having seen at least the rough outlines of all the romances now I have to say that I think emmrich's is probably objectively the best in terms of coherence and completeness of story arc (with the understanding that ultimately the 'best' romance is whichever one makes YOUR heart sing anyway so objectivity is a silly thing to claim that way, it just felt like it's the arc with the most well-paced focused content and the least dangling threads)... but lucanis' is my favourite haha. just. the whole kneeling before your beloved full of reverence but without any of the distance that usually implies??? his complete undramatic certainty and calm in every scene with rook after this, having spent the whole game caught between fear and longing???? mr. lives in a pantry but it says nothing about my psyche don't worry about it it's purely for tactical reasons that I keep myself contained in a small dark room not entirely unlike a cell, love among the parsnips -- finally coming to rook in their room and it's so comfortable and comforting???? after all the times rook supports and comforts him through the game he's finally able to return the same to them when they need it while being so calm and steady and it's so fucking sweet and feels so effortless and with no price attached?????? he basically assigns himself the role of your bodyguard and he WILL stab a god over it??????????????? the turn to protector (which was in his heart all along longing to get out and find a place) of it all????? he sounds like he's found himself unexpectedly stumbling into such a soul-lightening state of revelatory existential relief, full on 'you only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves' mary oliver style, and he goes and he shares that with rook and protectively envelops them in it when they're hurting??????????????????????????? hello for the maker's sake hello can anyone hear me?????

Attempting to get the beast used to a dental hygiene routine is… well, it’s going.

(She stayed that way for a solid 8 seconds despite hating being held belly up so I think it’s safe to say that Mim is not beating the ‘tiny speaker playing elevator music instead of a brain’ allegations any time soon.)

After a steamy second date with Reese, everything was coming up Hailee... until she discovered she'd contracted a WTD! Suddenly, her perfect match might not be so perfect after all.

Hi there, as an epileptic person I’m so happy to see your changes to Shadowsight’s character (I was SO disappointed that they removed his seizures!) and that you have a whole section dedicated to it in the medicines overview! It means so much to me to have such genuine representation. The only little note I have is that the technical term for a grand-mal seizure is “tonic-clonic,” not clonic-tonic! Other than that you have some really great and well-researched information ^^

Oh shoot, I didn't realize the order was important! Can you tell me why it should be tonic-clonic and spelling it as clonic-tonic should be avoided, so I can share?

With Shadowsight and Sorreltail, I did my research by looking at educational not-for-profits and trying to make sure to listen to firsthand accounts of what it's like to have it, so that the portrayal was more based in life than medical journals. I'm pretty sure I have an old post floating around somewhere with a bunch of sources and links, in addition to the herb guide you saw.

It really is such a shame they did that with Shadowsight specifically :/ you're not the first to pass through thanking me for putting his epilepsy back. I was recently revisiting the earlier books of TBC to answer an ask (ballooned into an essay) and, man, seeing all the setup, with what I know now, utterly wasted is just devastating.

What I mean is, in Book 1, they're describing his auras from his perspective and how there IS a difference between his seizure-visions and his Ashfur-visions. They're establishing that he DID always have epilepsy, it's just ASHFUR that's new. That was a MAJOR hint that something was wrong! The epilepsy was always part of him, but the possessions weren't!

But then, in Book 4, the team unceremoniously decides that no, it was Ashfur all along. Even the seizures. GoodBYE epilepsy! It was literally just a magic spirit.

Though the "seizures give visions" trope is a bit problematic on its own (like "Blind Seer"), I feel like it's even worse to set up representation, and then just yank it away midway through an arc. Like they couldn't just have him lose the visions but keep the seizures.

Frustrating. But, well, this is MY kitchen and I get to decide the disability rep.

sunlight by hozier is SOOO jegulus coded

all hozier songs can be interpreted in hundreds of different ways, but as a greek mythology fanatic, i like to believe its at least a liiiittle related to icarus and apollo

i'm also a strong believer that regulus is an icarus variant -- getting too close to the "sun", something he was fully aware was dangerous, yet he took the chance anyway due to the love and just pure infatuation he had (cue the line of the song that says "i had been lost in you [...] and flew like a moth to you" because WHAAAT) and in the end dying due to this devotion

another line that has me ripping my hair from my scalp : "whose heart would not take flight? betray the moon as acolyte, on first and fierce affirming sight"

"whose heart would not take flight?" appealing to the way everyone loves james & nobody can blame regulus for how he fell for him

"betray the moon as acolyte" is a bit far fetched by stay with me ok?? i swear i'm not just yapping (yes i am). to betray the moon would be to betray remus, right? but james never directly does anything to remus, so what if this is referring to the marauders as a whole?? like to betray one of them would be to betray all of them & we all know sirius felt fairly betrayed when finding out abt jegulus!

"on first and fierce affirming sight" is based around their first impressions of each other -- which wouldn't be inaccurate to describe as fierce. seeing as regulus was sirius's little snobby slytherin brother & james was an obnoxious golden boy who had everything

but yeah!

god, i could go on and on and on about this (clearly), but i'll stop yapping now and get back to having a life
