#Thank you for the ask! ^^

[enlitment]

I hope you're having a good day! It's always a delight seeing your thoughts on my dash. What modern invention do you think would be funniest to give to the French revolutionaries?

Hi, thank you so much for the lovely message! Same here 😊

I personally think it would be really fun to go back and give them a digital camera, along with some means of developing photos. (that's also me being just a tiny bit selfish with my answer, since it would give us a lot of great additional primary sources)

I'd be super curious to see the main events, but also:

I want to see the awkwardly staged group photos of the committee members (I'm picturing the kind where one is hugging the other person around the shoulders while the other is visibly uncomfortable and tries to keep as much distance as physically possible)

I just know Jacques-Louis David would learn to love photography! We'd have all the republican festivals aesthetic photos as well as a moving tribute from Marat's funeral

There would definitely be so many photos of Robespierre circulating throughout Paris. Everyone would want to get them signed. Same for Saint-Just probably.

I'd be really curious to find out who'd be the first one to take a selfie (one of these weird kind of blurry ones, with something cool in the background that you can't really see that much). My bets are on Camille or Bon Bon.

Last but not least, it leaves us with the great opportunity for Fabre d'Églantine to commission a Revolutionary photo calendar. Same pictures, but now with live models (preferably the revolutionaries themselves, or the women of the revolution - they definitely deserve a spotlight!)

Are iciclestalk and Glowstar mates?

they are mates, yes! they have been since moon 5 i believe ^^ i didnt necessarily make a point to address it, which is my fault tbh, but they’re such a subtle pair that i think they wouldn’t make a big fuss about it. to me, they just love each other and care about each other, and thats all that matters!

Hello baby, I hope you are having a wonderful day, a quick question, how many years has Jack( Ginny's stalker) been in prison? and also we never saw how his case went, his parents help him at least?

Hiya love! I'm having a pretty decent day! I hope you are too 💖

It's been almost 10 years since Jack got himself imprisoned. During the trial, his parents did try to help him but Ginny's family just have a better case against him, they've got witnesses, proof, and even Rainier helped her out too. And Jack was also hiding a Wanted fugitive from Alnwick so...it wasn't looking good for him 😬The full trial didn't have it's own post but it was shown in a montage here.

His family is now a fallen ducal family back in WA sooo the Kents are no more 😬

Thanks for answering my question about asks and requests (: you are very kind

As an ask then how do you think the Weasels will be when drunk? I don't think they are all so inclined to drink, Stu for example seems too childlike for it, but it's a fun scenario to imagine 🍷

Of course!! ^^ Sorry it took me a moment to respond to this one, work is exhausting 😅

~

Toon Patrol x Drinking

Greasy: Greasy values his wit and self control (... when it doesn't involve pretty women I mean) too much to partake. Even if everyone else is drinking and acting like drongos around him he'll be sharp as a knife.

Psycho: L o v e s to try a new drink XD According to him they're like little gas leaks in his mouth and chest and he loves the horrible feeling! XD Generally Psy wont get d r u n k, cuz he only tries a few sips each time, but if Stu is on a roll with making them then Psycho w i l l end up pissed and thats not good for anyone 😅 If you thought e was feral before- you haven't seen him on all fours moving at Top Speed.

I raise you (or anyone else who may feel compelled to respond XD ) another thought: Psycho and energy drinks XD

Smartass: Honestly I cant really see Smartass drinking that much 🤔 if ever 🤔 I feel like people will disagree with me but... eh. Maybe sometimes he'll have something? If he's REALLY stressed and annoyed?? XD

Stupid: I actually think Stupid w o u l d be a drinker!! XD I dunno, to each their own of course!! ^^💛💛💛 I just don't really think of Stupid as childlike. I think of him as d u m b, of course, really really dumb, but not childlike. I think he'd be the one experimenting with mixes and different cocktails?? XD Just imagining Stu in the kitchen shaking up a drink and offering a taste to Psy and Wheezy XD And Stu taking on the group therapist mantel when he's got that shaker in his ands, like *hands Wheezy a pink drink like a flower* duhh are you okay?? do ya wanna talk about it?? And Smartass automatically handing the drink menu over to him (Which Stu immediately ours through, like 'ooh!') if they go out XD Stu is a big boy, too, so its hard for him to get truly h a m m e r e d, but he can get there XDD Luckily, he's a nice drunk! XD

Wheezy: Wheezy can f o r s u r e hold his booze the best XD It takes a lot to get him drunk (even tipsy). If he drinks, it doesn't really take away any of his inhibitions; its just to loosen up. He's definitely one to go for a few drinks at the end of the week (He needs it after working with these freaks XD)... but its usually interrupted with a. Greasy being there and hitting on someone and him having to bail Greasy's horny green ass outta trouble (Unless he just ignores it, which is more common. But even then Greasy will d r a g him into it XD *Greasy getting dragged from the pub* el fumador help meeee! i'm being falsely accused!! Wh- dont ignore me!- hey! you with the body odor!!- fucks sake.), b. Smartass drags them back to work. In either case, he is sure to down s o m e t h i n g before he's gotta get up off the bar stool he feels he belongs on.

Akechi is quite a diversive character. Did you know there are diffrences in the dialouge throughout the game based on if you have done his confidant or not?

If you want to learn more about the characters, arcana, and/ or Japanese details and settings that come as part of the experience but may fly over western audiances heads, check out Lady Virgilia, a japanese amarican with a degree in social and political science, who makes some pretty fantastic videos on the topics.

For writing reaserch maybe (fingers crossed)

I've done pretty much only two things for the past two weeks: write a dimiclaude comm, and play this game. So rest assured I will be cooking up a fic in the near future.

That being said: I'm waiting for two P5R playthroughs before forming a solid opinion on both what Akechi is supposed to be and what he ends up being, because my feelings toward him did essentially a 180 after the introduction of the third semester, which according to word on the street is Royal-exclusive and not in the base game. The current plan is to do a NG+ run aiming for the exact same ending, to see if my initial impressions hold true--because they were never 100% uncharitable. But I'll bit my tongue until I at least whoop Maruki's ass lmao.

Anyway, I've saved LadyVirgilia's Akechi video to my Watch Later, which I'll watch after th NG+ run, and the rest I'll listen to as I actually do the run because I'm a sucker for meta content ❤️.

I didn't look that hard, but I'd love if there were a datamine for P5R; it's an unfair ask given the scope of the game, but FE3H's is eternally my best friend and most handy dandy tool for writing 💔 might just have to poke my nose around YouTube instead.

Emergency: Help save my children's lives

Dear humanity,

I am Habib from Gaza. I am married and have four children: Menna, 12 years old, Adam, 10 years old (suffering from quadriplegia), Maria, 6 years old, and Ezz, one year old. Although they are young, they have survived previous wars, but this current war is the most difficult of all. This is a war of genocide, and the difficulty of the war lies in the inability to meet the needs of my son Adam, who needs special care.

Over the past ten months, we have been caught in the crossfire of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Our once peaceful home in Khan Yunis has been reduced to rubble, and now we find ourselves displaced in Deir al-Balah, living in squalid conditions in a makeshift tent on the streets. The devastation not only deprived us of our physical shelter, but also destroyed my livelihood - the once thriving business that supported our family's well-being, is now in ruins. The daily struggle for survival is exacerbated by the scarcity of basic necessities such as clean water, adequate sanitation and basic medical supplies

Our home was the place where we found hope and safety, and where we made precious memories. Losing him was like losing years of our lives.

Not only that, they destroyed my source of livelihood, burned it, and demolished it with bulldozers, and today I am without a home and without a job. I was working in a store I owned that met the needs and expenses of my family

Living in tents is miserable. There is a lack of drinking water, hot sun rays, and strange insects that have terrified my children. What hurts me most is my young son Ezz, who I see growing up in an unclean environment and with no healthy food for him. I believe he has not received his right to life.

At this stage, my husband and I decided to go to you and create an account on the Go Fund Me website and ask you to help us in these difficult times until we get out of Gaza, from the land of war to the land of peace. All we need from you is to support us and help us to get out of the war, even if you cannot help. You should spread the word. This campaign is everywhere and among your friends. We thank you for your stance and support for us. Thank you, my friends

The amount that will be collected from this campaign :

We will spend it by paying the amount to coordinate entry through the Rafah land crossing, which connects Gaza to the State of Egypt, since, as I mentioned, they charge an adult $5,000, but depending on the pressures, crises, and waiting, the amount may reach $7,000 per person, and children $2,500 to $4,000.

We will also use it for the rest of the travel and safe transportation expenses to provide for all family members.

A video of my children's lives living the war

May God reward you with all the best and may God bless you

Best wishes with sincere gratitude,

Habib's family

Since the Canada griffin was proudly mentioned recently I figure it can’t hurt to ask if you do happen to have plans to design Canada griffin goslings at some point in the future? (muse permitting)

I DO NOW.

14 and 33 for the ask game

Thank you for the ask! ^^

14. What’s something surprising about you?

I'm trying to think of something that would count as surprising. I feel like a lot of stereotypical assumptions people might have about me will probably be accurate 😅

I guess the fact that I don't really enjoy romance in media (books, TV shows, movies etc.)?

There are a few notable exceptions, and I like some books or movies that feature romance, but there always has to be something else that draws me in. I do love the romantic movement but I definitely wouldn't describe myself as a romantic person.

33. What's your favorite current class?

I like all my classes this semester, but my favourite has got to be Language, Gender, and Power.

We've recently covered queer linguistics and it was super interesting! We got to analyse the language of M/M craigslist ads and got assigned a lot of fascinating articles

Obsessed with little Lima Bean Baby Dami. I feel like Bruce would pass out from cuteness if he witnessed his child looking like that.

Talia should send Damian's baby pics to Bruce lol

List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore ♥♥♥

GIGIGGGGIGIII!!!! Thank you for this ask 🥺❤️

I'm gonna do Leon's momma, Annaleigh for this one!

Annaleigh's nickname is "Annie".

She and Maximus were arranged to be married when they were around 23 years old.

She is the only daughter of a Duke. In Astor, there's only 3 ducal families. The Castiellos (Annie's family), the Hastings (Astrid's family), and the Scheffeurs. Amongst the three ducal families, the Castiellos have the highest standing and influence.

When Max took her assistant Nerissa as his second wife, Annaleigh was pissed because Nerissa is only the daughter of a Baron. Him doing this felt like a slap to her face and was insulting to her.

She has an older brother.

hbomberguy’s latest video on plagiarism has made me completely rethink literature and writing. I have never once so much as considered intentionally plagiarizing anyone or anything, but I think there’s something more that has come out of this: the names of the people who created the works Somerton (and others) ripped off.

Plagiarism isn’t only bad because it is lazy and disrespectful, it’s bad because it buries the truth. If you can’t find a source, the conversation is over. Somerton’s sources are fairly easy to find by simply searching his plagiarized lines, but that isn’t true in most cases. Most of the time, the line from statement to source is a lot less clear.

Today, I was writing a report on English Ivy, which is an invasive species here in the US. I wanted to know when it was introduced and I at last found a source claiming it was introduced to the Americas “as early as 1727” on a .net website that seems quite reputable (it has multiple major universities credited in its home page), but there is no citation for where this date came from. I dug deeper and found a pamphlet created by a city government in Virginia that made the same claim, only to discover the first source linked in their bibliography. Another website (a botanical garden’s page) gave the same date with the same source hyperlinked. Of course, I have classes to attend and things to do and probably not enough time to follow the lines back to where this 1727 date came from, but if I had not just watched this video, I wouldn’t have given that date a second thought.

Of course, it doesn’t matter in the long run exactly what year hedera helix was introduced to the Americas, but it makes you wonder how many facts have been so vaguely attributed that it becomes completely impossible to figure out where they originated (and further, whether or not they’re true at all).

OO! Also for the ask game. Galacta Knight, 7 and 8

(With regards to this ask game)

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

Oug, I've barely been dipping my toes into the fandom lately, there are few things I can think of that the fandom really does with Galacta Knight on a regular basis. ^^;

At the same time, I kind of like the variety! There's very little to go off of when it comes to characterization, and what little there is comes from secondary sources (Galactic NOVA, Star Dream) or pause screen descriptions, it seems. But I love how the fandom has so many different portrayals of him, ranging from him being just the sweetest dork who never deserved what he got, to an absolute menace who I want to hunt for sport. :>

I do like, also, when people in the fandom write him interacting with the Ancients -- the people who presumably imprisoned him. It can be so fascinating, and so laden with characterization, and I love it.

I also like the pretty consistent portrayals of him being free-spirited -- perhaps to a fault, at times -- and I've seen like two or three people give him a love of strawberries, I think. I don't know why, I just love that little detail. It makes him seem more... human, which makes any angst all the more of a punch to the gut.

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

Again, there's not a whole lot I can think of at the moment that the fandom is really cohesive about when it comes to portraying Galacta Knight, and I don't think that I really despise any of them -- though despise is a very strong word.

The biggest thing I can think of is maybe shipping him with Meta Knight, but that's because I'm simply not a fan of romantic metagala (and shipping is something I tend to not touch in the Kirby fandom, anyway, due to some behaviors I've observed in the past). Like, ship whoever, but that one just doesn't do it for me.

The only other thing I can think of is taking away his emotions -- I can understand why, but I personally tend to like the portrayals of him that paint him as a highly emotional, volatile sort of character. Especially with being sealed away, presumably against his will, and presumably either undeservedly or with good reason, I like seeing those emotions pushed to a wild, virulent extent. However, that's less of a dislike and more of a personal preference.

Thank you for the ask! I wasn't expecting to get one for a Kirby character, but I'm really excited that I did! I don't talk about Kirby enough on this blog, it is like 50% of my childhood (the rest is FFCC and TLoZ:TP) and a consistently recurring obsession, and it's been on the brain lately.

So! Thank you! And I hope you have a very good day! ^^
