Getting to know you ask meme
tagged by @himikochan
Last song: Not sure, I was listening to a 4 hour podcast on the Cuba Embargo (Well There's Your Problem). The last song stuck in my head was 'Mo nanimo kowakunai, kowaku wa nai' by Chiaki Ishikawa from the Gundam 00 film.
Last movie/TV show: I'm currently dipping into the Dungeon Meshi anime when I'm committing myself to watching something. (I listen to stuff while I sew)
Sweet/spicy/savory: Hard to say. Every flavour has its time and place. Why isn't bitter on here?
Relationship status: Single
Last thing I googled: Unclogging sink drains. My father just keeps pouring bleach down the things and there has to be a better way. They're not even clogged, he just feels the need to buy a bottle of bleach every time there is a mild inconvenience.
Current obsession: It's probably still 'Tanz der Vampire' and (other) German language musicals. You know von Krolock is on my cosplay list now.
Last book: Finished 'Mad Ship' out of the Liveship Traders trilogy by Robin Hobb. Now onto the third, 'Ship of Destiny'. The podcast 'Buckkeep Radio' is a nice spoiler free bookclub to listen to after every 5 chapters and it motivates me.
Looking forward to: my garden fence being repaired. The last storm knocked it over and my neighbour is complaining. But of course fencers are busy after this kind of weather. I also just started another version of Melkor (the Silmarillion) to cosplay...
Hmm tagging @koryusai279 @massivespacewren @innerchorus @tired-reader-writer @darthlenaplant
No pressure, just as and when you feel like it.

'The Blade Itself' --A Review
Joe Abercrombie is another fantasy author that's been on my radar for quite some time and I'm only just now getting around to breaking into The First Law Trilogy with its first volume, The Blade Itself.
The book opens with Logen Ninefingers running from enemies known as The Shanka somewhere in the mountains of the far north. His companions are dead. He's alone. He's fighting for his life and he goes over a cliff and into a river and then we're off and running. Ninefingers has quite a reputation as the most feared man in the North and after double-checking to make sure his companions are dead. (Turns out, they're not, but they seem to be from Logen's point of view.) He decides to head south to consult with the spirits and see what to do next. They tell him to seek out Bayaz, First of the Magi.
Across the sea in the Agriont, we meet Jezal Luthar, Major West, and Sand Din Glokta, an Inquisitor, and get our introduction to the government of the Union. Luthar is gearing up for the annual Contest to prove how good of a fencer he is. West is assisting him and dealing with the arrival of his free-spirited and rebellious sister, Ardee. Glokta- who was tortured and crippled by the Emperor of the Gurkish as an Inquisitor doing the bidding of his masters, unearthing corruption and trying to navigate competing political agendas and discovering what they all mean.
Logen eventually finds Bayaz and the First of the Magi reveals his plan: they are to travel across the sea to the Agriont, the warn them not only of the impending invasion of Angland from the North, thanks to the self-proclaimed Northern King Bethod (who has had some run-ins with Logen before). Bayaz has his own plans, which are slowly revealed throughout the rest of the book.
Everyone gradually comes together in the Agriont, where the plans of Bayaz are at last revealed, where war is threatening the Union on two fronts (in the north where Bethod is invading Angland) and in the South where the Gurkish Empire is preparing to move against the Union in Dagoshka. Many people believe Bayaz to be a fraud, but he gathers a company- including Jezal Dan Luthar, Logen, Maljinn, his assistant Quai, and the Navigator Longfoot and a mission to go and confront an ancient evil behind the power of The Eaters.
Overall: So, the word on my particular street before I read this book was that Abercrombie was great with fight and action scenes, and great with dialogue, but people could take or leave his prose overall. I can understand where people are coming from with the fight and action scenes- really great, tight, taut writing that moves at the right speed and keeps the pages turning. His dialogue is also really, really great I love how the characters interact with one another and more importantly, how distinct their voices/personalities are and how they develop throughout the book. His prose...
I don't see the criticism of his prose. It didn't bother me at all-- if anything, you could argue that he's got a very visual writing style that would make translating this book to a graphic novel really easy. (Actually, I might check and see if that's been done yet because it seems like low-hanging fruit just sitting there for the taking, as it were and for sure if Netflix or Amazon or a movie studio comes calling this would be a no-brainer to adapt.)
Halfway through this book, I was worried were getting into Rothfuss territory-- it was interesting and felt like it was going somewhere, but I was starting to worry that the payoff wasn't going to be worth the trouble, despite the excellent characters/dialogue/fight scenes. Happily, it comes together very nicely- and in a nice touch, you get to see the characters react to meeting one other in a very genuine way. So Logen, from Jezal's point of view is just this big, hulking Northerner he gets stuck with at first. Similarly, when Maljinn arrives from the South- she is sneering at 'the pinks', because she doesn't yet know them. It's a small, subtle thing, I know, but I noticed it and I really liked it. It was a nice touch seeing how they meet each other from opposing POVs.
I don't know if it brings anything particularly new to the table, genre-wise, but then again, it doesn't have to! The world-building is simple and not complicated. Abercrombie drops you right into the story with a bang and keeps things rolling throughout. It wasn't a chore to read by any stretch of the imagination and I was *this* close to jumping right into the next volume just to keep on going.
My Grade: **** out of **** Fast, funny, compelling characters, wicked bloody fun this was a great read. Will absolutely check out the next two volumes.

En Garde Prêt Allez
read it on the AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/48961180
by Anonymous
Anakin Skywalker is a highly skilled fencer, known for his fast pace and brutal attack style. Young and arrogant, he carries himself as a man who knows he's going to win - no matter the cost. Obi-Wan Kenobi is an equally talented fencer who has more titles and championships attached to his name than most could ever dream of, and who has the respect and admiration from everyone in the community. When the two are paired off against each other during the World Championships, Anakin is caught between wanting to prove himself and win the title, and not dethroning a man who has inspired him both on and off the piste.
They say never meet your heroes - and certainly never kick their ass in front of a stadium full of their peers - but winning on the piste might bring more treasures and rewards to Anakin than he ever thought possible.

With submissions about to close, I'm going through the pictures for each of them. Most have links to images, or I've been able to find some official or fan art, but there's a few I haven't been able to track down. If you can find any, send it as a DM or ask, otherwise I'll have to use book covers or series logos for them
Belzedar, from The Belgariad
Torak, from The Belgariad (I've got a book cover with him but it's kind of low res)
Bardas and Gorgas Loredan, from The Fencer Trilogy
Helen and Richard Gansey, from The Raven Cycle
If it's fan art, I'd like to know that the artist is OK with their work being used here.

Hey, could you tell me a little about "Heart-shaped box" and "Overshot the target"? <3
Ofcc <33
So, "Overshot the target" is not about Strangers from Hell, but a trilogy called The Locked Tomb that's essentially just lesbian necromancers and sword women in space. So it's about Gideon and Harrowhark but a 1960s Summer Camp counselors AU in which they have the same enemies to lovers thing going on that they do in the novels but in a less fantastical setting.
Still not very fleshed out, but I want to make Gideon a muscular jock and Harrowhark a fencer (which is also them in canon but less fantastical xdd)
Probably won't be longer than a One-Shot (albeit a ~20k one xd)
"Heart-shaped box" however is a Strangers from Hell wip. It's a ghost-hunting au sort of?
In this AU Jongwoo moves to a countryside village to get away from his mom and girlfriend (who all live in Busan) bc said village is pretty close to a mysterious hotel that's sort of always been there and due to the surrounding landscape and its location being pretty isolated it's quite beloved by celebrities. But it's also supposedly haunted.
Now this is where another wip (the "herb doctor ghost" one) comes into play, bc I don't know how I want to connect the ideas. But essentially some centuries ago Moonjo was a really skilled doctor who worked a lot with herbs and could seemingly cure anything to the point that he had gotten a reputation. Namely that he was in kahoots with some demonic things, and that was he some sort of witch, which resulted in him being killed.
(I know that shamans or witches in historical Korea being killed was not that common, they were more likely just ostrasized or shunned according to brief research, but for the sake of this AU Moonjo was simply an outlier.)
So now, ~300 years later, Moonjo haunts the grounds on which he was killed, and the hotel that was built on top of them. And Jongwoo and new-found friends in the village decide to go on a little excursion to the hotel and see whether or not it's really haunted.
It might be too much for a one-shot, but maybe 2-3 long chapters like my Crimson Peak AU

Hey, Fencer, this is very random but: I saw that you mentioned Zatta recently and I was just thinking about her the other day! And that's because... is it me or there are a couple of things in the movie that are kiiinda similar to her harurinpics? Of course, I'm talking as someone who only have read the spoilers so I could be very wrong but, what do you think?
Haha the only reason I was thinking about her was because someone else already mentioned that similarity (which I hadn't noticed because it's been so long since I read her trilogy, even though it's sitting on my shelf).
Going by what others have said, there DOES seem to be quite a bit of similarity going on, so I hope wherever she is, she's feeling thrilled and vindicated XD

Idk, I’m bored, thought I’d make one of those posts ppl pin at the top of their blogs
Hello! This is the main blog of the paluimbel system. We're a median, monoconscious, mixed-origins plural system of uhhh... too many people for individual introductions to make much sense. The name Fencer works for all of us, and we generally don't care that much about pronouns, but would prefer if you use they/it when referring to our system as a whole.
Feel free to ask us as many questions as you want about systemhood/plurality! We like sharing our experiences.
What is a plural system?
(EDIT: I've just had like 15 new people follow me for the tumblr poll conlang thing, so I thought I'd put links related to that somewhere easy to access. Masterpost/Intro is here.
Currently Active Polls: On hiatus for a bit due to exam season T-T)
My current hyperfixation is hermitcraft but also pokemon. Linguistics and conlanging are basically permanent special interests but we don't always post about them.
Oh and here’s this, just to be safe, because I’ve seen too many posts accidentally come true. Not putting any more DNIs, because I don’t wanna spend ages trying to list every possible group of shitty people. If I don’t like what you’re doing, I’ll just block you.
Some fics I’ve written under the cut, just in case you’re interested.
The Adventure of the Sphinx’s Riddle
Complete. ACD Johnlock, pre-relationship, mutual pining. It’s basically a Percy Jackson au, set in the same time period as canon Holmes. Most of the fic is Holmes figuring out that he’s a demigod.
The Adventure of the Buried River
Complete. The sequel to The Adventure of the Sphinx’s Riddle. I plan to write a third part and turn it into a trilogy, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.
‘Till All That Remains is the Arms of the Angels
Complete. Eternal Duo enemies to queer platonic partners slowburn for the teen titans au. Each chapter is probably gonna be really short, just a scene or two. It’s kinda inspired by that one episode of Good Omens that’s mostly just a bunch of scenes of Aziraphale and Crowley throughout history, showing the development of their relationship. I put any necessary context in the author’s notes, so you don’t really need to know anything about the ttau for this to make sense.
TTAU Season 1
Technically a series, not an individual fic. It’s kinda an intro to the above mentioned teen titans au, set up like episodes of a tv show. Currently Includes:
Pilot- There’s a breakout at Essempei City Prison and the Titans (Sam, Ponk, Bad, Puffy, and Ant) must work with the Syndicate (Techno, Niki, and Phil) to prevent all of the city’s most dangerous prisoners from getting out.
Who Am I That I Should Get to Hold You?
Incomplete. Flower Husbands angst with a happy ending. It’s another TTAU fic, but like with ‘Till All That Remains is the Arms of the Angels, you shouldn’t need any background knowledge on the ttau to understand the fic. Basically, 3rd life happened in the ttau, but it was a simulation and everyone got returned to their bodies safe and sound after they died. Everyone except Jimmy and Scott, who, because of a glitch in the simulation, ended up actually dying. Scott’s scientist coworkers managed to upload his consciousness to a computer before his body died; Jimmy wasn’t so lucky. So now Jimmy’s dead, and Scott’s basically immortal. This should be the end, right? Wrong. There is always hope, they just have to find it.
#useful#(also for the record the Apollo dni thing is a joke)#(so like. Apollo fictives/kins/etc. are welcome to interact)#(if you don't know what any of that means then feel free to ignore it)#.............................................................................................#(feel free to break our dni we break our own dni all the time and find it hilarious)#(we added this banner here before we figured out we were plural let alone before we knew we had an Apollo fictive XD)
