2920 vol. I-III reports
-
Vol. I - Morning Star
The first book describes a collection of moments that occurred throughout the month of Morning Star. The majority of these moments depict political plans being made in the ongoing war, with some conversations relating to personal affairs and relations of these political figures. The year begins with Vivec and Almalexia discussing the ongoing war and her prophetic dream of its ending, with the realization that they need Sotha Sil if they are to win the war. In her cell, the Empress Tavia and her bodyguard are also plotting to achieve a similar goal, the death of the imperial emperor.
The emperor himself attends a celebration of South Winds prayer, and while there he discusses tactics with the Akavari Potentate Versidue-Shaie while watching a sporting battle. Finally, the mistress of a duke in Mournhold contemplates how he will receive the news of her pregnancy, revealing a glimpse of the personal lives of some of the political figures involved in the war.
Comments
While I feel like I’m missing a lot of context for these snippets of their lives, I am sort of getting the picture of everyone’s thoughts and plans for the war they are in.
I do appreciate that it’s not like a history book, a lot of it is just conversations between characters, and a few of the ongoing plot lines are interesting to me, like the Duke and Turala, Empresses Tavia and her bodyguard, and the completion of the Akavari and Cyrodill warriors.
Go off Empress Tavia I hope that ends up working
I definitely get the same bad vibes about the akavari guy that the emperor does, the guy literally talks like scar from the lion king.
Something tells me that things are about to go very badly for Turala. Getting more bad vibes.

Vol. II - Sun’s Dawn
Over the course of Sun's Dawn, the summary recounts six distinct events that took place on six different days, each highlighting the perspectives and deeds of various notable figures. These figures include Sotha Sil, the Emperor and his mistress Rijja, the pregnant former mistress of a Duke from the house Indoral, Queen Hasaama and her husband King Dro'Zel. The book concludes with the arrival of Molag Bal, the Daedric Prince of Domination.
Comments
The author is very descriptive, I can clearly picture the serene tree by the bay where Soltha Sil teaches the new initiates, the respect he commands of his students is described just by his mannerisms. And then he told his students it was a ball of vomit. Which is kinda funny. Why are teachers like this, its giving college professor who messes with their students daily.
4 Suns Dawn threw me off bc that is a really long conversation to have mid foreplay like damn. What is going on why are you discussing politics right now?
I feel really sad for Turala, clearly she misjudged the duke and misplaced her trust in him. I'm rooting for her.
King Dro'Zel is relatable i also get mad when sad stories make me feel emotions, tho it seems like he might be taking it a little far.
God dammit. What are u doing here moldy balls.
Welcome back my girl Almalexia

Vol. III - First Seed
During the five documented days of First Seed, a battle was fought between Vivec's forces and the Imperial Legion. Prior to the battle, Vivec's spy within the Legion provided crucial information, allowing Vivec to set a successful trap for the Imperials. Meanwhile, Emperor Reman III and Akavir Potentate Versidue-Shaie planned their strategy, with the Emperor deciding not to lead his men into battle. As a result of Vivec's trap, the Imperials suffered a crushing defeat, with half of their forces trapped and unable to fight, and the other half swept away into a wall of spears. In a letter to her sister, Rijja writes that her lover, the Emperor, is hunting for the spy within the Legion, and is so desperate to find the spy he suspects her.
Comments
We seem not that concerned that the emperor's son got poisoned. Also, what is an emperor without a little racism? Also, I do not trust Versidue Shaie. And I forgot this is technically a history book about the end of an 80-year-long war and I was like damn this is heavy lmao.
Good for Cassyr Whitley
Why is Vivec applying toddler nap logic to his soldiers? Like I get that you didnt want them to party but you could have just told them not to party you are the boss
Holy shit the imperial army just got fuckkkkeddd Vivec was good at this. Like in all seriousness hes clearly a better tactician than Miramor and that of the emperor.
Not Rijja telling her sister her lover thinks she's a Morrowind spy and her life there is miserable at the moment and her sister still being jealous.
Also a big thank you to Liber Somnia for his audiobooks on youtube of this series, total life saver!

Then all those years of building - were they worth anything? Yes - they're just hoping you don't realize it.
Rebecca Sugar going in for the kill with some sketches out of absolutely nowhere. Here's my best attempt at getting an okay-ish image out of a blurry vertical phone recording of a screen. Original video was posted on the official rebeccasugar account on TikTok - a big thank you to @jeejyboard for bringing it to my attention.
#bismuth#rose quartz#bisrose#steven universe#rebecca sugar#crewniverse art#genuinely my instant immediate first thought was 'yes of course everyone should be kissing bismuth'#bis are you feeling alienated from your own labour#so anyway here's some seeds of doubt and nascent ideas of self-worth to help in your radicalisation and also some makeouts#the crystal gems aka a great big polycule#let's get down to bismuth#that little image where she's got a finger to her lips and is just processing and lost in thought............... she is precious i love her#i am emotionally compromised

As hilarious as it is to read about WWX initially being unable to perceive his own attraction to Lwj as anything other than the typical reactions of a woman, I wish more people would realise that it was not due to obliviousness, but rather because of compulsory heterosexuality and him simply not being aware such things existed. The time period he grew up in speaks for itself, as well as his unsafe (because the Jiang household was anything but secure) environment.
It was funny when it was treated as a crack idea, but it's frustrating when it's treated as a canon trait of his, when it's not. This guy is highly intelligent, both emotionally and intellectually, and the conclusions he came to regarding his own feelings as well as Lwj's were based on the information he had at the time. I see people point it out most in that scene at the start of the novel where Lwj gets drunk and points to WWX saying 'Mine."
But I can't believe how obtuse those same people are when they don't realise that while it's obvious to the reader (because duh they're reading a danmei novel about romance between the two main leads, and they let themselves be blinded by their own perceptions) that he's referring to WWX, to him it's not. Because what was he supposed to think? When all Lwj had ever been towards him was tolerant at best, and outright hostile at worst, and with his previous cold behaviour, was WWX really supposed to think, oh he must mean for me to be his! Because that would have made no sense at that part of the story. It was only logical for him to try to find a rational explanation, and the only one WWX could come to was that LWJ was referring to his sword, because obviously WWX wasn't going to take him seriously even if he had confessed, he would have only thought that he was drunk rambling or something. He didn't have any reason to believe him at that point.
It's not until the rest of the events of his second life progress and give WWX many opportunities and chances to reflect on his own feelings and Lwj's (changed and more affectionate) behaviour, does he start to think, could it be that I like him? Because WWX is no idiot; he realises his own feelings for Lwj pretty early on. And he catches onto Lwj's love for him too! Which is what the whole getting drunk at the inn thing before Guanyin Temple was about; he was scared to find out whether or not Lwj's love for him was platonic or not. (Which is a valid thing literally every person who has ever had a crush can relate to; worrying over whether the person of your affections feels the same or not. And it's difficult enough navigating these things in heterosexual relationships, let alone same-sex ones)
I think the way MXTX wrote WWX's journey of discovering his sexuality as well as his budding love for Lwj is beautiful and deserves more praise and recognition, rather than just glossed over as tee hee 'obliviousness'.
#mxtx mdzs#wangxian#wei wuxian#lan wangji#the seeds of their love were planted in WWX's first life but really grow because of well everything that happened#and it's not until his second one that their given space and time to boom and grow beautifully#and I think that's wonderful#mdzs

hot take on billford is that the secret third thing is obsession with being seen by someone for the first time in each of their lives
#like actually seen#its been sitting in me#pondering what the third thing felt like#and its like when you think you love something or someone because it completely takes up the space in your brain#and especially when that person or thing can awknowledge your feelings#and thats what they were for each other#on their first meeting they were already finishing eachothers sentences#and i feel like thats when the codependency sunk the first seed#a lonely man in love with knowledge and a lonely eldrich being that has the access to it all#like why would bill lie about the portal if not scared of losing ford#ford is the only dude to reach out to him#who see him as godsent and not a monster#something bill never knew he needed until it was too late#im ripping things apart with my teeth#take my phone away from me#the book of bill#billford#bill cipher#stanford pines#gravity falls#not platonic not romantic but a secret third thing

Sharing is Caring!
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#jiang cheng#While listening to the Lotus Seed extra I was like 'aw this art is so cute.'#Post The Fanfic Fiasco (re: last comic's tags) I am haunted by the green orbs. WWX has a bag of edible green orbs and I am in hell.#First draft of this comic's script has JC saying 'dude you wouldn't even share with me!' and I love his little sibling indignation.#Middle child power is knowing that you don't have to share with your siblings. The little wet eyes and weak hand slaps do NOTHING.#JC probably already ate all of his lotus seeds. That's on you dude!#Part of me wants to get deeper with the metaphor of the lotus seeds here. It is a gesture of a certain kind of affection.#JYL gives something to WWX she does not quite share with JC. And WWX in turn gives something to LWJ he does not share with JC.#Really puts JC's line 'You're always eating...eating eating' into a very different light.#There are other kinds of starving besides hunger. There are other ways to be a glutton than just food and drink.#WWX's character pre-burial mounds is heavily focused on 'Indulgence'. Be it wine or flirting or hunting or eating-#-or receiving admiration; He is always indulging in ways we never see JC do.#I think the intentional contrast was with the Lan's 'Live simple and without indulgence' lifestyle. LWJ is the abstainer to wwx's gluttony.#But it does expand to JC as well! Both are locked into the role model position to have friction against WWX's apparent freedom.#I think LWJ and JC (at this point) see WWX as something they both want (in different capacities) and someone they want to be.#Yet despite the history between them it is not JC who WWX reaches out to. It's LWJ.#The boy already has an inferiority complex! Stop making it accidently worse!

i would like to inquire about the lore of your death the farmer
I had some backstory in mind while I was staring at the character creation screen but absolutely none that matters because "Death becomes a farmer in a small town" is a concept that can stand on its own, I think.
He's Death. A very stereotypical Grim Reaper. He talks to people and helps them because that's what Death is supposed to do. He likes bone themed items and halloween decor. He's a little too enthusiastic about requests asking him to fish or kill creatures. He put fruit bats in his cave because the concept of mushroom creeps him out.
The farm was Grandpa's. Maybe Death was given it, maybe he just moved in. Not like it matters anymore, and no one can stop him anyways. He's Here and they just gotta Deal With It.
The scale of the story is limited to what's mentioned in-game, though. So don't even worry about the global or cosmic ramifications of Death becoming a farmer. It's not gonna come up C:
#ask bedrock#death the farmer#as for why he looks like that and dresses like that: I was making another OC which is a pink-loving white-haired gayboy#when I slid the accessory slider to a beard and realized I got something More Interesting to play with#also this man has absurd luck#4 ancient seeds + 2 prismatic shards and he's still on his first year#abysmal artifact luck tho

I say this as someone for whom shipping is a natural, enjoyable, beautiful part of fandom: thinking every narrative decision is secretly about your ship isn’t healthy for your enjoyment of the show. It causes you to ignore key character beats and flatten character traits because you refuse to acknowledge characters motivations outside of the ship.
#saw a post that pissed me off#no I don’t think the [redacted] reveal was secretly to parallel [redacted] moving#no I don’t think [redacted]’s breakup was secretly to plant the seeds for [redacted]#or that their first kiss was secretly about [redacted] come on now

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance Commands - Cure ~ Cura ~ Curaga
#kingdom hearts dream drop distance#khddd#riku#commands#my gif#every game has a unique healing animation for these spells#but this is the first time we see the visual effects take on the appearance of various life stages of a plant#the first cure shows a seed germinating while cura creates lush vines that wrap around you#and curaga has vines with a large flower that blossoms over what looks like a small pool of water#i love how it evolves as it gets more advanced#these details are so easy to miss since you're most likely to cast these spells in a rush while in combat
