@myrddin-wylt Has this sad as hell headcanon about the 7 failed American Colonies and how Alfred continuously just not making it and getting sick etc. affected Arthur and I’ve seriously not been able to think about their relationship any other way for days.
But can you imagine Alfred’s absolute obsession with his birthday being because Arthur made a big deal out it it when he was little? Since every consecutive year that Alfred stayed alive was such a huge deal that Arthur made a point to celebrate it each year.
(And also, Myrddin’s posts somehow just always registers as canon to me, too, so I always just end up thinking about it non-stop as if I just watched an episode of the actual show. Also “Fourth of july” by Sufjan Stevens really sets the mood for this one, boys.)

“avatar: the last airbender” is an excellent critique on colonialism and can be compared to the ways in which the american government has successfully worked to globalize anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, and capitalism through war, hierarchal categorization, racial terrorization, and indoctrination. on the other hand, its sister show “the legend of korra” actively works to undo many of the stories and lessons ATLA uncovers with themes of pro-militarism, pro-tyranny, anti-Indigenous rhetoric and anti-Black depictions. in this essay i will—

Facts about James Madison Vol. 1
(Because I’m bored and everyone should be enlightened with some James Madison)
James Madison walked with a small spring in his step, considerably to make himself appear slightly taller than he was
Because of the soggy and mushy climates surrounding William and Mary College in Williamsburg, James Madison instead went to the College of New Jersey (Princeton) for his health
James Madison, along with Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe, created the Republican Party (also known as the Democratic Republican Party or Jeffersonian Republican Party) in 1792
James Madison’s wife Dolley Payne was gifted a pet parrot named Polly— who was notorious for being aggressive towards humans (thus biting Madison’s finger in front of guests during one occasion)
James Madison personally knew Aaron Burr and Philip Freneau ever since they were all in college
James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, reported by a girl walking down the street, could once be seen playing with a neighbor’s pet monkey
James Madison had a long-lasting five decade friendship with Thomas Jefferson
James Madison would eventually have a fall-out with not only Alexander Hamilton, but also George Washington over the belief of federal government and a national bank by the early 1790’s
While Thomas Jefferson in France, he and James Madison would enjoy measuring animals, comparing them to their counterparts (North American animals compared to their similar species in Europe), and telling each other of their findings
James Madison, while he was in college, would last on a five-hour sleep schedule due to studying until he collapsed from a breakdown (this made him stay at the college for an extra year to restore his weakened health)
James Madison had never been good with marital relationships (being allegedly rejected by Freneau’s sister Mary and dumped by Kitty Floyd in the 1780s), but eventually married the 26 year-old widow Dolley Payne in 1794
James Madison was a MASSIVE fan of ice cream, along with his wife Dolley, whose favorite flavor was oyster

It's Boston massacre day. Visited these souls in October 2023.
Also, it's presidential primary day for 15 states. Consider filling in the uncommitted box to send a message to Joe Biden to stop funding israel and call for a permanent ceasefire! Free Palestine!
