"Sir, your child does not need a knife"

she/they, ace, angst dragon. responsible for half the regis/nyx fics on ao3. always in ffxv hell. now in ffxiv hell. prompts are open. don't give me caffeine. when will my inspiration come back from the plague? pfp by @/saltymonday

[charlottedabookworm]

just realised that my pinned post is two years old and has so many edits to it, so:

hi. i'm char, she/they, and i dunno why you're here but welcome

mostly i just reblog random shit and complain about life so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

occasionally, i write fanfic. my most prolific fandom is FFXV and i also write for various other fandoms, most recently FFXIV, and I've long been infected into OC hell (most of my FFXV ocs are here and my FFXIV WoLs are here for anyone who's curious)

most of my fic can be found under either #my fic or #snippets as well as general fandom tags (my many many many ffxv aus have their own page to try and keep track of them here) and my ao3 account is under the same user

I swear i'm gonna get back to my fics eventually but the pandemic followed by my masters has just drained all inspiration away from me rn

anyway these days i've been live blogging a lot of games, mostly FFXIV and FFXVI but not only. if you want to avoid the posts, block the #char liveblogs ffxiv and #char plays ffxvi and #char does vidya games tags because I know they can be a lot and people don't wanna fill their dash with them

my prompts are always open

well the thing is that's an extremely reasonable concern

i dont understand people who never reread a book or rewatch a movie or series. the best art will always improve upon being revisited. girl. let it reveal more of itself to you.

okay so spock (the alien in blue) essentially goes into heat. like literal heat like an animal. Anyway, spock’s in bloodlust in this episode and must go back to vulcan to have sex with his finace (or someone. but its supposed to be his fiance) or he’ll literally die. this is called pon farr and some backstory spock is half human and thought he wouldnt go through pon farr so he abandoned his HOT fiance to fuck around in space except oops pon farr happens so. he and kirk (in yellow getting his tits cut open, he’s also spocks captain and best friend) and their other friend mccoy go to vulcan so he can have sex with his fiance or get married or whatever so he doesn’t die. but then spock’s fiance (t’pring) is like no i dont want to marry spock i want to have him fight someone to death (which she can do) and spock at this point is fully in the ‘blood lust’ and is basically not in his right mind and doesnt get what’s happening. and t’pring picks kirk to be her ‘champion’ in the fight (her logic is that if spock dies in the fight she doesnt have to marry him and if kirk dies, spock will be so upset with her he won’t marry her anymore anyway). anyway kirk doesnt know that its a fight to the death and so he’s like of course i’ll do this fight if it’ll help spock and then he gets told it’s a fight to the death and he goes WHAT and right afterwards spock slices his titties open like in the gif. also eventually spock and kirk roll around in the sand and kirk fakes his death and THIS somehow knocks spock out of his blood lust and he goes back to the ship super sad bc he’s killed his ‘best friend’ only to discover kirk’s alive and we see one of his biggest smiles of the series (a big deal bc spock is vulcan and they dont show emotion). anyway this aired as the season opener in 1967. know your history and all that happy pride

Welcome to the AKOTSK fandom, where the blorbo options include the human personification of a livestock guardian dog, a single mom of six awful children, your hot college professor, drunk girlfriend (middle aged man), Kassandra but more pathetic, The Freak, that guy who only appears so his dad can die in his armor, the bald ten year old, the most beautiful women, and the apple boy.

hasty swing.

From the Wiki of Ice and Fire:

Maekar: Some men will say I meant to kill my brother. The gods know it is a lie, but I will hear the whispers till the day I die. And it was my mace that dealt the fatal blow, I have no doubt. The only other foes he faced in the melee were three Kingsguard, whose vows forbade them to do any more than defend themselves. So it was me. Strange to say, I do not recall the blow that broke his skull. Is that a mercy or a curse? Some of both, I think. Duncan: I could not say, Your Grace. You swung the mace, m'lord, but it was for me Prince Baelor died. So I killed him too, as much as you.

Yes I hate Uther, but i am mature enough to recognize that when Arthur said "I can't stand by and watch him die" and Uther responded "then dont look." It was iconic

yeah, sure, it was the "power of friendship" that defeated you, and not my super cool "mega bone explosions" spell that I worked really hard on, whatever idiot

look, if i catch sight of a mutual's unfortunately popular post in the wild dragging their flailing body behind it, i am obligated to smack that pony's ass and send them for another round of the pasture. i'm sorry, it's nothing personal, but it's in my contract

[thesporkidentity]

...yeah that's fair

[charlottedabookworm]

one of my favourite things about ff16 is the way it just- lets you sit in the moment, sometimes. minimal background music, just you and a scene that most games (or media in general) would have cut away from

it makes you linger in the emotions, makes you feel like the characters are real, and it doesn't let you look away and i love that about the game
