another one of my personal favorites i read a while back during the covid pandemic— it was a fic binge-read night. and this brought me to a whole new universe while still having elements of the attack on titan series.

flames of nirvana is what i'd describe a post war aot fic that diverges into an expansion of other nations plus great and diverse original characters, all at the expense of ackervida's world building. and what an incredible world-building that is.

this fic emphasizes on the politics side of the nations and comes with war, consequence, and risk. at the same time, cultivates levi's connection with the reader as they fight. but of course, war is never easy. all these characters get into conflicts of having to choose between their beliefs or the greater good, all for the chance of winning. and the original characters also have substance and have intriguing stories and development.

i cried, i gasped, and i cheered during the ups and highs of this fic. from start to end, it did not disappoint. i feel like I'm about to say this to all the fics I'm about to feature in today's cuppa but this is amazing like even if aot has ended, you get to continue the story by someone else's creation.

Kind: Series

Content: violence, action, smut, suicide attempts, canon divergence, more tags on ao3

Status: completed

𝙁𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙉𝙞𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙖 by ackervida

In the heat of a never ending war, Levi finds himself recruiting a compromised spy. But the war outside is nothing compared to their own inner battles, and hand in hand, they find the strength to conquer them one by one. And the world follows.

B) Also- life has been getting a bit busy again lately- so if I'm not posting as frequent, it's because reality's throwing things at my face 😗🔥Will always try to make time to post something when I can!

what are your thoughts on the AGGGTM show?? Have seen a few mixed opinions on here... Is it good or meh or just outrageously terrible?

A slew of goodies headed off to the Wayward Retreats team tomorrow morning! These items will be included in blind box rewards to say thank you to folks who support our Kickstarter (running until November 30th). The team is primarily raising funds to replenish the scholarship fund for creators of color, which has been amply utilized these last few years. (Hooray!)

I've been involved with Wayward as a retreater and returning facilitator since 2019 and I wanna see this community thrive!!! The whole experience feels like the perfect intersection of my interests and proclivities as an artist.

Also I just wanna applaud them for picking the best photo for my facilitator bio.

"Eyy, you wanna buy a flowah crown?"

Anyway, if you're interested in participating in a future retreat, read on for info about Wayward:

Wayward is a creative retreat for artists of all marginalized genders set on Quadra Island, BC. Free from cell phones and internet, the artists at Wayward have the quiet time and space they need to dig deep into their art, experiment, explore, and hone their craft. We welcome nonbinary folks, transgender folks, and cisgender women from a range of artistic backgrounds with the aim of creating a safer space for connection with self, other artists, and the work. Our artists come back from Wayward revitalized, often with important inroads made into new, experimental avenues in their work. In this way, Wayward fulfills its mission of helping artists advance their art and process in service of a more harmonious world.

In addition to solo work time, Wayward creates space for collaboration and adventure. Retreaters create an interconnected group piece over the course of the retreat week. Optional workshops and excursions into the wild are offered for those who need a break from their work. Morning movement class helps retreaters wake to the day in a gentle way. Daily meals are prepared by the hosts and retreaters together, often with greens from the house’s garden, oysters from the nearby beach, or other local ingredients. 

Check out the retreat website here and keep an eye out for future applications! And thanks to @sawdustbear for their stellar work on this campaign.
