No one asked for it but here’s MOAR Model!Lexa from my Model AU.
A Haiku about Model!Lexa
Flawless perfection As you stride down the catwalk Panties drop, hearts race
I’ve a feeling that, when @femininenachos gets to writing this fic, it’s going to be not only the most heavily-anticipated crack fic, it will put all other crack fics to shame.
And all the wild head canon shenanigans that will ensue will make even Kassie Skai blush.
What would we do without the wonderful madness of WeGramChos?
Her Twitter mentions is full of people saying stuff like “You have always been able to cosplay a Captain!”. They just Don’t Get It. Please, Tumblr Star Trek fandom – go to her tweet and give her some love.
I just want to call your attention to this. One year later. Two seasons less. And the tendency is for the gap to keep growing.
keep writing, cl writers
The funny thing is that if you search the fics in the whole 100 category by kudos and hits, the first page (AT LEAST) will be all Clexa fics. The most popular Bellarke fic only has 4k kudos, which at least 80 clexa fics have surpassed. Hell the gap between the most popular Clexa fic by kudos and the Bellarke one is literally 16k kudos. Point is….they might write a lot, but there’s not much to show for in terms of readership, hits, length or quality compared to the Clexa fandom. Like so many other things, the Clexa fandom is a beast when it comes to fanfiction. If this is us with only one season of our ship and a year after Lexa’s death, imagine what it would be like if she were still alive.
If you do a ‘clarke-lexa’ search, 9603 works come up.
From what I can tell, all the fiction under this tag is Clexa or crossovers with Clexa.
So much fiction is also posted elsewhere (on Tumblr, for example, like @coeurdastronaute – her stories alone would add dozens more to this list) – a quick ‘Clexa’ search on ff.net brings up about 900 stories, but there could be more organised under a different tag.
If you’re a UK blog who relentlessly reminded people vote in the US election last year, then i really hope that you’re doing the same thing for our general election on the 8th June, and are registered to vote. Because otherwise, shut up, go online, register to fucking vote and do your civic duty on the 8th.
Honestly, the same needs to go for US followers.
For the love of Christ, please reblog any post you see reminding UK voters to register and then to vote.
Please.
Deadline to registering to vote in the UK is May 22nd
Building a treehouse is the biggest insult to a tree. “I killed your friend, here hold him.”
“Friend”
Its more of I killed a potential enemy. Hold his dismembered corpse in victory.
Plants don’t wage war
Ever heard of blackberries?
Yes, plants do wage war
Mint and strawberries, too. They need to be quarantined or they will kill basically everything else.
I planted mint in the ground 2 years ago.
It’s currently fighting a bitter battle to the death against the raspberries attempting to invade from the east while trying to annex the patio.
Could go either way at this point TBH. Unless, of course, I take a shovel and the blowtorch out there and battle both back to within their original boundaries.
And anyone wondering if a blowtorch is overkill for weeding back mint has never actually planted mint.
This post did not go where I expected it to.
Our garden plot at my childhood home slowly got overrun by wild blackberries after we stopped managing it while my sister and I were in nursing school. And by overrun I mean it was like a 4 foot tall thicket of wild blackberries. It hadn’t been touched by humans in at least 4 years. I started the ultimately futile task of trying to clear this plot with a machete and discovered to my amazement a patch of mint several feet across underneath the canopy of blackberry, still fighting the good fight all those years later.
Ultimately it took two jars of homemade napalm and some creative fire placement to clear that patch but I damn sure saved that patch of mint. It earned the right to be there.
Yall mother fuckers don’t even talk unless you’ve had to wage war on kudzu (it’s an ivy strain directly from Hell) that shit doesn’t just wage war with other plants, it wages war with all living things on planet earth. It’s some gnarly ass Blood for the Blood God, Chlorophyll for the Chlorophyll Throne demon weed.
Can second the comments of Kudzu.
I forget where I read it but there’s this one tree that creates an extremely flammable substance that’s in both the bark and leaves. Dead trees become torches and crushed up leaves become dust-incendiary, all while the plant’s seeds are Giant Redwood levels of resilient to open flame. IE it has a goddamn scorched earth policy. It’s even more badass than plants that use toxins to starve other plants.
Plants have been on this planet for longer than any animal or insect species. how in the name of holy fuck do you think they survived this long?
there are millions of plants that choke out other plants, kudzu/mint/raspberries being only a few examples.
Epiphytes are plants that grow on top of other plants and smother them that way.
There are dozens of species(and I’m lowballing here bc I’m drunk and don’t wanna exaggerate) of plants that are straight-up parasites to other plants.
hell, plants have evolved to be straight-up deadly to any animal idiot enough to try to chomp on em. sometimes you don’t even have to eat em.
like, the kingdom Plantae is an intricately balanced system in which everybody’s got a gun aimed at everyone else’s heads. Plants are way more experienced at war than we (or any animals) are. they’re just trickier and more subtle about it than we will ever be
Plant warfare is what keeps our warfare up at night, historically
how come there are next to no lesbians in the fantasy genre? how come lesbians only exist in fantasy when it comes to porn and fetishism?
give me a rugged, battle-hardened templar who just can’t being herself to kill the little mage blinking innocently up at her.
give me a princess and a handmaiden who take advantage of the fact that they can sleep in the same bed without anyone raising an eyebrow and spend their nights exploring each other’s skin with their fingers and tongues, and their days stealing touches as they go about their duties.
give me a witch who spends hours creating a spell to help her elven girlfriend transition fully into the body she’s always been meant to have.
give me a pair of queens who rule with iron fists, jaws tight and eyes steely, but fall apart at night under the ministrations of the other.
give me bandits adventuring the country, stopping in cities overnight to rest and steal and fuck and drink, and then saddling their horses and riding off together, matching wedding rings glinting on their fingers.
give me the fantasy lesbians that we all deserve.
They might be thin on the ground, but such works exist – you’ll find them in fan works and you’ll find them in books like Kissing the Witch, by Emma Donoghue or Ash or Huntress by Malinda Lo.
i’ll bet anything that there’s a 5 year jump at the end of the finale, and this is Clarke, who stayed behind, seeing the delinquents come back down from space.
This definitely seems to make sense with that picture
but man I really hope that’s not what happens
that’s a terrible way to end the season
not even just her being separated from the rest of them, I literally mean ending it with their reunion is a lot dumber than waiting to show that until next season?? it makes a lot more story sense to hold off on that, and leave us with them parting rather than end right as they reunite
Plus if there is a death fire gas crazy wave of shit headed their way, that foliage is quite mature for only 5 years. Wouldn’t it at burn up? Although I’m not sure what else Clarkey could be up to in that scene if she wasn’t on Earth..
Wait for it – she looks horrified because she’s watching the rest of the Ark come crashing down to Earth, only this time it lands in the ocean….and she remembers that none of them ever learned how to swim.
