Everytime I listen to "Congratulations" it hits me that Angelica is confessing to Alex just to prove a point. Like 'I've been in love with you since the very beggining, but let go of you for Eliza, and married some guy I don't love, so don't talk about sacrifices. Also, it all doesn't matter 'cause you made an idiot of yourself and I came here just to roast U and support my sister, bye'.

Elisabeth Hendrika Schuyler
I am a bit in love with this gorgeous new top by @trillyke and was inspired to do a quick day look and portrait of another favourite sim of mine. 
So here’s Elisabeth Schuyler (née Wilde) wearing trillyke’s beautiful Remember Forever Blouse along with my favourite @coloresurbanos Ampon Skirt and one of their belts, this gorgeous cameo Antique Brooch by @elfdor and a daycap by @zouyousims (recoloured to match). 
The jade earrings are by #syyf414, but I’m afraid I can’t recall where I downloaded them - sorrrrrrry!

Afterthoughts about 🍌 🐟
So I finished watching banana fish and I will save this spot to write some personal reviews and opinions.
「時の中に閉じたバラは枯れずに咲き続ける 愛のひとひらは 胸の奥にしまっておこう 永遠の時に閉じて」
I first heard about this work on Tumblr when someone was talking about the so-called “holy gay trinity”, which includes YOI, BF and Jeweler Richard, so I kind of like “well it sounds like nothing to do during this summer break on the way to graduate program plus quarantine why not start some new stuff to get into”. Long story short I first know about YOI in 2016 but I stopped watching it in the middle of airing I didn’t know why. I picked it up and finished watching it. It was a great show and it is literally making history throughout the time. Then I started watching Jeweler Richard and that was very good too. Put in one word or icon to summarize those I would use the the art style of female directors at Takarazuka, for YOI I will take it as 小柳奈穂子-ish and for Jeweler Richard I will say it is very 植田景子-ish. I would probably talk about them in the new posts. Those are just very personal view and if you don’t know about Takarazuka and those female theater directors you will have no idea what I am talking about.
And after I finishing these two I started watching BF, which is my favorite among the three and I will give it totally 上田久美子-ish.
There is an important thing I want to say that episode 24 of BF was in air somehow around Dec. 21st and that is also the day of F. Scott Fitzgerald ‘s death. People won’t take this seriously but it really means something for me that 月組 also revived the show The Last Party - S. Fitzgerald's Last Day. It was played by 月城かなと as Fitzgerald, 海乃美月 as Zelda and 暁千星 as Hemingway. They mentioned 楽園のこちら側 (This Side of Paradise), 美しく呪われし者 (The Beautiful and Damned) and 夜はやさし (Tender in the Night) in the play, but regrettably no ワルツは私と (Save Me the Waltz). I will talk more about this work later.
You know there are many literature references regarding the works by Hemingway and Fitzgerald in the plot and the ending cards of each episode, and the day of the double-shoot is just a ... mental suffering.
It also reminds me of Sisi, the Empress of Austria, but I would like to call her エリザベート. This vibe starts with a realization that the way Ash and Sisi died somehow shares something in common as they are both stabbed by someone else (although Lao is intentionally but Lucheni was not). It is sad and very torturing for me think about this because Sisi is my favorite historical figure and a character in Musicals, no exceptions. Thinking about two favorite characters died in same way is a terrible but blessed experience, no matter how you understand it. In Sisi’s “I-want” song Ich Gehör Nur Mir there is line saying she wants to be a bird and fly to the sea, and you know that Eiji jumped over that wall in EP1 like a bird, so...there is nothing left for me to say.
I also want to add that I found 七海ひろき probably is a great fan of BF (and I am not surprised that she is) because in some photos of her 入待ち/出待ち she was taking a Tasche with contents related to BF on it or it is just an official goods but I don’t know. 壮一帆 also mentioned in her radio program when ポーの一族 was on stage performed by 花組 in 2018 that she see this work as her “bible”, and she also agrees that it would be fascinating if River Phoenix would be able to perform Ash in a real person adaptation of BF.
I did start to rewatch ポーの一族 as well as はいからさんが通る to get a little bit more sense of so-called 少女漫���. I found that together with BF these three are all categorized as 少女漫画, the differences between them are too much to list. Like many other people I questioned a lot why BF is also categorized in it because there are many things in it you won’t be able to see in other works in the same genre. But during my second watching of BF I somehow could get a glimpse that it is truly a 少女漫画. And I think the main issue is with the logic in the plot. Sometimes you don’t need a very sophisticated logics in the plot as you need in Desinated Survivor or Into the Night (yes they are my two favorite Netflix shows) . Thinking about はいからさんが通る, do we need so much reasons for 少尉 doing whatever he can to get 紅緒 out of trouble? So the twist is the same at here, although the relationship between Ash and Eiji is not simple as it between 少尉 and 紅緒, but might be as complicated (in a good way and needs effort to interpret) as Edgar and Alan? I put my words here because when Yut-Long wants Ash to give him the research materials about banana fish and go back to Golzine otherwise he will kill Eiji, Ash then go to Max and asked for the files (with his gun aiming at Max). Max almost doesn’t say nothing and gives it to him but he points out that Ash is doing this for Eiji. I think this part is kind of out of the logic because Max would not be so willing to give the files to him, and Ash did all those things only because of the threat that If he doesn’t do this Eiji will be killed by Yut-Long and Blanca. This is a completely 少女漫画 thing I would say, and it is not bad.
My favorite episode is definitely EP9 “Save Me the Waltz”, Save Me The Waltz is a novel written by Zelda, and this is the only literature work that has been mentioned in the ending cards that written by female writer. This is one reason and feminists like me love those small detailes that can inspire a lot of interpretations. Ash’s appearance in this episode is fabulous, and it is a classic actualization of カリスマ, as you might see in the 中詰 of EXICTER!! The moment when Arthur loosing the chain and Ash reaching for gun looks like an angel is forced falling to the ground, it is beautiful.
The discussion in episode 17 when Ash and Eiji heading to Long Island on the Ferry was amazing. I keep thinging of the song 彼女はエメラルド by DaizyStripper. I strongly recommend you to check it out. I would also want you to go over the album Born To Die by Lana Del Rey, especially Dark Paradise and Summertime Sadness. You may also want to try Old Money and Young And Beautiful. It is better for you to do this after finishing the whole season, but it’s completely up to you.
I also love how eng subtitles translate THAT line as “I am going prostituting”, which is much better than the Simplified Chinese version.��
I went to New York first time in my life in 2017, by that time I am not obsessed with anything related to this “greatest city in the world”. I also went to St. Petersburg and Moscow this year and that was my first time to visit Russia. My second visit to NYC was in 2018 when I was there for getting a visa to Germany. I went to Trinity Church for Alexander Hamilton, Elisabeth Schuyler and Angelica Schuyler (okay I know it is not a proper time to reveal this but I think lot about “everything is legal in New Jersey” for the episodes when Ash was in that psychiatric facility in NJ). In 2019 I was obsessed with another fandom which I choose not to tell at here but I want to visit Queens at least once in my life time.  Finally now in 2020 I am recalled back to this great city and observe more -- the lovely the disgusting things, as well as the summertime sadness.
From that Hamilton vibes I also want to say that Garden of Light makes me think of Who lives, Who dies, Who tells your story. It seems that BF brings in more ideas to the discussion about “what is legacy”, the question that never will be out of date. 
And...this is just a meme but how about THE PHANTOM OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY??? 
「私の真の愛を受け止めて いつもあなたが 音楽で私の心 包むように」
The song that immediately came to my mind after the ending of EP24 was the last number of musical Don Juan in Act 2, which is called Don Juan Est Mort. In Japanese version directed by 生田大和 and played by 望海風斗 this number has a lyric like “愛に呪われて愛に散った男 忘れない”, which impacted my heart with the insurmountable sorrow and sadness. I never feel drastically sad when I watch the ending of Don Juan, but this time I feel more than anything I have came up with when I do it. 
Please let me to share something personal at here:
Aslan means “dawn”. Ibe’s niece has 曉 as her name. I also have 晓 in my name. My mother chose this character for me because I was born at 7am in the morning. When I was reading Garden of Light I think there are so much feelings that I couldn’t express perfectly in words. I know I am strongly related to this story and I am so happy I get to know this amazing work. This is a epic I will never forget.

I CANT SLEEP SO HAVE SOME MODERN!HAM HEADCANONS
- Hamilton kind of speaks on a beat, so if you get him going it can sound like he’s rapping even though he’s not trying to.
- the reason he does this is because if he isn’t careful he stutters and slurs words (this is something my own speech therapist taught me - counting out your syllables in your head as you speak so you can speak more clearly)
- the only (living) people who have heard Alexander talk in a more “relaxed” way are the rev squad, the Schuylers, and the washingtons. Burr is too frienemy to have heard it.
- because Alex has to be more mindful of his speech than others it often sounds as if he’s being condescending or pretentious, but he’s just Trying Really Hard
- Alex is partially deaf and knows sign language
- John Laurens and Eliza both picked up sign language just for Alex
- the whole rev squad knows sign language after herc and laf caught on
- Alex has tattoos, a mute sign behind his left ear (the ear he’s deaf in and the st. Kitts and Nevis flag on his right bicep.
- Alexander starts a lot of words with “Ham” at the begging to claim them. For example, he calls the rev squad the Ham Squad, and his car the hammobile. He thinks it’s funny.
- John did not appreciate being called Hamlaurens while they were dating. Especially since the more tasteful Lams was an option.
- Eliza, likewise, did not appreciate being referred to as Hamliza.
- Alexander became treasury of state again. Because he’s too ambitions not to. But this time he doesn’t end his own career. No, this time, Laurens lives and gets him to take a goddamn break.
- Alex really likes stars and dinosaurs. He’s got a large collection of astronomy stuff and also children’s Dino themed stuff.
- Alex is absolutely, 100% a Little.
-Alex is Bisex Demirom
- Alex once tried to fight Thomas Jefferson on the subway when he was still in college. Thomas, being some 14 years older than Ham, was already a politician and one Ham greatly disagreed with. So Ham tried to fight him during a chance encounter on the subway in DC. The video went viral.
- Alex taxes coffee with his sugar.
- Alexander likes Lemons and lemon flavored things. Catch him eating a lemon like it’s an orange. Look him in the eye as he bites down without flinching. I dare you.
- Alex loves fucking with people. No one knows how old he is for real except George Washington himself.
- whenever someone asks how old he is his answers vary between 4 and 262. Sometimes you get a mildly realistic answer like 28, and you compare notes and find out he told someone else he’s 24. At the time he becomes secretary treasury folks have narrowed it down between 28 and 32 years old.
- he got GWash in on it and so if people ask GWash he shakes his head as says “teens these days”.
- Alexander is a hoe. Alexander is a safe hoe. Hoe safely chil’ren, cooperate with your doctors.
- Alex is a bit of an asshole, but he’s still an advocate for human rights. Fucking vote debrah.
- Hamilton really likes both John Laurens and Elisabeth Schuyler so of course he broke up with both of them to preserve their friendship. Little does he know they scheme behind his back and are going to get him back. Together, preferably.
- Ham is rlly bad at emotions. Comes from the childhood trauma.
- John Laurens is a sugar daddy. Eliza is also a sugar mommy. Ham is spoilt.
- it took a long time for Hamilton to let his loves spoil him because he feels bad about using other folks money or relying on them for help.
- John slipped ham’s favorite candies into his pockets from the start though. Ham just thought he kept forgetting about candies he’d put in his pockets. He never found out.
-Ham is a bit of an airhead when it comes to daily things like eating and where the doorway is.
- Ham majored in PoliSci, Economics, and Law. This triple major is the only reason he didn’t graduate in two years like he wanted to. He did it in three and a half. Fucking try hard.
- Hamilton met Laurens in the army, Hamilton signing up to lay off his student debts, and Laurens signed up by his dad.
-Ham also Met Laf and Herc in the army.
-Ham speaks French, Spanish, English, and ASL.
- Alexander never really lost his accent, and it comes out very prominently when he’s relaxed. In contrast, when he’s riled up his speech will get sharper and take on more of a New York accent.
- Alexander spoke with the Nevisian/Kittisian dialect when he first came to America, and had to learn very quickly how to speak American English.
-Alex taught John how to speak nevisian and now they use it to fuck with their friends (example - Alex speaks using Nevisian, and no one can understand him, but the. John replies with a heavy American accent in the dialect. Now everyone is confused because “are those actual words or not???”) you might not get it but it makes sense in my head.
- combine Alex’s habit of speaking on a beat and the very rhythmic sound of his accent, hearing him speak is like listening to music.
- Alex once accidentally rapped throughout an entire cabinet meeting.
- Alex has a YouTube channel where he raps about politics. He mixes his own stuff for the most part (when he has time). He upload about once a month or four.

Medieval Adventures: A Tale of Kingdoms and Knights
Genre: Slice-of-life, Fantasy, Magic, Self-Insert
Trigger Warnings: Thunderstorm mentions, food mentions, cursing, one brief war mention
Word Count: 1672 (keeps on increasing lol)
Chapter 3: A Change of Plans
I gave up on keeping a wet piece of cloth on my head and it lay on the round oak table like some sort of napkin.
My chair was much closer to the knights’ table than it was before as I heard their tales of chivalry. Something I want to mention, chivalry is not keeping a door open for lady. But I already knew that. Chivalry is more of a religious, ethical and moral code.
Ser Sequin seemed to quite enjoy talking about knighthood to a strange peasant girl.
Dame Kyda had a question to ask.
“You’ve been talking with us all this time, yet we haven’t got your name?”
“Oh, how rude of us!” Sir Jakob gasped.
“My apologies, dear lady,” Ser Sequin said, scratching their head. “What is your name?”
My name? I could go by Jo, but I kinda wanna use it as something… else. These guys are really nice. I don’t remember the last time I’ve taken a role in a fantasy world. Or met nice people that aren’t family. Shit, what do I say?
“Brenna,” I end up answering. The old Gaelic word for ‘raven’. Of course.
“My name is Brenna Cadieux. I’m glad I met the four of you.”
“Ah, now we have a name to the face,” Chevalier responded, smiling.
Kyda rolled her eyes. “You sure took your time with that, Brenna.”
The slight smile on her face meant she wasn’t really annoyed anymore so that was a good thing.
—————————————————————————
The storm had been reduced to steady rain pattering down on the roof and the occasional howling of the wind.
Most of the customers had left the tavern by now. How am I still here? This has to be the longest I’ve spoke to people for a while, albeit fictional.
I guess I’ll have to go before a caught a cold from my wet clothes.
I stood up from my seat, picking up my head-rail from the table. The fire was dying out.
Sellanddatter lifted her head.
“Are you going home?”
I sighed, adjusting the cloth on my head.
“Unfortunately. It was a good night with you knights, but it’s getting late.”
“The lady’s right,” Sir William agreed as he checked his pocket watch. “It’s half-past eleven.”
“I forgot to mention how flattering it is of you knights to even consider me a lady,” I admitted, crossing my arms.
A lady does not fall flat on her face the way I did. I touched my cheek which was starting to bruise a bit from that fall on the street.
“Au revoir, and bonne nuit!” I exclaim before walking to the barkeeper and paying for my meal with five jetons and two grains (currency units; jetons – Jeh – tuhons; grains – GRA - ns)
As I turned to leave, Woolf stopped me.
“Oui?” I asked.
He was bent over behind the counter, reaching for something. He got up with a folded piece of slate-grey fabric.
“A cloak for you, Fräulein Brenna. It is still raining outside.”
“But what about you?”
“Nein, I have plenty here. All stocked up for the winters.”
I hesitated for a second. He did say I could have it. Oh well.
“ Uh… Danke.”
“You speak Deutsch, Brenna?”
“Not really,” I reply, pulling the cloak over my shoulders. “I know bits and bobs of a few languages, really. Comes in handy.”
Now warmed both on the outside and the inside, I took leave of the Nimble Hawk’s Tavern. I walk a few steps before realizing what my heart wanted.
I had a change of plans.
—————————————————————————
“All in a day’s work, Em.”
The tired group of college-aged students and one high-schooler finally had a chance to rest after most of their work. The person who spoke was Nancy Molchalskaya, who had bleached hair with baby-pink ends in cornrows. She had just finished pouring everyone some watermelon juice.
“Thank you, Nancy,” smiled the tallest, whose name was Alexis Edler. He was seated on the ground, leaning back on the couch to give room for everyone.
Emerald Ross sipped on some of her iced drink. Her fiery-red hair was tied up in twin braids.
Elisa Leferve-Chang and Avery Reis both had dye their hair as well. Aegean-blue and mauve respectively. They were both sprawled at both ends of the couch.
“Welcome,” Nancy replied, seated between Avery and Elisa.
Emerald sat in thought. “Have any of you seen Jo this week?”
Elisa furrowed her brow. “No, not really.”
“She did say she was busy with something on Tuesday,” added Avery, clinking the ice cubes in his drink.
A sudden rip of a portal takes them by surprise.
“What the-”
Out walks a figure in a worn-out slate-grey cloak, with the hood pulled over their face. Though the cloudy composition of portal blocked any visual of the other World, the sound of heavy rain can be heard, which is further proven by the fact the stranger was dripping wet.
Avery squinted. “Jo? Is that you?”
The portal snaps shut and of course the stranger was Jo.
—————————————————————————
I’m not the only person who can make portals. Sure, it’s rare, like only one in a whole World but hey; Avery’s one. A portal is unique to a person and my signature parakeet-green cloudy portal is bound to be recognized by the rest of the squad.
Avery squinted before realizing it was me.
“Jo? Is that you?”
I pulled back my hood, grinning from ear-to-ear. I just couldn’t help it.
“Of course it is, silly! You guys had a good day?”
“A tiring day,” Lizzy sighed.
“But a good day nonetheless!” Nancy added, crossing her legs.
“Where the hell did you come from?” Avery asked as I took my cloak off, hanging it on the coat rack to let it dry. Compared to Equinox, I think the Australian Outback was warm enough to let it dry.
“Medievalish European kingdom,” I replied.
Alex tilted his head. “That explains the outfit.”
“You seem excited,” Emerald gushed, standing up.
“And cold. Were you walking in the rain?” Lizzy questioned firmly.
“There was a thunderstorm,” I explained, taking off my head-rail. “But there’s more to it, I promise. You won’t believe what happened!”
“You can tell us all about it,” Avery offered. “After you change into something warm. And dry.”
“Fair enough.”
—————————————————————————
“You went to a freaking tavern?!” Nancy exclaimed, unable to hold back her surprise.
“And met an actual group of knights?!” Alex piped up.
“Yes, and yes!” I cried, throwing my arms in the air. I had changed into a T-shirt and shorts long back as I told the tale.
“What surprises me more is how long you’ve been talking to them; didn’t you say you were an introvert?” Avery jested.
“Look, quarantine got to me, ok? I am not a full-blown introvert.”
Lizzy asked, “Do you have plans to visit the place again? With the number of Sub-Heroes around S-UIN, you’re not so busy as Green Raven anymore.”
“Oh,” I replied wryly, raising my brow. “I’m not planning on just visiting as Brenna.”
“Sounds like you have something up your sleeve, Jo,” Avery suggested.
“I’m going to be a knight.”
Silence filled the room.
“Just because you met a good bunch of them?” Lizzy grimaced.
I scoffed, folding my arms. “C’mon guys, have some faith! I’ll do research-“
“Just research won’t help you with this,” Emerald insisted seriously. “You’ll need to do some training.”
“Emerald’s right, Jo,” agreed Nancy.
I sighed. “I know. But first, two things;” I gestured with two fingers.
“One, my green crystal pendant enhances my strength and endurance and heals wounds.” I pull out the shamrock-green pendant from my pocket, where I had earlier kept it.
“And two, as the Green Raven, I’ve got the basics figured out.”
I know they’re worried about me. But I’m not going head-first into this! Really, I’m not!
“There’s more to it than that,” Lizzy countered. “First off, are knights allowed to use magic?”
“I, um…” I trailed off, leaning forward. I looked back at Lizzy. “Most knights don’t have magic.”
“Do you know how to fight with a sword?”
“No.”
“Can you follow a military drill?”
“Maybe?”
“And can you move around in iron mail, padding and armor plates?”
“Oh my g- I don’t know yet!” I snapped, exasperated.
Lizzy went silent, staring at the floor.
I took a deep breath. Gotta be patient about this. Remember their reaction to becoming a full-time Hero?
“No, I don’t.”
Was this really a good idea? I just ruined their good day at this point. But they would’ve been madder if I never told them; if they needed me for an emergency.
“I trust you.”
I glance up at Avery, who had spoken. Avery trusts me? Avery who is more worried about our well-being even though I don’t get hurt in an actual physical sense in S-UIN?
As if he read my thoughts, he nodded and placed his hand on mine.
“As long you’re not a fucking idiot out there; and you know what you’re doing. I can trust you out there.”
Everyone else seems to be just as surprised as I was.
“Alright,” Alex added, looking up at us. “If he trusts you, then so do I.”
Nancy put an arm over my shoulder. “Give it a hurl, Jo!”
Emerald chuckled, “I think you can take care of yourself out there; it’s not like you’ve never done it before!”
Lizzy stood up. She looked down with an unreadable expression.
She stated calmly, “Medieval military isn’t full-time. But there is great demand of soldiers during a war.”
She turned to me with a look of concern.
“If a war starts, you are not fighting it.”
She was thinking that far ahead?
“Please. You have enough problems.”
I stood up and walked toward Elisa. Then, I gave her a hug.
“Don’t worry Li. I’ll try not to get myself hurt.”
I gave her little pat on the back before letting go.
She stared at the ground again.
“Okay. You can go,” she agreed.
“When you’re ready.”

A/N: Alright.
This only took me a day to make which is- WOW HOW THE HELL DID I DO THAT-
You may have recognised the Green Banana Squad here, but if you haven’t these guys are the GBS members. Including moi~
I actually had to do plenty of research for my stories lol. If some things aren’t historically accurate, keep in mind that this is a fantasy World. Some are intentionally kept that way yo. I haven’t worked on anything this hard that I would be sharing online and the fact that only two other people are reading this is humbling.
I’m pretty sure more people will find this eventually tho~
Lil’ spoiler: There are 4 volumes for these ‘chapters’. Volume One is A Tale of Kingdoms and Knights. Volumes Two and Three are all planned out in here (points to head)
Anyway, if you’re reading, I’d love if you’d reblog this so more people can read. And I’m about people other than @transgender-er.
Thank you for reading!
