I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee...

[ultramarineorchid]

helloooo! santa is back! hope everything has been wonderful for you since i last checked in :) i have a couple questions for you today:

what is your favorite headcanon right now? or just like do you have a favorite acotar thought (or other bookish thought) bouncing around in your head? I know I always do....

what are some things you love seeing in fic? what are some things you really don't like? are there any characters you would really like to make an appearance? are there any characters that you definitely don't want to see?

what's something that you're obsessed with lately?

talk soon, have a great weekend!!

HI Santa and sorry for a bit of delay in answering! Work has been crazy 🤪

Current headcannon: To me, as a couple, they'd be very sweet in some ways: I'm thinking forehead kisses, gifts of flowers (maybe from her to him) and just little tender moments of care.

About fic, to be totally honest I've not read much Elriel fic 🙈. Something I'd love to see in general is her kissing his hands. There's not much I don't like in fic in general, though I wouldn't want to see infidelity or domestic abuse. I guess in general I like my fics on the lighter side, though of course there's nothing wrong with some angst or drama!

I don't really want to see much of Lucien or Gwyn but there are no characters I hate (not even those two). I do really like Feyre, Nesta, Rhys and Cassian so basically everyone who's been a huge character so far. But they're not necessary to me in the fic either, I'd be perfectly happy with just Elriel too. You do.what you feel good about!

Thanks for checking in with me!

is that...a hint of winter chill in the air?? could it be?? YOUR ACOTAR SECRET SANTA IS HERE!!

I'm so excited to start to get to know you, my friend! I heard we're elriel buddies and I cannot wait to write you a beautiful story about them to celebrate the holidays! We'll get into more fic-specific questions soon, but I'm starting with my favorite question to ask about my fic babies: any songs or artists or albums that make you think of Elain and Azriel?

Hi and thanks for the ask! Tori Amos comes to mind, sort of light and haunting but also pretty? Maybe hopefully I'm making sense?

Thanks for creating for me this year!

[ultramarineorchid]

AITA Tom Riddle Style:

So there's this girl (23F) who I've (23M) known for around 4 months. We were together, but not exactly official, more like she understood that if she flirted with anyone else I would kill him. Bottom line, she was mine. It was a little intense but nothing too out there. We once had a sort of fight to the death in an alley but we both understood it was all in good fun.

Now, ever since I met her I’ve known she was lying about everything. I don’t mean little white lies or lies of omission either. I mean I don’t even know her real name. This is despite the fact that I’ve always been *totally* honest with her. I figured she’d probably killed a few people and would eventually tell me in her own time. I can be patient, no big deal.

Anyway. Long story short, she stole my two most prized possessions the same night I told her I’d kill whoever she wanted me to and that I’m obsessed with her and will keep her for all time whether she wants that or not. Obviously this theft came as a bit of a shock. I knew she was a liar, but a betraying bitch? That was quite the blow. I can’t exactly say what these objects are but it’s difficult to fully convey their importance to me. It’s almost like she stole a part of my soul.

Of course I’ve thought about killing her. I even made a fairly credible attempt, if I do say so myself, in the Romanian woods where not even the crows could have found her body. The problem is, she’s really hard to kill. And the worst part is it’s not even like she’s physically hard to kill, it’s more like my head just isn’t in the game. I don’t know, it’s weird.

So, here's where I may be the asshole. A few minutes ago I started to finger her against a wall, and it was really obvious she wanted to go further, but instead I cursed at her and ran away. AITA for not staying and giving her what she obviously wanted, then maybe trying to kill her again? I feel like maybe it was ungentlemanly to run away.

😂😂😂😂😂 now do hermione!!!!! 🙏

Sadly this is probably the best thing I've ever written.

hi there!

im a big fan of infernos, just wanted to ask when the next update will be? no pressure ofc, i understand if youre busy :)

I'm always so happy to hear people are interested in Infernos! It's so cool to me that the Alias Fandom is still alive 🥰😍

Sorry I am a bit late with the update, I am hoping to get the next chapter up before the end of the weekend 😁

[written-musings]

Made this mood board because I have been deep in the obidala feels lately. Something about dark, yet warm and bitter sweet angst that burns brighter than the desert suns kind of vibe. Ugh ugh.

[your-dose-of-obidala]

This is so pretty 💟

Cal and Rose are Underrated as a Ship

Take my tiny contribution to the Cal/Rose section of the Titanic fandom: a fic where the stock market crash of 1929 goes a bit differently for Cal, with Rose at his side.
