#I can't quite believe this

[acrossthewavesoftime]

I just bought a set of 170-200 year old cherry wood chairs in great condition, recently upholstered according to historic practices for 60 Euro apiece. They were cheaper than buying chairs of a similar comfort level at Ikea. I can't quite believe this. They will last me a lifetime! :D

I'm on chpt20 and I want to study SQQ like a bug. My man is flushed, hair down, robes literally falling off his shoulders, LBH on his lap playing with his hair and kissing him... and he finally cottons on to the fact that maybe this isn't how you have a platonic and important discussion. Enforces it for all of five seconds at which point LBH starts massaging his waist and SQQ is back to being like "yeah this is fine and normal". Amazing. Can't believe he insults the IQ of SQH's characters.

obsessed with the fact that if you choose the last purple option in lucanis' romance chat before going off to tearstone island ("they MOVED the MOON!!!" still in the running for the best delivery in the whole game btw it's so ineffably hilarious to me), it's rook who flinches away just a little bit (if still warmly <3) and tries to change the topic and lucanis who's steady even though he's clearly still so afraid. 'don't tempt fate'/'*the softest fucking voice you've ever heard in your entire life* I don't intend to'. pain and suffering

lucanis looking at rook and helplessly, with a wonder that verges on despair, saying 'what would I do without you?' is soooo. especially at that point in the relationship and with what's about to happen. and for whatever reason rook can't quite stay with the fact that they do mean that much to someone, that they are so reverently and so groundingly 'I want to know what your favourite food is so I can make it for you any time you want it' everyday loved, it's too much and they have to deflect from it or the fear of losing it. can say some very interesting things about them, too.

(there is also a Pattern in that in my estimation lucanis frequently responds better to inviting humour than to earnest shows of concern -- it seems to help him be more engaged/online to be offered that more neutral space to meet you in and uh 'build' the conversation around something funny together than to be confronted with compassion head-on because that clearly mostly deer-in-the-headlights him, as we also see with some of the early flirt options haha. contrast this especially with bellara, who repeatedly gets genuinely upset if you try to make light of some pressing and painful situation she's dealing with (girl I'm so sorry I'm so jestercore and I canot change this but I'll try :'( for you). I think the times lucanis reacts negatively to the purple options are much more about you siding with other (frequently more charismatic lol) people against him or throwing him under the bus interpersonally -- like seeming to go along with illario's charm offensives, or telling teia lucanis didn't want to come help out with caterina's funeral and he'd just sit alone and brood about it if you didn't force him (???!!! hello??? unprovoked and deeply unkind out of left field???? this option is so fucking MEAN and for what fhdaskjfa you're telling me there's no way for rook to be a bit of a dick in this game?)

when it's one on one conversation he consistently seems to find it quite comforting, though... which makes a lot of sense because in many ways it's how he interacts with illario, just shorn of the resentments and hidden daggers and things they Do Not Talk About but really should beneath the levity that makes it sharp. it's gone ugly between them, but I think the affectionate instinct beneath is real and goes back a long way before all of that festered -- it's a form of play he does with people he loves. and uh. not really caterina huh. notably.)

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry

Danny moved to Gotham.

Freakshow is touring in Gotham.

Freakshow knows Danny is in Gotham.

Danny knows Freakshow is still after him.

Danny's faith in heroes has been shattered.

Danny turns to the only person powerful enough to run Freakshow out of town, hopefully for good.

Danny turns to the Joker for help.

The Joker is looking for a new punching bag sidekick after Harley Quinn left him.

Danny is just the perfect person to be shaped by the Joker's hands.

Danny becomes the new Joker Junior.

"Just wanna be, wanna bewitch you in the moonlight...!"

I think it's pretty well-established Cardi is a great dancer - or waltz-foot, as we'd say in my country. So here he is: the waltzing Papa dancing with death in a very Dracula attire and some "horns" made of ghostly fabric ;)

You can find the photo I used as a pose reference to this drawing right here: pinterest photo link.

Also: why does it look like a fairy tale illustration? Well, yours truly is a sucker for Illuminated Manuscripts and Illustrations. I showed this to my mom, saying I wanted to draw a frame around it, but had no ideas. She told me to do "my kind of beautiful frames" - and that's what she meant: the Illuminated sort-of frames I study on my free time. Enter Count Copia waltzing under the moonlight, Dance Macabre quote and all.

TLDR: blame it on my mom :)

I had the worst idea. And with that, I mean one of my usual ideas about Descendants that can explain things and make me sad at the same time.

Belle is dead.

No, okay, that's not canon, or it may be in a certain way, just listen to me for a second.

She doesn't make sense, both she and Beast act and reason in ways that have nothing to do with their cartoon (or even live-action) counterparts, that's easy to see.

Now, we can retcon the whole franchise and simply make her disappear, let's say she died when Ben was little (just like Adam's mother in the live-action...) and Beast half-repeated history out of grief (bad temper, seclusion, not listening to anyone...), so he went a little back on his worst habits and let Fairy Godmother and Leah make all sort of important decisions in his place. See, fixed. Disney should hire me lol.

Or, for a more complicated theory: the one we see isn't the real Belle. Because she died and no one really knows save for the one(s) who brought her back from the dead. But it's notorious that people who come back from death don't quite get back right, no? So, Belle is different because she can't be the same.

Even more complicated? Hell yeah. See, in some versions of the tale, Belle is a changeling, a fairy child left in the cradle of the real youngest daughter of the merchant in place of his almost-dead one. (in some other versions she's the daughter of the merchant with a fairy, sometimes the mom is the very fairy who cursed the Beast, but that's not what we're talking about here). So, what if the real Belle is the one we see in Descendants? Think about it: fairy Belle dies but baby Prince Ben needs a mom, the kingdom needs a High Queen, and the Beast will go out of his mind if he loses the love of his life and Auradon isn't stable enough for that, so the fairies simply switch them back again, the human Belle with the changeling. No one sees the difference, or they call it postpartum stress or whatever, but she is different in all those subtle ways.

Ben never finds out.

(Well, until Mal figures it out somehow. Or Hades, very likely for the second one)
