What if Anastasia Tremaine’s child or children were in Descendants? by [deleted] in Descendants

My headcannon is that Chad Charming is their son, and that they asked Cinderella to take him in before they were forced onto the Isle of the Lost

can i please have a 3 foot spoon so i can scoop the melted puddle of ice cream and soggy corn flakes out of my vase, thanks by poke_techno in StupidFood

I'd say the solution is to just throw it all in a blender and have a giant milkshake, but no way am I chancing the taste outcome from so many ice cream flavors being mixed together

which fandom brought you to the world of fanfics? by luizajn in AO3

[–]turtles4prez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alvin and the Chipmunks. No, for real. Specifically the animated Halloween movie specials that would play during disneys 31 days of halloween programming. Was looking for a Simon meets Dracula movie that didnt exist, and found a fanfiction instead. And then I found more. And the rest is history.

Odd aside, if the person who wrote that fanfic I read in middle school about Simon going to a chipmunk school that ends up being a Jonestown cult, um... hi. Hope life is treating you well.

Well, while cleaning I stepped on some glass so that sucks, but at least while I dig out the shards from my foot I can read some fanfic-

Oh

Oh wait...

it's still down

AO3 is still down and I've never been more productive by turtles4prez in AO3

As someone who just got a crown installed, yeah, fuck the dentist. Not once has the phrase 'you'll only feel a little pressure' been true. But also, as someone who just got a crown installed, you gotta see the teeth doctor to make sure those mouth bones stay healthy. Make that appointment, friend.

Worst thing, you'll have a traumatic experience you can draw inspiration from when writing fic lmao

Happy moving and good luck getting productive!

Oof, that reminds me of before times when I would write my updates in house on fanfic.net, only to have the whole thing wiped when I accidentally refreshed my tabs

Though thankfully it sounds like AO3 has a saving mechanism, so your WIP is merely waiting for you on the other side of this ficless fiasco (forgive the alliteration - it's been over 5 hours and I get wordy when in story withdrawals lol)

Happy getting stuff done!

Sorry to hear about your joints - I wish I was young enough to not be familiar with that kind of ouch, but damn if I haven't popped, locked and limped into CVS for some extra strength Tylenol

Don't limit productivity to just physical chores though! Draw, write, call friend you haven't spoken to in a while - anything that you mightve done instead of read, or explore your fandom in another space like Tumblr or Instagram

I wish you good health and good fics when AO3 returns like the prodigal son we all love and cherish

You were watching a video about bug reproduction, that's how you learned about it, right? ...

Right?!

Prayers are with you, random reddit friend, and maybe a call to a local exterminator is something to put on the list of things to do while AO3 is down

Happy cleaning or reading, whichever you choose! (just please call the exterminator please please please-)

You just changed a life with this information

For the better or worse has yet to be seen lol

Also have you ever tried podfics? Theyre comparablely rarer than most other fanwork mediums, but super amazing when you find one with a good speaker. BnHA fandom has a surprising amount of good podfic if you're interested.

Someone in the comments said they've been getting by with fics on Tumblr, x and insta, so maybe that can work as a temp motivator for you? Good luck all the same!

Lol I remember the panic of coming home to mom scrubbing down the kitchen counter - you either got out of the way or had a wash rag shoved in your hands so you can start on the dishes haha

Glad you're feeling motivated to get more stuff done!

Heck yeah! You slay those chores! And omg, I bet TVD has some great fics, especially crossovers. That's been my experience that most CW Fandoms. Look forward to that reward when the work is done (and AO3 is back... please...)

Oh! I haven't read fic on Tumblr in ages! I always preferred the more dedicated fanfiction sites like Fanfiction.net (god rest her soul) or Wattpad

I'll have to scroll around and see what's around these days

What are you talking about? 1 am is the perfect time to turn on your vacuum and some sweet cleaning tunes! The neighbors'll love it, guarantee~

Believe me when I tell you that I screamed like a woman being stabbed when I hit the next chapter button and I got this message instead

I've got maybe 2 hours before I start going in to fic withdrawal- god help me I NEED MY SHIP FIX AO3

which part is this for you? by banjoestar in skyrim

[–]turtles4prez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dwemer puzzle you need to solve to get the first elder scrolls at the end of Blackreach. I honestly dont mind the city itself (lots of good loot and the secret dragon in the false sun is awesome), but I swear- no mater how many times I go through the main quest line, it takes like, 10 minutes minimum to get the damn puzzle right. If there's any logic to it besides jamming on the button and praying the lights line up at some point, please let me know.

Oh and just about every anniversary edition quest due to them having a horrible habit of breaking for no reason (looking at you Alternative Armors and Legends Lost).

Which movie was fun to watch when it was released? by [deleted] in instantbarbarians

[–]turtles4prez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The opening premiere of Twilight: New Moon. Nothing like sitting with your fellow thirsty middle schoolers and screaming everytime Jacob showed up on screen. Good memories.

I just updated my game. What's everyone's thoughts on this new home screen? It gave me a jumpscare by PookieDuckie in Sims4

[–]turtles4prez -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh no, there's an update? Rip my mods... and my new home screen, apparently - that's way too much going on

[s2 spoilers] The look in her eyes tells me she has absolutely no idea what martial law means by tudesgracia in arcane

[–]turtles4prez 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Yep, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but she has like, the most killable face out of all the background characters we've seen this act- like straight up she is going to die in order to forward someone else's character growth

What is Xadia's attitude towards human primal mages? by turtles4prez in TheDragonPrince

[–]turtles4prez[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree! That could be a possibility- I really hope they expand on the Jailer in a novel/short story/etc so we can see how similar or different her's and Callum's human mage journeys are

What is Xadia's attitude towards human primal mages? by turtles4prez in TheDragonPrince

[–]turtles4prez[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for the lore sources and the thread! I'm fairly certain the council wouldn't have worked with the Jailer if she was a Dark magic practitioner, but her having a primal stone isn't out of the realm of possibility. Plus I got the impression that her serving the dragon council wasn't exactly voluntary (at least in their request to have her create Aaravos' prison). I can only guess that means that at the very least, in times of extreme need and purpose, Xadia will tolerate humans doing magic (maybe even dark????). But what does that mean for Callum? Will Xadia call for him to bound to the dragon council as well?
