#the tower
You leapt – as the floor gave way. Loki lunged forward and caught your hands just in time.
“Don’t let go…” You begged him quietly, tears in your eyes. “Don’t let go… Please.”
“I won’t,” he promised, knowing that he also couldn’t heave you up to safety either. He was too weak. Why couldn’t you just have done as you were told? You could’ve avoided all of this.For the third and final time, the main room sunk abruptly. At the same time, you heard a wet crunch. The body of the tower caved inwards completely. The topmost room began its final descent, tumbling through the sky towards the ground. Your stomach heaved and sent shivers wracking through you. Hold on, Loki screamed internally, hold on, just a little longer.
But you couldn’t. Your hands were slick with blood and water; he felt you slip out of his grasp.
You screamed as the wind rushed past you.
He bellowed your name and threw out his palm in pursuit.
There was a flash of green…
…then black.

ok so ik i suck at art, but it was more the point that I was trying to get across (loki as rapunzel, reader as flynn rider) than the actual quality of the artwork lol. this is my entry for the tower 2 comp. the tower is one of the best fics i have ever read. every character is written so well and it’s so much fun to read. i found it looking through the loki tag one day and I finished the entire series the day before the final chapter came out. Honestly I could go on and on about this but im going to shut up and post this now. @littlemisssyreid

Calling all fans of The Tower!
You there - yes, you!
Did you read The Tower? More importantly, did you have a good time reading The Tower? Were you left wanting more when it ended? Well, if you answered ‘yes’ to all those questions, then you’re in luck:
I’m going to write a sequel.
It’s been in production for some time - as many of you know, I like to plan my stories in excruciating detail - so thankfully, I already know roughly where I want it to go. Many of the fan-favourites will be returning: Brynjolf, Jarle and Fenrien, Lady Montilyet, and of course his royal highness and resident pain-in-the-ass, Loki Laufeyson.
So why make a post about it, you might be wondering. Well, here’s the fun part for all you readers out there.
I am running a competition - with prizes.
In honour of The Tower’s return, I’m asking all fans of the fic to get involved with a little giveaway I’m organising. Something The Tower granted me was a lot of reader contributions, be it fanart or headcanons or just general conversation.
This competition is based around just that. You. I couldn’t write a reader-insert story with that really, could I?
So, if you’re a writer, an artist, or even a musician (remember the lullaby from the reader’s music box? I’d love to hear it), then get cracking on something creative related to The Tower, making sure to tag me in it or use the hashtag #TheTower2Comp. It doesn’t matter if it’s fluff or angst, based on the first story or your hopes for the second; if you’ve got it, I’d love to see it. I’ve had people make paper lanterns in honour of this story - truly, anything and everything is possible.
Now, of course, if this is a competition then I have to talk prizes. So, what’s at stake here?
The winner will receive a request of their choosing which I will draft as a multi-part series, which they can help me develop.
A selection of 5 runners up are offered the opportunity to become beta-readers for the new ‘The Tower’ fic, gaining early access to the chapters as they’re written.
The competition will end when I’ve settled in to my new job. To clarify: you’ve got until the 1st of August to submit your entries for this one. That’s two months, people.
I’ve got a few weeks between now and then, during which I’ll be very busy. Thus, I’ll be taking a very small break from the blog before coming back full swing with some origin stories and a few new series.
I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with. :) Love to you all!

Apologies for the spam of masterlist posts today. I’ve been making some changes to the blog recently, as per this post. Here are some of the major changes I’ve made:
- I’ve got a new, super-cute PC theme.
- I’ve got a Ko-Fi link now, instead of a PayPal link.
- I’ve split up my masterlist into character specific lists.
- Fics no longer contain gifs.
- TheDiscord is becoming far more developed.
As you can see, there’s plenty going on! As well as that, if you’re a fan of ‘The Tower’, keep an eye out - there will be news coming very shortly with regards to a sequel and a competition surrounding it. Exciting stuff!
Summer should be a very busy time as I’m starting my year long work placement. Once I’ve settled in, I’ll hopefully be able to update the blog far more regularly.
Buckle in folks, I’m on my way back!

Are you tough enough to take on “The Tower?” (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง
“The Volcano” from The Spirit Child collection
↑ Stability, Resilience, Transformation, Vindication
❂ Amadioha, Shango, The Tower
↓ Festering Anger, Vengeance, Inaction
The Volcano is an avatar of Black Rage that is anchored in love and protection. They alchemize centuries of debilitating anger into a call to action that seeks transformative justice. They are the ancestral flame that scorches violent systems to make room for new life. They hold a bouquet of flame that can light the fires of change, or to release the heaviness that comes with a slow and patient eruption.
Oils and Acrylics on board. 18 x 24 inches.
Sealed with an archival satin varnish.
Featured in Vancouver Special: Disorientations and Echo at Vancouver Art Gallery.

16/21 The Tower - Did you ever feel like giving up on this project?
Absolutely. There were points when I wasn’t happy with my work, I was comparing myself to others too much, and I was going through difficult problems in my personal life. Sometimes those difficulties helped fuel and inform the cards, but occasionally I had to take necessary breaks from work on the deck. The reality of doing a large project is that life isn’t going to lay off and let you concentrate for the years that you need to work. There are probably times that you’ll need a break, you’ll have to prioritize other things, you’ll need to take care of yourself, and you’ll need to refuel your creativity. It’s important to be aware of when you need to do those things and adapt your plans so that you can see the project through.
Question for you: No question today, do something nice for yourself instead!

The Tower for the Blood Moon Tarot (show your support through Patreon!)
Destruction, Undoing, Release.
Brick by brick you’ve built a castle of everything you understand about your world. You’ve carved elaborate designs around the walls, filled it with all your expectations for the future, and knew that it would always stand tall. But the higher you build and the more you trust in those walls to stand against the storm, the longer the fall and greater the humbling. When the world defies your expectations and you cling to your beliefs, denying reality, The Tower will meet destruction and you will be shaken from your dreams.
Post link
Like a bolt from the blue, The Tower heralds a sudden and dramatic upheaval. Loosely-held convictions will crumble, providing an opportunity to reflect and rebuild on sturdier ground.
