Sometimes it sucks having a fave character that other in the fandom like to use as a stress ball, the villain or just Going Through It With No End In Sight.

Like yeah, i’ll have some angst in their fic too but if its ONLY angst? No resolution, overcoming, escaping, anything possible all the time, I want to jump sh-actually I want to push them off this boat.

I cant tell how I got here sometimes.

In another part of the interview, she delved a bit more into how her fashion choices were controlled and influenced by her position in the Royal Family.

She revealed: "It was different several years ago when I couldn't be as vocal and I had to wear nude pantyhose (tights) all the time. Let's be honest, that was not very myself. "I hadn't seen pantyhose since movies in the 80s when they came in the little egg. That felt a little bit inauthentic. And that's a silly example.

"But it is an example of when you're able to dress the way you want to dress and you are able to say the things you want to say that are true and be able to show up in a space that is really organically and authentically, that's being comfortable in your own skin.

The Accidental Warlord and His Pack Series by inexplicifics; The Witcher Fanfiction, AO3

Summary: From the kinkmeme: AU Warlord!Geralt receives Tribute!Jaskier as a sacrifice to appease him in every way possible. Jaskier has no choice on the matter and he’s fully aware of the awful rumours that have spread about Geralt and his ruthless conquests. (But we all know those aren’t legit.) A classic angst with a happy ending please! A dash of smut to heal those scars and a sprinkle of new found love!

The Accidental Warlord and His Pack Podcast by AceOfTigers, The Witcher Podcast, AO3

 I found this series two weeks ago and have dived in. I’m a casual Witcher fan but there are some fics that get my attention and this one has not let me go. 

 Like at all.

It was bookmarked in one of my fave fanfic writers on her ao3 account and I thought this sounded interesting.  I had time and was in a Witcher mood. I finished the first fic and just ended up going  “OMG. Like, what.Did.I.Just. Read? Is There MORE??”  

I Got VERY lucky, because there was.

@inexplicifics​ has written a very unique and vivrant Alternate Universe, that after some thought I am now considering as one of the Best Versions of that Universe. The Witchers have a chance to be more thatn hated boogymen and the people under their protection/control have protectors whom honestly do their best to care for them. The Nobility, of course, disagrees but some monsters are human shape and Witchers hunt monsters.

Now, normally I’d do post these separate but to much effort especially since I made a banner for each story and also have a Podcast Version made specifically for AceOfTigers. I was ambitious and underestimated how much effort and time it would take.

Sorry for the long post but I decided to post them all together than all 9 individually.  So I’m kinda planning to continue to make art for each new story that comes up as it comes and I read it.  

Please give this series a try!!!

I pre-ordered the Phantom Thief thing for Royal. Ya’ll want me to take pictures of the goodies? Sans the artbook because I call it a taboo to look at an artbook prior to finishing a game. 

I mostly wanted the Joker Mask.

The Duke of Sussex says he wants "reconciliation" with the rest of the Royal Family, in an emotional interview, in which he said he was "devastated" about losing a legal challenge over his security in the UK.

At present Prince Harry said he was cut off from his father King Charles, in a BBC News interview in California.

"He won't speak to me because of this security stuff," the prince said, adding he didn't know how long the King had left to live.

Prince Harry spoke to the BBC in the aftermath of losing an appeal over the levels of security he and his family are entitled to while in the UK.

"There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family," he said, but had now "forgiven" them.

The prince had wanted to overturn changes to his security that were introduced when he stepped down as a working royal and moved to the United States.

Saying that he felt "let down" and looking upset, he described his court defeat as a "good old fashioned establishment stitch up" and blamed the Royal Household for influencing the decision to reduce his security.

Asked whether he had asked his father the King to intervene in the dispute over security, Prince Harry said: "I never asked him to intervene - I asked him to step out of the way and let the experts do their jobs."

The prince said his treatment during the process of deciding his security had "uncovered my worst fears".

His court defeat, and the prospect of his security arrangements remaining unchanged, meant that he would unwilling to bring his family to the UK, he told the BBC.

"I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point," he said.

[thewomenofwindsor]

How gross of him to insinuate about Charles' health whilst in another breath speaking about how much you don't talk anymore.

Pathetic
