i wanna do doodles with this but Bidwell being from Boston and Reddy being from New York City. Hale cannot tell the difference between their accents (especially since Bidwell really suppresses it) but Bidwell and Reddy can because Bostonites and New Yorkers are enemies until the end of time (Bidwell and Reddy are friends and business partners though)

Complete Bastards Week!
Tumblr media
Thank you to whoever was the last to vote yesterday - you fixed the ties! I can now reveal our seven NSFW and SFW prompts:
NSFW ~
Loss of virginity
Obsession/Voyeurism
Cross dressing
Wet dreams
Edging/Orgasm denial
Exhibitionism/Public sex
Touch starved
SFW ~
Childhood/Nostalgia
Falling piano/Cartoon violence
Drunk
Gender roles
Daddy/Mummy issues
First date
30 years later
Bonus prompts (for switching with one if it really doesn't appeal to you) ~
NSFW - Hurt/Comfort
SFW - Transformation
I can also reveal that the most popular prompts of each list were cross dressing, with 15 votes (to the shock of no one 😂), and drunk, with 12 votes.
So, what do we do next? Well, we need to agree on a week that will actually be Complete Bastards Week, like, officially. It shouldn't be too far away, but not too close either - we need to give people a hot second to actually create for this! Let me know if you guys want it to be before or after Christmas. I know the next few months are typically a busy time, so maybe this could be something to brighten up gloomy January? Let me know what you're thinking!
Some simple guidelines:
*Each day will be represented by a single prompt (one from each list in this case), but it doesn't really matter if you don't end up posting what you make to its allotted day. Posting at all is what counts!
*You don't have to commit to doing all seven if you're too busy or not all of them appeal to you.
*You can fill out all NSFW prompts, all SFW prompts, or a mix of both!
*Try to tag anything you post #complete bastards week so I can reblog it to a blog for curating this event (@completebastardsweek). Tagging the blog when you post would be a good idea too - especially if you make something NSFW, as Tumblr keeps hiding NSFW stuff from the tags. Of course, I'll mostly check the tags the week of the actual event, but I'll be keeping a cursory eye on things before and after, in case we have any early birds/latecomers.
*It goes without saying, but feel free to post whatever you make elsewhere too!
*You can make work for any of the shows/films featuring our favourite bastards. Feel free to stage crossovers too, if that's your thing! All ships (including X Reader and OCs) are welcome, as are no ships at all. Go mad!
I'll make another post with a fancypants graphic assigning the prompts to the days of the week once we've settled on a week. Thank you once again to everyone who voted! I hope some of the prompts you picked won and ideas are coming to you. 😊

hey swansea i’m dating @/intern-daisuke
have fun warping your head around that!
[does finger guns!]
- @the-ghost-of-the-tulpar
Who the fuck. Who the hell said that. Who—
My intern is dating a ghost?
And he didn’t even tell ME?!?
[It’s impossible to tell which factor of the situation he’s actually angry about, the ghost or the date or the fact that Daisuke never told him himself—he’s so bewildered that he actually forgets to be angry at all for a few seconds, just muttering incoherent nonsense under his breath.]
My useless intern has a DEAD BOYFRIEND?????

FAMILY TITLES AMONG THE HILL TRIBES
(ft. various linguistic notes and tangents)
In-universe Brakul’s self-given title of ‘Red-Dog’ is Brakul 'ne-Dainh' in his native language (Bict-Urbinnas dialect of the Highland language group) and Brakul 'Chin-Reyla' in Wardi. Ne-Dainh/Chin-Reyla is not something he treats as or considers an actual surname or identity, just a self-styled nickname. He already has a title.
Family names/surnames are not a native practice among the Hill Tribes (though some clans or individual families have adopted this practice), and all traditionally use titles that designate immediate ancestry, clan and tribe. These full titles are officially given when one comes of age and are spoken aloud in ceremony (with the entire direct male and female lines listed by name, with most traditions expecting 12 generations of each being named).
The function is to cement one’s sense of place in the world, and their place in a direct ancestral line, which puts the person under the full watch and guidance of their ancestors. It's also a critical method of recording lineage- the long held practice of each person memorizing at least 24 total direct ancestors allows for very long, largely accurate records of family history to be kept, with some people able to trace their ancestry all the way back to initial settlement of the Highlands (or even beyond).
Brakul’s full title is:
“Brakul virsum Kuligan et Borunil an Briyonis ne-Taig an Bict-Urbinnas”
Which dead literally translates to “Brakul son of Kuligan and Borunil of the Foothills (of) Red-Cattle, of the North (Urbin/Erubin) River Valley” but has a much richer meaning in the original language.
"BRAKUL VIRSUM KULIGAN ET BORUNIL"
The actual meaning here is closer to ‘Brakul, son of Kuligan and his father’s fathers, and Borunil and her mother’s mothers’.
“Virsum” means ‘child (son/daughter) of’ (the gender is contextual), but implies the person’s status as a descendant of a full male and female line of ancestors. A different word is used if you’re just saying ‘I’m so and so’s son”. The title describes him as a son of his father Kuligan and of Kuligan’s male line, and of his mother Borunil and Borunil's female line.
All ancestors (within this particular system of kinship, divided into one direct male line from the father and one direct female line from the mother, and not including husbands from the female line or wives from the male line) are invoked and credited with the word ‘virsum’. Speaking it as part of the personal title is part of the routine and necessary honoring of one’s ancestors, who watch over their descendants from the afterlife and can temporarily return to the land to guide and protect (and sometimes punish, or teach sharp lessons to) the living.
"AN BRIYONIS NE-TAIG"
The actual meaning here would be understood as ‘clan/people of the foothills where cattle are lit red by the setting sun'.
‘Briyonis’ is the word for ‘foothill’, citing his clan’s specific location being the foothills that form the slopes of the north Urbin river valley. He is of a lesser clan within the powerful North Urbin River tribe. His clan benefits from close affiliation to their more powerful ruling clans located directly in the river valley, which grants them access to a greater variety of cultivated foods, but their actual position in the foothills still renders them predominantly reliant on cattle for subsistence. Clan names referencing cattle or horses are very common, given their frequent centrality to life.
The ‘ne-Taig’ literally means ‘red cattle’, but the ‘ne’ color word for red specifically invokes shades of red seen in and cast by a rising/setting sun. This red cast is culturally regarded as a unique beauty and evocative (and part of the name) of the solar god Hraighne. The foothills his clan is physically located on are a vantage point from which the western horizon is not fully obscured by mountains, and they experience very striking sunsets and are directly touched by the light. This is fairly unique to this location, and is invoked in the clan name and identity. ‘Ne-Taig’ here suggests a visual of grazing cattle illuminated red by the sun as it crosses the horizon.
‘Ne-Dainh’ carries the same implication, a dog illuminated red by setting sunlight. The Wardi language does not have a comparable word for a sunlit red and ‘Chin-Reyla’ really does just mean ‘(orangeish) red dog’ (‘reyla’ is specific to orangey-red colors, which is the closest match he could get. There’s no way to impart the meaning of ‘sunlit-red dog’ in Wardi that is non-clunky enough to be appropriate for a name).
"AN BICT-URBINNAS"
‘an Bict-Urbinnas’ is fairly simple, Bict means ‘north’, and 'Urbin' is the name of the specific river that stems from a northern and eastern tributary. This river has a very ancient name (or a derivative of one) that predates settlement by the Hill Tribes, and its exact meaning is lost.
The root -(n)nas designates a river valley, but has strong implications of being an esteemed and bountiful place, rather than solely a literal geographical descriptor (as the river valleys are centers of power and trade in the highlands). It may be a loanword from the Wardi language family, as its usage is VERY similar in form and function to the Wardi -(n)nos, which also suggests a place of esteem and bounty (more specifically having connotations of a kingdom).
’An’ literally means ‘of’, but in the specific sense of describing the place and identity of a collection of people. ‘an Bict Urbinnas’ would be understood in speech as ‘of the north Urbin River Valley (people)’. The clans historically settled in and around the valley of the North Urbin River form the totality of the Bict-Urbinnas tribe.
The ‘Urbin’ word predates the contemporary Wardi name ‘Erubin’ for the river, the latter of which invokes the semi-mythological founding figure Erub, who himself was of a Wardi tribe located downriver to the south of the Highlands. The real historically extant ‘Erub’ was most likely named Urub after the river, with his cited name shifting over the centuries in folklore, and the Wardi name for the river shifting with it.
‘Erubin’ as a corruption of ‘Urbin’ functions very well in Wardi language due to ‘-bi/bin’ denoting something as a ‘gift’, usually in a more metaphorical sense. ‘Erubin’ is understood as meaning ‘(The river that is) Erub’s gift’, and the Erubin/Urbin river is a key tributary to the much larger Black river, one of the key rivers that feeds the region's wetter and more fertile west. This 'gift' meaning also occurs in the name of the southeastern Imperial Wardi city-state Erubinnos, which is understood as meaning ’((The kingdom that is) Erub’s gift’. He is considered to have conquered and taken the land (from the core city's actual founders, the Wogan people) and established a kingdom there in the early days of warring Wardi tribal monarchies.
#Just dropping this randomly because it's a pretty complete lore dump in my notes app#Family names are a big fucking deal in the Wardi cultural sphere and not having one is associated with being a bastard or otherwise#displaced or unwanted. If pressed Brakul either fully lies and says 'ne-Dainh' (which will just come off as 'oh it's some foreign name')#Or lists his actual title (not a family name but equally important). Sometimes listing all 24 generations if he's particularly annoyed.#It's only strictly necessary to memorize 12 ancestors in each line but it's considered good practice to be able#to cite associated non-direct ancestor husbands/wives/siblings/etc. That's where the tattoos as a mnemonic device comes in#It's easy to memorize 24 ancestors but very difficult to memorize 24 ancestors and at least some of their family members#And remembering and honoring the dead by name is of great importance- both puts you under the protection of more#ancestors (including non-direct ones) and ensures the dead's status in the afterlife is secure (it's believed that fully forgotten#dead leave the celestial fields and can no longer directly intercede with the living- though with some additional nuances to what#constitutes being fully forgotten)#Venerating and remembering the dead is a huge focus of cultural practice and additional methods are used to safeguard#ancestors (and other honored dead without descendants) whose names have been forgotten. There's one yearly holiday focused entirely on#the nameless dead where they are invoked and honored via little straw dolls that are burnt in bonfires high in the mountains so the#smoke is sent up to the Fields. It takes weeks of preparation and tens (maybe hundreds idk I'm bad with scale) of thousands of#dolls will be made each year across the Highlands for this purpose. Honoring them with effigy even without name is usually#considered enough to safeguard their afterlife for at least another year.#Also yeah kinship systems among the Hill Tribes (and very similarly among the Finns) follow a male line/female line system#Only father's father's fathers (...) and mother's mother's mothers (...) are considered direct ancestors (though all four grandparents#are sometimes honored as ancestors even if only two are considered DIRECT ancestral kin- this tradition varies)#Inheritance systems are somewhat matrilineal given that a wife is considered the owner and arbiter of property and a husband is#its protector and active manager. If a man and woman from different clans (or tribes) marry any children will be considered to be of#the clan/tribe of whichever spouse does NOT relocate in marriage.#Whether the husband moves in with the wife or the wife moves in with the husband is dependent on an arbitration process#and the husband (and his family) being able to provide a bride price (which is somewhat of a payment for the land/property#the wife's mother will be passing down to the new husband's management should he move in- and displays his ability to care#for and provide valued assets. A man who can provide a bride price tends to receive greater respect)#This is most commonly going to be livestock (and almost ubiquitously includes a single cattle to be butchered for the wedding feast)#But can include other valuables or assets like land or grain/seeds or etc. There is no intra-Highlands monetary system and the internal#economy is built on trade. So Imperial Wardi currency is mostly useless but is sometimes given in marriages between clans with strong

Okay...okay...so...sososo...you know how Twitter finally made good on revoking all the verified accounts from people who weren't paying the $8/mo asshole tax?
NO!
NO, THEY DIDN'T!
There's no way to automatically remove the verified flag on all the accounts, they would have to have gone account-by-account to remove them individually.
So instead...THEY JUST HID THE CHECKMARK ICON!!
You can still see if an account is legacy verified by putting in the search filter:
filter:verified from:@namehere
Anyone with a legitimate verified account you search for will show up. Anyone with a this-mfer-paid-for-Twitter account won't.

TAG DROP 001.
[ ooc. ] one. one thousand. two. one thousand. three. and now my patience is up.
[ ic. ] chase the right bastard through the wrong ritual it'll knock you right out. of course. you might wake up with a new accessory.
[ answered: ooc. ] it is better to ask a question than to sit on your hands and let it fester.
[ answered: ic. ] most papers don't say much but read between the lines you pickup a thing or two.
[ psa. ] hear ye! hear ye! use that thing on the inside of your head or be doomed!
[ saved. ] i'm like a dragon with the things I like. I'll horde them forever.
[ prompts / memes. ] im not picky. i got a cup and it does the job. that's all I ask.
[ reflections ] I'm fighting rook. sometimes it feels like the city itself stabs me in the back.
[ introspection ] its not what keeps me up at night. its not the quiet. I never could sleep once work gets in my head.
[ crack. ] sing your praises and you still want something! I'll find you a treat if you don't tell davrin. have we got a deal?
[ salt. ] that's the worst-case scenario. but all too often; the most pessimistic speculation turns out to be the closest to the truth.
[ birthday. ] it's my hatch day! Im allowed to be happy and irresponsible.
[ self promotion. ] apparently I could something clever here but I am too lazy for that.
[ promotion. ] I like this blog. I think it's neat. it deserve attention. everyone! look here!

It's Prompt Selection Time!
I've added everything that was submitted to the first form, though when two prompts were similar I've amalgamated them into one. Please share this around, scumbags! We'll need a lot more people to answer this one to get any kind of coherent results (and if we don't... we'll cross that bridge later 😂).
This form is anonymous too, so have no fear. Now: vote!

Honestly, I should've seen that coming.
Anyways, RAREBLIN!!! A BELOVED ADDITION TO THE COLLECTION.
It's gonna take me a little bit to adjust to Rare Whajje's design and be able to state my opinion on it, but I think I like it.
