Happy 2 month anniversary of Acaciaclan! Instead of making the next moon, I decided to write out Sparkstars whole backstory and also made a fantasy human AU! (Below the cut)

It's Tintin Day again! ⚽✨
I know nothing about football but 'twas the season! And as a true Scotsman Haddock has been supporting every team which isn't England. Careful, Tintin!!! 😬

I feel like TJ Klune has really tapped into the boundless queer yearning to have love and sanctuary, and a funny little house.

saw a post ridiculing taryn for believing locke when he said the fae love differently than humans (& therefore believing his cruelty was necessary). not responding to the post directly because like. I’m not here to bully people about their takes lmao
but omg can you not see the tragedy in that? this young woman has had such a traumatic, frightful upbringing—her main models of fey love have been madoc the wife murderer/adoptive father and distant, proper oriana—why wouldn’t she believe locke? who, as a reminder, can’t lie; he really meant and believed what he said, as messed up as that is.
give me a reason for taryn not to believe him—for her to want better for herself—that’s not (1) based in our world and therefore irrelevant to taryn or (2) based in how cardan grows to love jude, because that’s meta-knowledge that taryn is not privy to
it’s just so sad and strange to me when people hold up jurdan as a way to ridicule taryn. like it’s beautiful and wonderful and rare that jude and cardan found safety and belonging in one another—and you’re really going to use that to mock a girl who believed it when she was told that kind of love wasn’t in the cards for her? holy shit dudes

someday when you're in college you may be registering for classes and see a 'TBD' next to the professor category on a class you're required to take. and you will hear a little voice in your head saying 'just take the class anyway, it can't be that bad. surely the school i'm putting myself in debt to go to wouldn't hire someone who doesn't know how to teach.' that voice is the devil. do not listen

man okay so I used to play mechquest and dragonfable back in like, 2008 when I was a kid with very little patience to follow a storyline. coming back as an adult and finishing mechquest has absolutely slapped me silly with how deep and serious the story is in between all the absurdist humour. I have. so many emotions over the whole storyline, and especially so many thoughts about the unique form of tragedy that is The Reset.
You save the world but it's not the world anymore. You and your friends survive but you don't know each other anymore- have nothing left of the lives you fought to keep. You 'save' everything but it's still all gone. Everything you knew and loved, gone, and you don't even know what you've lost. You can't even keep the memory of what you had- and that's almost kinder compared to being one of the 3ish people who DO remember... and have to live around everyone else who doesn't, knowing their closest friends look at them and see a stranger, and that they may as well be because they aren't that person they remember being.
And to top it all off, that terrible sacrifice doesn't even end it. you're still left fighting impossible and devastating wars over and over. It's the tragedy of doomed time loops with extra layers of devastating all over the place. The GEARS University students being forced to become soldiers because they're all that's left to protect their homeworld. The horrors of the Shadowscythe virus taking over friends and loved ones you may be forced to put down to save yourself. The town of Falconreach burning over and over because no matter how hard they fight, it's never enough. The people like Sha'rae who sacrifice themselves to try and prevent tyrrany from seizing power, only for it to be utterly useless.
Anyway the brainrot is severe and especially dangerous since I'm coming into exam season and all my hyperfixated brain wants to do is chew on glass about these games.
