I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but there seems to be an 19th century man on my back porch. I've given him a cup of tea but unfortunately my roommate is highly allergic to menfolk or I'd ask him inside. Is there anything else I should do for him? Or should I just leave him be?
Oh dear! You can try leaving articles of clothing for him, such as a greatcoat or macintosh, or even a cache of tinned food (which is known to attract 19th century men).
But at this point, if he hasn’t found a good home, you may want to turn to a local organisation such as a social club for 19th century gentlemen. He wasn't made to be wandering alone; he should be socialising and enjoying whitebait dinners with his peers!

EASY COMPANY AS THE MAJOR ARCANA IN TAROT
A/N: so this one is according to ME (user ronsparky), because I had this crazy idea this morning about how our guys represent many archetypes from the Tarot so I knew I had to do something. Apologies in advance as I'm still learning, also thanks to my friend (not really from the fandom) who is really great at this stuff and taught me so much.
Dick Winters: The Chariot, represents control, willpower, success, action, determination and security. He represents all of this for the company being always there, trying his best to guide and take care of everybody, he gives so much hope and comfort.
Lewis Nixon: The World, it stands for completion, integration, accomplishment, travel, study, also represents an emotional jorney and in the end in fulfillment something that he ofter brings to the table being an intelligence officer.
Ronald Speirs: Death, people often don't understand and fear this one as they are afraid of what they see, but Death also means cutting out what is unnecessary, a fresh new start, resolutions, metamorphosis and intuition, we saw all of that in his development.
Carwood Lipton: Temperance, represents balance, moderation, patience, purpose and is a reminder to remain calm during hard moments. He basically did all of that for the guys, always trying his best even, giving a smile or just cutting the crap.
Harry Welsh: The Lovers, as it represents love (obviously), romance, harmony but also stands for union, is warm, being supportive. He could be the sun tho, but he is too romantic so I had too.
Shifty Powers: The Sun, happiness, success, vitality, joy, confidence, turth, happiness and above all optimism, radiating love and hope. He is just so pure and always tries to see the good side of things, even when things aren't so great.
Bull Randleman: Kinda obvious but Strenght, because it represents courage, bravery, sel-confidence and specially power but can be so caring and have the rare balance between power and focus, being protective, guiding people and being a leader.
George Luz: Also The Sun, for success, abundance, and radiance, can brighten an entire galaxy and brings joy even after a big storm. Also carries this warm feeling for those around him that is just so adorable and also Luz in portuguese means Light
John Martin: The Emperor, mostly because of all the aura of authority, control and discipline but always thinking about his people and trying to bring order and working hard.
Roy Cobb: The Tower, I will not elaborate it.
John Janovec: Wheel of Fortune, basically fate and unexpected events sometimes good, sometimes bad.
Eugene Roe: The Star, carrying hope and healing for those who need it the most. It requires incredible strenght as it stands still up in the sky even when the clouds are blocking the view, even when you forget it's there.
Bill Guarnere: The Fool, kinda wild and people see this crazy dude that can get into real trouble by being reckless, but I thinkg it also represents spontaneity, adventure and a new journey ahead.
Tag list: @xxluckystrike, @mads-weasley
If you want to be added to my tag list please let me know :)
Also let me know what you think about it!!!

i have a friend who very adamantly tells me that ned not thinking about hating rhaegar or several pov characters only having nice things to say about rhaegar is on purpose so they can portray him as being the worst character to ever exist in the next book LMFAO
Well...sorry to your friend, but that's not how subervisons are written (and certainly not how Geroge is writing them). George's reputation for shocking moments + the lack of material for 10+ years has really done a number on discussions in this fandom. We're at the point where any analysis that has basis in the books is ignored for being "too simple" and people are coming up with theories with no evidence other than "that's just the feeling I get". I'm not even surprised at your friend for having this take when they're in the same fandom that debates Jon's parentage because Rhaegar + Lyanna being his parents is "too obvious". We can figure it out because there are actual hints to it in the books, but it will still be a "shocking" revelation when it comes out (if not to us then at least to the characters).
It's the same with Rhaegar being portrayed as a decent person, or Rhaelya being portrayed as romantic; they both subvert expectations! People need to realize that we weren't meant to have all of this time between ADWD and TWOW to overanalyze the books... sometimes it's just not that deep. Our first perception of Rhaegar + his relationship with Lyanna is overshadowed by the fact that we barely know anything about either character. Their existence is intentionally vague and we slowly learn more about their characters through people who knew them + Dany and Arya being their literary mirrors. The problem is that people make theories based on them despite the new information that we learn. "Rhaegar is actually a terrible person and we know this because people think about him positively" is the kind of twist we would get if AGOT was released today by incompetent writers like D&D😭

Could you do 11 with lee!George and ler!Karl 😵💫
-emmadoodlewrites
from this post!
KNF KNF KNF KNF KNF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11 - “Hold still, this is going to tickle a little”
(lee!George / ler!Karl : 458 words)
It was a calm afternoon in North Carolina. George and Sapnap were visiting Karl, having some plans to film a few Banter episodes and do some streams while they were all together. Even though it was a little past noon, they were just getting up, having stayed up way later than intended and making them sleep in longer than they would’ve liked to. George was the first to move, stretching his arms above his head with a groan, feeling his muscles pull as he reached higher and arched further forward. Hands were suddenly on his stomach, making him squeak quietly as he pulled his arms back to his body with a giggle.
“Kahaharl, what are you doing?!” George whispered in fake offense, turning his body slightly so he could see the younger boy behind him. The hands were still resting along his stomach, not moving but not letting him get out of the grasp when he tried.
“Cuddling. M’ eepy.” Karl replied, making George roll his eyes with another giggle. He looked past Karl and saw Sapnap wrapped up in the blankets, still sound asleep. Karl squeezed George’s stomach lightly, smiling into his pillow as the elder squirmed in his arms.
“Okahahay! Sleep then, cuddle with Sap!” George fought back, grabbing Karl’s wrists and trying to pull them away from his body. Karl wiggled his fingers quickly, causing George to jump in surprise with another high pitched squeal before falling back into quiet giggles. He was trying his best to not wake up the younger of the boy’s, knowing how grumpy he can get.
“Well I don’t wanna wake him up, silly boy. Besides, I like hearing you giggle.” Karl commented, voice just above a whisper and close to George’s ear. George felt his cheeks flush, bringing his shoulder up and rubbing at his ear a few times before letting out a small whine, falling back down against his pillow and allowing himself to press back against Karl.
“Fine…just…behehe nice, please?” George squeezed his eyes shut as he felt Karl’s hands beginning to move again, sucking in his stomach as much as possible and whining when the tickly fingers followed anyway.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever you say,” Karl shushed him, leaning forward to place a kiss against the back of George’s head. His hands sprung back to life for a second, scribbling and spidering lightly against the jumpy tummy before stopping, making George whimper as the anticipation grew. He chuckled as George’s panicked giggles spilled into the room once again as Karl repeated the action. Karl decided he had teased George enough and decided to take pity on him, pulling him in a little tighter when he began to squirm.
“Hold still, this is going to tickle a little.”

How do I keep my 19th century man from drinking too much absinthe and moving into a brothel full time?
Ah, the age-old question of how to prevent a 19th century man from setting a course for dissipation and decadence!
There certainly is a good selection of temperance literature out there. You might try to warn him of the destructive power of alcoholic spirits with a powerful set of illustrations like 'The Bottle' (1847) by George Cruikshank.
The 1848 sequel by Cruikshank, 'The Drunkard's Children', shows the effects of prostitution and crime on the same unfortunate family.
A prisoner lies dying in his bed, his life ruined by earlier frivolity. Coloured etching by G. Cruikshank, 1848, after himself.
They're highly melodramatic and were huge media successes in their day—and hopefully, Cruikshank's cautionary tale can make a difference with your 19th century man. Good luck!
