I feel like if Miranda ever actually got Eva back this woman would be so overprotective and over react whenever Eva was sick. Like she'd always watch over her, ensuring she's safe and nothing is going to put her in danger. Plus if this child as much as sneezes, not even from cold, she'd immediately took actions and give her vitamins and some medicine to make sure she won't be sick because she'd be scared to lose her again.

And till Eva was like a teenager Miranda's overprotectiveness would get a pass but the moment Eva becomes a rebelling teen I think she'd easily get annoyed with how Miranda acts.

Also Miranda would probably want to ensure that Eva’s friends are safe to hang out, not to mention dating Eva would be a nightmare because I bet Miranda would rarely find her crushes worthy or she'd put high expectations. Like they better treat her precious girl right and not hurt her or she'll have their head.

I think that the moment Eva is starting to grow up their relationship could be really strained :(

Like, Miranda only wants what's best for Eva and I'm sure she'd only try and be a good mom for her but I'm afraid it'd go too far. This woman needs psychological help or her trauma would damage her relationship with Eva, I fear.

(( Honestly, Miranda's schooltime castle isn't a great place to trick-or-treat at... It's far, far away from everything else, at least an hour's drive from the dearest city and not in a proper neighborhood or anything, just in a pine forest, on a cliff, next to the sea. If you go up that lonely road, then you have to deal with the gates and the guards, which are ordinarily closed and will not let anyone past without permission from Miranda and/or Bellanda. And, even if you get there, it's a long walk through the castle grounds up to the front door, and an equally as long walk back.

But, hey! If your muse manages to do all of that (or wants to in the first place, which is a different criteria), then sure. You can trick or treat at Miranda's place.

What is the Coral Festival?

(( In short — some species of merfolk experience a spike in gregariousness, sociability, fertility/virility, and attraction around the high tide and full moon of either late October or early November. This typically happens with the more spread out species, guaranteeing that they begin to gather together into a single place in larger numbers, and thus helping to improve genetic diversity.

In short, it's basically a heat or estrous cycle. That's all you really need to know.

There's more, too, since these aren't mammals we're talking about, and merfolk experience it differently than you might be typically used to, but that's the gist of it.

Since this is merfolk, and they're a sapient species with their own history and culture, and they all experience this at the same time, they usually make an event of it. Hence, Coral Festival, since merfolk especially connect it to the time when the coral spawns as well. The full name is Habp'll pl'qe ane'jhe Oikahj, which is what Miranda tends to call it, though I default to Coral Festival and Coral Season ( and sometimes Coral Madness, when Miranda especially feels frustrated and wants to complain about her own body, though this is much less "official" ). Miranda actually has a pretty good time of it, having a larger party at her castle for the entire duration, inviting the local High Royals and some of their friends, since she has good reason not to want her fellow Low Royals to be involved. There's food, good company, music, beds, and just about everything you could need for a nocturnal orgy every night for a week.

Every so often I've had her bring along other muses as guests, either being invited or wanting to come themselves, though Miranda tends not to just bring it up on a whim to her friends. Least of all because she's usually pretty distracted, mentally, although she's more "be friendly and sociable and just really want to bond with her friends and be friends with everyone" than how your typical "heat" might be written. There's also the factor of how the entire celebration is in the underwater portions of her castle, and typically solely remains there, which means her land friends need to figure out some way to breathe water to join. However, it also presents some unique lore, and represents one of the few chances other muses have to talk to just normal merfolk, who aren't a part of the royal courts and at most have control of a town or two.

I'm really over all this weird hate Lin Manuel Miranda has started getting. Like, he's not perfect, some of his work is very phoned in just for a paycheck or part of a contract, and yeah he should be criticized for the times he's fumbled or worse about racism, but a lot of the criticism this website is throwing at him is just off the mark. Like, you absolutely cannot deny the impact he's had on theater, Pop Culture, recent music, etc.; Of course, people do try and minimize or flat out deny any impact he's had, and they flat out have to lie or misrepresent reality to do it. Hamilton, while obviously worthy of its criticism, definitively made an impact with race blind casting and emphasizing diversity; It's not fully his fault Disney remakes saw people liked race-blind casting once and decided all their remakes have it now regardless of the legitimate criticisms he got from it. Speaking of remakes, a lot of Tumblr people hating on him hard-core right now are specifically hating on him in relation to the Little Mermaid remake, and... I hate to defend it, but Tumblr should really understand by now that not everyone is hating on an admittedly bad remake for the same reason, and in this case a lot of them are hating on it for very obviously racist reasons, and yet because they share a hate for LMM, people just reblog without looking, and now tons of Leftist or Progressive Tumblrs are regularly reblogging Lite to big time racist/fascist Tumblrs. Like, come on, isn't this website the one where everyone was all smug about not falling for "obvious" Right Wing Pipelines? Look, they guy is earnest and imperfect, and I've never really cared about him before now, simply because I recognized the flagrantly stupid "He WaS nEvEr GoOd" takes and recognized the pipeline that was coming because of Little Mermaid. He's just a guy who made it big and kinda gets used a lot, and who works a lot because he likes music and really doesn't want to do anything that could mess up his dream projects; So he takes on some subpar projects for cash or because he's contractually obligated to, so many actors and artists do that, at least he still tries to make it fun. And, in regards to a lot of common criticism, he seems to genuinely be learning and actually trying to better himself and better showcase diversity and darker skinned characters in his work, he's trying which is a whole lot more than honestly most; He seemed to genuinely think the policies he supported for Puerto Rico would help but now he shows regret for supporting things that hurt it. Honestly, he's handling going from "hero of diverse storytelling and music who tries to help more diverse creativies" to "literally as bad as a fascist while also justifying people being racist towards him and calling it progressive" better than most would.

Alright fellas i scored a second date with the girl this Friday and we are going to watch the Hobbit at her place 🥺

[vir-adahlen]

first time around i didn’t even really clock how severely miranda blew up flint’s spot with the letterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr MIRANDA! aaaah “this utopian desire hinges on the question of what it means to love someone you do not always agree with. What does it mean to love unconditionally? What toll does it take, and who picks up the pieces?”

You are SO not invited to my Oscar party

Hollywood is like high school with money. It’s a funny old expression that at this point seems a little too easy, if not reductive.  Sure, there are a lot of mean girls and guys in the entertainment industry that like to punch their power and wealth right between the eyes of all those they deem below them.  That is to say, the rest of us.  And these types don’t necessarily all live in…

'Invitation to a Murder' Editor Kristi Shimek on Crafting a Successful Murder Mystery Film

For film editor Kristi Shimek, assembling a movie is a bit like working with a giant puzzle: you have to place all of the pieces perfectly. Each shot needs to help achieve the goal of the story, all of the sequences must flow seamlessly, and no detail can afford to be overlooked. Continue reading Untitled

Jin "Jiji" Enjoji relationship headcanons

warnings: fem!reader, spoilers beyond the Cursed House arc, OOC, tooth-rotting fluff.

Special thanks to @miaurieee for beta-reading this draft before I posted it :3 I am caught up with the Dandadan manga series up to Volume 10, which somehow I was able to acquire over the Christmas break by nothing short of a miracle given to how my local bookstore keeps running out of stock 😅 So if you don’t want to be spoiled, it’s probably not a good idea to venture any further.

For those who have chosen to stay, I hope you’ll enjoy these headcanons~!

Although he is a flirty and weird-ass drama queen by nature, Jiji is the sweetest guy that a girl would love to have as a boyfriend. Not only is he charismatic, funny, easygoing, he is also loyal. Once he knows he has found that special someone, he is in it for the long haul. And he knows that it’s you because…well, he’s got great instincts! :3

He would definitely walk you to and from school.

Do you want a drink from the school cafeteria? No problem! Just give him a few and he’ll be right back~! He might seem a little flighty, but Jiji has a really good memory. Remember how he knew Momo preferred Pompy even when it’s been years since he’s seen her? Yeah, he’ll have your likes and dislikes memorized in no time.

Dates with Jiji would be spontaneous; ranging between cozy and quiet, like window-shopping around the city and then grab something at the coffee shop, adrenaline-pumping like playing against each other at the local arcade to see who can win the most tickets or going on all the rides at the amusement park, it’s honestly the luck of the draw. But please don’t feel obligated to do everything in one day just to make him happy, okay? If you’re feeling tired and want to go home or if you’re hungry, he’ll totally understand.

Communication and honesty are important foundations in your relationship, so bottling everything up inside is not a good idea and might cause Jiji to second-guess himself or think he’s doing something wrong.

Now, in regard to the whole Evil Eye scenario: he will insist that you stay away from the Ayase residence until the exorcism is completed. He has a mountain yokai inside of his body, and it was his own fault for inviting him inside. The last thing he wants is something to happen to you and there was nothing he could do to stop it from happening. This would happen if you two started dating right after he transferred schools or continued dating until he left town for the city after his parents’ hospitalization.

Flash forward to Okarun making a deal with the Evil Eye and fighting the yokai on Tuesdays after school, with the cursed underwear being safely kept at Manjiro’s shrine. Once he knows that the Evil Eye will not break his promise, especially after accidentally transforming a few times at home, Jiji will feel a little more at ease being around you. Just don’t go around splashing anything cold on him, just in case. Room temperature is fine. His chi training is paying off, so in the unlikely event that it does happen, he can revert the transformation and go back to normal. He might be a little tired afterwards, though.

If you two weren’t already together prior to the Evil Eye situation, Jiji would definitely be falling head over heels for you as time passed. He would see you as someone who is amazing in their own way, even if you had some glaring flaws and were a bit of a weirdo too :3 Brownie points if the Evil Eye actually doesn’t call you a turd and is semi-well-behaved when he’s around you at school or in public.

Treat this eccentric dude right, and your relationship will definitely be one heck of a rollercoaster ride that will be full of firsts, maybe some scary things, but he’ll be by your side through it all.

[inky-duchess]

Fantasy Guide to Dukes and Duchesses

This new series will offer an indepth view of each noble title in the standard European hierarchy of noble titles. Here we will discuss what they are, their lands, their jobs and everything you need to know when writing them.

What is a Duke exactly?

A Dukedom is the highest rank in most noble hierarchies. The Duke rules a section of land within the Kingdom known as a Duchy, for example the Duke of Lancaster or can be a standalone title, Duke of Rothesay. A Dukedom is inherited through the family line, from father to so but the title is bestowed on the by the monarch. Monarchs can also give their children Dukedoms, and often do. For example the second son of the King of France would be the Duc d'Orleans.

Titles, Titles

The Duke is the highest ranking in the land. They are the first among the nobility, among the wealthiest, with the most prestige. A Duke is referred to as 'Your Grace'. If one is meeting a Duke in a social setting, nobles would call them Duke whilst underlyings would call them "Your Grace". A Duke would also hold subsidiary such as an Earldom or two, a Barony or three. But would go by Duke as it is the highest title. Fun fact, Carlos Fitz-James Stuart (pic above) has the most titles:

He is: Carlos Fitz-James Stuart, Duke of Alba, Grandee of Spain, Duke of Berwick, Grandee of Spain, Duke of Huéscar, Grandee of Spain, Duke of Liria and Jérica, Grandee of Spain, Count-Duke of Olivares, Grandee of Spain,Marquess of Carpio, Grandee of Spain, Marquess of La Algaba, Marquess of Barcarrota, Marquess of Castañeda, Marquess of Coria, Marquess of Eliche, Marquess of Mirallo, Marquess of la Mota, Marquess of Moya, Marquess of Osera, Marquess of San Leonardo, Marquess of Sarria, Marquess of Tarazona, Marquess of Valdunquillo, Marquess of Villanueva del Fresno, Marquess of Villanueva del Río, Count of Lemos, Grandee of Spain, Count of Lerín, Grandee of Spain, Constable of Navarre, Count of Miranda del Castañar, Grandee of Spain, Count of Monterrey, Grandee of Spain, Count of Osorno, Grandee of Spain, Count of Andrade, Count of Ayala, Count of Casarrubios del Monte, Count of Fuentes de Valdepero, Count of Fuentidueña, Count of Galve, Count of Elves, Count of Modica, Count of San Esteban de Gormaz, Count of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Count of Villalba, Viscount of la Calzada, Lord of Moguer.

The Family of the Duke

The wife of a Duke is a Duchess. If a Duke is married to a man, while there is no real world examples, I would personally say they would take one of those other subsidiary titles I mentioned above. Same thing with a ruling Duchess and her wife. However, a ruling Duchess's husband usually sticks with whatever title he came with. The heir of the Duke usually inherits their parent's next highest title, usually an Earldom. The other children are styled as Lord/Lady Firstname.

The Role of the Duke

As the Duke is leader of the Duchy, which is a large section of the kingdom. They are in control of this section, the highest power in law and order, politics and all things in that section with only the monarch above. They handle administration at the highest level, raising troops from their duchy for the crown in times of war, see the collection of taxes and sometimes they might even advise the monarch if they are offered a place of the monarch's council. They would also attend the monarch at their coronation.

Cribs

Dukes like a lot of nobility would have multiple houses, manors, estates etc. Their homes would be the grandest in the land and the social hubs for the Duchy and even the country. A Duke would sometimes live at court when invited but would also have the homes in the capital. This vast portfolio can become a source of income as the Duke can rent them out or a handy way to shelf relatives who depended on them.
