Hiii everyone, say, how do your Hawkes go go about sharing their estate? If they do it at all? Is everyone free to come and go or are they more private? Or do they only invite their LI to stay? I'm curious!! :)

#lay rambles #my ocs #oc: liam hawke #oc: lilian hawke #both my hawkes are very social w their friends but i love comparing their boundaries around it #theres variation in rules for specific ppl with both of them ofc but theres still general differences #with liam its all very open and everyone can p much come and go whenever #they dont get extra keys (theyll get lost and he doesnt want randos finding them lol) but they know where to find the spare key #and bodhan and sandal and orana know to let them in whenever #hes very lenient in this this regard but he does have rules abt what he does and doesnt want them to do #mostly its about not making too much of a mess lol bc liam prefers to clean himself #(he doesnt trust the crew with his household and also he has particular ways of doing things and Hates when theyre done differently) #so things like keep your dirty garb at the entrance dont cook by yourselves (this was banned after they did it one (1) time lol) etc #also no fucking allowed. do that somewhere else for the love of the maker he does NOT want to walk into that in his own house #(and it also comes back to liam not trusting them with cleaning but also Not wanting to clean that up lol) #also he is not fond of them going into his room uninvited. most of the house is chill but that is *his* space #he accommodates these rules by e.g. having spare slippers and a little washing basin in the entrance hall for dirty shoes/feet #always makes sure to have snacks in stock that he knows they like #food will have notes abt what to leave for leandra/orana/etc but otherwise food is prepared with his friends in mind #and in general he'll make sure to adjust the space/routine in little ways to accommodate them #(air out when fen isnt there cus he doesnt like drafts; keep curtains open cus anders prefers open spaces; etc) #lilian on the other hand doesnt like when her friends come into the estate without a heads up (cept for emergencies) #but once they have her 'ok' its basically mi casa es su casa #dont yknow. overdo it and get too rowdy but otherwise do whatever #however. she also expects everyone to clean up after themselves. she aint here to play maid and youre all adults #also liam has a general 'please try to not be too wild when leandra is here' and lilian doesnt #not cos she doesnt care but cos leandra is bothered by sth she can speak up herself #oh and lilian uses the basement space as temporary refuge for anyone who needs it (mostly escaped mages) #also side note: both offered gamlen to stay but he refused (out of pride/remorse) #...this got long and i ran out of tag space lmfao so this is it for now xD

I think Gepard would also probably like to pick him up by the scruff like a kitten (and throw him in jail) !

Thank you for the compliment @durasposts ;w; I have been enjoying doodling Sampo so I am glad he's been appreciated!

#honkai star rail #sampo koski #trailblazer #gepard landau #not actually meant to be ship art but whatever floats your boat in regards to them ??? #i dont really follow many people on tumblr but i do know on Another Site ive seen fanart of silly belobog boys #many a time so i assume its very popular #too each their own and the trailblazer is just there to be impressed with lifting the much taller male even taller #the way people describe being fond of a character has grown progressively more bizarre to me #and i love it so much tbh ... i like the weird ways of admitting you like a character #im so boring and say oh i like this guy and then others i want to pick him up by the scruff of his neck #or someone i dearly love telling me i wanna swing him around like miss trunchbull would #and im like you know what the oc the person said it about im like thats really fair tbh

To aid me on my quest of extreme procrastination, I've decided to translate the French version of The Dragon's Code. For context, the non-English versions of the Thea Stilton books have little extended scenes at the end that are basically just the main characters chilling after solving the mystery. There's quite a bit to translate, so I'm breaking it up and just translating one character per post.

Starting off with Violet!

Right off the bat she writes a letter to Colette, complaining about the nicknames that they gave Vi. She acknowledges the other nicknames Colette gives her friends, like calling Pamela "Pam" and Nicky "Nic" (And Violet points out that it's a bit excessive, since Nicky's already an abbreviated name). Violet then addresses the nicknames that Colette gave her: "Vivi" and "Princess". She hates these nicknames with a burning passion.

In fact, Violet is being so incredibly petty about it that she comes up with a couple of amazing nicknames for Colette to get back at her. My favorites include:

"Collante": Sticky

"Cocotte": Casserole

"Colique": Colic (I had to look this one up to understand the joke; Colic is frequent, prolonged and intense crying or fussiness in a healthy infant. Violet's basically using a fancy term for cry-baby.)

These jokes wouldn't have worked as well in the English version, but they're hilarious in French.

Then she writes a list of various things that annoy her, like loud music (dangit pamela), nicknames (looking at you colette), people who talk while she's trying to study, etc., etc.

However, the next letter Violet writes is to her parents, in which she mentions that she has some new friends! She's like: "Hey Dad, I know I'm terribly shy and introverted and most people view me as a dismissive, short-tempered person, but I have friends now! Even I'm surprised by this development!"

Honestly, it's very sweet to see how much happier Violet is after properly getting to know and become friends with the other Thea Sisters. Despite all of their differences, Violet has grown to appreciate their company and uniqueness. She ends off her letter with a hopeful little note:

"P.S: Raxford (Mouseford in other translations) has an amphitheatre where we can give concerts. Wouldn't it be great if we could organize one and have you come?"

All in all, very cute extended scenes :)

#geronimo stilton #thea sisters #thea stilton #violet chen #over time it seems like violet does grow fond of the nickname colette gave her (vivi) #also calling someone a casserole is one of the most fascinating insults one can think of #imagine annoying someone and they're just like “shut up you're a total casserole” #will probably translate Pamela's letters next #she seems to have quite a bit to say regarding some of her friends #should be interesting #many thanks to the internet archive and deepL for making this post possible

I've been thinking about the tragedy of Elizabeth Woodville living to see the death of her family name.

I don't mean her family with her husband, which lived on through her daughter and grandson. I mean her own.

Her sisters died, one by one, many of them after 1485. When Elizabeth died, only Katherine was left, and she would die before the turn of the century as well.

All her brothers died, too. Lewis died in childhood. John was executed. Anthony was murdered. Lionel died suddenly in the peak of Richard's reign, unable to see his niece become queen. Edward perished at war. Richard died in grieving peace. For all the violence and judgement the family endured, it was "an accident of biology" that ended their line: none of the brothers left heirs, and the Woodville name was extinguished. We know the family was aware of this. We know they mourned it, too:

“Buy a bell to be a tenor at Grafton to the bells now there, for a remembrance of the last of my blood.”

Elizabeth lived through the deposition and death of her young sons, and lived to see the end of her own family name. It must have been such a haunting loss, on both sides.

#(the quote is by Richard Woodville in his deathbed will; he was the last of the Woodville brothers to die) #elizabeth woodville #woodvilles #my post #to be clear I am not arguing that the death of an English gentry family name is some kind of giant tragedy (it absolutely the fuck is not) #I'm trying to put it into perspective with regards to what Elizabeth may have felt because we know her family DID feel this way #writing this kinda reminded me of how I am just not fond at all about the way Elizabeth's experiences in 1483-85 are written about #and the way lots so many of the unprecedentedly horrifying aspects are overlooked or treated so casually: #the seizure and murder of two MINOR sons and the illegal execution of another; #her sheer vulnerability in every way compared to all her queenly predecessors; how she was harassed by 'dire threats' for months; #how she had 5 very young daughters with her to look after at the time (Bridget and Katherine were literally 3 and 4 years old); #how unprecedented Richard's treatment of her was: EW was the first queen of england to be officially declared an adulteress; #and the first and ONLY queen to be officially accused of witchcraft #(Joan of Navarre was accused of her treason; she was never explicitly accused of witchcraft on an official level like EW was) #the first crowned queen of england to have her marriage annulled; and the first queen to have her children officially bastardized #what former queens endured through rumors* were turned into horrifying realities for her. #(I'm not trying to downplay the nightmare of that but this was fundamentally on a different level altogether) #nor did Elizabeth get a trial or appeal to the church. like I cannot emphasize this enough: this was not normal for queens #and not normal for depositions. ultimately what Richard did *was* unprecedented #and of course let's not forget that Elizabeth had literally just been unexpectedly widowed like 20 days before everything happened #I really don't feel like any of this is emphasized as much as it should be? #apart from the horrifying death of her sons - but most modern books never call it murder they just write that they 'disappeared' #and emphasize that ACTUALLY we don't know what happened to them (this includes Arlene Okerlund) #rather than allowing her to have that grief (at the very least) #more time is spent dealing with accusations that she was a heartless bitch or inconsistent intriguer for making a deal with Richard instead #it also feels like a waste because there's a lot that can be analyzed about queenship and R3's usurpation if this is ever explored properly #anyway - it's kinda sad that even after Henry won and her daughter became queen EW didn't really get a break #her family kept dying one by one and the Woodville name was extinguished. and she lived to see it #it's kinda heartbreaking - it was such a dramatic rise and such a slow haunting fall #makes for a great story tho

for someone who allegedly doesn’t believe in past lives I can tell you a lot about my past life. picture: I am a young fifer for the british army during the american war of independence. I have no connections and no prospects, just a talent for music and a zeal for my country, and my fellow infantrymen regard me with a strange mix of pity and fondness for my quiet but hardworking demeanor. I die prematurely and unceremoniously by way of rebel musket ball

#I know it’s stupid but also I am intensely fond of this nonexistent character #just don’t let me wax poetic about him #where else can I post about this and still be regarded as sane other than tumblr #I’m having like. thoughts about this a lot #I dunno! I just like the idea #amrev #this is your captain speaking #awi

There is something striking about how similar Joker Out's current career trajectory is to Adam Lambert's regarding Finland. Also something reassuring about that fact.

#adam lambert #joker out #the original son in law #but like he still has a special audience here and still regards it with such fondness #and his music always does well here.

Can you tell Dave that I love him

“Freckles are where a soulmate kissed you in a past life”

The darker your freckles, the longer you’ve been in contact with your soulmate throughout history.

Felix’s freckles are dark and saturated. In every lifetime, no matter the odds, Felix always finds his soulmate. And in every lifetime, his soulmate peppers his face in kisses. A promise, a vow, that he will find him again in the next lifetime. Those kisses honoring the many lives lived before the current.

Chan though Our moon coded boy His freckles are faint, and only come out in the sunlight.

There’s two reasons for faint freckles 1. Your soul is new; you haven’t had a lot of time with your soulmate yet. 2. You’ve been separated from your soulmate for an extended amount of time,

For Chan, he’s the second option. Although his soulmate exists in every lifetime, they always pass each other; just like the sun and moon. In one lifetime, his soulmate died young. In another, his soulmate lived oceans away, and the technology wasn’t there yet to have any chance of connecting them. In another, his soulmate was in love with another; right person wrong time.

Once in a while the heavens take pity on them, and will give their souls a chance to connect. It’s not often; lifetimes will go by before they meet again, just like a solar eclipse. In the lifetimes their souls do meet, it’s like a feeling of home. His soulmate kisses him as much as he can, showering him in all the love he can before the clock runs out. Who knows when they’ll reunite again. His freckles only come out in the sun; a reminder that he’s loved and his soulmate is out there loving him, even if they can’t connect in this lifetime

#stray kids #bang chan #felix lee #hello friends please take this mini drabble thing regarding soulmates and freckles bc im v fond of them

@degenerate-gremlin-blog​ replied to your post. 

What's a bitty?

oh boy. SO- allow me to indulge you in a small fragment of fandom history ( i guess )

WELCOME TO THE UNDERTALE FANDOM OF 2015-16; if you were at all involved with the popular fandom AU blogs / circles of the time & you had a favorite character IN these fandom spaces ( lots of sans & papyruses as the top figureheads from what all i could see ), you could technically “ adopt “ them through the form of a “ bitty! “

“ a BITTY! “ you eagerly declare, albeit very confused, “ now, what is a ‘ bitty? ‘ “

from what i can remember based on experience -- don’t quote me on this as it’s OFFICIAL definition, but a bitty was like... a smaller, tinier, slightly dumber “ pet “ version of whatever character you liked & wanted to “ adopt “ from; just a little Thing you could take care of & interact with, & have interact with your home, life, work, other pets, or even other bitties you could adopt of other characters--  THIS all in a fictional, roleplay fashion, of course. it was one mass roleplay. but, a dedicated fictional, roleplaying fashion nonetheless! a lot of times, bitties included little references & lists from the sources of the original character or the bitty adjacent creator ( often times the same person ), instructing their potential “ owners “ how best to take care of them, what requirements are needed, a bitty character’s likes & dislikes, etc.

& you’d see people drawing their little adopted blorbos ( not yet named blorbos at the time ) roaming around their houses, playing or getting the shit beat out of them by other bitties, & everyone & their mom played around with the idea of these little character pets, describing how they lived their lives alongside their bitties & such. i remember creators getting bomBARDED with “ updates “ of the life & times of these little bitties, or requests to adopt one EVERY SINGLE DAY if you were popular enough for everyone to want a fractal of your character to play around with themselves,

IT WAS... interesting. an interesting concept during an interesting time. & still, i have no idea if this leaked out into other fandoms or- hell, even other CHARACTERS in the mass undertale au universe. probably & i just wasn’t paying attention. i missed out on a nice little chara bitty :( /silly

TDLR ;; “ bitties “ were/are like a pet version of your favorite character that you cared for in a pretend / roleplay fashion; a concept that originated(?) / is primarily prominent in the undertale fandom

& any & all that i adopted back in my time would be LONG dead by now. as well they should be.

#degenerate-gremlin-blog #twinkie talks #UT posting #posting this very very LOUDLY to flex my fandom knowledge /derogatory #NO BUT I MEAN it was a simple enough concept but #people got weird about it REALLY fast #especially since the nastier fucks in the fandom were in on this too #the worst the BASE concept got was maybe just. woobification / infantilization of the bitty / canon character but then you have the inc*st #* loving freaks that dipped their toes in too #good lord #SORRY I saw mostly the bad side of the fandom & don't have a ton of fond memories #BUT i come through the flames baring knowledge nonetheless #i wonder if history will repeat itself in this regard...... hmm........... #ALSO HI I JUST GOT UP FROM A NAP & STARTED TYPING THIS

Me: idk how I'm going to get into the next chapter of Hungry for love

[starts to plan for rewatch of ep9 followed by rereading the page of metas etc linked in my doc]

Also me: wakes up at 3am with a fully formed paragraph that immediately expanded out into a devastating (I hope) intro

#I had a realization the other day that had me like *aw bitchcakes* #Ep 9/10 Stede is kind of at his most 'absolute dipshit' #Which I have been anxious about this whole time #But I think I may have cracked it #Is it sympathetic?

I fucking love werewolves they’re sooo versatile. they can be serious or silly or even sexy. they can be a metaphor for literally anything. creature of all time methinks <3

#regarding metaphors I’m particularly fond of them being used as one for disability but as previously iterated literally Anything goes #they’re about ​queerness. anger. generational trauma. Otherness. transformation/change. (loss of) control. repression. fearing yourself. #the lines between humanity & monstrosity (and blurring thereof). just really fucking wanting to bite someone. etc etc etc #elli rambles #lycanthropy
