I dreamed there was a holiday called The Dance Of Unease where everyone publicly takes up a hobby that they've never done before and shows off their terrible progress every day for the first week

[them-taters]

Please take more creative liberties I like these ones so far

im figuring it out.

[lazylittledragon]

ok so i'm like. overwhelmed

i'm having one of the shittiest weeks of my life and i was really worried my store was going to be a complete flop (honestly i expected my friends to order some stuff and maybe a few other people and that was it)

and then half the things sold out in 2 hours so i'm!!!!! in shock

also the best part: the fundraiser stickers sold out completely!!

[podracerbarrelroll]

gay people that should be allowed to kill and do

historical setting

betrayals

revenge plot

very few clear good or bad guys

characters at odds with each other but you understand all of them and want everyone to win even though it's impossible!

killing someone via ripping out throat with teeth (seriously)

preoccupation with perception and remembrance by other people and how one's story will be told

based on a novel and calls into question how much of that story is "true"

incorporates a fictionalized version of some historical events

“A story is true. A story is untrue. As time extends, it matters less and less. The stories we want to believe, those are the ones that survive, despite upheaval and transition and progress. Those are the stories that shape history.”

The worm in my head won (again)

Also, the ‘pic’ under the cut :3

Jotaro doesn’t take the lead. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again and I’ll die on this hill

I am too indulgent with that worm

here is a selection of fictional men who have not gotten me yet, but undoubtedly will when i am not fixated on an evil roach man (and/or if i think about any of them for a second too long) 😖💖

I can't stop thinking about the Watcher thing it's just so fascinatingly bizarre . like so many components of that decision and how they handled it were so bad and so completely out of left field for how they've operated in the past I am baffled . Someone put these guys under a microscope Stat

Hey! With people sending in suggested ships both cursed and sincere I wanted to stick my oar in with how 👀I've been at the idea of a Humble/Aymeric ship on that sincere end of things. Especially when I saw your musings on the kinds of ship tropes you were potentially intrigued about, all of which I think would lend themselves excellently to a ship with those two;

Friends to Lovers - there's a lot of canon support for Aymeric coming to consider our characters a good friend if Humble's adventures map onto those of the MSQ, but even if they don't I feel very strongly that Humble is the kind of person Aymeric would love to be friends (and then potentially more >:3) with.

Secret Relationship - care/concern around political implications given Aymeric's (and potentially Humble's - I realise I'm not sure whether you consider him to be The WoL or not in your stories!) position in the public eye and how gossipy and judgemental Ishgard can be, as well as it maybe just being nice to have a secret thing that's just theirs on their own terms and they don't have to worry about how they're coming across or what other people think.

Dude in Distress - Again, if canon MSQ is being followed the WoL canonically busts this guy out of jail and then he helps the WoL out when they're in trouble at Ghimlyt. And there's loads of other points in the story where the two are on the battlefield together and could come to each other's rescue, and many other plot points that could easily be nudged in that kind of direction whether MSQ relevant or adjacent or not.

I told myself I wasn't going to write an essay here lmao XD But as always, I'm just really curious and excited to see your own continuing musings around all this, and what ends up feeling right and fun for you! <3

Wow thank you for all the thought you put into this @orime-stories.

Aymeric is definitely a potential ship for Humble that would work well I think - they are both noble, self-sacrificing and somewhat repressed. There are are some interesting contrasts, with Aymeric being fully aware of social mores and Humble... being not so aware. Plus Aymeric's confident oratory and Humble's tendancy to leave his actions to do the talking would make an interesting contrast.

Plus I do have a bit of a thing for the chivalrous knight and rugged barbarian pairing - as it's rich in romantic (and, ahem, erotic) potential.

I think you're right that Friends to Lovers would work for Humble and Aymeric - or at least slightly reserved acquaintances to friends to (eventually) lovers. They are both quite romantic I suspect, or at least Humble would try to be.

Secret Relationship would also have potential, as I suspect the various gossiping aristocrats (and the tavern rumourmongers of The Brume) would assume that Aymeric would be entering into a politically convenient marriage with a noble lady... A romantic entanglement with an hulking bearded Hellsguard would probably upset quite a lot of people. To say nothing of the diplomatic implications of the leader of one Eorzean city-state being in a partnership with the Warrior of Light. So I can imagine a lot of repressed passions until the doors were firmly shut on the outside world.

And yes definitely they could take turns being the Dude in Distress for shipping purposes, although strong as Aymeric is, he might struggle to carry Humble in his arms for any distance.

Plus being apart for extended periods of time would give Humble plenty of opportunity to practice his letter writing, which hopefully Aymeric would be able to decipher given sufficient time...

Thank you so much for the suggestion!

So, the Universe decided that another curve ball would be appropriate on top of everything else that's going so freaking well!

I was leaving for work today when I almost stepped on a pigeon that clearly couldn't fly. He was dragging his wing and was obviously in pain, but the thing is we only have one bird rehab center in our entire city (perhaps even the country) and they absolutely don't take in sick pigeons. I contacted them anyway, hoping against hope, but of course they said no... Because why would anything go right and be simple?

However they gave me a list of vet clinics that might take in the bird (not for free obviously) and one of them was even open on a Sunday.

Cue a half-hour desperate walking back and forth, doing my best to just walk away and let someone else deal with this as I have more than enough on my plate... Guess how successful I was!

The pigeon is now called Ozzy (Black Sabbath work shirt so yeah), he's in a vet clinic being taken care of (broken ribs) and in a couple of days - if he survives the stress - I'll most likely take him home to get him fully better before I release him...

How's your day going?

Mary wrote to Cromwell on 26 May [1536]. Even if this were in response to Lady Kingston's visit, the speed with which Mary sought reconciliation with Henry demonstrates her genuine belief that it had been Anne keeping her father from her. According to Chapuys, the letter in no way resembled the draft Cromwell had drawn up. Mary apologised for her bad handwriting, saying she had written very little for over two years and was only able to do so now, because Lady Kingston had given her means. Since we know she had communicated regularly with Chapuys, she was either lying, or her messages to him were verbal. We also know she had sent letters to Mary of Hungary and Gattinara [...]
