actually i wanna expand on this a little (i say, with no visible lead up):
emmrich, to a rook not from the mourn watch, literally says that all necromancers are mortalitasi, but not all mortalitasi are part of the mourn watch, when they ask him about it and the difference between them. he's absolutely happy to clarify because it's his mission to demystify necromancy and make it less scary to the people he's going to be working with, and it's his special interest. he'll info dump all day long about it.
what you gotta understand here is that the necropolis is this huge, functioning city of the dead, yes, that employs a lot of people. not just necromancers, they've got guards and groundskeepers and shop keepers and a slew of other folks that do different jobs, a lot of which don't require magic and that magic isn't in the skillset of the people working them. i imagine the ratio of mages to non-mages is very small, actually; it's just that the majority of the people we meet from the mourn watch and in the necropolis directly are mages.
basically: not every mourn watch member is a mage, there's other roles to fill and those undoubtedly outnumber the necromancers.
running that place has got to be expensive. like lucanis has a banter with emmrich where they talk about how it's probably the biggest money draw and driving force behind the nevarran economy, because i imagine you have to be able to afford to be buried there, you have to, like any burial ground, purchase your plot. who knows how big the necropolis actually is - it's got a bit of a tardis feel to it, maybe it's bigger on the inside and it's pulling a thing like hank pym's infinite mansion and just expands as needed - but i imagine real estate there comes at a premium. emmrich wasn't able to get his own parents buried there until he'd made full watcher, after all, and i imagine he had the disposable income to have them exhumed, moved, and re-interred in the gardens. with all the appropriate ritual around it.
so, the crux of it, tho, is that the mourn watch itself...i don't think you can say it's a political entity, in and of itself. there's one thing to be up to your ass in the machinations of the nobility, and there's another to be aware of who not to piss off, and what to be aware of to keep your organization functioning. knowing the court mortalitasi and their corpse whisperer are puppeting king markus around and not saying anything because it'll look bad on everyone involved in necromancy - an already villified art outside of their borders - even if they have nothing to do with it.
and the money thing: they need that noble gold to keep themselves going. it's just a fact of life, guys, it's shitty, but they have to take in money and donations from the nobility to pay people, for upkeep on the necropolis itself, to buy supplies they need, the list goes on, organizations like theirs don't run on a budget of five bucks and good will. rook was a casualty (if a member of the mourn watch) of a tough decision, because they pissed off nobles that donate much needed money. but i don't think it was so much as kicking them out forever and ever, actually, but more to get them out of sight, out of mind for a time until the heat was off of them and the next thing to piss off the gentry made them forget about it.
rook was always going to be able to come back home at some point, is what i'm saying, they're the crypt baby. they just had to be removed from sight for a little while so the heat could die down.
i have, like, a whole other thing about the circles in nevarra - how sure i'm willing to bet money the smaller circles in bumfuck nowhere were as shitty as elsewhere to a degree (though to me - the way i've read it - it seems the mages elsewhere freaked out during the rebellions because they were afraid the people of the villages and such were going to come for them, not that they were necessarily directly involved but that's a whole ass thing if you side with the templars over the mages in dai, which is also an entire other thing). and how if the mourn watch were a purely political entity someone like emmrich - an orphan, from a poor background, taken in as a ward of the mourn watch itself - would probably never have ended up where he is, with actual status and wealth, because he is of a common origin and didn't have a dime to his name starting out.
point is: tacitly keeping your mouth shut about the king being undead to keep hundreds of people employed and not embarrass your whole ass country on a world stage isn't great (i'm american, ask me how that feels right now lmao), but it's a necessary evil when you're essentially a publicly funded university and funeral home if you want to stay a publicly funded university and funeral home.

one more thing, i can't tell you how often I think about m.ichael && f.redo. how the movie portrayed him as the dope, sure, but the family sent him to vegas to learn the casino side so that the c.orleone's could move west!! sure, it was keeping him out of the family in New york, but it wasn't exile. there was purpose. m.ichael loved his brother. so much. i imagine he relied heavily on him & his made connections to have a running start in the future of the corleone business. it's not f.redo's fault he never learned that confidence that separated him from the family, specifically his brothers; the fever may have hindered him as a child. of course he was bitter. he wasn't even considered to be the head of the family && with good reason. of course this resentment festered like a sore waiting to pop inside the c.orleone legacy. m.ichael didn't want to kill his brother. he had no choice, if the family was going to survive && that was m.ichael's fatal flaw. he chose business over family && f.redo's death was the final straw tying him to any humanity. when that knot is ripped, what's left but an empty man holding the frayed remains.

could he help the way he looked onto luffy, grinning proudly at the pirate? most certainly not. it had been so long since his " execution " and this ethereal being had kept an eye on the boy since he departed from foosha. shanks really outdid himself with this kid. he had yet to appear to luffy, the man simply wandering a spectator, invisible to the naked eye, yet he could tell others saw himself in this carefree boy. and truthfully? he couldn't disagree. the specter really wanted to pick this boys' brain.
Tumblr media
if he wanted to approach luffy by himself, he'd just have to do it when he was alone. and maybe that'd why he settled himself upon an unused desk, arms folded across his chest. roger was likely to scare the poor boy to death, but the herald of the new era could hardly care at this point.

i'm ngl i feel like a lot of people are just saying 'the stan o' war wouldn't work out' because they just want ford off the boat so they can ship him with fiddleford or something. like come on didn't we watch the same show . the same ending . it pains me that fandoms are so obsessed with shipping all the time.
god im so far from the gf shipping circles that that being the reason why some folks are resistant to them living on the stan o war didnt even occur to me lmaoooooo (plus if they want to ship, they could at least accept that long distance relationships is perfectly fine)
the reason i tend to see is "oh the stan twins havent been on good terms for that long!! it'd be a disaster just because of that!!!" but there's an implication that they spent months planning out their trip with both of them getting closer with soos, which emphasises the importance of family idk

Tag Dump because I'm tired of not having my tags handy.
Tumblr media
Also NSFW headcanons because i forget my headcanons. I have headcanons but I only write smut when the stars align and two blood sacrifices have been made in my honor so no one needs to know these.
HIM's eyes go black when they c*m.
They are a nonbinary-shapeshifter but they prefer to have a pen*s.
Head game is insane.
They are EXTREMELY vain so when it comes to talking during its usually stuff like "you like my *blank*" "i know it feels good when i *blank*"
Believe it or not, HIM is a switch. They have no preference for either though. It's really just whatever they feel like at the moment.
They love to leave marks in visible spots.
Finally, the tags:
ooc. 「 monster fucker simulator. 」 ic. 「 lace a lie with truth none is sweeter. 」 him. 「 creature most vile. 」 mojo. 「 prove yourself worthy to a worthless cause. 」 musings. 「 delights of pain and pleasure. 」 headcanons. 「 to kill a god. 」 aesthetic. 「 luxuries of devil to make angels weep. 」 style. 「 dipped with gold and blood. 」 self promo. 「 fall in decay. 」 promo. 「 succumb to your weakness. 」 desires. 「 the taste of the forbidden  」
body. 「 all the better to eat you with. 」 fc. 「 evil always seeks to tempt. 」 answers. 「 look to the heavens and pray to devils. 」 jojoisnomo. 「 beautiful disaster i’ll eat you. 」 mojo and him. 「 own me i'll let you play the role. 」 rebelpuff. 「 what's the most you ever lost 」
