I love your defense of Kristina! Like one thing that drives me crazy is how people frame that fact that she’s dismissive of willie and Simon’s relationship in season 1 but i don’t think it’s that unreasonable! Like idk as someone in their mid twenties when I think of teenagers in relationships I doubt most will be together forever. I think it’s reasonable for kristina to question if her sons relationship of a few weeks is worth outing himself when he might regret it later. As the audience we’re obviously rooting for willie and Simon but her advise of denying his involvement in the video in season 1 is to protect her son while he’s already gone through so much. Could she be more understanding? Yes, but she isn’t abusive like a lot of fics make her out to be. Like she’s a realistic mother. She loves her son but doesn’t understand what’s going on in his life completely.

thank you <3 and also YES! THIS!!!

like. it is reasonable to me that she would do whatever she could to cover it up because yes it's traumatic that it happened and covering it up won't get rid of that trauma at all, which im sure she knows, but it will help shield her son from more harm and trauma around it. and no, she wasn't really thinking about Simon or how he couldn't get out of it, but she doesn't know Simon, and Simon isn't her son. her top priority in this is protecting her kid.

and i love your point so much about her doubt in their relationship. we have to keep in mind that while we see Simon and Wilhelm falling in love and we see how much they care about each other, Kristina doesn't. for her, this is completely out of left field!! she didn't know about Simon at all before this!! she knows nothing other than what we can assume that the royal court found out for her, and we can assume that Wilhelm probably didn't tell her much more. i'm only 20, so i am barely not a teen myself, but i know that a lot of teen relationships don't last.

it's not unreasonable for her to have her doubts, and as bad as it sounds, her doubts about Simon specifically bc of his upbringing and her doubts in Wilhelm's ability to realize the possibilities that Simon is only with him for status aren't crazy. they would be a natural conclusion considering she doesn't know Simon. she has no reason to believe that it's anything other than simple infatuation or worst-case gold-digging.

she definitely could have been more understanding. for sure. she could have listened to Wilhelm, put more trust in his words when he told her he wanted to be with Simon. but it's not strange or crazy or evil of her to have not. we praise the show for how they portray teenagers!! let's not start to shit on it for portraying how adults react to teenagers too.

Get to know you game! Answer the questions and tag 9 people you want to know better.

I was tagged by @captainhunnicutt (thanks!).

Last song I listened to: "Ghost River" by Nightwish. Such conflicted feelings to this band. Admittedly, they were one of two that got me through grad school, but firing Tarja and Anette, losing Jukka and Marko... I don't know.

Currently Reading: Okay... so... how much I read is based on two factors. How much work is interfering with things and where my headspace is. And, uh... yeah. I'm really behind on 3 series. The last book I read was Unbreakable by Mira Grant. I need to catch up on the Wayward Children and InCryptid series by Seanan McGuire. And a whole bunch of others on my to-be-read pile (spreadsheet).

Currently Watching: In terms of anime, Nana. In terms of movies, this weekend if John Wick 2 through 4 and probably The Glass Menagerie since Sam Waterston is in it. Live action TV: I tried Bates Motel and I stopped after six episode. I'll try to get back to it.

Currently obsessed with: *gestures at mess of a blog* Arcane, Blue Eye Samurai. Pretty much been, "No thoughts, only Arcane/Blue Eye Samurai."

Stop talking about Simon on the bus I will fight you

I am once again asking where the hell Walter is 

Micke good father arc? Excuse me?

NOT A SINGING ARC STOP 

OH THEY’RE MAKING OUT NOW 

I literally can’t tell if I hate this or not. Wilhelm please quit choir everyone is begging you 

Fredrika being so depressed because she doesn’t have a cellphone is peak comedy 

I THINK IT WAS NILS. OH THEY KNEW HE WAS GAY BECAUSE OF HIS INITIATION 

NO NOT NILS CRYING OMG 

Oh my god. Oh my god. 

Damn didn’t think I’d feel bad for August but let the bitch run you know? 

August please don’t electrocute yourself it’s not worth it 

Oh he’s just gonna call Sara never mind 

AUGUST OMG STOP MAKING ME FEEL BAD FOR YOU 

OH THEY’RE GONNA FIGHT 

NO LET THEM FIGHT MORE PLEASE IM BEGGING 

DID SOMEONE SEND HIM CONVERSION CAMP SHIT?! 

I’m gonna murder someone actually

Don’t post it Simon don’t post it Simon don’t post it Simon

Well fuck 

I TOLD YOU NOT TO POST IT SIMON 

oh maybe it was ok

Oh damn Vincent called out 

Oh damn August called out 

People are gonna call Wilhelm selfish for this but I think it’s totally valid for him to be upset that Simon doesn’t care about his feelings rn I also think it’s valid for Simon to be distracted as he’s thrown into a world he doesn’t understand yet. I think they’re both selfish in this moment. 

WILHELM QUIT CHOIR IM BEGGING YOU

Malte’s ability to shapeshift into this shitbag needs to be studied

Linda begging you to read the room

I’m convinced they’re reading fanfic at this point I’m not able to think of any other explanation for some of this 

“Class Bad Boy” is August. Oh god if they only knew

It Was Never What It Seemed

My latest Bagginshield fic is now up.

This has een almost a years work of sweat and tears and I have @sunnyrosewritesstuff to thank for being the best cheerleader I could ever ask for.

This fic can get a bit heavy, so please do mind the tags, but this has come from deep within e ad I hope you all enjoy it.

A03 link here

Summary: It has been 8 years since Bilbo has lest stepped foot in Erebor. He needs to talk to his husband, especially as he is now about to marry another. Another who is not Bilbo.

Bilbo left and when he did he left Thorin broken hearted. Now he is to marry a Blakcklock Princess, consequences be damned.

Follow along with our favourite dwarf and hobbit as they find their way back to one another, No matter how painful the journey is.

And as always a snippet:

Bilbo waited until Anette (the same worker he had hired all those years ago to man his stall when someone who could recognise him came by and who still worked with him) came back from where she had been trying to get a closer look. They were chatting away when Bilbo asked who the new dwarves were. “Oh, their Blacklock dwarves. From the Orocarni mountains,” she eagerly answered him. Bilbo scrunched up his nose. “But those mountains are so far away from here, that’s a long way to trade,” he thought out loud. Annette laughed at Bilbo’s obliviousness. He was usually much more up to date with his gossip than this, wielding it like a weapon when he was in the market with the other traders. “Well, they aren’t here to trade,” she said with a smile. At Bilbo’s questioning noise, she continued. “Rumour has it they are here for a wedding.” Bilbo’s head spun. “Who’s wedding?” He wouldn’t believe that Thorin would make a political alliance with their boys, but that was the only reason for such a large delegation to come. A royal wedding. Bilbo closed his eyes and hoped Fili or Kili weren’t being married off. After all, surely their mother, the Princess Dis, wouldn’t allow that to happen. Annette laughed at him again. “Silly dwarf, how are you so far behind? The rumours about the King’s wedding are all everyone has been talking about for months,” she said with a smile. Bilbo felt his whole body freeze. The King’s wedding. The King couldn’t have a wedding. Thorin couldn’t marry a strange dwarf. Thorin WOULDN’T marry a strange dwarf, right? Annette looked at him, shocked at his obvious reaction. Bilbo’s face was screwed up in confusion, and if she didn’t know better, Annette would have thought in pain.  “Aren’t you pleased your King has found a worthy spouse?” She asked. “Especially after all thought him craft wed for so long.” Bilbo had to snort at that. Thorin wasn’t craft wed, he was as far from craft wed as a dwarf could get. He just hadn’t met his One until he walked through a bright green door in The Shire. Those kisses, touches, looks, caresses, and more were not those of a dwarf playing around or just having a quick fumble. They were of a dwarf, madly in love after so many years of believing he would be alone until he returned to the stone. Bilbo felt his tears trickle down his cheeks as he turned away from his friend, unable to continue the conversation and not caring how rude it may look. He somehow composed himself enough to see out the last hour or so before explaining that he felt unwell and had to return home. After packing up early, he made his way home with all haste. He needed to return to Frodo and speak to him. They had things to do.

Also just because I think it is brilliant, until today and posting the completed fic, the title was "You're Still Married, Stupid Dwarf," and that baout sums Thorin up, lol.

I hope you enjoy <3

I'm sorry but tano had 3 games to make rotations and see other players, we have to be thankful that there were no injuries, playing the same players in 4 consecutive games is bad, we know he doesn't trust anette, he doesn't trust ivonne, he doesn't trust wendy, but we will probably play pachuca 3 times and we need all the players to be on their 100% if we want to get to the final.

I'm halfway through S1, Episode 3.

Anette is my baby angel queen warrior princess.

She can do whatever she wants, murder? Totally justified your majesty, here is the key to the city.

I can't believe I almost missed out on this. Alucard might be my baby girl but but Anette could shoot me and I'd thank her.

Richter is an okay run of the mill protagonist, but he has absolutely nothing on my girlboss.

Honorable mention/shout-out to Maria for being a feisty little pokemon trainer, her and Anette are going to be the best of friends and I can't wait to see how their relationship develops.

Love the sibling bullying going on between Maria and Richter, lol.

Tera is honest to god such an intriguing side character in her own right, poor woman is traumatized interestingly.

Eduord, I knew you for five minutes, but I'm sad about your death regardless 😢

You seemed like a really stand up guy.

The vampire slave master can kiss my shitty ass and go explode in the sun, can't wait for Anette to kill him and get her revenge.

The Abbott can also kiss my keester, he is SLIMY and makes me nervous. Ew.

Julia why????????? You could've been so much more fun if you'd lived, why'd you have to f around and find out with Olrox?????

Olrox baby you're so suave, so done with everybody else's shit, you deserve a nice long ⚰️ nap honey. Step on me.

Mizrak kind of gives of Hulk Hogan energy and wet cat energy at the same time and I don't know what to do with him yet 😔

I wasn't originally going to watch the entirety of S1 of Nocturne since Alucard won't be a major character until S2, but my friend said that it was worth it for Annette.

So here we go I guess, I'm doing it for Annette.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love ❤️❤️❤️!!

Aaaaah, omg, omg, let me see ...

One of a handful The first time Death meets Steven Rogers, the sky is a sickly yellow with a tinge of grey heartache. - 5 times Death meets Steven Rogers. [The Avengers/The Book Thief crossover]

I still remember how this one jumped at me while I was standing at the bus stop, like it was meant to be written. It just really needed to be out there.

Wir könnten die Größten sein "Der Test ist kein Wettkampf. Es ist ein Dialog. Man sollte meinen Sie als Autor, wüssten, was das bedeutet." [...] "Also gut." Schiller trat vor, hob Charlottes Stab auf und wog ihn abschätzend in der Hand, bevor er ihn Johann entgegenhielt. "Zeigen Sie es mir." [Friedrich Schiller/Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Pacific Rim AU]

Idk, I just had so much fun writing it? There's also an English translation (linked in the fic itself)!

FourFiveSeconds from wildin' The one where Louis and Liam meet through a Tinder-style fighting app. [LiLo, One Direction, Fighting AU/kind of Fight Club AU]

I know the premise sounds a bit outlandish, but I really have a soft spot for it, because it's kinda personal. It's a little bit fucked-up, a little bit ache-y and a little bit hopeful all at once.

Conversations in the Void Tony and Steve are not on speaking terms, but that doesn't stop Tony from calling him. [Steve Rogers/Tony Stark, The Avengers, set between Civil War and throughout Infinity War]

What can I say? Superhusbands will be forever my OTP and I actually like this one. Did I also write this to have one of them say "It wasn't worth it"? MAYBE. still salty they never brought this quote in the movies

Der König und sein General Leo ist ein russischer Gangboss, Adam ist seine rechte Hand. Esther und Pia ermitteln. [Leo Hölzer/Adam Schürk, Pia Heinrich/Esther Baumann, Tatort Saarbrücken, Mafia AU]

This series was literally a brainfart I had in the car while picking up food for lunch. I spent 2 days writing the first part and it's been haunting me ever since. I'm currently trying to write the next installment and progress is slow af. But I love this series, by god, I love it and it's still my baby. And the first 3 parts are good, so read them.

[kmwonpil]

8 and 11 for the talk about asks :))

8: Talk about the thing you are most proud of.

There are some things I’m proud of, but I don’T think there is anything I’m like most proud of. Im proud of myself, that I managed to move out and in with my best friend so I can distance myself from my family.I’m proud of myself for still being in university and doing my best even tho I sometimes struggle.I’m proud of myself for helping students through their final exams.I’m proud of myself for still going strong in life, no matter what I faced so far.

11: Talk about the best dream you’ve ever had.

There are 2 dreams I had before meeting Ateez that I would consider my two best dreams. They are both in my Masterlist or here: 1, 2

Other than that I had a nice dream a few days ago about Ateez coming back to Berlin to do another fansign and inviting the 100 atiny who were there the first time they visited here ^^

Sadly other than that I don’t have that many good dreams ._.

Let me talk about what you wanna know

[chanyoungies]

Hi don't mind me I am stopping by to wish you a wonderful day I hope the weather is however you like it and I hope people will treat you with kindness and you smile a lot today ♥️♥️♥️♥️

HI YOU’RE SO SWEET I MIGHT CRY?? thank you so so so much i hope your day was (/is?) just as amazing!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Takemiya Keiko's Hensoukyoku

During a Takemiya discussion in a homo thread, an anon made an excellent post, after which I had to read Takemiya's Hensoukyoku (変奏曲, Variation).

"Don't read if you don't want spoilers!" is what I want to say, but I'm making this post for noting things down for myself and giving spoilers anyway, so go ahead or leave.

I'd like to thank anon once again for exactly knowing how to get me interested in a title. I hope we cross paths again.

I'm a basic newcomer old shoujo fan and I have only read part of Kazeki from the original, so I was pretty optimistic going into Hensoukyoku. Well, it was harder to read than I thought it would be. In particular, I wanted to kill myself every time Bob (aka "this guy") opened his mouth. Maybe that's because I was trying to translate things in my mind while reading it, which I shouldn't have done. Assuming that my linguistic skills would be enough to translate Takemiya is ridiculous.

I like volume 1's cover so much that I eventually want to buy this edition. By the way, a strange thing I noticed about Takemiya's works: Not all of them are available on regular e-book sites. I wanted to buy the digital editon because it'll be some time before I can import something from Japan, but it was on sale only on EBJ, and EBJ doesn't even let baka gaijins like me to register to their site. So your only chance is to ask someone who already has an account there, or go physical. We are being forced into piracy here, Japan.

But what's it about? You have this Austrian child prodigy, Wolfgang Richter, and this Spanish rebellious violinist boy, Eduardo Soltie. Their love for music brings them together, and we accompany them on their journey for about 20 years in 3 (in the bunkoban version, 2) volumes. While the two has the BL attraction towards each other, but to me, it felt like theirs bordered on bromance as Eduardo is very much in love with Anette, Wolfie's sister, and constantly busy being gay with Bob, and Wolfie marries his childhood friend before anything goes anywhere between those two and dies (of course, he has his own obligatory Bob phase). I expected to see a tragic love story between Wolf and Ed just looking at the random images from the manga, but was denied. But forget them, and just remember this: Every boy in this story wants Bob.

If you are a male under the age of 20 and you can resist the charms of this man, congratulations. You probably have some sort of disease, because this man is a walking bishounen magnet.

"Please, don't say anything to my mother." - Yes Nino, if I was your mother, I wouldn't want to know that the guy who boned my dead brother and my cheating, failure-of-a-father husband also boned my precious son. Poor Anette.

The story is not a conventionally constructed one. We know right from the beginning Wolf died young, and with each chapter, we are presented with a different part of his life. Especially the first chapters can be overwhelming because of this narrative choice, because most relations are established from the get-go, we get no classic character introductions. Personally, I had a hard time processing how the Spanish Revolutionary movement fit in this story and why we suddenly got a cholera epidemic. But as you read on, all the pieces get together and you see the whole picture. Some of the same events are told through different characters' POV throughout the story, a technique I like a lot. If I had to choose, I'd say "Andalusian Love Song" is the most important part of the story. It had the most amount of Wolf, and feels like a "main story" the most while the others (especially the ones in vol. 2) have this "side story" feeling. They are so much fun to read though. I liked Rimbaud to Verlaine no you ni in particular which was about Bob being salty about the newlywed Ed hitting on every girl in Paris.

Speaking of parts, based on the digital edition, they are:

Volume 1

1974: Virentz Monogatari (ヴィレンツ物語-Virentz Story) - This chapter is scanlated by Golden Roze Scans, and is the only part available in English to readers.

1976: Hensoukyoku (変奏曲-Variation)

1976: Andalusia Koiuta (アンダルシア恋歌-Andalusian Love Song)

Volume 2

1978: Koutei Enbukyoku (皇帝円舞曲-Emperor Waltz)

1978: Variation (ヴァリアシオン)

1979: Itoko Doushi (いとこ同志-Cousins)

1981-2: Kanon (カノン-Canon)

1979: Nino Alexis-Sono Tabiji (ニーノ・アレクシス　その旅路-Nino Alexis's Journey)

1975: Tsubakiyakata no San Akunin (椿館の三悪人-Three Enfants Terribles of the Camellia Mansion)

1977: Rimbaud to Verlaine no you ni (ランボーとヴェルレーヌのように-Like Rimbaud and Verlaine)

At times, it felt like Takemiya crammed a 10-volume long story into 3, and the timeskip kind of feels out of place, now that I think about it. But hey, don't think I'm complaining, we've got lots of bishounen and 70s melodrama thanks to this manga being what it is. Although I would have liked more tears and angst in my drama, I still very much enjoyed reading Hensoukyoku. Here are the examples of the content I want to see in my manga:

-"I will never forgive you if you die." - I wish all kabedons were sad like this one. Also yanderEduardo is precious. Wolf is preciousness itself <3

-"If you are going to die anyway, die in my arms!" - Okay ngl, this really pulled at my heartstrings. I'm a sucker for this kind of drama. Also I must mention that Takemiya didn't give Wolf the "mysterious shoujo heart disease", commonly known as "SHINZOUBYOU", but an actual heart disease that fit his situation. He had tetralogy of Fallot. I asked a doctor friend what this condition was, and she said the exact same things the doctor in the manga said. It made everything extra sad.

Takemiya did a nice job in writing her characters into the existing world, and I can't believe I'm not reading a fictitious story. This is Wikipedia-level knowledge, but seeing how Takemiya drew this manga based on Masuyama Norie's (who later wrote Kazeki's spin-off novel, Kami no Kohitsuji) experiences as a music student, this makes sense. My only gripe is that, although the story is taking place in the 1960s and 1970s, things almost felt a little bit 19th century to me at times. But that's 70s shoujo for you, Europe was the fairytale land at the time and no one wants to see the modern world in there.

"Can I stay over tonight?" - It was almost unsettling how much Ed reminded me of Gilbert (and sometimes Marion). But then again, mon pauvre Gilbert didn't get to live until his age ;_;

Once my brain recovers from reading this, I hope to read another Takemiya BL I have my eyes on.
