ok so i accidentally deleted the draft but a while back an anon asked me basically saying they had read Gone (are the Days) and wanted other good fanfic recs. and this was my response LMAO

hmm !! this may surprise you but i actually don’t consume that much fanfic. partially because i’m picky, partially bc i tend to consume content slowly or bounce around a lot, etc

i will say a general tip is to sort by bookmarks or kudos to get the good stuff and filter by specific tags as well! like i just read mage pride which is the top bookmarked item in the viravos tag and it was definitely worth the hype!!

if you enjoyed gone are the days,

you’d probably like the Professor Next Door by detectiphoenix (also a professor au but high school teachers!) besides that, here are some viravos fanfic i’ve enjoyed, off the top of my head:

(for context i’m not hyper into smut personally or try to find variety/creativity and i’m biased towards certain things lol but)

VIRAVOS FICS I LOVED <3

Mage Pride by luminiex - This is the top bookmarked fic in the viravos tag, and for good reason! While it is written after S2 and has more sympathetic Aaravos than in canon, it is still very well done in my opinion. I also love whatever it takes by them, it’s great if you don’t like smut too! Aaravos and Viren living together in this plane together lives rent free in my head 😭 I also love their fic where Aaravos gets to meet Viren’s family :)

Recidivism by indefensibleselfindulgence/ @iamalivenow - the viren characterization is everything, it takes place in s2 prison era, and it’s very humorous!

The Sound of His Voice by portmanteau_press - very very cool setup/worldbuilding concept i think

Constellation of the Heart by @yurayuramiharin - This fic is one of my absolute favorites and has inspired some of the art I’ve done as well! As someone who loves vintage & goth subculture & IS a baby bat in college I feel like I resonate with it really well! I love the taking of the worldbuilding of the dragon prince recontextualized in a college setting and the way Aaravos was actually an inspiration for Bowie & caused Viren to question his sexuality!! It’s so deliciously perfect but sadly unfinished, but I would say it’s still definitely worth the read! It doesn’t really end on a cliffhanger either, just one of the best burns ever 😁

Touch of a Star by @detectiphoenix - really unique take on what it’s like to touch Aaravos, I adore it sm and think about it everyday too. Fluffy S5 extrapolation/continuation

To Serve or Slaughter by beastlybrooke - viravos recontextualized as vampires like castlevania my other recent fixation? sign me up. it’s interesting how viren’s prejudice towards elves is recast as a prejudice towards vampires, and aaravos’s fight towards the elves and view towards humans i love it everything

honorary mention ficlets:

the stars they lie by rikku - this is short but i really like the way they incorporate virrow and mindgames, as well as enby aaravos :)

Checkmate by @thrandilf is also short and sweet but i adore it, i think about the alternate versions of the s5 trailer sm and even tried writing my own a few times but they never went that far but yeah i love it and they have other fics that are great too

respect his decision by @vestaldestroyer because aaravos didn’t have to revive viren s4 but he did and ughgghhghh while i don’t think he cares that much cause he might have just been using the revival as a way in with claudia and continuation of all that, there’s always that off chance and he doesn’t even realize how attached he is and love is just that huge when you’re that old and powerful, large enough to move mountains and yeah </3

i’d put my own can you stay by @self-spaghettification but that’d seem a bit unfair lol

—

there’s probably others i’ve yet to read or that are cool but i don’t remember or that have some good parts but are kind of iffy imo but those are the only ones i can think of off the top of my head i’m sorry </3

but i’ve also have been compiling a list of fic ratings on a google doc and uhh its not really sharable in any way, but a while ago I also had a website concept where people could share fic ratings like goodreads but for ao3 with some other site inspo in the mix that i spent a few hours sketching out the concept of but idk if i should share but yeah :)

I haven't posted in forever, but I've finally finished dragons rising season 2 and I'm too in love with Geo not to draw him :,)

I'll probably draw him and Cole together at some point

#ninjago #ninjago dragons rising #geo ninjago #ninjago geo #cole ninjago #dragons rising #i almost cried at their relationship okffkernv #ninjago fanart

The trees where I live are finally starting to bloom again, so I'm relearning how to draw these two

[qwakadoodle]

This isn't fanart or anything, just a random piece I did lol. It was really really fun to draw!!! Kind of based on the Mitski lyric, 'let me walk to the top of the big night sky' (First love/late spring)

#original art #original character #digital art #digital illustration #golden hour #not fanart #this look ages but it was SO FUN

Can't draw for a while, so it's time for some silly silly hc:

- One time Nya got her entire arm stuck in a vending machine (she paid for the thing she's getting the thing) and she had to call Kai for help. She threatened to cut his hair if he ever told anyone.

- Zane's game of throwing rocks at Kai to agree with him at some point got so extreme he straight up threw Cole at him.

-Zane froze an entire aquarium after the never relam. He still feels bad.

- One time Zane accidentally destroyed the TV and blamed it on Jay. No one suspected anything. Jay didn't stand a chance.

- Lloyd bought a bunch of tiny elf figurines and hid them all in Kai's room. He thrived on the paranoia Kai experienced that month.

- Cole and Lloyd have very strong opinions when it comes to candy. Cole thinks any type of mint candy is a disgrace. Lloyd disagrees. They throw hands. And eat some cake afterwards.

- Jay's wardrobe is a special kind of mess ranging from 80s colorful windbreakers to gamer hoodies and obnoxious glittery suits. Help him.

- Once when the RGB siblings were at a restaurant, a sweet older waitress confused Kai as Lloyd's and Nya's dad. Kai was too shocked to correct her. He then had a small existential crisis bc apparently he looks old enough to have teenage/older kids. Lloyd and Nya will never let him forget that.

- A mission forced Cole to go undercover once and during his time as a member of a gang or something he became so well liked he had trouble leaving. The ninja had to fake his death. He cried. R.i.p Rocky Dangerpuff 2.0

- Kai does indeed have a gun. Nobody knows where he got it from. Or when. Or why.

- Jay Walker has been arrested multiple times bc of Jay Walking. He will continue to do so. He has to live up to his name.

- Sometimes Pixal will stand ominously in the dark to scare anyone unfortunate enough to cross paths with her in the middle of the night. She enjoys it way too much.

- When Lloyd got drunk for the first time on his 21 birthday he sat unmoving for a worrying amount of time, then threw up. On Kai.

- Nya has a lip tattoo. Nobody will ever know that. It was a moment of impulse and weakness. She will take that to the grave.
