Yes, I’m on a break from writing, but I feel like I need to chat about the absolute dread of reading so many fanfics. Whether it’s a ship or an x reader. You realise you’ve read nearly all of the works that appear under said tag, so you have to wallow in hell trying to scroll for one that you haven't read, or you just re-read the ones you’ve already read, but it doesn’t hit the same.
I’VE DONE THIS WITH SO MANY CHARACTERS THAT I’VE JUST ACCEPTED IT AND TALK TO MYSELF THAT AS SOON as I'm off my break, I'm going to write for all these characters.
I finally did this trend with my babies the Naturals, hope I’m not too late lol
╭┈ ♡ It also kinda turned into moodboards and I really loved that cause I tried to make the aesthetics feel as canon as possible for each character. Also funny how this edit lowkey became “what animals the characters are associated with” too
I wish someone could make me another TJ fic….specifically my favorite writer

Summary: Cuddles and Tea
╰┈➤˗ˏˋ ⌞Magnus Chase Masterlist⌝ ˎˊ˗
Floor Nineteen was unusually quiet tonight. No screaming matches between Halfborn and Mallory. No sounds of weapons clashing down the hall. Just the low murmur of the television and the crackling fireplace warming your bedroom in Hotel Valhalla.
T.J. sat comfortably sunk into the couch beside you, one arm securely wrapped around your shoulders while the other rested lazily across his lap. Both of you wore the ugliest sweaters imaginable. His had the initials “T.J.” plastered proudly across the front, while the back displayed a terribly knitted rifle that looked more like a crooked stick than an actual weapon. Yours wasn’t much better, your own initials stitched unevenly into the fabric with a messy recreation of your weapon sprawled across the back so unrecognizable that nobody would’ve guessed what it was supposed to be unless you explained it first.
They were absolutely horrendous which was exactly why the two of you adored them especially knowing you’d made the sweaters for each other by hand “You know,” T.J. murmured thoughtfully, glancing down at your sweater, “I believe yours might qualify as a war crime.” You gasped dramatically. “Coming from the man who has a gun on his sweater", T.J. laughed softly under his breath, the sound warm enough to melt straight into your chest.
The TV continued playing some random Midgard sitcom neither of you were actually paying attention to anymore. You were too comfortable curled against him, head resting near his shoulder while his thumb lazily rubbed circles against your arm.
Eventually, T.J. shifted slightly. “I’m gonna make some tea.” Instantly your grip tightened around him “Nooo,” you whined, dragging the word out as you buried your face into his sweater. “Stay here.” “I’ll be back in two minutes.” “That is far too long.” T.J. chuckled quietly. “I accept this challenge.” Before you could protest again, he leaned down and pressed a quick kiss against your forehead. Then another against your cheek just because he knew it would make you smile.
You groaned dramatically anyway as he stood up, though the grin pulling at your lips completely ruined the act. From the couch, you watched him move around the kitchenette in his old blue military coat, thrown over the ridiculous sweater, carefully preparing the tea with practised ease. There was something unfairly endearing about it. T.J. always carried himself with this natural confidence, this steady warmth that made every room feel safer the second he stepped into it.
Then he caught you staring “What?” he asked with a small smile. You only pulled your knees closer to your chest, smiling right back at him. “Nothin’. I just like lookin’ at you.” T.J. paused for half a second, clearly trying not to look too pleased with himself. “Well,” he cleared his throat, “that is mighty kind of you to say.” “You’re adorable.” “I fought in the Civil War.” “And you’re still adorable.” He shook his head, laughing softly as he carried the mugs over.
The moment he handed you yours, you happily took a sip, humming at the warmth before immediately leaning back into his side again. Neither of you touched the tea much after that.
The mugs eventually sat forgotten on the coffee table while the two of you ended up tangled together beneath a blanket, exchanging lazy kisses between quiet laughter and half-finished conversations. Every now and then T.J. would smile against your lips like he couldn’t help himself.
Loud running echoed down the hallway outside followed by what sounded suspiciously like Halfborn yelling something incomprehensible. You immediately snorted, already recognising the chaos brewing somewhere on the floor T.J. sighed deeply. “Peace was nice while it lasted.” “Just ignore it, love you”, you mumbled sleepily, curling closer into him.
A fond expression softened across his face instantly. One of his hands gently rested against yours while he pressed one last kiss to your temple. “Mm,” he whispered quietly, voice warm as the fire beside you, “love you too.”
daybreak will never reach its true potential as long as the dev team is a cliquey friend group that occasionally picks an obsessed fan-artist to join their inner circle
redrawing that one part in the second (?? or third? i forget) book where alex and tj gave magnus a garlic donut and he got sad bc his breath was gonna stink
Yes, I personally headcanon Piper as a lesbian, but it’s so deeply important to me that Piper’s sexuality remains unlabeled in canon. I love that sapphics of all labels are able to see themselves in her and her journey. It drives me crazy when I see people mistakenly say that Piper is canonically a lesbian, when she’s made it incredibly clear in canon that she doesn’t have a label for her sexuality.
Also, I want to push back on the narrative that being unlabeled is a temporary setback to discovering your “true label.” For some people, it is, but for many, being unlabeled is permanent and something they embrace. That doesn’t make them any less queer. We have to stop acting like it does.
sadie: people single me out because im mixed-race, along with other reasons
carter: sadie isnt exactly blonde or brunette and she has lighter skin than me
the fandom: so shes whitepassing so much that shes basically a white girl & she never faces racism bc she has bright blond hair and shes pale and thats canon because theres no other way for her and carter to look different enough that theyre never seen as siblings also i love viria
whilst i know it's very unethical to have a raccoon as a pet, hypothetically, if i could communicate with a raccoon and ask it and get its consent, would a raccoon enjoy getting scritches.
. ݁₊ ⊹ . 📽.ᐟ director tanner briggs is taking on someone new...
note: hi everyone welcome to part 1 of the jlbverse acting au!! im finally doing it who cheered!! (only phine actually knew abt it) i will lose track of the parts so enjoy the numbering while it lasts.... and dw guys everyone else WILL be coming i have Things planned 😈
currently playing: AM by arctic monkeys
. ݁₊ ⊹ . 📽.ᐟ but who's who in the films?
in which the local newspaper decides to review film director tanner briggs's go-to stars as he picks up a fifth.
˙✧˖°📷 ༘ ⋆｡˚
𝐷𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑅𝑒𝑑𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔: Hollywood's brood? The girls love him, but ever since he came onto Briggs's radar when the currently renowned director was just starting out, he hasn't been known to show much emotions: anywhere. Rumor has it he's just waiting for the right girl... While Redding isn't a source of great scandal, there have been rumors about him: the most prominent being that he's secretly related to Briggs. These rumors were never officially debunked, but most people who try to convince you of this may come off as crazy.
𝐿𝑖𝑎 𝑍ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔: Representation doesn't come easy in Hollywood, which is why Tanner Briggs shocked everyone when his second star turned out to be an Asian girl. However, Zhang found her place in Hollywood easily, fitting in well enough: although she is prone to flipping off paparazzi. Despite her level of transparency with the media, little is known about her past, and there are rumors that it's filled with scandals. And if we took a vote to find out which of Briggs's stars would be most likely to cause a scandal, she surely would get a significant amount of votes...
𝑆𝑙𝑜𝑎𝑛𝑒 𝑇𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑠ℎ: Briggs's choice here didn't shock many people: while it's still unknown who her biological father is, nine out of ten people could recognize her mother as Margot Tavish, the former showgirl who overdosed a few years ago. Over the years, Tavish has proved herself in the film industry, and a good majority of her roles challenge the "dumb blonde" stereotype, which Hollywood itself originally introduced. It's a bold choice on Briggs's part, and it does leave people wondering: Does she really memorize all those facts?
𝑀𝑖𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑒𝑙 𝑇𝑜𝑤𝑛𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑑: More commonly known as one of "Hollywood's knockouts", Townsend cemented his place in Briggs's group the second he rolled onto the scene with his trust fund and cavalier attitude. Some people cite nepotism, but it's argued that Townsend's profession as an actor goes against his father's desires: and there's solid evidence that father and son have minimal, if any, contact. Fans weren't surprised when theories started popping up about him having a relationship with Lia Zhang. A double dose of recklessness? If you asked us, it sounds like a recipe for disaster.
𝐶𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑒 𝐻𝑜𝑏𝑏𝑒𝑠: Briggs's new face! Very little is known about her so far. Fans are already speculating what she'll bring to the table, and what she could do to the group's dynamics: will either of the boys fall for her, or will she end up with someone outside of Tanner Briggs's group? Only time will tell.
