#flight of the innocent

[revacholianpizzaagenda]

With the discovery that Dora might just somehow be Dolores Dei herself, some things have gotten exponentially funnier:

Ambrosius' coronation,

#disco elysium #dolores dei #dora ingerlund #ambrosius saint miro #the mother of humanism is not having ANY of this she's gonna book a flight to Mesque and talk to the manager this INSTANT #funniest possible addition to the list of characters who aren't going to have a good time a few months after game events: #1. Noid (known Innocences hater) 2. Steban (known Innocences hater) 3. Ulixes (extremely likely Innocences hater) #4. Dolores Fucking Dei herself no less

After becoming overly fixated on Dragon!AU, I ended up creating brothers in Flight Rising's (free dragon browser game) generator.

[little-eye-guy]

do you like my chart

finally decided to sit down and just fill it all out at once. also i really didn't want to mess with gradients but enough of the combos have a distinct one so i just gave one to each (except common)

#eye guy speaks #eye guy plays fr #these are for my adopts but it's also just nice to have on hand #i never have to go to the scrying workshop for an eye color again #the gradients are back -> front #dark sclera is top -> bottom #faceted glowing innocent and swirl are not gradients but distinct elements. biggest section being the base color #oh! and goat is outer -> inner. like a ring #goat should probably also have a shine but ehhhhh didn’t feel like it #flight rising #forgor to tag it. might be useful to some of you....?

Icarus…

I often believe myself to put even icarus to shame. I’ve always wanted to touch the sun, despite never being good enough to bask in its light. Were you ever aware, You were my sun? And I was your icarus? So even then, why did the sun fall? And not the angel? I will write letters to you in hopes you will rise once more, And I will the leave the comma out, when I call you my dearest.

�� Oresteia

To those who seemed to have fallen harder in love than a fallen angel themselves with the sun.

Just because I named my Gaoler pair Earth and Moon doesn’t mean you should name spam this. I find this some what rude like.

#this site really censored the word Sunshine but not this? #this word can be insulting to ppl #flight rising #in fact flight rising has censored a lot of innocent words that have no harm #the devs should really go through again and update their lists

[filmnoirsbian]

oh no! i always turn up to the airport very early in case there’s problems, does that cause issues for flight attendants/staff?

Not unless you pester us about it

#dads love to walk up to innocent flight attendants (me) and demand to know info about their delta flights (me: not delta) #asks #work stuff

i love it when you’re reading a fanfic and it slowly becomes more and more obvious that the author is british

#as an american #it’s like little innocent clues dropped in random sentences #‘he was angry with everything. he was angry FULL STOP’ #clue one #‘he turned on flight mode’ #clue two #i feel like sherlock holmes #lesha talks

I remembered that Blossom was a gene that existed last night and immediately my brain decided to try and scry

Flowey.

He's just doing his job, why is everyone so up in arms about this??

#dash coms;; #neuvillette: he's guilty until proven innocent and a flight risk!

Sansa, the whistleblower

The following indented paragraphs are all quoted from a post by @bidonica from 2011 (I'm reposting the bulk of it with permission).

I think we shouldn't underestimate the angle of both Sandor and Petyr not only playing a role in her disillusionment in knights and honor in general, but also triggering Sansa's sexual awakening in sort of an oblique way ("oblique" especially when comparing it to Dany's - I think that by now Sansa is of the same age as Daenerys in AGoT?). The scene where she overhears Lysa and Petyr having sex and then she has a nightmare about her wedding night where she substitutes Tyrion with Sandor really stuck with me in this sense. So idk, while I think that Petyr's impact on Sansa's arc is the one now on the forefront - and also the one that makes for the biggest ripercussions on the bigger story - I'm not sure Sandor is entirely out of her life either? Mostly because I think he and Petyr kind of act as each other's foil where Sansa is concerned, one is all about the importance of lies while the other is all about telling it like it is, down to the physicality like Sandor being huge and rough where Petyr is short and refined. I'm also pretty sure that Sandor is projecting on Sansa just as much as Petyr is projecting his dream!Cat on her

Bold emphasis is mine because I thought it was a really interesting observation. (And if anyone has written about this or has thoughts to share, please do!)

(though it bugs the hell out of me that GRRM uses "little bird" both as Sandor's nickname for Sansa and for Varys' child spies. Which from an in-story perspective is probably just a coincidence because it's a common phrase or something? But is it? #secondguessingEVERYTHING)

Sandor calls Sansa a little bird because he's calling her out on repeating back things she's been taught, like a parrot would. Varys' little birds act similarly in the sense that it's in their job description as spies to repeat everything they hear back to Varys. Of course, unlike Varys, Sansa doesn't exactly have some grand hidden political agenda.

But there's definitely food for thought there in terms of how it can relate back to Petyr who like Varys has his own spy network, but unlike Varys brings the bird motif directly onto himself (his personal arms bear mockingbirds… singing birds), and later onto Sansa through her posing as his bastard daughter Alayne (he even gifts her a mockingbird brooch as we learn in AFFC Alayne II) and teaching her how to play the game of thrones. Add in Bran who is being taught to use the weirwoods to see through time and space (and eventually influence events) by Bloodraven, and who has his own bird motif going on… I guess GRRM really wants us to know birds go hand in hand with scheming in ASOIAF. And scheming definitely deals with questions of honesty and falsehoods, a recurring theme in Sansa's storyline.

We see Sansa become a more convincing liar throughout the books, but also become more comfortable with lies under Petyr's influence (see AFFC Sansa I) as he starts teaching/manipulating/grooming her all at the same time. Sandor called out Sansa on her so-called lies which was really about enacting "courtesy is a lady's armor" – and he wasn't the only one, Cersei and Tyrion call out Sansa too, in their thoughts or to her face. Depending on the scene, Sansa was just trying to be polite or her responses were the placating strategy of an abuse victim protecting herself from more potential abuse. It's worth mentioning Arya too, both a foil and parallel to her sister, who vocally chafed against Sansa's actual lies, and has been resorting to vigilantism lately. All this on top of an overarching thematic preoccupation with justice/honor/ideals found in almost every POV.

I'm entering speculation territory here, but I think this theme of truths/lies, the tension that derives from having values you want to uphold, and the time and place for it all will play out and come to a head in the context of confronting the reality of who Petyr is and the fine line she is walking alongside him in terms of culpability/responsibility. (In addition to what has already happened, who knows what else Petyr gets them entagled in by the time we see a resolution to this portion of her storyline.) Such a moment would also be an oppotunity to showcase Sansa honing her political skills (student surpassing the teacher trope, assuming she manages to keep her head which if nothing else seems a safe bet), as well as a step on her path to healing, likely as she brings him to justice for his crimes by coming forward as a witness or even accomplice. Sort of acting as a whistleblower, and here we're back to the little bird/mockingbird of it all.
