me, quietly whispering to the ao3 page of an author who doesn’t even know I exist: I am obsessed with you
I keep thinking about that tweet asking what would sp be like if one of the other dead men mentored Valkyrie and I can’t stop imagining the chaos that would have been Val and Saracen. Instead of the romantically inept straight™️ phase 1 val we could’ve had smooth talking lesbian/bisexual Val (whichever you’re preference) from the start
Just imagine how the Caelan situation would’ve played out:
Valkyrie: so there’s this vampire...
Saracen: ah, we’ve all been there Valkyrie. My best advice is to just sleep with him and get it out of your system.
Valkyrie: you’ve slept with a vampire?
Saracen: Valkyrie at this point there’s not much I haven’t slept with... except maybe the sea hag, but that’s purely because I can never seem to find her.
Valkyrie (looking horrified): what about the children of the spider?
Saracen:
Saracen: Anyway, moving on...

100% accurate - both are annoying and if they do something helpful, 9/10 times it´s an accident

SP CHARACTER STUDY 4/? - VALKYRIE CAIN
for one so young, she already carries a lifetime of regrets
a character you think isn’t appreciated enough?
I actually really like Militsia?? She seems really sweet and I like her interactions with Val (although sometimes they can feel a bit one sided)
Like she actually raises some good points early on when they first meet + genuinely cares for Val (so far..) rather than using her as some weird ego boost and entertainment unlike a certain scamdullery pheasant
ya know like….you always hear about the classics™ authors having stupid wild shenanigans with each other. they all banded together to be dumbass chaotic english majors together. the stories are great and they’re all considered timeless genius writers….we don’t have that with modern age authors? where’s the goddamn sense of community? where’s the saucy tales of jk rowling, stephen king, james patterson and nicholas sparks locked up in an orgy cabin during a hurricane and having a writing contest. no one’s ever gotten in a fist fight with stephanie meyer. rick riordan didn’t cry face down in george r r martin’s garden after no one liked blood of olympus. jodi picoult doesn’t have a single damn calcified heart in her possession. cassandra clare and suzanne collins never had sex on a grave. neil gaiman has never gone on a week long sex-binge that would have killed him if r l stine didn’t intervene. john green has never written a book in two weeks while snorting massive amounts of cocaine. where’s the drama!!! where’s the scandal!!!! where’s the intrigue!!! modern day authors have to step it UP a notch, God dammit.

genuinely hate that the german wird for concise is prägnant, because whenever I want to translate it into english my brain tells me it’s pregnant
