nowen vampire au gives a whole new context to owen's "lunchbox" nickname.

imagine lucifer shrinking himself so small he could fit in the palm of your hand

he doesn’t want to interact with anyone else or do anything today… but he doesn’t want to be alone either. you, on the other hand, have a rather busy schedule

“why, i have the perfect solution!”

there’s a burst of of red smoke, a cloud of it that lingers and fills the room. your hand dips slightly and when you look, sure enough, lucifer is there in all his adorable glory. you sit him on your shoulder or slide him into the breast pocket on your shirt or just carry him in your hands! all day!

he’ll whisper jokes or about someone’s appearance in a rude attempt to make you giggle. people stare at you like you’re crazy when he succeeds. he kisses all over whichever side of your face he’s closest to. “there’s so much more of you to love now!”

lucifer’s actually reluctant to change back when you’re done with your errands. all you have to do is pout and say you miss holding him in your arms, he’s back to normal in a jiffy and hugging you close

“that was fun! ..but i missed this too.” he chuckles, pressing his lips to yours

Ok, this was funny but now I want Chanse and Angela to recreate the wedding photoshoot lmao

zoro and luffy got married a while back and never bothered to tell anyone. nami knows because she was there but hasnt told anyone because theyre both insufferable. usopp found out when he saw them makeout in a closet or something on the merry (he shut the door and ran to nami looking for answers). by the time they reach wano almost everyone on the crew knows that theyre married except sanji who found out after zoro and luffy kissed at the celebration party.

Imagining the hilarity of being in the One Piece world with a history of working in childcare. Like can you imagine accidentally slipping into a teacher voice or something with someone like…. ZORO. BUGGY? Or god forbid even, like, CROCODILE? SHANKS???

What do you mean you like a crazy murderer? You shouldn´t do that! (but also same)/j

Mmm the femenine urge to use your boyfriend's slippers even when yours are right beside them??

(ALSO I know the picture is supposed to be on Mario's butt not the front but aslkdalsd)

Kindaaa NSFW-ish?? Imagine this is the morning after the first time they slept together whhw (didn't really go beyond kissing and heavy petting btw aksjdsa)

Also, with that in mind, Mario's soul left him for some good seconds because he forgot which boxers he put on that day (they're his lucky ones!!) and Peach looked at them like 👁️👄👁️... for a long while after she just lowered his overalls, on her knees in front of him🧍but it all turned out good 👍

Also he has the peach fruit boxers that has the image in the back and Peach loves when he wears those ajskdjsad (image under the cut of the boxers ahdjdh)

Needlessly obsessed with the fact that we have such a specific given time for The Hunchback of Notre Dame (January 6th, 1482) when we don’t have that for many other Disney films, it gives it an interesting kind of historical fiction element

The wars that Phoebus returns home from are (possibly?) the Burgundian Wars and the War of the Burgundian Succession. Although he remarks “You leave town for a couple of decades and they change everything” so he may have fought in some earlier wars too

Also, Esmeralda’s line that “I bet the king himself doesn’t have a view like this” makes me wonder… where’s the king during all of this? Probably off fighting the Habsburgs?

Ok but imagine a scenario where one of Louis XI’s messengers tells him about Frollo burning down Paris and he’s like “he did WHAT to my city?!”

live footage of Louis XI returning to France

It's Friday, I'm in love.

so… listen… am i crazy or do we think vox needs to get dressed like a polly pocket

I’m working on the last part of Flustered to post tomorrow BUT I have a question for you all…

I’ve been trying to learn how to make edits. Let’s say I make a Tiktok account to post edits with original dialogue from previous/upcoming fics, sort of like teaser trailers for my fics…would anyone actually be into that?

I added a very rough example below 🫣

Scarab having niece hc are getting in my brain

They are cousins (sorry I don't make the rules)

Characters by: @toothpastecomics @s1x-foot-deep

ace falling for sanji at first sight and trying to get his attention. sanji feeling shy at all the attention and getting confused. them stargazing in the desert huddled together because ace is a furnace, and the desert is cold. sharing a kiss under the stars, shy and excited. sanji doesn't back away from this feeling and embraces it. confusion cast aside because he knows he's starting to fall in love too. a tearful departure but a promise to meet again under the stars.

i think a lot of writers including me need to embrace the fact that sometimes your work is recognisably influenced by something and that's not a bad thing! i took the scent of magic from holly webb's rose series, my worldbuilding is inspired by leigh bardugo's six of crows, phillip pullman played a huge part in inspiring me to write grand, sweeping arcs like in his dark materials, tolkien made me want to write about travellers journeying across treacherous land, the list goes on and on and on. and i hope that people can see some influences in my work, that means i'm doing it well! and they stretch all the way back to when i was a tween just getting into fantasy and "grown up" books. would love to hear about who has inspired other people's writing: if you write gothic, what books have you infused your work with? fellow fantasy writers, what have you borrowed and tweaked from?

I'm sorry (not really) that I keep going over the legal issues in hotd, but it's stronger than me. The problem over the inheritance, over the Iron Throne, between Rhaenyra and Aegon comes way before their birth. It starts with the Great Council.

Jahaerys made a fucking great mistake by asking the Lords "which one should be my heir?". He gave them power and made them realize that, without dragons, House Targaryen was the shittiest one. So they chose the weaker heir, of course. And Viserys, being the idiot that he was, felt indebted towards the Lords. (Remind you, "peaceful" is just a synonym of "Don't bother")

Now, after Aemma's murder, Viserys was between his brother or his daughter. We all know the history: Daemon is a menace, let's be radical and name a woman as heir! And let's also do a ceremony where everyone swears fealty to the new heir! Great! Wait, did anyone keep a record of that? Is there a paper signed? I mean, words are carried by the wind...

When the King has a son, he doesn't announce a change in the succession line, and that is where Viserys has the whole fault: he wanted to be in good terms with God and the Devil. He knew that the Lords wanted his son as heir (he himself had set the precedent), but, despite having all the power, he didn't have the "heart" to displace his eldest child as heir. He Pontius Pilato'ed the matter and died without a resolution.

Now, the Realm is in chaos. Who's the true heir? Well, the Lords say that they swore an oath to Rhaenyra. But! But! There's the Great Council precedent, Salic Law, but they don't hold the power to establish a new monarch. They can't act since there's no Council. We need the word of the king. And who's better than the Queen to come with the word of the king and say, "My son is the heir"?

(Remember Borros Baratheon, his tongue was quicker than his mind. "The House of the Dragon does not know who is its true ruler." He sells himself and his house to the one with more chances of winning, and he already knows that his fellow lords will not support Rhaenyra.)

The problem is that, despite being Valyrian and having other customs and laws, the Targaryen failed as conquerors because they never imposed their beliefs. If they had blended their laws and Westeros' common law, in a sort of ius gentium way, they would have had true power over the Lords and wouldn't have faced this issue.

Jahaerys wouldn't have needed to call a Great Council settling a precedent, and the Lords wouldn't have an excuse to impose the Salic Law.
