I don't wanna be wanky here but am I slightly perhaps just the tiniest bit put out that so many people are all "🤩I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see😍" about Luthen when Cassian Andor's other tall sandy-haired spymaster came in for so much flack over (checks notes) ordering a hit on the lead engineer for THE DEATH STAR? Maybe so

#yes yes some of this is the power of good writing and also skarsgard's acting being v compelling #but some folks are simply not taking the stakes of this universe seriously #when in fact taking the universe seriously is one of andor's great narrative strengths! #I enjoy luthen but he is ten times more ruthless than ANYTHING draven does in rogue one lol #and i am a person who fully prefers my draven characterization at least 10% morally compromised bastard #luthen rael #davits draven #andor #rogue one #star wars #my posts

The fact that Jesper is like. a mid-tier fabrikator at best is actually so important to me.

So much of this story centers around the fact that these people are not chosen ones, that they have no sacred destiny or otherworldly power, but that they're children doing the best they can in a system that doesn't care about them, and all they have are their wits and each other. Jesper isn't an especially gifted grisha, and he has no formal training, but he takes that teaspoon of unremarkable talent and applies it to a skill he spent years perfecting to make something even greater and wholly his own. He isn't special because he was born that way, he's special because he made himself special.

#i could literally talk about this forever #this also applies to every other character btw #but jesper is a great example #i love him so much #this is lowkey why i don't love all the meta ppl write about him going to the little palace to learn #also i think its super important to note that wylan doesn't encourage him to embrace his abilities to 'get more powerful' or whatever #he specifically wants him to do it because repressing that side of him is actively hurting him and he can't spend his life ignoring part of #who he is #wesper #jesper fahey #six of crows #crooked kingdom #soc #six of crows meta #also like. the fact that he learned this not from an institution or a grisha specialist but from his mother. it's just v important to me #rip aditi hilli you were a real one

Summer Won't Last Forever; 100 Follower Event (Closed)

Technically past the OG 100, but oh well; better a little late than never! And thank you for the support, and I'm happy that people are enjoying the silly little stories I write. Now; onto the event!

Fandom

Just TWST at the moment. You can request the main cast, side characters, and staff!

Duration

I will be holding this event for 10 requests for followers. Once this is filled, I will be closing the event. This is so I don't overwork myself. The only exception will be for mutuals. Mutuals get special treatment, yes.

Once they are filled I will close the ask box until I'm done writing them, which. The ask box will then return after the event.

For mutuals, hit me up in messages if I close the ask box before you can get in ^v^

Rules

1 request per person; the only exception I may make is for mutuals (depending on engagement).

1 character per request; but do include two backups in case I already received an ask for X character with X prompt (also in case there are a lot of requests for one character). You may also include a backup prompt in case it has already been used.

Please include if you would like it to be platonic or romantic in nature.

No NSFW.

If you are on Anon, do feel free to leave an emoji (see here for taken emojis)

As a reminder, I typically only write gender-neutral reader (they/them/their's/you). I make exceptions for trans reader though (just include gender identity and pronouns please).

Ortho and Grim are strictly platonic.

Anything romantic will be aged up; imagine the cast to be in an actual college.

~ Now onto the Event ~

Hot days fall into cool nights. Carnivals arrive in town. Long days spent at the beach or community pool. Fond memories made with friends. But, summer won't last forever.

Prompts

Stargazing

Let's beat the heat

Beach day

Farmer's market

Road trip

Carnival fun

Campfire antics

By the babbling brook

Long-distance relationship

Caught in the rain

Also, feel free to leave up to 3 emojis in brackets if you want to add anything extra. The majority of these should be fluff, but feel free to indicate if you would like something other than fluff in your ask!

Example; May I request *character* with *prompt* and (🌻🌻🌻). Could it please be platonic and fluffy?

These will be in the form of drabbles; which may range between 300 and 900 words depending on if the muse of writing inspiration strikes me or if I get carried away. Knowing me, I may get carried away for some ^v^;

Once this event is done I'll be heading back to writing for the Soul Match AU; which will be none other than the resident wet cat, Idia Shroud *ominous chortling*

Tags (aka my mutuals that I have on my main ^v^)

@eynnwwyjth, @krenenbaker, @azulashengrottospiano, @silvers-numberonefan, @twistwonderlanddevotee, @ithseem, @inkybloom-luv, @leonistic

As a reminder, do not put my work — or others for that matter — into AI as it steals. Link to Masterlist

All works will be under the tags #dove does events & #100 follower event.

[Image description: A digital drawing of Lio Fotia from Promare. His shoulders are bunched up, and his arms are crossed. On top of this, he has a disgruntled expression, his eyes cast in shadows. His hair is morphing into flames, wrapping around his head. The background features a pink circle, and then the outline of one surrounding it. The piece has a gradient overtop of it which resembles the shifting colour of a flame, but with more blue and green hues.]

This is mostly from curiosity but also genuine interest. I jump from fic to fic frequently (which is why so many of them aren't finished). But I want to make as much progress on the Great Editing & Rewriting Project as I can. So, keeping in mind the following:

This involves editing or rewriting almost everything I wrote between 2014 & 2020, one-shots, drabbles, drabble collections, chaptered fics, everything. This amounts to roughly a LOT of rewriting. I have released myself from all limits (unless I choose to limit myself). All fics 100% rewritten will be removed from ffnet, a03, & Tumblr only when the new version is finished & posting is ready to begin. (If you want to keep anything of those fics, feel free! But no AI finishing it, please).

And the reason for this poll is:

#higuchimon polls #great editing & rewriting project #power rangers #digimon #Digimon adventure #digimon adventure 02 #digimon tamers #digimon frontier #digimon xros wars #digimon next #ygo #ygo dm #ygo gx #ygo 5ds #ygo zexal #ygo arc v #ygo vrains #binan koukou chikyuu bouei bu love! #yes I can do them in more or less original posting order #I've spent the last few months planning this

the idea of dragon age au Rama is so funny to me like, you have this lifelong soldier turned templar who was, for the most part, minding her damn business in Nevarra her entire life except for that time she met then Knight-Captain Meredith Stannard, had an illicit affair behind closed doors for years, and then finding out later that she was more or less the catalyst to starting the damn mage/templar war is one part hilarious and one part tragic.

#RAMA WOLFBLUFF: HEADCANON #v: DRAGON AGE #[ people talk about meredith and she says deadpan: huh. sounds a lot like my evil ex wife. #[ I imagine DA verse Kaelehn as a half elf likely met her later adventuring during DAI era or just prior but still ] #[ ah yes this evil genocidal knight commander. the one i secretly married in my youth. turned out to be egomaniacally power hungry and awfu #[ my dating choices were GREAT ]

i have classes again! (i do not know if this is good or not yet) so i will not be able to draw as often. that or i will be drawing extra as a way to procrastinate working on assignments

#ughhhhh i hate transitioning from no classes to classes again this shit sucks #i love being in class but it takes a while before my brain can get used to being in school mode #i wish they just never gave me breaks i would like that a whole lot better #i'm also having a crisis thinking about changing my major #but idk if that's because i actually want to or if i'm just v uncomfortable rn at the thought of having to learn how to be in school again #at the very least i get to go to class looking great today #yesterday i got my hair dyed so now it's neon red orange and yellow #someone told me i look like someone was making their first OC and they had fire powers #another told me i looked like sunset shimmer from mlp #at the very least i look rad as hell and it will make up for whatever horrible thing i end up doing wrong today #i really should've tried to take a class with a prof i'm familiar with but nooooo i waited too long to choose classes #and now i'm stuck with people i don't know who are going to say words to me when all i want is to not say a single word all day long #also i had to wake up at 5:30 today and will probably have to again bc i don't drive so i carpool and they have to work early as fuck #and now i'm on campus and also locked out of the buildings because i can't get the ID scanner to work and the buildings don't unlock yet #at least the feral cats keep me company in these trying times #and waking up early means that i'm just tired enough to not give a fuck anymore so at least i'm not sobbing on the floor (yet) #i'll probably try to save that for after classes end #though i'm feeling strangely okay today which i think might just be the grace period between transitions where i get to act like a human #before i freak out later #or maybe i just missed being in class enough to beat the bad vibes out of me? (probably not but i can hope) #i'm just saying words at this point but that's okay #i'm sure i'm interesting enough for everyone to love hearing about my morning #in which case i want everyone to know that i got the stupidest jacket from the thrift store a while back #and i am rocking it rn #every day i get up and get dressed i look in the mirror and see someone who would fit in better as an art student #but art doesn't make you money and i've lived in poverty too long to go with that #but if i'm stuffed somewhere where i have to have natural hair color and boring clothes at an office job i will probably go batshit tbh #the goal is to be so valuable in whatever field i choose that i get to do whatever i please #like L #anyway i have said so many words

[elipsi]

i saw poor things last night! not sure if i liked it, it didn't really stick the landing

#as many others have said the whole 'showing an anonymised mass of suffering brown people with yellow filter' isn't great #also the whole paris chapter + the black socialist lesbian lover with 10 minutes of screen time meh #i thought for a while that the body's husband would be godwin (to make him even more a fathergodcreator) #and the husband character was mostly unnecessary? v bland #the lover was also extremely boring he needed to go after the ship #but i really enjoyed the vaguely surrealist atmosphere and i think the whole 'improving' debate could have been so good #with the seemingly all powerful surgery of god(win) the improvement of the human body versus the compassion for the experiments #there's something there i think! #also maybe it could have been interesting to engage with some actual socialist philosophy of the time? #instead of being super generic #in sostanza: it would have been good if it was good

Earth-14320

He wanted to be a pilot.

He was a stupid college kid studying aeronautical science in hopes of joining the Air Force and flying fighter jets. Because it sounded cool. Because his favorite film was Top Gun. An athlete. Quiet and focused. Head down. Just a poor kid who had enough spirit to make it in a world where superheroes and villains existed. In this tired old story of a spider and a boy, he just happened to fit the bill. See in this verse a Spider Man existed already, and he was pretty good at job. But much like other universes someone always coveted that power, this time it just happened to be the Government.

The details of the project don't so much matter as much as what it did. They kidnapped him. Took him from his home just because his genome fit the match. Strapped him into a chair and experimented on him. He could never forget that black and red spider, the bite. The surgeries. The pain. The rage.

What they created was a Spider-Man. Or at least as close as they could get. He was unique, growing still. Evolving. He was just a kid, who gave blood a few times at blood drives, now being turned into a weapon. Of course they messed up along the way, gave him the chance to escape. He took it, did some things he ain't proud of. Those first nights alone hurt, barely able to control his powers. Spider Man, the real Spider Man, found him. Helped him. In ways Hayden can't begin to repay. He wouldn't say Peter was a mentor, because he isn't. But he's a friend. A rival when the time is called for.

But who is Hayden? He's still figuring that out. Right now, he's just Spider Man. And in due time, he'll right the wrong done to him.
