hello! just wanted to provide everyone with a quick update — due to the projected length of chapter 10, we will also be splitting it into two separate parts the way we did with chapter 9. we also have an estimated upload date of may 10th!

thank you everyone for your understanding and giving us time to work on these updates! 🤍

I know some people gonna hate me for this but

✨unpopular opinion time✨

leave if you worship the barbie movies cause I’m about to say some sh-t about one

the princess and the pauper is bad

even stories inspired by it are bad

and I don’t mean in the story or movie is bad

I mean the trope

the trope is god awful

because we have two individuals right

one is poor and hardworking and tries their best to live their life even when it’s hard

the other is a princess/prince that does nothing but read books dance in their castle and sing about how hard their life is and maybe goof around sometimes

like I don’t doubt being royalty is hard because I’m sure it is

but they never show it like they have them say they just wanna be a normal person and have just one day to be

but you never show why!

so how can I sympathize with this seemingly whiny person who looks like they’re complaining about being privileged

this is where the saying show don’t tell would be great

show how much they struggles with their royal duties

show how miserable they are not being able to be themselves

show how exhausted and stressed they are being royalty

then maybe I’ll sympathize with them

but no instead we get this whiny person who complains about not being like the standard royalty

and then we have the pauper

this poor person who’s just trying to get by

who probably barely has enough money to treat themselves to anything

who works day in and day out for barely enough

who struggles probably everyday

and yet still has a smile on their face

and then this weirdo comes around like we’re kinda similar aren’t we…..let’s trade🤪

like that is the weirdest conversation to ever have

like I don’t blame the pauper for wanting to be royalty if I was poor person I’d take that opportunity too

do you know how much power and privileges theyd get by faking being the princess/prince

like it’s genius

and the princess……who just ruins their whole life cause they don’t know what the f-ck they’re doing because oh yea THEYRE A ROYAL PERSON WHO HAS NEVER HAD TO WORK IN THEIR ENTIRE LIFE

but when your older you realize how selfish and childish the royal is for giving away something that people fight and wish to have and you realize how desperate the pauper must be to accept an offer like that so easily and how easily they could be killed/locked up if found out

idk I think I just hate this trope cause it doesn’t make any sense

feel free to argue with me if ya want

i’m too busy with work and when i’m not busy with work i’m busy with bg3 and my both gifset ideas are just sitting in the back of my mind. festering.

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.

First off, spin this wheel.

You just landed on one of 200 fandoms that have been very popular somewhere on Tumblr over the years. Topics were chosen either from appearing on a @fandom end-of-year recap or from my own long (long, long) site memories before that.

also all of these fandoms are definitely things that really exist in the real world and none of them are Tumblr creations

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

a man self immolated in front of the israeli embassy in washington dc yesterday. not just any man. an active member of the us air force. he live streamed his death, and said that he refused to be complicit in a genocide any longer. he said that compared to what palestinians were facing every day, setting himself alight was nothing.

let me reiterate. an active duty air force member burned himself alive because he was so disgusted by what the us government was openly supporting. he live-streamed his own suicide, so the whole world could bear witness as a man in his military uniform set himself on fire to protest his government’s complicity in the horrors that we have all been forced to watch happen in real time. he became a new horror. footage of the immolation blurs him out the moment the fire catches, but you can hear him. it is over in seconds, really, but you can hear him screaming. he shouts “free palestine” until his body physically cannot make any sounds other than guttural screams of agony. and then he falls silent. a police officer arrives and points a gun at his still burning body, shouting at him to get down on the ground. and it is over.

his name was Aaron Bushnell. he was twenty five years old. and he isn’t here anymore because the political ruling class has decided that genocide is perfectly fine as long as it preserves imperialism. in the coming days, people will try to discredit him. to say that he was mentally unstable. they will try to bury his actions to save face and defend israel’s propaganda. do not let them. aaron knew what he was doing. he knew what he was doing when he put on his military uniform, set up his twitch stream, and made his final walk up to the embassy. he knew what would happen to him when he flicked that lighter. do not let them forget. aaron’s blood is on the hands of the political ruling class.

i come from the universe where everything is the same except disney heroines get like an ounce of their fathers' obviously dominant genes and their clothes are like 80% more historically accurate. it's beautiful here.

watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back

it is legit bizarre to me how hard video game creators and film directors and showrunners try to pretend that fat people don't exist. can you think of the last time you saw a fat person in a lead role? god forbid a fat woman? i can walk down the street or go into a shop or restaurant and see fat people everywhere but then i switch on the tv and suddenly it's like a glimpse into an alternate universe where no one has a bmi over 24. insidious and weird

Really says something about the dire state of offerings for men interested in sewing their own clothes that even searching things like "interesting men's clothing patterns" brings up articles with links to four or five whole websites that primarily offer admittedly nice but practically identical patterns for making button-ups and work pants and maybe a varsity/bomber jacket if you're lucky.

(Branching out into historical costuming for everyday wear is like your one shot at variation, and even then, the ratio of men's to women's patterns on every website is frustrating to say the least.)

Patternmakers as a trans man I am begging you. Give me a little more to work with here.
