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."

*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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Why Netflix brought Sense8 back for a special and refuse to do so as well for others
Disclaimer: I love Fan campaigns, and I take part in many of them, this is only an analysis of the situation
When taking part in fan campaigns to save a show from cancellation I often here: „we brought Sense8 back, we can do so as well“
I think what people do not understand is how well Organized the Sense8 fandom was back then. Sense8 was one of Netflix first major shows, and one of Netflix first major shows with a lot of LGBTQ representation. Streaming was new and Netflix was growing like crazy, they were a single player on the market. Netflix did everything to make their show’s successful
The irony of the whole story is: Netflix themselves helped to build the Sense8 fandom. The promo campaign before season 1 dropped was insane. Posters everywhere, character trailers for every single one of the cluster, they even had trailers for sense8 in my German cinemas here. And! They even released season 1 on DVD. A nice white box set together with other shows (I need that box set so bad). They had social media accounts for the show. They send the casts on every major pride parade. Once season 1 was released Netflix continued to hype the show up. They didn’t just went quiet about it, like they do today.
Then Netflix announced a Christmas/New Year’s Eve special: To further hype the show up and to shorten the waiting time for season 2. it was again a major event.
When Season 2 finally dropped and was shortly cancelled after, the fandom was amazingly organized and HUGE! The fans already knew each other from conventions and prides. There were tumblr accounts only dedicated to the show, or single characters of the show
When Netflix cancelled the show they said: „the viewing numbers do not justify such high production costs“. But in the end the simple truth was that Netflix wanted to produce cheaper shows that were easily marketable. The show still had a lot of viewers, nevertheless
This is why it was so easy for the fans to gain 300.000 signs in five days on the Save Sense8-petition. In the end it was over half a million… in around two weeks! In just a few days they had bought the domain for savesense8.com and released a petition calendar: one month, everyday, one campaign.
Fans phoned Netflix. Send them Flipflops, letters, produced a whole music video in under a week and got an actor of the show involved, digged out every single mailing address they could find and wrote there. Netflix’s social media accounts was hardly usable anymore because the comment section was full of #savesense8 and I mean in an amount you can not imagine.
We were so loud that even the HEAD of Netflix wrote us a letter. And they even gave us a special mail address we should write to why we love Sense8.
So in under one month we got the show back. Because I think not even Netflix was prepared for such an outrage. It was new and unique.
And 2) the financial situation back then was completely different. The situation on the market was different. Prime just started producing their own shows, every other streaming service didn’t existed yet.
This is also why Shadowhunters got two specials right away because they were also amazingly organized, maybe even better then sense8. Look what they pulled off to get a season 3. if Netflix didn’t gave them their specials right away they would have gotten their special!
But most shows being cancelled today are small shows with really passionate fan bases but sadly not many viewers. I am all here for: „Netflix stop cancelling smaller shows, a successful company should have big and small shows“ but Netflix isn’t. And hence it is so complicated for small shows to get conclusion. Because 10M tweets are impressive but if you have a few thousand fans who tweet everyday that’s an achievable goal.
Look what sense8 had to pull off and we got a „we hear your voice, but sadly we can not bring back the show“ letter, half way through our campaign…
I really hate the whole situation honestly, but I have the feeling today major shows do not get canceled anymore, only the smaller shows that can not make enough noise to really bother Netflix…. I really hope that will change one day and Netflix will change their strategy
Until then we can not do anymore then support every small queer show and hope for the best

Hey Axelle! how's it going? I'm dropping by right after binging a Netflix show called The Bastard Son and the Devil Himself.
Why? you might wonder.... Well, remember 3 Will Be Free?
If, like me, you might have been craving a good poly relationship that gives you all the feel sI recommend you watch this show. Imagine european witches, a trio of misfits with a lot of romantic tension, sarcasm, humor, interesting lore, good characters and a very decent plot for a low budget YA type show and make it eight episodes. It's a good little show and is really worth a watch. I literally went in for the three mains and stayed for the rest of the characters. Anyways, I wanted to let everybody know about it, and hope you give it a shot. (Even tho it has nothing to do with thailand xD) A lot of it happens in France, so that was a little funny to me (I'm half french and I admit I cringed a little) but nothing too bad that would distract me form the plot. I ended up rambling, I'm done now :)
I hope you like it. Love your blog <3<3<3
hi, it’s going good thanks! do I remember 3 will be free aka one of my favorite thai dramas of all time?? THE bisexual show itself?? of course I do 😌 aaaaand that's how you got my attention immediately hehe! so I watched the trailer... and I'm into it! ever since I started thai dramas I'm not super into supernatural shows like I used to (I used to be obsessed with teen wolf & shadowhunters lol), but the trailer hooked me in!!! though as a full frenchie (well biologically only a quarter but culturally I'm fully french) I might cringe even more than you :'))) thanks for the rec, the shot of them in the bed reminded me of 3 will be free so much I screamed! I'll watch it as soon as I've finished my not me rewatch! thanks for the support I appreciate it <3

Video
Belatedly remembered to bring this back because of the release of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes XD
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.

Watch the power of gays.
For a long time, my mom and grandma struggled to accept my bisexuality. They still do, but it's much better now and my mom even jokes (in a nice way) about it. Now I even have flags and lots of stuff with queer references and they don't blink an eye. And then I started easing them on queer media. Of course I started with Shadowhunters, and they adored Malec (and my grandma loved Izzy too). Then I showed them Heartstopper. And now I just showed them the RWRB trailer and they already said they want to watch the movie as soon as it's released. I'm so proud
I'm so proud of you and I'm even happier for you.
Kudos to your mom and grandma. I'm proud of them too. Hope you guys enjoy rwrb 💙
