Introducing the Rajaijah plant, along with everyone's complicated feelings surrounding it. From my story The House of Glass. Follows on directly from this part here!

I always wondered what the source of Rajaijah juice, or madness poison, was. @aboardthescheherazade and @lady-of-lyon both helped out a lot with research on a discord server!

For such a key plot device in two books there wasn't much background to it; all we are told is the effects of the poison are permanent (terrifying) and it came from India (very mundane, a lot of plants come from India.). The original French name suggests it's a plant extract.

I decided to base the design of the plant off of datura. I've read some pretty horrifying recollections of datura trips, and these trips can last for days. I absolutely do not recommend trying datura, the dosage is difficult to get consistent and it's very likely to kill or cause permanent injury - but it's a perfect candidate to base the Rajaijah plant off of!

I decided to make it smaller for that whimsical fairy like appearance. Datura flowers are beautiful, but I simplified the flowers to make it easier to draw in a comic or for animation!

imladris lads :D it started off as a few doodles of gildor bc of a great prompt i received from an anon a few weeks ago, and then spiralled into something else entirely bc i havent really taken the time to explore much of anything imladris-related? i really like the lindir-is-maglor concept so heres my take on how it couldve happened haha

as always, credit to Cartoon Network for the sparkly pink BG

thanks so much for the ask!! here's my take on gildor :DD i really like the way anon asked the question and it was what inspired me to draw finrod in the mix too strangely enough?? the vibes are similar 🤭

Would it be good or bad if the writers changed who Moonpaw's parents were before the book gets released? (Y'know that's assuming they'd ever do that)

It would be nothing but a good thing!

The authors are careless and don't think through the implications of the random ships they seem to pick (besides an uncomfortable pattern where they seem to be VERY good at torpedoing popular queer ships with laser precision). But they should.

Warrior Cats is a series about family, and ASC was apparently supposed to be a series about Nightheart having issues with inheriting the legacy of Firestar... but half of the Clan is descended from Firestar. Nothing about Nightheart is special, even by the established logic of the series. This is a plot hole.

It's inconsistent and makes the drama in the series worse. The readers are just supposed to accept whatever the writers want to be relevant, and forget it in the next book. WE remember that Thriftear and Bayshine are first cousins. The authors don't. That's bad storytelling.

If they just changed the parents to Fernstripe and Shellfur, it would immediately be better with no downsides. We'd get some payoff for a developing background relationship, which would be nice! Simple as that.

other people after seeing deadpool & wolverine: *replaying the honda odyssey scene in their head, perhaps adding a little smut, as a treat* (the correct way)

me after seeing deadpool & wolverine: *shifting plot points just a liiiiittle to the left to unlock Themes and Parallels without completely changing the movie* (objectively the worst way, i'm not sleeping)

max has an oversteer preference but he himself wants to perform in whatever car he is given.

I mean, I just drive the car I get to the fastest way possible. I'm not there to tell the guys to give me more front end, because that's how I like it. I'll just say ‘design me the fastest car, and I'll drive around that.’ Every single year it's just different, every car drives a little bit different.

rbr just designs the car to be the fastest possible and max adapts to it. it's still the same process, they are trying to come up with solutions to make the driveability better for both drivers, because even if max was still getting good results after miami, he wasn't comfortable with the car and was already complaining about understeer way before the summer break. if the situation now is that checo is a bit more confident, so be it, max has enough talent to overcome that. one bad quali result in checo's best track ain't gonna change that.

As a driver, it doesn’t matter if you have an understeering car, oversteery car, slippery surface, grippy surface, you constantly adjust your driving style to that. If you just say ‘this is my driving style’, this is how it’s going to be, you will not be quick. I think you learn in your whole racing career from go-karting to F3 to whatever, every weekend the car behaves a bit differently. So you always have to adjust to it. It’s every weekend, constantly you’re adjusting your driving style a little bit to make sure that the car is working well. And of course you try to set the car to your liking but it will never be fully to your liking. You always have to fine-tune. Or at least you try it. And at the end that’s what makes a driver fast.

and this ain't me trying to defend red bull or checo. this is just me trying to not sound like a lecfosi when they used to claim ferrari fucked up the car's design by focusing development on carlos sainz 😭

Rough idea but- Valerie has hunted Phantom down into the cemetery, planning to blast him for good then and there. She can't remember why she's so angry, more than she ever had, but she finally caught him. Phantom back is to the grave, as ectoplasm leaks from him, having been hit by Valerie's blasts. He'd been trying to plead with her all night. This was his final chance to get her to listen. She has a blaster pointed to him, ready to pull the trigger. When Phantom tells her to wait- Saying she can't shoot him on someone's grave! That's just asking for someone to haunt her. She at first rebuts that she knows ghosts are only made by person's consciousness being imprinted on ectoplasm. Which Phantom reinstates what do you think is going to happen once she spills his ectoplasm everywhere. Valerie shoves phantom off the grave, blaster still pointed towards him as she wipes off the grave stone. "IF you dare come back Valerie Gray, I'll-"

Valerie freezes as she takes in what the tombstone says. They share a name.. and a birthday.. this can't. "I've been trying to tell you...." Phantom sits up, white ring around his waist. Valerie stands back up, fury back in her eyes. "This is a trick! I'm-" White rings reveal Phantoms true form, the boy she adored. Danny spoke with teary eyes, ectoplasm spill from his face and gut. He spoke in a cracked voice, "I wish it was, Val.."

Okay rough cut of the scene BUT WHAT IF Valerie died as red huntress and come back as a ghost. She doesn't remember Danny having told her his identity, but just feels RAGE. Only to have her memories come back in horrifying revelation, that she died. The one person Danny failed to protect.. and it killing him.. physically and figuratively. Only reason he's trying to get sense into her, instead of letting her destroy him.. is because they have bigger issues-and he knows Valerie wouldn't want to go this far. Valerie's dad has taken over as Red hunter and he's teamed up with the Fentons- and got them arrested after the reveal that Vlad was a ghost. The Fentons wanted to save Vlad, realizing there is error in their findings. Val's Dad did not agree and now he's works like a rogue agent of the GIW. He is distraught at his daughter's death and is hellbent on eradicating ghosts in her honor. Right as the reveal happen that Valerie realizes she died, is when she finds out what happen to her father. He has his gun raised at them, right there in the cemetery. Asks Valerie to forgive him, but he "knows" this isn't his daughter. Danny pushes Valerie out of the way. He gets hit again and screams out in pain. Valerie wastes no time in hauling her and Danny out of there. So much on her mind as she leaves with only a short glance back at her father.
