You know what? Fuck it.

The amount of notes that this post gets by the end of April is the amount of words I'll write for one of my books.

just saw a bunch of posts about netflix's "3 body problem" reblogged on my dash, so a friendly reminder that the chinese adaptation, which has entered multiple lists of best c-dramas in 2023, is available for free on youtube with engsub & also on tencent/wetv app (where' i'm currently watching to spite d&d lol).

“Since Thranduil met Bard’s children, Bard decided it was only fair that he meet Thranduil’s son Legolas, too. After all, he was never able to properly get to know him amidst all the chaos. A simple meeting in which he got to know Legolas was all Bard had expected. What could possibly happen?

He ended up being VERY unprepared for how awkward the meeting would actually be.”

Cracked Clay Cup Chapter 5

@greatbigolhampuckjustforme

“Clockwork!” called the head Observant, its eye blazing.  “Clockwork!”  The sound bounced off the walls of the great observatory, echoing over and over.

“You called?”

The Observant whirled. “What took you so long?”

“Shockingly enough, I have other duties.  Duties that you assigned me, in fact.”

“You,” said the Observant, its shoulders making a rigid line, “are the Master of Time.  You should get here immediately.”

“You have also forbidden me from using my powers in such a recursive and overlapping manner.  Much less for a personal matter.  I fail to see what difference fifty-two seconds makes in any case.”

The Observant pulled itself back from its far forward lean, visibly collecting itself.  “Clockwork.  You will return Phantom to the house we prepared for him.”

Clockwork raised an eyebrow and mockingly shifted from his typical form to a much younger one.  “That is against the rules you have given me.”

“The rules require that each candidate be given a fair chance!  The human girl had him for a week, and we only had him for a single day.  We must be given an equal amount of time.”

“That is not one of the requirements you listed at the inception of this trial,” said Clockwork, gleefully.  “You rather insisted on the opposite case being true, citing the sanctity of the child’s choice in cases like these.”

“He did not spend enough time with us to choose!”

“Interesting choice of phrase, considering that you, personally, did not interact with him at all, and that you were using a loophole to switch out which of your… comrades were in the residence at the time.”  Said comrades, the full council of Observants, who were in attendance, began muttering to one another.

“That is perfectly legal.  The laws say only that only those named in the application can be present in the residence, it does not limit it to only one of those named.”

“And so you named all of yourselves Oculus and Orbis, at least temporarily.  Yes, yes, very clever.  Lesser minds are in awe of your brilliance.”

“You will return him.”

Clockwork smiled.  “No.”

“You will do as I command you!”

“I will not.  And I would not, even if I had not been previously commanded to adhere to the rules of this trial without bias or error.  You may command me when it comes to matters of paradox and the continuation of the timeline, fields that you interpret very broadly indeed, but neither of those pertain to the situation at hand.  So.  No.  I will not do as you command.  Furthermore, I am only here as, how should I put this, a courtesy.  I will not be returning here for the duration of the trial.”

“Now, listen here, you–”

“Goodbye, Oculus.  I do with you and Orbis all the luck you deserve.”

Clockwork promptly disappeared.  

The chief Observant snarled as much as a being that consisted of a stick-thin body and a very large eyeball could.  “Find Phantom!  If we cannot have him by his choice, we will have him by force!”But before the Observants could organize themselves, a mist rose up from the floor of their great chamber, coalescing into a woman in blue silk.  “Did someone say wish?”

ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A KNIGHT...

the visual inspiration for this was a combination of Frederic William Burton's Meeting on the Turret Stairs and also Bernardo Cavallino's The vision of St. Dominic receiving the Rosary from the Virgin

this was supposed to be just a one off illustration to get the thoughts out of my system, but then I started thinking about medieval politics and warfare and plagues and a castle and home as both a place of refuge, a prison, and a tomb, so perhaps they will end up as ex voto characters as well.

you may say, hey! that rosary looks like it has too many beads! it's a fifteen decade rosary, probably. dominicans are really into marian devotions. it works out.

also. spiral style stair cases. oh boy. it was that unexpectedly more difficult than I originally thought it would be to draw. the more I think about it, the less I understand them, even though I had a million photos of the stairs in front of me while I was drawing it.

I was today years old when I learned that when you type “otp: true” in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship

I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.

My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813

*electric guitar riff*

And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like
