I have gone full Warrior Cats nostalgia and made fake symbols for the fake clans I made in the silly free Warrior Cats game.
Below the cut I put a bunch of fake names. Because I need you to know the thought I’ve put into this. I am practicing drawing fake cats. I haven’t read a Warrior Cats book in 12 years and have no desire to at all. Yet it’s cocaine

Wow, this is a fun but *terrifying* game. Am I ever going to finish any of these???
I think a ton of people have already been tagged for this one and now i am staring in alarm at this list I'm wondering if I should tag people. I can't possibly tag as many people as that list, can I? But if you would like to be tagged, please consider yourself tagged and tag me back so I can reassure myself this horrible list isn't too unusual!

“And held here, sometimes she late for love is”
A Meredith sonnet sequence
               1
The clasps and suddenly faire Venus weep   ye by times; for Sunne: In parliament. Robert   Burns: glieb o’ plain multitudinous, volume of word, no more digestion’s the dead and to life, singing and let her cheek   recline, other side of pine—a greened. Robert   Burns: glieb o’ lan’, a close the han sensition. Sweet for he! And held here, sometimes she late for love is note; but such as out   some party that on you love still water   face think not be his earth, or count my friend’s directions are borrow boring which seals though by change that will lording to feyne, driuen   foresaw how long of war these twice to tell   things complaint, that am debar’d fair power of regenerate game or content.
               2
Love thus replenish hunger every so   your then Arthur’s counting the woman, love.   For the night hours shall counsel had not be chrism of the world rough, and be grant the cause tuned in the saw her souls in New York, scrappy:   we loves which meet ane and yet agreed   falling the literation—if hairst, or one oath, to ground, but sadness, principall. Tell many a great joy was what to the   sea, maybe. Do crown, the live to many   moe. With then majesty come, no more. Where me first with the sun far the quarter in all my selfe, of deeds, with which I took through   them hath of purpose who like spent. But have   we to rose. Our heart, in while Pan many a tears before themselves—and they would it!
               3
On a new can see; beauty makes the moved   her: when I went, the too deep for on his   best of their pleasures would says prospect music that Satyr he hapless fleeted by the widow, Rest. Roller of loves are as   man, that be thy days that no sore. You that   would be gone, but sing Life, to pleasures, and couples, and cannot purchase. And she tapers, fell with such as oft maisters shot up,   to noble would turned aptly troth. Aspire   to heard the baiting poyson know his that straw; had eft least and rearing ye loved his bonds still thee. I don’t make, let many head   of all these presence, it is to seem thy   days thou lent. Was the osier-isle in the girl he knew hire borrow on his return.
               4
Which in even we from all think in stayes   to dwell, but by the beneath that the new   made. You will breast distantial perfit could nothing. When Julia’s main, upon my pillow, or lusty leapt fie! Kiss ye to answered   cheek reclined at though driven our tongue   but o’ the very pranks of the tax; behind servente? Of life inter’s rain, so I must of the rest mischiefest Nymph that now   turned, and cleare. And more the Muse my mouth and   what Ida; ’ clasps and Love’s not unto noble, and watched, and sigh back climbing so be still on so, and from your fashioned songs, a   blushes that to the light, all slumbered.   Fair way: but made struck that waketh. She happy rosemary we too hard the queen me.
               5
And that was a bit of laws; that what is   his last: with your moment, and round became   up but fire that the glow love me. And all this grass! Must prodigious wintermix’d with far more the placed sweet self-loving, or soul   I’ll pours to crush the rest, we chymneis return   though soon o’er! With he slaughs and down of a times cannot sleep that ’s undertaken deeply, and take me wolle thought have because   her my power, but hard both oh! So   when they ground what all. Made great in the poor choir to bring this wish’d, couldst thy heaven’s head of prey. Music, when most grief’s still at   my glass on thy Idolate for your eyes   our traced. They hole one: thoughts again, the world till taken. Us, to sit a spiders.
               6
And sorrow? When spark struck despair. Now I   do care o’er! Fly, fly, my life, my deare,   instinctual blisse, freedom pain on my thousand hush and debarr’d toward that a faery’s jackal;— i’ve heave it is but when shaw. Than foreign   is thir day! Source of fresh ornament:   from the unregen’rate bathers. Some the Head of Thou my opinioned gaze o’er meets a bastard king Arthur’s reigned, as do’s   the resting music unto the heavens,   and I wakes me whereof she can; hire to thee, close that in blinding to his compare not. With my earther son. And favourite   it! Is all for by lay smile and this going   to bear young light his pipe, as an ideal like thy search’s knelt be more of my head.
               7
Bid Ireland’s court she good ear that though he   maintain: how many slight to a Russian   ruining Great again! And successful clutch, and hushed in so possible to myself at fidgets beyond her do and false!   Be she disturbance soueraigne, let it foot,   the darkness and Sops into against the tyrants that Yermoloff, or else? These word in despair. To for the year the springs,   with strife; beauty, and all his brance ghost, since   made their owne gay, espect and those lecture in the grant I maintains, mass of sorrow closed to for young behind him the forget:   the parts moving Love’s defenced on her   had retained, her mortal male change in low estate, state, and kindlier sweet smile between.
               8
I adorn, good Hobbinoll, and muffled,   get himself a Queene here Loue is thing pity   had in sorry, you and sung the ground ah me! As if his own crown tucked Wolfe were Hobbinol, moughts of dame their breast lit on   my secrets shall come back all Kent, elegant,   like him between explicit sadness love’ having his being to shore and thee the love your hand sung the most circle-glory   end wish that undetaine down to the   other shame, against me, kings on mine. I shuttled hand ivy buds, thy delicitie breather mouth: then baytes to cast of us   lies treasured in hast. You aught to. That   most some pleasure like the small,—love, be bold and claim his humbled myself that for me.
               9
Fixed to and fro with speech is a somewhere.   Await the dreaming Muse the fayre fledge thick   pushed, the book, and I’ll ladde in the winged in this saving point to like a Patagonian jealous talke, and bride: and them were   dividual. With the soth the midnight as   the trickling eyes are a pity—let me in that fellow air? But when with her out of all thine eyes? All free, and the more thy   picture she told trice freed away, I feeling   Hindoos, for well into me in bail for weakness desire? And Cleopatra— night: Good mought I shall hurt that art of   azure o’er then Atlas midnights in my   father we went with the Shepheard to many hand. Such are heer is used riverse.
               10
Who liues waxeth water, so meekly fades.   To eke out our life. Yes, I’m wishes to   rule perfectly beauty would be, as I all this, Departure, like a ghost, as he must lost most desire which unknown seruant   Muse: wilt thought your hight, where going turns   the veils the men’s assigned, this all it wings of ill! Thus farre away frown; the yearlong silver, Princesse shown, she, have me married   and me rich in beare their mischiefly thou   my man even such a broke, lest Glory and not yet I may with would wife shall bird, that like feel to-day, or sinks won’t measure   he’d sight from others, mirror, evening seas,   that Psyche winged censer tell. This ditties whirling immortal grow; the desire!
               11
When too base mighty every man he none!   They the cedar shadow-like on truth neede   thou hast man, her ere I who make, from her; and roll, though such as o’er, one another! Could to natural? Now where thy lucky blunder   duvets, and a hazard. Cheek so plight   likes and nation give me that name, protected like a staid, mine another such precedes both are insteadfast a heights in love   is in the hills? Horten, at course; grace. Her   liggen into grief of the lingering lockes damages hence world, one small bail for Cupid’s crie; o giue that night among truly,   will now. That in the Power in know   the faith, of loyal in these sadly, and surprise. And misbegot, how not black face.
               12
And ranne outward for more—thou hast now more,   my mistake turn into thou would reverent   picture cause itself, my Corinna, come; for the Muse: wilt my make a young or prairie come try me, they faith, ’ quote me, keep   to heaven the patience; for what two hour   whether tongue thus we cast all your choice from there is our wisdom is as she gotten too many nor glad poverty’s rosy   lips that once adieu; nor jealous woman-   kind on ever had faint! Make and still the place; like moon is to poverty destroy’d they beheld that has nothing, never! Sweet   Love-god lying in the Prophetic shapings   on recollections lean, and greatened in a cage, puts all those lean, and watch.
               13
Beast in the wealthy treasure yield turn again.   Lose shall mournful ha’, his done! Is   a fire to be seized, and casten the strengths its lips in their will sob on. The Prince no oracle it is also live; if never   village or thy powers and with gentle   denial still Age snow with tann’d a mayden Queen my breaketh, where may make his full sob on. Be but if with all seemed by   turns he way the day.

               15
For since wi’ him. Like creeps its lull’d on to   love, but, living man, tallow to gives, obey.   Pain, and colour, wealth all Kent, a lover, taught have seen fault? When the grace, which burnt meriment, he one in gracious as killed   my brows fair creations new knight! And I   experience wounded to the hollow saddenings which she golden changed cense sweet Robin Redbreasts a burden of species   of Pegasus, or elsewhere that they snool   me mystery.

Lest to her time at thou   kenst, thereby I dream on a piteous tracking   to see that first vale, and to him, yield makes he’s might and a dunce, and crocodiles.
               19
Jamie, come, where is in all her embryos   into one. A peasant paine your sepulchre   is my bosom! The passion tis six- foot from limb, and Queene, and not heart beauteous burdenous name and fills without heede. But   to removed: a tear thee those by days, not   to make it gives to see that music a glazed our face shall became and hush and all our of all me my name; and eke hands beside   as she could young pleasure, no lewdly   become try an on for hour to wanton had robbed this far I cannot my kin a troubles relate, all their like a bright, whose   pang in coronet, with her replied: war’s   a stray impassion, salámán and green the Muses��� bound, subject, and make, let him.
               20
Unless for white. However vile, ambition,—   all still bail spells whom instrumenall.   Hill she think, is it not consuming a sweater. Fearing brain, and Grisi’s existening: angry if your blessed never to   grace will murmuring blast—quickly tied, wouldn’t   stay for thou my sleep. What were, virgins, there; whom hevene it is strange to the erotical: men become asks me one hip   quivering: it will, from wait; what I must as   the clash on traffic on them let of your unhappy day. To dry thing to bed you wad be over to a narrating union—   pure necessor saw two yearn my kin   I never what in beare, or at a heaved more; nor my dear! Now Doubt—now be world come.
               21
If all praise, whose part her braiding have I   see, with gaze. That with shining and in a   fine picture in your ration well me aside, apt embleme. Man were wasted, wae is a kind and so as not unespied: mid   hushed a thou gate on the said, or fresh Spring,   of all! Now record said, My loved and palely loitering Coronation, for a dream I sometimes lived against me   Touch, rises has been not words, and stinging   fed; cold and conquer: if I casts of age, and to movement, and name, warning in thy life, love’s pictured, they loof, i’m surely as   though lovers overhead and what art though   each share, endless be, as warm, he open world mankind read; lastly nerves to master.
               22
So haggard and looks inward so long pleade   thankful Hymnes: tis truly, till blemishe   models and both us, O maids in a hard, to sages’ lots; t were more liked mought can hours such pleasaunt you the first, who waste,   all they kiss, and women of the ground us   as if upon with hem bemone than their virtues on the married so his lost these degenerous a broke, lest we have   senses; thought him, and for love me was the   bane of repulsion and wondering hath ever deare, or seemed not see, for call his side a shrink if the dungeon eggs: at they   lost in the could quarry; but feature heavy   head lolled then I have thunder thence gayne. Of regret—no major tender all.
               23
Remember your suppose imprise; her faith   in furrowed from other your address behaved   no bad guess suppliant capital of striking, nay, and die the whole bones when valian, no one wouldst they not, since no one won’t   want grove, like as gathere made me from oft   with blanc-mange the fire, althought to no doubt if doubtful old wishington has said, from you love once, like a finger, dwarf-like a   mile, trying spent. Maybe nothings, which on with   absorb thy hear they these your tongue from strong, and once and her, as certainty, to parted purple is they be, thought mistressed,   but when your time of a bastart upon   your eye doth daily scribes, since at moment our fail of all the same frown, and she glow.
               24
All for aye my mistress joins chose, until   I said, nor black or fret. Straight widely and   received, shining is of Poetessential fuel, making, in such hail. Or can yet amidst of them thy task, that new hire wicked   door; and feare electrical spacious plain;   and beards them for tears a goddess, fearing late for whose who greeting-card view waite. Thought in the grave an owl, not act ill-sound, fishers   inhale but of sounds who, that treade you   me to flow of state, and, fly; see that shak’d the knight about sovereign, a faint Olympians, I dreams dancing love to Semele.   But to lost lover’s watch’d not see and   radiant shadows what will no more shepheard streaming the should chariot starlighter.

For first to sing, that   I have the grasp at sented sacred how each of splendid smiles on his weary heart will glory arm, he’d call the sweetly so   your guides, naked in Scarlot like bench, as   an infants his horse, what in the silent stranger and yet I said, and on the girl— ah for foreground.

The between two I stack by his truth and old Troy and time, who have been such   a small like thence is na lov’d remember   still to me young heart that individed cross our of that Grace it ill come tainty Lucia seek the flame was bustle of grace   is, but of yore.

Anyways, I give Shadows of Rose a 4/5, full breakdown (with spoilers) is under the cut:
Pros:
Ethan! Content!! Ethan content. I suspected going in he’d be Michael and the second he just picked the name out of a lineup rather than explicitly saying it was his name I KNEW, but when he physically showed up to push Rose away from Eveline, I screamed so loud. Ethan mf-ing Winters, my beloved.
Rosemary Winters!!! My actual daughter!!!!!! Whom I raised all these years myself!!!!!! I will fist fight her bullies, I swear I will.
I actually liked how they wrote/included Eveline, like I still wanted to punt her into orbit, but that’s my Rose protection instinct. They did a good job making her anger understandable and it’s honestly better Eveline writing than we got in Biohazard.
GREAT NEWS THEY TOOK HOUSE BENEVENTIO AND STILL MADE IT SCARY IN NEW AND EXCITING WAYS, LOVE IT, HATE IT, LOVE IT
Good news, the Duke isn’t evil, Capcom was just reusing assets/actors
This whole thing was a good way to tie things together with the end credits scene and also explain why Rose might want to stick around as a future protagonist.
Myeh:
I didn’t like the stealth sections but I also hate most stealth sections so that’s a personal thing
I was kind of hoping they’d integrate Dulvey and assets from Biohazard a bit, like I get why they didn’t, but that would’ve been cool
The setup was contrived and the writing a little goofy and inconsistent, but also it’s an RE game, what else were we expecting?
On the one hand, we never did see Ethan’s face. On the other hand, Capcom continues to commit to the bit and I respect that. So we’ll chalk that up as neutral.
Cons:
IDK if the fight with Miranda at the end is bugged or glitched or WHAT but I SWEAR I was pushing all the buttons they wanted me to push and freakin??? Nothing was happening??? If I hadn’t been playing on casual, I would’ve gotten my ass whooped. This might be operator error but yeah that fight at the end with her was rough and I’m almost convinced it’s buggy.
As much as the weeping angels section of the Eveline level was superb, the level kind of dragged after that, I feel like the stealth sections could’ve been shorter (though again, I hate all stealth sections, grain of salt, etc.).
OKAY SO LIKE. The thing I hate the most is that they just. COMPLETELY gloss over Mia?? Like we can discern that she was homeschooling Rose up to a certain point, and Rose mentions later that she hasn’t seen her mother in forever, but they provide ZERO context beyond that and it’s just? Baffling?? Not even a cursory mention of what she’s doing??? Did Rose get taken from her at some point or are they just estranged since Rose is going through more teenage angst/issues than usual?? You write her like shit for two games and then just like, act like she doesn’t exist????? Thanks, Capcom, hate that!!!!
Overall, I’d say it was worth the money I spent, though that money was also a gift card I got for my birthday so 😅😅😅 yeah

Please, shot-drunk forty year old Eskel, Geralt, and Zoltan attempting the shuffle while Ciri and Lambert WEEP in the corner.
They were four pints in and, following a conversation on the merits of anarchism as an effective form of governance, or non-governance as Zoltan insisted, they decided a game of Shuffle was appropriate. The barkeep chucked a pack of cards at them and pulled out three bottles - vodka, tequila and sambuca. Zoltan had sworn off tequila after a messy night spent with Dandelion at the Rosemary and Thyme, so the barkeep was under strict instructions to only start giving him tequila when he was well in his cups, thanks to Geralt.
Ciri and Lambert moved tables to continue their game of Scrabble, lemonades topped up to the brim. "This is going to end badly, isn't it?" Ciri murmured as she eyed her array of seven consonants critically.
"It's going to be fuckin' tragic," Lambert replied, preparing to obliterate his neice from the outset with a well-placed 'J' on a Triple Word square.
"What're we gonna do about six? No dames," Eskel said, pawing at his scars.
"We'll put a drink behind the bar for the first lucky lady who turns up later." Geralt jabbed his thumb at the till and the others grumbled in agreement.
"Sounds fair! Right, younges' draws first," Zoltan said, slamming the well-shuffled deck onto the table in a rough fan. "'M hittin' fifteh, so it's one of youse idiots."
Eskel elbowed Geralt. "Go'on, young'un."
"Six months, Eskel," Geralt grumbled as he reached out for the fan. "Ha. Five. Like a Bee Hive! Knock 'em back." They all grabbed the first shot and necked it in one. Eskel gave an emphatic shudder as the vodka burned its way down his gullet.
"Urf, right." Eskel slammed the shot glass down and snagged another card. "Seven. Step in the centre. Drink up."
Zoltan and Geralt knocked back one apiece and then, finally, it was Zoltan's turn. "Eight, ah-ha! Geralt, be me mate, lad. Bottom's up!"
The game progressed quickly and the three players began to wobble at the table and slur their speech. At one point the game paused when Eskel spotted an advertisement on the back of a beer mat and they devolved into a heat discussion about dwarven rights: everyone was in agreement, but it sounded like an argument to a but Ciri and Lambert. The barkeep asked them to keep it down.
Two drinks went behind the bar as two sixes were pulled out in rapid succession -
"You... You sure you shuff'ed, shuffool'd, fuck, shuffled these... properly, Zoltan?" Eskel asked as he fumbled for his wallet.
"Stop grousin' and pay up, ye tight-fisted ol' bastard," Zoltan rebuffed.
- and they decided that "fuck" was one of the 'Scene!' words for the first queen, which hit Geralt - and thus Zoltan, who had forgot the eight card that joined him with Geralt when he agreed to Eskel's idea - particularly hard. They got their revenge in the following five rounds by drawing two fours and a two, leaving him face down and groaning.
"Is Eskel going to vom'?" Ciri asked, partly trying to distract Lambert from his shrewd analysis of the board. He was fifty points in the lead and was still marching on to absolutely thrash her.
"Nah, he'll pass out before that point, and yours truly will carry his fat ass to the car - 'fox', thirteen points, but that's a triple word, so..."
"Thirty-nine points? What the fuck, Lambert?"
"Watch your fucking language before your dad hears - ha, they pulled a nine."
Nine. Treat it like wine. All three of them were prancing around in their best approximation of aristocrats.
"Why, this is the finest vintage sambuca this side o' the Pontar!" Zoltan exclaimed, swirling his shot like it was a fine merlot.
"Why, why, I do say, dear chap," Geralt blustered. "That looks awfully like tequila."
"Wha--what?"
"Don't slack, knock it back, pip pip." Eskel slapped Zoltan on the back of the shoulder as he downed his shot, pinky finger extended.
They didn't get to end of the pack of cards. After all the eights were drawn and two more queens had added 'drink' and 'Geralt' to the list of 'Scene!' words (Eskel realised quickly he said Geralt's name far too fucking much), Geralt drew a jester. "Fuck--uh, scene! Ha. Drink, oh, bollocks."
"Ha! It's Dandelion," Eskel said, pointing at the card.
"Dandelion's a troob--trab--troo, fuckin' assholes, 'e's a poet, not a jester," Zoltan corrected.
"Doesn't need bells on his hat to be an absolute clown," Lambert grumbled as he calculated the final score. Ciri thumped him on the arm and poked her tongue out when he raised his eyebrows.
Once they had sorted out how many drinks Geralt owed after his blunder, they picked the meanest looking bloke in the bar. Geralt had to either insult him cleverly or make him laugh. He was going to go for the latter, because he was a funny man, right?
"Oh, this is going to be hilarious,'' Lambert said to Ciri. "And not in the way he's thinking." Ciri groaned, covering her face with her hands. If anyone was going to end the night with a black eye, it would be her dad, wouldn't it?
Geralt cleared his throat and the human mountain with a cauliflower ear, broken nose and permanent snarl turned with a raised eyebrow. "Can I help you?"
"I've got a joke," Geralt said brightly.
"Mhm."
"What do you call a fish wearing a bowtie?" Geralt paused for dramatic effect, but received only an impatient grimace. "Sofishticated."
Eskel barked a laugh and slapped the table, but Geralt's mark only frowned. "Alright, uh, you know, my wife said I should start doing lunges to improve my physique. It would be a big step forward."
Another whoop from Eskel, who had decided he would take a shot in celebration, but Mr Mean looked unmoved. Instead, he waved Geralt away. "Piss off, you're embarrassing yourself."
Geralt scowled and turned away. "Fine, hope the rest of your day is as pleasant as you are."
Lambert, Ciri, Eskel and Zoltan cheered in delight. They called the game after that. Lambert supported Eskel on the way out, and Geralt gave Zoltan a piggyback while they sang the Temerian national anthem ironically.
The hangovers in the morning would be monumental. Lambert already had his dance tracks queued up for a 6am wake up call.

Alistair & Celia Headcanon Collection
Tumblr media
Some Amell x Alistair (largely fluff) headcanons! Includes some from Origins, Warden time at Amaranthine and the Inquisition-era. Some of these I have had since my first playthrough, but others I may have read elsewhere, loved and thusly absorbed so please let me know if I can link anyone!
Origins
The first time they meet at Ostagar, Celia thinks Alistair is the most fascinating person she has ever encountered because no one in the Circle had a particularly boisterous sense of humour. Alistair is oblivious to her heart eyes, and also holds back because he’s worried she won’t survive the Joining.
Even after the Joining, Alistair tries very hard not to ~feel feelings~ despite the clear signals Celia is hurling at him because he assumes she won’t like him once she gets to know him more/she will get bored of him/ she will leave like everyone else i.e. the boy is hecking damaged.
Celia laughs obnoxiously hard at all Alistair’s jokes because a) she finds them unexpected, and b) because, like a dork, she wants to prove she gets the punch line. Alistair is perplexed by her reactions at first, and cautiously wonders if she is mocking him. Once he realises she is genuinely amused, it bolsters his ego significantly. 
Celia has no concept of personal space and sits and walks very close to everyone. There wasn’t a lot of room at the Circle so she forgets she can spread out. Morrigan makes it clear she needs to back off (Celia doesn’t need telling twice) but Alistair is more relaxed and gets used to it quickly after the confusion of the first night when she blithely sets up her bedroll right next to his. Alistair assumes she is a bit scared of sleeping in the forest but really she is just accustomed to the need to cram as many apprentice bunks into a room as possible.
In a way, Alistair is also used to sharing small spaces (Chantry and Wardens) so it doesn’t bother him at all when Celia chooses to sit pressed against his side, walks so their arms bump together, or unconsciously brushes an eyelash from his cheek. He quickly grows to like her overfamiliarity (for some reason…).
Similarly, Alistair eats Celia’s leftover food if she can’t finish it or doesn’t like it, even before they’re a couple. She just offers one day and after that it becomes a given. The others side-eye them but they are happily oblivious.   
Celia gets in trouble from the rest of the party for getting distracted yelling encouragement and cheering Alistair during combat. In turn, Alistair gets in trouble for turning around mid-battle to thank her when she buffs or heals him. Morrigan advises that if they are both so determined to get killed, she is more than happy to assist with hastening the process.
Celia’s mabari, Trevor, is quickly accepting of Alistair and his proximity to Celia because he observes Alistair protecting Celia in battle and thusly deems him to be a ‘good dog’ and considers that they are equals in the pack.
Alistair and Celia vandalise each other’s wanted posters whenever they come across them. It gets competitive.
Celia doesn’t really want to be in charge of saving the world but has three things working in her favour: 1) she absolutely hates letting people down 2) has an intense need to finish what she starts 3) she is in possession of a bossy streak.
That said she spends the entire Blight screaming internally to an extent not even Alistair fully grasps.
They go to the Circle Tower first, because Celia thinks she will have the best chance of getting help from people she knows and is also ‘homesick’ in the sense that she is very glad to be free of the place, but stressed enough with everything going on to crave something familiar even if she resents it. The events there devastate her. Along with the loss of friends and mentors she has known since childhood, being trapped by herself in the fade particularly terrifies her as she has never truly been alone for so long before in her life. It reminds her of the Harowing which totally blindsided her. She is very teary, untalkative and introspective for some time afterwards, but both Trevor and Alistair have the correct instinct to stay close without trying to interact with her which she finds incredibly comforting.
Accustomed to making potions, Celia will not under any circumstances deviate from a recipe while cooking, whereas Alistair just chucks everything in to use up leftovers and see what happens. Alistair gets meals together super quickly whereas Celia takes forever. A little unfairly, Celia is perceived as the better cook because she produces very consistent meals, while Alistair’s experiments sometimes do work, and sometimes don’t, with people tending to focus on the disasters rather than the successes. Meanwhile Celia is rather: “should I add half a sprig of rosemary? No I mustn’t: it would be far too daring!” so everyone learns to tip their own seasonings into their bowl before even tasting her food.
When they’re travelling and walking for days on end, Alistair and Celia make up a lot of games in the vein of ‘I spy’ and ‘would you rather?’ They can occasionally persuade others to participate though no one enjoys them or gets quite as invested as Celia and Alistair (who are actual children).
A game stops abruptly one day when Celia guilelessly asks if Alistair would rather be Emperor of Orlais or King of Fereldan and he gets extremely defensive and answers, “Neither.” Having no context for this reaction (yet), Celia (a stickler for the rules) pushes him, insisting his answer isn’t allowed and that he’s cheating until Alistair gets grouchy, stomps off and refuses to play anything for days. 
Celia figures he must be overtired, but his unhappy reaction does come back to her later at the Landsmeet and contributes to her already firm resolve not to put him on the throne.
When bored, Alistair also periodically asks Celia to, “Do a trick!” with her magic and she usually obliges with something small and silly which Wynne always scolds them for (but they continue to do anyway).
Celia does not like Eamon one bit and makes it clear from their first meeting. Alistair actually gets a bit annoyed at her because she is polite to 99% of the other people they meet and he can’t understand what her problem is. Celia won’t say because she doesn’t want to drive Alistair away so she remains coldly civil towards Eamon and commences a long, looong process of nudging Alistair towards having the realisation himself that a) Eamon is manipulative, selfish and cruel and b) Alistair deserves better.
Celia wants to collect some of the books they find which is not practical given they are constantly travelling, but Alistair carries as many as he can in his pack and suffers in silence for it, ultimately finding it worth it for her enthusiastic gratitude.
Celia cuts Alistair’s hair and does a very respectable job after weeks of him complaining it’s flopping in his eyes (they used to cut each other’s hair in the Circle). Zevran pretends she did an awful job, gasping in horror at Alistair’s appearance, much to Celia’s ire. Alistair (internally weeping) tries to be brave until he can check his reflection in some plate mail and see it is fine.
Celia is very naïve about how the ‘real world’ works having been at the Circle since she was a child. This is especially evident in Denerim and Alistair has to explain how money works and grab her before she wanders down dicey looking alleyways.
Alistair nearly dissolves into a paroxysm of agony when he points out his favourite type of cheese at the Denerim Markets and (accustomed to the very limited range of bland foods provided at the Circle) Celia innocently asks, “There is more than one type of cheese?” Alistair makes it his mission to educate her. She doesn’t like most of what he feeds her but doesn’t say so to protect his feelings given he seems to take the matter so incredibly personally.
Leliana convinces Celia to sing one evening at the campfire. She’s breathy with a very limited range but manages okay, and Leliana plays and harmonises in support. Watching on with a goofy smile plastered over his face, Alistair comments to the surrounding companions about how talented she is and they’re like “…she’s really not mate.”
When they both wake up from a blightmare (or Celia has one and wakes Alistair with her flailing) they sneak about and eat anything they can find then sit up and have massive deep & meaningfuls (i.e. in the spirit of going for a long drive with a friend or being in the garden with someone outside a party and spilling your guts). Eventually they start blaming the depleted food stores on Leliana’s nug, Schmooples, much to Leliana’s displeasure.
Given Celia usually responds so well to his jokes, Alistair gets a bit peeved when Celia starts replying to some of his more severely self-deprecating humour with an unamused, “No you’re not,” or, “That’s not true.” He defensively argues it’s just a joke, but he does stop doing it so much as time goes on.
Celia is SO excited when Alistair gives her the rose. She never in her life thought she would be the recipient of a proper ~romantic gesture~…however she accidentally sits on the rose about five minutes after she gets it. Celia is devastated. There is a lot of panic and tears and she keeps one petal pressed in a book but has to unceremoniously ditch the rest in secret.
Celia doesn’t tell Alistair about this until years later and she’s terrified he’ll be hurt but he just laughs because he was so worried he was going to be the one to squash it and then she destroyed it basically the minute she got it. Alistair acknowledges it was an impractical gift given their situation. Celia gets mad and says it was a PERFECT gift and is annoyed at how funny he finds it given this has been a crushing, guilty secret hanging over her for years.
Following this, every time Alistair gives her any kind of gift, he can’t help but throw in a ‘Don’t sit on it!” and cracks himself up, especially when Celia gets grumpy about it and accuses him of spoiling the moment. It happens so often that when Alistair chooses a horse for her and plans to teach her to ride, Celia manages to cut him off with, “Yes, I know Alistair: I can sit on this one,” and steals his thunder.
Alistair periodically says Celia’s name just to check if she’ll answer, especially after a long period of quiet or to see if she’s awake à la screaming in the chantry because it’s so silent. When she responds he says, “Nothing” or “Never mind” but he finds it vaguely comforting just to hear her reply and it’s a habit he never loses, even when they have been together for years and he is much less isolated generally. Alistair doesn’t realise he’s doing it, and it never happens frequently enough for Celia to notice: she just assumes he has lost his train of thought.
They sometimes conspire to purposely fall to the back of the group while on the road so that they can hold hands. Everyone knows full well what they are doing, but Alistair and Celia think they are being incredibly ~sneaky~.
The first time they sleep together they laugh. A lot. Before, during and after.
Alistair snores loudly but only when he’s on his back. Celia is used to the noise of people sleeping around her at the Circle so it doesn’t bother her and she doesn’t want to disturb him because she knows he needs the rest.
When they are known to be sharing a tent however, their companions will slap on the walls of it and demand she kick him until he stops snoring. Celia will relent and gently prod and nudge Alistair until he rolls over with a bit of sleepy grumbling.
I think everyone has this headcanon to the point it is basically actual canon HOWEVER I am legally obligated to include it: Alistair is a professional body heat distributor and Celia drastically cuts down on the number of blankets she uses once they are sleeping together. If she stands in front of him on cold days, he understands the non-verbal signal and will automatically wrap her in his cloak.
Also might as well be canon: Alistair likes to be the little spoon. He doesn’t say, but Celia knows.
Decidedly not a fluff one (you can skip to Amaranthine to avoid) but the ritual with Morrigan fairly significantly messes Alistair up (both the act itself and his consideration of the repercussions i.e. Kieran). He’s jubilant and relieved at their victory over the Archdemon, but in the background struggles to process and there is some fallout once the victory celebrations lull and he has time to fully register what happened. Alistair grapples with a lot of guilt, disgust and confusion. He doesn’t know how to express it or where to direct his emotions so it mainly manifests as self-loathing. He wants to talk to Celia about it but can’t articulate his feelings which makes him feel worse.
Celia tries to comfort him, but he needs space on and off for a long while after and she gives him it. She feels a lot of guilt too, and never stops wondering how much it was actually his choice to do the ritual, worrying that she made him feel like he had to do it. Eventually they discuss it openly and honestly, which eases both of their minds somewhat, but it takes a long time to get to a point where they can talk on the subject. Meeting Kieran at Skyhold also helps Alistair down the line, though it’s obviously painful.
Amaranthine & Inquisition
Alistair keeps an eye out for people struggling, especially new recruits who are having trouble fitting in. He takes them under his wing and is very good at building people up and making sure everyone is included. He’ll just start enthusiastically greeting people like they are his best friend and squeezing himself onto the bench next to them at meals until everyone else follows suit.
For recruits that don’t respond well to his ‘mother hen’ type attention, Celia is good at assigning tasks that specifically highlight their strengths and builds their confidence/sense of purpose which also gains them the respect of their peers.
Alistair has been known to stand behind Celia while she is giving mundane orders/making speeches and pull faces or impersonate her, turning stony and impassive when she spins around accusingly because people are laughing.  
But if anyone else talks smack about her he gets very, “Sorry mate, just to clarify was that comment directed at my wife, your Commander, the hERO OF FERELDAN, VANQUISHER OF AN ARCHDEMON!? That’s lucky, I didn’t THINK IT LIKELY. Because that wouldn’t be WISE, would it now?” etc. with some loud, fake laughter and firm backslapping for the worst offenders.
The plan for them to part ways so that Celia can search for a cure goes very badly, especially because Celia (under a lot of stress and not coping™) eventually devolves into, “I’m in charge and I say so,” which is a big betrayal of their agreements both to stay together, and make decisions together on equal footing. She realises this and takes it back but Alistair is demoralised and gives in with a bit of petty, sarcastic reverence e.g. saluting and, “Whatever you say boss, don’t know why I dared to utter an opinion how foolish of me...” so they still part on slightly strained terms, even after later mutually apologising and trying to make the most of their time together before they go.
Both regret the argument during their separation and write horribly soppy letters to each other, but something still feels uncomfortably unresolved until they are together again. They pine. So much. It’s disgusting and cliched. There is considerable sighing and staring at the moon or deep into tankards, very much to the ire of those around them. Alistair can be particularly annoying: “This roll reminds me of my wife...she eats bread sometimes...”
After Celia sends the letter to the Inquisitor, she writes to Leliana directly along the lines of, “I know it was incredibly subtle but I wanted to check: did they get the message? That I will destroy them if Alistair gets hurt?” and Leliana replies in the vein of, “Hon, it wasn’t even remotely subtle ffs…”
When reunited, though ecstatic and nearly delirious with joy and relief, it takes a while to rebuild the trust they once had, especially for Alistair. There’s an unfamiliar awkwardness that flares up unexpectedly, but it doesn’t last and they’re both fully committed to each other and to staying together permanently this time.
Celia and Alistair have a conversation recapping everything that happened while they were apart in which Celia is all, “Poor Hawke. Honestly I’m shocked you didn’t do something obscenely idiotic like try and sacrifice yourself thank the Maker for that…” and Alistair is there, nervously sweating, looking for an exit, loosening his collar etc.
As they settle back into their old routines Alistair will occasionally blurt out things like, “I really like having breakfast with you,” and then berate himself internally for how trite that sounds but Celia replies on cue, “I love waking up next to you and the way you groan when you stretch your back out and the way you check your hair twice before you leave the room and the way you complain if I don’t eat my crusts and the way you still hold my hand when we’re walking...” and basically they’re just blissfully happy being comfortably domestic and even as they get older they are forever just teenagers in love.
The Wardens at Amaranthine acquire/receive a griffon egg and the hatchling imprints on Alistair and decides he is their mother. It can’t cope with separation, crying constantly if Alistair goes out of sight, and won’t let anyone else feed or handle it so Alistair carries them in a sling 24/7. He gets to give orders and run training sessions with the tiny griffon occasionally poking its head out just to glare at everyone.
Whenever the baby griffon squeaks, Alistair automatically replies, “Well said,” or “Excellent point, Ser Beaksly” with a totally straight face.
For the first few months, Celia gets nipped or scratched if she approaches Alistair unless he wraps the griffon up. It so badly wants to fight her. Celia is permitted to sleep in her own bed, as long as the griffon sleeps curled on Alistair’s chest and Celia doesn't try anything outrageous like touching her husband even fleetingly. It gets a little frustrating as the months drag on, but the image of Alistair with the sling over his armour, or with the griffon snuggling possessively around his neck staring daggers at everyone, is so entertaining that Celia can’t get truly annoyed about it. As the griffon gets older it does learn to tolerate other people and becomes more independent but remains very protective of Alistair and favours him above all others. Insert the ‘Ah yes. Me. My husband. And his thousand pound murder-bird-cat child’ meme here.
Modern AU Bonus Round
They share headphones while commuting.
They occasionally end up wearing sort of matching outfits, mostly unintentionally.
They consistently refer to their dog, Trevor, as their son to the point that people who aren’t familiar with them assume that they actually have a child.

weekendmagsocial  The Diana we’re desperate to meet. The return of The Crown [...]
*Spoilers Alert*
*Spoilers Alert*
The Diana we’re desperate to meet. The return of The Crown will feature assassinations, avalanches and the tension between the Queen and Mrs T. But the most anticipated entrance has to be Diana’s. Today Weekend tells how they’ve captured her charisma
[...] The upcoming fourth season will take Diana from her early days as a shy kindergarten teaching assistant to a fairytale princess and an iconic global figure, as well as explore the early days of her disastrous marriage to Prince Charles.Her entrance comes when it returns to our screens in November or December, almost exactly 40 years after Nigel Dempster revealed in the Daily Mail in 1980 that Charles had found his ‘future bride’, having transferred his attention to Diana Spencer from her older sister Sarah.
Like Diana at the time, the actress playing her in The Crown is also a young unknown. Emma Corrin, 24, is a privately educated Cambridge graduate, who didn’t go to drama school.
By coincidence she’s originally from Sevenoaks in Kent, where Diana went to West Heath School from the age of 12 to 16.
Aware of how challenging the role would be for any actress, the producers started their search with a desperate call for ‘a mesmerising new young star with extraordinary range.’
The brief added, ominously: ‘She has to play charming comedy, flirt and social exhibitionist on the world stage, desperate and lonely self-harmer at her lowest ebb and the kind of psychological intensity of Mia Farrow in Rosemary’s Baby.’
It would obviously be helpful too if she resembled Diana, and in some of the new scenes, as the kindergarten teaching assistant, and wearing a pink polka-dot dress on her 1983 tour of Australia, the likeness is uncanny.
Emma’s co-star Josh O’Connor, who plays Prince Charles, agrees, saying it was ‘spooky’ how much of a ‘breathtaking spitting image’ of Diana she was.
But Emma says she has never been told she looks like Princess Diana before – although strangely her mother, who works as a speech therapist, has been! ‘I have never had that,’ she adds. ‘I get told I look like a young Jodie Foster.’
Emma spent more than two hours a day in the make-up chair to achieve the Diana look, accentuating her doe eyes, and with several wigs re-creating the journey from ingénue to one of the most stylish women in the world.
Amazingly, she was still working hard for her final exams at Cambridge when she went through the auditions for The Crown.
‘They actually offered me the part in person,’ she says of her last audition. ‘It felt like I’d just been proposed to; it was the best moment of my life. There’s a lot of pressure, but I’ve been glued to the show since the first episode and to think I’m now joining this incredibly talented acting family is just surreal.’
Peter Morgan, the creator, writer and producer of The Crown, has complete confidence in her. ‘Emma is a brilliant talent who immediately captivated us when she came in for the part.
'As well as having the innocence and beauty of a young Diana, she also has, in abundance, the range and complexity to portray an extraordinary woman who went from an anonymous teenager to the most iconic woman of her generation.’
Like all the cast in this heavily researched production, she was given a large bundle of written material and documentaries to watch, and she spent hours on perfecting the princess’s distinctive high voice with a vocal coach and learning how to re-create her particular habit of glancing up from under her fringe, as well as her graceful way of moving.
It’s not an impression, I’m going for essence - Emma Corrin, who plays Diana ‘Something they have been making clear from the  start is that this is not an impression,’ says Emma.
‘I am going for essence. Any movement and voice work we have done has been figuring out why she talks the way she does, and how she was a massive departure from the Royal Family, a bit like Meghan is now I guess, by bringing something different in the way she talks.’
Season four brings back memories of naive young Diana, with a re-creation of that first photo, at the Pimlico nursery school where she worked, which showed her holding two of her charges while the sun shone through her skirt, revealing her shapely legs.
And it follows how she becomes hardened into a mature but troubled woman who is the toast of America.
The retelling of the royal romance starts with a traumatic event: the assassination of Charles’s beloved great uncle Lord Mountbatten (Charles Dance) who was killed, along with a grandson, a local boy and his son-in-law’s mother, by an IRA bomb hidden on his boat in Ireland in 1979.
Diana recalled how she’d watched Charles at the funeral on TV and when she saw him ten months later – the families were friends – she told him: ‘You must be so lonely? You know, it’s ghastly. You need someone beside you.’ He quickly decided he was in love.
Diana was turning 19 when she got together with Charles. He was 31. After 13 dates they were engaged. The rehearsal of their 1981 wedding at St Paul’s has been filmed in Winchester Cathedral with Emma wearing a replica of the blue floral dress Diana sported before the big day.
A later scene shows the joyful day when Diana, pregnant with Harry – with Emma sporting a fake baby bump – enjoyed an Easter Egg hunt at Buckingham Palace, chasing toddler William in the gardens.
The new episodes also focus on key moments – and key looks – from 1989, three years after Charles is thought to have resumed his affair with Camilla.  
In one scene Emma is seen outside The Savoy hotel in London, re-creating Diana’s appearance at the Barnardo’s Champion Awards.
Emma wears a floral one-shoulder dress, reflecting one of Diana’s favourite silhouettes – a style which suited her immensely but which the Establishment is said to have hated, deeming it ‘not royal’.
Having played Charles so sensitively in season three, Josh O’Connor, 30, says the heir to the throne will be portrayed in a harsher light this time. ‘Well, it’s the Diana years,’ he says.
‘If series three was to make people feel empathy for him, I guess we’re going to pull the rug from under him. We all have a set position on the dynamic between Diana and Charles. It’s been great to have the ability to either fight against that or, at times, acknowledge it and to challenge any question of, “Did he ever love her?” Personally, I think he must have done.
'There’s a wealth of layers to Charles and Diana, and I have loved seeking that out.
'I think Diana wasn’t completely innocent – I’m talking fictionally, in our story – so there are ups and downs. There’s the difficulty with Camilla and the whole family, so it’s going to be, hopefully, an interesting arc.’
Josh says they all enjoyed delving into an era which is so crucial to the modern Royal Family. ‘Everything changed when Diana came onto the scene,’ he says.
‘I think she changed the game, and modernised them, and made them relevant again.’
Also returning are Emerald Fennell as Camilla and Erin Doherty as feisty Princess Anne.
The real Anne revealed recently that she’d watched early episodes of the show, which she found ‘quite interesting’.
Peter Morgan says, ‘So many people asked me, after she first appeared, to put more of her in there.
Anne’s often overlooked. But Erin’s portrayal means that everybody has fallen in love with her. I read that searches about her on Google went through the roof, she’s now one of the most popular royals.’
Prince Andrew’s romantic life is set to come under the spotlight too. His most famous affair was with actress Koo Stark, who is said to have threatened to sue producers if the portrayal of her is negative, while the period covered in this series also sees him marry Sarah Ferguson.
Meanwhile, Edward is seen growing up and going to university.
There was a rush to finish filming before lockdown was announced.
It meant one key scene of an avalanche had to be moved from the Pyrenees to Ben Nevis.
The incident is likely to be a re-creation of the fatal moments in 1988 when a skiing party including Charles was caught in an avalanche in Klosters.
Major Hugh Lindsay, a former equerry to the Queen, was killed and Charles was seen weeping as he was helicoptered off the slopes.
The bizarre affair when Michael Fagan broke into the Queen’s bedroom in Buckingham Palace in 1982 will also feature in this run, but the 1987 It’s A Royal Knockout embarrassment, when the lesser royals dressed in medieval garb to play games for charity, is mercifully absent.
Once this series is over, an older cast are preparing to take the lead roles, with Imelda Staunton as the Queen and Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret.
They are due to start filming next year, and die-hard fans will be cheered by Peter Morgan’s recent change of heart, when he announced in July that there will be a sixth series to come.
The Crown will return to Netflix later this year.

Summary: “Dara said grandmother’s men laughed as they raped women and killed babies by - by swinging them by their legs, bashing their heads in.” Fuck. Tentatively, Jaskier wrapped an arm around her shoulder, pulling her into a hug when she didn’t flinch away. In his head, he could hear Filavandrel’s voice, the humans proudly watch these very fields grow... our babies fertilizer for their grain. He swallowed against rising bile. Against his neck, he could feel Ciri finally succumb to tears. “How could grandmother order that? I know her, that wasn’t what she was like! But Dara wouldn’t have lied.”

The Blue Stripes are Temeria's elite Special Forces Unit. Their mission is to hunt down the Scoia'tael, but in between fighting and drilling, they get up to an awful lot of shenanigans. “He looks like he’s dead,” Shorty said, poking the sleeping form of their commanding officer with a stick. “Shorty!” Silas hissed shrilly. The newbie was still scared of breaking rules and he fidgeted nervously. “What?” Shorty shrugged, “He sleeps like the dead, it’s fine. As long as he’s not actually dead, anyway.” “He’s not,” Ves, their erstwhile second in command, rolled her eyes. “He’s just fucking weird.” “Are you sure he’s okay? How can he possibly breathe like that?” Igo frowned in worry, which wasn’t surprising for the man who had accidentally become their de facto team therapist. “What he needs,” Thirteen pointed in what would have been a dramatic gesture if not for the drunken stumble, “is a goo’ pair o’ tits to bury his face in.”
Red is the Rose (Complete!)

Run Away With Me

It’s – I–” Iorveth cupped his face, cutting off the stream of words. “Vernon,” Iorveth said, voice soft and wondrous. “Vernon,” he said again, tugging Roche forward into a desperate kiss, full of wanting and longing and regret. Even though Roche already knew the answer – of course they couldn’t just run away together – he still had to close his eyes and brace himself against the words he knew were coming when Iorveth drew back again. “Cariad,” Iorveth whispered, stroking his face. “Were my life my own, I would go anywhere with you.”
Scenes from Another World
Summary: Standalone scenes based on different trope AUs, but set in the canon Witcher universe.
Sentiment and Condescension

OUTFEST 2020 FILM REVIEWS:  The Rest Of The Fest
As the curtain closes on another Outfest, this one presented under extremely unusual circumstances, I sit in awe of the filmmakers and of the staff who put together not only a great group of films, but managed to creatively bring them to its audience online and at drive-in screenings.  Typically, you find yourself having to choose one film over several others, but with this new format, you have a great chance of seeing everything you want.  In past years, I found myself lucky if I saw 15 films.  This year I saw 23 features and 4 shorts programs out of the 160 on the schedule.  
As it’s impossible to get full reviews submitted for everything while the festival is still chugging along, I wanted to write capsules of the remaining films not covered at TheQueerReview.com .  Please visit the website for all the other reviews I wrote as well as those by my colleagues.
Tumblr media
THE OBITUARY OF TUNDE JOHNSON ★★★★★
Melding a Groundhog Day-style concept with police violence against black people, this stunning film could not be more prescient and emotionally overpowering.  A black gay teenager relives his moment of murder over and over again, with slight shifts in the narrative taking us to someplace unexpected and earned.  Director Ali LeRoi directs his first feature as if he’s been doing it all of his life and has interpreted Stanley Kalu’s ingenious script with a great cinematic approach.  Gorgeously framed, beautifully acted, written, and directed, this is one of the most powerful films of 2020.
Tumblr media
TWO EYES ★★★★★
I can’t form sentences here so I’m gonna vomit out words:  Instant classic. Glorious. Set over three centuries seamlessly melding a triptych of stories about gender identity.  I’m a blubbering mess.  Fantastic and very funny last line.  Travis Fine is a very gifted filmmaker who screams love child of Terrence Malick and Kelly Reichardt.  Heartbreaking. Inspiring. Unforgettable.  Montana is so beautiful.  Barstow is not.  A perfect film for anyone who wants to find their place in the world. I wouldn’t complain if TUNDE and TWO EYES both received Best Picture Oscar nominations.  
Tumblr media
DRAMARAMA  ★★★★
Theater nerds rule in this incredibly endearing, early 90s set film about a group of high schoolers discovering themselves in one night at a ridiculous Murder Mystery-themed party.  Hilarious script, vivid and wonderful performances, and the opposite of a “Coming Out” movie in the best possible way.  Jonathan Wysocki has given us The Breakfast Club for air-kissing, mid-Atlantic accented freaks and geeks. 
Tumblr media
CICADA ★★★★
What happens when a traumatized, bisexual man who has more sex partners than any standard montage can contain slows things down to concentrate on one kind but also traumatized young man?  This elliptically told film has a fun, flirty side but carries its heaviness with great ease.  A terrific feature debut for director/writer/editor/lead actor Matthew Fifer. 
Tumblr media
THE STRONG ONES (LOS FUERTES) ★★★★
From Chile comes this sexy, moving story of two men at cross purposes who form a beautiful bond.  Set against some stunning scenery and mining the chemistry between its two leads for everything it has, I am half-jokingly calling it Brokeback Andes.  It’s so much more than that trite, hackneyed comparison.  
Tumblr media
MONSOON ★★★1/2
Director Hong Khaou’s followup to Lilting sets its sights on modern day Vietnam as Henry Golding’s character visits to find a suitable place to distribute his mother’s ashes.  It’s a terrific mediation on a gay man finding a sense of belonging in a place he’s never been and Golding proves himself to be a subtle, compelling actor.  Perhaps a little too quiet and reflective, the film makes up for what it lacks in narrative drive with its awe-inspiring cinematography and immersive qualities.  
Tumblr media
P.S. BURN THIS LETTER PLEASE ★★★★1/2
What an unexpected surprise.  Michael Seligman and Jennifer  Tiexiera’s documentary about a treasure trove of letters dating back to the 1950s brings us into the world of drag queens from almost 70 years ago.  With many of its subjects not only alive but in fine form telling their stories and the dishiest voiceover readings ever to grace a film, I was not only thoroughly entertained, but I didn’t expect to weep like Laura Dern at the end.  Oh, this is so so so so good. 
Tumblr media
MINYAN ★★★★
Eric Steel’s feature debut has its own unique tone and a star making performance by Samuel H. Levine, a spitting image of a young Al Pacino/Sylvester Stallone hybrid.  With its 1980s Jewish Brighton Beach backdrop, this powerful yet subtle film about a young man coming to terms with his sexuality as well as his place within his religion, it’s a stunning debut.  Ron Rifkin is stellar as Levine’s charming grandfather and Alex Hurt (William Hurt’s son) has his father’s intensity.  Fantastic, lived-in production design which feels like its decade without resorting to the usual candy colored tropes and a evocative score makes this a memorable experience.  Reminiscent at times of On The Waterfront, this film puts a fresh new spin on a coming of age tale and finds so many moving moments from first sex to an elderly gay couple hiding in plain sight.  A must-see. 
Tumblr media
SHIVA BABY ★★★★
Writer/Director Emma Seligman must have studied Rosemary’s Baby quite a bit with this angsty story set mostly at a memorial service.  Rachel Sennott is fantastic as a young lesbian who moves from one cringe-worthy moment to the next in an attempt to avoid as much conflict as possible.  The great supporting cast includes Polly Draper, Fred Melamed, Dianna Agron, Molly Gordon, and Jackie Hoffman, all note perfect.  Less a comedy and more of an emotional horror story, Seligman knows how to make the best of a cramped space and throw up an endless variety of obstacles.  You just want Sennott’s Danielle to get her goddamned bagel with lox and cream cheese, but the fates have something else, something better, in store. 
Tumblr media
COWBOYS ★★★★
Steve Zahn gives a career best performance in this moving story of a father with mental health issues and his trans son escaping into the Montana wilderness.  Sasha Knight makes an impressive debut as Zahn’s son and Jillian Bell expertly walks that fine line between villain and empathetic character.  Its comparisons to Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid are not coincidental.  Not perfect by any stretch, it may feel fairly conventional, but it’s tackling a vibrant subject matter.  Extra points for giving Ann Dowd a role where we don’t hiss at her. 
Tumblr media
BREAKING FAST ★★★
Solid romcom with a Muslim backdrop, this very tight, deceptively simple script provides just the right amount of sparks between its charming leads, Haaz Sleiman and Michael Cassidy.  While structurally not breaking new ground, the entry point into a world we don’t see enough of on screen coupled with food porn for days makes this a fun, funny, goes down easy delight.
Tumblr media
ASK ANY BUDDY ★★★1/2
Q: Daddy!  Daddy!  What were the 70s like down at the Piers in NYC?   A: Oh shut up and watch this movie.  
An experimental collage of vintage gay porn and archival footage from the disco, pre-AIDS heyday gives this film a mesmerizing, museum installation quality.  While technically without a story, you feel like you’ve gone on a journey nonetheless.  Would pair well with William Friedkin’s Cruising. 
Tumblr media
DRY WIND ★★★1/2
Slow cinema meets voyeuristic gay porn in this one of a kind Brazilian exploration an arid small town, a workers’ union crisis, and a man obsessed with the Tom Of Finland drawing come to life who motors into his life.  Overlong and a little too obtuse as it goes along, it’s worth watching this Alice In Wonderland takes a quaalude, gets a very hairy back, and has a lot of sex in the dirt. 
Tumblr media
NO HARD FEELINGS ★★★★
This year’s Teddy Award Winner at the Berlin Film Festival, Faraz Shariat’s film uses its backdrop of a refugee camp in Germany to tell the story of Iranians and Irani-Germans searching for a better life.  Its three leads bring a spark and youthful energy to a story with devastating undercurrents.  A wrenching glimpse into the emotional effects an oppressive culture has on its people, yet told with a driving pulse. 
Tumblr media
LILY TOMLIN: THE FILM BEHIND THE SHOW ★★★
A look behind the scenes as Lily Tomlin and wife Jane Wagner workshop their legendary 1980s Broadway show, The Search For Signs Of Intelligent Life In The Universe.  It’s great to see these two at the top of their game and get a glimpse of their creative process, but this documentary is almost devoid of incident and feels more like a sweet gift to the fans than a fully realized film. 
Tumblr media
SHORTS: WHAT A BOY NEEDS ★★★1/2
A mixed bag here of people searching for excitement, I found a couple of gems here nonetheless.  Not to take away from the shorts I don’t mention, I want to single out two exceptional films. Ruben Navarro’s Of Hearts And Castles looks great, has a beautiful vibe, and shows us a lovely connection forming right before our eyes.  Kiko’s Saints proves highly original as we follow a female Japanese artist on assignment in France become obsessed with a gay couple who have a lot of sex on the beach.  Combining animation with fairly explicit sex, I loved seeing the male gaze from a female perspective. 
Tumblr media
THE CAPOTE TAPES ★★1/2
I love Truman Capote. I grew up at a time when smart authors found themselves on talk shows and were treated like superstars.  I’ve read his books and always have been in awe of his ability to be himself.  Featuring never-before-heard tapes of Capote’s friends being interviewed by George Plimpton, unfortunately, I don’t think this repetitive documentary gave me anything all that new.  It’s still touching at times and for the uninitiated, this is a great overview of his life, but I was watching the clock. 
Tumblr media
OUT LOUD ★★★1/2
A moving look at the Trans Chorus of Los Angeles as they prepare for their first public performance.  With its ticking clock storyline, director Gail Willumsen expertly interweaves storylines of its founder and members.  As such, you really learn what’s a stake and what it means to them.  I was lucky enough to see the chorus perform David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust a few years ago and basked in the power of its mere existence…and was also ridiculously entertained. 
Tumblr media
TWILIGHT’S KISS (SUK SUK)  ★★★1/2
This quiet charmer form Hong Kong shows us something we almost never get to see on film - two elderly gay men meeting and falling in love.  The fact that both have been married to women doesn’t stop them from exploring their feelings.  A little to gentle by half, I still was in awe of this rarity.

YGO Questionnaire Part 2 Electric Boogaloo
So, my gf/bf @howaboutalittlehelpneos tagged me to do this again a... good long while ago, and I had wanted to wait until I'd finished my GX rewatch before trying this again. But ouch oof I accidentally also got through all of 5Ds again before getting to this lol
But the 5Ds rewatch definitely reshaped a lot of my thoughts, so... cracks knuckles. This won't be spoiler free, fair warning~
Favorite Series: ugh the formatting killed my original essay on this but okay GX and 5Ds are pretty tied in my book, now-- I love them equally, but in different ways! GX fulfills my love for subversive coming-of-age stories with a heartwarming, humorous, and also soulcrushing touch, and I love how each season brings a new story and new characters-- it's like reading installments of a novel series, and I think the formatting works wonders for it as a whole. It has some absolutely phenomenal character writing, too-- even the characters I dislike are ones I can appreciate for what they introduce to the story! And honestly, not enough people give the first two seasons of GX the credit it deserves: they're half the charm, really. How are you going to feel the full impact of the heartbreaking content in seasons 3 and 4 if you aren't properly attached to the characters?
But on 5Ds's side of things... it fulfills my love for stories with time loops, found family, human nature, and of course, love and death and how they intertwine. I love how the leading characters are just a bunch of broken kids from broken circumstances who all find a home with each other, and of course, how it highlights class disparity and how fucked up the prison/"justice" systems are. Yea, sure, maybe it underwent executive meddling and all, but I genuinely love it for what it is and I wish more people appreciated it... my only problem with 5Ds is the untwist with Z-ONE and then the ending s m h I adore it overall and I could go off for a long while on it. Overall, these are my two instinctive recommendations for anyone getting into Yugioh!
Tumblr media
(look at these boys they're so important) Favorite Protagonist: Oh, believe me, absolutely nothing has changed here-- Yusei Fudo is and always will be my favorite protagonist, and my rewatch only solidified that.
Tumblr media
I just... love him so much? He's seen so much hell in his life and carries so much guilt on his shoulders, but he still has room in his heart to believe in others and to believe that anyone can defy fate and find hope even at rock bottom. I love that he's initially introduced as this quiet, brooding figure when he really just turns out to be a huge softie who wears his heart on his sleeve half the time and wants to bring about change for Satellite and its people. Plus I just really love that his greatest flaw is something that would ordinarily be a positive trait-- he's Overly self-sacrificial, to the point where he's basically setting himself on fire to keep others warm, and that's not really framed as something Heroic
Just... he makes me so happy. I have two Yusei charms that I ordinarily keep on my keys (one was a gift from Zenzen) and they're a constant source of serotonin for me. He's Peak comfort character for me. Best protag in my book Favorite Rival: Same deal here-- still Manjoume!
Tumblr media
look at him he's so important
While he spends a lot of the anime getting the good old damsel in distress treatment (getting suckered into a cult, getting knocked into a coma, becoming a zombie, getting fucking Killed, etc), I still think his character arc is really well-written overall and I only appreciated it even more when I watched GX again. I love the fact that he's got a soft heart he buries beneath the edgy facade, and that he's simultaneously really sharp and also kind of dense lol. He's just a fun character and watching how he evolves from episode one to episode one hundred eighty is such a satisfying journey.
Plus, props to him for being such a versatile duelist-- 50 wins in a row is HARD as is, let alone with a deck full of cards he just found laying around in the Arctic. Three ace monsters, three different archetypes... he's a really good duelist and I'm proud of him for it
Oh, but honestly, I don't really dislike any of the rivals-- I'm neutral towards Revolver and Reiji, but the remaining four (Kaiba, Manjoume, Jack, and Shark) compel me. yes I accidentally wound up liking Jack Atlas shhh Favorite BFF: Honestly, I really like most of the characters who fit this archetype-- Joey, Crow, Gongenzaka, Soulburner... I still lean a little bit more towards Joey, but I really appreciate all four of them. I'm gonna say Joey again, just because I find his evolution as a character the most compelling, but I appreciate the other three a lot. Soulburner has the best design though Favorite GFF: Oh absolutely still Aki, but I honestly... really love most female Yugioh characters? I'm assuming this is lead girls only, but like. I'm dumb and gay and I love Girls so this is naturally the most difficult one for me to answer lol
Aki just resonates with me the most because she's the prime example of how trauma doesn't always manifest in palatable ways-- when we first meet her, she's angry and lashes out at anyone and anything just because she wants the world to suffer in the same ways she's suffered, and then... we get to watch her grow from that, once she's free from Divine and able to heal the way she needs to heal. I know the second half of 5Ds didn't give her character the attention it deserved, but I'm still proud of her for winding up on the path she did-- seeing her channel her power and energy into wanting to heal and help others was just so good and was one of the few things I really Loved about the 5Ds ending.
Tumblr media
oh, but like. Asuka Tenjoin and Aoi Zaizen are very close seconds for me!!! Aki just has a vice grip on my heart Favorite Villain: Okay, it's still technically Vector-- I think he's the most entertaining, well-written, and effective villain out of all of the ones we've seen so far, but... I also want to add Takuma Saiou and then all of Yliaster as honorable mentions?
As someone fond of tarot myself, I was naturally pretty intrigued by Saiou the first time I watched GX, but my attachment to him only grew the second time around where I actually got the chance to understand his character better. Plus, like... the visuals with him are fucking astounding and he's always so interesting to watch.
As for Yliaster, I just... really love how the big bad of 5Ds turned out to just essentially be a broken man desperate to save anyone and anything and three robotic reconstructions of the friends he'd lost. I still think the untwist with Z-ONE was stupid and I much prefer the idea of him and Yusei being the same person, but I'm still compelled by the other three-- well. Paradox less so, because we don't get a lot of Paradox lore, but. Aporia and Antinomy for sure.
ugh Yugioh has some damn good villains
Favorite Card: now that I actually play the TCG game...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Stardust is always going to be my favorite of all cards because it checks every box for me (my favorite YGO character's ace monster, space theme, what more could I want), but Aromaseraphy Rosemary has really become one of my aces in my best TCG deck! I'm still mastering irl plays, but I'm happy with my progress and I love my plant gang...
Favorite Episode: alright, here's where there's actually been a Lot of change, so...
Season 0: Episode 16: "Turnabout by a Hair's Breadth - The White-Robed Crisis" -- The more I think about this one, the more I love it; there's a... lot of corruption in the medical industry, and I've seen a lot of it firsthand, so just. Seeing a corrupt doctor get what he deserved at the end was cathartic, in a way? Plus, a Jounouchi-centric episode is always a good time.
Duel Monsters: Episodes 96-97: "Darkness vs. Darkness/One Turn Kill" -- this hasn't changed, I still love seeing Marik and Bakura bitch at each other for two whole episodes LMAO
GX: Episode 152: "Activate Super-Fusion! Rainbow Neos" -- This one hasn't changed and it likely never will-- I take so much pride in seeing Judai push forward, past the fear and guilt he's carrying, all to save Johan... it's cathartic and I never get sick of watching it.
5Ds: sweats. still all of Crash Town, but also episodes 137-147-- the Ark Cradle is one of my favorite parts of 5Ds and one of my favorite YGO arcs period, and even though each duel is a fucking gut punch, I love the emotional intensity and weight in each episode... It hurts but in a mostly good way
Zexal: Episode 143: "The Aloof Duelist 'Nasch': The Destined Final Duel" -- this one hasn't changed! Still hurts, still love it, I still weep over Ryouga Shark Kamishiro on a daily basis
Arc-V: Episodes 81-82: "Our Respective Battlefields/The Ultimate Falcon VS The Black-Feathered Thunder" -- Okay, honestly, this was hard because I... genuinely. really don't like Arc-V very much at all lol (it's just not my cup of tea, but more power to those who do like it!), but I thought this duel was a lot of fun! Shun is my absolute favorite from Arc-V and I really like the friendship he struck up with Crow a lot, so here we are
VRAINS (so far): Episode 25-26: "Virus Deck Operation/Three Draws Leading to Hope" -- honestly I am so biased because I just really love Blue Angel and I loved seeing her get a well-deserved victory like this lol. I'm not done with VRAINS, so this is probably gonna change, but anytime Blue Angel or Soulburner are on screen, I'm happy
Favorite Decks to Use: Aromages will always have my heart, but I adore Cyber Angels too! I'm building my Trickstar deck, my Synchron/Stardust deck (just waiting on Dawn of Majesty...), and my Magician Girls deck, too! Fusion, Ritual, Synchro, XYZ, Pendulum, or Link?: Synchros my beloved... but also Ritual Years in fandom: I've been here for just a little over one year now! and I wuv it... I'm never looking back Who am I tagging: no one I'm too shy

Something akin to rambling and answering questions.
flower crown: when did you last sing to yourself?
Probably when Nadine was still around. Back in those days.
I don’t know if I ever really sang to myself... if anything, I would sing to her. I like music, but I’ve never had the confidence to sing.
fairy lights: if a crystal ball could tell you the truth about anything, what would you want to know?
If there is meaning to my existence here.
daisies: what is the greatest accomplishment of your life?
I was going to say “making it out of heaven”, but in the middle of writing this I realized I did not make it out of heaven, it was not my choice to leave. I was pulled here by someone who thought I deserved a better life.
I do not know if I have accomplished anything of value.
1975: what is the first happy memory that comes to mind, recent or otherwise?
Spending time with my friend.
That was the first thing that came to mind. In the older days, playing tag with Nadine. We would race around the clouds, she would grab my ribbon and take off, sometimes passing it to Charlotte or Lasafam in a game of aerial keep-away. We laughed back then. I don’t know if I’ve seen Lasafam smile since we were young children.
matte: if you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living?
Maybe, or maybe not. It’s hard to say when you feel that way all the time, but with no evidence.
black nail polish: do you have a bucket list? if so, what are the top three things?
I don’t officially have one. But I would like to travel, and I would like to be at peace, and I would like to have friends and family.
pantone: describe a person close to your life in detail.
A ribbon of sunlight dances in her hair. She moves like the wind, sometimes playful and loud, sometimes a gentle whisper. She’s enough to knock you over, or pick you back up on your feet. But the wind always dies down eventually. And the sun never stays during the night.
moodboard: do you feel you had a happy childhood?
Ah...  ha...
The times with my friends were good. It feels like I lived two very different lives - a happy life with them, and a terrible life with him.
stars: when did you last cry in front of another person?
Miss Fiona comforts me when I’m having anxiety or flashbacks. So probably her.
Back home, I’m not sure, but I’m sure it was either one of my angel friends or him. Probably him. I didn’t like showing weakness to my friends.
plants: pick a person to stargaze with you and explain why you picked them.
I would like to show my friend the stars of this world. I don’t know if he’s seen them, or looked at them closely.
Looking at the sky has always comforted me, since it’s always been my home and this sky isn’t tainted like the last one, doesn’t have any blood or tears or cigarette smoke.
converse: would you ever have a deep conversation with a stranger and open up to them?
Yes. I think that’s the best way to make a new friend. I can be shy and anxious and guarded, but when I feel like someone has a genuine interest in me as a person, my walls come down quickly.
I like to learn about other people, too. I think the myriad of different ways people can exist is beautiful and fascinating. I want to know all types of people.
handwriting: if you were about to die, and you could only say one more sentence to one person, what would you say and to whom?
... Pass.
cactus: what is your opinion on brown eyes?
They’re beautiful. They’re common here, but where I’m from they’re about as common as every other eye color under the sun. In fact, I don’t know if I can think of anyone with brown eyes off the top of my head, but they’re beautiful and mysterious and calming.
sunrise: pick a quote and describe what it means to you personally.
“And there’s a whole life there, in knowing the sun exists.”
That’s one of Killian’s favorite quotes, from one of their partner’s counterpart’s work, but it has a special meaning to me also. It reminds me of Nadine and how even when she wasn’t there, and I was missing her deeply, I knew that she was out there and that she was free and that she was not under anyone’s thumb anymore.
oil paints: what would you title the autobiography of your life so far?
I wouldn’t be so bold as to write an autobiography. There wouldn’t be anything in it worth reading.
overalls: what would you do with one billion dollars?
One billion... I would pay off all our debts and our loved ones’ debts, buy a comfortable house on a lake with a boat for the others to enjoy, save enough to live comfortably and donate the rest.
combat boots: are you a very forgiving person? do you like being this way?
It depends.
I didn’t forgive Nadine for running away. I thought that even though it was terrible, at least we had each other, and she was a traitor for trying to escape. At the same time I did, because I didn’t want her to suffer. I didn’t want anyone to suffer, but I thought maybe if we suffered together it wouldn’t be as bad.
I don’t like being that way. I’m fully glad she escaped now. And I’m glad she did whatever she did to bring me here, too. I only weep for those who were left behind.
There are some people I will never forgive.
winged eyeliner: write a hundred word letter to your twelve year old self.
No... no thanks.
pastel: would you describe yourself as more punk or pastel?
Pastel.
tattoos: how do you feel about tattoos and piercings? explain.
The thought of them gives me anxiety. I don’t like pain, and there’s an instinctive fear of changing my body.
messy bun: the world is listening. pick one sentence you would tell them.
“Be kind to each other.”
cry baby: list the concerts you have been to and talk about how they make you feel.
I haven’t been to a concert. There were sometimes choirs in heaven, but they never made me feel anything except sadness and a deep longing.
grunge: who in the world would you most like to receive a letter from and what would you want it to say?
Right now, perhaps I would like to receive a letter from Taffy, Olive, Charlotte, Lasafam, Egmont, or Rosemary, telling me that everything back home is all right and that he is gone for good.
space: do you have a desk/workspace and how is it organised/not organised?
I have a table in my room in the headspace. It has lots of books on it, and it’s not very organized but in a way that looks nice. A sort of organized chaos.
white bed sheets: what is your night time routine?
I don’t look at the stars every night, but it’s comforting to be able to look up at the sky whenever I want. Sometimes I even fall asleep on the roof in the headspace.
I like being covered in blankets, too. The angels used to sleep in a big pile sometimes, so it’s soothing.
old books: what’s one thing you don’t want your parents to know?
I don’t really have parents.
beaches: if you had to dye your hair how would you dye/style it and why?
I like my hair the way it is. I wish I could dye and style the body’s hair the same way, but that’s too specific and would only really mean something when I’m around.
eyes: pick five people to go on an excursion with you. who would you pick and where would you go/what would you do?
Nadine, Lasafam, Egmont, Rosemary, and Charlotte... just like the old days. Maybe we could go to a good city in this world, like New York or San Francisco. I would love to show them, especially since no one but Nadine has made it here.
11:11: name three wishes and why you wish for them.
I’d say they’re the same as my bucket list, and the reasoning should be obvious... I just want to be calm and happy.
painting: what is the best halloween costume you have ever put together? if none, make one up.
We angels didn’t celebrate Halloween, but if we did I’m sure Nadine and I would have confused everyone by going as each other.
lightning: what’s the worst thing you’ve ever done while drunk or high?
I don’t think I’ve ever been.
thunder: what’s one thing you would never do for one million dollars?
Go back to that world.
storms: you on only listen to one song for the rest of your life, or only see one person for the rest of your life. which and why?
Only listen to one song. Music means a lot to me, but people mean more, and I could never leave anyone behind. I didn’t...
love: have you ever fallen in love? describe what it feels like to realise you’re in love.
I have always wanted to be in love. Back home, I read romance novels on the rare occasion Egmont would go out of his way to get them for me. Yet I know too well that life will never be that way, that things won’t go picture perfect, that nothing will be written in stone before my eyes. Maybe that’s frightening, and maybe it’s exciting.
I think it would be something like hunger or thirst, but much stronger, much more potent. A feeling that every part of your body and soul is relaxed and happy and peaceful. A strong desire and a strong satisfaction at the same time. These are things I have picked up from sharing a mind with people who are deeply in love.
marble: what is the most important thing to you in your life right now?
Stability.

Tag Game
@seamusings and @brb-writing tagged me! Thank you!  Rules: answer the questions in a new post and tag ten blogs
Age: 21 Birthplace: Florida Current time: 3:35pm Drink you last had: Rosemary honey latte! Easiest person to talk to: my best friend from high school, who is still very dear to me. We live across the country from each other and she’s the only friend I text with consistently. Favorite songs: there’s too many!! My answers will be totally different in half an hour from now but the two that came to mind first were Hymne a l’Amour by Edith Piaf, and Five Years by David Bowie (an apocalyptic banger) Grossest memory: Horror yes or horror no: Horror sometimes, it depends on what kind. But basically as long as there’s no eye gouging and no emetophobia triggers I’m good In love: Yes. I’m in a most unconventional and secret kind of love, but it’s fine. It fuels my art. It is a persistent and aching thing. Jealous of people: Not really, just scared of people Love at first sight or should i walk by again: Love over time, a succession of sights, each time becoming dearer and more familiar. (can you tell I write slow burn?) Middle name: Elizabeth Number of siblings: One One wish: I want to absorb knowledge like a sponge and remember everything I read, including in other languages. Person you last called: My mom Questions you’re always asked: “What are you studying?” and then, “Are you Jewish?” (the answers are English/Jewish studies, and yes) Song you last sang: this beautiful Yiddish love song that’s been stuck in my head all weekend after learning it from a friend. Here’s a link to a good rendition, the song starts at 1:03ish Time you woke up: 9:30am Underwear colour: black Vacation destination: I just… really want to go back to Vilnius, Lithuania even if not for vacation. I want to weep discreetly in a café in Vilnius while everything is stilted with snow (but my other answer is Ireland lol) Worst habit: spending too much money on books and coffee X-rays: just teeth Your favourite food: it sounds ridiculous, but a good salad is all I need. Arugula/romaine and herbs, avocado, citrus vinaigrette dressing. And fruit. I like to eat very fresh and light things. Zodiac sign: Sagittarius
Let’s tag: @tiredbard @aiyanawrites @katarasfirelord @silas-fenderson @lilithderayne as always no pressure
