[brother-emperors]

 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--

AM 26.4.3-4

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

another unfriendly reminder: at Maigu Ridge, the sex is not what killed Shen Qingqiu. AFTER the sex, when Binghe was coherent again, Shen Qingqiu started drawing the excess demonic energy out of Xin Mo himself. and once Binghe realized what he was doing, they destroyed the sword together.

did we forget "'Dying together' also included a 'together.' It didn't seem that bad." ????

#DYING TOGETHER ALSO INCLUDED A TOGETHER!! #死在一起也包含了在一起!!!!!!!! #I think that's another poetic thing about this scene - that the 'papapa to save the world' didn’t save the world really #it saved binghe #and then they saved the world together #it's just such a perfect echo of the whole novel's commentary on false desires of narrative tropes vs the real weight of individual choice #they kill me oml #in the next scene when shen qinqiu is all worried bc the system can only save him and he's worried binghe already left #and when we learn he DID try to follow shen qingqiu... #my heart my heart my heart #they're everything #svsss #scum villain's self saving system #bingqiu #shen qingqiu #luo binghe #svsss meta #人渣反派自救系统

i was so happy that ganondorf was a character in totk when it was announced but now i am just sad about it honestly, i get that the older games had the trio as a good kids VS evil old guy thing, but i sincerely hoped that how much botw revolutionized(?) about the zelda principle in terms of gameplay they would now have the chance to do so, at least a little bit, in totk with the story

and then, as much as i like his design, hes again just an already very old evil guy that appeared out of nowhere for all we know that needs to be stopped by some kids/really young people and all the crumbs of personality or well ... not even crumbs but pure idea of a backstory we have to interpret into it all from things like manner of speech, animation and design elements bc all he does is some evil monologing that doesnt even serve well for interpretation

like, he was already so old when we first see him, what did he do all his life?? like even if he only turned aggressive once rauru founded this version of hyrule he had to have lived idk 50 years before that, was he just a regular leader of his people before that?? was he just .. some dude?? all we actually know is ... old evil guy shows up and attacks the perfect and good kingdom (tm) dont we? maybe some vague, arbitrary you denied me *generic villain thing like power, rule etc* line but thats it?

(i dont mind having to read between the lines, it can be very fun, but it also depends on if you are reading between lines and theres something intentionally left there or if you are trying really hard to see something but theres nothing actually there for you to find; to be clear, i also like creating your own ideas around stuff, but when you get to know some people from basically birth to their prime time and then theres a guy thats just there to be an endboss and even now in modern games doesnt get anything beyond a neat design and fun bossfight its just ... so flat?sad? i love interpeting but i also wouldnt mind to see something more for once ..)

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #totk #idk if this counts as a rant #and he can stay evil but i just want to see more for once!! #you are not born evil #also the way the other gerudo just disappear from everything as soon as he gets the stone is like #huh??? #did they never like him and abandoned him as soon as they could? #di HE not have ANY connection to ANYONE???? #the other gerudo are like in the moldora cutscene and the one where he -swears his loyality to hyrule that lasts like half an hour #and then never again?? #he goes oni mode and bam its only monsters now #and AGAIN we were aluded to that there would be more #with the trailer that showed him with other gerudos!! #i know alot of what was in the trailer didnt matter and got removed #but still #its like the intro that dangles in front of you the possibilty of zelda being your companion and exploring together only to yank it all awa #WOOP jokes on YOU there was never actually anything there!! haha you are dumb to let that get your hopes up LOL LMAO #chewing on wood #>:C

[dullahanblorboposting]

Not gonna lie, I think my favorite potential options to follow 'Is that what you-', are 'think' and 'want'

Is that what you think? You get to come back and tear everything apart because it has to be this way? As in, You think you can just waltz back into baldur's gate- no- my life, play the same little games we used to play, rekindle our alliance, just so you can throw it right away? You think you can do that while telling me you RETURNED the feelings?

You think 'this is how it must be'? Do you REALLY think that?

Or in a similar way:

Is that what you WANT? To throw it away this second chance we have? To destroy everything we worked so hard to build together? Now that we are finally together once again?

Incredulous and angry, like he is about to argue with them, try one last time to get Durge to see reason after the hesitation brought on my his memories, his emotions, gets the better of him. But then he reels himself back in and proceeds with the battle instead. Because that's not his Durge and it's what he HAS to do. It's just. Hhhhhhhhh

#gortash #it just feels more natural with the tone of his voice for that line while still making me insane at the possible implications #bg3 #durgetash #durge #he sounds incredulous #god i cant believe you personally get to traumatize the traumatized man. hey yea the me that died like you #not this me tho. i personally am going to destroy everything 'we' built together while wearing old me's skin :) #but i DID like you. just think bout that while we battle to the death #baldur's gate 3

*clears throat* HIGH HUMANITY P FINALLY BEING ABLE TO EAT AND SHARING ALL KINDS OF WONDERFUL TREATS WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my god Bloodbrown you are reading my mind ahhhh!!

I bet he would love baking so much, and he takes it so seriously when you tell him the best kind of treats are the ones made with love! I actually have a plot bunny about teaching P how to bake and cook floating around in my notes that I’m excited to get some time to work on.

Okay okay!

The growl of a stomach and the pang of hunger had initially concerned P, who tugged on your sleeve urgently. As you turned to face him his stomach rumbled again, you laughed at his mounting concern and explained that it sounded like he was hungry.

“You know, like how when I wake up I always have something to eat? Like that.” You soothed, the worry lines in his brow settling. 

This was something normal, something human. 

He was now very excited about the prospect of a new human thing he’d be able to try, and eating was something he’d been longing to do, watching you eat tended to be awkward and everything you made looked so appetising.

“I think I have something in the pantry you’ll really like.” You beamed, dragging him into the hotel’s kitchen.

You swung open the pantry doors and rummaged a bit, P looked over your shoulder curiously. The pantry wasn’t filled to the brim but what was in there he wasn’t familiar with at all, tins, cartons and baskets full of food and ingredients he didn’t know the name of.

“Ah hah!” You cheered, pulling a white, metal box from the pantry. “I promise you’ll love these!”

You popped off the lid and inside where multiple yellow discs with brown pieces scattered throughout them, he tilted his head and you waved the box in front of him,

“Try one! They’re homemade.” You coaxed, not that he would take much convincing when it came to you.

“Home… made?” He took a disc, the paper surrounding them crinkling, you also took one for yourself before placing the box on the countertop beside you. 

“It means it was made in the home, I made these ones myself. Some people believe the best kind of food is made with love, which you get plenty of in homemade cooking!” You explained, his eyes widened owlishly, throughly impressed once again by your abilities and your knowledge. You’d said before that they weren’t exactly difficult skills to pick up but he didn’t know how to make a… wait what is this thing?

“What… is it?” He questioned, turning the disc over in his hands. 

“It’s a chocolate chip cookie.” It was solid in his hand but the surface had a bounce to it, he brought it up to his mouth and was even more eager to try it now that he could smell it. 

You watched his reaction closely as he bit into the treat, any hesitance was quickly replaced with pure joy as he rushed to finish the rest of the cookie. 

“You like it?” You asked, and you got an enthusiastic nod in response, a giggle bubbling up from P’s throat boyishly. “Would you like another?”

“Yes!” He beamed, you held the box back out to him and he took another cookie for himself but stopped short when he noticed that you hadn’t done the same.

He frowned, looked at the cookie and then back at you before splitting the treat down the middle and offering one half to you. “Love should… be shared.”

You couldn’t agree more.

#hey it’s bloodbrown #fairy is answering #lies of p #lies of p x reader #pinocchio x reader #added the read more cause I got a little carried away whoops #he would love chocolate so so much I just know it #trying out a thing with P's dialogue - probably something that would work better with low humanity rather than high humanity #but i think him struggling to string his sentences together because he's not used to speaking so much is kind of sweet #makes him even softer spoken in my mind #also also on the note of the baking/cooking plot bunny #P is totally an eats all the ingredients guy #and yes he definitely did make the mistake of trying vanilla extract and cocoa powder after being told he wouldn't like them raw #also he makes a mess of everything but we love him for it #🦋 let your conscience be your guide #nov 2023

[animentality]

Which companions to romance as a Durge?? Used to be on team Astarion but now I just feel like he is too stupid(canon smooth brain, he is lovely tho) for my durge who was/is in into Gortash.. :(

GALE. THE ANSWER IS GALE.

#baldurs gate 3 #bg3 #dark urge #gale dekarios #weavewithshadow can tell you #the gortash to gale pipeline is real #its about scruffy ambitious men who need to sit back and smell the durge roses #why did you have to rule the world why did you need to become a god #you could lie here with me darling #we could kiss and hug and tell each other secrets and learn the universe together #we could have everything right here #so why did you go to the morphic pool #why did you try and touch the sun #your light belongs here #in my palms

"I wonder what I'd be without you"

#just wanted to emphasize the Master's expressions here #the biggest 'his gaze softened' to have ever 'his gaze softened'-ed #you can see him going from confused to the moment when he's finally touched with realization by ten's word with the eyebrow raise #and how he's visibly holding back the tears and simply can't contain a smile that only grows bigger #and the way he looks at then by the end really has a mix of emotions but for me it screams longing #because with the way he says “yeah” and his thoughtful expression at the beginning he very likely was reminiscing their memories together #and he comes to realization that yeah. what were they without each other. #or you can say that he just finally felt touched that ten isn't willing to let go of the 2 of them together after everything the master did #considering this was the first time we saw him in a moment of vulnerability. he was scared even #he opened himself very briefly for the first time and ten still showed compassion towards him #okay this got way longer that I thought but I think a LOT was spoken here even with no words #a big applause to john simm's facial acting here of course #thoschei #tensimm #best enemies #doctor who #tenth doctor #10th doctor #simm!master

incredibly confused by modern hookup culture and the idea that you can enhance your own sexual pleasure by never committing / being emotionally involved with a partner and sleeping with lots of different people. sure, you get the thrill of sleeping with a new/ish person. but nothing will ever come close to the levels of pleasure you get when you and your lover both trust each other entirely, and know each other's bodies like they were your own. why would you deny yourself that level of pleasure by never forming a connection. truly fucking bizarre to me.

#like not to be crude. but my partner and I have been together for the best part of four years #and everything about our lovemaking is infinitely enhanced by our trust and knowledge of each other. #we have much more intense and passionate and pleasurable sex now than we did when we first met. #which is really saying something because our sex life has always been really wonderful right from the start #but now it is so much more ... everything. every single aspect is enhanced and heightened #just truly do not understand .............

sorry. aventurine got me

it was the "chasing after your past self (who loves you and wants to encourage you and ease all your fears) through an amusement park while your future self (who hates you and spends every second disparaging and tormenting you) follows close behind" sequence. two seconds into that and i knew i was doomed

I think that Laios Touden should be dropped into the Supernatural universe, just for a week or two, just to shatter the entire basis of 70% of the plot arcs.

Please can you imagine if "The Man Who Can Figure Out How To Safely Cook And Consume Any Monster" were in spn. most of the show's foundational facts/arcs will no longer function.

Laios breaks spn by existing

#dungeon meshi #dunmeshi #spn #also Laios and Sam should really not be allowed in the same room because they are each others' worst influence #“what if we could safely eat EVERYTHING” #“what if instead of worrying abt 'safe' we eat things that make us magic-er. even if they're sentient. esPECIALLY IF-” #...those two would be horrifying together. #add Cas in and who the FUCK knows what they'd do #*Laios vibrating excitedly* YOU'VE EATEN THE LEVIATHAN!??! #Cas: ...yes. don't do it???? #Laios: ok but what if we do do it. #Sam: actually yeah what IF we did that #Cas: *begrudging curiosity*

[pilferingapples]

as a big les mis fan, i have loved your blog for ages but recently you have especially piqued my interest - in your recent explanatory amis post, you referenced historical metacontext around jehan's death being first. i have a theory about what that metacontext is, but i am FAR from certain and hoping you could offer me some clarification

(also do you have any other pieces of interesting historical metacontext to share with the class)

OK you gotta tell me your Theory too!!! if it lines up or it was something totally different , I wanna hear it alllll

anyway! it's pretty solid that Prouvaire as he finally appears is largely an homage to Hugo's old friend Gérard de Nerval, who had died in 1855; a LOT about Prouvaire's description overlaps with how people talk about Gérard, and the conversation where he's arguing with everyone about the old gods still existing lines up EXTREMELY with conversations that other people remembered having with him ; there's THIS :

Jean Prouvaire was in love; he cultivated a pot of flowers, played on the flute, made verses, loved the people, pitied woman, wept over the child, confounded God and the future in the same confidence (LM 3.4.1, Hapgood)

“God is dead, perhaps,” said Gerard de Nerval one day to the writer of these lines, confounding progress with God and taking the interruption of movement for the death of Being.(LM 5.1.20)

(Hugo still trying to still have this conversation with his friend via novel guts me more than a little!! People are people and we never stop wanting to find the right thing to say oh geez I'm crying for real)

Bahorel , who dies in the same first-charge attack that takes Prouvaire, is also a (even more obvious) homage to a friend; Petrus Borel , who had died in 1859.

They're considered pretty minor figures today, but they were both really noteable names in their day, which is to say...about the late 1820s/early 1830s; they were two of Hugo's most trusted lieutenants in the battle of Hernani, held in French Romantic memory as a breakout event for the movement. And, importantly, they were the first of that core group of more radical Romantics to die.

So while i think there is a lot going on character- and symbol-wise with them being the first two Amis down, I also think there's definitely an Acknowledgement in them being the first of the named group to go; they get the sort of heroic deaths they'd have liked, and maybe the closest thing to Good deaths on the barricade until OFPD? and agh I'm emotional, QUICK tell me your theories before I start crying harder

#Poetry Smash #they get to leave the scene while everyone's still got honest hope for success #by the time more named characters go they know. we all know #not this time. It wasn't your time it wasn't for you #(at least you did everything you could do) #but Prouvaire and Bahorel die with the future so close they can call it #or stand between it and death #before despair and before doom #and on a practical level I would never argue it changes things #but on a symbolic level I think it does #also: they don't NEED the barricade like some do #they show up together. they go together. They're ready already #EMOTIONS #APPARENTLY #Jehan #Bahorel #Actual Romantics in Fictional Paris
