#on MONDAY

[sparkles-rule-4eva]

Imma do a "WIP Wednesday" on Monday because since when do I follow rules

Cover for Enchanted in progress!

And some doodles I made today based off a scene from the latest chapter :3

Also, even though it's still not quite as long as I wanted it to be before sharing it, here's the link to the playlist! It has songs for all aspects of the AU, not just the romance, so there are songs just for Amy or just for the boys or other dynamics, but yeah. If anyone has any suggestions, again, feel free to send them to me! 💙🩷

✨Snippet Sunday on a Monday✨

Thanks so much for the tag @tragedybunny !

Here’s a snippet from a chapter FAR, far down the road in Endlessly (I write these chapters so out of order that it’s not even funny)

-

“Firstly, I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to become a vampire. I know what a true vampire is capable of, as do you. It's not just Cazador that's a piece of shit, Astarion...”

“It won't be the same with me, with us.”

“Won't it, my love? What makes us different from any other person who's become a true vampire?”

Astarion made a sour face as he broke eye contact with Tali. He clearly wasn't happy with what the bard had to say, but it seemed that the vampling knew that his lover was right, even if it hurt.

“The anguish of loss is just going to be a fact in the matter of a relationship where one is endless and the other expires. I've read countless stories and poems and sang a myriad of ballads and songs about such fates — they were tragedies, yes, but such is life,” Tali managed as sorrow fell over him heavily, a wilting feeling that grew from his heart and caused awful, stinging tears to flood his eyes. Such was life, truly, and gods did it hurt — but life was nothing if not a tragedy in the end.

“But it doesn’t have to be this way! It’s not fair to either of us when immortality is a conceivable fate — for both of us,” Astarion attested, his eyes large and desperate, and Tali gave him a sullen smile. He very much understood Astarion’s fear of loss, it was painful to think that he'd watch Tali die one day, one way or another, and have to move on with his undead life. But unlike Tali and his lost love, Astarion would have to live with that woeful burden forever.

“Life isn't fair, my sweet love. I will die and you will not, and that is how it will be,” Tali said, choking up slightly as the words fell from his lips, “but our world — and all the countless realms — they hold great magic. All is not lost. Perhaps we can find another way.”

Tali tried in vain to keep a straight face as Astarion laid his head down on the pillow in apparent defeat — at least for the time being — and he locked eyes with the bard as a few tears fell, making a soft pattering upon the fresh linen.

“I hate this,” he said under his breath as Tali wiped at his own eyes.

“I know.”

“I just want us to be endless, little bird.”

Oh Astarion… poor, sweet Astarion…

DONT YOU KNOW THE GREATEST LOVE TAKES THE GREATEST WHILE

Snippet it's now Monday...

Thank you @a-noble-dragon for the tag. This is a special note of thanks for @tyfinn, @characterassassination-at-9am, @beaiola, @jamilas-pen, @flowertrigger, @stargazer56, @legalgal421, and @chelle-68 for leaving comments on Blue Hydrangeas. I tried my best to comment during the Something Blue fest but time is sometimes unkind. (plus I was working my way through reading a long fic). Have a lil bit of the next Seashore installment.

I feel like I'm running terribly late but life is a lot sometimes.

"I can sit with you and Alexis!" David nods. Stevie helps him off stage. David walks backwards with Stevie there to guide him. He smiles at Patrick and blows him a kiss.

"All right. Next up, we have someone brand new to Open Mic Night. Everyone give a warm welcome to Patrick Brewer!" The crowd erupts again in applause.

Patrick puts on his guitar. "Thank you, thank you. I'm new to town, but everyone has been so great, made me feel right at home. I've made a connection to a special someone, and this song goes out to you, David Rose…

Six Sentences Sunday! On Monday! Or Sunday still if you're in Hawaii.

Note to self: Do not try to write and do a WIP post on Tumblr in the same night. It won't happen. (Sigh.)

Thank you @ivelovedhimthroughworse, @katmiscellanious, @shrekgogurt, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe, and @rimeswithpurple for the tags today! I'm looking forward to reading/seeing what everyone is working on! Also thank you to everyone who's tagged me since my last Sunday post. Even when I can't post, I love tags - they help make sure I see the posts I really want to see.

I'm still (slowly) plugging away at my "Embrace the Silence" WIP. (Which has a dozen titles, depending on what song I'm listening to at the given moment.) Basics: Canon divergence fic exploring the ramifications of Baz successfully stealing Simon's voice in fifth year.

Side note: I got to see the touring company of Hamilton on Friday, and this whole setup gives me serious A. Burr/A. Ham vibes. But I could be projecting XD

13 whole sentences because it's gotta cover two whole weeks most likely. >.> (Fiona is driving Baz back to Watford. Reluctantly. As is her way.)

“It’s enemy territory,” she said after a minute, ignoring a stop sign, and forgoing the use of her turn signal. “The Mage had you kidnapped by numpties. Morgana only knows what he could try next, and you’re stuck in a bloody masochistic haze of self-destruction.” She wasn't entirely wrong, on either point. The Mage truly does resent my continued existence. It’s his right. The one thing, perhaps, we both agree on. “What if I’m simply keeping my enemies close,” I said, doing my best to stretch my leg out in the cramped backseat. “And how exactly did you determine the Mage’s culpability in my kidnapping?” She shrugged, meeting my eyes briefly in the rearview mirror. “Why wouldn’t it be him. He’s capable of anything.” So are we.

I promise/hope really hard my fic won't be all angst, all the time. Levity happens when I'm able to spend time writing, getting into character, writing daily - things I'm not quite able to do yet. (Probably because I'm on Tumblr and Discord too much. It's basically the trolley problem on a less life-threatening scale.) So for now, it's angst, relatively pure and uncut.

Tags under the cut!

It's no longer Sunday, so consider these friendly shout-outs and hellos and what-not! @fatalfangirl @prettygoododds @hushed-chorus @brilla-brilla-estrellita @youarenevertooold @alleycat0306 @anxious-m3ss @ileadacharmedlife @whatevertheweather @nightimedreamersworld @cutestkilla @raenestee @aristocratic-otter @supercutedinosaurs @thewholelemon @ebbpettier @artsyunderstudy @ic3-que3n

HAPPY MIKU DAY EVERYPONY!!!!

[reasoningdaily]

Hopefully, Vlad will one day understand that he is a guest of the culture and not a fixture – that man has gotten way too comfortable in his position.

The Kendrick Lamar-Drake beef is the most exciting moment in music right now: On Saturday, K. Dot once again dragged Drake for utter filth with his latest diss track “Not Like Us.”

The battle has led to a nonstop flow of social media commentary, including by culture vulture DJ Vlad, who was better off keeping his opinion to himself.

On “Not Like Us” – which is an absolute club banger – Kendrick calls Drizzy a pedophile and an outsider to Black culture. “You run to Atlanta when you need a few dollars/No, you not a colleague, you f**kin’ colonizer,” Kendrick ruthlessly rapped.

Though DJ Mustard’s production was impeccable on “Not Like Us,” DJ Vlad, a white man who has profited from Black culture for years, chimed in to give his unwanted view on it. “Kendrick’s ‘Not Like Us’ needed a better mix. It takes away from the song,” he wrote on X.

Many responded to Vlad’s asinine tweet, including author and Princeton University professor Morgan Jerkins. “You are WHITE. This is a BLACK FOLK AFFAIR,” she wrote in a reply that went viral on X.

It took no time for DJ Vlad to channel his inner Karen and tag Jerkins’ university to snitch on her for hurting his feelings. “Wait, so a professor at @Princeton is telling me that a white person shouldn’t be allowed to voice their opinion about Hip-Hop? Is that how you interact with your students,” Vlad wrote.

Jerkins quickly responded: “What I’m saying is that you put your opinion in a discussion that’s not needed. This conversation is and should center Black people, not you.”

Of course, Vlad refused to take the hint or the L: He threatened to contact Jerkins’ place of employment.

“Don’t try to change your words now. I’ll be reaching out to @princeton about this on Monday.” Jerkins – who is the niece of music titan Rodney Jerkins –clarified that her semester was over and that her contract had been completed, prompting Vlad to say his complaint would be placed on “her permanent record” and that Jerkins had a “typical victim mentality.”

Vlad was immediately called out for threatening a Black woman for no reason other than telling him to mind his business. Ultimately, the Kendrick-Drake feud has sparked a larger conversation on Black culture and who authentically represents it.

On Monday, Vlad—who created VladTV to use Hip-Hop and Black culture to line his pockets for almost two decades—tried to backtrack. “I never had any intention of filing a complaint to Princeton for former professor Morgan Jerkins saying that white people aren’t allowed to comment on Kendrick Lamar’s music,” he wrote on X.

“She trolled me and I trolled back. At the end of the day, it created an interesting discussion about race relations in America. I will be discussing it further in my future interviews.” Obviously, this is a lie as he tagged Princeton in his replies to Jerkins.

Also, he has continuously misconstrued her words to make himself look like the victim—in typical Karen fashion. It’s not shocking for him to center himself in this complex topic in order to stay relevant, but going after a Black woman who rightfully embarrassed you is just embarrassing.

Hopefully, Vlad will one day understand that he is a guest of the culture and not a fixture – that man has gotten way too comfortable in his position.

Today on "Everything Happens So Much":

After an exhausting 6 day work week, I sat down to relax with some old episodes of Taskmaster UK.

And realized that I've been living in my apartment for almost two years.

And I signed a two year lease.

And I realized this at 11 pm on a Saturday.

If you're still accepting NSFW OC asks could we get 3, 5, 20, and 24 with Blizzard? pretty please with cherries on top? 💙❄️

Hi Deeja!!! I could talk about Blizzard all day every day, so best believe I’m still accepting 🥰💙❄️ Thank you so much for sending these in!

NSFW OC questions - It’s going down below the cut, MINORS DNI!!!

Quickies vs Planned sex—thoughts?

- Blizzard is spontaneous, and an attention whore when it comes to his S/O. So he will happily engage in a quickie because for him that means his S/O wanted him so badly they couldn’t wait. That would make him feel so good. He’d be on cloud 9.

Do they have any really out-of-left-field kinks/fantasies? Maybe even something that they wouldn’t necessarily want to act on but have still thought about?

- It would surprise most of his partners to know that he has an exhibition kink. It’s the show-off pilot in him. Someone watching him fuck his S/O would do it for him. And his S/O watching him fuck someone else? He would short circuit.

What do they like seeing their partner in when they “dress-up?”

- He loves seeing a femme presenting partner in a sundress. That will have him swooning. And masc presenting partners just need to throw on a tailored tunic, and he’s a happy (thirsty) camper.

A song they would fuck/get fucked to

- Blizz would get distracted by a lot of lyrics, so he’d pick a mostly instrumental piece that had a calm vibe
