i remember a few years ago i was watching reality tv clips of lee junho from 2pm. and the top comment on one was "out of respect for taecyeon's relationship i will be moving on to junho." think about that all the time because that's so fucking funny
#i love second gen fangirls#2pm#text post#it's very interesting how certain less popular members of a group can become one of the most famous#after more than a decade of working together.#there's also the late-20s/early-30s glow up... see also: yesung from super junior#two very similar cases#i think a lot of ppl have moved on to junho. taec is still really hot though#and he has such a cute smile 🥺😖😵#he's a brick house#i don't really have much of a bias in 2pm i really like all 6 of them. but those 2 admittedly always stand out

i decided to change a little bit about the bäckahäst humanoid form, and realised that they have some superficial similarities to skogsrå, so heres a thing ironing out their differences a little
#fantasy#huldra#bäckahäst#skogsrå#speculative biology#spec bio#pareidolia tag#bestiary#creature lore#lore#(huldras are referred to as skogsrå as well in pareidolia btw. or irl i guess LOL)#(skogsrå is just the regional term.... the huldra and skogsrå are very similar myths irl so its likely its the case there too)#in case ur ootl bäckahästar in pareidolia can turn into a humanoid... it has to do with the myth of näcken#(basically ppl think they are two different “creatures” but theyre actually the same just in different forms)#worldbuilding

It started as a qpr Fabriz thought but y’know what it extends to the rest of the bad kids: I think it would be really funny if they had a complex web of platonic marriages just to reap the financial and governmental benefits. Like “if one got seriously stuck in a hospital the others would be able to visit because they’d be considered spouse and/or legal family” style, y’know? In a “benefits on tax returns and few(er) questions if Fabian (or the cig figs if they make more money?) decides to share a larger amount of money with the others because they’re considered extended family” way, and a “easy to put on emergency contact forms” way. Half their parents are already dating each other, it wouldn’t even need to be a very large friend-marriage-web! Idk man I just think it would be funny
#Kiri rambles#I was thinking about how many legal benefits there are to being married (in relation to how fucked over you can get from NOT being married)-#-and was reminded of the immense comedic potential of ‘make the relationship web EVEN MORE FUCKED UP with like six platonic marriages-#-because taxes and professional adventurers surely frequent hospital visits’#are there probably also laws allowing registered party members some similar benefits??#I would hope so and knowing Brennan either probably or they’ll tackle that next year but IN CASE THERE ARENT I think is would be funny :D#the reason it wa spriginally and Fabriz thought is just because I’ve seen a couple very funny posts about them being platonically married-#-for various reasons but then I realized that A.) Riz would honestly probably REALLY benefit from that financially and B.) I actually-#-forgot my second point but my first point still stands#Fabriz#<- mostly for the blocklists frankly#the bad kids#d20#d20 fhjy#fhjy#dimension 20 fhjy#should I tag all of them? it’s about them all but only partially mentions two…#fuck it why not#adaine abernant#Kristen Applebees#gorgug thistlespring#fig faeth#fabian aramais seacaster#fabian seacaster#Riz Gukgak#kristen chilis applebees#<- her fucking middle name.. you go girlie franshice names

It really annoys me that the writers for the 3DS games weren't allowed to acknowledge much of anything about AJ because 6-2 would've been the perfect fucking opportunity for Vera to make a cameo.
Are you sincerely telling me that Vera "Gramarye Fangirl" Misham would've missed "Trucy in Gramarye-land"? I think the fuck not!
They could've even alluded to her by having a letter from her to Trucy with a sketch attached, be examinable in Trucy's dressing room. Such a wasted opportunity, smdh.
#ace attorney#vera misham#but otherwise 6-2 is pretty good :D#probably my second favorite second case after 2-2#which is fitting because those two are very similar

Mothwing and Hawkfrost
#really wanted them to look similar!! and let Mothwing look like Tigerstar#it’s very annoying that tigerstar’s sons are described as clones of him so I like to make them look like him#(them being his daughters I ate the words)#in the case of these two I think hawkfrost takes more after sasha#haven’t drawn her yet but I imagine his mask marking + face due + dark ears tail and paws + eyes all come straight from her#face fur*#mothwing has some of that mask and the dark marks from mom but not quite so much. and her square fur is very tigerstarry#she has his ears too#something more devastating abt when mistystar exiles her for her father if she looks like him too hehe#it’s so annoying when the books go ‘we his sons can’t ever get trusted’ while they just. don’t expect his daughters to be evil. women can’t#be evil after all!1!!1!1#Mothwing#hawkfrost#warrior cats#warriors#the prophecies begin#power of three#omen of the stars#a vision of shadows#the broken code#a starless clan#design

thought abt focalors + tsaritsa sagau fic bc it'd be funny as hell to throw them in a room together but now its actually got me thinking a little too much.......similar but only in the barest sense and complete opposites..one of them fearing celestia and the other trying to bring celestia down.
#sagau#did someone say rarepair?? freeze team queens#its abt the ideals of justice and how they are both rlly similar and different in both characters#focalors who adheres to justice as a general concept. she wants to do right by her people and her nation. literally the god of justice#she was genuinely upset w herself fr falsely accusing lyney of murdering his assistant#she was very obviously shaken by that in the next trial and was notably acting different#she is trying her best to save her people#whereas the tsaritsa's ideals of justice are more complicated and narrowed.#she is willing to do unjust things for a greater justice (destroying celestia)#because to her its worth the sacrifice in order to bring down celestia. her harbingers r like#not typically good ppl!! but they are powerful. they are useful. ie dottore#its abt the two archons who are fighting so hard to save their ppl (teyvat in tsaritsa's case) that they have lost even themselves#in the process yknow.#furina is not respected by her ppl. they treat her like a glorified mascot. but she still cares abt her ppl is trying her best#the tsaritsa is obvs speculation but she is trying to destroy celestia for the greater good of teyvat even if she does evil things to do so#its the contrast of two people wearing masks to hide themselves from their people for different reasons while also being so similar....#do u see the vision............#also furina is dramatic and all abt theatrics her playing it up fr her ppl aside#she would LOVE the silly little clowns and their theme since its based off a play#was this an excuse 2 talk abt my fav characters?? yeah :]#incredibly funny in sagau bc their personality clash so horribly and also fit together so well u know#that meme thats like shut the fuck up + u wanna kiss me so bad u look stupid or whatever....yeah thats them#tsaritsa contemplates murder far too many times bc why are there two venti's. who invited her#also group crying sessions but its just furina crying bc the tsaritsa cant. furina can cry enough for them both bless#also smth smth archons and their tired old men who work fr them and are undoubtedly loyal#maybe pierro and neuvi should kiss too damn. emotionally stunted old men get some therapy maybe. make out. idk#this isnt coherent in the slightest im sleep deprived and running on one (1) scrambled egg#i need to be put down like a rabid dog lord.#there wasnt enough unhinged eros posting around here i had 2 fix it

I heard that Edward IV and Elizabeth Widvile were known to be very beautiful. Were there any reports on their appearance at the time?
anon 😂
But yes, contemporaries and post contemporaries in the 16th century were pretty much unanimous in praising their appearance. I'll list some of the ones I could find:
Elizabeth:
'The most beautiful woman in England' ('la plus belle fille d'Engleterre') - Jean de Waurin
'Her very great beauty' ('sa tres grande beaute') - Jean de Waurin
"Her beauty of person and charm of manner" - Dominic Mancini
"None of such constant womanhood, wisdom and beauty" - Hearne's Fragment; its author was one of Edward IV's servants
"A daughter of prodigious beauty' - 1469 Continuator of Monstrelet's Chronicle
"Both faire, of a good favor, moderate of stature, well made and very wise" - Thomas More
Edward IV:
"The beauty of your personage it hath pleased Almighty God to send you" - James Strangways, Speaker of the Commons in Parliament
"The king is a handsome upstanding man" - Gabriel Tretzel, travels of Leo of Rozmital
"A handsome prince and had style" - Oliver De La Marche
"In the flower of his age, tall of stature, elegant of person" - Croyland Chronicle
"One of the handsomest knights of his kingdom" - 1469 Continuator of Monstrelet's Chronicle
"A handsome and worthy prince" - Pietro Alipranto
‘...Tall and strapping as the king’ - John Paston, Paston Letters
"He was young and more handsome than any man then alive" - Philippe de Commynes
"A man so vigorous and handsome that he might have been made for the pleasures of the flesh" - Philippe de Commynes
"The handsomest prince my eyes ever beheld" and "I don't remember ever having seen a man more handsome than he was" - Philippe de Commynes
"A very handsome prince" - Louis XI, from the Memoirs of Commynes
"He being a person of most elegant appearance, and remarkable beyond all others for the attractions of his person" - the Croyland Chronicle, referencing Edward a few months before he died
"He seized any opportunity that the occasion offered of revealing his fine stature more protractedly and more evidently to onlookers" - Dominic Mancini, writing shortly after his death
"He was a goodly personage and very princely to behold...of visage lovely, of body mighty, strong and cleanly made; howbeit in his latter days, with an over liberal diet, somewhat corpulent, but nevertheless noy uncomely" - Thomas More
Etc.
I'm tagging @edwardslovelyelizabeth because I think you got a similar ask?
I hope this answers your question, anon! I don't generally pay a lot of attention to the physical appearance of historical figures (I find it pretty irrelevant), but in this case, it ultimately does play a role in both Edward IV and Elizabeth's historiographies for better and for worse, and seems to have actually been a personal prop of Edward's kingship, so I don't mind discussing it :)
#either anon is making rounds or someone else saw the ask and asked me something similar 🤷🏻♀️#edward iv#elizabeth woodville#ask#also (I wanted to make a separate post about this but fuck it I'll just rant in the tags):#Something I find very interesting (read: fucked-up) is how we have multiple independent accounts praising Edward IV as extremely#attractive at the end of his life#Yet for some reason (aka fatphobia) most historians simply assume that he lost his looks over the years because he put on weight#even though his actual contemporaries (sans Commynes who in any case didn't even see him after 1475) certainly didn't seem to think so#as we can see: Croyland Mancini and More all noted the fact that he had put on weight AND emphasized his attractiveness#because the two are not mutually exclusive in the slightest and assuming that they are is not only incorrect it's also deeply problematic#it's similar to how so many historians assume his health was failing towards the end of his life when we KNOW - we are literally TOLD -#that his illness was both unexpected and baffling to contemporaries#(there is a contemporary reference to his supposedly deteriorating health but as Horrox says this is actually an editorial interpolation)#and the thing that's *always* referenced almost synonymously with this alleged non-existent ill-health is his weight#and the thing is - even if both of these were true they still ultimately wouldn't (and SHOULDN'T) matter. But we KNOW they weren't#and so it's incredibly indicative that historians and general histories STILL automatically assume them - and this assumption#is almost always on conjecture with his weight. (I don't think I've framed this coherently but oh well)#I'm still not over Katherine Lewis's deranged and frankly extremely ignorant epilogue in 'Kingship and Masculinity'#she literally framed her entire perspective on him around his weight with some really ridiculous (read: fatphobic) speculations/assumptions#she's even worse than Thomas Penn who is also revolting (and AJ Pollard isn't much better)#though of course they're not the only ones - almost every historian and general history does this

I hate having really pretty visually interesting dreams because I know I'll wake up and forget it and even if I try to draw them before I forget I won't be able to recreate the style :(
#i had two dreams like this last night#don't remember that much of what was happening in the first one other than taking a test at school#but everyone was don bluth style animals (specifically All Dogs Go to Heaven) and all the coloring was done in beautiful pale watercolors#and my second dream was vaguely about Dungeon Meshi and the legend of the Golden Kingdom#(it was a really inaccurate portrayal but that makes sense since it was just a dream‚ i can't expect it to be 100% at all times lol)#but it was done in a really fluid and bouncy vintage anime style that was so pretty (don't know what to compare the more detailed parts to)#(maybe like The Rose of Versailles style? not sure haven't watched it BUT the small parts of the dream were done in old Hello Kitty style)#(i specifically remember Thistle looking very similar to Kuromi whenever they smiled or laughed)#but ANYWAYS i mostly remember two scenes#where we're at a fountain with a statue of Delgal‚ which twists and shifts into the cloaked 'mad mage' imagined portrayal-#and then the cloak twirls again to shift into Thistle themselves in a very fancy jester outfit and then they take a big bow to the camera#the second scene i remember was with Thistle close up to the camera and smiling as they held a little spinning music box of the Winged Lion#and then the characters both shifted again so that it ended up as being the Winged Lion holding up a tiny music box of Thistle#uhhhhhh. i also remember some bit where Thistle was being very mean and laughing from atop the fountain but i don't remember what was said#anyways the dreams weren't that good story wise but i can't emphasize enough how pretty they looked and I'll never be able to recreate them#dungeon meshi spoilers#delicious in dungeon spoilers#just in case lmao?

Some way or other, the pre-climax of Perelandra is also "Man talking with God," in the fashion of a thousand later bad "Christian Fiction" novels and it makes artistic sense.
#I don't know how [authors I could count on the fingers of one hand] do that#Perelandra is helped by the fact that for most of the 'conversation' it is also 'Man talking to himself'#and it only slowly becomes clear that it is more — but by the end the darkness of the night acquires a Voice#hmmm Eri might be interested because the image is uh similar enough to one used by Tolkien at a certain point#as always with the two of them I have to wonder if it is accident or borrowing or some tertiary (medieval?) source for the image both know#(not that in this particular case it is a very *specific* one to be sure)#anyway that and the fact that the set-up is supernatural from the beginning#Ransom is not someone an ordinary man is expected to relate to in any notable way#more like a vehicle for CSL's theories (this isn't a bad thing)#the space trilogy#perelandra#cs lewis#literary#therese rambles

remembering on my circa 2017 booklr I used to tell people to read Gemma Doyle by describing it as trc but with an all girls boarding school / all girl group in a historical setting… I was trying to do the lord’s work she deserved tumblr fame
#I do think that was an oversimplification of both but. Not totally off base there are some similar char tropes used I’m proud of past me for#the attempt. Also I think I’m going to start advocating for Diviners in that way now that trc fandom is apparently quite miserable post GW#you like gay people doing dream magic? you like witchcraft and ghosts and strong ensemble casts?#you like an ambitious abuse survivor getting a healing arc with learning to control magic/psychic abilities as a metaphor? you like four#book series where the first three books rock and the last book which is named king + corvid is a bit underwhelm who said that?#a positive point in diviners favor is Ling x Wei Mei >>>> RonanKavinsky. Generally find the take on dream magic in diviners more compelling#(although LingHenry + RonanHennessy both being mlm wlw duos who are the dreamers is kinda fun)#anyway. This is not actually a fair comparison because Ling is my fav or at least top two w Theta of the leads and I love Ronan but he is m#least favorite of the trc leads of which there are four all of whom I love so it says nothing bad about him. But it does put me as an#outlier re: fandom priorities..#on the flip side while I love diviners dynamics sadly I don’t think they ever come anywhere close to Gangsey levels of extreme codependency#so I can not care quite as much….#from what I remember the girls in Gemma Doyle are a lot more codependent good for them. Would have to reread to compare codependency levels#Ling and Theta are both my favorite in diviners in the same way Blue and Adam are my favorite in trc and Abed and Annie are both my fav for#community. basically one char who I love and overidentify with (Ling/Blue/Abed) and one char I love who in many ways I’m not like#but in a handful of very niche specific ways I also relate quite a bit. And am fascinated with (Theta/Adam/Annie)#s speaks#very off topic from my initial point which was you should read Libba Bray’s books#and in both cases I have a second and a half tier fav (Evie/Gansey/Britta) who I love fictionally but if I was trapped in a room w them I’d#kill myself. with the white blonde women I’d also want to make out w them debatable if that makes it better or worse#but like. I could not stand listening to them speak for that long I know this#Gansey might just die a third time by my hands…

just say bigots just say bigots just say bigots please I’m begging you don’t say __phobes. Or say the particular type of bigotry you’re referring to (even if it takes longer to say/type out. If referring to both homophobia and transphobia — JUST SAY THAT! Please!! If you don’t have the option of taking that time JUST SAY BIGOTS!!)
#Like. Personally? I think stopping the use of phobia to mean bigotry would take a very long time and if rushed would likely badly interfere#with a lot of activism but like. Phobias aren’t bigotry? Phobias are anxiety disorders which in many cases can be quite disabling??#why the fuck would you use a disability to indicate bigotry. and it has a pretty damn noticeable impact if you have a phobia!#I know I’m super biased about this particular thing because I have gotten pretty damn unlucky about certain people’s reactions to my phobia#and half those fucking reactions revolved around this topic in particular#so like. please. as someone with two different severe phobias (and a moderate one in recovery) just stop it. it’s so easy#stop using a debilitating condition to mean something completely different and then be cruel to people who have said condition cuz of that#actually phobic#(also yes lol ik I’ve made this post or similar like a million times before. i’ll stop making it when i stop seeing it)#(also everyone who uses __misia instead of __phobia please know that i appreciate you taking that extra step so so much)

no better feeling than checking in on jackfilms for the first time in a while and immediately being greeted with "whats the next anti-woke netflix special"
#i would think it was pandering if it wasnt for the fact that hes like. had completely respectful jokes abt queer ppl for years#i can't remember which 'fix your life' it was but one of them has two v good ones kshdksbdksnd#but yeah idk its kinda reassuring that such a big name is leaning into it like that#also the video was very funny and im mad that he didnt read out the best of the ai woke jokes#he read the one RIGHT BEFORE IT and then THATS WHERE HE STOPS#explodes and dies#origibberish#also just in case its not clear bc ik i use similar phrasing when im being sarcastic: the post is /gen

#negativity cw#my parents’ anniversary is next week and they are not getting anything other than a 1 line ‘congrats’ in the whatsapp group chat#no gift no party no surprise trip no nothing#I’m the eldest child and now earning so I’m half certain they’ll side-eye me for not doing anything#idfc#it might seem petty and childish but after the Dec 2022 fights with my mom#where for two days in a row she screamed at me for hours#about how I was responsible for their marriage being on the rocks and verge of divorce#as well as a host of other fucked up things#on top of similar such threats/emotional blackmail every year since I was 13#I am never doing anything again to celebrate their Union#I still get them bday gifts and Father’s Day/Mother’s Day stuff#we still have a good relationship (ik it seems odd but despite everything we do)#but you don’t get to spend a decade blaming me for your adult inability to maintain your adult relationship#and expect me to celebrate it once I’m an adult#also my mom has repeatedly and very candidly refused to apologize for any of the above so this isn’t a case of#silently fuming and childishly refusing to communicate

I like the drama the “someone has to stay” great glacier arc brings but man it’s very distracting how they never even address anyone you may have recruited to paradise after the fact
#like i always assumed the first five were the founders and thats what happi meant and anyone else is just a part timer#but thats not what the game actually says. in fact quagsires explanation makes it seem like anyone who joins is an equal member#so its a case of gameplay/story distinction which isnt terrible but it bugs me#i know its so companion mode can work in case you havent recruited anyone else after the first five#but its so easy to recruit members that i think only a small amount of players would have had that much issue#and its even more distracting when pmd2 has a similar problem with the expedition arc#and they DO clarify about pokemon youve recruited by saying theyre not guild trainees#again i think i said this but i think ill clarify in my pmdverse that most recruits are pokemon that need a home#and theyre not officially on the rescue team itself#oh but then what about my idea where kiran and eris are actually the HAPPI founders…..#ok if i go with that i might just axe this plot djfdjjd. yeah they could just hold down the fort#but there isnt the defeated obligation the actual plot has#maybe emolga gets injured and thats why he cant go… or wait maybe the pokemon feel unsafe?#like knowing all of their founders are going to be gone for several weeks#and yknow that probably makes sense too. cause the alternatives are quagsire scraggy victini and gurdurr#and two of those are former outlaws who are still very crass- one is called the punisher- and the other is just the weather guy#echoed voice#pmd posting

on one hand I always feel highly embarassed thinking about anime crossovers with my Adult American TV Shows, on the other I do think of that one extremely well written hannibal/soul eater crossover
#☢️.txt#part of why it worked tbh is bc the world building of soul eater is so distinct that you can separate it from the narrative#i did write a hannibal/beastars crossover bc its a similar case where you have very distinct worldbuilding#and still have a story that is A Crossover. you dont even need to have the soul eater characters there for it to work#that serves to tell stories about characters and how they have responded to their culture + environment#fma is kind of in that category?#its an extremely plot driven piece of media with a lot of exploration of themes#but the setting is distinct and removing it from the equation would change a lot about how you tell the story#anyways. the point here is i enjoy crossovers where its less about two sets of characters meeting each other#and more about putting characters into an entirely different setting and exploring how they would respond#my hannibal/beastars fic is entirely just seeing how the plot and themes would change to fit into the beastars setting#and what can be expanded on using the basis of the beastars setting#which as a worldbuilding and character analysis enjoyer is what i always want to do
