Really can’t emphasize enough how fundamental to their relationship it is that Charles and Edwin feel safe with each other in a way they’ve probably never felt with anyone before

The first thing Edwin sees Charles do is sacrifice his life to defend someone from bullies on the same ground where bullies once killed Edwin

Edwin introduces himself to Charles with “I shan’t hurt you” and leads him gently into sleep

And that’s what all the rest builds on

Charles won’t hurt Edwin and Edwin won’t hurt Charles (not really, not on purpose, and never ever physically) and that means everything, to them

There's a joke about that one Sparkasse-ad in there somewhere

My sister just linked me an amazing website that alphabetically lists medieval names - with origins/meanings!

Bertbert is a beautiful name for a baby girl

"The WWII officer" girly (gn), er ist bei der SS. Abgesehen von allem anderen sieht man ganz deutlich die Doppelblitze am Kragen, damit es auch wirklich jeder mitkriegt. Das ist nicht irgendein Offizier, die (Waffen-)SS war kein normales Militär. Die SS war dazu da, die "Feinde" der NSDAP gewaltsam zu unterdrücken, sowohl im In- als auch im Ausland. Die waren das KZ-Personal, die haben unzählige Massaker an Zivilisten verübt. Man kann die ohne zu übertreiben als Terrororganisation bezeichnen. Das waren alles Schläger und Mörder. "WWII officer" ist bisschen verharmlosend, findest du nicht?

Der Typ ist ideologisch gefestigte Nazi-Elite und das sollte man auch so sagen. Finde ich.

Since there was interest in another ghosts poll, let's see which minor ghost is your favourite:

Okay it's here!

The Ravelry Tumblrina Sanctuary!

I'm just gonna tag everyone who expressed interest, or who friended me on rav let's see

I am terrible at promoting stuff, so idk please share? Or don't. Come join me if you want to! Only if you want to, of course.

once again, the writing is on the wall, and once again, we must fear the deletion of our beloved hellsite. personally i think a slow, gradual deterioration is more likely, but it never hurts to be prepared.

if you would like to stay friends, I have accounts on Dreamwidth, Bluesky, and Ravelry. The first two are just backups, there's not anything on them.

So this is where you can find me, I suppose, if they pull the plug here.

Hopefully it won't come to that.

(On that note, Discord isn't for me, but if I made a Displaced Tumblrinas ravelry group, would anyone be interested?)

(Also, please feel free to share your own socials so I can find you again!)

Hey remember when people on this site were absolutely insane about asexuals saying they’re a Trojan horse to sneak in homophobic straight people into the lgbt community or whatever and now JKR is making the same lazy edgelord jokes about asexual people

someone reblogged that inkheart post I made a while back just when I was thinking about how truly baffled I am by Funkes ability to write incredibly well-developed, nuanced, interesting queer characters and complex queer relationships - but only as subtext. only if the narrative can sustain the thinnest veneer of plausible deniability. when she leaves that zone, it is like queerness is a strange and foreign concept that she approaches with a caution that borders on averseness.

there are truly amazing queer narratives in both the inkworld and mirrorworld series, but as soon as Funke tries to actually write queer text, she just fails spectacularly, she is such a skilled writer, but all her textual queer rep is incredibly clumsy and awkward. Conni, what is the problem. Please. I know you can do it, I have seen you do it, and yet!

Conni, talk to me
