'Gideon the Ninth is dark academia' this, 'Gideon the Ninth is a space opera' that

WRONG

Gideon the Ninth is the novelisation of the logical end point of Taskmaster New Zealand

hot singles with empty blogs in your area won't stop following you! you can't block them fast enough! it's too late! they have taken the bridge and the second hall. we have barred the gates, but cannot hold them for long. the ground shakes... drums. drums in the deep. we cannot get out. a shadow moves in the dark... we cannot get out. they are coming.

CodyWan Fic Recs

Dedicated to @journen, who asked me for a few CodyWan recs and here I am showing up with a long rambling post (sorry 😅), and because she has no doubt inspired more Star Wars fics than anyone else on the planet by way of her art - it’s so amazing, y’all! If you don’t already know her, do yourselves a favor and check out Journen’s work - it’s breathtaking okay.

And also dedicated to @theproblemwithstardust, because she is the one who introduced me to them a couple months ago, and introduced me to my absolute favorite CodyWan fic of all time, the first one I rec down below. She pulled me into the CodyWan pit, and I’ve been enjoying myself so much the whole way down, so thank you Jack :D

Without further ado, here we go!

(I put it under a read more to save y’all’s dashboards lol)

“‘Cause I’m More Than What My Mum Told Me To Be”

“I'm learning to be So much more than my tiredness:”

“Just remember those wicked words your mother used to say; Pick your chords well, loves, but sing your notes off key, Your dad will forget the words (and uh, fucking bastard, what is it?), And if your voice begins to crack and you ever feel alone, They might laugh because you're leaving, But know we'll sing your name when you come home”

“Tomorrow's jokes have yet to be laughed at or said, You don't have to be brilliant; You're not a coward 'cause you cower, You're brave because they broke you, Yet broken still you breathe … Then the hollow folk pour me another shard full of glass, And I toast to their talents and I forgive them at last, ‘Cause I know, oh, I know, I know ; You are in the earth of me … But now I'm leading, doesn't that just scare you to death?”

“So long to the person you begged me to be; She's down, she's dead … Our gods have abandoned us, left us instead”

“And to those gods, I will speak bluntly, We've an accord, if you ever touch or harm him; Please, rest assured that you might not fear a man, But to a woman, by the end, you'll kneel and plea, 'Cause I'm more than what my mum told me to be. And I can hear her sing”

“Pick your chords well, loves, but sing your notes off key; You can't rehearse the chorus, but the verse is sweet”

“sing louder than you've sung for me; Grow young each time that thunder in your lungs Begins to rumble at the world; ‘Cause you were always strong … When you were young, you'd kick things just to see if they would fall; They said, "That girl, she's wrong", But I'll stick up for you, … And I'm so proud of you, And when they laugh at us … louder, I'll scream back to you … And say, I know you're strong enough, I know you're strong enough, I know you're strong enough to do this on your own.”

“Remember (what?) today, that you are loved.” “Remember (please), today you're enough.”

there’s a special place in my heart for joey batey pleading “give me two damn minutes and I’ll be fine” for five minutes straight. they could have made that a two-minute song but they didn’t and it’s perfect

modern-with-magic au where geralt is like a one-person paranormal home inspector team and yeah sometimes it's a wraith or whatever but do you know how many times he's had to explain, like, basic facts about wildlife. and plumbing. he's like "for sure you're not haunted" and people are like "haha no no no I'm definitely haunted there's no other explanation" and he just stares at them like. "buddy. listen. ghosts are real. wraiths are real. necrophages are real. shit, I had to clear out a lower vampire nest in someone's attic two weeks ago. I've been doing this job for 400 years and I am telling you, with absolute certainty, that your problem is squirrels."

GOOD MORNING TO THIS, THE BEST OF IDEAS!!!!!

He has a car bumper sticker saying

Get a carbon monoxide detector

Someone please write this

@thebibliosphere in this au geralt and you are one person

I’ve been tagged in this so many times now I can feel the plot bunnies gnawing at my brain. 

Jaskier is his secretary.

Or is Jaskier a vlogger who is trying to make Geralt renowned, but largely bugs Geralt while he’s being attacked by raccoons. And the first time Jaskier is like “I got this, boo. Obviously these are bats!” and crawls into an attic with complete confidence, it’s a leshen.

*muffled screaming and loud banging from attic*

Geralt: (1) I’m not your boo, (2) I thought you said you had this.
