how different the atla main group and the lok main group are is Still the funniest thing in the world to me. like, the gaang are real sweet best friends, would die for each other and kill for each other, probably, a sprinkle of found family, friendships CAN last more than one lifetime, etc. and then korra has dated literally all of her three best friends. everyone in that group wanted a piece of the avatar’s ass

It's almost Valentine's! I was able to finish the Henry VI and Margaret of Anjou piece for my Wars of the Roses series <3
Henry VI tends to be brushed off as a mentally-ill and ineffective monarch to this day, and it's difficult to find information that does not infantalize or malign him. Margaret of Anjou, my favorite figure from this period, would was a steadfast pillar of support for Henry until the day he died. A lot of historians paint Margaret as only supporting her husband to secure the throne for their son, but I find that narrative difficult to be the only reason. Margaret campaigned for Henry's release from captivity tirelessly and worked extremely hard to gather support for his reign and even raised armies for him. While their relationship doesn't have the passion and flare that Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville did, I think their kind of devotion is exemplary in royal diplomatic marriages from the period.

One of the funny things about The Locked Tomb is how Harrowhark is just wracked with unimaginable guilt as a teenager with over 200 children and one best friend being sacrificed all for the sake of her future, which she never asked for or wanted. Meanwhile, John Gaius did the same thing on an unimaginable scale, on purpose, decided it made him a god, and excused himself into a galactic scale of colonialism and genocide, and he works overtime to be the most chill, relatable ceo billionaire stereotype possible.
And then everyone is like oh John, you're such a silly baby girl, tell us again how to kill a planet with our minds, it's the greater good, we know, wink. But Harrowhark is merely pathetic and broken and a sad wet rat because a fraction of a percent of what John did on purpose was done to her, yet she refuses to excuse herself from responsibility.
It's why The Locked Tomb is a horror story, not the copious amounts of blood and body horror. It's because Harrowhark thinks John, a man who is only different from her in how little guilt he carries over Harrowhark's life scaled up a billion times in evil, is god.

Your bubble propoganda came in the form of putting him in a letter with cute decor, glitter, stickers, stamps, and cursive, and slipping him under my door.
I grieve the timeline where you never drew Carnival Bubble. I would be absolutely DEVASTATED if he never made it in the au... IM SO SORRY IVE COME TO LOVE HIM SO MUCH... CAINE WOULD N O T BE THE FUCKING SAME IN HIS WRITING WITH OUT HIM.
Wehehe 💖💖 I gave you an offer you couldn't refuse >:3
It always makes me happy seeing people in the comments going "BUBBLE IS SO CUTE!!" Everytime I see a drawing of Carnival Bubble I kick my feet and giggle and point and go "Ahaha! I did that!" It always brightens my day UwU
I have partly to thank my sibling who encouraged me to DIY my own Carnival Bubble after I was in shambles to see my favorite little guy missing from the line up
