Midnight NYE kisses for all of you!

I am so grateful for falling into this trashpit and seeing all the amazing works and reading all the excellent stories. I couldn’t settle on one picture, so I made six just to be sure… General Hux with the human tantrum Ren, Ben and Armitage from our modern days au (I bet they met at a coffee bar), the dashing Emperor and his loyal knight Kylo, the treasure which TLJ gave us in the form of Supreme Leader and Grand Marshal, Clyde and Stensland (because why not) and our beloved tech boys! 

Here’s to another two years, may the force be with you all!

Okay well people seem to like my reylo stuff so I'm posting a older sketch here in where ben is dressed more like his dad ❤

[solohux]

One night after some gentle sex hux wakes up to see a robed figure at the foot of the bed. He goes for his blaster but the figure stops him. Take care of him please they say tears in their eyes as they look at ren. It's tai......

Anon, I’m slain. My heart!

Hux and Kylo are sleeping face to face, foreheads pressed against each other as they share a dream of a happy and bright future together. Kylo sleeps on whilst Hux is roused by eyes on him, waking to see a shadowy blue figure at the bottom of the bed.

The figure pulls the hood of his robe down once Hux is forced to lower his blaster. It’s a human male with sharp blue eyes and a hairless head. Tears fall down his cheeks.

‘Ben needs someone,’ the man says. ‘He always needs someone. I was that person once. Right now, it’s you. Please. Please take care of him. He needs love.’

The man is staring with such heartfelt devotion at Kylo that Hux feels protective of his lover. He would never abandon Kylo, never hurt him, so he nods solemnly at the shadowy figure before laying back down in bed, covering Kylo up with the blankets and kissing his forehead.

Tai returns to the Force, hating the fact that he isn’t the one to hold Ben in his arms, despising how he’s fallen in love with an Imperial General, but at least Ben is happy. That’s all Tai ever really wanted.

Can’t think of a single apocalypse or plague movie that anticipated the run on toilet paper.

To the fandom of Captive Prince: please know I really love you and thanks for the arts, prompts, ficlets and any fics you wrote because I usually read them before sleeping (and if you ever wrote AU where Auguste lives, thumb up!)

It's still so cute that gentleness is all it takes to get Laurent to come. And funny that somewhere in between getting Ios under control and recovering from being stabbed, Damen took the time to find out that Laurent has really sensitive nipples. His priorities are right where they should be.

[not-a-coral-snake]

One of the most interesting textual inconsistencies in Captive Prince is who died first–Aleron or Auguste. In book 1, when Damen is reflecting on Marlas he recalls how Auguste was able to hold the army together after his father’s death. In book three, though, Paschal suggests that Aleron’s death was caused, in part, by carelessness in the wake of Auguste’s death.

And this is interesting because each scenario has cool implications, and I kind of like it both ways. On the one hand, the idea of Auguste, king-for-an-afternoon, putting aside his grief to defend his country is really poignant. The fact that the army had such utter confidence in the crown prince that Aleron’s death didn’t break them speaks to just how strong a leader Auguste was. And if Aleron died first, surely Damen knew that the king of Vere was dead when he went to the front lines to challenge Auguste. He would have known that killing Auguste would not only break the Veretian lines but also win the battle, win the war, leave Vere kingless. It’s not just a military move, it’s a political one.

On the other hand, the idea of Auguste dying first and Aleron basically ignoring Laurent and taking stupid risks adds an interesting perspective on all three characters and on Laurent’s childhood. I mean, it’s heartbreaking, and while we already know that Aleron and Laurent were never close, this suggests an even more distant relationship than I would have assumed. (My personal take is that Laurent wasn’t surprised, at his trial, by the idea that his father thought he had nothing to live for after Auguste died, but he is surprised that it was obvious to a comparative outsider like Paschal.) But to discuss this more charitably, it’s hard to act rationally in the immediate wake of losing a loved one, and it seems like Aleron reacts to pain by pushing people away and making ill-thought-out choices–which is, of course, what Laurent does as well.

Finally, either scenario makes me wonder about the regent’s plans. Had he been planning to kill both Aleron and Auguste in one battle? Was there another archer waiting to kill Auguste and make it look like an accident? My sense is no, that both king and crown prince being killed by stray arrows would have looked too suspicious. So if Aleron died first, had the regent resigned himself to a power struggle with Auguste until he’s able to kill him later? On the other hand, if Auguste dies first–well, he was probably closer to the front lines than Aleron and more likely to be killed in battle. Did the regent’s assassin have orders to only shoot the king if Auguste had already been killed in the fighting?

no offense to 2020 but what the fuck

2020 is already out for blood and it's not even the end of March

If this is God or Mother Earth or whoever trying to wipe us out, I wish they’d stop beating around the bush. Just drop a meteor on us and get it over with.
