"lay all your love on me."
synopsis: general dating headcanons for our favorite water boy. pairing: percy jackson x gn!reader headcanons. word count: 1.2k
Tumblr media
• oh, the antics.
• he's constantly trying to impress you even if you claim it gives you secondhand embarrassment. he'll be practicing tricks on his skateboard and be like, "this one's for you, babe!" and goes to do a kickflip or something and COMPLETELY falls off. LMFAOO.
and he'll be all whiny when you patch up his hand because he wanted to make you proud!! but all is good after you reassure him and kiss his scratches better. (as per his request.)
• percy loves partaking in your hobbies, regardless of his skill level.
if your hobby is knitting, soon enough you’ll be gifted a sweater with a pink heart and your name stitched unevenly on the seams. yeah, it might be a little itchy and it's practically falling off your shoulders, but he tried his best!!
if you like reading, he'll snuggle up with you as you two share a book. (although he prefers if you read to him, dyslexia is a pain.)
you get the point. quality time is something he values greatly. as long as he gets to spend time with you, he doesn't mind what activities you choose to engage in, whether it's watching, listening, or doing something else altogether.
• you usually accompany percy on quests, but on the rare occasion when you don't, he's quite literally counting the days until he can see you like a child counting down until christmas.
before leaving, the hugs he gives you are so tight it's unreal. like, his friends have to intervene to separate him from you. as he gradually steps back, he tells you he loves you and misses you despite him not even leaving for the quest yet, LMFAO. he only releases his grip on you when your index fingers are the last thing touching.
but when he comes back, his affection for you is on full blast. like i'm talking shrieks of excitement when he finally sees you, which attracts the attention of some nearby campers but he couldn’t care less as he runs over, nearly colliding into you with his hug.
• percy has a unique way of hugging that leaves you feeling entirely enveloped in his warm embrace. when he hugs you, your entire torso is engulfed, and your face is pressed against his chest. his arm wraps around your waist, almost entirely covering it. his other hand, calloused yet gentle, cradles the base of your head, holding you close to his chest or neck, and the scent of seawater and his cologne fills your senses.
• matching bracelets type of love!! one day, you two were strolling around manhattan and came across one of those cheap, diy jewelry kits for 10% off. you know, the kind that's meant for little kids and not demigod teenagers? yeah, that kind.
but percy bought it for you anyway, and you guys spent the remainder of the day crafting matching jewelry for each other! yeah, it did get frustrating sometimes, (you always have to tie the end of percy's bracelet/necklace for him because for some reason he's completely incapable of doing it himself.) but you two laugh and tease each other the whole time and it's just really sweet.
percy made you a blue bracelet with a little trident charm in the middle, and you made him one with your signature color theme and your initials on the beads!! both of you wear them around camp proudly, and the beads make a jingling sound whenever you hold hands with him.
(+ he runs his fingers over the bracelet you made for him whenever he starts to miss you.)
• hands intertwined all the time!! he's developed such a habit for it that whenever you're together, he automatically reaches for your hand. whether you're walking around camp, sitting on the couch, or even sleeping, holding your hand is so ingrained in his mind that he doesn't even think about it.
percy loves feeling the difference between your palm and his, whether yours is softer, calloused, coarser, etc. he also loves playing with any rings you wear, twisting them around your finger or rearranging them.
• cabin sleepovers are an absolute must. you have them once every few weeks — and would have them more often if it weren't for the harpies.
not only does he love spending time with you in his cabin, but also he just sleeps more peacefully around you.
percy likes to rest with his chin nestled in the curve of your shoulder. you've grown accustomed to the feeling of his warm breath against your skin and the weight of his head against your collarbone — which he leaves lazy kisses on before he falls asleep. only when his eyelashes brush against your neck, fingers curled into the fabric of your sweater, can he relax and feel safe, warm, and loved enough to fall asleep.
• percy jackson is the type of boyfriend who leaves his clothes out on purpose for you to wear. he pretends not to notice that the hoodies he lends you never return to his closet. but he doesn't really mind because he loves seeing you in them.
• staring is a percy thing. even if he tries to hide his gaze every once in a while, you still manage to catch him sitting across from you with a lovesick smile, his eyes trailing over your face taking in every feature as if it was his first time seeing you.
when his eyes finally catch yours, he quickly looks away, but he can't resist glancing back at you a moment later because like, how could he not?? and with his confidence building up, soon enough he whispers, “c'mere and give me a kiss, yeah?”
• percy always tries to be creative when it comes to dates because they're kinda limited at camp. while you've experimented with various activities such as training, picnics, and swimming, your favorite pastime is strawberry picking. you two spend the day in the fields, picking the sweetest strawberries you ever had which later turned into refreshing strawberry smoothies.
but he's so particular about what strawberries he picks. you'll go to pick one with a little bruise and he'll whip his head around so fast like??? it's not that serious percy.
• percy does his best to learn everything about you, from the things you love to the things that you hate. if you hate bugs, he'll get rid of them all for you, (but he puts them somewhere safe because he's a sweetheart.) he'll speak for you in public if you're not comfortable in social situations, and he'll lead you through large crowds if you hate them. he's always learning and paying attention to the things you like, dislike, love, and hate so that he always brings a smile to your face.
he'll go out of his way to learn your favorite songs so he always knows which ones to play during long car rides, he knows how you like your coffee, and he has your entire takeout order memorized!!
• percy's love for you is so evident, there may as well be hearts in his eyes. he thinks you're the absolute prettiest, and nothing can change his mind. you two are perfect together, and the whole camp knows it.

Hii! How are you?
I was hoping you could do a one shot or hcs for a platonic/sibling PJO thing with Percy. I was thinking this kid shows up at camp-half-blood (their age being like 11-13) and being like a carbon copy of Percy and everyone notices except for him. They become pretty close and during a capture the flag game the Reader gets claimed by Poseidon, and Percy is just in shock like: 😲 holy moly
I think it would be really cute and I love big bro Percy
The reader is gender neutral
This is completely /nf and feel free to delete it if you don't want to! Thank you so much! Remember to drink water and take care of yourself!
-Axel <3
Ahhh this is actually such a cute IDEA-
Tumblr media
Percy With a Child Of Poseidon Reader...
Tumblr media
When you showed up to camp, no one really thought much of it.
The Titan war was over, demi-gods were showing up left and right, getting claimed along the way.
The thing that was weird was your lack of the latter.
Weeks after you arrived you were still unclaimed, with no change in sight.
It frustrated Percy because the gods had literally JUST promised not to leave any kids unclaimed.
As a result, he decided to spend time with you, just because he noticed you were feeling slightly put out at your lack of a godly parent.
Percy seemed to be the only one who hadn't noticed that the two of you next to each other was like looking back and forth between a mirror of features.
Everyone else did though.
Annabeth really did try to just- nudge him in the direction that MAYBE POSSIBLY-
But no, Percy was as oblivious as a blind cat after you moved the furniture.
Honestly he liked hanging out with you.
It made him feel good to know he was keeping you occupied instead of thinking about not being claimed.
He felt like an older brother ironically enough.
He had you sit with him during meals, and during activities he was with the Hermes cabin most of the time to help you.
Your very first capture the flag was exciting for him,
Him helping you put on your armor before plopping am oversized helmet on your head was like a mother watching their watching their child ride a bike for the first time.
He was so proud!
Sure you tripped over yourself and fell on your face, but that's okay! Everyone stumbles sometimes!
You're doing great!
Honestly, it was his fault for not helping you tie your shoes.
It was safe to say, the two of you had sufficiently bonded.
Which must have been the reason Poseidon decided to claim you now of all times.
He must really like capture the flag if that's how he claimed both his kids.
Percy was floored, and incredibly confused.
Everyone else was more or less like, "yeah saw that one coming." and you were trying to look up at the floating trident over your head through your helmet.
Percy feeling a whirlwind of emotions.
Confusion, excitment, slight frustration- but mostly excitement.
He was confused as to how as a child of Poseidon you'd managed to stay alive this long.
Unless your mortal parent had also kept a Gabe around to hide your demigod smell.
The thought made him wince.
He was practically vibrating when he showed you around Cabin 3.
You'd seen it before, sure, but now it was your cabin as much as his.
He wouldn't be sleeping alone anymore and he was exstatic about it.
And he can't wait to introduce you to Tyson too.
And his mom, oh she's gonna love you.
Especially if your mortal parent isn't in the picture either by choice or tradgedy.
Percy was gonna be the best big brother ever, it was his job to protect you now, so he would.
Tumblr media
Ta-da! This is legit, the first thing I have posted in FOREVER holy shit, it felt SO good to write this out, like-
Anyway, all done! Here you go, I wanted to keep going but I figured it was long enough lol

Hey! ^^
I was wondering if you could do Thor, Poseidon, Loki, Hades, and Adam as they react to their S/O weapon choice.
Please and thank you.
Warnings: Gn reader, brief talks of blood, wounds, death, loss of limbs, a whip for adams part (Requesters choice)
Rquest: Yes.
Words:
⭑*•̩̩͙⊱••••✩••••⊰•̩̩͙*⭑
Thor
He was interested immediately when you presented a hammer.
Of course, his hammer in question was much much much bigger than the one you had but it was still interesting to him to see the similar weapon choice.
Throughout the duration of the fight he admired the way you used this hammer against your opponents, though he was also prideful, in a way. After all, he knew as well as everyone else that hammers packed a very powerful punch when used against someone else.
He wasn’t surprised when you won the fight, though in the future he would give you some pointers. Maybe he could even teach you how to wield a larger hammer overtime.
Thor watched as your opponent died from injuries to the skull. A quick yet gruesome death all the same. Don’t let his poker face deceive you, he is very proud. You can feel it practically seeping into the room from his aura alone.
Poseidon
As always he seems unperturbed while you revealed your chosen weapon for the Ragnarok fight was a Trident. Of course, he knows he is still the best when wielding a trident. He’s the embodiment of perfection, after all.
Most if not all the fight he is expressionless. He knows you will win. As his s/o you have to win. There is no other choice, he's positive of it. He’s actually nervous don’t let him fool you.
Reminds himself to train you. You could definitely strike out faster with your trident. You can be better. He has high expectations for you.
Walks off when the fight ends with you spearing your opponent through the stomach.
You know to meet him at the beach anyways. Practice will be waiting for you. He’s not letting up until you can cut him or your legs give out. There’s no if and or buts. He’ll make up for it later.
Loki
Grins like an idiot when he sees your weapon is hook chains. This fight just got much more interesting. He even sits up a bit more.
His sadistic obsession comes to the surface when watching you fight. Of course, you and your opponent are leveled out in terms of strength and other things though he finds that all the more interesting.
This kinky ass bitch lowkey gets turned on seeing you use a weapon similar to his own.
Your opponent falls due to blood loss and the loss of limbs. Makes his way down to meet up with you in the infirmary after the fight is over. It was exciting to see you get cut up in the fight as well.
He wants to spar with you at some point. It’s only fair. You’ll keep him entertained, won’t you?
Hades
Feels a sense of respect and pride when you choose a Bident as your chosen weapon for the ragnarok match. Similar to Poseidon he also feels his weapon is the superior choice. He’s glad you chose a bident.
He watches you fight with a calm and serious exterior, no one can really tell what he was thinking.
The match was on its toes but he was more than prideful over his darling claiming the victory in the match. As you were hauled off to get your wounds tended to, he stood up to meet you there.
Praise, that's what he grants you with. He's prideful, but also loving towards you in a sweet admiration. Hades would have been heartbroken had you died in that fight.
He would like to spar with you to offer tips. After all, practice is perfection. And the both of you will strive for it together.
Adam
Is immediately interested the moment you picked a whip for your weapon in ragnarok. Though he cannot say much, after all he picked knuckle dusters as his against Zeus.
He cannot say he isn't a bit worried, because he totally is. He doesn't want to loose a loved one in this fight, though he also wouldn't mind giving up his life during this fight either. Now it was your turn.
During the match Adam was rather impressed at your display of strength and flexibility against your opponent. When you won a smile spread across his face, calm and soft. Brunhilde and Göll where cheering and hugging and he stood up to go find you.
Immediately hounds you in affection when he sees you. Soft words of praise, soft kisses and gentle hugs. Adam vows to get everything you need the next few days as you recover from your injuries.
He asks you to teach him how to use a whip too. After all, you looked excellent during it.

Meet the Master Strategist ~ Wire
Tumblr media
Wire invented the word aloof. This is a fact. He also invented the word slay. Besides being a silent giant, Wire also has the second biggest brain in the Kid Pirate crew, right behind Killer. Wire handles strategizing full stop. Schemes, plots, developments, trysts, pranks, rehabilitation, etc. Knows the ins and outs of everything somehow but won't spill on how he knows. Wire tells Killer what to do and Killer tells Kid what to do when it comes to pulling off anything, be it dinner bill dashing or infiltrating highly guarded castles. Don't let his unenthusiastic face fool you - if you're in the crew, you're his nakama, you can trust him with your life.
Meet your Vice-Captain 🡢  ☠️ Meet your Captain -> ☠️
Tumblr media
Wire may have also coined the phrase 'ride or die' but that's still unverified. Anyways, he's loyal as they come. Most of the crew came from the same island so it may seem intimidating to join the fray, and they all do have high walls, once they get over themselves, you'll find crew more like family.
Does he know sign language? He'll shrug and then give you a vague answer with an even vaguer gesture. You'll see him make signing motions from time to time, clearly holding conversation, communicating from a distance, or maybe giving direction during tougher than normal settings. It's not until one day Heat pulls you aside and let's you in on the secret. Yes Wire can sign, and he did it purely so he didn't have to expend his energy talking to people he didn't find interesting. Not a lot of people know how to sign back so they leave him alone, just the way he wants it to be.
If he finds time to relax, Wire enjoys simple pastimes to get through the days. He plays guitar and has been known to sing sometimes, he loves board and card games, is a vicious dart shark, and he loves napping. He's one of very few Kid Pirates that takes naps but he makes the absolute most of them. He wears a sleep mask too. It reads: Fuck Off (in really nice handsewn embroidery.)
Wire is the chillest between Kid (the unbridled anger), Killer (the stoic well of anxiety), and Heat (much nicer than he should reasonably be). If crew concerns don't meet a certain threshold criteria, most internal problems get handed to himself and Heat. The thresholds being: big bastard Kid needs to kill, and any situation not cited in Killer's emergency management guidebook.
Circling back to slay - it's a double entendre. Wire has the third highest body count on the crew (for murders), he's also a fashion icon. Have you seen his fit? Mesh netting on those tits and legs, WITH whore shorts? He knows what he's fucking doing. He helps all his little queer pirate kids pick out their outfit aesthetics, he's a proud gay dad.
Wire is only possessive of two things. One of them is his beloved trident. Kid made it for him years ago and it's still his weapon of choice. He cleans and oils it daily, sharpens the points and keeps on top of maintenance for it. Kid made him other weapons over the years: spiked brass knuckles (hurts Wire's back to bend down and utilize them properly); spiked boots (better application but Kid is not a cobbler and those promptly fell apart mid-fight leaving Wire barefoot in battle); a spiked flail (hit Kid's head by accident one time and Wire never saw the flail again). No weapon is more suited for his height and style of fighting than his trident. Wire suspects Kid made it to match his favorite pointed headdress.
If you try to get in the way of his Captain's dreams OR you try to sling pot on the deck, you're dead meat. There's only one weed dealer on the Victoria Punk and that's Wire.
Welcome to the crew and stay in your lane.

I love the warlord!Sanji acesan shovel talk sm <3 also this is really sad but what would have happnd if sanji's execution had succeeded and he really did die? i nkow the warlords prbly wouldve still declared war on the wg and the straw hats would wreak havoc as wle, but do you have any thoughts? how does each parent grieve, how do the crew react upon finding sanji's secret only after his death? can sanji ever be brought back- maybe reiju pulls through again somehow with germa tech that somehow revives sanji- or is he gone forever? these thoughts are haunting me
JESUS OW! THAT HURTS I LOVE IT!
First, his execution if succeeded, would have been taped and possibly broadcasted after the fact, ensuring the fact his death is in fact truthful. The only person up on the platform who looks pleased is Akainu the fucker. Kizaru, usually so unbothered, and Sengoku watched this kid grow up in Warlord meetings but justice comes first and Sanji is a pirate. When Sanji is asked if his parents would be proud Sanji just smiles and in a way similar to Ace and says his parents would be proud, but not the ones the Government wants. After all, he was raised by five Warlords. He's smiling at Akainu, smiling in the face of death and stabbed by the spear/trident things they use in the executions.
The next the newscoo brings reports of Doflamingo and Boa Hancock declaring war on the World Government, the day after Mihawk, a few days later Crocodile and those he rounded up from Baroque Works. Jinbei doesn't but the crew sees how stricken he is. It is immensely heartbreaking to hear Jinbei cry about Sanji, his son, which rocks the crew. They plan a funeral and send out the calls to inform everyone when and where.
Everyone turns up, Law and his crew, Vivi and Karoo, Ace and the White Beard fleet, Perona, and the four warlords who declared war against the government. Law and Vivi are immediately ready for a fight but Jinbei stops them, reminding them they're all here for the same reason. They don't entirely let their guard down and when Zoro asks Perona how she knew Sanji she looks at him like he's dumb.
"We grew up in the warlord meetings together, dummy. He was my baby brother basically." Perona huffs and Mihawk sends a glare at them both.
"Does Moria know you're here?" Crocodile asks her.
"He let me go to Mihawk's for weeks on end to see Sanji, I don't see how his funeral would be different." Perona says solemnly and Crocodile nods. After the "service" if you could call it that everyone parts ways. The crew deals with the fact Sanji was raised differently. Zoro and Nami are angry at the secret, Franky and Robin understand the necessity of such a secret. Brook tries to comfort Jinbei but no parent should have to bury their child. Luffy is angry that Sanji is dead, furious, he doesn't care who Sanji's parents are, doesn't matter. Usopp and Chopper are crying, they've always been pretty free with their emotions so more secrets are just more tears for them.
As for the warlords grieving? Crocodile has always been a workaholic so he's definitely rebuilding his empire while waging war. Boa retakes Amazon Lily and builds a shrine to Sanji that's private, for her and Sanji's fathers. She sits by it every time she gets home and just sobs and lets her anger fester until she goes out again. Doflamingo lets his fury guide him, he's never really had to mourn before. He doesn't understand it and so he just kills whoever is in his way to get to whoever sanctioned the killing of his child. Similarly Mihawk has never really had to mourn before, but he understands the process in theory. He probably calls Shanks up at one point to ask when he stopped crying about Roger and Shanks admits he still cries about it, not as often, maybe a couple of times a year but in the beginning it was a lot and often.
Below is if Sanji is saved, miraculously.
IF SANJI is brought back by Reiju, or in my beautiful world of all the siblings defying Judge because the brothers are learning emotions, 0124 bring Sanji back I can't imagine them bringing Sanji to the Sunny is a safe option. Nor is Amazon Lily or Kuriagana and Doffy doesn't even have a ship which leads to four genetically modified siblings dropping off the least modified sibling in front of Daz, Croc, and a few others as they rush to explain they saved Sanji and revived him and they can't see their brother's crew because of the pact Judge has with Luffy. Sanji is also probably a mess because he died and now he's not dead and is having several issues with that and being away from crew.
Croc's first thought is to get his dumbass kid re-acclimated to being alive first and reuniting him with his crew second. The first does involve some of the best doctors Croc knows running tests on his kid to make sure he's alright because he knows Sanji has been revived before when he was a kid in Germa, also they used Germa tech to do it which makes it worse. But once Sanji is relatively calmed down and used to being alive again Crocodile calls the parents and lets them know A. Sanji is alive thanks to Germa tech and his siblings and B. Is taking him to his crew.
His crew is ecstatic to see him and there's happy tears all over but also he's alive. Reiju explains everything and Sanji is tucked away in a pile of Strawhat Pirates.

About The Little Mermaid...
I hate how Hollywood thinks that a strong female character has to kick ass and not let a man save them, she just needs to be relatable.
Growing up with the little mermaid made me realized how well written the movie was, Ariel was not a weak female protagonist that needs a man to save her from the villain. Actually, one of my favorite parts of the movie is when Ariel attacks Ursula out of rage after she turned her father into... whatever that thing was.
Tumblr media
As a woman, how many times have you gotten angry at someone and wanted to harm them, only to be stopped abruptly by something or someone else? It doesn’t mean that you are weak, it just means you were caught in the moment and forgot that other people are bigger or physically stronger than you are. It also means that you are not use to fighting but you try to anyway because you are angry. That is what happened to Ariel, Ursula was stronger than her so she barely did anything, but at least she tried.
Shortly after this, Eric appears to save Ariel, even though he had no idea what was really going on, all he knew was that the girl he fell in love with was in trouble and he went to help. He was caught by Ursula’s eels but Sebastian and Flounder helped him escape, when Ursula was about to kill him with the trident, Ariel pulled her hair making her accidentally zap her precious eels.
Tumblr media
This made Ursula focus her rage on Ariel and that gave Eric the chance to stab her with the ship. Because Eric decided to stay even after Ariel told him to leave, in the end, it was their love for each other that helped them defeat Ursula.
That is why I loved this movie so much, it was the first time I ever saw a Disney princess get enraged like that and actually tried to attack their villain. As a woman, I know I don’t need a man to be happy, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to meet one! I am proud of being a girl, I like to look my best and am capable of defending myself when I need to, I can be strong and do things by myself, but I know when I need help and I value when others offer to give me a hand. 
Men or women, it doesn’t matter, we are all human, we make mistakes and we learn from them, and each individual have their own strengths and weaknesses. I know parents are afraid to have their daughters learn the wrong messages, but at least trust that they are smart enough to understand the good aspects of a well written story.

Happy 50th Anniversary to Queen ll !!
This fabulous album was released in the UK by EMI on the 8th of March 1974 and was tentatively titled “Over The Top’. This didn’t appease their label so Queen ll would be the perfect title. This album would be described as “Queens heaviest.”
The album combines a heavy rock sound with art rock and progressive rock elements,and has been called "a pillar of grandiose, assaultive hard rock" by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
This is certainly the first time one hears their trademark multi-layered overdubs, those rich harmonies and the sheer joie de vivre of a group of young men refusing to be hindered by boundaries and conformity. So while other rock stars went on their holidays Queen worked like Trojan to complete in a month.
Both Brian May and Freddie Mercury had radically different lyrical agendas as far as songwriting content. While Brian preferred a personal or emotional slant, Freddie liked to operate in realms of the phantasmagorical – it was decided to give the record a loose concept, splitting the material into ‘White’ and ‘Black’ sides to match the light and shade of the songs. The White side has songs with a more emotional theme and written mostly by Brian and the black side is almost entirely about fantasy, often with quite dark themes and the songs were completely composed by Freddie himself.
Famed photographer Mick Rock was hired to shoot the album cover. He had the band posed to look suitably moody and vampish a la Marlene Dietrich in Shanghai Express. Freddie, of course, couldn’t resist the faintest of smirks as he looked up at Rock with arms crossed.
Mick said the band wanted to "graft some of [the trademark] decadent 'glam' sensibility" of his previous work with other artists. He also said, “Queen were looking to grab people's attention with the cover, especially since their first album had failed to do so. They realised that if you could catch people's eyes you could get them interested in the music."
Queen’s groundbreaking single released in advance was Freddie Mercury’s penned, “Seven Seas of Rhye,” based on a fantasy world called Rhye that he had created with his sister, Kashmira.
This song was their first entry into the UK singles chart thanks to Queen’s television debut on Britain’s popular show, “Top of The Pops.” The band was a last minute replacement for David Bowie and their performance was impressive enough to rush this fantasy single to an early release.
Brian May told Q magazine, March 2008, “Our first breakthrough, made with the idea that if radio was going to play it, everything had to explode. And it did work."
Brian also said, “To me, Queen II was the sort of emotional music we’d always wanted to be able to play, although we couldn’t play most of it onstage because it was too complicated. We were trying to push studio techniques to a new limit for rock groups — it was fulfilling all our dreams because we didn’t have much opportunity for that on the first album. It went through our minds to call the album Over The Top. Our record label frowned with that title.”
“We took so much trouble over that album, possibly too much, but when we finished we felt really proud, Immediately, it got really bad reviews so I took it home to listen to again and thought 'Christ, are they right?' But after hearing it a few weeks later, I still like it. I think it's great. We'll stick by it."
(Roger Taylor)
“Our latest album ‘Queen ll’ like the other album, is good because of the time we spent on the production. We did all the guitar overdubs, the acoustics, bells, lots of piano; in other words, everything! We go to all the mixes, we don’t just leave it to the producer. Even after the mixing we spent two weeks at Trident whilst the album was being cut.’ ~ John Deacon
“There was no deep meaning or concept in the album. At the time of recording we conceived it impulsively. I wrote a song, ‘The March Of The Black Queen’, for the album and that’s when we got the idea of having white and black sides - reflecting white and black moods. It became a good contrast. The Non Synths’ thing; we put that on as a joke at first because we were frustrated, but it turned out to be quite a good idea because we even managed to fool John Peel at the time. He said something in a review once about there being good use of Moog synthesizer, and actually it was just multi-tracked guitar. People actually thought that we hated synthesizers. Brian was recreating some amazing sounds through his guitar, but people thought ‘My God, guitars don’t sound like that; it’s got to be a synthesizer.’” ~ Freddie Mercury
The album enjoyed chart success in the UK, peaking at #5. In interviews the group promoted the album with a theme of "good versus evil," and made numerous public appearances to gain exposure. It remains a fan favourite to date and shows Queen at their finest, producing music that was deliberately not tailored for the hit parade!
Queen had finally arrived in style and Freddie could give up his weekend job at his clothing stall and concentrate upon the great times that lay ahead. Goodbye Kensington Market, hello world!

What if yona was the champion instead of Sidon?
Hi anon how does it feel to have the biggest brain!
In all seriousness I actually think this is a really neat concept! Could have it be a bit of a psych out. Everyone thinks it’s Sidon. Link even thinks it’s Sidon. They all just think Yona’s got some weird intuition about where to go, and she volunteered to tag along so why not. Then all of a sudden they reach the stone and boom! It’s Yona’s. Sidon’s not complaining of course he is so proud and excited for his fiancé :)
I also think her ability would be different than Sidon’s. I think she’d take on more of a healing role, perhaps giving Link bonus hearts or acting similarly to Mipha’s Grace? I don’t know why TOTK decided to just get rid of any healing support but I digress.
As for what her weapon would be…I know that she never would, but I think her having that giant ass Zora long sword would be hilarious. Ganon turns around and just see’s this sweet looking Zora lady charging at him with a sword that’s gotta be twice her weight. I would be shitting bricks if I were him! (I think in actuality she’d probably just use a trident or spear like Sidon for balance)
You’ve now cursed me with so many role swap ideas now and I am throwing rocks at you in retaliation (with love)!

Hello! can we have merman Brothers Yanderes with a royalty GN reader ? (Poly) also SFW or NSFW please~!
Poly Mer Brothers with a Royal GN-Reader SFW and NSFW
Early relationship
When you first came down to the depths of Diavolo’s kingdom, it was a hard change. Even the brothers knew how rough it must be. Lucifer kept a distance but watched over you. Mammon was the one to help you swim. He always complained about it, barking at it like one of your old instructors. 
They didn’t think much of you. Mammon just saw his instructions as a waste of time. But you proved yourself to be a fast learner. You had to be in your lifestyle. It impressed a good number of them. Even Diavolo was pleased by how quickly you adapted to life underwater. “Like a fish to water!”
Satan was the first to approach you, interested in your human world knowledge. He was amazed by your vast knowledge of literature and writing. He’d seek you out often to have you recount popular stories and even ones from your childhood. He sees a bit of illusions to the little mermaid. 
You have gotten yourself into trouble with some of the more monstrous aquatic animals after Mammon did not look after you when he was supposed to. But as they swarmed to come help you, you had managed to defend yourself pretty well with a broken shell before Lucifer was there to deal with it. Mammon was not only impressed but felt guilty looking at your stuffed up hand hurt from holding the sharp shell. He grew massively protective over you and helped nurse your hand back. 
Leviathan saw you as a true Henry. A heroic human. A royal who faced the most hopeless of situations with a brave face. He admired you from afar, wanting to get closer but didn’t have the guts. He struggles to find an excuse to get closer and he acts like a pining suiter.
Asmodeus is infatuated with the idea of you being a royal charmer. He had heard stories from Satan and those fairytales were always so enchanting. Perhaps Satan was rubbing off on him a bit too much. He wasn’t the biggest fan of humans, but something about you was just so enchanting. Was it that noble blood of yours? Well, now he’s swimming around you wanting to see you demonstrate your skills from growing up. Maybe you could try sewing him something? He’s always wanted to try some of the fancy clothes he’s seen some of them wear. 
Beelzebub simply came up after the monstrous incident. You are not sure if he was instructed to teach you to fight under the orders of Diavolo or Lucifer, or if he decided to do it himself, but he hands you a spear and trains you not only in that but lances, polearms, tridents, even nets. Grappling is important in the deep since enemies can attack you from every angle conceivable. 
Belphegor never really bothered until he saw Beelzebub’s interest in you. He started watching your training sessions and would often heckle you. Only when you start getting along with Beelzebub does he start to ask why you even bother. You're only there for a year. Why not make it easy and live quietly and get through as quickly as possible? Perhaps you are the heir to the throne? Why not just live out your life quietly? But when you tell him it’s not for you, but for your people he calls you strange but seems to accept the answer. 
Lucifer grows proud of your progress and enjoys having those calm moments with you, even bringing you to see how well you’ve adjusted to sparing. He’s damn good and often gets you pinned. But the day you get the upper hand and manage to pin him. He confesses. And not long after establishing your relationship, the others flock pissed that they weren’t the first.                      
Current relationship
You don’t get very far without having a tail wrapped around you. Mers seem to do it as a sign of affection. Flirting in a sense. 
Beelzebub brings you to help teach the other Mers. He sees you as a great instructor, and with that powerful, capable, and ruling aura you have, it helps a lot. Not only that, but he enjoys going on hunts with you. And when you come home, Belphegor is there waiting for you both to help prepare the food. You don’t spend too much time without the other being there. Belphegor then pulls you into their nest to sleep and relax. 
Mammon would often drag you around to see the sights and sounds, seeing you as a lucky charm and wanting to impress you. He tries to win big with you. He knows that luxury up there and down here is much different. Maybe even shabby. So he’ll pull off his own scales sometimes to give you jewelry. His heart squeezes if you scold him, telling him that it’s okay to not pluck his scales and hurt himself. Just let him hold you then. Spend time with him. Have fun. 
Asmodeus carts you around to parties and festivals so you can watch him in action. His fins twirl like silk as he’s focused right on you. Even with all those eyes on him, his gaze is transfixed right on you. His charming human. Would you like to hear his song? He’ll sing one just for you. Perhaps one day you can take him to the surface and show him the world, but if not, it’s okay. He has the world right there in front of him. 
Same with Asmodeus, Satan would love to go to the world you came from and experience it for himself. He wants to learn the history of it all. To be able to see the plays by the masters, to look at the sites described in books, and read as many books as he could, books that aren’t waterlogged or ruined. The first time he gets to smell that old book smell his smile has never been so bright.  
Leviathan adds every gift you give him to his collection, making it a centerpiece. He’s inquisitive about everything and even lets you use them when he was once so selective about it. You can handle anything now without him freaking out over it. He trusts you. Not only that, but some of the old clothes he’s found. Would you be able to help him restore them to their former glory? Maybe even model them?  
Lucifer wants to keep you safe. He’ll let you join the patrol. He sees you enough as an equal to let you help him cut his work in half. Something no one ever thought was possible. Not only that, but he likes having you keep him on his toes. He’ll spar with you and then you'll help him relax, unlike anything else. Being with you when you gaze over sunken cities, coral reefs, or even migrating animals. He even wraps his tail around you subconsciously. You’re such a wonderful person and you make him the happiest he’s ever been.  
Taking turns
They can smell the pheromones in the water and have keyed into your scent specifically. That’s the reason they scent you so much; it helps them pick you up. They can smell the arousal through the water. 
He’s cursed with being interrupted when with you. No matter how far he swims, the others will always find you. Sometimes he’d like some private intimacy with you, but as the oldest, he lets it slide for the peace of things. Lucifer cannot believe he has to stop fights while he’s fingering you. Unbelievable. Sometimes, when it gets out of hand, he makes them wait while he takes his time with you. His tail squeezes your leg while the other one is held up by his other hand, so the other gets a good look of what they're missing from their infighting. Even his fins try to hold you in place by wrapping around your waist. 
Leviathan hates being put on the spot, so he’s another that tries to hide away to have one on one time, but he refuses to be left out. Not when Henry is on the line! If you want you can tell him how to make you feel better. Whatever you’d like, he'll do it for you. He wants you to feel just as good as he does when he’s inside you. You can take charge as well, if that makes you feel better. 
Satan doesn’t mind fucking you wherever you go, as long as you're not showing that cute face of yours to anyone else besides him and his brothers. He loves unraveling such an important figure. What would your subjects say if they saw just how easy it is to get you shaking from dick? Let alone having multiple partners? Just how much do you need to satisfy you? Don’t worry, he’ll make sure to get you as much as you need, your majesty. You're lucky that you are so irresistible.
He knows that the others can smell when your sparring sessions get a little heated. When he’s groping you, he’ll fan his tail to make it waft faster before bending you in half. His tail will keep you steady as you drive over the edge again and again. He’s always quick to clean you up and make sure you're okay after that though. He might be rough with training but he’s gentle at home and during intimate moments.
As much as he hates sharing, at least he still has you. He’ll bite at his brothers while they all stuff you with their cocks, and even worse, he doesn’t mind the sight of it. You look magnificent. It gives him a chill of having power over you. Someone so gentle, kind, and important clenches down on him and whines when he pulls out or teases you. Just how bewitching can you be? Are you sure you are not a witch of some sort and put a spell on him? It doesn’t matter because after he’s done filling you up with cum you won’t think of anything else it’s just you and his family now. 
This agreement was the best thing that’s ever happened to him, besides being so beautiful. Getting a claim to a royal that stole his heart. He’ll be nice and share. He knows Mammon secretly enjoys seeing you stuffed full, and some of the others do as well. He’s also guilty of that, so he’ll ask if you want to play with the others as he moans out to them as he licks your hole open so they know just what is going on. He fucks your face with a flick of his tail, shoving himself inside you deeper and keeping his fins clasped around your head to keep you steady. Tap him if you want a breath.
You don’t mind if he has a piece of you right? Nest with him and cuddle while his cock stays nice and warm inside you. You don’t mind doing it at dinner, right? He loves having you casually on his lap, trying not to bounce your hips. He’ll slap your ass with his tail if you try. Aren’t you a leader? Have some more self control. But he always follows up those mean comments with a kiss and a compliment, just a bit more. If someone else wants to push in while he holds you, he’ll hold you wide for them. Just don’t bother him. He says this but he grins when you huff and whine.

"A letter John wrote to my wife (his sister, Julie)"
"John wrote it in 1971, when Queen were testing out Trident studios. A nice piece of history that I wanted to share."
John's brother-in-law, Richard, recently has started very kindly sharing some photos, memorabilias and memories with John on the Queen reddit. Given another comment of his it seems Julie passed away a few years ago 😔 I also remember reading a comment of his a couple of years ago on YouTube where he said to be John's brother-in-law and to have seen lots of Queen concerts.
Some other notable comments:
Queen fans are such a wonderful crowd. The band always impressed me with the genuine love and respect they felt for their fans- it was always about them. We had a letter from John to Julie a bit earlier than the one I posted where he said he’d just ’joined a group called Queen’. It seems to have gone missing along the way…
(When asked if he met John back in the days or nowadays) Yes, we had quite a few family days (we both had young children), but as I was in the military, we saw him much less when I started overseas postings. He was best man at our wedding and also ‘gave away’ Julie because their Dad had died when they were both young. We met the group as a whole a few times - a highlight was going to the studio to watch them recording. Unbelievable attention to detail! And we went to a lot of concerts as VIPs, which was always exciting.
(About John's current life) "Really, what you read in the press is accurate - living a quiet life with his family"
Tumblr media
John Deacon gave us this after Queen’s 1975 Japanese tour
It's not the same kimono he wore in the famous photoshoot but it's very similar, so it's possible he bought this as a gift to his sister. Richard apologies because it's a bit deteriorated.
"We had a ton of Queen memorabilia over the years and most of it has gone to family and friends! I realised a couple of years ago that I needed to keep things for my family to have. Looking back, I wish I’d got autographs etc when we met the band and went to parties etc…"
Also he's lately sharing a couple of Queen cuttings from newspapers, which aren't really new content but come from a very sweet collection: "After John’s Mum (Mollie) died, we offered to sort out her house - John was finding her death very emotional. We found a collection of these cuttings stashed away. Although she didn’t talk much about Queen, we knew she was very proud of John…"
This is truly melting my heart and I'll add notable things to this post if he's willing to share any more on Reddit.
Special thanks to @meanwhileinthe-70s who posted the letter on Instagram (check out her acc _letusclingtogether_!) and prompted me to check out reddit hahah

Do you have any snippets to share from any of your AUs?
I really love superhero au Lizzie and I really don't talk about her enough.
I mean, she singlehandedly raised her little brother from infancy after watching her mother die on live television and later finding out that her father died in that same fight, while also carrying her mother's legacy.
See, the thing is: Lizzie was not the first Empress. That honor belonged to her mother, who wielded the iconic trident that Lizzie's Empress is known for. After the original Empress died, the trident was stored in a museum. It was supposed to go to Lizzie, but her mom couldn't exactly write that in the will without compromising their identities.
When she was little, her mother gave her a box and instructed her that in the case she should ever disappear or die on duty, Lizzie should wait until her eighteenth birthday to open it.
Inside of it was her a mask, one of the ones her mother used, a jeweled pin with the crest of the Empress, and a note basically saying that she was so proud of Lizzie, and that whether or not she decided to continue on with the family business of being a hero, she wanted her to have these.
Lizzie decided that she wanted to do her mom proud, and broke into the museum where the trident was being stored. She took up the mantle and made her debut as a hero, followed a few years later by Jimmy.
Jimmy really wanted to be a hero like his sister, but she hated the idea of putting him in danger. So she told him that if he still wanted it by the time he was eighteen, then she would let her join him. And sure enough, he turned eighteen, and he was still as gung-ho as ever about it.

I’ve been seeing ppl when making their HMS designs usually point out design details and I didn’t initially do that w mine when I posted them so uh better late than never ig!
Gonna repost the designs here just for reference: 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok on to the notes!:
Heart: 
-circles/round shapes 
-fluffy/poofy hair 
-more casual/comfy clothes (almost like a pajama look?) 
-black as a accent color to act as a call back to that originally being his color 
-lots of heart shapes (the sides of his shoes, shoe laces being loopy rather than the X shape I usually do to make a heart style shape, the tie on his sweatpants etc etc)
-stitches/rag doll aesthetic (nod to the “tore me at the seams” line, also just because I personally associate stitches with hearts?? No reason idk just an unconscious thing ? Maybe it can be seen as a foil to mind being robotic and heart being “soft”? Idk there’s definitely symbolism to it I’m just too stupid to articulate it sorry lol 
-blindfold is expressive/works as an emoter/has sonic eyes logic, just bc I think it’s really fun to draw, he can be cartoony, as a treat.
-eyes start like the others (white w black/dark iris) but after going blind the colors inverse (black with white iris) (OMG LIKE IN FNAF!???!?🤯)
-purple heart shaped pupils 
-wings optional I’m still debating on them BUT I’m definitely making it be so him and mind get a angel and devil on the shoulder theme (plus the added thing about heart playing the victim “perfect little angel who can do no wrong” and how he vilifies and (quite literally in this case) demonizes Mind) 
-bleed from chest
Mind:
-square shapes
-hair slicked back rather than in his face like the others
-collared shirt under sweater to give a more presentable vibe
-platform boots to make him taller/give him the superiority complex (plus they look cool that too lol) 
-necklace is a brain because …you know…. mind (made my designs before the Q&A revealed what the necklace actually was, so jus’ took creative liberty, plus so him being the representation of the mind was more visually shown considering how heavily I plastered hearts and eyes on Heart and Soul lol (I’m just gonna say the irl/drum stick necklace can be part of my CJ/Whole design instead)) 
-YOU UNDERSTAND MECHANICAL HANDS ARE THE RULER OF EVERYTHING ok but seriously: robotic design just in general, I really like his split on the top head I’m proud of that idea lol (actually if it’s not obvious but I tried to give all of them some form of… something going on with their faces!! So hearts stitches minds bolts and souls half and half you get it) 
-blue square pupils, it’s hard to make out unless you zoom in but I give him android style eyes (those lines going from the corners of his pupil to his iris, kinda like how portal does it?? I don’t remember oof but that almost like— camera zooming in kind of look? That, I was going for that)) 
-like heart, his old color (white) acts as an accent color 
-would have bat wings as previously mentioned to insinuate demon motif 
-bleed from head
Soul:
-triangles/sharp/pointed shapes 
-combo of both half and half and gray colors 
-almost like?? Punk style clothing? 
-patches on jacket (a crown, upside down cross, eye, eclipse, trident, and heart respectively) (the cross was semi a nod to hokum all ye faithful just bc I like that cover a lot personally lol) 
-messier hair
-halo intended to resemble rope/noose but idk how obvious I made it idk ??
-shadow half of face to reference the CCCC cover art and their appearance in light/night 
-the extra eyes are optional/at will 
-more a lore thing but I HC the “shadowy form” was originally an at will thing when he became mad, but after some particularly bad day it ends up getting stuck like that
-gets a more biblically accurate angle style appearance (eye motif/body horror/halo etc) Soul is the god to Heart and Minds shoulder angel and devil if you get what I mean (both to nod to the general concept of the soul being rooted heavily in religion as well as two wuv and the soul electric) 
-red ring shaped pupil to insinuate a halo shape
-half and half wings 
-bleed from eye (eyes are the windows to the soul/angle motif/soul always watching and having to keep an eye on H&M) 
Whole: 
Wasn’t going to mention him considering I literally just… drew Chonny from TMR and that’s it lmao?? But eh might as well mention him while I’m here
-regular shaped pupils (static colored)
-tally hall color nail polish (nod to the CCCC cover art)
-hair is more naturally drawn rather than stylized/shaped 
-white sweater to act as an inverse to HMS all having black/dark colored sweaters
-similar shoes to Heart, half and half jacket to match Soul, necklace to match Mind (not in ref but will be added later probably)
Extra/general stuff/small details:
-Their hair frizz bits are all matching their previously mentioned shape language (and lack there of in Whole’s case)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
-eyes:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
-the before (haha get it) they fully formed/gained consciousness designs keep to same general shape language idea, and gray specifically has a mouth as a nod to how Soul was the first one properly shown/we were shown their lips while the other two still were kept as the white and black heads for a bit before they inevitably got shown properly in TME
-the pre night/light designs I also don’t really feel the need to mention just bc they are pretty straight forward n snagged from TME/just their regular designs but missing the added layers n jackets n stuff ? Plus ig the added detail they are much more humanoid at the start I think is neat :3
uhhhh ig that’s it ?? Yeah sorry idk how to end this post just wanted an excuse to talk about my designs lol

could you explain (as briefly or detailedly as you feel like, i'm just curious) what makes a flag better than another flag other than just a general like or dislike for the design? like how does one design an effective and "correct" flag? what makes some flags bad? i've been in so many different art and design classes and whatnot and have never learned about this but it interests me!!
oh my god absolutely. buckle up lol
so the main purpose of a flag in general is to symbolise something, in this case a country. a good flag should be something people can rally around. the most important factor there is if people actually like the flag (its not a hideous eyesore). but beyond that, there are a couple general rules that help flags stay unique and accessible so everyone in that country/state/organization/etc. that it represents will be happy with it.
First you have to think about where flags most commonly are: on flagpoles. a flag should not be designed to be seen from five feet away, it should be designed to be seen from hundreds of feet away. in that vein, it has to be simple.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
heres the flag of panama and kentucky for comparison. panama’s flag is simple and neat, while kentucky’s flag has lots of little details that are hard to make out even on a phone screen
Secondly, you are not going to be seeing a flag on a flagpole straight on like these images. they will be fluttering in the breeze (AT BEST) and a portion of the flag will be obscured. you know what that means? NO TEXT. you cannot read shit if that flag is flying in the wind, even if you’re on the right side of it so the text isnt backwards. if the wind isnt blowing then youre out of luck
Tumblr media
on the left is the german flag, which even if you didnt know was the german flag, you can still tell what it looks like. three stripes, black red yellow. on the right is the flag of illinois, which is trying to tell you its the flag of illinois but you cant tell because that text on the bottom is unreadable.
thirdly, for the purposes of being a good rallying icon, its good to use symbolism representative of what the flag is for
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i dont really have a bad example here because this is subjective but on the left is the flag of new mexico. the red sun symbol is a puebloan symbol representing the native peoples who lived in whats now new mexico for thousands of years and the yellow background is for spain, who owned the land before the us took it. on the right is the flag of chicago, with two blue stripes represent lake michigan and the chicago river, and the red stars represent four major historical events
a lot of people will also say that you should only use two or three colors in a good flag but i think you can make more work, even though it might be harder
Tumblr media Tumblr media
indonesia’s flag, on the left, is a flag with two colors that i would say isnt great (its almost identical to the flag of monaco, which existed already at the time indonesia chose theirs) and on the right is the flag of south africa, which is a flag with lots of colors that i would consider to be a good flag
all of that is to say, if you want to make a good flag, model it off an existing country flag. those are generally the best flags out there because they have the most pressure to be a good flag. most people who live in a country they’re proud to live in love their flags (theres a reason the us flag is so strongly associated with extreme patriotism!). The same cant be said of most states, as a lot of state flags have detailed designs and text, and especially cant be said of cities. i showed the chicago flag earlier because its one of the few city flags in the us that gets actual usage outside the government. chicagoans are proud of their flag as they should be and if youve been to chicago, youve seen the flag. they put that thing everywhere, from backpacks to water bottles. now to top it all off here are some of my personal favorite flags from around the world
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
left: the flag of barbados (i love the color scheme and the trident is a perfect stylized symbol) middle: the flag of yabucoa, puerto rico (a rare flag that uses purple, as well as having a pretty unique design) right: the flag of maryland, usa (a controversial pick, but its distinctive and marylanders wear it with pride (often literally))

Empires Thoughts Dump!
Lizzie
Yall, her village is genuinely so cute
Reminds me of those village sandbox games that I loved to play as a child
Really appreciate the work she's putting into her builds recently.
Please don't rush CCs yall, it's obvious that they're working hard, saying this because I've seen people incessantly asking about Lizzie with other CCs in their streams, namely Joel and fWhip, and I think Pix one time and I'm betting Jimmy also encounters that as well.
Not only is it rude to CCs and even Lizzie, it's sometimes even discouraging.
Please stop.
Shelby
Something Wicked this witch way comes (Pearl voice)
Love the banner
You know, if I had a nickel... Yeah yeah you get the joke. But it's still funny it's happening again.
Hooray for Loyalty on a trident.
Katherine
Mentioned this already, but really appreciate Katherine's storytelling
That transition from white block to black block? Ingenious
Can't wait for the curse to spread /pos
Love her being hysterical in the comments when she found out the gold is from the Stratos Sphere
Joey
Hooray for heterosexual attraction I suppose
I'm saying it's heterosexual attraction (which is what's happening btw), BUT Joey has confirmed Pirate Joe is bi.
I wonder what brought that on
My guy finally got a creeper head.
Woo!
Get ready for your boat to burn cause an angry, 11ft sky god is about to lose it.
Jimmy
I ascribe to the headcanon that Jimmy did get cursed with the fossil thing and that curse is turning him into a toy
Amen to that
On a more serious note, I am genuinely proud of Jimmy as a viewer. His building skills are getting better, his builder's eye is getting better, his block palette is getting better, his time lapses are more dynamic. Jimmy has genuinely improved and I'm all up for it.
The others
Not much happened that isn't unusual
Just your average Empires episodes. Chaos, awestriking aesthetic builds, a bit of imagination.
I love Pix's catacombs, I love Joel's arena, I love Scott's roads, Sausage's windmill, fWhip's pork sign, False's farms and amnesia lore.
The advantage of watching all of the CCs is getting inspiration to build in your own minecraft world
We are spoiled.
Missing Gem tho, but she is moving irl afaik. So take your time dearie.

hi it’s me, the swordsman link. nice to meet you [gorons will help swordsman named link]
daruk would be so proud of yunobo and mipha would be so proud of sidon and i guarantee urbosa would be so proud of riju (i haven’t gotten there yet) but revali would just be really jealous of tulin LMAO
yay sage of fire yunobo!!!!!!!!!! i like daruk better i’m sorry
AW FISTBUMB THAT’S SO CUTE FUCK YEAH
i know it’s just the secret stone but yunobo fucking looks like he’s on fire gkhlsakgjlagk [giving the vow]
wait this is on my thumb? that’s gonna leave a finger leftover what the hell [rings/vows]
i’m gonna like recruit riju and then all of us are going to storm hyrule castle together somehow LMAO
oh shit the rock roast was made of gloom? that makes sense actually
i love the gorons :D
BLUDO NO YOU’RE GOING TO THROW YOUR BACK OUT AGAIN [yunobo’s apology]
vow of yunobo sage of fire :D
actually fucking going to gerudo town know istg
slightly untrue actually i’m going to make a detour to activate the last three towers but two of them are on the way so it’s probably fine [forest, gerudo, wasteland]
rauru knows ganondorf is evil and is keeping him close to keep an eye on him so he’s already many many steps ahead of the oot king
also did no one notice how ganondorf was commanding the moldugas in the last cutscene. what
alright made it to kara kara bazaar! how the FUCK am i supposed to get to gerudo town though
also thank fucking god they put a shrine here i Need it
these guys think they’re gonna be liked enough to be allowed into gerudo town. They Won’t
okay thank you tulin for helping me get here i still have no idea where i’m going but i can work with it thank you
OH FUCK GIBDOS. TERRIFYING

BULIARA DEFENDS ME???? AIGHT

alright, who’s the “master”
MASTER KOHGA??????
oh my god he fell into a pit maybe he’s been alive this WHOLE TIME
I WAS RIGHT
i cannot fucking believe this shit i’m so happy about it
great twist actually i deadass wasn’t expecting it
oh i love that so much
man are you planning on ripping my arm off. probably yes actually
alright boss time!
done! god that was so fun
i hope there aren’t any more misunderstandings in regards to his death though that would suck *cough @ofstormsandfire's absolutely fantastic fic no one ever mentions fear cough*
HGKLSAJGLKASG JUST FLIES OFF THAT’S SO FUNNY
alright that was a great detour and i am very happy i did it
back to josha!
i. completely forgot about faron. just a minute
climbed up totori rock. mistakes were made
back to riju. that puzzle was way too fuckin annoying [red pillar riddle]
ooh temple on the ground?
lightning temple… interesting. wasn’t sure if it would be lightning temple or thunder temple (maybe like sand or desert but i didn’t think so cause that didn’t seem like it would be a fitting sage title for riju)
OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT [queen gibdo]
am i just going straight into the boss fight??? no dungeon??? what the hell
ohhhhh it retreated. so i do still have a dungeon!
finally made it into this fucking place!
five bucks says this place is the token creepy dungeon. should’ve made that bet earlier tbh
oh that voice sounds JUST like urbosa holy shit
i like how the rooms in this place have like. names and stuff
alright boss time!
OH GOD THAT DID SO MUCH DAMAGE [queen gibdo]
holy shit this is gonna be a ROUGH one
FINALLY that took me 30 goddamn minutes
just realized i forgot to put on the vah naboris mask. oh well
ooh pretty earring
so the only ring missing is my middle finger. sure wonder why that is /s
oh man am i finally gonna be allowed in gerudo town without crossdressing? swag!
vow of riju sage of lightning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
alright, let’s go talk to purah. after we check in with her i’ll probably go looking for the rest of the memories
why is there a blood moon in the middle of the day. that seems really bad
okay time for dragon tears!
SONIA NO [sonia gets stabbed]
god that’s gotta be AWFUL for zelda since now she’s lost 3 separate moms :( [unnamed bio mom, urbosa, sonia]
oh god he looks damn near identical to demise [secret stone ganondorf]
oh fuck lynels look so terrifying now i hope i never ever have to fight one
thank you zelda for having braincells and leaving
rauru going to his death a better father than rhoam EVER was [zelda telling rauru about dehydrated ganondorf]
FI!!!! [fi chiming]
zelda??? zelda honey??? what are you doing?????  [dragon tear 11]
zelda??? Is that you??? [light dragon]
ZELDA NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [dragon tear 12]
god fuck I’m actually crying
heading to korok forest. i fucking hate this
oh jeez what’s up with the koroks? what’s up with the DEKU TREE?
FUCK GLOOM HANDS
i do not know how i killed them honestly
what the fuck PHANTOM GANON
okay that’s cool as fuck thank you totk for bringing back multiple great characters/enemies
alright i’ve got the master sword and i’m sobbing my eyes out thanks nintendo!
fucked around for a SUBSTANTIAL period of time i’m going to finally do the hyrule castle thing now i think
WHOEVER THAT IS SHUT YOUR SLUTTY MOUTH I KNOW BETTER YOU AREN’T MY GIRL [zelda voice]
i hate this so much i hate this soooo much stop looking like my girl and summoning monsters and let me fucking kill you please god
yknow this cutscene would probably hit different if i didn’t already do the dragon’s tears [sanctum cutscene]
alright i died to the first hit which is just excellent
FRIENDS! :D [sages showing up]
yknow if nothing else at least he didn’t make me fight a lynel
i love how tulin is just sitting on yunobo’s back after ganon’s thing. btw
oh, the champion’s tunic! thank you zelda i love you zelda
okay i love the conversation with harth and tulin. hope you were right about the polycule goddamn
i just noticed: link is BARELY taller than tulin holy fucking bingle

i bet it’s paya. i hope it is at least that would be cool i think
MINERU???? [voice]
oh god I’m in the ground MINERU WHY
MINERU!!!!
sage of spirit mineru pog!!!!!!
i was CONVINCED whoever it was would be the sage of shadow ngl but this works!
i have built a robot. this is apparently mineru now. i’m down for it tbh
she lost her secret stone? oh fuck that’s not good
I CAN RIDE AND DRIVE MINERU???? FUCK YEAH
oh what the FUCK is that [seized construct]
is there a dungeon here or just a boss fight? hold up
oh my GOD it takes NO DAMAGE i HATE that
wait fuck i slammed it into the fence that works thank fucking god
okay i stun locked it into the second phase which is excellent
done! that gives me big koloktos vibes actually i really like that
also really really helpful that i didn’t have to rely on my battery charge things during the fight i would’ve been FUCKED
MINERU WAS IN THE PURAH PAD????? THE WHOLEASS TIME???? SINCE MILLIONS OR WHATEVER YEARS AGO WHEN ZELDA SHOWED UP?????? i'm shook
actually the more i think about it the more her being the sage of spirit makes sense since she can like separate her soul from her body or whatever i'm pretty sure
there’s the last ring there’s the middle finger!
i do think that should've been riju though for. reasons
ma’am i swear to god if you tell me what i ALREADY KNOW about what happened to zelda
goddammit she is telling me that isn’t she
she’s the older sister? makes sense actually the vibes track
oh she’s explaining the murals from below the castle at the very very beginning! funky fresh
oh geez this is how he got dehydrated! or at least the start of it i guess
yeah, mineru, I KNOW WHAT SHE DID
MINERU WHY DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN WHY DID YOU LET HER DO THAT
god like i understand that you’re dying and there was no other choice but FUCK this hurts
vow of mineru sage of spirit……. fuck
purah please i KNOW you’re smarter than this you GOTTA put the pieces together so i don’t suffer this knowledge alone i fuckin REFUSE
well there she goes but no fucking reaction makes it worse, thanks

ASOS; Steel and Snow: 23 DAENERYS II (pages 311-330)
Missandei has her special guest cameo as Dany inspects the slave army Unsullied while being insulted by a man who doesn't know she speaks the language. Jorah pushes for her to go ahead and buy the army.
-
- and in the center of the fountain a monstrous harpy made of hammered bronze. Twenty feet tall she reared. She had a woman's face, with gilded hair, ivory eyes, and pointed ivory teeth. Water gushed yellow from her heavy breasts.
this sounds really cool, but also makes me horrifically curious about GRRM's porn viewing habits for reasons I can't explain.
🎶49 times we fought that beast🎶your old man an me🎶it had a chicken head with duck feet🎶and a woman's face too🎶 ...sorry, where was I?
... psh, slaver bastard's taking advantage of the perceived language barrier to be a complete rude piece of trash.
"The Good Master Kraznys asks, are they not magnificent?" The girl spoke the Common tongue well, for one who had never been to Westeros. No older than ten, she had the round flat face, dusky skin, and golden eyes of Naath. The Peaceful People, her folk were called.
Missandei!!! She's only ten? wow, D&D went hard with the age up. Like I knew she was a lot younger in the books, but show Missandei has to be, what? 18 at the youngest? early twenties? ... brb googling. ... yeah that's what I thought, her actress was about 22-23 when she first played Missandei.
... wow, just look how quickly these human rights violations are stacking up. It's like, GRRM is really determined to drive home how horrible these slave owners are, like we couldn't tell they were trash human beings just from them being slave owners.
The Unsullied need to Unionise.
This chapter is so fucking gross.
"- Tell her they are like Valyrian steel, folded over and over and hammered for years on end until they are stronger than any metal on earth."
Valyrian steel = 🍷
"Better to come a beggar than a slaver," Arstan said. "There speaks one who has been neither," Dany's nostrils flared, "Do you know what it is like to be sold, squire? I do. My brother sold me to Khal Drogo for the promise of a golden crown. Well, Drogo crowned him in gold, though not as he had wished, and I... my sun-and-stars made a queen of me, but if he had been a different man, it might have been much otherwise. Do you think I have forgotten how it felt to be afraid? ... "Only lies offend me, never honest counsel. (...) I have a dragon's temper, that's all.You must not let it frighten you."
It will be interesting to see if there's hints of that further in, her fear vs her temper, and whether there's a slide of the scales from one to the other.
She had taken care never to be alone with Ser Jorah after that, keeping her handmaidens with her aboard ship, and sometimes her bloodriders.
good thinking. throw him over board if need be!
... Irri/Dany has a major power imbalance, yet is still somehow healthier than the rest of her ships thus far.
"- I saw these sons of the harpy today, all their proud highborn warriors. They dress in linen skirts, and the fiercest thing about them was their hair. -"
local cops just rich sons in world's trashiest LARP cosplay, confirmed.
"There was no higher honor than to receive your knighthood from the Prince of Dragonstone." "Tell me, then - when he touched a man on the shoulder with his sword, what did he say? 'Go forth and kill the weak'? Or 'Go forth and defend them'? (...) did they give their lives because they believed in Rhaegar's cause, or because they had been bought and paid for?" (...) "My queen, (...) all you say is true. But Rhaegar lost on the Trident. (...) Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died."
You know, for all it hung over parts of the show, I feel like Rhaegar and Lyanna just didn't haunt the story of the show enough. They're a tragic backstory that gets trotted out for special occasions but mostly gathers dust on the mantle.
Not so, here in the books, where they remain characters even though they've both been dead for over a decade.
Here, we see Jorah using Rhaegar to jostle Dany down the slippery slope of compromise. Dany wants to do the right thing, the good and just and clearly morally correct thing, and she's going to try to find a moral solution she can live with, but there's Jorah at her side reminding her that being a good person* is what got Rhaegar killed. Suggesting the slave army and then continuing to steer her to partake in mass slavery, he just keeps "it's for the greater good"ing this. And if this is acceptable in the name of Dany's greater good, then what else is. If this much is okay, then surely just a bit more is okay, and a bit more is okay, and a bit more until you're miles from where you started and you aren't really sure how you got there but you're in too deep to get out.
*Rhaegar's goodness is debatable and subject to personal perspective. I'd taze him.
"- His blood swirled down the river with the rubies from his breastplate, and Robert the Usurper rode over his corpse t steal the Iron Throne. -"
ruby | rubies = 🍷
