Hello there!

My name is Shar (she/her) and this blog is a writeblr paired with literally anything else that strikes my fancy. I'm 20+ from the middle of bumfuck nowhere Central Europe and I study History in the largest village in the Czech Republic.

I've been on a considerable half-hiatus and I am currently working to bring this blog up to speed with some new developments.

My DMs and Asks are open (though not on anon yet because some fascinating anon's tried telling me to kill myself over a joke and I'm still waiting for them to grow a spine and put their name to the opinion).

I enjoy tag games but I'm also slow to respond.

ABOUT MY WORK

I write fantasy and dabble in sci-fi. Most of my experience is in high fantasy.

I also write fanfiction which can be found on my ao3 account here.

I draw but don't expect to see much of it because I'm shy about posting my art.

You can expect swearing (in my writing and on the blog itself). It is nothing excessive but it is present.

I've tried my hand at poetry exactly once and it didn't work out but it sometimes appears in my writing for Worldbuilding purposes. Consider yourself warned.

MY WIPS

History That Is Now - A monster-sized Shadowhunters/TSC fanfiction that can be found on the ao3 account linked above. Ongoing.

Under Crimson Skies:

The Spirits encroach on Rotstern Island more and more often and those they possessed grow ever bolder. To protect their people, the Guild attempts to revive an age-old alliance with the Hunters of Strogos.

When a disaster strikes during one of Sefya and Cora's hunts, the dyad is forced to flee the hunters' compound. Soon, they are swept into the eye of the storm that looms on the horizon. Not everything at the Rotstern Island is what it seems and when history and magic start coming apart, no one is safe.

Beyond the roots, blood must spill. Blood of the faithful.

Also, not gonna lie, it is so refreshing to have a major cultural moment that's just FREE. You don't have to pay a cent to watch this on NASA's YouTube. There's not a single ad, not a single sponsor plastered anywhere. It's just smart people doing cool things.

Closest thing we got to an ad was the jar of Nutella that escaped.

Can someone explain to me since when does Jocelyn have a brother??

[shareaus]

If you had to rank the circle members from your most favourite to your least favourite, what would that order be? And why would it be so? (as in reasons for liking/hating a char)

I actually already answered this once but I'll try without looking the previous answer up. I'll find it later and link it on the bottom so you can compare.

Actually, I think i'm gonna have to make two lists because i keep being of two minds about this. this first one is how compelling I think they are as a character in the books:

Valentine - Unhinged.

Maryse - she deserves a medal for putting up with any of these people. Her brother makes me want to cry. She needs therapy.

Robert - absolute disaster of a man. The fact that he got elected the Inquisitor haunts me.

Jocelyn - I love her as much as I hate her. Or better, I love to hate on her. As a character, she's amazing, she will not take blame, etc., etc. Her life choices are a dumpster fire. I love to trash-talk her.

Lucian - missed the mark. Could've been such a good character with strong conflict and instead he's kind of just a wet blanket.

Hodge - He's so messed up at all points in the timeline. He's holding on by a thread.

Stephen - very fun but not explored enough. He has sitcom potential.

Céline - She's frustrating to me. She has a pathetic little act going on and a puppy-crush on Stephen and I need her to do better.

Michael - I am sorry, he's a sunshine. But he's the definition of a background character. He deserved better

Amatis - She doesn't have much going for her. I love her conceptually but she's missing a point. Her character revolves around Stephen and Luke and I don't like that.

and a second list for how much I actually personally like them, influenced heavily by my own damn fic:

Maryse - actual queen. holds the only brain cell, usually

Amatis - she is sane and rightfully fed up with this shit

Robert - walking disaster. there is no problem he cannot create

Lucian - self-righteous prick but gets bonus points for being a puppy

Valentine - manipulative bastard, he's only this high because I think he could've been better

Stephen - herondale fuck-up but fun

Céline - she needs therapy and to stop feeling sorry for herself. also that was not her man

Hodge - he needs to stop moping and get his shit together

Michael - I simply don't know enough about him, canonically

Jocelyn - she annoys me

and as promised, the link to the original list here. I still think that list has merit. especially since if you ask me in two weeks, the list is going to be different

What are your opinions about the JKR controversy that's been going on? Do you think it's worth it to stop reading HP books bcoz they're ultimately affected by her propaganda, and also, do you believe in the allegations that HP is plaigrised/not original? (there's an ongoing hate on the internet for the entire premise of HP and this is coming from someone who's already read hp btw, I'm just intrigued to know your takes on this topic)

Honestly, most of the time I just don't want to think about her at all. I am tired of it, tired of her. I am exhausted just thinking about her. I want her to go away and not come back.

My feelings about the HP books are more complex but I just...don't want to be having that conversation. Even thinking about the whole thing makes me want to eat my hands. Personally, I choose not to engage with anything new she puts out. But does setting the books you already own on fire do anything though? I doubt it. Does reading them make you a terrible person? I don't think so. Do I think writing HP fanfiction in the year of our lord 2025 makes you inherently a terrible person? No.

As for whether it's plagiarised or not? I simply do not give a fuck.

Oh so that's what books mean when they talk about seeing a swordperson or a martial artist move and immediately knowing you're fucked. If I saw someone handle a weapon or switch martial art stances that smoothly and with that economy of motion, I would immediately know I was going to die.

Your thoughts about TID? And if you've read it, which were your fav chars/ships? What about the least fav ones? What do you personally think of the hype that this series has gotten over time?

I had to google which series TID stands for, so that in and of itself is an answer to the question, I think. I haven't read the series, although a friend told me it's very good and I should give it a go. I only have the barest idea of what goes on in the series and who the characters are. Tessa sounds...vaguely interesting conceptually though if her character is executed well I cannot judge (having not read it). I don't know enough about her love triangle boytoys to judge that either but I guess I do enjoy that she gets to be with both of them eventually. I have heard there is a non-zero amount of demon fucking involved in the plot so good for Benedict! Except for the part where he turns into a worm. That sounds awful.

I actually know remarkably little about the plot itself or where the characters fit into it. I am not entirely certain if the main character is supposed to be Will or Tessa. I think it's set in like Victorian London or something so I fear whatever level of historical accuracy was attempted. Not the nitpicky stuff that people always care about (the corsets!!) but more the society, politics and public opinions of that era reflected in the Shadowhunter world.

As for ships, I generally care very little about any kind of romance in books so I find it hard to give a singular fuck about ships from a book I have not read. I know there's the triangle, obviously, but otherwise I'm only vaguely aware of what other characters are even present, much less who they have chemistry with.

In conclusion, I have not read it and know fuck-all about it. Supposedly it's good.

Lord Voldemort, though he'd rather prefer not to acknowledge it, also has a past. He usually doesn't bother remembering. The one time he does, he loses control of things rather quickly.

He'd once had all the opportunities in the world. Within a week, he'd lost all of them and some more.

As a week stretches into months, he begins losing again.

no actually I'm not done because this mf brought up the topic and then got upset when we started talking about it I'm sorry if you don't want me to talk to you about something maybe don't bring it up?? If you don't want me to talk about the pink elephant maybe don't point out the pink elephant to me??

You can't walk up to me and say "hey have you seen what this guy's done??" and then go upset when I tell you at length what I think about what the guy has done
