Round 9

If I am not mistaken, we are now tying the 1923 record with the critical difference being that the 9th round of votes was successful in 1923. Call me a hopeless cynic but I don’t think our 9th round is going to be successful.

Honesty? The new Halo show is pretty good. I’m only a few episodes in but their is clearly heavy themes of family with a side of government responsible and politics.

There has been no glaringly terrible SGI

The costuming and set design is all emasculate

The Spartan Armorer is prefect, gold star.

The acting is on point, all the kudos to them

I watch the show as someone with barely any Halo knowledge, I had to google if this was doom. I didn’t know the names of any characters other then Master Chef and Commander Shepard. I still have enjoyed it.

I recommend this to

- Star Wars/Sc-fi fans

- People who enjoy media about family

- People who enjoy political intrigue

- People who have time to kill

face the light of wrath (rise up): chapter 5

Story by @oopsbirdficced / ingenious_spark (AO3)

Fic rating: Explicit/NC17

Warnings: for this chapter: none; for the full work: explicit sex, masturbation, references to marital rape, fantasy racism, violence & injury

Characters: Maeglin, the Sons of Fëanor

Summary:

The War of Wrath spares no person in Beleriand. All are affected, and so, all must answer the clarion call of war, in one way or another. With two Silmarils back in their grasp, the Fëanárions stand strong, all seven brothers alive and well, eyes turned to the third and the fulfillment of their oath. Lómion stands with them, even as the forces of Gondolin finally stir from their unmolested hiding place, Turucáno finally stepping forward to reluctantly take his crown. But without Eärendil and Elwing's desperate plea, how will the tides of war turn?

Chapter 5: Lómion and the Sons of Fëanor decide how to warn Doriath and Gondolin of the war, and petition for their aid.

Pale Lights, by erraticerrata

Link: https://palelights.com/

Status: Ongoing

Genre: Adventure, Dark Fantasy, Horror

Summary:

Vesper is a world built on the ruins of older ones: in the dark of that colossal cavern no one has ever known the edges of, empires rise and fall like flickering candles.

Civilization huddles around pits of the light that falls through the cracks in firmament, known by men as the Glare. It is the unblinking stare of the never-setting sun that destroyed the Old World, the cruel mortar that allows survival far below. Few venture beyond its cast, for in the monstrous and primordial darkness of the Gloam old gods and devils prowl as men made into darklings worship hateful powers. So it has been for millennia, from the fabled reign of the Antediluvians to these modern nights of blackpowder and sail. And now the times are changing again.

The fragile peace that emerged after the last of the Succession Wars is falling apart, the great powers squabbling over trade and colonies. Conspiracies bloom behind every throne, gods of the Old Night offer wicked pacts to those who would tear down the order things and of all Vesper only the Watch has seen the signs of the madness to come. God-killers whose duty is to enforce the peace between men and monsters, the Watch would hunt the shadows. Yet its captain-generals know the strength of their companies has waned, and to meet the coming doom measures will have to be taken.

It will begin with Scholomance, the ancient school of the order opened again for the first time in over a century, and the students who will walk its halls.

Consorting Together 21.7.22

Obey Me! Diavolo x Mammon x MC.

One of those “Diavolo loves MC but has to marry a demon for political/magical reasons” fics, but MC and Diavolo talk about it and decide the demon he’s going to marry is Mammon.

Mammon gets to have both his human and the literal ruler of the Devildom, he is very happy with this.

None of them thought to tell the rest of the brothers ahead of time so the gala where Diavolo proposes is... interesting.

The Hecklin’ Democrats

I am saddened but not surprised that Representative Cammack (Republican) is trying to adopt some kind of higher moral ground re: the Democrats eating popcorn and drinking booze and waiting for the Republicans to get their shit together. Look this is on the Republicans to prove that they can govern, not on the Democrats to continue to show bipartisan compromise with the other party.

Also the fact that Cammack rhetorically asked Republicans, “Are we the party of Reagan?” and a chorus of Democrats called back, “No.”? Beautiful.

I Watched All Of Andor In A Single Sitting

I accidentally watched all of Andor in a single sitting (with some breaks for food and whatnot) because it was too good to not watch it all at once. Which makes it the first show I've binged since late 2020 when I lost my appetite for dense media.

This past weekend, instead of playing a ton of Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth, I decided to bank some more episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, got wrecked by the end of the fifth season, realized the podcast I’m listening to as I watch along (as separate activities) pivots immediately after those episodes to watching Andor, and then wound up binging all of Andor until 1 in the morning on a work…

Sometimes I come back to writing Children of the Stars after a small break and it's like that meme of the guy walking into a room with pizza and all hell has broken loose.

Why is Lyanni bleeding out with a knife in her back? Why is Adrian losing a fistfight to android in the corner? Why is Evelyn having an existential crisis on the nature of humanity while strolling through a forest? Why is Wilhelm on the other side of the planet for some reason? Why is all this happening at the same time?

Like, take it back about five pages, wtf happened here and why don't I have any notes for this?

A Practical Guide to Evil, by erraticerrata

Link: https://practicalguidetoevil.wordpress.com/

Status: Finished

Genre: YA fantasy

Summary (from website):

The Empire stands triumphant.

For twenty years the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this dawning golden age threats to the crown are rising. The nobles of the Wasteland, denied the power they crave, weave their plots behind pleasant smiles. In the north the Forever King eyes the ever-expanding borders of the Empire and ponders war. The greatest danger lies to the west, where the First Prince of Procer has finally claimed her throne: her people sundered, she wonders if a crusade might not be the way to secure her reign. Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the conquered lands the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a knife.

Her name is Catherine Foundling, and she has a plan.

A Practical Guide to Evil is a YA fantasy novel about a young girl named Catherine Foundling making her way through the world – though, in a departure from the norm, not on the side of the heroes. Is there such a thing as doing bad things for good reasons, or is she just rationalizing her desire for control? Good and Evil are tricky concepts, and the more power you get the blurrier the lines between them become.
