What if the plant body hadn't worked out, and the Holy Mausoleum solution had actually taken a long time to sort of "fix" Shen Qingqiu's body and fully call his soul back to it, so that hundreds of years passed and civilization in PIDW/SV world progressed to the point of something like the "modern era"?

Imagine Luo Binghe trying to delicately introduce his shizun to such strange concepts as smart phones and credit cards, while Shen Qingqiu is just desperately trying to figure out how dumb he should play this. Would it be believable for him to get everything on the first try? There have to be some differences between what he knows and this world's versions, right, because of the demons and cultivators and things? Right?? But it's not like any of this actually IS difficult for him to grasp!

Luo Binghe: Shizun already discerned how to type using a keyboard...?

Shen Qingqiu, sweating bullets: what, like it's hard?

— THE ROGUE INQUISITOR

to start off the year, I got myself this incredible commission of Imogen from @sashthesloth and I could not be more happy with it!!! I’ve been staring at all of the details that Sash captured in each outfit and it has brought Imogen to life in a way I’ve been dying to see for ages. I cannot thank you enough for your amazing work on this piece and being so lovely to work with! I can’t wait to have the opportunity to commission you again!

Veridia's hills sport many natural caves. Its residents have exploited some for iron and other ores, but high above the village is one where the edges of reality and the otherworld blur, marked by the gods as a sacred place by the pure white tree growing outside the entrance. Sims trek here to leave offerings to the underworld guides as well as to conduct rites and inter their dead within the cave's niches.

Does anyone know of olc stex sheet music? Or is there only the new starlight express sheet music?

There’s a bunch of songs i’d love to learn from the old one that just aren’t in that book…

Saw a fic about vastaya Viktor and if you ask me he’s definitely a bird (or salamander if you wanna super angstify him- cough cough Rio cough).

[pynkhues]

I read somewhere that Rolin specifically wanted Louis to be a brothel owner because he thought it was important for his character that he have the same casual view on the exploitation of people’s bodies as book slave-owner Louis. These are important aspects of his character that I feel the show handles with more nuance and care than the books. Louis should get to have his negative qualities!

(x)

Yeah, I think I read that too, anon, and honestly, I think it really makes a lot of sense for his character, and also is a part of what makes him really interesting? This is a bit of a tangent, and I've got a half-drafted longer reply to someone else's ask about this that I'll post eventually, haha, but there's so much stress on Louis as the most 'human' vampire in fandom, when I think that's both true and untrue? I think Louis feels very connected to human expression (most clearly seen through his love of art and literature), while having detachment at best and derision at worst for the humans who create it (best seen through his cruelty around the artist in Paris, but also his gentrification of San Francisco in the 70s and abandonment of the people in 2.01).

In a lot of ways, even that in itself feels like the embodiment of capitalism, and like - - it's been fascinating to see this embrace in fandom of Louis as a capitalist and yet this sort of denial of the reality that successful capitalism relies on the exploitation and abuse of people for the sake of profit. That exploitation and abuse almost always involves intersections of racism, misogyny and classism, which Louis has absolutely been shown to participate in.

Like, God, in the first episode alone, the Alderman Fenwick tries to anally rape Bricktop, and someone (well, Lestat) murders Miss Lily, and Louis doesn't even bat an eye. Maybe you could make an argument that he had commercial interests at risk with Bricktop, and was distracted by his brother's death and Lestat's Whole Deal by the time Miss Lily was killed, but I think to deny that his flippancy towards both crimes isn't inherently steeped in misogyny and a devaluation of women's bodies and lives, is pretty naive.

I think people tend to think misogyny is just about hating women, and it's not. It's about upholding patriarchal structures and values that oppress and objectify them, and having ingrained prejudice against them. Louis absolutely uses women as a pimp, and I think even at home upholds patriarchal family dynamics with both Grace and Claudia. I've touched on that before, and linked to those posts there, so won't get into it here, but yeah! Louis' relationship with women is complicated and usually paternalistic, dismissive and - ultimately - about him, even with the women he - genuinely! - loves.

And when I say that, I mean it as literally the opposite of a criticism. Like you said, he should be allowed to have negative qualities! Those negative qualities give him texture and humanity and make him real, and are one of the reasons the show's version of him is so, so compelling.

I like this parallel drawn by this twt user

still thinking about antoine semi-rping on main during the qsmp meta talk with etoiles, florence and zerator last night . why did this dude scoff when étoiles started talking about the resistance . why did he start asking him why he’d possibly want to kill federation guards and disagree with étoiles calling them mean/bad people . you are currently discussing this while playing on the mc server that contains La Tour de Merde you can Nawt give me lore jitters like this…..

[musclesandhammering]

Queer women are the main culprits of fetishising mlm relationships (both real and nonexistent ones), and I think we’re all scared to admit that.

sorry for only saying this type of shit lately but i kinda wanna drive a car straight into a brick wall at the highest speed possible

"popping boba" has to be one of the worst possible coffee shop innovations never in my life have I been drinking an iced latte and thought "I wish this sensory experience was slightly more akin to eating fish eggs"

[shadelorde]

“Just because Korra was being abused nonstop doesn’t mean I can’t call her a bitch she didn’t know she was being abused anyways!!!!111!1” do you know how abuse works. You do not have to know you’re being abused in order to have an emotional reaction to it. “Korra’s the AVATAR!!!” do you think the avatar is fucking god. Do you think that makes her omniscient. Do you genuinely think that means she can do everything all the time. “Mako wasn’t ignoring Korra he was trying to be supportive!!” Yeah for all of two episodes before he whipped around with “maybe you wouldn’t have to save the world if you didn’t keep messing it up!”

Get ALL the way out of my fucking face and out of the fucking fandom, thank you. Fuck.
