Song W. Eretson

I write fantasy romance, I draw my characters, I talk about writing and stories. Occasionally sexy stuff. You can read Callatis Chronicles for free on my Ko-fi page.

What if I... came back to the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons Superhero AU fanfic that I haven't updated in almost 10 years?

It's been a long time. And I've changed a LOT since I first started writing this story. But it's never left me alone. So, why not?

If you're new, Stormfly is a superhero AU where Astrid joins the Big 4 team, just as Pitch frees their worst enemies from prison, and fuels a hate campaign against them.

Ships are Hiccstrid, Jackunzel, and Mereta (MeridaxEret)

[songweretson]

I've been nervously anticipating the live action Eret casting announcement... But it still brought out the feral fangirl in me WAY more than I expected 😅

The only old art I have of him that's still good enough to post is from my old Dragon Trapper AU that I never actually wrote, where Merida stows away on his ship and becomes a trapper.

In some ways, I think these are some of the best illustrations I've ever done, and I'm still very proud of them 🥲

[songweretson]

Since someone asked in the tags: The ship name is Meret or Mereta. I have some other art I did that I can post, and while I never wrote the Dragon Trapper AU, I did write other fanfics about and featuring them. (I recently came back to my old Superhero AU fic, where Eret is currently helping the team rescue her from Pitch and Viggo... Just saying. ☺️)

Grandmas were so right about puzzles and knitting and crocheting and solitaire and reading slow and slippers and baking and watching deer in the backyard send post

Healing is watched Wicked and realizing that "I'm Not That Girl" doesn't hurt anymore.

People talk about how DreamWorks villains are on another level... But I only just realized tonight that they literally include cosmic being representing fear (Pitch Black), chaos (Eris), and death (Death).

It's not a lot... But it is weird that it happened three times.

people love to find progressive ways to say we should all be arranged into separate groups and try our hardest to not relate to one another

[confessionsdiaz]

*through gritted teeth* the world is GOOD. people are kind. Humans are NOT inheritly selfish. you will make it through this year. recovery is possible. people you don't know yet will love you. You are going to do things you can't even imagine right now. You are going to read a rlly good book. You are going to eat some rlly good food. You are going to experience joy again. Things can get better. Situations can change. You can choose to be kinder. The world can change for the better.

Ok, loves, so we've all got the message that joking about suicide is bad for your mental health. Now we need to get on "joking that the planet/all of humanity has no future" is bad for societal health/encouraging resistance to bad shit."

[screampotato]

I never thought I'd have to say this, but climate change is... not actually as bad as people are saying it is. That's not because it's got any less bad, it's because people have become so immoderate in their hyperbole that young people are growing up thinking the world will literally end during their lifetimes.

It's not the End Times. It's not Armageddon, it's not Ragnarök, it's not the Heat Death of the Universe. It's climate change. We need to slow it, stop it, and eventually find ways to reverse it. It's the biggest single challenge our species has ever faced, needing cooperation and problem solving on a global scale - which we *are doing*. Not perfectly or smoothly or linearly, but how could we expect that? Figuring this out will be our crowning achievement as a species, it was never going to be easy!

But it's not going to end us. Humans will still be here in 1000 years, still humaning. The world will have changed a lot, for all sorts of reasons, but the sun will still rise and set. People will still be drinking cold beer and eating warm bread fresh from the oven, babies will still be gripping people's fingers with their tiny hands, people will be singing songs around campfires as the sun sets.

I live in a place that has been ravaged over millions of years by rising and falling sea levels, ice sheets, supervolcanoes - these hills look like they've always been here, but they are the ruins of previous aeons. They're covered in scars. That's what the world is. It dies, it's born, it goes on.

This is NOT the end.

Not everything that makes you uncomfortable is actually causing you harm

[alphagodith]

and not everything that causes you harm will be unpleasant at the time

Are you kidding?? I’d like be to see that story continued! I go back to it on occasion to reread it!

[songweretson]

Good news, then! A new chapter is up, and I'm working on the next one. ❤️

Mira and Zoey meeting Jinu’s tiger for the first time~ 🥰

It's really fucked up when you treat characters like people and people like characters.

[leupagus]

No seriously it's REALLY fucked up when you treat characters as if they were real live people while you treat people like they're just characters.

[leupagus]

I'm gonna go ahead and repeat: it is super, duper, extra scooper fucked up when you treat a character as if it were a living person while treating other human beings who are interacting with you like they are merely characters who can be written out of your personal story if you just find a remark mean enough.

[leupagus]

You. You get it.

ETA wait why does this have 18k notes

[lancrewizzard]

Can’t properly explain it, but “I like this character”, “I like how this character is written” and “I care about this character” are 3 very different things which may or may not overlap.

I find it hilarious that I only knew 4 and literally all 4 of them I only knew because they have had MASSIVE outcry for doing absolutely horrendous reprehensible shit

[songweretson]

I know of 9 of them - and almost all because of controversies. I have watched people talk about them. But never actually watched them.

[tenyai]

Cutey cutey romantic moment because I need the serotonin. And a hands insert shot because I apparently hate myself.
