can't believe that skeleman has turned on us, and Halloween Prom is tomorrow.

(what a top-tier UM...we are about to be just totally obliterated in the absolute silliest way. what possible use could this power have outside of bringing us to the brink of utter holiday disaster.)

Fresh new Queen Jane Seymour

- asking if Cromwell would like to kiss her hand...or... something..? Is this what I'm supposed to say as Queen? Is this what you're supposed to do?

- overcome with puzzlement and discomfort about Mary referring to her as her mother because that can't be possible, there's only 7 years between them, darling husband Henry I don't understand let me whisper shyly for your advice.

- waiting for Mary to leave the room first even though she has seniority.

Every time Jane behaved like a scared simpleton who's only just learnt that shoes go on your feet, it's in front of people. Her court. The King and his court. She makes a show of being so much less than what she is. She's spent her life around nobles and royalty and the court. She knows the rules inside out. Pretending that she doesn't is her survival tactic.

returning here for one second to comment on the till/joe/alena/rammstein accusation thing.

you have to be incredibly naive to not believe it. everybody who’s been in the fandom for more than a year knows that there’s a whole system of picking out girls for till (and apparently for richard as well, idk, i was only obsessed with till) and getting them to afterparties. the only thing you need to do is be a hot young (in some cases very fucking young) female. that’s all there is and the talk about how “they sometimes also invite men” is ridiculous because men are never invited to row 0 for one specific purpose, they are there as friends of the band, not as sex objects. the fact that the fandom just accepted that a bunch of (often barely legal) girls are being picked out for every concert just to sexually satisfy their idol which they adore and would do anything for (that’s literally grooming btw, it’s not the case of “oh they wanted it” if they’re literally obsessed with a stranger 40 years older than them) is kind of fucked up if i’m being honest. i was the most hyped about rammstein when i was 17/20 and only now i’m seeing how destructive all of that was. defending someone who absolutely does not deserve it and being affirmed by members of the fandom who are way older that it’s all fine is not normal. i’m only writing this post to try to speak sense into some people here: stop acting like you know them, stop defending them because you’re a fan, stop being delusional and putting impressionable girls in danger because you can’t accept the fact that a 60 year old man in power is a fucking pervert and a sex pest.

It is odd to me how so many people, including some hardcore Peanuts fans, seem to not acknowledge the connection between the depiction of The Great Pumpkin (or at least Linus' dedication to it) and religious faith.

I mean...in general a lot of people kind of ignore or side-step the role that religion plays in Peanuts. The most I see is usually directed at the recitation of the bible passage of Jesus' birth in the Christmas special, but that wasn't an isolated incident. References to the bible, and quotes regarding it and its morals are displayed at various points in the strips.

I don't believe that The Great Pumpkin was intended to be a stand-in for a religious figurehead initially (according to Schultz it was mostly because he thought it would be funny if Linus confused Halloween and Christmas with each other), but considering that Schultz has a very detailed (as well as somewhat complicated) relationship with Christianity, I think the similarities between the two are more than coincidental.

I will emphasize, I don't mean this in a way that "Linus follows the religion of some demon figure" (if you want to interpret it that way, go ahead, but I personally find that concept way too simplified as well as uncharacteristic as to what I think Schultz is doing here). I see it more as a conversational question about what our relationship with religion and faith is. Is it possible to believe in the existence of something without never actually beholding it? How far will we go in our belief, and is it ultimately worth it in the end?

SCREAMS LOUDLY. IT IS DONE. ALL TEN TABLETS OF THE GREAT FANATIC.

The text on the last picture is unused but I simply had to include it. This snake was so intensely devoted to Chemach, it's tragic what happened to the two.

Lots of scene redraw sketches 👀

I think part of the reason that the whump community is so appealing to me as an aromantic person is that by having the conflict pretty much always be violence or an imbalance of power, it almost guarantees that romance is NOT going to jumpscare me and suddenly take over the entire plot three-quarters of the way through a prompt or anything

[distraughtlesbian]

newly crowned zelly (great fanatic) meeting a certain someone for the first time :>

So I think that what we're told of Mrs Curufin implies that she's the opposite of meek and yielding and certainly isn't someone who Curufin barrels over.

Per footnote 7 in Of Dwarves and Men (PoME), Celebrimbor is a man "of wholly different temper" than Curufin, because "his mother had refused to take part in the rebellion of Feanor". (Aka, he inherited her temperament.)

First of all, refusing to go along with what 90% of the people around you are doing isn't something that's easy to do and if anything it implies strength of character. But more importantly, Celebrimbor shares his mother's temperament; she shares his. And Celebrimbor isn't meek or yielding or easily barrelled over. He's a character who is proud and ambitious and is willing to tell people no, including under tremendous duress, a character with more strength of will than Curufin. A character who desires to surpass Feanor himself in skill and fame. A character who welcomed Satan Jr, taught and learned from him, and at the end defied him unto death - Celebrimbor had his own rebellion against the Valar. A character whose ambition wasn't the piddly one of engineering a coup d'etat in a single city but to make the entire world a paradise equal to heaven.

If Celebrimbor's mother is anything like her son, and Jirt says her son is like her, she's one impressive woman.

She married down.
