Kaz: I need some of that colourful dust that sparkles

Jesper: Do you mean glitter?

Jesper: Is the “Bastard of the Barrel” actually asking me where to get glitter?

Kaz: *Bombastic side eye*

Kaz: My daughter has a school project

He could just go in his everyday where

Jesper Fahey would have absolutely devoured the 2025 Met Gala theme

Started blasting 'Good luck babe' at work just now because my boss has done nothing but annoy me today and then I realized how Kaz and Jesper that is... If only my boss were actually Kaz Brekker though... A girl can dream.

"Im sorry what was your name again"

"Oh it was katya"

And

He felt something so unwelcome, yet all to familiar. Death. Death so all encompassing and surrounding, he felt like he was suffocating.

People think writers have incredible imaginations, but really we just ask “What if?” and then make it everyone’s problem.

If I had to meet jd vance, I'd die too

so my twitter feed pointed out something...interesting

[twistedlimefire]

I feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but more people should read incomplete/unfinished/in-progress fanfics.

I've noticed this huge trend where creators on tiktok and tumblr who will be explaining how to use Archive Of Our Own to new users and they always say "and make sure to scroll down and click completed only" or how people will go out of their way to mention they only read completed fics 'because they were traumatized when they forgot to check the dates and didn't realize this fic hadn't been updated since 2012'.

The thing is - I think by not engaging with and/or actively avoiding writer's WIPs readers are potentially adding to the aggregate of abandoned works. Now this obviously isn't the case for all abandoned fics, anything from major life events, to loss of interest, to getting busy can be a reason for a fic getting abandoned - but at least on some level I just know that writers are quitting while they're ahead when they aren't garnering any response or feedback because reading WIPs has become unpopular. If you're worried about reading something that hasn't been updated since 2012 then you can use the date updated function to sort out old fics.

Anyways, support your favorite fanfic writers by engaging with their WIPs.

This is so hilarious I can't

important things to note about the Queen and the Pope dying

their deaths happened after meeting with right-wing politicians

their deaths took place after the Tumblr sexyman results

Trisha Paytas announced being pregnant around the same time of both deaths

they were both heads of a state (and just, very extremely high-ranking important figures in general)

Jschlatt predicted both deaths

they were both heads of their respective Church

the Pope died on the Queen’s birthday

i'll be updating this post as i find more things out!

[twistedlimefire]

This is why I need to learn to edit also I saw this while listening to monster

someone needs to edit kaz brekker to monster from epic I'm so serious

[twistedlimefire]

Id just like to add one of the first thoughts Kaz (my inclusive kween) has about Nina is that she will flirt with everything and everyone. ( paraphrasing) so in the fucking first introduction of nina it's hinted at -if not explicitly stated if your not blind or ignoring it- that she absolutely not strate

you know you can just say Nina is bi rep right? You don’t have to skirt around it being like “well it’s highly implied but…” no it’s explicitly stated when she tells Matthias she flirts with both men and women. You don’t even need to read between the lines. It’s the exact same thing as Jesper telling Wylan “no not just girls.” (quote may be a little off) but one gets met with “omg my bi king!!!” (As far I’m aware) while the other is like “well the implication here is—” and you guys are clearly uncomfortable bringing up Hanne as proof because Nina met them when they were fem presenting but guess what? You don’t have to! Because she literally already confirmed it long before she met Hanne! You don’t have to make yourself worried about coming across as transphobic because Hanne is not necessary to concluding Nina is bi! Idk I feel like some y’all just can’t handle it when a bi woman is not “basically a lesbian.” like some bi women almost exclusively date men and that doesn’t make them any less bi!

I would just like to clarify, despite my tone I’m not actually angry at anyone who does this, I get being hesitant to call stuff rep but Nina absolutely is. (And, I’m not calling anyone who brings up Hanne transphobic either but if you wanna include them in your argument, I feel like you’d be a lot less uncomfortable arguing it as “Nina loving Hanne before and after they transitioned is proof she’s bi” rather than “Nina being attracted to Hanne while they were fem presenting is proof she’s bi.”)

(also I literally just started kos, so all I know about Hanne is from fandom content so please no spoilers.)
