Context of the reverse ending : Liam needs to do some research on the arcana and they have books about it. In exchange, Valdemar gets to study his decaying arm.

also kyper going so hardcore about 1634 today saved me..... "34 wants 16. he doesnt want 88, he doesn't want anybody else. he wants him." he said it with SO much conviction, it's killing me. like that's how me and the oomfs speak bro, welcome to the club. also the use of their numbers to make it less personal like these guys dont wear their numbers like a LIFELINEEEE......

Brodinsons should do nose-to-nose boops when they greet each other and everyone should think it's an Asgardian thing until they meet other Asgardians

I'd love if people reblogged and tagged this poll with their answer, their religious identity (if any), and the type of magic they practice! No judgement for any particular answer, just genuinely curious.

for skyfell readers

Its the announcement I never wanted to have to make, but yeah no it doesn't seem fair when tariffs are actively fucking me to the point that it's not financially feasible to get my own merch samples.

[[IMG ID: Screenshot from discord: I've been talking about opening the merch shop for Skyfell for months now and unfortunately I think I'm even farther away now from opening it than before. There's a few items already done, there's been discussion with fourth wall on fulfillment but there's an actual problem. American tariffs. Because Fourth Wall operates and ships from the US, if you're not in the states, you're going to get hit with nasty amount of tariffs. Here in Canada, I've had to be very careful when I'm shopping online, cuz I've been hit with $100+ tariff charges when buying from places that ship from the US. I'd love to be able to open the merch store but I can't even get my own merch without being hit with the federal + provincial tax, so I can't imagine what it's like for the Europeans and beyond. For now, if I open up a merch store it will be digital goods only because it really does not seem fair for the international voidlets to have to pay even more than they already have to with shipping, and then have to pay an extra arm and a leg. I'll hopefully be able to give you guys better news eventually but for now, physical merch is going to have to wait. Love you guys. ID END]]

Poll, because I'm in that silly, utterly exhausted stage of illness recovery: the first day verticality beyond more than about two hours a stretch is feasible proposition, but thoughts still as elusive as a silverfish school. And flipping between what would be "dog-eared) (if audio became dog-eared) canon scenes, I started finding Schwab and facial hair (or lack thereof, fascinating (told you all I was loopy today).

As of the original trilogy (with the fairly large caveat I was only searching the

obvious terms: moustache, goatee, stubble, etc.: denoted facial hair's rare for Schwab. We have:

1. Maxim Maresh "A towering man with broad shoulders and bright eyes and a black beard".

(Yessssss! I'd pictured him with the full, if neatly maintained, beard for well over a year now, but doubted there was canon basis for it.)

2. Barron! "Built like a brick wall—if a brick wall decided to grow a beard—tall and wide and impressively steady".

(DAMN, what a good deadpan hilarious description courtesy of Kell.)

3. Ros Vortalis "The king had gone still. Blood matted his front, flecked his beard, shone in his open, empty eyes.

(I mean really! Schwab? _This! is when and how you give us said detail?)* keens*

4. Tieren (but only once in Acol, where he "curls" a beard around his finger—so Tieren possibly only beards only when extremely stressed, which is kinda amazing if so.)

5. Both Staff and Tolners—Kell and Rhy's guards in AGOS/Acol are said to have silvering beards. Which is really interesting, because they both served Maxim previously—the prince/king setting an unintentional fashion among his cadre?)

But everyone else: absolutely _no _clues. Which makes me curious re fannish consensus, and while I don't feel like doing everyone

Valicer Multiamory Month, Day Twenty-Eight: Magic (Valicer In The Dark AU)

The end of Multiamory March (as made by @polyamships) creeps ever closer, and today's prompt is a simple but fun one: "magic!" I have a number of AUs where magical things happen, so filling this one? Not a problem. :p Now, one might have expected that I'd do something for the All The Fairy Tales AU for this one, or perhaps the Medieval Fantasy AU, or maybe even the Valicer Forgotten Vows AU --

But when it came time to figure out something for this prompt, the first thing that actually came to mind was my beloved Valicer In The Dark AU. Which does indeed have magic in it -- just, uh, magic you don't want to mess with too much. Which led to me thinking about what the trio would have learned about magic, growing up in Duskwall -- and what Alice and Smiler might think about Victor getting into it once he embraces being a Whisper. And so the story below was born! I hope you enjoy. :)

--

Magic was dangerous.

That was a fact of life one learned early on, living in Duskwall. Magic, and anything related to it, was dangerous. The old tongue of sorcery was the domain of demons now, who used it to torment all who opposed them – from freezing them in storms of ice, to drowning them in massive waves, to burning them with whips of fire. And rituals? Well, you never knew what mysterious, otherworldly force would consent to lend you a bit of its power – or for what purpose. The city was full of stories featuring those who had dabbled in what they didn’t understand, and ended up paying a terrible price. Who had discovered that the power they so eagerly sought was also their inevitable downfall. Magic was dangerous, and thus best avoided.

Alice and Smiler had known that too – they’d grown up hearing all the stories, all the warnings, after all. And for the most part, they’d followed said warnings – Alice had confined her interest in the fantastical to her imagination, where magic could run wild without hurting anyone, while Smiler had channeled their desire to accomplish incredible things into alchemy, which often ran up against the side of magic, but never quite crossed over. Even after Alice suffered the death of her family and ten years in Rutledge Asylum, and Smiler finally ran away from home and was cheerfully swallowed up by the Advocates, neither of them were tempted much by the mystical.

And then they met Victor. Who – after some initial reluctance – wholeheartedly embraced life as a Whisper. Who poured through ancient volumes of spellcraft and sorcery, studying distressingly complex diagrams and practicing words no human tongue should be able to form. Who asked his ghostly mentor what rituals he knew, and how best to perform them. Who eventually came up with his own spells, designed to translate any language or ward them against spectral attacks or even drag them all temporarily into the ghost field. All the sort of terrifying, dangerous activities that any sensible person would want to avoid.

But – well. One could accuse Alice and Smiler of being a lot of things, but “sensible” was not usually one of them. And things Victor did – first, they were genuinely incredible feats of arcane power. Second, he always tried to be as safe as possible, and only use them for the whole crew’s benefit. And third – whenever he spoke a word that brought lightning arcing down from the sky, or drew a symbol that lit up a ghostly map of the city, Alice and Smiler would see the joy on his face –

And think, how could they deny the man they loved such pleasure?
