It’s not easy serving Chernobog, the God of Destruction, Darkness and Death…especially during the holidays; and especially when you’re out of eggnog and one of your pesky, freeloading mythic creatures has eaten your last cookie. Roman would like nothing more than to be left alone, but when a wounded boy stumbles into his yard and begs for sanctuary, Roman takes him in. Now elite mercenaries are camped out on his property, combat mages are dousing the house with fire, and strange priests are unleashing arcane magic. They thought Roman was easy pickings, just a hermit in the woods, but they chose the wrong dark priest to annoy. For while Roman might be patient, he is the Black Volhv, filled with the love of his terrible god. For his adversaries, it's a fight to the death, but for him, it's just another day in the neighborhood.

Love in a post apocalyptic world

i love how Ilona Andrews "Kate Daniels" series is subtly a pierogi hype machine as one of the authors is part russian

and as someone who grew up in NE Ohio with a huge population of eastern europeans, I agree

ghouls? we should eat pierogi while discussing how to find the source

fighting an elder god? i should eat pierogi while i figure out how to kill him

lost and alone in life? you guessed it, i should eat pierogi

me, when i moved to florida for a few years: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT PIEROGI ARE???

Ilona Andrews: the world may have experienced the apocalypse, but there will always be pierogi 😔

LESTAT + tumblr tags part 3 (part 1 · part 2) Interview with the Vampire (2022)

i looooove characters who are sacrificial lamb coded. characters who have never lived for themselves. characters born to be a tool, a weapon, a sacrifice, all of the above. a character raised by the heroes to save the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. a character raised by the villains to end the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. characters who are denied personhood so they can be used as tools instead. characters who never even had a chance to be people because they were shaped into something else from the moment they were born. characters who were born to die.

I feel it again (the urge to reread Iron and Magic)

tumblr has an AI toggle you should turn on to prevent your work being shared with training models/etc! it's under settings (gear icon) & then visibility.
