What if I proposed the analysis that Belos actually has very little internal moral compass and that his veneer of righteousness has always been implied by the writers to be complete fabricated bullshit even before watching and dreaming basically confirms it.
#ramblings of a lunatic#^shes going in drafts untagged bc a) philip stans who insist on the morally misguided angle terrify me in their persistence#and b) i would have to actually rewatch episodes and whatnot#but i think i can build credence to the idea that him and caleb started off not invested in witch hunting for moral righteousness#but numb to it via cultural normalisation and THUS. had an amoral approach to the whole thing#and the only thing either of them as orphan outsiders ever really would've gained from witch hunting would've been careers and recognition#a sense that they're heroes- not in the moral sense but in the narrative sense. that they were protagonists#The Most Important Boys so to speak#the difference being Caleb at some point decided witch hunting was wrong (i.e like hunter did. grew a moral compass)#and philip still navigated the world amorally 400 years later only motivated by a petty grudge and deep buried guilt#the latter of which is nearly irrelevant to anyone who isn't philip bc clearly he priorities that grudge above it#this is just a personal petty opinion#but i honestly don't think the 'delusional and petty' angle is any less complex than the 'moral crusader' angle w/ his character#and it matches the whole 'hes a magic conservative' message way better than his motives being genuine#one day I'll rewatch that scene in WaD and see if Philip fans are onto something and I've been drinking the pond water#or if it's actually congruent with his character like I've since come to see it and like i know many saw it the first time round#anyway this is actually all for me. in drafts you go#edit: hi. it's the ladel of like. 3 weeks after i made this and put it in drafts. it's nearly 1 am rn and- in my delirium-#i have decided to publish it#i doubt it'll do much w/ regards to response bc fandom has been on the quiet side lately (tho that can always change(#plus I made a similar post insinuating the same notion and it got ZERO traction positive or negative#which tells me I'm good to just say shit for the most part (in a good natured way)#anyway. hits post cutely (i am so fucking tired)

Godryn had suffered from migraines for as long as he could remember. It was difficult to predict their onset and the cause of the symptoms, and many attempts to treat it barely relieve the pain. The only thing he noticed was the pattern: those dreams-stories from the Dunmer books always make him woke up exhausted, as if he had lived all the events in real.
It was obvious why the young man doomed not to be a battle mage - the amount of fortify fatigue potions and coffee drunk by him would have been enough to knock down a Daedric prince with bare hands in a second, but all this was only to get the young mage out of bed.
This is not the case, however. There were no dreams that night as well as any extraordinary events for him being exhausted, and only thing Godryn did was standing in front of the mirror with a sour expression, pointing finger and calling himself a "scum".
#reverse au#wip whenever#i just remembered this meme and decided to draw#writing a chapter? nah. posting memes from chapter that not even published? yes#voryn dagoth#voryn incarnation#tes#the elder scrolls#Godryn having ultimate n'wah experience

Hellsing 2002 calendar illustration.
Ein wunderliche und erschröckliche Hystori von einem großen Wüttrich genant Dracole wayda Der do so ganz unkristenliche marrter hat angelegt die mensche, als mit spissen als auch die leut zu Tod geslyffen
A wondrous and frightening story about a great berserk called Dracula the voivode who inflicted such unchristian tortures such as with stakes and also dragged people to death
#hellsing#alucard#kouta hirano#translation was found in a comment by u/lazyfoxheart on r/Kurrent#fun fact this is the highest quality version of this image that exists online#i know because i've been looking forever for a version that's clear enough to actually read what hirano wrote under '1443'#but there weren't any so i had to take matters into my own hands#the real image on the back of the guidebook is only 2 inches tall so i had to take this with my smartphone and will my hands not to shake#anyway i'm pretty sure it's supposed to say Eğrigöz (the location vlad was imprisoned) so yeah. thank you hirano very cool#if i might rant for a sec it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out because i didn't have the guidebook at first#and in the images i could find online that part was just a blur that looked suspiciously like a person's signature and i was like. who tf#i was thinking matthias corvinus since he issued some political propaganda against vlad iirc but it didn't match his signature on wikipedia#then i thought it might be vlad II dracul's since he probably had to sign an agreement to send his sons over as hostages at some point#but that didnt seem right either so i kept skimming vlad's wiki page#and then i was like goddammit...hirano.....you just misspelled Eğrigöz didn't you.. ....#i maybe should've made a separate post dedicated to this instead of writing a novel in the tags but eh#the hellsing brainrot runs deep#also- i put it in the source link at the bottom of the post but the german inscription is copied off a real woodcut of vlad from 1491#except instead of depicting him as an adult hirano drew him as a child which gives the inscription a very different feel imo#the one final thing that interests me about this is the fact that hirano published this calendar in 2002#which is REALLY early in the series. like this was before volume 5 came out??#i have no idea why he decided to do a massive spoiler drop in a random piece of japan-only merch#sandwiched between a drawing of alucard as john travolta from saturday night fever and integra as a fish no less#it makes me really curious to know what the fan response to this was back then. like did people even know who this was#maybe im just an idiot and everyone back then was like 'ah yes its alucard as a 12 year old. how very informative'

i have been voting in the DC's next queer couple polls here on tumblr.com, but I also want it on record that I believe with my whole soul that DC should follow in Marvel's illustrious footsteps and continue the good work they did with Tim Drake and Kon-El by only ever allowing one half of any popular ship to come out.
One of the lantern boys, but only one, and if it's Hal, the door to Ollie's closet gets nailed shut with him inside
One of Boostle
One of Roy, Dick, and Jason gets to come out but only one (and it cannot under any circumstances be dick because the fact that he's still officially straight is way too funny to me personally. they put him on the cover of their pride special, and he's still in the closet, it's incredible)
Lex just starts openly admitting that he's thirsty for Clark, Clark does a mischa collins in response and officially comes out as straight
mostly this is because i think it's funny, partly it's because people are being absolute dicks over that fun bracket, and a little bit it's because i'm a cable fan and i'm feeling spiteful.
#dc next gay couple bracket#boostle#jaydick#jayroy#roydick#timkon#guykyle#guyhal#halkyle#halollie#clark x lex#i made this post when it was relevant#and for some reason didn't publish it#and then cancer happened#and today i found it in my draughts#and decided fuck it#I still think this is funny#have some wildly outdated tumblr commentary!

Please imagine Umemiya Hajime who's good at camping. He's well prepared and can start a fire in seconds if necessary. (Not to mention him chopping wood?) But also imagine the knots he can tie when putting the tent up. His fingers deftly looping and pulling around the stakes before he tightens them. He'll teach you what different ones are good for, but every time he has you try to do it, you come up blank, unable to tie the simplest thing. It takes the third time of him showing you before he realizes the dreamy look in your eyes isn't one of concentration to learn. But really, who could blame you when he explains it so patiently in that sweet low rumble that he uses when he's alone with you in close proximity. When occasionally he'll grab your hands in his to physically show you how the knots tie, and you can feel the callouses on his palms grazing your skin.
#umemiya hajime x reader#wind breaker#i was thinking of hobbies to give him since i wanted to do another hobby post and i was like hmmm camping? he'd make a fantastic eagle scou#but then i was like 'he could use those knots to tie me up' >_>#but i was also like 'he would be great at whittling' lmfao nothing sexier than making little carvings and animals with a small piece of woo#and a knife#so i decided to talk about his hands and tying knots and save the regular camping stufff for the actual post i make at a later date#also why do i only have good writing ideas when i drive? 99% of all things i publish are thought of mid car ride to and from work#mari writes#also i kept giggling at innuendos#chopping 'wood' pitching a tent#silly silly

Kind of want to write an academic AU. Do I know for what ship/fandom? Nope. Do I have any plot besides mundane suffering and/or disturbingly specific catharsis for me? I do not. Have I written fic in ages? I have not. And yet. Here we are.
#hilary for ts#etc etc processing trauma through writing#also my novel is finished!#can't decide whether to bother trying to find an agent but that seems like a lot of work#and i have made a cover and everything so it would be easy to publish#bad news: there will be a sequel#i am already 120k words deep#but yes this is the definition of “no plot just vibes”#and frankly there are barely even any vibes#i just like to put my blorbos in academia and watch them suffer#for reasons

#ask#right now i have 4 chapters done and i'd like to have 10+ before i decide if i want to publish it!#after how bad my burnout was after gh i want to go into my next project properly prepared ha ha

I really want to know how Lilith Sorrengail feels about trying her best to get her youngest daughter away from whatever it was that her dad supposedly found in the Archives after Brennan 'died', just to get said daughter even more involved with the tyrrish rebellion two: electric boogaloo.
#fourth wing#ngl my first thought reading the book was 'oh shit she Knew brennan wanted to use his sis as a scribe informant for the rebellion the same#way he maybe used his dad and she was like hell no and put her in the riders quadrant to get her brainwashed that navarre is right instead#so that she doesn't end up dead like spy-scribe dad and his questionable research into ward magic'#but then i thought about it more and decided i wasn't giving papa sorrengail enough credit bcoz he was Up to Something and got got for it#personally if my entire family was lying to me abt my big bro being alive i would lose my shit. that being said i find it incredibly funny#that everyone who knew violet best were like 'she finds out venin are a thing and she WILL do A Stupid out of righteous fury'#not A Stupid like smthn dumb; A Stupid like lead the entire scribe quadrant to a bloody revolution against Navarre Babel-style#I can't wait for this series to finish publishing so I can sit my ass down and plot out a scribe-revolution-leader-Violet AU#it can even be a viden secret arranged marriage. as a treat. because we need to merge the two rebellions of course#where is tiern in all of this? he got stuck babysitting teen andarna who is Super Mad her rider is a scribe. The Audacity! Navarre Will Pay#teenage dragon shenanigans occur. Scribe Violet bonds two dragons in front of her whole year. they're in the underground scribe library.#how did two enormous-ass lizards get in? nobody gives a shit. all scribes are too sleep-deprieved to care about distinguishing between#real life and halucinations. the dragons stay in the library. they get sat on because it's cold underground and fire lizards are Warm#command tries to find out if smthn weird is happening in the scribe quadrant but at this point every single one of them is in the rebellion#they have 600yrs of misinfo to correct. venin to dissect. what dragons? in the library? don't be ridiculous they'd burn the books#anyways i got carried away but library cats!tiern and andarna#kei writes

Additional info:
2. this was published as news on Sparks' website:
3. Alvin and the Chipmunks
youtube
4. Everyone has seen it, but anyway. The Russia Today Report video.
6. When I'm Sixty-Four (Bonus videos: you may also enjoy this version performed by Russell and the band Baby Lemonade and this performance of All You Need Is Love where Russell shares the stage with Jarvis Cocker and The Residents, among others.)
youtube
[Edit: dangit I forgot an option. Sparks also joined Facebook in 2007.]
#...okay this poll may have just been an excuse for me to rave about the things Sparks were up to in 2007#(dangit forgot to add the option of them joining facebook...)#sparks#sparks (band)#russell mael#ron mael#honestly. what a year.#I myself haven't even decided what I am going to vote for#the posh spice story being published as news on their own website is a very strong contender though#but SPARS is iconic (even my non-fan sister loves SPARS)#21x21 was a stroke of brilliance#the when I'm sixty-four performance is a thing of beauty#waterproof umbrella. the predecessor to them selling Sparks fans. (merch game insanely strong)#I don't like alvin and the chipmunks at all but it is funny as hell that that happened#a cd after 30 years for their 7th album called introducing sparks. heck I love it.#2007#posh spice#alvin and the chipmunks#spars#when i'm sixty-four#the beatles

the clans use salt for healing and cooking if i remember correctly. im only saying this because would someone ever name their kid "saltkit"
Yes! Saltkit is a valid prefix in BB, but only after moving to the Lake.
Before then, they make a sort-of-salt out of burning dandelion root. They consider this material a kind of soot, fine ashes produced by burning something. The rough translation of this spice is "soot-salty-taste."
Salty (taste) = Byyle (Comes from blood-taste)
Soot (ashes produced by finely burning something) = Keybo (Used alone in artsy contexts, usually describes bistre, a pigment made from soot and water.)
Plant Salt (of coltsfoot or dandelion) = Keybyy
To specify if it comes from Dandelion or Coltsfoot, you'd say Keybyy Raerra or Keybyy Hakprru. There aren't two dedicated words for the difference; these are both considered "types of dandelions" by Clan cats.
Dandelion = Awpo Any flowering ground plant with fluffy yellow petals.
This is why they didn't previously have a word for salt itself! They would only ever encounter raw salt as an animal lick, which they'd call Byylebon. Salty-useful-rock. Because it was associated with humans, they wouldn't steal them or interact with them much.
Rraash is a Townmew loanword, a word they adopted for raw, powdered salt during their time trading with BloodClan. At the Lake, they now collect raw sea salt during "Salt Patrols," which are beach trips where a big collection of apprentices are brought to the ocean to learn how to collect and process salt.
So, depending on how the parents would like to name their child, those translations could be;
Byylemew = Saltykit The taste of salt. Could refer to the flavor of blood, the taste of the ocean, or the spice made from burned dandelion roots. Has a very food-y connotation, probably named by gourmands.
Keybyymew = Saltkit, Spicekit, Seasoningkit, Rubkit This is a very ThunderClan sort of name. They traditionally used a lot of keybyy in their recipes, as it's very important for a good marinade and making ham. Though, it wouldn't be too surprising to see it used in WindClan too.
Rraashmew = Saltkit, Brinekit Raw salt. Made from boiling ocean water during large expeditions to the sea called a "Salt Patrol." Used as a medicine AND as a spice, important in controlling parasite infestations, fighting infection, and preserving food. Could just be referring to an off-white colored pelt, food, or even strength in battle for its association with treating wounds.
#Clanmew#BTW I decided to publish this one today just for fun. I'm quiet because I'm answering a bunch of the asks I got on Clanmew Day.#A lot of them seem to be flavor-related so I'm also considering just making a whole Clan Culture pack for ''muzzlesense''#Because I actually have a lot to talk about#Like HOW tracking works and the BEHAVIORS of a good tracker#I think it'll work as more than just a clanmew entry but also as a decent guide for how to 'think' like you have muzzlesense#And ergo how to effectively write a character interacting with the world who has it#Especially helpful for blind and/or deaf cats#btw person who asked me about how to adapt a blind riverclan cat I am thinking of you specifically#Because I got the ask and thought about it and realized that like#I kinda have to start from an earlier point than your ask#Because FIRST it's important to understand how MOST Clans work with muzzlesense#and THEN talk about how living in and around water affects a sense humans don't really have (not in the same way)#Aaaaand a bunch of other asks I got make me realize where I SHOULD start#But only AFTER starting at Step 1 and Step 2 can we get to Step 3; A blind RiverClan cat

the midnight heir lines that make you go "hey so what the hell was the last hours originally supposed to be like"
#someone hack cc's laptop and leak the original outline i simply cannot take it any longer#do i truly believe this hypothetical tlh would have been significantly better no of course not#changes made to this story were made for a reason. like the fact that she decided that changing james' personality was the best choice#even though there was already published content about him speaks volumes#but i will never not be curious about what tlh was going to look like originally. this is truly my roman empire#vic reads tbc#the midnight heir

Alrighty friendos, I still can’t decide, so what would y’all like to see next (keeping in mind both are pre-relationship Mareach): a fluffy piece with snowball fights and chats by the fireplace, or some hurt/comfort with heavy emphasis on hurt? Hefty doses of mutual pining will be a guarantee for both!
#the h/c will have mildly graphic violence but nothing whumpy because I have no taste and don’t like whump at all 😅#and the wintry one will likely be the longer of the two#they’ll both be written and published anyway! just can’t decide which to focus on first
