i am once again thinking abt the lost potential that is hypmic.

#i literally just messaged my friend abt this but stick w me #when nemu gets hypnotized we see her wanting to join the pow which. makes perfect clear sense even without hypnosis #shes shown through out all of tdd as hating unecessary violence and samatokis outburts due to their upbringing #and a political movement that (pretends to) erradicate all violence would interest her like. im just connecting dots here #and she joins because shes hypnotized and blah blah blah. boring. ok but what if. and hear me out.#the hypmic didnt completely overwrite the person but just made them act on their deepest desires #like i thinm my case w nemu is already presented but hear me out for my second contender. sasara #a man that became a thug on a whim because this guy reminded him of his ex. ok cool. what if we went harder on that #sasaras shown to be analytical and extremely cynical already. what if we just ignored canon for a bit #and focused on making his relationships a bit more fucked up. especially involving samatoki #sasaras drawn to him because samatoki fills the void that rosho left him. hes just smth he needs at the moment #but w my wonderful vision what if he grew tired of this fake. what if he had enough. hes not rosho he will never be #hes served his purpouse. but now sasaras stuck. in the middle of ikebukuro bashing some guys head w a pipe #AND THATS WHEN THE MIC COMES IN BABYYYYYYYYYYYYY #this was also brought to you by the fact that i want to see samatoki suffer. i want to see him at his most pathetic #i want him to come to the realization his best friend left him because he no longer fit his ideal vision #i want ACTUAL FUCKING CONFLICT FOR ONCE THAT ISNT SOLVED BY 'hey man. rappings fun' PLEASE #i want these bitches fucked up and in torment #uhhhh didnt think abt kuko w this au at all. idk yall do what you want w him #hypmic #hi main tag :3 #•txt #•hypmic #•idol nonsense

You know the drill 👉 A Dream of Dragons by @arialerendeair

I'm too tired to explain myself 😂. Briefly put, the Mark is a fusion between Death's and Dream's sigils (I tried more komplex ideas but eventually circle back to the simplest one). And I think it fits that Hob would gain a mark based on the Ankh symbol after gaining immortality 😆.

#dreamling #dragon!Hob au #hob gadling #i planned to post just the sketch of the mark but after finishing it i created a new canvas on a whim because i had some time to spare #and it went downhill from there x'D #i don't know what happened #bye I'm gonna pass out #tired ramblings #i love fanfic writers. there's so many talented people!#mayhem art

Is it true that Elizabeth of York birth celebrated like she was a son? I have seen some historians say this.

Hi! Yes, Edward IV did celebrate his daughter’s birth as though she was a male heir (“a prince”), iirc as per the Great Chronicle.

While we have no contemporary reports at the time of Elizabeth of York's birth, we know that Luchino Dallaghiexia reported that the birth of Edward and Elizabeth's third child, Cecily of York, "rejoiced the king and all the nobles exceedingly*, though they would have preferred a son'. Wanting a son (ie: an heir) was typical for their time period, likely enhanced by Edward and Elizabeth's unprecedentedly controversial marriage, her very unsuitable origins and his own status as a usurper. The fact that he was described as being "exceedingly" delighted at the birth of his third daughter in a row regardless does support the claim that he would have gone over-the-top to celebrate the birth of his first legitimate** child.

Hope this helps!

*Bizarrely, I have seen several historians and blogs using Dallaghiexia's letter to claim that he was bitterly disappointed at Cecily of York's birth. I don't understand how historical reading comprehension can be so poor that "rejoiced the king exceedingly" has somehow been rewritten as the...exact opposite of that. With no self-awareness whatsoever. **His illegitimate daughter Margaret (known as Elizabeth for some reason) was almost definitely born before his marriage. We don't know the birth dates of his other two illegitimate children: I think the likeliest conception date for Arthur was in early 1470, but it's unverified; and we know nothing about Grace (which was in fact her surname, not her name) other than the fact that Elizabeth Woodville seems to have been very attached to her.

#ask #elizabeth of york #edward iv #queue #speaking of which #did I mention how much I dislike historians who state that one of Elizabeth Woodville's 'advantages' was that 'she was fertile'#and just leave it at that?#or dumbfuck Anne Boleyn stans who argue Elizabeth was 'safe' because she had a son (she was literally deposed twice but okay)#That is simply incorrect and a complete erasure of her actual - presumably difficult - experiences #Elizabeth literally 'failed' (so to speak) to have a son throughout her first queenship #She had three daughters back-to-back #Her first son with Edward IV was in fact born seven years into her marriage after her husband had already been deposed and in exile #It does her an incredibly disservice to rewrite her very complicated situation according to your own whims and fancies #Particularly considering the very unusual nature of her marriage and rise to queen (+Edward's own status as an usurper)#which meant that Elizabeth - like H8's wives after her - was in a far more precarious position than sonless foreign royal queens before her #And while the lack of a son clearly didn't affect her personal marriage (her husband celebrated their eldest daughter's birth #as though she was a male heir and was described as exceedingly happy at the time of their third daughter's birth;#they decided to go on a pilgrimage - presumably to ask for a son - *together*; etc)#That doesn't change the fact that they were in a very very difficult situation that having a son could have resolved/legitimized #Worries that may have intensified even more after 1469 when George of Clarence (second York brother) rebelled against Edward #I also suspect their lack of a son affected the nature of Warwick's propaganda against them during his rebellions #but that's a whole other topic of discussion #Either way: What we should never do is erase and rewrite Elizabeth's (and Edward's) very complex situation in the 1460s #in favor of an inaccurate but more 'convenient' alternate history #It's a little odd tbh because I HAVE seen such discussions for Anne of Bohemia; MoA; and Henry VIII's wives #who all struggled to have male heirs #But for some reason Elizabeth's situation is not even acknowledged - let alone discussed #funny how that happens #anyway #ik I went VERY off track I'm sorry about that

#bonus extra forms under the cut #burmy #i guess it's not technically a Bonus but it is three images in one post. anyway why is trash-form burmy pink #i never understood this. i'd hear about trash form and go wow it must be like. black and brown with marks of trash all over it and cool #like trubbish. but they just made it pretty pink and cute. how? why? why would a creature that lives in the trash become bright pink #“that hot pink bitch is named breakfast” et cetera #i dunno. whenever i see burmy i think of that one clip from detective pikachu where it's just like #burmy! burmymymy! burmy… burmy :( and pikachu is like WOAH WHAT THE FUCK #i've never played detective pikachu. i should. i probably will go back and play the original once the one on the switch comes out #i saw the movie though. but i don't think that's. anywhere related to the games. to be honest. i also remember going and seeing it in #the theater and it was fucking. me‚ my mom‚ and one other parent/child duo and that's IT. NO one was there in the theater to see it #and we literally just went to go see it on a fuckin. whim. we were driving by‚ looking for something to do‚ and saw that a random theater #was showing detective pikachu. and we just said Fuck It. and it was cool but she kept asking me about every pokémon during the movie #and then it had that really weird ableist villain that was fucked up but the pokémon were cute

You ever wake up from a dream so fucked that you have to sit there for 10 minutes after waking to rewrite the ending so that you can move on with your day or are you normal

#messages from knave #i keep having these ongoing dreams about an alternate reality version of my life #mainly about my parents #like right after i lost my job i had a dream that they'd moved to another state on a whim #and just told me to either upend my entire life to move to florida with them or figure it out #and i ended up moving into a much shittier apartment before realizing 'wait i have a whole house' and moving back into my own house in NJ #and then last night i dreamed I'd visited them and spent a day with my nephews then we all went to a wrestling match #and then after almost being run over by my dad cause he started driving while i was getting into the car #we go back to their house and i take a fat nap only to wake up in the dream and discover that I've disturbed this thumbelina sized toddler #that my mom jad apparentky adopted and then completely forgot about. and we wtruggled to getbit comfortable again on its little ved #then it escaped as toddlers do and i went through a comedy of errors trying to find it only to find it seemingly plastic and lifeless #only for it to start going through rapid metamorphosis into an adult and running around my parents house #my dad and i tried to stop it from growing up becuase every transformation opened up a new pocket dimension or something #then the dream changed into something else as my brain slowly booted back up from a migraine back into reality and i woke up #but the visage of a polly pocket sized toddler being left behind in my adult sized bed really shook me for some reason #it was so small and it was on a teeny pink pillow and it had a little purple teddy it kept dropping #but now I'm thinking of the logitstics of actually raising a child you could step on and squash by accident #that must be nerve wracking like how did thumbelina make it to adulthood without being confibed to a single room or even a single table #cause my first instinct is to build a diarama on a table for them and never let them leave until they're old enough to dodge

#I got a delorian model i love my delorian model you know it's a genuine collectors item because my father got it from ebay #and it still has the original package #genuinely deloreon is such a fun word to misspell #deloron. the dilorian. my dmc-drölf #I've been talkinh about how cool that car is so much i think if it wasn't for the fact we don't have a garage my father would actually be #on board with the idea of someday buying one of those #it's like the cringe fail loser of cars because it's really by all means not the best car #it has less power than it looks like it should have its pretty flat the motor is in the back and the place for storing stuff is in the front #the doors are the coolest thing about it but I LOVE back to the future my favourite trilohy of films #ever since that fateful cinema film marathon in march which I went to on a whim #i had to fight myself up that hill with my bike because our car battery was empty #i missed the first ten minutes of the movie #and the first major issue to be solved is that the car battery is empty and he's stuck in the 50s #and marty is so sweet he's just like me if I wasn't a massive asshole #also absolutely never punctual #there's this poszer #''he was never in time for his classes... he wasn't in time for dinner...and then one day he wasn't in his time at all'' story of my life #so I'm very enamoured with the car of course I got to see some live during summer through sheer coincidence and they really are that cool #so I'm very happy with my model :3 #Vanyan🐈

i will never understand it when new players - and emphasis on new players - decide to story skip, and the further the story skip is, i firmly believe the worse it gets. it's not just shooting yourself in the foot lorewise. that doesn't really have an impact on gameplay, if at all. but when you decide to do combat content with other people, how tf do you parse all of the mechanics thrown at you when you skipped the entire learning process it takes to be able to get at the point when you can do so relatively easily??? how do you find fun when you die over and over to a boss and you have no clue as to what's going on or what killed you???

#this comes from a place of frustration when on a whim i decided to go on a trial roulette spree as a sage.#i ran into a level 100 sprout that stood still for EVERY mechanic and clearly had no idea what to do.#or god forbid it even cared enough to learn what was going on.#the game teaches you VERY EARLY ON that orange bad. and they weren't even trying to dodge either #so i was stuck babysitting them while we also had a few people new to the trial itself so it was hell overall.#like... i get wanting to be on the same level as your friends asap if that's your reason for story skipping. i totally get it.#but you also have to remember what you bring to the table when you're playing with other people too. not just your friends.#idfk that entire experience sucked. i don't think i've ever blacklisted anyone faster LMAO #(and for transparency: i also bought the stb story skip. but it ended up being wasted money since i went back and did everything anyways.)#(and by everything i mean from where i left off at the arr post patches up until shb where it was supposed to start me at.)#(if only i had known i actually wasn't far off from getting into hw bc the recycled primals plotline was fucking killing me.)#(and then i hated the idea of not knowing the story at all so i went back to where i left off without even starting shb yet.)#(anyway story skips are only useful for alts and that's it. thanks for coming to my ted talk)#stfu anri
