Beau needs to invest in a thesaurus and learn some synonyms

Suddenly she looked at us, the perfect one.

...

Suddenly he looked at us, the thinner one

I glanced sideways at the perfect girl

...

I glanced sideways at the beautiful boy

As I examined them, the perfect girl, one of the Cullens, looked up and met my gaze

...

As I examined them, the youngest, one of the Cullens, looked up and met my gaze

her face was ridiculously perfect

...

his face was absurdly handsome

Her perfect face was friendly, open, a slight smile on her full, pink lips

...

His dazzling face was friendly, open, a slight smile on his flawless lips

I looked up to see her smiling a dimpled smile so perfect that I could only stare at her like a fool.

...

I looked up to see him smiling a crooked smile so beautiful that I could only stare at him like an idiot.

She paused, and for a brief moment her perfect face was unexpectedly vulnerable.

...

He paused, and for a brief moment his stunning face was unexpectedly vulnerable.

"You remember?" she asked. She stared at me now, her perfect face very serious.

...

"You remember?" he asked, his angel's face grave.

Also I guess being beautiful is for boys @volturialice ?

MUSES & MOTHERS. send 🌸 for my muse to talk about their mother.

There's a snort, and Cleo takes a long drag of her cigarette right before ashing it to the side and leaning back in her chair. " Ain't much ta' talk about. She's been distant as long as ah've been alive. Me, Eddie, Bri, Pablo...no one ever could really talk to 'er. Got worse after Pa died. We never saw her, never really spoke...well, unless it was her COMPLAININ' 'bout somethin' -- ma' hair's too curly, all Pablo does after school is homework an' video games, Eddie speaks too loud, Bri's too quiet an' jumpy. Nothin' could ever make her ass happy. Not even me bustin' ma' ass off and not havin' a chance ta' have a childhood so ev'ryone else could -- nothin' was ever good enough. "

She stares at the smoke of the cigarette, watching the way it floats into the air, gathering into little clouds, waving around. " ...there was this one time she was actually there, though. Right after Carlton died. She's the one who drove me to the funeral -- hadn't gotten ma' license yet. And it was after the service when we were headin' home, his parents stopped us and started apologizin' and all this shit. They didn't know what kinda person he was 'til Mason went up and started talkin' about it, too. And when they left, Ma turned t' me. Told me ah' did good, talkin' about it. Comin' clean. " She shrugs. " Always thought she'd blame me fer it. But guess not. But she wasn't as supportive when Jane passed on -- reckon she thought that all was just some phase or somethin'. "

" Pa's death fucked up the whole family. But ah' reckon it hit Ma the hardest. " Ignoring the fact that her mother hadn't really wanted anything to do with her in the beginning.

HAPPY SEMPTEMBER FIRST LOOPS GIMME A DRARRY REC🍏🍏🍏🍏 (pathetic draco malfoy always encouraged)

Now is September 3th but HEY, WE ARE FINALLY FREE!!!!

Then Comes a Mist and a Weeping Rain by Faith Wood

Summary:

It always rains for Draco Malfoy. Metaphorically. And literally. Ever since he had accidentally Conjured a cloud. A cloud that's ever so cross.

Listen, it doesn't get more pathetic than Draco being followed by a stormy cloud soaking wet 24/7

Darkest Before the Dawn by dualwieldteacup

Summary:

The last thing Draco wanted was to show up at Harry Potter's door, cursed blind and holding a boxful of his friends Transfigured into snakes, but here he was.

Between breaking the curse, adjusting to life without sight, and teaching his Defence Against the Dark Arts classes, Draco's got his hands full. Being forced to live with Harry Potter might just be the death of him.

This is a story about the bonds of friendship, fairy tale endings, and learning to ask for help (even from Gryffindors).

I love LOVE this story, it doesn't have pathetic Draco but the prose, the way it's written, the forced proximity and how they navigate their situation.... chef kiss.

FULL POWER FORMS & SUPER SAIYAN GRADE FORMS

These forms allow for characters to amplify their physical strength by swelling their ki to expand their muscles mass & height as it greatly increases the physical power of their current form. I categorize these forms as "Partial Full Power" & "100% Full Power" forms.

Now, here are the characters who have used these "Full Power" forms. (If I missed any, let me know.)

ROSHI: 🕶️🐢

Normal • Partial Full Power • 100% Full Power

GARLIC JR (Z Films): 🧄

Normal • Transformed (100% Full Power)

FREEZA: 🧊

BROLY (DBS anime): 🥦🦍

Normal base • Wrathful State [Stage 2] (Full Power base/Humanoid Oozaru) • Normal SSJ • Full Power SSJ (Legendary SSJ)

GAS (DBS manga): ⛽

Normal base • Instincts Released (100% Full Power) • Instincts Controlled (Controlled Full Power) • Burning (Partial Life Reserves) • Zombie (Life Reserves) • Instincts Released Zombie (Life Reserves 100% Full Power)

THE FLAW OF FULL POWER FORMS: 📉

Often times, the Full Power forms are more of a liability than a benefit. Most quickly burn through ki & put strain on the body while giving brute strength at the cost of speed. All which can make the user vulnerable in a life-or-death battle.

In the case of Kale, Broly, & Gas, their increased muscle mass didn't cost them speed. Instead, their Full Power forms caused them to temporarily lose their sanity; something that can put their own life at risk as well as others they may care about.

However, there are characters who have been able to make use of the Full Power forms immediately without losing speed, stamina, or sanity. Examples being SS Rage Trunks, Merged Zamasu, GoD Toppo, SSBE Vegeta, and Jiren (Full Power & Awakened).

EXTRA THOUGHTS:

Certain names of the transformations are just what I call them. Like Kale's Controlled Berserker SSJ, Jiren's Awakened Full Power state, and all of the names for Gas' forms.

Super Saiyan Grade 2 & 3 forms are essentially Roshi's buffer forms repurposed for a Super Saiyan.

I decided to not classify Freeza's "True Golden Freeza" Form as a Full Power Form of Golden Freeza because it appears to be more akin to Super Saiyan Grade 4/Mastered Super Saiyan.

Knowing that Freeza can increase his power by percentages, this would imply the same for other characters who use Full Power forms. Roshi's semi-buff form would possibly be about 70% while his Full Power form is 100%. Super Saiyan Grade 2 may be about 80% or so depending on the character, while Super Saiyan Grade 3 is 100%.

There's a reason you don't see a Full Power SSJ2 or a Full Power SSJ3 used in combat. Most Full Power forms are not stable and would only be good if they can land a hit. And with the stamina drain of SSJ3, a "SSJ3 Grade 3" would be a very pointless form that greatly multiplies the stamina drain.

I didn't include Majin Vegeta as a Full Power form despite it being SSJ2 Vegeta at Full Power. The power Vegeta recieved was not entirely his own & was power beyond his limits granted to him by magic. He was not using a Grade 3 form either, so I did not consider it to be a Full Power form in the same sense as the others on the list.

From what I can tell, Super Saiyan Rage could be some sort of "SSJ2 form of SSJ2." Meaning its a unique form above SSJ3. Before transforming into Super Saiyan Rage, a SSJ2 Trunks bulks up into a "SSJ2 Grade 3." Then, Trunks controls the power, slims down, gains a new aura, gets sharper and longer hair, & temporarily lacks pupils/irises. This is like Kale's Controlled Berserker SSJ form, but seemingly on a higher level. Future Trunks had already gotten his SSJ2 form to be almost as strong as SSJ3, so a "Controlled Full Power SSJ2 form" (SS Rage) would probably put him on a level around or a bit above SSG. (Maybe I should make a post about Super Saiyan Rage in the future. 🤔) On the other hand, Controlled Berserker SSJ Kale is shown to be somewhat below SSG Goku in DBS EP 114 when she & SSJ2 Caulifla fought SSG Goku when he had his gaurd up. So... from what I can tell, Super Saiyan Rage is a transformation of SSJ2 that began as "SSJ2 Grade 3" before Trunks controlled his Full Power & transformed. Thus, I classified Super Saiyan Rage as a Full Power transformation similar to SSBE. (If you disagree & have evidence of some sort, share it with me so I can adjust my thoughts as needed.)

After transforming into SSBE, Vegeta said "This is everything I have, Jiren!" So, I classified Vegeta's SSBE as some sort of improved version of the Full Power form while using SSB. It's basically Vegeta as SSB Grade 3, but slimmed down due to god ki giving him better control of the form, so there is no speed drawback. In a way, it's similar to how Trunks transformed into Super Saiyan Rage. Like Father, like son I suppose.

I wonder if DBS Broly's green haired SSJ form is his SSJ form mixed with the power of his Wrathful State (the Humanoid Oozaru form). With how the Wrathful State [Stage 2] made Broly grow in height and muscle mass, and how the Legendary SSJ form makes Broly turn giant and buff... Maybe his Full Power SSJ form is indeed SSJ combine with a [Stage 2] or a hypothetical [Stage 3] of Broly's Wrathful State power? 🤔

The DBS Manga continuity version of Broly's forms differs from its animated counterpart from what I can tell. DBS manga Broly is more similar to DBS manga Kale. [DBS manga Broly & DBS manga Kale have Base • Super Saiyan • Full Power Super Saiyan.]

I believe Zangya was in a partial Full Power form because she had to power-up against Krillin. When she did, her hair stayed floating upwards during her entire battle with Krillin. Her hair returned to normal only after she defeated him. She clearly had to power-up. But, does Zangya have her own green-skinned transformation like Bojack & Gokua? It's possible. Or perhaps she wasn't able to use a Full Power form like them just yet. We didn't see Bido or Bujin power-up to a Full Power form either. It seems like most of the crew don't have access to that Full Power transformation. So, this powered-up state Zangya used against Krillin could be her "Partial Full Power" if she can transform, or even her current "full power" if she cannot transform a true Full Power form. I currently believe that it is Zangya's "Partial Full Power" form & she hadn't unlocked the Full Power transformation yet.

I disagree with the idea of Krillin using the the Full Power form as a "power-up" like Roshi does because it wouldn't allow him to even touch a stronger opponent due to the buff form's speed reduction. As shown in Resurrection F, the Full Power form still quickly depleted Roshi's stamina & Krillin had to come in to save him. Some ppl say it will make Krillin taller, so it's a good form for him. However, being of short stature is actually an advantage because Krillin is harder to hit and his opponent will underestimate his strength like Piccolo did during the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai, & like how Vegeta & Nappa underestimated Krillin's strength & skill when he fought them. Plus, Krillin being short is not only part of his character appeal, but it is also a reference to Journey To The West.

Since the buff form is pointless for most characters (unless its a controlled Full Power Form), the best goal for the Krillin and the other Earthling fighters would be for them to utilize masterful ki control & performance in their normal state rather than greatly increasing their muscle mass with ki. As displayed by Krillin, Non-Self State is the next level of Earthling "transformation." But, rather than physical, it is a spiritual transformation; a transformation of internal energy. Hopefully Krillin's Non-Self State makes a return in some form & the other Earthling warriors recieve a similar power-up in the future as well. I have my doubts, but fingers crossed. 🤞

(to necro) since we've never heard it yet, what's your life story like?

*discreetly hands the other magos some mallets and a roll of duct tape* psst here take this in case he starts getting particularly nasty

💙: "oh boi here we go..."

🩸: "Don't worry yourselves, I'll keep it short."

🦋: "Please do!"

🩸: "My mother was an aristocrat. She raised since my first breath. However I was born prematurely, leading to some... complications. Most of our species live over 250 years old... but my lifespan? Well, according to my doctors, I was going to live up to 90. Since I got that news, I've been terrified my entire life. My mom didn't really help much to ease my fears, just kept me on a strict diet and stuff in hopes it would keep me alive. I was still her most prized possession, so of course I had to stay alive. I tried looking for spells that could longate my lifespan, but there wasn't any my kind could learn. I lived in constant fear and still do to this day. But I AM MAKING PROGRESS!! I HAVE MORE YEARS ON ME THAN BEFORE! But it's not enough... I NEED MORE!! I NEED TO DESTROY DEATH ITSELF!! SO NO ONE WILL EVER—"

💙: [ ITEM > Duct Tape > Necro ] "Stfu! You no longer have the talking stick!"

🍏: "Man, no wonder you're an asshole! You take from your so-called mother!!!"

[real-time-twilight]

So I was re-listening to an episode of @threebooksoneplot the other day and they were talking about how weird it is that Beau not only names specific actresses in comparison to Carine, but that he compares her to Classic Hollywood actresses. Why not modern actresses?

I agree, given how Beau is fleshed out in the book, it's a little weird. I think it's a missed opportunity to further flesh out and differentiate Beau from Bella.

We know Bella is a bookworm and doesn't watch a lot of TV, but she does have favorite movies and we know that she and Beau and Bella both like Monty Python. However it's much more emphasized with Beau. Likewise Beau has a favorite book (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea) but isn't shown read as much classic lit as Bella, who reads whenever she has spare time.

I think the missed opportunity here is to make Beau a classic film buff. Much in the same way Bella's obsession with romantic heroes from Classic literature informs her attraction to Edward and his old-fashioned charming ways and speech patterns Beau's interest in classic Hollywood could inform has attraction to Edythe's old fashioned beauty with her arched eyebrows and "long" eyes. Perhaps what Meyer is trying to convey is the kind of slender gaze of an old Hollywood actress like Myrna Loy

[night-unfurls-its-splendour]

hi! do you happen to know what the life and death title font is, I've heard it's custom made or something but there must be some similar ones out there

I did find two, which I mentioned in a reblog of my Twilight Font Post

Medula One

And Core Mellow

But these are legitimately the best I could find. I've been meaning to start the hunt again but haven't really had time

[saturn-sends-hugs]

🍊🍏����🍇 for the fruit emoji ask! Feel free to answer whatever is most interesting to you 😊

hihihi thanks for the ask! answers under the cut cause this could get long lol

🍊 Who’s a character you don’t write for that often, but keep meaning to write for more? (They’re so interesting! But maybe you have trouble pinning them down, or keep getting distracted by another blorbo…)

FIVES!!! For the fact that he's pretty much the most important person in Echo's life (or at least was) (sorry bskjdsfk), I really don't write for him often enough. He's usually either just in a memory or a dream where he's warped by Echo's perception. I have a WIP that will let me tap into his character a little more (and even explore how he would interact with the Bad Batch) and I'm very excited to get working on it!! I just.... need to have Slow Down finished first lol.

🍏 Is there something you overuse, whether it’s a certain phrase, trope, or piece of punctuation?

Em dashes. And maybe italics. And like single sentence "revelation" paragraphs or whatever for dramatic effect lol. (and outside of fic writing I use "lol" too much like gIRL but it's just my default "don't take this too seriously" thing and I almost used it again right there) (I blame my best friend) (literally never used it before her and now I can never go back aghhhhhh)

I definitely use the trope of like "oh fuck, they're hurt" a lot, but personally I will never get tired of that so it doesn't count as overusing. totally.

🍐 Is there anything in canon that you absolutely hate and love to fix in fics? A wrong choice made, a fuck-up in characterization, a misunderstanding never cleared up, a conversation never shown onscreen, etc…

Characters not giving two shits about a traumatizing event or something. Like, they'll have the characters witness the literal death of their established best friend and then WALK AWAY. And they NEVER MENTION IT AGAIN RAHHHHHKJDGJBSGD im totally over the citadel arc as we can all tell. and tech's death. and that scene where Rex mentions Fives and they just kEEP WALKING WTFFFF

Anyway yeah, that's basically the reason I got into writing fanfic. I didn't like the lack of detail or time spent focusing on different events and I wanted to give the characters some time to actually work through things.

🍇 Is there a particular scene/episode/book/etc that you want to just write a million fics about, over and over? Which one?

Crosshair putting his hand on Echo's shoulder after previously having gotten punched in the face for saying "I would've left him for dead" like GIRLLLLLLL be so fucking fr rn. And like I'll never write a fic based solely on that scene, but that moment and what it means has seeped into every single fic I write with the two of them because they just work together so well its insane.

And other than that, most times it's scenes that don't happen that I end up writing about. For example, Echo learning about Fives' death or the time between TCW and TBB where Echo bonds w/ the batch and we just??? don't get to see it???? yeah so I'll never stop writing abt all that I think

Anyway, sorry this was kinda long but thanks so much for the ask!!!

I want to see the Barbie movie and wow! She's just like me for real! I AM an Irrepressible Thoughts Of Death Barbie (or an Irrepressible Thoughts Of Death Wally Darling, I guess) in real life actually. #🍏👁️🏠

[threebooksoneplot]

In which G and Shannon’s guest of the week, Beth, has an MFA in writing and a lot of opinions on Twilight/Life and Death Chapters 14 and Midnight Sun Chapter 18! It’s time to bust out your handcuffs AND thinking caps for this scandalous yet studious episode about the evolution of Stephenie Meyer’s writing, Twilight as a BDSM allegory, Beau’s fursona, and Edythe’s appreciation for Cambodian architecture.

Thanks again to @bettsfic for joining us for this episode! 🍎🍏

Prompts

Here to share a few special prompts that were submitted to AO3 (in case any of them inspire you 😌)

peach 🍑

drarry

that scene in cmbyn...you know the one

Peachy Bum 🍑

Harry, Blaise, Seamus

humor, crack treated seriously, rare pairings

A spurned admirer has jinxed him. Now he has a peachy 🍑 bum and/or a banana 🍌 🍆

characters are just suggestions

Berries 🍓

Snarry

Hanahaki Disease, Angst with a happy ending, hurt/comfort, mutual pining

A twist on hanahaki disease; the victim dies when the flowers in their lungs wither and produce a berry (of your choice).

Reverse Persephone Snarry

Snarry

Pomegranate

Mythology AU

Reverse Hades/Persephone. Harry, god of spring, is fed up with his life/reputation, and finds himself drawn to the bitter god of darkness, Severus. As the two misfits continue to cross paths, Harry hatches a plan: he can use his plant magic (and the traditional pomegranate seeds) to ensnare Severus and keep him imprisoned in his beautiful garden.

Yew Berry

Snape/Voldemort

Everything about the yew berry is designed to draw you in. The colour; a brilliant eye catching red. The texture; smooth and firm. The taste; the sweetest nectar. The promise of sustenance: of something good, something better.

The initial rush is euphoric and thrilling.

Left untreated, it leads to death.

Fig

Drarry

Symbolism: prosperity, sexuality, and safety. A fig tree is slow growing and requires constant care and attention – just like a budding relationship.

Drapple 🍏

Draco/Apple

Serious or crack, I think any fruit festival needs this classic.

Candied Pineapple 🍍

Draco/Slughorn

As wholesome or morally questionable as you want. Could be an exchange of favours, a bribe, Draco trying to rebuild his reputation among high wizarding society, Draco catching feelings for his new father figure, something to do with Potions teaching...

Snarry Fruit Smut

Snarry

Harry/Snape + fruit of your choice.

Peaches, plums, etc...any fruit, must be involved in the smut.
