Re: the palisman thing, I can see a world where the average citizenry of the Isles is wary about carving Palisman (especially if Belos ramped up his collection of them in some way to get his snackies) so Dell + Bat Queen/whoever else Luz’s wild witchery allies are on this subject propose that Luz SHOULD actually carve a Palisman for herself to lead by example and show the Isles that the crusade against wild witchery and its practices are Over.

Also imagining Luz carving an egg again and then having to Sit With It while she tries to speed run figuring out/admitting her greatest wish is to be forgiven and how it NOT hatching in the meanwhile makes her feel like it’s some punishment like “Sorry! You haven’t done enough to earn this yet (False)”

luz carving an egg again because she's like "i'm giving my palisman SOME autonomy, so help me".... 🥺🥺🥺

on the subject of waiting for it to hatch, though -- i think her feelings would be a little more complex than pure self-loathing..... i think a huge part of her would Dread the palisman hatching. for reasons she cannot quite quantify.

(i can imagine hunter being like "why are you worried....? by DEFINITION your palisman is gonna love you" and her being like "hahaha! i guess i have internalized wild magic phobia. let's not examine this")

the reason is that she can't bear to accept unconditional love right now. so in some ways, i think luz's palisman would hatch right when she's finally, truly ready for it to hatch -- because it means she's ready to accept that this constant unhappiness & self-punishment is.... Deeply Pointless.

i DO like the idea of her still getting stringbean, though :) her desire may be a little different from her canon self's, but this luz has Plenty in common with a silly shapeshifter that can adapt to suit a bunch of different circumstances!!

Chapter 3 of my acotar gift exchange for @whyisaravenlike-awritingdesk is here!! It’s an epistolary chapter, and I hope you like it!

Read on AO3, but enjoy an excerpt and the historical notes below the cut!

December 1916

Sweetheart,

I know you said not to write, but I’ve only been back at the front for a week and I’ve already forgotten what exercises I’m meant to do for my arm, and none of the nurses here seem to understand quite like you. So you see, Nes—there was nothing I could do but write and beg you for a reminder at your earliest convenience.

Waiting patiently,

Your Favourite Patient

P.S. Happy Christmas, Nes.

Continue reading on AO3!

------------------------------------------------------------------

A few notes on the historical elements of this chapter:

Soldiers during WWI often had very active correspondence, and Nesta and Cassian’s exchange of letters is based on that phenomenon. At some points during the war, up to 12 million letters a week were delivered to soldiers at the front.

The poet Robert Graves (after whom Cassian’s wartime events are slightly modeled) served as part of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, which is why I’ve placed him in that battalion.

Feyre could have potentially joined Queen Mary’s Army Auxiliary Corps, which was founded in 1917 to use women to fill support roles in the war so that more more men could be freed to go to the front, but for the purposes of this story, she does not.

The Battle of Passchendaele (also called the Third Battle of Ypres) lasted from July to November 1917. It was a devastating and controversial battle on both sides, with somewhere between 200,000–400,000 casualties for both the Allied and the German forces.

Soldiers during WWI read and wrote a great deal of poetry, which is why I’ve made Rhys a poetry lover. There was a push in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for the primacy of English literature, and Georgian poetry was hugely influential in this push. Georgian poetry was romantic and sentimental, often glorying in the hedonistic pleasures of English country life, and collections of Georgian poetry were published and widely circulated, even at the front, in 1912, 1915, 1917, 1919, and 1922. Poetry that emerged from the soldier poets (Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon, Isaac Rosenberg, etc.) was quite different and much bleaker.

In July of 1917, Lt. Siegfried Sassoon published “Finished with the War: A Soldier’s Declaration,” in which he protested the war and critiqued the leaders who shifted the war from one of “defence and liberation” to one of “aggression and conquest.” Sassoon was not court-martialed for doing so but was instead characterised as unfit for service and sent to Craiglockhart War Hospital for shell shock.

Ethel M. Dell’s The Hundredth Chance was published in 1917, and the lines Cassian quotes are taken directly from the novel.

Vera Brittain (after whom Nesta’s character is loosely modeled) read English Literature before the war but switched to History when she returned to her studies in 1919.

The Battle of the Lys (also known as the Fourth Battle of Ypres) took place in April of 1918. Each side suffered about 80,000 casualties that month.

Cassain’s declaration in his final letter is a mix of his words to Nesta in ACOWAR and lines from Vera Brittain’s Testament of Youth.

Sorry for the wait on this, I had to rewatch a few times to really drink in everything that was going on. I didn't have the best knee-jerk reaction initially ( I enjoyed it ofc but was a bit ambivalent about some things) and wanted to give it a fair shake.

First up, seeing Suletta zip around like the ace pilot she is was quite rewarding and fun! Now all those auto-pilot rumors can be laid to rest. However, the circumstances weren't the best and it broke my heart she was gasping for air the entire time. I had no doubt she'd live but it's still miserable to witness that

Ah Lauda. Your tomfoolery knows no bounds. We knew this was coming after the last ep, but it's still a bit frustrating. On a technical narrative level, it works since we're seeing two sets of siblings confront their simmering tension with one another. On a personal level, I wasn't very amused. I first saw this at 4 in the morning and had no patience for Lauda lmao. But rewatching it a few times gave me a deeper appreciation for what's going on. He's really intent on scapegoating Mio for everything wrong in his life. Fitting for her role as the Rose Bride and Lauda's demonized witch

This little aside from Chuchu is so suspicious tbh. Considering Mio's failure at piloting, this seems to imply either she does not have a permet implant of any sort or a flat intolerance. I have a sneaking suspicion it'll become a factor in the next episode.

Mio staring wistfully at Cool-san/etc memento of Suletta will always grab me by the throat. Girl wants to wife up Suletta so bad. And really, who could blame her?

Schwarzette is so pretty and cool. Unfairly so. Like, why did you make that thing so unique and cool? For dipstick Lauda?? Who is that pink permet for and why does it look like Utena??? ANSWER ME OKOUCHI

That's nice of Delling to rise from his sickbed to try and negotiate with the SAL. Unfortunately, this would be for naught because they're here to purge and replace. Not make nice. It was the thought that counts, I suppose.

Speaking of, the debut of a solar ray blindsided me. I mean, yeah it's Gundam, but I kinda thought we were skipping the big death ray lmao. After sitting on it, I think I know where it's headed. Totally on brand for SAL too in hindsight. They like to act removed, but they're just as entrenched as Benerit in the skeevy corpo politics. Allying with Ochs and now Peil cements it

Check the link above to see my Utena related thoughts on this moment btw. It might be the highlight of the episode beyond the Prospera confrontation. Stunned they finally stopped playing coy and seemingly confirm Notrette is indeed a GUND entity residing in pseudo hell, and likely a GWitch newtype like Eri

This was very sweet and I enjoy it more on a rewatch but I also understand why I and so many people had a gut-deep aversion to this subplot. The issue is entirely investment based imo, and tbh I just don't care that much about the Jeturk family dynamics. At best, I don't mind them. Guel is a bro but Lauda is SO exhausting on multiple levels. His misogyny and gross negligence of Petra in favor of revenge doesn't help.

If something came of this other than Lauda/Guel sibling closure, I'd consider it fulfilling. But if you lack investment in the conflict, it's going to feel limp or frustrating in comparison to the siblings you want to see. So while I appreciate the parallel with Suletta/Eri and the continuing subtext of witch coded Mio, that's it for me. But hey, it serves a purpose. A tragic cycle was broken after all, thanks to love and MVP Felsi!

The one big gripe I have after consideration is this man's continued existence. Kenanji doesn't deserve to play buddy buddy with the cast. He's a dirty space cop who bullies children and murdered Nadim, now he's joking with 5lan? The hell. I get the theme of the show is forgiveness and not perpetuating the cycle of revenge but... really? KENANJI gets to be happy but Norea/Sophie don't? Sigh

It was so dirty of Eri to use Suletta's love for Mio against her. She knows Suletta would panic over their mother possibly 'gaining two'. It's crafty and unrepentant, but Suletta holds fast. Her faith in Mio is greater than her idle fears

Mio scolding Prospera over her favoritism was great. We love a fiancé willing to take a stand against her shit in-laws. Speaking of, looks like Mio has fully embraced becoming a Mercury one day. 'All of us will be family' YEAH YOU WILL so suck it up Prospera. The holidays are gonna be so awkward

Btw love Mio was shouting at her while having an emotional breakthrough deciphering her mother's QZ riddle. This moment was excellent and easily superceded my minor gripes. UGH when will you reveal Notrette's whole deal GWitch? We're waiting

Such a bittersweet moment. We know from the Blessing and Cradle Planet that Eri loves her sister but it may not have been until this moment that Suletta understands her feelings. Now, I don't think she's 'dead' tbh. Or deader anyway. I suspect it's a false flag to hook you until the finale. It would be quite anti-climactic if she passed without a proper goodbye. I'm still holding out on a Tempest end where Prospera voluntarily sets her free.

The next Sunday will be our last. Hard to believe tbh. Feels like just yesterday we set out on this spectacular journey. Que sera sera! I'll see y'all in the finale~

Notes:

The episode timestamps might not be totally accurate since I was watching this on a... ahem... legal website.

The timestamps are from when you could clearly and obviously see the shop signs. Like, Ziga's is visible from like episode one but couldn't be clearly read.

Some of the comics were just in shop windows and not really associated with a character so be careful. That is not a list of every comic the turtles have read. Like the Timely Times has only been in the background, not read by a particular turtle.

There were LOADS of shops where the shop name was in Chinese (or Japanese, I don't know) and so I couldn't list. Most of the shops by the Chinatown arch weren't in english. That's why even Murakami's shop isn't listed here. Because the actual shop name wasn't in english.

Thanks for reading through this. Hopefully this was useful for... anyone out there.

another of Five's cases while working as management for the Commission was the execution of Benito Mussolini and his mistress Claretta Petacci - Mussolini was the dictator of Italy in the 1940s and entered Italy into WWII on the side of the Nazi's. Italy was pretty pissed about this and started a resistance against him.

transcript:

MEMORANDUM ON INTENDED EVENTS RE: THE DEATH OF BENITO MUSSOLINI AND CLARETTA PETACCI April 28, 1945 Event to Occur: On 27 April 1945, Mussolini and his mistress Claretta Petacci, together with other fascist leaders, will be travelling in a German convoy near the village of Dongo on the north westen shore of Lake Como. A group of local communist partisans led by Pier Luigi Bellini delle Stelle and Urbano Lazzaro will the convoy and forced it to halt. The partisans will recognise one Italian fascist leader in the convoy, but not Mussolini at this stage, and make the Germans hand over all the Italians in exchange for allowing the Germands to proceed. Mussolini will later be recognized among the convoy passengers. The partisans will arrest Mussolini and take him to Dongo, where he will spend part of the night in the local barracks. Over fifty fascist leaders and their families will be found in the convoy and arrested by the partisans. Aside from Mussolini and Petacci, sixteen of the most prominent of them will be summarily shot in Dongo the following day and a further ten will be killed over two successive nights. Claretta Petacci, Mussolini's mistress, will be captured and executed with him. Fighting will still be going on in the area around Dongo. Fearing that Mussolini and Petacci might be rescued by fascist supporters, the partisans will drive them, in the middle of the night, to a nearby farm of a peasant family named De Maria; this will be a safe place to hold them. Although several conflicting versions and theories of how Mussolini and Petacci died were put forward after the wat, the account of Walter Audisio, or at least is essential components, remains the most credible and id sometimes referred to in Italy as the "official" version. It was largely confirmed by an account provided by Aldo Lampredi and the "classical" narrative of the story was set out in books written in the 1960s by Bellini delle Stelle and Urbano Lazzaro, and the journalist Franco Bandini. Although each of thses accounts vary in detail, they are consistent on the main facts. Audisio and Lampredi left Milan for Dongo early on the morning of 28 April to carry out the orders Audisio had been given by Longo. On arrival in Dongo, they met Bellini delle Stelle, who was the local partisan commander, to arrange for Mussolini to be handed over to them. Audisio used the nom de guerre of "Colonnello Valerio" during his mission. In the evening of 28 April, the bodies of Mussolini, Petacci, and the other executed fascists were loaded onto a van and trucked south to Milan. On arriving in the city in the early hours of 29 April, they were dumped on the ground in the Piazzale Loreto, a suburban square near the main railway station. The choice of location was deliberate. Fifteen partisans had been shot there in August 1944 in retaliation for partisan attacks and Allied bombing raids, and their bodies had then been left on public display. At the time Mussolini is said to have remarked "for the blood of Piazzale Loreto, we shall pay dearly".

MUSSOLINI AND PETACCI ASSASSINATION INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY Place | Date | Hour | Summary of Events and Information | Remarks MILAN, ITALY April | 20. | Mussolini and Petacci will convene with several dozen Fascist party leaders and a brigade of German Wermacht to travel by convoy north to attempt to reach safety in Germany | EF LAKE COMO REGION ITaly April | 24. | Progress will be hindered by poor roads, as well as continued war-time and partisan civil war fighting in the region | SB 25. | Palmiro Togliatti of The Communist Party of Italy will declare the fascist leaders of Italy as fugitives and sentence them to be executed upon capture. This order will be of conflicted authority. | - 26. | Walter Audisio is to be given the order to execute Mussolini and the other leaders and is sent to Dongo to carry out these orders. Aldo Lampredi is to be sent to assist Audisio in the event that Audisio's temperament becomes a hinderance. | EF 26. | The mission objective will be carried out, after which time the parameters of expected history will be reset to their correct trajectories. The TA agent will ensure success. | TD Instructions regarding Intelligence Summaries are contained in Regula II and the Management Manual. Title pafes will be prepared in manuscript.

To CASE MANAGER 0043 From FIELD AGENT 00293 Subject Mussolini and Petacci Assassination Pneumatic Transit Code [multiple strongs of number as seen in the image above] My recommendation is to reconsider our current outlook concerning the viability of the subject's tool of action, a submachine gun, in light of recent events. The project has stalled at numerous points over the past months and contines to progress at a menial pace. Should the current iteration of the device be completed as is it will fail to provide enough force to puncture the fuel tank given the density of the aluminum alloy used in the manufacturing of the encasement. I expect that the subject will proceed as required.

"Escaping gulag & building cabin in mountains." Mikhail says.

"Being in an abusive arranged marriage." Ludwig hums.

"Doing espionage for the Allies during the war." Jacques adds with a puff on his cigarette.

Dell pulls down his goggles to stare at them all, "I was at university, partying & studying, like a normal young adult. Although I do suppose I did become a widower in my early 20s."

[g-witchsulettaneedsahug]

I'm just saying, but if Suletta had been aware of Prospera and Eri's plans from the beginning she 100% would have supported them. Early Miorine would likely not have cared about Quiet Zero either or her position as potential president of the Benerit Group because all of that was spurred on and encouraged by her affections for Suletta. For sure Suletta would have done in a good word for Earth House and Miorine to Prospera and Eri, who would likely accommodate her request.

Because please remember, Quiet Zero wasn't only Prospera's project, it was Dellings Project too. Not only that, Prospera must have more than a decent amount of support from as of now unknown people who aided her in her plans. If Suletta has been involved, she'd likely have met countless of people who'd back up her mothers actions in her mind, allowing her to justify her actions.

Suletta absolutely loves her mother and sister, and while you all have a bone to pick with Prospera, Suletta simply doesn't. Suletta is a dutiful and loving daughter who, had things gone a little differently, would be right there with her mother and sister aiding the Quiet Zero project. Thats not to say that Suletta is evil, Suletta would simply have no reason to care about the consequences of her mother and her allies actions as, again, they would be justified in her eyes.

Also Suletta wouldn't be evil or brainwashed, she'd simply be slightly different world view. In fact, from her perspective it might even be righteous and justified. With the help of all her mothers allies, the organisation that obviously backed Prospera and even worked together with Delling at one point, and with the help of Eri who is inside of the data storm, Suletta would be helping with potentially bringing in a new era of peace, in which current weapons of destruction and oppression, that brought her mother and her allies such grief and resulted into the deaths of hunderds if not thousands, would be put out of commission and into the control of her beloved sister.

Old post, didn't want to throw it away but still relevant.

Dolmenwood uses a lightly customised version of the acclaimed Old-School Essentials rules system, tailored to Dolmenwood and with some major quality-of-life upgrades. Players of all editions of Dungeons & Dragons will find the Dolmenwood rules very familiar.

Ability Scores: Roll for 6 ability scores: Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, Charisma.

Kindred, Class, and Level: 6 kindreds, 9 classes, levels 1–15.

Hit Points (HP): Roll 1d4, 1d6, or 1d8 (determined by Class) for HP. Re-roll 1s or 2s. 0 HP is dead!

Armour Class (AC): AC 10 = unarmoured, better protection raises AC.

Initiative: Streamlined side-based initiative makes combat fast and exciting: each side (monsters / adventurers) rolls 1d6 each Round—highest roll acts first.

Attacking: Roll 1d20, add Attack bonus and modifiers, try to beat the target’s AC, roll damage.

Saving Throws: Roll 1d20, add modifiers, try to beat a fixed target number on the character sheet.

Ability Checks: Roll 1d6, add ability modifier, 4 or higher succeeds.

Skill Checks: Roll 1d6, add modifiers, try to beat a fixed target number on the character sheet.

As an adventure game in the heritage of the RPGs of the 1970s and 1980s, Dolmenwood espouses the danger and excitement of the old-school play style.

Emergent character creation: Unique and surprising Player Characters emerge from quick random rolls, rather than from detailed character build optimisation.

Exploration, puzzles, and tricks: Players’ ingenuity and creativity are challenged by devious puzzles, traps, and tricks. Simply rolling dice to succeed is often not an option!

Creative thinking encouraged: Easy-to-learn rules for exploration, encounters, and combat provide referees with a robust framework from which to make impromptu rulings on players’ outside-the-box antics.

Fast, exciting combat: Combat encounters are quick to play out, leaving plenty of time in game sessions for exploration and role-playing. As in real life, combat is not fair or balanced—players whose clever tactics tip the balance in their favour will prevail!

Zeroes to heroes: Characters advance from humble beginnings to heights of great power.

Open-ended sandbox play: Campaigns focus on freeform stories evolved over the course of play, with players driving the action.

One of the things Pk never gave us was a team-up between the heavy-weights and fan-favourites Raider and Xadhoom (and maybe it was good, never bow down to fan requests if you don't feel like it). Well, years later we had Universo Pk (even drawn by the legend of classy ducks Mangiatordi) but it was an alternate universe and the story wasn't a banger.

But there was a fanfiction that has shaped my youth, a massive (or percievable as massive by a kid) work that features both of them (and a few other characters who have become guests in my fanfictions years later).

Have you heard about "Al di là delle stelle"?

(Translated from the ancient Pk websites)

To save the Earth and the entire universe from annihilation, a handful of heroes (or almost…) will have to travel the cosmos through time and space and recover the legendary daggers of Godrôhs, the only weapon capable of defeating Evil. Pk and his friends will have to fight against terrible enemies, find new and old allies and overcome themselves, in an all-out fight that will shake the entire multiverse from top to bottom against the terrible Maarvok, the incarnation of evil.

Criticism: Our opinion: A true milestone among pkstories. A grandiose and complex trilogy, which marks a cornerstone in the continuity of the parallel universe of stories written by fans. Pure, intense adventure in perfect pikappi style. Absolutely worth reading.
