Endgame

I stopped blogging this drama some time ago because nothing new seemed to be happening. Oh, there was tons of telenovela drama, but none of it was "moving the needle" to quote Meghan. Even the Lady C and Tom Bower books were not very interesting, at least to me. I think they were significant in that they shone a spotlight on the various lies and misinterpretations, which I think helped flip the narrative on these two idiots, but if you've been following the shenanigans closely, as I have, they had few surprises.

I do have posts on the Netflix documentary because those had real revelations. However, I think this The Hill article is the real game changer. The Eye of Sauron has turned itself upon them, so to speak.

Those are pretty strong words, and so are these:

"U.S. national security." Wowza.

What's interesting is that a few days ago, this was The Hill's viewpoint:

Way back in December 19th this was a "you" problem in the eyes of the Washington establishment (which is what The Hill represents), now suddenly it's an "us" problem. What changed?

Well, this IPSO poll came out in the UK, showing that the documentary did not affect royal popularity at all. The Brits are calling it inaccurate and the personal popularity numbers were not affected at all.

https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/britons-more-likely-judge-harry-and-meghan-documentary-inaccurate-depiction-events-crown

YouGov also got positive results for the monarchy.

I haven't seen similar polls regarding the Commonwealth though, but I bet they were done and I bet the results weren't good. The documentary got strong international ratings and the Harkles are going to find out that success is a double-edged sword.

It's going to be interesting to see where this goes. So far, the results are encouraging. Hello, Colonel Kate!

Trooping isn't until June but that got announced in December, which is fascinating.

And Charles' coronation was budget friendly back in October, but it will now be "glorious" pomp and pageantry showcasing UK plc and, no doubt, the Commonwealth.

Harry effed around and now he is going to find out that attacking the family is fun gossip that important people don't care about but attacking an institution that is part of the US national security establishment is a different matter altogether. A lot of people are now going to reassess their tacit support of the Harkles.

It will take a while because no one will admit Harry's Invictus role was axed because of a Netflix drama or internet trolling during the Wales' Caribbean tour, but that will be the eventual result. It will take years and it will be camouflaged as a "reorganization" or "rethinking" of the organization (everything military is now in flux as the establishment analyzes the implications of the Ukraine war) but he's going to be out. Notice that Sunshine Sachs leapt out of the sinking ship way back in September. That was likely the canary in the coal mine.

https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/20220924150955/meghan-markle-parts-ways-sunshine-sachs-pr-firm/

I doubt anyone reads this blog anymore since so many fantastic people are covering this drama now, but I'm compulsive about completing tasks so I'll be covering the endgame (as Scobie would put it, although the monarchy will not be the one losing this game).

Well, I'm new to your blog and I confess to being surprised by the new revelations, especially the one about Willy destroying his marriage to Kate, I think it has to do with his temper dealing with all the responsibility of the crown and the pressure of the press and the public perhaps? And although you haven't mentioned a divorce, this could end up causing one, after all, a marriage isn't just about love.

(ask from 06 March 2023)

Yeah, his temper is likely a factor. Also the problem that he's emotionally unstable. I consider Kate to be an emotionally stable person. Or, at least, far more stable than William.

Consider Father's Day 2023 in the UK. Did William do a post acknowledging his father, aka THE KING? Nope.

Because he's a stubborn, petulant, anxious, unhinged brat just like his brother, Harry.

William was a grown adult of more than 30 years when he insinuated to Jane Goodall that he was going to destroy all the ivory in the royal collection.

He does not consider the long range implications of things when he pops his mouth off. Just like his brother. It's why William issued unnecessary words after the Lady Susan Hussey "incident" a year ago. It's why he issued an unnecessary speech at the end of his Caribbean tour in 2022.

William isn't practiced or polished; he's spoiled and pampered. He refuses to learn because he thinks he's above it all.

The dude is going to have to learn the hard way.

Marcus Ryder: Ignorant moron or hoping for genocide?

The Little Mermaid [ed: 2023] has been criticized by a prominent media diversity advocate for failing to acknowledge the horrors of slavery in the Caribbean. Marcus Ryder, an influential British campaigner who also chairs the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, celebrated the casting of Halle Bailey but took issue with the film’s glossy depiction of racial harmony.

wait for it...

He said that Disney could have set the film in Haiti after it had overthrown the shackles of slavery, with Ariel meeting her prince against the backdrop of burgeoning racial harmony.

extraordinary

For those not up on the history of Haiti, after it had overthrown the shackles of slavery it committed genocide. Literal, kill-the-children-for-having-the-wrong-skin-color genocide. Mass rape was involved too. Jean-Jacques Dessalines might have earned himself a special place in Hell by proclaiming a truce after the first round of slaughter wherein the surviving whites could come out of hiding and get amnesty, but this was a ruse to set up a second round of slaughter on anyone who came out.

This is not what a normal person would call "burgeoning racial harmony".

Do you think mister you-should-acknowledge-the-horrors is failing to acknowledge the nextdoor horrors because he has shit for brains, or because he knows and thinks it was good actually?

Marcus Ryder continues being a disgrace in his blog post:

Haiti was the first Caribbean country to throw off the shackles of slavery and most importantly in its constitution of 1805 explicitly denounces the idea of different “races” proclaiming true equality.

That is a lie.

The Haitian Constitution of 1805 can be read on Wikisource. It does not use explicitly use the word "races" at all. It does, however, engage in explicit racial inequality in Article Twelve, which I quote here:

No whiteman of whatever nation he may be, shall put his foot on this territory with the title of master or proprietor, neither shall he in future acquire any property therein.

I checked the original French just in case there was something funky about the translation: "Aucun blanc, quelle que soit sa nation…"

This guy is deeply incompetent at a topic he's paid to do and has been doing for a long time. He's intensely focused on race race race, and he gets easily checkable things wrong. He's so thoroughly wrong he starts to be an anthropological case study: what are the revealed preferences of a system which employs this guy?

for the gen7 portion of his ribbon master journey, reides the kingdra left the familiar lands and seas of hoenn for a region that was entirely new to him: alola!

alola is a region that is extremely close to my heart. since i'm from the caribbean, i'm very fond of island settings - they always have such a cozy, home-like vibe to me. the hype leading up to sun and moon's release was also probably one of my favorite periods of time in the pokemon fandom ever... and the games totally lived up to all of my expectations. tbh, they surpassed them! so... as reides arrived in my copy of pokemon sun - with his same ol' goal of gathering all of the ribbons that the gen had to offer - i hoped that his time in alola would add to my lovely memories of the region.

i still haven't set up a definitive index for my ribbon master posts on my personal site, but that WILL exist in the (hopefully near) future. i have a placeholder set aside in my pokemon shrine and everything. until then, like always... you can see them all over on that site's blog page. (i worked really hard on making that WHOLE site responsive on mobile devices recently!!! so those posts are now way easier to read on mobile hehe.) alternatively, you can just peek in my ribbon master tag here on tumblr.

if you're all caught up to speed on my lovely kingdra's journey, welcome to the next installment of it!!! give it up for gen7!!!

much like my copy of y version, i had a post-game set up in my copy of pokemon sun. this - paired with the literal handful of ribbons that alola has to offer - would serve to make reides' time in alola pretty short... unless something Awful happened. in gen6, the battle maison's difficulty totally blindsided me, so i was a bit wary as we went into the gen7 portion of this journey. despite having a post-game file, i never once even stepped foot near the battle tree... that portion of poni island was virtually untouched. LMFAO. i wasn't in a hurry to get to that, so i decided i'd leave it for last. the first ribbon i'd handle would be the battle royal (yes, 'royal'... not 'royale'... if i typo it as such, i apologize. number one victory royale yeah fortnite we bout to get down, etc) master ribbon.

much like my predicament with the battle tree, i'd never taken this game mode on (beyond the battle that they essentially force you into during the plot), so i wasn't sure what to expect. i also wanted to take advantage of a new feature that was added in for the gen7 games before involving reides in any battles. i checked my bag to be sure that i could do it, and, lo and behold...

...i had a gold bottlecap! this was a really welcome sight because reides' ivs were all PRETTY shabby (i'm talking, like, single-digits shabby. ftr, a pokemon's ivs per stat can cap at 31, so... yeah). it makes his stellar performance in all the battle towers thus far all the more impressive, but i still wanted to treat him to something truly special.

there isn't a ribbon linked to hyper training a pokemon (in this gen or in any future gens up to the current one), but this was still really lovely to see. with reides now achieving a maxed-out stat of 31 in each of his ivs, we headed on over to the battle royal dome on akala island.

the battle royal game mode is pretty interesting. your pokemon basically enters a wacky battle against 3 other pokemon. they're not specifically ganging up on you, though. according to serebii.net: you go in with 3 pokémon, and as soon as one player has lost each of their pokémon, then the battle is over. to determine the winner, the results are tallied up based on how many pokémon each player managed to take out, as well as how many pokémon they have remaining.

now, i'm not gonna lie. i went into this game mode COMPLETELY clueless as to what was going on. i did virtually no prep for it, instead just using albatross the latios, persana the suicune, and, of course, reides for each of the battles. to give you an idea of how 'out of it' i was... whenever i take on these challenges, i like to give each of my pokemon an item to help them out. even if it's just a sitrus berry, i think the extra support is really good for a pokemon to have. this challenge was no different; i decided that i'd give albatross a latiosite and that i'd mega-evolve him during the battle royals. and, uh... it turns out that i somehow gave him a protector (yes, the item that serves no purpose aside from evolving rhydon) because it just-so-happened to be in my bag right next to my latiosite. i didn't even notice for all 4 of the battles i took part in within the dome. (i just assumed i couldn't mega-evolve him because i didn't meet some weird standard in the game. i simply did not question it. and i definitely didn't even try to amend it...)

...anyway, my weird blunders aside, the battles themselves were pretty fun! i wasn't a fan of how laggy they could get, but i really enjoyed the sheer chaos that they presented, haha! furthermore, taking part in them reminded me of incineroar, who's one of my all-time fav pokemon, so that was awesome. i climbed the ranks easily, only losing the hyper-rank and master-rank battles once each. fsr, i didn't take a single picture of these battles - but i DID take one of a victory screen.

the grind to the ribbon was a short one, and, soon, reides had his very first ribbon from the alola region.

right after getting this ribbon, reides and i headed over to the summit of mount lanakila so that i could defend my status as the champion of the alola league! this meant being tested by each of the members of the elite four - including the iconic acerola, who had a bit of a ghostly moment thanks to my top-tier 3ds photography skills.

after fighting our way through everyone, i approached my throne.

i took a seat upon it... and was soon approached in turn!

it was awesome to face hau again after all these years!! he's such an incredible rival; taking on his team had me feeling so nostalgic. of course, reides, who was at level 100, managed to sweep his way through everyone (sorry, guys) - but it was still a whole lot of fun!

for helping me defend my title as the alolan champion, reides was granted membership into the alolan hall of fame... and, for that, he got the alola champion ribbon!

the only two ribbons left for reides in alola were the ones linked to the battle tree. it was time for me to brave the rest of poni island and finally unlock it!

but, before that... i actually decided to send reides to my copy of ultra sun! much like my copy of sun, i hadn't unlocked the battle tree over there, either... but there was a crucial difference in this file. you see, i had WAY more pokemon left in my pc boxes in ultra sun compared to my boxes in sun. this is because i moved most of my pokemon over to ultra sun when the ultra sun & ultra moon games released. (i also NEEDED to take photos in the pokemon studios that were added to the region in those ultra games - but i'll write more about that later!) i figured that if the battle tree ended up giving me a lot of trouble, i'd need access to a wider pool of pokemon so that i could teambuild. it was basically a precaution above all else!

once reides was finally in this expanded-on version of alola, we headed on over to poni island and got to exploring.

upon approaching the battle tree, we ran into two familiar faces!

red and gr- um, i mean, blue - were here! (kind of hilarious that they localized his name as 'blue' when his pants and shoes are very clearly green as a nod to the original japanese green version, but i get it... it's a nod to the north american red & blue versions... so it's Understandable!!!) the return of the original kanto region champions is one of the most hype things ever. i knew about this from before, as it blew everyone's minds back when the info came out. it had me PRAYING for a similar cameo for the johto trainers in a future generation. sadly, that cameo hasn't happened yet, but i'm still hoping for an updated, future-silver design someday!

anyway - immediately, blue asked if i'd like to challenge him or red as a little 'welcome to the battle tree' present. i opted to fight blue, since i had just fought red during the soulsilver part of reides' journey and i decided that alternating between the two would be cool.

he was absolutely serving in said battle, let me tell you. he was pretty challenging even with the level difference between us, but reides still managed to emerge victorious.

after our battle, blue revealed his and red's shared purpose for arriving in the alola region. it was really nice to see them together again after the state of their relationship in soulsilver, where red was basically hiding himself away on mt. silver.

since we passed the little test that blue and red presented to us, reides and i finally entered the battle tree properly.

much like the battle maison ribbons, there are two ribbons available for achieving specific streaks in the battle tree. the first one - the battle tree great ribbon - required a steak of 20 wins in the normal battle mode (which includes beating a 'battle legend' on battle #20). i figured that this ribbon was similar to the skillful battler ribbon over in kalos; that the battles wouldn't be particularly challenging when compared to the following 50-steak ribbon awaiting me. i was kind of right in that it was pretty easy to get through these battles, but i do think that the normal mode got a bit of a difficulty boost when compared to the battle maison's normal mode.

i used this team for this part of the battle tree:

chips the kangaskhan (kangaskanite) ability: scrappy --> parental bond nature: jolly evs: 252 atk, 252 speed, 4 def - fake out - return - crunch - power-up punch

donatella the durant (choice scarf) ability: truant nature: jolly evs: 252 atk, 252 speed, 4 sp. defense - entrainment - toxic - x-scissor - iron head

applause the cloyster (focus sash) ability: skill link nature: adamant evs: 252 atk, 252 speed, 4 sp. defense - shell smash - icicle spear - ice shard (for landorus) - protect

since the ol' truant durant strat (that i detailed in my last post) works for the battle tree, i decided to take donatella and applause along for the ride, but chips did a great job and pretty much got through the normal mode of the battle tree all on her own. i was delighted, because mega-kangaskhan's whole gimmick where the baby kangaskhan gets powered-up is just so cute!

for the 20th battle, i swapped out donatella the durant for reides... and ended up running into none other than the legendary red, himself!

i absolutely love how gen7 stuck to keeping red completely silent; it's an absolutely crucial part of his character, imo.

after beating red and securing the great ribbon, it was time for the true challenge... the battle tree master ribbon! this one was the classic 50-streaker. again, like its respective battle maison ribbon, i'd have to maintain this streak in the super battle mode - which meant stronger opponents and tougher battles.

i was absolutely not messing around for these battles, let me tell you. i opted for a slight variation of my battle maison team; rather than following donatella up with venus, i swapped them around and followed her up with applause the cloyster.

donatella the durant (choice scarf) ability: truant nature: jolly evs: 252 atk, 252 speed, 4 sp. defense - entrainment - toxic - x-scissor - iron head

applause the cloyster (focus sash) ability: skill link nature: adamant evs: 252 atk, 252 speed, 4 sp. defense - shell smash - icicle spear - spike canon (ideally, i'd have liked rock blast, but that's an egg move) - protect

venus the dragonite (lum berry) ability: multiscale nature: adamant evs: 252 atk, 252 speed, 4 sp. defense - earthquake - fire punch - dragon dance - protect

by following up my durant with cloyster, it reduced the amount of time needed to max out its buffed stats, as shell smash only requires 3 uses as opposed to dragon dance's 6. since i had a plan of action and simply had to execute it, my climb was a whole lot faster than the trials which the battle maison presented to me!!

since my climb was faster, i don't have too many horror stories to share regarding the stuff that i faced within it.

this guy didn't take losing very well. i think he also somehow possessed my camera, because i have NO IDEA why the glare is so bad in this picture.

this guy also summed up the exact reason why i'm doing this ribbon master challenge in the first place. He Gets It. that's what pokemon is all about, babey! the battle tree also has a neat little mechanic wherein you face special trainers every 10 battles. during my climb, the special trainers that i faced were plumeria, cynthia, kukui and grimsley! (cynthia also almost broke my streak, because of fucking course she would scare me like that. her garchomp really is a force to be reckoned with; i love the two of them so much.)

grimsley is one of my favorite pokemon characters of all-time, so it's really wild that he's just... inexplicably in alola. i remember stumbling upon him during my first playthrough - COMPLETELY unspoilt about him even being in the game - and literally doing a double-take! either way, i'm so happy that he showed up during my ribbon master challenge, as i didn't get to take him on in unova due to the lack of ribbons over there.

once i beat battle 49, it was time to swap out venus the dragonite for reides the kingdra. i braced myself for battle 50; another battle versus red and his team!

he was pretty shocked to see me again and was a bit confused after losing, but i really enjoyed the match, myself! between the battle versus him in soulsilver and these two battles within the tree, i truly love how present red has been for this ribbon master challenge, haha.

defeating red and achieving a 50-battle streak in the battle tree's super mode meant reides got the final ribbon that he'd need in alola: the battle tree master ribbon. i was so relieved that the battle tree went a lot better than the battle maison, and that i didn't face the threat of getting hardstuck within a battle tower-esque zone...!! i had a lot of fun with it and, since i used cloyster with my durant instead of dragonite, the process was a whole lot faster, too.

reides and i weren't ready to leave alola just yet, though. we had one more task to handle. one more task... within the alola photo club.

this may not be relevant to the ribbon master challenge, but it was absolutely IMPERATIVE that we stopped by for a photoshoot together at the photo club! i rushed over to the receptionist, super excited about being able to take photos with reides, and got a really, REALLY surprising bit of dialogue from her.

i had NO IDEA that you could unlock special backdrops if you transferred pokemon from different games into alola... and, furthermore, i had no idea that hoenn's respective backdrop would be none other than the SEAFLOOR CAVERN!!! at first, i wondered if it changed based on your pokemon's original met location - because i HATCHED reides in the seafloor cavern, all the way back in emerald version!! but, no; it was simply a totally serendipitous surprise! naturally, we HAD to go there for our photoshoot.

i made sure to decorate the photos that we took in a fitting manner.

with those beautiful pictures taken and saved, reides was ready to move on to the next part of his ribbon master quest. moving on to gen8 required taking a huge step: one from the 3ds to none other than the NINTENDO SWITCH!!! how absolutely CRAZY is that?!?! it feels like just yesterday that i was booting up my beloved grey brick of a ds so that i could play emerald on it. admittedly, it was also quite the relief to transfer reides out of pokemon bank and into pokemon home, as the future of pokemon bank is rather precarious at the moment (even if it was confirmed that it'd outlast the general online feature shutdown in april 2024). i ended up taking all of the pals who have accompanied reides so far on his journey with him, too.

and so, with alola's ribbons safely pinned onto him, reides set his sights on the wonderful galar region! hopefully, i'll have my gen8 update ready for everyone soon. until then - i gotta extend yet another huge 'thank you' to you all for cheering reides on through his long, long journey!! until next time!

It’s wild none of the royal tumblr accounts have made a post or talked about Willem and maxima being confronted by protesters over slavery. Had this been W&K all these blogs would have never quit talking about it

I literally heard about it first from a random brazilian leftist account that twitter found appropriate to put on my feed which is wild lol but it's interesting that their caribbean tour went very well but south africa didn't

Feel free to send me asks even if we aren’t mutuals! Sending questions is a great way to interact before we become mutuals and/or start writing together.

All of my muses have multiple character forms, usually one per verse. Look in their headcanon tag (linked on the muses page).

I no longer tag smut.

Please trim your posts. If not, I might still write with you, just not follow. Long, uncut posts can give me anxiety.

I try to reply within a few days, but please give me a week or so before checking on replies via IMs. I try to match my partner’s length and format, so sometimes I’m just thinking of what to write.

I don’t follow blogs with a lot of political/current events stuff, because I come here to de-stress & have fun.

I frequently use "hon", "bruh", and/or "guy" to refer to people (singular or plural) in a gender-neutral way. LMK if those bother you at all.

If you don’t respond for 2+ months (including updates), I will unfollow. This doesn’t mean I won’t be open to interacting again. If we've been writing for a while & you need a break, just LMK & we can do something else when you're ready.

Please tag images you post that deal with AI/robots or horror/eldritch themes! I have a very active imagination, & just seeing these things easily leads to nightmares. If you don’t tag those, I can’t follow you (but we can still write/plot).

I want to try historical romance because some of the books you blog about sounded interesting but I don't want anything too old or hard to read. I prefer books with medium spice (my favorite YA is Red White & Royal Blue and I like Elle Kennedy).

Do you have suggestions for me?

Hi! A lot of historicals in my experience fall in that "medium spice" bucket in that there are a handful of quality sex scenes sprinkled throughout the book. Of course, they're a bit more explicit than new adult books like RWRB, but still "medium spice" in my opinion. Full disclose I have not read Elle Kennedy but I've been informed as to what you can expect from her books in terms of sex stuff, so here are my recs accordingly:

Try Sarah MacLean— she's been writing HR for over a decade and her voice feels relatively contemporary while still delivering an immersive historical setting. I'd strongly recommend starting with Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake. It's all about a woman taking back control of her own life rather than succumbing to passivity, and the hero is very smooth and very very hot. And it has great fat rep.

After that, Sarah's Rule of Scoundrels series is definitely worth checking out since it introduces you to the underworld side of the subgenre as it's centered around a gambling hell. My favorites are A Rogue By Any Other Name (childhood friends who fell out, and he forcibly marries her for her land and now doesn't know what to do because Feelings) and One Good Earl Deserves A Lover (nerdy heroine seeks out gambling hell co-owner for sex lessons). If you want to get even more grittier, her Bareknuckle Bastards series is about three siblings who escape their evil father and become prizefighters in London and eventually come to "rule" the underworld. My favorite is Brazen and the Beast, which is about a businesswoman and one of the siblings (named Beast!) whose first meeting involves her finding him tied up in her carriage, them kissing, and her promptly shoving him out said carriage.

Sarah's latest Hell's Belles series has the most contemporary tone because it's about a feminist vigilante girl gang righting gender/class/race/sexuality-based wrongs of the era. My favorites in this series are Heartbreaker (a social chameleon heroine who breaks unwanted society matches and a stern brunch daddy duke who has always *seen* her), and Knockout (sunshine heroine who specializes in explosives, and a grumpy cop hero), which just came out.

Adriana Herrera writes gorgeous historical romances that feel so classic while also proving to naysayers that you can write diverse characters and settings without feeling anachronistic. A Caribbean Heiress in Paris has a Dominican heroine who is in Paris to sell rum from her distillery, and enters into a marriage of convenience with a Scottish whisky distiller.

I'd also rec Adriana's An Island Princess Starts A Scandal— it's a sapphic romance between a silver fox heroine/railway magnate and a Venezuelan heiress who asks her to take her around Parisian lesbian hotspots in exchange for land critical to a railroad.

Since you like Red, White, and Royal Blue, I'd recommend checking out K.J. Charles, who writes m/m historical romances that are humorous and have great banter while still packing suuuuch an emotional punch. The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen is about a baronet who finds himself being blackmailed by his smuggler ex-hook-up, but end up working together. A Nobleman's Guide to Seducing a Scoundrel is the next book in the series and comes out September 19th— it's a romance between a new earl and the smuggler-secretary he hires, and I'm obsessed (here is my review).

Vivienne Lorret's Mating Habits of Scoundrels series also deliver on the humor and banter along with girl gang shenanigans and great romances. My favorites are My Kind of Earl (a nerdy heroine/bit o'rough hero with a side of beetroot bombs) and How to Steal a Scoundrel's Heart (the heroine is "ruined" and agrees to be the hero's mistress except, well, Feelings).

Also! If you want to try out the genre by starting with novellas, Alexandra Vasti's Halifax Hellions series is free if you subscribe to her newsletter. It has all the hits spread out across three books: best friend's brother who's secretly in love with the heroine, an older, kinky hero who hates himself for wanting to "corrupt" a heroine who absolutely wants it, and a heroine who makes up a husband for Reasons only to find out that he's real... and she must fake-marry him.
