[arsenicetvieillesenseignes]

J'en ai (un peu) plus qu'assez de traîner mon cul à travers les rues des patelins pour photographier ces foutues vieilles enseignes. Elles ont eu leur heure de gloire, comme moi après quelques verres de trop au bistrot du coin. Elles ont survécu à des décennies de crachin, de fientes de pigeons et d'affiches politiques dégueulasses. Avec leurs gueules burinées par le temps, elles sont devenues des œuvres d'art urbain que tout le monde photographie. Je n’irai pas jusqu’à dire que ça devient lassant, mais faire comme tout le monde, ça m’a toujours gonflé. Alors, qu'est-ce qu'il me reste à faire ? Immortaliser les chiottes publiques, ces petits coins lugubres, souvent négligés, ces cloaques où l’on va se soulager en espérant qu’il reste un bout de PQ. C’est peut-être tordu, mais je m’en balance. Je me glisse dans ces coins puants avec mon appareil, comme une aventurière en quête du Graal. Les murs décrépis, les dessins obscènes, les messages cryptiques laissés par des inconnus, tout cela devient mon terrain de jeu. Les toilettes publiques sont le reflet le plus cru de l'âme humaine, un endroit où les masques tombent, où les vérités les plus intimes sont dévoilées. Et dans ce dédale d'urinoirs crasseux, il y a aussi parfois encore, les dames pipi, ces anges gardiens des chiottes publiques, ces saintes femmes qui veillent sur ces lieux maudits. Elles sont là, assises sur leur tabouret, avec leur petite boîte à pièces et leur sourire fatigué. Elles ont tout vu, tout entendu, tout nettoyé. Elles ont du courage à revendre, ces braves femmes. Elles sont la touche d’humanité dans ce monde de merde. Elles sont belles ces dames pipi, elles sont belles comme une fleur qui pousse sur un tas d’ordures. Et moi j’ai envie de capter ces instants de vérité, ces fragments d’âme qui s’échappent entre deux chasses d’eau. Les enseignes peuvent bien attendre un peu, car dans les toilettes publiques, c'est là que se trouve la véritable humanité.

Hi!! Okay, so your dinluke art is the jumping off point for my interest in the pairing. I love how you draw them and always get so excited when it comes up in my timeline! Do you have some top favourite fics that you would recommend?

Hi!! Ahhhh that makes me happy that you’ve been intrigued by the dinluke! It was such a random pairing when i first saw it start popping up and i thought, let me just quick browse through the ao3 tags for fun and yeah… deep dived down that rabbit hole. I was hooked pretty quickly LOL There’s sooo many good fics and writers out there for the ship! You should definitely give the ao3 tag a browse. Not sure what preferences you have but as always, check the tags!

These are some of the first ones that pop into my head (these authors have other works for the pair you can check out too!)

Separate Ways and Worlds Apart by PepperPrints on ao3 (I think Separate Ways was one of the first dinluke fics I read and probably what made me fall in love with them so fast.)

I see you have a sword (I have one too) by lelex on ao3 (love the coparenting and saber training/sparring)

i give to you by @treescape on ao3 and tumblr (I’m currently making my way through their dinluke fics, they’re so cute and sweet 🧡)

His Beacon, His Harbor by annathaema (moony) on ao3 (also one of the first dinluke fics i read!)

If anyone has any recs for the ship, feel free to add them as well!! even i could use some more haha

FIC! REC! FRIDAY!

hey folks you already know the name of this game: its friday and i recommend some fanfictions to you that ive read this week or some other week and you go show their authors some love!

1. i love you in the morning when the blood runs to your cheeks by lelex (15k, general audiences, klance)

FARMERS MARKET AU. keith runs a small knife sharpeners business and is roped into running a market stall by shiro, who already works there. lance works at his mother’s bakery, which also has a stall.

ive read this one like three times because its so damn cute and i love how they wrote keith. if this author has a tumblr please send them my way 😁

2. if i say jump, you just say “how high?” (i think you might love me to death) by negativefouriq/autisticlancemcclain (9k, teen&up, klance)

canonverse fic where somehow somewhere keith has it in his head him and lance are lovers. lance cannot find it in himself to say otherwise. this one shoots me in the foot everytime i read it because keith is SO attentive and knows lance down to the letter. get me a man like that.

3. never judge a book by nostalgicish (3k, teen&up, klance)

modern au where lance and hunk are library assistants at their local college. they like to kin assign people books and genres to pass the time, but when a strange, gruff looking dude walks in to pick up pride and prejudice…shit happens.

GUYS this one is so cute i beta-read it and stal is a very good friend of mine So. everyone should partake in classical romance reader keith.

4. speak for the stars by speaks (ao3 account required! 49k, teen&up, klance)

canonverse fix-it with black paladin lance! guys this is one of my absolute favorites. this is the klance bible to me. this is how voltron ended, this is canon, and no one can tell me otherwise. make an ao3 account if you dont have one and read it.

5. would you like fries with that? by deerstalkerdeathfrisbee

modern au where keith is a minimum wage employee at a burger king and lance comes in recreationally to cry and get french fries.

this one is SO cute and so silly. i too would break down in a burger king drive through if the worker asked for my order.

happy friday, yall, enjoy your reading material and tell your author friends you love them xoxo soulreapin

came in from the outside (burned out from a joy ride)

Read it on https://archiveofourown.org/works/54478336 by lelex “It’s illegal,” Din points out one night a few weeks later, as if he didn’t beat the shit out of folks for money for the better part of his life. “So is jaywalking,” Luke says, completely unconcerned. He’s sitting on one of the wheely carts and kicking his feet, watching Din work. One of his shoe laces is untied. Din wants to get down on his knees and wrap his fingers around Luke’s ankle like some sort of regency idiot from the movies Cara pretends she doesn’t like, double knot his laces. “And pirating movies.” * Or, Luke shows up at Din's garage under slightly suspicious circumstances, he goes to one singular illegal street race, and falls in love. Words: 17912, Chapters: 1/1, Language: English Fandoms: The Mandalorian (TV) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Categories: M/M Relationships: Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Street Racing, Mechanic Din Djarin, Street Racer Luke Skywalker, First Meetings, Developing Relationship, Falling In Love, Bottom Luke Skywalker, Top Din Djarin, Sex on a Car, POV Din Djarin, in my brain modern au coruscant is a mix of las vegas and gotham, I don't know shit about cars but this isn't really about racing anyway, it's about mutual pining and being in love, grogu is also here but as a normie human four year old

*Galex isn't really a 'rare' Alex ship, but I tossed it on there anyway just for fun since it's not necessarily a popular ship in the overall fandom.

Lemme see what your little paws are after in the rarepair world! Please reblog for a bigger pool of votes if you don't mind!

pretty happy lyin' here with you (pretty good to feel somethin') by lelex

(T, 9.6K, 1/1)

The guy does nothing aside from hold the jacket out farther, swinging it closer to Shouto’s bloody face.

Taking a closer look at the jacket from where it dangles in his hand is Shouto’s only option.

There are pins attached to the collar and pockets sporadically, glinting softly in the light. Patches too, hand stitched on, Shouto can tell by his cursory glance. A little gay pride ribbon is pinned to the front pocket with an honest to god safety pin.

The jacket looks well-loved—clearly worn frequently and decorated with intention. Speaks of a long term attachment that only someone dedicated to a specific item achieves.

*

Or, they pass a jean jacket back and forth long enough for them to fall in love.

SmutWars 2024 Fics

Creators have been revealed for SmutWars 2024 and I'm proud to say I wrote two fics for this exchange!

Secrets Undone (Explicit; 5,399 words), Luke/Leia/Han for lelex

When Leia unexpectedly comes on a mission to find Force-sensitives with Luke and Han, Luke finds, aided by the locals unintended help, he can no longer hide his suppressed feelings.

And

The Best of the Best (Explicit; 4,361 words), Luke/Leia/Vader for drabbish

When Imperial Captain Luke Starkiller is asked by Lord Vader specifically to accompany him to the meet the emperor on the Death Star he thinks his cover is blown, but nothing is what it seems.

I had a lot of fun writing them, so I hope you'll enjoy reading them!

A Tasting Menu Of TDBKTD

So, we've made 3 or 4 shigadabi rec lists, let's do my other favorite BNHA ship! I've read all of these multiple times and it is NOT an exhaustive list of favorites, just a sample of some of the ones that I loved in each section. Most of these authors also have an extensive list of other good TDBKTD fics they’ve written. 

Happy reading!

There’s Something Wrong With Bakugou

[melonbite]

do you read any todobaku fics? if so, any favorites?

eheh yes i do 😇 my favourite of all time is soft touch by seventh_time_lucky (proceeds to explode at the mere memory of this fic), likewise their other fics are so ace too. like……… 🙏 i also recommend constant vigilance + my brother, my brother, and me (shouto and natsuo reconnect; family fic)

others i’ve read and enjoyed off the top off my head: a royal gambit and sweeter than victory by lostloveletters (adore the whimsical, intricate aus so much)

lelex fics, ones im thinking of rn is wonder if you look both ways (reconnection fic… explozn) and their sweater knitting au (trust me….. yarn has never been more romantic…..)

heaven can wait by bluemoonrabbit is saur good and artfully recaptures nge’s storyline whilst using character writing loyal to the bnha cast, spinning it fresh and approachable. sorry the fan in me took over it made me watch nge 🫨 asuka katsuki langley bakugou u were named after the bravest man i

recently i enjoyed some snowandfire fics: truth in advertising, pen and ink (i proceed to explode), and perihelion (space aus… explo—)

ok thats it for now

[moodyseal]

oh another thing to add on to hyacinthus being a legacy. lacedaemon was married to sparta, who was the daughter of the previous king, eurotas (who’s also said to be a river god, but not a normal one, considering his family tree). some say eurotas was the son of myles, whose father is lelex, and others say eurotas wasn’t the grandson but actually just a son of lelex and cleochareia. thats beside the point, what is important is his relation to lelex, first king of laconia. lelex is most commonly said to be born straight out of the earth, but i also read in a few places that he was also either the son of poseidon or helios? take the last two with a grain of salt because i’m not finding credible sources for them. how eurotas ends up being a river god im not too sure, considering cleochareia, his grandma, is also apparently born from the eurotas river (or oceanus? gets confusing) considering the fact that she’s a naiad. maybe he’s named after his great grandpa, who was the god? or cleochareia was born from the marsh water originally here, and when eurotas drained away that water, forming the river, he became the god of that river. but my point is. other than zeus, spartan hyacinthus is also a legacy of the river god eurotas and possibly poseidon/helios (though that is most likely definitely not true).

I'm loving all this info about Hyacinthus' heritage my friend, thank you!! 💕 Anyway if that were the case, then Hyacinthus wouldn't be just any legacy, would he? With the amount of gods in his family tree, that would definitely make him more of a full-fledged demigod at this point rather than just a regular descendant—no matter how small the god, still a reasonably powerful demigod at that.

I know you said that the thing about Poseidon/Helios most likely isn't true, but if Hyacinthus did have them as his ancestors that would be INSANE. I mean, he'd have two pretty important deities in his family: either two Olympians or an Olympian and a Titan, of all things. That'd be a huge point of pride in the family, and increase Hyacinthus' power and status even more.

This is so intriguing as a concept!! His family's web of relationships seems to be growing by the second

Can’t you hear my heart heart beat loud, I won’t live this down

Lelex for the feels

Hell was the journey but it brought me heaven

Fist fightin’ with fire just to get close to you

Honesty is like a kiss on the lips (come closer and I’ll tell you exactly how it is)

Wanna put my tender heart in a blender

The delicate calculus of my heart

Todobakutodo for the soft soft soft

so many things but the todobaku soft hours series is killer
