The Spell to Make Your Wish Come True

“Yadas scolyah Sacul snuycale ynocaj aiahisah oniniey, pes, satitca enrab dul ynenod aye ubei eur, ahav, ailaiv, eye. Eiv ayhah oyah ayas anlas iahah, icuc ayay. Lehenele, an anev; autes.”

1) Memorize the orison.

Ancient orisons are powerful not simply because they are in Latin or in another old language. They draw their power from all the witches throughout the centuries who have used them.

Memorize this letter for letter, punctuation per punctuation. Note which words are capitalized and which are not. You are not allowed to copy it. You have to know it by heart.

2) Acquire a new journal.

The smallest you can find. Make sure its materials are natural and that its pages are not lined.

Using a pencil, write your wish on the very first page. Make it succinct but specific. Erasures and corrections are not allowed. They show weakness of intention. If you make a mistake, obtain another journal.

3) Write down the orison.

The next day, when you wake up, the first thing you must do – before peeing, drinking water, brushing your teeth or praying – is write down the orison on the second page. Again, no mistakes.

Do the same the next day, and the one after that. Always write on a new page. Do it for as many days as the number of words you used in your wish. If your wish is, “I wish to get married before my 21st birthday”, then you must do it for nine days.

4) Burn the journal.

Once you are finished, wait for a night when the moon is a waxing crescent, and burn the journal in your front yard. Not in your backyard. You want it in your future, not to leave it in the past.

Collect the ashes in a jar.

5) Cook your favorite meal.

Immediately after, cook your favorite meal. Add all the ashes in. Serve the meal on a silver platter and place it in your front yard, exactly where you burned your journal. This is your payment to whoever old one read your wish as you burned it.

If by sunrise, the platter has ants, worms or other insects in it, as well as signs of having been touched, then your payment was accepted and your wish will be granted. If not… if it looks just as you left it… it means greater powers interfered. Your wish is simply not destined.

Your Rock

Steven Grant x Reader

Plot: You’re knee deep in work and feel like nothing is working. Luckily, you have someone to give you a little TLC.

Genre: PG-13 (Themes of overworking)

A/N: Yet another self-indulgent fic along the same genre. Another loving Steven but this time it’s to tackle my final hurdle of uni. Reblogs appreciated!

For a split second, you felt like you were going to combust if you stared at the screen of your laptop for any longer.

The words that you wrote were starting to jumble and merge into one. You were becoming increasingly frustrated as you didn’t do as much as you hoped to do. Moreover, you felt lost and clueless if you were even writing the right things. For once, you just wanted your academic life to go well.

As the door opens, you give a muffled scream into the stuffed penguin you were holding for emotional support. Steven sees your frazzled state and can put two and two together. Placing the groceries on the counter, he makes his way to your side.

Like the sensitive man he was, Steven carefully pressed your shoulders, undoing the knots that formed since you sat at the kitchen for god knows how long. You groan as sign of thanks.

“Love, how long have you been at it?”

“I dunno, but I was really hoping to finish this part. So that I can move on to my other assignment.” You blinked blearily at him, belatedly noticing the dark skies outside your shared apartment.

“Did I-”

Steven senses that you’re about to enter a breakdown. He hugs you close, letting you feel his presence. Once your breathing settles, he releases you gently.

“I got ramen from the Japanese shop three blocks down. Do you want to eat with me?”

Steven’s offer was tantalizing but your overactive mind didn’t allow you to forget your tasks. “Steven, that sounds lovely but I still have-”

His expression changes to a determined one. “No. You’re eating and that’s final. When was the last time you had something to eat? Scratch that. Can you even remember what you had for lunch?”

Steven’s barrage of questions make you think but you come up with a blank. Your inability to answer means a small victory for him. He opens the takeaway bags, taking out two containers of ramen. Under his watchful eye, you clear your stuff away and realize the fatigue starting to kick in.

Placing a container in front of you, you see the big juicy scallops floating in the spicy broth. Steven has gotten you your favorite ramen and suddenly you can’t help but to get a little emotional which he notices as he sorts out his own meal.

“What’s wrong love? Not to your taste?”

You shake your head, giving a watery smile. “It’s perfect. You read my mind Steven. You always do.” Taking a deep exhale, you see him patiently waiting for you.

“It’s ok to feel this way love. It just means you care about it. But you have to take a break. It won’t run away from you, you’ll finish it eventually.” He tells you softly, but the weight of his words have an impact on you.

As always, Steven was the wise one in this relationship. The anchor. Or maybe because it was his experiences that made him stronger. Your respect and love for him grew immensely once again.

You get off your seat to hug him once more and you can’t imagine, what would a life be without Steven?

“Probably dull.”

“Huh?”

“If you didn’t crash into me in the lecture hall, your life would still have been mundane as ever.”

You pause for a moment before breaking into laughter. How could he read your mind so well?

“Hey! I didn’t crash into you! I was just… I was just-”

“Too busy looking at my adorable face?”

You pretend to gasp at his cheekiness. “Well look whose getting too confident! And here I was thinking who to bring for the ice cream buffet next week.”

“I’m sorry love! I just can’t help but to state the facts.”

“You’re lucky you’re cute.” You slurp more noodles, tummy feeling satisfied. The haze in your brain slowly starts to clear and you start to feel the fatigue kick in. Steven notices this as he automatically clears the table once you were finished.

“Steven, I can do it. You bought the stuff.”

He waves you away. “Love, you had a long day. This is fine. I’ll see you tomorrow morning for our walk? And then we can head for breakfast?”

You nod, eager to take a break from that wretched computer of yours.

“Go to bed, I’ll be right behind you.”

You grab your things, preparing to head into the bedroom. You glance over your shoulder to see Steven washing the dishes with precision and placing the groceries into the cabinets.

You had no idea what you did to deserve him. He was always so willing to give, to support… he was simply your rock.

“Hey Steven?”

“Hm?”

“I love you.”

“Love you too.”

Drop the lestappen playlist bestie! 💝

alskjfa its on my private account but uh here are the highlights:

kill the director - the wombats

the ULTIMATE enemies to lovers song in my opinion. the HATRED about being in love is just. chef's kiss. also the line 'i've met someone that makes me feel seasick' delightfull. AND 'this is no bridget jones' is that not charles's mantra every time max maxsplains his little heart out and he is trying SO HARD not to go all heart eyes about it

halley's comet - billie eilish

you will very quickly notice a theme in this playlist and the theme is i like to headcanon charles as being absolutely MISERABLE when he realizes he has a crush on max. he's all woe is me about it (meanwhile max has been in love with charles since like they're karting days and is just. vibing tbh) anyway this whole song has a plethora of DELIGHTFUL lines about being upset about your crush but to highlight a few:

i don't want it and i don't want to want you aut in my dreams, i seem to be more honest and i must admit you've been in quite a few

AND my personal favorite because i literally named a fic after it:

silly me to fall in love with you

happy accidents - saint motel

if i think about the possiblity of charles and max never meeting and their intertwined lives too much i will cry but the tldr are is that the following lines make me go !!!!!

if i never laid eyes on you would i feel something missing if you never laid eyes on me would you know something's gone?

wrapped up in books - belle and sebastian

this song is on here for these specific lines and they make me feel feral every single time oh my GOD

you were racing in a car beside a boy you just don't know if he is up for what you have in mind

i won't say (i'm in love) - from disney's hercules

no i will not apologize this is a CHARLES SONG this is charles having been in denial about his crush for YEARS and then being absolutley slapped in the face with it somewhere during the 2022 season thank you

#lestappen #theres more but some of those are also just. what i personally think fits them that others might not agree with #actually thats all of these too #oh well

[theaudientvoid]

Okay, I know, I know, I've been saying that I'll write a "cape comics for Worm readers" list for years, and here we are. But I had the following thought, recently. Hear me out. So like:

1999: Kelly Puckett and Scott Pederson create Cassandra Cain, the second Batgirl, an autistic-coded teenage girl with a death wish. She quickly becomes a fan favorite, and her solo book runs for 6 years and 73 issues.

Mid-Late 2000s: DC Editorial privately makes up their mind that they wants Barbara Gordon to be Batgirl again, despite no one asking for this and all of their writers telling them its a bad idea. DC then begins a multiyear crusade to destroy Cassandra's character, culminating in her being summarily deleted from continuity in 2011 with the New 52 Reboot.

Also Mid-Late 2000s: John "Wildbow" McCrae gives up on mainstream comics, citing comic publishers mistreatment of their female characters.

2011: Wildbow creates Taylor, an aut ... with a dea...

꧁𝐂𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨

ʙᴀꜱᴇ ᴘʀᴏꜰɪʟᴇ ⟡ ɪɴ-ɢᴀᴍᴇ ᴇᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴ ① ⟡ ɪɴ-ɢᴀᴍᴇ ᴇᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴ ②

Disclaimer: I'm not a meta player so these numbers or effects may be fucked up. Please take it in all good fun 🙏���

ー༄ Special Dish:

“Absolutely Normal Hot Chocolate.”

Type: Recovery Dishes

Ingredients: Cocoa powder x2, Milk x1, Spice x1

Effect: Restores 18~22% of Max HP to the selected character and regenerates 300~470 HP every 5s for 30s.

Description: Coviello’s specialty. Indulgent blend of cocoa and steaming hot milk, along with a dollop of condensed milk and a dash of cinnamon, with marshmallows to stir in or nibble on the side. It’ll warm up your body from the inside. Disclaimer: this version has no god’s remains inside.

ー༄ Favorite food:

“Venison Stew”

Type: Recovery Dishes

Ingredients: Raw meat x2, Fire-Water x1, Pepper x1

Effect: Restores 26~30% of Max HP to the selected character and regenerates 450~790 HP every 5s for the next 30s.

Description: A simple but hearty meal made of freshly hunted game. Since the Fire-Water is poured in the later process of the cooking, the alcohol should warm anyone up quite nicely. A perfect dinner to have in a cold winter night.

ー༄ Signature Weapon:

🗡 Frozen Flame

Weapon Type: Sword

2nd Stat Type: Elemental Mastery

Rating: ★★★★★

Description: An icy blue sword with glowing red ‘veins’ along its blade. Forged by the cold frozen lake of Snezhnaya's endless winters and the eternal fire of Natlan, it seems to be especially receptive to certain elements.

Refinement Rank 1: Lux Aut Umbra

Upon hitting enemies affected by Hydro: Refreshes any existing Nota stacks and gains one Umbra Nota, which increases ATK to all party members by 18% for 10s. Max 3 stacks. The next two Umbra Nota can only be gained if wielder is off-field. When the wielder has 3 stacks, active character’s ATK SPD will be increased by 6%.

Upon hitting enemies affected with Cryo or Pyro: Refreshes any existing Nota stacks and gains Lux Nota, which increases the wielder’s Normal Attack DMG by 100%. This effect will disappear after 42 DMG instances or 18s.

A/N ⟡ Kit Concept: Mainly a weapon to better enhance Coviello's versatile playstyle. e.g. as support/sub-DPS, you'd focus on gaining Umbra Nota and making sure they go off-field, while as a main/sub-DPS, you'd focus on gaining Lux Nota (which can easily be done using their Elemental Burst).

ー༄ Active Skills:

Normal Attack: Advancing in Caution

Normal Attack: Performs up to 5 rapid strikes.

Charged Attack: Consumes a certain amount of stamina to quickly step back and either 1) fires a pistol or 2) throws a dagger. Both instances deal Physical DMG.

Plunging Attack: Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground below, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Elemental Skill: Frostbite

Duration: 12s ⟡ CD: 20s

Cryo DMG: (Base level) 120% ATK + 140% Elemental Mastery

Applies a circular Cryo field which deals continuous Cryo DMG every 2s.

“Why do I wear thick clothes and layers if the cold doesn’t bother me?”

“….... You know I’m still human, right? Or was that a roundabout way of you saying that you want me to die?”

Elemental Burst: Ice Burn

Duration: 18s ⟡ CD: 32s

Enhanced Normal Attack DMG: (Base level) 120% ATK + 250% Elemental Mastery

HP Drain: 5% Max HP per second

Coviello activates their delusion and alternates between Cryo and Pyro DMG between attacks, causing continuous Melt reaction. This will convert their Normal Attack: Advancing in Caution’s Physical DMG into Elemental DMG.

While they’re in this state, their HP will continuously be drained.

“Do you know what severe frostbite feels like? It feels tingly at first, like sparks of electricity. Then, it starts to burn and swell, before you lose all feelings in that particular area... Heh. Ironic, isn’t it? How can cold ice feel like it’s burning your skin?”

“....... I suppose it's something you might not be able to wrap your head around unless you've experienced it yourself.”

A/N ⟡ Kit Concept: Great off-field support/sub-DPS for Hydro-wielding characters (specifically Childe), but turns into main/sub-DPS after their Elemental Burst is unleashed (which could also be a good support for Childe as you wait for his Elemental Skill cooldown). Also I imagine if RNG blesses Cov to fire a pistol as a charged attack, in-game Meirin would go "That's my child ;w;" /silly

ー༄ Passive Skills:

Thermoregulatory: Party is immune to cold weather effects.

Avalanche (be upon ye): If the deployed party is entirely composed of Hydro and Cryo characters, including Coviello, opponents affected by Cryo will have their Cryo RES decreased by 10% for 12s.

Legal Hunting: Gains 25% more rewards when dispatched on a Snezhnaya Expedition for 20 hours.

ー༄ Constellations:

C1: Frostnip

Increases the Level of Frostbite by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C2: Impermafrost ★

Active characters within Cryo field generated by Frostbite are immune to Frozen even when Wet (other elemental reactions with Hydro will still apply).

C3: Permafrost ★

If the opponent is Frozen, increase Frostbite’s Cryo DMG to 1.5x of the current multiplier value for Coviello’s Elemental Mastery.

C4: Hypothermia

Increases the Level of Normal Attack: Advancing in Caution by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C5: Blizzard

Increases the Level of Ice Burn by 3. Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C6: Gangrene ★

Increases Ice Burn’s Enhanced Normal Attack DMG to 1.5x of the current multiplier value for Coviello’s Elemental Mastery and reduce HP Drain to 4% Max HP per second.

A/N ⟡ Concept: C1-C3 enhances their support/sub-DPS capability, but C4-C6 evolves them into a decent DPS.

ー༄ Idle Animations:

Crosses arms and watches the snow falling.

Sees a duckling on the ground. Crouches to pet it for a few seconds before standing back up.

#rin's adopted children: coviello #rin's character references #rin's queue is serving tea #i wanted to draw some of these but.... hmmm..... might update this again later when i have more time hehe

Headcanons: Aesthetics (Raymond Smith)

Headcanons: Aesthetics (Raymond Smith) - What smell(s) are they, what flower are they, what season do I associate with them, do I think they have a favorite aesthetics, songs, etc.'

Requested By: @will-grammer

A/N: Headcanons are below cut. Most of the songs chosen are based on vibes alone. This is also the first time I am attempting this format of headcanons, so it may change in the future. I may also add onto this in the future as I find things that remind me of him.

-

Smells:

Woody scents like walking through a forest after a gentle rain.

An expensive cologne you cant place the specific scent of, but it makes you feel warm and comfortable.

Cinnamon and Wood Smoke

Peppermint scented aftershave and beard oil.

Freshly ground coffee with a hint of cocoa.

The scent of thick parchment paper of an old book.

A smokey burning smell that could be either gunpowder or charcoal.

Flowers/Seasons/Etc:

Raymond is Autumn.

The browns, oranges, reds and gold colors of Autumn.

The leaves changing, falling, and decaying. The full cycle of life.

The crisp cold air that hangs like fog, with rays of sunlight shining through.

He is the evolution of Autumn to Winter than you never see, but feel in your bones.

Walking down a wet paved sidewalk as leaves float down from the trees overhead. Your feet crunching the leaves underfoot.

He is a Biden's Flower. A barbed and bristled plant with a colorful flower hiding it's dangerous parts.

Quotes/Lyrics/Songs:

'aut viam inveniam aut faciam' - I will either find a way, or I will make one.

"Knowledge will give you power. But Character will give you respect."

“If an idiot is in power, never lose the patience. Otherwise you'll be fallen to his level.”

'I Feel Free' by Cream

'I Heard It Through the Grape Vine' by Marvin Gaye

'Bad Moon Rising' by Creedence Clearwater Revival

"Well you think that you know what I am but you don't. 'Cause I say what you can't and I do what you won't." - Halestorm; 'Sick Individual'

"I was told a million times. Of all the troubles in my way. Mind you grow a little wiser. Little better every day." - Queen; 'Keep Yourself Alive'

Other/Misc

Tweed suits and hounds tooth plaid.

The sound of ice clinking in a glass.

A gold, brown, black and copper color palette.

He is the sound of rain hitting the umbrella overhead as you walk.

The distant city at night that somehow lulls you to sleep after a long day.

Dark Academia mixed with Mafia Aesthetic.

Books, a neatly folded coat, perfect handwriting always in the margins, an empty glass, and a gun.

secretary here! just wanted to message you while on break to let you know that i love you very much, and that more people do than dislike you. if someone can find your blog out of the hundred million and spend time out of their day or night to send you anonymous asks, imagine how many would back you up and send you support. also, to the anon, i'm the people. and i'm also not as kind and as generous with my time like jack is, so i'd like you to either not send me another ask or just come off of anon and message me personally so we can speak, person to person. like real people do. because you can't get to me or bother me like you can with my lovely friend here. please get a life, touch grass, hug a pet, do something. because this is getting a little pathetic. spend some time on the blog you made a few months ago to like pictures of your favorite celebrities, rather than spewing damn near incoherent asks to people you don't even know personally. thanks

<33 thanks aut:3

From cherry compote this is also definitely under 500 *winks but both my eyes close*

As they near the bottom of the bowl, Raylan moves his hands from Boyd for the first time since they had sat down. He grabs the glass, and he tips it back. Boyd watches as the pink sugar slides into his mouth. And this is his last chance to turn back. To murder Raylan with this chain. He can wrap it around his bobbing Adam’s apple as he swallows. He can call it strawberry ice cream and let himself believe that’s how it got its color.

Instead, Boyd kisses Raylan’s throat. He brushes his lips sweetly over Raylan’s pulse. Raylan whips the bowl back to the table. It catches on the corner, cracking straight down the center. They pay it no mind.

Raylan lifts them up, his hands under Boyd’s thighs supporting his weight. Shattered glass crack under his shoes. Boyd kisses Raylan’s lips. He tastes iron buried deep under sweetness. Raylan bites Boyd’s bottom lip, and then he sucks the sting away right after.

The taste becomes addicting. The last of his sanity slips away, replaced only with obsession. He loves the taste of himself on Raylan’s lips. He loves the hard edge of blood that reminds him that he is Raylan’s favorite. He is the center of Raylan’s entire reality. He could take a cleaver to Raylan’s chest right now and find his heart beating morse code to Boyd’s name. It’s intoxicating. This is always how he had felt, back at nineteen. In all those stolen moments. There wasn’t a crack in Harlan they hadn’t found to tuck themselves into.

Raylan pushes Boyd into their bed, crawling up to rest his weight on Boyd’s chest as he grabs a bottle from the side table. His teeth loom sharp and stained at Boyd’s eye level as he leans over in reach. Less than happy, Raylan is obsessive and possessive and lost in single minded mania of having Boyd. Boyd thinks only of being possessed.

Raylan undoes Boyd’s pants, and Boyd helps by kicking them down. He makes quick work of Raylan’s own. Raylan moves down, slicking two fingers before breaching Boyd’s rim. Boyd pulls at Raylan’s shirt, managing to at least rip them down the buttons. He pauses his work with a grunt, when Raylan’s ministrations distract him too greatly.

Boyd’s fingers catch at Raylan’s love handles. His nails tear lines through skin as Raylan preps him. Boyd pulls a hand back. He grins as he licks at the blood under his nails. Raylan’s eyes grow wide and his pupils blow out. Raylan’s hand stops as he watches Boyd give his own fingers a languid suck. Boyd thrusts his hips down, reminding Raylan to keep up.

Raylan babbles into Boyd’s ear as he crooks his fingers in deeper. “I love you, God, I love you, I love you so much, missed you so much, needed you so badly.” Boyd doesn’t catch it all, and the ramblings spiral deeper into the insanity that lives inside Raylan. “I was born for you, Boyd. I was born to rip your skin open and live inside you. I was born to handcuff your wrist to my own. I want to sew us together with barbed wire. I want carry pieces of you around in my stomach. I want our hearts to be swapped in open surgery.”

“I want those things too, Raylan,” Boyd admits, honest with himself for the first time in decades. “I want more reminders that I’m yours. The mark wasn’t enough, the pinky isn’t enough,” Boyd continues, slipping into a desperate beg for more, more, more.

Ohhhh, thank you!

So, the beginning of your passage shows Boyd with his two options clear before him. This is Raylan at his most vulnerable, most distracted. If Boyd kills him here, he'd have his best odds at succeeding, his best odds of making it out alive. By giving him the coffee earlier, by giving him this ice cream so soon, Raylan broke his pattern of putting his cell phone away in the lockbox, giving Boyd an actual out to kill him without dooming himself to starving himself to death with a rotting corpse in the small room cottage. He can kill Raylan, steal the cellphone, and call one of his men to pick him up or call the authorities to start a new life-- or, well.

And of course he doesn't! He loooooves Raylan. He loooooves Raylan so much.

Boyd is a character that strikes me as desperate for love and attention, and he'll supplement both with adoration or hatred or machinations, but here Raylan is, giving and giving and giving with both love and obsession and attention. This Boyd is hardly able to resist. Even with the complicated dynamics and literal kidnapping, Raylan loves him so much and gives him everything he needs, and he has no real reason to turn away, not when Raylan is correct in that Boyd acts not who he is out of desperation or fears prison more than he'd like to admit.

The sex scene happens, of course, because Raylan has been wanting to fuck his boyfriend everyday since they were, like, sixteen, but he has his strict little moral codes that make sense only to himself, but now, finally, Boyd wants this too, and the whole affair is bloody, but the blood is warm and full of love and proof enough as they make heart shapes like paint.

Raylan's babbling was the most fun for me to write, because I wanted to make his ramblings graphic and bloody and intense and insane and loving and lovely in its own way. This fic is about unhinged, mutual obsession, and I feel like this section and this fic particularly I really got to cut loose and just play with it.

One of the most finicky details of this fic was always figuring out how clothing would work, what with Boyd being chained at hand or foot for most of it, making changing a nightmare, logistically. In later installments, I'll say they get custom clothing some how to make it easier, if only for me to write, lol. Hopefully the ripping and tearing seemed appropriately amorous while logistically sound.

And of course, what kind of commentary would this be without mentioning @itookyoudown! It was bun's idea for to use blood as an ice cream topping! How perfect! How wonderful! Truly, it was the detail that really tied this installment together for me. Everything flowed (retch ;P ) from there, haha. Honestly, it was just a really good focal point for this fic as a whole, both visually and thematically, especially tying this fic back to the rest of the series.

(Speaking of which, the first chapter of Part Six is out now! It's about Loretta, though, so no worries if you'd rather wait for Part Seven, which will go back to Raylan and Boyd).

Omw home from the AUT - CZE game with @cupcake2507 and I spent entirely too much money, BUT I have a Kölner Haie pride puck signed by Šustr now and memories of an incredible game. Obv Austria lost but they honestly put up a great fight. I also love how enthusiastic fans were about any Linzer mentioned in the lineup, or when Feldner scored the goal. That was my highlight. And also the fact that I could see my favorite ex Linzer Ramón Schnetzer again. I miss him so bad

Aut inveniam viam aut faciam 

Roman Senator's daughter & Gladiator

| I shall either find a way or make one |

She can’t decide whether or not she missed Rome. But well, she missed the city. After all she was away for almost a year and, no matter what, Rome is her home. Not that she missed the city that much, but she missed her villa, she missed her father and a couple of friends. Yes, both her father and Laena with Laenor visited her in Pompeii several times. But when she is in Rome, they see each other almost every day. 

It was fun in Pompeii, with her grandmother and fun parties. But she is glad she is back. 

And the one thing she missed too, it’s the gladiator fights. Grandmother was never a fan of them, so they never went out to the arena to watch fights. So she vibrates with anticipation, sitting inside the Coliseum. It’s typical heat for summer in Rome, and the sun seems to melt her bones. Her tunic is rather sheer and light but she feels the sweat running down her back. And Laena and her don’t even sit under the sun. The first tier, where the elite and their families sit, is covered from above by a roof made of light fabric, which allows only part of the sun's rays to pass through.

But with the amount of heat it's not hard to imagine how ordinary people from above tiers feel. 

And for gladiators it might be infernal hell. 

Ah, here they are, entering the arena one by one under the applause of the audience.

It’s been almost a year of her absence from Rome so there are too many faces she doesn't recognise.  And it’s not surprising as most gladiators die within a couple of months, killed in the arena by either predators or other gladiators.

It’s sad but it’s how their lives are. 

But Rhaenyra likes these spectacular fights. She doesn't have favorites, after all they all die sooner or later and she doesn't want to be attached to any of these men. She looks at the gladiators, trying to guess who will win, when the crowd begins to chant loudly:

“Caraxes! Caraxes! Caraxes! Caraxes!” and they sound very excited.

“Caraxes?” Rhaenyra asks Laena, who sits on the side of her. She hadn't heard this name last year, so he must be a new gladiator and people’s favorite. 

“Caraxes,” Laena nods with a smile. “Just watch.”

And Rhaenyra looks, anticipating some scary and big warrior because people seemed to like these kinds of gladiators when she left for Pompei. But there He walks into the arena like he's already a winner, arms spread wide, a grin on his lips as the crowd chant his name louder and louder. He isn’t bulky, he is slender and muscular, looking like a dangerous panther. And there is something about him … She can’t just tear her eyes off him. 

And she doesn’t just look. 

She devours him with her eyes. 

She looks at him and wants him.

Travel Documents 118: Solarpunk Winters

Heya folks! Once a week (or when I can) I write book reviews of other folks' stuff. I call them the Travel Documents. Here's this week's!

by Sarena Ulibarri , Wendy Nikel , et al.

Genre:  near-future, solarpunk, social change, climate change

The Dust Cover Copy

This anthology envisions winters of the future, with stories of scientists working together to protect narwhals from an oil spill, to bring snow back to the mountains of Maine, to preserve ecosystems—even if they have to be under glass domes. They're stories of regular people rising to extraordinary circumstances to survive extreme winter weather, to fix a threat to their community's energy source, to save a living city from a deep-rooted sickness. Some take place after an environmental catastrophe, with luxury resorts and military bases and mafia strongholds transformed into sustainable communes; others rethink the way we could organize cities, using skybridges and seascrapers and constructed islands to adapt to the changes of the Anthropocene. Even when the nights are long, the future is bright in these seventeen diverse tales.

The Scene

Worldbuilding

I’ve heard it said in the last few years that what we’re setting ourselves up for isn’t ‘global warming’, as an experience. It’s ‘climate weirding’. The hots will get hotter, and there’s every chance that the colds will get colder. In this world, we’ll need our community connections to get stronger, our coping mechanisms to get clever, and our solutions to get really, really good. In these stories, that’s just what happens, in all the best possible ways.

The Crowd

Characterization

Given that this is a story collection, I won’t dive too deep here, except to say that each of these stories has in it real and wonderful people. Whether it’s the desperately eager and incredibly klutzy Halps of Halps’ Promise, the sweet and angsty Tommi in On The Contrary, Yes or the powerfully grounded and wise Meri of Oil and Ivory, all these stories are full of wonderful characters. I have a few particular favorites: the aforementioned Halps, the sensible and smart Doc Katie of Recovering the Lost Art of Cuddling, and the wonderful crew portrayed in VIAM INVENIEMUS AUT FACIEMUS, IE Stabby, Loopy And Friends Save The Day! But none of these tales falters in their portrayal of the human condition.

Writing Style

Some stories are spare and melodic. One is written as a funny first-person admission essay begging a university to accept a kid who’s either going to invent something amazing or blow himself up. Some stories are raw, and some are kind, and some are cold and crystalline as the world they’re set in.

All of them are delightful.

The Moves

Plot

None of these stories fell down on the plot either. What I particularly appreciated was the immediacy of the problems: this wasn’t saving the whole planet, this was getting through the snowstorm to save your neighbors from freezing to death and then trusting your sled dogs to get you home. This was hiking a mountain to fix a broken pipe that creates power for your community, or figuring out how to fix the transformer before the temperature crashed in the pod, or helping migrating narwhals deal with thick ice. Each of these stories was small and immediate. And read together, each story weaves into a portrayal of the small daily acts that will let us clean up our act and help the world heal from our actions.

Overall Rating

Put on the kettle the next time it snows. Make something hot. Make some toast. Grab your favorite blanket. Get comfy. Then open up this powerful book, and dive into a world of cold hands, warm hearts, and bright hopes. You’ll be glad you did.

my mind is on autism a lot so whenever anything starts with "aut-" i think its immediately autism.

anyway. hearing about the autumn in the northern hemisphere has been confusing.

i hear like "i love it when its autism and the leaves change" until i realise it was not autism. it was autumn. the season.

i cant even type autumn without going to press i and start typign autism.

random /lh rant feel free to ignore

HINJHO;IKTGEPRFESDUIPHHG My favorite season, autism d:)

#Cade Answers #Thank u anon this made me laugh n i needed a laugh right now thank u #i love autism when the leaves change n it gets all chilly outside
