i keep meaning to ask, then i forget, the small gods that are there in HTBHH, is that a terry pratchet reference?

Oh, I'm so pleased you noticed- always nice to meet another Pratchett fan! His work has had such a fundamental influence on who I am as a person, and I would be a liar and a thief to deny any influence on my writing.

When I first wrote the small gods, I always had in the back of my head the little presences that Brutha encounters on his trek across the desert in Small Gods. But while those gods are... leftovers, in a sense, the last scraps of what they were when they were believed in (if I'm remembering correctly; it's been a while), my gods definitely originate more from the way Pratchett writes belief in Hogfather. The idea that belief can create all its own lodged somewhere behind my ribs and stuck there.

Anyway. Discworld turns 40 today, so if anyone reading this hasn't read it yet, consider this my plea to you to try out the series that has become such a foundational influence on who I am as a person. Small Gods is a great starting point, and maybe once you finish it, you'll be willing to check out the charts as to what you might want to read next!

Question about Erzsebet, with her characterization are you going with the ‘serial killer with a body count in the hundreds and bathed in the blood of virgins to keep herself young and beautiful’ or are you going with a different approach more aligned with historical events?

Ohohoho, now THIS is a juicy subject. Thank you for asking it, anon. I have thoughts.

In studying Elizabeth Bathory for this fic, I was frankly stunned by the amount of poor scholarship that is attached to her name. It seems that due to the grandiosity of the reputation she has earned through the centuries as urban legends circulate and rumors weaved their way into the actual historical accounts, she became a figure so larger-than-life that our patriarchal society cannot seem to get it right. Even the best account I've been able to find, Kimberly L Craft's Infamous Lady still harbors some citation hiccups and lapses in scholarship, even though it's what I have understood to be the most reliable recounting of the real events. Between her kill count being grossly inflated (although still incredibly high, by any serial killer's standards), rumors of her being a lesbian (based in strictly lesbophobic ideas about women's psychology vis a vis Bathori's favored targets being little girls), her vanity (the whole 'bathing in bathtubs' thing, based in misogyny) and issues of class, there exist a whole forests' worth of weeds to cut through if you want an accurate picture. The scholarship still isn't fully there.

To answer your question, yes, I am going with an approach more aligned with the real history, as best I can reason. Her kill count is not that of several hundred, but still the several dozen confirmed kills we have to her name. Her 'bathing in blood' accounts are, in my AU, read more as a misunderstanding of poetic embellishments - more a sense of 'she spilled so much blood that it drenched her and her clothes from head to toe due to the sheer brutality of her torture sessions,' rather than literally filling a bathtub with blood. This can be seen in scenes in Lesions of a Different Kind, such as her awkward lodging scene with Judah in which he finds that she has torn open and all but frolicked about inside the chest cavity of a very large bodybuilder of a man. While she is absolutely a megalomaniac in my fic, it's less about the appearance of beauty, and more about her ability to inflict her will on others - and her obsession with tearing others down from their perceived pedestals. In her memoirs, she occasionally writes things that smack intensely of resentment of the existing royal and patriarchal order, and give the impression that her murders came from a sense of thumbing her nose at the hoity-toity expectations placed upon her by the system, and a petty power trip to make her feel like she was escaping from it by inflicting cruelty just as the men of her time did.

Can I just scream about how adorable it is for Ryan’s mom to also call Shane, “Shaney” on the watcher instagram birthday post for him!

OMG DID SHE?!?!! THAT IS SO CUTE 😭🫶 i really love that she has basically taken shane in as a third son 🫶

one of my favorite things is that she calls shane “uncle shane” in reference to her dogs and I think it is SO SWEET 😭 she’s just like, “these dogs are ryan’s babies so that must make shane the uncle” and it is so damn adorable.

with ryan’s mom calling shane “shaney” and “uncle shane”, and with ryan referring to shane as his chosen family, I LITERALLY CANNOT WITH THEM 😭🫶 CUTIESSS!!!

Just read chapter 8 and gosh Rab was tweaking so much 😭 but I love how in his final moments it was kinda like he was starting to act like a child I almost felt bad, I kinda think of it as how since rab was the favorite he never lost or had anything bad happened to him but since he actually did lost he’s now emotional because of it.

KDJWKJR he lost it and he died because of it. L bozo

haha I'm glad you feel bad for him 😈 (taps my fingers together evilly)

YES that's such an interesting way to think about it!! wont say much bc I dont want to spoil anything from the last chapter but Tarbell WAS the first person to like. be actually close to Rab so it was pretty awful for Rab when he bit the dust 😬

[scrambledd3ggss]

Thoughts on Andie Bell?? I feel like throughout agggtm we sort of piece fragments of her life together, and learn who she was as she goes. I didn’t expect to get so attached to her character, but I feel like Andie represents the complexity of being human. Yes she was cruel and unkind, but she was raised at that way, not pardoning her for the awful things she did to Nat, but I definitely feel for her character. What are your thoughts? (Ps did anyone tear up when pip and Ravi broke into her room and pip had a momnent where she started to see Andie as more than just a a person on a crime board?😭)

wowowowow okay so!

In the first book once we start uncovering things about andie (like her selling drugs and her “relationship” with Elliot) I was starting to dislike her. I mean, who would like someone who spread nudes of a poor girl. I didn’t like how the media framed her (like a perfect angel who was a wonderful person) and I felt bad for all the people affected by her actions (like Nat). Then we find out about the night she died and I really hated her. How do you say those things to your sister who was raped by someone who bought YOUR drugs!? I did feel and that she was abused by her dad though

then I read as good as dead and AGHHHH!!! It’s just so tragic. She did everything for Becca. She wanted to run away from home with Sal. she knew about her dad but couldn’t say anything or else she would be next. She was abused by her dad and that’s one of the reasons she is who she is. She just wanted to escape everything and help her sister and live with her boyfriend. i think her existence as a character is just further proof that seeing things in black and white, good and bad, isn’t how things really work

I like andie. She was a shitty person and if she was real I probably wouldn’t like her, but when you know everything shes been through, it’s hard to hate her

The reason why Kalim has the SSR card in the tsum is because he is a housewarden. Once you learn that all the SSR Tsum cards have one thing common, then you can see why he got the card. Not sure about why Jamil has R but he recently got Sr card and his last SSR card is Apple Pom, must be the reason.

no yeah i definitely noticed that!! it’s pretty cool to think about especially when they seemed to go in order too as the events released

part 1 - riddle, leona

part 2 - azul, kalim

part 3 - vil, idia, malleus

and your reasoning for jamil’s being an r card makes sense. i guess they just wanted to give him a break 😭

ALSO an interesting thought if they do another tsum event i hope it’s the nrc staff + grim this time

i think it makes sense especially since crowley had a tsum in the tsum game???

i think it’ll be neat! especially a little grim tsum ,,,

[sua-alnst-official]

are you really sua? or are you a hologram created by the aliens to automatically respond to questions and act like sua so viewers and the audience can be tricked into believing that the real sua is really alive and didn’t die? you could be a ai robot created to look, act, and be sua in a way that’s so identical to the real sua thats so convincing that everyone would never wonder “are you really sua?” or even question it once/j

I am the real Sua, and I am unfortunately dead. However, the important thing is that I was able to save Mizi from dying. I also doubt that the aliens could be able to replicate human emotions like that because they don’t even seem to understand the meaning of a kiss. You can choose to believe whatever you want, but I’m not a hologram.

If you had both lockwood and george ask you out on a date, which one would you pick👀

WHY WOULD YOU ASK ME SOMETHING SO IMPOSSIBLE TO ANSWER but probably George.

Reasoning as follows:

- it is so attractive (literally platonically or romantically) when people are passionate about something

- don’t we all want someone who sees past appearances? but then now I’m wondering if, since George doesn’t care about appearances, would he sometimes forget to compliment people if they look nice 🤔🤔

- can cook really well?????

- I actually love George to bits, and aside from the iconic things he says and draws, the bit with Lucy and La Belle Dame is probably my favourite bit of George in the whole series

On the other hand I think Lockwood’s sheer amount of charm would almost kind of scare me? It’s like how really pretty guys scare me, I’m just there like “…that can’t be allowed???”

Bobby Vernon, on the other hand, respects George for his researching skills, but definitely thinks Lockwood is THE COOLEST

[galaxirin]

THE BRADOR COMIC...I'm kinda obsessed omgggg

GOOD. EXCELLENT. Brador is one of the most interesting characters I’ve come across so it was an honour to write about him 👀👀 and a way for me to draw my interpretation of Laurence finally dying

Have a doodle too 👀👀

[plantwithoutplot]

for the assumption ask, idk why but you just give me major Warrior Cats kid vibes. Like role playing at recess and whatnot.

I absolutely cannot deny that I was the weird kid at recess and all. Though what I did was trying to roleplay adventures from Pokemon or the Legend of Zelda or Le Secret du Sable Bleu.

But I have to admit that I......i have never.... I have not........... I have never read the Warrior Cat Saga ⚆▽⚆💦

A-anyway, thanks for the ask, Anon!! You were 90% on point!! 🧐🧐
