#Servant Mage

[godzilla-reads]

I just started reading “Servant Mage” by Kate Elliott, after seeing it had a dragon on the cover. The beginning was a bit slow-going but it’s catching on now that I have the goals of the mission down. Fingers crossed this picks up fast. 🤞

I had some books I ordered come in in time for Christmas. I read Servant Mage way back at the beginning of the year - it's a neat novella about revolutions and following your own path. My cat has not interest in the book.

And I finally got my hard cover copy of Nona the Ninth. In what world does the paperback come out four months before the hardback? I wanted a really New Zealand backdrop for the books, thought about finding some flowering pohutukawa, but Rangitoto was easier. If I lived in Wellington I'd totally roadtrip these to Greytown.

Review: Servant Mage by Kate Elliot

Review: Servant Mage by Kate Elliot

Author: Kate ElliotPublisher: Tor.comReleased: January 18, 2022Received: NetGalley There are certain authors where I will read whatever they write: no need to read the description or previews. That was the case for Servant Mage. I knew it was written by Kate Elliot, whom I love. I also knew that S.A. Chakraborty highly praised it, and really, those two facts were more than enough to sell me on…

Day 20 - Master and Servant/Dehumanization

The people who know me on discord know how badly this vampire/blood source AU I have going on with Mariano and Bastian has consumed me. I have no apologies, we're all welcome.

TWs: mind control/brainwashing, vampirism and everything that entails

"Come to me and sit." Bastian filled his voice with intent and magic, pressing his will around the mage's mind. Mariano was stubborn, strong even with the temporary bond linking them. Bastian liked it.

Dark eyes flickered silver for just a moment, the brilliant, temporary pact rings swallowing the night of Mariano's irises like a flash of lightning. He wavered where he stood before turning and walking back towards Bastian. He slotted himself neatly at his side, focus returning to his eyes once he'd settled into the cushions of the sectional.

Mariano blinked. He looked at Bastian, and the vampire saw thought swirling behind his eyes. There was no concern, though, which was...weird. That tended to freak people out. "And that's being thralled?" He asked, sounding curious.

"Yes," Was Bastian's answer. "That's being thralled. I use my will to override yours, and it's uncomfortable for you if you don't listen."

"Will the discomfort grow if I don't obey?"

Bastian shrugged. "Usually. I don't use it very often, so I'm just assuming. It's mostly if someone's being stupid and are gonna get themselves hurt."

"And the bond is necessary?" Mariano asked. There was no accusation in his voice.

"It's not, but it makes it easier to thrall you. Sort of like it's a back door into your mind."

Mariano seemed pleased with that answer. "Alright." He said, some odd tension melting from his shoulders. "I think I like this." He pressed himself closer to Bastian, and something strange prickled at Bastian's mind. This wasn't right--something was wrong with this guy. "I want to be your bonded blood source."

Weird as he was, Bastian couldn't help but shrug and accept the offer. Mariano smelled amazing--like some gourmet wine, aged just to perfection. Yes, he was scarred up, and a convicted felon and war criminal, and the weirdest human that Bastian had ever met, but willing, even-tempered, delicious food wasn't something to turn his nose up at.

"...Fine, alright." Bastian said with a shrug. "You have the job. C'mon, let me show you to your room and make that bond permanent. We'll have our first feeding tomorrow night."

Not even that was enough to shake Mariano, who stood to follow Bastian upstairs with a contented smile.

is this fade dream where the mages are all like evil caricatures who kill just because “that’s what mages do” meant to be a nightmare for the mages or the templars and which is more depressing

#it is definitely the mages who are here. and a few servants

[ansburg]

calling the chantry a megachurch is so dumbstupid. da fans stop using words you don't understand challenge level impossible

#elthina tithes the fereldan orphans so that she can fly around in a private jet i guess LMAO? #''it's just hightown'' hey quick question #in the first scene of act one. where is hawke. btw. #it's almost like indentured servants are pissboys for the rich #i Guess that post isn't as bad as da fans calling apostates 'undocumented mages' but god. lack of critical thinking skills fandom

Redesigns of the Sun and Moon Show Characters! Part 3

It’s the AU bois this time around. Decided to just do the more major AUs then all of em to save my motivation. I’ll get to the others when I want to. Really happy how I managed to make Sun look like his design has been altered by Eclipse while still having his own personality into it. GM!Monty instead of purples is reds and more purple markings to show that he’s been altered by how much magic power he has.

I know it’s probably just semantics but my brain is stuck on the fact that Matt said “the book” for what Ludinus was reading in the flashback.

Like it’s most definitely nothing but like he’s reading a book on how to suck the life out of fey? Or is it his own notes and he’s just going through his own research. It just stuck out to me.

#ludinus da'leth #cr spoilers #also i like how Imathan was like yeah we hated his ass #but somehow he still had servants #proves that Ludinus has the rizz to be both the most unlikeable bastard and the most sought after mage to learn under #looking at all them annexes he had 👀 #i get it i too would wanna work for the hot elf mage but like lmao #u think ppl were like oh hot wizard teacher and then the moment he opens his mouth they regret their internship

[local-magpie]

the new oc is coming together. serial killer who became part demonic from eating demons, accidentally got magically bound to serve... another oc im still working on. other oc is very average and not prepared for dealing with. all this.

#pulling some inspo from fate where theres a whole mage society obsessed with power and magical studies but hidden from mundane society #instead of the whole summoning servants to fight in a one time grudge match to the death #its more like. common to bind existing powerful supernatural beings #for power/mage political struggles #mundane guy accidentally interrupted a binding ritual and this guy took his opportunity to get bonded to a weakling nobody pushover instead #thinking the original ritual was his ex girlfriend and he was like. absolutely not #(dont worry they would have kind of deserved each other. unhinged 4 unhinged) #but yeah the plan is to kill mundane guy. then its put off bc its so east he can do it any time right #and then eventually its like well ok its more convenient for me to already be bonded- #im a sucker for evil characters accidentally caring about someone more than they should #yelling at the void #hyperionskies draws #i dont remember my tag ill look later and fix it

It's really weird that Tamamo Aria is just one buff affinity ability(with charm debuff) as a rider class while actual Caster Circe is throwing hands and staff.

#fate samurai remnant #pili plays fsr #fsr spoilers #fate samurai remnant spoilers #fsr #If you want to go buff debuff mage at least give me more than just one move #I really like her small arc but Kairi Ex her kit is a bare bone #fsr rogue rider #I didn't like spending skill jewels onto a servant with so little gameplay payback to complete Iori's skill tree

STANDING HERE, I REALIZE

[causeitsagame]

Man, there's no fic inspiration like seeing something completely unrelated, going "hahaha even thematically combining those would be so silly," and finishing with "hmm. What if I treated it seriously, though?"

#let's see how fast i can knock out this thematic crossover! it feels like a one-shot. a sad character death-y one-shot. #(the 'something completely unrelated' inspiration: another VN franchise) #(not f/sn although I have previously made decisions about who all the mage/servant combos would be for my own amusement)
