An Old Forest

I don't thing he has to be evil but I do think he is going to be the villian of the story. Maybe All the other elves saw humanity as beneath them and he thought it was wrong. Maybe he tried to help but instead of teaching them primal magic they learned dark magic and he was banned for helping. Now he wants revenge? I don't know maybe it's just the point that I always try and see the good in people. (Not necessarily a good trait)

Aaravos’ Backstory: TDP Foreshadowing

So guys, I am a big nerd who loves foreshadowing in fantasy. While watching Season 2 of TDP, I took screenshots of the books Viren found in the library when he was trying to look up Aaravos, just in case they were decipherable…

And this book looks like it was written in a Germanic language!

So I typed the words into Google Translate, and they’re in Danish!

(TDP fans who actually speak Danish, please forgive me for this terrible google translate job. And fix my mistakes if you want, because I’m not sure I spelled anything correctly. XD)

From the top of the first screenshot:

From the second screenshot (same page; this screenshot was easier to read):

Conclusions:

Aaravos is super powerful

In the past, he helped one group of people fight another. From the way this is written, he probably helped the humans fight the elves.

The author says they have never heard a name like Aaravos before (they’re not an elf) and that others call their people “inferior.” Sometimes humans are perceived this way in the show because they can’t do magic. Aaravos encouraged the author’s people to take control of their destiny.

He also gave them “awards.” I looked up “foraæringerne” and I think “gifts” is a better translation. He gave humans magic? Weapons? Magical weapons? Maybe he taught them dark magic!

This reinforces the already convincing theory that he’s a villain

@aceroruga clarified for me that “indbildskehed” means vanity or conceit. “They must pay for their vanity,” yikes!

@fallkos clarified that “bygge vones fremtid” means “build our future.” Ironically, that’s what Google Translate wrote before I changed the spelling of some other word. The algorithm was working against me lmao

The TDP team has mastered foreshadowing

I am going to sleep now

EDIT: The second book is in Arabic, and @restuffedants translated the screenshot!

Am I the only one who always has to grin/snort when I see that image? It's so funny to me I don't really know. XD

She saw her moment and got glossed up for it

Isn't Mandalore all about the will of the people? So when there is Bo and obi with Jango the people mostly rally behind them and both sides call for Satine to step down, which she eventually has to because you can't rule people who don't wanna be ruled if you're not gonna use violence. So then there would be a power vacuum because neither Bo nor Obi (or Jango??? I dunno) can definitely claim the throne and Bo challenges them which would be the time when Jango gets kidnapped?

If you want me to stop making suggestions please tell me, this is your story and I don't want to be rude or anything

@1elysium​ the dha kar’ta post was super heckin long, so i thought i’d answer you over here!

i can’t speak for fiori, but i’m so glad you’re enjoying it!! this au already means a lot to me, and the support for it so quickly has been amazing, both on here and ao3. I’m thinking between two and three years between Illum and Jango meeting them! i need time for Obi to build a relationship with Dooku and Anakin, and Dha lol. 

i haven’t given much thought to Obi taking a padawan, because i haven’t solidified my wants for the clones just yet. you’re right, they started them right about the time of the invasion of Naboo, but since Dooku was the one to orchestrate getting Jango involved, i don’t see that happening in this ‘verse. which breaks my feckin heart cause i LOVE the clones and Boba and i definitely implied in the force visions that Boba was a possibility, but i can’t figure out how to make it work 😭if Obi were to take a padawan, ahsoka is definitely a possibility, but savage has also crossed my mind. but yes he would absolutely raise them as Mando’ade Jedi. 

as for Dooku being involved with Palps, i’ve actually been thinking about that! i think he’s suspicious yes, but that’s the thing about a sith lord, he can warp people’s perceptions of him and his actions, and he has a lot of power that the council is beholden to, and Dooku IS a little busy trying to keep his other dumbass grandson alive. so while he’s still with the order, he’s off planet a LOT even before Jango searches them out.

now, that being said, Anakin is an eldritch force vessel in this, which he was not in the canon timeline. the force is semi-sentient and endless and exists on multiple layers of spice-time and is basically fucking canon in an attempt to keep Obi-Wan alive. which means it can’t allow Anakin to fall. which means Palps has less icky fingers in Anakin’s brain and while Anakin might not be totally aware of his status as a vessel, he knows to trust the force because on Tatooine, that’s all he had. i’ll save my other thoughts for the actual fic, but while Palps does manipulate Anakin to an extent, he doesn’t have nearly as strong a foothold.

and @theclonewarsbrokeme​ because this story is your baby too

Imagine Steve bringing the Soulstone back

And meeting red skull

One of my fav Wei Ying things is the fact that he hears the murmur of resentful energy and ghosts

And for sure he hears screaming, wailing, and all sorts of bad stuff - but what if, as the ghosts realize he can hear them (in the Burial Mounds timeline), they begin telling him various other things, such as:

"Wei Wuxian...... eat something....."

"Wei Wuxian....... too much wine......"

"Wei Wuxian........ go to sleep....."

"Wei Wuxian..... Hanguang-Jun wants to kiss you....."

This is a test for Ruby lol

He looks so hurt 😢

you ever take off your noise cancelling headphones and sounds are like, sounds, so you put your noise cancelling headphones back on

All of those are brilliant.

Standalone Fics - Jen (ConsultingWriters)

This is a masterpost of all my standalone fics from the last three years! Am taking the liberty of reposting, as my posts have not been showing up for many people in fandom tags (which I’ve now fixed). Ratings and warnings vary.

Thank you so much, everybody who has been supporting me for these three years.

SO! In descending order of popularity…

Remember Me

Summary: Bond has lost his memory. Q has lost his love.

“What have I forgotten?” Bond asked; Q watched him, trying to find the James he knew.

“Nothing that you won’t work out on your own, if it’s really important,” Q said carefully, before returning every fraction of his attention to the computer in front of him.

—

A Programmer in Q-Branch

His name was Oliver, he was a programmer in Q branch, he had no access to classified files…

Sherlock Holmes is contacted by his elder brother. The Quartermaster of MI6 has been abducted, and Mycroft is insistent that Sherlock finds him. Sherlock, John, and a rather overzealous 00 agent, attempt to find him before Q shatters.

—

Beautiful Broken Creatures

Q is a hooker. James Bond is in love.

The boy is sharp in all of the right places. His spine is bent in an entrancing curve, leant against the lamp-post, shadows pooling in the indented hollows of his face. He is too-pale, the flush high on his cheekbones from the cold, lips bitten so they retain a deep fuchsia stain.

—

The Art of Ownership

Q is Bond’s Omega, and happily so; Omegas live in a dangerous world, however. Ownership can be won and lost far too easily.

Every Omega’s greatest fear: to be claimed, and forgotten. To belong entirely to somebody else, but cease to matter.

—

The Battlefield

Every year, MI6 goes through the single most stressful, highly-anticipated, important event in their calendar.

The inter-departmental paintball fight.

There was only one rule: no lasting physical harm. Beyond that, everybody went quite categorically insane over the entire affair.

—

Identity

Q, the Quartermaster of MI6, has dissociative identity disorder.

—

FAO: Q-branch

Christmas is a catalyst for relationships, including the rather tempestuous one between 007 and Q.

I appreciate that it is a few short weeks away from Christmas. However, the next person who attempts to place mistletoe in my general vicinity will find their equipment mutilated by viruses which will mysteriously survive any and all attempts to be removed, and will probably outlive your grandchildren.

—

The Issues of Dating a Holmes

John and Sherlock go on a double date with Q and Bond. Which really, was one of the worst ideas anybody had ever come up with in recorded history.

—

Confined Spaces

The recording light of the camera remains steady, constant, and Q conducts conversations with empty air.

His voice is a thin rasp. “I don’t know if you can hear this, but I think you probably can,” he muses. His throat hurts. “If it’s just going back to Chris then fine, but if you’re there, then hi.”

Q manages a small, fragile smile that doesn’t come near his eyes.

—

Blood and Salt

Q has lung cancer.

Never had he needed to watch anybody die like this.

—

First Name Terms

Bond could count the number of times Q called him by his first name on the fingers of one hand.

—

The Fandom has Attacked

The James Bond initiative had been created as a way of romanticising MI6. Turning failed missions into myths. Keeping ‘James Bond’ a figurehead - an idea, not a person. The legacy of MI6 without the reality.

The Skyfall incident was made into a film. And now, Q has discovered something… rather frightening.

—

Trigger

Q fakes his own suicide, and a devastated Bond needs to understand why.

Loving Q had been water in a storm; too much. Bond had drowned in it, more willingly than he wanted to admit, dying in Q, with Q, knowing Q was drowning with him, neither wanting to go.

—

Young and Beautiful

It would have been kinder, Q thinks, a long time later, if we had both died young.

And that’s the lot, guys and dolls! Hope you enjoy. Jen.
