Alright. I'm taking the plunge. Here we go! Please tell your friends and neighbors, because this fandom defines niche. ;)

“You’re his acolyte,” Archelaos clarified. He’d given the idea some thought, but as people always made him uncomfortable, he’d never seriously considered it. Iolaus shook his head. “No, no, no.  Me, an acolyte? I’d be terrible at that, and besides, Herc doesn’t have acolytes. He’s been my best friend since we were kids.” “I’ve heard stories about the son of Zeus,” Archelaos said, straining with his underdeveloped social skills to frame his inquiry without giving offence. “I’ve even heard the name Hercules, but I’ve never heard of you.” Iolaus stiffened with indignation. “So some dim-witted old bats with no sense of history decided to become bards. Can I help it if they can’t tell a hero from a harpy?”

Are you alive, fandom? I have a present for you... A long fic that I've been working on for (checks file date) an embarrassingly long time. I'm in final edits and wondering if there's an audience. Interested? Title: Love of a Jealous Kind Summary: Iolaus gets the attention of another demigod, and Hercules faces what’s godly in his feelings for his friend.

They have such good energy together. :D

Aimee and Liam roleplaying on Twitter is literally my favourite thing.

I made this clock for Bdubs (it's a player head drop, acually), but I don't know how to bring it to his attention. Does anyone have any ideas?

If you build it, they will come.

If you like frogs. Or possums. Or cool builds. Or happiness. This is the video for you.

Odysseus: Hello! I’m here to offer my hand in marriage to Helen.

Leta: Welcome to Sparta! This is my daughter Helen, world famous for her beauty. And this is my creepy arts and crafts niece, Penelope.

Penelope: *hisses*

Odysseus: …

Odysseus: Change of plans. I want the weird girl.

Calypso: You have to make a choice. It’s either your wife or-

Odysseus: My wife.

Calypso: you didn’t let me finish.

Odysseus: I’m so sorry goddess, please continue.

Calypso: Its either your wi-

Odysseus: My wife.

Calypso: Either yo-

Odysseus: My wife.

Calypso:…

Odysseus: That last one was genuinely unintentional.

PLEASE LISTEN TO EPIC: THE MUSICAL IF YOU LOVE GREEK MYTHOLOGY OR THE ILLIAD AND THE ODYSSEY.

Penelope: I had the weirdest dream last night. An eagle swooped down from the heavens and killed 20 geese.

Odysseus, disguised as a beggar: Well, fair queen, clearly this means that your husband is coming home and will kill your suitors.

Penelope: If only there was a way to tell the eagle to hurry the fuck up.

Odysseus:

Penelope: *dumps a bunch of weapons at Odysseus’s feet*

Penelope: Clumsy me

All of this is valid.

Editing? Oh you mean fic patching.

In a world where genies are commonplace and delight in granting wishes in the most inconvenient way possible, you are a defense attorney who must defend your client, a well-meaning genie who is charged with felonious wish-granting.

It's my favorite, your honor.

I’ve only known Smoliv for a few hours yet I would kill for this creature

Elf video games: 300 hour jrpgs with legions of characters and several novels worth of text. Labrynthine upgrade trees and customization options. The most insufferably unintuitive UI possible. A single turn based battle can take hours. Every character has an ennui stat.

Dwarf video games: Basebuilding strategy FPSs that has a whole wiki page on the flexile vs tensile strengths of different building materials. Dwarven rhythm games have minigames where you have to manage supply lines. Mortals cannot comprehend dwarven grand strategy games.

Halfling video games: What appears on the surface to be a viscerally calming farming sim is actually an extraordinarily complex social combat game about cutthroat HOA politics.

Goblin video games: Wildly unbalanced collectathon gatchas where half the fun is finding new hilariously broken strategies. Zany uberviolent team shooters about bugs. MOBAs so bad it's almost art.

Orc video games: Addictive in-browser flash games with names like "Beast Crush 4" and "Borag Meat Game." The art is always kinda bad but in a charming way. The music always slaps.

cooking recipies: if you wanna throw in some salsa, you can go ahead and do that. Replace the chicken with cauliflower, use ketchup to make a soup base, I don't give a shit. Feel free to do whatever you want.

baking recipies: take one insolent step from the righteous path and you have doomed yourself, your kitchen, and your entire bloodline.

I love this for two reasons: 1) it would be awesome to have a sentient plant with an accessibility device on a starship, 2) from a meta standpoint, the brilliance of having a literal (non-sentient) plant as an actor/character who audiences WOULD attach to and create stories for and care about...it's just, the height of human storytelling, and I mean that in a non-ironic way.

I don't watch Star Trek but I've talked it over with some Star Treks and I think the next Star Trek crew member should be a potted plant. Just a weird looking little succulent or w/e in a pot, with wheels and a hawkings-style voice synth. Their badge or whatever can be a lil tree ornament. Low budget, no actor required character that will be instantly iconic. Whoever owns Star Trek write me a goddamn check.
