ASOIAF

BUTCHERED TONGUE :: AO3 ( rhaenys targaryen/jon snow, rhaegar lives au )

Rhaegar and Lyanna live. Elia and Aegon do not. Rhaenys Martell Targaryen suffers all the same.

OF WINE AND MARIGOLDS :: AO3 ( daeron the drunken/original female character )

Daeron is sent by his father to the Red Keep in the hopes he will return to Summerhall more of a man than he left. Instead, he finds a girl who pours him wine and smells of marigolds, and discovers that even in dreams he cannot escape her.

SUN BLEACHED FLIES :: AO3 ( daeron the drunken/original female character )

The night of his second cousin's engagement ceremony, Prince Daeron Targaryen stumbles into the arms of a beautiful woman, mistaking her for a common whore. It is only when his hangover has cured and his mind is his once more he sees her for who she truly is. Lady Amaya Uller. The only daughter and heir to Hellholt. And Prince Mors Martell's bride to be.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS

MEET ME IN THE WOODS :: AO3 ( elrond peredhel/original female character )

Her hair weaves shadow with starlight and all of the birds have stopped their songs to listen to hers. She dances, barefoot and strange, like a lily on the wind and Elrond’s breath catches when her face—golden and shining—catches the sun. “Tinúviel?” Her singing stops and she turns to look at him. In which Elrond is both Beren and Lúthien.

THIS WANDERING DAY :: AO3 ( aragorn/original female character )

Emma Baird falls asleep outside an unusual set of ruins while camping in the Irish countryside. When she wakes, she finds herself being chased through unfamiliar trees by creatures torn out of her worst nightmares and no way home. Maybe she should have listened to her friends and finally read those books instead of solely relying on her movie knowledge to guide her.

STRANGER THINGS

THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS :: AO3 ( steve harrington/original female character )

It starts, as most stories do, with a depressed twenty-something hating her life and wishing to be somewhere else. Except Emma Foster's not twenty-something anymore, she’s sixteen. With acne and body issues and terrible BO, it's her worst nightmare. And the somewhere else she’s ended up in? Hawkins, Indiana. 1983.

never take for granted the moments when you’re not nauseous

i think people are starting to confuse class analysis with bioessentialism. like... no not all men do this, but Men as a constructed social class do do this. that's still okay to say. that is regular material analysis of the world around us.

Happy MAMMA MIA! day to those who celebrate

academic dishonesty is not something you can spin as moral lol i do not want to share a career field let alone a social sphere with a bunch of chatgpt using ass bitches

[medusadyke]

"you're just scared your diploma is going to devalue" i'm afraid you dumb bitches are going to become my colleagues and drag social services to hell

I'm afraid they'll become scientists and data that lives depend on will turn out to be wrong - and people will die.

I'm afraid they'll become engineers and sign off on bridge designs that collapse - and people will die.

I'm afraid they'll become medical professionals who don't know what they're doing - and people will die.

The assumption that academic dishonesty is okay is rooted in the idea that what you're learning to do doesn't matter.

I think the thing about B&C as it was in F&B is that it fully validates Alicent's efforts to put Aegon on the Throne. Like, not saying that what Aemond did to Lucerys was called for, but it was something that happened between two dragonriders who were both old enough to be considered a genuine threat to each other's sides of the war. But Jaehaerys? He was literally just a baby. A baby in his nursery. The fact that Rhaenyra and Daemon found it acceptable to kill him for vengeance fully validates Alicent's fears that her sons would not have been safe if Rhaenyra ascended the throne.

WIP WEDNESDAY (Thursday)

thank you so much @endless-oc-creations! I've been crazy busy with school lately, so not much time for fanfic, but I have been working on some original work! This is for my fantasy standalone!

“You’re certain this is necessary?” He asked. Nyssa shot him a glare. “You were the one who asked for my sworn protection.”  “Yes, well, when I said that I was expecting more ‘hand to hand, sword to sword’ not…” Hale eyed the circle drawn in ash before him warily, features contorting into a grimace, “whatever this is.”  If he was trying to be funny he was failing miserably.  Nyssa’s glare turned into a glower, “Not all of us follow the example of Isai Traore,” She spoke with a curt tone, trying and failing to hide the curl of her lip. “Some of us still follow the gods.” “I’m not faulting you for choosing your divine patron, I’m merely stating–” “Calathe is not a patron,” Nyssa spat, blood boiling underneath her skin at his words, “She’s the essence of nature, the spirit of the wilds, the woman who gave up her mortal body to–” “--imbue mindless bodies of clay with free will,” Hale recited with a roll of his eyes, “Yes, I’m aware, I heard the stories growing up.”  Her teeth ached as they ground against one another.  “Then you know it’s insulting to call our worship of her anything but what it is.”  “Desperate?” Hale replied with a wry smile.

"It was my choice. I bore Viserys three Targaryens. But with the last, my last... I wanted him to be a Hightower. In truth, I'm glad I waged that battle, seeing now what came of our other sons. Perhaps sending Daeron away was my truest act of motherhood."
