charles_leclerc The happiest of birthdays to the love of my life. Today, the world became an even better place because it gained someone so kind and loving - you. For one of your many gifts, I've picked out a few songs to better encapsulate the way I feel about you and just how thankful I am I got to live in the same life as you.

1. She Chose Me - Bruno Major

"Every night I thank the lucky stars above me, someone as beautiful as she could freely love me and she really loves me. From time to time I ask myself, why was it I and nobody else? The most beautiful girl that I'd ever seen and she chose me."

Eternally grateful I get to call you mine. Despite the highs and lows we have battled together, you chose me - how privileged am I?

charles_leclerc 2. Baby I'm Yours - Arctic Monkeys

"Baby, I'm yours and I'll be yours until the sun no longer shines, yours until the poets run out of rhyme. In other words, until the end of time."

Okay this one I admit I just liked the melody but hey, the lyrics are for sure accurate, yes? I remember when we sang this at 3AM because we both couldn't sleep. But it couldn't be more right - I'm yours and I always will be, for as long as you'd have me.

charles_leclerc 3. Beyond by Leon Bridges

"I'm scared to death that she might be it, that the love is real, that the shoe might fit. She might just be my everything and beyond, space and time in the afterlife,"

You are everything to me, chérie. When I first realized that I loved you, it shook me to my core. I was terrified of how greatly I felt for you; but here you are, the greatest thing that ever happened to me. You were the leap of faith I will always be thankful for and the only sure thing amongst all uncertainties. Have the happiest of birthdays ❤️

Happily Ever After...Soon Enough, Anyways

05/31/2023 - 06/09/2023

Pairing: Malleus Draconia x Reader

Word Count: 964

Warnings: Nothing that I can think of!

Gender: AFAB

Tags: @rose-the-witch1, @pyroxeene, @moldy-cheeto

In which Malleus and Y/N are in the midst of planning their wedding and shenanigans arise.

"Do we really have to do a full wedding? Can't we just elope?" Malleus Draconia asked his future wife.

"And where exactly did you learn about elopements?" A teasing voice called out from the room next door. A figure peaked her head through the doorway, amused by the utter exasperation littered in her beloved's voice.

"Lilia told me that some humans have a practice where they just skip all the actual wedding formalities. Apparently it is quite popular these days." Malleus said, fingers tracing the edges of his tea cup. "It'll be just us, and of course, my grandmother to officiate our marriage. Oh, and we can invite just Lilia as our one guest. We won't have to worry about pleasing the nobles, or the elders, or any one else."

Y/N felt that for her sake, Malleus didn't mention not wanting to deal with her self-proclaimed father, Crowley, and much less her actual adoptive father Crewel and her old friend, Vil Schoenheit. She could understand why Malleus simply wished to forgo any and all tradition and skip right to the part where they vow to be the ones for each other, forever and always (not that they hadn't already vowed that).

Setting down her own cup of tea, Y/N studied Malleus' features. Nothing much had really changed from their time in NRC, except his eyes seemed almost...older now. Perhaps it was the maturity of graduating school and becoming the king of an entire realm. Or perhaps it was because planning a wedding was simply too much work for him.

"But Darling, I thought that you were rather excited about planning a wedding with me?" Y/N asked.

"That was until you dragged Schoenheit into helping Dear." Chided the old (but young) fae. Y/N almost laughed, seeing the barely-there pout forming on his face.

"I didn't drag him into helping Mal, he did that himself."

"But you could have stopped him, I thought that we were doing just fine on our own."

"But you can't deny that he has an extremely good eye for these kinds of things. And this was something he genuinely wanted to do for me. Isn't that nice of him?"

"Not when he takes up all your time and runs me down with far too many choices, which, might I add, all look the same."

Ah. So that's what's got him so grumpy in the morning midday. Chuckling to herself, Y/N made her way to Malleus, sitting on his lap, and snaking her arms around his neck, pulling him down so that she could press a chaste kiss to the side of his cheek.

"Let's just run away together." Malleus suggested, eyes practically glowing at the idea.

"But what about the cake? And all the people who are coming to see us? And all the decorations we've already placed orders for?" Y/N asked. "And what about-" a peck to the forehead silenced her.

Looking up at the horned fae, Y/N asked in a gentle whisper, "Do you remember what you told me when you proposed to me?"

"How could I forget, my Beloved?" Malleus smiled as he remembered.

"Yes, oh my god, yes! Of course I'll marry you!" Y/N exclaimed, with her hands over her mouth. Malleus slid the ring (which he'd safeguarded in his hoarde) around Y/N's finger. He brought up her hand, admiring the shiny stone that now adorned it, and delicately kissed her knuckles.

Laughing in joy, Y/N threw her arms around Malleus, as he picked her up and spun her around, with the wind dancing along with them. "I'm going to need a much cheaper ring so that I can use it every day. This ring belongs in a safety deposit box." Joked Y/N.

"What's a safety deposit box?" Malleus asked, head tilted to the side.

"You didn't even know what a safety deposit box was back then~" Y/N teased, booping Malleus' nose. A breathy chuckle escaped Malleus's lips. Truth be told, it just seemed like an over-glorified dragon's hoarde, but Malleus didn't think to tell Y/N that just yet.

"If you really want to turn this into a elopement, I won't stop you. What matters most to me is what you want." Y/N said.

Malleus could feel his heart swell at how thoughtful his significant other was. He truly lucked out with this one. At that moment, a familiar tune began ringing. Y/N sprung up (much to Malleus' dismay) to attend to her phone.

He watched her eyes light up when she read the caller's ID. So definitely not Schoenheit or Leona for that matter. Maybe it was Ace and Deuce. He hadn't seen them in a while. Were they still up to their usual shenanigans from their time in school? Or maybe the caller is...

"WHAT!?" Y/N screamed with all her might. Malleus whipped his head to study her features. What could have possibly gotten her as angry as she was in a matter of seconds? The fae walked over to his beloved, keen on comforting her when the next words that came out of her mouth stopped him in his track.

"Please tell me someone has the rings?" Y/N begged, pinching her forehead. Malleus listened in on the conversation, trying to gain more information about the now (possibly) missing rings. In the mean time, Y/N inhaled a sharp breath, before cutting her call. Before the King of the Valley of Thorns could question his future wife about the news she'd received, said person slowly turned her head to him, now very much seething.

"I'm going to murder Grim." Y/N promised.

It seemed that Ace and Deuce (and Grim apparently) still hadn't let go of their shenanigans...

Author's Note: Oh my goodness do I not like this fic. I started writing this fanfic feeling so confident about my idea and everything, but then as I was writing it, I just couldn't find myself in the usual headspace I'm in when I write my usual (and better) fics.

This is the first work for the @briarvalleyarchives that I've written. I missed the first month's prompt, and nearly missed this month's prompt (weddings) if it weren't for the lovely @pyroxeene giving us some more time to finish writing.

I honestly really liked the concept I had in mind when I started writing this fic (although it turned out very different), so I may very well end up rewriting this in the future!

Story garden tag

Thanks for the tag @agirlandherquill @thatuselesshuman this looks like a fun one

Rules: Use the given starting sentences for each paragraph, start to construct a story, then share it and add your own starters, and keep the story going!

The starting sentences are in bold

Endings are inevitable, but what about beginnings? When does one story conclude, and another starts? Why am I asking you this? I honestly don’t know. Maybe it is because these may be my last moments alive, and I am afraid of what comes next. Read this account carefully, and set it into your heart so that you will never forget.

The burn of the fire could never compare to the bite of the cold that has sunk its teeth into unwilling flesh and refused to let go. I know it sounds overly dramatic, but have you ever been in a situation where you question everything you held dear? When all reason abandons you, your sanity slowly seeps out of every pore, and you feel like you are losing your humanity?

Trouble sought them out through the storms, through nightmares-there was no escape, not even now. The naive, the dreamer, the one who fears no god and laughs at the face of death. They are just asking for karma to destroy everything they hold dear. Had I known what lay insides that cursed sea, I would have stayed in that tavern and swore to never sail again.

Why do the dead never seem to stay dead? What drives them to keep haunting those they knew in life? Is it the guilt of those they haunt? Or does sheer will and malice drive them to follow and pursue people until they can no longer take it? I’ve carried many ghosts around me over the years. Some continually keep me company, others have faded away, or have made peace with me. Yet there was one I never expected to see again: you.

If you could leave me again, would you? I know this is a sensitive subject. I do not blame you for being mad at me (but did you really have to put your sword between my ribs?) When I found out that I was going to spend half a year on a tiny ship with you, I expected the worst. Yet we stayed away and never spoke to each other for the first month. Yet I could see the daggers in your eyes. In your head, you weighed all my sins. So it came as a complete surprise when you first spoke to me.

20 questions for fic writers

I was tagged by @andromeda4004, thank you dear 🥰 Always an interesting game to play, share, and reflect!

How many works do you have on ao3?

17

What's your total ao3 word count?

313,513

What fandoms do you write for?

I launched my AO3 account with a Red Dead Redemption fanfic, and then I discovered Good Omens, and then... well, you know how it goes with this fandom ❤️ That being said, I also had fun exploring the seas during the golden age of piracy (Our Flag Means Death) and the lands of a Norse God (Loki).

Top five fics by kudos:

For His Eyes Only (GO - James Bond AU, M rated, 69K)

Getting Closer (GO - fluffy post-S1 fic, G rated, 3K)

To the End of the Ocean (OFMD - post-S1 fic, M rated, 71K)

Whatever Comes After (RDR - canon divergence AU, M rated, 84K)

Ties & Other Obsessions (Loki - 5+1 fic, T rated, 4K)

Do you respond to comments?

Always! I treasure each and every one of them ❤️ But I have to confess that these past few months have been a bit hard (not much energy, unfortunately), and I'm still trying to catch up on all the lovely comments I've received.

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Mmh, good question... I'm afraid I don't know how to do that 🙃 Even the last fic I wrote for the GO historical minisode event (Shadow & Light) was supposed to end on an angsty note, and at the last minute, I decided to add a happy epilogue! But if we're talking bittersweet ending, then it would be Sharp Endings & New Beginnings, a post-S2 Loki fic... If you've seen the show, then you know 🌳

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Hard to say, considering my previous answer 😇 but all the long fics listed above have a very happy ending!

Do you get hate on fics?

I did, once, on my OFMD fic... It was a shock, but also an interesting experience: it pushed me to question my narrative choices (and, in the end, confirm them).

Do you write smut?

I do... And I have a second AO3 account dedicated to it 😎 (I wonder how many people will reach this part of the tag game and find this out, eheh)

Craziest crossover:

None for now... (For His Eyes Only cannot be considered a crossover since Crowley is basically James Bond 😎).

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think so!

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! @pavel-pedro has started to translate To the End of the Ocean in Russian... and whether it will be one day finished or not (I know how time-consuming such a work can be!), I'll forever be grateful for the gesture ❤️

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I'm currently co-writing a fic, actually, with my lovely friend @sabotage-on-mercury: a GO/Fleabag AU! We're taking our time for all sorts of reasons, but we want to make sure we deliver quality content, considering the source materials!

All time favorite ship?

The Ineffable Partners, of course. How can you beat a relationship between two beings who have known each other for millennia and have gone through all sorts of ups and downs, down here and out there?

Or, as Neil would say: why? Love ❤️

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

*insert awkward look monkey puppet meme* I don't know, man... I have too many WIPs piling up lately, and not enough energy to work seriously on any of them... I do hope I'll finish all of my GO WIPs someday. But the one WIP I doubt I'll ever come back to (although it makes me sad because the outline I have for this story is WILD) is the sequel of my long RDR fic, called What We Owe to Each Other.

What are your writing strengths?

I've been told several times that I'm good at capturing a character's voice, and that makes me really happy. I'm a huge cinephile and good dialogues, "natural" dialogues, are so important - I'm glad to be able to consider this as one of my strengths! I would like to say developing a plot, too - I love writing long fics and exploring characters' arcs - but I think I'm still too close to the source material for now to consider it a real strength... Room to grow!

What are your writing weaknesses?

I'm a slow writer; I need to develop my ability to use imagery and metaphors; and I need better organization when it comes to writing drafts and editing the whole thing!

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

Well... I'm French and I write my stories in English + I work as a translator, so... Yes to dialogues in other languages, always (then translated, of course)!

First fandom you wrote in?

I'm not exactly sure, but it must have been between those three: Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and Artemis Fowl (ah, teenage years!).

Favorite fic you've written?

That's a hard one... Whatever Comes After will forever have a special place in my heart since it's the fic that 1/ brought me back to writing 2/ helped me prove to myself that I was able to complete a long story. Senses & Sensitivity was my first fic for the GO fandom, and 1/ it made me feel confident to write more for the Ineffable Partners 2/ I made some great connections thanks to it (hello @hasturswig! ❤️). I don't think I've ever had more fun than when I was writing For His Eyes Only (and the enthusiastic comments along the way really helped! ❤️). But, to finish, I'd like to mention When All Is Said and Done, a GO fanfic in the South Downs that just poured out of me after the S2 finale... It really made me experience the magic of writing again.

If you've reached the end, thank you for reading! Feel free to ask me anything... And to consider yourself tagged if you want to play this game, too! ❤️

[sweetestpopcorn]

I realise I have too much faith in humanity when after having spent two years now asking that REDACTED be kept off my spaces and comment sections I am STILL receiving redacted comments. At least one was to complain, though my dear, I don't care because I don't watch that sh:t and I am just counting the days until Renada dies and we can all move along with our lives happier, but another one was sharing their excitement that it will be better because of all the action and I am here like:

Question to redacted fans: Why can't you not bring it up in spaces where people directly ask you to not bring it up? Is it that hard? Is this a form of Tourette's?

Do I seem like the person who you should be rebloging and using the #redacted tag? Do I look like I like sh:t?

I feel like a major b:tch that I have to keep reminding people and once again I had to add a warning to my latest chapter.

Look me in the screen, do you see me rebloging any redacted images? Gifs? B:tch, I don't even reblog fanart with the redacted tag! I absolutely hate that joke of a show and the mockery the characters I loved in the books were turned into!

We have girlboss b:tch "I hate my kids and everyone who is not Alicia" Renada -> I cannot WAIT for this b:tch to die because BY THE GODS I have not seen a character be this unlikable since "Catherine" in the Spanish Princess. We have Limp D_ck Matt Damon. We have scholar diet Almond Milk. We have AU wtf if Jaehaera was given Helaena's life. And so much more.

You like it? Amazing, and I have great news, you will find SO MANY spaces online to gush about it. But in mine you won't.

Fanfic Writer Questions

Tagged by @greypetrel - thank you so much! 💗

I know this has made the rounds already. If I tag you and you've already done it, please feel free to tag me in the replies or disregard!

Tagging: @nightwardenminthara @vakarians-babe @transprincecaspian @star--nymph @blightbear @inquisimer @dreadfutures @scribbledquillz

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

43

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

688,185

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Published? Just Dragon Age. But I have some unfinished/unpublished Mass Effect and Baldur's Gate stuff as well.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

All of these are Cullavellan fic:

Your Fate for Mine (129,681 Words | E)

More Than Memory (5,214 Words | E)

Search Your Hands (13,581 Words | E)

Unyielding (3,083 Words | M)

The Epaulet Mate (7,303 Words | E)

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yes, though more slowly than I used to!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Ooh. Probably The Scourge of Sundermount, though it wound up less angsty than the original ending (in which Cullen and Lavellan are turned to stone forever)

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I'm a sucker for a happy ending, so this is much harder to answer! I am avoiding answering this with the obvious innuendo haha. Maybe In Any Life? I feel like the vibe of that last chapter is so very soft, with a spring breeze blowing through the window in the house Fenris and Maria made together c:

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I've gotten some snarky comments, but never outright hate (thankfully!)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes--not sure what is meant by "kind." M/F and F/F--soft and gentle, hard and fast, mildly kinky, plot-relevant and pwp, etc. A variety of smut, haha.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Not really. Crossovers aren't really my jam, but if I wrote one it would probably be Inquisition characters in Mass Effect (like a genre switch thing, not picked up and dropped into our solar system).

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

When I was like 13 on FF.net, yes. It's why I stopped writing fic until I was 28.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know of!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Only in a sense! I have a few pieces sharing an OC with a friend that were largely rp first before I set them down as a narrative c:

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

God. Don't ask me this haha. My first DA ship was Fenris/Hawke and it still lives so closed to my heart, but Cullen/Lavellan got me into the fandom and Zevran/Tabris brought me someone very dear to me. I don't think I could ever judge any of them by the merits of the ship alone at this point!

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Hmmm more than I'd like to admit :/ Probably The Red Crossing Arrangement, which is an arranged marriage/Halamshiral still belongs to the elves AU. It took so much more world building that my ability to write it slowly petered out. The odds are high that it will remain at roughly 80k for the foreseeable future (unless I suddenly want to get back to working out trade routes and governance and commerce, which is what did me in; I'm good at world-building culture on account of the degree and all, but the semantics of daily life don't really interest me as much) (tragically, this means the Adalene and Elandrin fix-it portions of this story may never be published :C and this does honestly make me so sad :C)

16. What are your writing strengths?

Voice and characterization/internal dialogue. I've been told that the canon characters I write feel very similar to canon and that's something I'm really proud of c:

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Physical space. I forget to define the setting very, very frequently. It's the next thing I want to focus on in my writing, actually, when I get back into it!

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Eh. I think it can add flavor, especially in fantasy settings where the cultures and worlds are built dissimilarly to the real world. I don't think there's anything especially fun about not being able to discern what's happening in conversation---I think it's most effective when it's a handful of phrases that repeat (hello, I'm sorry, I love you, etc.) or when followed by a translation of some sort. As a lover of Latin, I especially find google translations very unreliable and often incorrect. Better to just italicize it and indicate it's another language, imo.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Code Lyoko

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Oof. It depends on when you ask me this haha. For the moment, I think I'm loving As Two Reflected Stars a little extra right now c: I just love wound-tending and idiots in love and this is definitely both!

[picnokinesis]

Hi!

(A mild panic on the topic of: This is not a question, oh god, this is NOT a question. This is a recommendation of a fandom at BEST.)

So I was reading a fic one day and my brain went very quickly in succession:

a) /Oh/, this is the good stuff

b) No wonder you think so, remember spydoc telepathy edition (And you, Taka, are like an ambassador of that land in my mind)

c) Actually many fics from this fandom are like this

d) Do we think…?

So I had two facts:

1. This is a thing someone I have a great respect for would probably enjoy.

2. There was no indication Taka has seen or engaged in the fandom of Pacific Rim. Despite its notoriety in this neck of the woods due to the concept of drifting in particular.

And what I am doing with those facts is telling you this. I think you are great and I think you would like the fics of Pacific Rim. So if you feel like checking it out, it’s very low effort on entrance. Only one movie to see. Or two. Depends who you ask.

Here are two excerpts to judge for yourself. (Is this a spoiler? I know people for whom this would be a spoiler. For me it’s a tester.)

1) What’s a Little B&E Between Friends? By VoiceOfNurse (Part 20, Chapter 1)

No need to reach for the void, when he was so complete, nestled up against the part of Them that was Hermann. 

…safe… 

Newt was aware, in as much as Hermann was aware. It was difficult to separate himself out, when Hermann’s mind was locked around him like a steel trap made of numbers and chalk dust and spite. They were one organism in two parts- four lungs, drawing breath, two hearts beating in time. There was cold, and there was pain, but it was far away. 

There is no room for (masters-monsters-precursors) here. They are (insects-vermin-insignificant) when faced with (memory-language-connection). We are (brilliant-unstoppable-rockstars). We are (music-logic-science). We are (Newt-and-Hermann) and they are nothing. 

2) What’s a Little B&E Between Friends? By VoiceOfNurse (Part 20, Chapter 2)

They were Drifting. Tendo couldn’t quite work out the whys and hows of it, especially now that he was being bitten to within an inch of his fucking life, but he was certain. He’d hurt Hermann by moving too fast, probably jostled the guy’s leg, actually, which was folded weirdly under him with Newt on top, but the closest set of teeth bit him. Newt wasn’t even conscious in the traditional sense of the word, but Hermann was. Hermann was, and apparently Newt’s teeth were available to rectify the situation. Newt’s urges, too, because Tendo didn’t really picture Hermann as a biter. 

HELLO MY FRIEND oh my days I'm SO sorry but I'm laughing so much because this probably happened because tumblr search function is useless but 'no indication' sksksksk, oh my sweet summer child: here's the pacific rim tag on my blog LMAO - or, even better, the entire pacrim au I came up with for s12 of doctor who one time. Also. Also. Buddy. This is so funny, I love you so much. Are you aware that I'm obsessed with the works of one of the biggest Pacific Rim fanfic writers ever? I did, to be fair, literally take their name off my blog description yesterday to replace it with Bloodywood instead, and I'm more on the Stargate Universe side of things these days - but cleanwhiteroom is one of my favourite authors, and I read Designations Congruent with Things before I touched any of their Stargate material. If, my dear anon, you've not heard of cwr, then I really highly recommend their stuff, but I'll add a link below and see if I can dig up the other fic that I really loved from back in the day. Thank you for the fic rec though!! Those excerpts look excellent haha, I shall check that fic out when I get chance because you're absolutely right I love that kind of thing.

(also, absolutely DELIGHTED that you read this sort of stuff and thought of me - that is SUCH an honour oh my days! Like...rancid spydoc telepathy ambassador....what a title, I'm dead chuffed at this haha bless you!)

I think this is just so funny to me because - you couldn't possibly know this, of course, but like you know where I got this from? This love for writing weird, messed up mental connections between people?

Pacific Rim fanfiction HAHAHAHAHA

(and, later SGU - but I mean, mostly just cleanwhiteroom tbh. I was 16yo and I imprinted okay. But there were also other fics too, and they had an influence. Guh, Newt/Hermann post-drift fics are PEAK man)

Okay but actually let me tell you the story of how I got into pacrim because I think it's hilarious. So most people get into fandoms by like, yknow. Watching the film, reading the book, seeing the show, etc. I mean, how else would you do it? I'll tell you how. I was pottering about on deviantArt, back in the the grand old year of - oh, it must have been 2014. 2015? Something like that. Anyway, I stumbled across some Newt and Hermann fanart, and I didn't know the fandom but I was intrigued and REALLY liked the artstyle (I think the artist was feriowind?) - anyway I went on their profile and was MORE intrigued when I found they'd done some gorgeous cover art for THIS FIC, which got me so curious that I decided to read it. Without having watched the film. What I did was: read the plot summary on wikipedia, watched a couple of newt and hermann fanvids/clips (LIKE THIS ONE) so I could see them/hear their voices right, and then just blitz on through the fic with google images open in another tab so I could google thing like 'the shatterdome' and 'the LOCCENT pacific rim' and stuff like that for visual reference SKKSSK. Damn this is a throwback, I'm having a great time. ANYWAY. Read the fic. Loved it. Read the sequel. LOVED IT. Started looking for more fanart and stuff like that - and found a bunch of people kept on mentioning this fic called Designations Congruent with Things. Searched it up, found it on ao3, read the first 6 chapters and it almost melted my brain LMAO so I stopped. Then I couldn't stop thinking about it and I came back to it and oh my days. Oh my days. It fully rewrote my brain and DAMN I was obsessed. By this point I was vibrating in place at the mere thought of actually SEEING THE FILM, YKNOW. The film I'd read hundreds of thousands of words of fanfic about. Anyway, my friend who got secret santa for me that year literally had the easiest job on the planet HAHAHAHA so I watched it on Christmas Day and it was so so funny because like. You probably are aware of how much damn lore this film has. Like I knew the names of most of the jaegers that aren't even mentioned in the movie, I knew about Caitlin Lightcap and Sergio D'onofrio, but I had NO IDEA what was extended canon and what was fanon and what was actually. Y'know. In the film. So when I watched it I was like BUT WHERE'S LIGHTCAP for most of it HAHAHAH, but yeah it was great. SO GREAT. Guh I love the concept of the drift SO SO MUCH it's absolutely fascinating and just. AHH!! So so good.

Anyway. Absolutely losing it, bless. Sorry this is all over the place, I'm very tired but my goodness. Yes. Talk to me about drift bonds any day of the week, I'm here for it. If you want cleanwhiteroom fics, you can find them here. I linked the other one above, but there were a couple of others I read too...like I read a LOT of fics, and this was before I had an ao3 account rip so I don't have it in my fic reading history. There was one called Occam's Razor that I read a lot of, but I don't think I finished it. OH but I also liked this one (that i thought I found but it turned out to be the wrong one, am looking again now lol), from after Pacific Rim 2!! Which, as a film, I mostly consider to just be like. A fanfic with an exceptionally high budget ksksksks so yknow. I don't hate it because I don't consider it canon as much as I consider anything outside the original film canon. ANYWAY LOVE YOU

Photo 2: “Peter Tork has his banjo but never played it with the choir that I remember but He was a really good musician and I remember him playing at the Lady. [...] I've heard some of his live stuff on tape that he did at the Sleeping Lady and was blown away by how great he really was as a musician.” - Marla Hunt Hanson, Facebook, January 3, 2021

“Peter showed me some banjo picking patterns... he was a nice guy fun to play music with.” - David Carlson, Facebook, January 2021

“To us, he wasn’t famous, he was just Peter. [...] He was just a sweet, dear man that, you know, everybody loved... He was just a good guy. You know, ‘Sleep on the couch, have a good one. You know, we love you. Come on in.’ [...] His destiny in this lifetime was with The Monkees. We were like his backup friends, or his backup band, whatever you want to call it.He came to us wounded, like a wounded bird, really. […] He never really got to escape from being one of The Monkees. It was very hard, you know, it was hard for him. I wish we could have given him more. [...] I said to him, ‘Well, why are you going back when they treated you so badly, and blah blah blah?’ And he said, they offered him something he couldn’t turn down, something like that, so it had to do with money of course, because… so, yeah, he went back, poor thing. God bless him. [...] [W]hen you’re a Monkee, the fans will come out of, you know, somehow they’ll seep in through the furnace floor or a little crack in the window. You’re always on display, you’re always having someone looking at you or tagging at you or pulling at you or saying, ‘God, I remember that episode…’You know, and you’re always having to be on the stage or on— in gear, or answering with a smile to your fan group, whatever that is. You’re trained to do that through the industry itself. You know, anyway, I don’t want to go that far. In this group consciousness that he was a part of for a short period of time, he didn’t have to do that. He just didn’t have to do that. And that’s why I think that was — he’ll never forget that group or the Sleeping Lady however many lifetimes he lives. And I’ll tell you this, he was happy in a very strange way for as long as he was there with us. He was happy in a different way, not in the way that you are when you’re famous. In the way you are when you’re happy. [...] Someone like Peter Tork, who shines a light out onto this world, can only shine as brightly as we allow them to. […] When you see a flame, move back and let it shine, don’t go in there and try to get it, because the reason that it’s alive is because it’s got oxygen, air, and there’s not a lot of moths hanging out around it trying to, you know, take its life. I think a lot of that is true about Peter. That’s how — what I think.” - Marla Hunt Hanson, interview with the Nesmith Tork Goffin & King podcast, February 2020

"Back in Marin. Peter Tork began to hang out at the Sleeping Lady. (He works there as a waiter now). One night The Fairfax Street Choir was there. He was amazed, saw a home, and joined. He grins as he adds: ‘In some ways I was a cold, lonely hitchhiker being picked up by a warm school bus.’ [...] He’s happy. Content. And hopeful. For the Choir. And himself." - San Diego Reader, December 6, 1973 (originally published in the Chicago Reader; interview conducted by Chuck Stepner) (read more here)

“What a group! 35 voices strong; some harmonies! It was something, very encouraging, very comforting.” - Peter Tork, Goldmine, May 1982 (x)

Peter Tork: "As soon as The Monkees was over, I went to Marin County to try to recapture some of my Greenwich-Village-days happiness, and I did. I was very, I was very lucky, there was a lovely scene in Fairfax, Marin County, and I had a great time up there for a couple of years, worked as a waiter in a cooperative restaurant and it was great, it was actually great. The thing about The Monkees, it was so difficult, was to be yanked out of — off the street, flung to the pinnacle and then, you know, and then dropped.” Q: “Yeah.” PT: “So, so I went back to the street, where I’d, you know, gotten my roots together. It was great.” - GOLD 104.5, 1999 (x)

WIP WYGTYA (because it's very much *not* Wednesday)

I've been tagged by @mareenavee @dirty-bosmer and also, @thelavenderelf tagged me a few Wednesdays ago. Tha knyou so much, my dears 💖💖

This is a little snippet from chapter 14 of WYGTYA (you guys, so much is happening in this one,, I am EXCITED). I decided to add this one in this challenge because I'm in my Hjaldir feels.

~

Frozen ash is slowly falling on the ground. The lantern in the market is still burning, as if it’s alive and determined to keep the village safe and embraced in light. It’s beautiful: how they never put the light in the middle of the village out, as if it’s the soul of everything. The buildings still have wounds from the dragon battle. Some burnt wood here, some bent trees there and benches which stay not-exactly-where-they’ve-been-before. But everything in the Skaal Village is still standing, just like its people. She takes a deep breath and closes her eyes. She remembers the tune. That gods-damned tune that Hjaldir kept singing to her to fall asleep. She vaguely remembers the feeling of drifting to sleep to the sound of his voice, feeling content, as if he sang directly to her soul. She starts humming.

          Slow down, you crazy child

          You're so ambitious for a juvenile

          But then if you're so smart

          Tell me why are you still so afraid, mmm?

She remembers the wonder only a kid could have about these lyrics, looking to find their meaning, even though she knew well enough that she was going to relate to them some day, after growing up and living more. 

          Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?

          You'd better cool it off before you burn it out

          You've got so much to do

          And only so many hours in a day, ay

She smiles to herself, thinking that Hjaldir might have accidentally found the perfect song to awaken the nostalgia in her when she got older. She wonders if he knew she would seek this song from the depths of her memories to soothe her later on in life. Probably. He knew a lot of things about her, even before she knew them herself.

“It’s beautiful.” Fenrik says from behind, making her wonder just for how long he’d been standing there. 

“I used to go to sleep to songs like this.” she smiles, not yet turning to face him, but savouring the moment, the memory and hanging onto it a bit more. 

“The perks of having a bard around while growing up, no?” he leans on the railing beside her. 

“I miss him, Fenrik. I really do. I-” but the knot in her throat doesn’t let her go on. She feels terrible for leaving him like that and never returning. She was to go back to him as soon as she ended the Dark Brotherhood, but dragons came back in the meantime, and Akatosh chose her to be the Dragonborn, of all people. After a few silent moments, she says: “I really hope he is okay.” 

“I’m sure he is. He’s a pirate, is he not? Pirates are a different breed. Stronger and more resilient. Just look at Deathbrand.” 

“Even Deathbrand died. And now we’re looking for his big secret treasure.” 

“Yes, but take a look at his life. He should have died many times, but didn’t! He fought four Thalmor ships with only his brig and his crew. A brig! That is epic and legendary and I bet Hjaldir has stories like that, too.”

She smiles and bows her head, looking at the ground, focusing on the snow and ash. “He does. You’d like him.” 

“I’m sure I would. I hope I get that chance someday.”

“I hope so, too.” she nods, thinking of the possibilities. Her heart aches at the thought of them meeting and getting along.

So many questions.

I really am Grandpa's favorite wicked adopted stepchild?

Luke and Leia are ...

Jon?

Is GoT actually that good?

Normal People are Ben and Cody?

Was it October when I sat on the lap and listened to the classical guitar like I was in Heaven? Who stopped the stoplights, and how?

Yes, it was the best and most perfect first kiss ever. Of course it was. I apologize to the other 299 for typing that. Only one was ever terrible. This is why I believe there is no such thing as a good or bad kisser if I am kissing them. Mister was lying about it all, but that's pretty clever.

Has everyone seen the hot tub videos? And Mister, did you think you were the only one?

Is there video of my free throw contest championships? Hope so.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Is my Dad Gandalf?

Hugging people who didn't ask for hugs is not sexual harassment, if it's me. New Rules.

What is Warren Buffet's role in all this nonsense? FBIL?

Donald Trump needs someone to just hug him like I hug. Maybe Joe Biden?

Kasuo Ishiguro Hero

Is that why that book was so, just, so...

And the Viggo Mortensen role was just that, too...

Ah, Liv.

Hmmmmmmmmm.

I am starting an unpaid contest with the prize of a gift horse from Amber Ruffin. Make the funniest GIF for #MakeAmericaFart. Please. :)

Tumblr told me to tag Kristen Stewart. So I did!

I do not see a way to add alt tag to this GIF. Do you not need to alt-tag GIFs? If so, it is a man with a duckhat on his head. Kinda Rasta vibe. Btw anyone ever get in touch with Sean and Tennyson? I'm an incredible mother, Bethany.

Alt tag for below: Cool raven girl with bugheart eyes, and a confused manboy lurking near the shadows.

Finally (which comes when the never) Will you, Dear God, please put the right settings back on my mouse?????????? Please. Puh-leez!

Do I get Savannah back?????????? She could run any of your big Hollywood studios. I promise.

[A tag that says #grey im tired of receiving information from your blog]

had a short discussion on discord about the ongoing trend of people giving birth in voicechat on discord. something along the lines of "i cant imagine my mother telling me years down the line that i was born in The Best App for Gamers voicechat". and i started making a joke about how i was glad i wasnt born in the generation of people naming their kids after fictional characters.

then i remembered i ended up changing my name to a fictional characters name by my own volition. i completely bamboozled myself trying to make a joke.

people are giving birth on discord???

My #1 post of 2022

I feel like I need to share a story with you re: the Mountain Dew. Back when Mt Dew was only starting to branch out, in the long ago era of 2003, I lived in a party house known as Casa Discordia. It was, as so named, a place of discord and was lived in by many many crazy people with many many crazy ideas. Also, the entire house was fueled by different flavors of Mountain Dew, at the time of which there were only about seven, if you included the specialty flavors.

Anyway, one dark, horrible night, at about 3am when only the best decisions are made, someone thought it would be fun if everyone mixed their individual flavors of Dew together in a big bucket.

Between the lot of them (I was not present for this experiment, or else I probably would have made some comment like "this might be fun, but stupid, let's do it anyway) they had every flavor there was available at the time except for Baja Blast which was still only sold at Taco Bell. Naturally, being 3am, taco bell was still open. So the guys piled into the car and drove to Taco Bell to get several large Baja Blasts for this experiment.

Anyway, to my understanding, they got all the drinks, poured them all into a bucket, and then mixed.

The end result was a brown substance that, when I tried it later, tasted exactly like everything and nothing all at once with equal side parts of "dear god why", "cosmic abomination" and, "you should all go home and rethink your lives."

The house deemed the experiment "Cthulhu Juice" and finished the bucket within a day and a half, after which we decided never to do that again... ... except that a couple of us did do so later, when the first Dewmocracy came out and there was suddenly three additional flavors to add to the mix.

Spoiler alert: Never do that.

Anyway, that's the story of Cthulhu Juice and how about 15 idiots concocted the drink mankind was never meant to know.

This is spectacular and it needs to be seen by more than just me

oh my fucking god, i have not written anything in so long but dear god you guys. i am in love with joseph quinn. it’s actually becoming a serious hyperfixation issue which has now resulted into this. let me know if i should continueeeeeee

full story here 

“you’re joking.”

you cannot even believe the words you’re hearing escape your best friends (although you’re questioning this now) mouth.

“y/n.. look, i know okay? i know eddie munson spells trouble -“

“he doesn’t just spell trouble, chris. his god damn middle name is trouble.”

“i just don’t know what to do anymore!”. chrissy exclaims, taking you back a little. “i’m sorry, i just - i am so tired of these nightmares and these hallucinations y/n! i feel like i haven’t slept in god knows how long, i’m tired and he’s the only person in hawkins i know who has a good supply of,” she glances around before lowering her voice, “drugs and i don’t want to go alone. please. i need you.”

the desperation in your friends voice was so clear, it was hard to say no to her. and if you reasoned with yourself, you have been feeling guilty of not being able to help chrissy through these insane nightmares and strange hallucinations too, so it was a pretty simple decision from there for you to tag along.

which was how you found yourself sitting on a picnic bench, in the woods next to the high school, waiting for the notorious eddie munson to show up.

“i’m kind of nervous, if i’m being honest” chrissy mumbled quietly, picking at the wood on the table with her perfectly painted fingernails.

“i mean, i hope you would be nervous buying drugs for the first time, chris. i mean, jesus christ. who would of thought that the captain, and co-captain might i add, of the hawkins high cheerleading squad would be out in the middle of the fucking woods waiting for drugs?!“ you exclaimed jokingly, hoping to arouse some sort of smile from your friends face.

when you were met with silence, you nudged her gently with your shoulder, “chris, look i’m sorry - i’m here to support you no matter what,” you turned your head to the side to get a better look at her, “i just -“ you paused, noticing her eyes first.

“what the fu-“ you stood up abruptly, moving to get a closer look, “fuck, not again.”

you’ll never forget the terror that pulsed inside of you the first time this happened.

you both were leaned against the lockers in the hallway at school. chrissy had been a bit quiet that day, but no matter how many times you asked, she insisted she was okay. you didn’t believe her, but she is stubborn as hell, so you knew there wouldn’t be any explanation. that was until she sprinted straight towards the bathroom in the middle of your sentence.

“chris?” you questioned, after hastily following her. you saw her knees under the stall door and listened to the sounds of sickness coming from her.

“oh babes, why didn’t you tell me? do you want me to go get jason?”

“no!” she quickly exclaimed, coughing up more sick. “no, please y/n… he doesn’t know.”

“shit, chris. okay, um, what do you need me to do?”

when you realized she wasn’t responding, you looked up from your fumbling hands towards the door of the stall. “chrissy? babe, you good in there?” you glanced nervously around as the lights in the bathroom began flickering.

quietness was all you were given back, causing more nerves to bundle up in your stomach. you stepped forward, knocking on the stall door, “chrissy? hello?”

when you were still not hearing anything from her, you pulled a bobby pin from your hair, using it to unlock the stall door. once it finally opened, you looked down to see chrissy sitting on the bathroom floor, eyes rolled up in her head, as her entire body was trembling quickly.

“chrissy?! what the fuck? what the fuck?” you shook her shoulders, panic racing through your entire body, “chrissy, what the fuck is going on? hello?”

tears were building up in your eyes, and you were at a loss of what to do. you shook her shoulders even harder, repeating her name over and over again while trying to figure out what was happening.

a gasp tore though your friends mouth, her eyes popping back into place. you stopped the shaking, collapsing your forehead onto her shoulder, sobs of relief escaping your mouth.

“y/n?” chrissy mumbled, pulling your body off of yours, “what happened?”

you couldn’t help the laugh of surprise that you let out. “what happened?! what happened? what the fuck do you mean, what happened, chrissy?” you flailed your hands around in disbelief, “what happened was you just looked like you were about to enter the afterlife and i didn’t know what to do!”

chrissy looked at you like you were the most insane person she had ever come in contact with. “what?”

you took a deep breath, staring into her eyes before realizing that she truly had no idea what you were talking about. “oh… okay.” you said quietly.

you explained every bit of what had just occurred, including the faulty electrical problems, “chrissy, i was literally thinking how bad of timing it was that the lights were going crazy while you were also having some strange body-freak out moment.”

chrissy was quiet for a moment, processing what you were saying. she looked up at you, tears gathering in her eyes, “y/n… listen. i’ve been having these very vivid nightmares about my mom -“

“fuck your mom.” you interrupted with your usual sentence you would say the moment chrissy brought up her mom.

she smiled slightly, but it didn’t reach her eyes. “yeah, fuck my mom. but y/n, i’ve also been having these…” she paused and began messing with her hand, a nervous tick she developed years ago. “hallucinations? i don’t know, they just feel so real and i don’t know what to do.”

you stared at chrissy, waiting for her to continue. “i just - i was having one.” she mumbled.

“having a hallucination?” you questioned, “when?”

“just now.”

“no, we’re talking now.”

she shook her head, sitting up to really look you in the eyes, “no y/n. when my body was doing all of that weird shit, i was having a hallucination at the same time.”

“oh.”

“oh.”

-

“chrissy, please. not again! fuck, not again!” you exclaimed, moving her body out from under the picnic table so you could grab her shoulders and shake them.

“fuck, fuck, fuck..” you kept mumbling to yourself, tears gathering in your eyes and panic swimming through your veins. “please chrissy…” you whispered.

you don’t think you’ll ever love a sound more than the gasp that is let out through her mouth when she finally comes to.

you pull away from her, taking a few steps back as your shoulders sag in relief, “oh thank fucking go-“

your words were cut off when your back ran into something firm and hard. you jumped in surprise when that something’s hands grabbed ahold of your hips, stopping you from falling forwards.

“god.” you finished your sentence, turning around to be met with none other than eddie munson.

“i mean i usually go by eddie, but god will do.” he smirked above your head, his face quickly dropping into (almost?) a concerned look at the sight of tears streaming down your face.

“hey, hey, hey. sorry… didn’t mean to scare you.” he paused, searching your features. “you okay?”

#ooop#you know what iron triangle didn't even occur to me because#in my mind they are canon already - like it's just internalized to the point it requires no thought#talk about fanon that supplants the actual text but in my defense:#*will smith gesturing dot jpeg* yucun biji and every set of actors who have ever played the three of them#no actually i was lamenting my three heroes (2022) aren't here: bai choufei wang xiashi and su mengzhen#dream ot3#iron triangle is just plain facts by @xcziel

Have you ever watched a love triangle and known with a bone deep certainty that no matter the final/offical pairing, they could solve so many problems by all getting together?

Alternately, has the drama got three protagonists and all of them have amazing chemistry with each other?

Do you just think it would be funny?

Instead of choosing between love interests, help to vote between OT3s!

Propaganda, examples, and write-ins are absolutely encouraged!

Angels theory time!: Reason for Lilith's Sentence

Anyone who has read the 7Og theory knows and the cycle of life that many of the facts that occurred are not explained and/or do not imply anything without context. For those following these moments of theory you can see that demons of greed and lust, focusing on much of these philosophical/theological/mythological debates pointing out plot points few would see and undertake.(thanks @sparkbeast20 for the cooperation)

Right now we're going to focus on one of the most important holes in annon's plot so fasten your seat belts because it's going to be a trip

But before starting this moment of theory, I ask that you, dear reader, keep an open mind for this moment, and in case you can identify any flaws, or are forgetting something, remember that this is just a theoretical post. and I won't be upset if you want to add something to this conversation, I just ask you to reblog and tag me so we can exchange theories on the subject. ------------------------------------- Okay look as far as I can remember, before the fall the brothers had important and necessary roles in the celestial kingdom, and although they were members below Luci's "caste" they

they still worked/exercised in different areas/professions and were highly respected and recognized by their heavenly companions.

However, it was never mentioned/said in the annon what Lilith's role was and from what we can see there are a few facts about her mentioned in it.

now, why are we talking about this? simple one thing that stuck in my head was why Lilith was sentenced to receive the worst punishment of all existing in the celestial realm? at first I thought it was an example mode but after a lot of thinking I had a eureka moment

What if Lilith had an extremely important high-stakes role? an extremely high but secret function of the celestial kingdom? a function that not even Luci could know about? but only he who is nearest to God.

so she must be destroyed because such an extremely risky role could lead to the destruction of all existence, we know from annon that Lilith's anger is extremely difficult to control, and with her emotionally compromised it could leak knowledge that until then should be unknown.. ...

what function am I talking about my dear readers? nothing more and nothing less than the role of apprentice scribe

is the only celestial being known for such ability and none other than the angel/heavenly being, admittedly in angelology, most powerful in the celestial realm............

METATRON!: the scribe of God

one who knows the words of creation, who knows the supreme will of the creator and understands the words of ORIGIN

and as the heavenly realm had not developed a truce with the devils, the creator himself feared what would happen if such power should fall into the enemy's hands.

Lilith knew too much, even as an apprentice and swearing to keep her lips closed, she had already shown how far she could go when she was emotionally compromised (i.e. stealing food from the heavenly realm to prolong her love life because she was desperate/sad/grieving)

She also undermined the Reapers/Shadows' trust, thus compromising their possible neutrality at a huge risk of them allying with the demons in revenge.

with these two points, it was not for nothing that she was condemned to this punishment.
