Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

My thoughts exactly. I love this book, I love that scene, and I love these kids.

THAT FUCKING SCENE.

I just finished the books for the latest time this morning and like.  Listen.  My order of priorities is as follows:

1) Write the Ellimist Ex Machina post-war AU

2) Reread the entire series

3) 

im doing this and getting them right now :)

Good, welcome to the Animorphs Club, bring tissues and maybe a comfort item.

I mean, you could have gone with “some people like it and others don’t.”

…I could have but we all knew I wasn’t gonna

I’ve never been called academically kinky before and this is delightful.

i cannot get over how you just compared bdsm to math like was there ever a better analogy, or a more unlikely one

AM I EVEN WRONG THOUGH

editoress replied to your post “what the fuckening knuck is a second derivative it sounds so evil”

How dare you come after my derivatives this way

listen my dude if you want to derive derivatives you can derive derivatives to your deviant little heart’s content.

it’s like bdsm.  if you do it consensually you’re just kinky.  if you do it through coercion or force it should be illegal.  the grand advantages of being a social species are that you can do derivatives while i Do Not.  you can do math for funsies and i will do interesting things for funsies and we will meet in the middle.

Okay, I am going to need the link to your historically researched Hamilton fic. (Unless it’s The War series, I totally binged that last week)

Right, so, here’s the two halves of that Schuylkill fic I wrote once.

Here’s a Valley Forge fic I wrote another time.

Here’s the Monmouth smut fic I wrote once, and also on AO3 if you prefer that format.

In all of these, diversions from actual history or places where I don’t know specific details are usually noted, so don’t take them as gospel, but they’re as well researched as I could make them.

Aaaaand I think that’s pretty much what I’ve written that’s period Hamilton fic, and I think every bit of it’s been requested by @lathori because she puts up with A Lot of AmRev digressions.  Obviously there’s also the Star Wars AU (FYI that tag also contains the Borgias Star Wars AU I wrote because I screwed up the tags) and the AIOS AU but those aren’t historical.

Oh and of course here is my rant about the Baron von Steuben and the first underwear kegger in American history, for those of you who are interested in that situation.

Cause you were opinionated on medical equality. I just remember there was a spam of them when Tumblr suggested you. If i never mentioned that.

THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH

I HAVE N O IDEA WHAT YOURE TALKING ABOUT BUT TALK TO ME ANYWAY

YOU’RE A CHAMP AND I’M TALKING ABOUT THIS IN CASE YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO KNOW.

But so Krei, everyone’s favorite Buff Tree Lesbian (IN AN AMAZING SHOW OF RESTRAINT, THAT IS NOT HER ACTUAL TAG), really genuinely likes making flower crowns.  It’s the only really finessed plant magic she’s good at–Krei is much more the ‘hey you need someone to wreck that wall, I got you’ type of magic worker, but she makes A DAMN GOOD FLOWER CROWN.  (Her mother, who had a talent for delicate work and was known for her trellises as much as her sword play, despaired of her.)  And of course since she’s a plant worker it’s practically legally mandated that Krei know the meanings of various plants, but her girlfriend Shiko is a baby who only just recently showed up in Alleirat and knows Nothing.  So Krei gets away with a lot of shenanigans based on plant messages before Shiko finally buys a book of plant meanings off someone and bullies Brenneth into translating it for her.

But I just really want you all to picture a tiny serious-faced Japanese girl standing at the head of a small army of reanimated corpses with a crown of daisies and aster on her head the whole time.

okay so I’m totally with y'all that spn sucks, but that’s not gonna stop me from watching season 13. I’ve sunk 12 years of my life into this show, i will see it through

And I want you to know that I admire the fuck out of that bloody-minded stubbornness.  *fist bump*
