Algy fluttered over the deep chasm to the highest point on the headland, just a few metres away, and gazed in awe at the panorama around him, which was so extensive that he could only see a small part of it at a time.

But a very special view lay to the north-east, for looking out in this direction Algy could not only see a wide expanse of the Sea of the Hebrides but some decisive moments in Scottish history.

Algy wondered which birds might have perched in this very spot in the years 1745 and 1746, for what they would have seen changed Scotland for centuries to come, right up until the present day. Did they see that wee boat, over there in the distance, which brought Bonnie Prince Charlie and his followers on the final stage of their journey to Scotland from France in the summer of 1745? Algy could see a boat over there now, but he thought that it was probably not the same one…

Did his fluffy ancestral cousins fly that short distance over the water to watch the young prince make his way up to Glenfinnan at the head of Loch Shiel to rally the clans (a spot now famous for a much less significant reason)? It was a route well known to Algy…

And did they, a year later, see the prince and his men, fleeing from the battlefield of Culloden and the English army, set out again from Loch nan Uamh, just over there where the mainland meets the sea? And not once, but twice: first to escape pursuit in the outer islands, and then finally, in the early hours of September 20, 1746, to sail away to France, never to return…?

And did those birds add their cries to the laments of the folk left behind to face the wrath and terror of Cumberland's army? What stories those birds could tell if only Algy could meet them now…

Here is one of those laments, which remains ever popular, performed by some young Canadian musicians including a singer with a beautiful voice.❣️ The landscape is all wrong, but the song is all right ☺️

If I could live in a fantasy world, I think I'd pick the magnificent North..💕 I love other worlds, but I doubt I'll survive😭

elfhame? I'm sure it's beautiful, but I can't handle irl people. Do you want me to survive powerful faeries bullying me? I'm also not as strong as jude... I'm very clumsy.. I'd probably have a mental breakdown..

shatter me? Sector 45? Uhm, no! no dystopian world... What's happening here is enough for me to handle ..

Ketterdam? I don't even need to explain why I won't survive...

So yeah, I would pick the magnificent north . The worst that could happen to me is dying by kissing jacks (because i probably would 😔), but still better than the other options 🤷‍♀️

19th August 1745 saw Charles Edward Stuart raise his standard at Glenfinnan.

By 1744, hostilities between Britain and France had escalated and the time seemed right for another attempt by the Jacobites to reclaim the British throne.

Louis XV was prepared to support an invasion. Prince Charles Edward secretly left Rome and travelled to France to lead the rising on behalf of his father, James VIII and III, who was by now 56 years old. The plan was abandoned when a storm destroyed the French fleet.

After spending over a year petitioning Louis XV to finance another invasion attempt, Charles decided to proceed alone. Always impulsive and convinced that the Highland clans would rise to support him, he secured a ship to transport him and seven loyal supporters to Scotland.

The Prince and his party landed on Eriskay in the Outer Hebrides during July 1745. Shortly after his arrival, the Prince met Alexander Macdonald of Boisdale, who warned him that many clans were unlikely to support him. When told to return home he replied,

‘Sir I am home… I am persuaded that my faithful Highlanders will stand by me’.

Jacobites rallied to the cause – providing Charles with the very real possibility of seizing the power which had been lost almost sixty years previously. The Prince raised the Stuart standard (flag) at Glenfinnan, west of Fort William on the Scottish mainland, on 19 August – the final Jacobite rising had begun!

okay, so . the IOUs zam owes from last season:

initially, they were offered to reddoons, squiddo, 4c, and spep in exchange for their blessings/curses in the "a deal with the princezam" stream and the "deals deals deals!" stream. around this time, zam supposedly gave these same offers, while off stream, to pangi, jaron, and terrain as well.

woogie was then later offered 1 IOU when zam first revealed that he was playing on pangi's account, requesting that he didn't tell anyone about it. after that, the only other deal made that i could find was to leo for his login info on the final day.

out of all of those deals, only 5 accepted and actually completed their end of the deal. those being red, pangi, woogie, spep, and leo. red and spep's offers were bumped from 1 IOU to 3 during negotiations. however due to spep betraying during the big pb&j vs. playersTM fight, spep’s was lowered back down to 1. pangi's was done off stream but purely based on context i assume it's only 1 IOU? (or they traded login info ? idk it's one of the two).

during the finale, zam also mentioned that he offered 2 more IOUs to red if he logged on immediately to curse jumper with glowing (1:23:27 in "the finale day" roshambo vod (may 25th)) . yea .

so, from what i can gather: zam owes reddoons something between 3-5 IOUs, spep 1, pangi 1, woogie 1, and leo 1.

Heya! I’m a big fan of your art and stories but I’m just wondering if you have any plans to update older fics such as Prince and the Baron or The Untold Tale? Because I saw that they’re active but on waitlist but it’s been several years for the Untold tale. So I’m wondering if there’s any plans at all?

Hiya, anon! 💞 I do have plans for them actually! Trust me, as the writer, I want to update my works faster more than any of ya—but not if it’ll sacrifice the writing quality. Presently I’m going down my list so after Truce ch3 is uploaded, it’ll be TUT’s turn. After TUT ch6 will be an intermediary update of either TNOTG ch2 or Truce ch4, and then it’ll be P&B ch5.

I’ve made peace with the unfortunate reality that I’m just a very slow writer 🫠 I blame my inner perfectionist. Because I’m a multifandom writer, I go through a process akin to resetting my memory each time I return to a WIP and having to hardcore reimmerse myself in the fandom. It’s how I can preserve the canon characterizations and each fic’s unique atmosphere because each fic of mine has its own worldbuilding and idiosyncrasies. And that way I don’t get my wires crossed and, y’know, accidentally bring modern Americanisms into my Chinese-novel inspired cultivation danmei fic. Or make a Chinese character say American English or British English or vice versa (y’all don’t want to see Shen Yuan or Blitzø suddenly break character and speak in Cockney, right?)

Truce ch3 is presently shaping up to the longest chapter I’ve ever written which is why it’s taking so long _(:3」∠)_ But I will make up for the wait with a dense-enough chapter to chew through so it’ll be worth the long wait for whichever fic the reader has been waiting patiently for!
