I finally watched all 56 episodes of OUAWL (thank god) and I was wondering if you had any fic’s you would recommend? I know withdrawal will be hitting me soon and I want to have some back up stuff just in case!
Sure! Lemme look through my ao3 history lol (it's MOSTLY gonna be coalecroux ngl)
(EXPLICIT) Okay firstly, HAVE to reccomend I Like It When You Lie and its WIP sequel, What Lies Between Us by @sweet-reaper
They're 109k and (currently) 135k respectively, and they're GORGEOUS! The plot is enticing and feels like a proper extension of OUAW itself, and my art made it into the first one!! Great great reads
(TEEN) THE CLASS ACTION DIVORCE OF GIDEON COAL. IS SO FUCKING FUNNY. theres a bit of drama and it feels sorta fast sometimes, but its unironically so entertaining I can't reccomend it enough. I'm glad someone else noticed when Gideon offhandedly mentioned how many marriages he's had before the carnival hfjskfs
(EXPLICIT) What Happened on Grizzlepaw Mountain by @copperboltsblog is really good! It was pretty refreshing to see coalecroux get together pre-canon for once
(EXPLICIT) OBVIOUSLY have to mention Just a Little Bit Mine by @ledetlore, I love their interpretation of Kremy's mom sooo much! The sequel fic Hitching Buckles & Hitching Breaths also looks great but I haven't started it yet...
(NO RATING, MATURE) And then an honorable mention for not a lot, just forever and Weaving Wildfire, by ledetlore and sweet-reaper respectively, which were both gifted to me based on my fankid Lillian and my Gideon braid headcanon <33
(coughs. there's also my own fic, Taking Notes(teen), but i remain humble)
I am SCRAMBLING to finish Icebound for the new session on Saturday but I'm on episode 23 and super busy so I probably won't make it. Hopefully I can finish before the vod is gone from twitch to see the Avantris and Chill and stuff but idk about this one
HAPPY ACE WEEK!
Have some bracelets I made I guess
happy wednesday to all my fellow aroace folks
All the LoA players having a theme for their character is my fav ever:

Mikey:
Recovering alcoholics
Derek:
The most insanely beautiful women you have ever seen and Leboosh
Mace:
Himbo
Nickie:
Girlboss (usually on the verge of starting a war)
Kelsey:
Women who love to kiss women (usually women who are bad for them)
Andy:
Twinks with an anxiety disorder
spoiler warning for episode 36 of Once Upon a Witchlight!
I cannot believe they just… created democracy and stabilized a political system? What? Huh?
Continuing my headcanons about the Krew's family and early childhoods, I present to you Gideon and his father, Nathaniel Cole (and yes, the spelling is intentional)
Just to restate, I know very little about their canon backstories as I'm only about halfway through the series still, so please keep that in mind as you read <3
I envision that Gideon grew up in a teeny tiny farming village, settled neatly in wide plains in the middle of nowhere. Think 1930s American manifest destiny, yknow? Max 200 people, and only 20-30 families at most.
Gideon's father, Nathaniel Cole, was poor for his entire life, and that was actually how he got involved with Gideon's mother; he sought out a powerful being, hoping that he would be granted all he desired. He had asked her for wealth, more than he could ever measure, and in typical genie fashion she twisted his words and granted him wealth in the form of love, giving him a son.
Personality-wise, I think Nathaniel was a very quiet man, hard working and stone faced. A classic "manly man" if you will. He tried his best to protect his small family and led by example. He encouraged Gideon to work hard for himself, hopeful of him going on to live a kinder life than his own. He was someone that Gideon looked up to greatly as a child, and not just because there were so few other people in his life; after escaping the clutches of the hobgoblins and meeting up with Kremy, he adopted his father's name as his own middle name
Nathaniel had already had trouble finding work, but now between caring for a child and his poor reputation after consorting with an efreeti, it was near impossible. He was lucky enough to find work on the ranch of a relatively wealthy family, the Connors, where Gideon spent his very early life and eventually ended up working himself when he was a little older.
The townsfolk largely held him at an arms length, afraid of what destruction he might cause between his genie heritage and his intrinsic fire. Like his father, he gained a poor reputation in the village that spread far outside the city limits after a railway was built adjacent to the town early in Gideon's youth, and that was how the hobgoblins caught wind of his existence; you all know how the rest of that story goes.
I’m just sitting here trying to watch Icebound Side Story 2, and instead I get jump-scared by smooth Derek
All the random things, probably mostly Marauders, aroace stuff, EPIC, Legends of Avantris, and writing but who knows
