Despite bad brain been creeping in again (Would think now the construction is done it wouldn't, guessing it's the health flare ups and sleeping problems) juggling two oneshots right now. One is fluffy and wholesome and the other is Jim being a self sacrificial idiot.
The contrast is insane.

If you support Rowling in any way, please unfollow me for reasons I can't say because of the lack of anti SLAPP suit laws in the UK.

The AO3 version now has the html translation for the Trollish because the clocks went forward, I was tired and just plain FORGOT
for the made up fic title: Solar Revolution
Wanted to give my brain something completely different a few days ago (It's not been working right during March) and to keep up my "written thing each month sooo jumped on this. I wasn't expecting Blinky to go and hijack the thing. I'm sorry you've been living in my askbox this long.

For many of troll kind, gemstones have been used to mark eras, be they good ones or ill, much like humans apparently do with their ores, metals and crowns. Tales from these times are then passed down the generations by the spoken word and later, as language and nuance became shared, through text. It is to Blinky’s great pleasure that he happens to own some of the latter! Granted they are a touch archaic even in the sense of the long lived and their meanings have warped with age as much as dust. Eng wema bet eng wema!  Still, as a historian, these offer vital clues to the lost and lessons for the modern day that are just as valuable as when they were first spoken. It is in such great tradition that he continues to parse occurrences from his own lifetime for the records and while he firmly believes highly in accuracy over embellishment, there is the odd temptation here and there to do so. Really it should be, well, expected in particularly in such turbulent times as these…
Anyways enough with all this dilly dallying about with context. Onwards to knowledge and greater understanding!
The earliest period he wishes to cover occurs after troll-kind ventured out from their ancestral homes and long before the most recent descendants of the great Galadrigal line came to be. It is known as the era of the amethyst when the various clans and species of trolls led largely separated lives from one another. This said there are the odd mention of unions or trade meaning isolationist tendencies as the krubera do in the modern was not an absolute. Many so-called mythicals still roamed wild including the now extinct fae. Peaceful would be quite the misnomer though it is certainly one of the uh quieter in comparison.
The next era would be the obsidian or karp. This is believed to have had a different name once but was later renamed for it’s notorious association with Gunmar. Strife with humans was rapidly growing beyond the mere handfuls as space was stolen and the ground was put to flame leading to the War for the Surface Lands. This led to the rise of Orlagk who formed the original Gumm-Gumms though they were not the army they would later become. With so much blood and stone being shed it is hardly a wonder someone like him was formed nor his growing reputation prior to his recruitment as a General.
After winning the ‘battle’ for leadership, he quickly cemented himself as a protector using those under his sway to protect any and all from humans that would do them harm. Even to us who knew nothing of war, he became lauded in song and story for the lives and homes he saved. An Opradush of our very own! Joining the side of this unstoppable force was an honour and things seemed ever so hopeful. Putting aside the odd human that was snacked upon surely a truce could have been come to at some point and the sword might be laid down? It was just for now, just until it was safe. His erkl will remember this better than he assuming he would be willing to impart it.
The emerald or weyrn era is a rather… Complicated one for many reasons and it’s influence has lasted well into the present. Long before there was a name to put to the face there were many rumours even amongst their kind of a rather strange sounding man. Old by their standards yet never seemed to pass, a nose buried in books as much as wading through bogs and a thirst for knowledge that could quite rival his own were it not for the rather distasteful subjects he engaged in. A mastery of time itself…? Even now the very idea disturbs! Still, he left things be and all were willing to ignore it as long as it stayed that way.
Alas he did not keep to this neutral vow and the world would be forced to know of the name Myrddin Wylt when he nestled close to Dwoza. In choosing to back the pale tyrant over those he shared an unusual kinship with, he merrily stoked the flames of Gunmar’s rage bringing lives on both sides of the border under increasing threat. For the greater good he would call it and yet he would later grovel for his mistake with a gift of hope. His supposed liaisons with the future clearly having left him blind to the obvious.
The golden era, sometimes referred to as the oblau or even named after the Ram. did not have quite as clear cut a line from the previous. It ebbed and flowed against one another depending on who’s sway one lived under or how personal things became. When attempts to mediate broke down again and again to be resolved through the clash of armies, one of Camelot’s own turned her back on the humans. She gifted our then defender the ability to create in an attempt to lessen the losses and promised to induce the very klokaran to come to our aid! It seemed far too good to be true and perhaps it was. These were painfully naïve times and peace between the sides still believed possible.
Even this was not to last. Distant rumours that were once old to those fleeing from their razed villages suddenly became fresh to ears closer to the frontline. Caverns had been raided to bring fresh ruz into the fold, whelps snatched from bedfurs, honourless bloodlust and inscription threatened in return for lives being spared. Such things seemed so absurd until it was their doors being battered and demands made just as they were warned. One of his Generals came with an ultimatum for Vendel who was leader at the time: Stand with their protector against those who would put them to the sword without flinching or perish. Despite the desperate pleadings of an unusually armoured youngling, they chose to flee. Alas, war does not care for neutrality and it came for them anyway. Were it not for the wizard, as distasteful as he is, these writing may well not have come to exist.
The Battle of Killahead has left scars that run deep in even the thickest of stone and have not eased since. The final gateway to the old lands was torn down to prevent the escape of Gunmar and his surviving Gumm-Gumms turning it into a prison. A truce made over the blood of a dying king to cease eating their kind and they would no longer be hunted. A Trollhunter gained by the name of Deya and the two wizards that had caused so many problems presumed to have destroyed one another. Nobody would admit their relief at the idea but it was there all the same. Come to think of it, the youngling was nowhere to be seen either.
The citrine era is marked from the moment Dwoza was abandoned in hopes of finding a new, safer home that would not be burdened with all the memories. The humans were fond of wandering even across the deepest of oceans and it stood to reason that troll-kind could do so themselves through the right method of transportation. While they lost many protector during the journey and a few of their own between an assassin and a survivor, they did successfully relocate in what would become Heartstone Trollmarket. This was a true melting pot of cultures, tribes and clans that had nowhere left to turn but each other to bring about something that had not existed before right under the human nose. It’s loss still causes his horns to itch.
This was not in fact an entirely peaceful time despite how it might sound. Between outbreaks of troll flu or other disease, the difficulties of frequent expansion and sabotage from those who were once mistakenly called impure it was wise not to be complacent but despite it all things endured. While their own progress was slow but meaningful, the world above simply moved on far faster than could have been imagined.
When the sapphire or meffa era came about it was the most dramatic thing to occur since the attempted assassination of Kanjigar a handful of decades prior. A human trollhunter? Such a silly concept when he could be crushed so easily by Bular’s claws! Yet much like them and against every odd, he endured and kept doing the impossible. He gathered around allies of all types including those unwelcome, defeated those who even their greatest never managed and even sacrificed his very self to protect everyone until his very last breath. While lost for a time after a feat of sorrow filled stupidity, he found a way to break Decimaar’s leash and while would not defeat it’s owner then, the killing blow would still be his to take.
Looking back, the young master had quite the habit of looking at encounters where he would be unlikely to walk away from and charging into them anyway for good or ill. Bones, his life, his humanity, nothing was too much to give! The problem with this attitude however is you yourself are a finite resource and you will run out. If such warnings fall on deaf ears there is simply nothing that could be done other than mourn when it finally happened.
The present era is simply known as the ved. The Amulet is lost to them and the Trollhunter exists merely as a concept now with the wizard simply giving an apologetic shrug about it all while saying something meaningful only to him. As things are, matters had to be taken into their own hands if Daylight no longer wishes to fight on the behalf of good trolls. All they have ever wished for is to survive in a world that remains ignorant and hostile as the days of his youth so it stands to reason that if all else fails, it shall have to be seized instead. The two younger magic wards tried to talk the rest out of the idea but they have since been lost to misadventure and their return seen as unlikely. All the more reason to mark this as not a time for cowardice as they once might have done. If the balance is wrong, then it will take a revolution to make it right and their group of trolls, their favoured human companion along with his warhammer and a being known as an Akirdion who wished to assist are prepared for it.
In the name of our greatest Trollhunter who once walked both sides, under ram and klokaran, Humsween ti wemi vomi hi bruzen!

Because it's been a week of a lot of construction noises and lack of sleep, decided to do something completely different and tackle a prompt I've owed for a while. Bit of nice low pressure writing that's stop start friendly.
Naturally Blinky hijacked the damn thing for a history lesson.

Writing patterns (tag game)
Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there’s a pattern!
Tagged by @creativenicocorner
Given I have two accounts and I'm curious, gonna put my alt under a cut.
Anybody who said long distance relationships are as rough on the head as the heart is speaking the truth though for the right person?
While the Arcane Order might be considered the guardians of all the majicks contained within this world, not once have they sought to lord over either.
Toby Domzalski has a plan.
It has been a handful of months since they had developed a routine of meeting up outside the bakery to hang out together in a two, three or four.
7:32
Barely gone 10am and already it feels as though an entire day had swept past while barely having the decency of allowing a breather anywhere in between.
Every day for as long as Marinette can remember if the weather planned on being good before the bakery opened, her papa would put out two tables with an accompaniment of two chairs each for anyone who wanted them.
Greetings true believer!
For all the best intentions in the world the wizard, it seems, will be running rather late for the upcoming engagement due to being half distracted by one thing after another instead of focusing on the far more pressing matter of simply getting ready.
Across the very fabric that is woven of time and space there are certainties in the life it creates, events that are consistent in how they occur over and over again if with light variations. - This is c/ped from the currently being edited version
Yeeeah you can def tell much of this is before I started really clamping down on sentence run on. I like my set up for the start damnit and it really shows. Also times for some reason?
Right lets see the alt account:
One of the biggest surprises Félix had in spending so much time with seafarers is just how cat like they can be.
Life for Félix had changed when he was little more than six years old.
To all that dwell below the soft barrier that exists between them, it must seem that the humans have the strangest habit of conjuring tales whenever in the need of explanations involving the sea.
From the little bit of internet research she’d done way back when, nothing should be able to get the drop on a cat. 
As luck would have it the Liberty is currently moored within reasonable distance of Caladh Soillse, the ancient ceasg community known better to surface dwellers as Finfolkaheem.
Even before they met, Luka knew probably more than most nathair clans did when it came to humans. 
Rattling.
There was something truly magical about being around a suen’s ship, any of them really, that never seemed to get old no matter often Luka did. 
Thinking.
From hard won experience of spending an entire childhood constantly on the move thanks to the whims of faceless bureaucrats, Lila knew it was wise to carve out a little niche as soon as possible. 
In comparsion the run on sentence issue has VASTLY improved geez. My set up habit won't stop for anybody though nor will my AU bullshit.
Tagging anyone who wants to join in!

Hello sorry to bother you with this all of sudden ,and this might be coming out of nowhere, and I’m not trying to force you or be pushy but I m trying to get more people into this show with great potential. If your not interested it’s fine but Have you heard of or watched moon girl and devil dinosaur? Season 2 comes out February 2. 
The main character i love she gives me autistic vibes I’m autistic. The show has interesting characters, action ,great music, and animation ,good themes and representation, Anime references, it even has an eyecatch season 2 is going to be more story driven if you find that interesting. It also shares the same animation studio as rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles.
It be good if you watch the first 2 season 2 episode when they air so the ratings will be higher. And watch the other season 2 episodes when they air.
I think Disney might be trying to sabotage the show with them probably dropping 14 episodes on Disney + on February 3. They did similar with season 1 and the ratings where low ,please watch season 2 episodes when they air on. But more importantly also watch it on Disney + on feb 3 and when they air it on YouTube. Unfortunately they are dropping 14 episodes on Disney + so watch them all in one day but also when they air the first time.
I’m not just saying only cable just also. I’m saying please support this show. Despite that it still won 5 Emmys. Also if it’s no trouble could if it alright with you spread the word about this show to others you know like either online or irl. Time is limited!
Tumblr media
I miiight be the wrong person to ask. I've been following one of the boarders for years (Shoutout to Kilomonster who is on tumblr) and retweeting stuff on twitter/on my reblog tumblr since before the first season came out to help promote. The lack of Disney+ means I can't access it but already been doing what I can including watching the official clips/episodes on youtube.
Region blocks/staggered regional releases on top of it makes it extra annoying too.

Sorry I think I closed the tab I had this in originally then like an idiot forgot all about it until I got a spam ask. SO
Between writing for another fandom (Had one fic out last weekend and be another this weekend if I can finish up and edit oh god help) I've been going back and editing the first chapter of Stars with plans to do all of Ghost!AU and the rest of Stars too. That first chapter was rushed, it shows and it damn well deserves better. No new content is being added as that's never been the problem but we got typos getting nuked from orbit, paragraphing where it should be, so so many defunct lines getting yeeted and sentences reworded to actually make sense. Novelty!
Here's a bit that's been straightened out:
By the very tips of his hearing comes a scraping noise. Rather deafening in the stillness of the morn in fact though his eyesight cannot yet place a culprit. Placing a hand over his brow the troll squints and scrutinises and is made to bear witness to broken stone start to shift. Suddenly glowing blue bursts from the remains akin to a butterfly emerging from a cocoon where it continues hurtling into the air ever higher. Then it’s gone. A fist banging against the grate the point of his composure snapping. The silly thing was going away from them! Could that mean their new protector belongs to a different tribal home than theirs? Perish the thought before it rises! Right here is where danger is constantly lurking on their very doorstep! "My word, this is quite the kerfuffle you have left for us isn't it my old friend? I do hope that you will be willing to guide us in spirit for I fear we may be needing your wisdom more than ever."
It's gonna take a while because there's So Much of it but is one of those little projects I'm working on when actually willing to edit. I despise editing at the best of times but this is for a good cause.

So it turns out tumblr removed the "Your queue is at cap" error message.
Tumblr media
For some reason. Had to find out the hard way it had not in fact bugged out. Turns out "posting too many from your queue" also lacks an error message and promptly acts weird.
It started moving things to my drafts without me realising and I still can't post anything on any of my blogs. This is great programming clap clap.

OH GOD
Well good thing I planned a cull because uh:
Tumblr media
As you can see it's rather silly. Once the numbers have been whacked down somewhat I'll be a lot more doable and be able to start the layout for the numbers only grid.
Bit of a random question, blame being extremely stressed for over two weeks over something I'm still being messed around with.
Data entry is fairly mindless, if time consuming, so it's good for anxiety attacks. I need to redo the conditional formatting on the numbers even before I start updating said numbers...
This is it currently with the new key so everything has to fit with the new version of said key. Yaaay.
