*rapid automatic machine gun boop sounds*

*loud battle cry as I scramble to return fire*

beaft time hell yeah

my brother is fostering this very charming lady called chloe

she wishes you a happy drugs

fjfbfj i love her but she 100% looks like she’s telling me to fuck off

i got your trademark right here doll. oh faye wrote a fic? well hot damn it's gonna be angsty, it's gonna be cathartic, its gonna be sexy as hell. probably gonna have extremely complicated yucky women in it. and i'm gonna read it like 4 times in a row

😭😭😭

hey love, i’m so sorry for your loss. i’ve been thinking about you and your family since you moved. i hope you find some peace soon, until then i’m sending you all the love these internet cables can handle. you’re very missed 💞

Thank you so much, dearest heart. I'm grateful for all the good wishes that have come my way. I'll be okay. 💕

ohhhh my god ok pls keep in mind that i watched angel one (1) time ????? years ago (more than 10, time is fake, etc) and immediately turned off the tv at the end like “wow what the fuck was that. anyway” so lots of this may be misremembered or made up so please accept this salt shaker 🧂 and let’s fucking goooo

so this happened in one of the later seasons iirc? 4 maybe? anyway cordy and angel either had a big dramatic breakup or he cheated on her, i can’t remember. but either way he fucked (drum roll) darla??? yes that darla, his sire who for sure died in buffy s1, but we don’t deal in continuity here, this is angel. so she’s??? back??? somehow??? and they fuck which ok whatever except!!! she gets pregananant! which again, theoretically not possible, but this is basically fanfiction so what the fuck.

so she’s knocked up with her vampire zombie spawn thing, and i can’t remember if she sticks around for a bit while the baby cooks and ups the angst factor with cordelia? or it might just be a magical uncle ben’s 2 minute baby situation. either way she dies in childbirth (like she dusts out and there’s just?? an infant???) so angel is left to raise this monstrosity alone. sad.

but then! the babby! is…kidnapped. to hell, for some reason? unclear. so angel has to go to hell to get his child back, except OH NO time dilation shenanigans, the baby is all grown up now even though he was just born last week! he’s a moody teenager and angel is a deadbeat dad, oops

so he brings this understandably angsty and resentful teenage boy (i wanna say connor? don’t quote me) home to his weird bunker thing with all his monster hunting friends, which like. good job, a+ parenting. and it’s rough and the kid hates him for abandoning him in hell (fair) and it’s all very the first half of a steve martin movie where the divorced dad tries to bond with the kid he doesn’t know, yk?

but then. THEN. cordelia decides this is her moment. her friend/ex/whatever is struggling! he is trying to bond with his child! cordy can help! by….fucking him. yeah, she fucks this traumatized 16yo monster baby who was literally born last week, because that’s a responsible adult choice. reliving her queen of sunnydale high glory days??? literally who knows

and if you think that’s the worst bit about this nightmare plotline, strap in! we’re not done! guess who else gets pragnet? that’s right babeyyy, cordelia is having *checks notes* angel’s grandchild????

who turns out to be, i shit you not, gina torres. fully grown gina torres who is also god, for some reason? and this whole thing starting with darla mysteriously coming back from the dead all the way to connor being raised in hell (where angel couldn’t influence him to be uhhhhh a normal well adjusted child ig??? didn’t seem to be a huge risk all things considered but what do i know) was part of the great ineffable plan to get cordy to give birth to gina torres in white robes and return god to the world

except she turns out evil (obv) bc she’s like some alien thing idk and they have to kill her. but yeah. that’s the most fucked up thing i remember from angel? also the only thing rly. pretty sure cordelia and angel get back together in the end? there might be another love triangle with spike, which like, can a guy catch a break? goddamn

what in the twilightriverdalesupernatualvampirediaries

the only part of this that makes any sense is gina torres is god bc that just feels right

but seriously every modern monster show wishes they were buffy(& co(angel(through gritted teeth))) no one will ever have what they had

also assuming xander has been brutually killed by this point which, i hope so, i wonder how he feels about cordy and angel bc his type in women is women who are into angel

Hope I’m not too late for Challenge Monday! (I tried submitting this earlier but I’m not sure it went through, sorry if it’s a repeat)

For song lyric titles, The world come chargin’ up the hill by kissesntea is one of my favorites! Heavy on the Stobin, with Steddie and Rovickie for seasoning. Delicious!

ok obviously we all hate the new tiny url text but can we talk about how much the new “reblogged from op” format sucks?? dreamofbecoming reblogged

reblogged what? when? from where? bitch that’s not a sentence!!!!!!

OKAY i am home i am showered i am Cozy and Tucked In let’s do this

i know we know i’m foaming at the mouth for the renfri fic so imma switch it up a bit, i want to hear about king radovid saves the day and jim please stop!

Okay I am now home and showered and I've finished all my assignments for today so here we go! Thank you so much for the ask <3

King Radovid Saves the Day is a fic I started shortly after the last part of season 3 but have only continued recently, inspired by the thought that it could be quite convenient for Jaskier that his lover now has an army. It also features a bewildered Geralt! Here's a snippet:

Radovid holds Jaskier closer. Jaskier opens his mouth, searching for anything else to say that could possibly take the horrifyingly sad look from Radovid’s face, when— “Is anyone going to tell me what the fuck is going on?” asks Geralt.   Jaskier and Radovid jump apart in equal parts surprise and automatic embarrassment. Somehow, Jaskier had completely forgotten his friend was in the room. Radovid wipes his eyes with the sleeve of his fur robe, swallows, and shakes himself a little, turning to face Geralt.  “This is your witcher?” he asks. Jaskier has heard that question many times over the years, usually with derision or shame directed at one or both of him and Geralt, but rarely with such gentle curiosity, let alone with the rough voice of someone recently on the verge of tears. “He is,” says Jaskier, while Radovid takes a deep breath to compose himself more thoroughly.  “It is an honor to meet you,” says Radovid to Geralt. “To have inspired such songs and such loyalty, you must be a great man.”

Jim Please Stop Almost Getting Killed is one of my first tentative forays into the Star Trek fandom! It's set after an episode in TOS s2 where Kirk almost dies and the basic premise is that Spock was a lot more worried about it than he let on. I'm having a lot of fun with it so far! Here’s a bit:

Still looking at his hands, Spock paused for a moment before speaking. “I admit that I would have found it most disagreeable if you had lost your life in that mission.” Jim smiled a little, gentle and a bit sad. “I wouldn’t have exactly been pleased with it either.” Spock continued as though Jim had not spoken. “Were you to perish, the ship would feel your absence most keenly.” Jim considered him for a long moment before, throwing caution to the winds, he spoke. “And you? Would you feel it?” For the first time in several minutes, Spock finally looked up and met Jim’s eyes. “I admit that I would have, captain.”

Also, because you’re the best, here’s a bit of the Renfri fic <3 in the name of spicing things up, it’s a song rather than prose!

The shrike with hooked beak Will come for the weak She’ll catch you before you can flee She’ll seize you with claws Before you can pause And carry you off to her tree With strength hard and true She’ll run you right through And leave you to rot on a thorn And before you expire All that you’ll desire: Is that you had never been born

(From this ask game)

i love ketamine beaft time! these beafts aren’t mine, they’re my best friends’- i present shortbread and sir harrison ford. have a happy drugs<3

excellent names and excellent shapes.

why soup!!!!

Understandable ! I am very squishable kinda like a big fluffy dog

Edit: realised I missed the ‘why’ thank you 💛

hello i have come to harass my only sandman mutual again (my dad has promised to watch it with me when i go home for the holidays in december eyyyy)

i cant draw so i’m here to drop this in your inbox instead- please consider:

death: do you ever want to talk about your emotions, brother?

dream: no.

hob: i do!

death: i know hob

hob: i’m excited!

death: i know hob

(sad didn’t seem on brand for him lmao)

Death picked an emotionally open golden retriever of a man for her sad wet cat little brother which means she now also has an emotionally open golden retriever of a man as an in-law. It's great.

Also I can't help myself, I have to rec a fic with the most heartwarming Death POV on the Dream/Hob relationship. Death's bit is in the epilogue, but the love story of how they get there is absolutely amazing, thrilling, and so so satisfying. Just thinking of it makes me giddy, it's so good.

Inspire in Me, the Desire in Me by ElloPoppet (@lizabethl)

I don't know if you can wait until after you've seen the show to read it 😅 but keep it in mind! And now I'm extra-excited for you. :)

So first time doing one of these, thanks @dreamofbecoming

Rules: post the top 5 works you’re most proud of that you released in 2022 (not necessarily your most popular), your top 4 current WIPs that you’re excited to release in the new year, your top 3 biggest improvements in your writing over the past year, your top 2 resolutions (ways you wish to improve your writing/blog) for the new year, and your number 1 favorite line you’ve written this year!

Top 5 works:

1. Mark of a Lark - this is one of the first things I began to write for this fandom properly. I had others and OS’s but Mark of a Lark was my first proper foray into Geraskier. 2. Cygnet - this one was written under my other Penname, a twi/witcher fic... it bugged my brain so it was written! 3. A Leshen's Roar - Looki, okay.. this started off as a little tumblr ficlet and people were keen so i wrote this... who doesn’t love Leshen!Jaskier 4. Mark of a Lullaby - So this... who doesn’t love a haunting song. 5. Wylfen Herte- something different, Witcher!Jaskier... tried to go with mysterious and mystical but ended up with this.

Top 4 current wips:

1.     Mark of a Viper need to be finished, gah but writers block and so many other rabid plot bunnies are attacking me.

2.     Mark of a Witcher is in the works, I’ve written and re-written the first chapter so many times as to how it’ll go. Will it be like Mark of a Lark where Jaskier gifts his Witchers things or will it be a Witcher who gifts Jaskier a token of thanks? Who knows!?

3.     Unknown Title: I have a gift exchange that needs to be written but Gerskier is taking over my life.

4.     To be Titled: Thanks to @bamf-jaskier I have a Angst filled Witcher!Jask in blood origins. Same concept, where Jaskier gets sent back in time via singing the song of the Seven, the power to recreate them backfiring and instead of Fjall its Jaskier who turns except he’s more controlled and such. The Seven trains him after everything and the power Jaskier needs to be sent back is gone… he lives forwards, never aging and always longing for Geralt.

Top 3 biggest improvements:

1.     Honestly I don’t really have 3, just the one where I actually got stories out in over a year.

Top 2 resolutions:

1.     *shakes self* FINISH YOUR FICS!

2.     DON’T WRITE MOREEEE!

Top 1 favourite line:

I have way too many… but I guess this can count as one: Vesemir’s Chapter in Mark of a Lark -  "Tell me, Julian, what would it be then? I have heard your songs sung far and wide, and have seen them change the minds of many a being. You may be cursed to be a human, but you still walk the Path, you face the stonings and the prejudices of man, yet you continue on." The old man explained. "I know the type of man you are, a good one, a brave one. You took what happened to you with a grace that would break any other man on the spot."

Fav color: green, but specifically blue-y teals or dark rich forest greens

Currently reading: uhhhh.... I think the last time I actually picked up a book was when I last went through Elliot Bay Bookstore back in September and read An Amount of First Responder on my way home. Haven’t touched it since. I have too many fic tabs open to even begin to tell you what I’m currently reading there. I don’t think I could honestly give you a fandom.

Last song: Green Day’s American Idiot, I had a spotify pop-punk playlist going while I was cleaning earlier today.

Last series: I managed to watch one entire show! It was Nation of Broth on Netflix and was two actors and comic artist going around Korea and having soup. It was lovely and they made everything sound so good even if it was something I knew I’d actually dislike.

Last movie: ?????? I don’t know what the last movie I was able to finish was. I’m pretty sure I’ve finished something since 2020? But the last one I have any conscious memory of seeing was Knives Out when we went to see my MIL in Dec 2019 so.... I’ve definitely started tons since then, and I think I got halfway through MiB? Which felt like an accomplishment.

Currently working on: everything is currently marinating. I’ve got at least 5 Star Wars fics that I do want to finish at some point and if I shook my bookmarks and spreadsheets I’d probably find something I want to podfic. But as of right now, nothing is actively being worked on.

Ooh tags! uhhhh, who all’s active........... @marnz @theleanansidhe @pride-of-storm, @regonym, @sdwolfpup and anyone who wants to, obvs!
