^^^seriously. I had seen 9-1-1 posts for YEARS I knew everyone was shipping the two guys together with no other context for the show. It was all over this fucking site.

I finally started it last week once I heard they actually did confirm the one guy as bi, because “hey actual openly queer representation!” Only to learn there was an OPENLY LESBIAN WOC with a WIFE and a KID on the show since episode fucking one. Y’all really tanked this one.

while 911 is blowing up rn here is hen shes a lesbian paramedic also she has a rocket scientist wife

#shes been gay since episode one #henrietta wilson #911 abc #if yall had mentioned her years ago tumblr would have flocked to this show we are so desperate for queer rep

“I’ve never heard of them.” No matter who you’re talking to you’ll infuriate them.

the beatles are an infuriating band to me as a relentless contrarian. liking them is cliche, hating them is cliche, being indifferent towards them is cliche. it's impossible to have an novel or interesting take on the beatles in current year. like how am i supposed to win here?

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

 New Years Resolution? No, you misheard me. I said New Years Revolution.

The last bit is deeply reassuring to me, whose first thought after finishing book three’s epilogue was “this was perfection and I love this group of seven queer radicals” and second thought was “oh god WWI is in FOUR YEARS.”

Hello! I just finished reading A Power Unbound, and firstly I wanted to tell you that I love this trilogy so, so much. I recommend A Marvellous Light to basically everyone I meet, and I was SO excited for this last book upon learning Ross and Hawthorn were the main couple. It did not disappoint!! I'd loved Hawthorn from his first scene in AML and him getting his own book and romance made me so happy. So THANK YOU for these wonderful characters and beautiful books, I'm very much looking forward to your future writing!

I did have a couple questions, if you had answers you're at all willing to share. Hawthorn stan that I am, I'm also fascinated by the drama that is Edwin/Hawthorn lmao, I think that sort of doomed relationship is so delicious. Have you written or would you ever write anything prequel-y about them? A short story or the like? If not, is there anything you brainstormed up about them that didn't make it into the books?

Secondly, do Edwin and Robin ever find out that Ross wrote the Roman books? Because that would be such a funny scene.

Thank you again, and thank you for answering the asks about this series you've gotten here, I love reading your responses and learning more about the books/your writing process :D

hello! thank you so much!

I'm skipping a few asks ahead in the queue to answer this one, because I think my answer will apply to (and hopefully anticipate) some other asks: if it's not in the books or any other Official Published Content, then I'm mostly not going to comment on events that happened offpage or may happen offpage in the future*.

as a fanwriter myself, and as an author who's made the decision to engage with readers on a predominantly fannish platform... I prefer not to come down all Word Of God and deny readers or fans the pleasure of coming up with their own answers. whether you intend to write fanfic about it or just happily develop your own headcanons: the text is out there, so it's yours now!

so the answers to 'what was edwin and jack's relationship like' and 'do edwin and robin ever find out about alan's books' are both: whatever you want it to be. whatever the next fanwriter wants it to be.

*the only exception to this is: yes, they all survive world war one, I'm not a monster

On my way home from work tonight I saw a white tail doe with five fawns of varying ages. Ma’am. Those are not all yours.

Hi. Teacher here. Middle school, specifically.

You’re right, it is bullshit.

It’s bullshit that I have to require kids to ask to use the bathroom because we’ve had students just walk out and spend the entire period in the bathroom or wandering the halls, kicking doors or vaping. It’s bullshit that I have to make sure I have a system in place to ensure I know where students are for their own safety, because schools aren’t a safe place.

Tardies are bullshit. The kids that come to class half way through the period aren’t “tardy” they’re skipping, and it’s bullshit that I have to pause my lesson, update the system, and then catch them up at the detriment of their classmates who arrived at the start of the period. But hey, no child left behind right?

Not accepting late work is bullshit. You know what is also bullshit? A kid turning in all of their assignments the last week of school and demanding the teacher grade them all because the school doesn’t allow for a no late work policy.

The biggest bullshit of all though? Is that the kids and teachers are shoestringed into following these rules because our government can’t bother to fund schools enough to make them a safer, better place to be, where ALL the students can get the support they need to succeed.

to any teenagers reading this i just wanna say that you're right. homework is bullshit, not accepting late work is bullshit, tardies are bullshit, having to ask to use the goddamn bathroom is bullshit. any adult who tells you differently is either lying or doesnt remember how much it sucked

#posts like this are valid #but also tend to assume the teacher is the mastermind behind these rules and not the people actually in charge? #and also ignore the fact that a lot of these rules are actual for child safety? #like I need to know who is in the bathroom in case there is a shooter. that is an actual valid concern in America sadly. #also yes if you are late to work once or fall behind on a project deadline once your boss will likely let it go #or even twice #but there are kids who never turn work in on time or even the week or two after #and show up twenty minutes late to a class right down the hall from their own period #and never giving them realistic consequences about those decisions just tells them they can do that the rest of their lives. #it’s sucks #American public education system sucks #maybe if we were funded as well as our military we wouldn’t be trailing everyone in literacy

I missed the weight of this line in theaters but upon rewatch (especially as a got older) it became more impactful.

Because that’s really their choice isn’t it? They BOTH know what they’ve been sent on is basically a suicide mission, even if most days they pretend not. Go on your own. Find these impossible items that can only be destroyed in more impossible ways. Then come back and STILL fight in the front lines of this war against dark wizards who will not hesitate to kill you, against a man who has killed the greatest wizard of your age already.

Because they’re 17/18 years old and already know the true happy ending lies in just getting to grow OLD. Not true love or happy every after or achieving all they ever wanted - just getting to live. They’re teenagers and they get up each day knowing they “have”to pick the “right choice” - the selfless one, the heroic one, the one that gives everyone else more of a chance then it does them- instead of just running away and getting to live. And this moment of true honesty and friendship and love between these two is the first glimpse we see of how much that WEIGHS on them; tempts them.

They could give up and save themselves and they know they’d hate themselves forever if they did.

I thought it was because copper was used in the telegram

It's been said before, but goddammit I love the material components for spells in D&D. They're so stupid.

Detect Thoughts requires a copper to cast. Gust of Wind needs beans. Sunbeam requires a magnifying glass. Passwall uses sesame seeds.

Darkvision needs fucking. Carrots.

pirates: mostly men, allowed gay marriage, attack sailors

mermaids: mostly women, not usually interested in men, attack sailors

conclusion: pirates and mermaids are sea mlm/wlw solidarity

Kipps: I am not saying Lockwood and Co is behind the times but 100% of your management team is male. Fittes is a progressive, modern organisation that-

Lockwood: Lucy, how would you like to be the official Head of HR?

George: Are we finally getting HR? Because I have some complaints about the boss flirting with all the female employees.

yeah i’m doomed by the narrative but i have a little time to be absolutely gay

Lockwood and Co Edition:

1. Lockwood (obvs)

2/3. I feel like Lucy and George swap between 2 and 3. But Lucy is more 3 and George is more 2? (I could be biased by the show though. )

4. Holly (In this instance, George is 3.)

5. Flo

6. Kipps

7. Skull

8 Jake the Cab Driver (really the guy holding the entire world together honestly. Best cabbie in London.)

The best fictional friend groups are at their core comprised of:

1. A determined trauma bunny surviving on an unknowably proportioned mixture of heart eyes and denial/repressed trauma.

2. An unquestionable ride or die bestie operating on a never ending rollercoaster of total fear and unfounded optimism.

3. One anxiety riddled sarcasm wielding third party the other two tricked into holding the brain cell.

*****Optional Bonus Content******

4. A beam of sunshine who doesn’t know any better whom friend #3 is trying to lure in so they can catch a five minute break.

5. A streetwise genius bestie who should have known better. (Who followed one of the others with only mild, though constant, complaining).

6. A part-time/former antagonist who swears they are there against their will.

****LAST ADD ON*****

7. A side character with immense cosmic power and knowledge (who is not present for at least 40% of the plot because Reasons Tm).

8. A guy who can drive.

Sometimes some combination ends up dating each other. A lot of the time, it looks like a questionably platonic polycule
