It's neat to think that the reason the dreamers became such is because they were loyal to the people they had ward over first and foremost
Herrah as deepnest's queen is loyal to her people, integrating the metal crests of the devours and the weavers in the den
Monotone, who set up her archive as neutral ground is loyal to those that she taught
Lurien, while loyal to the king, is suggested by the decoration in his main chamber to be loyal to hallownest and its people first
They all care about the people under them before they care for anything else
For all their differences, it's really telling that all three Dreamers became Seals because of the exact same reason.
I'll love to see the fandom explore this aspect of the Dreamers. Think of all the fluff and angst one can create in the fandom while drawing on canon!
Penelope: I had the weirdest dream last night. An eagle swooped down from the heavens and killed 20 geese.
Odysseus, disguised as a beggar: Well, fair queen, clearly this means that your husband is coming home and will kill your suitors.
Penelope: If only there was a way to tell the eagle to hurry the fuck up.
Odysseus:
Penelope: *dumps a bunch of weapons at Odysseus’s feet*
Penelope: Clumsy me
May she rest in peace, where no shadows fall...
@ddagent always finds the loveliest pics of Mira ❤️
Forever in love with this luminous, incredible woman who rose above the pain and horrors of this world to leave a lasting legacy of love and hope, light and compassion, of belief that a more peaceful, just world is possible if we fight for it. Through her acting, her writing, her music, her activism, she gives me hope and faith in the beauty of shining a light in the darkest places, of having the courage to stand up and loudly speak the truth when everyone around you wants to (literally) destroy you for it. I just cannot comprehend the sheer, unadulterated, unyielding strength that takes.
A beautiful soul, indeed.
Forever grateful for discovering Babylon 5 and falling in love with Delenn, and through her, finding that Mira was just as much a badass in actuality as the fictional one she played on TV.
How can something be so cute and so cool at the same time?
origin forme dialga and palkia redesigns??🤨
This weird thing happened to me too. It was nice at first because "Ahh! 😃 Someone likes my work!" To "Wait da second? Why is this person commenting on how moving my writing is on my fanfic where I just post pictures? 😵"
Out of all the spammers I got, these bots were the nicest. (Especially after the panderers attempting to snag kids on my PG fanfic. 😡) But I still wish the person wrote a real comment actually praising parts of my work. (Again, praising me for moving writing on the fanfic with only artwork [not a comic], didn't even mention the AU the pictures were for)
Good news, haven't seen the bots in months. If they show up tomorrow, a work is getting put on private.
Any other AO3 writers getting spammed by comments that actually look like real comments but are rather… repetitive? They’re nice, effusive even, but after the second or third one I got suspicious. Not sure what the point of them is. Can’t find any links or anything that would make it a trap. Any ideas?
The wet cat tree.
You have no idea how many people lurk on your work. No idea how many times people go back to revisit your work. How big they smile when they simply think about your work. How fast their heart beats, how excited they get when they see that you posted something.
People are shy with their feedback. Sometimes it’s because they’re simply shy. Other times it’s because they assume you already know how great and talented you are. Could be both.
My point is, even if you barely have any likes or reblogs, don’t get discouraged. You have a lot of silent fans, but they are still your fans. Keep on creating. Because there is always someone out there who will love what you have made.
Editing my Dreamers' Houses essay and my goodness, it made me realize how much fight is still left in the Dreamers.
Herrah is all spent, only thinking about her daughter. Unfortunately, there isn't anyone else except Midwife in the Distant Village.
Why?
All the Weavers decided that being Infected, losing your mind while your body attacks anything that moves, was worse than literal slavery. Only those most devoted to Herrah remained...and all of them got infected.
Monomon has no fight...except to argue with Lurien. But have you considered that she has nothing left to fight for?
There is literally NO ONE in her Archives except her infected Uummu, Uomas, and Oomas. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF HER STUDENTS IS DEAD BEFORE THE GAME EVEN STARTED. Except Quirrel. Quirrel whom she calls back to finally rest.
Lurien has the most fight...and yes, the Spire doesn't have a single known person still themselves in the Infection. But what about Lurien's whole City?
Yes, yes, the noble side is completely Infected and the Soul Master kidnapped and drained more than half of the citizens belonging to the left side of the City, BUT there are still free people!
The Nailsmith! Eternal Emilitia! Even Lemm, a newcomer to his City! And goodness, the Collector! And grubbies. Can't forget the grubs.
If you go down a bit further, then there's Orgrim, Tuk, and the Fluke Hermit!
Lurien still has people! People with Names! Hopes! And Dreams free from the Radiance!
And if you expand Lurien's care from the City to Hallownest (which isn't a stretch considering how Lurien is so patriotic for his kingdom) then every free bug in Hallownest is his too.
Now here's a question, does Lurien still care about his butler who is Infected? About every single of his servants and friends under the Radiance's spell? If so, what about every captured citizen of Hallownest?
If so, then Lurien is fighting for them too, just like we do for Myla. Fighting and Hoping against Hope itself that they all can be saved one day.
This came as no surprise to me. What knocked me out was realizing that Monomon's efforts were for nothing. Becoming a Dreamer for her students and keep Hallownest united only for everyone to die anyway??? No wonder she was done.

How much chaos (or cuteness) will ensue once Lurien the Watcher finds and adopts Ghost?
