Destiny

We called it The Traveler, and its arrival changed us forever. Great cities were built on Mars and Venus. Mercury became a garden world. Human lifespan tripled. It was a time of miracles. We stared out at the galaxy and knew that it was our destiny to walk in the light of other stars. But the Traveler had an enemy: a Darkness, which had hunted it for eons across the black gulfs of space. Centuries after our Golden Age began, this Darkness found us, and that was the end of everything.

But it was also a beginning.

Human, Warlock, Solar specialist.

Ghost’s name: Destrier

Despite wanting to live as normal a life as a Lightbearer could, he was forced by circumstances into an alliance with the Iron Lords.

Vonryn, he/they

Human, Hunter, Solar specialist

Ghost’s name: Fry

Several years ago Vonryn dragged himself out of the Cosmodrome only to be launched into a series of increasingly profound events, up to and including godslaying.The fame and expectations that followed were too much; it wasn’t long before he retreated to the wilds in search of (relative) anonymity.

Additional note: while I write Vonryn as the protagonist of Destiny’s original storyline and most of the Taken King expansion, he is not Saladin’s Young Wolf, nor is he the player character in Destiny 2. His involvement in those other events doesn’t go beyond the level any other non-player Guardian had.

[Birthday Fic, NSFW] Fiery

Hello everyone, so I wasn’t really planning on writing a birthday fic for Leonardo since I’m not that much of Leo stan, but since @mikotomizuki asked me for a Leo smangst (lol kinda hard to resist this hoe) and I just so happened to be in the mood when she asked me... this happened. I told her it’s just gonna be short since it was totally unplanned so I don’t know how the fuck I ended up writing ~1.8k words (which is definitely longer than my average fics)

Genre: Smangst (Smut + Angst)

Word Count: 1840

Warnings/Tags: profanity, a little bit of femdom i guess, choking, nipple stimulation, rough sex, vaginal sex, 3rd person POV

It had been a few decades since Leonardo moved out of Le Comte's mansion, and the main reason behind this sudden decision is currently pinning him down on the floor, pressing the blunt edge of a dagger against his neck. The woman wore a devilish grin as she straddled him beneath her, on the other hand the pureblood in question simply had a rather entertained smile on his lips.

"Feisty as ever, I see." Leonardo knocked the dagger of Arthemis' hands, earning himself a look of absolute displeasure.

"Yeah, and you're as bland as ever," Artemis sneered as she reached for the memento of her days as a vampire hunter, sheathing it back on its holster, before finishing off with what Leonardo has come to consider the woman's choice of endearment for him, "...you filthy pureblood."

Artemis got off of him, slamming the door on his face before he could even get on his feet. He found her lounging comfortably on the couch when he came in, but just as when he was about to take the vacant spot next to her, she laid down and deliberately took up as much space as her little form could cover. Leonardo chuckled in amusement before settling down on the armrest on one end of the couch.

"You know cara mia, I wouldn't mind getting a welcome home kiss every now and then." Naturally, his suggestion was met with immediate repudiation.

"Never. Also, watch those hands or I'll cut them off," Artemis growled, and Leonardo's hands just momentarily paused in their tracks. After briefly gauging her mood, his hands promptly resumed their northbound expedition, his calloused fingers ticklish against her soft legs.

His grumpy lover glared daggers at him, and just as when his prying hands were about to reach her thighs, she reluctantly readjusted herself on the couch. Leonardo wasted no time occupying the now vacant spot, before draping his arms over her shoulder, pulling her closer to him.

"Tch. Ridiculous how you ask me why I keep calling you a filthy pureblood when you always play dirty." She may be stiff in his embrace, but at least she wasn't downright turning him away.

"I haven't seen you in a week, cara mia. How is wanting a little bit of your love and attention considered playing dirty?"

Artemis rolled her eyes. "Yeah. A week. Immortality must be really tough. Too bad not even we vampire hunters could put an end to your eternal thirst."

Leonardo leaned down to press a kiss on his grumpy lover's cheeks. "Well, I do agree with you that it's rather unfortunate. However, I don't think I'll ever want to have any blood other than yours, and you know what? Maybe I can die too."

This time, Artemis gave her an incredulous look while wiping the spot on her cheeks that he had just kissed. "You know what? I hate you. You've got guts implying you can die when even the most surefire extermination methods don’t work on you.”

Leonardo simply shrugged off her tirade, before capturing her lips in a devouring kiss. She hates him, she says, but if anything, it didn't really take long for it to be evident that she probably didn't mean a single thing she said with how decisively she turned the tides as their tongues battled for dominance. The forsaken vampire hunter has always been a good kisser– probably the only woman in existence that can leave Leonardo gasping for his breath.

The fact that the vampire hunters sent her after him was likely their way of forcing her into her retirement. The average lifespan of a vampire hunter lasts for a couple of centuries, and Artemis has lived way past her retirement age. So one day, the vampire hunters gave her an impossible mission: to discover the method on how purebloods can be exterminated, and should she fail to bring the corpse of one in the span of a year, then she is to lose her honor as a vampire hunter and exit the extermination scene.

There are still times when Leonardo genuinely wonders if Artemis is still holding his 'non-killability' against him, when he would gladly drop dead for her if that's what would make her happy. Sure, it may not be fair on him, but when has he ever cared about those kinds of things? Besides, nothing can be more unfair than being subject to the cruel fate of being unable to die.

Leonardo's hands had found their way to massage Artemis' inner thigh as she busied herself suffocating him with the ferocity of their kiss. Unfortunately, before he could even make an attempt to venture deeper, he found himself once again pinned down, only this time against the couch and not on their doorstep.

"Hey bloodsucker," Artemis arrogantly called him out, "do you want me to love you?" Or so she asks, but with how fast the buttons on his shirt is flying off, Leonardo just knew that the question was purely rhetorical.

"Yes," Leo purred out, "love me into oblivion, cara mia."

"As you wish, my filthy pureblood." Perhaps it's the natural athleticism of vampire hunters, but it never fails to amaze Leonardo just how fast Artemis could strip both of them of their clothes.

Rubbing her wetness against his massive length, she began lapping up every inch of skin on his torso, leaving behind a trail of love marks where she felt like it. She'd always loved giving his nipples the special attention it craves, and this time was no different– she flicked it over and over again with her little tongue while staring him down, satisfying the remnants of her predatory nature with the vulnerable look on her pureblood's face.

"Are you trying to milk me, cara mia?" Leo asked breathlessly as he reached out to set aside stray locks of her hair away from her face, before traveling down to seize her breasts, twirling her nipples in reciprocation of her gesture.

"Just shut up and enjoy it." With those words, Leonardo felt his cock slide up into Artemis' dripping wet core, a gasp of pleasure escaping her lips as it stretched her insides. Her hands slowly made their way to perfectly curl around his neck as she rode him out, sending him into a distinctive haze of pleasure.

"Fuck," Leonardo groaned as he watched his cock fuck her sweet pussy, "you're as tight as ever, cara mia." Leonardo squeezed her ass in his enrapturement, and the hands wrapped around his neck tightened their old on him in response.

"And you're as lewd and as filthy as ever," Artemis mewled out as she devoured every bit of Leonardo's salacious expression, increasing her pace with each groan of pleasure ripping through the pureblood's throat.

Her pace morphed into a frenzied one in no time, and she kept on wildly bouncing up and down his deliciously massive cock until she was completely taken over by the violent waves of her throbbing orgasm, her body convulsing as she soaked him with her sweet release.

Leonardo didn't gave her any chance to fall limp on top of him however, and in the blink of an eye Artemis was on her knees as her lover viciously pounded her from behind. Curses immediately filled the room as she lashed out on him over her loss of control, and smashing his lover until all the curses were replaced by nothing but his name has become Leonardo's greatest self-indulgence in the recent decades.

Being the prideful woman she is, she doesn't give in so easily, and that's exactly what makes it even more satisfying for Leonardo. The pureblood would've made her orgasm several times and she would've been a disheveled mess by the time she can no longer resist the urge to scream out his name, chanting it over and over again as though it were some prayer.

"Leonardo, please...!"

"Please what, cara mia?" Leonardo asked with a triumphant smirk as he slowly pulled out, before thrusting all the way back in with a ferocious intensity, his name escaping her lips once more in a lewd moan.

"F-fill me up, Leonardo. I want y-your filthy pureblood c-cum inside me," she cried out desperately, saying it just loud enough as to not have him make her repeat those words again.

"Now that's a good girl," Leonardo leaned forward to kiss her roughly, and complying with her wishes, he finally stopped holding back. He fucked her with with an unforgiving intensity until his hot, white release filled her up as they came together, before his body came crashing down on her.

Once she has recovered from their orgasm, she began complaining over his weight on her. "Hey bloodsucker, are you trying to kill me? You're crushing me down here."

With a low chuckle, Leonardo turned them over so that she's resting her head on top of his chest. "Better?"

"No," she denies even as she snuggles closer up against him, one hand pulling hardly on his cheeks, "you're an old geezer and you stink like one."

"Really now," Leonardo took her hand and began licking her wrists, not taking his eyes off of hers as his tongue trailed over her pulse, as though waiting for her permission.

"Just do it, really," she averted her eyes to hide her embarrassment and bit back the sound that threatened to escape her lips as he bit her down, the pleasure washing over her more than enough proof for her that she could no longer return to being a vampire hunter even if she wanted to.

After having his fill of her, Leonardo pulled her up for a loving kiss– the only one of its kind that she would always return with the slightest hints of the love she would never admit.

"I love you, cara mia," Leonardo whispered softly as his golden eyes betrayed just how much he had been longing to hear her give voice to the feelings he's certain that existed as well– but Artemis never would.

For in the same way her blood could not kill him, his bite could not turn her into a vampire– and despite their longevity, the lifespan of even the most resilient vampire hunter remains much shorter of that an average lesser vampire.

So Artemis would rather take those feelings to her grave than bind Leonardo's poor undying self with words of love.

"Too bad I'm way above mistaking my debauched, carnal desires for mushy feelings of love, my filthy pureblood," Artemis lied with a weary smile as her exhaustion finally took a toll on her, and it didn't really take much time for her to doze off peacefully on his chest.

Leonardo watched her with lonely smile on his face, combing his fingers through her messy hair, "Then I'll try my best not to yearn for those words," he murmured before allowing the comforting embrace of sleep to take him to the land of dreams.

And in his dreams, his beloved Artemis would openly profess her love for him.

Okay @hoarding-stories tagged me in this like several weeks ago and it’s been sitting in my drafts ever since but here we go. The “ten DIFFERENT things” really killed me here, but maybe its good, because otherwise there would be at least 3 critical role characters on here and it’s good to get some diversity. I’m also counting the different campaigns of critical role and dimension 20 as part of the same “thing.”

Name ten favorite characters from ten different things (books, tv, film, etc.) then tag ten people.

1. Fjord from Critical Role. Shocking no one who follows this blog. But I have loved this character since the second he opened his mouth and I feel it is a genuine honor to get to watch the journey he is going on in this show. He’s just the right mix of practical and chaotic, so good hearted while still being a deeply flawed character, and I just love him so much.

2. Riz Gukgak from Fantasy High. I maintain that Kristen and Gorgug were the characters I loved as soon as I saw, Fig Fabian and Adaine were the ones who I was skeptical of at first but came to love and appreciate as I saw their depths later in the season, and Riz was somehow both. I love his cleverness and his determination and his love for everyone around him, and the scene where he got his dad’s message is the one time in the show that I fully cried. Chaotic good, bitch!

3. Hardwon Surefoot from Not Another DnD Podcast. Jake Hurwitz came into MY house and created a character who is brave and tough and also a dumbass with a pride problem, and who is kind of an asshole but is gradually softening due to his sunshiney found family. And then he had him break down in tears as soon as he was alone because he was so worried about Moonshine getting Crick Rot and at that point it was all over for me.

4. Reynie Muldoon from the Mysterious Benedict Society. Moving on from TTRPG characters now, I re-read these books at the beginning of the summer so just how good they are and just how much I love Reynie are very fresh in my mind. I love how good he tries to be in every way, and I so appreciate how his intuitive and emotional intelligence is shown as being a huge asset to the team. [[And, side-note, if you’ve never read these books or haven’t read them in a long time I very much suggest you do because it’s one of those series where as a kid you’re like “look at these kids kicking ass!” and then as an adult you’re like “oh my god, they’re eleven years old” but with this series it’s still an equally enjoyable experience because all the adults in the series try really, really hard to protect the kids and keep them out of danger so it just raises the stakes that the kids end up in danger anyway instead of breaking immersion, you feel me?]]

5. Lucy Pevensie from the Chronicles of Narnia. Lucy is the light of my life!!!!!!!!! The Narnia books are so so so important to me, and I adore how much Lucy radiates light and hope and wisdom. And I fully have a crush on Georgie Henley so there’s that too.

6. Nancy Wheeler from Stranger Things. MY FUCKING GIRL. Nancy Wheeler is STRONG and BRAVE and TENDER and so fucking smart, like this girl is ALWAYS the one who puts the pieces together and figures out the mystery before everyone else and no one NOTICES and ALSO her fear reaction is to just start shooting whatever the threat is and i LOVE HER

7. Peter Quill from Guardians of the Galaxy. This might be my hottest take, especially post-Infinity War, but Peter Quill is brave and goofy and thinks with his heart instead of his head, and I really love him. He’s an automatic leader, and he loves his friends and Gamora so much, and he didn’t even think twice about sacrificing his life for the world galaxy, like, multiple times. I’m so excited to possibly see him play off Thor in GOTG3 but I am also very worried that he’s gonna get overshadowed by Thor in his own movie and that would make me upset.

8. Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls. Dipper is the BEST and I do not take constructive criticism. Finds a mysterious book in the woods and instantly goes, “ah, I am a monster hunter now.” Is twelve years old and would literally die for his sister. Survives the Weirdpocalypse for days by himself. I love him so much.

9. Ginny Weasley from the Harry Potter books. Not that I hate the movies or anything, but if we’re talking favorite characters we have to talk book Ginny because she really is That Bitch. Popular friendly cool Gryffindor and Qudditch star? Always standing up for her friends? Dealt with the trauma of being mild-controlled by Voldemort at the age of 11? Reacted to her school being taken over by evil wizards by forming an underground resistance group? The definition of Chaotic Good? We have no CHOICE but to stan.

10. Leia Organa from Star Wars. I couldn’t have this list without the first character I ever remember adoring on it. Love my space princess and love having badass female role models and love Carrie Fisher <3

Honorable mentions go out to Vex, Beau, Moonshine Cybin, Annabeth Chase, Frodo Baggins, Wylan Van Eck, Harry Potter, Wendy Corduroy, and literally every single member of the Leverage team.

Obvs no pressure to complete (or to complete as in depth as i did lmao) but I’m tagging @riz-gukgak, @fansofcollisions, @thesea-ofatlas, @emcat37, @disasterhumans, @brightandshinynewstories, @adhdotlexia, @adobabe, @musicallynerdy, and the tenth person is anyone reading this who wants to do it!

#about me #i feel like stanning Fjord Riz and Hardwon says something about me #mostly that i like male characters with very high emotional walls i guess #personal

Name: Warren Robert Reid-Winchester

Gender: Male

General Appearance: short brown hair. green eyes. average height and build. has glasses but they’re just for reading.

Personality: he’s always been content with what he’s got. he’s not loud but he’s not exactly a quiet mouse either. he’d describe himself as extraordinarily ordinary. warren doesn’t ask for anything and it’s a little weird really. he’s just always been grateful that he has two dads that care about him and support him no matter what. he never questioned who his mom was once. he doesn’t care. he fights with his words not his fists. he’s an intelligent kid who sometimes gets himself into tough spots as comes naturally being a winchester. he’s a little naive and sometimes too trusting. he’s going place and knows how to easily protect himself from supernatural threats. he’d say he’s pretty lucky having a werewolf and a hunter as his dads. he doesn’t have much to hide. he a good egg. most of the time. but when he’s mad at his parents, he likes his solitude and aloneness to clear his mind.

Special Talents: he’s a good secret keeper with the things he doesn’t want his dads knowing though. photographic memory. he has a blog that a lot of people at his school tend to read as well as being a writer for his school’s newspaper columns. he’s quite the hacker too. he’s pretty good at reminder his father’s how old they are.

Who they like better: Neither. But he’s closer to Dean.

Who they take after more: James.

Personal Head canon: Warren never really had time to go on many hunts due to it kind of being weird his dad is a hunter and his other dad is a werewolf but he goes on hunts on his own sometimes without letting either of them know. It’s really the only thing he’s lied to his parents about. He’s hope they’d get it but knows that to James, it might be a little weird having his son hunt supernatural threats, probably including werewolves like himself.

Face Claim:

Name: Gwendolyn ‘Gwen’ Esme Reid.

Gender: Female

General Appearance: short bright blonde / white hair. blue eyes. smol baby. #stun.

Personality: pure bean just like her parents. actual child genius. honestly, einstein and steve jobs who? she’s probably going to create something revolutionary to change the world for the better. she can be pretty sassy. she has goals she knows are real and is dedicated. she’s also an incredible motivator. she loves raising the spirits of sad souls in her presence and she usually does a good job. she tends to worry a lot more about others, just like her parents. she can get through life with a high level of optimism that’s hardly shakable.

Special Talents: she’s an extremely talented artist but her passion lies in the scientific field, following in father’s footsteps in. she wants to be a surgeon. she has can bat her eyelash and her dad isn’t really able to say no to her. also mega power cause she’s a nephlim. legend honestly. she bakes too. her cupcakes are bomb.

Book Review: The Whispering Skull by Jonathan Stroud

Why do I want to get pints with the skull

Five Stars

‘The Whispering Skull ‘ is the second book in the Lockwood & Company series. Named so for the mysterious skull that George stole from the Fittes agency when he left. At the end of ‘Screaming Staircase’ Lucy discovered that not only can the skull talk, she can communicate with it.

The book opens with the gang doing what they do best...investigating hauntings.

Lockwood, Lucy and George are good at what they do and are better than all their rivals because they can think outside the box. In saying that our trio are, to use an irish phrase, incredibly cack handed. It’s part of the reason why the characters are so great. They’re brilliant at what they do but they aren’t slick. Let’s go tackle a haunting at a spooky house? Feck it, burn the house down. Is that a wraith? Throw ALL the shit at it. I love them.

After George messes up a bit of research, the trio lose an investigation to Kipps and his minus craic gang of ghost hunters at the Fittes agency.

Have I talked about Kipps? He’s in his twenties and is an adult supervisor to the child investigators at Fittes. Because he’s an adult he no longer possess the Talent needed to investigate and fight ghosts. It’s obvious that, at one point, he was quite a talented investigator himself.

Despite the fact that Kipps is in his twenties, and a grown ass man, he is incredibly hung up on boosting his fragile male ego by getting into fights with teenagers. Unlike most millennials he’s got a job for a life, a secure income and will never have to work a zero hour contract job in his life. Some might dine out on that for life but no, the man insists on being a douche.

Slightly humiliated from their loss, George issues a challenge to Kipps. The next time they go toe to toe they’ll fight it out for the top spot. The loser must post an advert in the newspaper saying the other agency is the best agency. Kipps, still not mature enough to just say ‘No, mate, I’m going home to watch Netflix. You carry on,’ agrees.

All the action kicks off when the trio are on another job to help seal a mysterious coffin. There’s a bit of mishap and George gets sight of an object in the coffin that spooks him cold. The same object is later stolen by grave robbers. When it comes to pass that the stolen artifact is incredibly dangerous, DEPRAC tells Lockwood & Co and Fittes to work together to find it. Because of their bet...that doesn’t happen.

In Whispering Skull Stroud does a great job of balancing humour alongside horror. The back story made my stomach turn a wee bit. The ‘Bone Glass’ is genuinely creepy. It was a great plot device to introduce us to the wider world around Lockwood & Co like DEPRAC and the smuggling underground.

We get introduced to some brilliant new characters in this book. Who loves Flo? Raise your hand. We stan a girl who spends her days hunting through mud in the Thames to find dead bodies for cash. She’s a great addition to the series and I hope we get to see her again.

Indeed, Whispering Skull’s biggest strength is its focus on character development. Poor George is at the heart of this. It’s obvious that Lucy’s presence in the gang has left him feeling a bit left out. His mishap with Kipps leaves him questioning his abilities. Lucy and Lockwood, too caught up in themselves, don’t seem to notice that their friend is suffering because of his incident with the bone glass.

Our girl Lucy is settling into Lockwood & Co nicely. She’s still as kick ass as ever and just as brash. Because of her new found ability to talk to the skull, we really get to see just how powerful she is.

It’s so obvious that Lucy has it bad for Lockwood. And that Lockwood is completely oblivious. Those two. I ship it, reader. I was delighted to discover the existence of #lucewood the other day. Like all YA books I fully expect this romance to be a slow burn that will drive me mad. Big shout to George, who obviously ships it too. Every time his mates play dumb he does the literary equivalent of looking at the camera

Lucy though...I adore her, but we need to acknowledge her flaws. She’s head strong, brave and tough. She also needs a clip round the ear sometimes. Thanks to her insecurities, and her own lack of confidence, she is incredibly stand offish when it comes to new characters, particularly girls. She admits herself that she has no female friends. It’s disappointing to see.

Listen, internalised misogyny is a thing. Society teaches girls that there’s only one way to be a woman while at the same time telling them that girls are stupid, silly and pathetic. Girls learn to hate themselves from a young age and we often turn that hate on each other. I was a little like Lucy when I was a girl but, thankfully with age, learned to wise up. I really hope Lucy gets over this.

And as for Lockwood, I spent most of the first book going, ‘You are hiding something boo boo’ and, thank goodness, Whispering Skull tackles that head on. I find it hard to pin down Lockwood. He’s a genuinely likable character but he’s so mysterious that, at times, he comes across a insincere. I was glad to see the skull ( my new fav), quite blatantly point this out.

So, the Skull. We finally learned its back story, though what it is and what it’s up to is still up for debate. The skull seems to be able to predict the future and....give relationship advice? It’s like a haunted Dear Deidre with sass. Thanks to Lucy’s abilities the skull has become an permanent addition to the Lockwood team, coming with them on hauntings and helping them out with investigations. Its quips lead to some of the books funniest moments. While the gang try and figure things out it hangs about in the background like a snarky commentator. Its depressing outlook on life coupled with its hilarious desire would make me book a second date. It would be great craic down the pub. More please.

Despite its rather ominous warning at the end of book one...the skull didn’t elaborate any further on the whole ‘death thing.’ The book ended on us all learning something more about Lockwood but he’s still just as mysterious as ever.

This is an excellent follow up to The Screaming Staircase. I need more adventures with my ghost hunting babies. On to the Hollow Boy.

tagged by @jingogi quite a while back, but never got the chance to really sit down and do this. It’s such a cool tag!! so here we go...

rules: pick a story/scenario/etc. from a few muses/idols you write for that you really enjoyed writing, whether it gained popularity or not – and then tag your favourite fellow writers to share their own favourite works as well!

I did more than one story for a few idols rip, I hope that’s cool.

bts

destiny ⇢ yoonkook x reader, demon and angel au. one of my fave series I have ever planned out. I’m very excited to lay everything out and tie this series up in a bow one day. I spent countless hours staring up at my ceiling, mapping out this story as much as possible. It has become a bit of a pride for me.

amour chassé-croisé ⇢ jungkook x reader, miraculous ladybug au. this was very fun to write. I don’t usually just write straight with barely any stops but I did for this fic. I love miraculous ladybug and often times, when I like a show or movie, I fantasize my favorite groups in place of its’ characters. I kinda sat down one day and said “imagine if this was a thing? ...I’m going to make this a thing”

in between the lines ⇢ namjoon x reader, writing to life au. by now, you can probably see I love au’s. I’ve often thought about the relationship between writer and work, and even attempted to do something once where a writer got sucked into their own story. This is really the reverse, and I love this au.

kim’s emporium of the strange ⇢ taehyung x reader, witch au. If there is one thing I’m soft for, it’s magic au’s. Around halloween last year, I really struggled to come up with some cool halloween au for Taehyung. I have like two or three semi-long drafts for versions of kim’s emporium of the strange that were titled “pumpkin spice and everything nice” (ik, cringe lol). this one got a lot more attention than I thought (and a nice ass moodboard by @shinybts who according to tumblr does not exist and won’t let me @ them but I find a way)?

first love ⇢ yoongi x reader, best friend au. ONE OF MY FAVORITES!!! I never thought it would have gotten the attention it did, and I’m super proud of it. felt more like writing a fantasy of mine than a well planned fic which is probably why I enjoyed it so much lol.

the married life ⇢ yoongi x reader, vampire au. I spent quite a long time on this (this was my longest fic ever? hmm). I was a little let down in the beginning when this fic didn’t get a lot of love so I kinda sat around moping about what might’ve turned people away from reading it, but I’ve found my peace with it now. I really do love this fic and I put a lot of heart into it so in the end, it doesn’t matter how much attention it gets, I’m proud anyway.

a dash of wicked ⇢ seokjin x reader, writing to life au and villain au. I love love love au’s about villains becoming good/getting redeemed. I didn’t know if jin would really fit a legit villain so I went for a children’s book one, and I really liked the idea. it was fun to play with!

take a breath ⇢ jimin x reader, dad au. stay at home dad!jimin, that is all.

got7

i’ll always make it back to you ⇢ jackson x reader, zombie hunter au. my first fic for jackson and my first smut 🙈. I was going through a zombie au phase and this came out of it. I like how soft it felt.

frat boy!got7 ⇢ got7 x reader, frat boy au. YOOOOOOOOO this was a monster to do but I love love love doing hc’s for got7 and this just came out really lovely. I’m not a fan of frat au’s so you can see how much I loved this one to add it to my favorite fics list :)

babysitter!got7 ⇢ got7, babysitter au. I cannot tell you where this really came from but I just love the thought of babysitter!got7 okay.

got7 working at a grocery store ⇢ got7, grocery store worker au. this shit... every time it gets a note I get reminded that I did this in like a night and it was so utterly random and silly but a lot of people have said it’s funny and honestly... this is what I create when I have no restraints :D

one of those days ⇢ jinyoung x reader, neighbor au. one of the cutest things okay. I don’t write for jinyoung often but writing this made me fall for him.

spirit!yugyeom ⇢ yugyeom x reader, spirit au. to this day, I have been threatened over this piece more than any other thing I have written. I love it.

ghost!jaebum ⇢ jaebum x reader, ghost au. so fucking depressing. I love it.

ghost!youngjae ⇢ youngjae x reader, ghost au. the ghost au that started it all and is still one of my favorite pieces that I wrote sitting on my mom’s toilet for half an hour.

seventeen

boyfriend!jeonghan ⇢ jeonghan x reader, boyfriend au. currently the only living proof I am soft for this libra.

dad!hoshi ⇢ hoshi x reader, dad au. I definitely struggled with which ways to approach this story, but I liked how it came out. I got a little extra with it tbh, but I enjoyed writing it.

college boyfriend!jihoon ⇢ jihoon x reader, college bf au. AHHHHHHHHH!!! the thing that solidified me as a woozi stan. I had soooo much fun with this you don’t even know. I love it so much.

college boyfriend!minghao + animal shelter volunteer!minghao ⇢ minghao x reader, college bf au and animal shelter volunteer au. another fun one, I really had feelings for minghao after this one!! I love the idea of minghao being a lover of unorthodox pets and just being a cute bf.

college boyfriend!wonwoo ⇢ wonwoo x reader, college bf au. this is almost at 700 notes 😱. I didn’t know you guys liked wonwoo this much until I wrote this. I’ll keep that in mind.

bonnie and clyde ⇢ wonwoo x reader, hacker au. I won’t lie and say I didn’t listen to the mystic messenger theme on repeat and didn’t look at 707 aesthetics on pinterest to get in the mood for this one.

monsta x

tough guy ⇢ jooheon x reader, biker gang au. I wrote this for my friend jen’s request and no lie... I was swooning for jooheon in the end. I always thought it was really cute!!

babysitter!monsta x ⇢ monsta x, babysitter au. ahhhh, this came from monsta x ray ep 5 bc monsta x and babies kill me. usually these long hc’s tire me out and this one definitely did, but I love it.

truce ⇢ changkyun x reader, rival au. this was the official debut of my love for changkyun, I believe. I have this ongoing thing in my head that me and changkyun are rivals, always one-upping each other and trying to embarrass the other before we fall for each other in the end. this was more of a pleasure write than anything :)

hate me now ⇢ wonho x reader. okay, I really love me some day6 and their emo songs, so when I heard “how can I say?” I was really inspired to do something angsty and sad but I had no idea who to do it for. Then, wonho popped into my head because I seldom write for him and I don’t know... it just fit. It was quite an emotional write for me. I’m glad I posted it. I usually aim for happy endings but this was new for me.

nct

boyfriend!taeyong ⇢ taeyong x reader, boyfriend au. One of my very first posts on this blog. It hit 500 notes recently and I’m still??? wow??? this was when I was at the height of my love for taeyong (pshhh, I’m still at the height of my love for taeyong).

blackpink

blue lagoon ⇢ lisa x reader, mermaid au. my non-kpop friend found out about my writing blog and really, really wanted me to do a mermaid au for a girl group and lisa was the glaring choice in my head. I love Lisa and mermaid au’s and this was just a nice thing to make. low-key based reader off me because I cannot swim either haha.

welp!! that was a lot of fun. I liked looking at all the things I’ve written and picking my favorites, and I hope all of you that I tag can do the same and admire all the good work you’ve done. now, I’m tagging...

@seoulscapes (have fun with this one girl), @stormae (I hope it’s okay to tag you!), @teeyongs, @ultdabdab and @kimtrain!!! let me know if any of you would like to be untagged!

Yes, Your Grace review – punishing, overly bleak kingdom management • Eurogamer.net

After a long development journey since its arrival on Kickstarter in 2015, Yes, Your Grace is finally here, smaller than previously proposed, but with its original idea intact – almost a metaphor for my own in-game kingdom after I’ve tried my best to be a good and just king.

You play as Eryk, King of Davern, who each week welcomes petitioners to his halls to listen to their problems and hopefully find a satisfactory resolution. A line of petitioners forms in your throne room, which can include pleas from poor peasants, offers from merchants or requests from your three daughters and your wife. While your family needs you to mediate or put your foot down as head of the household, whether it’s soothing your wife’s worries at the state of things or your teenage girls bickering amongst each other, other petitioners have more practical needs: gold or supplies. A quick glance at your resources, permanently visible at the bottom of the screen, tells you what you have available. Spoiler alert: it’s not much. It never is, and that’s the whole point. For every request you grant there will be dozens you’ll have to decline, managing a tight balancing act between keeping your people moderately happy and your coffers and supply stores filled.

Yes, Your Grace review

Developer: Brace at Night

Publisher: No More Robots

Platform: Reviewed on PC

Availability: Out now on PC

Yes, Your Grace has three distinct phases following plot developments. The first hour is like a tutorial – here you only dole out resources or send out your general with the highly medieval name Stan to solve arguments or protect villages from bandits. Everyone is still moderately happy. But soon war is brewing as the Radovians, barbarians from beyond the mountains, come to collect on the princess you promised them 13 years ago. There’s nothing for it but to quickly marry her off to someone else to gain an army, then start preparing for war. I don’t want to spoil everything but it’s safe to say that things only get progressively worse from there on out, not only because you now have more demands than ever to juggle. Besides your general you can use a witch and a hunter as your agents. They sort magic- or animal-related mishaps or scout the kingdom for supplies. Alliances with lords need to be forged, and your castle needs to be fortified. Agents are paid in advance, soldiers need to be fed, and then there’s that pesky bank loan I took up that’s now steadily draining away my funds…

youtube

At times, decision-making in Yes, Your Grace feels like standing at a conveyor belt. Perhaps purposefully so, seeing as YYG’s creator Rafał Bryks was strongly inspired by Lucas Pope’s Papers, Please. And yet, as I compare Yes, Your Grace with all the other tough decision-making sims out there, from Frostpunk to The Banner Saga to Not Tonight, it falls flat in one important aspect – humanity. Beyond a happiness stat I need to maintain to avoid a game over, there’s nothing for me in this row of lemmings that makes me feel for them. Sometimes this is due to situations turning out unintentionally humorous. Instead of voiceover in a language, in YGG characters begin each sentence with a made-up language. This can work, the way it did in Supergiant’s Pyre, but this is too lilting, too close to Simlish – King Eryk wailing a plaintive “Doy” before swaying and falling from his throne in a fainting spell or the happiness metre going down to the sound effect of a sitcom studio audience aww-ing are unintentionally funny and break immersion.

That’s especially jarring as Yes, Your Grace is anything but funny most of the time, both narratively and mechanically. There’s a fine line between a game being challenging and covering difficult themes and it just being frustrating to play. This isn’t to rehash the “do games have to be fun?” debate of yesteryear, but even the bleakest games make concessions for their players, whether they allow room for mistakes or throw you a lifeline. Nothing of the sort happens in Yes, Your Grace, and to me that’s a case of realism being taken too far.

On the Brave At Night blog Rafał Bryks shares some insights into his pixel art workflow, which resulted in stunning scenes like this.

Losing is an abrupt affair, usually down to a single misstep. The game does save at the end of each week, but unless the mistake that led to you losing took place in your previous turn, you have to replay quite a chunk of content with no skip button. Some problems also seem down to pacing errors – by the third phase of the game, I had no tax income and a new source of income I had devised in the second or third week started paying exactly one round before the last battle.

I enjoyed the parts of Yes, Your Grace that took part away from the main gameplay loop around resource distribution. Eryk’s family is a charming lot, with all the bickering and occasional teenage rebellion that make for a believable family dynamic. The writing is solid all around, from the large variety in requests to the main story surrounding the wars I watched everything unfold with interest. You wage two battles, and in both you give orders to your soldiers and may get some extra help here and there depending on the decisions you made before. The battles were not only exciting, but also a great break from taking care of petitioners. The pixel art is really pretty and detailed, especially the scenes set at night are lovely to look at and you can even tell each peasant clearly apart by their clothes and hairstyles.

Yes, Your Grace isn’t unbeatably difficult by any means, but it comes down to single, completely unredeemable choices so often that doing well without the benefit of hindsight is never the result of careful planning so much as sheer dumb luck. At the end, I may have won the war, but it came at great cost, resulting in an ending so devoid of hope my efforts seemed completely empty, ultimately making my efforts feel largely wasted.

Predator (1987) - Episode 138 - Decades of Horror 1980s

"If it bleeds, we can kill it!" One of the many famous lines in Predator (1987) spoken by the film's iconic star Arnold Schwarzenegger. The design of the alien hunter from FX maestro Stan Winston is one of the most recognizable creatures in cinematic history! Doc Rotten and Christopher G. Moore revisit the classic sci-fi/action/horror fils from director John McTiernan, the genius behind Die Hard.

Decades of Horror 1980s Episode 138 – Predator (1987)

Released in 1987, Predator introduced horror fans to a brand new alien threat. No E.T. friendly, extraterrestrial love here, folks. This alien is out to hunt and kill its prey: humans. A gigantic hit when released due to its star-studded macho cast, the film registered with audiences and solidified Schwarzenegger's rising star power status. Alongside Schwarzenegger, the film cast Carl Weathers, Bill Duke, Jesse Ventura, Sonny Landham, Richard Chaves, and Shane Black as a group of mercenaries on a mission in Central America when they encounter a creature bigger and more powerful than they are. The Predator is played by Kevin Peter Hall who also played Bigfoot in Harry and the Hendersons and the alien in Without Warning.

Christopher G. Moore and Doc Rotten revisit Predator in time for the upcoming blockbuster film The Predator (2018) directed by Shane Black, who is featured in the 1987 original. The Grue-Crew find the film holding up remarkably well due to Schwarzenegger (and his co-stars) and the fantastic creature design by Stan Winston. Winston, interestingly, came into the feature late after the first designs didn't live up -- those designs were to be worn by Jean-Claude Van Damme who quit the film after only two days. "Get to the chopper!"

A team of special force ops, led by a tough but fair soldier, Major "Dutch" Schaefer, are ordered to assist CIA man, Colonel Al Dillon, on a rescue mission for potential survivors of a Helicopter downed over remote South American jungle. Not long after they land, Dutch and his team discover that they have been sent in under false pretenses. This deception turns out to be the least of their worries though, when they find themselves being methodically hunted by something not of this world.

We want to hear from you – the coolest, most gruesome fans: leave us a message or leave a comment on the site or email the Decades of Horror 1980s podcast hosts at [email protected] [email protected] or [email protected] .

Special thanks to Neon Devils for their awesome song Bone Chillin!

Early 1900s As soon as gold fever cooled off, Filson shifted the aim of its to outfitting outdoorsmen. The defensive clothing created for survival in Alaska's tough factors was modified to suit fishers, loggers, along with hunters. 1970?1981 Filson, until this stage a family-run company, offers the business. Eventually it lands in the hands of skiwear business owner Stan Kohls, who expands Filson's catalog from around thirty five items to over 250, developing all of them himself with a continued commitment to quality and also historical past fabrication. The organization comes once again in 2005 as well as 2012.

The 256 is a bit on the heavier weight side to start with watching as how 22 oz. twill and bridle leather will quickly exceed most man-made cloths, although it is yet quite comfortable for everyday use and not at all overbearing. The 2 hand straps meet my grip properly, but Filson provides the option of obtaining a handgrip set up for a small surcharge if you locate the bare straps uneasy. The 256 likewise is included with a padded shoulder strap, which attaches via 2 rings on the sides of the filson bag review. You've the possibility of wearing it like a messenger bag, but it's not one thing I have seen to be specifically comfy, nonetheless, I've spotted others do it quite often.

Even in case you do not including the feel of packaging pants (double could save you out of a bad chainsaw clutch plus one-time will let you get rid of burrs from your dog's jacket instead of you) or even do not (or do) need to look like a logger the fly fishing vests of theirs as well as hats needs to be on everyone's list in the earth (for vests) especially Pacific Northwest to Alaska. Their gear is great and is also heirloom quality. No more, its not the newest space age super recycled petroleum based even if recycled item. But with appropriate hygiene its the shizzut. They're a company each one (regardless of your political affixations) must support. Is it forever the choice of mine when I pack the container of mine, no; But there is usually a portion in there in case it is really serious. And they back it up.

Filson's business slogan is, Should have the very best, and as soon as you invest in a piece or even two of you to sell, I believe you will realize that to end up being significantly less marketing hype plus more basic statement of truth. As C.C. Filson place it back in 1914, The items we quote mustn't be confounded with the cheap in addition to greatly inferior grade with that the current market is over-run. This kind of foods aren't merely worthless for any purpose that they're designed, although the individual using them will be better off with no them.

Early 1900s If the gold fever cooled off, Filson shifted the aim of its to outfitting outdoorsmen. The protective clothes made for survival in Alaska's tough circumstances was altered to fit fishermen, loggers, in addition to hunters. 1970?1981 Filson, until this stage a family-run business enterprise, offers the business. Eventually it lands in the fingers of skiwear entrepreneur Stan Kohls, who gets bigger Filson's catalog from around 35 items to more than 250, designing all of them himself with a continued commitment to quality as well as heritage fabrication. The company is sold once more in 2005 as well as 2012.

With a lot of of the filson bags review being produced in the organization headquarters, they use this as a distinctive feature instead of tucking it away in a corner. The production type is completely noticeable from the office's lobby, with machinery and workers completely noticeable behind a glass panel. This kind of rustic look carries through the organization with the warehouses of theirs being renovated to think small business values after being acquired by Bedrock; the wood of theirs is salvaged, floors covered in metal panels and all bolts, trusses, fasteners, as well as beams each uncovered? further perpetuating the mood. Nowadays, Filson looks forward as Alex Carleton fills the role of Gray Madden and creative director (formally of Burberry Watches) stands as the brand's president.

Overall, you won't go wrong with just about any Filson goods, and while they could be expensive, they're definitely built to survive. The 256 is but one that low item, as well as it is an excellent option for everyday use. It is nicely produced and durable, and you can pass on it on to your kids along with your most prized timepiece. If you currently use a well-loved Filson items, we would like to see a picture in our comments section below.

Filson's business motto is, Should have the very best, and once you purchase a piece or perhaps two individuals own, I believe you'll realize that to be less marketing hype plus more basic declaration of point. As C.C. Filson place it too in 1914, The products we quote mustn't be confounded together with the cheap and vastly substandard quality with that the market place is over run. Such foods aren't only useless for the goal for which they are meant, though an individual wearing them would be more well off without them.

Early 1900s If the yellow fever cooled off, Filson shifted its focus to outfitting outdoorsmen. The shielding clothing made for survival in Alaska's tough circumstances was altered to fit fishermen, loggers, along with hunters. 1970?1981 Filson, until this place a family run business, sells the organization.

With most of the filson bag review being manufactured in the business headquarters, they will use this as a distinctive feature instead of tucking it out in a corner. The production model is fully noticeable from the office's lobby, with machinery & staff members totally noticeable behind a glass control panel. This kind of rustic overall look has through the company with their warehouses being renovated to focus business values after being acquired by Bedrock; their timber is salvaged, floors covered in steel sections and all bolts, trusses, fasteners, and beams each uncovered? further perpetuating the disposition. Nowadays, Filson looks forward as Alex Carleton fills the task of Gray Madden and creative director (formally of Burberry Watches) stands as the brand's president.

Overall, you won't go wrong with just about any Filson product, and while they may be expensive, they're certainly intended to survive. The 256 is but one that merchandise, as well as it is a great option for daily use. It's nicely produced and durable, and also you can pass on it on to your children along with your most highly valued timepiece. In case you currently own a well loved Filson items, we would like to visit a photo in our comments section below.

As a business, Filson has adopted that legacy by selling it directlyto you by their Filson Restoration Department (FRD), which revives and often reimagines aged Filson pieces so they are good-as-probably-better (and considerably more expensive) than brand new. History don't come cheap, & I'm dumb enough paying that high quality, now regretting leaving the container of mine back east.
