“Cami wasn’t a Mikaelson”

She was an O’Connell, which was a good enough identity on its own. More importantly, she was her own woman - someone who was resourceful, supported everyone and was adored and respected by pretty much all of your faves on TO. Next.

It has officially been 3 months since I legally changed my Name and Gender which means as of today...assuming no laws suddenly change...

[valhalia]

the average gow fans really don't care about anything other than kratos? like, they seriously don't care about other characters, the worldbuilding of the games or anything else?

this might be me, but I like when stories expand to be more than one character (when done right and not for the sake of money). idk, it just seems they're only here bc they like the character and nothing more

Hi hi! I’m a HUGE fan of your a03 fic Lodestones, it’s been eating my brain for WEEKS now, it’s so good!!! Thank you for blessing my devoted Scarian heart with this fic ❤️

Awe thank you so much it means a lot! Hopefully I can get an update out!

[falazaria]

Guacamole: Taste wise its fine, tho I guess that depends on how it's prepared/what's exactly in it. However texture wise a nightmare for me personally

Olives: Can't remember ever having one actually so don't know

Mango: very nice fruit (even if a bit hard to properly cut for me with the seed), made some mango Ice cream once and its still my favourite I have made so far

Hummus: Same as olives I am afraid

Tomatoes: If they tasted differently they would be my favourite considering how watery yet firm they can be, however the taste for me is just...no

Cannolis: Looks tasty, now idea what that is tho

FOOD DISCOURSE: reblog with ur opinions on guacamole, olives, mango, hummus, tomatoes, and cannolis

[madeby-meru]

i want to write so many things and draw so many things and indulge in so many stupid little ideas swimming around in my head and enjoy every frustarting second of the creative process of quite literally anything and explore every dumb fixation that crosses my way and overanalyze every character and world and piece of lore of every media i consume and contruct my very own and savor that fullfillment that stems from creation and share every smidge of myself with the void

[falazaria]

I finally got my ass up and looked for them and so...

I have gathered all 3 of them

[daveyfvckingjacobs]

started rereading a marvellous light to highlight it and I’m being so so so so so normal about edwin john courcey guys I promise

[falazaria]

Okey but the eggs we usually eat (and hide ig) are unfertilised. So we don't hide birb children what we hide is closer to birb periods

[setworldspawn]

Sorry, you’ve probably been asked this before and I know you’re probably really busy, but when do you think you’ll update Lodestones? I love that fic so much, you wrote it so well. I looked around to see if someone’s asked it but I can’t find it.

Oh hello! You’re the first person to ask! Truthfully, I am not sure when I will be able to update only because I am very busy with boring adult stuff and haven’t had much time to dedicate to writing (or fandom stuff in general, I can’t remember the last time I opened tumblr)!

I was also suffering from some writers block as I wasn’t happy with the way chapter 12 was starting out so I’m just rewriting it now so that it all flows a little more smoothly. Inspiration for the fic isn’t lost, quite the opposite with all the season 10 content. And I’ve had all the chapters planned out for months now so it’s just a matter of scheduling some time in my week to sit down and write.

Lots of good things coming for it, though, I promise (we’re only a third of the way into the journey!)

[madeby-meru]

i hate writers block i feel like i cant write a coherent sentence im gonna chug down 4 cans of monster, a pack of ibuprofen and start praying for inspiration to the first deity that manifests to me
