All for the game au where everything is exactly the same but instead of playing exy it's some kind of academic decathlon and they go just as hard. Neil absolutely bodies every math question and Kevin's undefeated in history. Aaron obviously handles everything bio. Andrew is an absolute academic weapon because of his eidetic memory but he doesn't give a single fuck about any of it so he only ever answers questions when no one else knows the answer.

Renee's incredible with religious studies and Allison WRECKS the other teams with anything art/music related. Dan is a chemistry and physics wizard and could probably be building bombs or going to space but instead she's essentially playing team jeopardy. Matt's reign is English because I ran out of subjects and I can imagine him dramatically reading Shakespeare monologues out loud in his free time.

The mafia still exists and so do the Ravens and riko was still trying to build a "perfect court" which I think makes the face tattoo thing funnier because it's just as intense but they're all nerds.

Instead of Neil fangirling over exy racquets he's really impressed by the little buzzer things you push during competitions and the elaborate, color coded flashcard system the Foxes come up with.

my favorite thing about the "stop using your phone at full volume on public transit" posts is all the people who actually do that shit hearing tens of thousands of times how unpleasant everyone else thinks they are being. my least favorite thing is the replies complaining specifically about it "always being Rap Music" yikes

Thinking about Margrace as Joshua's name post-Phoenix Gate.

Mar-grace.

In FFXVI the Undying choose their own names (Cyril explains this in-game), and many of them have names drawn from Final Fantasy XII, including their leader 'Margrace' himself, from Al-Cid Margrace. The page for Al-Cid notes that Margrace is likely an alternate form of the title 'margrave', an old title for military commanders on the border.

That aside. This is the name chosen (by the boy himself?) for the boy who should have rightfully been known henceforth as 'Your Grace', 'His Grace'.

Grace (style of address), from the Oxford English Dictionary:

With a possessive adjective: a title of respect, esp. for a person of royal or noble rank. Frequently (in 'your Grace') as a form of address. Now archaic or historical. Formerly (in England until the reign of Henry VIII and in Scotland until 1707) used for a monarch or prince; now replaced by Majesty or Highness. Even so, "Majesty" for the sovereign of England was not used exclusively; it arbitrarily alternated with both "Highness" and "Grace", even in official documents, until "Majesty" finally became the official style to the exclusion of others (source).

Grace (other meanings):

1. Divine favour, benevolence, or providence bringing about worldly benefit or advantage. 2. A person's lot, destiny, or fate; luck, fortune. 3. The quality of being pleasing; attractiveness, charm; esp. (in later use) refined elegance of manner, expression, form, or movement, esp. regarded as natural or effortless; gracefulness.

Whatever the etymology of margrave, the name Margrace in-game is probably meant to call to mind the meaning of 'mar' as in damaged, spoiled, ruined. All the grace that ever belonged to his family, his home, his birthright—marred, of course.

Mar+Grace, the last heir of the oldest unbroken ruling dynasty in the Twins at the time of the opening events of the game**.

The living ghost, carrying the desecrated corpse of his legacy in his new name. Introducing himself by his humiliation: "Hello, I am Margrace", "Hello, I am the ruined dignity of my house." "Call me Margrace", "Call me the wreckage of one fallen from divine favour." "My name is Margrace", "My name is blemished fortunes and diminished nobility".

It's appropriately brutal and dramatic for such a character, especially since the game is frustratingly silent on how Joshua personally feels about the loss of his duchy which is a rant for next time.

**Footnotes:

In the Year 860 (Prologue year/Phoenix Gate), Rosaria is about 260 years old (est. Y600). Older, if you count from the time of the Rose Alliance (est. Y550). The Rosfields have been on the Rosarian throne since the inception of the duchy in Y600, and prior to that House Rosfield was already known to be the chief of/the preeminent house of the Seven High Houses that united to found the duchy. House Rosfield has held ruling power for 260-310 years at a minimum.

For reference, England's longest-reigning dynasty was the Plantagenets, who held on for 300+ years. Rosfields aren't doing half bad!

Veldemarke would have been older had it not been overthrown by Barnabas; therefore Waloed is the youngest nation state at the time of the prologue (only 17 years old). Also we do not know much about the governance of Veldemarke, although as a 'kingdom' it was likely some type of monarchy.

Sanbreque was formed 100 years after Rosaria, and at any rate is not actually a hereditary monarchy. The Holy Emperor is voted into office by his fellow Cardinals, likely the five who form the Council of Elders. We are also explicitly told that Sylvestre 'won his throne' in 865; there is no indication either way that his predecessor emperor was a Lesage. The wording suggests the throne is not Sylvestre's by lineage or birthright. How this is supposed to relate to the concept of Sanbreque having a 'crown prince' (Dion) is unclear and contradictory, since an emperor by election should probably not have the authority to unilaterally decide on the succession of the throne, and his issue—legitimate or no—should not automatically be in the line of succession.

Dhalmekia is a republic with elected officials.

The Iron Kingdom apparently has a royal family, but nothing else is known apart from it being impotent and sidelined by their state religion.

The Northern Tribes likely do have hereditary rule, and Jill is referred to as a princess, but once again little is known.

Ergo—and I am ceaseless in this propaganda—Clive and Joshua are really, properly posh! Absolutely baffling that Anabella would allow anyone to put down the pedigree of her sons when they are so blue-blooded precisely because she is! For someone with such entrenched ideas of blood purity she should not stand for it, no matter how she feels about her eldest.

Other people: you know, it is a pretty neat open world multiplayer with simple tasks and not really much to think about

The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog has taken over my brain so here’s some redraws of (a few) of my favorite sprites!!! :D :D 

[paperbaldi]

not gonna lie I sometimes feel strange posting baldi art in 2023. Like I know is not my fault that I didn't know about fandoms and stuff but seeing some old posts of fans having fun when baldis basics was so popular and posting arts and stuff and seeing people interacting with each other with their baldi blogs and...i don't know. I feel like I missed so much fun. I feel like a fake fan because I didn't join the fandom sooner and when I see people mention some events that happened in the fandom I just. can't say anything because I wasn't there (or either I don't remember that much?)

hi hii!! can you do jiung from p1harmony ideal type? thank youu sm!

Yes of course and I'm sorry for the long wait! <3

He's attracted to people who have a complex personality - lots of duality and who actually don't open up right away. He kinda likes it to find out more about them throughout multiple times of meeting them. Kinda attracted to someone quite almost mysterious

But even though s/he is rather quite, they also are straightforward - he seems to dislike it if people talk around the bush or avoid directness

Also definitely attracted to smart people - if the looks are there but not the brain.. that's just a no from him especially on the long-term

Since Jiung values honesty a lot, he wouldn't be able to stand someone who lies to him because that would give him trust issues, his ideal type is Definitely a honest person - probably someone who can admit if they made a mistake or of they did something in the past that they aren't proud of

He prefers someone independent, though as mentioned it's just a preference

His ideal type is also someone charismatic who is confident (or at least confident while doing something they like) someone who he feels pulled to no matter how many people he meets. Plus points if they have a skill (for example singing, playing an instrument ect)

Also someone who is thoughtful and not selfish; thinks of others and helps others (doesn't matter if it's strangers, friends or family) someone who can give; not just receive

S/he should also have a warm and bright side to themselves, for him it's okay of s/he doesn't show that side in public or many people in general but it's important that they are someone warm and bright around him in private. Someone who genuinely makes him happy and excited, also with a playful side to themselves

≻───── ⋆✩⋆ ─────≺

Overall this is giving someone who is introverted (or introverted tendencies) yet confident and likes spending time with him, someone who might have been through a personality change or something similar so they are more emotional mature. It's Low-key giving: looking like a demon from outside but being a completely angel on the inside - not literally of course but the person I saw did wear lots of black clothes, dark hair, kinda cold/neutral vibe (kinda emo/goth vibes from the style but they might have more than just one style to themselves) to themselves they don't smile for anyone but smiles and laughs lot around him and likes more colorful stuff like for example blue scrunchies, purple tablecloth ect so like isn't obsessed with the color black
