I've started v7 of Heaven Official's Blessing and let me tell you I was NOT expecting some voltron-style gundam battle but I'm deeply into it

The Series 07 toy sets include Divine Statue Gundam, with Ghost King and Flower Crowned Martial God figures, as well as the God Sword set with 4 additional Heavenly Officials (though the owner of Ghost City Emporium doesn't know why you'd waste your money on that trash)

#i like to think the feng xin and mu qing figures have little magnets #they either immediately repel each other or slam into mortal combat #tgcf #heaven official's blessing #hualian #hua cheng #xie lian #pei ming #quan yizhen #feng xin #mu qing #fengqing #my art #this is so silly but i couldn't get four gods combining into one sword out of my head #tgcf spoilers #book 7 spoilers

skyward sword was such a crazy insane game to make like ok what if there was a story about a great evil and a goddess. and that goddess locked away that great evil, but she knew it would come back, and it would need to be defeated again. and what if that goddess knew that for this impossible task, she would need a loyal soldier. so she reincarnates. she reincarnates into a human girl, because the best way, the most reliable way, to get a loyal soldier, is love. and a goddess is respected, and idolized, and revered, but a goddess isn't loved. not like a human girl is. so she reincarnates. and she is loved genuinely and wholeheartedly, by her family, by her peers, and most importantly, by her best friend.

and what if there was a story about a boy and a girl. this one boy loves her so much, that when she falls from the sky, crashing to the earth, and into her immortal destiny, he follows her. and she runs, because she has a destiny, because she's finding out she is part of a divine plot, she and the boy are pawns in a goddess' war plans. did she ever love him did he ever love her or were they just being manipulated by the goddess. SHE'S the goddess. was SHE just manipulating him this whole time? "I'm still your zelda" but is she really? does she know it for sure? she doubts it and doubts it and runs and runs and he keeps chasing her. and she locks herself in time to defeat this great evil and he watches her do it. and he fights because he loves her and he defeats the evil and he gets her back and they're happy.

but what if there was a story about a goddess and a great evil. the evil cursed them for the rest of time. their descendants will never be safe there will always be evil to fight and she'll always be running and sacrificing and he'll always be chasing and fighting.

what if there was a story about a goddess and a great evil. what if there was a story about a girl and a boy. what if it was about the innate mortality and humanity of love and the act of loving. ok. at the walls of nintendo hq

#GIRLS WHEN SKYWARD SWORD #the way nintendo released sksw and then botw AND THEN TOTK. BANGER AFTER BANGER AFTER HEARTBREAKING BANGERRR #WHAT THE HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL #girls when “I'm still your zelda” #guys I'm thinking about sksw idk if you can tell #the control scheme is literally hellish but sksw is such a game and I'd replay it right now if the control scheme wasn't literally hellish #loz #sksw #loz sksw #loz ss #skyward sword #zelink #no but it's crazy like love isn't divine in skyward sword it's the opposite it's an innately mortal thing #it's not holy but it's better than that it's something the goddess needs more than all her divine power

flipping this wide cinderblock in my fingers over and over in a one handed juggle and eventually dropping it from the 60th floor of my apartment onto the unsuspecting passerby then nonchalantly and unapologetically faking a minor sound of distress when it smashes on a young mans head either killing him or maiming him for life

my shitty redraw doesnt have the same blessed energy as the og but i dont care got 2 draw his tits a bit so its alr

Johnny's ass keeps pushing Sento away from the support on his back because it's too big btw, do you think Sento knows. Is Sento aware that johnny's cheeks are constantly pushing it. And if so, do you think Sento cares at all, being a sword and all. Is that mundane for a sword. Does Sento compare whose backs or waists or butts or hands felt nicer. Does Kenshi know. Would it tell Kenshi that his hands are the most caring but Johnny's ass is the biggest.

#maybe that's just how it works. being a sword. even if you're sentient. #johnshi #<- target audience #I'm assuming that all the souls in that sword (or most of them) held it before and some kept it on their backs #so now i'm wondering if they get there agter they die and start thinking they should have kept sento in a different position #or if they mind the climate or where the sword is kept #like do they feel it? they are in it but do they feel it #do they ever think 'if I knew it felt this way i would have cared for Sento in a different manner' #i know im anthropomorphizing the sword but the sword has people in it #sento: hey descendent can you light a fire we're cold #kenshi: Oh of course! #sento: thank you. do you want us to give you the grace of vision so you can see the white boy's ass btw #kenshi: what #sento: its a really nice ass. who said that. #kenshi: #mortal kombat #im sorry i juat wanted to talk about the souls in there feeling thinfs through the sword but that implies they felt johnnys ass #and i wanted to make a joke about it #inside sento: #- Akira Taiga-sama had the nicest hands but Hayao-sama had the greatest butt. #both of them also inside the sword hearing this: thank you ascendent you honor us #no but really i kike the idea the sento feels that kenshi is caring for it 🥲

Johnshi pirate au(result of me watching all the potc movies again)

Johnny stole Sento from the Bokuto clan and now has Kenshi from the Taira clan on his ass

#Johnny enjoys this attention #he's keeps running off with the sword only to hv kenshi jump at him elsewhere #he found it the only way to have the man take any interest in him #johnshi #johnny cage mk1 #kenshi mk1 #mk johnshi #mk1 johnshi #mk1 #mortal kombat #johnny cage #kenshi takahashi

Summary: Virtual Author Talk with Cassandra Clare at San Anselmo Public Library (23/08/23)

Cassie wrote her first “novel” when she was 12 on a Mac computer, the infamous The Beautiful Cassandra that she regularly teases to us. She got into writing fiction professionally full-time after leaving her journalism job in 2006.

Finishing City of Bones took about 3-4 years because it was her first novel. Holly Black was the one who hooked her up with her first agent who then got the book published, which was a really new experience. She said that the publishing process was initially surprising to her because of how crazily long it takes to get a single book published.

Cassie acknowledges that City of Bones is starkly “different” from the rest of all her books in colour and voice, because of how experimental the novel writing process was for her. She said she thinks she’s evolved a lot as a writer since then.

She aims for psychological realism in her books even though it’s fantasy. She tries to see each character as a fully-formed person who can exist outside of the immediate plot. She creates worksheets to write her characters.

She also believes it’s necessary to let your main characters make bad mistakes – she cites Matthew as a prominent example i.e. someone highly reactive to their own mistakes. Matthew is defined by his regret and his need to fix his mistakes. She thinks Matthew is one of the most relatable characters because of this.

She’s very drawn to the found family trope because of how much she moved around as a kid – the stability and love of a found family is something she’s worked to build her whole life. She emphasizes the importance of friendship and its different forms in life.

Cassie cites Magnus as the character who turned out most differently than she had initially planned – she hadn’t originally anticipated how significant Magnus would be in the wider scheme of the series.

Doing The Last Hours was, at least a little, in response to people’s excitement about The Family Tree back in 2013.

Her advice for writing fantasy worlds is to create a flexible and expansive magic system so it can grow with you as a writer. She also emphasizes letting your favorite characters make poor decisions – your characters determine the plot and not the other way around.

Cassie strikes a balance between planning worldbuilding details beforehand and then spontaneously adding in new things in the writing process. The Scholomance is an example of something new that was added later in the TSC writing chronology.

She decided that Sword Catcher had to be in the adult publishing category because when she initially developed the characters, they just appeared as people in their twenties. With TSC, the characters had just appeared to her as teenagers then. Writing characters in these different life stages was interesting and challenging.

Sword Catcher is the first in a duology, but she’d like it to be four books if it’s successful.

Cassie has always wanted to write Shadowhunters in the Roaring ‘20s but she has no idea what the plot would possibly be.

She doesn’t read TSC fanfiction, but her husband has informed her of a popular Magnus X BTS fanfiction on AO3. She stays away from fanfiction, but she is very invested in the fanart of her works. Her favorite artist is, of course, Cassandra Jean, and she also loves Charlie Bowater.

She loves writing with Holly Black and probably would only do more Middle Grade writing with her.

She is very much anti-censorship and anti-banning books, especially because of the form it takes in the US (aka, censorsing books dealing with issues affecting the BIPOC and queer communities).

She doesn’t believe they’ll do another TMI adaptation in any form, even though she doesn’t believe the TMI books’ story was ever truly told. She hopes, one day, that TID can get made as it’s the most adaptable series in her catalogue for logistical reasons.

If she couldn’t be a fiction writer, her dream job would be a travel writer. She intensely loves traveling and making her characters travel as well.

Her favorite author of all time is Dorothy Dunnett. She thinks you should check out The Queen’s Thief by Megan Whaler Turner (I agree). And she’s currently reading Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak (I really enjoyed this one).

i know cris is a one-off function character for johnny's development and i don't mind that, but some of you are getting reaaally comfortable writing her as a gold digger or trying to break johnny/kenshi relationship

#the woman had a RIGHT to be upset lol #“she'll be crawling back when she learns johnny is rich again” NO? #yes johnny said “divorces are expensive” but if they were sharing finances it makes sense she would take at least half of them #they were broke #and johnny spent 3 mil on a fuckass sword like be serious please 😭 u all are acting like shes crazy #ur misogyny is showing #mortal kombat #mk1 #mortal kombat 1 #johnshi #johnny cage

new TSATS prediction based entirely off the interview from the UK Rick Riordan newsletter

#pjo #nico di angelo #riordanverse #tsats #the sun and the star #this isnt spoilers this is just a silly #i do find it funny whenever people say Nico is Catholic though cause we dont have any actual indication of that other than he's From Italy #he doesnt have catholic guilt he has internalized homophobia. those are different things #listen his mom was a clear-sighted mortal who had TWO children with the god of the underworld who also was implied to help raise said kids #nico ain't catholic. this boy has never been to CCD. < source: i went to CCD /neg #however im already taking TSATS as fanon so i will laugh if Nico is randomly confirmed catholic #now Will? Will i could see. Will raised catholic? yes. Nico raised catholic? no. #in my brain Nico was raised with like. his parents having mixers in their parlor room with Maria's socialite friends and misc chthonic gods #like. Nico's babysitter growing up was Menoites (herdsman of the cattle of the underworld) type situation #seriously though i can only think of 3 details that would vaguely imply Nico is raised catholic and that are: #one instance of him helping Percy pick out a christmas gift for Annabeth (though everything in that short story was ooc tbh) #(and also Nico didnt actually ever imply he specifically was celebrating christmas) #two: Percy describing the situation in Sword of Hades as ''spending christmas in the underworld'' (nico is just kind of there) #and thirdly again: Nico's just from Venice #like. did he go to a religious school growing up? possibly! doesnt mean he was that religion though just means his school was #and even then we actually dont know if he wasn't homeschooled before moving to america #in which case yeah figures the like 3 months he spent in Westover would teach him random outdated stuff #they needed to send him to a sketchy school cause the di angelos dont have any records and if their material is outdated #then that's less likely to mess with Bianca and Nico's wiped memories #but demographically speaking its entirely likely that the entire larger di Angelo family arent christian anyways #everybody with misc varied headcanons about the demographics of the di angelo family i give u a little kiss on the forehead #''but what about Nico learning the wrong version of that one myth'' see again: could have learned it at Westover #and also. tbh far more likely that it was a 1930s thing than a religious thing #cause if we're talking staunch catholocism i dont think they'd be teaching him much greek mythology at all #anyways this has been: im far too amused by the phrases 'that boy has never been to CCD' and ''Nico has Become Catholic'

here is a small excerpt/some crumbs from my new fic johnshi nation we are so back 🙏🏽 (rated T so far for language)

This time, Johnny's pause is from complete shock. His eyes widen, and they flick across Kenshi's face. They land right on a pair of eyes, deep brown and narrow. They're fierce, tense and angry, but Johnny doesn't really give a shit about that because Kenshi has eyes. He's looking at him.

Kenshi presses his blade closer, by just a hair, but it's enough to make Johnny lift his chin to avoid risking a permanent choker necklace.

"How do you know my name?" He hisses. Johnny lets the hurt briefly flash across his face before he schools it into something a bit more cocky.

"Is this your idea of foreplay? Gotta hand it to you Ken, you really know how to show a gal a good time." Kenshi growls at that, and Johnny would be lying if he said it wasn't the tiniest bit sexy. He would enjoy it a lot more if there was less of the whole life threatening thing happening. You win some, you lose some, I guess.

Kenshi's voice is low when he speaks again, words hardened with a steely determination. "I'm here for Sento."

Elsa: You look happy. And a good thing for you she does.

Kristoff: Is this the part where you say if I hurt her, you'll kill me?

Elsa: No. If you hurt Anna she's quite capable of killing you herself. Possibly with a variety of weapons.

currently thinking about just how much su minshan was willing to sacrifice--of himself, and of other people who relied on and trusted in him--to protect jin guangyao

goes 2 my knees, clutches my hair

#suyao #it's The Devotion™️ ok??? #he abandons his whole sect at the second siege of the burial mounds for jin guangyao #he will pull a sword on both hanguang-jun and zewu-jun over the HINT of a slight against jin guangyao #he puts himself in mortal peril and ultimately dies brutally to protect jin guangyao #uggggGGGGHHHH #i'm fine!! i'm fine #(i'm not i'm really not) #edited to add: like!!! regardless of how you choose to interpret the nature of the relationship between them #i don't think it is a stretch to look at sms's devotion to jgy and interpret it as something beyond friendship #or beyond the loyalty of a vassal to his liege lord #and i think what most fucks me up about their dynamic (in a good way) #is that sms never expects the same depth of devotion from jgy #given how deeply seated minshan's resentment towards the gusu lan is and how easy it is to trigger #a truly nuclear grudge response in him (looking @ u jin zixun) #i remain endlessly fascinated by the years he must spend knowing that jgy would always choose lxc over him if he had to #and yet he does NOT become bitter or resentful of jgy over this #he does not make his devotion to jgy a problem for jgy to manage #like if you lean into the one-sided shipping angle he's like a guy who has fully embraced his place in the friend zone #is he fine with it?? who knows! but he isn't going to make his feelings on the matter jgy's problem #anyway i love him send post #emotional support henchman
