Would any of the changeling characters be able to do that trick from mythology where fey can cast illusion spells on leaves to make them look like money and then scam random shopkeepers? I can just see a. fey trying that on Marinette when she's working at the bakery, only for her myriad fey admirers to flip out at the fey who pranked her.

they can definitely do that! unfortunately, fae don't usually make it into the bakery.

"If she was trapped in somewhere like this," Valkyrie said, "that'd be it, though, wouldn't it? There'd be no chance of talking to her, of getting her to control herself or anything like that?"

"That would be impossible. The only reason Argeddion hasn't escaped is because he's been kept in an artificially induced coma. We can't allow him to wake up - ever. With Darquesse, it would be even more important to keep her sedated. If you give someone like that a moment of consciousness, she'd kill you and everyone else."

"Well," Valkyrie said, frowning, "that sucks."

Lament looked surprised. "You'd prefer the alternative?"

"No," she said quickly. "No, I was just thinking, from her perspective that sucks, not from our... Never mind. Could we have a copy of the plans?"

"I don't see why not," said Lament. "But do you have enough people to monitor her? Do you have anyone who'd be willing to give up the rest of their life to spend with her?"

"I would," Skulduggery said.

Imagining an instance where they actually brought this plan to life is so depressing, it does amazing things to my brain chemistry.

[spiky-imp-teeth]

yeah so blitzø's silly little murder song made my entire fucking week

[naehilisms]

hear me out: geto suguru was never a naturally good kind person

his outward facing personality was a constructed facade, and he defined his behavior according to strict rules and morals, which is why he was so affected when the logical foundation of his worldview began to show contradiction

[the-labyrinth-of-me]

Wait did both Alice and Zane record Alan when he was at his lowest point? Didn't Alice make her exhibition to show the world what she sees? To show Alan the truth about himself? That it never was Scratch visiting and terrorizing her, but Alan himself? Did she depict his "self" and Zane depicted his "persona"? The two sides of him that he wishes he can eliminate bc they brought him into trouble (Scratch representing anger and the fallouts with paparazzi and stuff, Zane representing his self-destructive behavior with alcohol and drugs and the party nights)? The both sides that caused his marriage to start falling apart? Was that the reason Zane made that video of Alan when they were on that booze and drug-fueled bender while working on the Return manuscript? Is this party video the companion piece?? Alan's downward spiral, same as Alice's photos? Do they fucking work together aasdffjfjfkfk

Valkyrie cain but I’ve drawn her in arcane style (this looks sketchy but it’s really tricky)

If it were ever made into an animated show it would be this style like arcane or spider verse for me. Fight scenes would be AMAZING tho

BBC Interview with Keanu Reeves & China Miéville on 'The Book of Elsewhere'

Interview Excerpt

[Voiceover: In the novel, the main character doesn't want to die, he wants mortality, a crucial distinction.] Katie (Interviewer): "I wonder what you've both learnt about man's mortality--Is it something you think about a lot?" Keanu: "Yeah, I'm 59, so I'm thinking 'bout death all the time." Katie: "Still very young." Keanu: "I'm like, I'm, I'm young-old. I mean, I think thinking 'bout death is good. Hopefully it sensitizes to an appreciation of the breath we have, and the relationships we have the potential to have."

China: "I'm 51 and consider death something to be ruminated on with great respect. I think that one of the things--hopefully you can have it both ways. You can have a book that has these kind of, you know, fun, explosive sequences but you can also quite seriously, sort of, talk about death and what that means to be human."

Article Excerpt

Having created a whole fantasy world, you wonder whether Reeves is trying to escape from reality. "Maybe ultimately the fantasy of building another world brings some kind of comfort in some way," he admits. "There's something ultimately about the creative gesture that comes from pain," he added. "Creating stuff is great. Just creating, sharing, and hopefully people like the stories that we tell." And if they do - if the book is a success - what will Reeves do with the proceeds of the book? The actor is famed for his generosity, and a lot has been written about how he reportedly doesn't like owning things. But this, too, is something Reeves appears to push back on, as our interview comes to a close. "I love owning things, I love having stuff," he said. "I'm certainly not going to present myself as someone who gives everything away." The Book of Elsewhere is published on 23 July by Penguin.

I heard a rumor that there might maybe be a historical doll drop this week. I believe it after my trip to the new AG place LA.

I submit for your consideration:

Not pictured, Molly sweater pattern chair cushions.

It’s all happening!

Borb!!!

[doomspaniels]

Another routine vet visit, another chance to play fetch with my Spaniels in a new place while the eye vets occasionally interrupt (for probably important reasons), Tristan waggily gets cooed over by everyone, and Gwyn gets so much praise for taking treats from strangers in a brand new place. Success! Nice and relaxed, a little exhausted, on the way home!

[avariceaside]

I'm sorry, the what

Okay, I’m gonna go. Catch you later, silly billy. Ugh, love has made me a nerd. Bye.

at the end of the day, rogue is an episode that depicts queer adventure and joy. for some people, it's just a filler episode with yet another random doctor-side character romance (like voyage of the damned or the girl in the fireplace). but as a gay person, i personally appreciate rogue in a way i can't quite put into words. it is so amazing to watch, as a lifetime fan of the series and person invested in queer representation in popular media.

but i also do recognize that if an episode like dot and bubble was written about homophobia, it would make me feel bad. it would be a Good Episode, praised for its realism and clever storytelling, but it wouldn't be fun for me, as a gay person, to watch.

what i would like to see next, in addition to dot and bubble, is a story that depicts adventure and joy specifically with fans of color in mind. yes, dot and bubble did a good job of pointing out racism, and making the audience think harder about what they're watching. but that's almost more for a white audience, than for the people of color who recognize racism because they actually experience it.

i'm crossing my fingers for more stories like rogue, written by and for people of color, in the next season of doctor who :)
