Wake the Snake smut, get yer Wake the Snake smut here *bangs on a frying pan*
No angst or season two plot just good old fashioned shameless post-lockdown sexual tension that gets resolved, plus a first-class tasting menu.
...honestly the whole time @mostlyjustgoose and I were writing this I kept thinking of Neil's "You are invited to a seduction. Please come to dinner on Friday Night. Wear the kind of clothes you would like to be seduced in.” Heh.

Fastest Growing Fandoms on AO3 This Week (01/01/2024)
Every week I pull data on how many fics are in each fandom and compare to the previous week, then calculate the percentage increase to determine fastest growing fandoms. Since this naturally skews towards smaller fandoms, I have included the same data filtered to Over 1k, 5k, & 10k fics.
Overall:
Over 1,000 Fics:
Over 5,000 Fics:
Over 10,000 Fics:

WHO was going to tell me that the Ballad of Lucy Gray Baird is set to the tune of Streets of Laredo/The Unfortunate Rake??!?!!? And it’s WRITTEN LIKE THAT IN THE BOOK?!?!???!
Like the fact that it’s supposed to be her lamenting her own impending death?? And she chose the most famous folk song about someone lamenting their impending death??? Hello?!??

"I hope she ends up with someone better and lives happier out there "
HA No! I am too far gone with this ship to imagine them with someone else even in the saddest scenarios. I yearn too obsessively for them to be together, even in just their thoughts, in whatever universe they end up in. I want them miserable for each other. Happier for each other. Suffering because of each other. Free with each other. Trap with each other. I want their best and worst fate to be each other. Two souls too intertwined, mangled and ruined for anything else.

'Keep on the sunny side' is a song by the Carter family originally released in 1964, and is sung by Maude Ivory and the Covey band in the ballad of songbirds and snakes. This means that at least some existing songs survived the war and continued to be sung in the districts, so therefore it is perfectly reasonable to assume that finnick odair has heard call me maybe. In this essay I will

I need to take a moment and talk about Last Twilight. The sheer realism in this show is really what I wanted to talk about. My uncle recently lost his eyesight after a medical episode, so I understand the people around Day quite well. The way this show is handling it is so spot on, and I just needed to express how close to home it hits.
Things like Day hitting his toe on the counter and having to find things in the cupboard by feel and muscle memory are small things that they didn’t leave out of his “healing process.” The way Mhok guides him but never coddles him is another thing I love. He gives Day space to do things on his own which Day needs as he’s accepting the fact he’ll never see again. When someone lives such an active and social life like him and has all their freedom basically taken away like that, it’s hard on them. Getting Day out of the house was one of the best things Mhok could do for him in the closed-off state Day was in when he was hired. Letting Day wait alone at the restaurant for August was not only such a great way to have Day trust and appreciate him, but also just good for Day in general to be out and regain confidence.
Mhok telling Day where his food was located like a clock is a very real thing. I know my uncle prefers finger foods and salads now because it’s easier to eat if he can feel what it is or just know that everything is in one bowl, which I feel is like the vibe Day is going with saying he only likes his mother’s cooking (since it’s familiar and he knows what she makes he doesn’t have to think much about what’s on his plate.)
Anywho, I just wanted to say I really enjoy the authenticity of this show and am so happy Jimmy and Sea have been able to portray their characters so realistically. I am so in love with the care that went into this show🥰

Totally in love with slenderverse characters recording and being like “woke up with this piercing and this haircut. Totally new, was not me. I don’t remember doing this.”
Then I wonder if like slenderman himself took them/made them go to a tattoo parlor or whatever while they were in a trance or something and was like “you’re gonna get a septum piercing/snake bites, I think it’d look nice on you.”
omg what if he did it himself???
Wyd if slenderman knocks on your door with a piercing gun in his…tentacle??? Hand??? Idrk tbh.
