#tumblr culture was wild lmao

[8pxl]

14 yrs ago i started playing magic the gathering as a kid, and i had the dream to do art for them

3 yrs ago i tweeted about those dreams:

today i’ve released 11 official magic the gathering cards, and it’s honestly so surreal and insane to me! i did that!! i fulfilled a childhood dream, and i honestly couldn’t be more proud 🥹

[mx-myth]

Sitting with my normie friends is so wild because today one of them was like "is there going to be another shirtless man on your phone again?" and I replied "well there's hope yet"

[honeyrisuke]

Im caught up on who gets voted tumblr sexy man these days and i wanna ask who tf is vvoting on these polls???? 16 year olds who only know what tumblr is from memes??? What-

[dadvans]

lmao even.

watching the netflix documentary series on the treasure hunt created by Some Guy, and it turns out to be about how people assign meaning to random things and create narrative patterns they believe to be real based on very generic clues, because their own cultural perspective has helped them "connect the dots," so they choose to believe things are being coded directly from the artist to them in conversations, only to dedicate and destroy their lives as something that was supposed to be fun consumes them, trying to find treasure believing their interpretations of the poems were real, finding themselves to be spread across a wild map only to be usurped and left in the dark when a quiet unknown slips away with the treasure, and then in the OG guys' death the hunters anticipate being left in his will because they thought they got it Right and deserved it and seek damages when they don't get the answers they want and start creating conspiracy theories bc the guy wasn't in their self-assessed "hunter" community. and then logging back onto tumblr dot com.

[donkoogrr]

Trying to do RP on Tumblr is wild compared to other places I've done RP. Like, one person had a "DNI if you ever reference *a long ass list of celebrities and what they might have said in the past*" and I'm just backing up quickly like, "I'm glad you know your boundaries Monarch, but I don't pay enough attention to pop culture to risk stumbling over your triggers".

It reminds me of job hunting lmao my RP resume is not getting any hits

[notashadowbutawave]

i almost posted this on the true detective subreddit episode thread but thought better of it:

I've gotta say… I feel like a lot of complaints people are having about this season of the show don't pass muster objectively when held up against Season 1. Melodrama, "unrealistic" dialogue, complaining about being shown too much about people's personal lives and not caring about the characters…

There is so much unrealistic dialogue in season 1. The way Marty and Rust during their video interviews just come in talking about some big philosophical idea or "life wisdom" nugget in the middle of the episode (nobody talks like that IRL). The scene with Marty's daughter and the princess crown, for example. Marty cheating on his wife multiple times isn't like, objectively "more interesting" than Evangeline's sister having mental health issues or Liz being sexually promiscuous and a mess.

I've seen season 1 probably 10 times and I adore it but a lot of the angry comparisons people are making to S1 kind of just come off as straight up misogyny at a certain point. Like it rubs people the wrong way because it's women. Complaining about Liz and Evangeline going to the dredge without backup but when Rust and Captain America Marty Hart do something like that it's believable?

I don't think anyone's obligated to like the season by any means but you can just say you aren't feeling it as opposed to trying to make these apples-to-apples comparisons to season 1 that really don't hold water; I think people are just a lot more willing to accept this type of storytelling when it's about men and kind of has a fetishization/shame angle with masculinity in general. Like S1 is very masculine but it's also a love story. idk. I'm gay so I should probably stick to Tumblr for talking about this show, ya'll are wild.

----

idk watching people who are probably white dudes complain on Reddit that we are seeing too much "native culture" on the show strikes me as really icky.

i recognize that these are reddit comments and not like, actual media criticism but i think it says a lot about how people are conditioned to understand storytelling in general. like there's still so much fucking misogyny and white supremacy in our mainstream media and i realize a lot of people wouldn't say it out loud but i think they genuinely just find it exhausting that they're being asked to contemplate the interior lives of native alaskans and women by watching this show lmao

(that's not a value judgment about how well it is doing at depicting  Iñupiat culture because i'm not the person who gets to make that judgment but it REALLY rubs me the wrong way that people can't STAND even seeing it depicted)

(i think the fetishization of the American south also has a lot to do with it, like people are very willing to accept the aesthetic style of the American south as a vehicle for crime/mystery/possibly supernatural storytelling because it really doesn't challenge any conceptions they might have about the genre) (it helps that Woody Harrelson and Matthew McCounaughey are native southerners with great acting talent and natural screen chemistry who really took Season 1 to a higher level, in no small part thanks to their uncredited script doctoring. with lesser actors I think the story falls flat as hell because you need them to sell a rich relationship and complex inner lives with their performances because SO MUCH of their relationship is subtextual) (so when people see these great acting performances in the context of a police procedural set in Louisiana i think they're very pre-conditioned to elevate it to an almost mythical status in the genre because it doesn't present TOO many challenges to a conventional worldview about who has power and agency in stories)

like I said i've watched season 1 probably 10 times. it's very good. but it does MANY of the same things that people are complaining about regarding season 4/night country in terms of showing a lot of relationship/sexual drama for the leads and their Tragic Pasts. they just don't like it. which is fine. i just think it's a disingenuous angle to approach criticism of the show.

like if any actor other than McConaughey were doing Rust's monlogues in S1 it would not have been very good because it would have come off like self-serious edgelord shit, which is what it actually was (pizzolatto sucks) before it ended up in the hands of competent producers and performers. instead it really comes off like a man who has suffered and developed this worldview genuinely, within himself, not as a way to wield power over others but to protect himself from harm.

anyway....

for my part, i wanna know what the fuck is up with the spirals and the bad CGI polar bear visions and i'm going to be disappointed if it's not just some massive red herring designed to freak people out a little because that's what we deserve.

but in terms of like, the characters' lives, i generally find them very interesting. the opening scene of episode 3 with annie genuinely moved me to tears. annie seems like a fucking cool person and i would love another flashback about her.

i love that liz is a fucking asshole who is constantly being forced to confront her own behavior as racist, self-centered, impulsive, etc.

i love that evangeline is a very lonely person just barely keeping it together. kali reis is putting on an amazing performance. also, for the record, i'm VERY gay.

i wanna know more and there are only 2 episodes left and i hope it sticks the landing so i can write a big actual essay about what it did well from a storytelling perspective!

gosh i just love serialized fiction on the television

Eh, probably? The big blog did to an extent but I would say this and the other gets more “cc based” hate as most confessions can be sent.

The big blog knew that they had a bigger following, so having someone say “I hate Geminitay” regardless if the hate is direct towards her, her fans or her content, that sort of stuff would not be posted. They also banned certain creators being sent asks.

Over her you can say the weird Dream you had about Wilbur Soot or how much of a cunt he is, the big blog? Nah, if you send an ask about him, even if it’s to call him out on being a shitty person, the mods will delete it.

Along with that, the tumblr culture is that negativity stays out of the main tags, so if you didn’t like Prince Zam, you kept your thoughts out of his tags or any tags associated with him like life steal.

But even then that doesn’t always work. I saw first hand someone on tumblr with zero tags AND used under read, posted about their feelings on wild life. They didn’t like the quiz episode for a few valid and personal reasons. What happened to them? Oh, just one of the quiz makers posting a screenshot of that tumblr post to Twitter with the persons blog name visible.

They got death threats :)

So yeah, this blog has more “cc based hate” because where else can you go? Sure I can say in the public tumblr tags how much I hate sapnap and his association with Kick, a streaming website known for their racism, homophobia and sexism, cause a lot of tumblr people agree. But at the same time sapnap fans can bombard my post in defence.

If I was to say that I find ZombieCleo to be annoying (I don’t) without any tags, people can still find my post and throw angry comments at me. Hopefully no death threats or doxing but that wouldn’t surprise me.

This blog has less eyes on it, and so far people recognise this blog to be what it is, a confession blog. If you want to vent about a certain creator, a beloved or beloathed one, there’s a blog right here for you to go to.

And if I’m being honest, 99% of the creator hate on this blog is mid at best lmao.

[shazzbaa]

Please disregard my ask about spoiler tags lmao I was looking at a reblog and not your actual post. Thanks for tagging stuff! It really bugs me how people are super casual about deep-cut spoilers! Sorry for com8ng at you about nothing!

Oh, thank you, that's nice of you! I too wish for a more consistent spoiler etiquette in this fandom lmao, though I look at it a little differently? I think there's a big difference between posting untagged spoilers on your own blog, vs adding a spoiler to someone else's post.

Like, I kinda understand this fandom having a more spoiler-lax culture, not just because Fallen London is a 15-year-old game, but also because its worldbuilding is all so well-integrated that it becomes quite difficult to just talk about the world or your character if you're being really mindful of spoilers! It's one of my favourite things about FL honestly -- there's some actual Reveals, but so many of the world's mysteries aren't reveals so much as just Things You Don't Know Yet. Characters or text refer to something odd, and it feels like a mystery, until you've stumbled over enough references that you connect a bunch of the dots, and then it's just a straightforward part of the world that changes how you see all those other references, in a way that makes it hard not to just, integrate this new information into your basic understanding of the setting. I think it's part of the reason why FL can have such bonkers lore and still feel so grounded. So while some things can be straightforwardly tagged, so much is just impractical.

And, like, not everybody can even DO tagging for various brain reasons, competing access needs etc etc (as an OCD-haver I VERY MUCH understand how something that seems small can end up a huge, brain-swirly difficulty that you have to just drop to have fun on tumblr dot com), so like, all that to say if someone does not want to bother tagging spoilers on their own blog, I think that's fine! I won't follow them!

Anyway, I tag ambitions, railway ("great hellbound railway"), evolution ("evolution spoilers" and "fallen london evolution"), and exceptional stories as a group ("exceptional story spoilers" and "es spoilers"). If I get around to and post about firmament (please tell me nothing about firmament!!!) I'll tag that too. I don't often tag for content warnings, these are unreliable and I think unfollowing or blocking me is your best bet if you really need content tagged with a lot of care! SOME DAY MAYBE I'LL MAKE A PINNED POST ABOUT THIS.

I do enjoy discovering Fallen London for myself as much as possible, to an extent I kind of think the general fandom doesn't even consider spoilers? Haha. There's sort of a General Assumed Fandom Knowledge and you really have to signal constantly if you want to sit outside of that, thus my frequent "no spoilers, please!" notes on posts (because you absolutely might get major spoilers in the tags if you don't mark posts that way, even posts about the middle of a storyline. That's wild to me!! but tbf everyone's been super polite when I DO include the note, so I can't complain!) But this all just means I don't look at the Fallen London tag, I don't follow Fallen London blogs outside of friends who are at roughly the same stage of the game, and in general I think that's kinda the only way to get that experience. There's a couple more things I want to experience for myself, but after that I hope to finally peek into the tag, just enjoy the fandom, and discover things through other people, too. Coming into the game so late but really enjoying the world's mysteries, this is the way that made the most sense to me, and while I've missed out on fandom stuff, for me it's been worth it. I've never played another game like Fallen London.

[googledetective]

the theories that have been presented on this cast + one of my own :)

I do want to mention that I strongly believe this is a prequel due to a conversation I had with a bunch of people on discord earlier. (Everyone was 16+, dw.)

I haven’t seen anything about the first two at all so far, so I’ll be skipping over them and onto the third guy (oh my fucking lord).

(Also this post from @nesisamess helped a lot)

Staring onto the third dude,

(both posts are made by @zitherwaifuus :)

It seems that here this guy has some sort of relationship to XF-Future Tech, which if you’ve seen Min’s side story, you’d know is the company that came into her life and groomed her to be the Ultimate Student. She received special tutoring for them and worked her ass off for that title her entire life because of that. Next, this guy shares the same tie pin she does, and it’s also very notable that she dresses up with the same button down and tie in her MV. Not only do I think she is linked to the company now, but she might be working there before she was in the game. Who knows, though.

Next, I have not seen anything on the fourth girl besides a bunch of people on discord theorizing what the dandelion in her hair could mean. Unfortunately dandelions have different meanings from different cultures all over the world, so until it’s specified about where she’s from, I don’t think there’s many assumptions we can make yet.

Number Five, the purple guy.

Everyone seems to think so far that this is Elliot Cuevas, Charles Cuevas’s deceased brother. Now let me tell you that although I can’t see it based off design, the way he looks (playful and kinda weird but happy) and the way he was described by the creator in the latest qna (a popular joyous dude), can definitely make me see this being real. The only thing that is super far fetched about this is that we know he died a long time ago, and so if this is a prequel, it would have to be at least 15 years before drdt even starts.

Here’s also some more evidence from @sunlit-haru supporting the ‘that’s Elliot’ theory.

Now we’re up to the protagonist, who mind you is definitely my favorite so far. I will eliminate the rest of you protag dickriders so I will be the only simp left.

ANYWAYS, in the about page for this, it’s stated that this is a fangan for someone who wants to be the perfect teacher. Now with the hidden quote on the drdt tumblr page about this teacher…

( @demodraws0606 ‘s post)

Uh oh. I think we’ve figured out who this mysterious teacher might be. As for who is talking to them, I’ve personally got a few ideas, but they are not backed with any evidence.

1. The mastermind from this first killing game

2. Mai Akasaki or David Chiem still

3. The mastermind of the drdt killing game

Whoever it is, I think that these games are surely related and that each current kg participant does have a relation with one of these cast members. And that previous killing game’s end is why this one is happening.

Then, based off the post up top and a few others, people seem to think this is Teruko’s brother. I’m going to give a wild theory (no evidence) that Mai Akasaki knows him, only bc of the red in his hair. Then I think Mai would’ve found Teruko, and she would’ve been trying to reconnect them. Just a theory, though. There’s no evidence based around that this guy might be Teruko’s brother though, sadly.

Last but not least, @1moreff-creator pieced together some of the text on his badge:

I’m just gonna say that I’m seriously impressed with your efforts cause I have no fucking clue that could even be readable lmao.

*UPDATE ON TEXT: holy mother of god, @xmicrophonyx is a fucking god, and deciphered it. Here you go, and we all have got to give a serious thank you to them.

Sadly I cannot link the image of what the phone number gets to, but it gets linked to a yellow pill. I don’t have any ideas on how it would relate to the game, but I think it does. It’s used for high blood pressure and heart failure. If he’s really related to Teruko, I wouldn’t be surprised if he had high blood pressure lmao.

Also, the area code for 555 is just North America.

Here’s what I found on Wikipedia:

“The telephone number prefix 555 is a central office code in the North American Numbering Plan, used as the leading part of a group of 10,000 telephone numbers, 555-XXXX, in each numbering plan area (NPA) (area code). It has traditionally been used only for the provision of directory assistance, when dialing NPA-555-1212.

The central office code is also used for fictitious telephone numbers in North American television shows, films, video games, and other media in order to prevent practical jokers and curious callers from bothering telephone subscribers and organizations by calling telephone numbers they see in works of fiction.”

I don’t understand the first part, but it seems that this is a fictional number. If someone could explain to me wtf that first part even memes, I might be able to give more info.

Anyways, it seems that this guy ended up being a teacher at HPA, before or after the killing game. But I think this was very worth mentioning.

Unfortunately I’ve seen nothing about the next two, but I want to say that the girl in all pink (#8) I think is Felicity Giles, if that’s even possible. I just feel that’s Arturo’s sister. I know, I’m a weirdo. Even if #7 looks more like Arturo, I just cannot see it.

Moving on, nine and ten! If you look at them closely they’ve got the same eye pattern, suggesting they’re siblings, or likely twins, since they’ve got the fire/ice scheme going on.

Lastly, eleven which oh my god, Arturo’s dream girl! But she’s been theorized to be Whit’s mom. Here’s the post that argues a pretty convincing reason of why.

Oh boy. That woman is pretty cool and is very elegant, and has the same shade of blond hair that Whit dyed his too. I don’t think she’s any coincidence.

But joining along on that last little paragraph of this person’s post, it’s starting to seem a lot of characters do have connections to this cast and are seemingly mentioned quite a few times.

UPDATE: oh my lord, @accirax literally went on a deep dive for us and gave us a pretty good explanation and educated guess on everyone’s talents. I’m not going to link it because they covered pretty much every logical point as to why they have their guesses. Here’s the post if you haven’t already seen it https://www.tumblr.com/accirax/728687594893885440/drdt-new-character-talent-analysis

Anyways this is just the sum-up of everyone’s theorizing + a bit of my add on to it, and huge kudos to everyone who’s been making theories so far. I’ll be updating & crediting if there’s anymore notable things that come out.

Thanks for reading!

[mossadspypigeon]

Is that anon talking about my anon message? I'm not sure who they're referring to but to clarify I used "blacks" once in my anon message because i was pretty much directly quoting a white supremacist blog I encountered I'm actually black myself if that wasn't already obvious (I thought it was as l used "us" when referring to black people) English is my first language and I know it's often used as derogatory which is why I included it because I said those blogs had upset me a lot and was kind of trying to express why without using full on slurs because i genuinely hate them as I assumed your (antisemitic) anons were from English speaking countries also I don’t think I even defended or mentioned Israelis in my message maybe they thought I was because i mentioned how black maids are often left to die when there are airstrikes in Arab countries but I actually wasn’t referring to I/p exclusively this has happened in many Arab countries to my knowledge and Israel isn’t always involved in these scenarios also I have nothing against Israelis I don’t support or tolerate antisemitism and I’m not an “antizionist” I’m just stating that I’m pretty sure I didn’t even mention Israel or Israelis in my message I have nothing against Arabs either but I mean what I said is still a fact

(I know that it's easy for someone to make that mistake though if they didn't know it's quite often used in a derogatory way when referring to black people in English speaking countries and I wouldn't hold it against them)

noooo they’re talking about someone who reblogged one of the posts and used the term, so not you! they assumed the person was israeli 😂

it was very obvious to me! 💙

i’ve been explaining in dms why that term is derogatory in america, because elsewhere, especially in other languages, the history is VERY different and it isn’t derogatory at all. even in some parts of america, it isn’t known. it should be.

a lot of this is americans assuming american culture and society is universal. it’s absolutely valid to be upset seeing that written out, but all of these anons are here in bad faith lmao and arguing neo nazi propaganda while telling us what’s antisemitic and using actual slurs themselves. it’s wild.

i really appreciated your message and the context you laid out. no worries at all 💙 thank you for the follow up too! you gave really great examples of tumblr’s negligence with slur usage. also i’m sorry you even saw that shit, it’s disgusting.

[rivetgoth]

This is a niche complaint but I’m actually so tired of seeing people complain about people laughing during serious moments in movie theatres. Maybe I’m the friend who’s too progressive but I think human beings have a very vast range of emotional responses and that includes a variety of reasons for laughing beyond “not taking something seriously” or whatever the fuck these posts are implying. Like let people process the movie in their own way lmao. People made posts about this for I Saw the TV Glow which was wild because that’s like. a fucking emotional roller coaster of a movie (which I mean positively! it was my fave movie release of 2024!) and I soooobbed after it ended but I still laughed at parts of it cuz it’s funny and charming and relatable!! Same with The Substance—saw multiple posts where people write in those goofy flowery tumblr purple prose about how anyone laughing at the uncomfortable scenes are like uncultured philistines who simply don’t understand the trauma women go through as if it’s not an intentionally over the top exaggerated absurdist film………. Now I’m seeing the same thing AGAIN about Nosferatu… as if anyone laughing in the theatre at fucking Count Orlok is some boorish lowbrow compared to You, the Cultured Stoic Who Consumes Movies Properly. It also just feels like it kinda goes against the whole spirit of choosing to see a movie in a room full of 100+ strangers. Like I’m sorry but if you’re that pressed about people laughing in a movie theater you could just. watch it at home.

[sorcerous-caress]

I was the anon that sent the Meluidil ask early today :D Thank you for the content!! I literally read through all the posts, sent your blog to a friend to yap about it, then we proceeded to yap about it at Chili's tonight LMAO

I don't send requests often on tumblr (hence the anon, I am a f r a i d) because I always am afraid of coming off as pushy-but I can promise you if you ever ramble about stupid loser high elf boy myself and the homies will 👁️👁️

I am curious though, how is learning other languages perceived in this world? I know it was mentioned in another post viewers of their porn asking him to teach reader dirty words in Elvish--would he? How would an elf normally view a human learning Elvish? Would it be seen as like 'the whore humans are insulting our language' or endearing?

Is it on duolingo? Imagine she leaves her phone for a moment, he sees the little pop up of a language learning app reminding her to do her five minutes of Elvish to keep her streak up.

Maybe she'd try to learn it in secret, then out of nowhere say something absolutely WILD to him in Elvish during sex. I feel like it could either be the sexiest thing he's ever heard, or she butchers it so badly he finds it adorable.

also I saw other people sign of anon asks with an emoji and i thought that was wholesome, so in honor of discussing elf sex at chili's with a triple dipper ill do one of these

-🌶️

The combination of that emoji and the great Meluidil discussion taking places at a chili's couldn't be any more perfect considering elves' love for spicy food, especially Meluidil.

"Is it on duolingo?" When I tell you I completely lost it. Just for a second I was fully immersed and living in a modern dnd world where learning how to cuss someone out in ancient elvish was a mere phone tap away.

Sadly, no, I don't think it's on fantasy duolingo. Not from lack of effort, believe me the shareholders pulled every string, but elves remain stubborn and have it taken down—especially the high elves are the most vocal about their distaste for their beloved language to be butchered by humans and else.

They're too proud to let learning elvish be easy or accessible, other species must "prove their worth" first before the elves would share their knowledge, and of course, what better way to learn elvish than start with the thickest of books filled to the brim with poetry, prose, and complicated euphemisms.

It's just that... the "dislike/disgust" to "fetishisation" pipeline in some of those elves is far too real, their reclusion is a double-edged sword because now, in the perspective of those lucky few, humans seem to be made for breeding, designed to entice and seduce them, otherwise how would you explain this deep seated attraction and frustration they feel towards your kind? What do you mean it might stem from envy at the freedom humanity tends to overindulge in? What nonsense. They're definitely not jealous of something like that so much that fucking you is the closest thing to freedom they'll ever taste.

Haha...

ha...

Either way, it's a self-fullfilling prophecy. Elves make it harder for others to assimilate into them, whenever someone—elf, human, or else—attempts to bridge the culture gap, it mostly ends in failure, elves really don't like sharing their knowledge, habits, or even language.

The viewers on the forums are another case, they're deliberately requesting that Meluidil makes you say words in elvish because of how sacrilegious it feels, wrapping around to being insanely hot.

Your best bet when it comes to learning elvish is either knowing an elf and harrassing them into teaching you, or browsing sketchy websites full of seedy ads about single hot succubuses near you, and hoping this one doesn't get taken down before the end of the week like all the others.

But you know what you'll find on duolingo? Infernal, oh yes. And it's just 10 straight courses full of misinformation and deliberate mistranslations. Honestly, demons can't believe that they haven't thought of this sooner. The number of overconfident mortals signing binding contracts with them skyrocketing ever since, now they only need to litter the words "duck" and "pineapple" across a contract for your average human to misread them as some get-out-of-jail-free card.

Now, back to our beloved loser elf. If his human was attempting to learn some elvish in secret, it really depends on how you go about it.

Maybe you catch on to some of the words Meluidil has a habit of saying? Elvish is very melodic in nature. It's hard not to be drawn to it, leading you to unconsciously eavesdrop on some of Meluidil's phone calls. Not understanding what he's saying, but finding correlations between certain phrases and subtle changes in his tone and demeanour.

You pick up on the word he hisses under his breath after stubbing his toe against the table's leg.

Then there are the words spoken through breathy whispers against your neck, repeated like a prayer as your insides squeeze around him, making him stutter halfway through his sentences.

It's different from the latin-like words magic tends to adapt. It sounds like the whole language is based on poetry.

Maybe picking up words that way will help make them sound more natural, you still butcher the pronunciation, but his reaction is more giddy and surprised than anything else.

But if you do take the risk and dive in head first into these shady "Elvish 101" online booklets...

There's no guarantee Meluidil won't rush out the room because he's trying so hard not to burst out laughing at what you just said, and he feels so guilty because oh you must have went to such length to learn it, but by Corellon it's the funniest thing he's heard in the past decade.

It's unbelievably endearing. He's getting cuteness aggression and has to cross his arms to restrain himself from hugging you to death because. You shouldn't push a man past his first century into having a heart attack like that.

In the end, no matter which method you start with, both routes lead to the same result of Meluidil offering to teach you some Elvish if you're that curious.

It's definitely not an excuse to uh roleplay teacher student... or maybe private tutor and—Okay he needs to go back on track before his mind wanders further.

He doesn't make a good teacher at all, the man is distracted very easily and suddenly this regal put-together elf is a blushing mess because when you leaned down to read something in the book he's showing you, he glimpsed inside your shirt.

Full grown ass man btw, same one who has slept with you countless times, same one who posted these videos on online human kink forums which he admins at, losing his marbles and melting into a puddle at the accidental flash of a small patch of skin below your collar, like he's a repressed victorian maiden.

Yeah... there's no sugar coating it. He's a terrible teacher when it comes to you. You'd tease him for being a massive down-bad simp, wasn't it for the fact he'd wear that title with pride.

Like oh, he's a simp? What gave you that idea, human? Was it his previous massive collection of first-copy human porn magazines?

Don't be absurd, he's not that massive of a simp. He just... stays in the same bed as you while you sleep despite the fact elves don't need to sleep because... uh, he's just enthusiastic about sleep? Yes, it has always fascinated him as a phenomenon.

No other reason.

-

Thank you so much for your kind words <3 your request cheered me up a lot, I genuinely missed talking about this eccentric high elf.

Hell, I reopened my requests just in case you ever wanted to send a second ask, and here you are!

I reassure you that you're not being pushy, I understand that it can feel scary to just burst in gun-blazing with your request/concept idea, especially since you said you don't send often.

But you're very welcome to, even if you send a bunch at once, I'll reply to the ones I find most interesting! Sometimes, a request doesn't get answered not because the author found it offensive, but because we can be at a genuine loss of ideas or how to approach this—How all Shadowheart prompts got squeezed dry out of me.

Yet the Meluidil tank is still half full, so feel free to drop unannounced whenever you have new ideas you'd like to share with the class about him.

Sometimes, life just gets in the way, I meant to reply to your ask sooner, but December seems to be a cursed month where irl problems are never in shortage-

Either way, I got unimaginably happy when you told me that you and your friend have been discussing my writing! And about one of my favourite og characters! and at chili's one of my fav restaurant!!!

I hope life is good to you, anon, do take care of yourself.

Fucking can't believe I check tumblr at random one day after completely revamping my follow list and blog, and I discover someone who not only loves the Rose of Versailles, but is currently reading Golden Witchbreed. I was familiar with the author from reading one of her novels a couple of years back and enjoying it, picked GW up from an antique store at the start of this year, read it over the course of a few weeks then stayed up until 2am to finish it. Promptly bought the sequel and spent every spare moment over the next two days reading it. I'm fascinated by the worldbuilding and culture, and I love most of the characters. No spoilers because I don't know how far through you are, but for me the friendship between Christie and Ruric is the heart of the story. Am looking forward to seeing what you think of the rest of the book, and the sequel! (btw sequel is available on kindle- it's called ancient light.) Also I agree with most of your thoughts on the RoV movie, but that's for a separate ask.

OH MY GOD???? I think we’re destined to be friends forever (we would find each other in any timeline, etc etc) because what are the odds?? I picked up Golden Witchbreed at a used bookstore on a complete random whim—the author’s name caught my eye because the username I use for most sites has the word “gently” in it lmao, and then the reviews comparing it to TLHoD convinced me to get it. I finished it literally yesterday (another sign of our intertwined fates IMO 😂) and I am 100% going to track down the sequel ASAP.

Overall, I thought it was fine! Not my favorite book I’ve ever read, but I liked it enough to finish it and still feel interested in the sequel. There were parts of it that I really enjoyed (Ruric and Christie’s relationship, as you mentioned), and I immediately become obsessed with any older piece of scifantasy that fucks with gender and/or sexuality (which I imagine is at least partly why we’re both #RoVPilled and also fascinated by Golden Witchbreed). I also kind of love Christie as a character??? She’s hauntingly relatable to me. The way that she navigates social situations and got obsessed with Ruric right away… all I’m going to say is that if I were 14 when I read this book, I would be kinning the fuck out of Christie. I haven’t connected so deeply with a character in a really, really long time.

On the other hand, I didn’t like how many characters there were to keep track of (even with a character guide, I still didn’t have a great sense for the side characters’ personalities by the end, and I was constantly forgetting that Dalzielle/Suthafiori/the Crown were the same person 😭), and I thought it was CRAZY how fast the narrative moved on after giving all of her memories to the Hexenmeister???? The intimacy of that as a concept is staggering to me, and I think it’s wild that Christie just picks up, moves on, and is able to live her life without constantly ruminating on the connection she has with him (and every single Hexenmiester that will follow him until their line goes extinct). I feel like there’s more more for me to unpack/understand about the book’s themes wrt memory and ancestral continuity, since those are things I didn’t really pay much attention to this time around—I was too focused on all the gender going on 😂 I think I’ll probably end up rereading it at some point now that I have most of the characters straightened out in my head so I can pay more attention to everything else going on.

I’m still absolutely GOBSMACKED that you found my blog lmao. We’re probably the only two people on tumblr who have read/watched both RoV and Golden Witchbreed, and I don’t think that’s an exaggeration (unless someone else wants to sound off in the notes of this post??). I will 100% hit you up when I finish Ancient Light, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on the series as well!! I never thought I’d get to discuss this book with someone 🥺 let alone someone who shares the RoV mind virus????

DNI if you actually financially support Kalavinka’s music career. She’s incredibly problematic and has a history of exposing her young fans to topics like su!c!d3, 4lc0h01, and j@yw@1k!ng. I used to love her music but she’s gone down such a terrible route and it’s honestly disgusting seeing people support her

oomfie up in arms rn about getting sent to sugandh kuhara to become an oracle but honestly last time I went over to her place she started rubbing ants on her wings and went on a whole rant about how the magoraka legion’s VP is actually the illegimate wedlock child of the king of the ex-royal family and the whole reason why she tried ascending up the political ladder was to overthrow president daichi and reinstate her family’s power bc they promised her a spot next to them on the throne. then look what happened. so I think she DOES have the gift of prophecy but only when high

Hey hi hello I want to know about the Londor Sisters and their connection to Drangleic lol

A few Londor-related items are very DS2-aligned and their ideology does feel like an evolution/corruption of what was going on in that game's story with the weight of lordship and talks about "the true shape of man" so I don't think it's too unfounded!!!

(Also wanna know about Carthus conquering what remained of Drangleic, that sounds like a fun idea)

Hi! Tumblr killed itself as i was about to publish my first reply i wanna cry :')

Starting by saying that all of this is heavy headcanon/speculation

The thing that made me go on this whole wild goose chase is the use of "Grave Warden" in the Black Flame description, i guess. Friede (and Vilhelm but thats because he's using Friede's sword) is the only npc which can use it, already drawing a connection between the two of them, since they were the ones to discover it in the first place.

Grave Wardens as a category first appears in Ds2 with Agadyne and the Undead Crypt, so we *know* they are something originated in Drangleic (also Grave Wardens are called some enemies in the Cathedral Of The Deep which certainly has implications in my headcanons that my brain is too afraid to dwell on rn lmao).

Per Grave Warden Tome item description, we know that some of the Carthus Pyromancers, after Wolnir's turboimperialism collapsed unto itself due to him dabbling too much with the Abyss, became Grave Wardens, which does imply a possibility of mobility between the two professions and links them.

Since Wolnir conquered neighboring countries, in my headcanon it was possible that decades if not centuries after Ds2 he decided to conquer Drangleic and either pulled the old imperialist trick of pushing the conquered people out of their old professions to replace them with their own people, or there was a culture fusion between the conquered and the conquerors that came there, thus making the Pyromancers becoming Grave Wardens a possible if not normal thing.

A big thing that gets me is that Drangleic, by Ds3 times, is all but forgotten and reduced to a fairy tale, so the kingdom ending up being destroyed could be something very likely

Wolnir was also obsessed to an unhealthy degree with the Abyss, of which the Black Flame, discovered by Pyromancers-Grave Wardens and Drangleic, from the Daughters of Manus to the Dark Chasm and the Darklurker is *permeated* by it.

Sooo by my headcanon this was kind of a perfect storm to awaken Kaathe's attention. In my backstory for the Londor sisters they were those born during the Carthus occupation of Drangleic Pyromancers-Grave Wardens, and discovered the Black Flame which in turn led them to enter in contact with Kaathe, and found later down the line Londor and the Sable Church.

I do think a lot about what you have said towards the Church sharing a lot w Ds2's overall message, and there is definitively a connection, although i still have to settle on what that connection is.

I am mainly split between either it being part of Drangleic culture that the sisters later on used for Londor, or (per Yuria's dying words) it actually being *Kaathe's* idea, which in turn would also may imply him possibly entering in contact with Aldia but there is zero concrete proof of that in game lmfao (and claiming it could have happened because it can be likely if we take my headcanons as a basis would be disingenuous and hypocritical since i complain about lore theorists who do that every minute lmao).

Either way, Londor's MO is something so different from Kaathe's Ds1 MO its almost jarring, so *something* must have changed (I also like to think he genuinely cared about the sisters in his own way but that is another story lol).

Overall, i find all of this puzzle is very fascinating to speculate about! It was a pleasure to throw this brainvomit tysm for asking me about it!
