Do you have any nokken art stashed away? I know the barghest is your favorite but I'm wondering how you think of the nokken :3
Actually, I love all of my little monstrous children equally :-)
I am aware that barghests feature prominently on this blog... but the fact of the matter is that they're a lot more popular/well-known than the other creatures, so there's just a ton more art of them out there! I'm always on the lookout for sylvan/basilisk/nokken-like pieces, though, so please feel free to send me a link to anything you think I might like or that might fit the VE vibes.
Nokken are near and dear to my heart... I think there's something tragic about them. They have that 'I can't let anyone close because my touch will hurt them' kind of vibe in my mind, maybe more so than the others imo (though all of them are their own delicious blend of dangerous, of course).
These iconic art pieces are by theodor kittelsen and they were a big inspiration to me. :-)

Saw this post and got inspired to find some numbers
On AO3 there are 315 fics tagged Ashton/Orym
Of those 315, 186 are tagged 'other' (59%). Of those 186, 62 are also tagged as m/m (33% of fics tagged other, 19% total). And from what I can tell, of those 62 only 19 of those fics have another m/m relationship (30% of fics tagged other and f/m, 10% of fics only tagged other, 6% total fics)
On the Callowmoore side, there are 108 fics tagged Ashton/Fearne
Of those 108, 67 are tagged as 'other' (62%). Of those 67, 8 are also tagged as f/m (11% of fics tagged other, 7% total). And from what I can tell, of those 8 only 3 have another f/m relationship tagged (37.5% fics tagged other and f/m, 4% of fics tagged other, and 2% total fics)
So in conclusion, callowmoore writers are more likely to tag their work as other, and less likely to tag both other and f/m than ashrym writers are likely to tag as both other and m/m
Feel free to check my math/numbers, I just thought it was interesting to point out

I was thinking about how the run away with me au Robin and Steve "should we get divorced?" conversation comes about:
Theyre about 23 and Robin comes home in tears after another break up. The reason: Robin had asked her girlfriend of 8 months, Lorraine to move in with her and steve. Lorraine assumes this means steve is moving out and when Robin clarifys that no Steve is staying, he's an important part of her life theyre married for chists sake. Well Lorraine doesnt take that well, says she isnt going to spend her life playing second fiddle to Steve.
This isnt the first time a relationship had ended for either of them because a partner hadnt been able to accept that Steve and Robin were a package deal. Things had been especially rough for them romantically in the first couple years of their marriage. It wasnt until a particularly awful screaming match between Robin, Steve and Steves first real boyfriend, that they were able to admit their relationship was incredibly codependent and unhealthy. Steves boyfriend had been upset when Steve had cancelled on him for the 3rd time in a row because of a Robin Emergency™️ and decided to confront Robin about it while Steve was in class. Things escalated quickly when Steve came home early from class to find them arguing and immediately took Robins side. The argument and Steves relationship ended with a slammed door, a lot of tears and a new rift in Robin and Steves relationship.
It took a lot of long conversations with Carina and Marjorie, Steve working through his toxic masculinity enough to go see a therapist - He and Robin made a deal that theyd both go talk to someone about, you know almost dieing "do you think me being fucked up by what happened at starcourt makes me weak steve?" "No of course not!" "Well then why would it make you weak?" - and a summer spent apart (Robin taking an internship in rome to study latin) for them to sit down and have a long conversation about boundaries and ground rules for how they would navigate their relationship as well as dating in the future.
Steve and Robin agreed to both take a break from dating while they worked through their respective traumas, and figured out how to navigate their relationship in a healthy way. Things werent easy, the both of them occasionally backsliding into unhealthy behaviors, more than a few nights where one of them spent the night with Carina and Marjorie in order to have space from eachother. But eventually they get their shit figured out and decide to brave the world of dating again. Steve and Robin both have their share of flings and short lived relationships but nothing so far seemed to stick. That is until Robin met Lorraine.
Lorraine was funny, sweet and a little bitchy. They had immediately clicked after being introduced by some mutual friends from school. Robin really thought things with Lorraine were going to work out. Steve and Lorraine had gotten on like a house on fire, she had slipped into Robin and Steves dynamic easily, trading jokes and light hearted jabs, cooking breakfast together on days Lorraine would stay at their apartment. Robin had fallen hard and fast, she thought she had finally found someone who accepted that her and Steve were a package deal. So 8 months in when Lorraines lease was ending Robin (with agreement from steve) asked Lorraine to move in. Things don't go to plan. Robins dreams of a future with lorraine are shattered. She goes home broken hearted.
After Robin has cried herself out, her and steve cuddled together on the couch Steve is the one to broach the topic. Robin immediately bursts back into tears before he calms her back down again saying he doesnt want a divorce but he also doesnt want to hold Robin back, doesnt want to be the reason she cant find happiness. Robin replys by saying if anyone is holding the other back its obviously her, steve gave up everything to protect her afterall. Steve calls bullshit -years of therapy and he can finally say that word without cringing- says he would do it all again in a heartbeat, that she doesn't owe him anything. They stay up all night talking about it, about what the both of them want from their futures. Neither can see a future without the other. they're platonic life partners, one day they'll find their someones who can accept that and if not well, they'll always have eachother.
Of course they do find their someones in the form of a charming if infuriating metal head and a brilliant, sweet, and badass reporter. Through trial and error the four of them figure out how to navigate life together. They all live happy ever after.
Robin and Steve celebrate 30 years of marriage with divorce papers. They'll always love eachother but now they dont need a marriage to keep eachother safe. They dont need a marriage to stay as platonic life partners. They have eachother and they have Eddie and Nancy. They have everything they need.

Lmk what you think! I'd love to have someone to scream with about this AU and bounce ideas off of :D

You know what, in an effort to try and keep myself motivated I'm just going to start posting updates about my thesis on my blog.
I just found a 251 page book all about the Dasyclades order of green algae which is likely the plant fossils I'm working with and it's an illustrated guide I'm so happy about this. Internet Archive my beloved.
The book is 'Dasycladales : an illustrated monograph of a fascinating algal order' by Berger and Sigrid for any interested.

Hi Chris I know you're probably in FFXIV brainrot right now but you also have a backlog.
A lot has been written and drawn in FenHawke department, that's true. But Chris has a way of showing intimacy between people and just how much these two love each other that always gets me. It's a sketchy style and I LOVE sketchy styles: the immediacy of it only adds to the feelings.
It's art with a lot of heart about it.
It's (he)art.
*bonks her own head*
Fanfic: The Möbius Strip by 13pens
Rating: T
Words: 5,120
Pairing: Morrigan/Female Tabris
Summary: The Hero of Ferelden became a series of stories that she remembered and told to her son, and was soon becoming just that—a series of stories. Until one day, two letters arrived at the same time.
Ok it's a bit dated, but it's a rarepair that doesn't get so many new fics and I really liked this.
It's a series of scenes, navigating Morrigan post-DAO as she grows up a son, matures emotionally and reflects about the past. What was, what she did, what could have been... and what maybe could be in the future.
I love the character development she has, how it keeps canon and keeps everything happening later. It feels very organic for Morrigan (or how I see her anyway).
I am a person who has a VERY low tolerance for meet/cutes, and this is not it. This is a person that has to grow personally... And does it.
A little trigger warning if you're particularly sensible to motherhood themes, childbirth and so on and so forth. There's also mention of child death. But if it doesn't bother you so much...
I do love my rarepairs.
Tagging!
@ndostairlyrium @dungeons-and-dragon-age @melisusthewee @star--nymph @herearedragons @hollytree33 @inquisimer @rowanisawriter and YOU who are reading!
