Within this broader condemnation of [Alice Perrers'] behaviour, a number of specific themes can be identified. These include sexual immorality, political influence, and [...] numerous and repeated references to greed and avarice. This is particularly striking in two literary representations which may have been inspired by Alice: Chaucer’s Wife of Bath and, most compelling, William Langland’s Lady Meed in his allegorical poem Piers Plowman, a character whose name has become a byword for venality. Meed, like Alice, established her presence at the royal court and acted as a counsellor to the king, but was eventually banished on accusations of being a whore and undermining the workings of law and justice. In particular, in introducing Meed to his audience, Langland describes her hands as covered with rings of the “purest perreize,” a word meaning precious stones or jewels, which would seem to be a play on Alice’s surname, Perrers, and thus directly identifying her with Meed. Chaucer also notably named the wife in the Wife of Bath Alisoun, raising the possibility that she was in part based on his direct contemporary Alice Perrers. The Wife had a husband named Jankyn, similar to the name of Alice’s first husband, Janyn, and was a businesswoman with a mercantile and urban background, echoing Alice’s own early life in London. The Wife was notoriously prolific in her lustful desires, but invariably they had a financial motivation, fusing, in the words of Paul Strohm, “the categories of economic and sexual assertiveness into a single epitome of contemporary male dread.���

Hamefura plot bunnies I'll probably never get the motivation to write

#1: In which Geoffrey is jealous of sharing the "big brother of Geordo and Alan" status with Nicol, thinking that the guy is going to take his beloved baby brothers away from him. In reality though, the real threat is Sophia, who's plotting to get two more big brothers under everyone's noses.

#2: Alan succumbed to his illness when he was very young, maybe around five or six years old. Geordo often sees the small ghost of the twin he never met wandering the halls, or playing that old piano stored in one of the castle towers.

#3: Several instances in which Alan acts a lot like a classic (Disney) princess, from singing to animals to being rescued by his knight in shining armor (either Mary or Katarina).

#4: Either Alan or Maria gets reversed isekai'd to Bakarina's previous world after a suspicious incident caused them to flatline. Could be crack or angst or both.

#5: Alan or Geordo as reincarnators who didn't come from Bakarina's previous world. (Honestly, so many possibilities, but my favorite one is a bit of a crossover with Fire Emblem Fates. In which the previous lives of the twins are two of the many children of the King of Nohr, Garon, to various women. They'd obviously be among the 99% who got offed during the infighting between siblings before the main story of the game takes place.)

people rightfully make fun of ken penders a lot but how come barely anybody complains about how he thinks of himself as this creative genius when most of his characters are just recolors or already existing characters with barely changed designs but they're actually from an alternate universe or their child or parent or whatever. the only character of his that a lot of people actually like is scourge but people only like him based on what other writers and artists did with him. hell he didn't even make the design or name that everyone associates with scourge the original version of the character penders made is just. evil sonic with a leather jacket and sunglasses. yet he still takes credit for all those other people's work and makes money off the green design specifically. exploding him with my mind

Unpopular question for the Hetalia fandom: Permission to use Richard as England’s human name?

[debtsunpaid]

I just realized I had another plush I had somehow never posted about before, so let me introduce Geoffrey, my webkinz signature border terrier!

He was another gift from my partner (thank you honey ily), and is Sunny’s boyfriend! He’s very soft and genuinely the most picture-perfect signature kinz I’ve ever seen.

[isfjmel-phleg]

Ha! Actually I would read this [completely fictitious issue] if it existed.

“Dear god, please spare me,” still today, scrawled on the wall of Lincoln Eyre’s old cottage.

Quaintly nestled in the fields of Gloucestershire sits a small village by the name of Bibury — like a tumbled stone in the riverbed, seeing all and knowing no one. That is until 1823, when the Eyre’s cobbler business found a home in the hidden hinterland. Lincoln Eyre — a dreamer, an artist, doomed by the constraints of money and time — followed his parents with a dollar to his name.

The monotonous hand over hand, tongue over teeth made him wish to tear the skin off his body. 1, 2, 3 inhale. 1, 2, 3 coins in savings of his sanity.

With these scraps, he scraped by, expending nearly everything on paint, brushes, canvas, forsaking food to feed the mind. Cerulean blues, lush greens, and lilac purple skies — the daydreams of otherworldly freedom. Painting after painting, further and further neglecting the Eyres and their business. With nothing left, he vowed that this painting, the edges glowing and peculiar, had to be the last.

Some say Lincoln Eyre died of starvation, others that he went mad and ran into the Oxhill Wood. Yet some claim his passion ignited something special in that painting. Something which finally fulfilled his wishes and answered his prayers.

horrible realization

[atwas-meme-ing]

A 30-something year old skunk guy forces a kiss onto Sally whose like 16 and your takeaway is that Sally is a 'toxic slut' rather than 'this writer is bad and a massive creep, and so is his character'? Yikes

I actually haven't gotten back to reading Archie since this one to see what else develops. Maybe she does end up pushing him away, I dunno.

But she looks like she's enjoying this one. In front of Sonic. And again, Le Pew or whatever his name is made it sound like they've done more than kiss.

I have also heard (only a rumor, I don't know where they got it from, I've never looked it up) that Penders at one point confirmed that Sally lost her virginity to Le Pew. Even tho she and Sonic were dating- or at least calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend- long before she even met this guy. So there's that.

And yes, Penders is a bad writer and a massive creep. And he extended that into the characters he wrote for, making them into horrible, pervie creeps, as well. I've heard so many bad things about Scourge, I'm actually NOT looking forward to seeing him come into the comics.

If you wanna simp over Sally, go right ahead. I reserve the right to be disgusted by both her and Le Skunky.
