Chapter 1 is live. I think I'm going to try and split my chapters up a little bit further rather than posting giant 5K chapters at a time as an experiment as well. I might end up changing my mind later down the line, we shall see.
Also? If I never have to write Yoda's awful speech patterns again, it will be too bloody soon.

Spotify Wrapped BL Couples Edition (pt 2)
Put your top 100 (101) songs on shuffle and assign the first ten random songs you get to a specific BL couple, doesn’t have to make complete sense to anyone but you. This is harder than it sounds, trust me.
No need to tag anyone, just have fun trying to match random songs to your favourite (or least favourite) couples, and yes, not entirely canon couples count too ;)
1: Youth by Daughter - Dew / Pob
Tumblr media
2: Touch by Sleeping At Last - Tian / Phupha
Tumblr media
3: Who Are You by Aquilo - Puen / Talay
Tumblr media
4: Meet Me in the Woods by Lord Huron - Mitsuru / Koichi
Tumblr media
5: TV by Billie Eilish - Win / Team
Tumblr media
6: You Are The Reason by Calum Scott - Xiang Hao Ting / Yu Xi Gu
Tumblr media
7: My Oasis by Sam Smith & Burna Boy - Puth / Kaeng
Tumblr media
8: Where Do Lovers Go by Ghostly Kisses - Pat / Pran
Tumblr media
9: Ocean Eyes by Billie Eilish - Cake / Eiw
Tumblr media
10: Blame by Grace Carter & Jacob Banks - Kim / Porchay
Tumblr media
So, I had a lot of fun trying to match songs to couples the first time I did this so I decided to try again, I skipped any songs I already got and made sure to pick couples that I hadn’t used yet. Again, it was harder than it sounds lol. If you wanna try this, tag it with spotify wrapped BL edition so I can check out your list :D

Light Bringer spoilers ahead tread lightly
So this has been wandering around in my head non-stop since I started the Iron Gold tetralogy. It has been foreshadowed, lampshaded, cited and referenced multiple time in all the three books of the tetralogy.
The Rat War.
First mentioned when Dancer and Darrow talked about not being able to sleep. It lasted three years and Dancer fought in all of it. Everyone who fought could never forget it. No one bragged about those victories, no one mentioned those nightmares.
That was all given to us in Iron Gold. We forgot it. It was a step in the ladder of freedom.
Then Dark Age. Darrow, his few Howlers and the Free Legions, The Heart of the Republic military, are stranded in Mercury, cornered by Atalantia and fated to a hopeless battle. The Rat Legion, best of those who fought in the dreaded Rat War is among the Free Legion. We get so many references it is thrilling.
When the first battle on Mercury was won by Darrow, after a lot of casualties, the Rat Legion was the only one that seemed to have enough energy to help with relief efforts. Even while they were put on R&R, they were out helping the wounded. And all that after they had held Heliopolis for half a day against Ajax, who is a nightmare himself to half the Republic navy. Even after that, they are purging the Gorgons, without anti-rads, and still being the sturdy pillar of the remaining Free legionnaires.
There are absolutely none in the Republic who don't respect and admire them to the ends of the worlds. And none in the Society who doesn't dread having to fight the Rat Legion. Not in the tunnels, not on the surfaces.
It is without question the most fabled legion in the Republic, right after the Howlers and the Pegasus Legion. And it is all Reds. All Red soldiers from Mars, arguably the lowest Colour in the Society.
The Rat War, lead only by the Reds and Obsidians, the weakest and the dumbest according to the Society, is a tale of horror almost a decade after. And it will always be.
The Fear Knight, undoubtedly the scariest motherfucker alive in the whole Solar System was haunted by the Rat War. It was extreme how even the memories of it can chill the veterans to their bones, that is not to even think about the second coming of it.
There are so many Red veterans and Obsidian heroes from the Rat War, though not more than the casualties. And not one of them not eternally haunted by the deeds they did in the mines.
And then, finally, finally, we are given a brief description of how the Rat War was fought, followed by a short demo in Light Bringer. It was enough to chill the readers, especially after the Minotaur and Cicero were straight up whipped out of the tunnels after that. And then to see how just the threat of it was enough to make grown Golds pale. Those who have fought in it, and those who haven't.
In the end it wasn't the Golds or their ships or their artillery or their legions of trained gray soldiers who broke the chains completely from Mars. It was the Reds, in their own mines, with Obsidian braves. All by playing with darkness, sounds, temperatures and fear raised by the war chant of Obsidians. It was what made the Society's Golds shake in their limbs even years later.
And if that isn't the peak of strategy and psychological fear and the genius of Pierce Brown, I don't know what is. The Golds could smash Reds like ants but they wouldn't fight the Rat Legion in their own lifetimes.
I am personally so amazed by it I don't know if I crave a short Rat War spin-off, or just want to live in mystery for the rest of my life after reading THOSE little vague stories.

All Arthurs have Excalibur, even Lancer owned it though that came after he picked up Rhongomyniad. But Caster Arthur's Excalibur is special in how it is his staff. Still golden, still bright, still leaving a beautiful and brilliant trail of light in its wake...
But a magnificent staff instead of a blade.
All the better to suit a mage, after all.
That being said... Arthur often focuses the magic of both himself and Excalibur so that it can temporarily take on the form of a sword when need be for close combat.

-. The Liar
Tumblr media
"Claude Bonvent" | Old™ | He/she
Claude Bonvent, a fake high class vampire with unknown origins. The 'fake' pertains to the fact that he's poor as all hell and only pretends to have familiarized himself with the finest of the fine of centuries past. He had never been a complete stranger to them, but only ever as arm candy, as thief, as someone who'd walked in and stuck around for as long as it took someone to realize 'hold on, who is this guy the son of again?'. Thievery, lying, conniving, but most of all, always ready to pop off, short-tempered and only submissive when it helps him play his cards right. He's not particularly sweet, doesn't even like people all that much, has a low tolerance for bullshit, and is not secretly soft and kind-hearted. He's an evil uncle waiting to happen. Probably aroace but I haven't really dived into that yet.
No one knows where he came from. He's just... there, most likely running from whomever he's recently pissed off.
TW: death, vampires, blood, violence, debauchery, weaponization of sex appeal, dishonesty, some sort of mental health issues Tags below ♥

◈ @shimmerbeasts [ ⋯ ] Unprompted Ask . ⸻ The Last Page was probably the only book store, you would ever find Jinx in, even if as per usual, she kept negating the rules of being quiet. Within the last five minutes, about six or so different people had shushed at her. Jinx had shushed back at them, exaggerating the sound and sticking her tongue out with a giggle. It had its benefits when your sister was the owner of that very same bookshop. Everything about The Last Page screamed Vi for Jinx. The way, the bookshelves stood around in such a crowded fashion that sometimes, you could not help but feel like you were trapped in a labyrinth. The way paperbacks and hardcovers fought for space on those very same shelves. Some books had even been stacked on top of each other when the space had run out. There were a couple of small stepladders, that people could use to reach higher spots on the shelves. Despite its apparent chaoticness, The Last Page carried a certain warmth to itself. It was in the soft, red carpets on the floor, the dark ebony wood and the warm orange lamps, which hung from the ceiling. It was in the comfortable, green leather armchairs, which were strewn about the place in a half-hazardous manner, inviting people to settle down and pick up a book to read. Jinx was carefully making her way through the library. Her fuchsia eyes scanned the place for her sister. Eventually, she spotted Violet's characteristic magenta hair. The student hurried over towards her sister and pulled Vi into a stormy hug, burying herself between her shoulder blades. Jinx's voice was a soft grumble as she said: "Poppy is a dick."
Tumblr media
   ⸻ [ V ] I DUSTED HER HANDS OFF AS she looked at the chaotic organization of the bookshelf she had just finished packing. A glint of pride glowed in her green eyes, in love with her little shop. It wasn't big or fancy and certainly didn't have the air of some pompous Barnes and noble shit, but still, she had everything anyone could want. Anything Jinx could want! After being released from Prison, she didn't know what to do with her life, it had all been disrupted because of those five years stuck behind bars, all because she was trying to protect her sister and got a little too forceful. She didn't even regret what she did, she only regretted she couldn't stop herself. It left Jinx alone for 5 years, and if not for Caitlyn pulling some strings, she would still be in there for another thirty.
The hushing and shushing caught her ear as she turned her head to the sound and couldn't hide the smirk on her lips. Only Jinx, only her Powder, could get away with being so noisy in this place, and Vi just shook her head in amusement. She had created this place for Jinx, she wanted to get every book she loved, everything she could read to her (because she was never too old to read her sister a book). Blood, sweat, and tears had brought this place to fruition, and she didn't have to worry about a single mortgage payment either. Fully paid off, and it was hers.
Tumblr media
She rolled up her long sleeves of her open plaid shirt to her elbows. A white tank was underneath, with the print of 'Pentakill' across the front of it. A flash of blue from long braided hair caught her eyes and she grunted when her sister flung into a firm embrace. Vi shook her head at the comment she heard and glanced over her shoulder at Jinx. "Poppy can go eat a dick," Vi stated firmly as she shifted around so that Jinx would circle (without removing her from the hug) and then wrapped her arms around her sister. "Do you want to tell me what happened, Powder?" Vi asked, tilting her head with a kind smile that very few were graced with. "We can go upstairs to the loft, no one is there, and I just bought some of your favorite sweets. Powdered brownies,"

hmmm is it weird that i’m categorizing canon star wars material as alternate canon universes now
there’s “the OT movies only” universe
the “OT & PT movies only” universe
the “movies + legends pre-disney” universe
the “everything published under disney” universe
and the “everything ever published under the star wars label” universe

❛ why didn't you kill me when you had the chance? ❜ ( 🥦👀)
&. 𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐬 (𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬?) 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.
Tumblr media
There were plenty of chances he could've done it back in that arena. Plenty more have allowed the Saiyan to succumb to overwhelming numbers when those damn ki blocking restraints were latched to him, leaving him with only a fraction of his full power just to make the bloodsport interesting. At any point they could've turned on one another, torn each other to pieces for the sake of survival or in the frenzy of a wildly beating heart fraught with senseless bloodlust.
Silence was his first answer, onyx hues staring into those hellish orbs as they waited for his answer to a disdainfully loaded question. What were those crimoson hues searching for in the possible answers that may be uttered..? The duo were still alive through an unlikely alliance for their freedom, slaughtered countless for the sake of continued existance, did what needed to be done.
What more is there to it than for self-preserverence.
" I needed you alive instead of nailed to a wall. " Came a simple statement, betraying nothing of the thoughts that lurked behind his piercing stare. What more needed to be said than what happened. What more does the other desire than to satisfy a particular curiosity over their continued living status. What more does the Saiyan dare to reveal through such deplorable death trials where only the strong and cunning could survive in the midst of chaos.
" Don't confuse my restraint on slaughtering you to be anything more than an act of convenience. Killing you then would kill my chance of escape and now, it's only a matter of time when I decide your day arrives. "

So. I. did another art. And I was gonna wait until I re-posted Chapter 1 of Time Heals to post it here but I am heckin' impatient.
anyway special thanks goes to @sidesofmayo and @phoniexstarbird for giving me reference photos of Sabine's armor! This isn't the drawing I needed it for originally (I'm still working on that one) but they really came in handy here too!

Some late nights thoughts before going to sleep: I'm very tempted to make it as part of Dain's stay in Jarilo-VI that he does heal Kluzer, but given the importance the Underworld has at the time this might go unnoticed save for Natasha most likely who was highly involved in his recovery and knew that he was struggling with Fragmentum due to the armor.
This could have two outcomes 1) it's overlooked because of the aforementioned and Dain by himself is pretty fleeting in his stay somewhere or 2) it does escalate to something— although I'm not too sure to what. I'm thinking that it could be useful to the army that is fending off the Antimatter Legion so they won't make it to Belobog for how long he stays there before leaving while he learns the ropes more about the Stellaron and the Fragmentum for the first time, as Jarilo-VI is the first world he ends up to since leaving Teyvat and the Imaginary Tree's location.

@savesgalaxy​ sent: “ i’ve never had any sort of family before. ” / rey!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The statement was said casually, but behind the other’s eyes, Lexa could see pain and sorrow. How heartbreaking it was, that Rey had lived her entire life ALONE. no one to keep her company or have her best interest in mind. What was most impressive was how kind the scavenger remained despite her upbringing. 
“ When I was young, I left my family ​to begin training. ” It was not uncommon for warriors on her planet to be trained this way. “ The time I did have with them...I wish I had not taken it for granted. ” As the years went by, the memory of her mother and father started to grow distant. Lexa worried there might be a day where she would forget them altogether. “ Sometimes the ones we find along our journeys become our kin. ” She offered Rey a wry smile. Those in the Resistance looked out for one another, and worked hard to ensure the organization was not only a movement of opposition, but a home for its members as well.

Eventhough she was trained by mace windu Jade and Anakin were close to even make little teasing jokes.
as she was concentrating she pulled her purple light saber clashing against anakin's blue one a smirk on her face.
"just quit.. You'll never catch me off guard" she tried to hold a laugh

[ @monkietm | Asked...]
send  👼  for  a  comforting  starter . - this is from Xiaotian [For Glow]
[Themed Starters!]
Tumblr media
"You're not alone in feelin' like that, kid." Wukong murmured, setting down the bag of peach chips he'd been going to eat. "I know life's a demon sometimes, but just remember that you're never alone in facing it." The gentle breeze that flowed through his home was ever-present, bringing with it the smell of loose dirt, blossoming flowers, and dust. He wasn't the king of comfort- far from it. He'd never claim he was good at being the emotionally-intelligent one, but he still knew when it was time to take things seriously, and when it was time to be funny.
Tumblr media
"....even if I don't....really know how to help." There were two sides to confidence- understanding one's strengths... But also, understanding one's shortcomings. Something...he'd had to come to terms with, this past year or so. "...but if you want...I know some really great food for when you're feeling awful." A small chuckle escaped him as he looked away, letting his eyes shift towards the hole in the mountain, far above his actual home.
He couldn't just leave the kid to face this on his own.- But he had no clue where to even begin in the actual issue. So, instead... He would just try to be there for Xiaotian. It was the best he could do.
"Or, you and I could go wandering around the mountain?" Well. It'd be less 'wandering' by his standards, since he did have a destination in mind... But he wouldn't dare force anything on the kid right now, not when they were like this.
