Shoutout to Luigi's Mansion ghosts fr. Gotta be one of my favorite Nintendo franchises! Had to take a break from Psychonauts for a minute because I was having burnout-- hope you all enjoy these in the meantime!!
something I find especially entertaining about Edward IV's reign is how Scandalous™ it was lol
he married a woman “whose origins broke all established conventions for English queenship” in a secret ceremony without consulting any of his lords and then made it everyone else's problem. he committed regicide, he committed fratricide; he was accused of bastardry, he was accused of bigamy and a 19-year-long sham marriage, he was accused of using necromancy against his subjects, he was accused of being enchanted by witchcraft by both his wife and his mother-in-law (multiple times). his own mother was said to "rule the king as she pleased" in the early years of his reign. he knew he was hot and actively milked it for money. he was vain as fuck: “he was wont to show himself to those who wished to watch him, and he seized any opportunity that the occasion offered of revealing his fine stature to onlookers”. he knew everything about everyone. "he was more favourable than other princes to foreigners". he was “fond of boon companionship, vanities, debauchery, extravagance and sensual enjoyments”; he was "thought to have indulged in his passions and desires too intemperately”; "it was ever feared he was not chaste”. his subjects publicly gossiped about his sex life, his doctors thought he was insane. NOBODY understood how he was still competent despite all this.
Can you do the Energy Alignment Chart that you did for F1 drivers, for football pundits and personalities??
(Just some suggestions, but please pick and swap as you wish!)
GNev, Carra, Micah, Roy, Wrighty, Jill Scott, Jamie Redknapp, Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, Graeme Souness, Thierry Henry, Dave Jones, Kate Abdo
ANYTHING FOR YOU! 💞
redknapp would go into dumb hoe category and lineker would go into sad category just bcs he played for spurs and everton, which is pretty sad imnsho, but i couldn't fit them in because this is pretty perfect tbh since carraville are together. jill has the biggest dick out of them all and kate is between big dick and big bitch bcs i am right 😹✌🏻
Trying to figure out what kind of ships I like and…honestly I got nothing. They’re all so wildly different in type and personality, I’m not sure. Using the ships I’ve thought about most recently. Anyone see any similarities I’m missing?
And we are back with more historical hypothetical polls, this time it is:
English monarchs and nobles round two!
I am so excited to see who you choose this time.
Most of these are from periods of time I’m interested in. So a lot of it is mediaeval and Tudor. There will be more rounds so if you have any figures you really want to see a certain figure in a poll, please submit it.
I spend a good hour or so checking the fanfiction of the people I put in my polls first just to see what it’s like. I know I shouldn’t be surprised with fanfiction at this point but some of the stuff, I swear.
LIKE WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A WWE CROSSOVER WITH THE TUDORS?!!
Why is there Vince McMahon fanfiction? Just why? Especially considering the stuff going on with Vince McMahon right now.
It takes a long time for a nonfaceless to need glasses or contacts, but it happens quicker with diesels and steamers with q face right under the cab, like a j70 or a class 35, and is only just a bit slower in locomotives with "noses" or smokeboxes, but this is also taken into account on how long blindness will take depending on the length of the nose or the smokebox from the cab.
Locomotives and stock that use contacts probably are running services that are faster and is more likely to cause wind to be blown in the face. This applies to engines like Gordon, Neville, James, Henry, and many others.
Slower engines like Glynn or Steven use glasses, and Toby with his wife, Henrietta (when those 2 aren't speeding down the mainline at 60mph.)
