Fic Rec Tag

Rules: Recommend us 3 of YOUR fics: 1 that is “most popular” and 2 that are “hidden gems!” Then tag some folks.

Tagged by @wordspin-shares

Alright - so again, this will probably be one of the saddest responses you'll get for this as I only have 3 posted works (and one of them is a 500 word drabble). My long chapter fics are both for The Stand, and written because its a small fandom. There was nothing featuring Glen as a main character, so guess I'm writing now. (All stories are posted to AO3.)

Arguably* Most Popular: Just Keep Diving Down.

Fandom: The Stand

WIP / 31 out of 36 / 155,777 words

Hits: 454 / Kudos: 10 / Comments: 60

Pairings: Glen Bateman/OC, Harold Lauder/OC, Nick Andros/OC, Stu Redman/Fran Goldsmith, (some scenes of Lloyd Henreid/OC & Lloyd Henreid/Randall Flagg)

Warnings: Major Character Death / Violence / Language / Drug Use / Some Smut (marked in chapter to avoid if not wanted) / referenced sexual assult.

Second story in a Two Story Series. This is picking up where Spiral left off. While Spiral was an OC insert of canon, this is an original storyline with an original setting and a fair amount of original characters. I basically just picked my favorite characters up from canon, and brought them to a world I made up.

*While it's stats look better, they are deceiving. The comments are only me and @anths-girl going back and forth 😂. It has an extra two kudos, but Diving's are almost all guest accounts. Hense the arguable.

Gem (by default): Something Like a Spiral

Fandom: the Stand

Complete Fic / 33 Chapters / 101,101 words

Hits: 390 / Kudos: 8 / Comments: 13

Pairings: Glen Bateman/OC, Stu Redman/Fran Goldsmith, (references to Lloyd Henreid/Randall Flagg)

Warnings: Violence / Language / Drug Use / Some Smut (marked in chapter to avoid if not wanted) / referenced sexual assult.

*OC insert story to the canon storyline.

Hayden wakes up in a world she doesn't remember, along with just about everything else in her life. With the Captain Trips virus already wiping out ~99.9% of the worlds population, she is left to figure out who she was, who she is, and where she stands in this post apocalyptic world.

Drabble: Even in Death

Fandom: Stranger Things

This was a drabble written for the Hellfire Haunts Halloween prompt list. It's only a 500 word Gen fic based on the prompt of Eddie being a ghost.

Tagging: @asirensrage, @anniesocsandgeneralstore, @chickensarentcheap, @mrsmungus, @themaradaniels

I think, perhaps one of the funniest things to come from EPIC popularising the Odyssey is that now a ton of people think Poseidon wanted to kill Odysseus.

In the Odyssey, Poseidon has no intention of killing Odysseus. In fact, part of the whole reason Zeus lets Poseidon do whatever he wants even though he thinks Odysseus is rad and should get to kiss his wife is explicitly because Poseidon had no intentions of killing Odysseus. Poseidon wanted to pay back the suffering/inconvenience blinding Polyphemus would have caused. It's a really abstract thing tbh. How do you pay back someone permanently disabling your son? Poseidon's solution was just to amputate Odysseus from his other half; i.e. Penelope. The end game was never murder, it was always an endurance race.

(Od. Book 1: Zeus reassuring Athena that he is not, in fact, a part of Odysseus Hater-Nation. Trans. Robert Fagles)

Also, for those wondering if there's any sort of in text reason for why Poseidon wasn't around in God Games - at the time in the Odyssey when Athena petitions Zeus to let Odysseus leave Calypso's island, Poseidon was -checks notes- on vacation in Ethiopia. Yep. He left to Ethiopia for a festival and thusly was very much absent for Athena's whole "please let Ody go? Please? 🥺" request.

(Od. Book 1: While Odysseus was suffering, Poseidon went to party in the east)

I am begging y'all to read the Odyssey. It's a comedy for everyone except Odysseus and Penelope who are, in fact, suffering 24/7 365.

#ginger rambles #ginger chats about greek myths #Sorry for the quality of the quotes but I'm too tired to google a pdf vers of the Odyssey and then edit those so y'all are getting #my crunchy pictures from one of my physical copies of the book lol #it's reiterated multiple times that Poseidon doesn't want Odysseus dead too #he is literally just driving him mad on the ocean because that's what Odysseus condemned Polyphemus to by blinding him #Also there's no good way to mention this but the Odyssey starts #by Zeus lamenting how mortals blame all their troubles and miseries on the gods when that's just not fair #because the gods go out of their way to warn the mortals that will be saddled with the most wretched fates #and they ignore the gods and do whatever they want anyway LMFAO #It's a really smart way to tie in the whole Orestes plot that would have wrapped up in between Odysseus getting stranded on Ogygia #and Odysseus getting off of Ogygia #epic the musical #epic the wisdom saga #zeus #athena #odysseus #poseidon #the odyssey

shoutout to the valve fan that found the genie lamp. you a real one

#liz blogs #valve #team fortress 2 #tf2 #half life #half life 3 #what did i say. what did i fucking say.#once again the impossible becomes commonplace #valve exists as a company to walk into the gaming industry. slap their dicks on the table. and yell THIS IS HOW ITS DONE #and the gaming industry has never been in a more sorry state than it is now. maybe second only to the 80s i think. something something ET #in b4 its called Half Life Xen as all the files reference ''hlx''. hl3 fakeout. but its another half life game.#half life 3 has been ''made'' multiple times in various states but its never been up to standards. whatever this project is though sounds l #like its very far in development. maybe they didnt give up this time #ive never been closer in my life to actually saying half life 3 confirmed. its not confirmed but its looking really good for once #crazy year to be a valve fan i'll tell you what #its only the actual objective most anticipated game of all time. no biggie #edit - added a link for the comic news for those who dont know. and the bot bans havent been announced in one place anywhere #but you can literally just look it up on youtube or twitter. valve has been mass-banning bots for the last month. fixtf2 worked

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter.

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge.

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game.

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely).

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

#DPxDC #Kizzer55555 ideas #Danny makes a card game to save the world.#Technically he worded the ritual so that they had to ‘beat’ him as those are the most powerful barriers and most reliable.#keys can just get lost or stolen (like the one to Pariah’s Coffin)#A riddle would be useless once someone figured out the answer. Like how no one takes the sphynx seriously anymore.#(Sorry Tuck. But it’s true).#And there is NO WAY Danny is just leaving a hole open for anyone to pass through. No thank you!#So…beating him. But it’s not like Danny wanted to fight so…he edited the ritual a TINY bit. Card games are good. Much less painful too.#Danny Tucker and Sam made the most complicated card game they could imagine.#It’s based on their strategies for fighting ghosts. Capturing them in thermoses. And MUCH based on a on field battle strategy.#It often requires spontaneous thinking on the spot. So Danny? In his ELEMNT. It doubles as practice for his actual ghost battles too.#They had SO much fun making this.#Sam added an entire series of plant cards that act as traps and healing ointments and duds that just take up the field.#Tucker added legitimate hyroglyphics combined with Latin as well as English and ghost speak.#Yes. You actually have to speak that language to play. With proper pronunciation. (Amity Parker’s think the three are talking gibberish.)#I headcanon Sam and Tucker are fluent in Ghost.#Constantine WILL figure this game out SO HELP HIM!#Some of the cards also have combinations related to constellations either in name or placement on the board.#By the way the board is based on a Hexagonal summoning circle with Rhunes along the edges #And the placement of the cards on the board and on what rhune MATTERS.#Also the cards move disintegrate and have certain abilities. Think of Harry Potter Wizard Chess.#But they are normal when Danny plays at school. This is just for ✨effect✨ Against invaders.#Danny faces multiple opponents. He also halts alien invasions.#While Danny COULD stop crime on earth he’s not sure how to fight a normal human and hold back so he sticks to ghosts.#The Justice league are going crazy trying to figure out who this entity is and after deep research are convinced this is some sort of #Ancient being who has protected earth for millenia. They have paintings on ruins and everything.#Danny is not aware they think this.#Raven starts praying to Danny as if he is a god and wrangles the other Teen Titans into doing so as well. Danny is still unaware of this.#Danny is not a King or an ancient. Just a very VERY strong ghost.

#festivals is for exposure #once again: festival is for exposure!!!!#for the people that know him only from the band its like oh its him? let me check him out #for the indie ppl that he wants to appeal to its like: oh isnt this from [band]? let me check this dude's redemption of it #why must it be said every time!!!!!#same thing can be said even for tour #have we not seen the clip go viral on the first time he said 505?#and people will be buying tickets to hear a 1d song live out of nostalgia even if they dont know much of louis' own stuff #and come out of there thinking hm i actually enjoyed his as well #thats the way it goes #it doesnt say anything about his solo abilities and he's not selling himself short #there will always be people that are there not fully entirely for all of his songs either #it happens to mainstream artists and their big hits #the way this fandom want to complain about everythinggggggg #edit: sorry this isnt direct shade #i just have to see it multiple times everywhere because i update dailytomlinson 💀#last one add because AJSKAK truly irates me #stop trying to make this as some hard task for him that he's only doing it because he's not as big or something #i promise you he doesnt need you fuming over this my god #i know its mostly pettiness disguised as a real constructive opinion over how louis manages his career or whatever #but my god. arent we tired of focusing on the stupidest things? end rant

vampire and werewolf sitting in a tree

time trav e l i n g

first comes. trying to kill eachother then comes... learning you're his dead ex-lover then comes marriage!

(you can buy the book this scene is from for $15 it's really good. it's the fan favorite of the series!)

#comics #idk I thought this scene might make sense on its own #I thought about making it like all tall but 8 pages is a lot I think to make tall...........#it's like a lot to scroll past #but I think this looks cute enough and gives enough of a vibe at a glance that you can tell if you wanna click on it #sorry I'm trying to think of as many ways as I possibly can to advertise this book #there are so so so many of them #you gotta help me man #anyways #I really liked this scene #fun fact it was my FIRST episode with my new editr #and my first editor made me really anxious #kept asking me to change stuff and giving notes that made no sense #she also kept micing up their names and she wouldnt reply to me for weeks even when I was begging for edits on something #anyways so I was super nervous #esp cause its the first gay episode so I was like well. let's. see how chill she is #and she was so nice...#you guys she was absolutely amazing #she was such a delight to work with and so incredible #her notes were top notch every time #and she was always so quick to respong #while also very much keeping her work boundaries and hours clear #god shes so amazing I'm never gonna forgive webtoon for firing her #she deserves the fucking world. I multiple times told her and webtoon that she changed my entire experience there and made it worth it #and then she gets fired. god. fuck them. ugh. anyways.#short comic #time and time again #webtoon #comic book #my art

the juppet !! i just realised he is jerma posing i swear that was unintentional...... i spent so long digging thru muppet concept art and looking at old puppet designs just to end up doing a rly simple drawing but. i love joehills!! i have only been watching them for like 4 years but their videos r so special to me :3

#i would love to do a more complex drawing inspired by muppet concept art at some point... just wanted to give myself a bit of a break #i've been spending So much time on these drawings every day n it's not really sustainable for me to be spending multiple hours every day #when i have so much work i should be doing...... but i rly enjoyed this silly little muppet even if it's v simple for my standards #tbh i'm surprised i even made it this far into the challenge.. we're like two thirds in ?!!?!#i've only ever completed an art challenge once and that was inktober in 2018... and those were SIMPLE drawings #my standards are a lot higher than they were 6 years ago... but also there's extra pressure because i'm posting these #and i know i don't Have to post them but. it's a way of keeping myself accountable because i am terrible at that without outside motivation #omg why do i always ramble So much in tags this is ridiculous i'm so sorry if anyone actually reads these....#anyways i rly hope my people drawing skills r improving..#i doubt there will be noticable difference but i hope i feel at least a little more confident by the end of this #hermitaday #horsemeatluvr does hermitaday #horsemeat gallery #joehills #joehills fanart #joe hills #joe hills fanart #hermitcraft #traditional art #unedited sketchbook drawings 4 the win (i've given up on scanning n editing these or even taking them in proper lighting... too much effort)#i'm just a little guy

Ifrit’s operator record is very sweet, and I love it building on her relationship with Eyja and Silence, but there’s one thing that’s always been very funny to me about it:

It centres around Ifrit working as the team captain while Silence is away, and she’s leading a squad with what is clearly supposed to be the Rhodes Island Teens with Eyja and Beeswax but also. Mint is there? Mint is not a teenager. She graduated from the same college Skyfire is from. She’s an accredited geologist. She’s the oldest person there.

I think the writer just forgot how old Mint is supposed to be because she looks really young but it really comes off like this:

#arknights #mint #ifrit #eyjafjalla #doodles #I was gonna put beeswax there but I ran out of room. sorry beeswax heads #edit: just because multiple ppl have mentioned it #I know eyja also has a degree but she’s a child progidy #mint isn’t #she’s just short

It shouldn't need to be said but I'm seeing a lot of vitriol towards Ashton about their actions and I have to say I don't agree with them.

At the clock tower Fearne brought up the shard, stated that in her opinion Ashton should take the shard because she didn't want it. Ashton decided then as a result they'd take it, but because it was an extreme risk made very aware to them all they knew the other Hells wouldn't allow them to go through with it. Ashton asked Fearne if she was okay with both of them going together alone with the plan, reiterating that they didn't want to put this on Fearne, that if they died Fearne would not be to blame, and that they have no intention of dying, and Fearne said yes.

Fearne having second thoughts at the Ziggurat was just worry, because she cares deeply for Ashton, Ashton kissing her was not manipulation either; it was letting go of fear, having no regret with the person they also care deeply for and taking the risk. And yeah, it was frightening, 10 rounds of perpetual fiery near-death situations and one actual death situation; Laura is fuming, Ashley cannot look, Liam is playing Mad World on loop in his mind, even Matt is completely on edge, but they survived. Accusations that Ashton manipulated Fearne to selfishly take the shard seem to misinterpret the shard saga as well as Fearne and Ashton's characters, they will get a very intense amount of chastising for sure, but it will be out of love, out of the fear that they were going to lose them, not because they thought Ash was manipulative.
