being in art school and having basically 0 knowledge about christianity whatsoever is so funny at this point i think you could tell me literally anything was an allegory for jesus and i'd just believe you
#my ass has been to church like twice in my entire life so my peers are like 'this is a biblical allegory' and im like yeah ok sure#makes art history class very annoying tho because everyone just assumes you can look at a stained glass window and know who all the guys ar#also sometimes people will be like this image depicts the story of david or peter or some random other biblical name#and then just. not elaborate. because apparently we all know the stories of every biblical guy who ever existed.#who is peter and why is he in the church window. please#and i dont even have an EXCUSE bc like both ethnically and like in basic practice i am christian. i celebrate christmas or whatever#my parents both just fucking hated church so much as children they were like nah were not doing that#and now i have a deficiency in Identifying White Men In Paintings apparently.#sigh. sorry just got a 5 out of 13 on an art history quiz feeling GREAT

“I don’t think that’s what I was asking,” he says. “That isn’t what I meant.”
“You should be very careful,” Annatar says, making his voice serious in a way that he hopes will be at least a little funny, “when you strike bargains with Sauron. The terms may be interpreted more broadly than you expect.”
Finrod leans forward and buries his face in his knees and laughs, helpless and high-pitched, the kind of laugh that sobs in one’s throat.

Grips my shirt and tears it apart so that all the buttons go flying and SCREAMS I love Law and Cora so much what the FUCK!!!!
#Shima speaks#SLAMS MY HEAD INTO THE WALL. BREAKING THE PLASTER. LEAVING A HOLE#AGHHH. AGHHFHF HELP#Cora who saw a kid so angry and bitter at the world decided to throw away everything to save him despite the whole WORLD saying he couldn’t#Law who finally realized there’s still hope left in the world and hope left for him and there’s someone willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING#Just to save him. Just to give him a fighting chance. Just to let him be FREE#Law who came to realize how much Cora meant to him and how much love and care Cora had for him. Then losing all that in an INSTANT#The one person he cared about more than anything sacrificed his LIFE for him#And Law spent the next 13 YEARS working to avenge Cora…naming his pirate crew getting tattoos fashioning his Jolly Roger ALL after Cora#TATTOOS!!! HE GOT PERMANENT MARKINGS ON HIS BODY SYMBOLIZING CORA#I’M. GOING TO FUCKING EXPLODE AND BLOW UP. WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK#Oda writing the most epic revenge quest in history#They mean so much to me I’m GOING to die. Right here and now#Cora giving up everything for Law and Law giving up everything for Cora…THAT’S TRUE LOVE BABEY#No matter what kind of form it comes in that’s TRUE. LOVE. PERIODT#One Piece#Do you think Law still would have gotten tattoos symbolizing Cora if Cora had lived. I wonder about that sometimes.#I feel like he would. I feel like he’d wear them proudly and Cora would be SO embarrassed about it#Law’s not shy about shit like that he’d be super smug about it too#Law: You saved me and gave my life meaning why WOULDN’T I want to permanently mark my body to honor that#Cora: Because it’s embarrassing! Lawwww!!! 😭#Law: Too bad doing it anyway <3#Cora: You know what. Fine. But I’m getting a tattoo that symbolizes YOU#Law: PLEASE???#Cora: WH. WAIT THAT BACKFIRED THAT IS NOT HOW YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO REACT#Cora you NEED to match his freak okay.#I heavily hc Law to be absolutely unhinged over the people he cares about#Like scarily possessive AND obsessive kind of unhinged#He and Cora can have an unhealthy codependent relationship. As a treat <3#Okay shutting up now SORRY I’m just. Unwell. Sighs dramatically

the dancing scene in the most recent chapter of liar, liar, MEGUMI BLUSHING FOR THE SECOND TIME AS HIS HANDS COLLIDE WITH HER WAIST, i’m crying so much rn. i have NO ONE to speak to about this fic, maybe it’s my period but i can’t get enough of them.
i don’t want them to go through angst, i just want it all to be fluff fluff fluff y’alllll. someone needs to make a fanclub or SOMETHING because it’s killing me how i have no one to speak to about this 😭😭😭
‘liar, liar’ masterlist here:
ik this message was sent in as early as yesterday, but i’ve been out all day and i’ve finally got the time to respond to it. apologies if i’ve left you waiting ☹️💓
i wanna start off by saying you’re literally the sweetest person to ever grace this planet. as i write this slice of life rom-com, i was hoping for the rom part of this com would take over in that scene, and if it’s got you squealing and giggling, ik my mission’s been accomplished 😇
“i have NO ONE to speak to about this fic” — YOU HAVE ME!!! 😤
message me, send me your theories, comment, like, reblog your thoughts, SPAM ME IF YOU MUST, i encourage all of it 😩 !!! i want to see long and juicy comments. small ones are amazing too, but ofc, the more, the merrier! it’s the best part about writing — and it helps me piece out what you like and don’t like so i can make this ride as enjoyable as ever 😗
you beautiful anon, this is the fan club. it’s a small little family of liars we have rn, but still a family nonetheless. don’t forget that 🥹 it does seem like a wonderful idea to talk about ur theories with each other so i can just spectate and laugh to myself about it all, but if you’re shy, you always have me, the writer, who will always respond to ur silly comments and goofy thoughts 🩷🩷🩷
#turned out to be longer than i expected but ig this makes up for the time i could’ve responded to this message#i’ve spoken to so many of you (including anons) and i appreciate all of the support!#like you have no idea how giddy the malakai vs megumi debate is for me rn#we have some PASSIONATE malakai haters now (yk who you are and you’re so funny ily)#and some easily-influenced yet confident malakai lovers rn (the anon who started it all)#this will go down in liar liar history as one of the funniest and best debates i’ve ever seen come from my story#and it’s also the FIRST one in history that YOU GUYS started - exactly the outcome i wanted 4 this crack fic#how did this happen? through sm engagement and communication#i could name so many users ik are either on the taglist or have commented at some point in the story#and i love everyoneee PLS don’t be shy when sending an ask or a message#this anon in particular just made me SO unnecessarily happy today so ty for that#even tho i was trying to be mysterious in public and just ruined that by smiling to myself about you but whatever 🙄 we move#love you sm anon <3#megumi x reader#megumi fushiguro x reader#fushiguro megumi x reader#megumi x you#megumi x y/n#liar liar asks!

Kalina is the most interesting character to me because of all she has going on…
she is Cassandra’s familiar, she is simultaneously a pet and a friend and a servant and a family to a goddexx that is simultaneously her owner and friend and creator and parent and her god and reason to be—Kalina’s relationship to Cassandra is hard to put a name or label on (since what does being a familiar even mean?) but the bottomline is that this cat loves her deity enough to put everything and everyone on the line for her…
And adding in that she is a child of divorce. So to speak. I am extremely normal and haven’t been driven mad by the detail that baby itty bitty kitty Kalina was at Cassandra’s wedding to Ankarna and is remembered to have been toddling after her as she walked down the aisle…
Kalina will be the death of me /lh
#fhjy spoilers#fantasy high junior year#kalina#oh my god and the fact Kalina was there at that wedding—there at the period of time where Ankarna was alive and still a known god and not#presumed dead… this makes the Sylvairean Heresy even WORSE of a life event for Kalina and Cassandra…#the existence of baby kalina implies that Cassandra *raised* Kalina… and the fact they were married means that Kalina wouldn’t have been#raised by only Cassandra but *also* Ankarna.#you are Kalina and one of your parents just was killed by your uncle—their domains were too alike—and you can never talk about them again.#you can never speak their name—share in their memory—the only place they exist is quietly in your memories that must go unspoken due to#Oblivata Mori. And there’s nothing you can do about it…#And then the followers and clerics of your remaining parent start trying to kill her—being mislead by the followers of your goddexx’ sister#Cassandra is the only family Kalina has left—and Kalina’s sentience leds me to think she agreed to become a Curse#kalina let herself be unmade and changed to keep Cassandra alive… and even as the shell of herself—a familiar once but now a living plague—#is so deeply loyal and only interested in what is to the benefit of her *everything*… even if they are currently a Walking Corpse.#Kalina dislike Kristen so much because Kristen is just not being a good cleric and is in the precarious spot of being Cassandra’s only#follower… but ultimately won’t harm or attack Kristen—killing herself first—because Kristen is the only one keeping Cassandra uncorrupted.#yeah im crazy about the relationship and history between a cat familiar and her witch goddess and the layers of their relationship

"[Matilda of Boulogne's office as Queen of England], initiated and broadly defined by the coronation ordo, gave her royal power and authority to share in governance. Her obligations and activities were shaped by custom established by previous queens and the ad hoc needs of king and realm. [...] [Matilda's] thorough integration into the governance of the realm was not repeated in [Eleanor of Aquitaine’s] years as queen of England. Eleanor's coronation followed a new model that emphasized the queen as progenitor of royal heirs and subordinate to the king rather than as sharer of royal power. Though Eleanor acted as regent in England between 1156 and 1158 and in Poitou on several occasions from 1165 on, her writs suggest delegated rather than shared royal authority. In England, her power was limited by the lack of lands assigned to her use and by the elaboration of financial and judicial administration. Whereas [Matilda of Boulogne's] inheritance allowed her to play an integral role in politics by securing the Londoners' loyalty and a steady supply of mercenaries, Eleanor's inheritance provided her with more extensive power in Poitou and Aquitaine than in England. Until 1163, Eleanor withdrew funds from the Exchequer by her own writ, but unlike her Anglo-Norman predecessors, she was not a member of its council nor did she issue judgments from the royal court. Eleanor's counsel and diplomatic activities, in contrast to Matilda's, are rarely mentioned. She did, however, encourage the 1159 Toulouse campaign and supported Henry in the Becket affair and the coronation of young Henry. Eleanor was not a prominent curialis; she rarely witnessed Henry's charters or interceded to secure the king's mercy. She did follow in Matilda's footsteps in her promotion of her sons, cultivation of dynastic goals through the Fontevraudian tombs, and patronage that reflected her family's traditions. For Matilda, to be queen encompassed a variety of functions-curialis, diplomat, judge, intercessor, and "regent." Through a combination of factors, Eleanor's role as queen was much more restricted."
-Heather J. Tanner, "Queenship: Office, Custom or Ad Hoc", Eleanor of Aquitaine: Lord and Lady (Edited by Bonnie Wheeler and John Carmi Parsons)
#this is so interesting when it comes to the gradual evolution of queenship over the years (post-Norman to early modern)#eleanor of aquitaine#matilda of boulogne#queenship tag#historicwomendaily#english history#my post#don't reblog these tags but#the irony of the 'Eleanor of Aquitaine Exceptionalism' rhetoric is that not only is it untrue#but you could actually make a much more realistic argument in the opposite direction#We know that it was during Eleanor's time as queen of France that 'the queen's name was disappearing from royal documents' (Ralph Turner)#She did not enjoy an involvement in royal governance that her mother-in-law Adelaide of Maurienne enjoyed during her time as queen#As Facinger points out 'no sources support the historical view of Eleanor as bold precocious and responsible for Louis VII's behavior'#Even as Duchess of Aquitaine she played a secondary role to Louis who appointed his own officials to the Duchy#Only four out of her seventeen ‘Aquitanian’ charters seem to have been initiated by Eleanor herself#And now it seems that even Eleanor's role as queen of England was also more restricted than her predecessors#with new coronation model that was far more gendered and 'domestic' in nature#That's not to argue that it meant a reduction in the queen's importance but it does mean that the 'importance' took on a different form#There's also the fact that Eleanor's imprisonment and forced subjugation to Henry after the rebellion till the end of her life#was probably what set the precedent for her sons' 'Lord Rules All' approach with their own wives (Berengaria and Isabella)#as Gabrielle Storey has suggested#None of this is meant to downplay Eleanor's power or the impact of her actions across Europe - both of which were extensive and spectacular#But it does mean that the myth of her exceptionalism is not just incorrect but flat-out ridiculous

thesis writing playlist but it's only "alle fragen sind gestellt" and "was für ein grausames leben" xD
#[weeping] all the interesting topics are taken and all the trendy theoretical viewpoints are incomprehensible#i know it doesnt have to be good - you just have to graduate - but. sjjsjsjs. my topic is something i've been passionate about for years an#i keep getting depressed thinking about how i might not be able to convince anyone (most importantly the evaluators) that it matters#i'm basically doing [one facet of hugely controversial theme endlessly written about for years] [comparative approach] [unused sources]#but like. so often in history it's like 'well the sources have not been used for a reason and the reason is who gives a shit' sjsjjsjd#i miss when i typed one name in a search engine and based my entire BA thesis on that and it worked somehow KJADJSFKJSJFHSVJ#now i have to go to 5 different archives in 2 different countries and maybe everything was burned/destroyed already lol#also i've been studying for a historiography exam and. so disillusioned with the prospect of a phd. did you know in finland in the 60s one#guy really wanted to work on 17th and 18th century history and because he was the most important professorguy he got like 12 ppl to only#write theses based on that. and cos of his connections those people later filled nearly all history professor positions that existed#like. you CAN go to write a phd on a fun topic but really you should try to be mommy/daddy's special favourite and do everything they ask#and then MAYBE you can get an academic job later jsjsjjd. or you might just waste 6-10 years being their servant and just not get anything#university

Marinler wedding but when the priest says "you may now kiss the bride" Mariner dips him
#he's blushing very hard after btw#marinler#beckett mariner#brad boimler#bradward boimler#i am having Thoughts ok#also apparently this is my first time posting about marinler on this blog?? weird. but yea#also thing about marinler is i do not actually need them to be canon and will not be upset if they aren't. like i'd enjoy if they were but#either way is fine. compare to tendiford which while i do not NEED to be canon in the strictest sense i literally always assumes was 100% g#going to be canon. note that i started with hear all trust nothing (i like quark ok. in case you couldn't tell from the url) and then watch#watched the whole show linerarly after. and i didn't even know their names yet but by the end of the ep i was like 'oh so these two are end#endgame ok cool' and i have only started to ship them more since. but that just as an aside.#i mean this is literally a one sentence marinler post yet here i am telling you my tendiford history but whatever that's who i am now. also#i don't think this has a shot at being canon but i would very much enjoy if all four of them became a polycule. possibly plus t'lyn. yea.#anyway#ld#star trek#lower decks#star trek lower decks#lwd#st lwd#original posts fresh from quark's pussy

I’m am ashamed to admit that I wasn’t sure I was that into Dead Boy Detectives an account of its dog shit name but I find myself relating a bit too much to Edwin’s backstory episode one and then I got to the consensual cat king in episode two and I’m terrified to admit I’m so beyond hooked
#don’t ask about how I relate in less you want to be in my DMs for hours hearing about my childhood trauma#also now I have to see how Edwin’s sexuality plays into this because it’s so rare netflix has a good storyline about a gay character’s#without making them a stereotypical twink yas queen or full of violent homophobic trauma#good things come in threes and looks like we have number three in account towards Netflix only shows that have actual good storylines about#gay characters in accordance to their sexuality with a storyline not about their sexuality#young royals and heartstopper hecking fortunate enough to not have the shittiest name in all of history#looks like we’re doomed to shit gay shows for years after this#no seriously I could write an essay on just Edwin’s character alone and I’m five minutes into episode two#I want to spam about it so bad with gifs on here but I don’t want spoilers#life is so difficult#no seriously if anyone else is watching or watched hmu#rae’s rambles#dead boy detectives

do you guys um. mods asleep anyone on the dash want to read 1.5k of roman history (tatd) fic i would be christening (haha) the tag for. and also help brainstorm with me to make it more than a scene but not an entire Plot 🙏

This'll mostly get hate love from Lottie (please remember that you love me, and you once told me that you'd remember me fondly), I know, but I still want to make note of it. Now, Jing Yuan wouldn't say the following with the same confidence (not that he lacks it, but it's different) as the man in this video, but I have to note... it's just, the energy. It's the warmth with which he speaks, and smiles, the effortless ease of his composure and words. But also the gaiety, the tease. It's that little boyish charm that is still wrapped up in this man that is too old for it, but it fits so incredibly well.
And as a wise person (hi again, Lottie) once said: it's the whole- he must have been a bit of a scoundrel in his youth but this is an older, more mature version that still has that twinkle in the eye.
#[ out of character. ] don't bend or water it down. don't try to make it logical. rather: follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.#[ jing yuan. ] history will make its own judgment. if i succeed; it will state that i am supremely confident in my masterful strategy.#[ jing yuan: meta. ] have you memorized all that? / yes general. / very good. but only when you've forgotten it: will you be ready.#[ and then i think of various lines. stuff like... 'in much wisdom is much grief. and he who increases knowledge... increases sorrow'. ]#[ and... 'no books. no wisdom. only you'. which is the lesson essentially that jing yuan wants to teach to yanqing. ]#[ that yes. you should hold knowledge-- you should hold it close to you. but ultimately the true lesson is yourself. ]#[ /emotional. ]#[ i can't believe ezio in ac: revelations is what clicks in my head in oddly specific ways. ]#[ my favorite game actually. i hate life. i hate it here. ]#[ god. even 'I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH FOR ONE LIFE'-- yeah. /yeah/ you have. ]#[ 'and now it [your name] lingers in my mind like an image from an old dream.' aaaAAAAAAAAAAAA. ]#[ but also the message held at the end of the extended trailer of revelations. how ultimately /he/ doesn't matter in the grand... ]#[ scheme on things. and that hurts me physically. ]#[ but it's a lot about his warmth-- but also the tease. it's the little boyish charm that is still wrapped up in this man too old for it. ]

oh yeah was I the only one to notice that the three videos with the cutscenes for all zero escape games that were up on youtube for forever just vanished?
#idk remember what the name of the channel was to look more into it but you know. a#A#like those were definitely a substitute for the original material and therefore not fair use but still. why now#Damn I was so used to looking those up to factcheck stuff for fics and rambles now I have to look at lets plays 😭#zero escape#'forever' might or might not be hiperbole but like in my eyes they've always been there I wonder if I have it in my history somewhere#to check if it's unlisted or nuked fr
