Nothing gets to me like Roman funeral monuments. This time it was the epitaph to Aurelia Philomatio, put up by her husband Aurelius Hermia the butcher. They'd been slaves and childhood friends in the household of Lucius Aurelius, who freed them so they could get married and start a business together. And on Philomatio's gravestone her husband says he loved her, just as much as she loved him...

(From Beryl Rawson, "Finding Roman Women," in A Companion to the Roman Republic, eds. Nathan Rosenstein and Robert Morstein-Marx.)

!!! celebrian in valinor fic!!! 👀👀👀

It probably won't be out for a while yet, since I still need to figure out what the heck I'm actually doing with it. Right now I just have pure angst. Which is fun! But I'd like to get to some healing eventually.

She cannot bear Gil-Galad, so altered by the release of his long burdens that she hardly recognizes his serenity. She cannot bear Celebrimbor, once her dearest friend, now forever overlaid by his dangling corpse and his accursed shackles binding her husband and her mother to his doom. She cannot bear noble grandmother Eärwen, who has never walked the far shore and known its inundating grief. She cannot bear kind grandfather Arafinwë, always with the correct words and actions to just for a moment, make her forget how marred she is. She cannot bear radiant uncle Finrod, for what are her scars against his? She cannot bear uncle Angaráto, nor aunt Eldalótë, nor cousin Orodreth, nor the absence where uncle Aegnor should be, for her story is of little note next to the tragedies and triumphs of their age. She cannot bear the dozens and hundreds of family, old friends, old acquaintances, well-wishers she has never known. “What a pity. What a pity. What a pity!” She doesn’t want to heal. She can’t heal. The scar tissue is all she is now, layer upon layer, down into the marrow. She should have stayed and persisted in that half-life among her true family. She should have faded into a memory of rain on silver glass. She should have laid herself down in Elladan’s gardens and let grief wash her to the Halls of Awaiting. She had to leave. She couldn’t let them bury her. Couldn’t let them see what she is. Queen of Ruination! Spoilt and turned, not even worth twisting into an orc. A footnote in a story nobody will ever read.

So it goes. Moping and wallowing in her deserved misery as the scars heal and start to fade. Until one day she looks up from the embroidery she is mangling and sees another footnote has seated herself across from her. “Hello, cousin,” says the once-Princess of Minas Tirith, of Nargothrond, of a sunken grave. “Gwindor and I have a third ticket to the Flinnrysc concert tonight. You’re coming along.”

Yes I know Celeborn has family too but shh, I'll think of how to integrate them later (and I'd need to come up with names for Galadhon and Galathil's wives).

#silmarillion #silm fic #tolkien #stormwritten #celebrian #provisional title is “may you rise to find the sun” #and there's an Elrond companion fic about his first year without her (which is even more WIP than this) (and will probably be even angstier #I'm sure “Flinnrysc” would make Tolkien roll in his grave #but if he didn't want me mixing languages from decades apart he should've invented more vocabulary #bonus points for whoever can figure out what it means (bonus bonus points for not using eldamo or elfdict)

Alternate Reveal Scenario:

Astarion gets himself knocked out in a fight. Naturally, everyone thinks he is dead. Now he gets to explain to the entire camp how he woke up while they were digging his grave/at his funeral.

#astarion #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #it would be so awkward #the idea of him waking up next to a half dug grave and the entire camp staring as he tries to explain the whole undead thing #popped into my head and I thought it was funny #but also I just realized it could be traumatizing after his whole digging self out of own grave and being locked up for a year situations #and then also realized some characters might be mad as hell at him for it too #what a hell of a way to learn your traveling companion is undead #they just go well he is cold doesn't have a pulse and isnt breathing guess he is dead

[suffarustuffaru]

What If Julius and Subaru both met when Julius was a commoner and Subaru got transported Sooner

fun stuff im sure !! but haah okay given julius was a kid when he was a commoner - yeah theyre both kids here!! not sure how old but definitely somewhere before the age of ten. and i think theyd be up to some shenanigans together im sure!! theyre both very mischevious kids (or from what little we know of little kid julius, given iirc tappei hasnt specified just How Much of a "delinquent" little kid julius is okay. but hes definitely the type to sneak out past curfew or something. stay up late reading too, probably. that sort of thing). and also subarus a kid and no way he ISNT missing home poor guy T^TT getting ripped away from home like that is bad enough at seventeen, getting ripped away from home when you are like. no more than eight or something is Bad. but luckily!! im assuming subaru gets found by the juukuliuses (julius's parents probably?) and thats how julius and subaru form their friendship / long-term yearning for each other (if you so desire that) (okay but no way subaru ISNT gonna form long-term yearning for julius flajsdlf). but yes i think julius and subaru would be silly happy kids together and julius's parents would be like oh no this other kid is so lost where is he from :(( but hes so loved by julius already too... well we got another kid under our roof now.

except. julius's parents die in a flood. so i mean. Hypothetically.... either julisuba survive this one first try or subaru dies for the first time. which. ohh god. oh god. oh g -

#IM. IM JUST GONNA LEAVE ON THAT OMINOUS NOTE #yeah so i think this would turn into childhood friends to Possibly Mutual Pining but actually it might not be mutual if you wanna interpret #reinjuli a certain way. but then but THEN later it can become mutual if u so want #like when u know a person for such a long period of time u change over time. u know?? both you and the relationship u have with this person #has its alterations over time!! thats just how it b but if youre meant to be together youll stick it out <3 #julisuba in every universe they befriend each other for good is #Bound to be together for the rest of their lives. To Me. they are soulmates to Me okay their relationship is important #regardless of what form it takes!!! they could grow to think of each other like brothers in an au like this if u so desire too!! which i #think would be really touching <3 #yeah so. julisuba childhood friends au. shit goes haywire sometimes. its really awful bc subarus a kid so u can imagine the kind of fucked #stuff hes learning rn hahaha. or you can go the happier route and subaru doesnt learn about rbd until later </3 #either way. julisuba real. subarus an eldritch horror. these are both crucial facts for every timeline #i think julius would probs be a bit better having a companion by his side from the very beginning throughout all of this for sure!! #and someone who Gets the jealousy / do i want to be with him or Be him ;-; #i have a fondness for reinjulisuba (THE MESSIEST LOVE TRIANGLE YOUVE EVER SEEN) #and ok if subarus an eldritch horror since childhood then he and reinhard are gonna have Even More in common #hooray for childhood joys and traumas!!!!! #also julisuba visit julius's parents graves :(( leave nice flowers there im sure #subaru-joshua hostility begins also. that sort of thing #rezero #re:zero #ask #natsuki subaru #julius juukulius

i love my friends, i love my friends/we got each other, don’t need no other —i love my friends, foster the people

day 3 of falloutober, distant glow! kitty, carla and veronica in the desert, bullshitting on their way to vegas.

#falloutober2023 #falloutober #fnv courier #fnv companions #carla boone #veronica santangelo #kitty grave #fallout fanart #fallout oc #fallout: nv #fallout: new vegas #fnv veronica #might have to skip tomorrow bc tendonitis hated this one. really bad. but it does look cool #before you say ‘hey kaed why are they in their underwear when it’s cold in the desert’ pay that no nevermind. focus on the important #things: sexy. gay

[verflares]

i think my most shameful bg3 confession ('shameful' in that i just felt kinda bad abt it) is that i love astarion and his va performance dearly. he is probably the party member i keep in my rollout the most, both for how useful he is in combat but also because he makes me laugh and ofc his arc is incredibly well-written but i cannot romance him. ive tried. something about how he'll start saying "gods youre so beautiful" and stuff gave me the ick. like Pleasenever say that to me again

#but i wont lie doing it on top of his grave was funny though. you are insane. #honestly this isnt even just a him thing all of the companions get kinda cringe once you romance them #but astarion being Astarion made is kinda funny. like this wanst happening during the situationship phase lets go back to that #personal.txt

[tex-treasure-chamber]

As a guardian angel, Tex takes the job very, very seriously. Every name on the list of souls to protect and guard from demonic forces is a privilege, every death of said soul a bittersweet conclusion. Human lives are like fireflies, like fireworks---- explosive, brilliant, here only for a moment and then gone from Earth to go about their post-mortem business depending on how they chose to live their lives. Tex can't get enough of it....

Tex also can't get enough of enjoying earthly foods like macarons but that's by the by.

#tex moods #heh.... got it done #a companion piece to both the demon!moriarty board AND the reaper!graves boards :>

[the-trans-dragon]

Sorry for posting 30 tags worth of fanfic of Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis in my most recent reblog's tags, I got carried away, you know how it is

#sorenhoots #i ran out of tags on it but i was almost done lol. i was just gonna say his husband makes birthday cakes for him using meticulously collectd #flowers and their nectar (gregors favorite now that he is a bug) and they grow old together and are buried together in a grave-- #the final shell of an insects long life; laying on its back like a human; and his husband placed under folded insect legs in an embrace that #lasts far beyond death-- #and they remain there undisturbed while the world ages and decays and perhaps they are still there after humanity is gone-- #one of millions of graves where two dear partners are buried together; a curiosity for a future sentient species to find and ponder over-- #especially the grave of the beetle and the man; adorned with artifacts that indicate they both had personalities and lives that were rich #not just a man buried with a prized companion like a dog; but like two equal beings who shared their lifes fully--sharing responsibilitied #and burdens and suffering and hobbies and joys and happiness #okay now im done! hsgffjfdirsky.

AND WHO SAYS GRAVE ROBBING DOESN'T PAY?? THIS BITCH IS SERVING CUNT AND SLAYING ABSOLUTE PENIS!!!!!

— IT IS WIP SUNDAY ♡

TAGGED BY the dear @adelaidedrubman, @morvaris, @aartyom, @risingsh0t, @nightbloodraelle, @phillipsgraves and @leviiackrman to post a wip or two ! ♡

TAGGING: @feystepped, @griffin-wood, @kingsroad, @jendoe, @chuckhansen, @queennymeria, @denerims, @marivenah, @shellibisshe, @jacobseed, @blissfulalchemist, @unholymilf, @corvosattano, @jackiesarch, @fragilestorm, @yennas, @wayhavenots, @malefiicarum, @roofgeese, @detectivelokis, @socially-awkward-skeleton, @jinfromyarikawa, @nuclearstorms, @girlbosselrond, @anoras, @shadowglens, @arklay, @swordcoasts, @nokstella, @danielsullivan and YOU!

as she has had a vice grip on the brain a cute piece for olga ♡ in the future will include minerva and santo and alyssas logan !

The odds of FEDRA’s successes against the Washington Liberation Front are bleak at best. If she is being frank, they’re losing.

They will reach the basement. They will find the specimens in the vault. They will find them. They will find her.

And they will not have her research. 

The soldiers protecting her outside have likely been taken out. Her colleagues, the ones who didn’t leave on Allards transport with her mentor gisela, fleur, yori, and ondria and didn’t manage to find ways out on their own were likely detained or taken out as well. Leaving her alone. 

She wanted it this way. She won’t let the wrong hands reach what she has worked years for to understand the Cordyceps. She won’t let them reach her. 

“Mother, if this is to be my swansong, I want you to avenge me.” she whispers to herself as she removes her lab coat and research scrubs. Olga was currently on the residential level, and she had the room renovated to include a private elevator leading down directly into the research floor; she'll reach the basement level before they do. 

Olga headed from the window overlooking the outer courtyard of what was once the University of Washington hospital; which FEDRA and the Center for Disease Control, or CDC, had turned into a research facility. Walking to her bed and putting on the dress she had laid there Olga made her way to the vanity on the opposite end of her bed. 

She was taught to look her best when treating guests. Even still, she holds the words of her mother in regard. 

It was her mothers dress, a vintage gown from 2002, the soft blue silk slip dress felt dreamlike on her. She would be wearing this for her memory. Olga, now sitting on the chair gazing at her reflection from the vanity, put on a pair of pearl earrings and a pearl necklace, humming to the tune of Tchaikovsky’s swan lake as she did.

The swan will choose her fate today.

ive also began working on the former seattle crew / former washington dc crew and here is what i have so far of minervas ♡ using the loveliest mari's template !

Ok Complete AU Time

AU of the show and of the book.

Where it is physically 14 Claudia and Louis going to Paris, and encountering a 600+ year old, physically 17 Armand. Claudia lives AU, and a AU where Armand and Claudia can go be exploratory and apeshit together. Louis does feature as an extremely reluctant financer of his beloved daughter and her friend.

#it would change so much to a crazy amount #but Armand in book wants a companion to show him the world and Claudia wants it too and they are paralleling #interview with the vampire #amc iwtv #claudia de pointe du lac #vc armand #louis IN THIS IS A DAD FIGURE ALONE NO ROMANCE WITH ARMAND BC THATS A RELIC HIS DAUGHTER COULDA GONE TO SCHOOL WITH #lestat would actually explode also its hilarious theyd bully him back into the grave

...wait a sec is my D&D character just Fitzbattleaxe except swap anxiety for war trauma

#we definitely have a Pure Tenor in the lineup (not a boy though) #and someone I'm pretty sure is a disguised princess or something but it hasn't come out yet #she's like if fairfax cared about his companions Rou gets on with her when she isn't robbing graves #not sure about the alcoholic dryad and runaway teen former assassin with no social skills

[wisdomfish]

Seldom, very seldom, have I found people careless, thoughtless, and indifferent about the world to come, in the hour of death. The man who can tell good stories, and sing good songs to merry companions, turns very grave when he begins to feel that life is leaving his body. The boasting infidel at such a season has often cast aside his infidelity. Men like Paine and Voltaire have often shown that their vaunted philosophy breaks down when the grave is in sight. Tell me not what a man thinks about the soul when he is in the fullness of health; tell me rather what he thinks when the world is sinking beneath him, and death, judgment, and eternity loom in sight.

So I started to replay Wonderlands since I wanted to play something different (and not borderlands 2 from like the 1000th time) and while there are a few gripes I have (well one, and that involves Paladin Mike, but that's a whole other can of worms) I still think this game is pretty good.

Initially I tried to make my oc Salem, I said "tried" because I was reminded that I don't have a blue hair option, and I was like whatever and made her into a white haired, blue skinned spore warden elf.

I haven't gotten too far, I'm just about to head into the woods to retrieve Touge, so I'll probably continue later tonight.

#kitsu chatter #not gonna tag this as b/lands or w/lands #I'll probably go choose grave born for the secondary class so I can have two companions #but still I'll be doing side quest next time I play
