IT WAS YOU
And the night sits with a stillness that I have never known—heightened by a flame seen only by four eyes or was it two, burning for a reason to keep my candle lit.
We stared, I stared.
Disbelief, amazed.
The night silent, the wind cool.
A stare eternal and then gone.
What does it mean—this onyx passion riding in white...floating on air, leaving me again?
My mind flickers,
haunted by a past, recalling,
whose heart fills mine.
Am I seeing things?
Am I seeing things, again?

I love the way black boys look with flowers. The viewer remembers that our masculinity can be as soft as it can be thorny.
Flowers can bloom in adversity and so can we. I wonder what blossoms would appear next spring if we nutute black men? I wonder how many more would bloom if nutured black women?
I love flowers and I love black boys.

LOKI
Tumblr media
WHO IS HE?
Loki is the Norse God of mischief and trickery. He is known for his unpredictable and manipulative nature, which frequently involves playing practical jokes or pranks on other Gods, mortals, and giants. He is also the God of fire, and he has a strong connection to the underworld and the realm of the dead. Loki is often portrayed as a shapeshifter who can take on the form of various animals, including snakes, foxes, bats, and even horses. He is also often associated with fire, creativity, innovation, and destruction.
BASIC INFO:
Appearance: his appearance in Norse mythology can vary greatly, depending on the source. In some depictions, he is described as being a tall and handsome male figure with red hair and a beard. In other depictions, he is described as being a more feminine or androgynous character, with long and straight red hair, along with smooth and pale skin.
Personality: Loki is a clever and devious character, known for his ability to manipulate and deceive others with his cunning and wit. He is also known for his unpredictable nature, his tendency to get himself into trouble, and his proclivity for causing chaos and disorder. He is often seen as a trickster and a troublemaker, who enjoys creating disruption and chaos.
Symbols: serpents, wolves, ax, raven, masks, fire, Bjarken and Logr Runes, fishing nets, earthquakes, infinity snake and ouroboros, number 8, chaos star, runes that spell out his name: Laguz, Othala, Kenaz, Isa as well as the rune Hagalaz, and Helmet of Dread or the Helmet of Horror
God of: mischief and trickery
Culture: Norse and Germanic
Plants and trees: mistletoe, birch, common Haircap moss (Loki’s Oats), bentgrass (Loki’s Grass), cinnamon, dandelion, beech, blackthorn, elder, elm, ivy, juniper, mullein, thistle, mint, holly, cedar, juniper, elder, clove, patchouli, tobacco, willow, and yew
Crystals: jade, obsidian, sapphire, amethyst, garnet, citrine, black tourmaline, serpentine, carnelian, fire opal, and black onyx
Animals: salmon, birds (crows, ravens, falcon, and vultures), flies, goats, flea, horses, wolves, foxes, and spiders
Incense: dragon's blood, frankincense, myrrh, patchouli, and basil
Colours: green, gold, black, violet, yellow, orange, and red

Planets: Mercury and Venus
Days: Thursday, Friday, Lokablót, April Fool’s Day, Yule, Autumn Equinox, Samhain, Friday the 13th, the 13th of each month, and Lokabrenna Day
Parents: Fárbauti and Laufey
Siblings: Odin (blood brother), Helblindi, and Býleistr
Partners: Angrboda, Sigyn, and Svadilfari (a horse), and Glut
Children: Fenrir, Jörmungandr, Hel, Váli, Narfi, and Sleipnir (Odin’s horse)
MISC:
• Fire: Wagner combined Loki with Logi, the fire god, in his Ring Cycle. And ever since, Loki has been associated with fire and magic  in pop culture. There are some very iffy pieces of evidence that Loki might have had some historical connection with fire (e.g., the Snaptun stone and medieval folklore about the Ash Lad) but the scholarly consensus is “Nope, blame Wagner.” That said, fire, with its dual roles of creation and destruction, enlightenment and passion, is a pretty potent symbol for Loki even if it doesn’t have a historical basis.
• Red hair: Loki’s hair colour is never mentioned in the lore, and there are some illuminated Icelandic manuscripts in which he is shown as a blond or brunette. The fire god mistake mentioned above probably popularized the redhead image. (Interestingly, Thor is canonically a redhead.)
• Fishing Nets: in Gylfaginning, Loki weaves a fishing net while on the lam and hiding from the Aesir. (The story kind of implies it’s the first fishing net, although Ran is also credited with inventing them elsewhere.) Loki turns into a salmon to escape but ends up being caught with his own creation,
• Earthquakes: the prose epilogue to Lokasenna claims that earthquakes are caused by Loki writhing in pain when Sigyn leaves to empty her venom-catching bowl.
• Masks: while Odin, not Loki, takes the name of Grímnir (the masked one) in the lore, masks are a fairly logical thing to associate with a shapeshifter.
FACTS ABOUT LOKI:
• Name: Loki is named after the Norse word "loki," which means "mischief maker" or "trickster."
• Role: in Norse mythology, Loki is known as a chaotic and mischievous figure who frequently causes problems for the God’s.
• Relationships: the son of the frost giant Fárbauti and the giantess Farbauti, and is the brother of the Goddess Hel.
• Origin: he is a Jötunn or giant who is the son of the Jötunn Fárbauti, which means "dangerous strike."
• Associations: Loki is connected to the realms of chaos and trickery and is often seen as a troublemaker and instigator of conflict.
• Connection to Thor: he is the half-brother of Thor, and has several encounters with the god of thunder. In one famous example, Loki tries to trick Thor into drinking a powerful liquor called "Módrunar," which causes him to become extremely drunk.
• Powers: he is a powerful deity with a wide range of abilities, including shapeshifting, sorcery, illusions, and knowledge.
• Association with Trickery: Loki is closely associated with the concept of trickery, often utilizing his skills as a master manipulator to cause trouble for the God’s.
HOW TO WORSHIP LOKI:
The best way to worship Loki respectfully is to approach him with sincere devotion and reverence. He is a god of mischief and chaos, so a certain level of humor is appropriate when working with him, but that doesn't mean you should take him lightly or treat his power with disrespect. To worship him respectfully, make an offering, either something tangible or a gesture like writing a poem or performing an act of mischief and chaos in his name. Be genuine and open in your intention, and don't be afraid to get a little mischievous yourself.
Some ways to worship Loki include:
• Doing things that embody his energy and traits, such as pranks or mischief
• Making offerings to him, whether physical or spiritual
• Creating a dedicated altar space
• Studying and researching Norse mythology, particularly his role in it
• Performing rituals and spell casting to seek his guidance and insight
• Meditating on his energy and listening for a response
• Performing acts of chaos and destruction

HOW TO PRAY TO LOKI:
To begin, you can address him by name and say something like:
"Great God Loki, bringer of chaos and master of deceit, I come to you seeking guidance and destruction. I offer my heart and spirit and ask for your blessing in this pray.”
"Thank you, Great God Loki, for listening to my words and walking by my side on this journey. I leave this altar/ritual space in your hands, and I ask for your protection and mischief wherever I may go."

DEVOTIONAL ACTS FOR LOKI:
• Challenge authority figures and shake things up
• Break rules and defy expectations
• Live a life of surprises and twists

• Don’t take yourself too seriously.
• Be the devil’s advocate.

• Indulge in art or create art. (Loki loves it when people dive deeply into their creative fire. He also rewards them for it)
• Live life to the fullest.
• Light a candle for him the moment you wake up and during bedtime. (I personally found out that he likes red and green candle but if those are not available, white can suffice).
• Burn some incense (cinnamon, sandalwood and dragon’s blood are some of Loki’s favorites but if he tells you otherwise, it’s okay).

• Be unpredictable and keep your friends on their toes.
• Push your boundaries and experiment with your boundaries.

• Collect toys that you will both enjoy.
• Play board or video games.
• Cook meals and eat with him (cook whatever meal catches your fancy and then eat at his altar).
• Hoard jokes, puns and memes (VERY IMPORTANT! Loki loves his humour but in good taste. He seems to dislike and would often refute humor made in bad taste like triggering and racist jokes).
IS IT SAFE TO EAT OR DRINK AN OFFERING I GIVE TO HIM?
Yes, it is generally considered safe to consume or drink offerings you give to Loki. The concept of eating or drinking offerings in worship is a way of bringing a deity's energy and power into your own body. Consuming or drinking an offering can strengthen your bond with the deity and help you gain their insight and guidance. However, it's important to be mindful of what the offering is and whether or not it is safe for consumption. Depending on the offering, it may be necessary to prepare it in a specific way in order for it to be safe to consume.

Völuspá
here is a thought. I can't be bothered to make this pretty so bear with me here.
Hosab ended with Azriel taking Bryce to the Town house which was empty in Acosf. Nobody lived there.
He gave no warning as he hauled her over a shoulder and tromped down a set of stairs before entering somewhere … nice-smelling. Roses? Bread? They ate bread in Hel? Had flowers? A dark, cold world, the Asteri had said in their notes on the planet. (hosab)
“But why live in this dump, when the town house was sitting empty?” (Acosf)
But in hosab there is clearly someone living there with the fireplace going and the house smelling like bread and roses. The question is who? (I made a post about how it might be Elain living there.) and how sarah is going to tackle this crossover in acotar world?
my take on this is that sarah seems to LOVE Norse myth and heavily inspired by it. There is a famous poem in Norse myth called Völuspá.
Vǫluspá (also Völuspá, Vǫlospá or Vǫluspǫ́; Old Norse: 'Prophecy of the völva, a seeress') is the best known poem of the Poetic Edda. It tells the story of the creation of the world and its coming end and subsequent rebirth, related to the audience by a völva addressing Odin. It is one of the most important primary sources for the study of Norse mythology. The poem is preserved whole in the Codex Regius and Hauksbók manuscripts while parts of it are quoted in the Prose Edda.
The poem is told by Völva(a seeress) to Odin about the creation of the world, it is end and rebirth.
who is a seer? Elain.
What created the acotar world? Cauldron
Who is cauldron obsessed with? Elain.
Who is rebirth? Elain. (?) if we take the book of breathings prophecy as Feyre= Life, Nesta=Death
Life and death and rebirth Sun and moon and dark Rot and bloom and bones Hello, sweet thing. Hello, lady of night, princess of decay. Hello, fanged beast and trembling fawn. Love me, touch me, sing me.
So is she gonna use Elain's book to tackle this creation of the world and it's end and "rebirth"? Does Elain's book take place before cc3 or it is gonna happen at the same timeline?
Now that's out of the way. We have Odin right? Völva tells the story to Odin.
In the poem Völva tells something to Odin about his eye.
The seeress then reveals to Odin that she knows some of his own secrets, and that he sacrificed an eye in pursuit of knowledge. She tells him she knows where his eye is hidden and how he gave it up in exchange for knowledge. She asks him in several refrains if he understands, or if he would like to hear more.
Does it seem familiar? In koschei tales koschei hides his "soul" and there is a whole thing about it.
The most common feature of tales involving Koschei is a spell which prevents him from being killed. He hides his soul inside nested objects to protect it. For example, the soul (or in the tales, it is usually called "death") may be hidden in a needle that is hidden inside an egg, the egg is in a duck, the duck is in a hare, the hare is in a chest, the chest is buried or chained up on a far island. Usually he takes the role of a malevolent rival father figure, who competes for (or entraps) a male hero's love interest.
And in Acowar Elain knows about Koschei's box of black stone.
Elain paused halfway up the stairs. Slowly, she turned to look back at him. “I saw young hands wither with age. I saw a box of black stone. I saw a feather of fire land on snow and melt it.”
Elain shifted her face toward him. Another blink. “They sold her—to … to some darkness, to some … sorcerer-lord …” She shook her head. “I can never see him. What he is. There is an onyx box that he possesses, more vital than anything … save for them. The girls. He keeps other girls—others so like her—but she … By day, she is one form, by night, human again.”
Another thing in the poem is that there is horn.  Heimdallr's horn, Gjallarhorn.
Later in Völuspá, the völva foresees the events of Ragnarök and the role in which Heimdall and Gjallarhorn will play at its onset; Heimdall will raise his horn and blow loudly.
Heimdall's horn, which will announce the final battle, is hidden under the sacred tree, where we find another curious object, Odin's eye.
Who has the horn tattooed to her body and fell to Acotar world? Bryce.
That's about it. Looks like Sarah wants to write Ragnarok :))))))))))

All of the Undesirable Things
A piece of prose about Mercykill before she became who she was as Queen of the Dread Pirates and her relationship with Dreadshadow through the context of things in the world she loves.
Tumblr media
"What do you even see in her?" Her brother's rude statement nearly draws her eyes up from her paper. It's nothing new in the household, everyone questioning why her. Why the rogue. It's not that they had a problem with her, of course, no, there was no problem! Which is what they always said before asking the same question again. Why, though? It wasn't that they disliked Dreadshadow, she was relatively harmless if not a bit chaotic... no, no, I don't think she's weird! She's just... not anything like who we thought you'd be interested in, is all. She's loud-mouthed, arrogant, she's a fighter- what about Thermal down at the meteorology station, she's a large aircraft too and she's a well known scientist. No, no, it's fine she doesn't have a function, of course, but why her? 
 She starts to collect her papers instead of following her brother to another conversational dead end and as she stands, her eyes lock with him.
 "Do you want to question my love of the salt marshes too?" Her reasons are held on her tongue but she keeps them there with her teeth. His eyes dart away in submission and she pushes past him. 
The marshes are not good for writing a thesis in but she prefers fighting off swarms of bugs to their swarm of judgements. They were the upholders of Onyx Prime's archive, so of course, they had a high standard. Her aunt was from Cybertron, a student of Onyx, and her uncle was a sailor from when the Titans were more than dying off legends... it wasn't that Dreadshadow was a Transformer, it was that she wasn't the right kind.
She had no purpose or function. She wasn't some starcrossing valiant or a trader. She played pranks on passersby in the swamps when she rose out of the marsh with a bellow. She would sneak into matches to interrupt them. They didn’t want someone, who’s most recent disruption was breaching onto the floating arena and sending two fighters flying into the ocean, courting their daughter. Forget whatever the daughter’s desires or wants or needs are because if it went further than a fling then it would include Dreadshadow into their heritage. This wasn't someone they wanted to be attached to Onyx Prime's legacy... but they were attached to the prestige of the Prime and not her works. She had devoured every page of it, about the connections between them and a Transformer, and she was convinced that Onyx would like Dreadshadow. 
A spaceship Transformer, abandoned for one reason or another after her first activation, who learned to adapt to the marshes. Her foundational routines and behaviors informed by the biome she was left in. No one took her in though some tried to provide for her, they couldn't house a nearly forty foot tall Transformer (so they claimed) and Dreadshadow did not trust people. Why would she, after all? Her experience was informed by crocodiles and frogs and a mysterious creator who left her wandering an environment that was harsh on mechanical lifeforms. Yet, she became a part of it. Her mimicry of the wild life was getting better and better and still she stretched more and more. She wanted something else to take the form of, she would say with a big grin and she'd leave the air open for a suggestion.
Tumblr media
"A whole hive of Helian wasps." she would answer just to watch Dreadshadow's grin get bigger.
"I think I would get more annoying, I'd buzz around your home all day. I'd make colonies in your rafters. I'd eat your books." Her most favorite threat of all. Devouring all of the legacy of Onyx Prime and the long lineage of books her family maintained of students and apprentices to the students and of themselves. Their names proudly shining among the greats and they were great. She thought Dreadshadow was great.
 "Transformation is inevitable for all things, even archives." And the sharp features would soften in a way that erases the years of roguish living. "And I like the sound of their wings. Even when they swarm." 
"It would be fun to swarm a match." she would say... but she still hadn't decided and a hive was a hard thing to replicate. She'd suggest ticks, termites, and water striders. Then Dreadshadow would threaten to be a plague on her home and she would answer with what about those things she liked. Everything in a marsh held value in their niche. No matter how undesirable or perceived as unimportant the creepies and crawlies were to people it did not change the fact that the ecosystem balanced delicately on the populations it contained. She never missed how Dreadshadow looked when she started on a rant about how someone had tried to propose an extermination of mosquitoes through genetic sterilization because they were "an annoyance" and they did not care about what the insects supported in their own ecosystem. There was a certain nobility to a creature that was minding its business and she often wished that certain people would take up the same noble behaviors.
They never did go further with the proposal but she also had heard the person who proposed it was nearly devoured by a giant crocodile and rather than exterminate the annoyance- which may or may not have been related to them wanting to build seaside property- they moved back to the city further inland. Though she knew mosquitoes were present there, she knew crocodiles were in short supply.
The best way to write her thesis was under the shelter of a spider colony. Thick white webs connected all the trees and she never felt afraid to sit under them. She would draw prey for them and they would in exchange, let her finish her writing in peace. Smaller, bolder spiders would land on her shoulders and crawl her blouse and her arm; some would crawl across her page but would be shooed with a little touch of her finger. The larger ones would explore and she would stop in her writing to appreciate the yellow and white stripes across the black carapace. 
 She was serene within her solitude for all she ever had to do was wait. Straining to listen for any movement in the water, vibrations against the stump she sat on, any soft thwack of mud on metal... but the one she waits for moves as silently as her name. 
 "I needed my knights." Raising her hand she offers a perch to one of the larger spiders who was sitting on her shoulder. They take a moment and then crawl over, under her hand, down her wrist, exploring... patrolling. 
 "In your castle again?" She doesn't jump at the voice, expecting it, and she smiles. She looks up to Dreadshadow, a mountain of metal plate and scales, resting on the muddy shore with those bright eyes staring at her. 
"Which one of them this time?" Dreadshadow's exasperation was something she wished she could express more freely when under the judgment of her family... but this was her castle and its woven walls kept her far from them. She lets it out in a ragged sigh of frustration. 
 "My oh so concerned brother who wants to know what I see in you."
 "Did you tell him it was my 30,000 pounds of mechanical might and how you want to mangle your hands in all my bits and pieces?" The sweetness in her voice, the fluttering of the crocodilian eyes, draws out a snort and then a little laugh.
 "Almost." 
 "You should be more vulgar. They'll stop asking questions when they're concerned about the logistics of us connecting cables." A part of her that was raised in the family's concerns balks at the idea of saying anything of the sort but the part of her that was growing as wild as the thickets of the marshes laughs at the idea. What if she was so bold? What if she could live forever in webbed castles and her eight-legged knights. 
"Perhaps I should be." Words meant to push the fantasy down. She can't save marshes and insects by running away into them. She has to walk the life of an archivist and conservationist. She rests her chin in her unknighted hand and lets the fondness creep into her face like the little squires on the thesis forgotten in her lap. 
 "What form do you think I should try next?" Dreadshadow asks, as she always does, and somehow gets the maw of her form to look coy and playful in its rigid metal. 
 "Why not one of these spiders? You would scare so many gladiators with all your beautiful legs." She offers the one on the back of her hand. 
 "I would... and I could make you a manor out of webs for you to stay in. I could be your captain of the guard and the dragon that holds you hostage from all those annoying questions."
She stands up and carefully brushes her knights and squires off as she steps closer to Dreadshadow. She climbs up one of the crocodilian arms to sit on the expanse of her plated back. They slip into the water together, a boat, an island, to clear the marsh with. Over in the distance, hidden by a sandbar she can see the ocean. The air is salty and muggy, undesirable, and yet she desires it. It's hard to bear parts - the insects, the smell, the air, the vermin- exist free and in spite of everyone who would question why they need to. 
 "Doesn't your brother like to go sailing?" Dreadshadow's voice is tinged with the same tone of mischief she gets when she's told when and where the next match is. Her own little rebellion as no one expects the archivist's favorite fighter to be the disrupter. 
Tumblr media
Standing on the top the city area, cloaked in the darkness, with only those optics glittering like copper-core stars. Her sails open up to make herself look bigger, wider, as her laugh echoes in the night. Her orphanhood, her guideless life on display, the hard to bear parts all as performance, as presence, as she announces her challenge. She exists in spite of the questions. 
 "Often." She answers and feels an amused rumble under the plates.
 "I've been thinking of going sailing too." 
And so had she.

'You are my moon.'
The simple set of words tumbled endless within the depths of his head, turning them around as though he would find some grand secret if he kept examining it long enough. A long tail coiled and swept, each ligament and bone effortlessly moving in a seamless wave as Broly vexed himself once more in the silence of his own solace. Idle shifts of paper hushed as rough fingers slowly flipped though the pages of one of the books he had stashed, taking the time to examine every detailed photograph of plants held within the pages.
Only once had he heard that phase and have be known to him of it's significance as meant by Saiyans. A deep devotion, an unshakable adoration without the needless weaknesses of verbal prose. The best thing was that he could actually push it past the enamel of his fangs without getting caught in his throat. However, something else needed to be added. Words meant little when there isn't an act to go with it. Anyone can say any word they like but to go through with intention was to bring substance to those words.
Colors of various hues and saturations bled across the onyx orbs of his eyes, taking his time to be picky and go for something that he's seen around or at least might be found within the region he staked his territory to.
Something from this world would please her...
Earthling courtship involved flowers from what he observed, easily bought and sold but he planned for something directly from the wilderness itself. No other human's worthless hands tainted the stems or petals, their stupid ideals to pick certain ones over others were scorned in his mind. It needed to be untamed, unseen by many and yet also appease some sense of beauty instead of appearing as though it were some common weed. The only thing he'd prefer was if the flowers were nocturnal.. but that was a shame as the only planet that had such a wide variety was long gone to the cosmos.
Whatever.. humans couldn't appreciate what the moon meant anyway.
Another huff exhaled, continuing to thumb through the pages as visages of the moon and the phrase uttered itself quietly in his skull. Slowly, the hues of those beautiful eyes came into his mind's eye, captivating his attention with a flower holding that same color..

starting a new project
The liminal space between an old project and a new project.
A few days ago I finished collating the first draft of page of swords into one document by importing all the individual documents I had accumulated over the course of NaNoWriMo into one Scrivener file. It was a tiring process, to say the least. And disheartening. When I stepped back to see all of the scene cards laid out, what had once been a monolith was now bone-thin.
It shouldn’t have been a surprise. I had cut so many scenes in my race to finish the novel before the close of the month. It’s kind of silly because I didn’t finish the story by November 30, in the end, anyway. The 50,000-word goal was accomplished, but I still had the fourth act (the dénouement where the characters return to a more familiar setting, changed) to write.
Because of this, I didn’t take a break from the draft in December, ready to leap back into it with fresh eyes in the new year. Instead, I worked (less furiously) to reach those magnificent words—’the end’—which I typed out at twenty-to-midnight, December 31.
While I relished working at a more leisurely pace that allowed me to flesh the prose out and tune it the way I wanted to, it gave me no room to breathe. It’s interesting. That something can continue to inspire you, but your mental energy does not keep pace with your creativity. For example, I added two epilogue chapters in a moment of evil genius. Crushing, vivid, emotional chapters.
But now I can’t bring myself to work on it anymore. Which is good, since I am supposed to have stashed the printed manuscript in a dark drawer to collect cobwebs over a month by now.
So I come to where I am now: beginning something new. Among the cut scenes, some require writing and some I loved but they just didn’t fit. It is the latter that I have interest with. And looking at aesthetically curated images in my world setting Pinterest board. A perfect marriage.
the world—I know it’s a cop-out name, but it’s simply a placeholder like the rest—is something a bit different than I have done. Looser. Less thought-out. I already have the basic plot of the rest of this series, and onyx spills afresh, mapped out in summary form at the least. But for the world, I made it on a whim. And that’s the same for all its contents. Bits and pieces of half-formed ideas my romantic brain has latched onto that I am collecting like scraps of paper.
I’ll admit quite freely: I enjoy painting pictures with words as much as with gouache. I probably do it as egregiously as Robert Jordan. So I will probably enjoy this change of pace immensely, and I don’t think anyone can complain about purple prose if that is the whole point of the piece.
To conclude, there is a gold nugget of truth in authors’ recommendations to let your first draft marinate—especially if it was written in the firestorm of a one-month writing challenge—and I am immensely excited to embark on my next project.
It’s like getting a new journal full of crisp, blank pages, in a way, after putting your lovingly worn Moleskine to rest on the shelf.

"Jewel of the May Sky"
Sensationally my mind wonders to you.
The mire mention of your name and I know
Your touch lingering for hours on end.
Your patron the sun &
Mine the sky.
I find you housed in me.
And I am whole...

Which book in the Kilo-Five trilogy do you hate the least?
The Thursday War.
Kilo Five is complicated for me because on a simple level, I hate the author a lot and find a lot of what is going on under the hood in there to be repugnant.
But the thing is, it's not all bad, a lot of the style of the prose is more entertaining than is average for Halo, and there are some genuinely interesting ideas and some sympathetic perspectives. I understand why a lot of people like Kilo Five.
The Thursday War has a lot of what I find interesting in it. (Mostly the stuff with Jul 'Mdama and Black Box and validating my discomfort with some of the protagonists, I guess.) I still don't like it necessarily, but it also lacks (mostly) Glasslands's really really bad handling of the characters on Onyx, and Mortal Dictata's efforts to make you feel like a horrible person for having fun reading Halo stories and also hey did you know that sometimes, suicide is the most noble thing to do? :)
The other thing that is not in Mortal Dictata's favor is that the Sangheili part of the story is over and it's all about the insurrection and it's really wild watching Traviss use one side of her mouth to talk about how government control is evil while she uses the other side of her mouth to keep talking about how ONI is the UNSC's necessary devil.
I'd rank them The Thursday War > Glasslands > Mortal Dictata.
