I need more selkie theon (and asha. I just think that would be a vibe. fuck the greyjoy sigil being a kraken for a moment and let them be seals) content.

like the opportunity to have theon's coat taken by ned when he's made his ward is right there and it is perfect and beautiful and tragic.

and you could build on that depending on the version of the selkie myth/story you're going off of (I personally love the song of the sea version of selkies for story writing). maybe he can't talk without it, maybe he gets sick, maybe his voice has magical properties of sorts.

I have this one concept in my head that I don't have the time to write, but it goes something along the lines of theon getting sick after years away from his coat and the stark kids have to find his coat and drag his slowly dying ass to the bay of seals (cause y'know bay of seals and theon's a selkie so he'll turn into a seal... I thought it was creative).

also, in a lot of versions of selkies, when they get sick, their hair turns white, which is on brand for theon. they're also pretty, their stories are typically soaked to the bone in tragedy, they're normally held captive/tortured, amongst other things, which are also very on brand for theon.

and maybe you get some selkie to selkie telepathy of sorts, so when theon finally enter the water a seal again, asha books it to come find him, cause its been years since she's been able to feel him (I'm soft for them, I will create the most improbable and ridiculous scenario's to bring them together and for them to have soft sibling moments).

all and all, theon being a selkie is something I need more content of, please and thank you.

trying to imagine what a Welcome Home ending would look like (which is extremely stupid lmao considering we dont know shit about jack yet), and it's just... huh.

i doubt it's going to take the "the puppets are turned into humans and they join the real world" route (and if it does, then cool! that'd be sick as fuck!), so what would a happy ending look like for them? would they get a little sanctuary to live freely in? is there a secret world of living puppets out there somewhere?

what if its a tragic ending? the puppets either are repurposed for a new show, or stripped of their Awareness, or become inanimate objects - normal puppets? what if they just straight up fade away?

or a bittersweet ending? they renew the show in order to stay alive and together, but they're forced to return to their old lives & routines? or it's ambiguous and we don't actually see what happens after a certain point - where the ending for the audience comes before the puppet's real endgame; it's not for us to see/know, they get an unobserved close to the story.

its simultaneously fascinating and distressing to think about.

I finished the last chapter of String of Time a while ago, and really enjoyed it! It's always tragic that sometimes a family member has to go through a crisis to get the family together and communicating with each other. I find it funny that North was brushing off the threat of the boar and has to come face to face with it before he realizes how scary they can be. And I was really relieved that he was able to walk away relatively unscathed! I imagine that Keith will have a story to tell of North yanking a tree branch off the tree and smacking the boar with it! I do wonder what the goal of the person(s) that 'borrowed'(?) the magic book on dreams.

ksdhfkashfd thank you, I'm so happy you liked it :D

It's an unwritten rule for the bros to always put their differences aside when it comes to North's well-being. He's the baby of the family and his brothers made great efforts to give him a normal childhood, as 'normal' as semi-immortal beings can give anyway lol.

As for the boar attack, North has been so sheltered in living in modern society, he has no idea how dangerous wildlife can be 😂😂 Going camping with his brothers is absolute hell for him and it shows lol.

And you are correct about Keith. He absolutely told everyone in the village, but each version of the story gets more exaggerated and ridiculous. Which is good news for North, cuz a normal boy shouldn't be able to break a branch that thick with his bare hands and proceed to send a boar soaring in the air with it. So Keith's childish retelling definitely helped North from raising suspicion.

out of curiosity; in replies/tags, tell me what location in pokemon games is one that you "hang out" in, by which I mean visit and spend time in for reasons completely unrelated to gameplay or story. Just a spot where you go to enjoy the music, or admire a certain town design, or nostalgic memories, anything like that.

The new channel 4 documentary on the miners strike is fantastic. It covers different points of view, from the striking miners, to working miners, to the women in striking communities, to the police. It also shows how the Battle of Orgreave on 18th June 1984 was planned and initiated by the police, and how the media (BBC and ITV) covered this up and showed only the police's side, while positioning them as being the victims of miners' violence (which was very minimal to non existent in reality), who simply retaliated because the "restrained...traditional British policing way" (I have to laugh) didn't work.

I also didn't know until watching this that Gareth Peirce, who represented the Guildford Four and the Birmingham Six, also defended mineworkers who were victims of police brutality at Orgreave. What a woman!

I know most people wouldn't like to think about it for obvious reasons, but in a world where, for whatever reason, Sansa couldn't have been betrothed to Joffrey, I think there's a non-zero chance she would’ve ended up with Edmure. a higher than 50% chance, even

I have reached the point of my WIP writing where I'm like "If only they knew my blorbos like I do, they'd love them as much as I do". And then I remember the blorbos exist, for the most part, only in my head so far.

i really should just mute the word 'twitter' on here because i don't wanna seem like i want to defend that goddamn website lmao but a lot of the things people on here say abt it fall into the same "usamerican citizen going 'haha someone actually uses whatsapp like a weirdo just text'" category of clueless because it misses the fact people from all over the world use it in many different ways

Having a complicated relationship with your mum is so confusing. It's the knowledge that she taught me the best way to make gravy, how tie my shoes and how to make my bed. But she's also the one that made disparaging comments about my body growing up and is part of the reason I don't want to be a parent myself and why I moved across the country for uni. But she's still my mum and I still find myself wishing I could seek comfort from her when things get a little too hard but the mum I'm longing for doesn't really exist. And I see her in the colour of my eyes and in the way I grit my teeth when I'm angry. She taught me how to do my hair and how to cover up bruises. She's a part of me in all the good and the bad. And there's no way to say you hate someone that doesn't also acknowledge all the good because nothings as ever as black and white as that

Thinking about the origins of names thanks to the ongoing brainworm feedback loop

Alden: original name from when he was human. Equivalent of a trans guy naming himself John or Mike

Lanius: original name from when they were human. Equivalent of a trans person naming themself idk Tower?? something that isn't a Name but Sounds Cool

Higgins: found it on a research paper he read as a warframe

Keiko: that's just her name! Her parents gave it to her!

Hako: i know so much about the present and future of this guy and fuck all about his past. No clue. Normal ass name in-universe tho

North: this.

Kohlrabi: man i don't fuckin know, i was like a week deep into this game knowing Nothing and i named my lil player character the first fun word that popped into my head. I'm p sure we had a head of kohlrabi sitting on the dining table bc my sister likes those and she was visiting. There is no canon here
