necro-cav pairs on tandem bikes. thank you for your consideration 🙏

#Ianthe and Corona with Babs on one of those tiny trailers people put kids in behind the bike #campal on a one-seater bike and they are sharing the one seat (pal smugly in her lap I presume and steering while she peddles)#Griddlehark saw their bike in half and then shout at each other when they can’t ride it #the fourth frantically removing the stabilisers Magnus put on their bike before anyone cool sees them #(they succeed but roll the bike over and eat shit almost immediately)#second and fifth both competent but only the fifth are Enjoying that competency #seventh and eighth are both ‘cav does all the peddling’ but Dulcie steers #whereas Silas just yells commands like a wretched little boy king desperate to have rotten veg thrown at him by the crowd

For The Flowers Are Great Great Blessings

fandom: The Locked Tomb

pairing: Judith Deuteros/Coronabeth Tridentarius

rating: E

word count: 6k

"Go on," she found herself panting, "tell me- tell me what you think of me." She braced, clenching on nothing, for the next strike. It didn't come.

"What I… think of you? I- that's- it's just." Judith cleared her throat. "Princess. I need a little time to- to prepare my- if I could write it, perhaps, I-'' And now her hand did come down, but it did so very gently, resting light and a little cold against the upmost curve of Corona's thigh. "I have no talent for words. Which is not to say I care less, only that-"

"Jody, darling, I mean-" she stifled a sudden, unbidden giggle into the mattress, off-guard and charmed and warm all through the core of her. "I mean, call me a slut, or something. You know."

"I do not," said Judith, sounding remarkably prudish for someone who currently had a tremendously beautiful woman bent naked over her knee.

"Oh, come on. You can say easy if you're shy."

"That seems-"

"Whore?"

"Princess!"

Corona laughed again. "Alright! We'll work up to it. Just tell me- hmm." She stretched out, arching her back, and purred. "Tell me I've been bad, then."

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

i hate when ppl act like the only reason to not like a "sad" ending is because you can't take it or whatever. personally as a tragedy enjoyer, i hate a poorly written ending. i hate an ending that is just kind of a bummer. i hate an ending that feels mean-spirited to the audience. i hate an ending that's redundant. i love a sad ending that is thematically consistent, poignant, and bespoke to the rest of its narrative.

#YES

“Love itself is revolutionary and if you can’t see that then you should replay the game” oh yeah it’s pretty blatant and obvious I mean a fucking blind mole could see it. There’s a difference between playing it and understanding the message and then playing it through a shipping lense in order to make up shit that never happened so you could make mid fics + art while also ignoring the character’s actual traits.

Some people just like to frollick through media cuz the characters are hot and they need some masturbation material.

… yeah? Life is short I hope everybody who wants to frollick and jack off has the opportunity to do both as often as possible.

#and I hope everyone who wants to make art gives themselves the grace to make bad art #and I hope that people understand that perhaps the art people create for free for love as transformative fan work #does not represent their entire understanding of the source media #but rather that it’s something they wanted to see and were inspired to make #people contain multitudes #and we are so rarely privy to all of them #also bad art or mid art or whatever you want to call it #is a necessary process in the creation of good art #and anyway we all wildly disagree on where the good/bad line even is so #I don’t know #look I’m not immune to being annoyed by people doing harmless things but generally I think it’s an unhelpful impulse #you gotta give folks the grace you would want to be given #there’s too much actually wrong in the world to waste time stressing over other peoples fun #disco elysium #ask

i think theres a solidly non-zero chance atn gets split up again and the locked tomb series becomes a pentalogy but the main reason I think that wont happen is I'm guessing we've run out of possible ____ the ninth characters. perhaps valentine the ninth is still on the table from tamsyns 30k gideon pov epistolary au. although if tor decided to suddenly announce bonus book four: Anastasia the ninth i think my dash would lose its collective mind. (same.)

#tamsyn muir listen to me I am speaking directly into your ear #the extra book title is AIGLAMENE THE NINTH #and at LEAST half of it should be her having explicit and violently raunchy sex with pyrrha dve #the locked tomb

Okay I am making my boldest atn prediction yet. In alecto the ninth there WILL be fade to black griddlehark sex

#I want the wound fingering to be at least four pages of GRAPHICALLY DETAILED description #and the sex to be ambiguously implied in a way that makes it unclear whether or not it actually happened #do you see the vision #the locked tomb
