#probably a very unpopular opinion

I don't think you understand the sadness that just came over me when I realized Anthony Tremaine probably won't be in the new descendants book. I literally read three of those books because of him. I was content with him not being in one of 'em was because it was Huma and sea three centric.

Like what's even the fucking point anymore?

don't get me wrong, i'm all for cute stories about pregnancy and having children together, but as someone who is like super terrified of pregnancy and wouldn't consider themself as someone who'd make a good parent, i'd loooove to read more fics about... that? either it's an unwanted pregnancy and they're terrified, or the couple talks about having kids and maybe the partner is open to the idea but understands and respects their s/o's fears and wishes. idk.

i personally prefer s2 haladriel mainly because i adore the dead dove mindfuck they’re embedded in each others minds and can never erase it dynamics (although the execution itself is another story lol) but at the same time im fond of s1 as a whole much more not just ship wise but in terms of plot enjoyment does this even make sense idk

im just gonna say whats on my mind feel free to ignore this post its kinda petty but i just have to let it out

well hold on, if we define a character flaw as any limitation a character deals with, regardless of whether it's something Morally Wrong With Them or not, then Ford's paranoia counts as a character flaw since it does in fact negatively impact him and the people around him. Let me use better wording here: I will die on the hill that Ford's paranoia is not a moral failing.

unpopular opinion: i know most of the show fans find ursula bonadeo annoying and dislike her character because cesare projected lucrezia onto her and used her as a substitute. but after many rewatches, i grew to like her. she's very pretty, and she was very sweet to lucrezia while helping her with giving birth. i feel sorry for her because she's a noble young woman who spent her life trapped with an abusive husband who beats her. and when she thought she finally found this handsome, honorable savior who could free her (even though she was indecisive about him, which i don't blame her because women back in that era didn't have many choices, and her husband would probably kill her if he found out about her and cesare), he turned out to be unhinged, as he seduces her, and manipulates her while being lustfully obsessive over her. so, she was rightfully terrified and frustrated by cesare because he eventually assaulted her and dragged her around while forcing himself on her because she didn't exactly look like the perfect image (mirror of his sister) in his head after she cut her hair. then she got a very brutal end at the hands of the french army, raping her and mutilating her. she lived most of her life being tormented by cruel men. her character makes me so sad thinking about the women who were mistreated and killed by their abusive partners and were lost and forgotten to time because of the patriarchal system since it is beyond horrible towards women.

'Thus he ended his speech, and he doesn't say That he had wronged or spoken ill of the king, But he prayed that God long keep the king In life, in happiness, [in honour], and in contentment. And when, to the people in attendance, he said, With a steadfast countenance, "Pray for me," With a firm heart he presented his head To the sharp blade that carried it off in one blow. [And not fearing the great cruelty Of the sharp blade [...] Each one seeing that people bore great grief from it] The [three] who had to die afterwards Said nothing, as if they intentionally Had entrusted Rochford Alone to speak for their conscience [...] [The Queen] was still so curious [...] Therefore, they tell her that her brother had shown The greatest strength of any man ever seen [...] The story of the death of Anne Boleyn : a poem by Lancelot de Carle, JoAnn DellaNeva (Translator, Editor, Writer of added commentary)

"'I will,' he said in a good lawyerly fashion, 'not in this point arouse any suspicion which might prejudice the king's issue.' Unwilling to drop his line of questioning, Hales next claimed that George had spread malicious reports which called into question the paternity of Anne's child, Elizabeth. George did not dignify this with an answer. He knew his own sister." Hunting the Falcon, John Guy & Julia Fox

"But George refused to answer the question with the required yes or no, not wishing, he said, “to engender or create suspicion in a matter likely to prejudice the issue the King might have from another marriage.” Nor would he respond to any suggestion that he had spread a rumour that Elizabeth was not Henry’s. The idea that he believed Elizabeth was not the king’s child and that he had repeated such an untruth was, to George, so contemptible that he would not even dignify it with a reply." The Infamous Lady Rochford, Julia Fox

"George Boleyn's real 'crime' was to be Anne Boleyn's brother and Princess Elizabeth's uncle. He was intelligent and spirited enough to mount a powerful defence of his sister. He was powerful enough to provide the focus for Boleyn followers and, especially, those who would assert Elizabeth's rights as heir to the crown." Anne Boleyn, Josephine Wilkinson

Call me Mahoro because I also think her brother is hot af Btw the plot twist in this series is that Arajin is going take his crush last name but not because of her. Sorry for the spoilers peace and love in the planet Earth

And could somebody make this Marito teddy bear real? It's a basic and essential need atp

[sga-owns-my-soul]

you know what really annoys me

i can say i'm in love with my cat. i can say i'm in love with my home. i can say i'm in love with the stars, and the sunrise, and the mountains and forests and oceans and everyone knows what i mean. it's accepted

but if i say i'm in love with my partner it HAS to be romantic. the only way to be in love with a person is romantic

i don't think that's true. i think you can be in love with anyone, in any type of love. i hate that society has decided being in love is ONLY allowed between two romantic partners

my partner and i are not romantic, but i'm still in love with him. the same way i'm in love with all my friends, and i don't think society should get to tell me that's not a valid form of love

Now that the multiverse theory is real, I want your take on the whole "Nesta and Manon would kiss if they met" take.

Also, noticed how everyone outside of the Inner Circle, even people from other dimensions, instantly like Nesta. I think my girl was meant for more

Honestly, I hate the multiverse nonsense with a deep, deep passion, but I will forever engage with the showing off this nice fine hill I'll die goddamn mad on: Manon, witch queen goddamn supreme, would rather be fucking dead then beg some mortal man to MARRY HER.

Are you kidding SJM? Joking? Deranged????

(listen. The ship makes sense as a symptom- it's a straight journey from dead mortal true love > suicidal grief + life ruined > hey lets fuck the beautiful lady who might literally eat me, don't worry if I like her too much, she's basically indestructible. But for Manon? I'll accept that she fucks men but literally everything else happening makes zero goddamn sense.)

But back to the topic: I think they WOULD kiss (bi Nesta can be pried out of my cold dead hands), but I do not think they'd stay together. They're too alike! It's not a balanced relationship.

But you know what, it would be like. Soulmate level ride or die forever friendship. Manon and Nesta. Elide and Elain. (Are these friends or alternative versions of the same characters). Nesta is literally IN CANON called a witch (as an insult. For reasons. Because faeries hate...maybe not real witches? For sexism. Mostly).

And I would much rather see Nesta tromping around rebuilding a witchy kingdom than trapped as an abused baby factory. Much!! It would appeal to her skill set and she could have an appropriately mean best friend. They speak the same emotional language. They've been through some shit. They want a better world and maybe also to be free, forever. It's ideal.

Besides Danmarch (and low key FeiQiu?), what other Honkai Star Rail ships do you like?

Hold on, Kathr*n Warn*r recently published a book exclusively about Edward II's sexuality and relationships?

[weakermoments]

// "Dark Danny/Dan is half Plasmius."

I literally do not give a shit.

I headcanon Dan as 99% Danny, and he only picked up a few things from Plasmius like the teal skin, red eyes, and fangs.

Otherwise, he's Danny. Evil Danny with trauma™️ galore, no more humanity, etc. He snapped. He had enough.

So then, what happened to Plasmius? Because Vlad was technically still alive during Dan's time, "Plasmius" ceased being his own person, or his spirit went back to Vlad. His body/ghost was used for Danny to fuse with and to become more powerful/evil/mad (mad as in insane).

Danny's body (as Phantom) and mind was the one that won out the fusion. It wasn't until after he fused with Plasmius that he started to gain firey white hair, and the rest of his new ghostly features.

Plasmius' mind is not in Dan. There is no Vlad there. It is Danny without any ounce of humanity left.
