Hi @yesistolethisurl! I was your @secret-st-waidwen-exchange! This ended up being a really big picture and I'm not good at getting things to look clear in tumblr.. but I hope you like it!

neutral evil essek time loop? 👀

things that I love:

time loops

repeatedly killing my favorite characters/generally making them miserable

forcing characters to contend with the consequences of their own actions in the most visceral ways possible

nasty manipulative schemers

so that's where this fic comes in. I learned about essek's alignment originally being neutral evil and the idea that he could easily have been an opponent of the mighty nein rather than an ally, and went 'oooooh.'

for a while it moved very slowly. this was the original reason I started my cr2 rewatch back...however long it's been. however recently due to my brain latching onto essek like this meme:

it majorly accelerated and now there are almost 30k of it (and also a 30k spinoff) and...yeah. having so much fun writing an essek who is very not nice and also really going through it. repeatedly. I've killed him eight times so far and I'm not done, I've got at least...two more? in me for sure. seriously, the joy here is the blend of wet cat energy and, like. terrible person trying to scheme his way out of a corner. I've described this one as "time looping your way into a new moral alignment" and like...yeah, pretty much. he's getting there! sort of.

They left the goblin behind and went to slay giants. This time they came back without the half-orc. Essek insinuated (indirectly, via a casual word to a colleague as if simply musing aloud) that this might be a ploy, and their story about another portal to the Abyss a misdirect. It was one such portal that brought them to Rosohna to begin with, was it not? Who was to say they didn't place that one in Asarius to begin with, to gain entry? Suspicions, doubts. Outsiders were always suspect in the Dynasty. He raised questions about the humans, their origins, their backgrounds. He noted casually that there was a centralized system that trained wizards within the Empire, and that system was at least rumored to have specialized arcane assassins. Absurd, of course, to think that one would return one of the Beacons that the Empire coveted so much…but it was one of the Beacons, and who could say how the plots of the Empire might run? Might King Dwendal think it worthwhile to surrender part of his plunder, to have an agent so near the center of Dynasty power? Perhaps, perhaps. The Queen told them to stay away from the Overcrow Apothecary, that her own agents would handle the matter, and Essek's heart leapt, because — as he knew they would, he knew something of these idiots by now — the Mighty Nein went anyway. There was blood in the streets, corpses that included some of the Aurora Guard, and the mercenaries fled the city. Essek was very pleased to put the writ to paper rescinding the Bright Queen's protection and demanding that the group known as the Mighty Nein return to Rosohna immediately. That they would be brought by force if not willingly.

Bread and Butters

Dragon Age Kiss Week - Day 5: Battlefield

Pre-game Rooks, coz we all happened to have Veil Jumpers

Casey belongs to @yesistolethisurl and I borrowed Ellie from @mistressandry too!

She senses she's got a patient before she's actually shouted for. The commotion as a party returns to camp, the clamouring to get a look at them, the elders waving everyone off and telling them to go back to what they were doing and stop rubbernecking. Strife's voice cuts through the din, shouting over to Casey so she can jump to action.

As Strife approaches her medic's area, Casey spots who's behind him; a pair of dwarves Casey recognises as Branwen and Ellie, with the latter helping the former walk. Both look battle-worn, but Branwen is clearly the one who needs her attention first. Casey is quickly becoming familiar with these two. "Let me guess: sentinels, again?"

The pair nod sheepishly. They're used to this dance now, and so Ellie helps get Branwen over to the cot nearby. "In our defence, they were dormant."

Strife rolls his eyes. "Yes, until you broke the artefact they were protecting."

"Accidentally!" They say in unison.

"It's not our fault it fell off and smashed!"

"Well, I mean you did knock into it."

"Butters! Don't betray me like this!"

"Enough!" The dwarves' mouths snap shut. Strife pinches the bridge of his nose. "This one's mostly fine, she's done something to her leg."

"And my nose," chimes Branwen. Looking at her properly, Casey can see the remnants of blood above her lip and down her chin, running into her beard. "Though I think I snapped it back into place." She scrunches her nose over and over again, testing its movement. Strife closes his eyes, and Casey can just imagine him counting to ten in his head.

After a pause he says, "I'm going to go check on everyone else. Casey, good luck."

To Casey's relief, both of her patients know the drill and are more than co-operative with her. Branwen's patch up job on her nose was better than expected, but still no replacement for actual healing, and as her bone cracked back into place Branwen inhaled a snotty, but healthy breath. "Ahhhh I'd forgotten what breathin' normal felt like."

"So you're saying your snoring is coz of the nose?"

"If mine's from a broken nose, then wha's yer excuse?"

Ellie clutches her proverbial pearls. "Me? Snore? Never. But that rasping you call breathing…Well, it can't be healthy, can it Miss Casey?"

Casey holds her hands up, "I am not getting involved," and leaves them to continue winding one another up whilst she finishes cleaning up. All clean, she goes into Healer Casey mode. "So. Your leg is fine now, but take a few days off to rest it. Ideally a week, if you can manage. I don't want to see you back in here again because you undid all my hard work, you hear me?" The dwarves nod. "And please wear a helmet. The cartilage in your nose is already wearing thin."

"I'll try," says Branwen, "but I can't promise anything. I just haven't found one that I mind bein' on me 'ead yet."

Casey shakes her head, though knows this fight isn't worth her energy. She reaches back to her worktable and retrieves a pair of small jars, handing one to each dwarf. "Here. Apply this to your wounds whilst they finish healing. It'll help with the scarring."

Branwen stashes hers in her pack and, as she's rearranging, her eyes light up. "Oh! Here! As thanks for fixin' me up." She pulls out a paper parcel and hands it to Casey. "They, err, might be a lil' squished, but they'll still taste good."

When the dwarves have left and taken their chaos with them, Casey opens the paper parcel and inspects its contents. Inside are a pair of doughy, jam-filled treats covered in powdered sugar. The famous Aldwir Halla's Kisses. And only slightly flattened.

Casey smiles to herself. These will go nicely with a hot chocolate tonight.

oh for the art thing, your favorite era of star wars!

also as a reply to the original post: @yesistolethisurl Uh, star wars maybe? I miss seeing Star wars stuff that's just plain fun

[ID: a digital drawing of bail organa and obi-wan kenobi from star wars, dancing. /end ID]

i added these two together bc my favourite star wars ship out of all of them is bail/obi and my favourite era is the rise of the empire era, which, also, this, so!! two for one and as a bonus you get actual greyscale. and dancing. and probably undercover obi-wan on some totally important diplomatic mission because i love my tropes. i hope this is appropriately fun! and i for one think ending/starting the year with drawing gay star wars dancing is very good. 

[sage-nebula]

I don't know if you've already been asked this, but what Pokemon do you think team Voltron would have on their teams and why?

I have, but I can’t find it now, so off the top of my head:

KEITH:

Pyroar — Specifically a female pyroar (as shown), to represent the Red Lion. Not only is pyroar the only actual lion the Pokémon series has to date, but it’s a fire-type, which is perfect for the Red Lion, who is considered the Guardian Spirit of Fire. Additionally, pyroar are said to “viciously threaten any challenger”, which fits with how Keith never backs down from a challenge and how the Red Lion is the most difficult to handle, and females are said to protect the pride’s cubs, which fits with the Red Lion constantly chasing after Keith whenever he’s in extreme danger.

Aegislash — Keith has an affinity for blades, which means that giving him a honedge (which he would eventually evolve into aegislash) is perfect. I chose a shiny aegislash specifically because I figure this could represent his special knife / sword—you know, the one with the mark of Marmora on it. Since shiny aegislash has a black blade, which is close to the dark steel of the Marmora blade, I felt it aesthetically fitting. Finally, aegislash’s pokédex entries state that aegislash can detect innate qualities of leadership within a person, and that “according to legend, whoever it recognizes is destined to become king”. Given that Keith is going to step up as the next co-leader of Voltron (alongside Allura), I feel it appropriate. 

Charizard — Charizard is fire/flying, which I feel represents both the element Keith is most often associated with (fire), as well as the fact that he is the best pilot of his generation (and proves it on the daily). As a species, charizard are known to seek strong opponents, but they’re also known to not (willingly) turn their flames on those weaker than themselves (according to the pokédex, at least). This fits Keith, who is always up for a challenge, yet is not violent or prone to hurting those who can’t defend themselves. Finally, I imagine that Keith could mega evolve his charizard, and if he did, I see him mega evolving him into the fire/dragon type ‘Zard X, particularly since ‘Zard X is more powerful than ‘Zard Y. (Also serves as a bit of a tribute to my favorite character of all time, whom Keith has quite a bit in common with, heh.)

Salazzle — Keith spent quite a bit of time in the desert shack (about a year), which means that it’s likely he could encounter a fire/poison pokémon like salandit (whom he would then evolve into salazzle). I find this especially likely since salazzle is inspired partly by the whiptail lizard, some of which are found in New Mexico and surrounding areas (and isn’t the Garrison in Arizona? Something like that). Either way, there’s nothing in its pokédex entries that make think it’s a good fit this time; rather, it’s that I think it’s likely that Keith could have captured a salandit while in the desert, and he was fortunate enough to get a female one that could evolve into salazzle, at that.

Talonflame — Another fire/flying, like charizard, though this one can’t mega evolve. Talonflame is a bird of prey, and more accurately is based on the peregrine falcon, which is one of the (if not the) fastest fliers in the avian kingdom, at least when it comes to diving. I’ve seen some headcanons around fandom of Keith with birds, and I agree that it’s a nice image—but only if those birds are raptors, and specifically one similar to talonflame. Thus, I could see him with a talonflame, perhaps also acquired once he left the Garrison, and this guy started hanging around.

Houndoom — Lastly, I do still see Keith as a dog person (albeit I think he would prefer bigger dogs, like shepherds and/or huskies—or maybe not even domesticated dogs at all, maybe wolves), and I think that houndoom would be a good fit therefore. Another fire-type (thus fitting with the elemental theme), but also with a dark-typing, which makes houndoom seem highly intimidating regardless of how sweet the individual is (rather like Keith himself, I feel). I also feel that houndoom could be a point to the fact that Keith is biologically part Galra, in that the fact that houndoom is a dog makes it seem approachable, but that dark-type nature makes it frightening. (As well, everyone trusted Keith, but once his heritage was revealed, certain people were suddenly wary.)

SHIRO:

Absol — Absol is not technically a cat, per se (I think that absol has both feline and canine features), but it’s the closest thing to a representative of the Black Lion that I could think of. (Well, I was at first thinking of luxray, but …) It fits in terms of both color scheme and features, even if it doesn’t fit in type. That said, when absol mega evolves it gains wings, so even though it’s not a flying-type, that aspect is still fitting, considering the Black Lion’s special power. (And hence why I chose Mega Absol as the image on the trainer card.) Finally, there’s something about the lore surrounding absol (that it is said to bring about natural disasters, when in fact it warns of them, but that people hate it for this and it has developed a reclusive and shy nature as a result) that reminds me of Shiro. I just feel it fitting.

Luxray — The original idea I had for the Black Lion’s representation due to color scheme (it has some black in its fur), and type (electricity = lightning = sky = Guardian Spirit of the Sky). As an electric-type, luxray is fitting, but I also feel that luxray is a good fit due to the fact that it is protective and sharp. Luxray, according to the pokédex, are known to track down prey and their lost young, which I feel fits with how Shiro is willing to tackle any danger if it means protecting the rest of his team, both now and in his backstory.

(Midday) Lycanroc — Perhaps a bit odd, due to the fact that lycanroc is a rock-type, but I chose lycanroc because of the quiz on the Voltron site. When asked which animal he would like to be (or which animal is his favorite—can’t remember the exact phrasing), Shiro’s answer was “wolf”. And since lycanroc is a wolf pokémon, I felt it appropriate. I specifically went with the midday form because the midnight form is known for being more uncontrollable and violent, whereas the midday form has unflinching loyalty, which I felt fit Shiro better. As for the coloring, I went with the shiny form because I felt it was more aesthetically accurate.

Altaria — Altaria fits the type theme (which is supposed to be flying), while at the same time being dragon-type, which adds an extra bit of oomph to its power. More than that, though, altaria are known for being fluffy cloud dragons, and the pokédex entries state that if an altaria bonds with a human, then sometimes it will wrap the human in a soft hug and hum. I feel like Shiro deserves a pokémon that will give him fluffy cloud hugs, especially one that can sing in a beautiful voice while doing so. He deserves an altaria, tbh.

Braviary — Another flying-type / majestic bird of prey, braviary are known to fight endlessly in order to protect those important to them. The pokédex entries state that, regardless of injuries braviary sustain, braviary will not stop fighting if it is for the sake of their friends / those they care about. The pokédex entries also state that the more scars a braviary has, the more respect it gains from its peers, and that the people of Alola used to revere braviary as “the hero of the sky”. All of these things are fitting for Shiro. I could imagine him having an old, battle-scarred braviary that he bonds with, especially now that he has some scars of his own (and was known as the Champion in the Galra gladiator ring).

Bisharp — Finally, bisharp, to represent the arm the Galra gave him. I feel that bisharp is one he might have picked up when escaping the Galra base. Perhaps all of his pokémon had been left on Earth (in Keith’s care?), and so Ulaz gave him a bisharp so that he would be able to protect himself. Something like that. I feel like bisharp is a fitting pokémon for that, and one that it would take time for Shiro to fully bond with, but that he would eventually come to trust with anything.

ALLURA:

Sylveon — Allura doesn’t have a Lion (though she’ll be piloting Blue in short order ;D), but I feel that sylveon is a good stand-in for a Lion she would have, or at least will fit the “pink Paladin” theme she’ll have going on once she steps up to piloting Blue and still has her pink armor. As a fairy-type, sylveon seems kind of mystical, and its pokédex entries all state that it can release a soothing aura, which I feel would be appropriate for Allura.

(Alolan) Ninetales — Ninetales themselves are shrouded in lore and legend, particularly since they’re based on the mythical kitsune, but Alolan ninetales in specific has such a mystical beauty that, according to the pokédex, it was once “revered as a deity incarnate”. I feel that this is fitting for Allura, who was seen as a goddess by the Arusians (and still may be, to an extent?). Additionally, Alolan ninetales is beautiful (just like Allura is beautiful), and I feel that the ice/fairy typing would be a good fit for her, particularly since she can be downright frosty when she’s upset with someone (as we saw by the way she froze Keith out after learning of his true heritage).

Gardevoir — Gardevoir are powerful, graceful, and beautiful, and all three of those words are words that can be used to describe Allura. Their powers of being able to see into the future are useful, and they’re said to fight fiercely in defense of their trainers, which is the type of pokémon I feel the crown princess of Altea would most certainly have by her side. Lastly, she can mega evolve gardevoir to really bring hurt down on her enemies.

Mienshao — Mienshao are graceful, beautiful fighters. I chose this one in tribute to the fact that Allura has some kickass close combat skills, and I feel that those skills—plus how graceful and fluid Allura is when fighting—translate well in this pokémon.

Cinccino — Technically cincinno are based on chinchillas, not mice, but I still feel that cinccino is an adorable little representative of Allura’s pet mice regardless, so. I went with it.

Sigilyph — Lastly, sigilyph are said to be leftovers from an ancient civilization, there to patrol and protect. I imagine that a sigilyph might have still been alive in the castle after 10,000 years, and that Allura could have decided to train it thereafter. It felt fitting, anyway.

PIDGE:

Leafeon — The stand-in for the Green Lion, given that leafeon is feline-esque, is a grass-type, and is therefore fitting (since the Green Lion is the Guardian Spirit of the Forest). 

Rotom — It’s Rover! I felt that rotom was a fitting substitute for Rover given that it’s an electric-type, and its dual-typing of ghost means that it can also possess various electronics and gadgets, which would be useful in helping Pidge hack things. Plus, I can easily see a little rotom following her around, can’t you?

Sceptile — I admit, I did waffle for a bit over whether this position should go to pidgeot instead given her (nick)name, but ultimately I felt that sceptile—and, specifically, Mega Sceptile—was a much better fit. On top of having the right typing of grass, sceptile are known for being able to grow and nurture forests, which fits with the Green Lion’s ability to grow roots and plants (even though leafeon is the stand-in for the Green Lion, I still feel this is important). Additionally, Mega Sceptile has the ability Lightningrod, which attracts electricity to it. This is a good representation of the fusion of nature and tech, as demonstrated in the episode with the Olkari. I find it really fitting, therefore, that Pidge have a (mega) sceptile.

Emolga — I wanted Pidge to have at least one more electric-type, and dual-type electric/flying emolga fit the bill, particularly since the pokédex states that emolga live in treetops, which once again brings the nature/tech fusion to mind.

Breloom — Breloom are poisonous fighters who can and will rough you up, which I feel is very fitting for Pidge, since she is tiny, but fierce. Additionally, while Pidge clearly uses her tech and gadgetry to fight from a distance sometimes, her Bayard has her doing a lot of up-close-and-personal fighting as well, which I feel suits breloom’s style rather nicely.

Tropius — A grass/fighting pokémon, tropius would help Pidge get around. Also, while Pidge has never said anything specific about bananas, well … maybe she likes them? And tropius grows them, which is pretty useful. I don’t know, I can just see Pidge riding a tropius around. It feels fitting to me.

LANCE:

Vaporeon — The stand-in for the Blue Lion, of course, given that vaporeon is a feline-esque, water-type pokémon.

Kingdra — Though I imagine it would be a seadra for the majority of the series, I wanted to show the fully evolved form, which is kingdra. I chose kingdra not only because it’s a water-type (water/dragon, actually), but also because, given that it’s based on seahorses, it can shoot water (ink?) from its mouth/snout. Given that Lance prides himself on being a sharpshooter, I felt it fitting.

Blastoise — Similarly, blastoise is a water-type with huge guns/cannons coming out of its shell, allowing it to shoot, rather than spray, its opponents. Blastoise is also capable of mega evolution, so I figure that this is the one that Lance would mega evolve. 

Milotic — Milotic is a water-type that evolves once its beauty is maxed out, which I feel is fitting for Lance, who cares about his appearance. Even more fitting is the fact that milotic evolves from feebas, who is known for being ugly and useless by those around it. Not that Lance is ugly or useless, of course, before anyone gets upset, but rather, Lance has insecurities and issues that make him feel as though he might be useless at times. Therefore, feebas evolving into milotic can be representative of Lance growing past his insecurities and seeing himself as a truly useful member of the team.

Swanna — Swanna is a water/flying, giving Lance a flier on his team, and is known for being elegant and graceful. Again, this is something that I feel Lance would really want on his team.

Primarina — “Two starters?!” you say, but I’m not thinking of it in those terms. (Though the answer is still “yes” regardless, haha.) I feel that primarina would be an excellent choice for Lance because it’s based on mythical mermaids or sirens, so on top of being beautiful, perhaps he picked up a popplio on the mermaid adventure he had at the beginning of season two, and eventually evolved it all the way to primarina. It could happen.

HUNK:

Persian — Unfortunately, there are no ground-type feline pokémon (or at least, none that I can think of off-hand, and I’m going to be ashamed of myself if there’s one I’m forgetting). The closest that we get is leafeon, but leafeon is already standing in for the Green Lion. Therefore, I chose persian to stand in for the Yellow Lion, given that persian is a big, yellow cat. Maybe we’ll get a ground-type feline in Gen VIII, but until then, we have persian.

Donphan — Donphan are said to have such thick armor that they can barely be scratched, according to the pokédex, and I feel that this is fitting considering the fact that the Yellow Lion has the strongest armor of all the Lions. Although persian is standing in as the Yellow Lion, I still find it fitting for Hunk to have such a tank on his team.

Garchomp — Garchomp have a dual-typing of ground/dragon, and are extremely tough and formidable. They can also mega evolve, and as such, garchomp is a fitting member of Hunk’s team. (Since, in case it wasn’t obvious, I want every member to have a pokémon capable of mega evolution, heh.)

Excadrill — Excadrill are ground/steel, and I felt that fitting for Hunk, given that Hunk is an engineer (as well as being the Paladin who pilots the Guardian Spirit of Land). Excadrill could certainly help Hunk work on various ships and other mechanical things, and I think the two could bond quite nicely over that.

Golurk — Golurk are ground/ghost, but more importantly, they were created by an ancient civilization in order to protect people and pokémon. Once again, the Yellow Lion is the Lion that is most ready to defend the others; its Paladin is one who supports the rest of the team, and will sacrifice himself for the sake of his teammates. Golurk was no doubt based on the Iron Giant (Golurk was designed by an American, so yes, this is very possible), and the Iron Giant sacrifices itself to save the planet in the climax of the film. (This movie has been out for years, I’m not spoiler tagging that.) I feel that golurk is a fitting member for Hunk’s team, therefore, particularly given how protective he is over the rest of the team / those he cares about.

Mudsdale — The final ground-type, and final member of the team. During the Balmera arc, Hunk was a knight in shining armor for Shay, and every knight needs a noble steed. I firmly believe that mudsdale could be that noble steed for Hunk.

CORAN:

Ursaring --- Coran has a tendency to go Papa Bear over Allura, and he’s also protective of the rest of the Paladins as well. For this reason, I felt that giving him a big bear pokémon was appropriate, and ursaring fit the bill.

Claydol --- Claydol is said to be from an ancient civilization, which I felt fits with the fact that Altea is long gone. Claydol is also a psychic-type, which fits with the Alteans’ ability to manipulate quintessence and the like.

Alakazam --- Alakazam is highly intelligent and has a fantastic mustache, both traits of which fit Coran rather nicely. Alakazam can also mega evolve, so there’s the mega evolver of Coran’s team.

Bronzong --- Once again, bronzong is from an ancient civilization. Bronzong can also, according to its pokédex entries, open portals---and while it’s usually Allura who opens wormholes in the castle, Coran is the one who knows how to repair the castle so that it can create those wormholes, so I figured this still fit rather nicely.

Oranguru --- Oranguru is another highly intelligent pokémon who only respects experienced trainers, and is thus best suited for veterans, which Coran would be. I figured this was a nice fit, therefore.

Klefki --- And lastly, I figure that Coran might have a klefki that keeps various keys around the castle. If not that, then I figured that having a mischievous klefki on his team could be rather amusing. Either way, I feel it works.

18. First, second, or third person?

Almost always third person, unless the source text is in third person (as is the case with Doctrine of Labyrinths). Unless second person feels really compelling for some reason.

I remember one Grandmaster POV fic, for instance, that I started in third person and was like. No this fic wants to be in second person. I have some vague thoughts about why, but they all feel really pretentious for a fic that was functionally just fucked up porn.

Other places there have been cases where I've played around with second person usually, again, because it just felt right. I wrote a Daeron POV fic in second person ages ago (I think it was my first?) and I don't exactly remember why; it might have just been experimenting with the form but I vaguely remember at the time feeling like it fit the fic that I wanted to write.

I feel like there is a theme here to these kind of questions and it is "idk honestly I'm just going on vibes" and that's pretty accurate. Sometimes I think my writing is just vibes all the way down.

Top 5 Tea blends, go!

oooh oh boy okay. I tried to see if I could do this without going down to look at my tea stash (it turns out I could not)

revealing my shame as not a terribly sophisticated tea drinker. oh well

Portal Tea's Creme de la Earl Grey. It's what I'm drinking right now! I usually have at least one mug every day, usually two, sometimes three. I have evangelized this tea to multiple people and gotten multiple people drinking it. It is genuinely so good.

Lake Missoula Tea Company's Evening in Missoula. I need to get more of this one because while generally I am a black tea drinker sometimes you need a good herbal, and this is one of my favorite herbals. I discovered it in a coffee shop in my hometown and it's so tasty - includes (among other things) lavender, peppermint, vanilla, spearmint, and rosehips.

Pearl Fine Teas' Cinnamon Orange Black. There's a couple different specific blends that scratch this itch for me (Good Earth Tea Sweet & Spicy is somewhat similar) but this is a new-to-me one that I'm really enjoying. Pretty much what it says on the tin plus a little clove.

Harney & Sons' Victorian London Fog. I'm a big earl grey drinker in general and this one used to be my main squeeze before I got hooked on the Portal Tea blend. I still really like it, though, for a slightly smokier flavor (which is interesting, as I'm generally not a "smoky flavors" person.

Stash Tea's Peach Black Tea. This was the first tea I really fell in love with and it remains one that I have a lot of affection for, which is kind of weird considering I'm otherwise pretty steadfast on not liking fruit-flavored teas. I like this one. Should really order more of it, I've been out for a while and just too lazy to put in the order.

I used to like Harney & Sons Hot Cinnamon Spice but lately I've found when I got it that it doesn't brew as strong as I like my tea, which was a disappointing development.

bonus mention for (not really a blend but) the pandan tea that I got at a couple places in Thailand that was so good but I have no idea what the actual blend was. maybe pandan and lemongrass? not sure but I need to know so I can make some myself
