This has probably already been said but I wanted to write my two cents on the matter.
While I'm fine with the depiction of Atem being a smooth-talker and a flirt there's something about him being awkward/shy about romance that I enjoy more. Canon already implies Atem is romantically clueless but I like to take it a step further.
This guy is so confident and level-headed but when it comes to being romantic, he's shy. The idea of Atem, who is very confident in most situations, being romantically shy makes him endearing imo. Like you hold this man's hand and he's gonna think about it for weeks.
Firm believer that he uses more "old fashioned" ways to refer to his s/o as. I mean come on dude is from the ancient world. So no calling his s/o "babe" in this house. Shudders. No, he definitely calls his s/o "my love" and "my dear" and "darling/my darling."
And because my guy is touched-starved this dude's a cuddler. Doesn't matter who the big spoon/little spoon is as long as he's engaged in physical contact with his lover. In a moment of boldness he might even pull them down on his lap just to have them close. Cuddling on the couch while watching movies. Falling asleep while his head is on his s/o's lap as they card their fingers through his hair.
But yeah I believe in romantically shy Atem supremacy.

like. does romana keep putting eris on missions with narvin because she thinks he's just the cutest little thing on gallifrey and he's her favourite or is she explicitly trying to ruin narvin's day. they're like a buddy cop movie that sucks 🥰
#like where did he even come from. who is he#is he genuinely just junior agent number 5892 that romana took a shine to????? because ngl that does sound Very her#i stand by my interpretation that she promoted wynter almost entirely because his naivete and belief in her stroked her ego#at a time when the entire capitol was set against her#but somehow a castellan who was loomed yesterday didn't exactly make her look any better lmao 🤔#i'm sure eris won't be a tragedy too 🙃#gallifrey#eris#romana#wynter

"Mr. Page received your letter directed unto my lady Anne, and delivered the same. There is yet no answer. She gave kind words, but will not promise to speak to the King for you." Cromwell to the Cardinal.
#anne boleyn#anneboleynedit#still on my quest of posting all non-chapuys primary source quotes on anne...#also either a suggestion of conversion or detracting from arguments vis a vis cromwell's 'lutheranism'...in this same letter he says#he wished luther had never been born. so.#just love how suggestive this quote is lol#she could speak for you. but she won't <3#at the same time this is a feature you see come up again and again in. again#non chapuys primary sources . of people that actually spoke with or communicated directly with anne#thomas wynter says the same (she spoke very kindly to him was his quote iirc)#which runs rather counter to the narrative that she was needlessly hostile~ to everyone. and suggests even when she gave you a refusal.#it was gentle but firm .#henry viii#also the prevailing myth that all including cromwell of wolsey's 'affinity' despised her bcus they blamed her for his downfall...#they either weren't all that close to him or they didn't really blame her. richard page is the messenger here#and he seems to have enjoyed a very warm relationship with anne#page also had ties to henry fitzroy and anne stanhope. things that make you go hmmm

"wynter, we're not pet sitting you"
"fine, but can you at least scratch me behind the ears and tell me i'm a good girl?"

Would you be willing to dunk on speak more on mainstream feminist theory you're reading? And/or share some of the non-juvenile feminist theory you've read?
(Note: I will try to link to open access versions of articles as much as possible, but some of them are paywalled. if the links dont work just type the titles into google and add pdf at the end, i found them all that way)
If there’s any one singular issue with mainstream feminist thought that can be generalized to "The Problem With Mainstream Feminism" (and by mainstream I mean white, cishet, bourgeois feminism, the “canonical feminism” that is taught in western universities) it’s that gender is treated as something that can stand by itself, by which I mean, “gender” is a complete unit of analysis from which to understand social inequality. You can “add” race, class, ability, national origin, religion, sexuality, and so on to your analysis (each likewise treated as full, discrete categories of the social world), but that gender itself provides a comprehensive (or at the very least “good enough”) view of a given social problem. (RW Connell, who wrote the canonical text Masculinities (1995) and is one of the feminist scholars who coined/popularized the term hegemonic masculinity, is a fantastic example of this.)
Black feminists have for many decades pointed out how fucking ridiculous this is, especially vis a vis race and class, because Black women do not experience misogyny and racism as two discrete forms of oppression in their lives, they are inextricably linked. The separation of gender and race is not merely an analytical error on the part of white feminists - it is a continuation of the long white supremacist tradition of bounding gender in exclusively white terms. Patricia Hill Collins in Black Feminist Thought (2000) engages with this via a speech by Sojourner Truth, the most famous line from her speech being “ain’t I a woman?” as she describes all the aspects of womanhood she experiences but is still denied the position of woman by white women because she is Black. Lugones in Coloniality of Gender (2008) likewise brings up the example of segregationist movements in the USAmerican South, where towns would put up banners saying things like “Protect Southern Women” as a rationale for segregation, making it very clear who they viewed as women. Sylvia Wynter in 1492: A New World View likewise points out that colonized women and men were treated like cattle by Spanish colonizers in South America, often counted in population measures as "heads of Indian men and women," as in heads of cattle. They were treated as colonial resources, not as gendered subjects capable of rational thought.
To treat the category of “woman” as something that stands by itself is a white supremacist understanding of gender, because “woman” always just means white woman - the fact that white is left implied is part of white supremacy, because who is granted subjecthood, the ability to be seen as human and therefore a gendered subject, is a function of race (see Quijano, 2000). Crenshaw (1991) operationalizes this through the term intersectionality, pointing out that law treats gender and race as separate social sites of discrimination, and the practical effect of this is that Black women have limited/no legal recourse when they face discrimination because they experience it as misogynoir, as the multiplicative effect of their position as Black women, not as sexism on the one hand and racism on the other.
Transfeminist theory has further problematized the category of gender by pointing out that "woman" always just means cis woman (and more often than not also means heterosexual woman). The most famous of these critiques comes from Judith Butler - I’m less familiar with their work, but there is a great example in the beginning of Bodies That Matter (1993) where they demonstrate that personhood itself is a gendered social position. They ask (and I’m paraphrasing) “when does a fetus stop becoming an ‘it’? When its gender is declared by a doctor or nurse via ultrasound.” Sex assignment is not merely a social practice of patriarchal division, it is the medium through which the human subject is created (and recall that gender is fundamentally racialized & race is fundamentally gendered, which I will come back to).
And the work of transfeminists demonstrate this by showing transgender people are treated as non-human, non-citizens. Heath Fogg Davis in Sex-Classification Policies as Transgender Discrimination (2014) recounts the story of an African American transgender woman in Pennsylvania being denied use of public transit, because her bus pass had an F gender marker on it (as all buss passes in the state required gender markers until 2013) and the bus driver refused her service because she “didn’t look like a woman.” She was denied access to transit again when she got her marker changed to M, as she “didn’t look like a man.” Transgender people are thus denied access to basic public services by being constructed as “administratively impossible” - gender markers are a component of citizenship because they appear on all citizenship documents, as well as a variety of civil and public documents (such as a bus pass). Gender markers, even when changed by trans people (an arduous, difficult process in most places on earth, if not outright impossible), are seen as fraudulent & used as a basis to deny us citizenship rights. Toby Beauchamp in Going Stealth: Transgender Politics & US Surveillance Practices (2019) talks about anti-trans bathroom bills as a form of citizenship denial to trans people - anti-trans bathroom laws are impossible to actually enforce because nobody is doing genital inspections of everyone who enters bathrooms (and genitals are not proof of transgenderism!), but that’s actually not the point. The point of these bills is to embolden members of the cissexual public to deputize themselves on behalf of the state to police access to public space, directing their cissexual gaze towards anyone who “looks transgender.” Beauchamp points out that transvestigators don’t need to be accurate most of the time, because again, the point is terrorizing transgender people out of public life. He connects this with racial segregation, and argues that we shouldn’t view gender segregation as “a new form of” racial segregation (this is a duplication of white supremacist feminism) but a continuation of it, because public access is a citizenship right and citizenship is fundamentally racially mediated (see Glenn's (2002) Unequal Freedom)
Susan Stryker & Nikki Sullivan further drives this home in The King’s Member, The Queen’s Body, where they explain the history of the crime of mayhem. Originating in feudal Europe (I don’t remember off the dome the exact time/place so forgive the generalization lol), mayhem is the crime of self-mutilation for the purposes of avoiding military conscription, but what is interesting is that its not actually legally treated as “self” mutilation, but a mutilation of the state and its capacity to exercise its own power. They link the concept of mayhem to the contemporary hysteria around transgender people receiving bottom surgery - we are not in fact self mutilating, we are mutilating the state’s ability to reproduce its own population by permanently destroying (in the eyes of the cissexual public) our capacity to form the foundational social unit of the nuclear family. Our bodies are not our own, they are a component of the state. Situating this in the context of reproductive rights makes this even clearer. Abortion access is not actually about the individual, it is the state mediating its own reproductive capacity via the restriction of abortion (premised on the cissexual logic of binary reproductive capacity systematized through sex assignment). Returning to Hill Collins, she points out that in the US, white cis women are restricted access to abortion while Black and Indigenous cis women are routinely forcibly sterilized, their children aborted, and pumped with birth control by the state. This is not a contradiction or point of “hypocrisy” on the part of conservatives, this is a fully comprehensive plan of white supremacist population management.
To treat "gender" as its own category, as much of mainstream feminism does (see Acker (1990) and England (2010) for two hilarious examples of this, both widely cited feminists), is to forward a white supremacist notion of gender. That white supremacy is fundamentally cissexual and heterosexual is not an accident - it is a central organizing logic that allows for the systematization of the fear of declining white birthrates (the conspiracy of "white genocide" is illegible without the base belief that there are two kinds of bodies, one that gets pregnant and one that does the impregnating, and that these two types of bodies are universal sources of evidence of the superiority of men over women - and im using those terms in the most loaded possible sense).
I realize that most of these readings are US centric, which is an unfortunate limitation of my own education. I have been really trying to branch into literature outside the Global North, but doctoral degree constraints + time constraints + my own research requires continual engagement with it. I also realize that most of the transfeminist readings I've cited are by white scholars! This is a continual systemic problem in academic literature and I'm not exempt from it, even as I sit here and lay out the problem. Which is to say, this is nowhere near the final word on this subject, and having to devote so much time to reading mainstream feminist theory as someone who is in western academia is part of my own limited education + perspective on this topic

You know what More Than Meets The Eye deserved?
A beach episode. The Lost Light crew visits a beach resort planet for a mini-vacation, chaos ensues.
Swerve falls asleep on the beach and several people bury him, drawing patterns in the sand he's buried in to make him look like a mermaid. Rodimus' holoform is wearing the most obnoxious beach outfit imaginable and a huge straw hat. Whirl gets banned from the beach indefinitely for yelling out "Shark!" and making everyone panic (there are no sharks on this planet.) Tailgate was almost swept out to sea but was saved by Cyclonus, who proceeded to lecture him for hours about how dangerous and stupid that was. Everyone teams up to drown Getaway.
Megatron and Ultra Magnus stand in the back, arms folded and watching like a bunch of disappointed dads (they're both wearing beach hats)

...I had some ideas, and I'm feeling slightly better today so doodles!
Meet Zaahira Ali! The fourth princess and daughter of the great Sultana Aaliyah, and the one most likely to rise to the throne as she is favored by her mother for her intellect and wisdom. One of the royal consorts hired people to abduct her, just as one of the Asim family head’s many wives paid for Kalim to be abducted. Poor Eleanora is just collateral damage because she looked to be "close" to Kalim and they thought she'd be a good bargaining chip (cough something to threaten him with cough) if he misbehaved. Zaahira is also Kalim's future wife.
Listen. Everyone seems to ignore the very obvious trauma Kalim has, the other characters included, which was especially prevalent during Playful Land, so obviously I must poke and prod at it and give Kalim's rant during VDC some delicious build up.
Let it bubble. Let him come face to face with the fact that some members of his massive family are trying to kill him to pave way for his siblings. Let him acknowledge it instead of pretending everything is fine. Let baby boy stop avoiding how mucked up everything that's going on with his family actually is.
Anyways.
If this happens it'll take place during the week or two Malleus has everyone rehearsing the song he wants to sing for Noble Bell College- Jamil included. Fellow just came back from his community service, having located all of the Chort's victims, so Eleanora was going to go with either Cater or Lilia into town to get some extra clothes for him, but neither could make it and asked Kalim to go with her instead. Skully is just a first-year who is quite literally misplaced in time and still getting used to the modern day, Gidel is literally a tiny child who is both mute and magicless, and Fellow is... Fellow... so Cater and Lilia don't exactly want Eleanora to go to town without decent protection because of her being a trouble magnet.
Alas... Gidel goes missing.
The group splits up, Eleanora is pretty sure she sees Fellow run into an alley and goes after him, because that was an urgent run- the run of an older sibling who saw their little sibling in trouble, only to find Fellow unconscious and Gidel crying silently over him, and upon hearing Kalim yelp she turns around just to get clocked in the face and knocked out.
The Ellis trauma gonna be coming out in full force- and not the part involving Maleficent. The abduction.
I haven't decided if it's Sebek or Wynter who gives Eleanora the little sword bracelet. T'was inspired by the little phone keychain my older sister has. Is a tiny dagger inside a little sheath just hanging from her phone. It's super cute- and deadly. Mwhehehehe.

thinking about nothingness as both representative of gallifrey and a prospect of torture. the white guardian threatening the doctor with nothing, forever, in the ribos operation. wynter and the sensory tanks. romana on etra prime, imprisoned with nothing and no one for company for days on end. the oubliette wiping people from history. zero rooms as a recreation of nothingness, so that nothing can impact the process of regeneration - nothing as the absence of anything else, and nothing as its own tangible, threatening presence. gallifrey is a culture in stasis, a stagnant world which never changes; nothing ever happens. the zero room is that nothingness in miniature, on proud display. to quote marc platt:
I like the idea that the Time Lords' exclusive power comes at a price. If Gallifrey is already slightly outside the continuum of the rest of the Universe, surely a good observation point, then the Time Lords' investment in the stabilising influence of Omega's Black Star has only made things worse. The power that neither fluxes nor changes is slowly, slowly grinding the whole of Gallifreyan existence to a halt. At this rate, the Time Lords will eventually be frozen in Time themselves and the rest of the Universe will come to look at them instead.

Open Season
Art by @crownedinmarigolds
Author's Note: A flash fiction I wrote to accompany this gorgeous art above. It was a fun experiment after immersing myself in Eimear McBride.
Lucien teaches Wynter to hunt. She takes these lessons with her to the Cinderblock.
Content Warnings: Violence, pre-canon, weird uncle/niece relationship, it starts with the letter G.
Shoots rustling. The warm smell of earth and honey. Milky sweet. They had trampled across the field, towering, limbs reaching toward the sky, searching, searching… He could have her here if he wanted to, no one to see them as clearly as they could in themselves, hidden behind the rows.
Hush. Stop. Th—
No. His hand over her arm, weighing it down. “Make it comfortable. Let it come to you.”
They stood still, still breathing, easing like vapor into the breeze. Sun and light overexposed. Her hair raking skin. Blood drumming. Loud, so loud. Until it moved, at ease, the tension dissipating from its legs, gathering kernels like a hamster into its mouth.
It moved. Closer and closer still. She felt his eyes shifting, staring at her. No, it. No, her, stripping her clean. Her arms gently raised, like a show. “That’s right. Easy now.”
Squinting, locked in the crosshairs through the scope. It’s heart thumping, screaming, Please, please, please!
The cold tip of his nose in her neck. The metal nuzzle of her gun in another’s. Skin red-pricked and wanting. He had sucked in all the air around them and Oh, God! She needed to— Breathe, breathe!
“You’re my girl, you know that?” Swallowed. Her skin tattooed by the grooves of his lips. And swallowed some more. She could really want him. She could, couldn’t she?
Breath licking sweat, tongue moist. His saliva, she licked her lips. Breathed out. It blurred and sharpened, unaware.
You’re mine.
Like a denouement, the curtains closing on a play, the ghoul dropped to the floor. Blood draining through the carpet.
In a boundless second, Nadia was another nobody and Wynter’s time with D’Espine would be rewarded.

Excuse me, Monsieur, I have someone here who needs to see you.
[Rook crossed his arms, dragging another student - Janus Wynter - behind him]
@rookonthehunt (No need to respond if you don't want to, but brief run down; rook found out janus's pen is dangerously inky and wants to get him checked. janus's account is @cryo-and-condescension if you're all good with 3 people rp's, i can tag him in my next response if so)
(✨sure! I totes don't mind! I appreciate the ask!)
Heinrich raised an eyebrow curiously as he slid back in his desk chair.
"Ah, Rook Hunt the Pomefiore Vice. I wasn't expecting any visitors today (...or at all, in all honesty) but I am glad you've brought your fellow student here! After all, an Overblot is never an ideal scenario! Come in, come in!"
