#NOBODY FUCKING LOVED HIM#at least Till had a mom sort of#IVAN IS FROM THE GOD-DAMNED SLUMS#even in terms of friendship only Mizi really liked him !!#And it doesn't even seem from the art book that he reciprocated her friendship to the same extent#He thought of Sua as family but she just thought he was annoying#Till did like him as a friend but we all know Ivan never felt important to Till#He never felt like he was important to ANYONE#he probably didn't even realize Mizi considered him a close friend#Vivinos you are paying for my therapy#ivantill#alnst ivan#alien stage ivan#alien stage till#alien stage sua#alien stage mizi#alien stage#alnst#alnst till#alnst mizi#alnst sua

from the vibes you get from him in the short stories I don't think emmrich would ever do this (he seems very sweet and personable, honestly), BUT it would be extremely funny if over the course of the game he met dorian and made subtle fun of him for being a mooaboo (mortalitasi weeaboo, to be clear).
dorian really went to nevarra on holiday with his family once as a teenager, saw the goths there doing their locked tomb flavoured fuckery with all the bells whistles and bones, and then made that his entire personality and professional expertise for years even after he returned to tevinter. he's a nerd. he's a second hand goth. he's gay. he broke the fabric of space and time as a side project in university. he has alcoholic tendencies apparently inherited from his mother and immaculate fashion game. he cheats at chess. he loves fereldan beer but would rather die than admit to it publicly. he's a magister now. he's allergic to stripweed. I'm in tears I just love him so much
#he would LOVE the locked tomb books. such an outrage that I can't reach through the screen to give them to him#dorian pavus#dragon age#emmrich volkarin#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#dorian necromancer specialization in da:i is kind of nonsense lbr but love this element of it SO much. such a real-feeling detail#like yeah that gives me an incredibly potent sense of what dorian was like at seventeen and it fills me with joy and affection#surely emmrich and dorian would have a lot to talk about if they meet tho it's too golden an opportunity to let slip#dorian and varric also seem to have some common ground when it comes to mothers which like. amazing. thematic mirrors#in inquisition they're basically both princes running around in the ass end of the fereldan woods dodging bears with us.#slumming it big time.

[Something, a rebellious employee (servant?) that doesn't get paid enough, approaches recovering Commodus's chambers, before it can get too close a small figure runs to stand between the emperor and intruder, wielding a sword that seems way too heavy for them]
Don't touch him-
@pain-is-forever
HUH-
okay now little soldier at ease it's alright
[gets up wobbly]
I'm sure there's no need to do that it's just a servant i can handle it
[he tries to gently take the sword from theo]
#yeah he uses a lot of old timey language towards things like houses employees ect cuz he's just used to it#he'd call the bronx a slum probably#dunno how book accurate that is but it's a headcanon i like

Absolutely free, so everyone can see.
Shia LaBeouf as Clodio Pulcher in MEGALOPOLIS (2024) dir. Francis Ford Coppola
#megalopolis#shia labeouf#mine#francis ford coppola#the og claude hamilton had more fun things going on#like the Haiti slum & witch mama#and the killing of Nush#but I respect Francis' choice#I understand that he already used The Wild One homage in Twixt#and the way Clodio now is more 'Roman'#it's still a pity that Francis threw away the whole Haitian storyline#I mean I think the vidictia book and a snake (and curse ritual being performed) would be a perfect match#anyway shia did a good job#you can feel that he's free#there are times he's clueless#but they end up being very instinctive#the 'pick up my hat' scene is a perfect example#he's on FIRE

Who would you cast as Kaz? How about all the Crows?
You're going to be disappointed in this answer, but my preference would be to go with a cast of unknown/newer actors, which inherently means that I can't give you a cast list :/ idk I just feel like that would be the best choice for the story practically and thematically.
That being said, I honestly feel like the best way to adapt soc would be in animation. I know that would literally never happen, but in general when it comes to stories with very vibey worlds and magic systems I feel like animation is almost always the best way to go. It's really easy for the sets and costumes to look cheap or super generic in live action, and that's even more true for any effects for the magic system. Soc has such a unique flavor and atmosphere that even if an adaptation had, like, game of thones money and an insane powerhouse creative team, it's just really hard for me to see it getting done right in live action.
#this is probably not the answer you were hoping for sorry :/#i'll actually die on the soc should be animated hill#six of crows#soc#asks#one of the things that really bothered me in The Show (in addition to many many many other things) is how flavorless and generic ketterdam#was and the crows costuming was. Ketterdam has so much life and so many good worldbuilding elements that get completely#flattened into 'generic fantasy slum no. 4'. The costuming really pissed me off because soc is especially good at really thoughtful#and well developed costuming which is something you don't see all that often with books and like with ketterdam they basically threw all#of that out the window and went with the most obvious surface level choices and it's like. i see the embroidery on those keftas#i know your costuming team had a real budget and talent so what tf happened here. i know yall are capable how the fuck did you fumble the#crows so badly you literally had a perfect roadmap. its genuinely so frustrating

Responsibility for public health was now understood to be a task for government, not just for working-class women who – until then – had been the only ones concerned with the cleanliness of slum houses, the only ones asking for clean water and working drains.

One such working-class woman was Kitty Wilkinson, an Irish migrant in Liverpool who had been a cotton mill worker and a domestic servant. She opened up her laundry business to her poor neighbours for a penny a week, allowing them to use her boiler and bleach to disinfect their clothes during the 1832 cholera epidemic. She became known as the 'saint of the slums' and campaigned for public bathhouses for the poor.

dear mu qing haters,
WHAT.
i think u need glasses....
because u didn't really read the book did u?
there's this thing called subtext,
and i need to you to understand that what a character looks like on the surface,
is not who they are beneath!
...
original post was discussing the difference between donghua fengqing expressions when xie lian was revealed to be fangxin guoshi who committed a massacre. feng xin looked scared, mu qing had what looked like a smile on his face. people in reblogs were hating on mq even tho we all know what this man went thru and how FLAWED his reaction is what makes him the best character in tgcf :)
stan mu qing <3
#mu qing#chewy chews#people when characters aren't perfect and don't always act according to How You Should React To Certain Situations guide: :0 ?!#mu qing lived thru a massacre. people in xianle were killed and shit#u think he would b happy?#people from his slum died and shit so did his mom#ofc not!#his character has been accused of doing shitty things and being vile when hes just being HUMAN.#seeing oh so perfect people be accused and exposed made him happy#because lets be fr. if someone who treated u like shit got exposed#wouldnt u b happy 2?#and yes#xie lian was an ass to mq in book 2 and 4#the spoiled mindset was there.

Wanted to share my favorite passages from a book I read recently!!



Something about the way these were written gets me. Maybe it's the fact that I just felt connected to the book in general, but "Lonely children probably wrote the Bible" is such a LINE.
Book is "Lullabies for Little Criminals" by Heather O'Neil
#book#quotes#book quotes#<??? i guess?#anyway#fantastic book#each piece of imagery was vivid and real#I could see the scenes on every page#from the snow covered streets of the slums in montreal#to the dark closet in the youth penitentiary#to the hotel room she left behind#i could feel every fear#understand every shot of anger#appreciate every moment of happiness#its so goddamn good#read this book guys

Conclave (2024) had single-handedly dragged me back out of my reading slum
#reading slum since high school that kind of slum#ever since I read the novel and now it’s the Martel book on gay Vatican#and now I’m actually considering going back into Dante’s Inferno for fic purposes#(Jorge Borges’ essays on Dante are very interesting too)#well done Ralph Fiennes for perfectly portraying a wet cat of a man#and Carlos Diehz for being the perfect Vincent

Our flight out of Phoenix was literally perfect. The first officer pilot spoke with us before takeoff mainly teasing me about my bringing a jacket on board. He was all "are you on the right flight we are going to honolulu so you don't need a coat" That pilot was freaking hilarious. I had so many airplane questions for him which he answered all of them but wouldn't let me help fly the plane which I have experience with flight simulator. He said I needed more simulator time.🤭
#anywho we saw him again at his hotel which my gf asked him if American Airlines booked them all at Alohilani hotel#which he responded with “crap does it look like we are slumming?” 😆 I loved him so much

The Paris slums are a gathering-place for eccentric people - people who have fallen into solitary, half-mad grooves of life and given up trying to be normal or decent. Poverty frees them from ordinary standards of behaviour, just as money frees people from work.
