question for the general public: if somebody leaves a comment on your fic in a different language, do you respond in yours or theirs ToT. I had a very sweet comment in Spanish that I had to Google translate. I don't want to make this person google translate my response, but I also don't know Spanish well enough to make a fluid response so what do I do?? please help

Ideas for background court drama in your fictional monarchy for flavor or humor:

King did not name his son as his heir because his son is an idiot. Said idiot son keeps trying to kill his cousin or uncle that was named as heir but keeps failing because he’s not good at this. Everyone is annoyed at the king for not imprisoning him

New political marriage in the court and the new spouse from outside the kingdom brought a chef with them that cooks weird

Some religious authority and the king keep going to war with each other and making up again like an on again off again toxic couple

Everyone thinks that one of the ladies in waiting got pregnant out of wedlock but she doesn’t even look pregnant and she keeps being like guys it’s been ten months

Someone important in the court keeps throwing really big parties that they can’t afford and people lower down on the ladder keep trying to find ways to stop them without technically disobeying them

Monks come complaining to the king that they’re not being fed enough when in fact they usually eat better than the king does

One of the servants overheard something really embarrassing and they really wanna tell someone so they’ve gotta figure out how to do that without getting in trouble

One of the members of the royal family has gotten obsessed with something (fashion trend, food, etc.) that the rest of the court hates but they have to pretend to like it or they’ll get in trouble

The queen mother (king’s mom) keeps annoyingly trying to interfere with how things are going and the king and the new queen keep running away and hiding whenever they hear her coming and it’s getting ridiculous

The king has not named an heir yet and everyone even slightly eligible for the throne keeps quietly trying to kill each other in the background while the king doesn’t notice and obliviously drinks beer and reads his newspaper

[certifiedducky-deactivated20260]

no way tiana is a bigger ship than dexiana. are you guys blind.

[theleopardstalker]

physically yes, mentally I just want Tam to have something for himself after the crap show that is his life and for Biana to have a baddie boyfriend who matches her freak (and I'm sorry but Dex is too shy for that given his current character in the books, no matter what hcs exist)

[akiosilverbangs]

Look at this MASTERPIECE I MADE LOL. I AM SO IN LOVE WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!

Keefe should make a boy band actually. Tam looks like a rapper

[theleopardstalker]

OMYGOSH KOTLC KPOP AU PULL UP

As op said, Tam is obvi the rapper, bad boy persona,

I feel like Dex would be the sweet snarky one, Fitz is def the charming, romantic guy, Wylie is sooo the mysterious guy nobody knows crap about, and Keefe is... well Keefe is Keefe.

[foeofcolor]

[sonypraystation]

white people have the sauce sometimes and dont even know it

[sonypraystation]

i just saw a youtube short of brandon sanderson on a podcast. the whole time hes talking hes doing book signings. what a flex. so many bitches on my dick i gotta multitask

[if-i-was-a-wyrm]

brandon sanderson is actually just built different. once on a podcast with patrick rothfuss they were talking about tools to write better and he said "i try to limit myself to 8 hours of writing per day." he took time off of writing during the first year of covid and accidentally wrote four unplanned books. he teaches a class at byu. his wife has a codeword to get him to stop writing in his head because at any given moment you might think he's doing something normal but no he's also writing another novel. stephen king said he's insane

[theleopardstalker]

and yet his books are still amazingly written with incredible characters and jaw dropping plotlines (highly recommend literally any of them lol)

[theleopardstalker]

yknow that thing that is like

the story is a tragedy because it didn't have to end this way

vs

the story is a tragedy because it was always going to end this way

i read that like yesterday and then I had a rlly good idea for a book where there are two mcs that don't interact (or their stories don't need each other, yk what I mean)

both of their stories are tragic love stories.

one of the characters is given choices at every page turn, everything is a decision, metaphorically and literally. Maybe they had to choose their lover, their career, the death of somebody. Anyways, the writing for that story is just filled with choosing things.

the other character is given no choice. Everything is chosen for them, in there life and their relationship. Everything in the writing and author's craft shows no choice, everything is rigid. The writing is filled with pre-determined events completely.

Both stories end badly. One didn't have to end the way it did. The other was always going to end the way it did.

Any genre, any relationship, super flexible between different author's crafts.

But it would just be so heartbreaking to watch as both stories crumble for completely different reasons. It would be devastating as a reader to watch two wonderful relationships get destroyed by their own actions and fate.

anyways.

[berylofapples]

heard about pluto? it’s messed up, right?

[theleopardstalker]

this is perfection thank you

[theleopardstalker]

"What do you want?" She asked annoyed.

"What do you want?" She asked angrily.

"What do you want?" She resigned.

"What do you want?" She giggled.

"What do you want?" She screamed.

"What did you want?" She whispered.

[queefsencen]

do you think she still tries to go to alvar’s room after a bad dream and forgets he won’t be in there 🙃

[theleopardstalker]

omygosh the slash is so sad ToT. ok so basically I love this and now I'm gonna yap ehehe anywas

the pose in the picture is so perfect like Biana resting on alvar's shoulder is so accurate because the way that is literally me and my older brother like I lean on him and he wont lean on me but he wont move really and its just a slight show of affection but (especially with an older brother) you take what you can get and its so perfect because even when he left he still had that little bit of affection for his sister but she is so betrayed and even though the slash was probably Fitz canonically I would love to imagine that it was Biana in a bout of anger because "how could he do this to me? He was everything and he left, how could he leave?" and then her just like collapsing in sobs thank you goodbye

[theleopardstalker]

spoilers for "I am the Messenger"

apparently unpopular opinion (as I just found out) I read a book recently and it was amazing, world view changing, incredible. It was called "I am the Messenger" by Markus Zusak . And (here comes the unpopular part) I loved the ending. If you haven't read the book this might not make much sense to you, but wow. The entire book was extremely thought provoking and I def cried a few times and yelled and kicked my feet and giggled and screamed. For those who haven't read it, a quick overview of the book. The main character is Ed. Just Ed. He is a nineteen year old cab driver who has three friends, a stinky dog, and a mother who seems to hate him. He has done nothing with his life. And that's the point. One day, he gets an ace in the mail with three addresses on it. He goes to those addresses and each one has a problem that needs to be fixed. An abusive horrible man who rapes his wife. A lonely old woman who lost her husband in the second world war and is still waiting for him to come back. A girl who runs barefoot in the morning and is freed by it. He solves their problems through something he does. He makes their lives better. He gets more Aces, each one with more names or addresses or clues. He helps strangers, then his mom, then his closest friends, then himself. However, many people apparently found the ending unsatisfying. I loved it. It didn't close full circle, but I found that fitting. I thought, given the narration style and the nature of the story, a full circle ending wouldn't have made sense. The entire book was about him making something of his life. That if him, the epitome of ordinariness, could do something, then maybe anybody could. So I felt that the open ending with an interesting author introduction was fitting and quite thought provoking.

Anyways, amazing book that hit really close to home (especially the parts about Ritchie and his mom ifykyk) and I think everybody should read it and tell me if they thought that ending was really as bad as people say it is.
