1. Favorite hobby? 2. New Gendrya fics that you like? 3. What makes you smile? I'm a huge fan of yours!

Ahh! This is a fun one. Thank you, anon for this and for the sweet words

1. Favorite hobby?

Aside from writing, my favorite hobby is definitely live music. Ever since I can remember, music has been a comfort of mine. I can turn to it when I’m sad and it will cheer me up, I can turn to it when I’m happy and it’ll pump me up. I can turn to it when I feel nothing at all and it will, without fail, invoke some sort of emotion. Nothing feeds my soul like concerts. Specifically, outdoor music festivals. I am fortunate enough to go to one at least once a year and every time, it feels like therapy to me. So yea, I’d say live music is absolutely my fave thing I find joy in!

2. New Gendrya fics.

Okay, so this just gives me a perfect opportunity to flail about some incredible stories I’ve read recently that absolutely need more hits. I’ve tried to keep these limited to stories that *I’ve* recently discovered, so they could have been written a while ago. I’ll stop rambling now.

A Stag in an Ill-Fitting Coat by quenchycactusjuice

I am so glad I gave this story a chance. A post-canon au that thrusts Gendry right in the middle of it all. One of the best Gendry centric stories I’ve read in this fandom, and let’s face it, there aren’t enough of them. Also features amazing fight scenes, his absolute grumpy self, and of course, Arya Stark being a BAMF as usual. Check it out. You won’t regret it.

rewrite the stars by @anupturnedboat

Okay, this is one of my favorite AUs. Set during the Reconstruction Era in the U.S., it’s basically a different take on how Arya and Gendry could still cross paths and be some version of a traveling family. It’s mainly Gendry POV and it’s just...sigh, so well written. My rec does not do this story justice, because some of the descriptions in this still take my breath away days, weeks after I’ve read them. If you’re in the mood for something a little different that still has perfect characterizations, this is the story for you.

Consonant by InuChanFan

This story simply does not have enough hits/comments/kudos for how incredible it is. It’s a bit of a canon divergence post-S7 but it still does such a remarkable job maintaining that theme of “oh shit we gotta prepare, the dead are coming” while also highlighting the absolute purity of Arya and Gendry’s relationship. I mean...yeah, it’s one of those fics that makes you simmer at how stupidly everything was handled in S8, but also gives you hope, because you know it’s going to be done so well in this fanfic. Definitely a must read if you miss good canon and need a Gendrya pick me up. Bonus: Gendry POV again. I’m sensing a pattern haha.

for whatever its worth by @necromantiaes

I’ve ranted about this story before, but I cannot tell you how much I love it. It makes me grin like an idiot everytime I think about it for two reasons. 1. It’s a slightly different modern au fwb take, and i won’t spoil why exactly, other the fact that A and G don’t actually know each other’s true identities in it. and 2. It has hands down some of the best Gendrya banter I’ve ever read. I would argue it’s the gold standard of Gendrya banter and anyone who loves that, will absolutely melt into a huge puddle reading this. Also, there’s such a hot sex scene in this (two actually!) that make me want to write smut, and that happens very rarely. So yeah, three reasons to read this. Doooo it.

Unbless You by my absolute muffin @ohnoshefell

Nobody does fluff like my lady here, but what’s more surprising about this is how much *tension* there is in this story. Gendry is really struggling between his feelings for Arya and doing the right thing here, while Arya struggles with accepting that she may never see her family again. It’s a beautiful Brotherhood AU and I absolutely admire the hell out of how she balances all the other side characters. It really made me miss the books!

switch by @watersandwolves

Reading the update to this late last night made me go to sleep with a smile on my face! There’s a beautiful paragraph in this latest chapter where Arya comes to certain realizations about her feelings for a certain someone and it’s just...sigh, reminds me of why I read fanfiction!! Also, bonus for everyone having sexual fluidity and being open about it AND Podrick being an absolute genius and playing matchmaker with our fave pair. No spoilers but GO READ THIS SEXINESS.

3. What makes me smile?

I’m pretty sure my extensive rant above proves that good writing makes me smile...and it does! But also kind words from anons like you, because let me tell you, without the support of some peeps in this fandom, I would still be staring a blank laptop screen unable to write a single word of a story that’s now up to 75K and shows no signs of slowing down. Finding a community of likeminded peeps has really made a difference for me, and why I sport a huge grin on my face most days

@ rae my lovely andyeddie anon i’ve been listening to the playlist and i am Living pls omg so thoughts below the cut cause i kinda. had a lot. i hope that’s ok. the entire playlist together is So McFreaking Good. idk how much of this is coherent but ! know that i am thoroughly enjoying this !

since this post will actually make it into the tags i’m linking the song list for this andyeddie playlist Here. go check it out if you’re an ackeddie fan ! there’s no link to spotify to protect rae’s name but i’ve got it on my spotify if people would just want a link to that (provided it’s cool with rae).

seagullxeagle: i’m fucking yelling this song is so good OMG and to start the playlist this way rae. rae. ‘you flew me higher then the mountain top when my wings gave out’ honestly. lyrics are spot on.

when you were young: a) this song under any circumstance is fantastic and b) the desperate kind of emotion this invokes? whew i never thought of this as andyeddie but now it is

(maybe we are): i might have already yelled about this one a bit but ! still a bop! and it mentions a river! i heavily associate bodies of water with ackeddie since @wolfandwildling and i started talking about them. and the family/dissociation ok yes also a heavy theme with them in my head. (also side note you might like deer tick who remind me of ezra)

physic reader: ‘when i look at you i get a good vibration’ - honestly? mood. and the chorus!!!!!

black flies: ok. ben howard. i love him for andyeddie and this song is So Good. fuck. “No man is an island, this I know // But can't you see? // Maybe you were the ocean when I was just a stone” RAE! this is sO GoOD

tilt-a-whirl: the beginning is so good omfg. i love the vibes of this song holy crap

family and genus: ‘drop what i’m doing and sit beside you’ and kinda the slow vibes right in the beginning like there’s no hurry? but also the theme of loss and having one steady person??? /?

4th and roebling: rivers again ! and that chorus about two lives !!!!! fucking a where do you find such on point songs honestly

ends of the earth: i mean. this is such an andyeddie song i cant handle it. did i mention this playlist is so good rae??

honeydripper: mood shfit ! i’m digging it ! this is like ‘lets get the fuck outta town vibes’ which i am Here For

reflections after jane: these melancholy vibes ! i’m getting andy-centric vibes from this one

1955: just that first line !!! wow ! and the it picked up for that second verse/chorus and i love it so much. it kinda seems like a song from eddie’s pov tho if i’m being honest so many ackeddie songs can be flipped

dog years: the bad week with cheek touching? this is one of my favorites on this playlist tbh all of it is So Good

monomania (nobody loves you like i love you): i mean the title alone??? ‘i’m possessed by my own weakness // and i’m obsessed by your rythym of life’ honestly those are some Good andyeddie lyrics right there

margot: so freaking ??? ? good ?? i mean i love this song already just cause it’s a fun song, but the temporary state and being and being together that’s in the song: a+ 10/10 stuck that landing

blame: oooooo dark i love it. this is such a good bastille song but omg when applied to ackeddie?? fuck dude that’s some good shit right there

smoke signals: ok. hands down my favorite on this playlist (tough competition right there honestly cause that first song is Good). but the mood with the lyrics is so ackeddie to me? that slow, but hopeful yet kinda sad vibe?? ? yeah that. frick ok if you want i’d love to hear your thoughts on your song choices.

in a week: i fucking love hozier for andyeddie like wow and i hadn’t considered this song until right now but damn

the night we met: a) lord huron is So Good and b) ending on this note is genius. i love this song ok shit. i’ve got three faves (hard choices). the first song, smoke signals, and this one.

overall: i mean i can’t be more blown away??? i love getting new music and playlists from people and this was a totally new experience since i was unfamiliar with most of these artists. the songs complimented each other so well. so idk i kinda went ham sorry if you didn’t want/need this much but ! regardless here it is ! thank you again for sharing, rae, honestly! there are a lot of people in this fandom so thanks for talking to me ! [hits repeat]

Why the 7b Promo Pics are Giving Me TD Tingles ;D

Good morning Everyone! How was everyone’s weekend? Good, I hope. Mine was fabulous! So for those who don’t know, AMC has released promo pics for 7b. As always, they’re terribly interesting. I’ve had lots of questions about them over the past few days, so I promised I would do a post analyzing them. Right off the bat I need to thank and acknowledge my FB group. We talked about these a lot and all hashed out ideas for what they reminded us of and what we thought they meant. Special thanks to @boltthrutheheart, @birdiehaven (IG), @lilly.loup (IG), @katkhaos, and @thegloriouscollectorlady for their genius input.

Remember that images used for promo pics generally will show up somewhere in the plot, but also have deeper, symbolic significance as well.

Let’s start with the pics that don’t do much for me.

First, the cantaloupes. Of course they’re something that grows, so they could be synonymous with “green,” but even for me, that’s a stretch. They have some symbolism in Eastern cultures, but nothing that jumped out at me. The only thing we came up with in our group is that maybe they’re for practice killing (chopping heads like melons). But, who knows?

Then this picture. It’s just very generic and nothing especially jumps out at me. Looks like a reference to the junk yard community, but I’m not seeing much else. Moving on.

Overturned bucket with seeds. The gardening experts in the group tell me these are either tomato or paprika seeds. Either one would have potent symbolism, but personally I think they’re probably tomato. Not just from the way they look but because we’ve seen this symbol so often entangled with Beth symbolism. We saw tomatoes at Grady, and again around Morgan in 6x04, which had tons of callbacks. I think they’ve mentioned growing tomatoes in more than one place. And the most common thing tomatoes symbolize is solidarity. Remember Tara’s line from 5x07: “Solidarity. Band of brothers.” It’s something TF is constantly striving for and we see it a lot in the show.

Peanuts. Peanuts are a very potent symbol and I think it’s interesting that they’re included here. The biggest thing peanuts represent in western culture is mystery. Like, what’s under the shell? So the whole point is mystery. The fact that something is hidden. The shell needs to be broken to find it. I think we can all relate that to TD without help, yeah? And another interesting thing? Peanuts are specifically equated with the Christmas season. I know Christmas is past for us, but that’s super-interesting to me for two reasons: first there’s Daryl’s “I never got nothing from Santa Clause,” which we haven’t seen fulfilled yet. (I’m always wondering if maybe we HAVE seen a few of these and just missed them, but at this point, I kind of don’t think so. The symbolism is still being employed.) Plus there’s that December calander behind the obvious Beth-walker in 5x10. We hoped it meant she would return in December (the s7 MSF) Obviously we interpreted that wrong, but the “Christmas” symbolism is still around. And I suppose it might be a western Christ thing. In reality, Christ was born in the spring but all of western culture celebrates his birthday in December. But I digress. My point is, very interesting peanut symbolism.

The bike. I don’t have much to say about this. Don’t know what it means. But it does bring one very specific thing to mind. In Daryl’s/Norman’s opening credit, we see Daryl’s vest through the spokes of a bike. And we’ve always figured that was about his motorcycle, even though there aren’t spokes on the wheel of a motorcycle. Doing the spokes just made it possible to put two symbols of him in the opening credits. But we’ve seen bikes elsewhere. The instance that always comes to mind first for me is when the camera focuses on one outside the house Rick breaks out of when the Claimers show up in 4x11. That was a super-obvious Beth/Grady parallel, and part of the reason I formulated my bike theories. (X, X, and X). Now we have a pic of a bike that includes spokes. Again, not sure what it means, but I’m sure it’s important. ;D

Then we have more nuts, this time walnuts, I believe. The biggest callback I’m seeing here is to The Grove. In that case, the nut was different. It was pecans. But Lizzie, Mica, and Carol cracked and cooked tons of them. It was a big part of the episode. Also notice that he nut cracker in this case is a hammer, not unlike the one Tyreese always carried. He was also a big part of that episode. So what does this mean? Well, on the one hand, it may have nothing to do with Beth. I’ve said before and my group has talked a lot about that we think part of Carol and Daryl’s arc in ep 9 and 10 may be Carol finally talking to him about what happened with the girls. This could be a sign of that, if it turns out to be the case. But I’ve talked plenty of times before about how Lizzie especially is tied to Beth as an anti-parallel. I’ve kind of come to associate Lizzie and Mica becoming relevant again with Beth becoming relevant again. And also remember that Lizzie, Mica and Beth all showed up in Ty’s death hallucination. It’s all connected, folks. ;D

But there is another picture that makes me think tptb are specifically invoking Ty’s death. This one:

Skeletal corpse. Not only does it look just like the one in Ty’s death episode (5x09)

but as I said in my analysis of the S7 opening credits, there’s one there as well.

And this one in the opening credits, just like the flash of Beth running in the yellow shirt, happens so fast that you can’t see it unless you slow it down. It’s like something the show is hiding in plain sight. That’s very significant to me, guys. And obviously whatever we’re seeing in the credits will probably become relevant in 7b. And I think it’s tied to…um, Ty. ;D

Dynamite. We’re hoping Daryl gets to blow up more shit. That’s always great. But remember the matches Daryl used to escape. He didn’t light them, which means they were completely useless plot-wise, and therefore unnecessary. Which means they’re symbolic. Jesus gave him one and then a box of matches held the door open. Sounds like fire is the gateway to escape, which is in line with what we saw in Still. They burnt down the moonshine shack to free themselves from the shackles of their past. Now we’re seeing dynamite. I’m kind of excited. :D

Lantern. I won’t say much about this one because it’s fairly obvious. It’s an agent of light and fire, which we see around Beth a lot. (Lamp post here.) We also saw a lot of these particular types of lanterns in the manor house at Hilltop. And there were a lot of them in cabin in The Grove too. So another symbol we’ve seen a lot of in past seasons, often associated with TD-type symbolism. There’s also a hanging drill with a sinister looking drill bit. Yeah, that’s creepy.

Bloody handprint. We saw something very similar to this in Ty’s death episode. So another tie back to what happened directly after Coda. And I’m sure we’ve seen bloody hand prints more than once in the series. Ty was just the first one that jumped to mind for most of us.

Okay, let’s get to the really good stuff.

The rubber duckies. I love saying that word. Rubber duckies. It’s fun. ;D So apparently Richonne will come across some kind of defunct carnival at some point (which btw is like Stephen-King-level creepy). We’re thinking these ducks may be associated with that. But @boltthrutheheart, genius that she is, made some great associations here. We’ve seen/heard of ducks twice before. The first time was actually specifically around Beth. In S2, after Beth goes catatonic, Maggie tells Andrea. *cough, cough* ANDREA about a time when she returned from college and Beth had a meltdown about her birth control and the two of them and their brother ended up screaming at each other in the duck pond before Hershel broke it up and Beth played innocent. So ducks specifically associated with Beth early on and specifically having to do with seeing Maggie for the first time in a long time, after them being apart for a specific period of time.

The other time also has to do with Maggie. In 3x06, Hounded, she and Glenn go on a run and Maggie specifically tells him to pick up a rubber duck for Judith. That scene didn’t have much to do with Beth, but that was when Merle took the two of them captive. So basically that led to Merle, who had been gone for 2 seasons, reuniting with TF and his family (Daryl).

And one more thing? We saw a clock somewhere (in the Sanctuary, I think? But can’t remember where. I’ll find it and add it later) pointing to 3x06. I remember doing a post about it. So we now have two different references to Merle reuniting with his family after two seasons of being gone. Hmmm. ;D

I also feel like there’s slightly more color in this pic than in the others. Like the yellow of the ducks is being emphasized. Just saying.

And finally my two faves.

First, the open grave. Do I really have to explain why this one is awesome? The empty grave/tomb is the most widespread and potent symbol of resurrection that exists in the Christian world, my friends. I’ve been hearing versions of this symbol at church ever since I was just a kid. We’ve over-analyzed promo pics since Coda aired, but we’ve never seen an open grave in any of them until now. That makes me super excited.

Another thing this puts me in mind of are those three fake graves in Alexandria. We never learned what, if anything, is in them, or what exactly FG had to do with them. So in terms of symbolism, the open grave means resurrection. Plot wise, I’m thinking those three empty graves are coming back into play.

Finally, I think this is my favorite one.

Shadows of people pointing guns at someone. Now, in terms of plot, this will probably have to do with the junk yard community. But does this remind you of anything. I instantly recognized this stance:

Eh, eh?

Overall, they seem to be place mostly in the junk yard, with a few exceptions, which means that’s gonna be a huge story line in 7b. (Given all the TD symbols around Boots, that makes me happy.) And even though the pictures are quite washed out and colorless, there is actually a lot of green in them, or would be if the color hadn’t been messed with so much.

Bottom line, these images will all be relevant in the back 8, guys. Can’t wait. ;D

stiles and jackson please??

ho ho ho anon it must be christmas bc this ask is a gift

send me a ship for my headcanon of their kids!!

Name: plot twist they have twins. claudia and jessica.

Gender: both are cis female.

General Appearance: light eyes, dark hair, long gangly limbs like stiles.

Personality: WELL let’s face it they’re stiles and jackson’s kids so they’re terrible. jk they’re not TERRIBLE (well, not all the time). basically here’s the breakdown: they’re sarcastic, they’re snark masters, they’re a tad bit on the bratty side. claudia is typically quiet, and people assume it’s bc she’s shy. nope. she’s observing. this bitch is calculated and cold. sometimes she says some dumb and funny thing and she can even be nice. but usually she’s gathering info so that, if you come for anyone, she knows exactly what to say and do to take u the fuck down. jessica, tho, doesn’t know how to stop talking, and is always saying snarky shit, but would literally combust if she made someone cry. she only goes after people she know can handle it. they’re inseparable tho so don’t invoke one of their wraths bc they’ll both come down on u HARD

Special Talents: jessica - plays piano, is learning to do magic like good old pops (stiles freaked out bc one of his kids was like him!! magic!! holy sh), is really into fashionclaudia - is a bossass bitch werewolf, knows how to murder a man in 10 steps, likes to read and write, is lowkey a genius

Who they take after more: i think that jessica is more like stiles (although she has jackson’s brand of insults) and claudia thinks she’s more like jackson but in a way the whole calculating thing is REALLY both of them

Who they like better: jessica’s fave was always stiles probably bc jackson was a little more reserved? like he held back a lot on affection a little but he still loved them both to pieces. and claudia liked them both equally.

Personal Head canon: okay so this is long, bare with me. so in the fifth grade there was this kid who was nonbinary; they had very supportive parents and the school was, well, public school, but it was pretty accepting and most of the teachers were okay. but there was this one kid who was just a fucking asshole. he taunted them mercilessly and bullied them. and that kid’s backpack (along with his lunches for three weeks) was found in the dumpster with g.i. joe’s head cut off. the kid’s parents are v pissed and the school goes off on a manhunt but the perps are never found. (if stiles and jackson find a g.i. joe head under one of the twin’s beds well it’s fine no one says anything.)mini hcs: jessica is pan and claudia is ace; they literally do everything together constantly but everyone’s scared of them so no one says a gd thing about it; they’re both super fucked up bc look at their parents but the pack’s got their back.

Face Claim: alexis and megan stier

#stackson #otp: good i'll drive #teen wolf #this is a good ask #sincerely keep em coming #anonymous #what kind of woman doesnt have an ask
