this year i think i really figured out that I shouldn't just read classic works/academia stuff bc it sometimes doesn't spark joy and I need joy to read, like I re-read the hunger games trilogy while I was down with covid for the first time in 13 years and finished it super quickly because the words are so simple and the writing is so clean and contrite almost to the point that it wasn't enjoyable because I felt I wasn't being challenged.
I remember when I first read the series at like 12-13 how gripping the story was. I read THG for class and would go home and read every night until I finished, then I went out and bought the second book, because I was so crazy to know what happened next. I've always liked Collins' sense of pacing and ending every single chapter with a gut punch, because you're just like ooh what's gonna happen next, I need to turn the page.
anyway, that's all to say that I read TBOSAS for the first time while on covid bed rest and it was a joy to feel that feeling again and she's the only writer who's ever gripped, dare i say, ensnared, me with needing to know what happens next. like i cannot live, i cannot breathe if i do not know how it ends. so that's how i figured out i need to read more contemporary books.

I'm the Silver Tongues anon and I can ensure you my cognitive abilities are at least as sharp as yours :) Like those 14-16 year olds, you seem to think that everything Louis does is layered and nuanced and oh-so-deep. But in Silver Tongues, the lyric is straightforward,. It is what it is.
anon when they find out that straight forward lyrics when looked at in the context of the entire song as a whole can have layered and nuanced meaning and invoke multiple emotions in people who are able to look past the obvious

Thinking bout Tei doing the whole meeting w Tulius and Ulfric for the peace treaty thing and like
Tei went to the latter first n there was... plenty resistance (seeing as the Argonian had some history w the Nords of Windhelm. There's a few less of em harassing the Dunmer now is all I'll say)
But Tei being all to okay with abusing their powers prepped for this beforehand by using Bend Will on a pair of dragons to fly over and attack the main part of the city. And they just sat there waiting for an agreement before slaying em both. And they were gonna do the same strat in Solitude but Elisif (who is more involved in the whole CW thing in my universe) immediately agreed to it before any convincing needed to be had.
Needless to say tensions at the council were high and not exactly between the Empire and Stormcloaks like in game

I'm considering writing a part two to deeper in lemms shop. Just to clarify, you only accept regurgitation of prey, right?
Well I'd say go for it. Your L/emm fic already has more actual notes than mine got lol (tbf, yours has a more interesting concept, whereas mine is basically 2k words of generic vore fluff). I personally would be interested in a continuation; you've proven to have some pretty unique ideas. Not all, but some ;) /lh /hj
And for the question, that's the end result I'm most comfortable with. I'd maybe be okay with another option or two, so long as it remains classified as nonsexual and safe. like I'd maybe be okay with digestion and reformation, if the digestion doesn't go into too much detail. plus h/k already has a built-in mechanic for how Ghost could come back, so
