What do you think of the theory that sansa might disguise herself as a septa to leave the vale?

The faith is very attached to her character,with alayne having the backstory of being a septa in training do you see it being important?

I feel like it has already been important throughout her Vale chapters. Petyr asks her to memorize some quotes from sacred texts to avoid too many questions and then Sansa just… doesn’t. She is subjected to too many questions and scrutiny and we don’t see her quote a single text or even bring up her faith upbringing. Plus how she acts throughout the Vale is not very Septa-In-Training-Since-Birth of her.

I think it’s a point of direction for the reader to notice that someone else might be noticing that Alayne is not who she claims she is & that her actions don’t fit in with her background story. The Royces seem to have caught up on that, at least in the way they act and considering that they looking to depose LF swiftly and vehemently, they even have the motivation to.

I mean Myranda is constantly bringing up sexual innuendo with a girl she is to believe will be pious and uptight and this -

“There’s a new High Septon, did you know? Oh, and the Night’s Watch has a boy commander, some bastard son of Eddard Stark’s.”

“Jon Snow?” she blurted out, surprised.

“Snow? Yes, it would be Snow, I suppose.”

AFFC, Alayne II

Apart from Sansa being reminded of the one brother that is conveniently and consistently absent from her narrative, it also serves as a gotcha for Myranda and the reader. Why does Alayne Stone, a bastard trained with the faith in the Vale, know about Eddard Stark’s bastard son’s name, or more even, why is she concerned with him rather than a new high septon being appointed? Because she’s not Alayne Stone, she’s Sansa Stark. And suspicions confirmed for the Royces that she’s a Stark and for us, that the Royces know that she’s a Stark.

Which leads on to the theory that the Royces are going to be instrumental in getting Sansa out of the vale and into White Harbour at least.

There might be a question of her red hair peeking from under the dyed brown ones and Septas do veil sometimes (Cersei describes Septa Moelle’s white hair so I’m guessing that a full head veil or veiling even for devout women is uncommon in Westeros but not unseen of?) so that saves her from scrutiny. But even if she dresses up as a Septa, that might still spark interest up north, since those are not the gods they subscribe to. And I’m sure Sansa would take care to dye her fast-growing hair brown before an important tourney. So the peeking red hair might be an issue when Sansa is North, in deep Bolton territory, which might urge her away from Winterfell and Dreadfort and Hornwood and squish her right between those territories, right next to the long lake and that would prove the girl in grey theo- *gunshots*

It's loving nanami hours and I have come to ask you a very important question 🤔 Do you think he's the type of husband to like hearing about your day while you're cockwarming him?

Hehee just like...imagine he's had a tiring day at work and he wants to feel close to you and maybe find a little relief nestled deep inside you, but first he wants you to tell him about your day and what you did while he was gone. And he listens INTENTLY too, eyes locked on your cute face, only chuckling a bit when you squirm on his cock and try not to get distracted while you speak

- ivy

okay, waittt i’ve actually thought about this before sdjkdkakzkfa IVYYYY OHH I STOPPED READING MY MANHWA FOR THIS!!!

i think nanami is super confused about cockwarming when you first mention it to him. because in his mind… if he’s gonna be inside of you, he wants to fuck you. not just for his own pleasure, but the idea of simply sitting there with him pulsing, you dripping, and nothing’s being done about it… he’s perplexed. but he’s definitely not opposed when you sweetly encourage him to just try it. for you, he’d try almost anything at least once within reason.

so when it happens and he experience that different level of intimacy first hand, he needs it. all. the. time.

SO YESSSSS HE WOULDDDD BE THAT KIND OF HUSBAND AND HE IS PROUD OF IT!!!!

i think it would be almost everyday, too. he comes home and you greet him with smiles and kisses. he’d have his face buried in your neck and just mumbles “wanna be close” and that’s all you need to hear. you’d probably try asking him a little about work while you take off your panties, but he’d simply say “let me feel you first, honey. please.”

OHHH AND IT IS SO INTIMATEEEE. sometimes he wants you laying your head on his shoulder so you’re chest to chest and he can feel the beat of your heart and the rumble of your voice as you ramble. sometimes he needs to see your pretty face and the expressions you make.

BUT NO MATTER WHATTT, i am so with you ivy bae, he is LISTENING!!! no matter how tired or stressed, he’s listening. not only because he asked in the first place, but he sincerely cares and is always interested in all the things that make you his perfect girl. doesn’t matter what the outside world has inflicted upon him when he’s being healed inside the perfect home that is you. you’re his home, not a house or an apartment. just you.

i just know he’s giving you sincere responses, but at someeee point, the way you feel and your beauty is too much. so he’ll kiss your nose first, then your lips. next thing you know, he thrusting upwards just the slightest bit. and when you deepen the kiss, he’s already one step ahead of you in making sure you have exactly what you’ve been waiting so patiently for

(this is genuinely a compliment, please don't change your name writing style)

I love the way you write Sukuna in some of these fics- its almost like he's never heard of a full sentence in his life (except a few rare cases ☝🏾😌- NOT!!! including that one fic where he puts YN in the glass box for his trafficking schems)

Like everyone else will be talking regularly, and then here comes the mfker with the personality of a sentient clipboard with a serial killing problem

thank you for starting your message like that because I am, as my friends say, composed of chaos and extreme anxiety despite looking like i'm all cool and chill (this is me lying to myself) I am like this every single moment of the day:

ALSO LMAO I SWEAR TO FUCKNG GOD HE-

STRESSED SCREAMS

Whenever I have the chance to complain I WILL and you just handed me the chance, this man. This motherfucker. HE DOES NOT SPEAK. I mean he speaks when he wants to make our girl flustered or angry or idek, horny?? but on a daily basis? one word. A GRUNT if he can. sometimes a fucking look. Sukuna is economic in everything, just like Toji, when I write him. They are fucking MUTE it stresses me out so much. In my head, on most of the things I write, they have a very fucked up past/overall background so there are a few ways of coping with a shitty childhood, trauma and such. I see people portraying him as aggressive, lustful, loud, sometimes god forbid me to see again - even dumbed down, but in my little head I take him as someone just reserved, like, if he can avoid socializing, he will. If he can avoid talking, interacting, he also will. Not because he's nervous, (although sukuna being unable to talk due to severe anxiety and being perceived as arrogant yum) just because it rarely brought anything good when it came to his own experiences. maybe he's a little misanthrope on top of being his hedonistic self, so he indulges only in the things he seems as worthy, a hobby, a career, an objective. I don't know if I'm making sense but now you are stuck here with me and I swallowed the key so take a seat we are doing this. I do think of Sukuna in modern settings as being neurodivergent, there are infinite aspects, infinite tells, senses, specters he can swim around without fully diving in, and one of them is how direct he can be, how he doesn't care for performance, only intent and objective, how analytic he is of everything that surrounds him, how he talks only when he thinks it's worth saying something/losing his breath, otherwise a glance will do. I adore to explore stuff like that when writing him (now it's the moment you find out Readers in my pieces are not self inserted, Sukuna is my self insert, the perfect puppet to canalize all my autism) and at the same time it's so damn infuriating. How can I make an interesting, heartfelt scene with this gremlin of a man if our girl pours out her heart into his cupping hands and all he can say is "I know" like? are you FOR REAL? But he compensates in the ways he act and treats the ones he love.

And upon writing this walltext I realize that I act like the characters have a will of their own and I just happen to be the vessel chosen to bring their little shenanigans into the light, so I'd like to say that this is the case, 100%, it will always be the case. It was the case every since I first started writing when I was 13yo, it was the case when I entered the oh so doomed life of a roleplayer, and it will be the case forever. Little silly characters will do themselves, I'll just canalize their bullshit into words, then I will place those words somewhere more people can point and say "ah, yes, dumbasses"

this is always so fucking funny come in Masha and Nina-

[meremythos]

What about deliciously Toxic Dorlene with punk butch Marlene always crawling back to her spoiled ‘princess’ femme Dorcas,, they’ve broken up ten times but were they really ever together? Still they’d tear down the world for one another, or perhaps if the other dared to touch somebody else

What about Obsessive Pandalily with fiercely protective Lily chasing an oblivious Unhinged Pandora,, Lily indulges Pandora’s slightly mad magical quests mostly to keep her safe, but it might be due to the fact that she fell harshly in love at first crystal: “For luck with your studies” “Oh, er- thank you.. Pandora is it?”

What about Pining Emmary with a quiet haunting Emmeline and confident popular Mary, always just missing the other’s wanting gaze whenever in similar proximity,, Mary smiling down as she dances on the table, Emmeline gaping from a quiet corner,, both girls thinking the other is too far out of reach between their opposite worlds

— lets be friends just a little longer this time. even as the wind blows, we advance, on this sand planet.

my thought process behind this one was the short snippet of his character story where it mentions how he led a group of people on a wild goose chase for resources on his home planet (sigonia) that were never there to begin with, heavily implying that he led them to their death. i like the idea of a young, freshly escaped kakavasha, too traumatized to keep himself from the tempting idea of revenge.

i absolutely don't see him as a vengeful type of character, and i do see this as sort of a one-off thing for him. i think it being out of character for him is just a testament to the way the traumas of what he went through really messed with his head. you don't come out of that type of thing with the ability to think straight, even if he seemed completely with it when negotiating his fate in court with the IPC. it was probably very jarring for him to at least be allowed to "lower" his survival mode, and i don't think all of his choices made around that time would be something he's proud of.

i think sometimes it's okay to mess with the idea of his character being messy, unstable (cough the textbook borderline personality disorder cough) and lacking the control that his facade lets on. i truly think that saying he went through everything he did and was somehow calculated through it all is just a disservice to his character, it does pretty explicitly say that luck was on his side a lot and i'm sure there are plenty of moments where that luck shocked even himself.

anyway, i don't think it's exactly implied that aventurine went on this trip to sigonia himself, nor do i think it's canon, but i certainly like to mess with the idea of it. returning to the place where he once had the bare minimum but it felt like the world, in his new position as part of a powerful organization and his "rags to riches" moment that leaves him feeling emptier than he ever felt with almost nothing at all.

so yeah, sand planet mv redraws of aventurine. :-)

Hello there my sunshiney friend!! As the topic of weddings is fresh in your mind, I would love to know any headcanons you have surrounding an Elucien wedding (and/or mating ceremony) ❤️

Hello my love! Yes, weddings are quite fresh on my mind as of late (not mine lmao, I’m a single Pringle)

Okay for their wedding!!! Ahh!

Flowers in Elain’s hair!

An outdoor gathering in the height of spring with live flowers everywhere

The wedding dress has muted accents of different pastel shades or even ivy in the skirt

Once again, flowers everywhere

Lucien wearing auburn and gold and green

I can also see him wearing a flower somewhere, like maybe a sunflower behind his ear or lilies threaded through braids

Give me the whimsies fucking wedding/ mating ceremony. They’d either have one for both or one of each. Regardless, Elain is walking down an isle and Lucien will be crying. Also when they are proceeding together after, I can see flower petals being thrown!!

I think I saw once that Vaugarde used to be a monarchy and I absolutely cannot remember if it has Actual Canon but at this point I think it's pretty much full headcanon for me that

it used to be a monarchy

the Island used to have a mutually beneficial relationship with Vaugarde that was. pretty literally. using wishes as part of the trade. how they got Favor Trees etc but also BIG things like carefully crafted wishes for protection or good farming seasons and such. some little traditions spread beyond Vaugarde just as a spread of knowledge. but the primary beneficiary of wish trade was Vaugarde, which in turn protected the Island (and again the Island would have been crafting the Wishes so a lot of the Big Ones were probably benefiting the island as well/already meant for the Island but extended to Vaugarde as well)

the Island was not closed off from the world, but it was already remote just by location and yes, a little secretive. It was common knowledge that the Vaugardian monarchy were trade partners with the Island, but also just pinning down the material goods being traded, it seemed a bit lopsided in the Island's favor. There was acknowledgment of "knowledge" being exchanged both ways and yes, the Vaugardian layperson could probably find some examples, but the wish trading was not exactly being disclosed as 'yeah, this is the big thing the Islanders give'. Despite this, 'wizards' start coming up as a fictional concept based on Islanders visiting the capital--they dress strangely, appear rarely but are treated as important when they do, sometimes it seems their words portend miraculous events...

the monarchy eventually falls out of favor with Vaugarde as a whole. The Island withdraws support from the monarchy as the wish requests turn cruel and vindictive. A petty enough monarch might have made an attempt at retaliation, but they're facing enough pressure at home without opening another front--especially to an enemy who has a real chance of deciding you should be demolished and having their higher power agree.

as the monarchy fails, knowledge about the Wish trade starts to leak out, either from found documents or people trying to save their standing by bartering with knowledge.

this starts years of tension between the Island, Vaugarde, and maybe even countries beyond Vaugarde as details both get out and don't, rumors form about what was the Island's work and wasn't, etc., the Island being seen more and more as a mysterious threat until eventually...

Island crafts a spell to be forgotten so its people can live in safe obscurity. Unfortunately not everyone was on the island at the time. This may have been made as a rushed decision in reaction to a nearby country's threat, or it may have been long planned in complete secrecy even to the main population with the cold calculation that some would have to be sacrificed for the Island's safety.

Somewhere along the way the 'rebel movement' that helped overthrow the monarchy changed so much it becomes the present day Defenders. (The name may even be the same! How the group operates, definitely not.)
