#we do that with the long embrace

[burningthegallows]

tell us about the lltg fic! very curious and interested we need more fic in this fandom

seriously! im so parched for fic! it’s been so long since I’ve seen a het couple I care about. coming out the other side to see 17 fics on ao3… smh. I’m not the best writer and I don’t love doing it—but sometimes you just gotta write the fic if you wanna read it.

anyway, i love the persuasion trope of lovers parted and then reunited and stronger for it. the bitterness is very bitter until suddenly it’s all sweet. but between autumn ballad (which i had a very mixed reaction to) and lltg, i realized why the chinese form of this trope always irks me so much: all the healing happens off screen.

I would love to watch 5 years of pining. two lovers separated but trying to find a way back to one another?? Healing and hurting and forgiving and the relapsing on your forgiveness and hating yourself for willing to take him back. Yeah, I love a breakup/makeup story.

Especially when, at the end, it feels like there’s something to be salvaged from the wreckage of the hurt.

Genuinely, I think forgiveness is one of the more complicated and arduous mental odysseys, but I also think that just means we need more stories that explore the concept.

see I need ghost clothes to have properties more or less like regular clothes because wearing someone else’s jacket or shirt is one of the most important expressions of affection in existence and yes basically what I’m saying is i wanna see charles give edwin his jacket for one reason or another and see edwin get all flustered and giddy about it

Me: My mind at least once a day for the past six months: You know nothing makes it explicitly impossible for Wheel of Time and Sailor Moon to take place in the same universe

[nostalgia-tblr]

I watched Avengers: Age of Ultron (apart from I skipped some overly long action sequences) and I am not sure so can someone tell me whether or not Tony Stark was the baddy in that film? Because about halfway through I was sure he was but then it was maybe just an evil robot after all and I am confused because either this film was surprisingly subversive or it was about robots hitting each other.

Jiaoqiu is mine! Praise the fluffy tail!!

He in fact decided to come very early, so I still have a decently realistic shot at Feixiao and Moze.

Mark my words, next patch we're bringing the polycule together.

ok ive had enough of queering judaism. can we start judaizing queerness now. or something

[arcaneyouth]

(in regards to my last post but now its not about fictional blorbo) there is a larger discussion to be had about how queer and disabled themes have so many overlaps. how we relate to the same coding in the same way. and how (from my knowledge and perspective), these themes in fiction are not given the same weight in discussions about them. sometimes i see a character that is even directly for disabled people, ill people, people who cannot be at peak health and how we're treated by society for that, and i have seen these characters being pointed at by fandom like, oh shit that's really queer coded. and. i mean yeah! you're right! there is an overlap between us and it's really severe! reading that character as queer isn't wrong! you are still looking at the themes of disability right? you are still acknowledging them... right? you're not... you're not taking an ill/disabled character and reading all of the themes as queer ones exclusively just because that overlap happens to exist.... right??????

I'm absolutely determined to pay attention to all the seasonal changes and embrace them as much as possible this year and to try and romanaticise it. we've tried to do the same for the last couple of years too but I think we're getting better at it over time

OC Meme Tag Game

thank you for the tag dear @dolceaspidenera <3 You did indeed tag me in this an Actual Age Ago and I probably should have just let this post die a dignified death, but nope I'm STILL gonna do it anyway because it's been sitting in my drafts waiting for me to finish it!!!

aune

Nicknames:

In order acquired (also included aliases):

The Vessel by her mother, as well as Aune's last master

The Wrath of the Dark Dancer, or just the Wrath, by some of her fellow Eilistraeeans

Moonbeam by Imyrr, her late lover

Silverhair by Astarion earlier on, used mostly in a derogatory manner

Nightingale, dancer, little light by Astarion

Karlach tries to get Twinkletoes going but the death glare that Aune leveled at her nipped that in the bud

Pronouns: she/her (agender!!!)

Star sign: UNDECIDED I unfortunately know far too much about astrology to be able to answer this succinctly lol

Height: 6'

Orientation: bi/pan (with a preference for femmes or non-binary people); demisexual, polyamorous

Race: half-Drow (mom is a Drow, dad is half-Moon Elf)

Romancing: Astarion

Favourite fruit: Elderberries

Favourite season: Fall (specifically the transitional time between fall and winter)

Favourite flower: Ghost pipe

Favourite scent: Beeswax, dusty tomes, wet soil, anything frequently burned in holy places (temple incense, frankincense, rosemary, sweetgrass, etc.)

Coffee, tea or hot chocolate: Tea

Average sleep hours: 5-6

Dogs or cats: She likes both but has a preference for cats, as elven cats, feystags, silver tabbies, and any cat with silver eyes have a connection to Eilistraee. She's used to spending a lot of time around them as they populated the shrine/temple where Aune used to live.

Amount of blankets: One; perfectly used to having none

Random fact: Aune fought in the War of the Silver Marches, where Drizzt Do'Urden was present and served as a commander on the same side. She knows about Astarion's fixation with him, but never thought to mention the aforementioned fact because it's not like she directly interacted with Drizzt at any point. It eventually comes up naturally in conversation, where she mentions it rather nonchalantly and Astarion is flabbergasted, jealous, and incredibly appalled that she didn't think it was worth telling him much earlier on.

I love seeing other people talk about their OCs so I'm tagging @anderstrevelyan @justabiteofspite @bhaalsdeepbat @dragon--sage

@witch-from-a-block-of-flats @andrigyn @birb--birb @my-dumb-obsessions

but some of you may have very well done this tag back when it was actually circulating, which in that case, my bad just ignore me 😅

[shalom-iamcominghome]

lol just went in the rookie tag and everyone is going feral and saying they hate the show and this is the worst season and they hope it gets cancelled because tim and lucy broke up and meanwhile i'm over here just EATING THIS SHIT UP. there's literally no way they're not an endgame couple so when that break up happened i was like "GOOD, it was getting a little too chummy around here."

[eisthenameofme]

embracing the vampire autism i have going on apparently means combing through 500 vtm books and making notes on the lore and contradictions in the lore and potential implications and what was intended to be taken from some things vs things that actually make sense in context/with better research and sorting through what was included for mechanical gameplay vs worldbuilding reasons and combining all of this + the information intentionally left vague so i can form my own ideas into an amalgam of schrodingers canon with which to try to figure out what i personally tend to view as canon in-universe and then still figuring out how to insert the contradictory information/alternate interpretations in as like. character opinion/intentional misinformation/etc.

tag drop, blog edition!

Being a trans sports fan is sooooo hard sometimes. Here’s an entire human cultural practice dating back for a millennia that I cannot participate in. Here’s a way to nourish your body and build teamwork and friendship and so many trans people just aren’t allowed to participate. Entire communities are based around sports and we are locked out of it. There’s so much fearmongering around trans people (especially trans women) in sports. Pride month celebrations are protested, players are banned from wearing pride tape, there are so few openly queer players. I love sports so much but I know I can only love it from a distance.

Trans people deserve to participate fully in sports. Trans kids deserve to play alongside their friends. Trans fans deserve to feel respected. We have to eliminate the gender essentialism that prevents people from participating in such an integral part of humanity.
