FIC AND RELATED NONSENSE AD MOMENT!

IF you have not read The Stars Claim Them as a Magnus Archives and Mechanisms fan, why should you do so?

Slow burn fun times!

We are trekking, we are moving along, and the story is continuing!

This is an excellent time to get into things, as I, your author, am currently on a bit of a break with posting, and will be back to a regular posting schedule in the near future.

What is the story about?

(. . . insert word count joke here)

Becca.

All right, here's a quick summary :) Lyfrassir Edda, the viewpoint character of the Bifrost Incident, survives the apocalypse, and eventually ends up crashlanding on Earth before the events of the Magnus Archives and getting very involved in things. Events spiral from there. We've got Mechanisms, we've got TMA folks, we've got a few too many Michaels, we've got some OCs I love a lot, we've got unexpected leaps back into Mechanisms albums. . . I've been having a blast for the past two and a half years, and I hope you all have a blast too.

IF you at one point have read any part of The Stars Claim Them. . .

This is a perfect opportunity to catch up! I've been taking a break from regular posting since finishing posting the fourth part, and I'll not be returning to that until I've got enough of a buffer built up that I feel comfortable posting once a week again. As well, we've got some fun stuff, like a fun and very normal discord server, some side stories and AUs I've written over the past year or so and the like. I hope you have a blast!

If you're interested in the discord server and haven't seen a link before, let me know and I can shoot you a link!

[the-voldsoy]

no bc why did Every piece of media i like decide that they had to put out new content Right The Fuck Now i cannot keep up with it all

[g-does-art]

There are like 10 people who are going to get this but ah well.

My, @crowned-as-king ‘s, @cerealisafunbath ‘s, and @astralsyst3m ‘s characters we’ve been using to harass Lyf on the @lyfrassireddatsct RP blog. Come watch us torture this poor space cop in real time if you’d like, or join in on the heckling.

So far we’ve given a guy a gender identity crisis, summoned two geese onto Lyf’s ship (one of which was sent out the airlock, the other got its neck snapped), harassed them with Will Wood and violin music, and tried to explain what a bird is to them. Fun stuff.

[insignificantmortalsshouldsuffer]

well, do we want to be together? let me fuse into you and put all my desire and effort and Effort ;) into you? i suppose, a date? as much as time doesnt work, we could go out together on one.

- 🎃

When are you free? Of course, time is irrelevant. I will find you. See you soon.

i exclusively express my enjoyment of media through quality depictions of characters and scenes

which is why ive created this masterpiece featuring @rainbowstargazerlilies marius in That One Dream

really i just saw this meme on my instagram and thought ‘haha thats so marius. … wait a minute..’

and thus this was born. also have a regular colour version

[jack-magnet]

lyf 360 cause i need something to do

the asterisks say: lyf because marius thinks they love someone else

(from the fic series the stars claim them by @rainbowstargazerlilies)

[ifthestarsarewilling]

yet more tsct lyf. this one set after one of the times they punched the crawling chaos because those scenes make me laugh and i, personally, believe the crawling chaos needs to be punched more. anyways did yall know that shading is really hard

So apparently this is what happens when the Stars Claim Them CELLO MADE OF STARLIGHT AND A BOW OF A COMET'S TAIL brainrot really hits

From a joke about Lyfrassir having the same amount of syllables as Guinevere and Marius calling them starlight to a WHOLEASS COVER (featuring cello and violin by Musescore)

Lyrics under the read more!

Verse 1: (Marius)

Oh my love, raise a glass to all we’ve left behind

You may end up dead, and I cannot lose you yet

But if you don’t return to me, if I don’t see you again

Then tonight let’s drown our sorrows down with whiskey

Lyfrassir, you’re my stars that shine against the night

And I know you’ve got to leave me at the dawn’s first light

And I’m not saying this path you’ve chosen isn’t right

But first let’s fuel a few more sins with whiskey

Verse 2: (Lyf)

Marius, you’re a fool to drink your bottle dry

Whiskey kills your fear, and knowing you you’ll need that near

Cause I don’t know what you’re doing but it’s pro’bly dangerous

And I love you but you stink to hell of whiskey

I know I’ll sound crazy but you must believe me

I’ve been spending my years fighting ‘gainst the Entities

It’s not just the Bifrost there’s least another fourteen

But since I’m here, come on now, pass the whiskey

Verse 3: (Lyf and Marius)

Drain your glass, get ready, for we’re waking up

We must rejoin our fights, there’s no more time for respite

And I promise that I will see you again

And I’ll be here with another glass of whiskey

Maybe this is real, or maybe this is fake

But I won’t leave you too soon, I won’t make the same mistake

[BOTH]

We’re not pure of heart, but we’re sure of aim

And our heads are full of love and blood and whiskey

Verse 4: (Lyf and Marius)

There’s a dream that I’ve had, whenever I have died

Of an empty void, with music flowing like the tide

But lately it’s been quiet and I know something is wrong

So I must keep up the music, keep up the fight

I don’t understand all of this but I’ll be here

I’ll stand by your side and we’ll face our fear

But you can’t be by my side when I am in that void

Then I’ll think of you, and hold you whene’er you’re near me

Finally made fanart for the stars claim them by @rainbowstargazerlilies

Technically not an actual scene, just a hypothetical that should not be considered inspiration at all

Plain background here and a swirly optical illusion one under the cut

Edit: if you’re here via a link the cut doesn’t work, if you don’t do well with optical illusions or moving flashing colours do not scroll up or down, just click the first images

[starry-teacup]

Me on chapter 148 of this goddamn slow burn as the characters who call each other darling and starlight and make out on occasion and refer to each other as their anchors question whether their love is reciprocated and thus doom themselves to another eternity of maddening purgatory: FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK.

[twasforresearch]

thinking about the edda siblings again brenn is from @rainbowstargazerlilies's the stars claim them fic series, which is now longer than the bible

[rainbowstargazerlilies]

And chapter 2 is up! I should be able to post regularly for the next little bit, too, given my buffer. Thanks to everyone who's read this far, and hope you enjoy!
