Triss Merigold for character bingo

my friend's favorite, the blorbo by proxy - @essskel your girl :^)

the fandom is so mean nice smh - most people treat her so cutely without considering any of the betrayal and cowardice, it's actually funny. i mean, more than half of this crowd is games-only/netflix-only, so that's why - they don't actually know her from the books - but even so, even book fans forget her political statements to focus on her relationship with geralt... which should be discussed, but it shouldn't end at that. geralt is really a footnote in her list of treacherous acts.

*puts them in a salad spinner* - to shake off the 'water' from her, all of the teen-like smiles and giggles, to find the truth of how afraid she is...

they didn't get bullied enough - it was so satisfying when nenneke talked some sense to her in ch 8 of lotl. i wish we had more scenes like this:

‘I feel,’ repeated Triss Merigold, ‘as though I’ve been robbed.’ Nenneke didn’t answer for a long time, and looked from the terrace towards the temple garden, where the priestesses and novices were busily engaged in their springtime work. ‘You made a choice,’ she finally said. ‘You chose your way, Triss. Your own destiny. Of your own free will. Now isn’t the time for regrets.’ ‘Nenneke,’ the sorceress lowered her eyes. ‘I really can’t say anything more than what I’ve said. Believe me and forgive me.’ ‘Who am I to forgive you? And what will you get from my forgiving you?’ ‘But I can see how you’re glaring at me!’ Triss exploded. ‘You and your priestesses. I can see you asking me questions with your eyes. Like “What are you doing here, witch? Why aren’t you where Iola, Eurneid, Katje and Myrrha are? And Jarre?”’ ‘You’re exaggerating, Triss.’

not for me but i can see the appeal - interesting character, i think she's a real 'realistic' statement of those sane ones who aren't compelled to insane acts of heroism, those who are afraid (and especially, those that feel that way specifically because they are traumatized). she's a tempering force to the heroics of geralt and yennefer. i just wouldn't call myself obsessed with her

For the fanfic ask game 📥, 🏅,📝 ,💭

Yes yes yes! ❤️

📥 What is your fave fic to receive comments/messages on?

Oi, that's an interesting one. I love of course comments on every fic, but I feel very, very, very good when "Ride Into Obsession" still get's a comment after all that time.

🏅 What is something you recently felt proud of in regard to your writing (finished a fic, actually planned for once, etc).

I actually felt a bit proud to finish "All the King's Horses". It's a fic I didn't like very much while I wrote it and I only found the strength to finish it because there were still fans you really liked this one so much. Some people stayed over months and patiently waited for every chapter, and I'm very grateful for it.

📝 What is one growth area you have for your writing?

Feelings. Can't do feelings.

💭What is a headcanon you have about your own work?

I headcanon people out there having "Ride Into Obsession" in their bookmarks and reading it over and over again. Oh, you mean for the characters? Those fics are all my very own headcanon. Basically, they're all about two people with difficult pasts, who had believed that they did not deserve love – only to be taught better one day.

Thank you so much, this was fun! :)

jawanaka replied to your post: Azula

Indeed. While my love for the character is mainly based on my love for (justifiably?) arrogant, moderately evil know-it-alls it is strange how many people will write off a 14 year old as inherently evil. I would love some proper conclusion. With Ursa

Exactly. I think there's some underlying reasons for why she is the way she is. Yes, she ultimately went a bit insane at the end, and desperately needs to go to whatever asylum she went to, but that's why I feel sorry for her.

When someone goes insane, there's a reason. I personally think it was building up anyway, and then Mai and Ty Lee's betrayal broke the ice.

jawanaka answered your question: Alrighty my followers, let's get speculating.

Ship wars. Sweet, fresh, delicious ship wars

Oh, yes, the infamous shipping wars. I was smart enough to stay out of the heat of it for ATLA, though I was a flaming Kataang and Tokka supporter. (Still am, lolololol).

This time, though, there are already well defined fansites and then DeviantArt AND Tumblr. I'm actually quite ready to jump in on the shipping debates so long as they remain civil.
