Snippet:

Alexandrina and Asa walked down the airship docks, Alex looking for someone specific. Instead, she found the dockmaster, and crossed over to his small stand. “Ms. McLelland. And here I thought I had seen the last of you,” he said, coolly. “Never, Mr. Thomas. Is Captain Sparks’ ship in?” “You know I cannot answer that, miss.” “And you know that there are more than a few people who would be very interested to hear of your involvement in the recent trial.” “Really? What involvement, do tell.” “Nothing much, truly. Bribery, lying under oath, that sort of thing.” The dockmaster’s scowl deepened. “Dock thirty-three.” “Thank you.” Alex smiled thinly, and began the long walk to the very end of the wooden pier that jutted out into the open air. As they walked away, Asa asked, “Do you have blackmail on every official in the city? He was about the fourth person I’ve seen you do that to.” “Oh, no, only about half of them.” “Ah,” said Asa, in a manner that implied he still thought that was an absurd amount of people to have blackmail material on.

Notes: It was a lot of typing up and editing stuff again today, but I did add some new things (blackmail discussions and Alex's fear of heights, specifically) so I'm pretty proud of what I did. I didn't write as much as I did yesterday, but I still went over the goal, and I'm glad about that, cause I have two marking period (1/4 of the school year) tests coming up in a couple weeks (14th (physics) & 15th (algebra 2) of november) and I want to have a couple hundred words worth of buffer in case I only get like 70 words on those days.

Trevor Hills being Pathetic Blorbo #1 and your enjoyment of him being said Pathetic Blorbo #1 just adding on to the games pre-existing meta commentary is,, so good. They made him as miserable as possible and god it really worked.

i know the whole "do you think jon ever used his powers to Know what his parents looked like" thing is far more devastating than this but what if he tried using his powers to remember original sasha? jon and sasha always seemed closer than the rest, he picked her (and tim) to work with him and tolerated a lot more nonsense from her than anyone else (using his password to access his computer [161], debating his pronunciation of calliope [25], etc)

and ofc jon and martin became significantly closer as the podcast went on, but in the beginning he was cruel to martin when he gave a statement but accepting of sasha? idk i think their friendship was a lot deeper than we realized (ESPECIALLY since his first murder in season 5 was because NotThem provoked him about sasha) and i think jon wouldve used his powers to Know the original sasha, not sure if it wouldve worked though

so so sorry to distract from the post but can yall read the tags for me because i suffered immensely for this post

youve heard of sex flowers get ready for the flower that makes you into a celestial shoujo herione complete with particle effects you cannot turn the fuck off and creates a wifebeam so powerful it can incapacitate and maim and keeps making you burst into tears and fall on your ass which makes the wifebeam More Powerful and you also cannot turn this off either. and is also still, sort of, a sex flower

from one of my favorite fanfictions, Celestial Afterglow by elanor_pam, a fic that defies description in the best possible way

Yknow when I first saw Chronos i couldn't quite take him seriously bc he's... he's a twink. who gave him that tiny tiny waist and those birthgiving hips? why is he built like that? i expected a giant or something, i mean the big 3 brothers are built ykno their father should be big muscly guy too right?? and then i realized he's got an hourglass shape and. 😶

my bad supergiant u are right. titan of time. hourglass. titan of time? hourglass. checks out ✓ he is hourglass shaped. an hourglass. ⌛that. that is him. titan of time alright. hourglass

but still that tiny waist

weirdest part of this fandom is remembering there's people who weren't watching from the beginning it confuses me every time

So, I have proof that the universe (or at least magnum) ships jegulus:

im rewatching that fucking scene from The Name again and i need to put my HEAD. through the DRYWALL. im SCREAMING

Just saw the Super Mario Bros movie.

Don’t watch it, i give it a 0/10, Bowser and Luigi didn’t kiss even once

Am I the only one who realized how really f***ed up the Alliance was?

we forgot to post this the other day but its THEM, blake immediately thought of @laurelwen's post abt past lives when he saw this

(collage, made by @ultravioletness)

simply will not get over how delicious (no pun intended) cannibalism as a an allegory in queer media is. the shame. the forbidden. the dirty. the yearning, the obession, the self loathing. the doomed.

Reginald Copperbottom is so well characterised for a guy who wasn't even named when back in the day?? He's an coward that'll turn tail and run the moment danger approaches. He'll give up the leadership of his entire organisation just to survive another day, but ALSO he'll give it up to anyone who truly proves their dedication to the clan. He'll rant and incite a revolution about honour and underhandedly kill someone out of spite (twice). He'll throw his gun to a stranger who's also wanted. He's definitely gay for his right hand man who he brought back from the dead. Do you see what I'm getting at here
