EPISODE 6 (just realised no one is asking me to do this too bad) spoilers for series up ahead

ITS NOT A MUSICAL EPISODE 😭

Disney was too broke to show us the animals in the zoo truck WHYY

why am i so happy for the second seaweed brain, man the things being a pjo fan does to you

The way you could see luke’s smile drop when they say that they found the lightning thief (:) —> :/)

The way luke didn’t even let them finish he was like “CLARISSE YES CLARISSE SHE MUST BE THE ROBBER”

No one’s talking about “Chiron should arrest her” Not the mental image of chiron holding a gun saying “ANY WORD CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU IN COURT” while clarisse is pushed into a police car lollll

Old married couple im falling out of my chair plsssss if luke did something right in his life it was this

i love annabeth’s face like she knew this was coming the older brother-sister dynamic is POPPING

Disney really needed a way to show that grover liked animals and had convos with them without actually showing them lol

cue the “omg animals are so elegant” speech which served nothing at all

WHATS THE POINT OF ZEBRA TO VEGAS IF THERE AIN’T NO ZEBRA MR HOUSE OF MOUSE????

Idk but i kind of miss the trio action so far this show has only been percabeth + grover instead of percy + annabeth + grover you can tell they’re focusing more on fan service and developing percabeth than developing the more important dynamics which are the three of them having fun

oh HELLO RANDOM CAMEL WHO ISNT EVEN A ZEBRA BUT WHATEVER

“You are two seconds ahead of meeee” the simp eyes the simp eyes

The lotus casino from the outside is so COOL

LEVITATING BY DUA LIPA (some of yall still stuck in poker face era so im leaving it at that)

WISE GIRL I REPEAT WE GOT WISE GIRL (i was honestly expecting it to sound super corny on screen but walker pulled it off like he always does)

look im so mad about the fact that there’s no montage of them being silly little kids and having fun at arcade games. It hits so hard since percy has never afforded to visit fun places, annabeth has never left camp so is absolutely thriving with her architect games, grover is hunting down humans which was so funny and cool and they decided to make it more serious and plot centred

”ill take percy this way” WHY CAN’T GROVER TAKE PERCY THAT WAY HUH ANNABETH? 🤨 (girl just say you want to spend time with him)(and disney say you just wanna write more percabeth scenes)

I love the ‘if you dont know, i dont know either 😄’ mentality that percy has, he knows annabeth wants to be in charge now so he’s just feeding into the hubris

The augustus plot was so weird ngl but it was a great way to introduce the pan stuff

“Biaannncaaaaa biancaaaaaa” NICCOOOOOOO

He sounds so little and innocent and cute 🥺 im so sad now

GROVERRRRRR REMEMBERRRRRR

i gotta say, i guess that i was taken away by the people making fun of lin manuel miranda, but his acting was really really good

We got some may castellan exposition early

Percy thinking that the only thing he could do to sally was hurting her 🥹

i really hope they talk about that later on, you know we love some angst around here (especially with the dreams of the headmaster which was from the books!!! I was thinking that they’d cut it! But they didnt!! But it speaks volumes about percy that he has nightmares of headmasters)

I WANT ANNABETH FLASHBACK ANGST

annabeth pickpocketing the god of thieves will forever be her girlbossiest moment

”Im multitalented” percy: 😍💙🥰🥹 🤩(walker’s acting be that amazing is it not obvious by now that percy likes annabeth)

“Who’s grover ☺️?” “Wait, i know grover 😅!” Walker is cementing himself in the percy throne every single episode

”wow grover got really old😃”

“you lose sight of what’s important when you’re alone” “we weren’t alone 🥰” poor grover

The eons long wait to see how percy was hugging while falling the way down is finally over

The way that you can see percy’s empathy shining through his eyes as grover talked about pan>>>> (honestly tho, hug!)

the way they focused on percy’s reaction, i know this is going to be something he brings up as a reason for him to sacrifice himself for hades

Percy and annabeth looking at grover like “ ok mr. 24 DRIVE US”

Percy trying to drive a car will forever be cinema and comedy peak

The road rage this child has its so funny BEEP BEEP

annabeth: 😁 percy: 🥹 *cutely crashes car and almost kills her* PERCY IS TRULY GIVING A LOSER BOY WHO HAS NEVER HAD A GIRL LOOK AT HIM AND THATS SO PERCY OF HIM

the heartbreak in percy’s eyes alexa play the moment i knew by taylor swift

Four pearls?? *cue that one meme where that girl is calculating*

the way my smile faded when i saw annabeth hanging over the cliff TOO SOON RICK TOO SOON

20 questions for fic writers

Ohhhh, haven't done one of these in a while. Thanks for the tag @esther-dot <3

How many works do you have on Ao3?

On Ao3? 91 But add to that, older fics on ffnet and other independent sites (oh Rolo Realm, my beloved), I think it's 102.

2. What's your total Ao3 word count?

1,020,258

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Game of Thrones/ASOIAF, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Naruto, X-Men, Star Trek, Record of Lodoss War, Sailor Moon, Harry Potter and several unpublished ones

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Almost all Jonsa, lol. - From Instep to Heel - A Violence Done Most Kindly - Wool and Tallow - Shepard Sees the Sky - Hallowed

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Always, but it takes me time. I used to be very secluded, still am sometimes, and it took me effort to reply to comments and build relationships and community. I don't want to lose that. It's also important to me that readers understand how meaningful even a single comment is. So yeah, every comment, I try.

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

Alright, so there's a lot of contenders for this one. I'm not even gonna try to list them off.

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

Probably either Interlocking or What Grows in Winter? I don't write a lot of 'happy' endings, I would say. Mostly I write endings that have either hope or closure, and that can come in a multitude of emotions, but those two fics are probably the most light-hearted of my works so I'm going with that.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Sure, but honestly, not nearly as much as I expected. I've never really gotten someone trying to get into an argument with me. It's really just those one-line trolls that mass comment on a fic out of nowhere with stuff like 'Die parasite' or whatever.

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

I do! I can actually say that now, lol. It's semi-recent for me, I guess. Considering how long I've been writing, at least. At the moment it's just het smut, but who knows what the future will bring!

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

Nope. Dislike crossovers, actually.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Several, actually.

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

No, and I don't plan to. Don't think it would work well.

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

I honestly can't answer this. Like... honestly. But the two couples I've spent the most time actively writing for would be Jon/Sansa (Game of Thrones/ASOIAF) and Storm/Wolverine.(X-Men), so there's that.

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

It'd be between Rocks and Shoals and Sheparding Men, but I'm more hopeful that I'd return to Rocks and Shoals. Both are Mass Effect fic.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Characterization and emotive language.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Setting and exposition, for sure. Also, paring down a scene, lol.

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

I've thrown in a commonly known phrase or two, but I don't like it being used regularly. There's too much variance on how to show translation in fic, and I find it often breaks the pace of the piece trying to do so, anyway.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Oh geez, thinking back, probably Xena? Though that was unpublished. First published fandom would be X-Men.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Damn, that's hard. But I'm probably going to have to go with Reckoned from One Midnight to the Next for the way it changed my writing style going forward. Perhaps the most formative of my pieces. Close runner up would be A Violence Done Most Kindly though, since it's also pretty formative for me in how I tackle plot now, and I'm really proud of the intricacies in that one.

This was pretty fun! Tagging for those interested @theoriginalsuki @jonsaslove @amymel86 @barbex @hawkeykirsah @vorchagirl @razerathane @tlcinbflo @foofyschmoofer @goddesstiera @joufancyhuh @sailorshadzter

i hope your requests are open! :)

could you write something for eddie munson, spanking the reader, because she’s been like a brat all day like misbehaving and stuff?

that would be GREAT!!

love your writing<3

Brat taming | E.M

Eddie munson x reader, smut.

Summary: You decide to tease eddie all day then bother him during his dnd, he doesn’t take this lightly, maybe he’ll have to punish you?

Warnings: SMUT, degrading, brat taming, Dom!eddie x sub!reader

A/n: can confirm there will be spelling mistakes!! Will proofread in the next 24 hours! I hope this is okay, thank you for requesting!!

You poor thing, you poor poor thing. Well done. You had managed to piss of eddie munson, it’s a hard task to accomplish yet you had somehow pushed all the wrong buttons.

When he had picked you up for school, his eyes landed on your frame, inhaling sharply at the sight of you in his ‘ramones’ t-shirt and a short skirt. His eyes stayed on you as you got into his car, moving to your thighs that were perfectly on show.

“Your joking right?” He scoffed, looking back at your face, quirking a brow at your confused reaction. “Don’t play dumb” yet you did, refusing to know what he was talking about, he shook his head and brushed it off, driving to school, although he seemed a little more silent than usual.

By the time lunch came along he was extremely on edge, so many men had eyed you up and you had even engaged with some of their pervy conversations. As he sat eating dinner with you he noticed some of the club members even eyeing you up, you even smirked at one. He tilted his head, placing his rough hand under your chin and turning your head swiftly “watch it” he warned

“Watch what baby?” You asked, innocently and he just narrowed his eyes, going back to his food.

He didn’t have the same classes as you throughout the afternoon so he simply met you at hellfire. When he entered the room he saw you, sat on his throne like chair, legs hooked over the side as you read one of the dnd handbooks. The sight was amazing, you looked so perfect to him, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t still pissed off with you, he just hadn’t reached the point to showing it yet.

“Hey doll” he walked over, ruffling your hair slightly

“Hey! Not the hair!” You shoved him playfully before standing up, signalling for him to sit down. As he did he felt you instantly plop onto his lap, your back against his chest. “You can’t sit there sweetheart, I won’t be able to play properly”

“Please? I’ll hold out your notes and stuff” you poured and he bit the inside of his cheek

“Your lucky your face his so cute” he groaned, nodding and leaning back, watching the others gather into the room, not one of them second guessing the overly affectionate couple.

About an hour into playing and he was growing angrier, you were constantly wriggling around on his lap, or leaning forward to talk to someone, not only distracting the game but also distracting him. The third time you leaned forward his hands latched to your waist and pulled you back roughly, his hot breath fanning your neck “stop that.”

And this was were you made your last mistake “stop what eds? Can’t I do anything today?” You snapped, just above a whisper, the bickering of the rest of the people making it so only he heard it. He raised his brow, expecting you to apologise, waiting impatiently. “Oh so that’s how it’s gonna go?” He huffed when you didn’t respond.

“Okay, everyone, games over, we’ll have to play tomorrow” he stated, pushing you up before standing up himself, he grabbed his jacket and pushed you out of the room, his hand rested on the small of your back to direct you. He ignored the protests of the group and carried on walking with you, the second he left the building and reached the car he pressed you against it.

“Last chance princess” he crossed his arms but you just scoffed, standing your ground, he took a deep breath “get in the car.”

He looked at you, letting out a brief laugh of anger “Get. In. The. Car” he pointed, watching as you finally shuffled away, hearing the car door slam on the other side. He just got in his side, focusing on starting the car and driving it, one hand gripping on the steering wheel as the other fumbled with something in his pocket, pulling out a cigarette he skilfully placed it in his mouth and lit it with one hand. “Fucking brat” he mumbled. Opening up a window he tapped off the ash and glanced at you, you were staring out the window, your arms crossed

“You don’t get to be angry here doll, you did this to yourself” he spoke up

“I did nothing” you mumbled and he leaned towards you slightly, sarcastically asking “what was that”

“I did nothing!” Unluckily as you yelled this, he reached his trailer, looking at you before getting out and unlocking his trailer. He knew you had followed so he opened the door and nodded inside “go to my room, now” and so you did, almost realising just how angry he was.

He was the kind of guy who no matter how pissed off he was, he was able to keep a straight face and calm tone, which almost made it scarier, it’s like he was indestructible, like no matter how much you rebelled, he was always gonna win. He made it clear.

Afew minutes went buy, you patiently waiting on his bed for him as you heard his trailer door shut, hearing nearing footsteps, you looked up and met his dark eyes. He had obviously waited out there to finish his cig in peace. “You ready to behave?”he asked and you nodded shy fully, he sat beside you and patted his knee.

He watched as you obediently bent over his lap, a small grin on his face as he flipped your skirt up to reveal his favourite underwear of yours. “Count” he stated, before a harsh stinging could be felt on your ass, and another as you recited the numbers with his movements. When you had finally reached your limit he stopped, his hand comfortingly rubbing at the red skin. He flipped your skirt back down and helped you straddle him, he looked at your face, the teary eyes and already smudged makeup.

He tucked some hair behind your ear “that’s my girl” he leaned down, kissing your neck and rubbing at your waist, he pulled your/his shirt over your head, before flipping you over so he was hovering over you on the mattress.

“You want me to treat you like the shore you are hm? I saw the way you let all those boys eye-fuck you” he spoke, pressing kisses on your chest, smirking. “You want them to fuck you? Think they’re better than me?” He asked, just teasing you now

“No! No, Eds your so much better than them”

“Good girl” he praised, unbuckling his belt and tugging his black jeans down to his thighs, along with his boxers. His hand moved to rub at your thigh as you reached for his bedside table and handed him a condom. He mumbled against your skin as he kissed your stomach, leaving your skirt on yet tugging your panties down. He pulled away, sliding the condom onto his cock and looking at your state, desperate for him. “Who knew such a pretty brat could be so needy?” He teased once again, lining himself up.

“Please don’t tease, eds please” you whines out, boosting his ego. Due to your encouragement he pushed into you, lifting one of your legs over his shoulder to hit a better angle. He let you adjust, he want a monster, before forcefully fucking you into the mattress.

He let out quiet groans as he let you scream for him, encouraging it with his fast movements.

“Fuck you look so pretty like this doll” he moaned out, his hands digging into your waist, yours scratching his back slightly.

As you both moaned in sync his actions got slower and rougher, as if he was loosing control. “Shit eds I’m so close” he heard you whine, and with a grin he leaned his hand down, using his middle finger to circle your clit swiftly, watching as your body contorted towards his movements

“That’s it, good girl” he breathed out, becoming rather close himself. As you began to grind into his movements with him he felt himself growing uncomfortably close to finishing. Both of you letting out a string of moans as he moved a few last times, feeling you shake around his coco drove him mad. As he came undone he felt you did the same, leaning into your chest, panting as he moved slightly due to your chest heaving.

“Holy shit, if that’s how you’ll react I might have to misbehave more often” you whispered and he just laughed “fuck no, I won’t let you cum next time.

Prestigious Student [Ewan Mitchell x Asian!Reader]

Other HOTD stories [requests open]

Summary: It is the holiday season and you decided to meet up with two of your best friends in London while they’re on break from filming an upcoming show, House of the Dragon. They decide to bring their costar, Ewan Mitchell insisting that you would love him which causes you to become a little nervous because every boy you meet is intimidated by you….

❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈

You looked in the mirror over your short black dress, wearing a pair of fleece tights and a winter coat with a scarf. “Is this too much?” You asked turning to Phia with furrowed brows.

Phia smiled a bit as she looked over you. “I think it’s perfect.” She scrunched up her nose. “But you don’t really have to impress anyone,” She said a bit teasingly.

You laughed and shook your head. “I just want to make a good first impression,” You mumbled.

You were in London for the holiday season and it happened to line up with your best friends’ filming schedule. They seemed excited to introduce you to one of their fellow costars, Ewan Mitchell. It had been a few months since you’ve seen either Phia or Tom with them and their acting careers and if they had a free day, you would have a modeling gig booked. It seemed to be a rare occasion and you will take it while you can.

“I know Ewan is going to love you.” Phia waved her hand at your paranoia before she hooked her arm with yours after you got your heels on.

You blew out a breath and nodded at Phia’s reassurance. She always seemed to know what to say to make you feel better, although the butterflies still lightly fluttered in your stomach.

“Did you tell him anything about me?” You asked with furrowed brows while heading out towards your car.

“Only the good stuff.” Phia scrunched up her nose a bit. “But Tom is left alone with him so we can only guess what he told him.”

You groaned a bit. “That could be a bad thing then,” You whined.

Phia laughed as she got into the passenger seat of your car. “Let’s go and get a pre drink to calm your nerves,” She teased causing you to laugh.

You shook your hands a bit when you pulled up to the restaurant, a casual diner. You bit your lip gently feeling the slight sweat and rubbed your palms together.

“They must be inside already,” Phia said with furrowed brows noticing Tom’s car.

You turned off the car and got out, smiling when your best friend came over and hooked her arm with yours. “Let’s just hope Tom didn’t give me a bad first impression,” You said giggling.

Phia smirked lightly. “Tom told me that he was trying to be the best wingman for you,” She admitted.

You cocked a brow. “A wingman? I’m not looking for a boyfriend…besides, every boy is scared of me.”

“They’re just scared by a girl smarter than them,” Phia stated with a small hum. “But I think you and Ewan would be a cute couple.”

“Phia!” You exclaimed causing your friend to laugh.

“I’m just kidding.” She nudged you with a smirk. “But I know as soon as he sees you in your little black dress, he will be smitten.”

❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈ ❈

You felt the nerves in your stomach as you walked into the diner with Phia. It was always nerve wracking to meet new people, yet you seemed more nervous than usual. Perhaps because it was a male and you didn’t want to drive this one away.

“There’s the Oxford Princess!”

You heard the familiar voice and before you knew it, a body hit yours causing you to laugh. You wrapped your arms around Tom and smiled lightly at him.

“Hello to you too,” You greeted laughing a bit.

“I have been waiting for this day for a long time now!” Tom pouted as he released the hug before wrapping an arm around Phia. “Come, we want you to meet someone.”

You giggled and shook your head at Tom’s enthusiasm before walking with them towards a table in the corner. You smiled lightly as you met the blue eyes of a brunette man.

“Ewan, this is our lovely Oxford Princess Y/N,” Tom introduced.

You smiled and shook your head at the nickname. When you first got accepted into Oxford, Tom had came up with the nickname Oxford Princess and it seemed to stick. You held out your hand for the boy to shake.

“It’s just Y/N, actually,” You told him with a small smile.

“Well, it’s nice to meet you just Y/N,” Ewan replied shaking your head while returning your smile. “I’m Ewan Mitchell.”

The night seemed to go off without a hitch, the table being filled with chatter and laughs. Ewan seemed different from the others you’ve met, being very interested in you.

“So, Tom told me that you speak three Asian languages,” Ewan spoke up while wiping his mouth.

You smiled a bit sheepishly. “It’s four, actually.”

“Four!” Ewan repeated, surprised.

Phia giggled with a soft smile. “She’s one of the brightest people I know with a double major in mathematics and classical piano,” She piped up while smirking over at you.

You smiled a bit at the look Phia gave you, knowing she was trying to be your wingwoman. Your eyes flickered back over to Ewan and looked over him while biting your lip gently. You must admit that he was quite easy on the eyes.

“That is really cool actually,” Ewan admitted his gaze meeting yours causing your cheeks to heat up.

“She is the second coolest person I know,” Tom began while waving his hand. “Behind me of course.”

You shook your head while picking lightly at your fries with a soft smile. You’ve missed your best friend’s banter and he was doing his best to being a wingman…best being the keyword.

“How long is your break?” You asked after a moment with furrowed brows.

“We go back filming after the first of the year. We don’t have much left to do,” Phia responded with a nod.

“Did you want to come with us?”

You turned to Ewan at his question and smiled lightly at the boyish grin he had on his features, a sparkle in his blue eyes.

“I can’t unfortunately. My schedule doesn’t allow it,” You said a bit sadly.

Ewan’s smile faltered a bit before it came back. “How about I give you my number then? So we can stay in touch.”

You looked at him, surprised but nodded and handed over your phone. You watched him put his number in, smiling more down at your phone after he handed it back. You felt your heart flutter a bit looking at the numbers.

You stood up once you all paid for your respective bills and you hugged Tom tight before smiling up at Ewan. You laughed a bit when he pulled you into a hug and you returned it, your head reaching about his chest. You smiled a small smile hearing how fast his heart was beating.

“It was nice to meet you, Ewan,” You said slowly releasing the hug while giving him a bright smile.

Ewan returned your smile. “And you, Y/N. Text me some time, yeah?”

“I will make sure she does,” Phia assured her costar with a giggle.

You smiled and waved bye to the boys before taking Phia’s arm, heading out to your car. You blew out a breath when you got in and giggled.

“I told you Ewan would love you!” Phia exclaimed gripping onto your arm causing you to laugh more.

“And he is pretty cute,” You added smiling over at your friend.

You didn’t know that this night would lead to something more, yet you were glad that you did not let your nerves take over. You got a chance to catch up with your friends and have a new potential partner; one that genuinely was interested in you and loved everything about you.

Mahoe’s Note: I’m back! Apparently. I’m slowly working on old stuff I just didn’t finish last time I was here, but for now, here’s something for anyone who might still be lurking here.

I’ll probably do a fair few for this theme, a couple more One Piece are already in the works and I’ll do some for a few other fandoms too. So if anyone has any characters in mind they’d like to see do let me know and I’ll see what I settle on. I overwrote for this too, I’m sorry.

Notice! - this is a rework/repost of my writing from my old blogs, some of which have been deleted and some which are still around but inactive. I want to redo these so they’re following me over here and are better written than they used to be.

~~~.~~~.~~~

Warnings: Swearing, spoilers for some TV shows? A few references to adult activities I guess? So maybe the tiniest bit of NSFW?

Themes/Incudes: Modern AU, Domestic Life

Word Count: 1801

~~~.~~~.~~~

Living with... Eustass Kid

Lives in a flat, not a house. Probably one of the flats above a corner shop or takeaway place that looks a bit ugly from the outside. It’s a cheap rental flat, probably with a boat load of problems the landlord just isn’t going to fix, but it’s home and it gets the job done.

The flat is in a rough city central location, but it’s still an area where everyone looks out for one another. It’s a weirdly tight knit community with the odd petty crime and those ‘unfavourable types’ hanging around.

I genuinely see Kid living in Scotland or the North/North East of England. Maybe the Midlands or somewhere in Ireland too. Places with some rough little areas, but good people that’ll bend over backwards for you at the same time? It’s hard to explain.

You will forever have mixed feelings over your decision to move in with Kid. Sometimes living with him is the greatest, but, the rest of the time you want to just smother him in his sleep.

Arguments are bound to happen every single day and they’ll often be over the pettiest of reasons. You walked past the TV screen while he was gaming online? Instant argument. You didn’t put his beer in the fridge so he has to drink the room temperature stuff? Oh boy, he’s pissed. He’s left the toilet seat up and you’re giving him grief over it? Absolute screaming match.

“Y/N, where the hell is the bread?” “Oh, we ran out,” “Fucks sake! Why the fuck did you not go out and buy more then!?”

Don’t take these arguments to heart too much, they really don’t matter to him, the need to bitch is just in Kid’s nature.

Thankfully, very serious arguments are a rarity but they are the scariest.

Your neighbours genuinely really hate you both, I’m sorry, it’s true. They’re praying for the day you’ll move out and inconvenience someone else.

Probably have had the police called out to your home for being such disruptive neighbours. Don’t expect Kid to apologise in these situations, he really doesn’t care about your neighbours feelings. In fact, he’s likely to go out of his way to be an even worse neighbour the more he knows he’s getting under their skin.

The amount of apologies you have had to make to the community is absolutely sinful, but someone has to do it and you’re kidding yourself if you think Kid will. Sorry is a word that barely makes it into his vocabulary and is reserved for the worst of fuckups.

Has been arrested for giving the coppers a hard time on these home visits and is on a first name basis with most of the police in your town.

Your neighbours will hear absolutely everything that you guys do, so try not to be too embarrassed. Kid doesn’t have an inside voice and borderline shouts every other word so no matter whether you’re in the middle of a heated argument or are getting down and dirty, they just know.

Nights at home consist of junk food, the occasional takeaway and raunchy TV series’. Game of Thrones, The Boys, basically anything with explicit sex scenes, nudity and bloody violence has Kid super game. He’ll indulge you with series like Bridgerton and True Blood if they’re your cup of tea. For the tits, he’ll absolutely power through.

However, Kid will complain if you want to watch something that’s not to his taste at all, namely cheesy chick flicks or long period dramas with no action whatsoever. He’d honestly rather die.

Despite that, he secretly really enjoyed Grey’s Anatomy. All the doctors just fuck each other and do surgery all day, so he thinks it’s a little cool.

He was absolutely not okay when McDreamy died, he had to excuse himself to hide in the bathroom for five minutes just so you wouldn’t see, and refused to watch past that point. Fuck Grey’s Anatomy and fuck TV script writers.

Was exactly the same over Ned Stark death, but he did manage to power on and keep watching through to the end.

Metal music is played almost constantly throughout the day. Rock too, especially glam and classic rock, but never anything else.

Date nights usually consist of going into town to get drunk at various pubs before partying the night away at all the nightclubs in the area, no matter how sleazy the places are. Going to gigs and festivals are also extremely common.

If you’re at a gig or a festival, Kid will let you sit on his shoulders so you have the absolute best view. He’ll also use his strength to push forward to the very front so you’re as close to the stage as possible. Praise him for this or he’ll get pouty.

If anyone tries to squeeze your bum or touch you inappropriately in any way while you’re sitting on his shoulders, Kid will beat the absolute shit out of them. No one’s cupping a feel without being punished severely afterwards. Same goes for if you’re crowd surfing, the minute he sees any hands creeping where they shouldn’t or trying to pull you down, he’s there with fists flying.

Kid will also accompany you to any gigs for musicians he’s not the biggest fan of, but expect him to stand there looking annoyed and miserable. It’s the handsome boy bands that he hates taking you to see the most, he gets far too jealous.

As a couple you have the most basic weekly routine that you had to make up to keep the household functional. Yes, you had to make it, Kid certainly wouldn’t. All household chores are to be done by Sunday at the latest and grocery shopping has to be done the same day so you don’t starve for the rest of the week or spend all of your money on takeaway. Sunday’s are always primetime for the most arguments because of this.

Kid is in charge of taking all of the bins out and he hates it. You’re pretty much on your own for the rest of the cleaning.

Expect him to make a lot of mess because Kid is entirely incapable of tidying up after himself. He’ll leave his clothes all over the floor, bread crumbs all over the bench and if he misses when he does try to throw something into the bin it’ll sit on the floor until you tend to it.

Kid doesn’t know how to work a washing machine but he’ll hang the clean clothes on the washing line or put them on the radiators to dry for you.

Kid is the type of guy who leaves crumbs in the butter and puts plates with food still on them straight into the sink.

Killer is always over at the flat. Always. And Kid wouldn’t have it any other way. At this point, Killer may as well just move into your spare room because the two are always hanging out together.

Mornings are ridiculously hectic because both of you want to use the bathroom first. Don’t waste your time, Kid will often win because he’ll just wrestle you back down into bed and then sprint down the hallway to the bathroom before you’ve even had the chance to get back up.

If you’re not gaming or watching TV together, you’re listening to music and doing cute creative hobbies. Kid surprisingly likes to make jewellery, often pretty but Gothic in design. He’ll give you some of it and sell the rest on Etsy or eBay.

Kid can draw very very well. Mostly he focuses on mechanical looking designs, but sometimes he’ll just sit and draw detailed sketchings of you while you’re distracted doing something else. If you ask he’ll spend some time teaching you how to draw too, he’s not a patient or kind teacher though.

Kid is a fairly frequent Snapchat and Instagram user. He’ll post the standard stuff like photos from a recent gig he attended, pictures of his art and a snap of the coolest addition to his growing weapons collection. But of course there are the couple selfies too and photos of you bending over to pick something up from the floor with a caption like ‘my view when I’m fucking them tonight’. He may or may not delete those depending on how nicely you ask him.

Kid often gets banned from social media and from online gaming for periods of time. During these periods Kid gets extra volatile because he’s so bored. He’ll also get extra horny because in his mind all he can do is watch porn and fuck. So, beware, he will hound you.

He either stays up stupidly late which makes him extra grumpy in the morning or he’ll go to bed at the same time as you so he can get away with cuddling without it being seen as him being cute or romantic.

Your home is usually messy and chaotic, I’m sorry, it’s just the truth. No matter what kind of cleaning you do, Kid does not care enough about it and really isn’t going to pull his weight. People best not come to his flat if they’re going to bitch at him about his mess; he’ll gladly tell anyone who does to fuck off.

Kid will get rid of any spiders for you if you’re frightened of them, he’s your reliable pest controlling man, so don’t worry. But he will definitely tease you during and after disposing of it. He also might pretend like he’s going to come over and throw the spider at you to scare you a bit, but honestly, he 100% wouldn’t follow through because he knows you might break up with him or at least put a sex ban on him for a while if he did. He’s really not going to risk that.

Honestly a sex ban is probably the easiest way to get him to comply, but you can’t use it too much or he’ll wise up and know you’re full of shit.

Speaking of sex, the man has quite the libido and the stamina to match. You have to keep up with all of his wants and needs, but he’s not selfish enough to not tend to yours.

Fucking is for every day/night of the week and he will be outraged if you try to to make any sort of schedule for it. When he’s got the urge, and that’s often, he’ll come to you. He’s not going to wait for Wednesday night after work and dinner. Fuck that.

Another DnD reader Brainrot in SAGAU

Dungeon Master

Reader

Summary: You get Somehow Isekaid with your player party of 3 to a game you also love playing Genshin Impact.

GN!reader, semi imposter AU, also Semi Self Aware AU.

Part 1 >Part 2

------------------------------------------------------

"God I'm Beat!" One of your party members, Angel flopped down on the couch said pulling out her phone. "I mean to be fair....They Did add a lot of puzzles and mind fucking stuff, AGAIN" another one of your friends Ben, glared at you. "Oh come one, it wasn't that bad" you mused.

While Jake who was your rouge, slammed his can of soda down and pointed at you voice cracking like he's about to cry shouted "YOU MADE DO A MY LITTLE PONY PUZZLE A MY LITTLE PONY PUZZLE" Everyone bursted out laughing. After finishing up the left over chips you all decided to Co-op in Genshin. Getting super lucky pulling for artifacts and mob drops seem to multiply. "man I'm sleepy.." you said. "C'mon just a couple more domains just to finish up my transient resin" Ben said stretching.

"Alright fine... I'll carry your sad asses again" you breathed out. And some how after you all entered the domain you all got flash banged, not from your phones and devices but from the room. "JESUS CHRIST!" You guys all jump awake at that shout from Angel. "What the fuck angel!" Ben said hitting the back of her head.

"I'm...I'm touching Grass" Jake looked happy. "bro to would grass be doing in my apart...ment, Why the fuck is there Grass!? and Why are we outside!?" you got up quickly in confusion, you were in your apartment a while ago. "Man my back hurts what am I laying on." Jake said stretching his back till it pops. Under him was 4 binders, an oddly Bedazzled one, one covered in stickers, a simple plain binder, and a familiar binder with your name on it. All had the same thing on the side with your names on it. "Our DnD Binders..." you read and spoke in a whisper. Angel started picking hers up. "There's a new character page in mine" she said. All of them flipped through it. "Why do I have a new one as well....but a story" you said flipping your binder to show them. "DMPC maybe?" It was a logical possibility. "But I didn't write neither of these??" You were just as confused as your friends but neither did they.

After Discussing you all decided to play along as the characters. You started walking around high on guard for what ever may appear. When your Binder glowed. “What does it say?” Jake leaned on you trying to read it. “Beware the Glorious ones for something is wrong, for something has grown and took the throne, Oh Glorious ones restore the dream, Remove the fear from all the peoples hearts, and nature would be evergreen.” You read carefully. “Man I hate how you write cryptically” Ben who is apparently more horrible at puzzles and cryptic messages than you thought. “Well that explains the 8 at your intelligence...I’m starting to hate it too” whispering the last part.

When suddenly someone who bares a resemblance to a familiar character ran up to you. “HALT IMPOSTERS, YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR IMPERSONATING THE GLORIOUS ONES” You all looked at each other. “Man that’s Bullshit” Angel said, that’s the 1st time she cursed in person. Well I guess you guys don’t have much choices or do you?

Old Faith 6🟢

It didn’t take long for the Bishops to return from their search of the forest again. The whole cult was looking for the missing Bishop. Many people were still searching for him in this moment. Shamura stayed behind this time in the event that he returned before they do.

“Please, on Gaia’s soul, please bring him back safely. Bring my baby brother back safely”

He thought. While he was thinking that, Leshy had just teleported back to his little palace with Noelle on his back. He had to act fast to avoid detection.

“Come, hide here for now”.

This was clearly a bedroom of some sort. A bedroom of a forest dwelling bishop. Vines everywhere, some very cool nicknacks and other stuff. She didn’t get a chance to take it in, because she was stuffed in a crawl space temporarily.

“There is some food in there, don’t be loud. I will be back as soon as possible, okay?”

He said. Noelle nodded. Leshy then pulls his bed back in front of the crawl space. No one really comes inside besides him. He gets out but before he announces himself, he cuts the stitches from his abdomen to make him bleed. Some spots have healed, except this one. Kallamar would have to look at this one.

“B-brother…”

He said weakly. Bishop Shamura turns to not see Heket or Kallamar. But Leshy! He leaps from his throne to his brother.

“My brother! My baby! Are you alright?!?”

He said. He was bleeding from his abdomen, so he was hustled to medical care immediately.

“PHYSICIANS! QUICKLY!”

He shouted. Heket and Kallamar returned shortly after. Apparently they weren’t allowed to scold him until further notice.

While Kallamar was treating him, he was also lifting some residue from his body. Someone tried to treat him

“Whomever tried to treat you was clearly unskilled”

“It clearly was enough to get me home”

“ you are in no position to say that! We were worried sick about you!”

Heket said sternly. Leshy looked away

“I know, this…girl convinced me that my injuries were too dire for me to leave so I stayed.”

Everyone’s heads perked up. Someone actually was able to break his stubbornness?

“Well, if that’s the case, whomever it was did stitch some very important areas closed. Not well, but they are closed and not infected. I guess…it does beat finding you dead. Alright, that should do it. Now I want you to rest and not leave your palace for a couple of days-“

“Weeks”

“Oh, right. Your grounded until further notice”

Usually Leshy would go against it, but then he remembered that he literally had a lamb in his crawlspace so he didn’t fight it. Again, also unusual. Leshy leaves to go back to his palace with the assistance of Heket.

“He’s acting weird, right?”

Kallamar said. They both nodded.

“You think that girl…that girl did something to him?”

“To Leshy? Nonsense! I’ve never seen him lavish attention on anyone like that. You think we need to find that girl?”

Shamura shuts all of that down

“The cult is too weak right now. Leshy having a little playmate isn’t on the agenda unless it impacts his work. I’ll go check on him when I have time”

They said. Leshy returns back to his palace and sneaks into the crawlspace. Now the crawlspace is honestly pretty cool, according to Noelle. Sure it’s a bit dusty but it was honestly like a hidden room. It has a bed, a chest, a few books on a bookshelf, some old board games and some mementos. He finds Noelle with a book in her hand.

“Oh hey! What’s up? Check this out! This is the lady I saw that gave me the wings!”

She showed him the book. Just more confirmation that she is telling the truth. It was Gaia.

“Wow, even you got to meet her. What was she like?”

Leshy said as they spoke. She told him about Gaia, only what she knew, since she didn’t know much about her. Gaia, then hearing them talking, chimed in from Noelle’s back

“-so let me get this straight, your trapped somewhere after Shamura sealed you?”

“Yes, there is a lot of the story that we haven’t explained yet, but for the time being, this is how we can communicate”

Leshy understood, but soon he hears someone calling him. It was Shamura

“Go, Noelle and I will be quiet”

She said as Leshy bolted out and moved his bed back to its original spot. Noelle was now back behind Leshy’s room. She decided to take a nap, since she technically didn’t eat or slept since they left. She didn’t realize she was tired until she hit the pillow.

TWO trailers for House of the Dragon were released on Thursday.

Among other things, we get a quick peek at Cregan Stark.

^^^ That's Cregan (Tom Taylor) on the left talking with Jacaerys Velaryon (Harry Collett) whose ride up north on Vermax seems to have caused his hair to grow out quite a bit. Since they are apparently at The Wall, it's possible that Jace first landed at Winterfell where he was told that Cregan wasn't home; though it's also possible that they journeyed up to The Wall together for some business.

House of the Dragon showrunner and co-creator Ryan Condal now speaks with EW exclusively to unpack some of the big secrets from the footage. Season 2 picks up directly after the events of the season 1 finale, which saw Aegon, Rhaenyra's half-brother, crowned king of Westeros behind her back, even though she was the chosen successor of their father, the late king Viserys (Paddy Considine). "This is not a story of goodies and baddies, black hats and white hats," Condal says of the dueling Blacks and Greens. "It's a story of this family that's been rent open by this dispute over who is meant to wear the crown after Viserys passes. Some people think it's Rhaenyra, some people think it's Aegon, and then there are other people within who think, 'Why should it be one of the two of them? Maybe it should be somebody else. Maybe it should be me!' The fun of this Greek tragedy is seeing, when you introduce a power vacuum to a world like this, how all of these individuals react." [ ... ] Hundreds of years before the age of Sean Bean's Eddard Stark and Kit Harington's Jon Snow, Cregan Stark is the Lord of Winterfell. Actor Tom Taylor (The Dark Tower, The Kid Who Would Be King) debuts in the Rhaenyra-themed trailer... well, from the back at least. In the season 1 finale, Rhaenyra's son Jacaerys Velaryon (Harry Collett) flew north to rally his mother's supporters. That will include a stop to meet with Lord Stark, and the footage shows Jace walking with Cregan along the top of the Wall. "He's very powerful," Condal says of the character. "Everybody's vying for his army. He's quite a bit younger than Ned Stark was, so it's interesting to see the Young Wolf, the young Stark lord, and how he carries himself in the world, and the burden that's on his shoulders being the Warden of the North. I'm excited for the audience to see and experience that."

Ryan Condal teases a significant battle.

There are various key battles that occur in the timeline of the Dance of the Dragons, but given Ser Criston's presence, a good guess would be the Battle of Rook's Rest. Of course, Condal will neither confirm nor deny any specific theories. "This season, we shot two of the largest sequences that certainly I've ever done as a maker of television, certainly that House of the Dragon has ever done," Condal teases. "I don't know that they're bigger necessarily than anything Game of Thrones has done, because they got pretty big in the end. But certainly we're going to see new things that you have not seen before within this world. There's some pretty epic stuff to come. It's just a couple months away, guys."

ok asoiaf/hotd thoughts…idk if there is even that much to say about this? but like. now that hotd is out and has been watched by a bunch of people and lots of interesting discussions have been had around it (and terrible ones but let’s ignore those for now)…i care even less about dany than i did before. and the idea of her restoring targaryen rule to westeros is The Worst. so now i’m just kind of like…what’s her point in the story??? i guess the dragons could help with the winter apocalypse stuff and fight the others and all that but dany herself? i just can’t picture her having a place in westeros at all, at least not in a way that i would find narratively satisfying. and this also ties into the idea of jon embracing his targaryen heritage (gross) and getting the iron throne which would also be stupid bc we’ve seen the targs destroy each other and themselves and the country so sticking one of them back in charge is just ridiculous. and the two of them are probably the strongest candidates for “the prince that was promised” so what does this mean for that whole prophecy?? idk what my question is i’m just rambling at this point lmao…i guess i’m saying that twow and ados should partly be about the real End of the targ dynasty and if they’re not than idk what we’re doing here. sorry if this is nonsensical lol

okay so both of these are kinda asking the same questions so i'll talk about it here!!

the idea of targ restoration is one of those theories that has a couple different interpretations and the one you described is like, kinda the worst of them lol.

like the idea of dany winning and surviving the end is not an unfounded, nor irrational theory and no one is wrong for wanting that to happen-- why shouldn't she win versus anyone else if she maneuvers in the right ways and effectively wins the game!

i think what i personally take issue with is the version of this that posits dany's conquest as a Moral Good and something that NEEDS to happen because of nebulous down-the-road threat that she doesn't even know about yet. and that other characters arcs (jon's, tyrion's, varys even?? are all veering towards targaryen restoration). i've even seen them claim that the entire point ASOIAF as a whole is about targ restoration. nothing else matters its all about getting them dragons back in power, which i think is the most WILDLY insane thing i've ever heard in my life.

i think this theory of 'targ restoration' is one that wants to have it both ways- for dany to fight and win a war of conquest, but also not be seen as a villain because of it (because of the fans own need to be on the Moral Right of things) (there's a larger discussion here about fandom and morality politics especially in asoiaf)

and frankly... that just isn't how it works.

and this is mainly bred from dany stans who never wanted dany to be anything other than a 100% Good Person who cannot be challenged on a moral level and she is always on the right side of every conflict regardless of nuance. and so when HOTD makes up this whackadoodle prophecy of aegon NEEDING to do a conquest and he was totally justified in all the fucked up shit they did, it was because of some vague threat of the Others and the Long Night to justify their dynastic claims to Westeros. (i'll be honest, i think ole king joe made that one up)

not to mention i think they've completely lost sight of the narrative function of the targaryen dynasty as a relic of a bygone era and dany IS the last of it.

and if we're being completely honest, from what i've seen of the most hardcore targ nation stans, most of them don't really care about the prophecy or the threat of the Others, but that her capacity to help should be used as political leverage (as in the show) to enforce the subjugation of everyone else. and that in fact, they should be grateful because she's the ultimate yass queen girl boss slay etc

but if that's the takeaway you get from the Feudalism Is Bad And The Chair Is A Metaphor For It books, then idk what to tell you. there's a lot of ways that you can interpret what grrm writes, but i can promise you that Conquest Is Good Sometimes is not one of them. characters want to be their own heroes and will always justify themselves however they need, but that's not the intention the reader is meant to take away from it - or at best should feel challenged by.

and dany is absolutely one of those characters. even tho she's not my personal favorite, she's a character that you're meant to both sympathize with because you've been on this whole journey with her, but also be challenged by the hard decisions ahead. its not about cut and dry good/evil, but understanding her motivations and why she makes those choices.

i think it's no question that dany will play a major part in the conflicts to come in the north and the war against the white walkers. to what capacity, i have no idea. as azor ahai, as nissa nissa? as somehow both? no idea. but what i think ultimately what dany will have to war with internally, will be choosing her war of conquest (the thing that's defined her personal growth and all of her strength) and the war for humanity.

the reason why i hate 'targ restoration' is because it reduces so many characters into this wildly simplistic box based on dynastic lineage. i super hate the inclusion of tyrion in this theory because he is Not a targaryen and that isn't the point of his story at all. and even tho jon's father is rhaegar, a large part of his arc revolving around identity is him carving out one for his own. all for him to start going by 'jon targaryen' in the end??? i litchrelly hate it. i do think jon and dany's arc are going to intertwine in some way and i hope its way more compelling than it was in the show, at least for my own sanity.

and lastly to the point of what dany's place in the world will be, i think that's something she struggles with now and will also struggle with in the future. there's the surface level wants and broad-stroke politics, but what i think is interesting will be to see a character like her rise to the heights that she will no doubt achieve in terms of Plot, but all she wants is the house with the red door.

there's an innate tragedy to just wanting to be as safe and home as she was when she was five, even if it was temporary, and what it will mean for her to ever have that again. this is really the difference between her and her brother viserys. he DOES remember, that WAS his life and his insanity is fueled by that being stripped away like so many other children in war. but it was never dany's. idk what the end of the series means for dany, but i really cant see the end of her story being with her sitting on that throne and restoring that dynasty from hell.

#this is a long winded way of saying i hate this theory so much and i hate targ nation especially #asoiaf #long thots #asoiaf ask

"Well, I was robbing casinos back then, of course. I wasn't going by Countess Foxbite at that time, no fancy name or mask, didn't need em, just had to look the right amount of rich and stupid to get wherever I wanted and work some extra "magic" if the place was segregated, and not forget to pack the six-shooter in the purse just in case it was one of those nights." "Sure, I'd been around the block. Diamonds, train robberies, cattle rustling, done most of em, but running casinos to the ground is what I liked the most, only part of it I still miss. It was the civil solution to getting them out of Foxhole Boulevard and the not-civil ones looked more appealing every day. They get a legal pass for robbing folks blind every hour of every day, so playing by their rules and being better at it is only fair game. They called on Lady Luck's name, but it was I who was sweeping her off her feet and taking her home to treat her right, and she repaid those nights with a few decades extra for me. "Can't be ungrateful, I suppose, but if I had much patience for men I might have tried romancing the Grim Reaper instead."

But word on the street then was that Edward Triton, the, pardon my language please, pigfuck pimp bastard that ran Toulonville for 20 years, had heard of these rowdy little crooks making noise around town, muscling on his territory. Some loud fat guy from New Orleans was fencing expensive goods he’d acquired overseas and not paying tribute, and I hardly have to tell you Prince Pavonini loved his character every bit as much then as he did until the end of his life." "But it wasn't just us two. Some amphibian monster woman from who-knows-where out of town was going around beating up and kicking his men out of establishments, think she ate a couple of arms too many, and there was this other new one then, messing around with policemen, like sending music boxes to the stations or hijacking the police radio broadcast with uninterruptible music and leaking stuff to the press and public radio that implicated the cops and Triton."

"The former was the first Sally Manda, first that I knew anyway, lost count of how many times she regenerated or cloned herself after a point, and the latter was Legato Sphynx. That was how they met, they and Pavo had a, complicated relationship back then. Well I guess it never stopped being complicated, marriage always overcomplicates everything, never had the patience for that nonsense, but anyway -" "Triton had gotten fed up with us one day, rounded us all up to torture and kill us, send a message across town that he was not to be messed with. Conveniently for us, the poor old man just happened to die of a heart attack that very night. Legally ruled in the papers and everything, go figure." "I can't tell you who did it. It was dark, there was a fight, then we were breathing and he was not, that's all there is to it. You might not believe me, but none of us claimed credit for it. We knew whoever did would be next." "Well no, we didn't get much choice in the matter. None of us wanted it, but it was either taking Triton's throne or dying at the hands of his mob. "The Carnival Court of America" was our idea, the name was Pavonini's little flourish, stealing the Camelot Circle's abbreviation and making a mockery out of it, tell the "white hats" what we thought of them. We'd formed the Carnival Court, split up all his old territories and assets among ourselves, and got everyone to join in or stay out of our way." "Back then, we made a hell of an impression, everyone wanted to grab a mask and a name and jump in on it. Cause suddenly, we didn’t have to take shit from the mafia or the triads or the cops, and do you know how liberating it is to not have to be scared of the cops anymore? It was like we were all immortal for a while there."

"Yes, it was a stupid idea, what else were we supposed to do? You think becoming a "hero" was a choice for people like us then? You don't know how lucky you have it."

"I don't…okay, maybe I do miss them, it's never nice being the last to leave the party. We, Pavonini and I had a fight, the last time I saw him. We talked about you. About what it was like, after he rescued you and brought you here, I moved in when Katrina happened and the pub became a shelter that needed tending to. I mean, four years, me, him and Gloria, trying to raise an orphan who can climb walls and rip through steel when he gets cranky. And you were just so angry, I was worried for you. I was afraid we were hurting or using you, cause we're "black hats". Can't tell you how much I hate that stupid name, but... It's what we do." "I knew Pavonini still wanted to fight this stupid war and was running out of time, that he blamed himself for everything and he sure as shit wasn't innocent but - I, look, the point is that he just couldn't let go. Of that life, of those games, of all that class warfare and hatred he got embroiled in. Of Sangrier. Sangrier is an addiction and I was the first to go cold turkey, and they all should have - Listen to me. I know how you feel, and I'm telling you got to let it go. You are not going to find anything in that auction. You are going to get yourself killed over nothing." "Pavonini is dead, Sangrier is invincible, and you got a DAMN good thing going on with those Emancipator people you're running with, seriously, don't throw that away. Please. For me and Gloria's sake, Marco -"

"I'm sorry, auntie Hazel."

"- Don't die the way he did."

hey pia, hope you don't mind answering

are there any stories or oneshots (in the Fae Tales verse or otherwise) that you haven't posted on ao3? And if you do, do you plan on sharing them at some point in the future?

thank you!

Hi anon,

Nothing I'd share, basically.

Everything that I'm comfortable putting on AO3, is on AO3. That's just how my brain works. I don't write stories and leave them on the computer if I think they're worth sharing, because my dopamine-desperate ADHD brain will always take the immediacy of posting something very close to when I've written it.

I have a couple of stories that I never really intended to release and still don't. One I wrote after Game Theory, and it's based on an AU where Crielle finds and tortures Gwyn, and Ash and Augus have to rehabilitate him. Another is a half-written imagining of a dark Ash in The Court of Five Thrones going beyond his level of bullying into sexual assault. And I have about 3 chapters of Gwyn going back to the Ratcatcher to pay his debt, but that's a sad story, and I no longer believe it happens, so that will stay with me too. I also have no inclination to finish it, so...yeah. All of those things are like 7~ years old.

They aren't good enough to post, and they weren't written with the intention of posting them. They were written for my eyes only, basically! Usually it's stuff that is super whumpy and probably close to torture/misery porn, for my darker moments, and I never plan on finishing them or fleshing them out. It's just enough that when I read it, I can imagine the rest.

I don't think there's anything else though. Just some plot bunnies for other AUs I had re: Gwyn/Augus, and Gwyn/Augus/Ash, but I'm kind of done writing them all now, outside of writing and finishing The Nascent Diplomat, so most have been just languishing on my computer for 5-7+ years.

(Oh and then I guess there's Tradewinds-the-Fae-Tales-Novel, but that's a whole other story).

#asks and answers #pia on writing #pia on fanfiction #i post like 99.9% of my writing #everything else is very much for my eyes only #because it's bad #and because i didn't write it for anyone else in a very literal sense #i would rather delete the stories than have other people (except for my beta) read them #oh i also once wrote a fanfic for a thorki fanfic that i'll never put online #but it was a story where i felt thor was being whumped unfairly with zero meaningful comfort #and the story was almost wholly loki-sympathetic #so thor's journey was just to become more loki-sympathetic #but not really the other way around?#so i wrote my own story where thor got some actual comfort and validation and like...good stuff #but i could never have put it up #because it was basically my version of a fix-it for a fanfic #anyway yeah i've done like bits and pieces #if it's not up it's not up for a reason daslkfjdsfsad

A couple things I’ve done, The Inner World deserves so much better 🙁

It’s a good game that has so much potential, unfortunately it wasn’t so popular

🔆Lol some spoilers ahead(just me info dumping and ranting)🔆

The series would’ve been fire too, I want to see the sillies being silly in their world of soil. I want to know more about the world and it’s lore, like the lore was pretty solid but it had some slight issues. Though I didn’t notice them till I played both games about 7 times back and forth.

I also want to know more about Conroy and Emil, I get that they’re the bad guys and all but I wanna know about their life.

We know about Robert’s, him being taken as a baby after conroy ‘killed’ (well they weren’t really killed now were they?) off the dynasty and never being able to leave the palace while also being neglected by conroy, and we know about Laura’s too, her being hidden under the Mechatre plotting the death of conroy while also trying to find her dad yada yada alright we know that good stories 10/10, but what about the bad guys.

What we know about Conroy is that he was supposedly an orphan along with the other two Windmonks (how Mama Dola found them is beyond me) and that they were all raised in the mountains, specifically the Shovel Mountains, so basically they were brothers. We don’t know what their lives were like during that time or how they were raised in those mountains or anything really. I guess at one point Conroy was just like “Ottilie’s mad fine tbh” and Y’know…did the DEED, that scandalous Windmonk… but I understand him I mean Ottilie IS fine asf.

Fast forward Conroy wants to implement the death penalty for giggles and the king says no, so Conroy says “fuck you” and plans world domination which includes having Reminepo (Laura’s father duh) build ‘wind gods’ AKA Basylians. Y’know the deal, boom boom you’re stone and you’re stone and you’re stone and OO look a baby mine now fuck all of you FFFFFFFFFFFFFFLOOTnoses.

And some small notes I found is that Conroy dabbles in Art (which I think he displays in the throne room as you see down the hallway with all the abstract art but I’m not sure), he keeps plants on windowsills specifically the spiky ones, he takes knock out pills when he can’t sleep or is feeling lonely (poor guy), he hates fosfoses AND tumblemice calling them evil (dawg..) but loves his killer hedgehog Fonk (I do too but make it make sense), I did have more but while I was writing this a friend texted and when I texted back I forgot what I was gonna write for this but in conclusion Conroy is a LOSERMAN despite his narcissistic, good-doer image.

Now Emil is kinda difficult, we know that he tumbled down a windfountain as a child (he was probably a toddler when he fell despite his brother saying he was a baby) and we don’t know HOW he survived the fall but he did and ended up in front of the wacky stuff store where he was taken in by his adoptive parents, whom are unnamed, and his brother, who also doesn’t have a name (well, more so everyone forgot what his name was) but is referred to as Emil’s Brother, Emil probably had a good childhood seeing how he has a photo of him and his family in his office which is shown on the bookshelf he has. They look pretty happy to me, besides Emil, born emo.

Someway he heard about conroy and absolutely Fell head over heels (there’s no way he’s straight. Look at him. Plus that time when he said he’ll NEVER be as attractive as Conroy.

It’s like that “I’m not gay but damn” “you don’t have to be gay to appreciate a man’s beauty.” “Nah bro I’d FUCK you”)

Then he got all Conroy obsessed, like really obsessed. Killer obsessed (he’s so real.) Anyways somehow someway he showed up with a mob of asposians to the wind chapel, WHICH MAY I REMIND YOU. WAS DEEP WITHIN THE ROOT FOREST? HOW’D HIS ASS GET THERE AND WHAT WAS THE REASON HE WAS THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE, anyways he saw conroy’s remains and was like “NOOOOOOOO THE SOON-TO-BE LOVE OF MY LIFE IS DEAD. you dirty flutenoses KILLED him 😾” “😯” boom bam bang flutenoses are hated, conroyalism is a thing yada yada deedoo yknow what happens at the end.

Some small notes of Emil is that he can get so obsessed with something that it scares people well that’s what his brother says (again, he’s so real), apparently he didn’t have friends if not a couple of them so he was probably lonely in childhood but he still had a good life with his adoptive family, he didn’t really choose to be alone though he did try to fit in but I guess him wanting everything to be orderly and wanting little to no fun drove people away, alright we get it. You’re OBSESSED with conroy. I mean cmon you have him everywhere, your office is filled with it, the wacky stuff store has a whole shelf dedicated to him, you’re spending the rest of your life for one thing only and that’s to be Conroy’s second hand man.

Istg he’s in love with Conroy there definitely is some hints of fruit in him.

And one last thing on the small notes, Emil is scary good at sculpting stuff and building, he’s spent 2-3 years on the cable car sculpture thing, in his office he has a model of Conroy’s palace on display sitting on the bookshelf, this means he could technically put conroy back together and revive him. But he’d have to figure out how, I mean conroy did shatter into tiny pieces.

I think that’s all I wanted to dump for now, but I’m very passionate about TIW and will do anything for that series. If you put in enough effort, you could find a way to make TIW 3 filled with new critters and characters. Though this is all fantasy, I know that there will never been another TIW nor will the series ever be released unless a miracle happens. But I’m keeping it realistic so my mind doesn’t build up hope that shouldn’t be there.

None the less even fanart that was made years ago makes me sob tears of joy, maybe one day TIW will get more recognition and the love it deserves.

Do I ship Conremil (conroy x Emil)??? Maybe…maybe….(absolutely 100% hands down ARFARFARFARAFRFARAF yes just yes my dictator husbands)

Game of Thrones - 60 JON VIII (pages 628-640)

Jon receives some get well presents. Lord Commander Mormont bequeaths him with Longclaw, and Maester Aemon bequeaths him with philosophy and a warning for the road ahead.

Jon thanked all the gods that no one but Ghost saw him writhing on his bed, whimpering from the pain. And when at last he did sleep, he dreamt, and that was even worse. In the dream, the corpse he fought had blue eyes, black hands, and his father's face, but he dared not tell Mormont that.

Milk of the Poppy giving folks all the trauma fluffing dream sequences.

working through stuff or enigmatically prophetic dreams = 🥛

"- There will be more, though. I can feel it in these old bones of mine, and Maester Aemon agrees. The cold winds are rising. Summer is at an end, and a winter is coming such as this world has never seen." Winter is coming. The Stark words had never sounded so grim or ominous to Jon as they did now.

*has never seen in the 8,000 ish years since the last Long Night.

Yet the wolf sword actually seemed lighter than the blades he had wielded before. When Jon turned it sideways, he could see the ripples in the dark steel where the metal had been folded in on itself again and again. "This is Vlayrian steel, my lord." he said, wonderingly. His father had let him handle Ice often enough; he knew the look, the feel. ... The bastard blade glittered in the pale sunlight, dark and deadly. "Valyrian steel," he declared solemnly, trying to sound as pleased and proud as he ought to have felt. "I heard of a man who had a razor made of Valyrian steel," declared Toad. "He cut his head off while trying to shave." ... "I was heir to my father's blade once," he said mournfully. "Heartsbane. Lord Randyll let me hold it a few times, but it always scared me. It was Valyrian steel, beautiful but so sharp I was afraid I'd hurt one of my sisters. Dickon will have it now."

Valyrian steel = 🥛🥛🥛 Because Longclaw is brought up throughout the chapter, for this chapter, I'm only counting mentioned Valyrian steel objects, even if the razor is just a tall tale. Although if it was the name it would only be one extra drink...

"Ser Endrew?" Jon did not know the name. "Ser Endrew Tarth, a good man. -"

Tarth? Brienne's from Tarth! Is... that... related or relevant, or did GRRM run out of names at some point?

"- He's bringing the hand your Ghost tore off the end of Jaffer Flower's wrist. I have commanded him to take ship to King's Landing and lay it before this boy king. That should get Joffrey's attention, I'd think... and Ser Alliser's a knight, highborn and anointed, with old friends at court, altogether harder to ignore than a glorified crow."

Ooohhh, he doesn't know how thoroughly Joffrey cleaned court, or how little Joffrey cares about anything that's not himself, or himself abusing his power over people... everyone can see several ways this might go wrong, right?

... Murphy? Murphy what are you doing? Noooo!!! Stop, stop, it's already going so wrong!

Jon made himself smile back at them, but his heart was not in it. He knew he should be pleased, yet he did not feel it. His hand ached, and the taste of anger was in his mouth, though he could not have said who he was angry at or why.

My guess? part of that is the pain and recent trauma Jon went through, coupled with the fact that he just got "Off-brand" Ice.

He was just given the thing that he's been craving for much of his life, but it came from the wrong person. When there's that much emotional attachment to idea or event, having it be not correct in any way can be very upsetting. It's like a taunt or a tease "here's a taste of what you wanted, but you have to enjoy it knowing it will never be the 'real' thing, it will only be a shadowy imitation of what you wanted" and that's because there's a major component missing. But when it comes to this specifically? The most vital component is missing, because strip it down to its base, it's not about the accolades or the sword, but the emotional connection and acceptance from Ned. The removal of that final barrier between Jon and the Stark family.

His friends meant well, but they did not understand. It was not their fault, not truly; they had not had to face Othor, they had not seen the pale glow of those dead eyes, had not felt the cold of those dead black fingers. Nor did they know of the fighting in the riverlands. How could they hope to comprehend? ... ... and suddenly he found himself remembering how he'd found him, that day in the late summer snow. They had been riding back, and there he was, white fur almost invisible against the drifts. He was all alone, he thought, apart from the others in the litter. He was different, so they drove him out.

Now back up a moment, Jon. As I recall it, Ghost was the only one of the pups who'd even opened their eyes, these were newborns trying to suckle from a dead wolf. Did they drive him out? Or is it more likely that he, the eldest of the litter, or at least the fastest to start adapting to their new environment, tried to go looking for something that he could actually ingest? Did they drive him out, or are you projecting your own feelings of alienation onto Ghost?

Maester Aemon: It's easy to throw everything away for honor when you have nothing to lose.

I feel like it's important Aemon (formerly of House Targaryen) is the one who gives him this speech, both as someone who has faced the same losses Jon's about to, but also as one member of the Targaryen bloodline to another, a bloodline that puts so much importance on their blood and their status that comes from that blood.

For Aemon to stand there and say "I've made the hard choices, and you will have to make them as well, but my choices aren't yours, you have to decide what's right for you" while I know (roughly) where his choices will lead... It just feels very much like "family doesn't begin and end with blood, it's also a choice." No matter what Jon decides now or later, it's a choice. Not destiny, not fate, not some biological imperative, just. A Choice.

Stuff I liked in 2022

‘Saul’ good (and other TV)

It’s not easy to say goodbye to Better Call Saul, the supposed end of Vince Gilligan’s Albuquerque cycle. I bought my dad the complete Breaking Bad on DVD for Christmas in 2014, and we watched the entire thing together, back before I had kids or a real full-time career. Jesse Pinkman, Nacho, Jimmy and Kim—these characters have meant the world to me for the better part of a decade, and Saul was absolutely the pinnacle.

El Camino, Saul season five, and the two halves of season six have been such a gift of flawless storytelling these last few years; sometimes they were the thing that got me out of bed in the morning. Logging into work on a Monday ain’t so bad when you’ve got more of Kim and Jimmy’s mischief to look forward to. Peter Gould, Gilligan, and company stuck the landing. If one of your favorite characters must die, you can’t ask for a more beautiful sendoff than “Rock and Hard Place.”

Bob Odenkirk’s book, Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama: A Memoir, was a great way to spend a weekend, as well, deepening my appreciation for an actor who’d already won my heart in the first couple seasons of Saul. (I’ll admit it: The character was never my favorite part of Breaking Bad. It took the Jimmy dimension to win me over and sell me on the idea of a spinoff. Mission accomplished, I guess.)

It’s a nice treat to see Odenkirk back in his home country of comedy, and it made for a good excuse to watch Mr. Show season one while I was waiting for Better Call Saul to come back from its mid-season break. Bob and I have a shocking number of things in common: five-nine, Irish-Catholic, Illinois guys, a cynicism born of trauma, severe impostor syndrome, et cetera. Anyway, I can’t wait to see what he does next.

I loved Atlanta season three; “New Jazz” was my favorite episode by far, probably because it focuses on Al (Paper Boi) and is weird even by Atlanta standards. I also enjoyed Stranger Things season four, which was a definite high for that series—Joseph Quinn was brilliant. And as a Halo fan going all the way back to 2001, I mostly dug the TV adaptation’s first season, though the finale was a bummer.

I’m a couple seasons into a Mad Men rewatch, trying to fill the void left by the Gilliverse, and it’s a different show now that I’m a father with two kids and more of a career. Unbelievably good.

‘The Rings of Power,’ classic Tolkien, and other fantasies

This was the year I got really into epic fantasy outside of, say, the Elder Scrolls games. The Rings of Power came along just in time to cure my post-Saul blues, and it certainly did the trick. It’s a gorgeous (and expensive) spectacle, with a rich, expansive world, mythic stakes, and some really great performances. And have you seen how beautiful that cast is? I’ve been known to develop the occasional TV or movie crush, Your Honor, but Morfydd Clark’s Galadriel is in a league of her own. My God. She’s great in Saint Maud, too.

After Rings of Power, I rewatched the extended cuts of the movie trilogy and bought a stack of books for good measure—The Hobbit, Rings, The Silmarillion, The Fall of Númenor, Tolkien’s translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. I just finished Fellowship of the Ring, which is exquisite, and I’ve been reading The Hobbit aloud to my daughter. We’re about three-fourths of the way through that one.

I finally saw the original Willow and Legend (1985) earlier this year, and thought both were excellent. (The Legend Blu-ray from Arrow Video looks stunning.) House of the Dragon was pretty fantastic—as good as Game of Thrones in its earlier seasons, only more focused. And the Disney Plus Willow series is probably my second-favorite fantasy work of 2022; it’s playing around with the same kind of Lovecraftian terror as John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness, and I can’t help but see it as a riff on the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

‘Andor’ and more

There was some good star stuff on the tube this year. “The Tribes of Tatooine,” the second episode of Book of Boba, elevated that series above the disposable feel of Mandalorian season two (“The Believer” notwithstanding). And Deborah Chow’s Obi-Wan Kenobi gave those of us who grew up on the prequels a magnificent bookend to the Obi-and-Ani relationship.

Light & Magic, the six-part docuseries on ILM, offered a phenomenal overview of special-effects history beginning with the inception of Star Wars and ending with the biggest breakthroughs of the CGI era. You could easily do a second season on the last couple decades of blockbusters and stuff like StageCraft, but maybe that’s a series for down the road.

But of course no Star Wars discussion this year could pass without addressing the main event, Andor, which can safely be called the best Star Wars story since 1983. Tony Gilroy is a masterful writer and showrunner, responsible for much of what people loved in Rogue One, and he brings all his intelligence and rage and love to Andor. He and his crew ought to be very proud. Who knew that all Star Wars needed was more Andy Serkis and Diego Luna? Gilroy, evidently.

Shadow of the Sith, a 496-page novel by Adam Christopher, was another Star Wars highlight in 2022. If you’re looking for a good Luke Skywalker book, or a good Lando Calrissian book—or some spooky Sith magic—you’ll find all of that and more in this moving Rise of Skywalker tie-in. For those curious about Rey’s parents, this is largely their story, as well, and it’s beautifully done. My favorite Star Wars book in years.

Always gamin’

I’m not a full-time games journalist anymore, so my gaming habits are a lot more relaxed than they used to be. Which is to say I play to have fun, now, and I can’t recommend it enough. I buy far fewer new games these days, for one, though I did love Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, and several games I’ve started but not yet finished.

One of my biggest games this year was Final Fantasy VII Remake, which I finally finished on the PS5. Hell of a game—if any video game can be called a masterpiece, that one comfortably belongs in the category. I also rolled credits on Mass Effect 2 and 3, and thought the latter was far superior to the middle chapter in spite of the general consensus. Regardless of how you feel about the very end, that game is quite an achievement for BioWare, and I hope Dragon Age: Dreadwolf is even half as engrossing.

I spent a lot of time playing Fortnite and Call of Duty online this year—something I plan to do a lot less of in 2023—but had plenty of fun doing it. I replayed a lot of familiar favorites: Skyrim, Halo Infinite, Fallout: New Vegas, Miles Morales. Most of my hours on the Nintendo Switch were spent with KotOR and KotOR II, and I’m currently struggling through an attempt to replay Morrowind on the Xbox, which is both painful and rewarding. I’m rediscovering a lot of the reasons why I fell in love with it twenty years ago.

At the movies

I didn’t go to the theater much this year, but I did watch 209 movies—most of them at home on my 65-inch TCL 5-Series. My top ten films of 2022 were The Fabelmans, Top Gun: Maverick, Elvis, del Toro’s Pinocchio, Watcher, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Pearl, The Batman, Nope, and Hellraiser. Fabelmans and Top Gun in particular made my heart soar; it’s nice to see both Spielberg and Cruise still delivering career-best work a full two decades after Minority Report, which was my favorite movie for a long time.

Outside of those ten, I also loved Kimi, Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, Revealer, and Confess, Fletch.

As far as new-to-me classics, I had a very fulfilling year working my way through the gaps in my Carpenter and Mann viewing, if nothing else—They Live, Prince of Darkness, Elvis ’79, Big Trouble in Little China, In the Mouth of Madness, Cigarette Burns, Ali, The Insider, The Keep… I spent a lot of time studying my favorite Carpenter flicks last year as I wrote the treatment for a horror script that’s lived in my head for a while, but I didn’t want to watch Prince of Darkness till after I’d finished a detailed outline of the story. In 2022, I logged fifteen Carpenter films and seven from Mann.

I saw Citizen Kane, F for Fake, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Godfather, Part II, Solaris (2002), The Meyerowitz Stories (every bit as good as Marriage Story), Twin Peaks season two and The Missing Pieces, Killing Them Softly, Jaws, Your Name, The Gambler (the one with James Caan, not Marky Mark), Bonnie and Clyde, Near Dark, The Hidden, Silent Running, the original 3:10 to Yuma, Joe Kidd.

It’s been a hard, stressful, scary, transformative year. But I’m grateful for the strides I made, both personal and professional, and for the media and stories that inspired me along the way.
