New Effloresce what if pov. Mor, because this was NOT what she expected to walk into. (She’s probably just as convinced as Feyre that Rhysand is right about everything)
oooo Mor is a tricky one!
So, from what I can tell, Mor can't be idiotic as she acts. But, probably because there's so much she can't bring herself to deal with for a whole host of reasons, she ignores A LOT.
Mor also seems like she DID have some contact with humans during the war and then...just went home? The books don't touch on this in a deep way, but we know she loved a lady who became a queen, and didn't want to watch her grown up and grow old, ect.
It's very romantic and sad and doomed queer lady love bullshit.
(sidenote. the way SJM did not for a second! a second! think through having her only lesbian character consistently coming onto people she has authority over? BAD. BAD BAD BAD human lady Cassian Azriel EMERIE BAD)
Right so, she loved her. But not in a I fought for this, I'll protect this human kingdom way. Mor's vibe TO ME, is more, keeping tabs, still thinking about what was chosen over her.
(see Azriel [acomaf Az because that's where Effloresce takes place anyway and it's the book Mor gets to be most like a person in]: Mor feels some kinda something over this dynamic. Az will go out BUT SHE HAS TO ASK. Cassian will ALWAYS BE THERE. There's this...specialness.)
Anyway, so all that in mind, you're Morrigan, and Feyre invites you to meet her sisters. You already said no, so you take a few days. Human lands suck. You hate how they treat their women (YOU LIVE IN A COUNTRY WHERE THERE ARE NO RULING WOMEN, MORRIGAN). You hate to see what could have been. You don't want to be reminded.
But you like Feyre.
You don't even mind that she's going to ascend to a throne when this is all over, no matter what Rhys is saying aloud. You want to be friends. So what, if you have to pretend a little. You can do that, you're great at that.
You winnow into chaos.
There's a fucking army.
There's Cassian, with a look on his face you've never actually seen, tipping everything sideways.
There's the hottest goddamn woman you've ever seen, who smells like firelight feels, talking to a bunch of fucking legionnaires like it's nothing.
And yeah, you thought Elain was about twelve. Twenty. Whatever, human and young.
Cassian doesn't laugh at your jokes. Cassian is standing there like he's waiting to be struck by lightening, and he keeps. staring. at Nesta. You have to give it to these humans, they're brave as hell to be getting close to Illyrians.
You leave, but you're not an idiot.
You bounce off the house like you've hit a brick wall.
You're truth, you're light, you can shine anywhere, but what's one light to a world of fire? A High Fucking Lord warded the Archeron's house.
And not Rhys.
Feyre, helpfully, finds you in the garden. You find, your arms locked together, you can walk in fine.
Blood magic.
Archeron blood in fucking magic.
You realize you're going to continue having a less than pleasant day.

"There was a reason a far simpler, kinder necromancy was still allowed. Still using the body and the bones, while still allowing the spirit to pass to either the Underwhere or the Overthere. A sign of great debt or punishment, to not allow the body to rest until their sentence had been served and their debts worked off. It was still quite a bit less cruel than watching the person themselves come undone, little by little. He didn’t regret outlawing the other practice, as most had opposed it long before he’d come into power. 
If only that meant Bowser could have kept the subject of his nightmares dead too. With any luck, he’d come undone on his own too, and those whispers amongst his people would be laid to rest with him."

I feel sick, which is great. I don't know if it's the weather fluctuation or something, but I feel like I have a sore throat and last night I had a popping ear. Also, I have lots of phlegm. But that's a common thing for me. But anyway, I really hope I'm not sick. That'd be just what I need, honestly.

This correlation won’t make sense because you do not know me irl but I baked two types of bread two types of cupcakes, two types of scones, and made a quasi strawberry butter.
This is a very good sign for my brain cooperating with me for the writing of the words in the near future.

[Continued from] @eathandhax
"Not exactly, but you're definitely givin' me some good ideas there. I might actually have to write that one down. Would add to the fun!"
What Hax didn't know was that he was very casual about his powers, from talking about them, using them out in the open. Could there be consequences for doing so? Of course, but that was part of the fun, really. The chaos of it all, so to speak.
Tumblr media
"That's the exact same vein that I operate in! I never cause any real harm or damage, 'sides if I do I fix things without people realizin' it. My twin says I'm Chaotic good like that."
He can admire a good strong, firm handshake--though what it means Melvin isn't certain. His sister would read about that kind of things, while he didn't have the time.
"Hax it is, then. Feel free to call me Melvin, Mel or anything really. My twin does, and I do the same to her." There's a pause as he wonders how far off the other has found themselves to be in. "Really? 'Ow old of a friend, if ya don't mind me askin'?"
There's a low laugh of his own at this
"Thank you all the same, but 'or some reason I feel Iike I should be welcomin' ya instead."

@sucksit​ sent “I’ve heard of you” (at Ihsan) from ‘Send “I’ve Heard Of You” For My Muse’s Reaction’ (still accepting)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There was a time in his life where it felt like that would have been a statement that would have made him smile. Between the adventures he’d been on for a numerous amount of TV channels and the small amount of modelling. But at the peak of all of it? Things went a little wrong.
His family always laughed about the legends that surrounded his great-great-great-great-- he could ‘great’ for an hour and feel like he wasn’t close to the right amount-- grand father. They took in stride the words that Lovecraft wrote about him-- and everyone just took it as another one of his disgustingly racist portrayals. Joking around about the Necronomicon-- the book of the dead that he kept with him. His birth rite-- his curse-- his burden.
He came upon it by chance-- it felt like some joke that one of his crew had done in bad taste. Making up an old book to look like the cursed tome. He should have said ‘no’. He should have drawn the line when they had visited where Abdul Alhazred’s work shop was said to be. Then he wouldn’t be having all these nightmares-- the burning gaze of the three lobed eye, the whispered curses of the deep dreamer, the two-faced niceties of the yellow king, the unending cacophony that kept everything as it was.
Dark eyes look up at her, it seemed like he hadn’t slept in days-- he hadn’t. Part of him started to wonder when she’d burst into eyes, tentacles, and teeth while gibbering on about ‘his house in R’lyeh where the dead old one dreams' or ‘dreams of lost Carcosa’ or ‘Innsmouth’ or ‘Dunwich’... He lets out a tired sigh with a weak smile tugging at the sides of his mouth.
“...you have to excuse me if I’m not so delighted that you have...”

You know what I realize that people underestimate with Pride & Prejudice is the strategic importance of Jane.
Because like, I recently saw Charlotte and Elizabeth contrasted as the former being pragmatic and the latter holding out for a love match, because she's younger and prettier and thinks she can afford it, and that is very much not what's happening.
The Charlotte take is correct, but the Elizabeth is all wrong. Lizzie doesn't insist on a love match. That's serendipitous and rather unexpected. She wants, exactly as Mr. Bennet says, someone she can respect. Contempt won't do. Mr. Bennet puts it in weirdly sexist terms like he's trying to avoid acknowledging what he did to himself by marrying a self-absorbed idiot, but it's still true. That's what Elizabeth is shooting for: a marriage that won't make her unhappy.
She's grown up watching how miserable her parents make one another; she's not willing to sign up for a lifetime of being bitter and lonely in her own home.
I think she is very aware, in refusing Mr. Collins, that it's reasonably unlikely that anyone she actually respects is going to want her, with her few accomplishments and her lack of property. That she is turning down security and the chance keep the house she grew up in, and all she gets in return may be spinsterhood.
But, crucially, she has absolute faith in Jane.
The bit about teaching Jane's daughters to embroider badly? That's a joke, but it's also a serious potential life plan. Jane is the best creature in the world, and a beauty; there's no chance at all she won't get married to someone worthwhile.
(Bingley mucks this up by breaking Jane's heart, but her prospects remain reasonable if their mother would lay off!)
And if Elizabeth can't replicate that feat, then there's also no doubt in her mind that Jane will let her live in her house as a dependent as long as she likes, and never let it be made shameful or awful to be that impoverished spinster aunt. It will be okay never to be married at all, because she has her sister, whom she trusts absolutely to succeed and to protect her.
And if something eventually happens to Jane's family and they can't keep her anymore, she can throw herself upon the mercy of the Gardeners, who have money and like her very much, and are likewise good people. She has a support network--not a perfect or impregnable one, but it exists. It gives her realistic options.
Spinsterhood was a very dangerous choice; there are reasons you would go to considerable lengths not to risk it.
But Elizabeth has Jane, and her pride, and an understanding of what marrying someone who will make you miserable costs.
That's part of the thesis of the book, I would say! Recurring Austen thought. How important it is not to marry someone who will make you, specifically, unhappy.
She would rather be a dependent of people she likes and trusts than of someone she doesn't, even if the latter is formally considered more secure; she would rather live in a happy, reasonable household as an extra than be the mistress of her own home, but that home is full of Mr. Collins and her mother.
This is a calculation she's making consciously! She's not counting on a better marriage coming along. She just feels the most likely bad outcome from refusing Mr. Collins is still much better than the certain outcome of accepting him. Which is being stuck with Mr. Collins forever.
Elizabeth is also being pragmatic. Austen also endorses her choice, for the person she is and the concerns she has. She's just picking different trade-offs than Charlotte.
Elizabeth's flaw is not in her own priorities; she doesn't make a reckless choice and get lucky. But in being unable to accept that Charlotte's are different, and it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with Charlotte.
Because realistically, when your marriage is your whole family and career forever, and you only get to pick the ones that offer themselves to you, when you are legally bound to the status of dependent, you're always going to be making some trade-offs.
😂 Even the unrealistically ideal dream scenario of wealthy handsome clever ethical Mr. Darcy still asks you to undergo personal growth, accommodate someone else's communication style, and eat a little crow.
