HAPPY TUESDAY THE 24TH TO KEPCOBI MY BELOVED IDIOTS!!!

Or, alternatively:

It starts with Kaz on his own and just. Stragglers end up catching on and he ends up having like, four 12 year olds oddly versed in crime tailing him.

it’s actually so funny to think about the job teaser at the end of row in general because I know the line “Tell Kaz Brekker the Queen of Ravka has a job for him.” is like for badass effect but the way it implies that Zoya thinks Kaz would give a fuck that she’s the Queen of Ravka has me cackling. Zoya, my love, you’ve met this man you really think he cares about your supposed authority? He’s just gonna be like “Okay? Good for you, I guess. Now how much am I getting paid?” And if he even entertains the proposition, Zoya then has to explain to and convince Kaz, possibly the only character in the series who is genuinely a full on atheist, that the saints are real and she needs him to steal the supposedly beating heart of a long dead saint so that she can free a man she despises from having to hold the entire universe closed. Kaz would think she’s insane lmao. I know he watched Nikolai go demon mode but like I still think he wouldn’t believe her.

(also side note: most of the time I see people talking about this job turning into a crow reunion/one last job together which I have nothing against (but it would take a lot for me suspend my disbelief about Nina being part of it considering her new position) but I think it would be so interesting to explore Kaz doing this all on his own, I’d really like to see how Kaz works when entirely on his own)

So from what I have understood the difference between these two when Athena is their patron goddess is basically this:

Athena: We're gonna have to kill this guy Odysseus

Odysseus: I don't think I want to do that....

------

Athena: We're gonna have to kill this guy Telemachus

Telemachus: OH FUCK YEAH!!!

Epilogue: Could this be how every day begins?

In a distant future we all share, we come together again. Co-written and edited by the lovely lovely @sorinethemastermind I write the Corvus POV's, they write the Soren POVs. Also on Ao3 and it has a playlist!

7 YEARS LATER…

Corvus blinked his eyes open, his gaze immediately falling onto his husband’s sleeping form. Soren’s arms were tightly wound around him, his face close to his.

It was the same view he had woken up to for the past seven years, and something he would never grow tired of.

The sun streamed through the window in their room, falling onto the both of them.

They had to get ready.

“Sor,” he murmured, nudging his shoulder. “We gotta wake up.”

Soren shifted, pressing his face into the curve of Corvus’ neck. “Mmn too early, Corv.”

His eyes trailed up to Soren’s horns, catching on the silver cuffs near the base of them, dotted with red and blue gemstones.

“We have that picnic date with the others today.” he reminded him, kissing the top of his head.

“Mmh, five more minutes.”

Corvus rolled his eyes. “Well, I have to get up and make sure Leda isn’t on the roof again.”

Soren shot up slightly, looking at him.“Alright, I’m up, lets go.”

He laughed. “I knew that would work.”

It was now Soren’s turn to roll his eyes. “I love you, Corvus. But I hate your morning person tendencies.”

“I know. And I love you too.” Corvus kissed him softly. 

Soren kissed back, cupping his face with one hand. After they parted, Corvus looked at him. Soren seemed a bit more awake, now, though he wasn’t sure if it was from the kiss or from the small jumpscare he gave him.

Corvus scooched off the side of the bed, standing up with a wince. He wasn’t even thirty yet, and his joints were already trying to kill him.

Soren got up without a problem, one of his arms snaking around his waist. “Rough start?”

“Yeah.” he nodded.

“I’ve got you.”

“I know.”

——————————————————————

“I’ll race you!” Leda shouted, laughing as she started running across the field just outside of Evrkynd. Soren laughed and started running after her.

Corvus smiled at the two of them, keeping at his current pace, having to rely on his walking stick a little more this morning than he wished he had to.

“Hey! That’s cheating!” Soren shouted as Leda sprung up into the air, her wings flapping. He managed to grab her ankle, and she laughed, trying to squirm away.

He laughed softly, stopping to watch the two of them, standing in the middle of the floral field. A couple yards away, he could see the picnic blanket that had been set up by Rayla and Callum, as well as the two stumbling toddlers toddling about.

He saw Rayla look up and wave at them, laughing at the chaos that Soren and Leda had gotten up to on the way.

“I brought some things Soren baked yesterday,” Corvus said, gesturing with the small basket he had brought as he got closer.

“You didn’t have to bring anything,” Callum said, getting up, picking up Scout as he did.

“He made jelly tarts.”

“Feel free to leave extras.” he amended, trying to wrangle the squirming toddler.

Leda landed down beside Corvus, stopping to catch her breath. “Hey, Uncle Callum!”

“Hey kiddo,” he grinned. “How’ve you been?”

“Good! I have some drawings I wanna show you, actually.” she grinned back, pulling her sketchbook out of her satchel.

“I’m here!” Soren panted, finally catching up with them. “I swear you keep getting faster with those wings.”

Corvus smiled at him. “You alright?”

He nodded, his hands resting on his knees. “Yep. Just need a moment.” he straightened after a moment, cracking his back. “That didn’t feel right.”

“I think you’re finally ageing.”

Soren gasped, horrified. “No!” his eyes slightly widened in dramatic effect.

His eyes.

One sky blue.

One stark white.

After he had done the spell on Callum, seven years ago, it had bleached all the color out of his left eye, leaving it smooth and glassy.

It was a reminder of everything they did to get to here. To get this.

“Uncle Sowen!” Corvus turned and saw Beau run into view, his dark green hair a wild, curly mess as he ran up and hugged Soren’s leg. A few paces behind the four-year-old, were Claudia and Terry, their own picnic basket in hand. 

Soren picked up the child, hoisting him up. “How’s my Beau doing?” 

“Good!” the child laughed. Corvus could see the small antlers starting to sprout from the child’s head, a light cream compared to the darkness of his hair.

Corvus felt a small tug on his pant leg and looked down. Juno was sat next to his feet, smiling back up at him. Her white hair was pulled into braided space buns behind her small horns, a few of the strands hanging in her face.

He smiled, picking up the toddler. “Hey there, Juno.”

She waved, poking his nose gently.

“Yes, that’s my nose.”

Juno giggled and flopped down in his arms, staring up at him. She was adorable, with Callum’s brown eyes and markings similar to Rayla, but on her cheeks arching down to the bottom of her face instead of to her eyes. 

He heard a loud shriek of excitement and looked up. Terry was now crouched in front of Scout, who Callum had put back down on the picnic blanket, presenting him a little wooden toy of a deer. He then made his way over to Corvus and Juno, offering a small wooden bird to Juno.

Corvus watched as Juno reached for the bird, taking it in her small hands and staring at it intently before smiling widely. She squirmed slightly, and Corvus took this as his cue to set her back down on her feet, where she then toddled over to Scout and sat down.

This was his family now. He glanced over at Soren, who smiled at him before setting Beau down.

“I hope I’m not late!” Corvus could see Lissa approaching from behind Claudia, her own basket on her arm. Claudia turned around and grinned, hugging her. 

“Not at all.”

Soren hugged Lissa after before retreating to Corvus, wrapping an arm around his waist as they both watched Beau and Leda say hi to Lissa, the twins too immersed in their new toys.Their family.

its what happens when you get popular on the tumblr my guy

“If I had time travel I’d kill Hitler” “If I had time travel I’d stop my favourite politician getting assassinated” you’re all thinking way too small. If I had time travel I’d stop Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from dying on the moon due to Soviet sabotage, kicking off the Great Nuclear War and devastating half of the planet.

The person in the tags has a point with "stop gen ai" but thats where they loose me. We should be getting people to stop using it by giving them proper information, not misinformation.

If we do it by misinformation, are we any better?

I think that relying too much in LLMs can indeed harm your capacity for learning, in the same way that poor systems of learning (rote memorization, just copying whatever without thinking) can. Learning is a thing you need... to learn. Even LLMs can be a useful tool for learning as long as you have a good learning strategy.

That paper that says that AIs cause COGNITIVE ATROPHY is still unreviewd and smells so much of bullshit that I'm tearing up from here. Do not share it uncritically.

[aria-bun]

I wish people would reblog this and put in the tags where are they from and THE classic book of their country for my traveling the world through reading purpose

knight who is constantly searching for a good and noble king to serve but cannot fucking find one for the life of him so he has to become the good and noble king himself.

and now all these other knights are coming around like "please let me serve you" and like obviously hes going to let them serve him thats the point of being a good and noble king but its also. very annoying. one of you become the good and noble king for once lets trade
