I just love Daring’s expression in the fourth panel. He looks so proud to have done something so dumb. And in defense of the kids in the last panel, how are you SUPPOSED to react when someone randomly trauma-dumps on you?

EAH Dorm Rooms Headcanons pt 21
Supporting Cast Addition
You know them, you love them, you wished you had character info/ doll of them! It's the supporting characters of EAH!
During EAH run there were many background characters in the show and book that we were curious about. Sadly, some stayed on the pages of the book series or had a limit screen time in the webseries.
I will not do all of the background characters because that would take too long.
Prudence and Charlotte Dorm
Both girls have wicked destinies, but one just wants to dance and the other just wants to play sports.
Prudence and Charlotte Step are Ashlynn's future stepsisters (step cousins) and are destined to be cruel to Ashlynn once the current Cinderella dies and her father marries one of the Evil Step-Librarians.
When, they were first introduced in 'Ashlynn Fashion Frolic' where they hijack Ashlynn's fashion show. In the end they get their karma when Ashlynn's curse turns the designer gowns into potato sacks leaving the sisters humiliate and punished by Headmaster Grimm by putting on a show without his permission and making a mess in the cafeteria.
Like most siblings Prudence and Charlotte share a room both at home and at school.
Due to Ashlynn's destiny she cleans their room and makes their outfits for them. Luckily Ashlynn has her friends and woodland critters to help her. When they befriend Ashlynn they clean their room themselves.
Their room is messy on purpose so Ashlynn will have a hard time cleaning up. Between the Wonderlanders and Sparrow Hood they're in the middle. Sparrow being 1st place, the Steps being 2nd place, and the Wonderlanders being 3rd place.
Their dorm is either the same size as Ashlynn & Briar or Duchess and Lizzie. It's a mixture of both elegant and tacky with a ton of gold motifs. Their canopy beds, vanity sets, and other furniture is made of gold.
Thier divider walls would have pictures of themselves, friends, mother, and aunt. It's not until they become friends with Ashlynn do they add her to the mix.
Prudence (the purple one) has a love for dancing despite not being good at it. Her side of the dorm has a ballet bar, a lot of cds to dance to, and a lot of space to dance.
Charlotte (the red one) has a love of football (and maybe other sports) and has football equipment, trophies, and exercise gear on her side of the dorm.
Lilly-Bo and Muffy's dorm
One loses her sheep every two seconds and one loses her curds after getting scared by a spider.
Both girls are from popular nursery rhymes and have animal companions in their tales.
I'm gonna be honest the reason I paired these two together was because of the pastel aesthetic they had going on with Lilly-Bo having a cottagecore and Muffy maybe having a pastel goth vibe.
Lilly-Bo's side of the dorm:
Lilly-Bo is the future Little Bo Peep and is doing a great job of that by losing her sheep. Not much is known about her due to being a background character except her best friend is the son of the Hero of Haarlem and she loses her sheep.
Lilly-Bo has a total of five sheep whom she cares for despite losing them. Due to their size and how many there are they sleep in the stable like the other large pets at night but can roam around the school with Lilly-Bo during the day.
Lilly-Bo's side of the dorm has a pastel and cottagecore vibe.
Her side of the dorm is filled with sheep motifs. She would have a collection of sheep plushies.
She owns a ton of running shoes to keep up with her sheep and owns a few trophies from track and field.
Due to her destiny Lilly-Bo as a collection of crooks and bonnets for every occasion. She even has bonnets for her sheep.
Muffy's side of the dorm:
Muffy is the future Little Miss Muffet who'll eat curds and whey and gets scared off by a spider. Not much is known about her due to her appearing late in the series, what is known is she's a good business woman with a love of spiders and yo-curd.
Muffy doesn't fear Mr. Spider and are in fact business partners seeing as she runs a frozen yo-curd buisiness.
Mr. Spider is a family fan and a lot of Muffy's products (like the cup she holds above) are inspired by him.
Like I said above about Mr. Spider being an influence of Muffy most of her furniture and clothes have spiderweb designs on them.
She totally has fairy lights and many tuffets throughout her side of the dorm.
She most likely isn't in her dorm that much due to running her business. She mainly uses it for homework, sleep, and to come up with new flavors for her yo-curd stand.
Harley's side of the dorm:
He's the son of a hero who saved the town by flooding with his thumb and is living up to his destiny when he's not distracted.
Not much is known about her due to being a background character except her best friend is Lilly-Bo, he's in Apple's fan club, and he plugs up leaks.
Due to his story, he takes pride in his Dutch heritage and has Dutch design and his room and tulips.
For the sake of irony, he has a waterbed that leaks a lot.
Lilly-Bo gives him blankets and sweaters that are made from her sheep's wool. Harley treasures them and finds them super comfy.
Due to always stopping leaks, Harley has nail kit and bandages to fix broken nails and hand masks to give his hands a break.
He also has repair kits with tape and cement to fix leaks himself.
He's a huge fan of Apple White and has posters and autographs of her surrounding his room.
Tiny's side of the dorm:
He's a giant with a heart as big as he is.
Tiny is the future Giant in Jack and the Beanstalk and despite being the antagonist he's a big sweetheart.
Being the tallest student at Ever After High School he has the biggest dorm in the school, tower, or stays above the clouds in a beanstalk.
His bed is made out of clouds and is one of the softest beds in school.
Before Headmaster Grimm sabotaged him Tiny was on the same dance level as Duchess, and he is very athletic to be on the school's football team. So, his dorm room is big enough for him to move around.
Tiny is athletic and is on many sports teams so he has a case full of trophies, but being a giant the trophies are tiny and are in a little case like a collector with tiny porcelain dolls.
Lily White's side of the dorm:
She's a chess piece set to be queen.
Lily only appeared briefly in 'Way Too Wonderland' so not much is known about her.
Like the other Wonderlanders she is messy most likely doesn't have a roommate due to arriving so late in the year.
Her room is designed like a chess board and chess motifs throughout her room.
Has a canopy bed and other chess furniture.
She'd be into chess and croquet so she has the equipment in her room.
Three Little Pigs and Three Billy Goats Gruff :
Two sets of brothers (maybe triplets) who supply the comic relief in the series.
Both were seen in the beginning of the series until the show decided to replace the Three Little Pigs for the Three Billy Goats Gruff for some strange reason. In my opinion they should've kept both and make them have a rivalry with each other (especially the smallest of the groups).
While the school normally has two to a dorm room the Three Little Pigs and Three Billy Goats Gruff's are the only ones with three to a dorm.
They have triple bunkbeds with the youngest at the top bunk and oldest at the bottom bunk.
Since they're the shortest students their dorm is the same size as Duchess & Lizzie, Cupid & Blondie, or Ramona & Justine.
The room is divided in three sections so each pig and goat gets his own space.

counting dead stars by feelingstabby
(graphic depictions of violence)
He doesn’t look like a hero, but then again not many do these days. A hand is extended, and Izuku blinks up at it with wide, dark eyes.
It looks like something new. It looks like hope.
Sometimes feeling nothing at all is better than feeling everything at once, but Izuku thinks distantly that this time he wouldn’t want to give this up for anything.
Or, with a power that lets him get lost in the void in people’s minds, Izuku struggles to learn that he can be happy too.
come home to me by aloera
“I shouldn’t have moved out of the way,” Katsuki sighs. “I should have let that fucking asshole hit us, honestly, a broken back would be better than this.”
Masochist, Eijirou thinks and, in the second right before Katsuki chokes and focuses intensely on salvaging what's left of their midnight haul, he realizes that this might be a problem.
Bakugou and Kirishima get hit by a quirk that lets them hear each others' thoughts. It goes much better (and much worse) than either of them expect.
a penny for your thoughts by cassiopeia721
(graphic depictions of violence)
How is Eri able to forgive him, to look at him like he’s a hero, when he failed her so badly for so long? If he had been stronger, faster, better with his quirk, he would have been able to get her out of their faster, save her right when she first ran into him instead of so much later. Sir Nighteye was right about him not deserving—
Problem Child? comes Aizawa-sensei’s voice. He sounds tired and a bit irritated, as always, but beneath that there’s a layer of sheer incredulity.
Problem Child? his voice comes again. This time Izuku finally recognizes where it’s coming from— his own head. He can feel a sharp, painful jolt of panic physically stabbing through his chest, and he can’t help but bite back an emphatic shit.
Or: While visiting Eri at the hospital following her rescue from the Shie Hassaikai, Izuku and Aizawa-sensei both run into a nurse with a telepathy based quirk, and Izuku finds himself in a telepathic bond with his teacher. This is... somewhat worrying, considering how many secrets Izuku needs to keep.

haarlem by spqr
(mature)
“Hannibal,” he thinks he says. He gets told later that he doesn’t really say it at all, but that the entire police station—most of which is waiting outside in the rainy parking lot—hears his voice clattering around inside their skulls like someone standing on a roof banging pots and pans and screaming at the top of his lungs: HANNIBAL, HANNIBAL, HANNIBAL.

A Faithful Companion by LindtLuirae
For as long as Atsumu could remember, there was another voice in his head.
quiet company by doxian
Like Kuroo does every morning, he senses Kenma before he sees him. Kenma isn’t awake yet - he’s toying with the idea of total wakefulness, his flickering consciousness brushing against the back of Kuroo’s brain.
Kuroo has started his day like this almost every day for the last 15 years of his life, and he hasn’t tired of it yet. He doubts he ever will.

swords, i guess by victortor
Ying is a sword spirit and Jiang Cheng is his wielder. This wasn't always true.
No Compasses, No Signs by brooklinegirl
(explicit)
The old woman looks at Lan Zhan. "What's his name?"
Lan Zhan looks down at the man's pale, slack face, and presses his own hand against the cut, trying to staunch the blood flow with his glove. "Wei Ying," he says without thinking about it.
The man stirs slightly in his arms, his eyes blinking open for a moment. "Oh," he says faintly. "It's you."
Lan Zhan stares down at him, the stranger in his arms, whose name is Wei Ying. Which is something Lan Zhan knows. How does he know that? How does—he can't—this isn't—
"It's okay," Wei Ying says, reaching up to pat vaguely at Lan Zhan's face. "It's all—" His eyes slip closed again and he's limp in Lan Zhan's arms.
Yeah I Know How You Like It by phnelt
(explicit)
Lan Wangji leaned forward to lick the sweat off of Wei Wuxian’s neck. “I am fucking you,” he said as Wei Wuxian started to whine.
He took his hand away, blinking his way back into the jingshi. Lan Wangji was laying there as unruffled as ever.
“You really like the begging, huh?” Wei Wuxian said weakly.
Lan Wangji’s smile was so warm, his eyes so soft. He said, “Wei Ying’s voice is pleasing to me.”
---
Wei Wuxian can read Lan Wangji's mind. He's surprised by what he finds there.

Empathy by Blind_Author
John is an empath. Which isn't nearly as much fun as it sounds. Most of the time, it’s not even useful.
I See You Through by belovedmuerto
John has never asked Sherlock about his past, his childhood, the reason he quails in lonely misery almost every time he sees his brother. He’s never needed to.

Your Heart on Your Sleeve by cywscross
Stiles is an empath, and it’s just his luck that he’s surrounded by broken people. Then again, it’s not like he has any room to talk either. Surprisingly enough, Peter helps, something neither of them realizes for a good long while.
Blue Swede by twothumbsandnostakeincanon (somanyofthekids)
Peter was suspicious.
Just generally, as a person. He always assumed his fellow man had impure motives until they proved otherwise, and then he still kept an eye out.
But at this particular moment, he was specifically suspicious of Derek’s new girlfriend.
He's not the only one.
Everything's Okay (I'm here; I'll find you) by finnickyfox
Peter's minding his own business, trapped in murderous grief, when a voice kicks down the door into his head, declaring everything will be alright. But what the hell does this voice know?
Apparently, a lot.
One werewolf, one telepathic bond, two comas—a classic recipe for love.

George R.R Martin isn't lesser of an author for being a feminist
I saw someone put this man down in favor of Tolkien because Tolkien was 'a man who fought in one of the most brutal battles in history - WWI' and Martin was 'a man who safely recides in his armchair and is a feminist'.
Excuse me?
Why does his feminism discredit him? I never actually read the books, but I heard that in the books the female characters are less of a girlboss!Modern feminists but more old school and it acknowledges that female biology comes with stuff like less of a muscle mass.
People really should learn that A, there is a huge difference between old school feminism and modern feminism and someone who says they're a feminist doesn't automatically mean they are a modern wave feminist.
People should also learn that B, we can acknowledge that women are physically weaker whilst simultaneously point out that there is still sexism in the older days of warfare regarding the notion of female warfare. Like, the person in question used how Jean D'Arc inspired the French army, clearly this person has forgotten she was burnt at the stake for wearing men's clothing and that not everyone appreciated her. The blatant hero worship she has now is something she had to garner over time.
I'm Dutch, my country also has a heroic female figure, her name is Kenau Simonsdochter Hasselaer. When the city of Haarlem was under siege, she inspired the women and children to help with repairs to the wall keeping the Spaniards out and encouraged everyone to throw burning objects over the walls. She supposedly led 300 women to assault Spanish soldiers with these burning objects, but did she and the 300 women get remembered fondly?
Not until recent times.
Did you know that 'Kenau' has been used as an insult to masculine women or women trying to take up a man's profession over here? Its only in recent generations that she became heralded as a hero and her name stopped being used as an insult.
It's one thing to prefer men in warfare (especially in times when we didn't have weapons that could be used by everyone and still required strength to use), but its a whole other thing to demonize the women who do take up weapons.
From what I've heard of the books, that's the angle George R.R. Martin is writing from and honestly that is an important angle. Because female patriots deserve to be remembered with just as much respect as their male counterparts, if not more because of the fact they fought the enemy despite being physically weaker.
Thirdly, Considering that argument was coming from another person from the new world- don't make me laugh at glorifying Tolkien for having fought in WWI and putting Martin down for not having done so when this person is sitting just as comfortable as Martin.
Part of why most people from the New World are especially offensive in their ignorance regarding gruesome topics like warfare, is the fact that the North American continent and Australia is so god damn safe when it comes to war. You guys usually fight in wars far away from your general public and global conflicts affect you guys the least out of everyone.
Whereas over here in a country like the Netherlands, we are safe from Russia. But we know from experience that Russia could invade our country too someday. We deal with the refugees, the way the war is impacting the European financial world and bussiness, etc, etc.
That's the thing if your continent is riddled with countries- if one war breaks out then even countries surrounding the conflict will feel it and look on with frantic eyes wondering if their country is next.
I feel like Americans especially are pussies really in a lot of ways and sometimes I wonder if the pro-military attitude in the US is an attempt to compensate and make them feel like they aren't the most well-cushioned children around the planet when it comes to warfare.
If you aren't from the Old World, you don't get to talk shit to others about being well-cushioned because you are so too.

Jacob Jacobsz de Wet II - Robert the Bruce, King of Scotland (1274-1329) - 1684-6
Robert I (11 July 1274 – 7 June 1329), popularly known as Robert the Bruce (Medieval Gaelic: Roibert a Briuis; Modern Scottish Gaelic: Raibeart Brus; Norman French: Robert de Brus or Robert de Bruys; Early Scots: Robert Brus; Latin: Robertus Brussius), was King of Scots from 1306 to his death in 1329. Robert was one of the most famous warriors of his generation and eventually led Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence against England. He fought successfully during his reign to regain Scotland's place as an independent country and is now revered in Scotland as a national hero.
His paternal fourth great-grandfather was King David I. Robert's grandfather, Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale, was one of the claimants to the Scottish throne during the "Great Cause". As Earl of Carrick, Robert the Bruce supported his family's claim to the Scottish throne and took part in William Wallace's revolt against Edward I of England. Appointed in 1298 as a Guardian of Scotland alongside his chief rival for the throne, John Comyn of Badenoch, and William Lamberton, Bishop of St Andrews, Robert resigned in 1300 because of his quarrels with Comyn and the apparently imminent restoration of John Balliol to the Scottish throne. After submitting to Edward I in 1302 and returning to "the king's peace," Robert inherited his family's claim to the Scottish throne upon his father's death.
Bruce's involvement in John Comyn's murder in February 1306 led to him being excommunicated by Pope Clement V (although he received absolution from Robert Wishart, Bishop of Glasgow). Bruce moved quickly to seize the throne, and was crowned king of Scots on 25 March 1306. Edward I's forces defeated Robert in the battle of Methven, forcing him to flee into hiding before re-emerging in 1307 to defeat an English army at Loudoun Hill and wage a highly successful guerrilla war against the English. Bruce defeated his othe opponents, destroying their strongholds and devastating their lands, and in 1309 held his first parliament at . A series of military victories between 1310 and 1314 won him control of much of Scotland, and at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, Robert defeated a much larger English army under Edward II of England, confirming the re-establishment of an independent Scottish kingdom. The battle marked a significant turning point, with Robert's armies now free to launch devastating raids throughout northern England, while also extending his war against the English to Ireland by sending an army to invade there and by appealing to the Irish to rise against Edward II's rule.
Despite Bannockburn and the capture of the final English stronghold at Berwick in 1318, Edward II refused to renounce his claim to the overlordship of Scotland. In 1320, the Scottish nobility submitted the Declaration of Arbroath to Pope John XXII, declaring Robert as their rightful monarch and asserting Scotland's status as an independent kingdom. In 1324, the Pope recognised Robert I as king of an independent Scotland, and in 1326, the Franco-Scottish alliance was renewed in the Treaty of Corbeil. In 1327, the English deposed Edward II in favour of his son, Edward III, and peace was concluded between Scotland and England with the Treaty of Edinburgh–Northampton in 1328, by which Edward III renounced all claims to sovereignty over Scotland.
Robert died in June 1329. His body is buried in Dunfermline Abbey, while his heart was interred in Melrose Abbey and his internal organs embalmed and placed in St Serf's Chapel, Dumbarton, site of the medieval Cardross Parish church.
Jacob Jacobsz de Wet II (1641, Haarlem – 1697, Amsterdam), also known as James de Witt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter known for a series of 110 portraits of Scottish monarchs, many of them mythical, produced for the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh during the reign of Charles II.

16th century Dutch folk hero, Kenau Simonsdochter Hasselaer, swordswoman defender of Haarlem, inspired by the awesome historical movie Kenau (listed on Amazon Prime as 1572: The Battle of Harlem). If you like stuff like Vikings and Gentleman Jack you’ll love it.

Art of the Terror Wardroom
You can hardly miss the conspicuous art adorning the walls of the Terror wardroom, floating in and out of view behind the heads of our beloved officers during the dinner scenes of our favourite show. For those of you who’ve been itching to take a closer look, I hope to provide some relief with this post.
A series of 6 prints decorate the left wall when looking down toward the head of the table. These engravings were made by the same artist, Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617). From left to right:
1. ‘Saturn’ from the series, ‘Gods in Niches’ (1592).
2. ‘Crucifixion in Allegorical Frame’ for Trou Moet Blycken, a historical rhetoricians’ chamber in Haarlem, Netherlands (1597).
3. ‘Samson’ from the series, ‘Heroes and Heroines from the Old Testament’ (1585-9).
4. ‘Anger’ from the series ‘The Vices’ (1585-9). (Yes, that’s a bear.)
5. ‘Mercury’ from the series, ‘The Planets’ (1597; print-maker Jacob Matham). [EDIT: More likely this version.]
6. ‘Fortitude’ from the series, ‘The Virtues’ (1585-9). [EDIT: More likely this version.]
And lastly, there is one other painting in the room. It’s on the opposite wall and near the foot of the table.
7. A portrait, ‘Queen Victoria’ (1938) by Sir George Hayter (1792-1871). The image in the wardroom appears to have been cropped from this painting.
That’s all for the Terror Wardroom! Watch this space for the Erebus Wardroom.
<Note: I have tried to identify the art from the show and provide dates and links as best I can; I cannot guarantee my findings are correct.>
