#Precipice of Change

[elveny]

✨What's a fic you've posted you wish you could breathe life into again and have people talking about it? (or simply a fic you wish got more credit)

From the Real Fic Writer Asks | Thank you!! ♥

(I was away for the weekend so I haven't been able to get to them before, thanks for your patience!)

That's a hard one!! 👀 I think most writers would love if literally any of their works got more credit / attention. I've narrowed it down to two fics: The Siren's Claim and Precipice of Change.

The Siren's Claim is my FFXIV mermaid AU (M-rated, 17.5k words, 5 chapters, Estinien x WoL). I'm really proud of the way I managed to weave in a mythology that's not overloading it but gives a background and general feel for the world. The story is concise and rich at the same time, with a general buildup that I think works really, really well. I hope once Mermay comes around again, people who read it boost it a bit :D

And then there's Precipice of Change. I cannot really fault people for not giving it a chance because it's LONG, but I still wish, more people would read it and love it. It's a DA2 AU that spans three works with a whole of nearly 600k words. So reading it is involved. Still, I am immensely proud of what @kunstpause and I achieved with that series, giving the events of DA2 a different weight and intensity than ingame, giving Cullen a character and redemption arc that makes him actually sympathetic and works well for DAI, giving all the characters the love they deserve. Our two protagonists are so immensely close to our heart, and I think you notice that.

Upon the Precipice of Change Discord Server. So, back in like...2015 there was this idea that Fable and Dragon Age would mesh really, really well together. So we created a group here on Tumblr to see how well it would take off. Well I never forgot about it and I still wanted this to get the attention it deserves, and now that there are new games for both coming out, I want to give it a chance. So! Do you like Dragon Age roleplay? Do you like Fable Roleplay? Do you like both? Do you only like one or the other? This is a multiship, multiverse, multimuse discord RP server where you can RP just Fable if you want, or just Dragon Age, or both! Stick to the crossover, or stick to the canonical games, it doesn't matter! Complete with thread tracker, music, Tupper bot, the ability for more than 1 person to claim and play as a character, OC friendly, OOC friendly, 18+ server with age verification, NSFW and SFW supportive.

[gynoidsluvtronix]

didn't want to get personal in OP's tags on that donelan post but that was literally all the straight voyeurs who showed up at the dungeon last night and then begrudgingly let their pants drop when it was only the trans people who took it upon themselves to be exhibitionists LOL

Check In

Do we still love Fable and Dragon Age? Was this a crossover we still wished would have gotten off the ground?

Would anyone be interested to know I made a discord server around this AU?

torn between wanting @mochalate to post more fics and wanting her to never publicly show her work ever again because it's just a little too good. like, you cannot possible go back and read anyone else's writing after you have read anything she's written

Okay but maybe I don't Want to live through the great paradigm shift. Have you considered that.

less of the birthday blues and more of a blurple

looking a lot like last year unfortunately

[capricornsister]

All these people around me still seemingly have their spirit and fully engage in the distractions of life and my only thought is "have fun." It's such a relief to let go of hope in a way + the ever-constant narrative of excitement for the journey ahead. Another lie to believe in. One more trapping of humanity...

it's been such a weird few years like this decade really started with such a fucked up year huh i know we went thru that as an entire planet but i think so many ppl in my life were just like haha that was crazy with covid i had to get my groceries delivered and work from home and it's like oh cool that that was the worst part of that for you im happy for you i lost so much i don't know how i survived.. and then i lost a bunch more stuff the next year too. and then 2022 started with more loss. but then i think ended up being a better year than the previous 2 combined and now 2023 has started on a pretty cool weird note and like i'm excited for life but i'm gonna go through so many changes shit is about to get really intense for me in good and bad ways and i am going to have to work so hard to rebuild my life now and i know i need to pace myself and ease back into being a human in a healthy and manageable way and i'm so excited for it but god i am too old and worn out and battered by everything to be getting into the kind of fucked up stuff ive been getting into my literal entire life so like. good vibes only idk i'm really excited about life rn and and wanna do good and i know how to be responsible and take care of my shit and have my life under control now it's just a matter of like sticking to what i know i need to do lmao. i'm really glad my first ever Big Solo Adult Travel was such a success and so much fun and cool and chill bc i feel like i can do anything now i feel very inspired and full of love and confidence and that's really nice. but like it easily could have been whack because i'm a downright clown and am so good at getting into some shit but like. yeaaaaaa good vibes can't go wrong with that just be cool and life will be cool back !!!!!

this is still maybe one of the most insane relationships I’ve ever had with an album…when I was 15 and really making an effort to figure out what I believed in and what I wanted to stand for this album was invaluable in articulating what I imagined living in active resistance would be like….the pain and anger and humiliation and discomfort and joy and sexiness and the love of it all…really very few pieces of work that I can think of even today that embody that. and it’s also one of those things where it rings so strongly of “what could have been” like it feels like it was recorded while we were on the precipice of something that we ultimately whimpered away from…which is why every song on here kind of makes me want to cry lol. anyway, great album!

There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept responsibility for changing them.

Some Yakuza villains: I am unlovable and I require nothing from others. I am self sufficient. Blegh urgh hnnnng

Same characters after receiving genuine kindness and sincerity: 🥺

A few of those same characters when the person who is nice and soft to them ends up giving them a heart boner: I'm madly in love with you now and everyone around me knows I'm weak for you

sometimes i think of that quote thats like 'everyone is motivated by love one way or another' and yeah you know what. most yakuza villains fall in line with that tbh
