Valentine's Day - February 14th, 2024 'Somebody To Love - Remastered 2011' - Queen Spotify / YouTube
Yep, I am giving him a flower crown. A burden made of nature, light of life and Force, for a man alone and learning to live again.
Baby’s breath - everlasting love Clover, white - think of me Iris - Faith, trust, Wisdom, Hope, Valor Lotus Flower - Purity, Enlightenment, Self-regeneration, and Rebirth (Only open in the light, with the sunrise) Rosemary - Remembrance
And finally, surrounded by Zinnia, which is “thoughts of absent friends, Lasting affection”. Because his heart has never wavered from that love he had for everyone, that burned him alive, bright and full.
Enjoy!
#he deserves some flowers#this one was fun to make and research#and there are a few meanings probably here#but from what I found this seems right#and again I love this shirt on him#obi wan kenobi#kenobi series#fanart#star wars#my art#valentines day

I do find the uptick in folks who got upset that some of us felt like there wasn't enough follow-through on narrative consequences suddenly turning around wanting the Hells to be hunted by Vasselheim very funny, because I'm just like... so what I'm hearing is that you want your faves to be on the run from religious leaders because the choices they made had such massive ramifications and so aggressively spurned that religion it demanded exile if not outright execution, because it makes for a more interesting story with more interesting characters.
I understand the canary in the role mine now: you're jealous of me. You want what the Essek stans have.
#this is largely a joke to be clear but I do find it funny#and fundamentally the issue is that like. essek is not on the run for heresy he's on the run for treason lmao#like I know we continue to say it but overall heresy is not an execution-level crime on an institutional level in Exandria#like in small cults yeah but like. not on the level of large scale political power#exile is one thing but they're not FROM vasselheim so that's really just 'and fucking stay out' but it's not... really exile#it's just like. well you kind of suck and we don't want you here which like. coffee shops do and are within their rights to do#but then the concept of boundaries seems to be a problem in such circles anyway so yanno#anyway lol#essek stans truly never lose so 😌#he's done terrible things he was justified he can never go home he found a new home that spans the world over#he regrets everything he's done he wouldn't change a thing about what has gotten him to where he is now#absolutely insane level of clarity and conviction even amidst the doubt#cr discourse#canary in the role mine

i think adrien's passion would be history and a ton of fun facts, if anyone even cares
#human history and past civilizations (the outside world what who said that)#i was so content with the ambiguous ending like “yeah it does!! take time and you should not!! be hard on yourself about it!!” and#then POST CREDITS SCENE WOW actually do you wanna know adrien's passion? running yaayyy so happy that we found ir#although considering his life right now - wanting to run from everything and simply not think about anything but the way your body feels -#it seems fitting to me#ml#adrien agreste#ml spoilers#ml s6 spoilers#ml s6#miraculous season 6 spoilers#miraculous s6#ml season 6 spoilers

every time i read a fic where lily evans is upheld as a paragon of justice and the underdogs and the vulnerable, i die a little inside
bc,,,,are we talking ab the same gal who kept defending snape for atleast five years of hogwarts and however many before that? who overlooked his bigoted actions, even when others called it/her out on it?
ugh
(now james, on the other hand? we have such clear evidence that he fits this archetype but ofc that’s overlooked isn’t it. gonna shut up here but will take the rant into the tags)
#james potter#reading another fic#where it goes#‘ur sense of justice is all lily harry she cared so much’#uhhhhh no?#she only cared about snape?#her entire problem w the marauders was that they picked on *snape*#one throwaway comment sn j hexing people does not a champion make#in fact my reading of lily actually puts her as extremely not empathetic actually#the way she behaved towards young petunia was also. hm.#she always seemed stuck up and righteous#idk where we got this impression of her from#but!!!!!! u know what we do have!!!!!#JAMES as the paragon of VIRTUE and JUSTICE#it is so obvious it’s almost too much#this dude was friends w a werewolf and a disgraced pureblood scion and a loser#he was so against blood purity politics he couldn’t even repeat the word mudblood#he joined a war bc it was the right thing to do n not bc he’s personally affected#his spirit animal is a STAG#a noble honourable protector like cmon how much more obvious can it get???#but ofc we have to Gender our headcanons in all instances w/o even realising it#so we end up w this clusterfuck of a characterisation#ugh#can u tell it annoys me a lot lmaoo#pen’s yapping#oh also i found my previous tag lol#pen’s whining#what do i do now

Hellsing 2002 calendar illustration.
Ein wunderliche und erschröckliche Hystori von einem großen Wüttrich genant Dracole wayda Der do so ganz unkristenliche marrter hat angelegt die mensche, als mit spissen als auch die leut zu Tod geslyffen
A wondrous and frightening story about a great berserk called Dracula the voivode who inflicted such unchristian tortures such as with stakes and also dragged people to death
#hellsing#alucard#kouta hirano#translation was found in a comment by u/lazyfoxheart on r/Kurrent#fun fact this is the highest quality version of this image that exists online#i know because i've been looking forever for a version that's clear enough to actually read what hirano wrote under '1443'#but there weren't any so i had to take matters into my own hands#the real image on the back of the guidebook is only 2 inches tall so i had to take this with my smartphone and will my hands not to shake#anyway i'm pretty sure it's supposed to say Eğrigöz (the location vlad was imprisoned) so yeah. thank you hirano very cool#if i might rant for a sec it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out because i didn't have the guidebook at first#and in the images i could find online that part was just a blur that looked suspiciously like a person's signature and i was like. who tf#i was thinking matthias corvinus since he issued some political propaganda against vlad iirc but it didn't match his signature on wikipedia#then i thought it might be vlad II dracul's since he probably had to sign an agreement to send his sons over as hostages at some point#but that didnt seem right either so i kept skimming vlad's wiki page#and then i was like goddammit...hirano.....you just misspelled Eğrigöz didn't you.. ....#i maybe should've made a separate post dedicated to this instead of writing a novel in the tags but eh#the hellsing brainrot runs deep#also- i put it in the source link at the bottom of the post but the german inscription is copied off a real woodcut of vlad from 1491#except instead of depicting him as an adult hirano drew him as a child which gives the inscription a very different feel imo#the one final thing that interests me about this is the fact that hirano published this calendar in 2002#which is REALLY early in the series. like this was before volume 5 came out??#i have no idea why he decided to do a massive spoiler drop in a random piece of japan-only merch#sandwiched between a drawing of alucard as john travolta from saturday night fever and integra as a fish no less#it makes me really curious to know what the fan response to this was back then. like did people even know who this was#maybe im just an idiot and everyone back then was like 'ah yes its alucard as a 12 year old. how very informative'

Imagine you're Mr. Wu and your weird gay daughter runs away in tears after destroying some unespecified object while yelling about you ruining her life. Because you told her you'd be moving to another state. This is the last time you see your daughter in half a year, and when she comes back, she comes back... wrong. She's wearing a light leather armor, a fur-lined cape, and a green flower crown. She has two long scars, one alongside her spine and the other along her chest, the tissue around them covered in burn scars. Doctors say she shouldn't have survived. Doctors say she didn't. Yet she's right here, in front of you, hospital gown clinging to her small, fragile, trembling frame. She fidgets with her hands. Getting her to stay still has always been difficult, but now it seems impossible. She won't let go of her phone. She's always texting her two friends. When you take it away, she gets anxious. You always knew those damn phones cause kids to act weird, but your kid having a panic attack seems too extreme, even for her. Then again, she's always been odd. Nowadays, she wakes up crying and screaming almost every night, and you realize she's been stealing her phone from your bedside drawer every night to text her friends, returning it before you wake up. You catch her once and decide to give her that damn phone back. It's the only thing that calms her down, as if she were a baby with a pacifier. She spends her last weeks in LA clinging to her friends, having sleepovers and playing her weird board games with them. Everytime they drop her back at her house, there's an excessive amount of hugs and tears. But the moments when they call her, or when she leaves to meet with them, or when they show up at their door to pick her up... those are the only moments in which you see her happy. One of her friends, the rude and disobedient one, came back with a big scar on her face. She's been acting a lot nicer, though. The other one too. She acts a great deal more adult now. You doesn't know what happened or where your daughter went. She won't tell you. But you can tell this friendship is the only thing keeping her afloat right now. Maybe you know, deep down, that no one else would understand.
And then you decide to move anyway because fuck her amirite
#amphibia#marcy wu#my posts#so like what if marcy moving away was a proper tragedy#what if things were WORSE for her#what if *smashes marcy with a ROCK*#i realized that.#despite my parents being shitty (just found out literaly today my mom had doctors give me the wrong treatment because she assumed my body#would react the same way as hers. instead of doing what literally every doctor told her to do. now i need to get it fixed)#they still asked me how I felt about moving away to a different province when in like. 8.#like. oh right. this is something parents generally ask their kids about. instead of uprooting their entire lives out of nowhere.#marcy's situation is complicated in a narrative sense because#in order for her arc to work her departure must be dictated by morally neutral forces outside of her control#but her parents' decision seems very shitty with the context we're given. you COULD give context that justified their actions#i.e have them explain that they really do need this if they want marcy to go to college or some shit like that#but then it stops being Marcy vs. Forces of Nature#and it becomes Marcy vs. Her Dad (and she has to accept he's right in this one)#the show is clearly for a Marcy vs. Forces of Nature conflict (in this case it's the inevitability of change)#and in order to keep the antagonistic force abstract you CAN'T have her dad be a proper character#BUT. as a consequence -> Marcy has to give into the ''#the ''natural order'' which would be accepting her parents' power over her as natural and inevitable#it's not even like... accepting her parents are right or anything. just that their o#that their complete control of the situation and marcy's total powerlessness is natural and inevitable#and that's tragic! from a more watsonian ñerspective#perspective* : Marcy is sent back to her shitty parents and she just needs to learn how to deal with it away from her support system#the solution imo would have been to change the motivation behind her family moving away so that it's outside her parents' control too#it really has to be completely inevitable. i can't think of an alternative reason but it's just what it#it's what would fix this problem imo#it's a simple fix really

screaming crying throwing up because both buck and eddie were raised to view love as conditional then grew up to find unconditional love with each other and the family that they chose
#911 abc#buddie#found family#eddie diaz#evan buckley#i love their little family unit#and i love the greater 118 family#i have my issues with s7#but at least it seemed to pulled back from the traditional family values that kr added in s5 and s6#well…#until they let her write the s7 finale anyway#at least we’re trending in the right direction even if we’re not all the way back to pre kr showrunning days#why they let her be involved when she doesn’t even like what the show’s about is beyond me#you fools#i’ve lured you in with a cute buddie post#but actually this is a rant about kristen reidel#thank you for coming to my ted talk

ok soooo im like 5 episodes into dear brother and i need you guys to know how much i love rei so far if only for her staggering around like a rain-soaked stray dog just haggard and unseeing all the time. like we know very little about her thus far except that every scene she's in she steals the show by flopping and wilting all over the frame
#just like me fr perhaps#dear brother#oniisama e#idk what it is but shes so intriguing. mysterious shit-untogether lady#also i love everyone's beef so far like im completely hooked on the drama as camp as it usually is#like went OHH SHIT the second i found out the big three were on bad terms like ouhhh theyre fightinggg#and minako is profoundly real. the video essay that convinced me to watch this mentioned her encapsulation of quote#'every bpd feeling ive ever had' and as an outsider that seems right#school full of girls to study under a magnifying glass like bugs. girlbugs#this is an era of shojo im not very familiar with (ok ig all eras are like that but my knowledge of 70s shojo is like.#ok rose of vsailles over here and that tennis thing's over there and uh. yeah thats it)#and yeah ik the anime's from the 90s but it appears. to me. pretty married to more 70s aesthetics at least#ANYWAY kaoru ily we need a butch failgirl to shout these girls into line and shes balling too btw no way#and minako ily you're extremely real and a scene stealer and i need you to beat more girls up#nanoko im leering over your shoulder like a little shoulder devil bc i want you to be worse and im suspecting you're getting there#oh i forgot to say this part but i keep comparing it to utena#no one ive seen brings up db in their utena analyses as an influence so i have to wonder if 1) this is just more obscure#(if only for the western video essayists im watching) or 2) they share other common ancestry im not familiar with#once again i gotta watch rose of vrsailles for brserk reasons but also now bc of this#she's important she's influential etc etc#anyway yeah excited to get back to the mentally ill girl variety hour ✌️✌️#asuka rei#<- I FORGOT TO TAG IT WITH HER 😫😫😫

"Any assessment of the emotional component of the reconciliation of [Empress Matilda and Geoffrey of Anjou] remains speculation: the chroniclers are silent on the issue of whether [they] grew to love, hate, or like each other. We do know, from their movements and actions, that Matilda and Geoffrey eventually arrived at a businesslike arrangement with a united viewpoint toward the dynastic, geopolitical goals that had dictated their marriage in the first place."
"Matilda and Geoffrey effectively transitioned from a Divide and Rule model to a Collaborative Union from 1144 onwards, in which they worked together throughout their marriage to ensure rulership over their territories and gained their rightful lands, as well as ensuring the inheritance for their children. Matilda and Geoffrey’s political partnership can effectively be argued as the most successful through applying different models of rulership. Ultimately the Plantagenets regained Matilda’s inheritance through Henry, conquered Normandy, and produced several male heirs."
— Charles Beem, The Lioness Roared: The Problems of Female Rule in English History / Gabrielle Storey, Co-Rulership, Co-operation and Competition: Queenship in the Angevin Domains, 1135-1230
#WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING!!! (in my head)#empress matilda#geoffrey of anjou#my post#historicwomendaily#It's very common for historians and historical novelists to overly focus on the emotional component of their marriage#usually by presenting it as wholly negative and dysfunctional#Which is honestly...incredibly counterproductive and misleading when it comes to studying them as historical figures.#We don't know what their marriage was like. We don't know what they felt about each other or if that evolved over time#As Beem says any assessment of their personal dynamic has to necessarily remain speculative.#(and honestly: Matilda offering donations to Godstow abbey for his safety in the 1140s and founding an abbey soon after his death in#honor of him and her parents - without mentioning her first husband - does open the door for potential reassessments of their relationship)#However: what we DO know for sure is that they had an exceptionally successful partnership#demonstrably the most effective from all Angevin rulers of England#And unlike all female rulers & their husbands from 12th century Europe they did not present threats to each other's authority#They also seem to have more or less respected each other's chosen titles (Empress and Duke of Normandy respectively)#And contrary to the popular idea that they fought for control over their sons#they actually seem to have been very cooperative in that regard - especially where Henry was concerned#See: Geoffrey sending Henry to Matilda with Robert of Gloucester#Matilda sending Henry back to him after his conquest of Normandy#Both of them originally fought for their own rights/power but eventually decided to transfer the dynastic succession to Henry#Matilda dropped the title 'domina Anglorum' from 1148 and Geoffrey relinquished his title of Duke to Henry in 1150#in order to promote him as the heir and king-claimant in the war#It was clearly a joint decision and it wouldn't have worked had their views and goals not been united and cooperative#and honestly I find this demonstrably successful partnership SO much more interesting for both of them than needless - and baseless -#speculations on their personal dynamic#that have influenced and warped popular views of them as historical figures

you know im about ready to write an educational post for dragon age fans explaining the difference between keyword search and tagging and also how rude it is to get snotty with strangers who are just idly talking about their own personal opinions bc it is consistently This Fandom where total strangers see posts of mine that are clearly just me talking to myself and decide to get on my case
#i responded politely to the person im complaining about but then i was like yknow what that actually annoyed me.#i think if im liveblogging something and feel mildly irritated about information not getting addressed right then#then essentially telling me 'umm actually it's all RIGHT THERE REALLY EARLY ON youre just STUPID'#A. does not sufficiently make your case#B. is just kind of you being an asshole#the stuff they told me about is like over an hour and a half into this video and i was bitching about something that comes up like#less than an hour in iirc#bc i found the fact that the characters just kind of don't question it much really weird and jarring#at least it was just mild snittiness and not the insane harrassment i got as a teenager for saying i didnt like adoribull#right when they introduced keyword search#my god the hellfire from 30 year old women#anyway protip: if someone has not specifically used a fandom tag on their post and it seems like kind of a throwaway comment#they probably do not want to hear from you#i hate when people use keyword search and then start talking At me about shit like im stupid no matter the topic and it happens too often

roommate is fearmongering again i think
#blogipede#i simply cannot find a credible source for these claims. and that is what you need when talking about laws#especially bc she seems to be allergic to fact checking… had a freakout last friday because she found an article that said some applesauce#was recalled bc there was lead in it. we dont even buy that brand and the info was from 2023. hello? hello. what is going on in there.#please google things. stop getting news from facebook. i am genuinely begging#and she has such a fucking bee in her bonnet about being wrong/right so it's a pain in the ass to disagree with her. because if you argue#she is like 'why am i always wrong huh. i can never be right.'#have you tried telling the truth??? have you tried being actually right instead of telling falsehoods??????????#today's texts: if we travel to canada we will not be allowed back in the US (i have an X marker)(we live 30min from the border)#meanwhile on govt travel website: you can still use passports with X markers until they expire. we are just not issuing any more.#she says: no its a new EO. a new EO is doing this.#EO website: has fucking nothing about this#????? like i accept i could be wrong but like. source please#you cant just. make up EOs to be mad about. come on. this is real life shit.

so… hypothetically… what if I write a fic where tybalt runs away at a party, disguises himself, then accidentally becomes friends with romeo, benvolio, and mercutio while trying to stay hidden from his uncle/family and protect juliet from a distance … ? cause… that may be in the works 🙂↕️
(the rest is in the tags of the reblog trust 😭😭😭)
#guys trust this’ll make more sense in fic form#but pretty much he and juliet have this sibling relationship and they’re so reliant on each other#and they’d always talked about getting out#but now juliet is getting married off and Tybalt’s spiraling towards this path of destruction and violence that he’s expected to continue#so one day he just. up and runs away.#denounces the capulet name and all#but he doesn’t get far before he runs into romeo benvolio and mercutio on the streets#and bros terrified cause his disguise isn’t that good even if he did usually wear a mask in public#but they’re actually. nice. to him#and it feels like a breath of fresh air#blah blah blah smth happens and now they’re friends#as they’re becoming friends the whole romeo/juliet thing is happening except no one knows except for tybalt mercutio and benvolio#and Tybalt holds a grudge against romeo bc being mad is just like#in his nature#but one day romeo confides in him abt how much he loves juliet and tybalt just kinda goes. oh.#and he’s also trying to kinda protect juliet through romeo idk#also around this point mercutio kinda knows abt him being Tybalt cause he recognizes smth in the way he glares at romeo in the beginning an#idk he finds the capulet knife or smth#also mercutios just seen him more often cause he actually goes to parties and stuff#so yeah#at one point Tybalt’s talking to benvolio abt their families and tybalt reveals smth more specific like abt his uncle and has a mini#existential crisis but benvolio just kinda goes ‘yeah i get that im kinda the throwaway one with my uncle too’ and Tybalt’s just like. oh…#also maybe he helps romeo from being attacked by a capulet at some point idk#anyway when he’s eventually found out it’s by his uncle and Juliet’s standing there and he’s kinda teaching her idk and at first she doesnt#seem to have any remorse in her eyes#until Tybalt begs for her help cause he can’t do anything anymore and she looks like she wants to help him so badly but she can’t cause#their uncles right there and who knows what the consequences would be much less what Tybalt’s in for#anyway at some point idk what’ll happen but like his friends will come and rescue him or smth idkkk#and at that point benvolio and romeo have found out but all they’re thinking abt is this is our friend he’s in danger we need to help him#and anyway he’s not like the tybalt he’s not like the one he used to be cause they’ve had real conversations with him that they actually

played DTI with the boss and i]t was really fun
#i feel like im changing for the better#im being more spontaneous#and less worrisome when im interacting with other people#normally i dont think i wouldve wanted to i wouldve needed time to mentally prepare#for helping to facilitate a funny time#but today i just didnt care and acted like myself^_^#and it happened naturslly#i say Boss but we’re really friends#its just that at first they were my boss#boss as much as anyone can be when they[re managing a volunteer project#n they still are but now we are friends#^_^#now that im kind of out own my own And deciding a lot of things for myself. what i do and dont do#where i go and dont go. who i choose to spend time with and who i dont#im growing a spine#and starting to figure out who i am as a person while i have the room to fully be one#my strengths and weaknesses#im still very scared of a lot of things most of the time but it’s getting easier to manage#it helps that i found this old doctor dude on youtube the other daywho i am learning how to be compassionate with myself from#so much of this stuff seems obvious .. i never tried applying it to myself because i thought i was beyond help#but i tried applying it and it’s helping#‘shame comes from the innocent desire to be loved’ perception-altering phrase right there
