I sometimes like to fantasize about how much Corlys Velaryon would have fucked shit up if Alicent had actually managed to injure Luke in 1x07.

That man had a fleet, access to two full grown dragons with battle experience, money to burn and a pre-existing grudge against Viserys and the Hightowers. He wanted that smoke since the Great Council. And he clearly loved Luke.

It would have gotten very messy, very quickly.

Maybe the reason why Genesis has so many haters is because he's B'RITISH

Oh no. He's far, far worse than that. Far worse.

He's ✨ FRENCH ✨.

I was joking last night that "Bubblegum Bitch" is a Spahr song if you want it to be and that you can make a pretty solid if tongue-in-cheek Spahr playlist entirely of Marina songs (so basically Electra Heart).

So, I made quick one, and it's only a little less tongue-in-cheek than expected:

Note: I purposefully left off songs that I felt were much better suited to a ship playlist comprising only Marina songs.

i LOVE what our share of night is doing with the body (and by extension autonomy) and the fear of the body. the way the initiates are encouraged to be "androgynes," rosario's friends who undergo a sex change, the way as young ppl they're encouraged to sleep w each other and bleed into each other as much as possible in an attempt to have the cult be one writhing synchronized mass of the same approach the same faiths the same goals. and then of course it's all nuclear families when they're done; it isn't rosario and juan's coupling that's so contested but their desire to build a life for themselves--its expected for them to fall into the roles society demands of them to keep the peace and hence keep the violence intact but they not only want juan to live to thirty-- heretofore unprecedented, a privilege that cannot be disconnected from his race and gender--but also want several years with their son before they begin to discuss his potential. they aren't even asking for freedom they're asking for time. and even that is so contentious, not only due to the possessive nature of a cult but also the fear of the unknown body, the desire to clutch whatever the medium has created to their chest and turn it transparent for their purposes, an impossible task. and this is without even getting started on juans chronic illness and how its exacerbated by his role as medium, which ironically is what's kept him alive thus far when no one else would've lavished such attention on him. the double bind of being owned, the curse of dependence. the way the book reiterates over and over how despite his size juan cannot fight. until, of course, the fight with eddie. and then one of the thesis statements is dropped in gaspar's section: nonconformity is only possible for those who are not slaves everyone else has to fight......when everything you do is a means of study, of exploitation. body horror fr

Season five A: Body Horror

[kara-knuckles]

Finished reading Keen-Edge, Silver Blade, and I feel like it made the Silverash timeline way too tight. I was always under impression that Ensia was fairly young when her parents died, and Enciodes took care of his sisters for quite a while. But if you do the math, it was only about a year, and therefore Ensia was almost old enough to be considered an adult by Kjerag's standards.

Break the Ice happens in the end of 1097 (Rhodes Island is en route to Victoria, and there are multiple prayers for the next year throughout BI). We learn there that Mom and Dad Silverash died 15 years ago (1082). But in the manga (set in the autumn of 1089) it is mentioned that Enciodes went to study in Victoria 6 years ago (1083). So this means that Ensia came of age somewhere between 1082 and 1083, and, considering her birthday is the 28th of November, it was probably 1082, the same year her parents died.

You are going to leave Kjerag next year, stop being so dramatic.

The Winter and Spring Dates for the 2025 tour of Wild Kratts Live 2.0: Activate Creature Power have dropped and I could not be more excited!

The live tour will be heading into the state of Missouri, 9 months from now, which is where I'm currently living in for college.

I've currently registered for pre-sales today. I'm yet to find ways of obtaining V.I.P. tickets that'll allow me to meet the Kratt Brothers in person, but regardless, if all goes well, I might have a chance of heading to Wild Kratts Live for the first time in my life!!

do you think Kaneki might ever pray with Amon despite not being catholic himself? just sitting next to him mumbling the words as Amon says it because he likes to be with him

speaking of religion, what kind of faith do you think Kaneki would follow? I hc him as an atheist :) but I think you know more about religions than me lol

Ooooh I like that idea a lot actually I have So Many Thoughts (rubs my hands together evilly)

also this is just a sidenote but i know some people may be uncomfortable with religious discussion, so if you are lmk and i'll start tagging it :thumbsup:

I feel like Amon hasn't prayed often in a while because of his past, but he may still on occasion (habit), and may get back into it properly after actually resolving his feelings with the past. At some point Kaneki starts to join him. He doesn't really know How to pray, especially since a lot of it is in silence, he probably just kneels there and silently wishes for safety for his friends, for strength and resolve, etc. etc. But when Amon starts saying the actual prayers out loud he just sits there and listens to him quietly saying them.

At some point Kaneki might start mumbling along with them, he vaguely knows some of the prayers and has heard Amon say them enough times to kind of know them. Amon is surprised when Kaneki starts doing that and it just kind of becomes a Thing; maybe Kaneki even asks Amon to tell him how to pray the rosary since he sees him doing that often as well (when the rosary is prayed in a group there's one person leading that says the first half of most of the prayers and the rest say the other half, and I think it would be interesting with them alternating like that)

While Kaneki isn't catholic himself he finds it reassuring, while it's unlikely to him that there's someone out there that'll actually grant his prayers it's a nice thought, y'know? It's also just very relaxing there, even if it was kind of awkward at first

I think he also finds the sound of Amon praying very relaxing *cough*

I also think Kaneki would be atheist, while he wouldn't completely deny the possibility of there being a god of some sort he also isn't really a follower of any particular belief system (note: ive actually been informed that there is a better term for this, agnostic, which is essentially being neutral lol). I think Amon would know this, and therefore doesn't really know why Kaneki chooses to pray with him despite this, but he figures that Kaneki does have a lot of things he would want to pray for, things he would want to seek forgiveness for, too, and he appreciates that Kaneki is willing to spend time with him like this anyway.

blowing u a kiss rn @abelas ❤️ i have sooooo many ideas for her life after trespasser i genuinely believe she would be a great candidate for a comic series lmao with the amount of sidequests i have set up for her.....

mainly her priority since trespasser has been learning old/taboo magics and understanding the power that comes with them in a sort of desperate hope to even the playing score between herself and solas. she basically goes into hiding for several years, guiding the inquisition thru decrypted letters between herself and divine victoria (leliana in her worldstate). during those years she goes all over : kirkwall, to interrogate fenris irt his lyrium vallaslin tattoos and their magic nullification abilities, and then staying in the city to learn more about meredith/the red lyrium/the insane blood magic sacrificial altar the whole city seems to be built upon. then back to the frostbacks to train with avaar augurs and learn their techniques with spirits. to revain to study with the seers, to the witches of the wild to study their shapeshifting abilities, to tevinter, to isolated dalish clans, to tal-vashoth, and im sure shes spent time with the wardens and veil jumpers too. just years and years and years of study and practice and building up an arsenal of knowledge while also quietly isolating herself from everyone and seething herself into a frenzy :)

maybe like 2 or 3 years prior to datv is when she Officially returns to the fold as the face of (whats left of) the inquisition. pretty much everyone who knew her is in shock by just how harsh and cold she's become. she was always cranky and impatient, but most of the inner circle understood that she had a lot of kindness under the surface and just struggled to convey it properly. but its harder to find that side of her now. and even if they could, she's too paranoid to let her guard down around ANYONE except the OG advisors . its hard out here !

Aaaaaa thhank you @zitronenmeer for the tag for this picrew !!!!!(*wow I just realized I never even linked the picrew AGH)

Those top 4 races are all there bcs they made me act like a maniac both on here and irl and I've never felt such insane energy ever. COTA, not so much, but bcs I was THERE so it deserves its place(Austria too, but the only thing I watched was the race in person, so I still feel like I'm missing so much context lol) Proud to say that I watched every single race and 20/22 Qualis(mia for Austria and slept past AD, sorry!!)

Fernando will always be my #1 and Oscar my #2, and I don't necessarily root for Max so much anymore but he got me into the sport so I always feel fond for him, and then Lance as my #3 and George kinda snuck into my heart their past few races. Wish I could put Logan at p6!!

Tagging @schumigrace @sweatyflytrap @sorryaboutthelean and anyone else who wants to do it :D

I understand that there needs to be downtime in between important stuff, and if I was playing through at a more casual pace I probably wouldn't mind it quite as much, but man it's annoying have to spend so much time doing stuff for Akame before I can see what happens next in the plot
