Okay but this. This is the research we put ourselves through that makes only receiving likes and not reblogs hurt so damn much. It takes a month to write something because we want it to be so accurate and good; blood, sweat, and tears, babe!

I’m proud of you for doing that math and research, there’s not such thing as taking too long to write a story. ♥️

Haha when your trying to work out age differences on different planets for a story! Literally the shit we writers do to try and be accurate!

(This in more to show some of the behinde the scenes work writers do for your fics, please dont correct me or piss on my parade please, this took ages to figure out as it is!)

So in my fic 7 earth days is 3 krypton days. So through some shitty maths of 6,205 earthdays (seventeen years) divided by 0.3 (thats what im useing leave me alone!) is 2,068 so thats a 2,068 difference that needs to be added onto her number?

6,205+2,068=8,273 ÷ 365 =22.6

y/n is 17 on krytpton which it the evuivilante of 22 and a half on earth? I mean whether its right or wrong this is now what I'm useing. Its probably wrong... but its fanfiction! Who cares... she says whilst trying to work out fictional ages of characters that dont exsist 😅😅

This is why I take so long to fucking write!!

[wendimydarling]

Oh thank you dear! I must admit I felt like I was back in school when I answered this one, quite a lot of research went into it. ☺️

Henry's characters as Greek/Roman Gods 😆

OKAY girl. I’m finally getting around to this. I did a lot of research as I’m not superly familiar with all of the greek gods and their stories, but I did a pretty good job I think, and I ran the list by @littlefreya and @agniavateira; they stan (for the most part)!

All of my info (including the quotes I will use) I pulled from this website, so if anything isn’t accurate, I’m sorry! Here we goooooooo!

Stephen Colley

Stephen Colley is Aristaeus, minor patron god of useful arts, such as gardening and hunting. I’m basing this off of who he was and his role to the family, NOT on the sudden acting career that was thrust upon him.

“In Greek mythology, Aristaeus was the god useful arts, such as bee-keeping and cheese-making, olive-growing, herding, and hunting. He was a rustic god, a god of the countryside and pastoral places.”

Aristaeus also would visit cities, see the problems, and find a solution, which is basically what Stephen did for the bitch he was in love with, to the detriment of his own heart.

Mikey

Mikey is Momus. the god of Mockery and Satire.

“Momus is typically depicted as a man lifting a mask from his face. In more modern art, he is depicted as a fool or king’s jester.

Greek tragedian Sophocles wrote a satyr play called Momus. Satyr plays were tragicomedies with choruses of satyrs. The plays were often full of drunkenness, sexuality, sight gags, and other forms of merriment.”

Mikey loves a good joke and to fool around. He didn’t take life seriously, he wanted to have fun. 

Melot

Melot is Dinlas, god of chaos and hatred. Dinlas was abandoned by his mother and banished to the underworld where Hades discovered him and turned him into an agent of darkness, similarly to how Melot wasn’t as well received by his uncle as Tristan was, and so was taken in by Wictred and used for evil.

Hades gave Dinlas a job that seemed right and good, much how Melot thought that he was doing what was best for the kingdom. Both of them sought acceptance and love wherever they could find it, and for both of them it was ultimately their downfall. 

Evan Marshall

Evan is the god Paean, physician to the Olympic gods. Paean treated everyone from Ares to Hades, he didn’t differentiate. This may seem like an obvious choice, but it goes a step further.

“The name “Paean” was also commonly used in a general sense to refer to anyone who could save people from evil or calamity.”

This is Evan. He was brought in by his brother to save their home from the evil that resided in that bunker, and he did what he had to, wishing to save not just his family but the family that lived there, regardless of what his brother thought. He didn’t differentiate, same as Paean.

Charles Brandon

Charles is Kratos, god of strength and power. I’m basing this off of the myths that include his lineage as the son of the Titans Pallas and Styx, which makes him a relative of the Olympian gods but not one of them directly.

“In this form, Kratos is seen as a companion of Zeus and the guardian of his throne. He is usually one of Zeus’ primary enforcers and is an extension of his will.”

This is Charles. Friend of the King and Enforcer of His Will, even when it means carrying out unnecessary vengeance, similarly to how Kratos was required to chain Prometheus to a rock to be tortured for all eternity after Prometheus stole fire for humans.

Clark Kent/Kal-El

Clark is Atlas, who was a Titan instead of a god. This might seem like an unusual choice, but hear me out. Atlas chose a side and lost, and because of it was forced to carry the weight of the heavens on his shoulders for the rest of his life. Clark too was forced to choose a side, and though he didn’t necessarily “lose”, he still had to carry the weight of that burden on his shoulders for the rest of his life.

“Atlas was known as being ‘stout-hearted,’ strong, resilient and only a little gullible”

Clark is all of those things. And when I say gullible, I more just mean that he’s so good, so innocent, people have been able to take advantage of him before. 

Napoleon Solo

Napoleon is Hermes, god of trade, thieves, travelers, and border crossings, guide to the Underworld. 

“Hermes was known to be quick and cunning and had the ability to freely move between the mortal and divine worlds. 

In some myths Hermes is also depicted as a trickster where he would outwit the gods either for the good of humankind or for his own personal amusement and satisfaction.

Both Homer and Hesiod portrayed Hermes as the author of skilled or deceptive acts, and also as a benefactor of mortals.”

This depicts Napoleon to a T. He played both sides to his benefit, and often “went against the man” if it benefited the greater good or if it amused him.

Captain Syverson

Captain Syverson is Zeus, god of law, order, and justice.

“Hesiod described Zeus as a god who “brought peace in place of violence” and referred to him as the “lord of justice”.”

There are many different character traits of Zeus that Syverson embodies: hospitality, willingness to avenge wrong, keeper of oaths, and he struck terror in his enemies. 

“According to “Work and Days” by Hesiod (line 59), Zeus was a carefree god who loved to laugh out loud. He was regarded as wise, fair, just, merciful, and prudent. He was also unpredictable – nobody was able to guess the decisions he would make.”

This also seems to me like Syverson. Although we don’t see him laugh much in the film, we do get a snippet of that smile when he greets Mahmoud.

“He is often described as a strong, imposing man with a regal body and long, often curly, hair. He usually had a short beard or scruff and carried his trusty thunderbolt at all times.”

Syverson is all of this except the long curly hair. His thunderbolt is the Beretta 92FS he’s always got tucked into his belt.

August Walker

August is Hades, god of the underworld. 

“Hades was depicted as stern and unyielding, unmoved by prayer and sacrifice.

[He] had a cap or helmet that made its wearer invisible.

His wife was Persephone, Demeter’s only daughter, whom he kidnapped and made his queen.”

August’s mission is his manifesto. He is unyielding in that sense; he will do whatever it takes to accomplish that goal, unmoved by the opinions and pleading of others. He worked for the CIA and they had no idea of his true intent, which makes him pretty invisible, and he would absolutely kidnap a woman to make her his bride (Trapped, anyone????). Although I think he would make her fall in love with him first.

Walter Marshall

Walter is the Hypnos, the god of sleep. Again, seems like an unusual choice, but hear me out. 

“Hypnos is said to be a calm and gentle god who helps mortal humans in their time of need.”

This is Walter. He is a gentle giant, who aids people when they need help the most. This is his job, this is his life. Hypnos lived in the underworld, in a cave that received no sunlight or moonlight. Walter lives his life in a similar darkness, his mind engulfed in the horrors of his job. Hypnos’s cave was surrounded by poppies and other plants that produce sleep, which explains why Walter always looks so tired. *cue laughing emoji*

Geralt of Rivia

I see Geralt as Heracles (Hercules). He did not choose the life he was given, but he used it for the good of people. 

“Heracles was known for his extraordinary strength, courage and cleverness. When his brawn would not suffice, he would call upon his wits...”

Hercules also had his Twelve Labors, which I equate to Geralt running around slaying monsters. Hercules often acted impulsively, and though done out of love, it would get him into trouble. Geralt does this too, though he would never admit it. His love for Jaskier, Yen, and Ciri gets him into heaps of scraps and trouble, which he is then often forced to serve his way out of. 

Thanks for this ask, @wondersofdreaming! Sorry it took me so long; it was a bit of a research project and I felt like I was in school again!

This. Just this. I can’t even begin to explain just how perfectly you described it.

I was here, just last weekend. In bed, feeling guilty for not spending time with my family. But having the comfort of someone who lets you be you during these times without guilt is one of the most beautiful acts of service one could ever receive.

I thank you from the depths of my heart for writing this. You are amazingly talented, and your words, even though they depict the hardship, still hold a subtle hope in them, the hope that all of us who suffer with this disease cling to so dearly:

And now that I was accepting help, it seemed like there was hope it would stay in the corner. It might only be for a few moments, but any light under the dark, heavy clouds was worth it.

C’est magnifique, my dear. ♥️

I genuinely think he was either sick and so he was freezing but I’d he announced he was sick everyone would worry he had Covid, OR he was just being a little shit and drawing people’s attention to it to get them talking.

But again, we all love this man:

so I’m totally okay with a buzz. 😍

WHAT’S UNDER MR.CAVILL’S HAT: A MURDER MYSTERY

It would appear there has been a murder.

A murder *gasp* of the curls. 

*dun dun duuuuuuun*

Ok, so, hear me out. Remember this post?

So, maybe wig removal got a little rambunctious one day and ripped off a patch of his hair. If they are using glue and medical tape, that stuff could get tacky and create a firm hold; therefore, maybe he accidentally got a small Brazilian treatment on his head.

And maybe, just maybe, Henry looked at the bald patch and thought it made him look like a wanker (@hlkwrites​ did I use the word right here? Did I do it? LOL) and decided to buzz off the rest of his hair to make it look less noticeable? A buzzcut will also ensure all locks will grow back somewhat evenly if there was indeed a bald patch. 

He still has his sideburns peaking through his beanie. But notice how shorter and thinner they are when compared to a picture he posted weeks before the recent ones?

Now you might think maybe it’s just the hat that’s making it look flat here. But look at how plush his sideburns were here, for instance.

Amazon Unveils a [Horrifying] Fanfic Publishing Platform

Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.

[wendimydarling]

to lovely humans who were excluded from invitations, left behind when they tied their shoes, forced to walk in the grass when the sidewalk was full, spoken over when you tried to contribute, whispered about or laughed at, given the side eye when you tried to fit in... you are so worthy of love and I’m sorry people have convinced you otherwise. I promise that your people are out there - people who will see the side of you others ignore, people who share weird inside jokes with you, give you affectionate nicknames and go to museums or roadtrips with you and fulfil whatever idea of friendship you’ve always fantasized about. even if you feel like an empty shell of your former self because you’ve hidden yourself away due to shame, this exterior will melt when you accept yourself or let people in and you’ll realize there was nothing wrong with you all along. you have interesting things to say, you deserve new chances and beginnings, your heart is probably made of gold because you know what it’s like to be left out in the cold, and you have so much to give. you are so worthy and someone’s idea of a friend too, and I hope you receive lots of hugs in the future from yourself and others because you’re so lovable.

RPF (especially sexual) is fucking creepy, a gross invasion of privacy and honestly just weird and perverted. You'd lose your shit if some stranger wrote literal self-insert porn about you.

Keep that shit out of the Henry tag. Better yet, don't fucking write it at all. Or if you're that fucked up keep it to private Discord groups you fucking creepy asshole.

Thank you for stopping by my blog, you wise person. Here's a tall glass of no-shits-given-by-me and you can show yourself out.

And FYI, o' Henry's super fan, RPF stands for real person FICTION. If you are bothered by it, might as well block the tag, or me (I really don't care) and stick to YOUR sad little discord channel.

Thank you my love! ♥️

When He Loved Me

Title: When He Loved Me

Summary: “Through the summer and the fall We had each other, that was all Just he and I together Like it was meant to be”

Pairing: Mikey x OFC

Word Count: 513

Warnings: Angst, heartache, untimely death.

A/N: I made this wedding moodboard for @emyearns on Monday for Valentine’s Day, and she and I started talking about how much we loved that it was an elopement and she suggested that they would tattoo rings instead of him wearing a band cause they were kids, they couldn’t afford it anyway. I tried my damnedest to get her to write it but she refused, she forced me to do it. First time I’ve written anything in close to a month, hope it doesn’t suck too bad.

(Summary is a tweaked stanza from the song “When She Loved Me” from Toy Story 2, sung by Sarah McLaughlin. GIF credit goes to @amancanfly)

“Let’s get married.”

He said it so calmly, I wasn’t certain he was serious. Arguments immediately flooded my mind: we’re too young, people would frown on it, what did I even know about love and marriage. And yet, there was something in his tone that was so certain, so sure, I couldn’t help my reply.

“Okay.”

That very weekend we wed. I wore a simple white dress, five people came with us, and nestled deep within the forest, blanketed in snow, ‘he and I’ became ‘we’, and we were so in love. We had our rings tattooed right there at the wedding because we couldn’t afford real ones, but I preferred the permanence anyway. All was happiness, all easy joy, all was excitement for the future. Together... We.

Our little apartment barely held us, but we didn’t mind. There was so much laughter that happened in that place, so much love. And so, so much sex. Maybe we weren’t together that long, but that boy knew me in ways I didn’t even know myself. He brought forth desires within me, created new longings and emotions that I’d never experienced in my short existence. Lost in our tiny world, we were lost in each other, unaware of the looming presence of darkness. No, there was no light at the end of our heart-shaped tunnel. We barely had the chance to be whole before suddenly I was learning how to be broken.

Some wounds never heal. He’s there in the moments that he’s not, a haunting presence of the life that never got to fly. When I remove my wedding band before bed because pregnancy has caused night time swelling, he remains behind in the slim line of ink that circles my finger. The ghost of his touch is on my skin at every party, lurring me to secluded corners and reminding me of stolen moments. Every now and then I’ll see him in a stranger’s eyes, bright summer sky flashing through the depths of my soul until I can’t breathe.

My daughter looks like him. She was born five years after he left me, and yet I can’t help but see him. His curls, his smile. She’s funny like him, but maybe he was funny like him because I’m funny like me and he was funny like me. Maybe I see him in her because a part of him was a mirror of me. She looks like her father; maybe I have a type. The line is so blurry.

How can one forget what never got to be? How could I possibly get over a life that I wasn’t allowed to have? I was a different person with him, but I buried her in his casket. She died when he did, the memory of her happiness six feet under for the rest of my time. I am no longer that girl, the starry-eyed girl who said yes to the handsome young boy without a penny to his name.

Because he is gone, therefore so is she.

But life goes on.

And so do we.

Please read!

Little edit because now it's over 2000 notes. And I don't want to complain, 2000 notes is... WOW. But still...

This is a little upsetting. Discouraging. I've seen many content creators speak up about how important reblogs are, so I wanted to join in...

These are the notes on my story Tease (the only story of mine to reach 1000 notes even remotely). As you can see, reblogs only make up 8% of the notes. And I know you can't force anyone to reblog your content, but compared to the hours, weeks, (depending on the story you're writing) even months it takes to write, the few seconds it takes to reblog are nothing, but their impact is immense.

Reblogging a creator's work is sharing it. If you're not comfortable letting other people know you enjoy smut, that's fine, I understand. It's still your blog and your decision. But if you're comfortable with sharing it, please do, if you enjoyed a story.

Seeing this gap in likes and reblogs is frustrating for content creators. For one, reblogs give us a wider reach, a chance to receive comments. Comments are a creator's payment, because we create otherwise for free. Fanfic is a free form of entertainment. Likes are good, don't get me wrong, I get excited over every single note I get, every single one is special to me, but reblogs mean so much more. It's not just "yeah I liked it" but "I liked it and I think you should see it too". It gives us validation for our work.

If you yourself are a writer, you know how hard it is to write sometimes. You stare at your doc with a plan or story in your mind, but you can't find the words for it. That is what writing is. It's not an easy hobby. It's time consuming and sometimes frustrating, but at the end of the day, rewarding. We're giving you stuff to read for free, we only ask for one thing in return, validation.

Please give us writers validation. Because it's motivating us to create more, and rewarding us for things we have already created.

Without validation, we're less motivated to create and share content, because we too can be insecure. We can think to ourselves "who will care if i post this?" about content we spent a lot of time creating.

So please give us the validation. Fanfic is free on the receiving end, but not on the creating end. Giving us validation in form of reblogs will cost you nothing, but it means everything to us.

Thank you.

-Lisa 💕
