pls explain the Gravity Falls+PnF au to me. I'm guessing PnF are heading to Gravity Falls, but from there I'm not really sure what'd happen. you're au's usually have a plot and I genuinely have no idea how'd you plot this

Yay! I can talk about the AU!

This is only the bare-bones of it, because I'm still working out technical bumps, but it's basically a substitution AU, where the PnF characters would be taking on the roles and plots from Gravity Falls. I can give a run down on who'll be doing what:

Phineas, Ferb and Candace will share the Dipper and Mabel roles between them, with traits, events and roles split between the three. Their premise is also the same--siblings, sent to stay with a great-uncle in Gravity Falls.

Buford and Baljeet will gain 40+ years of age and take on the Stan and Ford roles respectively, although they would only be best friends, rather than twins--although I am seriously considering making them stepbrothers, for the sake of narrative parallels--Gravity Falls IS big on narrative parallels. (I haven't yet ironed all the bumps out, but I will. Oh yes, I will

Isabella won't take the place of any specific character, but rather, she'd play a similar role that Fiddleford plays in Relativity AU's--i.e. she'd be an extra friend/love interest kid character who hangs out nigh-constantly with the core siblings

Soos and Wendy will be consolidated into one character--the very chill, very helpful, very nice, and very Cool Teenager(TM) shack handyman, who is none other than Jeremy Johnson

Bill Cipher will still be Bill Cipher. This might surprise you.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz will be, surprisingly, in the Old Man McGucket role.

The Gideon role will naturally be taken by Little Suzy Johnson

Vanessa is the trickiest to explain in this AU. So she is Doof's daughter, but considering that he's gone Off His Rocker a little bit she's been taken in by her Uncle Roger (who is filling the Preston Northwest role), and spends a good portion of her story trying to avoid association with her father. She'll fill the Pacifica niche, although she won't be as mean, more just dismissive.

Stacy will be the Candy/Grenda figure.

Carl is Thompson. No notes.

Feel free to ask more, clarifying questions, should you wish to poke the hyperfixation bear

was reminded of the costumes from the phineas and ferb live show today. to say i'm utterly obsessed would be an understatement i need to sit down with the person who thought this was a good idea so so so so so so so bad

[ninjagecko72]

2 or 4 for the oc thing

I did both!

Somehow after all this time, I didn’t think to have Kammie and Isa interact. I had Frightclaw interact with Isa and I barely know that dragon character but somehow never Kammie.

I was going to do a sparkly dress because I thought Isabella would like it but I felt like it was too many sparkles. If she is to ever have a sparkly dress/outfit, it is definitely never with some AI disturbance overlay and it’ll never be in blue. However I do have one in red in my drafts, but of course this was still before Isa’s spots were figured out.

Anyways long story short, @ilovebeinaturtle / @knuxthefangirl owns Kammie and I have Isa in a dress in a color she won’t wear for a long time.

Yes the little toy is based off this cute little baby

[crazystarrpntalk]

Raptor: Isa , That was secret!!°blush°

Gim!Sans: Yes, but this body is mine °hug Jasar°

Jasar!Sketch: Amazing! Let me see! I bet No look cute with a skirt ^^

Isa: yeah but well everyone was going to find out sooner or later

No: °puts on his hood and hides under a table°

Roseray: ah °sneer° there is a lady who is ready to bet 1million for one night

°Wildx enter, yawns and gets into a fetal position in a Sofa°

[mpsansy]

Were any of the ladies: Elizabeth, Vivian, Isabella, and Aria, friends back in the past when the McFadden were alive? Would they be friends in the present?

In the past, I’d say so. Admittedly, Isabella was the awkward one of the bunch. A woman that only spoke about plants and sometimes desserts she'd read from cook books. But she quickly got less awkward and more comfortable with speaking to the girls as the interactions continued.

All three (Isa, Viv, and Aria) didn’t get a chance to talk to Elizabeth a whole lot, yet they were around her enough to see how full of life she was. And how she got Simon to being all soft & fatherly.

And on the matter of them being friends in the present? Of course! They’d have a lot to talk about too. Mostly Elizabeth, as she’s been missing forever. The girls all just assumed she’d passed on and away from this earthly plain. Certainly not the case, she was still around. Just incredibly lost and with no means of communicating for a long period of time.

It’s was definitely an experience. Not a good one though.

are there any books you'd recommend for Isabelle of Angouleme?

Hi! I’m really not an expert on Isabella of Angouleme so I'm probably not the best person to ask for recommendations for her. Here are some I've heard of, though I haven't read all of them:

"Isabella of Angouleme: John's Jezebel" by Nicholas Vincent (King John: New Interpretations). I haven't read it myself but I've heard good things!

“Maternal Abandonment and Surrogate Caregivers: Isabella of Angoulême and Her Children by King John” by Louise J. Wilkinson (Virtuous or Villainess? The Image of the Royal Mother from the Early Medieval to the Early Modern Era). It focuses more-so on Isabella's tenure as queen, the period shortly after John's death, and her decision to leave England. Despite what the title may imply, it's sympathetic to Isabella and analyzes her situation in detail.

“Co-Operation, Co-Rulership and Competition: Queenship in the Angevin Domains 1135-1230” by Gabrielle Storey, her PHD thesis which collectively focuses on Isabella of Angouleme along with Empress Matilda, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and Berengaria of Navarre. You can read/download it here, it's an excellent piece for all four women.

Sally Spong has written/is writing:

Isabella of Angouleme: The Vanished Queen (Norman to Early Plantagenet Consorts). You can see her conclusion here. It's nuanced and sympathetic, though not without its issues and pre-conceived notions.

Isabella of Gloucester and Isabella of Angouleme: Female Lordship, Queenship, Power, and Authority 1189-1220 (PHD thesis University of East Anglia).

“Isabelle d’Angouleme, By the Grace of God, Queen” by William Chester Jordan. You can read it online here, though I will say that it's ... very very questionable, accepting the sensational claims of lot of unreliable sources (including the idea of John abducting Isabella in a fit of uncontrollable infatuation) entirely at face-value.

“The Marriage and Coronation of Isabelle of Angouleme” by H.G. Richardson, available here on JSTOR.

Isabella has also been the subject of two complete French biographies till date:

"Isabelle d’Angoulême, reine d’Angleterre" (Aquitaine: 1998) by Sophie Fougere.

"Isabelle d’Angoulême, comtesse-reine et son temps (1186-1246)" [Actes du colloque tenu à Lusignan, 8 au 10 novembre 1996] by Gabriel Biancotto, Robert Favreau and Piotr Skubiszewski.

There are also a few blog posts about her (here and here) which may help if you want a brief overview of her life, though they can get a little sensationalistic sometimes.

Hope this helps! If anyone knows any others, please feel free to add on!

I've been listening to the prophecy & it's kinda giving me sizzy vibes. thoughts? 👀

the song in question

*sits down. stands up. sits down again* fuck you're so right... i was so focused on the percy jackson of it all that i didn't even notice the sizzy angst..

it's izzy. it's izzy after simon sacrifices his immortality and izzy after he returns and breaks up with her. cursed like eve got bitten. and is it punishment for letting her heart fall into someone else's hands? she can't lose hope even if she wanted to but she can't deny the pain and desperation of having him close but so far. she doesn't care who he his so long as he's simon. and could she ever move on? she sealed her fate up in that bottle she thought held him. what a fabled fool's move. and now something has to change. make her fall out of love or make him fall back in. she's too unstable to let it go on like this.

Cc my dear

Here.

ajdjdkskkd EXCUSE YOU.

I AM UNWELL.

Barbatos tongue piercing has ended me. I am dead. Deceased. I shall never recover. 💀

[sunnibits]

anyways so we’re all agreed that Izzy’s drag name is Isabella Hands right. Right.

[duketectivecomics]

Does Duke have any other known s.o. canadites besides Isabella Ortiz?

Canonically, no. Izzy is Duke’s only canon-confirmed girlfriend/love interest so far.

He gets into a fight at the opening of We Are Robin for flirting with another girl. And there’s an argument to be made that there may be subtext that Riko was jealous of Duke/Izzy, but that’s a meta for another time. I’m sure there’s at least SOMEONE out there who ships Duke with his other fellow Midtown Robins for one reason or another!

I BELIEVE that early in my Official™️ dc fandom days on tumblr (so circa 2018/19), I saw a few Claire Clover/Duke shippers (due to them sharing scenes in the opening arc of Batman Rebirth era??? I think??? It’s been a hot sec since I read that arc & esp since I would’ve seen those shipping posts). Altho ships have been built on much less tbh, for example-

Signal/Static seems to be gaining some traction, though I’m not sure if we’ve settled on a ship name for them that everyone agrees on.

Cant think of others off the top of my head that ppl ship, but usually as long as it isn’t batcest or smthn that would generally squick, I’ll usually rb it here 👍 Duke archive after all lol

I am eternally amazed at how sensitive the portuguese are at the subject of colonialism. The idea that we practised some sort of soft colonialism is so ingrained in our minds people will be fighting for their lives to defend this idea (which, btw, is still a remnant of Salazar's propaganda). Brazil's colonialism is such a hyper sensitive topic you can see the vein popping on the neck of the average Zé when someone even lightly mentions accountability. I dead ass remember my 7th grade teacher telling our class that Brazil's colonialism consisted of "jesuit priests playing music, which enticed the natives" and that was it (flutes too, to be precise, for some fucking reason) and everyone has just blindly believed this and refused to accept the actual horrible history we're a part of. Portuguese people will be fighting for their lives on technicalities. Say "The portuguese invented the slave trade" and Salvador over there will jump from under the table to explain that akshually african people were the ones to sell their own people as slaves!!! And askhually, slavery goes back for centuries!! You know what they mean, you know what needs to be discussed here, but my boy Salvador is on a mission. He doesn't even care that he's regurgitating fascist propaganda that was entirely built on ahistorical facts that specifically sought to promote colonialism and imperialism as a progressive idea, no, none of that matters. It matters that we are miserable people who will perpetually long for the past, look back on something utterly atrocious and willingly ignore the brutality of it, because we cannot come to terms with the fact that today we live in a country that's ripe with corruption, unlivable wages and high cost of living; we cannot come to terms with the fact that we did all this colonialism just to be a poor fucking country that's being exploited by digital nomads; in fact, we just cannot tolerate the idea that we're just a summer resort for americans and brits and have absolutely no economical relevance in the world, not even cultural, but hey, cultural meaning can be invented. So we look back, we wail and cry and look back at these centuries when we pillaged, enslaved and destroyed because at least we meant something, because we once divided the world in two with Spain, that's how big our balls were once, and because once people knew who we were, they our name beyond the one football player. We purposefully disregard the horrid shit. We coast through life without ever, ever acknowledging it ever existed. We're taught in school colonialism was soft core at best, tell some bullshit about some priests with flutes and be done with it, and then when someone finally confronts us for our history, on god, we'll be fighting with everything we have to prove to you that our colonialism was just fine, and we, white men of the 16th century, showed these countries the meaning of civilisation! Orgulhosamente sós, am i right bitches

Hi cerise has returned and

She found some flowers and she wants to share them

Thank you. Not much has been feeling colorful lately but I think Isa appreciates the thought.

[mttztrading]

Hi, do you know if isabella esler’s final performance with Beetlejuice was filmed by anyone? I believe it was in Mexico last month.

Yes, @aworldofdarkness filmed Isabella’s last performance as Lydia and it’s available for purchase!

(Minerva Confidential Report from the S1 Blu-ray)

Glad they ended up changing it to what it became because shit does this scene hit with the visuals set to Àlainn’s dulcet yet heartbreaking mournful vocals.
