Art by Essi Välimäki

being self aware suuuucks like yeah this thought pattern/behavior is stupid and pointless and a symptom. i know this. [does it anyways

I've been going around asking my favorite writers for fics recs so now it's your turn: Got any fic recs?

I had to stare at this message for like a solid minute before it computed in my brain that you called me one of your favorite writers that’s so amazing oh my goodness thank you so much!

Here’s my first recommendation: Go to ao3 and just go into the miraculous ladybug tag and read whatever you find there. Seriously. 

This fandom produces some amazing content and I can’t keep up with it all. Sometimes I just go into the tag and pick a random work and I love it almost every time. (The times I don’t love it are the times I pick angst and want to die, but there’s love there too. Just a pained love.)

Other than that, I’m just going to recommend any fic by any of these people (or all of them, really), but especially:

things left unsaid by @tei-gen (Ao3 profile)

Do you want your heart ripped out? Do you want to cry yourself to sleep every night? Read Tei’s stuff and despair. For such a nice person, the stories are incredibly cruel. (In the best way possible.)

weaving red strings and he’s not a siren by @miraculousturtle (Ao3 profile)

Ana has immaculate detail and beautiful descriptive prose, and also is just really really nice and I appreciate her existence. I picked two of the more fluffy pieces of hers (the second is a mermaid AU and is fantastic), but she will also rip your heart out and stomp on it, if you like that kind of thing.

Pickup Lines by @mirthalia (Ao3 profile)

First, Mirth is a delight. Second, this fic is everything I’ve ever wanted. Please read it. It’s short and sweet and perfect. Mirth hasn’t published anything else yet but you can bet it’ll be great when it comes.

I know you by @ladybugandblackcat (Ao3 profile)

John hates the attention but he really deserves it. Do you like disney songs? Do you like cute fluff? You’ll like this. (And in the future, he will kill you with angst. But not in this story. I’ve been promised.)

Tikki’s New Friend by @panda013 (Ao3 profile)

I died like 5 times reading this fic, it was so cute. Amanda is a super talented individual and it’s almost impossible to pick a favorite of her works. Everything is just gorgeous. 

check yes juliet by @clairelutra (Ao3 profile)

This was the first fic I read in this fandom, I believe, and I regret nothing. I don’t know clairelutra as well as the rest of the people on this list but I’ve talked to her a few times and not only is she amazing, her writing is as well.

Secret Santa by @thelastpilot (ff.net profile)

If you’ve read any fics in this fandom you probably know Pilot, but just in case you don’t, read this and everything else Pilot has written. It’s fluffy and amazing and you will thank me. 

finished the leafhawk au designs!! idk if i'll ever do much more than the occasional illustration with these but man they're fun. all of these designs (except hawkfrost) are circa omen of the stars

NO heterosexual explanation for why JJ hallucinated emily in episode 200 that was the gayest thing ive ever seen. husband and child be damned that woman is GAY

What Would Have Happened If The Other Doctors Stepped on the "Boom" Land Mine

One: The land mine is diffused by the power of parental love much sooner. Splice and Mundy join the TARDIS team after he decides that Splice will be his next fill-in granddaughter.

Two: Plays the recorder instead of singing. Jamie attacks the ambulance with his knife as soon as it attaches the lines to the Doctor, and it's only Zoe that stops him from getting killed. The detonation happens much sooner because the Doctor gets antsy and plays with the fiddly bits.

Three: Expertly controls his blood pressure to stop a premature detonation. Tries to keep his companion far away, but they discover the land mine anyway. Takes the land mine with him after it is diffused to use for spare parts in the UNIT lab.

Four: "Harry, I'm standing on a land mine." Doesn't bother with a counterbalance and just stands on one foot for the whole episode. Snacks on some jelly babies while waiting for the right moment.

Five: Has an in depth conversation with Nyssa about how he is regulating his biology on a molecular level. They use a cricket ball from the TARDIS as a counterbalance, meaning that he never gets shot or targeted by the ambulance. One of his companions still ends up getting shot, at which point he falls over, immediately self destructs, and blows a giant hole in the planet.

Six: Gets far too irritated for his blood pressure to stay low. Could really do with some of Evelyn's cocoa right about now. The land mine blows up because he cannot calm down enough to disguise his presence.

Seven: A much longer conversation on how the Doctor is a complex space-time event. The countdown finishes, but the land mine doesn't blow because he had disarmed it at the beginning of the episode. The entire time, he was just pretending the land mine was live in order to teach his teenage companion a life lesson.

Eight: Forgets he's standing on a land mine and blows up. Gets into a passionate conversation with his companion about the war industry complex. Soliloquizes about life and death. Almost sacrifices himself in an inferno of self-loathing, but his companion saves the day.

War: His associates go back in time and extract him before he steps on the land mine. This new version of him continues fighting the Daleks while the time echo standing on the land mine is used to blow a hole in the nearby Dalek command ship.

Nine: Has flashbacks to the War while standing on the land mine but somehow manages to stabilize his blood pressure thanks to the presence of Rose and Jack. Jack manages to diffuse the bomb while he is on it thanks to his experience with Villengard tech.

Ten: "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." Tries to convince his companion to evacuate as much of the population into the TARDIS as possible because they would be safe there. Almost lets himself blow up, but his companion forces him to find a way to survive.

Eleven: The mine blows up in about ten seconds because he can't stand still. The entire planet is blown to smithereens, but his friends are okay because he locked them in the TARDIS.

Twelve: Gets into mind games with Clara while she is trying to figure out what he is standing on. Clara tries to take his place, but he doesn't let her. Missy eventually shows up and disarms the land mine because she wants to be the one to kill him.

Thirteen: Only manages to stay still because the Fam calms her down. Is oddly stoic about the entire thing and disappears into the depths of the TARDIS for several days after it happens. She never brings it up again even though Yaz tries to get her to talk about it.

Fourteen: God damn it this guy is supposed to be retired. He's supposed to be having a break. He talks about how much he loves his companion and how so, so sorry he is that he can't fix this.

Fugitive: This is a normal Tuesday for her. Probably has some sort of anti-land mine device in one of her coat pockets.
