i think my favourite thing about aom is that you can tell everyone (except maybe alice) fucking hates each other but they're also trying to be so calm and polite about it. the breakfast scene where orpheus infodumps about mary is the best example of it. his pointed comments so clearly digging into sore spots for both melly and frederick, melly's seething tone of voice when orpheus addresses her about loyalty before immediately throwing the heat onto frederick, frederick just setting down his drink, dismissing the whole thing, and then immediately fucking off but not without one last pointed glance at orpheus, it's so good. like i am just waiting for these people to rip each other apart. alice is on her own quest and getting dragged into these people's beef by virtue of just existing near them and being way too nosy for her own good, it's the fucking best

Here's what you are in Marryat's code of signals! Happy Valentine's Day, friend!
Thank you my friend!! ❤️
In the 1847 (tenth) edition of Marryat's Code of Signals, I believe I found your intended message:
HOWEVER. The first thing I pulled up was the fourth edition of 1826, which has a distinctly different message for 943:
Hopefully no one would be sailing around in 1847 with an edition of Marryat's Code over 20 years out of date, but this could set up some pretty catastrophic misunderstandings...
"Update your software code book! OR ELSE."

New mission after exam period: start editing the Czech Wikipedia to remove the ridiculous homophobic bias
Fricking Frederick the Great?
English wiki: "Frederick was almost certainly homosexual, and his sexuality has been the subject of much study"
Czech wiki: (rough translation): "Some people claim that he might have been infertile or even a homosexual (gasp!), though this remains questionable"
Seriously, bite me.

@acgames your honor he's... one of a kind
He was a silly traumatized man so iconic (in both every bad and good way possible) everyone agreed he's this evil gay short gremlin and called it a day ever since 💃 it's of course deeper than this but this sums up at least the funny tip of the fritz iceberg!
He will gladly steal your male European intellectual via his blue eyes. We love and hate him dearly

Frederick's expression is cold, and it's all he can do to hide the trembling in his arms as he faces the musician standing before him.
It's not like it makes much difference, at this stage. Frederick's already tarnished reputation has been falling further and further to pieces, lately - even now, he can see the way that people look at him; their whispered words and judgemental gazes difficult to miss. He wishes he could say it doesn't bother him, but even now, after everything... he can still feel a hot shame creeping through him when he allows himself to dwell on the way people think of him.
But it doesn't matter. He's sure that now, watching him talk with Antonio, people must be curious, making up stories in their heads and imagining all kinds of wild theories as to what they think of each other. Yet... only Frederick knows the truth. And the taste of death that this man has brought him, time after time, is one he'll never forget.
"Mr. Paganini. I must say... your performance tonight was excellent, as always."

I wanted to make that one meme "this character can fit so much trauma in it" with Frederick but nah, he already has so much trauma.

I tried to make the teens of Borthethood of "Evil" from X-Men Evolution season 1 (with some headcannons) using this picrew:
Toad - Todd - 15 - Not Straight (still figuring shit out)
"I'm a dumb teen boy
I eat sticks and rocks and mud
I don't care about the goverment
And I really need a hug"
Blob - Fred - 17 - non-binary - has dyslexia
"The men up on the news
They try to tell us all that we will lose
But it’s so easy in this blue
Where everything is good.”
Quicksilver - Pietro - Romani and Jewish - 15 - aroace - has ADHD and low empathy - loves his friends a lot and it's very protective specially of his sister
"They said, "All teenagers scare the livin' shit out of me"
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes, or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me"
Avalanche - Lance - 17 - Bissexual - Is the mom of the grouo
So you're still thinking of me
Just like I know you should
I can not give you everything, you know I wish I could
I'm so high at the moment
I'm so caught up in this
Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke
But we still got love to give
Extra:
Scarlet Witch - Wanda - Romani and Jewish - 15 - Pansexual
I'm just a kid
And life is a nightmare
I'm just a kid
I know that it's not fair
Nobody cares
'Cause I'm alone and the world is having more fun than me tonight

Our past was slavery. We cannot recur to it with any sense of complacency or composure. The history of it is a record of stripes, a revelation of agony. Its breath is a sigh, its voice a groan, and we turn from it with a shudder. The duty of today is to meet the questions that confront us with intelligence and courage.
The Nation’s Problem by Frederick Douglass

I wrote 6k words today alone. I may die. Pretty sure I’m gonna die.
Total is 48k. I am STILL not done. It’s been 17 days. Dr. Chilton, sir, with all due respect—please release your hold on my brain.
Ha, just kidding. Don’t. Don’t ever leave.
