one fun difference between phoenix and apollo as pov characters is that phoenix is a completely average guy with a completely average level of pop-culture awareness, so with him it’s very easy to gauge how popular something is supposed to be - he’s pretty aware of the steel samurai, he’ll go to see a max galactica show if it’s in town, he recognises matt engarde when gumshoe mentions him, etc. like if phoenix knows a thing it’s popular you know? like he doesn’t have huge special interests or huge dislikes he’s a very follow the crowd guy, the things he’s doing are usually things maya is extremely passionate about and he’s indifferent but doesn’t consider it bizarre. apollo on the other hand is a little freak with a law hyperfixation who lives under a rock. it’s hard to gauge how popular the gavinners or the gramaryes are actually supposed to be because this guy wouldn’t know them anyway. he’s also rarely indifferent to things - he’s either absolutely loving something or telling klavier to his face he should stop making music because it’s shit. this makes him a more challenging protagonist from a world-building perspective, but an objectively much funnier one
Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I’ll practise basic self care
Why 666k? Because it’s funny and impossible so good fucking luck
Ok so, I remember one fic a little better than the other, but Ill list all the details i know about them. Take some details with a grain of salt, my memory is pretty bad, and I have accidentally mixed up details before.
They were both AO3 fics for sure, and im pretty sure both were bagginshield and everybody lives aua.
In the one I remember better, Bilbo was staying in erebor, i think post botfa. He is working with the men and dwarves under thorins orders to help teach farming and get some farms and gardens going to provide food for everyone. In particular I remember him working with bards advisor. Theres some unrest among the dwarves over thinking of gardening as beneath them. And later in the story both Bilbo and Ori are kidnapped by the advisor and a bunch of other guys. Ori was only taken because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The advisor is actually pretty nice to them, because he has nothing against them, he just really needs the ransom money. The advisor dude is later killed by the other guys after an escape attempt by ori and bilbo. I think thorin and dwalin find the two in rough shape while trying to rescue them?
The one I remember less of is mostly just one particular scene that stuck with me, where bilbo was in erebor, and explaining to a dwarf/dwarves (probably thorin, some company members, and/or Dis) that hobbits can grow their faunts in gardens, and that they can have kids with other races. And if a hobbit has children with someone from another race, that ability to grow kids doesn't dilute. I think I recall him saying that the dwarves of another mountain actually have a lot of hobbit lineage in them due to their proximity to the shire resulting in hobbit/dwarf relationships. So the dwarves of that mountain can use gardens to keep up a decent population, and they have terraces along the side of the mountain for that purpose. Of course, given that the gardens are for growing children they are well guarded. I don't remember many other story details. The best I've got is that i'm pretty sure it was a bagginshield story, and that bilbo was probably going to have kids in that story. though whether that was via the garden method or the usual way I'm not sure.
I think both fics were multiple chapters long, and i think the first one was complete? please help me find these, I have spent a while searching all the relevant tags i could think of, along with my subscriptions and bookmarks.
“Can I have a cigarette?” The Magnus Archives is a horror anthology audio drama by Rusty Quill, written by Jonathan Sims. It’s probably one of my favourite podcasts so I decided to make an animated trailer for the very first episode, Anglerfish All credit goes to the staff at Rusty Quill
What if when we were born we were each assigned a Wikipedia page like a social security number would that be fucked up or what
Hi! I'm fandomFriend! Pronouns are she/her, I am 21, and I am a fan of far too many fandoms to list. Currently though, I am very trapped in undertale/deltarune, homestuck, MHA, ace attorney, tf2, the hobbit, malevolent, and TMA. No homophobia, transphobia, racism, or general shaming of fans allowed here. Otherwise... I guess enjoy anything I post? I guess? My Ao3 is CM_03.
