THE MOVIE IS ON PEACOCK!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but on top of everything else that’s great about it; I think Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs is a good example of demiromance. Because while Red Shoes likes the dwarfs, she doesn’t fall in love with any of them until she gets to know them. Similarly, while the dwarfs all have a crush on Red Shoes, the one who falls in love with her only does so after sharing a number of experiences with her and seeing her real true self.

As the lows are not based on any morality outside of personal introspection, and their traits are instead an embodiment and exaggeration of existing aspects that each character dislikes about themselves; conversely, that means the opposite for the highs.

Which means deep down Lister and Rimmer really like the fact that they love each other.

Two months ago I spent a whole day hyper focusing on designing a red dwarf bullet journal and today it arrived! :)

The problem with streaming media is that they're not giving me anything I couldn't get for free with the bare minimum effort it takes to find an ✨alternative website✨

I would rather pay €20 for a physical copy of a movie than €15 for access to a streaming service that has that movie in lower quality, subject to my internet speed and whether or not they continue to license that movie.

I bought a copy of Red Dwarf on Blu Ray like 2 years ago and I can watch any episode whenever I want. I can watch it right now. Y'know where I can't watch it anymore? Netflix. Because the cheap bastards wouldn't cough up the dough to keep streaming it. In 10 years I will still have Red Dwarf, and Netflix will have another dozen bland reality shows that no one cares about.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

[frie-ice]

Neige LeBlanche here is modelled after Princess Snow White. The red text on his hat says "Someday My Princess Will Come" and his name translates to Snow White in English. Both words were taken from the French language, since 'neige' means 'snow' while 'blanche' means 'white'. Unlike the TWST collages I have done of this series, Neige is a student of Royal Sword Academy than at Night Raven College.

I don't know if I'll do collages for the other RSA students, as I don't know how I'll fit all 14 dwarfs in one collage and there aren't enough images of the Royal Sword Academy's dwarves to do individual collages. There is also a debate on which character that the school's headmaster is based on, some are saying Merlin while another group believe it is Yen Sid. As both Disney wizards are dressed in blue robs and have beards.

Sorry if it looks like a ship collage, due to the nature of the Snow White images I found, but I can reassure you this isn't a ship collage. Just as the collage's title isn't a ship title, I just wanted to reference both characters in the title in a fancy way. Rather than having it something simple like "Snow White & Neige".

This Disney Twisted Wonderland collage is par of a series that showcase the parallel comparisons between the original TWST characters with the classic Disney villain characters (or trademark items) that they are based on upon and inspired from. In which has those Twisted Wonderland characters be seen as the TWST counterparts of those Disney characters. I got the idea for this series after seeing Tumblr posts of the TWST Housewardens and Vice-Housewardens being featured beside the original Disney characters that they represent, and I didn't want to limit myself to the Dorm Heads and overblot victims, but also for the other TWST characters.

original text/post

[ID: Two images, each made up of screenshots of both text messages and panels from Dungeon Meshi. The texts feature several typos which have been corrected here.

The first image features Laios suffering from a fever while he tries to sleep. The text next to him reads, "A hey the witch king dumb as shit oooo no man can kill me well ok that just leaves women hobbits dwarf elf ent orc goblin grond warg real big goose. Fell breast turns around he's not expecting it Whap tail whip his ass off a cliff moron ok i sleeping now." A red circle and arrow highlights the phrase "witch king" and points to an image of the lunatic magician Thistle looking angry.

The second image shows Laios again, this time awake and lucid, eating a sandwich. The text next to him reads, "Oh fuck yes garlic bread."

End ID.]

Thinking about Kryten’s lifespan and how Lister has spent most of his life with him now, but for Kryten his time on Red Dwarf is a tiny blip on his timeline.

Further investigations into Father Lorgan's murder:

Rakha talks to a fellow in the kitchen (the very Brother Donnick responsible for SOUPS OF THE REALMS BY BROTHER DONNICK), from whom she learns that a) nobody much likes Valeria the Hollyphant investigator, b) Brilgor was a nice guy who "didn't seem like the murdering type", and c) his only likely theory for Lorgan's enemies were the people who didn't like that he was nice to the refugees.

In spite of my dismissive tag on my previous post, I think Rakha's fascination with the religion of Ilmater continues, although she's not quite sure how she feels about it. It is, however, helpful in distracting her from her automatic more hungry interest in the murder itself. Reading through some writings of Lorgan's and comparing it to writings of other priests in the building, she discovers that he was somewhat unlike most of them, who seem to have revered suffering for its own sake. Lorgan assiduously espouses that "to suffer is not holy; to suffer is a consequence of holy duty made practice." She's particularly fascinated by one paragraph of Lorgan's writing, which she looks at for a long time: "Some may ask of you, if you are loved by your god, why does he allow you to suffer? Why does he allow anyone to suffer? The question is strong rhetoric, but it has an answer. One cannot be healed without first being hurt. One cannot truly know joy without knowing its absence. But to live a life full of absence, full of suffering, would be to know only one thing. We enact balance in the name of the Lord on the Rack, for it is right and it is just." She has caused so much suffering. Jaheira speaks often of balance, and so does this text... but there is no balance in her, not yet. Perhaps... perhaps one day she will find it, but it seems an overwhelming task at present.

Most importantly, she finds one of Lorgan's journals hidden away in a chest, where he describes hiding and helping people in a hidden area of the temple cellar, which was - probably not coincidentally - also where he was murdered.

Another Bhaalist reference in an old manuscript: "And lo, he walked among us! But for a brief and brilliant moment, the Crying God wept upon our earth with the tears of a most fortunate faithful. He took the cur of Gehenna, this most defiled creature of Murder, and held it in His immutable embrace. In His most perfect knowing, he walked with it into the Sea of Fallen Stars - the cur clawed and screamed and ripped and tore, but he brooked no quarter. And when the sea ran red with the blood of the Divine, the wailing and gnashing ceased. The creature was dead. No trace of His commanded faithful remained, save for a humble iron helm, which washed ashore with nary a scratch or sea-rust about it." From this, Rakha discerns that she is correct in seeing Ilmater as an antithesis to her Bhaalspawn nature. But this is not an image of forgiveness as the priests out front promised, but instead of obliteration. She pictures herself as this "cur", dragged into the sea and drowned. It's an image that makes more sense than she would like.

She talks to a super grumpy priest named Sister Rose who is overseeing Lorgan's dead body. Rose is impatient, thinking Rakha's coming for medical attention; one of Rakha's available dialogue lines is "Do I look diseased to you?" which is pretty funny since Rakha currently looks like this:

She does provide some useful information, though - specifically that Lorgan was hit with a paralytic poison and had his hand sawed off while he was still alive, before he was killed. The beast in Rakha's head enjoys this mental image quite a lot, unfortunately.

She finally gets some use out of the Speak With Dead spell that she's thus far only used to talk to Z'rell's corpse, by using it on Lorgan. She definitely thinks she's being clever and hopes this will just blow the case wide open, but unfortunately it's not that simple.

"Who killed you?"

"Dwarf... dressed in red..."

"Why did he kill you?"

Narrator: The corpse remains silent. It does not know.

"What were you doing when you died?"

"Hiding Brilgor... from Fists..."

"Why were you hiding Brilgor?"

"Must protect innocents... Ilmater's will..."

"Where did you hide him?"

"Took him to the tunnels... with the rest... fool... fool..."

Well. That does seem to promisingly indicate that perhaps Brilgor wasn't responsible - unless he was a dwarf who wore red regularly - but it doesn't provide a lot of information on an alternative.

This whole situation has Rakha feeling genuinely mixed up in a lot of different ways - the Bhaalist taint in her is thrilled about the murder, she herself feels jumbled about the religious elements in question, Wyll and Jaheira want to see the refugee exonerated, Minthara and Lae'zel want to leave. It's more of a mess of a situation than she expected coming in the door, that's for certain.

But in the end, she presses forward, leading them down into the basement. It feels like the right thing to do... though she trusts her own judgment on that less and less.
