"Pockets"

Call me Siena. My personal blog is @siena-sevenwits, full of things that excite me like the liberal arts, the sacred, and the hilarious. Over here I'm dipping a foot in the babbling brook of fanfiction. All fics can also be found at ao3 under "thewatercolours."

If you're looking for my main blog, it's @siena-sevenwits.

If you're here for King's Quest fandom, you're in the right place.

My fics can be found here on Archive of Our Own.

”but the only linen for those good at killin’…”

“pippin you can’t say that. eowyn tell him he can’t”

“linen gets softer with more boiling and hard washing so it’s a fitting line for a warrior who no doubt wears it to battle under his armor”

“eowyn that did NOT HELP”

Could use fluff and care and whimsy. 💜

Eugenie drawing something using the tools you usually use and in a spot where you often draw.

I kept forgetting.... but uh. Hey!! A month later. Only for Eugenie to be sketching on my tiny tablet in my room while Winston meows at her instead of Spring.

I refuse to ruin the rickroll by saying it publicly, but somehow that pin you sent to fictionadventurer has gotten stuck to my pintrest app. It has rickroll'd me three times.

Indeed? I should say then that the rickroll is fulfilling its vocation excellently. ;-)

Last year on Valentine’s Day I asked my mutuals what kind of valentines I should drop in people’s ask boxes. @fictionadventurer said rickrolls. I hear and obey - a year later.

❤️❤️ HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! ❤️❤️ Hope you have a sweet day!! ☺️🫶

Thank you! I wish a perfectly wonderful Valentine’s Day on you!!

"Let me show you something I really love."

After eight solid years of King's Quest art, cosplay, fic, adoration every single week, it's time for this adventurer to put up his hat.

Not permanently, no. You can never walk away from something you love this much. He just needs a moment to rest under that tree, in that field, watching the lavender sway in the breeze.

This blog will still update, but a little less frequently than every single week, for now.

But this gerbil's still creating. If you want to see what I'm working on, art, cosplay, plushie sewing, anything...I'm over yonder at gerbilofeverything. Come see what I'm up to these days, and stick around for the occasional quest here. <3

Love you all very much, and I love this dorky little kingdom of Daventry.

Always seek adventure!

asdfhfjgjkl, I just realised that we're mutuals

you know, for months I was always instinctively thinking you must be one, but deciding I must be wrong, and only now have I realised that this is not your main

Indeed we are! You are not the first to be confused. If tumblr gave me the ability to switch which blog I could follow from, I would!

But yup -

Any time you get a like from @thewatercolours, that’s me. :-)

[siena-sevenwits]

Reblogging because I have some new followers and mutuals lately. I am thewatercolours, and thewatercolours means me.

[thewatercolours]

For all you folks who thought they were following a blog with lots of literary and historical stuff and so on, and didn’t particularly come looking for my old King’s Quest blog, hie yourself over to @siena-sevenwits. That’s the one you were looking for. :-)

[thewatercolours]

get loved, nerd

The words echo back at you over and over, as though from a vast canyon, and you hear yourself being told to get loved a hundred times over. 💜

😅 💖

(the second was meant to be just two stars with no heart but I can't find the right emoji)

😅Hm - a fic I am a bit embarrassed of. Though I don’t think they should be banished from the light of day - they have some strengths here and there - there are passages from Rippling Consequences that make me blush a little, just because it takes so long for the plot to get going. I think we spend the first two chapters just going, “Poor Graham’s being turned into a goblin! It’s so scary for him!” before he gets the escape going, and there’s just rather a lot of angst.

There are some chapters in Path of Kingship that feel this way too, though they are a little more balanced - I coasted on the goofiness of the Tickle Rock to offset the kingly angst as long as I reasonably could!

✨Compliment my writing? Mm, I think my writing is crafted with a lot of love, and I do believe that’s something that communicates to the reader in a way that helps the story.

Flufftober Day 23 - Group Hug

It's important to let your local technician know they're appreciated and loved... even if it is in the form of a group hug.

Flufftober Day 25 - Cold Hands

Guybrush and cold never went hand in hand... having two friends knowing this with cold hands planting it on his face also never went together.

Nothing was more relaxing than cuddling by a crackling fireplace.
