@man--eater tagged me in her WIP Wednesday extravaganza, so I guess I'm posting about my Stolitz Fingersmith AU for the first time. Wherein they are both seventeen, and Blitzo has taken a job as an accomplice to a con artist- to become a young prince's valet and convince him to elope with the con.
Blitzo swallowed, very hard, and abruptly tried to bow for the first time since he’d stopped performing. It was a reflex to make it grandiose, to sweep out his arms and make it huge, but ah fuck the water. He caught it just in time, trying to just bend a bit at the shoulders. “Uh, your- Highness,” he half-guessed. Was that right? Striker warned him that one of them meant the prince and one was the king and getting them messed up was bad. “I’m the new, uh. Valet. The Count sent me.” Calling Striker a Count felt fucking ridiculous. Asshole. He straightened, and checked for the prince’s response. The birdlike face was unreadable, but he blinked all four of his bright red eyes at slightly different times. Creepy. The house creaked in the unbearable silence. How did these people live without any city sounds at all? “Brought this up for you,” Blitzo managed, twirling the drugged water almost elegantly. It splashed up onto his hand, and he didn’t flinch, but it was a near thing- the dress code in this place wouldn’t have allowed his gloves, so he kept his sleeves pulled down as long as possible to cover the scarring. “Reginald said you take it at night? Whenever you’re ready, I guess.” Prince Stolas tilted his head to the side, and shut his book. The noise was quiet and final in the still air. He brushed his crest of feathers back from his eyes, set the book down, and stretched until he stood, every movement haughty and debonair. He must have been at least ten feet fucking tall; Blitzo wanted to kneecap him immediately. He walked with long, even strides, barely blinking. A few steps in front of Blitzo, he leaned down, tilted his head again. Reached out his hand, sheathed in an elegant, pearl-buttoned glove, and perched his slim fingers on the glass. Then he plucked it out of Blitzo’s grip and hurled it at the wall.
Blitzo shouted, covering his head involuntarily; the drugged water left a spreading stain on the gorgeous golden wallpaper. The glass itself was in shards all over the hardwood floor. Prince Stolas stood up tall, turned around, and flounced back to his divan, his long tail brushing Blitzo’s shoulder as he went. He picked up his book, and sat back down to read.
Tagging @blitzwhore @hazbin-helluva-itch and @nyxofdemons (HI I see you in my notes I want to be friends) and @gloriousmonsters; plus @miss-spooky-eyes, who does not know what Helluva Boss is yet, but who loves Fingersmith absolutely to death and trusts me (unfortunately) to write just about anything.
#helluva boss#stolitz#wip wednesday#hb#so I was gonna call this the Handmaiden AU#after the better-known adaption of Fingersmith; The Handmaiden (2016) dir. Park Chan-wook#[both are exquisite pls watch/read]#except like ten people thought I meant. the handmaid's tale.#the margaret atwood one.#and OBVIOUSLY backed away thinking I was INSANE#so!!!! now it's the Fingersmith AU because!!! at least I get to explain what that one is!!!#before everybody runs away in fear of Gilead and forced pregnancy!!#also yes I know Stolas is not this much of a bitch in canon. he is seventeen and suffering a major Lydia Deets edgy goth phase.#give him a minute

Paul Atreides: The Sun Eating fire is your ambition: to swallow the flame down take it into your mouth and shoot it forth, a shout or an incandescent tongue, a word exploding from you in gold, crimson, unrolling in a brilliant scroll. To be lit up from within vein by vein. To be the sun. ― Margaret Atwood, Selected Poems 1: 1965-1975

Margaret Atwood sat down to write Alias Grace and she said imagine the personification of 19th century ideas about white femininity (madonna whore complex embodied in a celebrated murderess and lunatic who may also be a virginal brutalised victim and is certainly a menial domestic servant skilled in textile crafts with a submissive yet composed demeanour) and white masculinity (a spoiled upper class manbaby who immediately judges every woman he interacts with on how attractive he finds them and has nonstop violent sexual fantasies while thinking himself the pinnacle of civilisation and chivalry and rational scientific endeavour) and then showed the man fucking falling to pieces while the woman is like. you good bro

heyy if you can find anything on it, could you please do a web weave on having gone through so much but being strong through all of it and never allowing yourself to hurt? and/or maybe being jealous of other people who are able to express their hurt when you cant
i hope you're doing okay <33

If you claim to write a feminist retelling of a Greek myth and then use it to villainize all female characters but the one the story circulates around I will be feeding you to the mares of Diomedes sorry not sorry
#nihil dreams#folklore#greek mythology#YES I AM LOOKING AT ALL THE HADES/PERSEPHONE RETELLINGS#I SEE WHAT Y'ALL DO TO DEMETER#YOU TOO MARGARET ATWOOD#THE PENELOPIAD WAS STRUCTURED IN A COOL WAY#BUT DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO SHIT ON HELEN OF TROY LIKE THAT FOR LIKE NO REASON#Thank god Lore Olympus is over#Don't think Ovid's Medusa goes unnoticed either that one is incredibly nuanced too

A Llewellyn Watts centric episode AND The Urca de Lima treasure? Like from Black Sails!? This episode of Murdoch Mysteries was made for me specifically.
#murdoch mysteries#i watch this show exclusive through the scenes with watts in them#llewellyn watts#also margaret atwood was in this episode which isn't a plus necessarily but it's wild no one is talking about that#i didn't recognize her face but instead her voice from the masterclass ads i keep getting#murdoch mysteries 17x15#black sails

what if life didn’t feel like a flashback from a Handmaids Tale episode though
#like yes that’s my favourite book/show but hey what the fuck#y’know when the audience knows they need to get out? but they don’t? I don’t even live in the US for the love of christ#the handmaid's tale#also fun thing is that we are now a year away from timing out of Gilead good job everyone#rishi sunak I hate you I hate you I hate you#margaret atwood#this is worse in other countries and yes everything in THT already happened and that’s the point but there’s not even somewhere to escape#dystopia may be my favourite genre but I don’t want to live in one#dystopia#uk politics
