i love Maggie. heroine of all time. instacart driver who gets transported into her favorite fantasy novel and goes, iβm gonna save all of you. appreciates toilet paper. loves pastries. refuses to kiss her favorite character bc she knows too much about him and doesnβt want to take advantage. so fucking smart. doesnβt let anybody run roughshod over her. bludgeons bad guysβ (PLURAL) heads in. doesnβt hesitate to sacrifice herself for what she believes in. still takes a second to notice the hotness of dudes while in an unbelievably traumatic amount of stress. so compassionate. always tries to do the right thing. will yell at the scariest motherfucker in the entire world for messing up her plans. just cares so much. i love her i love her i love her
Working on an idea for the sleepless duke from This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me
Sketch. Maggie from This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews.

βIf anyone enters this house tonight, even if they appear by magic, I will know and I will kill them.β βSilveren is a good fighter.β βIβm better.β βThe Tower . . .β βEven if he empties the Tower and brings every Redeemer knight to this house, I will cut them down and take his head. He will never touch you.β βBecause youβre the Sleepless Duke.β βThatβs one reason.β
Baybeee, he is saying he's gonna marry you
And it's all gonna be above-board bc you just made yourself a pedigree'd noblewoman from a neighboring family that he might reasonably want to strengthen alliances with during these tumultuous times
MY TOP 6 ILONA ANDREWS BOOKS
Maggie (learning how to use a dagger from Ramond): wow, Iβd always thought dagger wielding, throat clutching scenes with a dark handsome knight were so hot but there is nothing hot about thisβ¦ this is terrifying and traumatizing andβ
Me (witnessing Ramond talk her through it):
Maggie, girl, you don't have to be this strong.
βCome with me to Selva.β It was almost a plea. βYou know I canβt.β βI donβt want to leave you here without my protection.β βI have the Magnars and the Shears.β βCome with me. I swear on the memory of my father I will bring you back to Kair Toren in twenty days.β βI canβt. There are things I must do here. The futureββ βFuck the future. If I come back here and find you gone, I will level this damn city. If you care for Kair Toren, come with me.β
This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me
βI thought we had established trust.β Everard looked into my eyes. βI trust you with my life. Just not with my freedom.β The Sleepless Duke smiled. It was an indescribable smile, knitted from determination, power, and pure heat. βThen I shall have to work harder.β Dear god.
This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me

Not sure why it's a new trend among fic readers to assume if the fic has not been posted within the week it's inappropriate to comment on it, like the fic has to be hot out of the oven to give feedback for.
I got a comment on a fic that is less than a year old and it was mostly an apology for being a comment on an "old fic" and how late they were in commenting.
Just comment on the fic. Doesn't matter how old it is.
Fandom is not social media.
Fandom is not trends.
Fandom is a cross between a library and having a slumber party with your friends.
"Old" means nothing to fic.
got curious because idk how well-known this is internationally so:
Are you familiar with twist bread/Stockbrot?
Yes; I'm German
No; I'm German
Yes; I'm not German
No; I'm not German

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly donβt get it. I call it the Pascal Method.
Taylor Swift does this
no she doesnβt
You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

Watching the new Folding Ideas video and I can't stop thinking that Mr Beast is unsatisfied because he doesn't have a fandom. He is dying to understand where to throw money to make fandom happen. It gives me great pleasure to know that we hold the power to keep mr. Beast miserable
When Dan Olson said that Mr Beast's people asked him and a bunch of other youtubers "How do you create fandom", I experienced a moment of terror so visceral that my heart jumped into my throat. But luckily what followed was a thorough reassurance that he would never be able to understand the answer to that question.
The reason WHY Team Beast wants to "create fandom" is because they have an awareness that fandom is something that makes Number Go Up, and they want to have access that sort of loyalty and attention. But fandom isn't really something you create intentionally, it's more of a natural side effect of caring about something a lot, and going about the business of expressing how much you care, and finding community that cares in a similar way. But Mr Beast and his team do not actually care about anything at all, except Number Go Up. Everything Team Beast does is just a random exercise in throwing money at different ideas to see which makes Number Increase More.
Team Beast made chocolate bars because they know their audience of kids likes and buys candy, not because they liked candy or were interested in the process of making good candy. This is how they ended up making a chocolate bar that lacked the pre-sectioned bar shape that any other reputable candy maker has known and utilized for decades.
Team Beast made a reality show, because they know that reality shows are popular, and that Squid Game was a massive cross-cultural phenomenon, not because they care about reality shows, or are interested in telling stories about the limits of human cooperation and integrity in high stress, high rewards situations. This is how they ended up making a reality show with too many people to focus on any sort of interesting individual narratives, filled with elimination challenges that didn't work.
Team Beast is basically going down a checklist of "what activities that have the highest profits/highest level of public awareness associated with them" because they want that Simple Numerical Supremacy that comes from them, not because they care about the actual activities themselves. This also explains why Dan Olson was invited to Team Beast's studios to begin with. They probably only have a vague awareness of him as a guy on youtube with a million subscribers, and a 2 hour documentary about NFTs that is apocryphally regarded as the Film That Ended The Business. They don't actually care about what he or other youtubers consider important. They just want their fandoms.
