#also pru fucking HATES that guy

[makwandis]

Prussia and the being who claims to be Teutonic Order, with their true selves shown

[goldammerchen]

still unhappy with this post but i don't want to edit it further. here some barely coherent extra thoughts—note: i'm fucking sick.

(...) but reverted into being a soldier, and they're not supposed to think;

...but they obviously do. is easy for soldiers or anyone following orders to just say "i did what i was told", and social experiments have found out that most people will just do, that, washing their hands out of responsability. after all, we teach kids since the beginning to obey, right? yeah, but this is also bullshit. anyone is capable of evil, soldiers during war or unrest times feel justified (that's why the miIitary shouldn't exist but that's just my opinion) (i know is not that easy)...

why making only one brother the "stick in the mud"? other interpretation would have had both being like that. i guess hima always put emphasis in pru "doing whatever he wanted", by what the bios say. but the blind obedience that followed whoever was in charge, the miIitarism, the hierarchy, was pru.ssian (btw ever read about the Captain of Köpenick?)

i kinda lost my train of thoughts. back to the military, and to the time of those uniforms, while hima started the webcomic with the stories about the itaIian military (he.tare/useless-itaIia-hetaIia), and it started as a comedy with often sexual humor, that didn't limit itself to only ww.ii even back them, well. i think all he.ta people would be heta.re—good-for-nothing, irresponsible, often caring more about saving their own skin, never doing enough at the time—so, the 'uwu poor guys' doesn't completely convince me when is taken more seriously (like yes their position would suck, being always managed, but, hima nearly always made them soldiers; govts special immortal dogs). i think they would a bunch of entitled people, also capable of good (guardians), but terrible, more or less, some more than others, depending of the period/power...

what else? the "poor germ.ans it was all hitIer" drives me insane, same with the "one branch was evil the other was just soldiers"

"Most people dislike wars and feel the world would be a better place without them. Yet contempt for cowardice seems to move them on a far deeper level. After all, desertion (...) is probably the greatest threat to wars of conquest. (...) Yet even those who claim to hate war often feel uncomfortable celebrating desertion."

wowww thank u there's stuff there for r*same i haven't seen i can't believe ppl are still writing 50k plus toxic rus*me in 2023 I AM LIVINGGGG. have u read the chosen end? that shit kills me. personally i love pr*aus but as with all h*talia fic it's difficult to find historical h@talia much less historical h@talia that's actually *good*

Is that on LJ? I’m only finding it on AO3 in Russian and I unfortunately don’t know Russian lol. There’s a lot of good historical Liet//Pol if that’s your jam! Personally I’m not a Pru//Aus fan because I hate Austria but I understand the appeal ESPECIALLY in historical fic. I also really love angsty toxic Cold War era Rus//Ame because goddamn that mutually assured destruction has SO much sexual tension. Like either fuck or fight but pick one before you blow each other up. Aaah my loves. Really I just love Ivan. My big guy :) I do sometimes struggle reading Rus//Ame fic because I roleplayed as Alfred for YEARS and I’m very protective of him, so if someone else’s (completely valid!) interpretation of him conflicts with my own I take it personally.

[mr-nauseam]

Someone said Port on a dragon and that prompted me to search the far corners of my messenger with my bestie to find information about that lost fucking au and we found some stuff.

let's get started *pretends to snap my fingers*.

So:

Rome, is the king of a kingdom -ou yeah-, and he has a son: Spain and a daughter: Nyo Port. And well in his kingdom magic is forbidden more severely than other kingdoms (where it was also illegal).

Arthur was a magician and as I saw he was running away from a big mess he got himself into. Apparently he had a fight with the other great wizard of his community (Scotland!), and they ended up expelling him because they thought he was a risk for everyone because wizards lived in hiding and were persecuted. A wizard capable of hurting his own was unforgivable. No matter that they had taken it to the extreme (although as always it was the fault of both), and decided to go to the kingdom of Rome.

As he knew it was a big risk but he didn't care, the stubborn little guy said "everywhere they will treat me like a pariah if they find me out!", and he had this morbid desire to see if he could outwit the people of the MOST anti-magic kingdom.

Well he comes in and does his tricks to get food. He's watching a market in peace when our favorite trio shows up! You know the one, Fran-Spain-Pru in their knightly armor and Antonio is there smiling at everyone. Iggy hates his face from minute one.

[camtankerous]

hey sorry I'm gonna talk about uprising to you my beloved longterm mutual 💕 newts possession thing could have worked so well if like. it was treated as a possession thing. like "hey here's this genius. he is being slowly brainwashed and possessed over the course of ten years by an alien hivemind from another dimension" like conceptually that rules but in the film it's mostly treated as "yeah its the same guy he's just evil now" like!!!

me if they let me behind the scenes of uprising: let him be clearly Not A Person in the scenes where there's no other people around. weird struggles with being confined to a human body vs having Someting Else in your human body. more shit like the pronoun confusion in that one scene (trans rights) Like just watch the exorcist or something please. please. also mako and jake should copilot and work on their family trauma and be siblings but thats the rest of this bad movie

*shakes u like a glowstick* my beloved mutual thank u so much for coming to me about this i have. So many very strong opinions about pru

Also YES I AGREE. obviously possessed newt would have made for a WAY better movie, but theyre were too concerned with maintaining the plot twist. Once youve watched it once it completely loses its value which is, like, the worst kind of plot twist, because instead of being built up to its just an “aha we tricked you!” moment

Also YES there should have been more about mako and jake being siblings like!!! And also What the fuck was up with his whole character backstory. Hated it. I have so many better ideas bc im not a coward and they should have hired me

[onetuffbunny]

The kids stay over at Bunny’s place most of the time because he doesn’t consistently work outside of the house but R.A. lives close enough nearby that it’s nothing more than a quick hop over to her place in the car (with a stop over at your friendly neighborhood Taco Hell along the way because he can eat the hell out of some chicken soft tacos on his cheat day) when they want to see their mom and vice versa.

They lived together a long time after they split up romantically because they’re still best mates no matter what and it just made sense with a baby and no cash, but Bunny needed privacy to work, R.A. wanted to be closer to the shop and not in the woods because the Internet’s shit, they both wanted some space because what if they wanted to invite someone over, and honestly, as much as they genuinely love each other from a co-parenting and BFF standpoint, living together just wasn’t the ideal situation because Bunny’s clingy as fuck and R.A. could happily retreat from society and never talk to anyone again as long as she had wi-fi and a camping stove to make soup.

Anyway, the point isn’t the soup, though she does make some good soup as long as she’s camping but otherwise no because kitchen witchery’s more his thing. The point is that the kids are staying with her until he sorts himself out because he doesn’t want them to see him like this. They’re not used to staying with just her without seeing him because they’re over at each other’s house all the time. This is out of the norm. It’s hard on everyone. God, he misses them so much.

They did some video calls with his camera turned off (he lied and said he tripped over the webcam and busted it and then he felt bad for lying to his kids) but it’s not the same. What if he never gets to see them again? He doesn’t want to live like that, man. He wants to be there, wants to be present in their lives, wants to roam around the house pretending to be a dinosaur with Avery, wants to wrassle around with Pru, wants to stare over Lucy’s shoulder at her sketchbook even though he knows it’s rude. He’s not used to this. He hates this.

“Hi Dad, are you still sick? You should go to the doctor. That’s fucked up big time,” says Pru. His kid talks on the phone by yelling directly into it.

“Dude, you’re like six,” he says. “Watch your language, bud. Bad rat babies have to go into rat storage if they can’t abide by the rules set forth by the rat kings.”

Pru makes a noise of disgust and he’s got the distinct impression that she’s sticking her tongue out at him because she is, in fact, a rat baby.

“You’re going to rat storage and also I didn’t say nothing wrong, not even the f-word, and also I’m ten,” she replies because he raised a little liar.

“Be a nice rat, okay? Nice rats get nice treats. Bad rats get the pear wiggler,” he says. “You can say whatever words you like to yourself when you’re alone but you can’t say wiggly words to other people until you turn 18 because it’s illegal in this state and you’ll get banned from Roblox.”

Pru’s definitely sticking her tongue out at him. Putting her in girls soccer’s been a lifesaver because she can work out all her energy and hyper-competitiveness in a constructive way but also hell because all his attempts to censor his naturally foul mouth around her so she didn’t wind up saying fuck every two words like him were for naught because the other players’ rubbed off on her. He could ground her but, like, he's turned into a fuckin’ werewolf, he figures they’ve got waaaay bigger problems right now than a kid trying to sound edgy by saying fuck now and again.

“Okay, I’ll be a nice rat,” she says. “...Are you super sick? Mom says I can’t come over because of the germs. Are you going to die? Because don’t do that.”

“Hey, hey, I’m not gonna die, okay? I just got a case of boneitis but it ain’t no big thing on account of me having an uncommonly strong skeletal structure, which I thank drinking milk every day for. Don’t worry, little buddy. Drink your milk and listen to your mom and you’ll be just fine.”

There’s a pause on the other end of the line.

"I’m not worried and I never been worried about anything in my life. Sorry your bones are bad. Are you getting bad bone germs on my stuff? Because I left my Switch over there and I want it. And also I want you to get better too, Dad.”

Bunny laughs, the first time in awhile.

"But you mostly want to play your games, right? I like the part where Zelda fights the pig guys.”

“No, that’s Link! That’s Link, Dad! Ugh.”

He grins.

“Hey, tell you what? If you promise that you’ll be on your very best behavior and not say any bad words, we can play the, uh, the game that’s just The Thing but for five year olds.”

“It’s not for five year olds.”

He’s absolutely terrible at it because he can barely manipulate his phone with these giant fuckin’ claws in the way but playing with his daughter, he almost feels normal for awhile.

[floralege]

all the ships !

who’s more likely to find who wearing their clothes?: i feel like brigitte has a blast putting pru in designer clothing, considering that’s how they met. bonus is catching bee in pru’s band t-shirts. fern has made a lifestyle of stealing liam’s zeppelin shirts. also just thought of rome in a suit and had a heart palpitation 

who enunciates hand holding?: this is mick and daisy, who are probably met with playful disgust. shut up, we’re gonna hold hands. 

who likes having their hair washed by who?: jules n bella take dramatically long baths together, romy loves washing molly’s hair, fred probably plays with cameron’s hair and it makes her soft inside 

who likes to slow dance?: this screams scully n mulder, and mulder may initiate but scully digs it. catch fourteen year old mick asking brigitte to dance while delphine says that’s never gonna happen. oh ho HO how time flies. we all know gid’s got a romantic hard on for rome, so slow dancing under the full moon is a big must.

muse that’s more likely to fall asleep with their head in the others lap?: liam falls asleep all over fern while she’s on the phone with record execs, jesse literally thinks of jane as his personal pillow, jules and bella take turns sleeping on each other and make a big show of it 

muse that does all the cuddling in a blanket fort?: i could not tell you a single ship that would have a blanket fort??? maybe sadie and jimmy when they’re super drunk??

who hogs most of the covers at night?: your answer was pretty apt so i’m sticking with that 

muse who nuzzles the others shoulder to get them to give them a head rub?: sadie definitely, also jesse. daisy just does it instinctively for dom

how do they share a desert? two forks or one?: cameron and freddie share one fork and stuff each other’s faces, it’s adorable and we hate them. pru and bee start with two forks on opposite sides of the booth, til pru slinks over and they become giggling messes. 

who gets jealous more easily?: gideon was never too jealous before rome had james, and now he’s like, pathetic. also very annoyed that she never displays her jealousy. liam, we know this. mick gets a little :/ but also knows he’s literally not even really dating delphine so he gets over himself pretty quickly. sadie doesn’t get jeaaaalous exactly, but she also likes to pull the ‘he’s already got a friend’ card so 

who gets angered more easily?: gideon, liam, sadie, pru, scully is half mulder’s size and will fight anyone who looks at him wrong.

who gets the most shoulder rubs?: this one is longer than expected and also you got the right answer already so, cecile probably bc she is an angel 

what are there arguments/fights like? how often do they fight?: early liam/fern fights were built on jealousy n drugs and somehow always ended in sex unless liam felt like being withholding. tbh pru and delphine are soulmates but at some point pru will take pity on her brother and need to have a talk with delph like ‘so whats really gonna happen bc i’m starting to feel bad’ somehow! molly and romy are so cute yet somehow always have fights that hurt like hell 

who is more likely to throw things in fights?: bella, fern, gideon is like the 18th century version of that post where the girl framed the guy’s punch in the wall 

how do they make it up to each other/apologize after an argument? probably just sex all around. also expensive jewelry from grady. 

do they have nicknames for each other?: pru, bee, stills, fernie, molls, drunk sadie says ‘jimothy’ a lot, ivor was a big fan of saying ‘miss cece’ no matter what. obvs scully and mulder, but that’s too easy. when they’re sneaking around, dom and daisy probably had code names, and they were probably bad. they’re so anglo. 

caring for each other while ill, how does the other muse go about it?: brigitte probably gives pru the full pamper treatment, so pru pretends to be sick a few days longer than she actually has. munchhausen by caldwell 

who’s more likely to be patching the others wound?: fern has tended to many of liam’s bloodied knuckles over the years, ivor boxes now and then so he probably came into work very sore n bruised up and cecile took care of him. 

muse that says ‘I told you so’, after they come home from the beach and other muse is burnt to a crisp while whining how bad it hurts for not listening and putting on sunblock after the other muse repeatedly told them they’d get burnt?: well i read this in jane’s voice so very clearly jesse/jane content right there! 

your otp has a newborn baby, who gets up in the middle of the night when he/she cries?: freddie and cameron were both so excited when henry was born that they probs both jumped at the chance to do it bc they live in some little rose-colored world. daisy and dom have already Done That Shit and would cringe at the thought… also imagine them having some late in life baby after all that shit went down? camille and moises would truly be tormented. jesse would be the softest dad i’m :’)

what would they be like as parents?: like i said, jesse would be a soft dad ! so soft ! too bad his life is filled with fucking pain at every turn, he’s so good with kids. mick has a complex about his childhood, so he’d be determined to be a v attentive father. daisy and dom are messy as people, but they’re good parents who love their respective kids very much. as we’ve learned, liam and fern luv the kiddos but… can’t hack it for too long. 

what would they have been like as childhood sweethearts? dom and daisy are technically childhood sweethearts and… look how that turned out. jesse and jane would’ve build very intricate sandcastles together, which is very soft. pru/bee/mick/delph are kind of??? childhood sweethearts?? but they’re still figuring it out in their twenties so we’ll see where that goes. in the ethan’s gf au, liam n fern probs known each other as teenagers n she was always at rehearsals. love a throwback. childhood scully n mulder might’ve been way different, she would’ve actually believed back then. 

who initiates taking a bath together?: gonna devote this solely to romy/molly and pru/bee bc my gay ass wants f/f bath time together. for pru and bee, it’s cute but they gotta keep their voices low and it’s like that scene in friends when monica has to hide under the bubbles bc joey walks in, and mimi n moises are probably joey. romy and molly have wine and make a night of it 

who likes who playing with their hair?: DID WE NOT ALREADY DISCUSS THIS ABOVE SMH

18.19 grey’s anatomy *spoilers* reactions/opinions:

Winston, don't you DARE make that comment- spoke too late

why Grey's did you have to make Todd "weird"! he and Jo would've been good together...ugh

OKAY Link bugging Jo is such a FRIENDS thing. THIS IS WHY THEY ARE BETTER AS BEST FRIENDS

I knew that someone was gonna threaten Owen eventually. he's trying to do good but like-

I'm sorry, why can sexually active gay men not donate blood?

Simon! NO!

These patients are breaking my heart yet I'm watching Grey's Anatomy so idk why I expected something different

John is gonna go fuck some shit up y'all (sorry, mind my language)

Meredith and Nick are gonna be murdered by Richard

Link never saw Scout screaming his lungs out for the first time but ok-

Levi, honey, you are amazing

JOHN DO NOT RAT OUT OWEN AND TEDDY

still mad they decided to ruin Todd

"maybe we got married too quickly" DAMN MAGGIE WAY TO PUNCH WINSTON IN THE GUT

Teddy has never been a favourite of mine but her words to Owen in the attendings lounge were powerful and istg Owen you better listen

Ellis leave please thank you! you got washed down the OR sink for a reason

NOT THE BLOOD UH OH

JACKSON'S BACK AND APRIL AND HARRIET OMG

Travis yelling about gay men rallying and having dance parties for blood donation was beautiful. HOMOPHOBIA NEEDS TO DIE

IZZY? CRISTINA? WHAT IS THIS EPISODE?

rest under the cut cause it's a 2 hour episode!

I hope April wore comfy shoes lol

I totally understand why Bailey is upset. I get it. But I also understand why Owen (and Teddy) are trying to fight for their cause. So this whole conversation is hurting me

Amelia and April rarely have scenes together so I am so thankful they get a chance to bond in this episode!

Richard stop it right now. Ellis would NOT be proud of you ever so shut the hell up

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE THE DOCTORS CHOOSE BETWEEN SIMON OR KRISTEN I'M GONNA CRY

Nick did you really just undermine Mer and offend her all at once? Go away

Thank you Bailey for doing the right thing from your position. Teddy, Owen, Leo and Allison will be together because of your kindness

Please let the baby make it to Simon before he dies unlike how Sophia was unable to reach Mark before he died...oh thank god. aside, the baby is a little scary (yes I know it's fake)

Amelia just lost Owen again but I hope to god that they will be back, and Teddy too

"I will fight this hateful, stupid rule with you Schmidt" (Bailey) - "yes queen" (Perez)

Link and Amelia got their closure. Even though Link drove me nuts this season, at least he and Amelia can co-parent peacefully and love their child together

Can't believe we're losing Levi, Perez, Helm and the other residents. My heart

Oh god thank goodness Winston and Maggie are making up

LINK DON'T YOU- Jo you saved me from screaming I appreciate it. Encanto and the friendzone, I can deal with!

Okay hold up, Bailey QUITS but now she and Jackson expect Mer to just come back and "save the program"? That's so much pressure on poor Meredith! Pru is so cute though

JAPRIL KISS IN THE ELEVATOR YES YES YES

KAIMELIA KISS IN THE PARKING LOT? OMG BACK TO BACK HAPPY ENDINGS

Nvm, happy endings for everyone except Meredith, who has given up so much. Honestly I feel really bad for her and I hope that s19 brings her a little comfort.

this montage! ALEX! LEXIE! CALLIE AND ARIZONA! CRISTINA! MARK! DEREK! 007...the list goes on. 400 episodes guys, wow.

proud to say i've now see all 400 episodes. some once, some twenty times. no matter how long this damn show goes on for, i will always be grateful for the memories and the laughter and the tears.
