Listen, you can’t be partners in crime and also be just “Best Friends”cause there is nothing more gay than planning murder

[lueddegen]

Stories that prove repeatedly that the power of friendship and the power of incredible violence don’t have to be mutually exclusive on the way to solving problems are my favourite kind of jam.

Re the previous magicians post about everyone having their own story that the other characters are butting into, in the alternate universe s1 magicians where Alice is the protagonist sneaking into magic school to discover the truth of her brother's mysterious death, Quentin is her drip boyfriend who cheats on her and we are all cheering for Alice/Penny/Kady endgame.

"...Walsingham, the monastic author of the St. Albans Chronicle, was by far [Alice Perrers'] harshest contemporary critic, who in his venom has (somewhat ironically) left us with the longest and most detailed account of her background and personality, her influence as Edward’s mistress, and her subsequent trial. He describes Alice as a shameless lowborn meretrix (a word variously translated as mistress, whore, or harlot), who “brought almost universal dishonour upon the king’s reputation […] and defiled virtually the whole kingdom of England with her disgraceful insolence.” Although Walsingham was not always accurate and, specifically in this case, clearly heavily biased against Alice, he nevertheless provides a truly contemporary account, and his importance as a source should not be underestimated. Likewise, the anonymous monk of St. Mary’s York recorded that in the Good Parliament the Commons (represented by their speaker, Sir Peter de la Mare) stated that it “would be of great gain to the kingdom to remove the said dame [Alice] from the presence of the king both as a matter of conscious and of the ill prosecution of the war.” During the same assembly, the bishop of Rochester, Thomas Brinton, preached from St. Paul’s Cross that “it is not fitting nor safe for all the keys of the kingdom to hang from the belt of one wife.” Although the word wife (uxoris) is used, it is widely accepted that this is a reference to Alice.”

if i did a reread of the walking dead and wrote an essay on how aegon ii and carl are doomed to be the last man standing by their narratives, and what starts out as a sort of cool & nifty super power of always surviving turns into this horrific curse where everyone they know is dying around them & sometimes it’s their fault & sometimes it’s not but either way they can’t ever stop it until they’re sitting at the ending with nothing but their lone daughter to protect but so broken they can no longer connect to her and then their story abruptly ends-

would that be like the Most stupid, nerdy thing i have ever done in my life or

This is my last post in my series of rainbow recs. If you've enjoyed my content and can donate, my ko-fi is linked in my bio and my stories.

Thank you to everyone who has read my posts, saved them, shared them, and commented. It really means a lot that so many people have said they resonate with what I’ve said. It hasn’t been easy sharing some of this stuff as it’s not something I always like talking about. But with the #JesusJune reading challenge that was created by Christian bigots, I felt it was an opportune time to let my fellow religiously traumatized queers know that you’re not alone.

It’s been a hard journey to get to where I am today, and I don’t think I could have done that if it weren’t for my partner and queer representation in books. Before joining booksta back in 2017, I can think of only two queer books I’d really read, M or F? by Lisa Papademetriou and Chris Tebbetts and Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan. I read them both in high school and then fell off the reading wagon because college was a lot and I was too busy surviving to leisurely read. But it was the first time that I had read books with explicitly queer characters.

I am so very thankful that queer books exist at the capacity they do now. Even though scared adults are trying to ban queer content, it’s there for kids that need it and I greatly hope the ones that do need it are able to get it. If I had books like Loveless by Alice Oseman or known of any out and proud asexual authors, I might have discovered my asexuality sooner. That being said, I’m so glad that kids these days have better access to information that I did growing up (despite what some people want) and seem to know who they are at an earlier age. I think they’ll turn out okay, all things considered.

Remember: whether you are out or not, know you are greatly loved and my account is a safe space. 🌈 Bigots can't and won't win.

all of the comments on chapter 15 were making me curious about something. we all hate otto rn, and there's obviously a huge list of characters who have a bone to pick with him for one reason or another. let's say you can choose any character to get like a solid 15-20 minutes alone with him in a room. which character would you most want to see beat him up?

Idk why my brain went Hatiçe is a happily married version of show!Alicent.

Like both women who just wanted to be happy, who lost children and who's husband kinda ruined their lives before and after their death. That angelic motherly perfect princess facade and pretty crying face, the descent into madness from grief, the trauma, the marriages they didn't want, the children who died and at least one who they subconsciously believe/know who's death they caused. The father who used them to secure power, the people around them enabling their bad decisions and friends turning into enemies because of their husband, their sheltered upbringing that made them pawns in a bigger game and also overestimating their own ability which leads to their doom.

I can’t get enough of your writing

Hibari and her aren’t friends but they are friendly. He fights her in the mornings and she feels well enough to do better in the morning. They fight at lunch and she passes her afternoon classes. She sneaks out at night to hunt down gangbangers with him and she can breathe.

But it gets better when she meets a white haired girl who is screaming in her own skin.

In another life when they’re both boys or when she is, Sasagawa Ryouka is a loud and Hercules boxer. Strong and manly.

In a world where she is a woman, Ryouka is bond by her parents nagging. ‘To loud.’ ‘To violent.’ ‘To masculine.’ ‘You’re a woman Ryouka act like it.’

‘Act like your sister.’ ‘Stop.’ ‘Stop.’ ‘Stop-‘

Ryouka did stop. She stopped when a girl with eyes that seemed dead launched herself at Hibari with a laugh, eyes coming alive. She stopped when the girl spotted her and offered to fight her.

She stopped caring about her parents and joined in on the fight. It was thrilling.

Tsuna simply loved to have a partner. A fighter alongside her who thrived in fighting, who felt alive. When her partners little sister scolded her for letting Ryouka fight-

“At least I’m not forcing her to be something she’s not.” Tsuna told Kyōko after the girl had confronted her in class. “You and your parents kept telling her to stop, to pretend she didn’t like to fight, to ignore her wishes. You were terrible people to her, selfish in your own wants and desires for what Ryouka wanted.” Tsuna hated her teeth as Kyōko stepped back at the glare she was being given. “You’re no idol. You’re a self little brat who somehow has everyone fooled.” The door opened and Ryouka stepped in.

“Kyōko.” She gave a nod to her sister before turning to Tsuna. “Imouto! C’mon! Hibari is waiting for our EXTREME spar!” Kyōko flinched.

Tsuna smiled.
