Okay, so the new design choices for Shen are bothering me. Like, I know it's Her impersonating him, but I don't like how fluffy they made him. It's messy to look at, and part of his character is metal.

Like, he was supposed to look cold and sleek, like metal. Because it makes him look more lethal, and sharp. (Like a stabby weapon.) But metal is also kind of his element.

I don't know, but to me the changes make him look less regal and imposing, and more... frumpy?

Wild how we know that Elizabeth Woodville was officially appointed to royal councils in her own right during her husband’s reign and fortified the Tower of London in preparation of a siege while 8-months pregnant and had forces gathering at Westminster “in the queen’s name” in 1483 – only for NONE of these things to be even included, let alone explored, in the vast majority of scholarship and historical novels involving her.

What astounds me about the whole "you need a pure human SOUL to perfect the serum" thing is that so many people take Chujin's conclusion at face value. Chujin Ketsukane? Chujin "Winner of the 'You Tried In Engineering' Award" Ketsukane? Chujin "Fumbled Inventing Robots So Hard He Earned The Ire Of The Usually Pretty Chill King" Ketsukane? Chujin "I Accidentally Killed A Human Child By Overshooting The Parameters On My Guard Robot" Ketsukane? That Chujin Ketsukane?

ff7 au where aerith meets sephiroth before zack.

.

this changes nothing in the main story, because by then the real sephiroth is already dead. it just makes everything that happens feel that much worse.

(an exploration of the earlier story concept with past aeriseph)

geralt is also a most real depiction of good quality fatherhood and great girldad representation because EVEN THOUGH witchers don’t even experience aging at the same rate as non-GMO humans, EVEN THOUGH it would be “biologically impossible,”

geralt having had been raising a pre-teen girl for maybe a few months to a year already “gave the impression of having aged,” his “face slashed by wrinkles.” the emotional toll on this man from raising she-devil ciri

and this is only the very beginning of the saga. BEFORE everything goes to shit. the wrinkles have set in

potential clarinette design?

(the girl lime dated for a short time during the timeskip to try and get over mochi. shes currently trying to get him to go out with her again)

My last thought for the night... thinking on Josie's fascination with the red honey changes. Thinking on Jamie experiencing some physical changes

Thinking of Josie gripping their chin and *looking* at them

[vole-mon-amour]

Kerry trying to hide his jealousy with Johnny about Alt, but then steaming with snarky comments that Johnny sees right through.

They bicker. They fight. Johnny tries to kiss Kerry, Kerry protests and pushes back. "We ain't exclusive. Take it or leave it," Johnny says. They aren't a thing. There's nothing to build or continue, there's no and will never be any actual dating between them, yet Johnny keeps trying, keeps pushing—because deep down he really, really wants this.

And Kerry takes it. Of course he does. How could he really resist when it's right there? He'd tell anyone to go fuck themselves, but this is Johnny.

He tried to leave and he came back. He tried to leave again and Johnny still managed to smooth talk him into returning.

The truth is very simple: until Johnny is gone, he'll take it—again and again. Love will keep them together and love will tear them apart.

“Studies of Elizabeth Woodville […] have been hampered by the continuing fascination with her brother-in-law, Richard III. The Ricardian [and Yorkist] apologetic is now largely dependent upon the argument that the Woodville family posed such a threat to Richard of Gloucester, and the kingdom as a whole, that Gloucester had little option but to take the throne from his Woodville-dominated nephew. Although this argument has [irregularly] been contested, a reassessment of the queen's role in 1483 has not yet been attempted. Michael Bennett, in his 1987 account [...] still dismissed her as `an inveterate intriguer, capable in her vanity and fecklessness of some remarkable shifts and turns'. But more often she is scarcely mentioned in general histories of the period.”

-J.L. Laynesmith, “English Queenship 1445-1503” (thesis for the degree of DPhil in Medieval Studies, University of York, Centre for Medieval Studies, April 1999)

Following up on this post:

By the end of the giant book (which Manon enjoyed immensely), she kinda sorta got addicted. Not to the reading or the books, but to Dorian reading those books for her. (it's what she claims, but she did enjoy some of these stories and wanted to explore more)

She thought it was probably a preference towards audiobooks, but she tried those and barely lasted a minute. No, she was just into Dorian reading those books, nothing else. She doesn't like the books themselves, just the man.

Dorian, on his end, loves it. He made it his mission to take Manon to bookshops and have her pick whatever book she wanted and he’ll read it for her.

Of course, Manon being Manon, she had to tease him. She does choose the filthiest, smuttiest books available and just has Dorian read those.

And he does.

With his impeccable acting and voice he always manages to turn the tables and instead of her getting a reaction out of him, she ends up all hot and bothered thanks to the man her heart decided to bind itself to.

Asuka is a tragic figure, a figure of mystery, a wild card, all because the only thing she wants in life is peace and quiet for herself and to feel in control- yet her secret heritage that may be hidden from her for her own protection and the reality that life is unpredictable and will go on with or without you keep ruining that delusion, that vision of how the world is meant to work to her, and she suffers regardless of what she wants, what she does, and how little she understands anything

She was born into a family preaching peace and balance and order while being a creature of violence, and puts a dozen mental locks and excuses over this truth to justify giving into her impulse for fighting by pretending she's justice when she does it

She keeps trying to build a place of safety but she's using sand and life is a wave that destroys, yet she stubbornly persists rather than give up, not drowned to the point of self centered suicidal loathing like Jin- there's contrast, where Jin is cloaked in death Asuka stubbornly clings to life and humanity as a normal person in a terrifying world

She's not a fucking narrative clone for Jun's own purpose, Asuka's purpose must be determined by Asuka herself
