Thinking about Caleb “I-use-people’s-full-names-to-show-intimacy” Widogast and the way he calls Veth “Veth the Brave.” It’s not all the time—it’s rarely used, actually, saved for specific moments, only when he’s using the fondest of tones, with the most admiration, and how calling her that is more intimate than just “Veth Brenatto.” Because Veth the Brave is both of her identities. It’s Nott and it’s Veth, it’s their co-mingling, it’s her in her entirety. Veth the Brave. That’s why it’s so intimate, because he is speaking to all of who she is

Orlando's great. He's completely insane. He's quite funny without actually trying to be funny. He'll sort of sit down and he can't sit still for very long and he'll say, 'I think I need to move my car' and he'll be off. You'll be having a conversation with him and be like 'where'd he go?' I don’t think there’s anyone more unpredictable to spend time with.

-Elijah Wood in 2003.

When I first met [Viggo], we sat down in this real crusty place, the Green Parrot, and I remember not being able to hold a conversation, because I was so intimidated. There is something beautiful and quiet about Viggo, but the more I got to know him, the more I realized how insanely brilliant and crazy he is--how he has this insane wild side. Yeah, he's mental. But in a good way.

-Elijah Wood in 2003.

No wonder these two loonies got along so well.

I think these two photos were taken, if not the very last day, then on one of the last days of the original shoot, December 2000. They had spent the better part of a year being insane together by then. No holds barred.

Okay I'm back on grinding out money pins in NEO (as you do) and I'm sorry was anyone going to tell me that the overpowered Gatto Nero pins are each named after a season and the flavor text says they're engraved with the words "seasons greetings"

Implying they were released as seasonal promotions, And, someone in the UG, who had access to pins, would be able to collect them, and be able to tell what time of year it was, perhaps important because their grasp of the passage of time is shaky, wherever they are. And perhaps they could read the pin, and be protected, not just by the power of the psychs, but by knowing that, somewhere, somewhere in the real world, the person who made the pin is trying to say hello?

Or was I supposed to notice on my own and come up with this elaborate headcanon on my own?

A Newly Bloomed Tommy

Okay, this is a very goofy fic and I kind of love it so much? Please enjoy this "What if Tommy was a four-inch-tall-fae and Buck still fell in love with him?" somehow Christmas fic! Also, please forgive the banner if it's wild, I made it in the middle of the night lol 😂

A Newly Bloomed Tommy

| Pairing: BuckTommy | Rated: M | WC: 8K |

Summary: Evan "Buck" Buckley finds a four-inch-tall man in the hibiscus flower his sister recently gifted to him. He may or may not have almost instantly fallen in love with that four-inch-tall man.

Excerpt:

The man tried to speak, but all that came out was a coughing storm of pollen. Which made Buck worried. Made Buck scramble through his medicine cabinet to grab the little measuring cup for his Dayquil before rushing to the sink to get water and running back to give it to the man. And it was so big in the man’s hands. Like a man drinking from a bobbing for apples basin. But it seemed to suffice as the man took a moment to drink the water. Buck. Just. Watched. Marveled as this man the size of a soda can drank an entire thirty milliliters of water. Just. Chugged it. And, maybe it was a blessing that the measuring cup was two inches because it did at least obfuscate the man’s nakedness. He gazed up at Buck with those gripping blue eyes as he said, his voice rough, “Wow. Usually, I don’t wake up to someone in front of me.” And. That was when Buck might have screamed. Might have panicked and ran into his bathroom.

frederick chilton trying to sisterhood of the traveling pants the entire main gang back to baltimore for a final confrontation and revenge on hannibal in the first half of season three is so fucking feral. dude’s literally dancing on his own grave with that one, and yet he still never dies. that man’s got nine lives and he’s determined to use them all.

also will telling alana to leave him alone in the bitchiest way possible while they both stand in the darkened home of their runaway ex is even more feral. “i came here to be alone, alana, if you wouldn’t mind” is so fucking rude but also so fucking deserved because girlie went in there with an agenda and all after will spent an entire season warning her! who are you to judge if will wants to ignore his bae’s wrongs. YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE ALANA. GO BE HAPPY IN A NORMAL LIFE. jk i do actually love alana

Take My Phone Away #1 (for In Full Bloom)

Sometimes she would close her eyes and dream of him, but it was never Jorah Mormont she dreamed of; her lover was always younger and more comely, though his face remained a shifting shadow. Dany IV, ASOS

This has always been one of my favorite shipping fodder tidbits for JonxDany.

As Dany's dreams and visions come true, in one bookverse fic I had fun sprinkling it in like so: "bride of fire!" "how'd you know that?" "oh it just came to me" “you’re him!” “I’m who?” “oh never mind <3”

Otherwise, I usually leave it alone. But a couple of weeks ago the plot bunny started going again and I got inspired to work this into In Full Bloom with more narrative consequence. Should I talk about it? Maybe not. Will I?

Here is an excerpt from Chapter 1, when Dany is dealing with the fallout of the Meereen battle:

That was when the dreams came to her again. On the first night, she did not recognize him. But the feelings he stirred within her had made him undeniably familiar: her comely young lover. He had returned to her and was making love to her, each night. Yet he never showed himself. His face remained a shifting shadow.  He spoke to her, not so much in words, but in feeling. Hear me. I am calling out to you. I am here. She often tried to respond, but words would not serve, and feelings had become difficult to muster up. In the bitter wake of triumph over the Yunkai Alliance, something had died in her once again and struggled to be reborn. At first she could not say exactly what it was. But when Barristan Selmy passed away on the third day, somehow, by the fourth night, she could name it as joy, pride, a sense of companionship--of love overflowing and grief unsettled. She sensed that she was somehow deeply involved with this mystery man, that he had known her for a long time, for so long that his desire for her was often a simmer running through his blood. Their union was unique, the greatest choice she'd make among a lifetime of them. Could such a bond exist in this world? She was cast away by the notion, and was quickly unraveling under the strength of his pursuit of her: Whatever is in my heart lies in yours. I know that you can hear me. 

So what's happening here? It spoils a mystery, but I'd like to discuss it a bit since I'm brimming with excitement, and most readers may not find their way over here.

Now that they are the Wall, trying to ensure that free folk and black brothers who've managed to live together can now fight together--while the sheltering of Stannis's remnant at the Nightfort was made possible by an uneasy truce with the Night's Watch:

Factions at the Wall have been rather apolitical to maintain peace. It gives Dany reason to believe her magical reputation which precedes her, may bring more trouble than aid to Jon after all.

However, as she and Jon are aware that her dreams come true--for me as the writer, the joy is in him discovering this fear and working to assuage her of it, by taking her somewhere he never thought he'd have the strength to visit. Additionally, she later realizes this prophetic dream was showing her this precious time with him; they were bound to comfort each other, come hell or high water. Chapter 2 explores all of this and it will be so. much. fun.

If you got this far, thank you! I do hope you'll join me on the journey <3

Alex Rider S3 timeline

Season 1 Timeline | Misc Timeline Notes

Some facts:

For time of year we know s3 takes place in the winter, based on dialogue from Blunt and Smithers

The trees in the background during establishing shots are just as unreliable as in s2 but during actor shots they're a mix of green and barren (most notably the cherry tree in front of the Rider house), implying late winter, probably February.

I don't know anything about the British school system, but Tom mentions having taken his GCSEs in ep1 so they're presumably on holiday from whatever comes after that (sixth form? A levels? it's Maltese to me).

Now we look at the elephant in the room. John Rider:

There are two different timestamps on the recording of the bridge exchange. 06/01/2005 and 2005-05-21. Not sure what the discrepancy means but since the latter has to be May we can assume that the former is formatted for June (as opposed to January). Also, Alex wasn't born yet in January 2005.

Alex's birthday is 13 Feb, 2005 (according to a prop from s2ep8)

Julia says that Alex was six months old, but based on the time stamp he was closer to three months old (easy mistake)

John and Helen Rider's gravestone puts their deaths in 2006 and Julia says it took her six months to track them down after the bridge exchange, so that checks out

Now in the present Mrs Jones says that it's been 17 years since Scorpia was destroyed, which would make s3 take place in early 2023

Alex is about to or just turned 17 years old

And therefore he was 15 in s1 and s2

S3 takes place over the course of nine days, which I think we can all agree is absolutely ridiculous, but that's how it works out.

Day 1: Boat ride; find Julia Rothman's house; Kyra's soup accident

Day 2: Identify and research Julia; Museum art showing

Day 3: Scorpia sends threat to Kellner; Tom and Alex go to Julia's villa; Pritchard gets blown up; Alex sneaks into Consanto and it blows up too; Alex goes to Malagosto

Day 4: Scorpia kills the footballers; Tom and Kyra get arrested; Julia tells Alex about his dad getting killed on the bridge; and Yassen! Is here!

Day 5: The assault course and the water bottle; shooting challenge; getting beat up by the other trainees; Pritchard's funeral; Tom and Kyra trace the call to Malagosto and Nile tries to send them home; the incursion assessment

Day 6: Shinai (Bokken) 5 on 1; Department calls Scorpia back and Scorpia gives them three days; Kyra and Tom find Malagosto; Smithers and Crawley find Julia's litter; Syl graduates; Jack gets a delivery from Tom; Max Grendel gets Yassassinated

Day 7: Everyone gets back to London; Blunt asks the CIA for help; Alex and Yassen surveil Jones' flat; Jack, Kyra, and Tom go to the Department; Navy Seals raid Malagosto; Alex doesn't kill Jones and gets sent back to the Department

Day 8: Nile sets up in the big church; Crawley takes Alex home; Blunt and Julia do storytime for Alex and Yassen

Day 9: Alex goes back into the Department; MI5 try to take Alex; Alex calls Julia for a pickup; a bunch of people in Bath don't die; Blunt retires; Alex comes in and gets John's medals; Nile gets Yassassinated
