I think it still makes me laugh that Madam Z and Tennant share the same CN voice actor. i don't know what would be more funnier: a role swap or a personality swap between the two.

do you thing the new character “kuda” who showed up in 23a will be relevant later in the story?
Tumblr media
just so we're all on the same page this is who we're talking about... one of Kagiura's teammates, apparently named Kuda. BUT YOU RAISE GREAT QUESTIONS DEAR ANON.... i remember the first time i read this, i thought it was a little strange that he was given like. a whole face and name. which is more than we gotten for SOME prominent characters. previous preside[GETS PULLED OFF STAGE] anyways. yeah i do feel like he'll at least show up again during kagi's basketball sports anime arc <-delusional. I do feel like this guy might actually be the upstart first-year he complains about in the kagihira light novel. but unless we get like concrete confirmation of that, im going to keep thinking its shirahama for my own delusions.
BUT REGARDLESS OF ALL THAT. i do think he will show up again. not sure how tho. my immediate thought is maybe he someone plays into a hirano jealously arc. but that also sounds like. insane. so who knows. that you so much for sending this.... peace and love...

Remember that time Kyouka was almost identified as a murderer while at the ADA and Fukuzawa was like "no wait this is my granddaughter"

I started rereading Catching Fire yesterday (I haven’t read the book in over 10 years) and the first chapter is already making me kinda insane for a few reasons
“A light snow starts to fall as I make my way to the Victor’s Village” (12) this pretty much directly foreshadows President Snow’s visit with Katniss at her new house
“[the Victor’s Village is] a separate community built around a beautiful green, dotted with flowering bushes. There are twelve houses” (13) I know that the number 12 is just kinda a common theme in this series but a part of me also kinda thinks this foreshadows the layout of the arena in the 75th Hunger Games as well as the victors’ involvement
After the BOSAS movie was released there’s been a lot of debate about whether Lucy or Coriolanus is the songbird or snake, I kind of think they’re both in their own ways but the final line of this chapter is literally “I'm staring into the snakelike eyes of President Snow.” (17) and made me want to scream

I was going to save this until I reread Hollowpox, but that last ask reminded me that I should share this here, so I present:
Musings on Maud: Why is she considered so powerful, how does this affect her dynamic with Squall, and why is he so scared of her?
(Bonus: How can I connect it to Silverborn?)
Two disclaimers: I haven't reread Hollowpox in ages, so if there's anything that could prove or disprove stuff in this post, send it my way. Honestly send any discussion my way. I love discussing theories. Second, this was originally a reply to a Reddit comment on a post, to which you can find here. The comment discussed Maud being a signatory for a Squall safeguard, so since this comment is copied verbatim, it references that.
---
If it’s not outright stated, it’s at least heavily implied that Squall helped create/build up the Republic. It’s only existed for about 90 years, and Squall has been exiled for about 100. He mentions in Hollowpox how he knows that Maud’s plan is to take over Nevermoor/The Free State, because the Republic took over the other states in the realm and he “helped them do it.” However, unless Maud is immortal and also 100 years old, she is not the one who started the Republic from the side of the Republic. Also, no clue how long it’s been around, but Squall Industries has likely been around for awhile as well (this is how he gets his connections and power in the Republic), with Squall just constantly grandfathering himself in with the vampire trick or something.
Interestingly, Squall says two things in this scene (Chapter 34 of Hollowpox) that stick out to me:
“I made the so-called Hollowpox,” he raised his voice above hers, “because I was asked to. Because I was compensated handsomely for it. And because when the most powerful person in the realm asks for a favour, even I don’t refuse.
And
“But you’re a Wundersmith.” Morrigan was utterly baffled. “Why can’t you just stop them if they’re such a problem? I don’t understand!” “Do you THINK I HAVEN’T—“ Squall shouted, then cut himself off abruptly.
He also mentions how the Hollowpox was initially meant for the Republic, but Maud snuck in an infected otter across the border into Nevermoor— “That was never part of our deal.”
There’s definitely a business relationship between the two of them of likely consistent deals, one favor for another, quid pro quo. However, we also see that Squall can’t really go against her, something he seems to have tried before. Two chapters before this scene (Chapter 32), has this moment:
“Yes, shush. Maud said the Wintersea Party might help if there was a squid crow po.” “Quid pro quo?” “Right, one of those. She said they won’t do something for nothing, but if we could convince Prime Minister Steed to meet with her, just to have a conversation, then she would try to convince her party to share their cure.”
While it could be easily explained as part of her job, Maud seems to get most of her power and do things by extracting deals from other people. Maybe she’s knackless, or maybe she has some sort of connection to Puppeteering or a knack related to that. Not Mesmerism, but something that allows her to be persuasive, manipulative, convince people of things, and get them to do what she wants. A sort of parallel or companion to Squall’s connection with Puppeteering that we see in Wundersmith.
It’s interesting that when we first meet Maud, there is this exchange directly after she tells Mog that the Wintersea Republic would only agree to help the Free State if there was some sort of deal:
“But they’re your party,” Morrigan pointed out. “Aren’t you the one with the power? Maud stiffened slightly and cast her a wary, calculating look.
And then soon later she says this:
“Even if I could persuade my party to do the right thing – and I’m not saying I won’t try – there’s no guarantee Steed and his government would come to the table.”
The whole exchange seems very manipulative, like, “oh, I’d LOVE to talk and get this figured out, but I can’t…” There’s a big focus on conversation. Maud is wary when Mog mentions power— she thinks she means a magical power, something secret that gives her an advantage, when really she just means politically— so I wonder if she was worried for a moment that Mog realized she had some sort of coercive power.
I wonder what exactly her power is that makes Squall so scared of her, and why it possibly makes it so that he can’t fight make and overthrow her. Aside from their business relationship, which allows Squall access to Wunder and being a Wundersmith, there’s this other layer as well.
As for safeguard: I don’t know if Maud would be a signatory for a Squall safeguard, as that seems to just be for Wunsoc students, but I think that whatever their deal is and whatever her power is allows her to keep him in check. Jess said that we will learn more about safeguards in Silverborn, and I think it would be interesting if Mog learns more about them from Squall instead of Jupiter— and maybe it does end up being similar to whatever he has going on with Maud, who knows! I don’t really have any safeguard theories myself, but I will keep an eye out for what you add to your comment.
A Silverborn “silver” side note: A “silver tongue” means that someone is persuasive when they speak….. perhaps this idea, theme, power, etc. will be expanded upon in the future 🤔

Oh, look, a fic! Just under 2k little one shot exploring President Ravinstill being just so pathetic and diving into the Ravinstill-Gaul-Snow dynamic (again) from another angle.

Fun fact n°1:
I started writing Chapter 1 in January 2023 (I think?)
I was in Eastern Ukraine at the time, freezing my face off everyday with a consistent snowy -25°C.
In the evenings, after a long, often difficult, but worthwhile day of delivering supplies, the two other volunteers and I would hang out in our base, either doing inventory, cleaning, networking, or (preferably) playing cards/drinking.
The power and heat kept being cut off because of the shelling, especially in the evenings, so there was often nothing to do but curl up under a blanket and wait because it was too cold to work and we tried to save our headlight batteries for emergencies.
God bless external batteries for keeping my phone alive, which permitted me to start writing Compromised in my notes app.
And now here we are! Keep tuned for the next fun fact!

Hello! I wanted to let you know how amazing your fic is, it seems my life now revolves around Friday mornings. I think it may be one of my favorite series ever, not just fics, your stuff is better than most published works I have read. I really could go on and on. Suffice to say, thank you x1 million for just putting this out there for us.
I had a couple curiosities! Is it ever hard to restrain yourself and just post 1 time per week? Or is that necessary for your creative process?
Also, your fic is rapidly growing in popularity, do you ever get worried about how that might change your audience?
Thank you again for the amazing thing you've written, I feel super lucky to be reading it in real time because I know this is going to be one of those legendary classics.
Thank you so much! You're wonderfully kind, I really appreciate it, and I hope I can live up to your expectations!
Weekly posting: Posting once a week is actually something I started for my own sanity — posting it regularly/serially is better for audience response, so there's a natural incentive to do it, but it also gives me more time to write ahead. And having all of a book prewritten in advance is really important for me creatively, not only so as to avoid the possibility of cliffhangers, but also to feel immune from the pressure to change the story based on what audiences want.
Growing audiences: Oof, it's been wild. I've been sort of boggled by the response to my little fic; it was entirely unexpected and the most I can do is work hard to deserve it. For the most part, an increasing audience has been a wonderful, wonderful thing, and I've been so grateful for everyone who's been offering support and praise. I'm seriously insanely lucky. My only point of frustration is that, in general, as a fic grows, readers seem to perceive increasing distance between themselves and the author. For instance, people in my comments have increasingly started to address each other instead of me, or have left comments seemingly without the expectation that I'll read them. But when someone comments on the fic, they're still sending that message directly to the author, and I think that some people might... well, they either don't know that, or they don't care. Like, the audience/author distance might be greater than it is for a fic with only 300 hits, but it's not like I'm a showrunner, or some other media production bigwig who'll probably never see 99% of the feedback generated by fans; it's still my pet project that I read basically every scrap of feedback for.
And sometimes (rarely — most of my comments are just so wonderful, and I don't want to sound ungrateful, but) people do say weird or unnecessary things. One comment for the last chapter read, "if krum dies im gonna drop this fic ngl," and that just irritated the hell out of me. Like, if that's your opinion, cool. Your reading habits are none of my business, and I sincerely encourage everyone who needs to take a break from Lionheart — or, hell, even loses interest — to go find something that sparks joy instead. Reading fic should bring you pleasure. No hard feelings, swear to God.
But my frustration with that comment, in particular, was: you do realize that you've sent that message directly to my inbox, right? You realize that was the first thing I read when I opened my comments section after a long afternoon of writing? Someone directly informing me, the author, that a narrative decision (which, either way, I already made about 4-5 months ago) will lose me a reader? And how does this person expect me to react? "Oh, no! I have to go back and rewrite 90,000 words of the story — God forbid I lose you, Single AO3 User Who Left No Other Comments! How can I live with myself if you're not here??"
It's just a bit frustrating. And, to the point — I say this politely, with respect — but if you seriously can't handle seeing characters die, then maybe don't read the fanfiction that's rewriting a series where very many characters die. Just a thought.

While searching for sources for the production of this volume, one thing caught my attention. Among all the victims of that fateful day, Sejanus Plinth is never mentioned.
or: While still learning about his dysfunctional family and complicated secrets, Lucy Gray brings Sejanus into the life of a normal teenager. Or as normal as someone like him can be.
hi, so, I updated the carrie au I'm currently writing!! this chapter is more heavy, so please, mind the trigger warnings. I was planning on writing 2 chapters, but the second one got TOO long, and I had to split into another one. that's it, thank you if you take interest by my fanfic, and take care <3
