Learning to party spellcaster style (when you're a reclusive and perpetually gloomy vampire), part two.

Grace: This was an amazing idea, Em!

Emilia: [whoops giddily] I feel so alive!

Tomax: Last one to the Gardens takes cauldron cleaning duty!

Emilia: No way! You’ve got an unfair advantage.

Tomax: Guess you should’ve thought of that when you wasted your money on that cutesy little twig you’re riding!

Caleb: I can’t believe you’re going along with this.

Morgyn: Oh, we’ll be fine.

Caleb: The little one isn’t even using her hands!

Morgyn: The magic does most of the steering anyway. What, afraid we’ll go plummeting into the endless abyss?

Caleb: Yes!

Grace: Oh my god, they are literally too adorable!

Tomax: Would you look at that? Dracula knows how to bust a move.

Morgyn: The children are watching us.

Caleb: Let them.

Morgyn: Oh, that potion must have been good. I’ve never seen this uninhibited side of you.

Caleb: Do you like it?

Morgyn: I love it.

-

Grace: Get over here, Caleb! We can’t commemorate the night without you.

Caleb: No, no. I’m afraid I’d ruin the shot.

Morgyn: Don’t resist, darling! We’re not taking no for an answer.

Caleb: You know I won’t show up in the photo, right?

Morgyn: Shh. It’s about the memories.

One of Danny's fans record him singing as phantom and upload it to the internet and goes viral, especially in heroes who had experience the death.

The heroes who have never died are going crazy trying to find this new rogue who succeeded in control most of the JL, without their best detective, the batman.

@ Embers - Lilith always becoming shy when being complimented by someone she admires - or fearful when hit by some foreign gonk. (there is a reason netrunning is her proficiency - the solitude attracts an introvert like her) She might have found her Black Ice in the physical world now though which makes it much easier to endure.

...I don't have the heart to tell her Spongebob is there...'

I don't think pizza is gonna bring him back to his senses. Might as well try Beat The Common Sense Into You No Jutsu. I mean it did wonders for Naruto..

Is there any universe where Raph is NOT the hothead?

(looks it up on Google)

Ok...so by definition magma is molten rock that is underground, while lava is described as molten rock that has broken through the earth's surface.

Just putting this here for educational purposes

Ember: At least you're not with TMZ!

Aannd I'm happy.

...no one tell him Spongebob is here too.

Hoo boy..this guy kicked my ass on my last stock.

im still not a huge fan of elemental's art direction but this clip actually sells me on it, the trailers for this movie underrepresented it soooooo bad

Could you please draw my redesign of Merlin for my fanfiction?

I did my best to match the image since my style tends to be a bit cartoony so i looked at some of his old concept art to work with

So I did a thinggggg •w•

[rinshairandthoughts]

So....This took me months to get finished. I have been too busy and this was one of my refuges for stress relief.....it is available on Redbubble, but that’s because I literally drew it so I can get this on a shirt and some stickers and stuff myself.

rosig reads: the ember blade by chris wooding

this is a great read if you’re looking to get into the epic fantasy genre, or if you find epic fantasy great in theory but insanely convoluted in reality. it has lots of the fun trappings of an epic fantasy with an easy to follow plot.

here are some highlights:

lots of mini plot arcs: prison, journey, and heist arcs all in one novel

well developed female characters… they all have their own motivations and are never treated as ‘props’ for the main character

ADDITIONALLY: it doesn’t sexualise the female characters (including the one the main character has a crush on). it’s such a wonderful thing when epic fantasies treat women as people, and this one does an excellent job at it— while also acknowledging in-world sexism

emphasis on friendships and platonic love

flawed but likeable main character

multiple POVs with a diverse ensemble cast

all of the characters’ motivations make sense (even the enemies’)

solid world building

honestly, this is a well thought out book. the main themes are colonization and oppression, and the author remains tasteful while also being frank about the reality of colonization. it’s a fine line, and i really think he handled it well. the main character is a person who had benefitted from the colonization of his own people, which provided an interesting perspective— his character growth is great.

something that might be a negative or a positive, depending on your preferences is how heavy handed the author is: everything is very explicitly stated. anything that might be remotely confusing (a metaphor or a character’s actions) is explained the next sentence over. you definitely don’t need to think while reading this, which is great if you’re looking for a light read or if you find it challenging to infer characters’ thought processes from their actions. personally, i prefer trying to discover the ‘why’ behind characters’ actions, so i found the constant explanations took away from the reading experience.

the pacing can also be a bit weird, there’s a betrayal arc which lasts about fifteen pages, and characters tend to forgive each other and be reasonable a bit more easily than one might realistically expect… these moments come across as slightly hallow in comparison with other, well fleshed-out moments

7/10 if you think of it as an adult epic fantasy, but a 9/10 if you think of it as an epic fantasy geared towards young adults. i honestly think that this series would be great for older teenagers (16 or so), it’s a brilliant introduction to epic fantasy. reads like a bag of pick n mix

if you enjoyed this, I recommend the mistborn series by brandon sanderson or the rampart worlds series by julian may (sci-fi with a similar tone)

Gary: (translated) My true voice is something your ghostly self can't properly comprehend.

Ember: Real zen there pops.

Ember: Just because I'm a ghost doesn't mean I wanna hang around a graveyard. Stereotyping is NOT cool!

JAM SESSION!

Time to get fired up for the next match!

Ember: Yeah, don't take this butt kicking too personally. Nah on second thought TAKE IT VERY PERSONALLY...I dunno why but something about her bugs me...

Me: Does she remind you of Vicky by any chance--

EMBER: I THOUGHT SO TOO!!!

...at least she didn't use a pirate pun.

Ember: And let me just add, pirate shantys like that are LAME!
