Gaze — 2023

"For a moment," he says, "I wondered if it wasn't you shooting bolts at me." I make a face at him. "What makes you think that it wasn't?" He grins up at me. "They missed."

FREE ELAIN!!

I will never shut up about this

"Elain in black was ridiculous. Yes, she was beautiful, but the color of her long-sleeved, modest gown leeched the brightness from her face. It wore her, rather than the other way around. And he knew the cruelty of the Hewn City troubled her. But she hadn't hesitated to come. When Feyre had offered to let her remain home, Elain had squared her shoulders and declared that she was a part of this court - and would do whatever was needed. So Elain let her golden-brown hair down tonight, and pinned it back with twin combs of pearl. He'd never once in the two years he'd known her found Elain to be plain, but wearing black, no matter how much she claimed to be part of this court ... it sucked the life from her."

"Elain would love this place. So many flowers, all in bloom, so much green - the light, vibrant green of new grass - so many birds singing and such warm, buttery sunshine. Nesta felt like a storm cloud standing amid it all. But Elain ... The Spring Court had been made for someone like her. Too bad her sister refused to see her. Nesta would have told Elain to visit this place."

Argue with canon, bitches 'cause Elain is off to Spring💐

@wolfstarmicrofic September 19 - prompt 19: Dementor [word count 533]

Peter was actually happy there were Dementors around the castle grounds. They would protect Hogwarts, but definitely not in the way those idiots at the Minister thought. They wouldn’t protect their precious school and precious saviour from a murderer, but rather themselves and their oh-so-flawed system from the truth. And they would protect him as well. Peter was even happier to discover that Dementors little affected him in his rat form. He had enough to worry about as it was. He could only imagine what twelve years in that hellish place that was Azkaban had done to Sirius, and actually hoped the terror he was sure to have of the Dementors would keep him away from Hogwarts. And from him specifically. Still, he couldn’t ignore the hundreds of memories he had of Sirius appearing from some secluded place in the castle apparently out of nowhere, the whole of the Marauder’s Map memorised in his brilliant mind. And if Peter had found out as he had stayed hidden in the red-headed boy’s pocket that Dementors didn’t affect Animagi as much, Sirius surely had found out as well.

Moreover, the train ride on September 1st had brought another gigantic problem with it as well. It wasn’t enough spending it, like he had done with every single day since the news of the breakout from Azkaban, frantically wondering where he could run to to save himself, if there was any place more secure than Hogwarts, if Hogwarts was actually that secure faced with twelve years of wrath and betrayal and the mind and abilities of a Marauder. It wasn’t enough being fussed over with because he looked ‘ill’ when all he was was utterly terrified, or being once again face to face with James’s son who, as the kid face slowly left him to be replaced by the sharper traits of being a teenager, looked more and more like his father, his eyes sometimes dragging over him unknowingly as accusing as his mother’s. No, when the kids had closed their compartment door he had smelled it first and then seen it with his own eyes. Remus. Remus was there too, fast asleep in a corner, looking worse than he had ever seen him. But Remus would know if he took even one look at him, or if the wolf in him took a whiff of his scent. And if Remus knew, it would be over. There was no way he would survive as soon as the certainty that Sirius had never betrayed James and Lily hit Remus. No, despite twelve years of heartbreak, the moment Remus knew the love of his life was innocent, and what he had had to endure because of him, he would run back to his side, Ministry, Dumbledore and Dementors be damned. And if Peter was deadly afraid of Sirius’s wrath, fueled by grief, twelve years of nightmares and possibly the legendary craziness of his family at this point, he was even more afraid of Remus’s level-headedness, the calm he always had in front of even the most awful things. Yes, if Remus and Sirius found each other again, fell into each other’s arms again, Peter was as good as dead.

givemelibertypleasw is focusing too much on show fanon, not what’s actually in the books.

Both Criston and Otto made wild accusations about her killing her siblings but Rhaenyra was ready to forgive them because she saw them as victims of Hightower ambition. She only turned on them AFTER Luke’s murder, not before.

People forget how damaging the tarnish of kinslaying is in Westerosi culture. Rhaenyra would never start her Queenship with this because it would make people turn against her.

Daemon’s shown to be a wild card in the show because the dumbass writers think passive women = feminism. In the books he’s Rhaenyra’s attack dog, he doesn’t kill without her direct order e.g. Vaemond Velaryon. So no, he wouldn’t kill her siblings because like I said kinslaying is political suicide and Rhaenyra made no indication she blames her siblings for her crown being usurped.

imo I think she would still be against kinslaying despite Luke’s death if Aemond had been punished, instead Aegon II threw him a feast. How else would a grieving mother react?

She wouldn’t kill them but she’s also smart enough to know keeping them around will have long term repercussions, especially for Jace. What I can see her do is have Daeron and Aemond sent to the Wall or to the Citadel to become Septons/Maesters that way they automatically lose their claim. She’d do the same to Jaehaerys and Maelor when they come of age. As for Aegon he would be put under house arrest, similar to what Baelor I had done to his three sisters. Helaena isn’t a threat by herself and Jaehaera could be easily married off to Joffrey.

Point is Rhaenyra had options when it came to her siblings that didn’t involve kinslaying. Options she would’ve gone through with if it wasn’t for Luke and Jace’s death and the Greens subsequent reaction to said deaths.

i don’t have anything to add, this right here is exactly it.

The Queen of Nothing spoilers ⚠️⚠️

I was NOT expecting Taryn to confess to killing Locke… I might be able to start liking her again.

✨I support women’s wrongs.✨

[straightasaaro]

nothing was more disappointing then looking at the cruel prince tik tok and seeing the top video be ai generated images “illustrating” scenes of the book. I’m going to fucking kill someone.

thoughts on wren using the bridle on oak? i love wren, but i wonder if it was necessary bc of the horrible experiences she had w the bridle that she had to have known abt when she put it on oak

hi! I actually haven't read Wren & Oak's books (don't feel bad; I haven't tried to avoid spoilers so this isn't a big deal). because of that, I really don't know their characters and can't speak much to this, even though I'm familiar-ish with the circumstances around it

my stab in the dark answer: it does seem like a fairly terrible thing to do, but I could also see it being some kind of commentary on suffering and power (when you've been hurt in a very specific way, it might feel empowering to be the one inflicting that same hurt on someone else—but in doing so, you become the monster you fear). but that's all from an outside perspective. others who've read the book are welcome to share their thoughts here if they want!

Happy release day! As of today, I am officially an author of TWO books. Amazing, really, for someone who’s been on this earth for almost exactly double the time they planned to be.

If you like (no harem) isekai-like fantasy and JRPGs, I think they’re both pretty cool and that you should pick ‘em up. Book 1 here and book 2 here, if that’s your jam

Otherwise I’d just appreciate the likes and reblogs to get these bad boys out there, thanks for reading this post but my books are cooler ☺️
