#thank you for your ask!❤️

Okay, I'm very curious about the Minnesang fic, but also the one titled 'rience' because of obvious reasons xD

Well you're getting both since you asked :3

Someone commented on a fic of mine mentioning a scene in it reminded them of medieval minnesang. My response was basically 'no idea what that is but apparently it's about the singer striving to serve the lady to win her favour, so consider me interested in a radskier version of that'. So idk where this one is going (or even if it is going), but it's that kind of courtly love vibe + secret admirer poems + angst.

Lil' excerpt:

"From a nameless admirer," she announced, then began to read. 'I thought myself free once, from such a sorrow When, in the name of love, I gave and took. Now I crave you to be with me, dear, Even if persevering is a tightrope. Yet to you I look And I only wish to follow. Once I fled in strife and fear, I return to you in hope.'

'Rience' I fear will disappoint you because he's barely in it xD it's an AU of s3 where Jaskier is found by Rience again, so he takes refuge in the Redanian court with Radovid. It's basically just an excuse to make radskier spend more time together and get closer before shit hits the fan.

Lil' excerpt:

"I figured Rience hadn't been the one to come for you," Radovid says, suddenly, "given that my apartments were not in cinders when I awoke. But I would have appreciated a note." "Ah." Jaskier stammers. "Right." He ponders if that merits an apology, opens his mouth, ready to try it. "You're wearing my ring." No time to figure out what the fuck just possessed him to say that to Radovid's face.

AAAAA the art wall!!!! As they should. Your "you know other men??" comic is particularly special to me, glad they feel the same.

If you're inclined (no pressure), I'd love to see all the hi res versions of all your art pieces that you've spotted on the writers' wall? I recognize like 90% of them (the Louis in heels piece? Glad they're With that vision....), but it's always fun to see them in one place.

Regardless, thank you for sharing your art -- there's something about so warm and Human about it, and no matter what kind of day I'm having it always makes it better to see a new turnippodity piece!

HIIII THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!! Here’s some of my work that got picked 😭❤️

Hi! Just wanted to message you here to say I’ve loved all of your fanfics. I’m obsessed with all things Riorgail and I love how you write them - you seem to always get the perfect mix of sassy but mature Violet and in control / powerful but still gentle Xaden. I’ve particularly loved the Nights-verse series as well as To Hate and To Hold, but I am absolutely in love with In the Heat of it All. Like it’s amazing!!! I know you’re taking a hiatus from it which you totally deserve but I wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying it and would love to keep reading it when you find the time again! Thanks for writing it :)

Nonny 🥹🥹🥹🥹 thank you so much. You had incredible timing with this message. I really needed to hear it today.

I don’t know how else better to express my thanks (and my joy at having someone else who loves heat as much as I do) than by sharing a snippet from chapter 13:

“Try to rest.” His hand hasn’t left her forehead. He soothes her hair, over and over. “You’ll remember more in the morning.”

Remember. That word sparks something within her. There are definitely things she’s forgetting.

She rolls onto her side, smushing his hand between her head and the pillow in the process. He doesn’t move. Now that her eyes have adjusted to the light, she sees more of him. Somehow, the area just behind him is darker than the rest of the room, and the darkness swirls and swoops.

She must be seeing things. She’s so tired. But as her eyes shut, she has a realization.

“I think I’m mad at you,” she informs him.

“I know you are, Violence,” he promises, voice soft. “I haven’t forgotten. Don’t worry about that.”

So she doesn’t. She doesn’t worry about anything. She shuts her eyes and lets sleep claim her.

In love with the king for the wip folders game

A fic idea that struck me while rewatching 'The White Queen'. There's a particular scene of the protagonist waiting for the new king with an uncomfortable request, and I just saw the image in my head so clearly of Jaskier waiting for Radovid like that.

Lil' excerpt:

Jaskier eyed him discreetly. He'd heard of him, true, not just in appearance but in character, and had found him wanting on the second account. The Crown Prince was immature, idiotic and weak, more likely to host a party than to do anything useful. Jaskier recalled the words "Too drunk to find his own throne" being uttered in a tavern shortly after the coronation . The man before him, quiet and subdued, seemed anything but. Jaskier did not know if there had ever been any truth to the gossip prior to his ascension. Perhaps the tragic death of his family had changed him on a fundamental level. Or perhaps the rumors, as they often were, had always been wrong. The way people spoke of it, the new king would've driven the country into ruin in a week. As things were, he stood the unlikely victor of the war against an empire. Time would tell, Jaskier supposed, if he was to be a good king or not, but what a start! The poet in him could appreciate a dramatic turn.

i am not a käärijä fan but... Here's a little something for you after I caused so much emotional damage yesterday. Bojan wakes up morning, checking his phone as usual. There are several notifications about new messages, and he's surprised to see some are from Jere.

>>I am at fly station now

There's a photo of the board that Bojan recognises as the one at Helsinki-Vantaa, and Jere has underlined the flight to Riga.

Bojan types out a short message, still groggy. <<Enjoy your flight!

---

An hour later, when Bojan has finished his breakfast, there's a new message.

>>Another fly station now

The photo is from what Bojan assumes is Riga, and the underlined flight is for Ljubljana.

Bojan sighs audibly. It's wishful thinking, Jere actually coming to Ljubljana. It's probably just him having seen a thing that reminded him of Bojan, that's all.

<<Fly over! I'll show you all the tourist spots and the studio

There's an immediate reply. Jere is probably bored.

>>I am coming! I take taxi and see you when I come yes?

<<Haha, good joke. I know it's april fools 😉

Bojan wishes it wasn't a joke, but he knows it's impossible with their schedules.

>>Not a joke, I come today. I'm landing in three hours 😘

I didn't know Katara also had silver marks on the Kintsugi AU. How did you come up with that idea? Is it an in-universe cultural thing? If it is, is it exactly the same as Zuko's or does the Water Tribe have their own beliefs around it?

Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, I just really love how your mind works when it comes to these AUs 💖

Hello, and thanks for asking!

Initially, Kintsugi was a strictly Fire Nation tradition. Something to hold over the rest of the nations, and deepen their own belief of cultural superiority. Zuko hiding his scars played into that idea, since having gold inlaid in your body is a clear sign of Fire Nation blood—furthermore, High Fire Nation blood.

That being said, one lovely anon gave the suggestion that perhaps the other nations also have their own kinds of Kintsugi, and I fell in love with the idea. @ican-fixitbooks went even deeper into the particular philosophies of each nation regarding Kintsugi. I'll be using some quotes from them—watch for the italics.

It was during said brainstorming session that I thought of Katara having a silver Kintsugi scar, and how could it be used to enhance the themes of ATLA, Katara's arc, and this AU as a whole.

But a little background is necessary, I believe.

Kintsugi is a tradition practiced worldwide, with minor differences in philosophy/technique according to each nation.

The Earth Kingdom seal their scars with a substance that resembles bronze, as the mentality of breaking yourself down to build yourself back up better than you were is very central to their culture. It is used as a way to celebrate one's victories, made all the better if damage was taken to achieve it.

The elite have rather different views on this practice. They believe themselves to be above such things. That which is broken must be hidden away, which has interesting connotations when thinking about a certain blind earthbender.

The Air Nomad philosophy leans towards a naturalist approach. Anything natural doesn't need to be "improved" in their eyes. If a scar is there, it is there. Let it be there as a part of you, no different than any other, no need to be "made better", but in fact better to just "be".

Kintsugi is a cultural practice meant to celebrate making something beautiful out of something broken, arguably even making it better than it was. During Sozin's reign and forward, Kintsugi became a way to show the Fire Nation's superiority. Especially as that is essentially their philosophy for war: "Breaking the rest of the world so it can be reforged in fire, made a better, more perfect place."

As for the Water Tribes, there's the healing factor to take into account. The Northern Water Tribe isolated itself from the rest of the world once the war began, so they hold tight to their traditions and beliefs. If something is not broken, then why attempt to fix it? Kintsugi is scoffed at in the North—it is a foreign practice, one that is not necessary when all your wounds can be healed with bending.

However, the Southern Water Tribe has been exposed to the world. They have seen war. They have lived through it. They have suffered, but they are also free because of it, if only in spirit. The South is strong and proud and bold, so it comes as no surprise that silver Kintsugi becomes the mark of their warriors, their hunters, their people.

Katara was wounded during the last Southern Raid. After losing Kya in such a terrible way, Hakoda made sure to seal Katara's wound with the silver of their warriors, so that she would always remember that despite having been broken, she is still strong, beautiful, and proud.

The scar itself is long and thin, going from her right shoulder up to her jaw. It loosely resembles lightning.

And despite how she got it, despite all the things she lost on that day, despite it being a constant reminder of her mother's death—Katara loves her scar.

It grounds her. It pushes her forward. You are a warrior, it tells her. You are a survivor.

When Katara arrives at the North, her scar becomes yet another thing the Northerners hold against her. They use it to demean her, just as they do her gender and out-spoken personality.

The North believes a lot of things that Katara always considered natural to be a problem. What does it matter that she is a woman? What is wrong about being passionate? Why should having a scar mean she's broken?

This scar is something they cannot touch. The Northerners try to use it to demean her. To make her small. Self-conscious. Worthless.

They're scoffing at her mother's death.

Her strength.

Her beauty.

Her pride.

Her story.

And she will not allow it.
