#tsc asks

[clockworkbee]

Random and you can TOTALLY say no, but would you consider Alastair for TTPD x TSC? ❤️

I would never say no, esp. if I've read the books and love a character (though I might be late sometimes) <3

You're in luck, btw! I had one of these ready because I posted on Instagram, and apparently forgot to share here, but I didn't know which of these you wanted to see, so I made the other one as well! I hope you like this! 🤍

I've been having a LOT of fun watching TOS (the only Star Trek I know) and reading your comments on fanfiction. I left a couple comments there but maybe you're more active here. I'm curious about your opinion about Shatner's interview on the first movie (in particular where he discusses thyla and K/S shipping). As if, he kind of denies it... but not exactly? The interview itself is easy to find in youtube (I don't think I can link it here). Just curious about your interpretation.

Shatner has since then made it abundantly clear that the idea of Kirk actually being bi is silly and would never ever happen, which contradicts a lot of his more accepting behavior in previous years/decades. At this point he's one step away from asking why people are trying to make Star Trek political in general--because he hasn't watched his own show in at least thirty years and fanon has combined with old age to create a series and character that never existed. Now dudebros are clinging to him as the last bastion against all those weird liberals who keep trying to tell them Star Trek was designed to be politically progressive from day one and it's THEM who are being weird.

i know it's been said a billion times before but neil from jean pov really did clear up the reason why andrew was so grumpy about being attracted to him 'cause neil's objectively annoyingly hot when he's being a cunt (which is all the time)

It's official. I have finished The Sunshine Court. I have so many things to say and yet have no idea what to possibly say. It was perfect. It was absolutely perfect and heartbreaking and gut wrenching and an insane emotional roller coaster and everything i could possibly have asked for from Nora. Like she really truly delivered and i'm so fucking INSANELY grateful she has shared this story with us after all these years. We do not deserve her.

Jeremy & Jean #8 in that order for respective position

thanks for the suggestion!

[notacluedo]

Need to personally thank all the people I follow who post wrestling content that made me finding this reference possible <3

Breaking my own heart imagining Jeremy's POV of Grayson's attack.

Like, not only is his friend really hurt, but there is clearly more going on here. Jean shoves him away and is frantically putting in a code for the door that's wrong — he doesn't know where or when he is.

He catches up to Jean fully clothed in the shower. His friend, who he has noticed never lingers in the shower and is afraid of the pool, is in the shower scrubbing at his neck.

Because someone bit him. Someone bit Jean in the exact place where he always claws at himself when he's distressed.

live commentary while reading tsc

Why are you so excited for the Seelie Queen? She’s so sleezy to read about that I think I dislike her more than Seb since so much demon blood is his excuse but she doesn’t have an excuse she just.. chose to be bad. And she was shitty to Clary all of Tmi but had sex with her brother behind everyone’s backs while hoping they’d all die in Edom... But I know we got some villain lovers over here so not shaming here! Just curious about the intrigue. I even hate Ash being around her..Yet we’ll probably read about them having sex or planning to have ash as a “weapon” to build up the Ash TWP lore I guess?

Hello, (sorry about my late response, you've probably even forgotten you asked). Thanks for clarifying what you're actually asking, tho! I'll start this by showing the answer in your ask itself (this could be long, idk):

The Seelie Queen is so sleezy to read about. She doesn't have an excuse she just.. chose to be bad. Had sex with our protagonist's brother behind everyone's backs while hoping they'd all die in Edom.

She is by no means among any list of my favorite characters, but her character does interest me immensely. She's one patient, word-twisting, magic bitch, and also the first cool faerie villain character I'd ever read about. Her trickster nature and word games really fascinated me, and I have always been curious about her story. I've wanted to see her perspective (which we could be getting or not), and I've wanted to see her as the main villain (not a side one) ever since TMI.

Now, about why I'm so excited about a story that's supposed to be about her and Sebastian, and I admit, I didn't think about what this story could be (I just didn't have time to wonder 😭) so I never got as far as "reading about them... planning to have Ash as a weapon to build up the Ash TWP lore..." That could be it, tho; a story of them making horrible plans for their wonderful, powerful future in their most desired, terrible world with a baby to make sure of everything and strengthen their united rule! Awesome!

But coming back to your question, I've been curious about how Sebastian even formed that alliance with the Seelie Queen (and no matter the flattery, I never believed either was in love with the other) and what really was it that she saw herself benefiting off of that she supported him. Was it that she could see the potential in his plans of bringing down a part-human race that shouldn't have any power to control her people yet does? Or was it just about an heir symbolizing a strong and scary rule while also getting back at the Unseelie King? Did she plan on betraying Sebastian after she got what she wanted? Or was it all that and more that I'm unable to think of?

These are just some things I've thought of since reading TDA and barely seeing the Seelie Queen make an appearance in other books or stories (TID, TLH, TFTSA, GOTSM, TBC) so the moment I read her name with Sebastian among the ten stories, I was like "finally! Some tea! Something to look forward to that might hold some of the answers I've been waiting for" (or leave me with more questions, lol). So yeah 😅

Thanks for this ask, btw 💗

Hi Brittany! This is Murf1307, from our LJ days, and I just wanted to let you know that the Analyzation/Commentary was the inspiration for a similar project I'm now currently working on in the X-Men fandom, where I'm going through every single appearance from my favorite character, Havok, and analyzing him from a queer perspective. The stuff I learned from you about subtext and analysis has proven to be a huge influence even a decade down the line, lmao, so I wanted to thank you for that.

O.O

That is bonkers, thank you for telling me <3

[catlaila]

my favorite revelation from tsc is that kevin day IS canonically attractive neil just refuses to acknowledge it

[yaynotgaybutbi]

twt aftg famdom: Nora could just release TSC at any moment and then we would all just buy it and start reading it, it's insane

me, who has been here since 2018, has never held or read a LEGAL copy of aftg and lives in eastern europe: yeah...

[itsyouch]

[nexusloaf]

Second: Something tells me that I am gonna deeply regret this.

Red: Hm? Oh c'mon, you're always like this whenever we do something new. Just give it a chance!

Second: Fine, fine.
