Blue-mood-blue’s tags: #on one hand let toby be smooched#on the other hand#i am keeping an eye on you alex#>_>
Just finished Local Habitation and I had the same reaction. Torn between: Let Toby be happy and enjoy some uncomplicated flirting and This is going to End Badly isn’t it?
Re: your update: HARD SAME
Me: Oh my, this Alex is flirty
Alex: Lays a smooch on Toby within a few minutes of meeting her
Me: OH MY
So this is Toby's next ' I am being forced to dress up' dress. When it gets covered in blood it will just add to the design. 😁

Etienne: Wait, didn’t the guards take your knife at the door?
Toby: *holding a knife* Yeah…
Etienne: Then how did you-
Toby: Why, do you need one? *pulls out an extra knife*
I'm finally sitting down with the newest Toby Daye book and I've made a Bingo sheet. Wish me luck, and no spoilers!
DIANDA: Sorry about your legal problems, Toby. If your quest doesn't work out, you can always get married the Saltmist way.
OCTOBER: Is that when you punch anyone who says my wedding's not legit?
DIANDA: I PUNCH ANYONE WHO SAYS YOUR WEDDING'S NOT LEGIT.

Possibly silly crossover rambles
Anybody out there also a fan of both Voltron: Legendary Defender and the October Daye series?
I had a random thought for a crossover. Look at the Alteans; aren’t they suspiciously close to Fae? Oriande might as well be a part of Faerie. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had an origin with Oberon and Titania. Some are significantly more powerful than others but all have some basic skills. And they are definitely magic, regardless
But wait, the Galra sure have some traits that could mesh with being Fae too (albeit on the more “monstrous” end), not even limited to the fact that they can have kids with just about anything out there. With training (and possibly other things), Galra can do magic too, and they certainly have an aesthetic.
Of course, neither are immortal, but Pixies don’t appear to be either, and they were created; so what if the Galra and Alteans were creations, not children? Imagine Oberon and his future wives as newly aware, and essentially still children, and they’re hopping around the universe having lovely games. And they make toys for themselves, because of course they do! (And Titania and Maeve don’t like each other, and competition happens) But they’re young, so eventually their interest in their toys fades, and they head back into the depths of Faerie, leaving the “toys” behind to struggle on their own. The Alteans use technology and alchemy to cover for the slowly fading magic, and the Galra probably abandoned magic ages ago (at least until Zarkon goes evil) and focused on survival of the toughest.
Fast forward to Changelings and Fae in the Garrison wondering if Keith is just a really thin blooded Changeling himself (and the hints that go over his head). Fast forward to mostly Changelings (and a few Fae) helping out after Sendak’s invasions. Don’t-Look-Here spells would be useful to help humans avoid the Galra and escape to safe places. Fast forward to the first time that they see the Alteans, and the rampant wondering if they’re some new species of Fae.
Just imagine! Somebody should tackle this, because it’s probably gold. I claim not it.
New fandom? New fandom!
Or “So now I’ve come up with it, but what do I do with it?”
I’ve watched Trollhunters/3 Below! I liked it! But as ever, the ideas won’t stop. I am that guy who ends up with a dozen AUs for just about every fandom, and this one won’t leave me alone right now.
Short Premise: Jim and Barbara are changelings in the sense of October Daye-verse, and the plot goes off the rails basically right from the beginning.
So now I’m just sitting here looking at it, because I’ve had two surgeries on my wrist in recent months, and thumb-typing on my phone is really not a productive way for me to write. (Also, I should, um, finish that other big WIP first.)
I phone-typed up a rambly thing in case that was enough to make the idea go away, but it didn’t. Don’t know when (if ever) it would end up written, but might as well share, right?
Ramblings pasted into a google doc for ... changeling equality?
