We see throughout EAH Briar doesn't really have the same connection to animals as other princesses like Ashlynn and Apple, so I headcanon that she's always been really into gardening and taking care of plants, but until Ashlynn mentioned that line about "plants have feelings too y'know" she hadn't really thought much about it.
Afterwards she started embracing it more, she already loves the outdoors and nature, it could also be a great power for her along with being a hobby she enjoys to do.
#briar beauty#eah briar#eah#ever after high#and we know her home had Gardeners from epic winter#so another hc that they taught her all about plants and encouraged her to pursue it

Time to think about how alone the pale king was when he died. He had lost everything. His kingdom yes, but even his closest relationships.
His trusted friends, who became dreamers, gave up their lives and all for a hopeless cause. His wife was driven away by her guilt and her grief. His child who he had learned to love, he sacrificed for nothing.
Almost every character that we know of who had a personal relationship with PK had either been sacrificed or had left him.
And of course all of it was his own doing. (At least largely his own doing.)
Still he sat completely alone in that throne room when he died there.
#Hornet is the one thing he still had and from her perspective#he was the last bit of family and hope that she had left and he abandoned her and left her alone in his crumbling kingdom#And she deserved better. I'd like to believe he at least attempted to help her before he left.#Encouraged her to leave with weavers maybe.#Either way I understand why his life ended the way that it did.#After everything.#Its just so tragic#All of it#AAAAAAAAAAAA#(Also interesting to me that there are absolutely no in game implications of what the relationship between hornet and PK was like.#and I have my own interpretation of course.#Which is that there wasn't much of a relationship because otherwise surely we would have any implication at all about what it was like.#we get some hints about her and WL relationship which seems very distant#I'd imagine with PK and with everything going on at the time it may have been more so.)#Anyway all very interesting and heartbreaking to think about#:)#hollow knight#the pale king#hk thk#hk the pure vessel#hk white lady#hk dreamers#Hollow knight dreamers#Hollow knight White Lady#Hollow knight thk#hollow knight pale king#HK thoughts

you guys are so funnyyyyyy, i hope i never become "normal" and not "disgusting" so that i can keep upsetting people by shipping controversial ships, because really, what am i doing other than existing? worst case scenario youre right, and i do have personal issues and i am working through it/comforting myself through fiction, right? what is so wrong with that? I havent hurt and wont hurt a damn soul by shipping "weird" fictional couples.
#morality police#travis x laura#so many of my fav pairings are hated so yeah i am used to it but seeing ppl encourage censorship on AO3 of all places is just ironic af#critiques are: that they didnt interact that much. lmao where is your imagination then (i think they had the MOST interesting scenes)#the age gap is too big: irl yes there would be complications and questions of intention and morality. BUT THEY ARENT REAL GUYS#i find older men attractive so its part of why i like him. rather than an issue. im entitled to be attracted to anyone of a legal age.#he locked her up for months/power imbalance: yes tht is true but again thats why i like it. watching them overcome issues is thrilling#oh and that we are all teenagers (am not) that we are psychos (definitely not) tht we are sicko/fangirls (ok well tht ones true)#but i know there is no convincing anyone that is small minded and judgmental. u dont have to like it too but why are you casting aspersions#and yeah im late cuz i waited to buy the game. i wouldve been here in the trenches defending any of you guys tht was getting attacked

Feeling a certain way about that latest bsd interview concerning Akutagawa and the treatment he suffered
(that way is bad.)
#I was concerned about this kind of thing tbh trying to think of how this whole dynamic could narratively go forward#I’m not encouraged that he’ll ever be called out now.#listen. the orphanage director thing I was fine with. It’s fine to cry over someone who hurt you#it’s fine to have learned things from abusers. guy was the only ‘parental’ figure atsushi ever had even if he sucked#and that it was dazai saying all this introduces a layer of uncertainty also#was uncomfortable with aya having ‘learned’ from her abusive father (but you know fair I guess we still pick up on#and recall things in stressful moments. you can still learn from people who treat you horribly and it doesn’t mean you owe them shit)#but this makes me very uneasy and I’m uh. not happy. if this shit keeps up I just. :/#won’t main tag this rn#storyrambles

Being told that I'm not someone my mom has to worry about cause she 'knows I'm not doing unsafe things that could end up with me in the hospital' is a little ironic and does make me feel pretty guilty ngl, but it's also nice to know I've somehow done a solid job convincing even her to not worry about me
#says she likes it that she only has to get after me for small stuff like calling my freind who i havent spoken to all week for over an hour#and yeah i mean im not that pressed over that anyways we bicker a bit and then we drop it cause its never that deep#we actually had good conversation today and i told her stuff i didnt think i would. plus she encouraged me to start dateing???#cvtblr#sh tumblr#$h tumblr#$hblr#cvtt!ng#self destruction#shblur#shblr#tw sh related#tw sh#tw sh implied#$h h4rm#cvtter nation

Friendly reminder that Francesco Coppino and Prospero di Camulio, contemporaries who were literally getting their information from predominantly Yorkist circles, were both explicitly clear that it was Henry VI who decided to surrender Berwick to Scotland.
Camulio: "King Henry has given away a castle [town] called Berwick, which is one of the keys of the frontier between England and Scotland." Coppino: "[Scotland has] received from the same Henry the town of Berwick, on the frontiers of Scotland, which the Scots have long claimed as their right from the English, as the excellently well furnished guardian of their frontiers, and the place to which King Henry repaired as an asylum after the battle."
The idea that Margaret of Anjou was principally involved in the surrender, or that she was the one who actually made the decision, is based on the claims of later chronicles. Two direct contemporaries, both speaking of ongoing events as they unfolded, who were both getting information from Yorkist-held England, both clearly believed it was Henry who was responsible for this course of action. Neither of them mention Margaret. Sure, you can argue that it was merely rhetorical, and that they were simply automatically attributing such an important decision to the King rather than the queen - but rhetoric is nonetheless extremely important and helps us understand how historical figures were perceived at the time. Margaret's enemies would surely not have hesitated to broadcast her involvement had it actually been true, and Coppino in particular had shown no qualms about criticizing her in favor of the Yorkists before. If she was genuinely believed to have been responsible, and if the Yorkists were actually claiming that she was at the time, I see no reason why Coppino or Camulio would not have emphasized her role in their letters. What these samples instead indicate is literally the opposite: that their contemporaries - probably including the Yorkists who were putting out the information that Coppino and Camulio reported - actually believed that Henry was the one making the decision. I think it's a very large and very unnecessary stretch to go against actual evidence and claim otherwise by placing the responsibility on Margaret instead.
Additionally, these small samples may also reveal what people at the time - once again including the Yorkists - actually thought of Henry's role in the war on a broader level, away from direct Yorkist propaganda which would obviously and perhaps understandably seek to de-emphasize it: namely, that Henry was perceived as the one making decisions and deciding the courses of action for his own side.
Source: Excerpts from the Calendar of State Papers and Manuscripts, Existing in the Archives and Collections of Milan
#henry vi#margaret of anjou#english history#my post#I want to make a longer post detailing the clear indications we have that Henry *was* perceived as the active decision maker of his side#which indicates that contemporaries did not really think that there was some kind of giant 'role-reversal' between him and MoA#but until then the gist is:#after Henry was rescued in 1461 contemporary letters clearly emphasize his own actions; they mostly did not attribute decisions to Margaret#we also know he and Margaret separated when she headed off to the continent;#that he seems to have been involved in border-raids against Yorkist England;#*and* that he avoided capture until 1465#if Henry was entirely passive throughout it all and entirely dependent on Margaret to make decisions#I do not understand how any of this would have been possible#Instead Henry & Margaret seemed to have had more of a partnership with Margaret focusing on gaining international support#which she was very well-suited for given her powerful foreign connections#& with her taking on leadership in his absence (mainly due to imprisonment/incapacity) rather than all the time/when they were together#and like I said when it comes to Berwick contemporaries clearly believed it was Henry's decision#but also like. let's hypothetically assume that Margaret was the driving force behind it. please think of this situation logically.#whoever's idea it was Scotland was very obviously going to want a proper confirmation from the *king*#who was. yk. the actual authority of the country#even if Margaret was the one encouraging this surrender Henry's approval and agreement would have still been required#if not by the Lancastrian party then by Scotland#and again this is assuming that Margaret was actually the driving force behind it. there's no indication that she was#but ultimately contemporaries very clearly believed *Henry* was responsible#we don't know what MoA actually thought of it or what her actual involvement was (she could may encouraged it; she may have misliked it;#she may have simply been told after the decision had already been made)#but ultimately even in the most extreme case - which is contradicted by actual evidence - the final say would have been Henry's#it would be nice if this was reflected by historians?

mostly i want yaz to hit 14 because i think having the noble-temple family walk into the kitchen where hes trying to stop his nose from bleeding next to yaz standing there like a little sentient thunder cloud and having him jump in front of her in defense before anyone can say anything like "it's not her fault!" is just a really endearing image
#still holding the frying pan#everyones like okay we kind of caught her redhanded though like weapon motive victim#it was yaz with the frying pan in the kitchen obviously#and 14 is like 'yes but...................................i deserved it'#'extenuating circumstances your honour'#'which are?'#'ilove her?'#anyway dont think she'd use anything but her fists but for the image#wait i just remembered i had her slam the doctor into a wall like right before i got distracted by i dont even remember#dishes#i dont think most of the companion extended family would even like.............be all that mad#theyve got the gist theyve lived the gist#but that doesnt exactly make all this easier#like i think most of them are sympathetic to a certain extent#but theyre not gonna like. encourage. this#and yaz is not exactly................approachable

the dyke drama is dramaing. i am on the floor.
#me when the girl i'm low key seeing can't make up her mind and i was literally talking about ending things with her while her roommate#(who was attracted to me at one point but maybe isn't anymore?? idk) encouraged me to end things with her#and then the drama was apparently so interesting that all of the other queers in the student center gathered to listen#so we had to start censoring names for privacy reasons during the discussion#honestly. i felt like i was in the roman forum. nosy motherfuckers but hilarious that we had an audience.#everyone telling me to dump her. me saying ''we're not even dating technically.'' them saying HOLY SHIT DUDE. DUMP HER MORE.#cricket.chatterbox#going insane rn. shes so cute and adorable though!!#but not good for me#the dyke drama tag

Percy “I will fight a girl” Jackson
#Percy Jackson#we don’t give him enough credit for this#he straight up says in the intro of the first book#he wishes he had decked Nancy bobofit#he fights clarise and gets sewage water all over her#and like only because they ABSOLUTELY deserved it#very feminist of him#he also encourages his mom to kill her shitty husband#so iconic

listen,, i am Not defending all of sky's actions or his personality but he's genuinely just not as bad as the fandom makes him out to be.
a lot of y'all forget that sky is a prince with extremely overbearing and downright abusive parents that refuse to listen to him or treat him with any ounce of respect. and that the whole diaspro vs bloom situation was started directly because his parents forced an arranged marriage between diaspro and sky, constantly telling her parents that it would work out and never listening to sky the hundreds of times he tried to stop it. like again, he's not great, he's my least favorite specialist. but that situation was never in his favor. he was a 16 year old that dealt with strict, emotionally abusive parents his entire life and got forced into an arranged marriage with someone he never loved and was constantly told that it Needed to happen for the kingdom. trying to play it out like he's a serial cheater with some nefarious master plan is like,, really weird. again! not a great person he does a lot of shitty things. but blaming that specific situation on him, a teen with absolutely no say in his life who just met someone he genuinely likes and could love, instead of his parents is incredibly weird to me.
#i just think that entire situation was extremely unfair for everyone involved#and its really weird when people try to make it out like sky was some serial cheater mastermind#like dude no he's a child with horrible parents and no control over his personal life#and yeah absolutely he shouldnt have lied or led bloom on. but also remember that Technically he was in disguise because#Apparently assassins are constantly after him (ignoring that winx does a piss poor job at showing that)#like idk this little boy who never had a say in his life suddenly meeting this little firecracker of a girl that has A Lot To Say#and isn't afraid of running her mouth or expressing herself. And even encouraging him to do the same?#like? yeah id fall in love with bloom too tf#and i feel like people forget that sky told both his parents And diaspro that he didnt love her like. multiple times.#anyway. i still hate sky.#but i hate him for like. actual reasons instead of He Fell In Love With Bloom Despite Being In A Forced Engagement Oh No#like we could criticize him for not trusting bloom or for projecting all of his own faults onto other characters#but trying to say he was at blame for just being like. a teen in love is Extremely weird to me#like i dont think it would be fair to say that he should just. never fall in love with anyone and should just be happy marrying someone he-#-never loved or had any romantic feelings toward#like you guys Can understand aisha hating her arranged marriage and falling in love with 'ophir' despite it#but you Can't understand sky hating his arranged marriage and falling in love with bloom despite it#its so much easier to say you dont like sky please just say that

art students are suuuuch babies dude i actually can't believe all the profs are so nice i'd be grabbing people by the shoulders and shaking them and yelling "JUST REMIX THE FUCKING COLOR WHY HAVE YOU TAKEN 3 PAINTING CLASSES AND YOU STILL WONT EVEN ATTEMPT TO MATCH A COLOR THAT YOU MIXED BEFORE WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS WHOLE TIME DO YOU HAVE LITERALLY NO DESIRE TO IMPROVE OR DO YOU HONESTLY THINK THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU AND THE PERSON WHO IS ALWAYS MAKING INCREIDBLE WORK IS ONLY OUTSIDE FACTORS YOU CLAIM TO HAVE NO CONTROL OVER RATHER THAN WORK AND A WILLINGNESS TO TRY CHALLENGING THINGS
#i actually was talking about this w one of my classmates during lunch today we were like yeah i feel like there's a lot of people who just#have tons of excuses all the time and don't really take it seriously and don't want to actually try hard#like in our classes we have noticed a lot of people like this this semester. and we have the little chat and then we go to class and the#whole time our other classmate is crying to me abt how her paints that she had mixed got too wet? in her stay wet palette bc i guess she put#too much water on the sponge? idk i use paper towels in a tupperware so idk what her struggle was.... 30 dollar palette btw....#anyway she was crying to me the whole time about how she couldn't possibly use those paints and i was like. cant you squeeze out more paint#to correct the consistency? and she was like no i can't remix them i don't remember what colors i used to get these specific colors#and i'm sitting there like. okayyyy. and then i was like can you not just use the watered down paints i think it actually is better bc you#can get really subtle blends and build it up slowly (the entire point of the assignment btw) and she was like no it's too watery even for#that (it wasn't) i encourage her to try anyway and she starts putting it down making no effort to blend in between layers and shows it to me#and it of course looks awful and she's like seeee it doesn't work. okay girl sure i guess just don't fucking do the assignment see if i care#like why are you complaining to me why are you not just MAKING AN ATTEMPT TO GET BETTER AT SOMETHING#what do you think school is FOR#and of course she had a headache. and of course she didn't sleep well. and one million other things. you're not gonna make it. you're gonna#apply for the bfa program and they're gonna deny you and you're gonna make up some reason it somehow wasn't your fault#god i hate to be mean i think it's valid to struggle and get frustrated OF COURSE i do it all the time but i never ever see her just like.#make something. without making up a million reasons why she could t do x better or get it done even CLOSE to on time#and there's like 6 of this girl. but she's the one who sits next to me so it just drives me extra!!! crazy!!!

Not reblogging it for reasons, but I really agree with that person on here who said people are reframing depression and generally feeling shit all the time as a good thing because of the horrors of Gaza. There are people on here heavily implying that you feeling bad and finding it more and more difficult to live with yourself is actually an appropriate response to war and genocide. In some way, it might be. But the thing is, where does that lead? Does it lead to decisive action in accordance to your values, or to nihilistic stewing and self isolation from your community?
The post went on to call it anti-recovery culture- I don't know if I would call it that, because I get why people don't like recovery culture, especially in relation to addiction, but mental illness also. I think that's something I'm not qualified to speak on. So I wouldn't call this anti-recovery culture. Instead I would call it pro-burnout in activism culture. Do you honestly think people who are the most productively working in their communities and participating in actions to help overseas are feeling like this? Or do you think they have learned to use self-accountability and community support to reign themselves in when they begin to burn out emotionally, and rest and recuperate their mind in order to come back stronger? Ask yourself, is that wrong of them to do, because they should be feeling bad, because after all that is the appropriate response....does it mean they don't care, because they don't spend all their time feeling shit? Or perhaps, the truth is, they do care, and are demonstrating it all the time, but they also understand that them feeling shit literally doesn't help anyone. Why can we not talk about or acknowledge this?
#i don't want to make out like i'm some amazing activist- absolutely am not talking about myself here#but i think they key thing is activism is best done as a group and one of the group's important functions is caring for one another#if you see an activist framework that encourages people to isolate from others it's not leading anywhere good- avoid#please do not let these ghouls trick you into thinking your depression and shit feelings are the right thing to feel#or that it's wrong to not want to have them any more#as that other post said: no thought crimes and also no thought activism#it's just thoughts and they don't do anything without actions and guess what makes you unable to do actions? (depression)#by the way i wish there was a better word than burnout to talk about this because it's so associated with work and capitalism#but it's a thing- i have seen it through my environmental activism group over the past 4 years#one woman just cut ties with everyone right down to her best friend and disappeared- we know she is alive but that's it#i miss her. but she had all the tools to avoid burning out and she didn't use them- at the end of the day you can't MAKE someone stop#oh yeah finally the above attitude to mental illness also puts you in a vulnerable place for conspiracy thinking#PLEASE do not become like my dad who listened to his mental illness too hard#and went from a leftist to a horseshoe theory conspiracist#guess how much activism he does now?! (hint: it's 0)

You know, Kim lied to her own clients to manipulate them into taking plea deals.
That's a genuinely evil thing she did, and yet nobody talks about it.
God the neoliberalism of this fandom is cringe.
#kim wexler#better call saul#Acton's Axiom#daenerys targaryen#I defend what she did to Howard because that was punching horizontally at worst#But just because I think what Howard did to Irene was disgusting doesn't mean I actually think Kim is better in that respect#Let alone Jimmy#The whole reason I bang on about Kim deserving a bigger villain arc#Is because we all know what a paternalistic terror she could be if she ever got any real power#“Well Jimmy still encouraged her lying so it's all part of the same thing” No it's not#Lying to people who have power over you is a necessary part of survival#And what I've learned in law school is that even the smallest differences in word choice can be a manipulation of the truth#When someone puts their trust in you you owe the highest duty of care to them#Not to mention the white savior aftertaste of what she did#So yes#It's Jimmy's “fault” that Kim started operating independently of the flawed social code#But what she did with that meager authority once she had it is a completely different issue
