Always Reading Books

A few recent scene redraws from the 2005 Pride and Prejudice film! One of my favorite movies ever.

Prints available in my shop!

Hello writers, friends, fanfic enjoyers, and all folk alike! With all of the excitement over acotar 6, I wanted to create a little challenge/activity to bring everyone together.

Have you seen those packages on etsy? The blind date books they now sell at target? Hand wrapped library selections? They’re everywhere! But we don’t have a fanfic equivalent… until now!

The idea is simple. Take one of your fics (or write a new one) and create a blind date for it. Include as much or as little info as you want about the fic to encourage readers to ‘check it out’ (get it, like checking out a book? Heh). Make sure you include the necessary links to ao3 etc., and tag the fics appropriately as needed.

Here’s mine as an example

Open to any and all canon ships, crack ships, x readers, oc fics, fics with no ships, and everything else i cant think of!

Bruce notices Damian getting very worried about it, and finds himself actively looking for another cat for the family

One day, Bruce finds this tiny, scrappy little sootball of a kitten. Damian is smitten and insists on paying for the vet visit out of his own pockets

The little scrappy thing is completely black from head to toe with a pink nose and bright blue eyes. Alfred the cat is immediately curious and sniffs the tiny kitten when Bruce brings him home

The little kitten becomes Alfred’s baby, also toddling and tumbling after him. Alfred the cat becomes such a good dad to him, also cuddling him and showing him the proper way to be a cat

+ PRYTHIAN’S PRETTIEST COUPLES ,

1. Lucien’s favorite alcoholic drink is whiskey. He likes old-fashioned, Summer-style whiskey lemonade, whiskey sours, Autumn-style hot toddy with cinnamon and honey, in his coffee, etc

2. He has insomnia and struggles to fall asleep. Probably gets 4-5 hours a sleep on a good day.

3. Is a big morning person: will call 8 am “sleeping in”. (Day Court heir rises with the sun!)

4. He is very fashionable (of course, we all know this) but he loves wearing mismatched socks. He has the biggest assortment of socks ever, including the fancy dress socks, hiking socks, fuzzy sleeping socks, and socks so old he sews patches in them

5. Knows how to sew and is pretty good at it. LoA taught him embroidery and he’ll embroider random leaves on his clothes when he’s bored.

6. Collects trinkets and always has a random assortment of things in his pocket: a cool stone he found; a key he stole from his brother and refuses to give it back after 200 years; a gem that popped off his knife handle; a rabbit’s foot, etc. He’s a lil crow for sure

7. Loves sleeping in hammocks. One of his go-tos when he goes camping by himself

8. Can juggle. Yes, I know, but picture him shirtless with his hair draping over his bare chest, his muscled arms moving elegantly as he juggles 5 flaming balls of fire 7 feet above his head…

9. Could not sit still as a kid. He was always running around and fiddling with stuff, kicking his feet when he sits, etc

10. Has his ears pierced (tbh I headcanon that most fae have their ears pierced. Fancy, excessive is a High Fae fashion)

11. Loves interior design. Constantly argues with Vassa about how to decorate the manor they occupy in the human lands; he HATES her taste

11.5. Modern headcanon: Lucien loves thrifting and always looks for vintage furniture, wall decor, etc at second-hand stops and estate sales.

12. Never liked hunting as a kid (family hunts were always torture for him) but he grew to appreciate it as a survival skill, as well as a way to enjoy and respect nature.

13. Was raised to worship the Mother, but disliked how his father’s court used it to oppress people. Lady of Autumn is religious and taught him the kind and true side of religion. The Mother and the Cauldron became a way for him to connect with his mother, especially after he ran from Autumn and couldn’t see her.

First music, then voice modifiers… Now this. Perfect.
