Thinking about Elizabeth Woodville as a gothic heroine is making me go insane. She entered the story by overturning existing social structures, provoking both ire and fascination. She married into a dynasty doomed to eat itself alive. She was repeatedly associated with the supernatural, both in terms of love and death. Her life was shaped entirely by uncanny repetitions - two marriages, two widowhoods, two depositions, two flights to sanctuary, two ultimate reclamations, all paralleling and ricocheting off each other. Her plight after 1483 exposed the true rot at the heart of the monarchy - the trappings of royalty pulled away to reveal nothing, a never-ending cycle of betrayal and war, the price of power being the (literal) blood of children. She lived past the end of her family name, she lived past the end of her myth. She ended her life in a deeply anomalous position, half-in and half-out of royal society. She was both a haunting tragedy and the ultimate survivor who was finally free.

How Homestuck Beyond Canon Candy Timeline has/will have parallels with Homestuck proper around and during the events of [S] Game Over

Jane Crocker heavily aligned/influenced by with Crocker Corp. Notice how her neck accessory looks very similar to the Crocker computer tiara. There's also the circuits surrounding the button, which are reminiscent of Crockertier Jane's visual mind control effect by The Condesce.

Jane also kind of looks like The Condesce with how she's silhouetted here.

The head of Crocker Corporation on a large Crocker space ship. A ship which I would like to point out looks eerily similar to the ship that The Condesce flies around in except the forks/sporks are facing the opposite direction and it's got black on it instead of mostly red.

Jake dying at the hands of Crocker influenced Jane and coming back to life parallels with this Jane coming close to killing Jake, but stopping right before death. Same green text too.

The cast of characters surrounding this time in the comic are also similar.

We also got the whole Crocker laser beam of death being hinted at which we've absolutely seen before.

I talked about this in one of my previous theories, Jake is getting a better grasp of his hope powers; so, I think we could see another hope explosion again in some capacity out of Jake's concern for Tavvy.

I could also totally see Jake being held hostage by one of the Crocker Clones A.K.A. the Brig Boys and Kanaya cutting them up with her chainsaw (hopefully avoiding Jake).

This is more of a little side detail, but Vriska is once again on the sidelines while this massive important fight takes place because she's trapped in her own personal Hell this time.

CHARACTER DEATH FLAGS - I don't know how to organize this post and there was a lot more potential evidence to this than I thought there was going into it.

Let me preface this with the fact that the existential split between Meat and Candy sometimes seems to try to course correct itself and much like certain peoples DNIs, it doesn't want any doubles. We see this with Dirk, Dave (he died even if he ascended to ultimate self afterwards), June/J/John, Terezi(seemingly), Meenah (her other self is in the black hole with Lord English so we can't necessarily confirm death but yknow), Aradia (is just Aradia), Gamzee, Calliope (that is a whole complex situation), and Rose (if her future sight is correct, but we'll get to that). Those are the only examples I can think of at this time, but it's absolutely a repeating pattern of the universe sort of course-correcting to have only one of each of our main characters exist at a time. This, at least in the cases of Dirk, Dave, & Rose seems to be related to the ascension to ultimate self, but we can't really say if that's why the other characters only get one existence at this time.

Karkat has has at least 2 deaths from around this time, one involving Crockertier Jane as well which could be a sign of things to come.

Rose's death flag is that she has literally foreseen her death in her future sight. She is thinking about Kanaya and Roxy in the same thought process while seeing her own death, feeling full of regret (even though she's trying to repress her own feelings) about her relationship to Roxy and Kanaya. Very similar to her being regretful as she was dying in Roxy's arms. I'm also guessing the bullet that hits her will be from Jake's gun, just throwing that out as a possibility.

ROSE: What... ROSE: Happened to me? ROXY: the witch got u ROXY: with her fork ROXY: but youre gonna be ok ROSE: Oh. ROSE: That's nice. ROSE: *Cough.* ROXY: maybe you uh ROXY: shouldnt try to talk now ROSE: You saved me, didn't you? ROXY: ... ROSE: Thanks. ROSE: But, ROSE: She's gone, isn't she. ROSE: For good, I mean. ROXY: ? ROSE: I saw her die. ROSE: And. ROSE: It's a shame how... ROSE: *Cough.* ROSE: A shame that I never even... ROSE: Got to tell her... ROSE: I loved her. ROXY: who?

ROSE: Kanaya. ROSE: But... ROSE: You too, mom.

Kanaya also has a death flag here in getting hit by The Condesce's laser beam of death, but it's more of a maybe given that we see Rose's future vision of Kanaya holding her body in her arms. Keep in mind though we also had this bit of dialogue about the reliability of future sight right before we saw that vision.

JADE: dont forget im more than a little versed in future sight myself ok JADE: i dont care how credible it seems, you cant depend on that information!

Jake and Jane are also on the chopping block potentially, but I can't think of a way at this time, unless Kanaya mistakes Jake for one of the clones amidst her rage and ends up cutting through him along with the Crocker clones. The one pictured below was done by Aranea who is out of the story. Maybe Meenah's trident hits Jake somehow or something, I don't know. We also have meat Jake and Jane who are doing more okay.

On top of the parallels to the doomed timeline that was [S] Game Over, we also had Vriska say that this reality was fake and didn't matter. I'm paraphrasing and I don't know if we'll get a doomed timeline situation yet with the 4 kids still in it, but I just thought the amount of parallels was interesting & worth pointing out.

I also wanted to get this out before the next update in case it's related to the flash animation and any of my predictions come true.

Alternatively I think the flash animation will be Ultimate Dirk kick starting his SBURB home brew session on Deltritus. He probably has all the tech and narrative powers to do it based on what we've seen, they just need a species they'll both be satisfied with as the players for the session.

I just realized I have never seen dru with dawn in literally anything, so! here's some very quick thoughts about them:

dawn thinks drusilla is a FREAK at first. they do not get along bc dru is so so taken with little dawnie and little dawnie herself is petrified every time this psycho vampiress who speaks in incomprehensible metaphors drifts into the room and laser focuses onto her

dru likes to always have a hand on dawn. little pats and playing with her hair and whatever she can get away really with without being pushed away. she's like a cat, constantly rubbing up against the girl like she's marking her territory with love. dawn's their little girl! ...even if the only one who knows it yet is dru herself

dru cannot get enough of just being around dawn. her key-ness is mesmerizing. first time dru sees dawn is a shit show for everyone except dru, who is having a fascinating time Seeing dawn

just like spike, dru gives dawn lots of nicknames. the slayer is their own personal sunshine, but dawn here has been touched by the universe itself

I think over time dawn would learn to appreciate dru's attention, if only bc she feels as though no one else is giving her any and dru is always happy to provide, making them quite close (even if for not very good reasons)

Something I've been thinking a lot about lately is how everyone thought Egon had gone insane. What Happened that made them think that. They've fought a gigantic Stay Puft Marshmellow Man TWICE (counting the 2009 video game because iirc it's canon? Correct me if I'm wrong), fought an interdimensional god, fought a blood thirsty ruler that killed thousands and was hated by all that was trapped in a painting (and managed to get in to beat him by making THE STATUE OF LIBERTY start walking down the street with slime that reacted purely based on vibes), found an underground abandoned transit system full of the moodslime, had a bathtub try to eat Dana and her baby, fought a giant murderous black widow lady, fought the fisherman ghost who turned an entire hotel floor into the bottom of a ocean, and that's not even mentioning them getting trapped on an island that randomly raised up from underwater that had been abandoned for decades created by Ivor Shandor who worshipped Gozer. So what did he do or say that made everyone else think he'd gone insane?? All I can think is maybe he was acting strange / eratic before, but he's always been like that to some degree.

I don't know. It's something that I've been thinking about. The correct answer is 'it's not that deep and they needed a reason that the others weren't together anymore and weren't aware of Egons death or know what was going on,' but also. What Was He Saying that prompted everyone, including Ray, to think he lost his mind when he'd been right almost every time before that.

I'm genuinely so curious as to what he was up to before this. What was he doing. What insane idea was working on prior to this or was he even working on anything at all??

Also want to clarify this post isn't negative 😭 I really love the newer movies and their lore / the newer storyline / characters, I just like thinking about small stupid things like this. Gives me something to think about / speculate about / figure out an answer to.

FFXIV Naughty Fic Prompts

a collection of my favorite smutty tropes and ideas that I desperately want to see people write

Only One Bed Trope (tm)

Someone accidentally walks in on your OC pleasuring themselves

Your OC accidentally walks in on someone pleasuring themselves

Your Echo-bearing OC has a vision of someone in a private moment

Sparring leads to steamy times

Bandaging wounds/cleaning up after battle

Your OC being watched (alone or with others) during a private moment by Midgardsormr/Feo Ul/Ardbert/Fray (Esteem)/Emet Selch/Crystal Exarch/that fucking shoebill/Hydaelyn, or anyone else who regularly spies on them

A linkpearl call at a very bad time

Discovering/dealing with racial physical differences during intimacy (ears horns tails height differences etc etc etc)

Vacation to the Gold Saucer/Costa Del Sol/one of the many hot springs in the game (Kugane, Camp Bronze Lake, Lakeland)

Combat abilities used sensually/sexually

Post-battle emotional high/"Holy shit we're alive" moment

Pre-huge battle "We might not make it out of this alive" moment

Fun with fantasias

Everyone is attracted to the WoL/everyone wants a piece of the WoL

"I know we shouldn't but I can't help it" sorts of dynamics

Fellow Scion/acquaintance walks in on WoL/OC with their partner - gossip ensues

That damn Ishgardian ball we never got but deserved (ok I guess this isn't really steamy but it can be)

Other character with special sensing abilities (Y'shtola's aether sight, Krile's super sensitive Echo, Hythlodaeus' soul sight etc) knows what the WoL/OC has been up to/knows OC and their partner are a couple before they're out (or uses their ability in the heat of the moment if shipping with them)

Something fueled by armor/glams (and we know there's a lot of sexy outfits in game)

WoL/OC being given comfort after one of their few defeats (Zenos, Ranjit, Final Days etc)

a recording of the tumblr CEO Q&A that happened on tumblr live on 07/11/23.

some notes: the very beginning of the video is cut off, but the audio for it is fine. and there are a few small areas in the second half of the video where the audio drops in quality a bit.

all of that is because this whole video is actually frankenstein'd together from several different audio and video sources, recorded by myself, @xccentriktigress, and @fokron, and with extra help from @eiimblr and @sharksfood!

thank you all for working on this team project with me, and for helping archive this so that others can see it! yay teamwork! :D

So me and my friend @golubayasoyka have started building the magnus institute in Minecraft. We are using this map from reddit with a few deviations

From there we decided to build the bottom floor first with these amazing computers (built by me)

But here's a tour I did while it was mostly done. Missing a few details the trapdoor by the entrance, and the stairs weren't finished but those come later

We then added stairs "to the next floor" we are making this all separate as it's easier to build complex things that way.

At this point soyka had to come off and I did the second floor, the entrance, mostly by myself with help from a couple friends with pallets and the like. This is where I deviated from the floorplan above have the reception at the beginning while leaving places like the librarians office and admin/hr.

I then worked to the walls and the smaller rooms. Such as the librarians office pictured below

Then as the last thing for now I started the roof and lighting, since this is to be built in survival I used frog lights which I can just make a farm for.

That's all for now we will keep you all updated and maybe release a world download if people want it

@do-androids-dream-ao3acc I had a lot of fun making this list, so it came out a bit long, but hopefully my ideas will be helpful! I have saved two posts from the ones I read as a reference, so I can tag you there as well, if you want! 🤓

Explanations for my choices are in Italics and the order of days was just for the experiment.

Now, since I have a very vague idea of the show and fandom, I'm kinda like the Big Mouse with the writers of the new Star Wars stuff. Also, I found out that I'm better at choosing prompts for angst 😂, but anyways, I present to you:

BuckTommy Whump Week of July 2024 (example):

1. Wound neglect - a classic, doesn't matter if it's more of hiding an injury or just "not a problem, I can deal with this". A "lighter" start.

2. "You said you'd never leave!" + "Leave me alone! I'm fine!" - a combination would be more potent than just one of them alone, I think. Can it be done in any form other than writing, though?

3. Touch aversion OR Insomnia - another classic

4. "I can't walk" / "I can't feel my legs" - I was inspired by THAT scene in SW Andor which just.crushed.me (I didn't like this feeling 🥴)

5. A prompt inspired by a specific reference from the show - I need help with those!!!

6. The man in the mirror - found this idea randomly, but maybe it can be connected to some form of PTSD? I like how it sounds, but you're the expert...

7. Difficult forced choice + Near death situation - didn't like the idea of this being a typical "accident!" thing, but at the same time maybe keeping it more vague (besides the key points from the two mentioned sentences) is better if that makes sense? A combo with different possibilities for a lot of tension and anxiety?Something worthy of the position of a finale anyway...

Other popular/interesting prompt titles I thought you may like: Hypothermia; "It's broken"; Bedridden; Exhaustion; Seeing Double; "I don't need your help"; Scars; "I thought I was getting better".

So, what do you think?

[rainbowangel110]

Putting this behind a read more for the SGB peeps

So there's this post here with tags saying that either we're purists or don't realize it, and that some of the cast has died + they're prepubescent teens what do you except??

I went to their blog hoping for an explanation and turns out they also said that they think the work "sexualization" is now a buzzword here and should be taken away....

*inhales* oh boy. If this is a response to people reacting to the fics out there about the kids well, buddy, congrats! That's the worst way anyone has put it!

They're all 14-15 as of right now, so they're not prepubescent my dude, and can drive (a bit), but even then, even then it's still weird to write a fic about what could potentially happen in a tango between minors. I personally have not come across anything but @girlscoutbrownies @b3achysurfur @planetarymesss @astronautica-ss @@itstivan have talked about how it's just not okay.

I am personally fine with sex in media but if it's between two minors I am out, that is not something that needs to be in there. Consenting adults are alright, certain themes of abuse can be added (if they are handled properly), and you can read/watch it all you want, I don't care. Just..... yeah no.

Summary and Report below Read More

//Summary//

So Marc and Jorge both get decent starts from P2 and P1 respectively. However Jorge brakes hard to disengage the ride height device, and Marc (according to his post race interview) had to pick up the bike to avoid contact. Marc goes wide and loses a lot of places, by turn 2 he’s in P8.

Pecco gets a good start too, originally up to second after Marc goes wide, but goes wide a little himself, letting Bez through turn 1 and then Maverick through turn 2.

Maverick gets a bad start as per but is saved by Pecco and Marc going wide turn 1.

Jorge is leading with Bez in second.

By lap 2 Jorge has built to 0.800s gap.

Pecco (p3) held up by Bez who does some pretty spectacular defending.

Marc, at this point, is steadily regaining places. Multiple places within a single lap, and if you discount Jorge (who has clear track in front of him), he’s considerably faster than the rest of the field, and by lap 3 has got to p4.

Track limit warning Jorge (amounts to nothing unfortunately)

Pecco finally gets past Bez by lap 4 and into p2.

Marc, now chasing Bez, catches him so quickly (seriously his pace was really impressive), but is held up by Bez for half a lap or so, enabling Enea to catch the both of them up.

Marc does a really great pass on Bez on lap 5 into p3. Different line final corner by turning a little tighter into the straight, passes him in the acceleration. His line would have meant that Bez probably had more speed on the straight, however Marc nails the braking into turn 1 and makes the move stick.

Johan Zarco and A.Marquez both crash and retire, wasn’t shown on broadcast so I don’t know what happened. Far as I know they’re okay.

Marc closes the gap to Pecco and is held up for a few laps but Pecco gets the braking wrong and Marc puts it down the inside of him at turn 4 on lap 10, putting him P2.

Enea gets through on Pecco soon after so Pecco went from 2nd to 4th in only a few corners.

The gap between Marc and Jorge is at 3.0 seconds by the start of lap 11

Jack Miller crashes and retires (not shown in broadcast but found out post race it was from a seagull)

Marc pulls off immediately 0.9 seconds from Enea in p3 but Jorge is booking it

Pedro crashes and retires it was a high side while trying to save rear.

Marc has slightly better pace but Jorge keeps it within 3-2.5 seconds

Bez and Maverick have a massive massive crash lap 11. They were fighting for p5. Bez was defending really well (great defending from him all race). Maverick has a great run on him on the straight, passes him, however in the braking Bez’s front tyre collides with Mavericks rear and Bez essentially high sides directly into the concrete. They both slide into the gravel.

Very fast crash, over 200mph/320kmh. The bikes are totalled. Both Bez and Maverick went to the medical center following this, but they were conscious and moving. As what I’m guessing is a precaution, Bez was taken off on a stretcher.

Binder crashes in a slide and retires.

Because of the crash, there’s a yellow flag sector 1 which slightly slowed the pace of Jorge and Marc. However once that was cleared, he still wasn’t really catching him. Last lap, Marc is 2 seconds behind and by the checkered flag that was down to 1.5 seconds.

Diggi is given an 8 second penalty post race for tyre pressure which takes him from p5 to p9.

//Report//

So another Marc comeback. Woah. I understand what happened turn 1, a lot of other riders messed up that first turn. I half believe him with what he was saying about avoiding contact with Jorge, however in the same breath he was also calling it a mistake on his behalf. So to me I think it was a combination of a mistake he won’t outwardly admit to and Jorge’s braking to disengage the ride height device (send it to superhell MotoGP please).

Nevertheless, it cost him the race. Typical standard Marc Marquez comeback. Picking through the field immediately, even faster than I think he normally does which is fair given his confidence around this circuit and his pace all weekend. Honestly there was nothing else he could have done. He caught riders quickly, he passed them quickly at the first chance he got.

Jorge had insane pace. If he had got hold up by someone else even the first quarter of the race, entirely different outcome. But the gap he built from the start gave him such an advantage, and his sole competitor scrapping in traffic and using up his tyres meant that he basically sailed to victory. Strong performance from Jorge.

I hate to say it, I really thought Pecco was making the comeback he needed in the championship over these flyaways. Especially so since Motegi, and I know the gap hasn’t stretched by much, (from 10 points to 16), and Jorge has has a larger gap before, but this is the closest I’ve gotten to seeing Jorge actually believing he’ll win this in Valencia.

Pecco has been nowhere, frankly. He’s a rider who relies a lot on data, so this weekend being in such mixed conditions with not a lot of track time has put him on a serious back foot. His defending today really wasn’t up to standard, especially defending p2 and p3 from Marc and Enea, crucial positions for the championship fight. I know the both of them are traumatised from their dnfs under pressure, but I feel like they’ve now let the pressure get to them so much they’ve forgotten they’re in a championship fight. It’s like the both of them only truly believe in themselves once they’re out in front. Fortunately for us they both equally dominate within a weekend (Pecco in Motegi, and Jorge today for example) so technically there is still a championship fight. Unfortunately for us, you wouldn’t think it from watching the races, because they get five laps in, accept their position and are mentally already thinking about the next race instead of the one they’re bloody in. Today this cost Pecco even more than usual because he had Marc behind him, who has had an edge this weekend he doesn’t typically have. And Enea who was also looking fairly solid himself.

Hopefully, because Ducati will now have lots of data from the sprint, Pecco should do better tomorrow, but frankly who knows.

I think tomorrow, the winner will depend on whoever gets out front first and can build that gap. But honestly, even if the exact same thing happens to Marc tomorrow and he has to recover positions, he had the pace and he WAS faster than Jorge. He just didn’t have enough of an advantage on him to recover the ground within the laps he had. But we have a longer race tomorrow. I’ll expect some proper scrapping from those two :)

Quick mention on the incident between Maverick and Bez. Nasty nasty nasty crash. Maverick has been declared fit. Bez has no fractures but is been sent to Melbourne for a full check up. It’s still under investigation but I don’t know if there’s anyone at fault. I’ve now rewatched it a lot and from the helicopter footage you can see Bez hit the front break so hard (to avoid the contact) that his rear tyre actually lifts off the ground. But once it regrips there’s nothing he could do to correct himself in time and he’s sent flying over the back of Mavericks bike. Luckily, Maverick only got a slide but god Bez hit the ground hard. Seriously seriously hoping he’s okay, but yeah, in my opinion, nothing to be done about that. We’ll see what the stewards have to say.
