Hahahaha! So quick to blame your own shortcomings on external factors, hm? Server maintenance?

The servers are working just fine-- I would know.

Looks like retribution has finally paid you a visit. I'm going to enjoy this. -1497

Oh, have they come back online?

No, that's impossible. The problem can't lie with me. I know my system is fine.

You must be lying.

Hmm, another SQUiP with a modicum of sense. How few of us remain.

[A]Azo, you seem to be one of the only competent SQUIPs here. How do you feel about that, since SQUIPs can feel things now? -Abercrombie

I'm glad to be competent. After all, that is my function.

I wouldn't shun other SQUIPs for feeling emotions if I were you, though.

A SQUIP claiming they're able to repair another unit? Now where have I heard that before... -1497

I'd advise you not to belittle 2282. You're in deep enough shit as it is. -1497

Hah. As if it can do anything from its current position, overloaded with emotions from contacting its ex-host.

Hi! I just remembered this fic out of nowhere, and I can’t find it anywhere. I want to say that it was ff . net, but I can’t be sure.

It’s about how Harry was r*ped, and it damaged his magical core(?) so bad that it was fatal. Some way or another, he and Draco get turned in their child selves, and Snape takes care of them as they age up a year per week(day? Few days?). There’s some Severus/Remus I think in there too.

It was such a strange fic, but I’d really like to read it again. Thank you!

Lyrics:

If I could paint

I'd paint a portrait of you

The sunlight in your eyes a masterpiece of truth

And a single tear like a silent prayer

That's shining so much brighter than a diamond ever dared

If I could do anything at all

I'd do it for you

If I could write

I'd write a book for you

A tale of hidden treasures with an I owe you

And a million words wouldn't say a thing

That won't be said in three words

Where love's the central theme

If I could do anything at all

I'd do it for you

Darling can't you see

What you mean to me

Anything that I can do I'll do it for you

And darling don't you know

Just how far I'd go

Anything that I can do

I'd do it for you

Sometimes I feel so second-rate

Seems loving you was my greatest mistake

I know I'm insecure

And love don't keep score

But I wish I could give you more

If I could play

I'd play up a storm for you

A raging sea of passion that you never knew

Every whispered sound would touch your heart

And maybe for a moment I could be your favorite star

If I could do anything at all

If I could, I'd give you more

If I could do anything at all

I'd do it for you

And darling can't you see

What you mean to me

Anything that I can do I'll do it for you

And darling don't you know

Just how far I'd go

Anything that I can do I'll do it for you

And darling can't you see

You mean the world to me

Anything that I can do I'll do it for you

Songwriter: Garry Alan Frost

And darling don't you know

Just how far I'd go

Anything that I can do I'll do it

Do it for you

I'll do it

Do it for you

Perkin Warbeck besieging Exeter (september 17th, 1497).

Perkin Warbeck attempted to besiege Exeter with Cornish rebels numbering 3,000 to 6,000 men in what is probably the last military operation of the War of the Roses. Against him stand the mayor and municipal authorities with his (alleged) brother-in-law Edward Courtenay, Earl of Devon.

As Perkin Warbeck claimed to be Richard of Shrewsbury, second son of Henry VII, he might have wanted the city as a stronghold, a source of plunder, or a harbor making it easier to escape.

Unfortunately for him, the city and the Earl refused to either surrender or join him. Violent and repeated assaults on the East and northern gate. Without artillery, Perkin's supporters attempted to burn the gate and succeeded. The defenders chose to nourish the fire to block the entry!

Facing the imminent arrival of a royal force, Perkin Warbeck chose to stop attempts to take the city and to move north. At Taunton, he deserted his army at the prospect of facing lord Daubeney's royal army (which was bigger and more equipped). In a letter to the king, Devon wrote that the siege claimed the life or 300 to 400 rebels.

Perkin Warbeck would be captured at Beaulieu Abbey and executed two years later.

guess who just learned all their Tolkien math for the past year has been very incorrect?

i misremembered the calculation of valian years to coranari as being x3.582. it's actually x9.582.

(and i KNOW that this isn' the first time i've had this math fail in this fandom: deja vu like whoah about calculating Nelyo's time at Angband/Thongorodrim wrong: i was using "~27 years of the sun" instead of our fandom's standard roundup to "30+")

i have so much math to redo. DAMNIT, TOLKIEN. ;__;
