[winchesterswhore]

do you ever look at a man and think i need you in the most disgusting, vile, pathetic, animalistic, disturbing, vulgar and morally questionable way possible

Is it still daddy issues if the guys I like are younger than my dad. Yes, they are older than me by 20+ years but it’s STILL YOUNGER than my dad. So I technically don’t have daddy issues.

dimension twentober day four: zac oyama!

thought one of these little + charts would be fun with all of his characters, especially since he plays so many Characters Ever.

(cumulous is starred because i never actually watched ACOC, so I don't really have a read on him. lapin is posted about a Lot more!)

id and little joke below cut!

[Begin ID.]

a quadrant chart containing all of zac oyama's d20 characters. the upper side is labelled 'party assumes competency'; the bottom is labelled 'party assumes incompetency'; the left is labelled 'incompetent'; the right is labelled 'competent'. lapin is in the upper right corner. PIB is in the middle and the furthest right. gorgug is lower than middle and halfway right. ricky is close to the middle but slightly left. colin is in the top left corner. skip is in the middle of the upper left quadrant. squing is on the line, halfway between the middle and 'incompetent'. norman is in the middle between the two upper quadrants. cumulous is in the very center. all of them are drawn simply with very silly faces.

[End ID.]

It's very late middle ages / age of Christianity for me and the fandom (the show but tbh they took the christian/norman influences to the MAX so) to assume women held few roles of power/authority/influence

I mean I don't have a history degree and I don't know a lot but I know boudica was a badass warrior lady who led armies against the Romans only ~500 years before King Arthur could have lived. And if the native people (or the Welsh natives specifically who managed to mostly avoid roman subjugation to my knowledge) were to continue any types of traditions or ways of life id assume it would be that women could be druidesses/priestesses, possibly even warriors and certainly queens.

Anyway morgana being only the king's ward, "powerless" in her own castle/home, and not even allowed a chance at a throne that is her birthright, kind of doesn't make sense?

Like if Uther was trying to be sneaky and marry the half siblings to each other to solve the succession issue I guess that makes sense?? Especially having her spend so much time in the castle. But they make Morgana's swordfighting skills this novel thing, mentioned only really a few times in the whole show, mostly in season one it feels like. If she was raised with a blade as the daughter of a knight she could/should be a knight too, just like Arthur. She could be his official second in command, since her known status is lower than his, but yet higher than sat Leon's because her father was such an important knight.

Bristol City Centre (Castle Park)

This image shows Castle Park (Image dated 1988) Once an area of medieval buildings and streets in the centre of Bristol which were blitzed in the 1940's during WWII and totally destroyed. This site is also the land on which the original Bristol Castle was built.

Bristol Castle was a Norman castle built for the defence of Bristol. Remains can be seen today in Castle Park near the Broadmead Shopping Centre, including the sally port. Built during the reign of William the Conqueror, and later owned by Robert FitzHamon, it later became an important royal castle and happened to be the scene of several imprisonments and executions. Several fortifications and additions to the castle were made between the 12th–13th century under Robert of Gloucester and King Henry III. It was mostly neglected by the 16th century and torn down in 1656 under orders from Oliver Cromwell. It was one of the largest Norman Castles ever built.

Now, as can be seen from this image it has become a recreational area for the city, with parklands, walks, and rest areas, retaining it's strong links with a troubled and historic past....
