Fic Recommendations! (Sorry I’m a little late.)
A boy king learns connects to some unruly subjects and is nearly kidnapped by them. (https://archiveofourown.org/works/282977/chapters/450232)
In searching for his father across treacherous sees, a brave boy finds a dad. (https://archiveofourown.org/works/25320028/chapters/61389370)
A princess meets a hero, and he is not what she expected (not romantic). (https://archiveofourown.org/works/64745257)
Hope you enjoy at least one.
I chose the third option and really enjoyed it! I'm not very familiar with Legends of Zelda, but it was still a fun story without all the lore background.
Now that I've looked at the other fics, I'll definitely give the Narnia one a read as well!
Something I wish we got a little more of was Coulson comforting/encouraging Fitz??? That dynamic was played out a little bit, yes, but I feel like there's something there.
The way how Coulson would clasp Fitz shoulder as he was on the verge of tears, and in s4 when Coulson laid his forehead on Fitz' head telling him it was gonna be alright, and how he held Fitz' forearms as he was spiralling after coming out of the Framework....
Do you think Coulson was imitating what his father did for him when he was little? Comfort through physicality? I'd like to think so...
But also, Coulson has to know about Fitz' dad and how he left. He's gotta know there's a sort of hurt there. Maybe he feels the need to step in a little bit and show him what a real father is like? That it's okay to not only break, but to also be gentle.
Mack’s doneness in Agents of Shield is the type of apathy I aspire to feel. He just does not care anymore. He’s so done. He just wants to be a father and a mechanic but this found family found him and dragged him along on their adventures. He does not want to be there but his little brother (Fitz) and his little sisters (Daisy and Jemma) need him so fine, he’ll stay. He is the people who say ‘why are characters in horror movies so dumb? Don’t go into the dark scary house alone!’ But then he goes in anyway because his dumb family is and he needs to protect them. I will never get over him in the framework, he was so happy! But ya, he’s very funny with his doneness, especially seasons four and five because robots and aliens. But he’s ok, as long as he has his shotgun-axe.
I hate the term "religious guilt" because most people who use it are severely muddling up (a) religious OCD (b) some messed up heresy like "it's wrong to be happy" (c) religious doctorine you don't agree with but aren't sure whether you're right not to
Happy National Otter Day!
We've been cooking this up for quite a while >:) I've been given the go-ahead to share some art for our card game that's in development- "Otter Nonsense"!
Play as multiple factions of Otters to defeat the army of Geese who are trying to take over the river.
You can follow the instagram (still in the works) for updates! I'll also be sharing whatever I can on here, as well.
This is just a lil sneak peek, but there's more art on it's way!
"Deprecated Fandoms" Spam Bot Alert!
If you get a comment that says AO3 is "deleting works to conserve server space", that is a Spam Bot. There is no such thing as "deprecated fandom content", nor is there any limit on the number of works that can be posted to a fandom tag (regardless of how "popular" it is). AO3 has not changed its content policies. We are committed to upholding our founding principle of maximum inclusiveness of fanwork content, and will only remove content that violates the AO3 Terms of Service. While non-fanworks are not allowed on AO3, we consider both original works and real-person fiction to be fanworks. Please don't listen to anyone telling you otherwise.
Unlike the previous round of art spam, so far these comments have all been from guests, so our advice for handling them is different! We're working on filtering these comments out, and flagging them as spam is how you can help. Read more below the cut!
To help train our automated spam-checker to block similar guest comments in the future:
If the comment is on your own work:
Note: The "Spam" button only appears when viewing a guest comment directly on your work. This is because the AO3 comment inbox is merely a copy of the work's comments – deleting a comment from your AO3 inbox does not delete the comment from the work itself.
Go directly to the comment on your work, either by clicking on the link in your email or in your AO3 inbox.
Click on the "Spam" button to mark the guest comment as spam and remove it from your work.
That's it! You don't have to do anything else.
If you see comments like these on someone else's work:
Feel free to let the creator know the comment is from a bot and that they should mark it as spam.
You can also report the comments as botspam via the Policy Questions & Abuse Reports form linked at the bottom of every page on AO3.
If you are reporting multiple guest comments, please submit only one report and include all comment links in your report description. (You can get the direct link to any comment by clicking the "Thread" button on the comment, and then copying the URL of that page.)
AO3's Policy & Abuse committee (PAC) does not pre-screen content on AO3; they only investigate if they receive a report. All reports are reviewed by PAC volunteers, who are real human beings. You don't need to worry that your or anyone else's fanworks will be taken down due to a baseless report or a mass-reporting campaign.
If PAC were to determine that you had violated the TOS, you would receive a notification of the violation via the email address associated with your AO3 account—not via comments, social media, or any other method.
YOU want to see that man in a fit of despair. I also would like that but I want him in a church about it
I've been enjoying seeing the book lists everyone has been posting lately, so I thought I'd join in! I'm very interested to see the results!

reblog if you wear glasses. too many mutuals don't know they have glasses wearers in their midsts
new zealand !!! sorry theses are taking so long lol
Diana Wynne Jones wins big once again for understanding that the funniest way to write an isekai/portal fantasy is from the point of view of the people living in the fantasy world who look at the character who got isekai’d from our world and are like ‘WHAT is that guy’s deal???’
Howl/Howell stumbling back into his moving castle drunk after a night with his rugby bros is like the second funniest scene in that book, closely followed by poor Sophie getting reverse isekai’d and taking a day trip to Wales and suffering the terrible ordeal of a ride in a car.
A Fflam being fflamtastic is a new comic page worth a Tumblr.
Canonically, Elanor doesn't like chocolate except occasionally when mixed with other things.
Canonically, Elanor is a very cautious person unless it involves a lake, at which point she will just keep going.
Canonically, Elanor ran around in costume shooting nerf bullets at people right after turning eighteen.
Putting “canonically” before saying anything you’ve done in the third person is hilarious, makes you feel like a character, and sounds like a crazy headcanon that’s actually 100% true. Observe:
Canonically, Morgan enjoys Nutella and peanut butter on her bagels.
Canonically, Morgan caused a Paramecium Incident right before her elementary school graduation (on accident; rip my several thousand microorganism pets in an uncovered plastic cup).
Doesn’t matter how mundane or wild it is, it’s still funny to me
If you see this, you’re obligated to reblog with your own canon life lore!🤣 (y’know, just if you want)
I 100% adore the Lord of the Rings movies, but the fact is that the Arwen-Is-Dying-Because-Ring-Magic plotline makes zero sense by the lore (if I’m wrong please correct me I’d love to learn). Don’t get me wrong, it works great for the movie, brilliant, in fact, but it doesn’t really make much sense in book logic. Why would Arwen’s fate be tied to the Ring? If she’s mortal now she can’t Fade, and if she’s still Elvish there’s no reason why it should affect her more than anyone else.
BUT, I was watching the extended scene where Aragorn looks into the Palantir and Sauron speaks to him in Black Speech and shows him pictures of a dead Arwen and smashes the Evenstar (Which is a whole other The-Books-Call-Bullshit shebang), and I came up with my own in-universe explanation.
Sauron: *Chilling in Mordor*
An Orc of some kind: My Lord Mairon (Because THAT is what they would call him), the spies have come back from Rivendell.
Sauron: Show me.
Magic Evil Spy: *Shows Sauron the image of a mortal man of the race of Numenor making out with an Elf lady who looks suspiciously familiar…*
Sauron: OH HELL NO!
Evil Spy: Indeed, Master. The Heir of Isildur lives.
Sauron: Get rid of her, now.
Evil Spy: Right away, Mast- her?
Sauron: Yes! Yes yes yes, I don’t care what it takes, get her out of here.
Evil Spy: My Lord, but surely, Isildur’s heir-?
Sauron: Do not harm that man, you hear me? Do not lay a finger on him until she is taken care of.
Evil Spy:
Evil Spy: Are you sure-?
Sauron: Was there a dog?
Spy: A dog, Master?
Sauron: Yes, yes, a dog, a big one.
Spy: Not that I could see, no.
Sauron: Oh well thank Eru for that, at least.
Spy: Are you feeling ill, Master?
Sauron: No, and I’d like to keep it that way. Arwen annihilation is priority number one, ok? And don’t you lay a finger on her man until I say so, got it?
Spy: Alright then…
Sauron, still looking at the image: HE’S GOT THE RING OF FELAGUND!!!
Spy:
Sauron: KILL HER KILL HER KILL HER KILL HER KILL HER RIGHT NOW!
L.M. Montgomery, letter to E.B. Weber, 7 April 1929
God grant me the strength to do the things I enjoy
Eilonwy held up the golden ball. He took it, cradled it reverently in his hands, and whispered something she could not make out. He looked her in the eye. “Did you know this was your mother’s?”
Warm gladness bloomed in her chest. “I thought it might be,” she said, “because I couldn’t imagine Achren giving it to me. But I wasn’t sure. She never tried to take it away.”
“No,” Gwydion said, that wistful smile back on his face. “She coveted it, beyond a doubt, but it would have done nothing for her. But for you…” he hesitated. “Can you use it?”
“I can do this.” She took it back and cupped the smooth sphere, raised it glowing before his face. A spark of glimmering gold mirrored it in both his eyes. She felt from him a rush of emotions so palpable it almost knocked her over, too many, too intense even to unravel one from the other. He was looking at the light as though transfixed, and with an effort that felt like a dam breaking, he tore his eyes away and gently pushed her hand down, blocking the glow from his vision.
‘no one uses tumblr!’ ‘tumblr is dead!’ no there’s at least enough people for us to point at each other and go ‘10k notes!!!!!!’ and it can happen
Having internet friends is an experience. Did you eat today? I can't believe your sister hasn't apologized yet, what a bitch. Drink a glass of water right now. Want to see a cat picture? I love you. I know you better than your parents. I don't know your name. I'm having a rough day, can you talk to me about your favorite videogame? I love you. Good morning means good night means good afternoon means go to sleep. Here's a doodle I made in class. I'm stealing your clothes as we speak, they're so pretty. I love you. I love your pet. What does your hair look like? I'd love to see that weird leaf. I love you. I'm making you your favorite food. Thank you for holding my secrets for me. I love you. We're having a coffee date. I love you. I'm giving you a screen-sized hug. I love you. I love you. I love you.
Hey I did the thing! How many of these have you read? (making this list took way longer than I thought it would and I kept myself strictly to fiction..... I am considering doing a second list of nonfiction lol.)
Ramble about ones you've read in the notes, I'd love to know! 😊
Reblog to hug prev
Please
rb to tell ur mutuals ur fond of them
nothing will ever live up to the moment when after devouring over 250 pages deeply immersed in the characters and story and after the emotions of the proposal I reached the very end of the letter that turns everything on its head only to find out that Mr Darcy's name is Fitzwilliam
it's been nearly five years, and i'm still upset we never got a dousy hug.
Elizabeth Bennet: the first impression I had of Mr Darcy prevented me from realising how wrong I was about him for so long! Hah, I thought myself clever, but I am just another fool!
Anne Shirley: how long is “so long”, exactly?
Elizabeth Bennet: months!
Anne Shirley, who spent years holding a grudge before realising how wrong she was about Gilbert: nah, I think you are good!
