Proposal for new fandom etiquette:

If you read a fic because it was linked/recced somewhere, you leave a comment saying "came from XXX" and that comment doesn't need to include anything else.

Because when all of a sudden there's a lot of activity on one particular fic I WANNA KNOW WHY!!!!!

Hi folks! Zucchini here. Seems there are a few people who think Lightcannon Week is this week and they're out of time.

That's not the case at all! Lightcannon week is the END OF JULY, you still have a whole month to finish those stories, so rejoice and relax!

(but not too much - a month can go real quick!) So just to clarify:

Lightcannon Week is the 24th-31st of JULY, not June!

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

warhammer fact of the day:

did you know? the Sabbat-pattern helmet used by the Sisters Militant of the Adepta Sororitas was designed with a liftable visor so that they can kiss and make out with each other while wearing it (they may have to tilt their heads a little).

this is true and canon. verified information.

IMO hating Celine misses the point of the movie

If you can forgive Jinu for condemning his family to a horrible death, for killing countless people over centuries, for manipulating Rumi…. As a “mistake”,

How can you not forgive Celine for doing the best she could with what knowledge she had? For doing her best to protect a girl who would be killed on sight if people knew what she was?

No, Celine didn’t do the right thing. Yes, she made it impossible for the girls to trust her, so they tried to solve the problem by themselves.

But imo it’s extremely clear that this is also how Celine was raised, to never show weakness and kill without mercy.

Every shot we see of her, she is completely alone. Her friends are dead, most likely killed in battle, and she was left behind to pick up the pieces.

And there’s no one out there who she can talk to, or who would understand her pain, because as a Hunter she can’t show pain or weakness, and her whole life is a secret so the only person she COULD tell would be her young proteges who again she needs to raise into killers so she can’t let them see her be vulnerable!!!!

Her entire life, her training, her legacy, hell, THE FATE OF THE WORLD hinged upon her killing demons without mercy!

But she couldn’t do it, because she loved Rumi and Rumi’s mom

Celine probably thought she was passing on the legacy of strength and courage of the Hunters

Her character was done a disservice for not having a moment on screen where she acknowledged the only thing she passed on was a cycle of pain, shame, and secrets.

Finally watched KPOP Demon Hunters and it was amazing. Great music, great narrative, great characters, but can I just say how funny it is that the villains were called the Saja Boys?

For those who don't know, Saja translates to Lion, which is why their fans are the called 'the pride'. BUT the Korean 'grim reaper' archetype (which is what Jinu and the others are, based on their outfits), are called Jeoseung Saja.

I love word puns.

Do you guys want to read about a straight up war btw Zaun and Piltover bc boy do I have the fic series for you

it's Lux/Jinx primarily but throughout the series the tension between Zaun and Piltover builds and builds until it boils over into a war. Genuinely one of the best fic series I have ever read, cannot recommend it enough

For Flash Bangs & Frag Grenades: 9,11,12, please

Flashbangs & Frag Grenades is a series rather than a single fic, so I'll do my best.

For 9, there were surprisingly few changes to the actual narrative I had planned prior to Arcane. Arcane just gave me things to flesh out that I otherwise might've not. Jinx was always going to be a Chembaron/Chemlord, for instance, this just gave me the narrative tool of mirroring Silco, which was fun. Honestly, the closest thing to an alternate version had to do with Renata, if you can believe it. She was originally supposed to be an antagonistic character, but the moment I put her and Seraphine in a room together the chemistry made me change my mind completely.

For 11, the thing I like best about the series as a whole was that I finished it, lol. But being serious, I think I'd say it was getting to give Lightcannon a happy ending while at the same time, opening up a new narrative thread for Renataphine. I love continuing stories while still being able to give satisfying endings.

For 12, the thing I like least, is hard to say. I tend not to write things I regret or dislike. If I had to pick, though. I'd say it was the fact that the tail end of Let There Be Light became more of an ensemble cast story and, so, lost some of the Lightcannon focus. I don't regret that, per se, because I needed to do it that way to tell the actual story itself, but I do feel like it's a little sad.

For Never knows best, 3, 4, & 11?

Oof, 3 is a toughie because I had a lot of lines I loved in NKB. If I had to pick, though, I'd say it would have to be when Lux is being super normal and platonic about Jay in her journal:

...what was a sermon to those springberry eyes? What was a God or an Aspect compared to her silent lips?

As for 4, favorite line of dialogue? I think that has to go to Auntie Tia, actually.

"...A girl, though? A girl might ruin your whole life, and you may never stop loving her despite that.”

And in terms of 11, what I liked best about this fic? I think what I liked best about it was being able to correct all the EGREGIOUS flaws from the Lux comic AND being able to address all the things that I felt were left unsatisfied at the end of Arcane S2 at the same time. Being able to do both, narratively speaking, was really satisfying.

For Ennui: 2, 11, 15?

2: The first scene I put down was chapter 1, but the first scene I really conceptualized was the mid-climactic scene with Alessa praying with the dying Isarae.

11: My favorite thing about Ennui is hard to pin down. I started the story out of spite because of how many 'break-the-cutie' Sororitas/Dark Eldar fics I'd seen lately (at the time) so I decided to invert that and have the Dark Eldar be broken by the Cult Imperialis. I think the fact that I succeeded at that is my favorite thing, actually.

15: And what I learned other than in general of how my writing improved was how, uh...defensive Eldar players get over their space elves. I got some mean comments. Which, again, is funny in context of the fact that I was only doing in reverse what other writers did to Sisters of Battle, so...double standards, I guess? lol.

Based off the reblog you posted 🤭

"Never Knows Best" - Where did the title come from?? Is it a saying? A reference?

Never Knows Best is a reference to a brief scene in an anime called FLCL (Fooly Cooly)!

But more importantly, the reason I chose it is because it's a sentence that can be read two different ways; either as 'I never know best' as in 'I'm a fuck-up and I always make the wrong choice'.

Or as a more literal sentence saying: 'Never' knows best. As in 'never' 'nothingness' 'doing nothing' 'being nothing' would be best.

I thought it reflected Jay/Jinx's state of being in NKB.
