'Twas the night before Christmas, And Muffin was knitting a sweater. But Vinelle was on Tumblr, Updating the Twilight blog meta.
I know, it’s really the worst.
I’m here actually knitting that sweater for @franzias-cave so they won’t have to freeze, and Twilight posting, researching so Twilight tumblr knows everything necessary about historical shipwrecks, really holding down the fort while @theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin is just lazing about. Letting people freeze and go without Twilight posts.
M—'s Nun/Cristabel Oct (The Locked Tomb) vs Miss Clavel (Madeline)
Art of M—'s Nun by @franzias-cave
Poll Runner's Note: Miss Clavel had to look after 12 little girls but M—'s Nun had to deal with 16 grown adults (and two teen zombies).
M—'s Nun/Cristabel Oct
She was good with little kids and animais, She committed suicide , twice. Both of times out of devotion to the man she thought was God but the second time also perhaps out of lesbian love for her best friend - an atheist bioengineer who experimented on human bodies and had no qualms killing for that same man. She knows the protocol to follow to report miracles direct to the Vatican, she also knows how use a gun and later on learned how to fight with a sword and a chain as off hand like in the coliseum. She was described as lunatic, she helped fund a sect of a new religion, no one could hate her not even the brother of the man she made a suicide pact with.

Cristabel isn't best nun she's worst nun. Nobody is doing it like her. Nobody should do it like her. She sees someone hesitating and goes "is anyone else going to kill themselves to force that guy's hand" and doesn't even wait for an answer. She did this twice.
Miss Clavel
Miss Clavel takes regular care of 12 girls, and the neighboring ambassador's son (who has major issues). She is able to sense trauma in the girls even while asleep and saves one from appendicitis. She goes above and beyond, traveling across the country with her girls to support them when a grandparent dies. She never stops searching if one goes missing. She keeps their emotional well-being at the forefront, even when her school is threatened by snobby donors.
hey gals. i know posting edits is not a thing that’s done here but i have not made a mercymorn post in too long so… this is my contribution for the month!! credits in alt below the cut, the other credits are on ig under arolilith.

first of all I should state the rules of the James Playlist are that every song must be by at least one artist with “james” somewhere in their name OR must have “james” somewhere in the title so I was working within those parameters
Is Twilight the Modern Highschool AU of a much better vampire dystopia fantasy novel? If yes is Edward the antagonist of that novel a la Prince Hans in Frozen? Are Aro and Carlisle our gay dads? Seems likely Bella is still the somewhat problematic protagonist though given YA tropes… really wish I lived in the timeline where that novel was written
(Gif credit to the incredible, talented, and charming @franzias-cave)
You mentioned before that Bella seems to make odd choices. Do you think she’s autistic? The way you wrote her in one of your fics (the paranoid Bella one) makes her seem neurodivergent
I ask because I hc her as autistic, being autistic myself :p
While I am the originator of Paranoid Bella, she's more of a thought exercise that has nothing to do with Bella's character.
The fic I believe you're referencing is Undercover Ops by @franzias-cave (welcome to the clonening, by the way).
@franzias-cave wrote a meta making a very good argument for Bella being neurodivergent, though I can't find the post at the moment.
a haggard, visibly chronically ill dulcinea ft. the nasal cannula she grew herself courtesy of @franzias-cave my absolute hero :') tysm comrade :') i owe you a life debt
Two stories, seven years apart, and the moment that joins them.
When Coronabeth is fourteen years old, her mother kills herself.
Now first in line for the throne, feeling exposed and unmoored, grappling with her grief, her sense of self, and her increasingly unstable sister, Coronabeth convinces Naberius to teach her how to sword fight. This is how the story begins.
When Coronabeth is twenty-one years old, she watches her sister kill their brother.
Coronabeth, abandoned, powerless, and hopeless, must do her best to survive alongside Camilla Hect and Judith Deuteros in the wake of the deaths and betrayals of the people closest to them in an empty, crumbling Canaan House. This is how the story begins again.
