Changing my belief system from "this is the hill I'll die on" to "this is the hill I'll kill you on" has done absolute wonders for me 10/10 do recommend

#reject martyrdom embrace conquest #or whatever #and i do not mean only actively fighting someone #i mean even just withstanding the enemy on the hill until they decide to go home because they've realized they're beat by your sheer #willpower and devotion to the subject #katsi.txt #ok to rb ig

“oh I’m 100% human” says the Batkid who’s been inoculated against 76 different kinds of Scarecrow’s fear toxin, has built up immunity to almost anything Poison Ivy has created, routinely goes diving into the Gotham harbor on patrol, has been blessed/cursed by a variety of deities (depending on the kid), frequently picks up random/temporary powers from various missions, and operates at beyond peak human capabilities in combat, athleticism, and intelligence.

#Bruce is even worse #he says he’s human #but he’s been cursed and blessed so many times #and does things through sheer willpower #like that training routine ain’t human bro #sorry to tell you that #the whole batfamily prides themselves on being (mostly) human #and it’s barely true #it’s true of technicality #bruce wayne #batman #dc #batfamily #thoughts

BOOK UPDATE

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, etc

Good news! Matte version author copy came in the mail!

It's not as rust-colored as the previews are showing, just a bit muted. (Though still a way different palette than the eBook cover.) It still looks okay for the paperback's front graphic, but you can tell by the tagline up there that there's still an issue...

...namely that the red isn't translating too well with the text. It's legible, but hazier than the crisp white. If the glossy version doesn't fix the colors and let everything pop right, I'm worried I'll have to swap to all-white text to be safe. <:/

The current finish was swapped from matte-to-glossy as of now--I had to switch so I could get a glossy edition author copy sent and do the comparison--but it's still up in the air as far as which cover may wind up the Final Version that people order. Just want to keep everyone in the loop as far as what to expect with this thing, which is ???

Obligatory reminder that, whatever their current state, The Vampyres will be available March 15th (this Friday!) in print and eBook*!

*Which is still perfectly lovely with no cover ink issues to worry about, harrumph.

Also, on the brighter side, I get to see my disclaimer in person now :)

>:}

#why can I not simply will a book into existence through sheer willpower #it isn't fair I tell you #the vampyres #my writing #the vampyre #dracula

This picture is killing me because he looks so dainty. Plus the robes just fit him so well.

Anyway, he’s my little princess and I’m gonna pick him up and twirl him around.

when the rest of the crew was captured, Jericho dropped everything to go after them. He managed to find Joy and Benji only a few days later, but by the time he got to Kaius and Hunter it had been weeks.

remus: lily evans is flawless

marlene: she has two boyfriends and numerous hookup buddies, including me

peter: i hear she had guys fight over her so much, the hospital wing got full

sirius: i hear she's more powerful than dumbledore

regulus: her favourite book is the hobbit

mary: one time she met narcissa black on the train, and she told her she was pretty

james: one time she punched me in the face. it was awesome

#on honour of lily evans' bday <33 #the icon herself. lily <333 #(i don't personally think she's more powerful than dumbledore. but sirius does)#actually no i changed my mind. i agree with sirius. lily beats dumbledore in a fight with her sheer hotness and willpower #lily evans #marauders era #marauders

The Roomies (and their bird) chillin

Just the Roomies post-death talking about who they think will win. The bird occasionally chimes in a chirp they somehow understand. He just kind of showed up one day and squawked outside the base until they let him in. He's been part of the family ever since.

Based on how the series is going, by Splatoon 7 at the latest Pearl is going to either kill a God (via yet another superpowered Killer Wail variant, of course), or become one. Probably both at once.

#splatoon #octo expansion #side order #pearl houzuki #look #so far she's managed to shout two evil ais into submission #and no-sell the eradication of all willpower and emotion through sheer force of “fuck you i do what i want”#she's rapidly becoming one of the most powerful characters in the series and would totally have the chops for godslaying

The Quickest Way to a Man’s Heart

Pyrrha: *calling home from Beacon* Mom, do you have any recipes you can send from Mistral? My teammates always do the cooking and I want to make something for them!

Mama Nikos: Of course, dear! I’ll send you some Mistrali favorites!

Later that day…

Pyrrha: *wearing a spear-patterned apron, sets down a platter of food in front of her teammates* Here you go! A Mistrali special, with a couple Nikos adjustments for fun! 😉

Nora: *whispers* I don’t want to hurt Pyrrha’s feelings, but does this even look edible to you?

Ren: *shudders* Not even a little!

Pyrrha: *watching her team not touching their food* 😥

Jaune: *notices his partner’s distress and takes a deep breath, then digs into the questionable Nikos food* 🍴😫

Jaune: *glurk!* 🤢

Jaune: *struggling to avoid throwing up or visibly wincing* T-this is d-delicious, Pyrrha! Ren, Nora, can…can I have yours if you’re not hungry?

Ren/Nora: *staring in horror* Oh gods, he actually swallowed it!!! 😱

Pyrrha: You really liked it, Jaune? 😃 🥰

Jaune: 😰*through gritted teeth, trying to hold back vomit* 🥲 Of course! *hurp!* Thanks, Pyrrha! Can we *ourp* have this again later?

Pyrrha: Of course! Since you like it so much, every Tuesday from here on will be Mistrali dinner night, special for Jaune! 😊

Jaune: *inside* 😨 I’m going to die! I’ve seen the face of death and it has a cute red ponytail and an apron!

Jaune: *out loud* That sounds awesome! I can’t wait!

———————————————————————

About a year later…

Jaune: *eating Mistrali food again because it’s Tuesday* Thanks again for cooking Pyrrha!

Pyrrha: 😊 *practically glowing* He likes my cooking!

Pyrrha: Of course! Now eat up! I made it with extra protein since we’re doing strength training this week!

Pyrrha: *practically skips back to the kitchen to clean up* 🥰

Jaune: *eating happily* Isn’t it weird how much Pyrrha’s improved her cooking since last year?

Nora: *not touching her plate* Jaune-Jaune, you know I love you, but are you on drugs right now?

Ren: If anything, Pyrrha’s cooking skills have actually gotten WORSE, if that’s even possible…

Jaune: What? Come on, there’s nothing wrong with this food! It just needs a little salt, at most! I think Pyrrha’s cooking is great!

Nora: That’s because you got together-together with Pyrrha last year and love has made you stupid! 😑

Ren: I knew love was blind, but apparently it has no sense of taste either…😒

Jaune: *taking both their plates and adding it to his own* You guys have no appreciation for fine Mistrali cuisine!

———————————————————————

Another year down the road…

Nora: We finally made it to Mistral!

Pyrrha: *excitedly pulling Jaune by the hand* I can’t wait to show you around! I missed being back home so much! Let’s go eat lunch at a local restaurant I know! Oh, I hope the menu hasn’t changed too much…!

JNPR: *all line up and place their orders*

Pyrrha: Oh, I’m so excited for my team to try the food I grew up with! I’ve done my best to make it for you every Tuesday!

Nora: *immediately chowing down* Mmmh! This is GREAT!

Ren: I must say, Mistrali food is delicious!

Pyrrha: *happily enjoying the food she missed from her childhood* Mmmm…! So much better than I can make it…! ☺️

Jaune: *carefully chewing*

Pyrrha: What do you think of it, Jaune?

Jaune: …

Jaune: …Pyrrha, I’m sorry, but I don’t think I like this…

Pyrrha: What…?

Nora: Seriously? This stuff is AWESOME!!!

Ren: I agree! This might be the best meal I’ve had in weeks.
