(Unseen Academicals, Terry Pratchett) I think Shang Qinghua and Ponder Stibbons should have tea and compare notes about somehow accumulating so much behind-the-scenes power by doing menial jobs no one else wants that they could basically run the show if they wanted...

meanwhile we have Shen "meh good enough" Qingqiu

Talking about the Princesses of the Seven Circles!

I don't know if the demon princes realize this but they're going to build an army against themselves with their spouses. Like do they realize the absolute hell Emilia, Camilla, and Adriana are going to cause for them? Those three are going to hang out. And it's going to mean bad things for their husbands. But you know what they're probably into it.

I love the variation between Kerri's female MC's. Yes they're all sassy and stubborn but there's subtle differences in interests and preferences and personality. Woah, it's like she writes women like they're real people 😱

I also love how Emilia is all like "so maybe the time for talking is over~" and Camilla is all "you wanna touch me, don't you?" And Adriana is just like "either you're lost in thought or constipated" and "mmm steaming innards" and not even in the hot way. Like I'm obsessed with it.

I also love how each of them have at one point been like, "you just sassed my love interest to his face. I love you"

I also love how they don't all have to kick ass in battle to be strong. Like Emilia can tear you apart in terrifying ways in seconds, Camilla has cool powers that she's still kind of figuring out, and Adriana will just roast the fuck out of you and pour ice down your shirt for the burn. But if she's faced with a dragon she's got nothin, which is realistic! Not every female mc has to be physically unstoppable to be cool and "correct" and she does it so well!! I love all these women and I can't wait for them to cause chaos.

(also please more Val and her witch girlfriend please thank youuu)

Gluttony x the reporter

Kingdom of the Cursed

Whatever levity Gluttony had been feeling was gone in an instant, replaced by an icy glare. I followed the direction of his gaze, surprised to find the object of his loathing was a beautiful, prim noblewoman. Her pale blue hair was coiffed in the style of proper English ladies and her elegant dress buttoned up to her neck. She wore kidskin gloves that ended past her elbows and an expression of revulsion as she spied the host, her gaze cutting from across the room. She leaned next to her companion and whispered something that sent the other noblewoman tittering.

"If you'll excuse me." Gluttony's mood darkened further. "There's a party crasher in our midst." Without uttering another word, Gluttony strode off toward the giggling ladies.

"She's a journalist from the Shifting Isles. And she rarely has anything flattering to say about the royals in this realm. She's been particularly vicious with Gluttony." [...] She called his last gathering 'perfectly ordinary and utterly contrived. A predictable, uninspired evening.' " [...] My brother quoted it so often, it stuck. Gluttony was furious. He has since thrown the most lavish, over-the-top, debauched parties he can." "He wants her to eat her words." "Amongst other things, no doubt." I couldn't help but smile. "Hate is a powerful aphrodisiac for some."

Kingdom of the Feared

"Prince Gluttony is correct about one thing-his feast will make guests wish he'd end them all." Gluttony's easygoing smile vanished. "My dear, if my parties had the ability to kill, I'd personally deliver your invite." "That was as clever as your idea to lace wine with slumber root, promptly knocking all your guests out. At least that time it wasn't sheer boredom that put them to sleep." She gave him a cutting smile before dropping into a curtsy.

"Trust me, demons are not just asking about the curse's return. They live in fear some superior reporter with a penchant for snobbery will ruin their good time." Gluttony shooed her away, promptly earning a fierce glare.

Gluttony robbed his hands together, a devious expression falling into place. "You know? That viper gave me a great idea I think I'll offer her a glass of wine laced with slumber root and kick her and her assistant out. Then we'll see who thinks I'm unclever. At least we won't have to worry about your coronation party hitting the gossip columns."

He glanced around a crowded room, pausing on where Gluttony and the columnist stood a foot apart, not speaking.

Throne of the Fallen

Gluttony at the very least ought to know better-he was currently involved in a war with his own reporter in the Seven Circles.

Gluttony's reporter printed this just today.

Before this article was submitted to print, the ever-lacking Prince Gluttony was questioned about a guest he'd hosted the previous night, but he refuse to comment or confirm any part in the game. [...] Gluttony remained mum, hinting only that it was likely a lover sneaking out after overindulging in sin. [...] That the prince would attempt to play coy and fail spectacularly is unsurprising. Gluttony is the least clever of his brothers.

The reporter he was feuding with hadn't responded to the invitation Envy had sent, and he was sure Gluttony's foul mood had nothing to do with that.

Hey do you know that now as king of melini laios can have FIVE BILLION DOGS

[firestorm09890]

put my fuckin guy in the combination persona 4 dungeon twewy plot dnd roleplay thing and it's awesome. mandatory persona 4 glasses made him pull his hair out of his face and it is regrettably very cute. he's trying so hard to keep the party from going off the rails. he's on the verge of sensory meltdown himself. he's a genius whose input is valuable. he's projecting and probably shouldn’t be here. he's so cool. he's visibly uncomfortable being around everyone else. he cast the level 3 spell Fear on a Shark Noise. yeah the one from week 1 day 4 that killed Rhyme. it didn't kill Rhyme this time, heh [puts on my sunglasses

"Who is Sora's father?"

I feel like the answer to that is fairly obvious. 👀

The fact that this opens with the Prince & then the Princess — A DOUBLE EPILOGUE FOR MY SHIP — Sarah, are you trying to kill me?

[pergaminaa]

Does anyone think of Asterin taking out the Blackbeak Matron to both avenge her witchling and free Manon of her control?

She's been around for over a century and seen how the woman manipulated and abused her cousin while she couldn't do anything about it, but by killing her she is truly setting Manon free.

"Live, Manon. Live" is not only about the war and uniting the witches, but it will be the first time Manon is truly free to be herself and literally just living instead of being a tool for her grandmother.

She was ready to sacrifice herself to set Manon free from her grandmother. Asterin knows her and knows she isn’t a heartless person. That was just their grandmother controlling Manon. So Asterin wanted this to be Manon’s freedom. Freedom not only to exist but to live and be her own person without that crone’s influence.

Thinking about the Administration Realm Reassignment department, and how short the line was in Episode 17.

So we know that they encountered people and reassigned them.

And based on the timeline of the majority of the ninja popping up, they got reassigned very soon after the Merge, right after each other, probably along with a ton of other people.

Of course, in cases (maybe like Zane's) some people got assigned later during the Merge.

And based on Episode 17, they are still finding people that need Reassignment.

But based on how the line only had 4 people (2 batches), the finding of these pockets & people are slowing down, because there aren't all that many left.

But of course there are still some.

(Also, I want to note that there have been at least 3 occurances where the people in these pockets are in pairs. 1 & 2 being the Cloud Kingdom monks and the two skeleton guys (possibly from the Cursed Realm) and the third being Arin's parents)

A Queen This Fierce And Deadly Spoilers!

No really, it's a big one, below the cut. Okay, more of a theory than a spoiler, but, STILL. And, yes, I know the book came out yesterday and everything, and yes I'm mad at myself for finishing it already, but what's a girl to do 😭

I think Calysian is PRISCA AND DEMOS' OLDER BROTHER!

Why?

Because when Zathrian and Prisca are having their death match/duel thing, Zathrian says something about Prisca's mother getting pregnant that makes Prisca wonder if she had another older sibling.

And then, the big one... in the epilogue, when Madinia is getting on the pirate ship, Prisca freezes time but Calysian escapes and the only people she can't freeze time for ARE PEOPLE RELATED BY BLOOD AS ESTABLISHED IN THE FIRST BOOK 😱

So. Yeah. That's my theory. And my second theory? We're getting more kingdom of lies books! Or at least, one more. I'm thinking from Madinia's POV, mostly. I'M HOPING ANYWAY 😭 lmk what you think if you've finished!
