Intro Post Is Here

I promised myself I would make an intro post with my fic list when I hit a followers milestone, and lo and behold, the time has come to make good on that promise. 

(Breathe in. You got this, Dor. Ok, here we go.)

Welcome, friends. If you followed me sometime in the last year and a half, here’s a funny story for you: I used to write Witcher fics (a lot even, at one point) (and I pray I will write again, though at the moment brain be words what no speaky English). (But I digress.)

What you can find on my blog: shitposting, sarcasm, salt—and Ciri. A lot of Ciri. (Often tagged as: "brat <3". No reason.) Also, many Ciri pairings. We support most Ciri pairings in this house.

What you can find on my AO3: Also a lot of Ciri in different pairings, or sometimes in multiple pairings, as (a) I am a multishipper and (b) Ciri is bi and can do no wrong and (c) has two hands and a hatred for cages and also (d) poly/open relationships are the new love triangles and we need more of them, actually.

Specifically:

  • "Blood Ties" verse, aka Queen of Cintra verse (aka mammoth), or a 100k words novel in three parts about what happens if neither witchering nor ruling the empire (nor dying, I guess) fully satisfies our girl's ambitions. (Answer: let’s go and shake up the geopolitical landscape of the post-TW3 Continent, reclaim your throne, piss off Dijkstra in the process, make new allies and enemies both, grow and heal, get what you wanted, find indulgence, and also love. Ships aplenty, including some nobody else thought of. Just saying.)
  • "Broken Pieces" verse, or what happens if Cahir survives, but somewhat fails to move on (he tries), and Ciri fails to be indifferent (she also tries). (Answer: witchering shenanigans, but also some family reunions, Ceallach being a Smart Cookie, Geralt being the Daddest Dad, Ciri being a brat, but also right, but also needing a reality check and to get her head out of her ass. Spoiler alert: happy/bittersweet ending. It’s Witcher-verse, after all.)
  • "Splinters" verse, or what happens when the author develops a brainrot. (Answer: modern!AU with the main theme being: everyone is thirsty for Cahir/Eamon’s hands. Banter, pinning, thirst, smut, and more banter. Past that comes back to bite everyone in the ass, heartbreak, and a happy ending. Always a happy ending. And Angouleme being the Best Gremlin.)
  • “The Ghost of You”, or what happens when Ciri gets Ideas, and tries to use Cahir to get what she wants. (Formerly known as the Cancel WIP. Mind the tags with this one; set during LotL, unhealthy coping mechanisms aplenty, trauma and PTSD galore, leading to the first steps of healing. It’s always, always about healing with these two.)
  • “Sing To Me In The Dark”, or what happens if Cahir finds himself in Kaer Morhen to help defend it from the Hunt. (Answer: the author wants to know too. Although the author mostly knows, but brain no speaky English, see above.)
  • “Hunter’s Moon”, or what happened in Beauclair during the hansa stay there, from the point of view of a certain succubus. (Answer: a certain vampire attempting to be a smartass, not always succeeding; smut and banter, and more smut. Also, a heartbreak.)

If you like any of the above and tell me about it, chances are I’ll be making you a birthday gift the following year.

In the meantime, enjoy the shitposting, the salt, the sarcasm—and Ciri.

Return of the Jedi Deleted scene | Luke builds his lightsaber 
[T]he idea running throughout the whole trilogy is: First he’s given his father’s sword, because his father lost it in the fight with Ben Kenobi: Ben cut his hand off and Vader fell into the volcano, so Ben then pried the lazer sword out of the hand and kept it for the son. So then what the father did was cut his son’s hand and lazer sword off—and that was a way of severing the relationship between father and son. Not only did Luke lose his weapon and was castrated, but at the same time his father split that relationship. Luke was carrying his sword for his father. Now he is not doing that anymore. In this one, he’s built his own. He has built his own lazer sword; he is his own man, he is not a son anymore. He is an equal. (George Lucas to Howard Kazanjian, Richard Marquand, and Lawrence Kasdan during the Return of the Jedi story conference of July 1981, quoted in The Making of Return of the Jedi, J. W. Rinzler)

The Definitive, Correct Discworld Reading Order:

  1. The book given to you by a friend or relative
  2. Whatever they have available at your local library
  3. Whatever they have available at your local bookstore
  4. Recommendation from a friend (not the original one who got you started)
  5. Reread your favorite again
  6. Fill in the rest as you go along

pluribus spoilers ahead cause i need to tell someone that when vince gilligan was altering his concept to be about women instead of men i really really think that shouldve included manousos... not to take away from the actual lesbianism that occurs on the show but manousos the machorra very much shouldve been on that yuribus... imagine carol sturka having to pull out the cover of her book a second time when yet another tall woman with dark features shows up at her door, and this time the woman literally has a sword a machete on her hip. proud stubborn manousos who just braved 9000 kilometers of untold dangers just to speak to her. sexy butch manousos who is more like a genuine real-life raban than any alien hivemind could ever be like do you fucking get me do you understand

manousos the bucha who ran that storage unit facility like it was the navy... imagine

ISB Agent: What do you call disobeying the law?
Mon Mothma: A hobby
ISB Agent: *crosses their arms*
Mon: That I do not engage in
