If both Shion and Hange were on board, Hange would likely badger Levi into it until he relented 😁 (given his physical condition at that point, he might be more amenable to some sort of formal thing that symbolizes their commitment despite his altered circumstances)

Neri Surana: never (they'll eventually reunite with Anders and that's all that matters)

Heather Cousland: no (Anora is officially married to Alistair but they're each other's true partner)

Shion Miller: only if legally necessary (no rings needed for this OT3 to be fully committed to one another)

ooh, big ceremony or something small and/or casual for Daishione's wedding?

stunning! love the little pinpricks of stars poking through too 🤩

I haven't read those books in... yikes... over two decades. But even though my memory fails me on the details, I loved them enough to move them across the country multiple times because I still have them on my shelf! Sounds like I'm past due to read them again. 😁

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't kno...

Realizing the "we poisoned you all with lead for decades" generation was immediately followed by "we fucked up teaching you how to read, now you're bad at it and hate it" generation to be followed by "Mandatory AI will fry your cognition" generation. Well, shit.

!!!! this looks AWESOME 🎉🥳💖

Hey! So uh I kept it a secret but this summer I did the art for a videogame and the demo is out NOW!!!

The story is AMAZING and incredibly up-to-date. LOVED its take on ppl outside the norm and the US gov and corporate shit and hhhhhhhhh I am genuinely excited :_)

brown-haired woman (Heather) in pants and long boots hands a letter to a blonde woman in a blue dress (Anora)

made Heather and Anora after a long af workday in poor health; feeling better now

Heather: *attempts to surreptitiously slip a note to her beloved*
Anora: I have no reason to look at your hand when your face is right there

I didn't expect to finish the third novel THIS quickly. Whew. What a book. What a trilogy. Very grim. Very dark. Flawed humans everywhere. I'll sit with this read for a long time.

It really puts both the "grim" and "dark" into grimdark fantasy 🫠 I'm enjoying quite a bit about the writing and characters but am also unsure whether I'll ever read the trilogy again once I finish... I'm having too many "wait, it fucking gets WORSE??" reactions as I read 😅

☑️ The Poppy War
☑️ The Dragon Republic
➡️ The Burning God

brutal trilogy so far. and yet here I am reaching for book 3.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.

If you ever question if your fanfic is too self indulgent please remember that’s actually the point of fanfiction

I've always loved how much thought you've put into OC names 😁

(meanwhile, I got "Neri" from a TV show I loved as a kid, utterly forgetting that "Neria" was a default Surana name 😆 yet that fact works surprisingly well for their backstory!)

Mandrake's lead piece of art. An androgymous figure stands in a copse of rhubarb, sickle in hand, a large, magical-looking flower in front of them. The trees behind them are in shadow. A house is in the distance, past a river, over the bridge. Text reads: MANDRAKE.

A lovely bit of woodland with a dark edge to it, trees twisting and roots curving improbably overhead. In a cage of roots and flowers, a pair of pupilless white eyes glows. Gnarled hands grasp the roots. A small figure stands stoic before the captive.

A lovely garden with neatly kept, pebble-bordered beds. Different plants and flowers grow in each. A figure is maintaining them.

A grumpy, white-haired white man in a green hunting cloak and carrying an ornate shotgun talks to you, reluctantly. Text in a conversation panel reads: He does not speak. It looks like it's up to you to break the ice. "Greetings," you say. "I've just moved into the village. I'm-" "Morgan. Morgan Mandrake." He grunts. White-haired Man: "There's a lot of stories about the Mandrakes. That their sorcery bent the world in half, and it's never been the same again. That their follies sank Oleas beneath the waves." Conversation options follow: 1. That was a long time ago. 2. Well, I'll try not to do that. 3. Old tales can't be trusted. They are a bed of exaggeration, mistakes, and falsehood. Any truth is buried deep. 4. I'm not going to repeat my family's mistakes.

Yes~ I think you helped me come up with these too 💜

(yes, the second one isn't Dragon Age, but it's the only other ship name I have, and I'm really fond of it)

my ship names are phrases rather than portmanteaus of the characters' names, which seems rare at best, so I'm not quoting the original post 😅 but I'll still share them below~

what's unnamed still connects us
--> Neri/Anders

what we have is each other
--> Levi/Hange/Shion

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

I hate to be *that guy*, but I'm pretty desperate right now - in general, but now my cat really needs her teeth cleaned in the near future. So, if you're planning on ordering any art commissions, please consider me as an option! I would love to help you out! 🙏🥹

inspiration hit hard today! the 3-chapter fic is now complete 😌

I'm unreasonably proud of this one as it's been lurking in my head for months, and I have so very much missed writing for Sol/Dys 💜
