Hello tumblr used mangwinged. I have been rewatching the terror because of you, and I see you on here talking about terror fics. So I am here humbly requesting to drop some recs? I trust your judgement on these weirdo sailors implicitly <3
manywinged answered:
okay ummmm i’ve tried to sort them into some rough categories. also these are mostly fitzier because i can’t get enough of whatever they put in the water with that one.
fics that i read when i want to feel better: an unexpected gift by aes3plex (very enjoyable “meeting your significant other’s family” fic), shall warmer, sweeter be by bastaerd (one of the best fics i’ve ever read that explores gender and coming out to your partner while remaining faithful and realistic to the attitudes of the period), Aukkanik by Ias (Goodsir/Silna, stargazing, learning more about your friend’s language and culture, very lovely), oh you pretty things by wildcard_47 (heartfelt and heartwarming post-canon survival au fic where Francis buys James a dress), Swallow by Daucus (healing, survival and intimacy), The Great Peril of Her Existence by scioscribe (Silna-centric, no romantic relationships, an exploration of how her story might have continued post-canon),
fics that i read when i want to feel worse (/complimentary): burnt-out match in a dark room by deadgreeks (a wedding and a funeral), no glimpse of a further shore by bastaerd (deathswap au, Crozier/Fitzjames and Bridgens/Peglar), steady, boys, steady by scioscribe (episode 8 canon divergence au where only Fitzjames and Hickey survive Tuunbaq’s rampage through Terror Camp and Hickey is, well, Hickey about it. scratches my itch to see these two interact more.)
fics containing explicit content: twin high maintenance machines by veganthranduil, Unbecoming by wildcard_47, magneticisque corporibus by MasterOfAllImagination, To Make Gold From Straw by clockheartedcrocodile, Through by robokittens
My deeply queer need to be a large wolf and lay onto top of someone in order to just be close to them, but also me so much wolf that they are overwhelmed with wolf.
"get wolfed idiot"
Love is when you are a very big wolf and you lay on the people you care about while wagging your tail gentle like.
I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.
have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.
Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.
Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.
Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.
It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.
This for real. Alllllllll of this. All of these sounds are the way different people speak based on their emotions. A snarl is not going GRAWR like a dog. It's so furious their teeth are bared, every syllable sharp and cutting and loud. A growl is lower, the words dangerously rough and hot, a warning.
It's the same with softer sounds. A purr is that low, gravelly mmmmm noise of pleasure, or words warm and smooth as melted chocolate. When someone chirps, it's bright and happy and quick, the syllables a little clipped in excitement. Panting is not tongue lolling like a dog; it's a heaving chest and words that are half-breath.
This is what language, what storytelling IS. It's symbolic, it's imagination, it's metaphor and analogy and simile. Strip that away and all you have is textbook descriptions, which are of course useful when reading actual textbooks, but far less entertaining when reading a goddamn fictional story.
let’s see how bad tumblr drivers are. what’s your driving toxic trait
passenger princess 💅 (doesn’t drive)
i don’t always use my turn signal
i speed up instead of letting people pass me on the highway
you’ll never catch me going less than 10 over the speed limit
i’m super jerky with the accelerator/brake/steering wheel
i change lanes with no warning, signal, or regard for the people behind me
i run yellow lights until the last possible moment
i don’t brake enough on turns
i camp in the left lane on the highway instead of using it as a passing lane
i don’t do any of these fuck you people
if you do more than one fuck you but also vote for the one you think is the worst/most dangerous. reblog for sample size

ADHD is so silly because you can think about wanting to do something for like 2 weeks but nothing happens then all of a sudden you’re chilling and minding your own business and you get a freaking Inspiration Jumpscare
heartbreaking:
girl has sooooooo many ambitions and ideas for projects but can only get 1.5 basic tasks done per day
They should invent an economic system where I don't have to choose between having enough income to live off of and being able to feel joy
