Hello Hello! Long time no see, hope everyone’s been doing well!

Sorry for the unintentional hiatus - I moved to a new place beginning of the month and have been unpacking, setting up, and settling in.

<.<; Turns out doing so does take up a lot of time and energy, and art and AUs have been on the back burner (where they kind of stalled into a small art block OTL.) I still have ideas and plans for the future but have been working on getting back into the art groove. I have a bunch of almost finished stuff, that I just need a little kick to finally complete.

^^ I’m very happy to see that new AUs and fics have popped up recently as well as a few of my fav fics being updated - so stay tuned for some fanart of those coming in the future.

So yeah small life update - I promise I didn’t fall out of the fandom, just working around adulting and being in a new place. (QAQ I finally have free time)

So.

I see you guys discovered the Tumblr Boop feature.

I can't possibly keep up with booping everyone back, so I hope you guys will accept this as a response instead! :'D

Say what you will about the DC timeline but we all know the truth, Jason Todd uses AO3 and has an account despite not understanding these new fangle technological advancements (hes fucking with Tim he understands what cookies are, it pisses off Tim more than anything else Jason has done)

the other thing about luz taking a break from ruling the kingdom is that raine CAN handle the administrative stuff (and is much more politically aligned with luz than anyone else in government), but the person who makes the MOST sense to actually interface with the public is...... lilith. lilith who is largely lost without explicit direction but also really Really wants to do a good job and prove herself

please help me imagine what amity's day-to-day is like. during this time.

Lmao okay wait. I got asked that question about Feyre/Bryce/Aelin and I went down a lil rabbit hole and somehow ended up on a subreddit of people arguing over who would win in a fight if it were Feyre vs. Aelin.

And I am CACKLING right now because it seems like the bulk of people on that thread think Aelin would win, and the people who think Feyre would win are SO. UPSET. Like they are BIG MAD that anyone would think Aelin would win hahahahahaha

I'm cackling. I can't breathe I'm laughing so hard omfg. People really do 100% project themselves onto Feyre. They really think they ARE Feyre!!!!! I'm crying. Send help I can't breathe 😂😂

"The character of Hans Hermann von Katte through the eyes of Wilhelmine von Bayreuth, sister of the King of Prussia"

So I wrote an article about them for class, and since it was Wilhelmine's birthday (july 3rd), I decided to post it here. It's a bit long and entirely in French so i'm gonna translate it all (mistakes incoming, hope there won't be too much) but slowly, so for now, enjoy the introduction/context of our dear blorbo's lives!

The memoirs of someone are a fascinating way to tell History as a story, creating a better approach for the reader, and also can be considered as reading for entertainment. Here we will talk about some extracts from those of Wilhelmine von Bayreuth (1709-1758), princess of Prussia, who, in more than informing us about the conditions of his daily life, gives us information on the life of his brother, Frederick, as well as on the mysterious main character of this article, Hans Hermann von Katte.

The kingdom of Prussia experienced a real growth during the 18th century, under the reign of King Frederick II, known as “the Great”. Reigning from 1740 to 1786, he is known to be a great war leader, but also an important figure of the famous intellectual, philosophical and artistic movement of the Enlightenment. He was a complex character, deeply influenced by the events that occurred during his life. We will focus here on one of these events, perhaps the most marking of his life, and constituting a decisive turning point in his self-development: the so-called “Katte” affair or “the escape of 1730”.

We’re in 1730, Frederick just turned eighteen and has been suffering for more than twelve years of mental and physical abuse from his father, King Frederick William. The latter believing that his son, a bad soldier and good artist - the opposite of the Ideal Prussian - is a disgrace to the country. The young man is exhausted from all of this and considers a radical solution to escape his suffering, whether by fleeing the country - probably for England, via France - or by suicide. He confides on this point to his two closest confidants, his elder sister Wilhelmine and his friend - and (more than) certainly lover - Hans Hermann von Katte, a lieutenant of the Gens d’Armes.

In August, the decision was made: it would be the escape one. After trying to make him renounce, Katte decides to accompany Frederick in his project, and to flee with him, ignoring the consequences. They will be helped by another friend, Peter von Keith, former page of the prince. The plan went as well as one could expect from the one of a desperate teenager, the organisation was bad, and our three friends were caught. Only Keith was able to escape, the other two were thrown into prison, and, after weeks of rigorous interrogation aimed at determining whether this escape had purpose to overthrow the king, the verdict fell: they were guilty of desertion. The martial court condemned Katte to be imprisoned for life, and turned to Frederick-William, not considering itself qualified enough to judge the crown prince. In one of his infamous anger moments, the king decided to “break” once and for all the mind of his rebellious son by having Katte executed and forcing his son to watch. As we can expect, it was a terrible trauma for Frederick, and we can find its impact throughout his life.

But, let's focus back on Katte. Although surrounded by an aura of tragic destiny worthy of a Shakespeare tragedy, only few sources give details about who he really was. The point of view that will interest us here is the one of Wilhelmine, who knew him personally and wrote about him in her memoirs. These, having been written years after the facts, as well as the subjectivity of the person concerned, depict us a colourful portrait of Katte and his actions, allowing us to think about this type of sources and their historiographical value. In this, we will focus on two passages: Katte's presentation, as well as his last conversation with Wilhelmine.

To be continued...

🐒25 Dec '22🚴‍♀️🦴

Twas the night before christmas Louis' birthday when suddenly I recalled- I sat bolt up in shock- I'd forgotten a promise to yall! It was a christmas day, you see, back in 2018, that Simon Cowell dramatically demonstrated exactly how brilliant he is when thinking things up all on his own rather than taking credit for a woman's ideas- he would be starting a new band he said, of CGI monkeys!! One of them would be modelled after Harry Styles! Sadly someone slapped him out of whatever drugged stupor led to telling the press about that brainstorm, and we never heard about it again... except from me, who had made a vow to Never Forget and to bring it up every xmas forever and ever (because I can only assume Simon would hate that.) He still hasn't learned though, just this year he hyped up an AI deepfake of himself made with that very same technology- he really just so transparently wants a band without any pesky rebellious humans in it, yikes. The fact is, the man is a clown all year every year, so may I present… a 2022 review!

Sadly, the year's biggest Cowell news was but a hoax- he did not in fact die, yet. However, he did lose a tooth, get COVID, and fall off his electric bike and end up in the hospital AGAIN, proving that ill wishes (mine) can come true to some extent! And not to worry, there's still hope for next year- apparently he still bikes around without a helmet daily. A recent TV appearance had his fans (??! sounds fake but okay) "distracted by his incredibly smooth visage"- allegedly his botox and other modifications got to the point that his son was "in hysterics" at the site of him, a clever turn of phrase that implies tears but could also mean he was laughing his ass off- me too kid, me too. Although The Sun continue to print only flattering and respectful articles- almost as if they had some kind of relationship or agreement with him?! wow this is Brand New Information- the Daily Mail definitely got the brief that tis the season for making fun of Cowell, and have been running an endless series of articles about his "many faces through the years" and "melting mug". They were denied the opportunity with his most recent TV appearance however, as he did that interview with a shadow strategically cast across himself like a low tech witness protection gambit. Perhaps, I thought, some of the issue was with the confusing and scary sounding 25 pound face masks he was reportedly doing, but it turned out that was merely an audio based misunderstanding- it was sponcon for a £25 face mask, boring.

He continues to talk up his son in interviews, bragging that the kid is a great talent spotter and he "leans on him" for opinions (that I can believe) but if you're skeptical that Simon would actually let himself be upstaged, you're quite right! Consider: he also had some things to say about what his cancelled show The X Factor would look like if it came back. The tabs report that he "is adamant that the judges should be industry insiders such as A&R people rather than artists because they are better judges of talent and less jealous of bright young artists.” Sounds like SOMEONE is jealous all right but it's not an artist judge! I think we all remember who stole the show and the hearts of multiple nations- not to mention those of scores of allegedly straight men- on the last season of TXF while spotting and nurturing the talent who went on to win it all, all while making fun of Simon at every opportunity: yes indeed, it was bright young artist and Guest Judge Louis Tomlinson! Gosh who could have seen THAT coming? Possibly the actual visionary of TXF, Nicole Scherzinger, another guest judge who upstaged Simon- most recently when footage of her forming 1D was finally released on the 10th anniversary. She said she was surprised it had survived, that she assumed he had "burned it" (to bolster his decade long lie that it was he who had had the world-changing idea.) But no, she says, in fact it was "the way that my mind grapes were working" which is, um, a very weird way of putting that, but it WORKED OUT GREAT so who am I to quibble with the way her grapejuice flows.

Meanwhile just when you thought we were free of NFT type annoyances Zayn invited us to join the metaverse, no thank you, but get that cash babe and a happy holidays to you and to all our boys: to Liam, acting like he has to make up for the few months off the radar by posting an equivalent amount of insta stories before the end of the year, to Niall, taking a break from taking over tiktok to tease about how busy he'll be next year, to Harry, dousing himself in freezing water in the UK while pap pics of him in LA were dropped, and to Louis, 31 (!!) now and hopefully with some wonderful plans over his long awaited break before another jam packed year of winning. And to all out there, a very let me be your good night and all the love!

Oh my god it is actually staring to hurt how little there is for greyghost 😭😭😭

Ao3 has over 200 fics of them, I read almost all of them already (some twice) except the ones I can't physically stomach, I went to fanfic.net cuz I thought "Hey, that place existed before Ao3, should be more, right?"

WRONG!

Seems like Greyghost is a recent phenomenon or something cuz fanfic net had only 33 fanfics in total, most actually being recently and already reuploaded to Ao3 and I've already read them too

Unless I fucked something up in the filters cuz fanfic still kinda trips me out a little gkdksja

I so wish this ship had more attention and love tbh 😔 and I barely got time in my hands to contribute, I wrote like one fic and that's it, I gotta revisit my DP lore cuz man some thing I do not remember happening gkskska
