I really wish there was a fandom for the Cloverleah Pack series. It certainly deserves it.
I mean come on, it has just the right balance of found family, hilarious campy bullshit, some pretty juicy lore, drama of all kinds, tooth achingly sweet romantic moments, and really hot sex (almost too much sex tbh. As much as I enjoy a good sex scene, I tend to skip them after my first read through)
Holy fucking hell, The Saga of the Nothing Mage is depressing.
I can’t decide if I love the series or never want to touch it again. The world itself is brilliant and I’d love to delve deeper into it, but to be honest, if I knew the plot would be that dark I don’t think I would have picked it up.

where are the fantasy/scifi races who hibernate?
i can lose hours thinking about such a culture. the rituality and cyclicality of it. how they turn a simple, survivalist drive into story after story. how they build their lives to be abandoned for a while every year.
underground, beneath every house, hospital, and community center, is a chamber nobody enters - except for a certain week at the end of autumn. it’s a week of chores and feasting. and in the evenings, families begin to clean out these dim, quiet rooms, making sure to tell their children why this is all so important.
people stop going to work. they bed down their gardens and let their fields lie fallow. the stores pack away their merchandise. the boats are hauled out of the water. maybe the power grid and the internet shut down.
everybody covers their furniture in sheets. white, for the clean snow where no feet ever step? or maybe black, for the safe darkness below? they burn strong-smelling plants in their houses to ward off pests, and they hang amulets on the doorknobs - because just think how many monsters and demons were born in their culture to wreak havoc on a winter house.
or on a hibernating body, and the tetherless soul inside it.
so they must be very careful, as they cross over. they eat the correct last meal and sing the correct last songs. they wash themselves clean in freshwater and exchange their living clothes for wrappings, like a chrysalis or a shroud. they cover their eyes with jewelry, so no unwanted visitor can slip inside that way.
i’m not sure what the underground room looks like on the inside. they might cover the floor with pillows for comfort, or dried flowers for significance - or they might lay on the bare ground, as they have always done. they might carve pictures into the walls. they might take their valuables down with them, or they might simply leave all that stuff in a box upstairs. after all, thieves have to give themselves to the ground too.
you light a lamp, and keep it lit until everyone’s safely asleep. then it burns out on its own. the door is closed. it’s as dark as the inside of the earth.
above, the weather and the animals pass through ghost towns.
and when the thaw begins, when the first plants wake up and the cracking of ice shakes the waterways, the people come out. they chase the dust and ghosts from their cities with noise - anyone who can’t play an instrument bangs on a cooking pot. they run up and down the streets, arms extended to the sun. (the sun!) they wash the sheets that they’d used to cover their houses and hang them out to dry on every clothesline, until it looks like the buildings have grown wings.
because this isn’t waking up, this is rebirth.
So...Eater of Bones (SPECTR 3.4)...nlg, I was hoping for more Tiffany Ward and less John/Caleb/Gray angst.
That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy this installment of the series (the scene where Caleb gave Tiffany his painting was fucking adorable). Overall, the book just felt a bit, I don’t know, flat. But that might just be because it was relatively short.
I’m also starting to get very suspicious of Ryan Starkweather. Something about his attitude towards this whole mess with John just sets me on edge. And Tiffany’s jab about John trusting the wrong people feels like foreshadowing. I swear, there’s something off about that guy.
The last scene gives me hope that things are going to be heating up soon though. I can’t wait.
So..Blood has been used as an architectural material since ancient times. I’m saddened that this is never covered in movies or historical fantasy tv shows. What a missed opportunity. Other places to see my posts: INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / ETSY / KICKSTARTER
this definitely seems like cursed knowledge but you know what I’m gonna share it anyway because ***writing insp***
Headcanon that there are four locked bedrooms in Caleb’s new mansion: one each for Molly, Essek, Astrid, and Eodwulf.
There’s also a room at the top that’s just a giant pillow nest with Caleb’s Programmed Image playing on repeat

I think it’s weird that there’s metallic Dragons based on Alloys
Like, if you put tin/zinc on a copper dragon and cast fireball on it, does it turn into a bronze/brass dragon?
No, y'see
When a tin or zinc dragon and a copper dragon love each other very much…
That’s what I would have said as well, if there was such a thing as tin or zinc Dragons
Just because something hasn’t been documented, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Play a character who is seeking creatures that haven’t yet been discovered.
Also what kinda dragon would have thermite as a breath weapon? Asking for a friend
New homebrew project: create a dragon for every metallic element and every major alloy
Or, to be even more ridiculous, make some non-metallic element dragons as well. …after all, when a carbon dragon and an iron dragon love each other very much, a steel dragon is born!
…Lithium dragons fizz in water…
Uranium dragons are a sight to behold, but volatile and violent. Even if you think you escape with your life, you might retain less of it than you initially think. They eventually kill everything near their lair, causing them to migrate to a new spot, leaving a lasting wasteland in their wake.
Iron dragons, while similarly violent, are a lot less ill-tempered. They revel in war, and nothing gets their blood flowing like getting someone else’s blood flowing. Smart generals coax them into joining their ranks as living siege machines.
We don’t talk about helium dragons.
Personally, I can’t speak highly enough about helium dragons
This is brilliant nonsense
Hydrogen dragons are small, but they’ll mate with damn near everything. You’ll want to avoid their offspring with any of the alkaline dragons, though. Those things are insanely volatile.
Liking for all of this, reblogging for the helium voice joke
Samarium dragons are below average fire breathers but with their inherently high temperature magnetic nature they are able to focus their fire breath in to a beam of plasma of incredible strength.
They do not horde metallic objects (gold, silver) that would interfere with the exercising of their true power of magnetic control.
Any attackers’ metallic weapons can be melted at the slightest whim of a Samarum dragon and their intense magnetic fields cause magics to deflect randomly.
Good Samarium
we were discussing wills and inheritances in the breakroom today and one of the boys brought up that he heard if you hate someone in your family, you’re supposed to leave them something, literally anything, even if it’s just like 1 penny, so that they can’t sue and say you just forgot them, and one of the other boys said why wouldn’t you just say like “I specifically do not leave anything to this person” and one of the girls piped up “No, leave them 1 penny, it’s a bigger fuck you” and then she paused and goes “No wait, tell them that you leave them everything in the box you’ve buried in the woods and they have to go find it and dig it up and then they can have everything in it, but it’s just 1 penny” and because I am a writer, and thinking up wild things to have happen is part of the writing job description, I (without looking up from my computer where I was currently writing a story) said “or a bomb. I mean, you hate them right” and i looked up and everyone was looking at me and the girl (who FYI is a horror movie enthusiast and I had figured on appreciating the joke) goes “well. I mean, what are they going to do, arrest me? I’m dead.” and I wish I could bottle the looks on the boys’ faces.

We need HOAs or some idiots will paint their house purple or put tractor tires in their front yard. If you want tractor tires, don’t move to a HOA neighborhood.
I couldn’t even fathom how horrifying it must be to live somewhere there are...purple houses and and yucky stuff in people’s yards. Thank God I don’t have any real problems like that.
listen my Nonna and Nonno live right by a purple house (it’s a nice lilac) and as a kid I was fucking obsessed with it because purple is my favorite color. I’d go nuts whenever we passed by it. Also it had a purple mailbox to match and it blew my mind.
No more HOAs. More purple houses.
imagine trying to control what someone else can do with or on their own property just because you don't agree with their taste in decor
NO MORE HOAs MORE PURPLE HOUSES
Related, becuase I just had to move: “just don’t move into an HOA” Do you know what a PAIN IN THE ASS it is to find NON-HOA Housing? Very nearly everything in the CO front range that isn’t a rental has an HOA these days!
Short list of the Shit the HOA at my pervious house tried to pull:
Banning personal and community food gardens (The reason the tag for my garden is “The garden of earthly HOA violations”)
Banning people from using thier personal yards as Native Plant Restoration microzones, something that looks gorgeous and is extremely helpful to the local ecology
trying to get the city council to remove protections on adjacent city Open Space/Native Plant restoration zone so they could mow it.
mandating the use of ONE landscaping company in the neighborhood, coinicdentally owned by the HOA president’s son
Mandating the use of an unecessary water purification company on all properties.
suing city animal control for collecting lose dogs and cats and returning them to the addresses on thier collars. You know. that thing animal control does so the animals don’t get run over or disemboweled by the coyotes or catch and spread rabies. The thing that’s illegal to let your pet do out here for those reasons Karen.
Suing the city council to remove a city bus stop in the neighborhood that was heavily used by many residents. They damn near got away with it becuase the HOA meetings were always in the middle of the day on a weekday. You know, when the residents that use that stop are working.
Sending people letters threatening to fine them for having “Out Of Season” holiday decor. Specifically targeting my Indian neighbors who were celebrating Diwali, not Christmas and the Jews with visible Menorahs.
Fining people for doing thier own appliance and car repair on thier own personal property
Fining people for operating a business out of thier house, specifically targeting a disabled neighbor that does comission tailoring and garment repair out of her home. never bothered a soul except the one snoopy bitch who didn’t like that her clients were allowed to park in the tailor’s designated and otherwise unused parking space.
Trying to fine a neighbor for flying a Pride Flag
HOAs are invasive, bigoted, corrupt and cruel institutions that should never have been allowed to be created. If you live in and HOA area, showing up at the meetings to tell people what the fuck is wrong with them, Joining your HOA board to protect your neighbors and possibly organize the dissolution of the HOA is one of the best things you can do to protect the marginalized members of your community.
FUCK HOAs AND LONG LIVE THE PURPLE HOUSES AND TRACTOR-TIRE GARDENS OF THE WORLD.
Are y'all telling me this shit is actually LEGAL?
Here’s how to get an HOA to leave you and your purple house tf alone
I'm....
[Image description: A screenshot of a post that reads "I take baths with my cat by letting her float in a plastic box. I keep the box in my closet. I only started doing this about a month ago, but now when I turn the bathwater on she runs to the closet and jumps in her box."
Below the post is a photo with the caption "This weirdo yells until I let her join me in the bathtub". The accompanying photo is of a white and grey cat chilling in a clear plastic tub that is floating in bubbly bath water. The cat is looking wided, and very cutely, towards the camera.
