#i am a jester.

you guys aren't prepared for the cooking i am about to do

My liege, how do you remain positive in a world so cruel?

There is a lot of despair right now. I do not wish to add for it. A lot of things can be taken from me, but I will remain hopeful and silly and filled with love for the people I care about. They will not take away my joy

Every time I revisit chapter 86 and the events right after the group talks Marcille down, I'm always struck by this bit here:

In particular, how similar it is to this:

The Winged Lion ate the same desire in both of them, more or less (I'm sure there are some nuances in both flavor and intent, but they are clearly similar things here). The Lion basically used this technique to kill Thistle, and for Marcille it was... not insignificant, but something she and her friends overcame without even fully realizing it was an obstacle.

I feel like this is another small piece of the story that shows how important support and love are - in navigating mental illness, in dealing with abuse or addiction, or in working through any other similar struggle that can be read into the Lion and his eating of desires.

It almost feels like Marcille was able to borrow the desires of her friends. She loves them and she trusts them, so even when she didn't have a desire to free herself from the Lion, the care they had for her well being still mattered to her.

It's the same thing later, with her hair.

She isn't able to notice the way her messy hair is making things harder, let alone do anything about it. But when Chilchuck points it out and then braids it back for her...

It's better. She likes it, things are easier now. Even though it isn't a desire she can feel for herself, it's not something that doesn't effect her. And because her friends care - because they know her well enough to notice the difference - she is given the chance to have a preference and to ask for their help.

We can obviously see some parallel ideas here with Mithrun and Kabru as well, but I'd also like to point out that Thistle gets this grace, too. Thistle, who had no one to help him up once he lost his will to resist, or to encourage him to find new desires once the Lion ate them all.

Thistle says he doesn't need anything, anymore...

But he is given an apology anyways.

It is not a kindness he desires. It is not a kindness he is able to ask for.

But it is a kindness that helps. It is a kindness that matters.

...Turns out gay sex actually was the solution.

(This is basically a redraw, come read the real deal over at Tiger Tiger)

ghost names your contact on his phone something absolutely diabolical like ‘svalbard’.

when soap accidentally on purpose sees a text pop up from you, he thinks ghost’s hiding a snowbird in norway. he risks the question.

“so…who’s ‘svalbard’, lt?”

ghost’s grin is beyond smug. pure filth. “where i dump my seed for safekeepin’.”

they’re on the moon!!

Finished another piece from the mighty nein coloring book just in time for the second reunion reveal, I cannot believe we'll soon get to see them all again!!

[saphira-artandoc]

This episode has EVERYTHING :

Cast members confusing their characters from two different campaigns ;

Absolute fucking chaos ;

Mighty Nein members giving guidance to Bell’s Hells ;

PÂTÉ AND SPRINKLES BEING SWAPPED BETWEEN LAUDNA AND JESTER;

Jester ;

Jester and Fearne causing chaos ;

Ashton seeking romance help from Yasha and Jester (hopefully a Callomoore discussion in next episode) ;

Dorian and Orym confessing to each other and sleeping in the same room (literally, that’s so them), just taking comfort where they can because who knows what will happen;

DORIAN THINKING OF WHAT IFS SCENARIO / THINGS HE COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY WITH HIS NEW RELATIONSHIP IN THESE TRYING TIMES 😭😭😭

Fjord and Jester talking about their wedding and Fjord reassuring her his proposal was not a mistake and he wants her to not rush their wedding so she could have the wedding she deserved 🥺

So excited to see where everything goes from here, of course I didn’t list everything because this was a doozy…

As Liam said “I feel like I’m going insane” and bud ain’t that just the way with CR khcgxjh

Kaloo, Kalay! Earl Conversational Sprites hastily put together for his Birthday Ask Session, which was on June 1st! Thank you to everyone that wished him a happy birthday and visited with him on his special day <:o)

[its-your-mind]

the transgender swag exhibited by the m9 is off the charts.

Four of them go by chosen names. Beau’s dad wanted her to be a boy, and is disappointed that she isn’t. Fjord remade his personality to mimic the only father-figure in his life. The two strongest people in the party are both girls. The person with the long pink hair and undercut and teal/pink mushroom aesthetic has the deepest voice in the party by a COUNTRY MILE. Caleb grew his hair long and shaved his beard as soon as he felt it was safe enough. Mollymauk Tealeaf is there.
