Okay, review time!! If you are one of the oddballs who thinks you cant be critical of something you love I suggest you stop reading now before I ruffle your feathers. Iron flame, second in the empyrean series. I am gonna start with what I was not a fan of and then go into the shit I adored.
1) what in the actual fuck was the pacing of this book?? I can tell you what, it was non existent. There was none. Where I thought there was a lot of filler in the last book there was none in this one. We got snap shots of conversations and then *boom* more plot flew at you. The timeline of this book greatly suffered for it i think bc we end only a couple weeks, if that, after threshing, which happens sometimes in October. This book was actually so wild with times.
2) while it was a spectacular cliff hanger, xaden becoming venin pisses me off. Especially if Rebecca yarros isnt going to have him tell violet. Like if that small tid bit of a conversation we got wasnt him telling vi that he was venin then the entire romantic conflict of this book was rendered pointless and their going to be having the same fucking fight for the rest of the series and at rhat point I give up.
3) I understand that the revolution is trying to take down basgaith and make the world better or whatever the fuck but can someone actually formulate a real plan for me?? Because I feel like their mission is just, giving violet and xaden something to be pissed at each other about.
4) the entirety of cats character. I get that she was set up as a spin on the typical jealous ex. Like having her be bitter about xaden picking violet over her but OH WAIT it wasnt actually about the man it was about the crown, oohh not like other girls. Im a writer too I see the point. I dont care. I think it was trashy. If you wanted her to be a bitter spiteful ex then have her be a bitter spiteful ex, the whole crown thing was shallow.
OKAY haters your time is up now onto the shit that made my heart hurt with joy and sadness
1) xadens arc in this book. I really liked that he went from "transparency is never gonna happen" to losing his fucking mind over violet and giving her everything. I love feral men and he qualifies. I think his arc was really well done and i liked it.
2) I appericiate that violet stuck to her guns for this book. She wouldnt let xaden off without a fight and I loved that. She made him bow and scrape and I was eating it up. It was spectacular.
3) the throne room scene. Violet on the throne. "Im making a temporary point not a lasting vow of maschocism" xaden being feral.
4) that gets its own point actually, just xaden being completely feral this entire book healed a part of my soul.
5) andarna's little speech at the end where she was like "I waited for you violet" made me ugly cry. That was just so hopelessly good I loved it. Andarna in general heals my heart but that part was just *chefs kiss*
6) tarin being completely and utterly ready to eat people this entire book. Just, at every turn "I want lunch their pissing me off " was spectacular
7) every scene their squad was in. Rihannon, violet, sawyer and ridoc are my roman empire. Their bond is so amazing. The fact that they launched a rescue mission for violet. Rihannon being ready to kill xaden at every turn. Ridoc being so platonically and adorably in love with violet. Just- augh happy cries happy cries. I love it all. Their so special tbh.
8) I love xaden actually, just, the whole book every scene hes in lives in my brain.
9) I liked that we saw a small bit of violet being feral this book too. I hope that we get more of that in future books. I want more of violet losing her fucking mind. Hot, badass women covered in blood
10) Liam. Fucking Liam. When violet was kidnapped and Liam was there. Now, do I logically understand that he was a hallucination, yes, do i care?? No. He was a gift from Maleck I will be hearing no critiques on that. It was so fucking sweet and amazing. I love violet and Liam and Liam being dead so horribly breaks my heart. I loved Liam. Liams death lives rent free in my skull.

I stumbled on archetrope term coinings, and how do other archetropes feel about that?
For us at least, the thing with archetropes is you can be any archetype. There's people in my system with archetropes that are otherwise undescribed literary patterns. Several of us have tarot or fairy tales as archetropes. There's a level of identity freedom, creativity, and exploration.
With term coining, it feels like it's the antithesis of that to me. Like it's turning the focus onto the label or label hoarding aspects instead of that introspection, and making it so it needs to be a "thing".
I guess it also feels like if there were coining posts for "cloudkin" or "wyrmkin" or something like that. Like just because you were the first to make a flag for a label and post it on Tumblr doesn't make you the coiner of it inherently.

Nightmare whump for you where Bowser gets cursed by some enemy of his to have vivid and realistic nightmares every single time he sleeps. They consist of his kids or you being in extreme danger that he either can't save you from or that he's causing.
Just think about how much he would distance himself from the fear. It all feels so real to him everytime he looks at his claws he flashes back to the nightmares where your blood stains them. He starts losing sleep over it and you've gotta try to help him. You've also gotta get the kids to be more gentle around him because he's sensitive.
I'm finally getting to answering these oml -
Bowser would probably start to hate himself. Well, not hate, but he'd be wary. After the nightmares become more common and it becomes difficult for him to tell what's real and what was just a nightmare, he'd start acting differently. Gone would be his boldness. Rather than a blaze of fire he'd act like a withering ember trying to keep itself burning. He'd push you away either by busying himself or barely replying to you.
It's better that way right? It doesn't risk him hurting you.
Wrong.
He's so very wrong because you are not going to take it.
He'd never tell you exactly what happens in the nightmares but you understand the cause of them. You know who did it and you can infer what it's making him see. From the way he slouches around you and the children like a deflated balloon, to the way he keeps his fists clenched to hide his claws away, you don't need to guess to know what he sees.
It'd take a lot of coaxing for him to accept your comfort. He'd feel underserving and scared that he'd see you hurt in the waking world too - that that blood will stain his yellow scales red - but eventually he'd lean into your touch. He'd let you gently cup his snout in your hands and tell him how everything will be okay. He'd let your hold his paws and litter them with kisses.
Bowser would never say it, but that alone would ease a little bit of his fear.
Still, he wouldn't want to sleep in the same bed as you. He wouldn't trust himself. Not with the terror that follows him straight after being startled awake.
However, if we follow the fantasy castle layout, you'd have your own room joined to the king's and leaving the door open would be enough. You'd be able to hear when he's having a nightmare and though you might not be able to stop it entirely, you would be able to lull him out of it. you'd be able to talk him awake and then relax his mind from a distance.
You'd need to be very gentle, that's all.
And you'd need to explain that to the children too. "Be gentle." No more climbing his shell, no more running around and dragging him by his hands. They'd need to be gentle and careful so that Bowser is comfortable to push past this curse. Not like you'd mention that fact.
The older kids would understand the gist of it. They had either overheard the Magikoopas talk or they saw it in Bowser's eyes. The younger kids would have to be convinced.
.
"You all need to be gentle around the king for a little while, okay?"
"But why?"
"Because the king requires a little space. He's gotten... a little bit stronger and he needs time to adjust."
"But why?"
"Because he doesn't want to hurt any of you by accident."
"But we're strong too!"
"I know. You all are very strong. But the king is still frightened."
"But why?"
"Because he loves you."

Sometimes the heroes traveled through the portals without a hitch. This was not one of those times.
Sky stepped through the other side, shivering as the portal’s strange, cool aura dripped from him like water, and knew immediately that something was wrong. He glanced around, taking in looming canyon walls and sandy hills. Cacti, clusters of flowers, and thin bushes dotted several slopes like eccentric tufts of hair.
Sky had only a moment to realize that none of the others had come through the portal with him when the Master Sword suddenly pulsed in his hand. Letting instinct guide him, he spun around and raised the blade, expecting to see an enemy. Instead, he met the bright, golden eyes of a frightened stranger.
“You—!” the stranger began, fumbling awkwardly for the scimitar at his side. His dark hands shook when he finally held the weapon out. His grip was all wrong. “How did you…? How?”
Sky lowered the tip of the Master Sword and took a few steps back, trying to look less threatening. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you.”
He imagined that the man must’ve witnessed the portal before it vanished; it was a strange sight even for those accustomed to magic. Sky looked the man up and down, noting the geometric patterns on his green, black and gold clothes, as well as the intricately worked band of gold that held his red hair back from his face. Sky was positive he’d never seen this man before, but something about him seemed… familiar. “Have you by chance seen my companions?” he asked, knowing how the portals could affect time. It was possible the others had already been through the area. “There’d be eight of them. They, um, look a little like me.”
For some reason, that made the man swallow nervously. Sweat beaded along his hairline. Sky was suddenly reminded of Groose. “Eight?” the stranger croaked. “Eight more of you?” He muttered something else under his breath. Sky thought it might’ve been a prayer.
“Yes, but I assure you, we’re no threat to you. We—“
The man laughed humorously. “I know what you are,” he said with a sneer. “And I—I don’t know how you came back, but I swear by Din’s strength, I’ll destroy you again.”
Sky felt his awkward smile slip away. “Wh-what?” He took another step back just as the Master Sword pulsed again—less of a warning, more of a reassurance. He decided to trust Fi, hesitantly sliding the Master Sword back into its sheath. “I think there’s been some sort of misunderstanding. I’m not sure who you think I am, but I certainly don’t know you.” He held out both hands, palms facing the stranger, who made no effort to lower his own weapon. “Please, I promise I mean you no harm.”
“I know that blade,” the stranger said with a fierce scowl. His confidence was ruined by the way he continued to tremble fearfully. “You can’t fool me, Link.”
Sky blinked. Then he blinked again. “I… Sorry, who are you?”
“Of course you don’t remember. Why would you? Why would a demon remember the name of a mere man?”
“Demon?” Sky shook his head, but the stranger wasn’t finished.
“Well, this time, I’ll make sure it’s the last thing you ever know. I’m Ganondorf, and I won’t let you bring darkness back to the world, corrupter of Courage!”
Sky had a feeling this was about to get even more complicated.

THEORY TIME
So we know the federation experimented with hybrids. And Cucurucho is a talking bear(or at least I think, can’t remember if they confirmed it). So couldn’t he be a federation experiment?
It could explain they workers as well. Having enough traits of humans to feel emotions and have connections, but being loyal to the federation(also them not having names or faces or the ability to speak).
Also since Walter Bob had a family and Elena had a partner. It is possible that the federation made weird humanoid bear creatures, some escaped from the federation and now have families and stuff.
Cucuhurcho was also named by the islanders(if I remember correctly) and could also explain Jaidens lore about seeing two Cucuruchos at the same place.
I don’t think they can be robots because they consume drink and food and have blood(they corpses around the island of workers had a bunch of blood.
I also believe he is an experiment because I don’t believe that important federation people would be on the island. The islanders have tried(and succeed) in killing workers before. And also just from real life the people making big decisions sit inside a safe and warm office away from the bad stuff, delegating work to those below them. And while cucurucho does this as well, I refuse to believe he’s the boss of the federation.

The year is 1973, and Danny (in his thirties, but barely looking a day over 16) is hiding out in Naples at Clockwork's behest. This isn't his first sleeper agent gig under the Master of Time, and probably won't be his last. He got a job working the front counter at Joseph Morelli's bakery (who, in the bloodier hours of the evening, is known as Ice Pick Joe) and has become familiar with the regular patrons. One of his favorites is the charming Katya, who often comes by for a cornetto and a cup of coffee on her morning stroll. They gain a bit of a rapport, in part because not so many Napoletani speak Russian as well as Danny does, and in part because of their shared love of bone-dry sarcasm.
Danny is shocked to see her one fateful weekend, when the usual delivery boy is out sick and Joe sends Danny to deliver an order of baked goods to the infamous Goncharov household. He had no idea she was that Katya. But in retrospect, how many Katyas could there really be in Naples?

okay im bored and havent been writing this one shot like i should but i really want yall to hear my thoughts on this. so if you've read my au one shot please know i will probably only ever write in that au. im very much attached to low angst them getting married and having the girls. here are some hcs :
the girls are just like barbara, both of them, melissa is their safe space. ( barbara is still the big spoon. ) after a long day barbara can be found laying on melissa. both girls as babies and even as they grew could always be found asleep with or on melissa. one of the scenes in writing is actually barbara picking up taylor off of melissa and putting her in the nursey and "telling her off" because she wants her wife to herself. gina is like melissa with her first love language being touch. to this day those two can be found cuddling.
when barbara is pregnant, melissa becomes a housewife. she cooks every meal, she cleans every inch of the house, she drives, she gives her massages ... she refuses to let barbara do any hard work at home given how much she does at school. when barbara was pregnant with gina, melissa essentially had taylor all to herself because she refused to let barbara be burdened with it. ofc she burned herself out working so hard at home and at school. barbara ran melissa more baths than melissa's ever had in her life during those pregnancies.
melissa named gina. i feel like the name comes from some family member she has that passed when she was a child. they agreed on taylor's name although it came from like a list. but melissa just mentioned liking gina as a name one day and that was it.
the girls are about 2 years apart (you'll not see this in my one shot but i feel like in canon they are about 4 year apart). once they are both school age they like going to barbara's classroom after school. they had both their mother's as teachers for their corresponding grades. because of their closeness in age, taylor is the happiest big sister and gina clings to her a lot. ( i have a piece in the making of gina running up to taylor yelling "sissy, mama got me!" after being picked up from daycare. )
melissa is mama. barbara is mommy, mom, mother. granted let one of the girls say mother at barbara... melissa later gets ma. which she loves very dearly. melissa calls the girls "bellissima" more than she does barbara. barbara calls them "sweet girl" a lot. taylor tries out the nickname "tay" they all hate it even her.
melissa had the hardest time letting them go to daycare. she likes family care much more. "toni can watch them, hun." barbara likes family care too but they didn't have anyone, "we can't pay toni. she needs to be able to make money." ( yes toni will be a reoccurring oc in this au. ) shes just very protective of them as children. however as they grow up, barbara is seen as more protection. shes most likely to scare partners and friends and i cant tell you how many times melissa has had to talk her into giving someone a change. and the first time someone broke the girls hearts? melissa was worried she'd have to call in that enforcement favor.
melissa has never been the type to like playing in hair or even doing others hair. but with her daughters it is her favorite pass time. plus the girls find it as calming as mel does when barbara plays in her hair.
both girls took some kinda of dance at some point in their youth since one mother was a tap dancer and the other a ballroom dancer. both girls know how to sing a bat. the girls have recipes from both sides of the family - although they've cooked their mama's more.
barbara couldn't have red meats most of both pregnancies. its how mel realized she was pregnant with gina. gina later becomes a vegetarian. her mothers get a kick out of it. melissa hated not making food barbara craved but they really didnt need her consistently sick.
they had a small dog when the girls were young, not until gina was 4. medium sized idk the breed. he was as protective as mel and barb. taylor has melissa's quick temper. she's gotten in trouble for defending her mothers or gina more than once. gina doesnt have either of her mothers protective nature however she loves just as fiercely as they both do.
ive not decided on the girls beliefs as they got older but i know they were both christened. melissa is catholic but in a cultural way. as long as they were christened she didnt care what branch of faith it happened under. melissa would be more accepting of their girls being a different faith. barbara's not nasty about it just takes time to settle with and if she does have a moment she apologizes later.

Development. The collar and the watch.
The collar from D.azai and the watch from the Director are two of Ats.ushi's most prized/sentimental possessions.
The collar was ripped apart in the fight with Akut.agawa, but he has since repaired it to the best of his ability. There are occasions where he wears it, if he specifically feels like he's losing control of the tiger. He has no other way to cope with the tiger trying to take control, but he's slowly learning how to live without it with the help of Mo.ri and Ky.oka. He mostly carries it as a kind of an accessory or keeps it safely locked away most of the time. He has promised himself that when he is able to control the tiger fully, he will leave the collar at Da.zai's grave.
The watch from the Director is an item he has such mixed feelings about. Mori had wanted him to destroy it, but Ats.ushi couldn't bring himself to do it. He feels like apart of himself is represented by the watch, and if he destroyed it he would lose apart of himself he could never get back. It represents who he is, that he is alive. He promises that one day he'll be able to find something else that represents himself, or be able to simply just exist without it, but until then he takes extremely good care of the watch. He doesn't wear it often, as he doesn't want the kids he takes care of to try and get their hands on it and possibly break it, and in his detective verse he keeps it on his desk because he doesn't want it getting broken in a fight. But there are days, where he's feeling overly sentimental or nostalgic, where he'll wear it and keep messing with it as a nervous tick.

im about to make a whole ass fanfic ab Home bc I wanted to know Boove anatomy. Imma type out my loooong line of Qs below, pLeAsE answer them if you know, or give me theories!
How does the Boove know English, do they know other languages like French or Spanish? Do they know unpopular languages like Osage and Afrikaans? Bo (idk what his name is, the main Boove thats friends w Pat) and the other Boove have errors when it comes to speech, do they learn the languages or is it a translator type thing?
It's shown that in the Happy Human Towns, there are roller coasters and ferris wheels, do they know how those work or did they transport them from nearby theme parks? It's shown that they don't know what some mechanical things are like switches and bikes, and some other things like trashcans. Do they feel theyre u needed or they just don't know what they are?
Why does the Big Bad have a communicator? Iz it a Galactic thing, or is it something the Boove gave them before the Leader Guy stole that rock thing and they became enemies?
How do they change colors because of their emotions? Is it chemical changes in their brains that alert different color changing chemicals near their skin to change color? What texture is their skin? It looks leathery, but it could be smooth and porous. How do they excrete/breed? They have clothing, so there must be parts of their anatomy that they want to cover. Going with the smooth/porous type of skin, do they sweat out all their waste? They didn't need toilets, but they could have some space-alian type thing thats like a toilet.
What did their home planet look like? How did they evolve the way they did? They have long horn-type things that do seemingly nothing, so is that like our apendix?

I kinda want a soulmate AU where on your eighteenth birthday your soulmates last name appears somewhere on your body
But in this universe Steve gets adopted by Hopper and changes his last name after high school
On his eighteenth birthday Eddie finds Hopper written on his neck and is so confused because the only Hoppers he knows are, the chief of police (who’s almost busted him for drug dealing multiple times not to mention several years older) and his daughter (who is much younger and definitely not his type (guys))
Steve has Munson written on his hip and he knows it’s probably Eddie but he doesn’t bring it up because Eddie probably hates him for who he was in high school
Then one night post Vecna they’re in the back of Eddie’s van out by the quarry and they get on the subject of soulmarks and Eddie asks about Steve’s
(Because he’s been slowly falling in love the last few months and even though it won’t be his name on Steve he still needs to know who the lucky person who has Steve as a soulmate is)
And Steve goes quiet
Eddie’s just about to start apologizing and backtracking when Steve pulls up the hem of his shirt
Munson
Right on his hip in deep red letters
Eddie just stares trying not to let his feelings show
“What’s the matter”
Unable to come up with words Eddie moves his own hair and twists his neck to show Steve his soulmark
“Oookay, why is this a problem?”
Finally Eddie can’t take it anymore
“Because it’s Hopper and not Harrington! Because the only Hoppers I know are the chief and El, and it’s definitely not either of them! Because I wanted it to be you! Because I love you!”
By now Eddie’s full on crying and Steve’s comfort instincts take over and he pulls him onto his lap rocking him back and forth until his sobs dissolve into hiccups
“Would this be a good time to tell you that Hop adopted me and my last name is no longer Harrington?”

GhostReaderSoap:
Two jacked boyfriends=you will get scooped at the funniest moments. Standing in front of a shelf they want access to? Scooped. Trying to start an argument? Scooped. You weigh nothing. You’re a bunch of grapes. Yes, even you. They know how to lift with their knees.
Soap is likely closer to you in size so his clothes are the ones you steal most often. Ghost isn’t miffed about it, no he isn’t, pet, don’t be daft. He wasn’t daydreaming about watching you sleep in his shirt. Don’t be ridiculous.
A lot of two-timing jokes, mostly made by Soap, but Ghost will play along. “What do you MEAN you have a boyfriend?” he’ll ask you, with Ghost standing right there. Ghost, immediately choosing violence, “As if you could fuck them better than I could.”
Soap is the designated pastry chef of the polycule. He can be caught in gray sweat pants and a tight white tank top, flour coating his forearms, kneading bread dough at stupid hours in the morning. You and Ghost have to race each other to suck him off, because Johnny baking is peak Johnny.
Johnny is also the cuddliest. If he catches you or Ghost on the couch he will belly flop on top of either of you and bury his face right between the titties.
Two big boys means soft snuggly sleeping arrangements, right? WRONG. It’s a fucking furnace between them. Ghost is the designated middle sleeper until winter, because Soap absolutely runs the hottest.
If you ever had any reason to be afraid of going out drinking, you don’t once you’re with them. You have double scary dog privilege in their company, and it doesn’t go away when they’re deployed. If you frequent the same pubs while they’re gone, the other regulars know not to fuck with you if they value their lives—and genitals—intact and unharmed.
Having two military partners has other benefits. You can trust them to be as keen to keep a tidy home as you are.
Soap is the one most eager to decorate when the three of you move in together. Ghost is…not enthused. Some part of him is always ready to burn home down if he has to. He’ll indulge you and Soap, though.
Another benefit to being with the both of them is that you’re alone a bit less than you otherwise might be with a SpecOp partner. Their deployments don’t always intersect, although it does happen pretty often.
It’s Soap’s idea to write you letters only to be opened after they’ve left. Ghost isn’t good at it, but his notes can always be found with Soap’s. They’re simple, short—it’s hard for him to be vulnerable still. He doesn’t promise anything. But he does always tell you he’ll try to get Soap home to you if he can.

hi i wrote a short little something inspired by this post bc it wouldn't leave my head
season 2 canon divergence, in the aftermath of Steve being taken in by Hopper (don't ask me why it's happened, bc i dont know it's just how the story took shape in my head)
--
Steve was pulling a pizza out of the oven when El drifted into the kitchen, bumping hear head against his arm like one of the Henderson's cats. Her hair was starting to curl at the ends, longer than when he'd met her.
"Can you please tell Hop to go to the store? We are out of Eggo's."
She was already holding the walkie when he turned to give her a look, eyes wide and quietly expectant in that intense way of hers. He rolled his eyes, sucking pizza sauce off his knuckle as he reached for the walkie.
They had a quiet stare-off as he held the button down.
"Hey Hop, you there? Over."
Soft static buzzed through the speaker as El leaned further into him, turning her gaze away to inspect the pizza, before Hopper's voice came through with a crackle.
"I'm working." A pause, and then a reluctant: "Over."
He and Hopper shared a similar opinion on walkie-talkie etiquette, but the kids were insistent so they did their best. El looked from the walkie and back to Steve without blinking. He sighed a short laugh. Pressed the button again.
"Jane needs you to go to the store. Over." Better to use her other name if he was working.
"Eggo's?"
"Eggo's."
Satisfied that her demand request had been passed on, El slipped out of the kitchen and plopped down in front of the tv, crossing her legs underneath her as the screen flickered to life. The remote remained untouched on the bench. She wiped her nose with her sleeve.
"Well, I currently have an 18 year old in the back of my car and I'll have to run him to the station first." Another pause. "-ucks sake, over."
The words fell out of his mouth without any real thought, a years worth of comfort in himself dissolving any filter he might've had. "Is he cute?"
The walkie crackled. Steve wanted to smack himself in the head with it.
"My son wants to know if you're cute."
Oh, he was going to kill him, even if he did feel warm and fuzzy over being called Hops' son.
"Uh, I want to say yes, sir?"
There was a second of loud laughter before the walkie cut off and Steve pressed it to his forehead in silent mortification. From the living area, canned laughter from Happy Days burst out of the speakers like the universe was mocking him.
When he looked up, El was smiling at the screen in bemused wonder, colours flashing across her face.
He cleared his throat, eyes shut as he held down the button again. "Please remember the Eggo's on your way home, we're having pizza. Over and out."
He pressed the antenna down for his own dramatics, before quickly pulling it back out again so he could be reached for emergencies.
It wasn't that big a deal, it's not like he'd ever actually meet whoever had been in the car.

I saw a few other blogs doing this so I thought I'd share my input on what I think would happen in the House MD universe in 2024:
the constant jokes abt house and wilson's relationship turns into the fellows jokingly writing fanfic abt their boss and his boy best friend. somewhere along the way they all get very serious abt the quality of it and it turns into a Whole Thing, a 150k+ novel that they vow to take to their graves.
house discovers the fic by accident and sends it to wilson. wilson discovers things abt himself and then he and house discover each other shortly thereafter.
house purposefully posts the fic online and credits the fellows by their entire full names so it embarrasses them more than house and wilson. It's never spoken abt again but it gets way more online attention than any of them expected.
wilson doesn't get how the Cloud works and accidentally uploads his and house's nudes to the google nest hub on his desk.
