#say i slew them not

[thephoenixandthecrocodile]

In my story, Kingsley, my anthro crocodile MC who was tried for war crimes he definitely committed is friends/allies/situationship with Rezan the Lord of the Demons.

Rezan hasn’t been seen in a while but when rumors spread that he’s returned I kind of want Kingsley to have a Bedelia moment and prepare something for his return but I’m not sure what….except for maybe a jar of eyeballs 🤣

Hello, Spamton!

How's life? Also, do you have any opinions on the Addisons? (Pink, blue, orange, and yellow)

If so, what do you think of them?

[thephoenixandthecrocodile]

Kingsley is definitely planning a full take over of the student government. 🤣

Your protagonist is forced to attend a public high school in our world.worse, joining an extracurricular is mandatory.

What am I gonna do when croissant finishes the game their journey... TT_TT I don't wanna say goodbye to them!!

I don't know buddy I've been wondering the same thing :') Let's not think about it-

my energy has been low lately so i've stuck to just liveblogging chapter releases, but i was thinking earlier about why lore olympus really nettles me and it's truly indicative of a wider issue.

it's disappointing that a major ancient religion that is still practiced by some people today has been reduced to a caricature of itself, and i say this knowing that there are thousands of reinterpretations of the greek myths, there will always be a new opinion or retelling of them. retelling the myth of hades and persephone isn't necessarily the issue, so much as the constant and dripping disdain to the cultural roots. we don't need to be greek to appreciate the story, but why remove everything greek from it? why westernize every aspect and remove ties to the cultural roots? why whitewash everything from a myth thousands of years old?

part of the reason these myths continue to resonate with us is because the themes are still relevant today. the loss of a child, the struggle against impossible forces, the (often patriarchal) powers against you, a mothers love. these stories hold power, they gave hope and inspiration, they created meaning and connection, and they were vital to the people who lived in that time, in that place. they will resonate with us for many years still, but stripping the roots and core of it out only makes it a hollow, shallow imitation. it's reality tv with neon colours, no love or heritage present; it's cold and shiny and plastic, and it insults what it claims to portray.

One day. I will be able to find the words. To explain what the difference is between Lif and Mani. There is a Core Difference between them. Of what they Are. Today apparently is NOT that day though.

MY PHYSICAL THERAPIST ASKED ABOUT MY BOOKS AND MY OCS AND IT MADE MY DAY RAAAAAAAAAAA

[irrigos]

a thing that happens frequently in FL is something will be heavily implied but never formally stated, and people will act like you're an idiot if you say its not canon but a different group of people are also very likely to say you're an idiot if you say it IS canon, and my particular autism way makes it hard for me to pick up on some of the implications in FLs writing so im never sure which of these groups has a stronger claim. do you know how long i spent being unsure if Jervaise was Mrs Plentys husband. YEARS.

Also I’m stupidly proud of this little graphic I made for one of my BTS episodes for my adult queer fantasy noir podcast Say I Slew Them Not

Thought I’d throw out a general disclaimer cause I have been accused of hating the Golden Triad on multiple occasions even though I don’t. But I completely understand why people assume I hate them, I mean I raged against the machine every single time they had screen time and had some complaint or other about their plot/script.

But I don’t hate them. I do however hate their characterization post season two. For a long list of reasons I won’t get into; except that I felt they weren’t handled with nuance (except in part Theo but that’s a different can of worms). That they were cleaned up and polished for character arcs that could have been more appealing and intriguing without making the Golden Triad pure. So I have very mixed feelings towards the three of them and am also generally distrustful of other people’s handling of them in fic. Because it’s again, handling something deeply personal to me, that I have strong opinions and data about.

However, I do not hate them. I sadly can’t. If I could I would. But I love them the way you love honey in tea, just a little bit to balance the bitterness but not enough to taste.

Hmm I've been considering making puppets of calendertowns characters as a bit of a fun side project for myself ( I made a mock up for cricket out of rolled up paper balls and scrap fabric even!!)
