and I enjoyed your commentary while discovering them lol

I just read a lot more today and boy oh boy I’m enjoying the hell out of this book.

I like to think that he turned down that bribe for a captaincy because he just loves hanging around with Thrawn THAT MUCH.

Also, I have a theory that Thrawn’s social missteps/language barrier issues aren’t because of his lingering problems with Basic, but because he’s just straight up bad at talking to people. I could be wrong about that though. Maybe the Chiss are Like That and Thrawn’s actually the most popular girl in school or something.

Okay *break knuckles* I'll talk about xmcu cherik because that's the version I have been invested for years.

Their relationship are fascinating because for all their differences, they can't pull away from the others. If there is term to explain their relationship is inmoveable object vs unstoppable force.

They were strangers that grew into strong friendship/partnerahip and fell in love (y'all can take this away from my cold dead hands) but then more than their feeling, their ideals become the things that stood in their relationship and the beach divorce happens and Charles lost the function of his legs.

From then on their relationship become so complicated. They become actual enemies and still have very different ideals, resentment, pain, anger and yet still very much loves each other. Their relationship compelling because it's realistic and very painful imo. There is always up and down, also because their differents ideals they often decide to stay away from the other even tho they need each other. That's why I am glad for XMDP (for all it flaws) ending because it's time for them to walk together instead in opposite of the others path.

Happy BirthBay my dearest @mortallwarlock! <3

Thank you for being one of my amazing friends and always making the best drawings! May this day be filled with allllllll the love, presents and cake! <3

(Disclaimer: This is short and not that great. I have been feeling ill lately, so my brain is being shitty... I just hope it makes sense...)

(Inspired by a tweet by the lovely @mortallwarlock, Asked for Malec dancing in the rain... I hope I did it justice. Hope you enjoy dear! <3 )

(Not beta’d as this was just a quick little piece... I may make it better later when I feel better.)

It’s a nice summer day, the sun high in the sky, just the perfect amount of clouds, and two men completely in love curled together in the window nook reading together. It is one of the best days they have had in a while. Finally a break from the dark and gloomy life of hunting and killing demons. A break from dealing with clients who believe they are entitled to ever drop of Magic you can give. No orders being barked out every few minutes, not lives that need saving, not that they mind being heroes. But even a hero needs a break every now and then.

So it’s no wonder when the sky grows dark and the clouds turn gray, that the mood shifts. Alec getting a frown on his face immediately. Magnus turning to look at his boyfriend, smiles instead. He will not let that frown stay there. “Alexander, its only rain.”

“I know but when it rains I just can’t help but feel like I will be called back to the institute.” He sighs running a hand through his hair. Staring out the window watching the drops hit the pavement.

“Why? Rain does not mean imminent doom.”

“No, but try telling that to over a hundred paranoid Shadowhunters.”

Magnus shakes his head, “I only need to tell it to one, Alec. The rain is good. Fun really.”

“Fun?” Alec cocks an eyebrow at Magnus. “I don’t see how…”

Magnus grabs his hand and pulls him up. As he leads them outside he doesn’t even bother to grab them a coat or anything else to protect them from the water. Alec is concerned, Magnus may be immune to all regular mundane illnesses but he is not. “Aren’t you worried I might get sick?”

“Nope, already taken care of.” Magnus winks. He let’s go of Alec’s hand and steps into the rain. Immediately he is soaked from head to toe. “See, fun.”

“Magnus, you are standing in the rain. How is that fun?” Alec crosses his arms over his chest.

“Right forgive me, I forgot the best part.” He snaps his fingers and music plays out of nowhere. “Dance with me?”

Alec actually breaks out in a grin dropping his hands as he steps toward Magnus. When Alec is close enough Magnus reaches out taking him by the waist and pulling him to his chest. Both of them soaked now. Magnus takes Alec’s hand and they begin a slow movement to the music.

💕Happy Kiss-versary to Malec 💕 This fanart is inspired by @lecrit ’s amazing fanfiction Invictus Y'all go out there and read her work, it’s so touching and wonderful!

A shoutout to @mortallwarlock as well without whom I wouldn’t even know of it! Your art is amazing and inspiring, thanks so much!

Probably one of the best thing you introduce force me to me. The protagonist, Juno Steel, is a non-binary bisexual disaster with non-existent self-preservation (albeit i haven't forgive juno for shit he pull in S1 ending despite he is still my child) and listening to his journey is fascinating because for all his goodness, he a very broken person and in S1 his dynamic with Peter Nureyev are very compelling especially with the fact Peter is a master thief (a gentleman and flirty one, and very much hopeless romantic). Their relationship was like stranger to enemies to friends to somehow lover to undefineable. Since I also start S2 only recently I can't give full review but I am looking forward to the rest of it.
