An excerpt from “Iron Flame” “A third of you will be dead by next July. If you want to wear rider black, then you earn it!” Dain shouts, his voice rising with each word. “You earn it every single day!” Cath digs his red claws into the masonry and leans over Dain’s head, swinging his swordtail behind him in a serpentine motion as he blows a hot breath of steam over the crowd that sours my stomach. Dain really needs to check Cath’s teeth, because there has to be a bone stuck in there decaying or something. Cries sound in the courtyard, and a first-year to the right — Tail Section — breaks out of formation and sprints back toward the parapet, racing through the aisles between cadets. No, no, no. “We have a runner,” Ridoc mutters. “Shit.” I cringe, my heart sinking as two others from Third Wing decide to follow his example, their arms pumping wildly as they make a break for it from First Squad of their Tail Section. This isn’t going to end well. “Looks contagious,” Quinn adds as they race by. “Fuck, they actually think they’ll make it.” Imogen sighs, her shoulders drooping. The trio nearly collides directly behind the center of our wing — our section — then bolts toward the opening in the courtyard wall where the parapet lies. “Eyes on Solas!” Tairn shouts. I look forward again, watching Solas narrow his one eye to a slit and swivel his head as he draws a full, rumbling breath. Lead fills my chest as I glance back over my shoulder and glimpse the runners nearing the parapet. The dragons didn’t let them get that far last year. He’s toying with them, and at this angle... Oh shit. Solas extends his neck, tilts his head horrifyingly low, and curls his tongue, fire churning up his throat — “Get down!” I shout, lunging for Sloane and tackling her to the ground as fire blasts overhead, the flames so close that heat singes every patch of exposed skin on my body. To Sloane’s credit, she doesn’t cry out as I cover as much of her body as I can, curling over her, but the soul-rending screams behind us are unmistakable. I open my eyes long enough to see Aaric laying flat over the redhead under the endless stream of fire. Tairn’s roar fills my head as lava licks along my arched back. A scream musters at the base of my throat, but I can’t breathe in this inferno, let alone give it voice. As quickly as it struck, the heat dissipates, and I fill my lungs with precious oxygen, gasping for breath before shoving off the gravel to my feet. I turn to face the aftermath as the other second- and third-years around me rise. Those at the back of our section who acted when I shouted are alive Those who didn’t, aren’t. Solas took out the runners, one of our first-years, and at least half of Third Squad. Chaos erupts.

IRON FLAME EXCERPT

kisse (swedish) vs cath (welsh)

info and propawganda under the cut!

kisse /kɪs̪ːɛ/

Because kisse is a cute name for an animal :)

cath /kaːθ/

One because Welsh is awesome despite being almost eradicated by english imperialism it survived mostly through Welsh radio shows and Public Access TV and was (finally) made the national language of Wales in 2011. And Two because I love how casual it sounds. Like, it sounds like the nickname for the name Cathy. Like your cat is just your old college pal Cath come in from partying. Like: Oi Cath you want some water mate? And the the cath just meows back: I'd love some water mate could you top up my bowl? Cheers.

oooooh dain is so dying

reposting some old Cath fanart for @decafbat various bat technology

Unpopular opinion

Dain isn't so bad.

shoutouts to @veryextraincorrectfegbaquotes for being part of my life as an artist in its hatching stage back in the distant year of 2018 and for making me go hue hue with their take on the fire emblem GBA cast even to this day! they're very extra incorrect... but they'll always have a place in my hearts <3 <3 <3 here's most of the drawings i could rescue from the hdd i had before i upgraded my setup and started drawing stuff from this blog

admiring self-growth is kinda uplifting -w-

i think dain will have a huge redemption arc where he'll realize how long he's been lied to and used by the people in power, and will either lose his life breaking the rules and/or saving xaden (which would be so cathartic), violet, one of their dragons, or a marked one, or will live to become a very important part of the rebellion (double agent style) because i feel like it was foreshadowed back at the outpost of montserrat when emery and xaden confessed to having been stationed at outposts as third years before and dain was just shell shocked

you look just like your father

and

it's the things we love most that destroy us

and

fascinating, isn't it, how often heroic and foolish turn out to be one and the same

and

what if we could stop being different colors, different backgrounds, and just be in love?

and

there's always a choice. it's just that sometimes one choice is worse than another

and

watch how quickly the supreme court can make an alien of you. watch how they light your skin on fire and call your attempts to breathe inhuman

and

perhaps bravery is simply the face humanity wraps around its collective madness

and

sometimes evil deserves a sorry

and

but you're the good guys right? you're doing the right thing? you're the ones protected by the future authors of history. no one will remember your wrongdoings, so what does it matter?

and

sorry but destiny doesn't exist in this world. it's just one person's circumstances colliding with another's

photo op

Such medieval "reliquaries" — containers or shrines for the bones or other relics of saints. This pendant is a phylactery — a type of amulet — that housed saintly relics and was supposed to give protection to those who wore it

The Garbage pit it was found is in a court at a noble palace that dated from the High Baroque period in the early 17th century. Though it contained mostly pottery, the pendant was found in a layer of the pit that dated to the 14th century.

Pendant's distinctive artistic style of the pendant suggests that it dates to the 12th century, and that it was already old when it was thrown away.Probably crafted in the workshop near the city of Hanover, about 175 miles north of Mainz, that is known to have made similar objects.

Dain really needs to check Cath’s teeth, because there has to be a bone stuck in there decaying or something.

Maybe Cath is sick and dying and taking Dain with him

finally picking up my Fangirl re-read again (it is DATED and I kinda love it for that) and aspec Cath tbh... "wouldn't want to kiss a stranger" and stuff. It's giving demi-ness, romantic or sexual or both. Knowing Rowell I think she'd also find just vaguely-aspec!Cath cool too.
