early 1800 we can also accept that same-sex marriage was allowed).

Then Anna and Ari would live their married life starting to know each other, falling in love, having sex and the drama would be caused not by SA, but by Ari questioning Anna's loyalty because maybe Hypaxia could imply that she and Anna still have sex (which will turn out to be a lie).

In the end they will clarify, have sex and after a few years they would adopt children.

2. Kate/Anthony = Gabriel/Cecily

I don't need to elaborate further.

3. Colin/Penelope = Christopher/Grace

A friends to lovers "I will help you find the right person oh wait I am the right person" is one of my favourite tropes ever. Grace could be the one not finding a suitor, and her dear friend Christopher could propose to help her find a good husband that isn’t an old man just interested in possessing a young beautiful woman, and Grace offers up to help him find a woman who loves him and doesn’t consider him a weirdo for his interest in science. In the process of finding these people, Grace and Kit will realize they’re the perfect fit for each other.

[edwinspaynes]

Hi, mate! since that trailer's come out, I'm all in a Bridgerton rush meself! Now, which couples from The Shadowhunter Chronicles do you reckon match up with them Bridgerton tropes?

Hi... tentatively thinking you're @faithfromanewperspective ?

What tropes are you specifically talking about? If we're talking the Bridgerton books (that I'm a fan of), Herondaisy and Book!Polin are adorable childhood friends to lovers ships. (Not a fan of show Polin, so wouldn't compare them to Herondaisy. I'm probably not going to tune into this season except for the Kathony scenes and pretty costume gifs.)

Wessa has a similar fairy-tale vibe to Benedict/Sophie which I really like and am keen on.

Title: Just Say “I Do”

Fandoms: Shadowhunters (TV), Crazy Rich Asians AU

Warnings: Rated E.

Relationships: Alec Lightwood x Magnus Bane, Aline Penhallow x Helen Blackthorn

Words: 40,154 (COMPLETE!)

Summary: Magnus Bane needs to get married quickly to get his father off his back and fulfil the conditions that will allow him to keep his inheritance. But in hindsight, proposing to his one-night stand from the bar last night might not have been the brightest idea.

[straightbaittournament]

MAY THE BEST BAIT WIN! propaganda under the cut:

grace blackthorn and christopher lightwood:

Okay so basically in Shadowhunters there was this family tree, and on it it stated that Christopher and Grace got married and had a kid. And in the book series they were just good friends. Cassandra Clare (the author) has said it’s inaccurate. But like cmon you said they were going to get married 😭😭

kwan and win:

This is a Thai teen drama that focuses on many teens going through hardships and it's very dramatic and very fun I love it so much THESE TWO. They circled around each other for two whole seasons and the tension was there!! He was a bad boy, she was a good girl, every time they spoke there was something in the air. They were both arguably the leads of an ensemble cast and it really felt like they were being set up to get together but then it just... never happens. This show has been out for 10 years and I'm still mad about it. THE WASTED POTENTIAL OF IT ALL

neo, mew, and shin:

Before the show aired there was all this speculation over who Neo (a boy) was going to choose, Mew (a girl) or Shin (a boy). A lot of people suspected that Neo and Mew would get together and even though the trailers seemed to imply that there was something between Neo and Shin, that it wouldn't end well for them. Turns out the show went a completely different direction and ended up with polyamory with all three dating each other. This song from the show released before the show came out and there's a lot of comments from people before the show came out trying to figure out who's going to end up together (with some people saying that they hope it'll be poly but are sure that it probably won't be) https://youtu.be/5w-nDbr2fxY And here's the famous kiss scene (there's no subs in this clip but the general vibe is that they're telling Shin (the shorter guy) that even the two of them have feelings for each other, they care about him too) https://youtu.be/Gr4fTrXqL8k https://64.media.tumblr.com/80a1b4441645c65825f221a42d2e88ed/36e07bb804d7de75-59/s540x810/bd1bb49d299d904c8ffe9a26b970caf9567eaae3.pnj

fitzroy angursell and pali avramapul:

I’m pretty sure even the author thought they were straight and endgame when she started writing them. Although initially Pali is portrayed as the love of Fitzroy’s life so that you think you’re going to have to put up with this straight relationship, she’s later canonically confirmed aroace with a lot of subtext around two other women, while it becomes clear in later books that Fitzroy has a growing interest in another man. Tfw you are sure they’re going to kiss by the end of the book and then it turns out that previous marriage proposals were plausibly about friendship in the first place

naoko takahashi and shouta oohara:

this “show” is a 2 episode hentai so I can understand if this doesn’t get in the brackets lol (I would not recommend watching this hentai for the sex scenes, I just remember reading about Oohara getting cucked for a girl and thinking that I had to see this) So, it starts off with Takahashi being in love with Oohara and they do have ghost sex in the first part of the episode 1 but what happens is that even though they have the opportunity to be together as ghosts, Takahashi pretty much IMMEDIATELY forgets about Oohara because she becomes completely infatuated with this ghost girl named Sakurako to the point where even when Oohara turns into a tiny penis in episode 2 but Takahashi doesn’t give a fuck

the joker and harley quinn:

They were a thing. She left his toxic ass for a cool plant lady. Good for her.

good luck! now go vote!
