I suppose another downside is how much context I need to offer for my level of flailing to make sense to anyone other than me 😆

(multiple callbacks! a grump character finally hoping that they'll all live to see tomorrow! plus so much angst right around the corner!)

Blake "Rook" Thorne (DA): panromantic sapphic

also I should have added that Raven generally prefers women but can crush on men (they have unrequited feelings for both Cassandra and Blackwall before Josie sweeps her off her feet)

SNAP benefits are going to be paused on November 1. If you are able, now is a good time to give to food banks, food pantries, or local mutual aid groups.

sharing fic updates is like stepping onto a fashion runway wearing clothes I designed myself, feeling awkward af, hoping a handful of people in the huge audience look up and one of them will be like "hey! awesome color choice!"

(after which I still feel awkward but I feel a bit of pride too)

feeling slightly better about the months I spent wrestling with the latest two chapters by getting a thumbs up from my spouse (plus praise for Hange being Hange)

also highly amused by having to explain a reference to an OVA that my spouse hasn't seen 😅

[chapter 40 snippet screenshot with its text pasted below]

The queen’s efforts above and beyond exercising her authority are being noticed. If only that could ease the growing worry in Shion’s chest as high-ranked officers gather for a meeting.

Because General Zackly looks like he’s about to explode. “Explain to me why I should ever let you out of my sight again, your Majesty.”

“Are you afraid I might realize that I don’t need you, Zackly?” Historia retorts, her eyes bright. “My soldiers were able to handle this situation without your input, after all.”

“You were lucky. Such reckless behavior will get you killed.” His tone carries the threatening weight of a general berating a soldier, not one speaking to his queen.

“Bold of you to make such a statement in front of these witnesses.” She gestures at the others gathered in this room, most of whom helped install her as ruler: Commanders Erwin and Pixis, Hange, Moblit, Levi, Sasha (who looks ready to fight), Armin, Jonas, and Thomas.

The fury in the general’s expression fades but doesn’t vanish, like flames turning to embers. “I do not fear offering advice to my queen in front of my subordinates.”

“You swore an oath to serve me. I expect you to uphold it.”

Forever grateful to @lilithkb.bsky.social for these two pieces (yes that's the same OC with 2 diff LIs, what can I say except I weave a twisted web of AUs for Dragon Age)

Whew. Nearly 5k words across two chapters drafted and polished for Shion's longfic. Dialing the angst back up to 11. Tweaking canon because I can.

To be posted later today? Maybe?? 🤯

These two pieces by the amazing @lilithkb.bsky.social have my heart forever~ I had never commissioned art before the Neri/Anders piece, and it was such a mind-blowingly fantastic experience that I had to request more 😁💖

Anders (left) and Warden Neri Surana (they/them, right) from Dragon Age sitting back to back under the night sky at Vigil's Keep. Ser Pounce-a-lot the cat sits on Anders's lap, Neri's pointing skyward, and Anders is looking fondly at Neri, their fingers *almost* but not quite touching.

From left to right: my beloved OT3 of Levi, Shion (original character), and Hange from Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan). Levi's in a typical pose with crossed arms and an irritated expression, Shion's eyes are closed as she smiles with one arm around Hange and her other hand on Levi's shoulder, and Hange's arm wraps around both of them (they're also smiling with their eyes closed).

I'm trying to be more authentic on socmed even when I feel like my real self is bothersome/weird/repulsive because I'm convinced that authentic human connection will help us get through these times

but it's still scary to put myself out here lol

I'm picturing a moment of Daishione doing magic in some way that intrigues Makimi who demands to know how that worked, Daishione being unable to explain, so Makimi pesters her with questions until one (or both) gives up 😆

me over here realizing my aceflux and genderfluid feels are apparently getting projected onto my three most recent blorbos

- Nia Morgna from Suzerain
- Dys from I Was a Teenage Exocolonist
- Hange from Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin)

like. I'm feral over them. but feral in non-thirsty ways?
