Did she keep you trapped?

#critical role #ygifs #fearne #cr3 #the way fearne Immediately needs to liberate trapped creatures with a desperation that makes my heart ache :) comedy?? nah Trauma :) #a lonely little girl growing up in a nightmare and her heart is so big she only sees the dream #and she grows up believing with all her love that her parents Love her. her nana Loves her. and they'll be together one day. #and then it's growing up realizing just how dark the shadows were around her but no her home was always lovely it has to be #and it's not their fault if something hurts. if anything it's hers right. shes the solution for them of course she was the problem after al #the nana she loves can't be the hag who took her for a prize the parents she's searching for can't have left her behind. #her home was never a cage she just Has to free every trapped creature she sees #she'll laugh lightly and often and shrug it all away because it's not heavy. it doesn't hurt her. she's fine. she's fearne. #love nana morri to death also a thousand percent sure she modified little fearne's memory A Ton to keep her :). #how times did fearne try to run away crying only to be given a grin and a postcard and those fears are just one more thing taken from her #and it's all so lovely and nothing hurts and she's totally fine #my galpaloway

 Then, on his arrival in Constantinople, after much counsel with himself, considering that he was already unequal to the amount of pressing business and believing that there was no room for delay, on the twenty-eighth of March he brought the aforesaid Valens into one of the suburbs​ and with the consent of all (for no one ventured to oppose) proclaimed him Augustus. Then he adorned him with the imperial insignia and put a diadem on his head, and brought him back in his own carriage, thus having indeed a lawful partner in his power, but, as the further course of our narrative will show, one who was as compliant as a subordinate. No sooner were these arrangements perfected without disturbance than both emperors were seized with violent and lingering fevers--

this was one of those illustrations that was originally supposed to be a 5 page comic until I realized I don't know anything about later roman empire architecture or visuals or art or anything, so we'll revisit that later. maybe

for right now though, these two are fascinating. we have two brothers acting as one body, even becoming ill in tandem with each other, it's giving This Throne Is Cursed. like, the last time I read about emperors coming down with life threatening illnesses, it was Caligula, and that moment in his biography marked a very specific tone shift. I spent the rest of the (first) time reading about Valens and Valentinian waiting for something comparable to Caligula's reign to happen lmao (Dio 59. 8. 1-2)

and since Caligula was already on the mind, I started thinking about Tiberius: I think he would've loved these two since he had a whole thing about twin-ification and brothers and etc etc etc. ofc, Rome is both a Mouth and a Tomb, so it's going to go badly for someone/everyone eventually, but honestly I think that Valentinian and Valens were the best we could've hoped for. like it could've been so much worse

#(drawing hearts around valens) hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii #roman empire tag #drawing tag #every day i think about valentinian bringing his brother into this and wondering how valens felt about it #especially since the over all arc is that he's constantly just trying to tread water managing everything from six different fronts #did you ever want things to go back to how they were!!!! did you dream of simpler times!!!!!! when it was just hard work and dirt #under your nails instead of the horrible scale of empire choking you out to the very end!!!!!!!!! did you hate your brother for it #im normal about valens. btw. (<<<said by a guy who made valens his icon on his main art blog) #anyway. (claps hands together) im going to go and write about bonifacio and mabini and lucan and crassus and the pharsalia #and mabini's writings on a failed revolution and bonifacio haunting the collective memory #i gotta condense it down to a thousand words. ideally. we are rambling around at around 2k and its unwieldy #valens #valentinian I #later Roman Empire tag

She kneeled down, weeping a good pace, and then she said, "Mr. Kyngston, shall I die without justice?" And I said, the poorest subject the Kyng hath, hath justice. And there with she laughed. - William Kingston writes to Thomas Cromwell the day after Anne's arrival in the Tower (May 3, 1536)

#historicwomendaily #anne boleyn #history #anneboleynedit #historyedit #anne of the thousand days #genevieve bujold #* #the fact that anne was literally in shock but still laughed at the idea of henry being just tells you everything you need to know #that's for everyone who thinks that henry commuting her sentence was a gesture of love #oh yes when your husband decides not to burn you alive but decapitates you instead #it's what every little girl dreams of #someday my king will come! #fingers crossed!

Ok I swear I'm gonna shut up and go to be bed and attempt to be even a little normal about this, but fuckin...special bonus episode adapting one of the most popular issues in the series and one of the most important, that drops out of nowhere, with uneven story lengths reflecting the needs of the stories, and with one of the two stories animated so as to do it justice properly, like. I could literally fucking cry, it's so exactly the avant-garde broken formalism I so desperately hoped for out of this show, so much willingness to take risks for the sake of the story they’re telling. I'm so happy. They did both 'Dream of a Thousand Cats' and 'Calliope' such great justice.

#the sandman #netflix sandman #sandman netflix #neil gaiman #dream of a thousand cats #not to mention the fucking complexity and nuance and humanity and monstrosity of 'Calliope' #like jesus christ the needle to thread there #the way it only gains more significance in the current day #the weight of the dark mirror held up to real life and I would imagine some deep ambivalence on Gneil's part #Calliope's rage and fear and outrage #the two women who briefly try to intervene and help madoc despite the horror he’s spewing #like damn the actor who played the woman who went to madoc's house was barely in it but just fucking phenomenal at that subtle dread #ye gods I think this is my favorite episode so far #megan whines into the empty abyss of cyberspace

hey guys by the way i was thinking a bit at night and i feel a bit bad about how i handled stuff yesterday. seeing a bunch of big ccs drop dream was genuinely great to see especially after such a long time which is why i was participating in the general euphoria, but we can't forget that the reason people are dropping him are serious. i know victims of similar things might not want to be reminded of the situation through memes and everything (btw for my blog i tag everything with #dream situation if you want to block that). so i hope people affected by this stuff are doing okay and im sorry if i participated in making it worse or if i was insensitive

#idk i saw some posts that made me rethink & im worried it mightve been insensitive or inappropriate #if you're a victim and you saw my posts memes etc and felt shitty about it im truly sorry #honestly that post thats gaining thousands of notes has been giving me anxiety for the past day i might turn off reblogs #alex.rambles.txt #dream situation #tw grooming mention

Today’s Haiku was so hard, I really struggled.

I had a million ideas, but today is one of the few times the format absolutely stinks—I always run out of syllables for my best ideas, so unfortunately, none of them really worked.

In any case, it’s the slightly different format again, but the reblog chain will still be updated, too.

Here are days 6-10 in reverse, plus a link to 1-5 as well.

10. Fate

One dreamt of true love

One lost her husband and son

One, hurt and ruthless.

i'm watching old concert videos again and theyre all so beautiful and full of life and i wanna go deep into the woods and scream and sing along to every single song

#i talk #im so fucking sentimental rn lmao #havent been to many concerts lately bc covid and also no one i know is coming here #alt j in nov 22 was amazing and black honey last nov was so so so good #they had the Coolest 90s postpunk grunge opening act theyre also local and called anger mgmt #i especially miss the little punk shows i used to go to #ahh the video of zsk and the audience singing along with antifascista #or the green day one in 2017 where the audience sang boulevard of broken dreams and american idiot #and the fucking frank iero one where i was like 1 meter away from him i almost died #or the tiny local new wave band at a free open air concert with an audience of like 10 people and everyone was dancing and vibing #all this was prompted by listening to bohemian rhapsody and getting emotional about that bc they also played that at the green day concert #and had thousands of people sing along #im not ok but like. in a good way

Every time the Ballerina farm discourses comes by, it sends shivers down my spine. For like personal reasons.

#I actually do harbour the dream of having a hobby farm one day #but then when I mention this to my father who actually grew up on a farm he gets a thousand yard stare and little annoyed with me #like the 35k oven and the ten kids are just….. #idk my dad doesn’t talk about his childhood bc it was so miserable #I literally just found out this year that my grandmother would hide her kids from CPS in the woods bc homeschooling was illegal then #and to be clear I hundred percent believe my dad and his siblings should have been in actual school #I found a newspaper clipping of an interview my dad #and he mentions his family having to choose between heating and food and that Michigan winters got pretty damn cold #and food is such a big deal in our house bc he literally never got enough to eat as a kid #anyway #this is me saying that the Ballerina Farm family and their gobs of money playing at being farmers really creeps me out

Wait I have more silly thoughts about that dnpn au

Punz slowly start getting inhuman traits the longer that he is a devout of the Dteam ("Why are my eyes weird?! What did you do!?" "What? That happens naturally to every devout, their Gods' power leaks into them and they get changed" "..." "...Is this not a thing anymore" "NO!!") and he starts getting a lot of dragon like traits, which leaks into the petnames dnn call him

So they will call Punz their "golden guardian" and he will look up at them from where he's literally sitting on the palm of Dream's hand with the most lovesick autistic eyes

#the dog barks #dreamwastaken #Punz #sapnap #georgenotfound #dnn loves giving him petnames that imply he's their protector #not only for the irony of it but also for the way it makes Punz and his new instincts absolutely wild #sapnap and george love when they manage to trap him in bed for hours just scratching under his chin and on the base of his new tail #watching his blissed out expression while they call him their shining guard #the first time they refer to themselves as his “hoard” Punz starts purring immediately and almost face plants #George wakes up early so he can use his thousands of eyes to watch Punz sleep and categorize every single change happening to Punz #Sapnap always knows exactly what to do to send his new insticts into overdrive #he loves teasing Punz until he just needs to stay cuddled up with Sap all day #and Dream is always there to help with the transition to help him learn how to use his new tail and how to handle his new eyes and new urge #and the 3 are a pleasant weight in the back of mind as he goes thought his day watching thought his eyes and keeping the glamour steady #<3 #dnpn #dsmp au #dsmpshipping
