I am very confused about the holodomor do you have any sources on anything regarding it?
For what I know the best literature on the topic is Whatcroft's Years of Hunger, but I haven't read it
Douglas Tottle's Fraud, Famine and Fascism is an introductionary read, it's very short (170 pages) and debunks a lot of the propaganda around the Holodomor, like photos from the 1920s famine used for the 1930s. It's not entirely correct on the chapter of Thomas Walker because the first american to talk about the famine was actually Gareth Jones, I already linked this article in another post
I think the most respectable position is that there was indeed a famine (some people call the famine a hoax but it's a very small number of idiots and I haven't seen a single serious communist say that the famine never happened. It did happen in fact, and it did not happen only in Ukraine. Jones stated that even close to Moscow you could not find bread), exacerbated by the kulaks resisting collectivization and a probably faulty managment of the famine by the Soviet institutions. If you want to take a more radical stance, then the famine was exacerbated by collectivization, but that does not define a genocide.
Famines were common in the Russian Empire (1891-92, 1899, 1905, 1901, 1906, 1911) prior to the industrialization and most of the famines that happened under Soviet rule were also exacerbated either by the civil war or as a result of the nazi genocidal campaign in Eastern Europe. The "holodomor" was the last big natural famine, the last major famine in the Soviet Union was the one in 1947, because of a drought exacerbated by the destruction of Eastern Europe from Nazi Germany.
Losurdo also talks about it in his book about Stalin

One of my favorite things about the Tori/Itachi fake->real relationship arc is the reactions you've mentioned for everyone else. Deidara particularly who is just constantly suffering from whatever random thing Itachi has done this week.
deidara would never have been able to predict this development, but now that it's happening it seems like he should have. he should have sat down and gone "what is the worst thing my teammates could do to me?" and then reverse engineer this. alas, he didn't, and somehow he got convinced to take their engagement photos?
anyway the rest of this post is about shisui. im haven't developed his relationship with tori uch so this is still rotating/could change
so in this au shisui loves itachi dearly and vice versa, but also shisui is acutely aware that itachi is a weird paranoid little freak. he does not know he's a time traveler. he does know itachi was very upset for years that danzo would Ruin Everything, especially sasuke somehow and also konoha, and then danzo suddenly died under mysterious circumstances. shisui has his suspicions about what happened but he is keeping his mouth SHUT
(shisui agreed danzo is Shady but minato has more of a leash on him than hiruzen, so shisui never felt the danger was like.... real?)
anyway tori and shisui just like... don't really get along. but by the time the whole danzo incident is resolved, tori is really firmly itachi's close friend. they can't avoid each other. awkward smiles all around.
so when itachi is like "i'm going to try and date tori," shisui isn't, like, surprised? but also his advice is "if you date her just to be dating someone, and not because you actually like her, you'll risk ruining your friendship and you only have like three friends." it doesn't occur to him that tori isn't in on the relationship
but then shisui goes to like their book club or something and sees them actually interacting, and he immediately realizes his mistake, which was assuming itachi isn't a catastrophic moron. so he's like "oh NO little cousin" and assumes that eventually tori will kill him. RIP, itachi, you did this to yourself
and then she doesn't kill him, and shisui feels an intense wave of fear wash over him. he's like 82% sure she helped/enabled him to kill Major Village Leader Danzo. tori doesn't even blink when itachi randomly genjust-brainwashes people. he has never once questioned the multitude of insane claims she makes. they can't go forward like this. people WILL suffer
at the same time mikoto comes to shisui like WHY HASN'T ONE OF THEM CALLED IT OFF YET?" because she KNOWS itachi is only dating her to make mikoto stop throwing girls at him, and she doesn't dislike tori but she doesn't really like her either, and also SHE wants to pick her daughter-in-law even though she promised itachi she'd back off if he found someone himself. help her.
and listen. shisui doesn't like tori, he doesn't think this weird relationship move is a good idea, he DEFINITELY doesn't think she'll ever agree to marry into the family, but also he is itachi's brother. his ride or die.
shisui is forced to look mikoto in the eyes and be like, "idk, auntie, i think they're really, truly in love"
then they ACTUALLY get engaged and shisui has another wave of intense fear like no other
shisui: okay, but you DO understand that she'd BE AN UCHIHA, right? and have actual power over the clan?
itachi: it's fine tori thrives in toxic environments
shisui: you are talking about our FAMILY

I was looking at Greedfall fics, a game I haven't played in years, cause I suddenly had the urge to read Kurt fic. Because bodyguard romance? Yes, plaese
But totally not the point
I found a fic started in 2020 and just finished last month. So not quite four years
THE FIC IS THREE MILLION WORDS LONG
THREE FUCKING MILLION WORDS
HOW
I've been writing for more than ten years and Ao3 stats are telling me I've posted 1,465,757 words during that time. Basically 1.5 million words over 82 fics. 18k words per fic on average
THIS ONE FIC HAS THREE MILLION WORDS
I can't wrap my head around it. Author of said three million word fic, I salute you. And please share with us your secrets!

20 Questions for Writers
@hobbitwrangler @grey-gazania @runawaymun @echo-bleu tagged me to do this, so I guess I really should do it! I did this one recently on my main for all the fandoms I've written for, so I'll keep this limited to Tolkien fics here.
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 82.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 128,198.
3. What fandoms do you write for? Currently mostly Tolkien, with the occasional dash of Timeless and Narnia.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
As the Hare Flees Before the Wolf (T, Celegorm & Eöl, 1.8k): Curufin is not the only son of Fëanor Eöl meets upon the plains of Himlad. Or, Eöl meets Celegorm while pursuing Aredhel and Maeglin, and things go very badly for him.
Here at Journey's End (G, Frodo & Legolas, 1.6k): They stay for those they love.
West, West Away (G, Sam & Thranduil, 3.6k): Sam meets an unlikely kindred spirit on the journey West.
and I will love with urgency, but not with haste (T, Aegnor/Andreth, 3.1k): A summer evening spent in a glade near the shores of the Aeluin.
with death on his brow like a crown (G, Aegnor & Finrod, ~600 words): Five times Finrod foresees Aegnor’s death, and one time he foresees his own.
5. Do you respond to comments? Yep! It may take a while depending on spoons, but I almost always do. The only exceptions are for comments that make no sense to me or demand me to write more for a pairing.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? There's a lot of contenders for this, but let's go with Like a Wave That Should Engulf the World (G, Faramir/Éowyn, ~700 words), in which Faramir foresees Éowyn's coming death.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? For Charity (Boromir, Faramir, Éomer, Lothíriel, and Éowyn, 2k), for sure. Two thousand words of pure ridiculousness.
8. Do you get hate on fics? Not since ye olde days of posting on FFN.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Very rarely and very vanilla, with emotions and metaphor taking precedence over mechanics.
10. Do you write crossovers? Nope. Not much into reading or writing them.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Hope not!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Nope.
14. What’s your all-time favorite ship? *looks at header, url, and blog title* I don't think I even need to say.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? For the sake of answering the question, my Glorfinwyn AU, but only because I'm not sure I have the skills to pull it off, and my perfectionism is a raging beast. But I do really want to finish it, even if it's three years from now because I'm the slowest writer I know.
16. What are your writing strengths? Characterization and description/scenery, although I've been struggling with the latter lately. Dialogue has finally been getting easier, though.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? Plot, body language, and describing emotions.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I'll sprinkle in some individual words/pet names (all shamelessly ripped from RealElvish.net) here and there that should be guessable from context clues. I don't do full sentences very often both because I feel it isn't necessary most of the time (sorry JRRT), and because I know people don't enjoy having to scroll to the notes for translations. But I will admit to having a weakness for Elves lapsing into their native tongues during uh. heated moments with their partners.
19. First fandom you wrote for? LOTR, years ago. And here I am back again!
20. Favorite fic you’ve written? This is so hard, but Over Seas of Starlight (G, Frodo & Gandalf, 3.6k) is near and dear to my heart. Sailing West, my beloved.
Tagging @sotwk @afaramir @halfelven @curufiin if you haven't done this already!

A great read to all!
Daemon and Laena did not marry, the only union remaining from houses Targaryen and Valaryon is with Rhaenyra and Leanor;
All phrases said in High Valerian will have a translation right in front of them, I hope you don't get confused. If you feel that your reading has become polluted, comment your opinion so that it doesn't happen again.
MASTERLIST
– DON’T REPOST THIS STORY ON ANOTHER SOCIAL NETWORK. IS NO AUTHORIZED –
“Mommy why only they have dragons?” Anika questions me while watching dragons resting in the distance.
“House Targaryen descent allows them to have a direct and stronger connection to these animals,” I answer my daughter. “Why would you want a daughter dragon? Don't you like Ivar?"
"Yes mom, but he's a wolf and he would like to have a dragon too." The daughter comments while watching the winged beings with all the attention in the world.
“My teacher said that people always want what tends to be impossible.” Edmundo, Anika's twin answers. "Especially something as different as a dragon."
“I think if we can be friends with the princes we could go there, Mom?”
"Maybe, but for the moment I think it's better to go play in the yard and so be away from balconies, right young lady?"
Gradually Y/n descends her daughter from the pillar that placed her to walk to the castle's central courtyard, during her youth it was her favorite place to read and put aside worries and matters about the future. So that moment with her kids there would be fun for her. During the walk, some servants passed by the trio and greeted them with a smile on their faces, the Stark woman felt the purest pride to see Anika and Edmundo politely responding to each of them, it seemed that even in the face of so much turmoil they were immune to everything bad. , especially the greed and wickedness of men.
After their birth, many of Y/n's late husband's family went to her to reach an agreement with descent for House Greyjoy, as the younger brother had been presented as lord of the house and with children, this could generate conflicts and power struggles. Y/n and her brother's thinking at the time was the coin, a certain amount for each child and any mention of the Greyjoy land inheritance about Anika and Edmund would be ruled out, a fact that their mother fought to be present in the role, it could be the only guarantee in case a feud got bigger in the future.
"Mommy looks there," Anika exclaims with her right arm outstretched. "Just like the tree at home, can we go closer?"
"Sure." I replied smiling at her." Did you know that was my favorite place when I used to come here? I would spend hours reading about the aristocracy to help your uncle."
"Can I go back to my room, Mom?" Ed questions looking down at his feet. "I wanted to play there for a little while."
"Stop it, Ed." Anika turns her attention away from me and pulls Edmund's arm. "Let's play hide-and-seek and this lazy face will disappear in no time. Besides, playing outdoors is much better.
"Watch out kids, watch where you're stepping," I warn them as they start to run into the yard.
Y/n possessed differential from the many women at court regarding children, even though she was a Lady she often put aside this title in the presence of her little ones, they need affection and courage, how could she provide such feelings if she worried about clothes, beauty, and other tasks? They might indeed be important, but here was the Y/n Stark woman holding up the skirt of her dress and making it easy to run to where Anika and Edmund were, provoking a series of ecstatic laughs from Anika, she was a real joker.
The afternoon passed and the three of them enjoyed every interaction, some moments they had visitors who watched what they were doing with great admiration, during this time Y/n had the pleasure of seeing again his childhood adventure buddy Mr. Harvin Strong. It was he who had caused a scar on his back when he went to Winterfell they both enjoyed climbing trees and one-day Y/n ended up slipping on some moss on the trunk and falling from a considerable height, however, resentments never remained between the friendship. While Y/n prepared a towel on the ground, her lady companion organized a brief coffee for her children over the shade of the tree.
"Anika comes to eat, your brother is already here," I affirm as I stand up and wipe my hands on the skirt of my dress.
"There is just one detail missing from the drawing." She shouts with her full attention on her paper. "Leave it there and then you can come back." I retort seeing that she was stalling to come.
"But mommy..." I look towards my daughter and noticed the presence of a pout on her lips with almost watery eyes, a worthy staging.
"Don't even think about it Anika, the only person who believes is your uncle. So come soon, you can play more later."
Y/n watches Anika walk carefully, she was angry at her decision, but the funny thing was her lips muttering something that amused her mother. "Say it louder daughter, so I can have the chance..."
"My prince." Elianne, my lady announces with attention behind me, I divert my attention at the same instant. Turning my body around I find Daemon walking over to where we were standing.
"The children are enjoying the day." The man replies smiling. His hands were clasped together in front of his body. "But why does only this one look upset?"
"Someone was preferring drawings to feed," I reply to him. "Feel free to enjoy some of the food, my prince."
At that instant Y/n receives Daemon's watchful gaze, he seemed to study every detail of his friend and the woman took advantage of the act to reciprocate the action. The last time they had seen each other the long platinum locks marked the face of the former friend, now his hair was at shoulder length, a little shorter, but still incredibly beautiful and charming. Still admiring Daemon, Y/n allowed herself to think about the possibility of finally having his company as a husband, after all these years she would be able to be by the side of the one she loved.
"Mommy the juice is out." Anika takes my attention and I look up at her, the empty stick was in her hands, yet I notice a striking smile on Daemon's lips. What could it be?
"Could you fetch some of the liquid Elianne? Just a little more, we'll have dinner later."
"Certainly ma'am." She bows toward me. "Excuse me, gentlemen."
Taking her cue from the lady-in-waiting Y/n lowered her hips to sit beside her sons, but Daemon's striking presence seemed to frighten her silent sons. The prince stood, features closed, hands clasped together in front of him and, main detail, gaze focused on the three below him.
"Is everything okay?" I ask as I cut a slice of cake. I notice Anika slowly approaching my body.
"He's looking at us seriously. I'm scared" I hold my smile.
"Daemon I think your presence is making my children afraid of your person."
"Really?" He inquires as he moves even closer to Anika, she slowly brought her body even closer together to mine setting aside the bread she was eating. "I thought that coming here to extend an invitation makes you excited and not afraid, maybe I was wrong." In that instant, he was already crouched over her calves.
"An invitation?" Edmund asks curiously as he eats a piece.
"The two of you seemed interested in my dragon earlier, especially you child. Perhaps you would like to get to know him more closely."
"Is it serious?" At the same instant, Anika leaves my arms now interested in my friend's invitation, "Mom can I go?"
"Well..." I speak as I look intently toward Daemon, he returned the look with a neutral look on his face. "Do you promise to keep an eye on them? What if something happens?"
"It won't happen." He replies eating some grapes. "Would you like to accompany us on this ride Y/N? I hear you are good at riding" A smile marks his lips as he chews the grapes. Was he saying that in front of my children?
"I appreciate the invitation, however, I need to speak with my brother soon. I appreciate the invitation." I direct my gaze to my sons and find them both already standing beside Daemon. "Be sensible and don't delay."
"Don't worry Mama, I am sure Lord Targaryen will not harm us."
"But it's the fear I was feeling earlier..."
"Rest assured Y/n, your children and I will get along super well, as will you and I" He replies as he stands up between his speech he approaches me "If I may." Daemon reaches out his hand towards me helping me up off the ground, after all, Anika and Edmund were practically ready by now and jumping up and down with anxiety.
"Thank you." I hold tightly onto his wrist as I stand up, but am surprised by a hand around my waist. "Daemon, have some manners and get your hands off of there."
"Nyke ȳdra daor remember complaining skori issa ondos istan va zȳhon waist se īlva bodies istan joined va se bed." Daemon whispers in my ear. (I don't remember complaining when my hands were on her waist and our bodies were joined on the bed.)
"Emagon manners issa prince, ao emagon people around se nyke would raqagon respect syt issa riñar." I remove their hands from where they were and smile at my children. "Elianne will escort you to a safe place, then be careful." (Have modes, my prince, you have people around and I would like respect for my children.)
Finishing the interaction with her children in a hug Y/n leaves their presence and starts her walk towards the meeting with her brother after she didn't lie when she denied her friend's invitation, however, the real intention was not to be so close to him when the memory was still alive in her memory. Even after four long months of the touch and acts of that night of pure lust shared between them, she could not blame herself after the death of her husband the neediness comes to her on certain days but when you have a lord brother in a place where everyone follows you it is impossible to have an affair, however, this prevented the king's brother from entering the young woman's hut at night during the winter games, Daemon accepted the invitation very willingly and went as a representative of House Targaryen.
"Modes? Nyke pendagon gīda ao dīnagon aōhon aside hae nyke entered ao, issa riñnykeā." (Modes? I think even you put yours aside as I entered you, my lady.)
Should she have stopped? Looked back or answered that line? Perhaps it was better to keep walking while going as far away from Daemon as possible, when the words reached her ear the sensations were directly aimed at her sex. To lie that such acts did not return once again in her mind would be considered a sin, after all, it was Daemon Targaryen she thought the man she fell in love with and gave her heart to.
After leaving the hall where some families were present during dinner, Y/n walked with her children to the rooms where they would sleep, it was small, and gave them both room to play when there was no one to accompany them around the castle. After helping both of them change and prepare their beds, the young Stark placed each of them on their beds with a delicate seal on the top of Anika's head, such an act was a mother-daughter tradition that she made sure to keep.
"Sleep well my children, anything call for Elianne and have her come to me."
"We are grown mothers. We can face the dark now." Ed proudly states.
"Even more so after having seen a dragon up close, we can put fear into anyone who tries to provoke us now." Anika completes her brother's speech, and in that instant, I noticed that she was holding my hand. "Mom what did you talk to Uncle Daemon about earlier?"
"UNCLE?" I exclaimed with a tone of surprise. In less than hours, he had already won over my children, what was he up to now?
"Well, we were talking in High Valerian, it is an ancient language and one that the Targaryen family descends from. I learned it in the time I stayed here as a young girl, even though he taught me much of what I know."
"I would like to learn it to find out what you were talking about, I wonder if..." Anika interrupts herself as she yawns, I need to remember to thank the gods for this.
"That means it's time to go to sleep, right?" I get up from Anika's bed and walk to the door, outside I find Elianne accompanied by a helper. "Good night mommy." I hear my children say before closing the door.
While walking to her room Y/n goes over some requests for her lady to carry out in the morning, in less than a week they would already be returning to Winterfell, and leaving belongings in King's Landing was not an option at this point of the championship. After bidding farewell to the company of both helpers the young woman found it strange when she noticed the absence of guards at the door, it was unusual since they came from the north, but when you have a party facts like this happen routinely, however, Y/n kept her sense on alert in case someone knocked on the door.
Leaving these thoughts aside, Y/n walked to her dressing table to remove ornaments, comb her hair and change into a more comfortable outfit to sleep in. While unlocking her hair Y/n began a light murmuring of a song, the intention was to distract and help the time to think, after all, patience is needed for the removal of everything that was in her hair. After finishing all the main steps the Stark woman walked to where her clothes were and chose the one she liked best to sleep in.
"Whenever nyke jurnegon ao, nyke feel raqagon nyke facing se olive precious treasure hen ry se sīkuda dārȳti." (Whenever I look at you, I feel like I'm facing the most precious treasure of all the seven kingdoms.)
"Daemon, how did you get in here?"
"I have lived here for many years before your first time in this castle, my lady." Daemon replies.
"Still, we are alone, and look at the situation you find me in." I indicate to my body, only a small semi-transparent veil covering my skin. "Do you think it's appropriate?"
"Appropriate no, however you know I have a certain fondness for acting against what is right." As I hear the end of the sentence I hear the lock being locked. "You know, earlier when you denied my ride and left me waiting for an answer, it made me question a few things."
"Well then, tell me what bothers your thoughts."
"Sagon issa ābrazȳrys." Daemon says as he walks over to me, I slowly feel my body shiver at his speech. "Sagon issa ābrazȳrys se ao jāhor ūndegon bona nykeā dīnilūks goes tolmiot beyond nykeā political commitment." (Be my wife. Be my wife and you will see that marriage goes far beyond a political commitment.)
"Ao gīmigon īlon kostagon't, especially hae nyke se dārys's lēkia se zȳhon pāstan ones would vēdros naejot ūndegon bisa situation isse court." I respond to the same. (You know we can't, especially as I'm the king's brother and his trusted ones would hate to see this situation in court.)
"When you say that do you mean Hightower or his family? Otto should barely know how to use his stick and thinks he's capable of deciding what I'll do with my life." Daemon's hands touch my face, and as I feel his breath on my face I close my eyes. "Mazverdagon bisa iderennon syt ao, ivestragī issa mazverdagon ao issa ābrazȳrys raqagon īlon promised issue childhood." (Make this choice for you, let me make you my wife as we promised in childhood.)
"Daemon." As I say his name he rests his forehead against mine, I believe he still felt fear. "Mazverdagon issa aōhon ābrazȳrys, issa prince." (Make me your wife, my prince.)
As if a collision of two stars in the sky happened, was the feeling of Daemon's lips next to mine, it was overwhelming to feel it all over again, after all, it had been months of indecent touches of my own at night thinking of him, the one who promised me the world when we were only 15, the man who made me feel in heaven and hell before I could even think of the consequences. It was with Daemon Targaryen that I allowed myself to stop being that delicate northern girl and experience anything that could corrupt me.
I had never been kissed or touched like this, not even when we had our first relationship months ago. As our lips deepened the kiss more intensely Daemon's free hand began to travel down my body, starting on my breasts still covered by the thin blue silk, slowly I feel my nipples getting hard through the fabric, but soon this feeling of being covered fades away and is accompanied by a look of pure lust from Daemon. "She was getting in my way." Having said that the fabric was being pulled off my body and thrown across the room, and I quickly feel a wet chill in the area, his mouth had been placed on my breast directly while the hand that was on my neck was placed on the other breast.
Hostage to this explosion of pleasure I search for support and entwine my fingers in Daemon's hair in an attempt to stand up, for his mouth was getting deeper and deeper in acquiring contact with my body. A groan made a presence on my lips when the man stopped his action, I wanted to feel him one more time, and both bodies joined as the stars made their presence felt in his night. That was the reaction when you are with Daemon. Everything becomes more desirable. I arch against him, begging with my whole body for more. That attitude caught his attention as Daemon lifts his face and brings it closer to my neck, there he pinches my ear shivering my entire body. "Please...please," I say to him. No answer comes only his heavy breathing, maybe he needs a break himself, meanwhile, I direct my hands to his drawing Daemon to the bed, surely it would be more comfortable.
"Jurnegon ao, desperately reacting not Issa religion," Daemon says as he stands over my body, with his right hand holding my two hostages above my head, his other hand kept moving down my body and his mouth never left my neck unattended this mix of actions. (Look at you, desperately reacting to my touch)
My conscience had all the words on the tip of my tongue, was to say yes and everything would be accomplished, but I was thirsty for the pleasure of having one of his fingers in my folds, Daemon started with a slow pace, yet kept my mouth busy releasing moans instead of answering his question. "What happened my beautiful? Have you run out of words?"
I arch my body against him, silently begging with my body for more. Only slightly sympathetic to my distress, he rubs his hips against my core and pinches my ear with his teeth. He says nothing, breathing heavily on the back of my neck, his right hand running over my hips, I sigh deeply as he rubs two more fingers into me increasing the accumulated moisture in my vagina. "Nyke aōhon," I say cos eyes closed and breathing deeply. "Mazverdagon issa aōhon." (I'm yours. Make me yours.)
After my words reach his ears he wastes no more time. Daemon brings his hand to my entrance and begins to stimulate the site, before bringing it to him he placed his fingers on my lips and looked intently at my face while tasting my flavor and aiding in lubrication, something I imagined was not necessary. Observing our situation I am sure I would be stoned for such heresy to my house, but I was willing to take that risk if the result was to end the night crying out for Daemon.
For a brief moment the loss of contact with him caught my attention and allowed me to open my eyes, Daemon was standing there unbuttoning his pants, his shirt must have come off before I could look at him. When the Targaryen prince was undressed in front of me and with his member against my abdomen the reaction to touching me was instantaneous, my trembling fingers touched my clit in light movements as I watched Daemon masturbating himself.
"Look into my eyes Y/n." The petition heated my desire even more. "Keep gracing yourself and keep looking at me."
Touch through touch. Each pleasured himself as we looked into the other's eyes, Daemon's sloppy touches on his cock taking the silence out of the room while my low sigh seemed to provoke him even more. Daemon closed his eyes for a moment and that's when an idea occurred to me, with that I put aside my self-pleasure and brought my hand up to the Targaryen man's member.
"Shit." A low moan leaves Daemon's mouth as he stroked his intimate. He had already removed his hands and handed control over to me. "Are you sure about this?"
"Kessa issa prince." (Yes, my prince.)
With that line I directed Daemon to a chair right next to my bed, earlier it was a place of pastime for reading now this became an object where Daemon would receive pleasure. When the prince adjusted himself on the seat I was kneeling between his legs, my gaze now changed from submission to dominance of what I would do next, I could have several thoughts at once, however, I would put them aside and focus on showing Daemon that I was game.
I slowly snuggle closer to my member, kissing his legs softly as I prolong his physical desire to have my lips on his manhood. Daemon is already moaning long before my lips touch the top of his cock, before bringing his length to my mouth I choose to have my hands do work down the length. I don't say anything during the process, I just look at Daemon who kept his head thrown back and eyes closed.
I had already felt his size inside me, but still, I am amazed to think how big he is and that he would be banging against my throat very soon. I inhale sharply but continue and lick from base to tip as my hand continues to slowly pump him the length below. I feel Daemon's body begin to shake, even more, his abdomen is contracted followed by a series of words in Valyrian, seeing him practically whimpering above me brings a lot of pleasure that is directed straight to my wet core, and when I decide to wrap my lips more around his tip, Daemon lets out a heavy moan that makes my stomach clench. I start by licking his pre-semen before pushing more into my mouth. I decide to squeeze the base of his cock with my lips gently before adjusting its angle to take him deeper, doing so Daemon grabs my hair tightly in response in an attempt to stimulate my actions even more. Slowly I begin to take Daemon's cock deeper. The instant his penis reaches the back of my guaranteed throat, even as I choke on it, I continue to push even deeper until my lips are pressed against his abdomen and my nose feels goose bumps due to his pubic hair.
"Look at you...a lady taking my cock like a slut." Daemon defends such words as I begin to move my head over his length. "Please... shit."
Daemon's hand absently finds its way around my hair like a tangled mess, he begins to pull my face rudely up onto his cock. When his movements become faster and stronger I search for support and squeeze his thighs hard enough to hurt, he could not be the one to gain in this act, a physical reminder was needed. He doesn't scold me when I perform the previous action, however, he continues to pound me for several more minutes before squirting all of his cum into my throat. The taste might not be one of the best, but I do my best to swallow every drop of it as he watches me in amazement as his tongue is thrust out, I don't think he even expected me to do that, so I make sure to always look into his eyes, never taking my attention away from his face.
Daemon groans as he feels the absence of my mouth on his length, however, he seems to recover quickly from his orgasm as he soon pulls my lips together forcing me to sit on his lap, the sensation of having him still wet on my insides teased both of us, I was sure when we both moan against each other's lips. He is looking at mine for a moment later when, still on his lap, I begin to make small movements with my hips over his softened penis after the recent orgasm. Daemon pulls back when I try to tighten our contact further, after all, he had had his pleasure, but I was still waiting for that and these movements caused goose bumps to run through my body, however, he grabs my hips immobilizing my attempt to reach out. He is growling low, I think then to direct my hands to his back and scratch the place, but I am surprised by Daemon grabbing my throat and lifting me slightly.
" Sagon careful skoros ao jaelagon syt, ao ȳdra daor jaelagon naejot wake bē unable naejot geron, gaomagon ao?" He murmurs, not releasing his neck, yet I feel his penis hardening again in my belly. (Be careful what you wish for, you don't want to wake up unable to walk, do you?)
Slowly he pushes my hips until it is possible to feel the tip of his member at my entrance, the movement is slow and firm the first time, stretching me comfortably to give me a chance to adjust little by little. I slowly catch my breath and realize that Daemon was waiting for a signal to continue, so I nod a few times for him to continue and he does, but the gentleness is no longer present in his actions. Pulling to the edge, he pushes back hard, sending the chair forward a little, occasioning a certain fear of falling that leads me to hug his shoulders with both my arms, Daemon seizes the moment and opens my ass as his cock settles deep in my vagina.
A loud sigh leaves my mouth combined with a possessive moan from Daemon, slowly the friction movements in our bodies begin and even though gentle their speed turns to speed and brutality leaving me ecstatic, after all, he pulled my hips out and pushed back again in a rough way. When I feel Daemon peaking I pull his lips to mine, the need to have him in all my spaces went out of whack when the tingling in my belly starts, I needed him completely and in less than two minutes I am tightening around him, and moaning with the need to cum.
Damon smiles against my lips as he notices my actions which draws my gaze and I realize that for the first time since I was inside him that our eyes finally meet again. "Are you going to cum already?" he asks in his sultry, sensual voice, his lips were close to mine, however, our friction was prevented by our joined foreheads.
My only source of response is a groan, and with his next thrust, a cry of surprise erupts my lips the same second he lifts my body next to his, we were now standing and walking towards the bed. As we lay down on the mattress Daemon stands over my body and returns the movements, but this time he exerted all the control over mine, the strokes were sloppy and fast and I could feel his anger, after all, earlier it had been hard for him too. As Daemon strokes his cock at my entrance he brings his right index finger up to my clit to stimulate it, it was the height of pleasure to my sex, the tingling returns, and I let out a loud moan that would be heard by someone in the hallway and nearby rooms. "Are you ready to cum on my cock honey?" Daemon asks smiling, he was reveling in my situation.
"Please, Daemon... don't stop. Please." I beg with my head turned on the bed and eyes closed. "Let me cum."
"Aōha jaelagon iksos nykeā order" (Your wish is an order)
Upon hearing his words in my ear I allow my body to crumble over his member, I cum all over his cock, drenching him with my cream-soiling even the sheets over our bodies, however, his movements do not stop after all he is not finished yet. He was not even close to reaching his apex. While I felt my body soft from the recent orgasm Daemon put his hands on my waist to turn my body, leaving my ass touching his cock, before I could react his direct hand joined both my arms behind my back making him dominate my body completely.
Slowly I feel his cock being placed back into my still dripping pussy to be accommodated, he immediately starts rubbing his tip up and down my slit, once again teasing me and begging for it. When he pushes the tip against my clit, I can't help but start shaking again, I was still sensitive from my recent orgasm.
"So you like having my cock inside your pussy, huh?" he purrs in my ear as he continues to rub his cock against my clit. As he continues to moan in an attempt to get him to push his entire length as fast as possible along my folds, to put aside this torture and begin the rough penetration.
Before I can respond I grumble at the lost friction but stop questioning his action when I feel Daemon pull away from my body, bending down and directing his face toward my ass, his right arm reaching up to rest against my lower back, providing slight support for his actions that would take place over the next few seconds. He spreads my legs a little wider and lays down between them, seconds later, his nose and breath are against my wetness. Then his tongue is going in and out of my hole, he is taking me so well on his tongue that I can't help but roll my eyes, Daemon licks up all my released cum and even swallows some of it. "Your taste is the best in all the seven realms, my queen." He presses his face even closer to my vagina causing me to thrust forward.
The sight is pure sin, his face buried in my pussy, me clutching the sheet as if my life depended on reaching that orgasm, and amid moans he licks, sucks, and bites my clit bringing me even closer to an orgasm. He doesn't stop when my legs start shaking or when my hand starts scratching his, I was sensitive and felt powerless to reach the peak once again. When I start to scream and moan louder he just buries his face deeper and moves his tongue so quickly against my clit that I come harder than our other night and the one a few minutes ago, not realizing that I had squirted my release in his face I remain just panting against the pillow underneath me.
Daemon doesn't even take a few minutes and I feel like he was drowning in my pussy from the feel of his tongue licking my juices and depositing them in his mouth. As his body rises from the sheets I direct my gaze back and find a wet face dragging and making contact, I notice a smile on his lips, but soon he breaks our gaze and starts pressing kisses and licks all over my back, especially over my local scar, taking advantage of the movement he moves up until he reaches my neck. He starts sucking and kissing my spine next, leaving bruises that would be visible to everyone on the court the next day, but at that moment I wish he would continue with his actions and in an attempt to allow him to continue I take my arm straight to his hair and let my hands pull some strands, he bites my neck releasing another moan from my lips.
When he reaches my cheek and begins to lightly seal that region I feel his erect cock in my folds searching for the hole he desperately wanted to return to. As his tip began to thrust into me again he leaves my face and returns his attention to my neck before raising his body, there he licks a long stretch from the bottom of my neck where it meets my shoulder. Without any warning, his cock pushes me the deepest in and simultaneously Daemon bites the spot he was just licking, again a cry of pleasure leaves my lips. He bites hard enough to draw a small amount of blood on my skin, at that moment my moan comes out with a little pain. "Be careful Daemon... we can't leave it obvious," I ask slyly.
He doesn't take his mouth off the bitten spot, his teeth are still buried in me and he wastes no time with his cock and resumes the movement in and out of my hole at that moment he seeks pleasure and there were no limits to achieving it. He enters several times and with a brutal rhythm, taking my body to limits I had never experienced before. Again and again, the movement in and out was repeated and within minutes I am releasing a moan coming from deep in my throat, legs trembling and squeezing Daemon's cock which remains buried in me, not moving until my pussy squeezes his cock as well. Finally, his mouth releases my neck and his tongue licks the little bit of blood from the bite present on his lips. At that moment the only things to be heard, other than the sounds of our breathing in the room and Daemon's hard thrusts into my vagina. Then I realize that Daemon had not yet cum inside me.
"Daemon..." I say as he starts to pull out of my aching hole, I thought he was going to seek pleasure with his own hands, but then his left-hand squeezes my wrist, and the other pushes me back onto the bed as I try to sit up. In one swift motion, he stands over my body and begins thrusting into my core once more. Daemon is moving fast, too fast for me to notice that his only desire was to release his seed into me. "Nyke jāhor leghagon ziry rūsīr issa nūmo, olvie aderī bisa giez sombāzmion jāhor sagon lēda hen heir, " (I will fill it with my seed, very soon this whole castle will be full of heirs)
I begin to whimper under him as he growls and moans loudly, his rhythm beginning to falter once again indicating that he was reaching his orgasm. Then, pulling to the end of the bed, he thrusts back into my core harder than before, and in that sequence of in and out he hits the deepest with such force that I am teasing again as he fills me with his hot cream.
"I..." I pause as he places his forehead on my shoulder. "I love you Daemon."
"I love you too." Light selfies are deposits on my collarbone, we were still recovering from that string of orgasms, plus we were a mess. "My queen."
After a while the couple remained the same way, Daemon inside Y/n, they wanted to enjoy the moment until they split up and continue to behave as was required for court, however after what had happened in the previous hours could cause some rumors when passing employees heard everything that happened between the four walls of the northern lady's room.
Daemon lifts his body and withdraws his member from the woman's entrance, a moan escapes the young woman's lips due to the absence of length inside her. The man stands up and walks over to the dressing table and takes a handkerchief from Stark's hair, with this in hand he returns to the bed and sits down near her intimacy, and cleans that area carefully and calmly.
"This is supposed to be used on my hair, you know?" I ask smiling as Daemon tosses the long handkerchief and begins to lie down beside me again. "Now I have to wash it before I use it."
"If you want to leave it with me I can find a perfect purpose and use for them." Daemon smiles when I realize the intonation he had said. "What? I'm just saying."
"Anyway shouldn't you be going back to your room?"
"No one would risk entering my room without permission. Besides I prefer to spend my time by your side."
Y/n hugs Daemon's abdomen as he settles in beside her, they both wanted that and the young woman wasn't going to waste those hours complaining or fighting. As they each left caresses on each other's bodies the young Stark felt her eyes getting heavy from sleep and tiredness, before she could fully surrender to the dream world she heard Daemon speaking.
"Tomorrow over dinner I will tell my brother of my intention to marry you." Daemon continues stroking my shoulders, however, my movements on his abdomen stop.
"But wouldn't it be better to talk to my brother first? He might react badly to such news in public."
"Your brother already knows of my interest in making you, my wife. I spoke to him yesterday." Daemon kisses the top of my head. "Is that okay with you now?"
"Fine. However my wish now is to have a pleasant night's sleep, would you grant me that wish, future husband?"
"Ah." Daemon laughs in amusement at my speech. "I will be here until dawn, should you wake up later know that I was by your side until the last second.
"One last thing." I say with my eyes closed. "Let your hair grow back."
– Note: YEAH! I'm a little anxious for your return, I think I got excited in some parts, but I hope to improve in my next works. I don't intend to continue in a third part, I would like your opinion.

guide to find the Spicy shiguang fanart
i need y'all to know this is a huge character development moment for me (a couple years back i would be so scandalized to be even talking about this lmao)
anywho. couplea people were talking about how there's not a lot of uhh...raunchier shiguang fanart out there. as a consumer of All The Shiguang Content I Can Get My Grubby Little Hands On, I am here to inform you that uh. yeah it sure is out there. there's not like a TON of it, but that's because the fandom overall is small. it's largely in the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean side of things-- haven't seen a lot of western fans making it actually. It's largely on Twitter, but even then, you're not gonna find anything explicit over there, people tend to link the explicit stuff on their twitter to another website. something like poppiku? I forget what it's called.
Without further ado...
option 1: tag name! on twitter you can search for the tag name specifically and comb through art that way. your options are shiguang (though this is largely limited to just the English-speaking side of things, I feel), 光时 (think this is the Chinese shipname), 程光 (uuuh I think this is the Japanese side? not 100% actually lol), ヒカトキ, and トキヒカ. Those last two are from the Japanese side of things, and fair warning, it seems that in Japanese fandom, the order of the names actually denotes the top/bottom dynamic (so there's Hikatoki and Tokihika; in the Hikatoki, Hikaru is top (Lu Guang) and in TokiHika Toki is top (Cheng Xiaoshi). In western fandom we don't seem to put as much of an emphasis on this, though I'm no expert. It's not a hard-and-fast rule though I feel like, I've definitely seen art under both tags where it doesn't seem so important, and at least one that was tagged with one of those shipnames but was explicit about them switching, iirc. Either way, using ANY of these tags up there you're not going to find any explicit art-- if you DO, it'll be a censored preview, and then through the tweet there'll be a link to another website. A lot of times they have you enter a "password" which is just you typing "yes" in the field (because it wants to know if you're over 18). Though they can change up the password thing-- I had one ask the combined weights/heights (I forget) of LG and CXS lol.
option 2: find a fanartist you like on twitter and just scroll through their "media" page (so it's only showing you pictures they've posted. This does include things besides just fanart, and ofc it can include art from other fandoms, but). I've been doing this a lot lately. Just scrolling through my recents, here's some fanartists I like:
https://twitter.com/KBUCKN_kb/media
https://twitter.com/n0rn0a/media
https://twitter.com/waeyawasan/media
https://twitter.com/icn_e/media
option 3: pixiv! this is the Japanese side of things. again, nothing explicit will be here, but you can find lots of good stuff and lots of smooching. everything will likely be in Japanese though (if you see something you DESPERATLEY need a translation for, feel free to send it my way lol. good practice for me)
EDIT: credit to @canonicallyautistic for this bit of advice: for the Japanese on-screen text, you could use an optical text recognition plugin so you can machine translate doujin quickly (they use Capture2Text for Japanese, but don't know which good ones are out there for Chinese). Thank you!
--
Ok I think that's everything! I'll edit this if I think of anything else. Hooray!
#text post#shiguang#should i post this to the main series tag#i feel like i shouldn't lol#someone enjoy this please#i can't believe i did this lmaooooo

So I saw Wish today and … Encanto is going to stay my favourite Disney movie for the foreseeable future.
But I want to talk about the wishes, because I've seen people on here saying that they're lame or vague or just silly. And I kind of agree with that, but I also think it's part of the point.
Take Sabino's wish. He wished to inspire people, apparently with his mandolin playing. We don't know if he wished this when he was 18 or whether he arrived in Rosas later in life and gave up his wish then. But given Magnifico and Amaya don't look very old, I'm guessing they are both older than they look thanks to sorcery, so they could have been ruling since before Sabino was 18. So for the rest of this post I'm going to assume that's the case.
So when Sabino was 18 the dearest wish of his heart was to inspire people with his mandolin playing. And then he gave this wish to Magnifico for safe keeping and forgot all about it. His mandolin's probably been gathering dust for the last 82 years.
Yes, this is an excessively vague wish. But the movie knows that. Magnifico says it: inspire them to do what? And although you can argue he shouldn't use this as a reason not to grant the wish, he's also not wrong.
And this kind of wish? It's the kind I think the creative team would have made themselves. Think about it: they work for Walt Disney Animation Studios, that world-renowned dream factory. I assume they're happy to be there and have passion for the work they do. If you'd asked them at age 18 what they wanted out of life, they'd probably have told you they wanted to be artists, animators, writers, composers ... that they wanted to make art (of some kind, maybe movies, maybe not) that entertained and inspired people. Now imagine someone taking those ambitions away from them, so that they forgot what they even wanted. Would they be making Disney movies now? No, they wouldn't have bothered going to film school or learning animation or whatever they did to get to where they are today. They'd be doing something far less interesting, probably. I imagine them imagining that kind of alternate life and seeing it as a nightmare.
The tragedy of the situation is not that Sabino never had his wish granted. (He still doesn't have it granted in the movie. He just gets to remember what it is.) The tragedy is that by giving it up and forgetting about it, he lost the chance to make it come true by his own efforts. He doesn't regain that chance for another 82 years. That's a long time to live directionless and lacking the drive to be what he once truly wanted. I wonder what he did in the meantime. We know very little about his life, and I do think that's a missed opportunity.
What we got instead was Simon. He's the only one of the teenage posse to be over 18. His friends know that giving his wish to Magnifico changed him, and not for the better. He's become boring (and perpetually sleepy, which might be a sign of depression stemming from his lack of direction in life). His friends don't seem to know what his wish was, but it's not clear whether he just never told them or whether Magnifico's magic made them forget as well. Simon is there to show us what it (theoretically) does to someone when they lose the memory of their wish. I say theoretically because the kingdom still seems to be functioning pretty well, and most people seem unaware of the negative side effects of forgetting one's wish ... but I suppose these things are necessary for the story to work.
This actually reminds me of Delirium by Lauren Oliver, a YA dystopia series where, on reaching adulthood, everyone has a surgical procedure that "cures" them of the ability to love. Afterwards they enter loveless arranged marriages, put in the work to bring up their children purely out of duty, and spend their working lives in jobs they have no passion for, assigned to them by the government. The only people who see anything wrong with this are those who haven't had the procedure yet, or on whom it didn't work. The protagonist is a girl who accepts the system until, not long before she's due to have the procedure, she falls in love. I never finished reading that series, but one thing I liked about it was how it made the effort to show what a society without love could look like and how it could work. Wish could have done with more of that sort of thing.
The woman who has her wish granted? She wants to make the finest clothes in all of Rosas. Since she's going to make them herself, I'm not sure what will make them the finest; does her talent get a magical boost? Isn't that cheating? What's the point of being the best at something if you're not the one doing it? So yeah, I think that wasn't particularly well thought out. They had to show it happening once so we could see what it looked like, but they probably could have picked a better example. (In Encanto, they similarly had to show what it looks like when a child gets a gift the way Mirabel didn't. But they picked a good example: Antonio, who gets the gift of speech with animals, plus a magical room that's a forest full of animals, and who loves this, and immediately makes friends with a bunch of animals who hang out with him for most of the rest of the movie, and spends his time trying to use his gift in ways that might help people, including in ways that affect the plot. For example, his gift is the reason why the rats can rat out Bruno.)
Remember, the wishes don't all get granted at the end. Mainly, people get their wishes returned to them, so they can remember what they were and do their best to make them come true, if they still want to and still can. The queen doesn't grant that woman's wish to fly, but she does introduce her to a man who dreams of building flying machines.
And so what if they're the dorky wishes of teenagers? That's also part of the point. Without their wishes, everyone's development is arrested.
I could complain about how someone really should have seen the problem with this before Asha did, but I need to get off the internet and have dinner. This post is already longer and ramblier than I intended, but never mind; right now I wish for some food, and I'd better make it happen and not forget about it.

Hello there! I'm totally new in this fandom. I binge-watched 911 in a week with my grandmother (we just finished season 4, we'll start the 5th soon) and we BOTH are roothing for Buddie!!! Even my 82 year old grandma do feel //something\\ between these two, but I'm aware they are so far a mere bromance. Sadly I already had some spoiler in my group chats, and as far as I now, in season 6 they don't have much screentime. So, basically, do you believe in an utopic Buddie endgame or am I delusional?
Hi lovely Nonnie! Aawwww, I adore that you're watching this with your grandmother! And I LOVE that she's rooting for Buddie as well! :D I hope you can give her a hug from me, too. Even if you don't tell her who it's from, if it's too awkward to explain...
Season 6 isn't over yet and I hope you also heard there's some good stuff coming your way to watch with your grandma! If you haven't been spoilered about 612 yet... careful. This post will. ;)
Do I personally think Buddie can be endgame? I believe 100000% they should be based on everything we've seen from 201 on. I'm also under the impression that the odds are VERY high for the show to actually follow through on all of the build up they've given us through the seasons. I mentioned this in my my 612 meta as well, they had to make some very deliberate choices to set up the recurring theme of the couch metaphor beginning in 513, and they've only made it louder and more explicit, so no one would miss it, in 601. That means that when they have Buck unable to fall asleep on his own couch, but he falls into a restful slumber right away on Eddie's, that's the kind of thing shows do deliberately. Why would they continuously make such choices and then not follow up on them? I can't see a reason, not at this point. They know exactly what they're doing. So I'm currently very, VERY optimistic.
Will I ever tell you that it's 100% guaranteed to happen? No. I don't make the show, and it would be irresponsible of me to make you such promises. But when I am so careful not to raise people's expectations in vain, so I hope you get how honest it is when I tell you I am VERY excited for what's to come. ;D
Thank you so much for this, hugs again to both of you! As always, here's my ask tag. xoxox

20 Questions for Writers
Thank you for tagging me @residentdormouse I am procrastinating and this will be a great time filler.
How many works do you have on AO3?
58. I have been posting since 2017.
What is your total AO3 word count?
113,141 I mostly write shorter fics.
What fandoms do you write for?
Outside of Original Works, I mostly post Pokemon fanfic. Though I suspect JJK will overtake that in no time.
What are your top five fics by kudos?
1. The Journals of an Alien Mate - 218
2. An Odd Request and a Dutiful Butler - 82
3. Falling into a Lizard's Nest - 50
4. Shelter from the Storm - 28
5. Supervision - 23
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yeah, I love responding to comments. Getting any comments at all is a big deal and I wanna let them know I saw them.
What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
"Too Late" ends with Hairi bawling her eyes out over the death of her boyfriend.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I think the ending to We Meet Again is very happy considering everything around it. Thalia and Aokiji left on bad terms and run into each other again and at the end they make up and become friends.
Do you get hate on your fic?
When I was younger I got comments calling me cringe, but honestly I haven't gotten a single bad comment since. And those stories are still there sooooo....
Do you write smut?
All the time. Majority of my fics are smut. I love sex.
Do you write crossovers?
No... I'm really not into crossovers.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of. And I do check on occasion when I get paranoid. Honestly, I think because I mostly write self indulgent OC stuff people don't care to.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Almost did once. They asked if they could but then about a year passed and they never did.
Have you ever co-written a fic?
In a sense. I RP with friends and write it out. My boyfriends write on occasion and feed me ideas. I never fully wrote something with someone.
What's your all-time favorite ship?
I don't ship Canon/Canon very often. My top c/c ships are Franky/Robin and Geto/Gojo. i could eat those up for ages.
What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Oeuf, all of them?? Most importantly, this big FF9 fic I have planned. Though I haven't quite started it yet. I really, really wanna write it. Like so much.
What are your writing strengths?
I've been told my smut is really sexy, lmao. I have been told I write fight scenes pretty well too which is awesome cuz I used to struggle with those like crazy.
What are your writing weaknesses?
Finishing things. On a real note, though, I feel that pacing is one of my weakest points.
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
If they're speaking another language, why not? If the whole fic is enveloped in that language (I.E. writing a fic about people in Japan) then the whole thing should be in one language.
First fandom you wrote for?
Zelda. But I'll be damned if you find that fucker.
Favorite fic you've ever written?
So far, my favorite fic is Sleeping Over because it's gentle, soft, and very comforting. How Nanami acts towards Hairi despite all her nervousness and embarrassment is precious.

TC Blorbo Tournament Sweet Sixteen Recap
So I had half of this post written up and then I hit one too many ctrl-z's and Tumblr decided to erase it. I'm bitter because it was quite witty if I do say so myself. Anyhow, let's try this again.
Results! Our group of sixteen has been whittled down to eight.
In the flyby region, Maverick rolled to victory once again to the tune of 82% of the vote. He'll face--get this--Jack Reacher.
Yes, Jack Reacher of homeless, only owns one shirt fame eeked out victory over Stacee Jaxx of the assless chaps and Tom Cruise singing voice. I'm as surprised as you are. Guess he gets good mileage out of that white shirt.
I may be surprised by the outcome of the vote, but I'm not surprised by drama in the flyby region. Mav my Most Dramatic Boy deserves a worthy opponent.
To my personal relief, Danny Kaffee managed to defeat Jerry Maguire in the bat region. (FWIW I considered calling this the baseball bat region but it sounded funnier if it was just a singular bat. An animal? A baseball bat? nobody knows!) I'm relieved because I'm pretty sure @awkwxrdapple was going to personally track me down if Danny lost to Jerry, and I've already heard plenty from @tvheit about Vincent Collateral's seeding. Did not need to go through that again. Whew. (I'm joking, I love you all and I love how invested you are in these silly polls. I love it so much.)
Danny Kaffee will now face Barry Seal, a much tougher opponent who squeaked by Ray Ferrier in a surprisingly close Sweet Sixteen matchup. Well, I say he's tougher but to be honest I like Jerry way more than Barry. Perhaps it's fair to say that Barry Seal has the weight of the milf-community behind him where Jerry did not. (Looking at you, @malewifebillcage. I love you!!!!) Time will tell who emerges the bat region champion.
On the other side of the bracket, Ethan Hunt earned yet another blowout victory but now faces the winner of the Tom Cruise Baddie poll, Lestat. Personally, I'm kinda hoping Ethan manages not to get bitten. Maybe he can hop on a plane and rope climb his way to victory? No matter the outcome, we shall crown a King of Farm Boy Land (that's Wisconsin, for those not in the know) this coming week.
Oh, and last but not least, we have Jack Harper vs Bill Cage in the battle of the TC sci-fi film disney princesses. Or maybe I should say the TC sci-fi film disney princesses from the past fifteen years? We love Steven Spielberg in this house and I do not want to offend him. (I still haven't seen Minority Report. Don't tell him.)
That's all for today, folks! Stay tuned for links to all the polls. I love seeing your unhinged tags and replies, as always. <3

I feel like this fandom doesn't understand gay men at all. Not in the slightest bit. Gay men can still laugh at heterosexual jokes. They can still feel flattered when women compliment them. They can even find women beautiful. I'm a lesbian and I'm not sexually attracted to men but I can admire their good looks. It doesn't mean I want to sleep with them. Some things I see fans get mad over I just don't understand because it's not as outlandish as they think. My gay friends laugh at dirty jokes. One thing that comes to mind is Nick and Mesh. They both post many vids of them dancing with their female friends in clubs. They're both as gay as anything. Gay men can interact with women and they don't lose their sense of humor. If you wondered where this came from it's because Harry read out a sign from an 82 year old asking him to be her daddy. Harry called it scandalous. The fandom is now saying that maybe he is het or he's really pushing his het image or he's desperate for a viral moment. It was just a sign that he found funny.
I hadn't seen either that clip (which I consider a failure of my dash) or the discourse (which I sorry if feel grateful for, but also kind of want links).
I do agree that fandom often dehumanises queerness. I haven't myself really figured out if that's because fandom had some very dehumanising practices at its core or if there's something more specific about fandom's approach to queerness. Much to ponder on.

THE UNOFFICIAL ST. LOUIS BLUES PRIMER PART THREE: GOALIES + MORE
JORDAN BINNINGTON (Binner)
Info: #50, STL 2011
Last season: 3.31 GAA + .894 SV%
History: Played his first ever NHL game in an emergency role in the 15-16 season, then developed in the minors until the fateful 18-19 season where he was the backup to Jake Allen. Through the season, he proved that he could by the #1 goalie for the team and started each of the Blues' 26 playoff games. He became the regular Blues starting goalie, though he would split starts with Ville Husso in the 21-22 season, and then start 61 of 82 games in the 22-23 season (sorry to Griess, he was not very good). The 23-24 season has been a bit of a redemption season for him after posting his worst ever numbers last year and also being notably rowdier than usual.
Profile: Look. He's a good goalie. He's a GREAT goalie when he has a reliable backup, which he definitely does this season. He's never been able to replicate the level he was on in the 18-19 season, but he's still proven time and again that he is a good goalie. On a more technical level, he has a tendency to over-commit to one shot or angle and leave the back door wide open, which isn't great on a team with an unreliable defense. My dad says he sometimes "flops around like a fish" so take that as you will.
Other: Grew up playing with current Thunderbirds goalie Malcolm Subban! Also he got married summer of 2023 and a lot of the younger guys from the 18-19 season, several of which haven't played on the Blues in a few years, were there :) it was sweet :)
JOEL HOFER (Hof) (?)
Info: #30, STL 2018
Last season: 2.50 GAA + .921 SV% (AHL)
History: ROOKIE GOALIE !!!! He played 6 games last year after Binnington's suspension, and proved himself so well that the Blues had three goalies on their roster for an extra week or so. In the AHL he's averaged about a .910 SV% and he actually scored a goal in the 2022 Calder Cup playoffs !! He has one more year on his two-year one-way contract, but if he keeps playing the way he is, he'll probably be sticking around for a while longer! He's definitely still adjusting to the NHL but he's only been improving
Other: Lives with Jake Neighbours! Their friendship is very cute, definitely watch for them in the headbutt line after wins :) My mom says he looks very polite
ROOKIES/SPRINGFIELD THUNDERBIRDS PLAYERS TO KNOW !
disclaimer: i don't watch the AHL games. im not made of money. also for the record they play in springfield, massachusetts
NIKITA ALEXANDROV
Info: #59, C, STL 2019
Smaller player weight-wise but still throws himself around. Up and down between STL and Springfield a bunch as he develops. Young and inexperienced but played well in the 22-23 season when he played 28 NHL games !
MACKENZIE MACHEACHERN
Info: #28, LW, STL 2012
Nearly 30 and has played 123 NHL games. Played for the Hurricanes organization last year but returned to the Thunderbirds for the 23-24 season. Reliable callup if someone is injured.
HUGH MCGING
Info: #56, LW, STL 2018
Literally the funniest name in the world, and he's on a team with Mackenzie Maceachern. Made his NHL debut last season and played a handful of games this season and has yet to score a point, but seems solid on the Thunderbirds!
JAKUB VRANA
Info: #15, LW, WSH 2014
Won the cup with the Capitals in 2018, came to the Blues at the 2023 trade deadline and had a fantastic 10 goals and 14 points in just 20 games. He came back for the 23-24 season, made the team, and then did not play up to potential. Was a regular healthy scratch for about half of the games in the first half of the season, and then got sent to Springfield. Has spent non-insignificant amounts of time in the AHL in the last several seasons
MATTHEW KESSEL
Info: #51, RD, STL 2020
Currently in the Blues lineup as players deal with injuries! Has played 8 NHL games between this season and last season and has yet to score a point, but has been very good on the Thunderbirds!! Solid young right-shot defenseman with offensive ability :)
ADAM GAUDETTE
Info: #88, C, VAN 2015
Technically a prospect despite having played 218 NHL games between the Canucks, Blackhawks, and Senators. Came to the Blues at the 2023 trade deadline in the O'Reilly and Acciari trade after spending the season playing for the Toronto Marlies. He already has 23 goals + 35 points in just 35 games with the Thunderbirds, was AHL player of the month in Oct 2023, and was just recently named to the AHL All Star Game! Currently leads the entire AHL in goals
kind of a stud. hope to see him play on the blues at some point <3
NAMES YOU MIGHT HEAR: Zachary Bolduc, Leo Loof, Jimmy Snuggerud, Otto Stenberg, Dalibor Dvorsky, Juraj Pekarcik. All recent high draft picks (2022-2023) and players to keep an eye on if you’re interested !

Do you have any least favorite Red/Kitty moments? And how would you have written J/H as endgame?
Worst Red and Kitty moments...
There are a handful. I have a Worst Red and Kitty Episodes List I've wanted to post for awhile not but even most of those episodes have a few hidden little cute moments that help make the episode better.
Don't care for the whole Red's crush on Pam thing that was OOC and so not Red BUT Kurtwood Smith's performance of it all absolutely cracks me up every time so I'll watch them on occasion.
The one episode/storyline that absolutely drives me crazy and I won't even sit through is Mother's Little Helper, when Kitty tries to get Red to read the Joys of Sex and he absolutely refuses and wants a deeper problem that could be making Kitty want to try the things in the book. The whole storyline is out of character for both Red and Kitty-just a season ago Red was reading one of Kitty's dirty girl books and getting ideas from it. Why didn't Kitty just sneak in another one of those books. The whole resolution of the thing didn't sit well with me either, in Babe We've Got a Good thing Going where Red and Kitty go to the car show the last scene completely makes up for the earlier mess and I've come to understand the earlier mess more too. But in Mother's Little Helper the ending feels flat and even Eric walking in on them in the kitchen -to me- wasn't as funny as the previous times, I've been saying for years I want to rewrite it but haven't had the chance, maybe sometime soon, I still have the general idea in my head.
Jackie and Hyde Endgame...
I think it would've been fun if at the end of the countdown at the series finale during the credits maybe, we got the tag scene of maybe the gang singing the car still, or maybe just fading photos of the characters but whatever it is, each time a character or pair of characters is on screen a little blurry of text would appear on the screen and summarize what had happened to each character after the 70s. Would've been fun to see the blurb explain Jackie and Hyde married in '82. No explanation of how or why she broke up with Fez but just knowing Hyde and Jackie ended getting married would've been really sweet I think.
Thank you so much for the questions! Enjoyed answering them!
My inbox is like The Forman House, it’s always unlocked and open! Stop in anytime 😀

Heyyyyyyy lovely how are you? Read any good fic lately?
Hello my dear! The answer to this is always of course, though I've been pinwheeling through different pairings and fandoms (though what else is new) because I haven't had a hyperfixation since Good Omens :(
I'll list a few from different recent fandoms. My bookmarks tend to be more mature or explicit ratings and longer fics because I love a good established dynamic
Mystrade (Mycroft Holmes x Greg Lestrade from BBC Sherlock)
I've been reading for these two since October now so there's definitely a few for them.
Paperback Writer by meansgirl
Rated E and totaling 82 265 words, this was an awesome fic where it's technically still canonverse only Greg is secretly an erotica author who just so happens to be Mycroft's favourite. So then of course Mycroft finds out.
Human Remains by Saziikins
This series lives in my head rent free and is so wonderful. It's canon compliant and a very slow burn of Mycroft and Greg getting together and then making a relationship work. Rated E, it's got 3 works in it and totals around 900k words, but the second work is a retelling of the first from Mycroft's POV instead of Greg's.
Pater Noster by manic_intent
Another rent free series, this one is Mystrade but set in the Good Omens universe where Mycroft is a high ranking demon and Greg a lower tier angel. So of course after being brought together a very human Sherlock, they fall in love. Eventually. I adored every bit of it, there's 3 works numbering at 26k words and it's so much fun.
Which brings me to some other recent goodies....
Ineffable Husbands (Crowley x Aziraphale from Good Omens)
Ah, my beloveds. I only listed three here but I have a ton of bookmarks saved for them that I am only too happy to share, should anyone need some recs
Not For All My Little Words by mia_ugly and soft_october
Rated E and about 8k words, this is set post season 2 and is Aziraphale and Crowley's reunion and apology.
you're not a religious person (but) by isozyme
Some snippets of Aziraphale and Crowley over the years. Historical fics for these two are some of my favorites and this fic takes us through some great moments to post season one. Super cute, rated M and nearly 20k words.
post-professional endeavors by darcylindbergh
A look at Aziraphale and Crowley figuring themselves out in retirement, as told from the POV of their poor realtor and other humans involved. I love outsider POV fics and this was top tier. Rated T and about 9k words, it was extremely cute.
Some honorable mentions:
What Spring Does with the Cherry Trees by riosnecktattoo
If you're in the NBC Good Girls fandom you'll probably already know this author, because everything they write is phenomenal, but this fic was lovely. A friends to lovers AU for Beth and Rio that still kept the original characterizations, I can't recommend it enough. Rated E, about 77k words.
Curse of the Green Hag by Moorishflower
A Xedgin fic for DND: Honour Among Thieves. It's a fuck or die curse fic with just enough plot for me to be invested. Edgin is great, Xenk is great, and the smut is great. Enough said. Rated E, 16k+ words.
The Veretian Flytrap by Just_Another_Day
A Dament fic for the Captive Prince fandom, this fic is a great twist on the canon story if Damen and Laurent were an Alpha/Omega pairing. Super in character and has all the greatness of the trilogy itself, I loved it. Rated E (obviously) and is 176k+ words.
Alright, I'll wrap it up here, but I hope there's something in here that interests you! If you want anything more specific (a certain fandom, pairing, rating, etc.) then just let me know and I will have another list for you asap <3
Anyone else with some good fic recs feel free to drop them in the replies or reblogs :)
#god I can't believe I didn't even touch fandoms like tolkien or merlin on here#maybe i should start doing monthly fic recs... like top five in a month or something#that way i won't feel like i neglected so many good ones#if anyone would be interested in that lmk and i can try#also if anyone has recs for ME then please feel free to send them#i am always reading something or other but maybe it will help get my creative juices going to read some other things#since i feel like ive been in a bit of a rut recently#also im so sorry this took so long to answer but. yall know me#skinnyscottishbloke#thanks for the ask! <3#fic recs#multifandom

2022 Book Review
so the first thing I noticed, looking back at what I read this year, is that I haven't read any books that blew me away (with one exception, see below). Unlike 2021 (see last year's posts here and a short one here) when I read books that left me with my jaw on the floor. The other thing I noticed is that in 2022 I went for a lot of rereads. I'm a big re-reader, if I love something I want to expose myself to it as often as I can, but this year I reread way more than I normally do. Then again, I've had a super busy summer and some pretty tough months following that, so it's not so surprising I sought out familiarity and comfort.
Total books read: (if I finish current read) 82 81
Books that stood out in 2022 and other musings:
I. The Queen's Thief series (you'll also see me refer to it as The Thief). Prob my most enjoyable read of the year. Two of the six books thrilled me in a way I hadn't felt in yonks and the other four were pretty good too. Also: A. I'm proud of starting and finishing a series in the same year, it doesn't always happen. B. jfc I have a new blorbo I'd die for.
II. The Wimsey books. I started going through them chronologically and read all of them (bar one, I think). I'm pleased that I started the series and finished it--like I said above, it doesn't often happen, esp in recent years. These are murder mysteries featuring a Duke's younger brother as the amateur sleuth. The mysteries aren't Agatha Christie level of competence (I figured out several murderers before the reveal and I'm not even particularly good at this), nor are all the novels equally good, but Sayer's witty prose was a true joy and her dialogue is a masterpiece.
III. Other top books of the year:
Siren Queen (queer SFF), Black Sun (native American inspired SFF), The Atlas Six (dark academia SFF), How to Bang a Billionaire (contemporary m/m romance), The Goldfinch (contemporary literary), Hogfather (fantasy, humour), and Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell (historical fantasy, am at 70% and really loving it).
IV. I'm always excited to see fanfic authors moving on to original fic and I try to support those authors when I can. I've now created a shelf on my GoodReads so I can keep track. This year I read A Restless Truth, the sequel to Marvellous Light by Freya Marske, which was tremendously engaging, and I also read the self-published duology Magpie Ballads (Elegy is the first novel's title) by Vale Aida (only on Amazon atm). This author is superb, I truly love their writing style and how confidently they handle their craft (description, dialogue, narration etc). I have Thoughts TM on plot and story, but overall a very strong debut.
V. The exception (mentioned above): Lymond. What else. I finished Pawn in Frankincense in January and it destroyed me. Absolutely left me in a puddle weeping on the floor. I'd stalled in the book (and series) halfway through for years now. Each 1st Jan I'd be like "...and I need to finish the Lymond books this year!!!!" and it never happened--but then, in 2022, it (almost) did. I also read The Ringed Castle in autumn and am one third in Checkmate. Progress! (I had high hopes of finishing CM before NY but alas. Still trying to finish another long book.) Anyway, Pawn in Frankincense is the novel that blew me away in 2022.
VI. The new thing of the year: receiving daily-ish emails in my inbox with chapters from a classic book. I didn't go for Dracula as I read it some years ago but I signed up for Dangerous Liaisons. I was familiar with the plot, having watched the amazing adaptation (and the other, less than amazing one), but I still enjoyed the book a great deal. Receiving the letters in my inbox was a new and fun experience.
VII. Disappointments! Let's have some of those. The Glass Hotel: found it bleak and dull; DNF'ed it but I might return to it when I've got the energy for a slow story. Wilder Girls: not quite a disappointment but it could've done a lot more with that unique premise. Time Is A Mother (poetry collection): sacrilegious perhaps, but Vuong's Night Sky with Exit Wounds is unparalleled and this one suffers in comparison. Alix E Harrow has turned out to be a hit-or-miss author for me after all. Although I loved the first installment of her fairytale verse, I found A Mirror Mended lacked the depth of the first novella. Good but not memorable. And finally Nghi Vo's Into the Riverlands, the third novella of her Singing Hills Cycle, was OK. A decent read but nothing more.
VIII. I don't read non-fiction at all, it's really not my thing, unless it's books on the writing craft. I used to seek them out avidly, but not anymore. After going through a couple dozen of these books, you realise they all start sounding alike. That being said, writing craft books can be motivating during times of block and often you might find a few gems of advice that can be very inspiring. This year I only read one such book (Writing 21st Century Fiction by D. Maas), which was nothing ground-breaking but included a few exercises that I'm eager to try.
What were your fave reads of 2022? Let me know or tag me, I'm very curious about the books people love.
