"💎💎💎"!!
[Diamonds time!]
Kadira
Bright joy widens Minovae's expression. "Kadee! Oh", she lays a hand over her breast. "'Big Sister Kadee', so brave and strong and kind, ready to lower her chin and butt horns with whoever's messed with her flock. Bless her heart."
She clicks her tongue, and grins a little devilishly.
"Because Hells does she need it. It's a miracle she hasn't started going grey yet with how much pressure she puts on herself to keep everything going. It's like looking into a mirror sometimes, you know? Like a reminder to take a break."
A shake of her head and coil of her tail conveys her affection... and a sense of exasperation. "She's wonderful, and I love and trust her dearly, I really do. I've also thought about knocking her out and making her take a break through less diplomatic means but that'd just make her more stubborn, I'm sure. Anyway, it's nice to have a Shelynite in the company that has a bit more sense and realistic expectations about them. Probably because she's also a right genius--intimidatingly so, even. I've tried to read a few of her books before and I was only reminded of how poorly educated I am!"
She laughs. It's genuine.
"She never makes anyone feel bad about it, though. It's refreshing. Most learned spellcasters of her caliber tend to have chip on their shoulder about their combination of effort and talent. She's humble, though. Maybe a little too humble, since she hardly accepts a compliment and seems to think herself a nuisance and a bother despite being-" she gestures "-everything that she is. Her self-doubts are neither here nor there though. Bottom line is we get along."
She sucks at her lips a second, hesitating.
"Mostly. Sometimes we disagree about... the law... the gods... justice... lots of things actually. It's never fights but, woof, let's just say we both get a little passionate about the things we believe in!"

Trope Tierlist
Did them more for stuff I like to write than stuff that I like to read! Also, I didn't order the things in the individual tiers because I was lazy...but also because they tend to change based on mood and that sort of thing, too.
Steal it if you wanna do it! And tag me so I can seeeeeeee--

Had a dream this morning that Archive of our Own had a Random button which would simply take you to a random fanfic, like Wikipedia has. (AO3 does not appear to really have this, I checked and couldn't find one, but I kinda wish they did.) Someone had started a game where whatever fic you got, that was your new fandom, which is very fun! I would love this meme in real life.
The problem came in where so many people used the button that it broke and just started sending everyone to Stealing Harry, and like...I have fond memories of Stealing Harry but it's not my best work and nobody should be assigned to be a Harry Potter fan in this day and age.
So I decide to go off and find Astolat and demand she fix this but when I finally did (there was a whole quest) she turned to me like the baddie in a horror flick and said, "But that's the most random story there is" in a dark voice and I was terrified and woke up.
In the cold light of day I know there are more random stories by me on the archive, let alone by others, but I'm not going to try to get back there to argue my case. Pretty sure whatever I spoke to was actually the demon specifically assigned to plague fandom and not Astolat at all.
I'd say "get thee behind me, demon" but I know just how many porny fics on AO3 begin with that premise. (I've written some.) Begone foul spirit, and take your Satanic Panic with you!

Let the games begin.
Well. Well, well, well, well, well. It’s here. The day has finally come. We’ve enjoyed witnessing you set dashboards ablaze the world over with your fandom hot takes, your cats, your dragon art, your recipe polls, your incorrect quotes, your Barbie memes. (But, really, mostly your cats.)
Starting April 20, you will be able to Blaze each other's posts: You’ll be able to scroll through your dash and see a post that tickles you, and then make thousands of complete strangers see that post also.
We made this for fun, but you remain in charge of your stuff. So here are some important details:
Blog-level settings: All blogs will be set to Blazable by default in your blog settings. We’re giving you this heads-up so you can toggle Blaze off on any blog you don’t want people to Blaze posts from (quick link for web). Remember to do so for any secondaries you might want to keep Blaze-free.
Post-level settings: These override your blog-level Blaze settings. You can enable Blaze in the post editor—before or after posting—via the cog (web) or the meatball menu (mobile), regardless of your blog's Blaze settings. Any posts you previously disabled reblogs on will remain unsharable via Blaze. Unless, of course, you edit the post to enable Blaze.
Real humans moderate all posts being Blazed before they go out. If something’s fishy or seems like it might be harmful, it won’t go through.
When someone Blazes your post, you will receive an email, push notification, and/or activity item (depending on your settings).
You can cancel the Blazing of your post before it happens—or extinguish a post that is already being Blazed—either by responding to the aforementioned notification, or via the “Active” tab in your Blaze interface.
We will only accept posts that comply with our global advertising guidelines. Interested in advertising directly? Find out more here.
Here are some FAQs.
So that’s it, really. Be nice! Have fun!
And, as always, if you want to get in touch, drop us a line on @wip or Support, and keep an eye out for more updates on @changes.
