Agnes Montague is sitting in the coffee shop again. Same table, same black coffee, same routine. She wraps her hand around the mug, feeling the heat bloom under her palm. It’s better than burning people, than having them as a sacrifice to prove her warmth. She’s grown out of those fits of anger, and now she sees herself as more of her destiny than the flame borne from it. That’s what it is to be the light in the lightless flame. She wants to be kind but she can’t. She’s a creation with a purpose, and that purpose isn’t kindness.
Everyone else in this shop is human. Completely human. They were born in hospitals, probably, and not within someone else’s – her mother’s – sacrificial funeral pyre. Everyone else in this shop has friends. Everyone else in this shop can find their own purpose. And Agnes just heats her drink, the steam barely bringing up the temperature of her burning skin. She’s the sunlight, just bringing heat down on everyone with her touch. She can burn, but she is essential. She’s not sure who told her that. Something that has to be wrong within her tells her that it was her mother.

just a sad double drabble of me thinking about agnes too hard!! she thinks about her mom regularly imo,, i consider her thinking about her mom's (voluntary) sacrifice as justification that she has to follow her destiny :((((
too insecure about the coloring to put this on the art blog but I drew Agnes again!!
With more and more Ao3 authors restricting their works to the archive (due to AI scraping), they're going to be losing guest interaction. And probably generally feeling down because. You know. AI is stealing their hard work.
So! Now is a great time to stop by your favorite authors/stories and drop them some comments! They really appreciate it!
Who had late Victorian Scooby Doo on their 2024 bingo card? Hmm?
The idea came to me when I was thinking about Sherlock Holmes and then remembered the iconic mystery solving gang hehe
right so. everyones seen that post by now of the kid being like omg how did students write 600 word essays before ai???
and i find myself, at 10:42pm on a friday night, with a 700 word essay to write for a physiology class. i know jack fucking shit about physiology (i was a history major, my brain is incredibly not wired for science) and i am going to prove the kid in this silly little post so incredibly incorrect.
lets do it
meme I made while listening to season 1 of TMA that I'm sure has probably been done before
One of my biggest pet peeves is that somehow I seem to be the only person in the world who means it when I say I'm down for whatever. Like just name whatever you want, I swear on my soul my comfort zone is bigger than yours. I'm fine with sitting at home drinking tea and playing board games, going out and ending up snorting lines off a park bench with 14 strangers at 3 AM, going to national theatre to see their production of La Traviata, sitting outside a grocery store watching pigeons fight over french fries, I'm 100% down. Just tell me how to dress for the occasion and I'll be there.
And then people are like "nooooo I don't wanna take charge just you decide uwu" and that's essentially a code for "I don't want to tell you what I am capable and willing to do, I want you to guess what I want to do, and I'm not giving you a clue because I don't know either", and then they insist that they're not, they're down for anything too, and it's like bitch we both know that one of us is lying and that person isn't me.
I'm down for anything except ice fishing, cat-calling and sports events. I might make an exception for some sport that seems fun and interesting, but I'm not sitting through an entire hockey game. Like those are my limits, just fucking pick something.
Boss is asleep, cannot stop me from frogposting
And they lived happily ever after together, and nothing bad ever happened, and everyone got what they wanted and left Jmart alone!
Wow! What a wholesome end to a great podcast! I can't wait to listen to The Magnus Protocol! I bet nothing bad will happen there too! 🥰
About to start the next episode and -
How would I explain this to someone??
"Yeah, I've been listening to this podcast. Its really amazing. The content warning? Oh the WHOLE ALPHABET"
GERARD WAY from the HIT BAND MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE?!?!
I WISH
Yeah you could say I’m doing numbers on tumblr. And that numbers? One
listen, there is only one person who should be drawn wearing adam's coca-cola t-shirt and it is not adam
people are literally so boring a male character will kill 10000 people and steal candy from babies and theyll be like omg thats my king! but a female character is rude once and theyre like i hope she dies violently
Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Raven Cycle - Maggie Stiefvater Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Ronan Lynch/Adam Parrish, Ronan Lynch & Blue Sargent Characters: Ronan Lynch, Blue Sargent, Adam Parrish, Richard Gansey III Additional Tags: Alternate Universe- No Supernatural, Wedding Planning, Mistaken Identity, Meet-Cute, Fluff, Humor, background Gansey/Cheng Summary:
Ronan hates basically everything about their business, or that’s what he tells Blue, but the worst part is that he’s constantly meeting cute guys and none of them are single.
Also, he’s a little bit dead.
dear tumblr mutuals i think you are really cool thanks for giving me notes and posting cool stuff i'm sorry that i'm awkward and probably forget why i'm following you but you're all really cool :D
I like that Adam canonically makes gay jokes at ronan to rile him up, like he’s such a bitch if love it
Obviously the “I’m always straight” “oh man that’s the biggest lie you’ve ever told” is the most iconic one but my fav is in bllb
When Adam and ronan r in the dollar store before the church stuff, and ronan points out piper green mantle, Adam like “I didn’t think she was ur type” like stfu Adam I love u 😭
sometimes i randomly remember how insane maggie stiefvater was for making ronan lynch—a man that can create reality—a man of god, when he himself is a god of a man. then to take this man and have him be not only in love with, but a literal soulmate of a man named adam. parrish. adam parrish. who, mind you, lives above ronan's very own place of worship. and is the namesake of the first of mankind that the bible says god made from the literal dust of the ground (adam parrish: comes from nothing, hair "dusty" in color) and appoints him to care for the garden of eden (adam parrish: sacrifices himself to ronan's sentient forest). then has adam viewing ronan as a god and ronan saying "maybe he dreamt (created)" adam???? like who just fucking writes that and goes about their life?
Touch
I keep thinking about your Michael survives au doorkeay, they’re so beautifully tragic!! Did they start to date before Gerry’s death or should I shed a couple more tears?
Gosh I’m not heartless, of course these two get their time together in this AU. Now, does that make it less or more tragic for later on? I dunno! 🤗 that’s subjective!
I finished the raven cycle and I have SO MANY THOUGHTS
this series has the best portrayal of platonic love I've ever seen, the relationships between all the characters felt so natural and incredibly well written. none of the transitions to romantic relationships felt forced because it seemed so obvious "of course they love eachother, EVERYONE loves EVERYONE"
So obviously my love for all of these characters is unmatched but I would commit unspeakable crimes for blue sargent
Piper as an antagonist???? amazing beautiful perfect. her being manipulated by the demon was so cool to see, her transition from being green mantles wife with a semi normal life to "yo dad wassup just murdered my husband and found a new pet *holds up demon* isn't it cute?"
Noah my poor baby boi
stavinsky may have been a horrible person but he was a super interesting character
Chainsaw is the bestest bird to ever bird
gansey and blues relationship and adam and ronans relationship were both amazing and sweet and perfect
obsessed with opal as a short story, Adam and Ronan get to have these super sweet and sad moments in the background meanwhile opal's telling the real important story: her dangerous quest to drink windshield wiper fluid and honestly I'm here for it
i will give a small bit of criticism: the pacing did feel a little bit rushed in some places and there was some jumping around that didn't make a ton of sense
BUT IM IGNORING THAT BECAUSE SEARCHING FOR A LONG DEAD WELSH KING IS SUCH AN AWESOME STORY CONCEPT
Henry Cheng: amazing 10/10 no criticism I just love him
there were some points where I was ready to crawl through the pages and fight adam's father myself
and finally a fandom note: just learned that the main ship names are bluesey and pynch and that is so amazing I love that so much
probably the best parallel between bluesey and pynch is that for Blue and Adam, this story is Pride & Prejudice level rivals-to-lovers - each of them going “fuck, him? really? him??” every step of the way - whereas Gansey and Ronan were both immediately and irrevocably in love
Fav lil siblings 💙🖤
