❛  kiss me hard before you go ❜ ✗ eddie & chrissy 「 meme 」
                              EDDIE   LOOKS   AT   THE   BLONDE   with   a   soft   expression,   a   hand   raising   to   cup   her   cheek   affectionately.   His   thumbs   strokes   the   place   just   beneath   an   emerald   eye   and   he   knows   this   may   be   his   last   night.   There   is   no   guarantee   he   is   coming   back   from   the   Upside   Down,   or   that   any   of   them   are   coming   back.   He   has   to   do   this   for   her,   for   Dustin,   for   himself.   He   briefly   considers   that   he's   also   doing   this   for   a   town   full   of   people   that   hate   him,   and   it   doesn't   matter.   This   town   is   home   to   people   he   loves   and   he'll   do   what   he   can   to   protect   them.   He's   run   away   in   fear   once   before   and   he   refuses   to   do   it   again.   Chrissy   Cunningham   has   become   his   strength   and   motivation   more   than   anyone   else.   So   he   isn't   going   to   make   a   promise   he   isn't   a   hundred   percent   sure   he   can   keep.   
❝   I   don't   want   this   to   be   a   kiss   goodbye,   ❞   he   says   softly.   ❝   It's   more   like...see   you   later,   okay?   ❞   Eddie   closes   his   eyes   and   leans   down   to   press   his   forehead   to   hers.   He   wants   to   soak   up   the   essence   of   her   so   he   can   remember   her   in   his   last   moments   should   it   come   to   that.   He   wants   to   kiss   her   so   badly,   has   for   months,   but   he   doesn't   want   to   rush   either.   It   pains   him   that   their   first   kiss   may   also   be   their   last.   
Her   shampoo   smells   sweet   and   her   skin   his   soft   beneath   his   touch.   Chrissy   is   the   girl   he   doesn't   deserve   and   he   doesn't   at   all   know   what   she   finds   appealing   about   him.   He   feels   a   shiver   run   down   his   spine   though   he's   not   sure   what   causes   it;   his   potential   impending   doom   or   the   closeness   of   @kardiaerasti​'s   being.   His   heart   beats   rapidly   in   his   chest   as   his   hand   slides   from   her   cheek   to   the   side   of   her   neck,   her   soft   hair   brushing   against   his   fingers.   
Finally,   he   hooks   his   finger   gently   beneath   her   chin   and   tilts   her   head   up,   presses   his   lips   to   hers   softly.   Eddie   allows   it   to   linger   for   a   moment   before   deepening   it.   He   parts   her   lips   with   his   tongue   and   warmth   spreads   through   his   chest.   A   hand   rests   at   her   hip   and   he   pulls   her   in   close,   their   bodies   pressing   together   as   he   allows   himself   to   get   lost   in   the   kiss.

Continuing Thoughts on WWDITS: Rohan Edition
For @urban-trek-thru-middle-earth
It’s post-war, Grima’s rolled back into town from the Shire. He’s stabbed Saruman, did some light rehab with the Hobbits, and has wandered around and now is back home. Eomer is like, ‘I guess I have to be a Good King and give you a second chance or some shit.’ 
Anyway, meanwhile this film crew has shown up. How and why are irrelevant. Grima is tasked with showing them around and helping them learn the ropes of Edoras, Meduseld and Rohan more broadly. 
Various scenes/plot lines that could happen:
Opens with Eomer having breakfast with Lothiriel and someone is like ‘oh shit oh shit he’s back he’s back’ and Eomer is like, ‘who?’ and they’re like ‘Grima, sire, it’s Grima.’ 
Eomer looks at Lothiriel then the camera crew and is like ‘fuck’ and scoots out of the room. Lothiriel is just confused. 
Grima is given a second chance but is told he’s on thin fucking ice. 
-
Grima trying to bribe the camera crew into giving him all the secrets they know about people. Eomer off camera is like: don’t listen to him, he’s full of lies. 
Grima is convinced cellphones are tiny, rectangular palantiri and keep trying to steal them from the camera crew. He amasses like fifteen of them. He is so pleased with himself. 
Saruman’s ghost shows up for a hot minute to cause trouble and take out revenge on the people who beat him. Eomer is like, ‘I think you need to let this go, my dude, it’s been five years since the war ended. You’ve been a ghost for four of them.’ 
Saruman possesses someone at court and it becomes a game of trying to figure out who it is. 
Eomer, a little freaked out, shaking his head at the camera: We have no idea who it is. It could be anyone. No one has any ideas. 
Grima sits down in one of the 1:1 interviews and is like, ‘I know who it is. But I’m going to see how long it takes until Eomer asks me for help. Or figures it out on his own. I’ve made popcorn. This is the exact kind of entertainment I deserve in my life.’ 
At some point there’s some rumblings from another noble family who feel like the House of Eorl have had their time and it is a new dawn so let’s get some new blood on the throne. 
Grima infiltrates the rebellion and figures out how to use the record function on his “tiny black palantir. I’ve named it Hamet”. Eomer is about to have a heart attack because he’s gone and put his neck out a little in welcoming Grima back and now he’s gone and done a Treason 2.0. 
Except he hasn’t. Grima is like, ‘I figured that I just had to reverse my usual thinking. We want to keep the person on the throne where they are.’ 
Story arc can end with Grima to the camera, ‘With all that has happened, I feel like I’ve managed to actually turn a new leaf. And Eomer sort-of, kind-of trusts me. This is the start of new things. Maybe one day I’ll finally be part of a family or...at the very least the tolerated mouse infestation in the back garden. And if not...’ opens a drawer to take out a bottle of wine and there’s just piles of blackmail material and various poisons (a la the mini-bar fridge scene with Guillermo and the stakes and crosses). 
There’d be some fun minor plots about getting ready for various solstices and festivals and people getting up to hijinks as a result of it. 
-
People are still convinced Grima is in love with Eowyn because that’s how Narratives Are Supposed to Work. Even Grima is convinced. He’s like ‘Eowyn yeah. great woman. um. very pretty. terrifying. utterly terrifying. i mean, i like scary. scary is hot. her brother’s terrifying too and we’ve all seen him, right? so yeah. um. yeah i guess i have a thing for Eowyn. i tried to tell her to reach for the stars once and she told me my words were poison and i should sit on a knife and rotate. which is flirting, so far as i’m aware. i mean Eomer says stuff like that and we’re uh...friends or something. i mean i like him. more or less. for a given value of “like”...he could step on me. it’d hurt. but in a good way.’ 
Sound Tech Ian is the only one who is like ‘you know you’re just into the brother, right?’
-
A WITAN. We would get to see Grima judging the current law-speaker and it would be Glorious. He just nitpicks every decision and anytime the law-speakers makes a pronouncement on a case Grima raises his hand is goes, ‘Just a minor point I wish to raise, but the interpretation of the law of December 3010 as passed by late king Theoden is wrong and what it actually means is...’ 
Eomer looks into the camera, closes his eyes, shakes his head and sighs. 
-
So many moments of Lothiriel looking at the camera and saying “oops” and then awkwardly trying to fix something she accidentally broke or just awkwardly walking away from a conversation. She does finger guns and walks backwards into a pole. ‘I meant to do that’ and keeps going. 
-
Eomer decides he wants to go on a date night and hands off Elfwine to Eothain to watch. Eothain dumps the kid on Grima who goes and finds Eomer and Lotheriel and spends the night annoying them thereby effectively making it a family evening on the town. 
-
Oh there’d be drama about people’s horses and who has the best horse (we all know Saewin was the best, RIP), and people go to crazy lengths to sabotage each other. But they don’t hurt the horses, just one another.
-
One season should have a visit from Aragorn, Arwen, Eowyn, and Boromir (who is alive for Reasons). It’s all pomp and circumstance. There is intrigue and plotting and Grima shit disturbing. Faramir’s left behind in Gondor because someone has to mind the accounts while the king is off on holiday. 
Grima tells Eowyn she could have done better and Eowyn is like, ‘eXcUsE mE’ and Grima is like, ‘I said what I said.’ 
Eowyn, Arwen, and Lothieriel hang out and get rose drunk while shit talking people. Eowyn has a list of Grievances. She’s like ‘At that point, Lord Bosphir died of cancer and as he was a real cunty person no one was sad.’ 
Lothiriel, ‘savage.’ 
Arwen, ‘this is her being nice.’ 
Aragorn insists he and Eomer do a pub crawl to cement their brothership and afterwards Eomer crawls out of whatever haystack he fell into to die the previous night and finds Grima staring at him, deeply unimpressed. And Eomer is all, ‘in my defense, I am not twenty anymore.’ 
‘He’s over ninety.’ 
‘Dunedain, Grima,’ Eomer tries to stand. ‘I think I’m still drunk. But they’re magic.’ 
‘You smell like a piss trough and look worse, my lord.’ Promptly dumps water on him. 
Eowyn and Grima getting into bitch-off sessions about people though--gold. It’s the only time they ever get along. 
I’ll add more as they come to me.

I'm pretty sure Rings of Power will be Lord of the rings 2.0
Arondir is actually half elven and will choose to be with that healer chick as a human.
Merry and Pippin 2.0 will venture away from the shire and have an expedition similar to Sam and Frodo. Hobbit life as we know it is established because no one wants to go through that trauma again. Fuck it.
I'm not sure if Galadriel is already established as a ruler, if not, it will be established by the end of the show.
Humans??? Their king returns/get a ruler of their own?

We agree that Brienne deserves better than Jaime but does the author think so? And what about Brienne? What does "she deserves better" even mean? What do you think of her attraction towards him? Is it supposed to be positive or a result of her low self-esteem / bad taste in men? If Jaime ends up screwing up, I can't see how she could still love him.
Hi there!
To me "deserves better" means that Brienne is in essence a good person who is trying her best and not just playing at it. And she would deserve someone as good as Samwell Tarly. That is my opinion, but of course that does not mean that Brienne will get a Samwell Tarly. If Brienne gets Jaime, then she will get him because the author decided that their arcs lead there - and you can argue for that, there are hints, but it is not a foregone conclusion.
I've said it before, a satisfying ending does not necessarily mean that people get what they deserve and it certainly does not mean that the author's fav will be rewarded - I just remind you that Frodo sort of deserved better but his ending was prepared by the author from the moment he left the Shire and dreamt of the Western Shores.
I can imagine several outcomes where the Jaime-Brienne relationship can come to a satisfying ending: Jaime knighting Brienne would be very nice for example. It could also be satisfying if he dies for her in an act of true chivalry and asks her that at least she will cherish his memory. There are many possibilities.
As for Brienne's attraction: I think it is of course born of the circumstances. Brienne has been ridiculed for a long time and somehow she is resilient enough to carry on.
We as readers flinch when Jaime insults her at the beginning of her relationship, but what is interesting is that he often holds back and does not say the quip that comes to his mind out loud - so Brienne does not know he thought that.
And then he saves her from certain death, accepts her wanting to wear male clothes and armour, presents her with a sword and tells Loras to his face and in her hearing that she would easily best him. It hardly needs any emphasis that Brienne has never experienced that before. It is only natural that she likes him, even if you could argue that he shows no more than common decency. Just remember that Brienne is accustomed to the likes of Randyll Tarly....
So, in a way her infatuation is not due to the fact that she knows Jaime very well, but the side she sees is actually likeable. She changed her opinion of him and now she is convinced that she now knows the real Jaime - which is a natural conclusion. If you have worked something out you tend to be convinced. I think all in all her crush on Jaime - which she is aware of and slightly ashamed of - is rather positive than negative, an opportunity for her to grow however the outcome will be.
I think their relationship would only have a true chance if Brienne changes her opinion a second time and learns to see his flaws again. I think she might just do that. It might lead to her being disappointed or it might lead to her accepting him (even if only as a friend). And that does depend entirely on how they will meet again.
I suspect we will see Jaime at the Red Wedding 2.0. where Lady Stoneheart will exact her revenge. And this might be a traumatizing event that will decide where Jaime and Brienne's relationship will go.
Whatever will happen I think it will be far better for Brienne than what we had on the show. The knighting ceremony was nice but the one night stand was awkward and I'd rather not have that.
Thanks for the ask!

hey! yo! you mind talking a bit more about the extended fëanorian family ocs you have? how many there are, how they’re related, when they’re born, the rough arc of their life?
Hello thank you for your ask! No I don't mind talking about them at all! I love them all very much but please be prepared that this is going to be a long one and that I couldn't even fit everything I want to talk about in here
I have talked about Maglor's, Caranthir's and Curufin's wives before so I left them out on purpose. So I'm just going to talk about the third and fourth generation here.
If you exclude Elrond and Elros Maglor and his wife Cellin have four children and in order of their birth their names are Gilloth, Nelladon, Gilrin and Belegur. Gilloth has a son named Arrod, none of the other three are married or have children. Curufin and his wife Aiwë have one more child besides Celebrimbor, Aracundo. Celebrimbor himself has a son named Aenion. Caranthir and Calairie remain childless. I'm not sure yet where Gil-Galad belongs family wise in my headcanon but let's just assume he's Orodreth's son for convenience.
I don't exactly have stories for them all. Aracundo, Nelladon and Aenion are probably the most fleshed out one's when it comes to their stories but I love them all regardless.
Tumblr media
A badly drawn family tree for reference. If you want some more details there are about 2k words of bullet points under the cut :)
Gilloth
Daughter of one of Maedhros's guards and Maglor's second in command
Born some time before the Nirnaeth Arnoediad
Both her parents die in the Nirnaeth, and she is taken in by Maglor and his wife Cellin and is raised as their daughter
Loses her voice during the War of Wrath but refuses to tell anyone how it happened (possible Trauma related?)
Helps Celebrimbor run Eregion in the S.A
Is very interested in architecture and has great talent
Also helps with the construction of Rivendell and moves there after Eregion falls
Has great impact on her siblings upbringing
She and Erestor start courting after Glorfindel locks them in a room together and only allows them out after Erestor confesses his feelings
They marry mid Third Age
Their only child is called Araráto or Arrod in Sindarin
Because Maglor has given all his children a father name (be they his real children or not) she got one as well
It's Tintanárë (Sparkling Fire)
She's very close with Aracundo especially during the latter half of the second Age and the early Third Age
Her favourite people in Middle Earth are dwarves. She gets along well with them and even learns some Khuzdul from Narvi because she can't just reveal the secret
She is very strong at Oswanë and uses is constantly to communicate
Elrond has a lot of headaches because she directs her absurd thoughts at him to annoy him
Arrod is her sunshine and she would die for him
Not a very good warrior but she's doing her best
Aracundo
Second Born son of Curufin and Aiwë of the Teleri
Fathername: Artafinwë (Exalted Finwë)
He's my depressed disaster gay
Tall boy™ (maybe even taller than Maedhros?)
Born: 464 F.A (same year as Turin because reasons) in Nargothrond
He doesn't remember his dad because his parents parted ways after the Lúthien incident
He grows up in Cirdans care because that's where his mom took him
His best friend growing up was Ereinion even though the other is several years older than him
He doesn't have a lot of temperament and is more like his mother, calm and sensitive
Fights in the War of Wrath as Ereinion's second in command but is more known for his strategies and not for his actions on the battlefield
He and Ereinion get married early into the Second Age (yes he's Gil-Galad's husband and they love each other very much fight me)
He goes absolutely berserk once he sees his brother used as a banner of Sauron's forces after Eregion falls and probably takes down half their army by himself
People who knew Maedhros had a very very vivid flashback that day
When his mother sails not long after he remains in Middle Earth to fight Sauron
He gets much more quiet and reserved after losing his brother, mother and nephew in one go
He is very much pro Last Alliance and openly supports Elendil but mostly because he wants to avenge Celebrimbor's death
Uh… you know who dies during that battle? Ereinion and Aracundo blames himself for it
He stops speaking and becomes a shadow of himself afterwards
Refuses both the crown and Vilya
Lives with Cirdan for some time but moves to Rivendell after Celebrían sails to support Elrond
Has no big part in the second ring war
He sails alongside Cirdan and Celeborn
His life gets from good to worse to tragic to suffering
But he gets reunited with Ereinion in Valinor so it's not a total tragedy
Nelladon
Maglor's and Cellin's first biological child
Born: 1700 S.A
Died: 2770 T.A.
Has Nerdanel's signature red hair but otherwise full on takes after his mother's side of the family
His fathername is Russanáro (copper fire)
Aso has the epithets Copperhead from the dwarves, Pityatinto (Little Sparkle) from his grandfather and Tyalmahto (Toymaker) from the Numenorians
Self sacrificing idiot (we'll get to that later)
His passion is toymaking but also woodworking but he's also a great singer and loves storytelling
For every new baby family member he makes an abundance of toys and when all of them grow up he travels the world to make toys for the children of other families
The only members of his own family to never receive a toy from him are his younger brother Belegur, as well as his cousins on his mother's side of the family (all of them are born after his death)
A very good boy, only wants to make the people happy
He finds Aenion again with the dwarves of Erebor after they establish their kingdom there
Tries to talk him into visiting their family but stays unsuccessful until his death
Speaking of his death and self sacrificing
He dies during Smaugs attack on Erebor while he tries to make time for Thrain and Thror to escape. He faces Smaug in the throne room with nothing more than a iron shield on him
And burns
He fully knew he was going to die but he did it for his friends
Probably aroace
Also the first member of the House of Fëanor to get re-embodied
Gilrin
Maglor's and Cellin's only biological daughter and Fëanor's only biological granddaughter
Born: 20 T.A.
Like Celegorm she takes after Miriel in terms of appearance but inherited her grandfather Tinwës blonde hair
Not the tallest but still like half an inch taller than Fëanor and Curufin
Has a lot of artistic talent and can paint life like images
She painted the wall painting of Isildur cutting of Sauron's finger only with a very bad sketch from Glorfindel and a mental image provided by Galadriel as a reference
Basically always happy and smiling
Hates it when she has one-sided conversations, feels like she's intruding somehow
Celebrían is her big idol and she was devastated when she got hurt and had to sail
Was even more devastated after Nelladons death and isolated herself for a while
Starts traveling with Gildor and his group from that point on to get some distraction and is among the elves who meet Frodo, Pippin and Sam in the Shire
Will not sail until her parents do
Does her best to support Aragorn as the new king of Gondor because she feels like that's what's she owes to Elrond and partially also Elros even though she never met him
The most Avarian out of her siblings
Belegur
Finwë 2.0
Seriously the boy looks like Finwë as much as Arwen looks like Lúthien
People find it quite disturbing (People are Maglor, Glorfindel and Cirdan)
Fathername: Cuináro (living fire)
Born: either 3019 T.A. or somewhere between 10 and 50 Fourth Age
Youngest member of the House of Fëanor even younger than his youngest nephew
Elladan, Elrohir, Arwen and Arrod call him little uncle and he hates it (he loves it but pretends he hates it)
Spends most of his childhood in Gondor because his parents moved the like almost immediately to be with Aragorn and Arwen
Has a deeper connection to men than all of his other siblings (aside from Elros for obvious reasons)
He feels weird when he sees his best friends from childhood grow up, get children and then see those grow up and have children of their own all while he himself is still a child/teenager/going adult
When Elfwinë's son Éomund II. who he was closest with dies, Belegur is devastated
His relationship with mortality becomes rather complicated afterwards
Dedicated scholar and historian
Also only sails when his parents will
Has a very easy time befriending people
Probably the best warrior out of his biological siblings just because Gilrin hates fighting and Nelladon just doesn't care about weapons
In possession of the one Feanorian Braincell might as well have inherited it from his mother)
Aenion
Celebrimbor's son
Born somewhere between 1620 and 1680 S.A
I have no idea who his mother is, any suggestions?
Thought about making him the love child of Tyelpë and Annatar but this feels kinda weird but also hilarious
Looks like Curufin acts like Caranthir
Cantëacurufinwë™ (blame the fact that Tyelpë is called Nelyacurufinwë)
Aenion probably isn't his real mothername but he calls that himself and everyone just does the same
Grumpy cat™
Raised by dwarves after Eregion fell and stayed with Durin's line until the Sacking of Erebor (Thrain brought him to Rivendell)
Speaks almost no Sindarin but is fluent at Westron and Khuzdul
Has no interest in learning Quenya
Creative use of swear words
A Smith like almost everyone else in his father's line
If he is Sauron's child, he has very much cat eyes and you can't convince me otherwise, also the Ring would probably love him
He goes back to Erebor after the dwarves retake it and helps them rebuild it
Feels very guilty for Nelladons death because he couldn't convince him to flee with him
Can't look Cellin or Maglor in the eye because of this
Fights during the War of the Ring alongside the Dwarves of Erebor
Sails with Gimli and Legolas
Arrod
Son of Gilloth and Erestor
Born sometime after his parents wedding
Takes more after his father in terms of appearance but has been influenced a lot by Glorfindel growing up
A total goof
One of the elves who 'greet' Thorin and company when they arrive in Rivendell
Gets into unnecessary fights very often
Very protective
Loves Estel to death and is very sad when Aragorn grows up and doesn't want to be carried around piggyback style anymore
Does it anyways
Idk I have not thought about him a lot
Here and here are Picrews that visualise them :) || Tolkien OC Overview here

                              HE   HAS   NO   IDEA   WHY   HE   LET   BILLY   talk   him   into   this.   What   was   he   thinking?   The   two   of   them   had   similar   interests,   sure,   but   their   styles   were   vastly   different.   Eddie   was   more   grunge   than   anything   with   jeans,   t-shirts,   and   Coverse,   while   Billy   was   stylistic.   Not   that   he   minded   it   for   the   other   man   because   he   looked   fucking   great   in   it.   Eddie,   on   the   other   hand,   was   going   to   look   like   a   total   idiot   wearing   Billy's   clothes.   He'd   been   hesitant   to   take   his   clothes   off,   and   not   because   the   redhead   hadn't   seen   him   naked   before   because   he   most   definitely   had.   It   felt   like   taking   a   layer   of   his   own   skin   off   and   putting   on   someone   else's.

...So about the ORNJ_JNPR T-shirt thing...
daggerpawstudios asked
“Okay I am the only confused by all the hate that Oscar is getting right now because they dropped some new merch at the RT Store. I am not sure if you heard that Team JNPR got called Team ORNJ on the new shirt. I feel like this is kind of a mistake on the marketing team's part and not really CRWBY. But now a lot of people are attacking RG shippers and Oscar fans and I don't really understand because it seems more like fragile egos”
Squiggles Answers:
@daggerpawstudios​
Hey there Dagger. Well to be honest with you fam, this squiggle meister has sort of been out of the RWBY loop for the past few months. Got a work project so I haven’t been as active as I normally would be in my squiggle shire here on Tumblr.
Nevertheless, I did sort of know about the shirt thing. I first heard the news from a tweet from RWBY Youtuber Calxiyn it over on Twitter. I then saw RWBY Youtuber ThatKaitoDan mention Oscar replacing Jaune as leader of Team JNPR in his own tweet post as well but I didn’t know the full context of what he meant by that until you brought this to my attention.
I didn’t know that RT had actually listed the shirt as Team ORNJ which in their case is…well…a big OOF on their part. Personally, I don’t think this is something that folks in the FNDM should be making a big hullabaloo about. I think it’s an obvious PR mistake on the marketing department who run the RT store releases since no offense to RT and whoever is in charge of promotion on their online store but…their record of “getting things right” their store especially with the FNDM hasn’t exactly been squeaky clean in the past.
Besides, another obvious giveaway to me as to why I think it’s more likely to be a minor error is the very fact that Jaune’s silhouette is still first in line.
Tumblr media
Think about it. If Oscar had really usurped Jaune as leader of the team then why isn’t his silhouette first in the line up? 
Isn’t it not a golden rule of thumb that the leaders of each huntsmen team always appear first in the team line-up whenever they do the silhouette thing as we’ve seen previously with teams like RWBY and even the Ace Ops? 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyone with decent vision can clearly see that that’s Jaune’s silhouette at the front of the line. Not Oscar. If Oscar was truly the new leader of the team then why is he the third silhouette? 
If thing had really turned ORNJ, then the order should be Oscar, Ren, Nora and finally Jaune. But as you can clearly see, the order is Jaune, Ren, Oscar and Nora.----THE SAME ORDER THAT WAS FEATURED IN THE VOLUME 7 OPENING! Or did folks…y’know…forget that? 
Tumblr media
I know V7 ended earlier in the year but have folks forgotten the season already with its opening sequence? After Team RWBY, we got the JNPR 2.0 gang and the order in which JNR and Oscar appear matches the T-shirt with Jaune being first, then Ren, then Oscar and finally Nora. So there you go. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I wouldn't worry too much about that Dagger. I agree with you in thinking that it was a simple error made by the RT store. However, that being said, the other part about people stirring discourse over this and worst yet attacking the Pinehead and Rosegarden community over this…do I even need to say how silly that sounds.
Much like with the ridiculous discourse that arose after the small Rosegarden moment in V7CH9, this is yet another classic example of certain-certain folks literally scraping the bottom of the barrel and using any excuse they could find to harp on something they don't like while unfairly accosting the people who do.
I feel really bad for my fellow Pineheads, Rosegardeners and Rosegardening Pineheads who were victims of this time of foolishness. Because that's what this all sounds like to my ears. Foolish fools acting foolish yet again.
Seriously, what does Oscar as a character or even Rosegarden as a ship have to do with something that was posted by the RT store and is clearly an error made by the people who run it?
Are certain-certain folks truly that desperate to stir up drama and conflict that they would honestly seep so low as to use a T-shirt design as fuel for an easy argument?
The Pinehead, Rosegarden and Rosegardening Pinehead communities get enough flak as it is but this is just...beyond silly!
I'm not implying that the hate brigade should train their anger on RT but how silly can you be to take something as a T-shirt design to that level of seriousness? Especially when the design more or less outs its own error. Am I missing something here? Is there another unknown part to this where the CRWBY Writers came out and confirmed that this is legit? Because otherwise, this is just…so…LIKE SERIOUSLY DUDE?!
I like RWBY a lot and in spite of my own personal gripes and nit-picks with the direction of the show at times in terms of its writing and treatment of the characters and their respective relationships and arcs---in spite of all that, I still actively enjoy the show and I’m still invested in seeing where the CRWBY Writers take it to the very end. However I’d be lying if all the constant discourse from the more “toxic” side of FNDM isn’t slowly starting to chip away at my excitement for the series. I can live with RWBY having flaws but what I don’t need are folks constantly going out of their way to use any excuse they could to express their own personal gripes with show; going as far as to abuse others in the process. That kind of stuff isn’t cool and it’s not good to witness through the eyes of someone who wants to enjoy the show or is at least trying to...y’know what I mean?
When I first heard the news of the JNPR shirts, I was excited. Not only is this the first merch we’ve gotten of JNPR in some time but it’s also the second merch to feature Oscar.
In case folks don’t realize, Oscar doesn’t have a lot of his own merchandise sold by RT which sucks for us Pineheads.
At least the OG JNPR/JNR have a couple of merchandise (albeit not as popular or abundant as Team RWBY’s but still there). 
But Oscar…not so much and the same can be said for Ozpin too.  It took RT six whole seasons to release ONE T-SHIRT DESIGN with Oscar and Oz on the front and even that was sort of short-lived since I don’t see that shirt advertising in the store anymore. It’s always the same ole Team RWBY stuff.
So with that in mind, this shirt was a first and a given. It’s so great to see Oscar together with JNR on a shirt because in a way, it makes it more official that he is a member of their group especially for those of us who were rooting for this to happen since V5.
Tumblr media
I still don’t think it means that he is the leader because as I’ll say again, look at the order on the shirt design. Oscar is third. Right where Pyrhha used to be. How can he be leader and be third in the line-up? Oscar is meant to replace Pyrhha, not Jaune. 
In the case of this whole ORNJ JNPR T-shirt scandal, I don’t understand how on Earth a clear marketing typo could reach as far as to spark discourse for a fictional character of a series, his fans and the fans of one of his ships? AGAIN!
What does Team JNPR (or whatever they will be called) being miswritten as Team ORNJ has to do with us Pineheads, Rosegardeners and Rosegardening Pineheads? How are we as a fan community responsible for an error made by RT?
Even if there are Pineheads who think this should be official--NOT speaking for myself here but I have seen other Pineheads express their desire to see Oscar lead JNPR for their own reasons---still, this is no excuse to harp on someone for liking it just because you don’t.
You’re right Dagger; this doesn’t make sense to me either.
All I can say is that it is what is it. Another example of certain-certain folks using any excuse to harp on something they don’t like while trying to drag others down with them and/or ruin their good vibes. 
Seriously these types of folks are honestly scraping at the bottom of the barrel. I’m surprised they’re still able to see after sinking so low with their foolishness. If that sounds a bit too harsh then sorry; not sorry. 
Ever since the whole discourse over the minor Rosegarden moment for V7CH9, I have lost all patience with these types of fans. I honestly find them to be as dumb as their behaviour and it exhausts me just hearing about them and their nonsense. 
Losing their marbles and attacking my people over a bloody T-shirt error that ain’t got nothing to do with us.
SO...DAMN...SILLY!
I hope RT clears this up at some point. And even if they don’t, I really don’t see why people should believe this means anything. I certainly don’t.
Not like I want that to happen either. In my opinion, I was never in favour of ORNJ---at least, not right now when Oscar is still a teenager growing into his duties and responsibilities as a huntsman. To me, I only like the idea of Team ORNJ from the perspective of Jaune retiring/stepping down from his role as leader of a huntsman team; instead choosing to pass the torch onto Oscar after the former farm boy had matured into a fine huntsman under his team’s guidance and after proving himself in the eyes of his teammates, especially Jaune. 
Y’know that kind of idea. 
This is why I always referred to JNR and Oscar as JNPR 2.0. I want JNR to become Oscar’s team and surrogate brothers and sister in arms. I want Oscar and Jaune to have a close big brother-little brother type of dynamic where Oscar admires Jaune’s strength and leadership and looks up to him alot as both a close confidant (much like Ruby) and teammate while Jaune himself admires Oscar’s tenacity after everything he’s been through while making it his role to look out for him along with Nora and Ren.  
This doesn’t mean I want Oscar to replace Jaune as team leader nor do I think he should.
I’ve heard some folks rationalize that Oscar should lead JNR since he is Ozpin’s successor. Nothing against the folks who like this concept but if I were to add my $2.50 to this, I don’t think Oscar being Oz’s successor should automatically qualify him to take over JNR; y’know what I mean?
Jaune earned his place as leader of JNPR after proving his talent for leadership back in V1. 
The only time that Jaune took a step back was when Ruby led the group as RNJR between V4 and V5 since at the time, the trio were aiding Ruby with her objective to get to Mistral, as Ren said. But even then, Jaune was still a leader and  backed up Ruby’s calls with his own strategies. 
Not to mention that folks seem to be forgetting that Ozpin was the one who chose Jaune to lead JNPR.
Though we never got a scene of Jaune confronting Oz on his decision to make him team leader like we did with Ruby Rose in “The Badge and the Burden” episode (I think that was the title. Correct me if I’m wrong), much like Ruby, Oz picked Jaune and was of sound mind when he did. Oz picked Jaune to lead since despite his past hiccups and shortcomings, he saw that Jaune also had the makings of a great leader as shown during JNPR’s first fight against the Deathstalker.
So the whole notion of Oscar getting to be leader of JNR  JUST BECAUSE he’s Oz’s successor EVEN THOUGH it was Oz’s decision to choose Jaune to be leader of JNPR in the first place---yeah that doesn’t sit right with me. 
Jaune is meant to be a leader and JNPR is his team to lead; even with Oscar joining it. Sorry ORNJ-fans. But that’s where I stand on that. 
Anyways, that’s all I have to say on this subject. I hope I answered you Dagger.

Happy Holidays! I'm dropping into some of my fave creator's ask boxes and encouraging them to Spread the Cheer by Sharing What You Created This Year! Before a new year starts, take some time to reflect on the things you wrote or created to bless the fandom this past year. Remind us all of the awesomeness you put out there in 2019, and feel free to tease us with things to come in 2020! Then pass this along to your faves, so they can share in the fun!
Aaah! Thank you anon(s)! ❤️❤️❤️
2019 is my first full year of fic-ing, and according to AO3 I have written nearly three hundred and sixty-six thousand words, which considering that I was always the kid who submitted nine and one third pages for a ten page essay is kind of astounding. 
I had three fics begun in 2018 that carried on to this year, the first is Finding the Altar, my first attempt at the secret dating trope, mostly written last November but I wrote the epilogue for the 2019 January Joy. The second carry-over is Another Brick in the Wall, begun exactly a year ago and finished a few months into the year. It is the high school AU that I never meant to write but that ended up taking over my life, still one of my favourite fics because of how much I enjoyed writing it. Finally there’s also Both Are Infinite, which was started last September and is still unfinished. I am SO sorry for that, but I promise it will be finished. It is not abandoned!!
For things started in 2019 we have: 
The Key, an angsty, smutty one-shot written for January Joy
Their Way By Moonlight, the love of my life and my number one priority for 2020. It’s a 3B canon divergence in which Emma and Killian are soulmates who can share dreams, which leads to him coming for her and restoring her memories in New York in a very different way than in canon. There’s also a different curse on Storybrooke and a very different development for Emma and Killian’s relationship, along with loads of Captain Cobra and cursed Snowing, and an arc for Regina (including a partnership between her and Killian) that I really love.  
Honeysuckle, the purest thing I’ve ever written. Precious cinnamon roll Librarian Killian, and single-mother Emma who gets caught in a precarious situation until he comes to her rescue. Inspired by @shireness-says
Three Non-Blondes, secret-dating attempt number two. Very silly, but fun, with maybe my favourite version of Mary Margaret. 
The Depths of Love, another 3B divergence with no second curse. Emma trying to work out her feelings and Killian trying to protect himself from heartbreak. Also my very first collaboration with @thisonesatellite and honestly I’m not sure this story would exist without her. 
The smutty trio of Schadenfreude parts One and Two, and Steak and Something on the Side.   Voyeur Neal and Asshole Walsh. 
Osaka-shi Serenade, the most personal thing I’ve written. Based on how my husband and I met when we were teaching English in Japan. Still unfinished, but again, *will* be!
Two Sunday Mornings, a pair of angsty ficlets from each of their POVs, plus Brothers Jones. 
One More Kiss, a Lieutenant Duckling short fic that I didn’t love when I wrote it but has really grown on me, to the point where I might (*might*) expand it at some point. Quite angsty, but happy at the end. 
The Great Grammar Caper, a very very VERY silly future fic in which Deputy Jones is the hero we need but his efforts are foiled by a devious Granny. 
Rainbound, a take on the snowed-in trope, only with rain.  
The Parquet Man, absolutely and without question the most fun I’ve ever had writing. The storied romance that is Captain Floor, told from the POV of Killian (by me) and Floor (by @thisonesatellite, who writes unorthodox POVs like NO ONE ELSE). 
The Very Witching Time and its follow-up The Sleep of the Sun, written for @cssns and @cspupstravaganza respectively. My very favourite verse, in which Emma is a witch and Killian cursed in the form of a dog. There is magic and an extraordinary house with a sentient garden, and creepy forest, and more magic, and Cora with an evil plot, and even more magic, and some adorable and surprising children at the end. PLUS some absolutely stunning art by @mariakov81 to accompany it ❤️❤️❤️
How Not To Flirt, based on a prompt. Emma tries to flirt with Killian but he fails entirely to see it. 
Words Unspoken, a friends-to-roommates-to-lovers story full of mutual pining and very, very poor communication. 
The Ballad of Emma and Killian, in which they are not famous when they meet, but when their careers take off they stand by each other through it all. Rockstar!Emma and actor!Killian.  
On What They Fall, my magnificent octopus. Angry, damaged Killian who can’t see how much Emma loves him. Mutual pining, angst, Captain Book brOTP, and people working through their emotions, prioritising their mental health, and coming out of hard times strong and brave enough to allow themselves to be happy. Another personal favourite. 
abandon, a birthday gift for @kmomof4. Neverland sex-pollen smut, pure and simple. Well, simple anyway. 
come sit at our feast, a Halloween fic written for @csrolereversal Halloweek. Without question the most out-there thing I’ve written, with all the OUAT characters reimagined as supernatural beings who come together every Halloween to throw themselves a hell of a party. 
Drink The Wild Air, a birthday gift for @thisonesatellite which will be finished SOON. The Captain Duckling high-seas swashbuckling adventure tale I’ve wanted to write for some time. Featuring Brothers Jones 2.0 and CASTLE STORMING. 
Drabbles, a series of short fics of all kinds, written when I need to clear my mind. 
Across The Snowy Places, a Thanksgiving tropestravaganza. Featuring secret dating, snowed-in, only one bed, heater not working, favourite author, found families, matchmaking, and drunken affection/confession. ALL THE TROPES. 
To Keep It All The Year, my Christmas gift for @katie-dub. Final chapter coming soon! This story has just flowed out of me. It features angry, broken Killian, single-mother Emma, adorable wee bab Henry, and some extraordinary Christmas magic. 
WHEW!! I think that’s all of them! I’m a bit 😮😲😳🤯 looking at this list. It’s been a less-than-great year on the whole, to be honest, but at least productive on the fanfic front!! 
Thanks for the ask, anon, and I hope you have a great Christmas and a brilliant New Year!!

Character Introduction 01
Mirabella Tuk, a somewhat different kind of hobbit, but well known for her positive and humorous outlook on even the gloomiest of days.
She is based on the story “Gefährten 2.0″ by Elenor-Rohir and one of eight new companions.
Short snippet from the story (I translated it):
The 38-year-old drove her mare into a gallop with a merry song on her lips.
“Run, Nightstar, as long as we still can! We’re late anyway. You can rest once we get to Bilbo.”
The young woman’s appearance was quite unusual: She was a hobbit-woman, which was particularly noticeable by her long, brown curls and the cheerful, natural demeanour. However, what stood out was her rather big appearance for a hobbit and the shoes on her feet. For a hobbit a very rare sight indeed.
Nonetheless, she was friends with Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit that one day just up and went on an adventure with some dwarfs and the old wizard that roamed around the Shire from time to time. He had returned with riches no hobbit had ever seen before and the people quickly ushered whispers of inheriting his thirst for adventure from the old Tuk, his grandfather.
Perhaps, that was the reason why Mira got along with him so well. She also belonged to the Tuks family and with it the call for adventures, but that was not all. It was rumoured that her unusual size was due to the fact that no pure hobbit blood flowed through her veins. Perhaps she would still sit quietly at the stove and live an ordinary, peaceful life, if it hadn’t been for her parents’ death.
She had lost her parents at a very young age, leaving her behind as an orphan, raised by Bilbo Baggins as if she was his own. But that was another story for another day; today she might go on her biggest adventure yet, where her serenity and courage will be tested. Has her previous adventures prepared her enough for what is to come?

Guerras de Midgard, Cap 14: Portões de Sangue
Primeiro ponto: desculpem a demora, mas nos últimos dias deixei-me completamente sugar por um BOM LIVRO e esta merda ficou esquecida a um canto, nem tinha coragem de pegar nele. A vossa sorte é que estou a acabar o livro e o segundo ainda leva umas duas semanas a chegar cá a casa.
Segundo ponto: o/a (desculpa, não sei se és rapaz ou rapariga!) @apopheniac chamou-me a atenção para várias coisas. Primeiro, que o poema do capítulo 8, afinal, é tradução quase directa de uma música de Manowar. Não me teria importado com isto se o Zuzarte não tivesse um currículo extenso de plágio e não tivesse referido Manowar na nota de autor lmao:
Manowar, Glory Majesty Unity:
Gods of war I call you My sword is by my side I seek a life of honor Free from all false pride I will crack the whip With a bold mighty hail Cover me with death If I should ever fail
Zuzarte:
Deuses da Guerra, eu louvo-os Eu vivo para lutar e servir-vos Concedam-me este pedido final de ajuda Nesta minha próxima luta Os vossos inimigos ir-se-ão ajoelhar A vossos pés no palácio de Osíris. Cubram-me de mortes se eu alguma vez falhar. Ergam-se, guerreiros dos mortos.
lol
Chamou-me ainda à atenção para uma coisa que o meu namorado já me tinha referido, e a propósito de uma mensagem de um anon, passo a colocar aqui ambas:
Anon: 
Omd acabei de me aperceber que a ampulheta do gajo é a do jogo Prince of Persia e o Dahaka provavelmente também lmao
Portanto, isto
@apopheniac​:
esqueci-me de comentar isso no post certo, mas sim, todo o plot do Dakaka é roubado de um Prince of Pérsia qualquer (segundo me tinham dito na altura que li o livro)
E chamou-me ainda a atenção para outra coisa ainda mais interessante. Lembra-se desta frase?
Elen sila lumenn omentilmo.
Deixo o que @apopheniac disse: 
"elen sila lumen omentielvo" é "uma estrela brilha na hora do nosso encontro", que é o que o líder dos elfos diz ao Frodo quando eles encontram elfos no Shire... Mas aqui é algo completamente diferente, claro. E ou ele se enganou a copiar do Senhor dos Anéis ou então mudou ligeiramente para não ser plágio?
Tumblr media
Para quem achava que isto era Zuzarte unleashed e que ele até teve ideias, embora más, desengane-se. Nada mudou.
Antevisão: no qual todos nós perdemos tempo e eu tento desenhar.
Ficam a saber que estou a escrever isto enquanto oiço música de igreja de fundo.
Ora eu vou ser sincera, já não me lembro muito bem do que é que se passou da última vez excepto que o Jaime se saiu com um discurso da merda sobre humildade ao mesmo tempo que não tinha humildade nenhuma e cagou no rei NO EXACTO MOMENTO em que as putas malditas das elfas negras apareceram-lhe à porta. Era isto, não era? Ora então vamos lá.
Uma águia sobrevoava os rios do Vale de Naeroy com uma víbora fortemente agarrada entre as garras.
Era a víbora que estava agarrada às garras, ou as garras que a seguravam? Nunca o saberemos, excepto que, o que quer que seja que se esteja a passar, passa-se “fortemente”.
A meio do voo, a cobra mordeu a majestosa ave de rapina nas patas e a presa e o predador precipitaram-se para a morte.
Halibut vê isto, e epítome da esperteza, pensa que é mau presságio, e que a sua próxima batalha se vai mais assemelhar a um “banquete para necrófagos do que uma vitória gloriosa”.
Anfalar já fora alvo de vários assaltos e nenhum fora bem sucedido, mas neste caso duzentos mil contra um milhão colocaria à prova o génio das tácticas de guerra dos Altos Elfos.
Tumblr media
A merda do meu cérebro é que eu me esqueço do geral mas lembro-me dos detalhes, e lembro-me do Zuzarte cagar a palavra “Milhões” assim à toa como se fosse broa de milho no bacalhau, o que me deixa, naturalmente, um pouco confusa aqui. Pela frase, dá-me a entender que quem está a duzentos mil são os Altos Elfos e não os Drows, o que contradiz o que nos foi dito até agora, mas confesso que o meu primeiro instinto foi pensar porque caralho é que o Halibut estava todo estremunhado com a possibilidade quando ele tem um milhão. 
A minha conclusão é que não faço a puta do que se passa aqui.
A cidade prepara-se com “balistas” montadas nas muralhas e “Gwhahirins eram equipados nos seus fabulosos ninhos, encontrados bem no cume das montanhas” e se se estão a perguntar o que é que são estes bichos, também não sei porque é a primeira vez que ele refere este nome. E como é que sabemos imediatamente que ele não nos vai dar uma explicação sobre estes seres? Porque não tem nome latino.
O man põe-se ainda aqui num desarrolho de armas e eu tenho de frisar uma coisa que me está a fazer uma confusão do caralho. Admitidamente, não liguei nos Anões, porque me fazia o seu quê de sentido, mas agora aparentemente os elfos também têm mosquetes e 
...porquê usarem uma arma desactualizada, que leva um mínimo de 45 segundos a ser recarregada, quando literalmente já existem armas semi-automáticas? Eu sei que mosquetes caga um cenário do caralho, mas porque é que tu haverias de armar elfos com armas dispendiosas, antigas, cujo risco de rebentar com um braço aquando do recarregamento é altíssimo, e que só pode ser disparada uma vez e imediatamente recaregada quando ao mesmo tempo eles estão armados de semi-automáticas?
enquanto as milícias marchavam rumo aos portões, o povo entrava nos templos de Anfalar dedicados a Freyr onde os sacerdotes e os sacerdotes (sic) abriam portais ligados a Álfheim, o antigo reino dos Altos Elfos e o actual reino dos Elfos da Luz, local de refúgio dos perigos do cerco iminente.
1) os sacerdotes e os sacerdotes. Retirem daí o que quiserem, mas juro-vos que está assim no livro.
2) se existe um mundo paralelo, ou um local à parte ou o caralho, onde os elfos podem viver em paz e estão seguros desta merda toda... porque é que não vivem lá? Tipo, não me foi apresentada qualquer razão para eles estarem aqui sequer AGORA que foi introduzido este Deus Ex?
E se esta é uma possibilidade viável... porque é que não bazam todos? Se não há ninguém para atacar, ninguém morre? Foi literalmente o que os Russos fizeram com o Napoleão e o Hitler, mas com um inverno à mistura. Aliás, desertificar uma cidade/aldeia perante a iminência de ataque devastador é comum. É melhor reedificar uma cidade do que não ter ninguém para viver nela?
Ou será que há bife entre os Elfos da Luz e os Altos Elfos?
Andam cavaleiros de um lado para o outro a carregar mensagens, os Gwhahirins sobrevoam e---opa, mas que merda de bicho é este, deixem-me só
Tumblr media
ah.
Tumblr media
Ok.
Meter um H e um N a mais para disfarçar a coisa não funciona quando é literalmente a mesmíssima merda, foda-se.
Não aprendeste nada com o teu advogado de família que te aconselhou a meter em nota de rodapé que o mithril é uma invenção do Tolkien?
Os Aer’Lechaï Tyr e os Dragoneiros Azuis de Henfalar chegavam do Norte, montados em majestosos dragões azuis.
Querem saber o que é esta merda? Então bora lá
Estes magníficos seres nascem nas remotas cavernas espalhadas por toda a cordilheira montanhosa da Noruega, que se estende de Norte a Sul do país. As suas escamas são azuis, variando a tonalidade da cor conforme a idade do réptil.
Pára de chamar répteis aos dragões man fica tão mal
Quando nascem, os Dragões racham a casca dos seus ovos, cor de azul céu, com o corno,
Tumblr media
tal como acontece com os Unicórnios e, tal como as aves, os primeiros seres vivos que vêem à sua volta são rapidamente reconhecidos como sendo os seus progenitores. No entanto, este comportamento é uma característica exclusiva dos Dragões, 
Tal como as aves, estes seres demonstram um comportamento exactamente igual a elas, isto é, as aves. Mas no entanto, este comportamento---que é exactamente igual aos das aves---é exclusivo aos dragões.
dado que se alguma vez um ovo de Dragão for encontrado por um não-Dragão a cria considerá-lo-ia um aliado e desenvolverá esta atitude de camaradagem para com mais seis outros indivíduos.
Exactamente como as aves, mas totalmente exclusivo aos dragões, só que com um twist em que por alguma razão tens um slot de 6 personagens para inserir à medida que vais fazendo grind.
Por isso, sempre que um não-Dragão encontra um ovo, este deve ser chocado em sua casa, rodeado pelas pessoas mais importantes e por aquele que o encontrou de forma a serem criados laços afectivos.
Estou a começar a ter um pequeníssimo flashback de Eragon com um ligeiro twist.
Halibut vai dar bom uso a estes bicho que ele sabe muito bem que os Drows têm “os Kerath’dal Phor, os mesmos que atacaram James enquanto voava em direcção à Noruega” lembram-se? Eu também não, mas o Zuzarte acha que foi memorável o suficiente para eu querer saber.
A cidade, ao contrário da sua muralha que estava situada entre cordilheiras montanhosas,
portanto, um vale,
localizava-se num vale escondido.

À sua volta a havia plantações e um grande lago redondo situado do lado direito que permitia o acesso à sua entrada.
Uso esta desgraça para vos deixar uma dica. Eu sei que à partida vocês leram esta frase e pensam que não se passa nada de errado com ela, mas o Zuzarte cometeu um erro gravíssimo.
À direita de quê? Porque é que não conseguimos ter uma clara noção de onde exactamente se localiza este acesso? Porque ele está a falar de geografia, e quando é o caso, nunca se diz direita ou esquerda a menos que demos um ponto de referência (a personagem pode estar ao portão e vê à sua direita). Se estamos a dar referência geográficas, usa-se pontos cardeais: a norte, a sul, etc. Eu sei, a minha cabela atrofiada de ADHD e discalculia também se atrofia muito mais assim, a priori, mas uma vez que estabeleço pontos referenciais, torna-se bem mais claro, acreditem. Caso contrário, é perto de impossível perceber que raio se está a passar e onde ficam as coisas.
Anfalar era frágil devido à sua posição.
Tenho uma vaga ideia de me dizeres que esta cidade era perto de impenetrável, mas tá. Suponho que agora que a valente piça do Jonatã 2.0 se pisgou, fragilizou as defesas.
No entanto, a sua principal defesa era a sua majestosa muralha. Os Altos Elfos fortificaram esta barreira 
pá, pára de usar sinónimos a torto e a direito. Barreira não é o mesmo que muralha. diz só fortificaram-na
o melhor que sabiam, utilizando a cidade, sobretudo, como quartel.
Isto faz zero de sentido. Não usas a cidade “como quartel”, uma cidade tem sustento, coisas necessárias à sobrevivência, infraestruturas e inocentes. Os “quartéis”---alcáceres, torres de guarnição, etc---são estrategicamente colocados em pontos de fácil e directo acesso aos soldados, mas distantes o suficiente para não provocarem baixas desnecessárias em inocentes.
E já agora, uma cidade tem sempre mais que uma porta. Não tem sentido nenhum uma cidade ter só um portão. Se é necessária uma evacuação, por onde é que o pessoal foge?
(Se têm interesse em saber mais, dêm uma vista de olhos à planta do castelo de Tomar, que é um excelente exemplo de arquitectura militar medieval extremamente avançada à época.)
Porém, estes dignitários esperavam não ter que se preocupar com a tomada da muralha, pois esta tinha espaço para mais de seis mil homens em combate e mosqueteiros.
Contra um milhão, relembro.
O Rei prostra-se no topo das muralhas e aparece um mensageiro a dizer-lhe que é ali mesmo que a guerra se vai dar, pimbas.
-- Aaye amin Aran (Salve meu Rei).
Tumblr media
Coma linguagem excessivamente florida, este súbdito diz que a malta tá pronta pra grunhir que nem louco e arrebatar nas porcas e
[Halibut] não respondeu, em vez disso continuou a olhar para a cidade como se apreciasse um quadro num museu. O mensageiro continuou.
-- Amin’Man Aran (Meu abençoado Lorde),
Olhando para a frase de cima e a de baixo, repete-se Amin e Aran. Se a primeira quer dizer “Salve meu rei” e a segunda “meu abençoado lorde”, vou subentender que amin é o possessivo, mas isso leva-me a concluir que Aran é rei, ou que a palavra é tão normal que tanto significa rei como lorde, reduzindo-lhe a importância.
É por estas merdas que eu sou esquisita com líguas sacadas do cu.
os vossos guerreiros encontram-se a postos para a batalha, estão...
-- Um Rei... -- interrompeu [Halibut]. -- Serei eu um Rei... ou um tirano?
Tumblr media
esta não é mesmo a altura pra isto, Halibut
Na voz de [Halibut] notava-se uma certa angústia. O mensageiro respondeu:
-- Os vossos guerreiros seguir-vos-ão até aos reinos gelados de Nifelheim se for essa a vossa vontade, Vossa Senhoria. Todas as vossas decisões serão cumpridas para bem do nosso povo, desde a partida de...
-- NÃO DIGAS O NOME DELE! -- rugiu [Halibut] com os olhos trovejantes de autoridade. O mensageiro deu vários passos para trás, encolhendo-se e tropeçando enquanto o seu cavalo fugia.
Tumblr media
O palhaço bazou há 15 minutos e ele já está a reagir como um fim de relação.
Halibut fica ali a reluzir nos trovões toda furiosa, inclusive assusta o cavalo do mensageiro que é o único ser inteligente nesta merda e dá de fuga, e o mensageiro borra a cueca quando o rei diz:
-- Volta para a frente e diz aos meus generais que tomarei o meu lugar na defesa da muralha, e que qualquer desertor será exilado.
-- O... o... m... meu... cavalo... fugiu... senhor... sou bem capaz d... de... demorar um bocado a... -- gaguejou ele.
-- ENTÃO SUGIRO QUE CORRAS!!! -- rugiu [Halibut] mais uma vez com trovões a caírem dos céus em consonância com a fúria da sua voz.
Esta cena até teria tido piada se o Zuzarte não tivesse realçado uma vez mais a fúria absoluta do man, não vou mentir. Teria mesmo tido piada. Se estivesse num bom livro.
Halibut, furibundo, “voltou-se para a muralha [...] e erguendo os seus braços, um raio caiu sobre ele fazendo-o desaparecer”.
Tumblr media
Passam-se horas, o Zuzarte discorre da táctica de guerra empregue que até está certa mas é banal, nada do génio que estava à espera.
Quando já está tudo no lugar, aparece Halibut “montado num dragão com um manto azul e uma armadura de escamas a cobrirem-lhe o corpo” e toda a gente fica com uma pulsante tusa de excitação ao vê-lo, “apesar de saberem que era bem possível que a morte estava iminente”.
Para eles, o Rei era um general respeitado, mas também um Mago com poder suficiente para derrotar uma horda de gigantes em poucos minutos.
E no entanto, foi derrotado pelo poder da galopante puberdade do Jaime.
Era também o melhor espadachim de Anfalar e talvez de todos os reinos dos Elfos do Norte.
Tumblr media
Já repararam que sempre que alguém é espadachim, é o melhor de todo sempre na completa linearidade de tempo, no mundo e universos paralelos? Não é só jeitoso com aquilo? O pessoal é muito gabarolas aqui.
Cai a noite, e ela é “escura como o carvão”, porque na página 168 o Zuzarte ainda não descobriu que mais é escuro.
“As forças negras” (lol) entram pelo estreito adentro e são estes os preparos em que vêm:
soltando os seus graves e roucos gritos e palavras de guerra ao ritmo dos tambores dos Niddhogsons;
que ele não nos diz o que são, mas peço-vos que memorizem aquele detalhe ali que nos dá a entender que, o que quer que sejam, tocam tambores. Certo? Prosseguindo,
a unidade era formada por dragões bípedes sem asas,
...........dragões bípedes sem asas..................................? Mas são bípedes porque assentam em duas patas, ou porque só têm duas patas? É que...................... é sinceramente difícil discernir aqui.................
com quatro cornos, dois para a frente e dois para trás.
Fiz uma rendição artística:
Tumblr media
não lhe dei braços porque ele diz bípede mas não diz se tem braços ou não mas se os tiver, dado o que vem a seguir, é mais ou menos isto ?
Tumblr media
Estes animais são extremamente semelhantes aos Tiranossauros Rex e os Elfos Negros usam-nos para causar terror nas forças inimigas. Tais animais foram também usados contra Uther “Mão Prateada” Strongheart em 1862, na luta contra Drácula.
Tumblr media
Alguém sopra um corno de guerra e um soldado de merda “pressionou o gatilho, devido ao setress em que se encontrava, acertou no olho de um Niddhogsons, levando o animal a entrar num frenesim de loucura”.
Ainda não percebi quem são os Niddhogsons, mas sou levada a crer que são estes bichos? Só que o o Zuzarte diz-nos acima que eles estão a tocar tambores?
Tumblr media
?
Embora os Niddhogsons sejam grandes e assustadores, estes répteis são extremamente limitados e muito difíceis de controlar (importa referenciar que o melhor Niddhogson e o mais inteligente está reservado apenas para o uso pessoal do Rei ou de um general).
Embora eles façam literalmente toda a gente cagar na cueca, importa referir que não se aproximam nem um centímetro do possante pénis do Jaime, tal como, aliás, a ratas tresloucadas com quem andou à escaramuça em Super Saiyan, que eram basicamente isto:
Tumblr media
O resto das tropas são deixadas à mercê de um animal que não consegue distinguir areia e terra.
Então para que caralho os trazem para batalha?
Já agora, como é que eu estou na primeira guerra mundial e ainda não vi UM lança-chamas, a grande arma inovadora desta guerra? Eu montada naquelas águias filhas da puta com um lança chamas dava conta desta merda sozinha.
O condutor da besta gritava em vão e em pânico para a controlar, mas em vez disso, apenas o levou a chocar contra outro Niddhogson espetando, por acidente, os seus cornos nas pernas da outra besta.
O que acham que aconteceu?
O resultado foi a morte de ambos os animais e dos soldados que se encontravam nas imediações, sendo estes esmagados após a queda e espezinhados pelas fortes patas.
> espetou os cornos nas patas > de alguma forma isso mata-o instantamente
Halibut, que até nem é assim tão estúpido, percebe que os animais são mesmo uns grunhos do caralho, e ordena que disparem sobre eles mesmo só para os desorientar, porque ele já percebeu que o plot device que está aqui a acontecer é que ele está protegido pelo poder da narrativa e nada lhe vai acontecer.
Com efeito,
Tumblr media
grande parte dos répteis gigantes ficou de tal maneira agitada que muitos Elfos Negros que os montavam caíram em consequência dos fortes abanões.
Pronto, está resolvido.
Apesar disto, eles não acertam em todos e alguns dão de fuga.
Só com muita perícia e ao fim de algum tempo perdido é que os condutores conseguiram retomar o controlo das montadas. Nessa fracção de tempo perdido, os Altos Elfos aproveitaram para se concentrar e atacar os adversários, inflingindo o máximo de dano que conseguiram.
Adoro esta última frase porque ela nos diz absolutamente nada e é sintomático da falta de conhecimento de táctica militar do Zuzarte. Ele primeiro diz-nos que o rei, percebendo que estas bestas são estúpidas, aproveita-se disso e usa isso em benefício para causar dano grave neste possível ataque aéreo e atacar o inimigo. E depois, diz-nos que a malta se concentra para atacar o inimigo e fazer MUITO dano. Por outras palavras: a primeira vaga foi para eliminar a ameaça aérea, a segunda vaga é para fazer DPS à bruta, já que saímos da literatura e estamos agora num MMORPG.
Entretanto, nenhum dos Elfos Negros aparentemente dispara UMA flecha para estes gajos que estão enfileirados tipo Miss Universo no topo da muralha, à vista de todos.
[Halibut], já desmontado do seu dragão, ergueu os braços, fazendo cair trovões dos céus que atingiram os soldados invasores. Vários foram os danos causados nas linhas inimigas, mas, curiosamente, os Elfos Negros não recuavam e mantinham-se firmes, como se esperassem mais.
Vários, tipo bués, e curiosamente, um exército de um milhão dá ares que tipo, um ataque é mais uma assadura do que um embate a sério.
O rei, que a percebe toda, pressente “uma aura negra mais próxima”, que é o próximo plot device do Zuzarte, já que ele e eu já percebemos que o que vai acontecer é um deus ex seguido de outro deus ex com o único propósito de dar nos cornos a este rei só para aparecer o Jaime e o salvar com os seus Colhões Pulsantes de Aço e provar que é muita bom.
o Rei olhou para cima e, de repente, viu silhuetas de seres com asas. Chegava a única unidade capaz de conquistar a muralha sem sofrer muitas baixas: os Kerath’dal Phor.
Ele devia era chamar os produtores de Game of Thrones, que para eles bastou três tiros de balista vinda de uma frota indetectável para dar conta de um dragão---
eSPERA LÁ, TU TINHAS BALISTAS NA MURALHA, MEU CABRÃO. QUE TAL USÁ-LAS, FDP
Estes dragões, sem qualquer explicação, soltam “uma chuva de ácido”, e uma vez que o Zuzarte não especifica como é que isto acontece, apenas nos diz que acontece, eu vou acreditar que eles não estão a cuspir ácido, mas a mijar, já que nada na narrativa contradiz o meu headcanon.
Do cume das montanhas que rodeiam Anafalar,
Sim, ele enganou-se a escrever o nome da própria cidade que inventou,
voaram os Ërlans e os Aer’Lechaï Tyr ao encontro dos Kerath’dal Phor, entrando numa frenética batalha aérea.
esta frase é impossível de ler
Já percebi que o Zuzarte não conhece nenhuma outra palavra para descrever uma batalha que não “frenético”.
Tenho uma vaga ideia de que estes erlans já foram introduzidos no livro passado, mas sinceramente já não sei.
Halibut percebe que as bichas voadoras estão agora distraídas e tem de focar as suas atenções na muralha, e acontece qualquer coisa que eu sinceramente não percebi o quê:
viu um único soldado negro de pé com a espada e o escudo em riste. Atrás dele, vários outros invasores penduravam-se e subiam o parapeito da muralha,
Penduravam-se?? Como??? Estão a fazer pé-de-ladrão??
O Rei, rapidamente, colocou as mãos numa posição paralela e criou uma bola de fogo no espaço entre elas, lançando-a contra os soldados negros que se encontravam no parapeito. Mal a bola de chamas atingiu os invasores, [Halibut] atravessou a densa cortina de fumo causado pelo seu projéctil e, desembainhando a sua espada no meio do salto,
Tumblr media
correu muralha abaixo logo de seguida, reparando, para seu grande horror, que os soldados corriam a muralha acima como se caminhassem sobre terra plana.
Tumblr media
Ele corre muralha abaixo e fica horrorizado que o inimigo consegue fazer exactamente o mesmo, mas para cima, tá.
O monarca pouco podia fazer para os travar, mas mesmo assim tentou, servindo-se da sua mestria na espada e do uso da magia de forma a liquidar o maior número possível.
Tumblr media
A defesa de Anfalar tinha começado e não era promissora em relação à história final...
COMO SE TODOS NÃO ADIVINHÁSSEMOS QUE CARALHO SE SEGUE.
Isto foi uma perda de tempo.

author interview (2.0)
tagged by @thisonesatellite and @profdanglaisstuff
name:  devra (devviepuu on AO3)  
fandoms:  OUAT, arrow (olicity), pretty soldier sailor moon (manga/anime/crystal)
where i post:  AO3, by preference; tumblr by sheer force of nature
most popular one shot:  voices from the yellow road (epistolary/modern AU/captain swan)  originally inspired by a Tumblr prompt: "i got up at 2 am to get some snacks at the convenience store down the street and opened my door to find you trying to sleep on the floor of the hallway because your roommate has his fiancée over so i guess i’ll lend you my couch for the night AU"
most popular multichapter:  for OUAT, i know your devils and your deeds (be prepared to bleed) which is my season 4 headcanon.  for arrow, it’s multiplicity, my season 5/6 headcanon.
favorite story i wrote:  all of them were my favorites while i was writing them, umm...i am really happy with what i did on “devils”.  i could not stop myself writing “hello love (a silent kiss from a wish)” because the words just poured out of me, all word-y and full of Feelings.  but i think the one i most excited about/proud of is my rewrite for the captain swan rewrite-a-thon (which will begin posting 1 april)--it is a retelling of seasons 1/2 with detective noir elements (originally inspired by the maltese falcon).  emma is a PI, killian is a femme fetale-type character with a strange, cursed past, graham gets murdered, lots of shenanigans ensue.  and lots of angsty late-night emotional drinking scenes.
story you were nervous to post:  the brilliant dance.  i do NOT write autobiographical stories--though, like most writers, my psychoses bleed through all over the place, scattered amongst the detritus of bits of conversations i’ve heard or scraps of people i used to know.  but there is a moment in TBD that absolutely, 100% is a thing that happened to me, and it was the first time i’d ever written it out.  i was going through some family shit while i was writing it and it just spilled out into that moment.  the story probably would not have gone public without support from @profdanglaisstuff, who graciously agreed to beta for me when i asked her out of nowhere even though it was a lot of tropes that are Not Her Thing.  the bits of it she liked gave me confidence to keep going, and the bits she didn’t like, i rewrote until i was happy.  it was a great feeling, my first collaboration, and even if there are pieces of the story i would go back and clean up or expand, i’m still pretty happy with the things i tried to express in that story and the writing style i got to play with.
how i choose my titles:  mostly song lyrics.  usually a song gets into my head while i am writing or adjacent to the writing process.  sometimes it’s a quote--my rewrite is based around a series of shakespeare quotes, because i am a nerd.  (the title of the rewrite is “our little life (rounded with a sleep)” which is a riff on “the stuff that dreams are made of” which was itself a misquote of the tempest in the film version of the maltese falcon that i may or may not have written a college paper about 20 years ago)
complete:  all of my fics except for the rewrite are complete.
incomplete:  rewrite, which, i swear, will be finished in a week or two, and will begin posting 1 april 2020.
do you outline:  sort of.  i usually know where stuff is going.  sometimes, when i can’t find the words, i start typing out a running outline of the scene or the story until it begins to reveal itself.   then, alas, i must turn that into actual words--where is a magic wand when you need one??
coming soon/not yet started:
CSRR - i am paired with the delightfully talented @carpedzem who sent me a stunning, gorgeous, colorful comic that basically wrote itself--once i got out of its way--and it posts this sunday (9 feb)
CSSNS - i am working with @thisonesatellite on a long-awaited (for us, at least) rewrite of season 5.  i think we already knew we were going to be lovely friends before the idea came to the surface, but when both of us at the same time--about six months ago, TBH--made a buffy reference and then said, man, someone should do a season 5 rewrite--i think it was a good sign!  YES.  THOSE TWO THINGS ARE RELATED.  AND YES, WE ARE GOING TO OUTLINE IT.
a detective fic--these seem to be going around??  but i’m background plotting a kind of romantic suspense bodyguard/PI fic.  i think it is going to have magic in it.  not sure.
CSRT - please, please consider reading my rewrite “our little life (rounded with a sleep)” when it comes out, because i am really pleased with how it is turning out
a 3A divergence - that is barely at the back of my head but i had a crazy, shape-shifting idea for 3A divergence that involves emma as a mermaid, HookFire as reluctant allies (with the charming crew) trying to raise henry AND get her back, and pan’s curse.
do you accept prompts:  i don’t know--no one has ever asked?  i guess it would depend on if i thought i had something to say!
