Pero si hay una canción del articulo de Barnes que podría entrar en nuestra fabulosa serie "nobelty", esa es sin duda "The Sames Lines" de The Trashmen. Recientemente hablábamos del gusto de Bob Dylan por las bandas de garaje y surf, y en concreto por el célebre "Surfin´ Bird" de la banda de ¿adivinan? Minneapolis, Minnesota.

"The Same Lines" es la más disparatada del lote. Diría que la admiración era mutua, si no fuera porque "The Same Lines" suena un poco a burla, a choteo con gallos vocales incluidos.

Barnes comenta: "Dos años después de “Surfin’ Bird”, los Trashmen se subieron a una nueva ola, a raíz del éxito en el Top 40 de su compañero de Minnesota. Esto es garage-rock puro, con una voz avinagrada de Zim vertida sobre riffs confusos que recuerdan a “Empty Heart” de los Stones".

(Important place)

No matter what plase you go to, nothing can feel as nostalgic as your own home, that holds so much memories in every corner, whether it is sad or happy. It makes you feel as though it is your safe haven. A place where you belong. That is why whenever I'm away, I am reminded of the song that goes,

'Take me home. Take me home where I belong.'

:tried on using parody as my nobelty lead for this one.

Hey, I saw your sfw headcanons for Lady Tremaine. I was wondering if you were open to writing some more, but say that someone flirted with you or does something to make her jealous. What would happen?

Again that's if you would like to write or like the idea

lady tremaine (cinderella 2015) x F!Reader

headcanons: How would Madonna Tremaine act when she gets jealous?

SFW; ANGST-ish (?)

word count: TBA

as we all know, Lady tremaine is a very possesive and jealous woman,so she'd get jealous extremely easily.

i feel like, if on one of the gambling nights she saw her lover getting talk to by the nobelty, she'd get extremely jealous to the point of excusing herself from the game (not caring about the game's rules) and going up to the two.

i feel like as someone with such a high ego and confidence, she'd not be scared/embarrassed to show that she "owns" her lover.

she'd put her hand on her lover's waist,shoulder,gently fix her hair, all while she's death staring the nobleman that dared to even think of talking to her lover

i also feel like,if she didn't have any chance to confront the man the same second she saw them (which i doubt), she'd have a mental beakdown from anger,hurt and jealousy.

she'd scream,try to keep calm but fail, breathe deeply to not do something that'd hurt herself (and her lover) even more

but also, i lowkey think she'd manipulate her lover into thinking she (lover) is the one in the wrong. how could she talk to that man when she has someone like Tremaine? she does no wrong,she's perfect. It's the lover's fault. foolish girl!

but also, her getting angry is a sight to behold: the vein on her neck is much more prominent,her red lipstick smudges from her rubbing her face,tremaine's beautiful blue eyes would be slightly moist from all of the emotions and her voice would be hoarse

plz don't make her jealous

unless you like her to show her possesive side

which i do, so i'd probably make her jealous on purpose

hope this was up to your expectations. Thank you for requesting, and I am sorry for making you wait so long ♡

They are trans and I will die on this hill

Desna (left), from The Legend of Korra

Look, that's seriously talk

Do you know what are bivitelin and univitelin twins?

Univiteline twins are the ones whose embryons are from the same origin

Biviteline are the ones whose embryons are unrelated, but happened to envolve and born at the same time

Biviteline twins often look very different, in what univiteline twins are identical

Obvsiously thought, they even have the same genes

Did you know uiviteline twins also are always the same sex

They are made of the same seed after all

See what I mean?

Eska and Desna as obviously univiteline

And they have different genders: Desna's a boy and Eska is female

I assume Desna is the trans one, since their designs, aside from being identical and giving us a vibe of nobelty and inaproachableness expected of the North Pole prince and princess, tend more to a feminine aesthetic

Also, Bolin thought they were both girls firs time they met lol

In a side note, Bryan Konietzo and Michael Dante Dimartino have a history of representing minorities, such as disabled characters

And brown/black people

As well, as they already have done queer characters (Asami and Korra), despiste the latter's representation abeing way more sutile

So it's natural to guess that the level of sutileness would be the same while approaching another queer character

Logical conclusion: Desna is super trans

Honestly I didn't expect that Protocol would answer why Jonah put his eyeballs inside stoner boy Elias

Like the only reason that has happened is that Bouchards are apparently some kind of nobelty or at least a somewhat important and rich family

Honestly it's a mystery that didn't need solving but hey neat that it's solved

question: how do you write royalty settings so accurately? like, the way you write the worldbuilding and different interactions in high society (in br) feels so realistic, as if you've actually had first hand experience.

Thank you for the compliment! This is one of the most fun, but also the most challenging things about writing BR. There isn't much of a guide on how exactly you can replicate that atmosphere and frankly I make mistakes all the time, because a big part of it is composed knowledge and ideas found in other media – mostly Webtoons. I read so many royalty and nobelty themed ones that some phrases, vocabulary and rules are ingrained in my mind. Plus searching household life and biography of known royals give you the general idea of how they function inside out.

A few Webtoons I really recommend for research purposes (and just enjoyable reading):

- Remarried Empress

- From A Knight To A Lady

- Like Wind on a Dry Branch

- Suitor Armor

- I'm the Queen In this Life

- The Tyrant Wants to be Good

- Your Throne

- Dear Nemesis

- Wished You Were Dead

- My In-Laws are Obsessed with me

- My Gently Raised Beast

- The First Night With The Duke

s!Ryan theory part 2/3 : I was tame, I was gentle 'til the circus life made me mean

TW : depression, self hate, psychological abuse, suic*de (if you’re uncomfortable with these topics, I advise you to go through it carefuly ❤️)

So ! I couldn't WAIT to finally talk about the origin story ! It was my main reference to interpret s!Ryan's past/backstory and current psychology. And I so deeply wanted to share it !

I'm not necessarely good when it come to playlists for a bunch reasons xD But to explain you a bit, the way I went with it was that I was paying attention to recurring themes/ideas from one song to another. And then tried to connect everything to each other, other hints etc (for the fyi, I went over it like 6 times, no exageration xD)

I think I figured out a good part of the story conveyed by this playlist. I won't get into all of it in this post tho, there is an important part of the story that I save for the last post.

Each time I'll try to show my point with exemples and everything. Keep in mind that this is just my theories tho, that nothing is sure because I could still be mistaken at some moments !

⚠️ Before everything ⚠️

This post will be a bit different as I'll get a lot into s!Ryan's psychology, her feelings and experiences. And you'll see that part of what s!Ryan went through is beyond the context of magic gods.

It echoes to real feelings, real life experiences, real life topics that I'll get into as well. So again, if you're unconfortable with this, I advise you to read through it carefully.

But this is something I'm really excited about, as it allow us to see how complex and real s!Ryan actually is.

"Family"

There are 2 songs specifically related to family, they're even at the begining of the playlist : “family jewels” and “family line”.

I’ve been wondering if s!Ryan's family could be from royalty. 

Firstly, it’s just a detail but, there is the head picture of the board. The "setting" seems to be in a kind of royal/aristocratic home.

And at one point, Ryan used a quote from the sleeping beauty. I'll give the context later, but here is the full quote :

 “In a far away land, long ago, lived a king and his fair queen. Many years had they longed for a child and finally their wish was granted. A daughter was born, and they called her Aurora. Yes, they named her after the dawn for she filled their lives with sunshine. ”

It is referring to the parents as the king and the queen, thus making s!Ryan a sort of princess ? And then obviously, there is the whole question of finding a way to tie everything in the context of the lore of the Shelter.

As often, a lot of possibilities. If there was a cult around the sun or some deities, maybe s!Ryan's family were important people in it ? Maybe there were gods ? Maybe they were from a high ranked species ? Maybe s!Ryan is a saint/prietress/angel from birth ? It's really intriguing.

I definitely think tho that s!Ryan grew up in a “prestigious” environment.

“I can't break the cycle, am I just a fool? [...] Pass it down from kid to kid, the chain will never end. 'Less I decide to go to it, will I see the end?” (Family jewels)

I think it could be an allusion of a sort of prestigious lineage. Family from nobelty have in heart to "maintain" statues and infuence through generations.

It also seems to refer to a sort of generational trauma, a cycle that they abide too but that "chained" the members. A way of living that no one questionned or broke ?

And that's where everything start in s!Ryan's story, from her family and the way they treated her.

And it was bad, she had it hard, the songs are pretty self explanatory for this :  

“Oh, all that I did to try to undo it. All of my pain and all your excuses. I was a kid but I wasn't clueless - someone who loves you wouldn't do this" "Might share a face and share a last name, but - We are not the same” (Family line) “Ooh, don't you find it strange?. Only thing we share is one last name” (Family jewels)

It seems that s!Ryan didn't have a lot in common with her family, that she didn't get along with them. But most of all, she was deeply hurt by them, by their actions.

For me s!Ryan's family was definitely toxic, maybe even psychologically abusive to her ?

“Typical of me to put us all to shame” “Oh, you think I'm unfit. Little did you know that I was cut for it. No glass slipper will ever fit” (Family line)

It seems with these lines that they were putting high expectations for her, that she was "unfit" to them.

“Scattered 'cross my family line. I'm so good at telling lies. That came from my mother's side” (Family line)

I also wanted to bring your attention on that, the idea of "lies", "fakeness" in general, being something her family teached her. I'll get more on that later.

“Family said that I decided to live a loveless life. Is it my fault we stay divided? 'Cause I got too much pride” (Family jewels) “I watch the fathers with their little girls. And wonder what I did to deserve this. How could you hurt a little kid? I can't forget, I can't forgive you 'cause now I'm scared that everyone I love will leave me” (Family line)

In these lyrics, there is the idea that the child is wondering if they're the problem in this situation ? If they've done something wrong, if it's their fault that things are the way they are ?

-> And that's sadly typical in this kind of situation.

Because family is supposed to be a safe place, the people who loves you and care for you unconditionnaly. But when your family is not this safe place, not caring, not loving, you start wondering if maybe you're the problem ? If there is something wrong with you that makes you undeserving of their love ? Underserving of love in general ?

That's the second idea, a direct consequence of that : s!Ryan's family, with the way they acted with her, made her feel like she was underserving of love.

It mess up really early on your self value, and your relationships with other people. All because the one persons who were supposed to be trustworthy, safe, make you feel valuable and loved, didn't.

I think that there is an important theme of "love" around s!Ryan, in the core of her character, especially about the way she's able or not to feel "love" for other people.

s!Ryan’s “lover(s)”

Again, going onto recurring theme, I think there is someone s!Ryan was in a relationship with at that time, maybe even “engaged” to. Maybe multiple people ?

Either way, a lot of the songs refer to romantic relationships that were toxic, where the partner was straight up bad.

There is also the possibility that s!Ryan was “pressured” by her family to get with them, even forcefully engaged. 

“They sent me away to find them a fortune. A chest filled with diamonds and gold” (Control)

(On another note, in a lot of songs there is mentions of "jewels", especially the fact that s!Ryan is compared to jewels. Maybe it echoes how she was considered ? A kind of "pretty object" ?)

“If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour. You sure make me do a whole lot of labour” (labour)

The song "labour" is really interesting, about the reality of heterosexual relationships for women. I was wondering from this line if s!Ryan saw this situation as something positive at first ? Someone who would "save her" ?

But then, a lot of the songs express how badly she was treated :

“I never trust a narcissist. But they love me [...] ‘Cause for every lie I tell them. They tell me three” (l did something bad) “I don't like your little games. Don't like your tilted stage. The role you made me play of the fool. No, I don't like you” “I don't like your kingdom keys. They once belonged to me. You asked me for a place to sleep. Locked me out and threw a feast (what?)” (Look what you made me do) “… You caged me and then you called me crazy” 'Cause you lured me. And you hurt me And you taught me" (Who's afraid of little old me ?) “Who do you think you are? Runnin' 'round leaving scars. Collecting your jar of hearts. Tearing love apart” (jar of heart) 

(And there is also the whole song “Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” that I recommend you to check out, it's really impactful.)

I think that the relationships she had made her feel worse, value herself even worse. The other person is described as a "narcissist". It seems like they were belittling her, gaslighting her, maybe even "toying" with her feelings ?

-> Again, it's often a recurring pattern : when your family set your self value so low, you tend to get with people that doesn't value you.

Before moving on the next point, just so you know, a lot of songs refer to another kind of relationship she had, and in this case, it was more complicated. But I'll leave this for the last post.

The sunshine

So, I said i'll go later on this hint and the quote from "the sleeping beauty", here we are :

I was able to find out that it was a quote from the sleeping beauty, I'll put it again :

"A daughter was born, and they called her Aurora. Yes, they named her after the dawn for she filled their lives with sunshine”.

Maybe it was how her family and social circle in general perceived her ? Or maybe, how they expected her to be ?

Then you have all the hints I’ve shown about the idea of s!Ryan being a saint, being “holy” even compared to the sun.

It may tie to the lore about deities, and she could be a "litteral" saint. But what's certain and important here for me is the idea of her "acting" like a saint.

A lot of the songs refers to a “past self” who was nice and clean.

“I wanna be an idle teen, I wish I hadn't been so clean” (teen idle) "Angel, " he calls me”, "You're so pure, " he says” (Fruits) “I was tame, I was gentle” (Who’s afraid of lil old me)

I think at one point, s!Ryan was acting like a saint, like a beacon of sunshine for people around her. She was making other people around her happy.

But she was not happy herself.

A lot of the song expressed how much s!Ryan was in a bad mental state at that time : low self esteem, tired, hating herself, feeling messed up on this inside, depressed, and even suicidal

“And I couldn't stand the person inside me. I turned all the mirrors around” "And I tried to hold these secrets inside me. My mind's like a deadly disease" “These voices won't leave me alone. Well, my heart is gold and my hands are cold” (Control) “Are you insane like me? Been in pain like me?” (Gasoline) “There's rotten things left in me. Injected by society. No one here but me to judge me” (VOID) “Feeling super, super, super suicidal” “The wasted years, the wasted youth. The pretty lies, the ugly truth” (Teen idle)

What that inspire me is the idea of someone acting perfect for people while sacrificing their own well being in the process.

"Angel, " he calls me. Does he know that I'm falling from a precipice that I tripped off long ago?” (fruits)"

I really find this line impactful, and really meaningful for "what's coming next". How the fact that her being described as an angel, as "pure" wasn't something positive. Because people loved her when she was feeling at her worse.

For me, there is this whole idea of people expecting you to act "perfect" all the time. They end up not loving the "real" you, rather a "perfect" version of you that benefit them. And they don't really care about how much you suffer from it.

Social pressure

This part will kinda regroup everything I said until now, and add more to it. It's about the whole environnement, what I call the "social pressure".

“Do you tear yourself apart to entertain like me? [...] Saying that you shouldn't waste your pretty face like me?”  “You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being. With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self-esteem, so you run on gasoline” (Gasoline) "The pretty lies, the ugly truth” (Teen idle)

There is a lot this idea of acting "fake" in front of people. And as I said earlier, about how her "family" is fake and that she gets it from them.

Maybe it would make sense, again, in the context of royalty and high-ranked people, where it's a constant game of appearances and you have to abide through arbitrary social standards.

But that's also accurate to society as a whole, about social conventions, about putting up a mask to "fit in" and being otracise if you don't.

“There's rotten things left in me. Injected by society. No one here but me to judge me” (VOID)

Then we come to social standard, sexism and gender roles. The way society consider women, the way they "pressure them" to act a certain way that devalue them. Through the songs, there is a criticism of this.

The idea of sexism, of s!Ryan's gender being the very cause of a lot of her problems, is really present :

“If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her. The emotional torture, from the head of your high table. She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate” "All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid. Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant.” (labour) “When he stole my virtue [...] That I was born a daughter and not a son. For if I'm going down” (fruits) "They're burning all the witches, even if you aren't one" (I did something bad)

Finally, from the board, there is this.

I think it alludes to the social pressure, the expectations, the look of others. And mostly, how it can really mess up someone.

And that's the "origin story", it all start there, from how badly s!Ryan was treated by her family, in her relationships, by society as a whole.

The devil

At one point, s!Ryan started having affinity with the “devil”.

The idea of religion, heaven and hell, god and devil, was really present. But what was the most present was the idea of siding with the devil. “Me and the devil” being the best representation of that. 

“And I said hello Satan, ah. I believe it is time to go. Me and the devil walkin' side by side [...] So my old evil spirit. Can Greyhound bus that ride” (me and the devil) “My love, are you the devil? I would worship you instead of him. I have no time for confession. For I'm too busy committing sins” “My love, you're something special. I've never met someone like you. You'd make me fall from heaven”  "Devil, " you call me. But seems to be enjoying. Oh! Oh, call me a devil. Oh, you call me a devil” (fruit)

In general, she embraced the “evil” path. It was the changing point for her.

“I'm meaner than my demons” “I'm well acquainted with villains that live in my head. They beg me to write them so they'll never die when I'm dead”. (Control) “If you'd never looked my way, I would've stayed on my knees. And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil” (Would've, Could've, Should've)

That's not all, going back to some moments of her lore :

And then going back to the hint board, there is this idea of a dark spirit in contact with her, "corrupting" her :

Figuring out what is the “devil” she’s talking about is kinda complex (for a change). 

It may be an abstract idea, but also a dark entity. It could even be someone in particular. It's kinda like the rest : entity ? god ? lover? symbol ? xD

You'd make me fall from heaven” "Devil, " you call me. But seems to be enjoying.

I see something kind of deep in the fact that she enjoyed being called "devil" and falling from heaven.

Because being a "saint" was the reason why she was suffering in the first place. And she didn't like herself.

I think she liked not being seen as perfect, that her "darkness" inside her was being perceived, understood.

And because she hated being a saint, she would rather become the complete opposite.

s!Ryan “death”

At one point, s!Ryan killed herself.

When I saw this as well as other hints, it made me think that s!Ryan could’ve died before being resurrected by the tree. It was just a suspicion of mine.

But now, I’m 100% sure that s!Ryan killed herself and came back to life. First this on her board :

And then this idea is like, omnipresent in the playlist :

“And the day has come where I have died, Only to find, I've come alive” (Teen idle) “You may bury my body. Down by the highway side” (Me and the devil) “Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time”  “I'm sorry, But the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, 'cause she's dead” (Look what you made me do) “If you wanted me dead, you should've just said. Nothing makes me feel more alive” (Who's afraid of little old me?) “You have to understand that the one I killed is me, changing what I was for what you wanted me to be” (If I killed someone for you)

And finally, the whole song “Achilles come down” is about a suicide attempt.

It seems to be coinciding with the whole "devil" allegeance I talked about earlier. I think the most important aspect is how she symbolically “killed” the one she was before.

It’s about how she killed the "saint" s!Ryan, the perfect and nice girl, who was depressed, felt unloved, was mistreated.

And she came back to life as the evil one.

I like how this picture can convey a symbolism of "phoenix". Symbolically, s!Ryan was killed and burned by the fire around her - family, lover(s), society - and then she was re-born through the "fire", a element of mayhem and destruction that she had control of.

Who is in control ?

I’m finally reaching one of the main and most recurring themes : having power and taking revenge on those who’ve done her wrong. 

She became manipulative :

“I never trust a narcissist. But they love me. So I play 'em like a violin. And I make it look oh so easy” “I never trust a playboy. But they love me. So I fly him all around the world. And I let them think they saved me” (I did something bad)

And she took her revenge over people who treated her badly before :

“If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothing. I don't regret it one bit, 'cause he had it coming" "They say I did something bad. But why's it feel so good? Most fun I ever had. And I'd do it over and over and over again if I could” (I did something bad) “But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time (nick of time) I got a list of names, and yours is in red, underlined [...] Ooh, look what you made me do”  “all I think about is karma" “I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me, I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams” (Look what you made me do) “Acting on your best behaviour. Turn your back on Mother Nature. Everybody wants to rule the world” (Everybody wants to rule the world) “… So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street. Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream. "Who's afraid of little old me?" I was tame, I was gentle 'til the circus life made me mean "Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth" Who's afraid of little old me? Well, you should be… You should be” (Who's afraid of little old me ?) “And all the kids cried out, "Please stop, you're scaring me". I can't help this awful energy. Goddamn right, you should be scared of me. Who is in control?” (Control)

Then I'll be referencing the timeline I did in the previous post :

I hope it can make clear how the "change" s!Ryan went through isn't only about hair or magic, it's really psychological.

Current s!Ryan became the one who had power over everyone, and she became everyone's worst nightmare.

I miss who I used to be

There is this line which was really interesting to me.

“God rest my soul, I miss who I used to be. The tomb won't close, stained glass windows in my mind. I regret you all the time” (Would've, Could've, Should've)

What really got to me is how most of the songs expressed that s!Ryan didn't like the one she was before, preferred the one she's now : the one having power, being ambitious, selfish, in control.

But in this one, it is said that she "miss" the one she was before ? It feels so real actually.

About how one's feelings aren't as simple as it seems, even if a lot of the songs express that s!Ryan changed her mindset, deep down she may be more conflicted.

And the second interesting aspect is a reminder about how s!Ryan herself wasn't the one who "killed" her previous self. Her "nice self" was killed by the suffering she went through, by what people put her through.

That going through this change was her own way to put an ending to it.

I'll put these lyrics again :

I was tame, I was gentle 'til the circus life made me mean "Don't you worry, folks, we took out all her teeth" Who's afraid of little old me? Well, you should be… You should be” (Who's afraid of little old me ?)

It's a reminder about how villains aren't born, they are made. s!Ryan made me go really emotional, because even tho she's acting like she's 100% confident in her new form, she's in her core the result of suffering from what she went through. From the consequences. From her feeling of loneliness.

Suming up

In conclusion, s!Ryan when she was young was someone who was nice, a "sunshine". She was lifting up to expectations that people had of her, she was “perfect” but it made her feel tired, depressed, having low self esteem. 

Her family was toxic and unloving, her “relationships” made her feel even worse. But at one point she had enough, she rose up in order to become the one in control. Going from someone sweet, to someone mean and dangerous, embracing the “bad role” and feeling better than ever. 

She “killed” herself both literally and metaphorically. That's her origin story, but....

What about current s!Ryan ?

I'll bring back your attention on s!Ryan current lore, about what she actually said :

That’s why for me, her playlist was so important to understand her. You get why she only cares about herself, why she takes so at heart opposition against her, why she feels like she has no one. It all come from her past.

She seems to base a lot of her current relationships around manipulation, and also seems to have a hard time trusting people :

(about the sun)

s!Ryan for me is someone who’s life made her mean, and selfish. But she’s still carrying inside her all the pain that she felt, all the “rotten” and “broken” side of her.  

It seems like she has a hard time opening up to people, because she wasn't used to be loved, and that she may don't trust the fact that people actually love her ? That people CAN actually love her ?

Love

You know how I said at the beginning that "love" was for me the core of s!Ryan's character ?

It’s also why her way of “loving people” is so deeply interesting. Sure, she likes to be flirty, either to be silly, mess around, or manipulate a situation for her best interest. But what about how she genuinely feel ?

Does she loves some people ? Does she know how to love ? On one hand, she doesn't seems to "love" a lot of people, and she says that she only cares about herself. But on the other hand, we can't say that there isn't people she seems to be at least attached to in her own way ?

She seems to have a twisted way of feeling everything because she never felt loved herself, but it doesn't mean she can't feel at least a bit of affection some times. Again, it's not black and white, it feels really complex.

That's why her relationships are FASCINATING to me, they're often really complex because impacted by the fact that s!Ryan's way of seeing relationships, of loving, is twisted by her inner scars.

Her relationship with s!Void is so emotional to me, because s!Void is someone really nice, sweet, someone s!Ryan was never used to, who feels so different from her.

And her relationship with Miel seems also deeply complex, and really mysterious.

And this will be for part 3!

Thanks for your attention :D

Having a history test in less than an hour.

My only thoughts are that I do not give a fuck what the nobelty thought of him, Joseph Benedikt August von Habsburg-Lothringen can go and fuck himself.

Hate that guy with a burning passion

Ladies and gentlemen and non-binary people, peasants and nobelty, here's a long anticipated second chapter! Let's go!

[julio-viernes]

Excelente artículo de Ken Barnes para la revista Best Classic Bands sobre evidentes imitaciones de Bob Dylan. En general me han gustado, pero este "You´ve Got To Be Kidding" de Dick Campbell manda, por algo el autor le ha reservado el puesto de honor.

"Por muy devotos que fueran los participantes mencionados anteriormente, nadie llegó tan lejos como Dick Campbell, un candidato del área de Chicago que no solo adoptó el estilo de Dyl al por mayor, sino que contrató a sus músicos: Mike Bloomfield, Sam Lay y la mayoría del resto de los participantes. Paul Butterfield Blues Band, sin mencionar a Peter Cetera (...) La banda se planta en la esquina de “Like a Rolling Stone” y “Positively 4th Street” mientras Dick se enfrenta frontalmente al establishment: “Dices que nunca lo lograré solo/Y que lo que sé podría llenar un cono de helado/Que nunca seré más que un vagabundo”. No es posible, Dick: siempre serás el Nº1 en nuestros corazones ligeramente burlones y buscadores de Dylan".

It was so fun just to came around with the uniform for my oc

Karamis at 18 yo / Karamis at 23 yo

Introducing a character of mine to a game is pretty much something I never did before, and since Karamis is an Imperial Prince and pretty much could befriend Hubert easily and make arrangements with the Adrestian Empire to conquer the rest of Foldland... idk. He's a special trained soldier even at his age and pretty deadly, and the nobelty in his land is pretty much nonexistent except from his family due to extreme circumstances, he is actually pretty uncomfortable wearing the Officers Academy uniform and being surrounded by nobles since he did grew like any commoner except from his studies, he tries to hide his title

And yeah, my user name is because of him and not the other way around, he's y favorite oc but not the first one. My first oc is Káfei I Lathione,and he is Karamis' great great great great great grandson (?

Karamis story happens 300 years before Káfei's, I made him as a precuel because the world they come from didn't quite had any much sense... So now Káfei is the first story I made, but chronologically the last one, Karamis' is the second and... I do did another prequel to explained Karamis' living situation, so I created Finn as the chronologically first story of that world

But yeah, pretending Karamis' Empire is part of the Foldland's world as a long across-sea distance neighbor is funny. Karan (short for Karamis, and his casual name) feels pretty much like Hubert does, an intimidating individual who doesn't quiet wish to be perceived such as one but his life path didn't gave him another choice so now deals with the constant isolation and expectations of his role

And the rest just... so much lore and world building behind all this, Káfei and the world was created back at september 15 of 2015 si it's been a long wild road, I was 12 and now I'm turning 21 in a few months, wow

I just can imagine Merlin through all this.

First he would be like "Oh, the sigil my father gave me before dying is from nobelty? I didn't know that. How curious" when Arthur tells him about the house Ambrosius. And when Arthur asks Merlin why he isn't upset about what happened to his family he just shrugs and says something like "I only ever knew my mother until my father gave me that sigil and he died shortly after, Arthur. I can't miss something I nerver had". Then Arthur keeps on investigating who killed his family and Merlin starts worrying. He knows Arthur is getting closer and when he finds out he'll be heartbroken.

Merlin: Please, Arthur, you don't have to do this. I don't care who they are. I'm more than fine with what I have.

Arthur: It's not about the properties or your position. It's about justice, Merlin. This crime can't go unpusnished.

Merlin: (desperate) Then I don't want justice! Not at the cost of you. I don't want it!

Arthur: What do you mean by that? (Realises) Merlin, you know who they are?

Merlin: ...

Arthur: Who are they? Have they been threatening you?

Merlin: No!

Arthur: (holds Merlin by the shoulders, cocerned) Merlin, you don't have to be scared. You can tell me the truth. I'll protect you.

Merlin: (eyes watering) They are not threatening me. They don't know I'm related to Ambrosius and that's the only reason I'm alive. But it's someone who is very dear to you, Arthur. I can't ask you to kill them.

Arthur: All the more reason! If they are close to me and did something so atrocious, I must know! Who is it? Tell me!

Merlin: (shakes his head, crying)

Arthur: (tries to guess) Is it Leon?

Merlin: (shakes his head effusively)

Arthur: My uncle?

Merlin: (shakes his head, but not as effusively so Arthur knows He's getting closer)

Arthur: (with fear) My... My father?

Merlin: (Nods almost imperceptly but Arthur catches it)

Arthur: (lets go of Merlin, a mix of shock, denial, but mostly devasted) No...

Merlin: My father was Balinor. The last Dragonlord. I'm sorry, Arthur. I'm so sorry.

Arthur distances himself for a while and Merlin things that that's it. Surely Arthur must think he must be lying, he prefers to believe that than thinking Arthur came to the conclusion his father did right by wiping all the dragonlords.

Then one day Arthur drags him out of his room without a word and brings him to a secret reunion with the knights. Merlin fears for a moment that he's going to be exposed and executed, but, to his very surprise, Arthur exposes his father's crime towards Merlin's family to the round table instead and says he's going to challenge Uther in a duel to the death. Then Arthur puts out the sigil Merlin gave him saying he has every right to do it since he's part of the Ambrosius house now. Merlin feels like faiting... And he does.

balinor giving merlin the ambrosius sigil and merlin carrying it around with him for years. merlin and arthur sitting around a campfire, both believing fullheartedly that they’ll be dead by morning bc like hell are they going to allow the other to sacrifice themself to close the veil. arthur giving merlin the du bois sigil as a parting gift and ensuring that merlin will be taken care of after his death. merlin biting the bullet and handing over the ambrosius family sigil in exchange. luckily, arthur doesn’t recognize the ambrosius sigil for what it is - a dragonlord lineage. BUT now he thinks merlin has noble blood and is wondering when tf he figured that out, if he ever met his father, and why he never told arthur.
