Thoughts on domijeanne in the story / any theories?

I love DomiJeanne!! They're super cute and I'm absolutely a canon (or at least implied canon) queer truther for both of them

Not doing real meta tonight, but there's some real fascinating prince/princess/knight stuff going on with them. Dominique is both a prince and in need of rescue by a prince. Jeanne is an executioner/witch and also sleeping beauty and ALSO a knight in shining armor. The scene of Jeanne saving Domi when she falls is everything to me for this reason (also it slaps in general)

Tell me about your favourite foods to cook and to eat. (Good luck with your standing around doing nothing)

Stir fry!! I love making stir fry so much. It's a good time and it's goddamn delicious. Vegetables forever <3

Trans truths #10– speed round

What can you do for an instant refresh? Most of these are best done at home, but, even in a pinch, they can make a whole lot of difference.

Comb your burns— if you have short hair, or if you have any side lying facial hair, slick your sideburn areas downward, either with your fingers or a handy pocket comb. If you wear glasses, this is especially useful if you want to look masc, professional, and ready to go.

That one hair sticking up? As long as it’s *tiny,* don’t hesitate to trim it off. If you have short hair or if you use gel/product, get yourself looking good to go, then grab that little cowlick and chomp it with moustache or hairstyling scissors.

Do your brows— If you don’t have gel or a mascara wand or anything, just use your fingers or a rattail comb to swish the little hairs the opposite direction- as in, not smooth. You’ll need touch-up to fix individuals by looking in a mirror and poking them with your fingertip. If you have sparse, pale, or thin brows, this is especially helpful on the masculization front.

Un-bunch your pockets— if you’re wearing clothing with pockets, stand up and flatten them inside and out. If you’re packing, take care, but unfortunate butt bulge or front folding is helpful for calming passing-anxiety.

Put things where they go— Sunglasses are on your face or the front of your shirt. Not your head. (The lenses get hair oil on them, and the nosepiece messes with your ‘do. Your bag is on your shoulder(s) or cross-body, not in your elbow kink. Wallet goes in the back pocket (if available), not the front. Phone goes in the other back pocket. Even better? Phone wallet. Then you’re set with 2 for 1. Keys go in the front pocket where they don’t get lost (they don’t mess with your load, trust me.)

Raise your chin. Posture is hard to keep in check with binding, so watch the angle of your chin to sternum and hairline to spine.

Ahem…

Speed Round 2:

The Democrats are already planning to not certify the 2024 election… Rep. Jaime Raskin (D. MD) is already calling for riots.

They burned up Maui and huge swaths of California with overhead DEW lasers. They rioted and burned America during fake-outrage riots over the drug overdose-death of a known criminal. They brought us COVID 19. They toxified part of Ohio with a train derailment. They flooded the Appalachians with a very unlikely hurricane which has turned red, Trump supporting areas into what will likely be very non-voting zones

… and now these assholes are threatening us??!!

A reminder: politicians are actually public servants that work for us. They serve us; we do not serve them. Politicians do not tell us who we may or may not elect

… and if our politicians are telling us who we may or may not elect, it is likely due to those politicians being corrupt, Luciferian kid-touchers who are trying to hide a ton of shit from us

Dream Team is going to turn 10 this year, so a decade passed with me giggling at Luigi on the bottom screen doing a little jolt in his sleep whenever I jump.

Also; headcanon that he has been nothing but sleepy since he arrived on the island and Mario is constantly worried Luigi's gonna fall flat on his face during battles in real life/is hurting him while traveling through his dream world.

Would you prefer the theory of Vanitas surviving (the identity of "Vanitas" dying and he himself living on) or Vanitas actually physically dying? The entire point of the series is the inevitability of death, but if it's possible for the man himself to survive the series, would you prefer that? I'd imagine it's kind of hard to get the point across if he doesn't die, but it could be an interesting approach to take if possible.

I'm very much a Vanitas dies for real girlie. Actual meta reasons aside, I just love a good tragedy

[tethered-heartstrings]

I listened to the audio at the end of aperitif and counted nine gunshot sounds, which means Will shot Hobbs once for every girl he victimized; 8 dead with Abigail as his ninth.

My personal takes for each of the Nevermore characters

Lenore Vandernacht

Gets bitches

Mad Dad Energy

So Gender she made you fluid

If adhd was a Poe themed lesbian

Would prob swindle people out of a LOT of money as a banker or smth with her charm alone

but her real vocation is as Annabel's trophy wife

Too much rizz for her own good

Number #1 the most loyal and protective ever, will murder and pillage and die for the ones she loves

Literally Died and still can't take a hint that her WIFE might like her back

Looks iron deficient, really isn't

Annabel Lee Whitlock

Actually has no idea wtf she's doing

Possessive Bitch to an extreme (would prob sow herself to the ends of Lenore's gay little victorian blazer if she could)

If anxiety/depression was a person AND a villain origin story

Untrustworthy but in a Sexy Way

Doesn't know how to Humanly Interact

Would make a BANGER of a politician or lawyer (still deciding if for good or evil 🤔)

Genuinely Absolutely needs professional help but fuck it we ball

Is taking this whole thing somehow more and less seriously than everybody else

Craves and Yearns and Aches to be cared for and loved but will admit it over her cold thrice-dead body

Doesn't look iron deficient, totally is

Duke

There's a 50/50 chance he's not actually French and just fucking with everybody

Can't grow a beard

The real reason he doesn't like Annabel is that he absolutely despises the British

Illusionist by trade, jackass by passion

Loves cheese to an ungodly degree

Ada

Worries everybody around her

Literally Died and still on her bullshit

Can't spot a red flag to save her life (ironic bc it's prob how she died)

Will Not Stop Talking

Pluto

Teddy Bear in spirit/cat in body/Tortoise at heart

Has either all the chill or never had a chill ever

Needs a booster seat to eat at restaurants

Hates dogs

Cannot survive without his friends

Really selective eater

Morella

Can be swiftly and effectively peer-pressured into anything

Got mad once. Still feels bad about it

Feels actual, physical pain at the idea of not being liked

Asks people if they have pets before asking for their name

Consumes a preposterous ammount of sugar

Eulalie

Will sage u if ur vibes aren't right

Got kicked out of a paranormal investigation team for asking the ghosts weird questions

Actually the only one who prob knows what's up

But has decided to just let it play out for funsies

Has correctly diagnosed everyone behind their backs

Berenice

#cuntsagainstthepatriarchy

Misses alcohol the most since her death

Will bite men for looking in her direction 😌

Always there to defend a fellow woman tho

Has the vibes of a pinball machine

Actually genuinely a caring and loving person

Prospero

Done with everybody's bullshit

Superiority complex to an EXTREME

His whole closet is organized by color, season and year of making

Just trying to get through one fucking book this whole time

Has incorrectly diagnosed everyone behind their backs

Held a puppy once. Didn't like it
