hm. so the phrase "as above, so below" has a couple related meanings: a) what happens in the microcosm is a reflection of the macrocosm, b) what happens in a higher plane of existence also happens in the lower one, c) the microcosm is affected by the microcosm
all of this means pretty much the same thing: the below echoes the above
so, may i ask, what the Fuck is the bigger side to the so-below image? what is the above to Wally's dark below?

hmm good morning! all of these eyes emoji asks have got me doing a lot of npc work (yippee!!!) so one of my favorite early and also one of my silliest headcanons is andie and peter's relationship!
if you're not familiar with comics peter parker then one thing you need to know is that this man literally somehow actually has so much game like he's dated everyone and slept with twice that. so if we're throwing another female spider around his age into the mix well then..... let's just hope dan slott doesn't get his hands on her! but knowing what i know abt comics it's inevitable that they date. anyway andie and may are dear friends and coworkers at FEAST. and my may is an old jewish woman which means she is nudgey, always trying to feed andie, and always trying to set her up with her nephew who is a "nice jewish boy. he's studying to be a scientist" (there's also just lots of regular talking about peter.) peter and andie meet through may/FEAST before learning each others' identities. there's a little bit of an awkward "so is your aunt also trying to set you up with me or am i the only one hearing about this?" and an "uh yeah, uh. yeah. sorry about that!" and that's mostly that.
but it's may and it's comics so eventually for her sake and because they're both lonely they do very briefly have an i can't even call it a relationship they have a situationship that basically consists of them going on a date to appease may and then like pathetically trying to date while mutually being in (what they believe to be) unrequited love with other people. they're very chill and it ends quite normally because their lives are too weird for it not to and also mostly they were just lonely friends pretending it was something more. 👍

God I wanna... Say Something regarding fatphobia in media and the terms ppl use in describing characters who gain weight over time ("letting go" like bro shut the fuck up???) and how like, there's also nuance to the discussion (like, a character who starts out on the heavier side choosing to lose weight shouldn't be demonized either - as PLENTY of people want to lose weight for various reasons, and while you can point to a decent amount of it stemming from our fatphobic society, a lot of it is also just personal desire at the end of the day - but I also understand that if your ONLY fat character loses weight at the end and the other characters don't change either, then that's not good) but idk, I'm a little too tired to properly articulate what's going on in my mind? But I just... wish this was more of a discussion
#fatphobia#like - this is coming from someone who is overweight and is very visibly so#and yeah i do wanna lose weight simply because i dont like the way it distributes on me#but theres also the pressure of my mom who thinks its just wrong of me to be this weight and im like ??? pls stop#but I know for ME its more a personal desire#but i think my biggest issue is that like. bc we're at a state of representation where the bare minimum is never met#we're pushing for a monolithic representation of a far more diverse group#which. yes. i get it. ppl shouldnt be reduced to 'hi im fat bc i love food' and that be all rep#like no i 100% agree with that like a character shouldnt be striped down to solely be about being what marginalized group they are#but humans are so fucking nuanced that like. i DO want to see a character who does have a vibe of 'i like food!!' but have OTHER traits#like you have the skinny anime boy who has a million of other traits and cannot solely be defined by 'loves food'#but you also see them literally DROOLING over food and ordering a shit ton of food and somehow eating it all and like#and like the fact that here im specifically talking about Luke Yugioh Sevens who i would ACTUALLY describe as a kid who has like#ZERO awareness of the world outside of himself but does have a strong sense of self worth and genuinely wants to be great#but is very much aware he has to EARN that and doesnt want to be handed it... makes you wonder why marginalized identities dont have nuance#like??? pls just... make ppl human. humans are messy. thats what MAKES us human#this kinda got away from me but yk what i mean im tired lol

These are some of the illustrations I made last year for Macguffin Co's system-neutral TTRPG microsetting, Fixer Upper, as part of a collection of micro-settings which you can get on their website or their itch.io! Its about some robots sent to terraform a planet, getting to know the local flora and fauna & making their own decisions about whether to follow through. The first was the cover illustration, the second was one of the spot illustrations, and the initial character designs bc idk i put alot of thought into them (except for defender-bot, which was divinely inspired and the muses astral projected into my body and drew it for me)

is it just me or does psg act like dont even care messi (and mbappe too) is on their club?? even the fans are kind of ignoring them it feels (also mbappe will be the next messi, i dont kind theres any doubt about this)
not caring about messi makes sense tbh: they want him for the revenue he brings and his brand, not his football; fans hate him bc they're racist + he gagged their country in the wc. as for mbappe being the next messi,,, 💀💀 if you're talking about the wasted potential thing then maaaaybe, but tbqh, still nowhere near messi bc he doesn't have as high a ceiling as prime messi did (if i say he doesn't have that much potential to waste i'll get shot by his tiktok supporters but it is what it is). for instance: messi carried an absolutely shambolic barça squad to the ucl semis all on his own, but mbappe doesn't have that kinda juice as we have seen time after time in pissg. if he'd gone to rma earlier, even if he dropped generational stinkers like he's been doing lately, he'd get carried like ronaldo did— but messi needs coaches that're a different typa gravy to unlock his magic. and this isn't a dig at leo: it's at the incompetency and mediocrity he's been submerged in for a majority of his post pep era career

. * ✧ ❤ — @celestiel said: ❛ a kiss goodbye? ❜ — auds
Tumblr media
the words shouldn’t,   but they startle him.   no,   the voice in his head tells him,   it feels wrong.   he tries to pry for more answers,   why doesn’t it feel right anymore ?   what changed ?   did that picnic after his first meeting really affect him so much ?   but she’s sitting there,   perched perfectly on the edge of her seat,   blinking as she waits expectantly for an answer in the form of his lips atop her head.   at the end of the day,   they were hardly the same people they were when their relationship had started and in the time since,   it felt as if they had taken two different paths on the route of change.   by the time their relationship ended,   ben wasn’t sure the person he had once been would recognize himself in the mirror.
ben frowns,   his thin smile present despite the guilt in his eyes,   as if it might soften the blow of his words,   ❛   not this time.   ❜   they weren’t together anymore,   they couldn’t be saying goodbye with long gazes and locked lips anymore.   maybe another time,   he wants to tell her,   to offer her some comfort in the pained expression that would surely follow.   but he doesn’t,   he’d made her enough promises he couldn’t fulfill.   maybe in another life,   they had the happily ever after they always dreamed of.   he liked to think so. 
Tumblr media
his lips part,   prepared to apologize,   but the words don’t fall out.   instead,   what comes out is,   ❛   will you be okay ?   ❜   he didn’t yet know how to classify his love for her,   where the lines between care and soulmates differed,   the stories of their parents never specified such things,   but he never wanted her to be miserable.   he just had wanted to find his own happiness too.

I've had this buzzing around in my head since Neil posted something about Asrarion liking kids and hhhhhhhhhhhh may I please request your headcanons for the bg3 guys as dads, I am begging you
gnawing on this actually thank u
Astarion
his child/ren are his entire world. his partner is still like no.2 but the kid/s will always be no.1
its an Ordeal for vampire spawn to have children, so i think that'd make Astarion even more likely to devote himself to being the best father he could be
is absolutely the type to be like "this is my partner and our child/ren, they're way to good to be talking to you but alas"
he's the soft parent too, Astarion finds it so hard to punish his child/ren. both from fear of going too far and due to how much he adores them
dress up with dad days. Astarion with small, messy pigtails.
Halsin
daddy Halsin for real -wiggles eyebrows- (im sorry)
the type to load everyone up and go camping for however long, teaching the kid/s how to live off the land or showing off his wildshapes to entertain them
unwavering support for his child/ren (and his partner) - he tries his best to instill a sense of justice in his kid/s and respects any decision they make, assuming they can offer him a good reason
Halsin and his kid/s would Absolutely play little "pranks" on his partner, but its very harmless, silly stuff to make them laugh
his kid/s often begs to sleep with "bear dad", and who would he be if he declined?
Wyll
i honestly think Wyll is meant to be a "girl dad" lmao but he'd adore any child
he'd grown up with a (mostly) good dad who'd taught him swordplay and other practical skills and I think Wyll would want to do the same for his child/ren
he is So. Patient. willing to hear his child out about why they broke the rules, why they're acting out. He knows that sometimes there's a good reason for what looks like a bad decision
Wyll is the bedtime parent; he tells stories the best, according to the kid/s. sometimes Wyll will drag his partner into helping him out fun scenes
makes sure to have dinner with his family everyday, regardless of what type of life he's leading. they're the Most important thing to him in the world
Gale
stay at home, soccer dad vibes
is (surprisingly?) content to let his partner go off and adventure or what have ye, while he stays home with the kid/s, sneaking in some reading or experiments once they're asleep
is All In for his kid/s extracurriculars. of course he'd be happier for more ~magical~ endeavors but even if the kid is learning sword-work or some other physical thing, he'll be there to cheer them on
maybe pushes his kid/s a little too hard in regards to studying/school. Gale works hard to reign in his expectations - he knew how hard it was on himself, why do that to his kids?
the way his kid/s will have the most ostentatious vocabulary. but they also think its funny to mimic him in an even more over-the-top way bc it makes Gale's partner laugh

just finished episode 6…. truly don’t know how to feel about these changes. would love to know your thoughts bc i’m just kinda baffled by some changes tbh
Mixed feelings as always:
Percy's dream slapped. I loved Kronos's actor. It felt perfectly eery. No notes.
No percabeth late night convo on the truck. This doesn't surprise me given we sort of did that on the train already, but now there's just another iconic book moment that we'll get bits and pieces of, but never actually get to see in its entirety/original setting.
I did vibe with the glass prism tool for the iris message and it was pretty cool. The Percy + Annabeth argument was great but I'm gonna be honest, Luke being like "you're arguing like an old married couple" was laying it on a tad thick to me idk idk. I know I'll probably be in the minority there lol but I think it would have liked the line better if Percy and Annabeth got more embarrassed to his statement but they both reacted to it like :/ so it just felt heavy handed on the show runners part more than anything
Lotus Hotel vibes? Lackluster. Uninspired. It just didn't capture that outrageous paradise for kids feeling from the book because they turned it into Hermes' hangout so there's a whole bunch more adults than kids. Basically felt like if you took the movie's version and turned down the energy of it by a mile lmao. (Which is also ironic given RR's post about it today).
And of course the kids immediately know what's happening so like. No fun mystery. No Percy figuring it out. Just them being like "omg we need to be careful" and then immediately separating from Grover lmao.
Okay. LMM's Hermes.... it wasn't bad. Thankfully there was no singing. He was fine. It's more or less that turning the Lotus story line into a Hermes' storyline was like an "okay, I guess we're doing this" thing. I mean I guess we finally introduced something for the non-book reader's to pick up on that Luke might not have the best relationship with his dad (and consequently the gods). But like, nothing about this storyline is something that isn't introduced later on in the books. Nor was it better or more interesting than the original lotus storyline in the books.
Again, its the constant replacement of everything fun and silly and absurd in the book and turning it into a very serious moment, is just like, killing the energy. Seriousness is good. Silliness is also good. The book balanced it greatly. The show struggles here.
Glad we got a Pan mention tho!! Finally!
But um 4 pearls, so no dilemma about who to save. A part of me is relieved because the show's created like 3 other sacrifice convo scenarios so its gotten bit reductive, but Sally being a part of the equation is an entirely different dynamic and now that dilemma is theoretically gone. (unless he loses one of the pearls?)
And Percy's missed the deadline?? Right?? So like? I really don't know what we're doing anymore. In the book the deadline was pretty strict lol. Here I guess the deadline was like, a loose suggestion? Percy's walking into the middle of the god's battle field with master bolt in his hand? Idk.
Overall things in the show feel messy and way less cohesive. They seem to know that certain things from the book are important but not necessarily why, or they'll introduce events or plot points strangely late or way too early.

Since I got Tumblr and have free range to rant however I want, its time for the Assassin's Creed main characters and how they walk post!!!
With each of the games, they change the main characters walking animation to fit their vibe and I need to be able to study them beheehe
Desmond
Tumblr media
I don't have too much to say about Desmond's other than his is simple and similar to Ezio's and Altaïr's and I like to think that this is due to the bleeding effect(it happened to me too I walk like the assassin's all the time) his is a little more confined and he keeps his arms closer to himself so he's very typical in the way he walks
Altaïr
Tumblr media
In his walk he has a sway to his hips and steady hands(probably to keep himself ready for any assassination), but goddamn the SWAY I never noticed it.
His shoulders also sway with his walk and I love how fluid he is in general, this ties back to his robes for me and how flowy they are to show the grace of an assassin in high profile but when low profile they stay to his sides and he's all in the shadows and I REALLY love that about him.
Ezio
Tumblr media
This gif is all I could find so i can't really remember if Ezio's walk is different in Ac2 from Altaïr's because ubisoft is the king of recycling things but whatever. He still has the outward stance but I do notice his head is pointed low to try and keep himself hidden(shadows shit be like) but ofc hes holding the apple here so it's hard to tell if he's trying to swing his arm a lot lol, anyway body language is important to Ezio so hes very good at looking broody as well as fluid in his movements
Connor
(Walk Cycle Research | PKlover4078)
Tumblr media
My man my man my man my man😍‼️‼️
The way Connor walks with his hands stretched out and then clenching his fists every moment because he's always ready for a fight goddamn this MF could take me in an alleyway and I'd be happy. I'd like to note with this gif, it doesn't show his slow slow walk and I remember it pretty well, he has a slight cautious aura in his walk, he's really careful in his foot placement(I think) and he's super awesome and I love him a lot. Since we have him running I'd like to talk about that too. He has such an efficient sprint it's so mesmerizing, he keeps his head low and just fuckin vrooms across the colonies<3
Aveline
Tumblr media
You can barely see her here bc the damn community doesn't care for Aveline much but I like her even tho I haven't played Liberation, I enjoy the way she walks in a proper manner and she's got that strut the runway strut is everything. I also like how she has a wider swing in her arms, more carefree and comfortable.
Edward
Tumblr media
This is such a great quality gif thanks so much Ac fandom!!
Anyway, I really love the difference in Edwards walk compared to the rest of the assassins because he's a pirate, he hasn't had the teaching of grace and secrecy. Therefore his walk is staggering in his footwork but still proper bc he's a sword fighter and very good at it. In a longer gif you'd be able to tell but his footing is a little messy, showing that drunken sailor pirate personality shows in his walk. He has a close arm swing due to him always needing to be close to his weapons, ready for a fight(like his grandson<3)
Haytham
Tumblr media
I can barely see how he's walking but I'm pretty sure he had his hand on his sword hilt which says so much abt his character, again always being ready for a fight. He has a very straight posture due to his pompous nature, quick in his form to be efficient because why walk if you don't look proper and efficient?
Shay
Tumblr media
Ok he's a Templar and so is Haytham but fuck you I love them.
His walk is so GOOD his walk has a heavy step and he's very prominent, got that straight posture again, not much to say about his arm sway other than the added shoulder sway, love that for him bc he's just so intimidating.
(For reasons I'm not doing Arno, Evie, Jacob, Kassandra, and Eivor since I haven't played their games)
Bayek
Tumblr media
Bayek's walk is very different from every other assassin and that makes me love him so much more. He feels very carefree and relaxed but when in combat good lord does he go off!! He puts more sway in his arms than his hips and that's probably why he has a combat centered walk, like Edward.
If you've reached the end thank you for reading my rambling ass get over excited over walk cycle animations :) follow for more rambling!!

Giving The CoD Men Icks
But its only the ones I care about and it's based off of vibes (just for funsies!)
[Characters Included: Krueger, König,Gromsko, Nikto, Bale]
KRUEGER:
Messy eater, forgets to use a napkin because he's used to just eating under his mask
Overall just a very messy person, dirty clothes, etc. Stuff accumulates in his room
Highkey condescending?? Like if you were having trouble with a new weapon he would be like "you don't know how to use it?"
Anger issues, has not been to Anger management about it
Takes pictures like a Facebook dad. You know what I mean
KÖNIG:
Messy eating just runs in the family huh. He definitely chews hella loud and speaks with his mouth full
He's not funny, like his humor might pander to very few people so whenever he tells a joke the other KorTac ops just kinda go 😐👀 "okay buddy"
Anger issues, has been to Anger management
Mansplains, Unintentionally
Probably has gone a few days without brushing his teeth on multiple occasions
GROMSKO:
None, he is perfect
Millennial humour (derogatory)
Uses Facebook
"Yeah I'm 6'3, not a big deal tho (it is, please Date me)"
Mumbles like he knows the lyrics to a song
NIKTO:
Has said a slur before. Just look at him and tell me this mf hasn't bc he definitely has
Type of guy who makes fun of your interests even if he obviously knows you like it
Dirty nails, dawg does not clean his gear what makes you think he'll clean his hands
Does not use the right (you're, your), (to, too, two), (there, they're, their)
Watched Breaking Bad and related to Walter White
BALE:
calls dogs "doggos" or "puppos"
If you're dating him he's gonna want you to call him some stupid corny shit like "bubbas" 💀
Favourite movie is The Matrix but not for the right reasons

FATUI CAT :D
I am here to deliver on my promise of cat!reader headcannons, under the cut cuz its long
Tw: none i think??? If there is then pls tell me
Relationships: Platonic harbingers / reader
—-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pierro
Scary
Just say away if you dont particularly like him
He probably wont mind, he’s too busy to care about a cat of all things.
But like if you do like him, i recommend snoozing in his lap.
He’s got a lot of paperwork to do so its unlikely that he moves around a lot.
Its giving villain in a turning chair menacingly stroking a cat while giving an order to a nervous henchmen to inconvenience the heroes. 
You could try yelling at him and only quieting down when he pets you or lets you onto is lap
But, depending on his mood, he might just kick you out of his office
Would assign some poor Fatui henchman to take care of you so you have a constant guardian even if the other harbingers arent there. 
Dottore
Again
Scary
If you, as a cat, show human-like intelligence dottore will certainly pick up on it
Personally, as someone who likes cats and science, I would hang out with him
But like bad vibes
The worst vibes imaginable from this man.
Dont touch the chemicals he has.
We dont know what it is but just to be safe, assume all of them are acid.
Columbina
I love her sm 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Gives the most satisfying scritches and sings the sweetest songs
She’s one of the most safest harbingers to nap around
She’d put clips and bows in your fur regardless of gender.
Spends like 5 hours singing and grooming you like she doesnt have work to do.
No one has the guts to interrupt her though.
Capitano
Even though he’s scary i have a hc he’s nicer than he looks.
He isnt around Zapolyarny palace very often bc he’s out doing military campaigns and what not
But when he is at the palace, its safe to hang out with him
He’d have no issue with you catching a ride on his shoulders.
I also like to think he has a pyro vision(if he has one) and so he’s warmer than most
Perfect for a cat in snezhnaya. 
I think he’s nicer than he looks and it would be funny for the tiny cat to run straight to the big scary harbinger for pets and cuddles.
Pulcinella 
Its grandpa time babey
He gives you only the highest quality cat food.
You spend the day with him and you leave with 5 extra pounds just from the amount of treats he gives you.
You dont even have to do tricks or anything he just rewards you for existing.
He’d give you a kitty version of the harbinger coats, sponsored by Pantalone. 
Scaramouche
Oh this is fun
You know how cats are just assholes sometimes and like do things specifically to piss you off
Yeah do that
Swipe at his hat tassles
Get on a cabinet and yell, mocking him for being so tiny
Rest assured that he will torment you in return
Like i love scaramouche so much, he’s my baby, id adopt him a million times over if i could
But i can only restrain the bastard instinct for so long
He told the fatui in charge of you to make sure you leave him alone and is so close to killing him when you inevitably waltz around the corner.
Sandrone
You’re not allowed in her workshop
No ifs ands or buts
Her robots are to delicate to risk getting knocked over by a cat
If you’re really insistent on watching her then she might allow you to watch from the door
But thats it
Outside of the workshop though, she wouldnt mind letting you in her lap while she is carried around by her robot. 
Just dont jump off without letting her know before hand
You might get crushed by the robot
If you manage to make her like you and look sad enough, she might make a robotic toy for you.
Maybe a robot cat friend or a mouse for you to chase.
It keeps you occupied and lets Sandrone make another robot, win-win!
Signora
She does seem a bit cold at first
Feels like the type to not like animals bc of how messy they are, etc.
But she will warm up to you quicker than say Pierro or Sandrone.
Another source of heat in this frigid country.
She sends one of those fire moths to go with you and it is very much appreciated.
Girls night with Her and Columbina hanging out and taking care of you ^-^
Pantalone
As mentioned in the original post, i think Pantalone likes cats
He’d spoil you so bad lmao
Doesnt matter if you’re mean or nice or apathetic
He has a corner in his office dedicated to you.
Its got a box of toys, the softest bed money can buy, the most elaborate cat tree imaginable like wtf man, one of them self cleaning litter boxes, a water fountain, and an automatic feeder.
The feeder is on a schedule but that doesnt really matter because Pantalone will give you treats anyways.
He even gives you your own allowance from the fatui treasury.
He gives you one of those cat collars with the little bell.
Arlecchino 
You could hint to her that you want to go to the orphanage.
Everytime someone mentions it, give a little chirp and stare at her intently.
She’ll probably get the idea and set aside a week or so for you go to the orphanage to play with the kids.
They’re all very gentle with you and like to call you a mini snow leopard.
Arlecchino thinks its kinda cute but she wont say it.
Tartaglia
The bastard instinct returns
I like to think that he isnt present when the other harbingers found cat!reader
Imagine he arrives heavily wounded and is confined to bed rest 
And like, when the doctor gives the go ahead for guests, cat!reader jumps onto the bed and starts purring up a storm
Cats purr to comfort others as well as to show happiness
Childe’s barely conscious but the fluffy thing is comfy and he cant move so might as well let it stay.
When he does wake up he’s more than a little surprised to find a cat in his bed
You have a collar so he assumes you already belong to someone, pets you and then lets you out of the room while he goes over to see what the other harbingers are doing.
Khdsgoiewjrlksjf might try making this a longer fic if i have the skills but anyways-
Very nice to you
A bit rough on the playing but hey, it helps hone your hunting skills
Not that you need to hunt, you get fed regularly and i doubt there’s much mice in Zapolyarny palace. 
—-------------------------------------------------------------------------
And thats all i got. If yall want, feel free to expand on the concept or send some asks for more specific interactions! This is the first time ive done anything like this so i hope its good enough.

helloo since we're on the topic: top historical fiction (or adjacent) ? can be any time period I just really love your taste in shows/games/etc and am always on the lookout for history inspired media !
thank you!!! im rly glad im like. inspiring other ppl to engage w things im insane abt hudofajsdfdassfsad. anyways. i will probably expand that list bc i literally forgot every single thing i ever read. also i havent watched that many movies so far
ancient times: i havent really watched a lot of movies/series set in ancient times so far :(
rome HBO (2005-2007) (tv series) - OF COURSE. i personally think its one of the best series ever made. they combine political, miliatry history with the lives of every day people in an incredible way. they never let you once engage with the series through modern lenses. according to my teacher (a historian, archeologist & self described 'romaphile') its incredibly historically accurate, mostly the clothing, set designs, characterization, military practices, etc. except for the things they straight up made up, of course.
i really enjoyed gladiator (2000), i think its a masterpiece.
prince of egypt (1998) i guess?
all the asterix movies of course, all the animated ones and most of the live actions. but i wouldnt really call it historical fiction
ok i havent actually finished watching it for now but sebastiane (1976) - an erotic, x rated, gay interpretation of the martyrdom of st sebastian. its in latin also.
wait i cant believe i forgor about assassin's creed odyssey - so far the only one ive played. its so fun and incredibly immersive visually. especially pour moi who cries into the pillow about how ill never experience the ancient world. also you can b a faggot which is always fun. i have things to say about their portrayal of same-sex sexuality and slavery in classical greece but i get why they did that considering its supposed to like. appeal to a lot of people, and a more "historically accurate" portrayal (for example of pederasty or how common slavery was etc.) would b v difficult for a lot of their target audience. alas.
medieval and early modern era:
the name of the rose (1986) - my medieval history teacher literally showed us bits of this movie to teach us about monasteries and monks fhdosiasdjasd.
the borgias (2011-2013) - incredibly messy, lots of political intrigue, and so so fun to watch. about the history of the borgia family. filled to the brim with drama.
the three musketeers (1993) - my favorite adaptation, also coincidentally the one i grew up on. casting tim curry as richelieu was genius. he slays so hard.
i also like bbc's the musketeers (2014-2016) - a neat little series. very fun and entertaining to watch.
outlaw king (2018) - like i dont think most ppl heard of this movie. its about robert the bruce's fight to reclaim the throne of scotland. starring chris pine
vikings (2013-2020) - its fun. i havent watched the entire series tho. dont expect anything resembling historical accuracy
the northman (2022) - you will see something resembling historical accuracy
mihai viteazul (michael the brave) (1971) - a fun movie. very much romanian propaganda tho.
1670 (2023-) - such a fun series!!! incredible cast, shows respect to the actual history and the lives of historical people. really cute and funny.
caravaggio (1986) - a biopic about caravaggio.
wait i also forgor about pentiment - an intriguing, immersive, and incredibly beautiful video game! it has a lot of 'the name of the rose' vibes, with it being a medieval murder mystery taking place in a monastery. its incredibly touching and made me cry, and in the last few years i very rarely cry. also im 99% sure its an indie game? go support the creators!
vaguely-medieval/early modern fantasy:
mirror mirror (2012) - a retelling of snow white. a very fun movie imo, with incredible costume design. julia roberts plays the evil queen and she SLAYS. armie hammer is unfortunately in that movie.
stardust (2007) - one of my fave movies growing up. more modern-inspired but still.
the green knight (2021) - controversial i know but i actually loved this movie! i liked it both as a standalone movie but moreso as a 21st century adaptation to sir gawain and the green knight.
galavant (2015-2016) - !!!!!!! one of the most series ever! they manage to tackle such difficult concepts and conversations with a hilarious wit. so fun to watch. i listen to a lot of the songs still, and rewatch every once in a while.
disenchantment (2018-2023) - very fun to watch, especially the first season.
i also really liked the novel uprooted by naomi novik. its a polish-inspired fantasy.
modern era:
killers of the flower moon (2023) - of course. a masterpiece
aferim! (2015) - a romanian movie set in 19th century wallachia, about two officers, a father and son, who were sent by a nobleman to retrieve an escaped enslaved romani man. a lot of the people in the comments were calling the movie humorous and funny, maybe im missing smth (as im watching with subtitles n dont understand the original language) but it was a very difficult watch for me??
the handmaiden (2016) - need i say more
black sails (2014-2017) - a prequel to the famous novel 'treasure island'. not an easy series to watch. incredibly good.
the favourite (2018) - need i say more pt 2
the rabbi's cat (le chat du rabbin) (2011) - animated movie set in early 20th century algeria. a rabbi's cat learns to talk overnight.
the nice guys (2016) - a fun murder mystery set in the 1970s
o brother, where art thou (2000) - a retelling of the odyssey set in the southern us in the 1930s
victor/victoria (1982) - set in early 20th century paris. julie andrews pretends to be a man and takes on a job as a drag queen. extremely fun, extremely gay movie.
lady chatterley's lover (2022) - very much porn for moms but it was a nice watch imo
amulet (2020) - set in like. idk. sometime in the 20th century. this is a horror movie, deals a lot with misogyny, sa, and so on. i really like it, personally. a lot of people, mostly weird men, dont tho.
the great (2020-2023) - i have mixed feelings about this show. on the one hand, its really fun to watch. on the other hand, its basically ofmd for girls who have public mental breakdowns whenever someone claims corsets were oppressive. and theyre so weird about russians, jesus christ.
disses:
domina (2021-) - i just couldnt get into it, esp since i tried right after finishing rome hbo. it was kind of silly, and not in a good way. takes itself wayyyy to seriously.
i didnt like spartacus (2010-2013) - the dialogue was almost grotesque and the editing, especially the transitions, straight up killed me
damsel (2024) - holy fuck what a trainwreck of a movie. absolute waste of angela basset and robin wright. the only good thing were the costumes.
lancelot du lac (1974) - i just didnt like it at all. couldnt get into it. i guess it was way too french and artsy fartsy for me. a movie that was trying to say both too little and too much at the same time.
i didnt rly like bram stoker's dracula (1992) - i mean. it was a fine movie. it was definitely not the godfather. the movie itself was meh. the visuals tho? absolutely stunning

Screw it
Welcome Home Age Regression HCs
Wally 🍎
Usually from 1-3, can regress older
Can be voluntary or involuntary
Can be a bit of a brat sometimes? Especially if you seem to break his routine, that makes him pretty upset
Otherwise he’s just a super sweet baby
Autistic age regression let’s gooooo
He’s always seen with his childhood blankie, you can’t pull them apart
Like seriously
Don’t even attempt to break them apart, he’ll just throw a fit and start crying
He also LOVES apple slices and apples in general, it’s his same food
The best kinda baby for a playdate!! He’ll play house with ya, princess dressup, he’ll read books with you, he’s just a playful lil guy
Pretty much anyone can be his cg, but they’re usually either Barnaby, Julie, Howdy, or Poppy
He called Barnaby “pubby” once and it drove the dog to tears, he can never recover
I also hc him to be a cat regressor? He’s got those eyes and likes to bat things off of counters and stays up to ungodly hours
Lil weird ass meow meow
Barnaby 🐾
Primarily a pet regressor, it’s way too easy to figure out
Unusually easy to slip as well
Wally starts playing with him and he’s just immediately into puppyspace
Was kinda scared of people finding out bc he thought they would be confused, but they’re super supportive!!
Frank: “It was obvious, you’re a dog of all things.”
His favorite toy to chew on is either Wally’s slippers or his stuffed mouse
When he’s not in puppy regression, he can also (rarely) age regress to 5-10 yrs
The best big brother!!
If Wally and Barnaby regress together, he’s usually the one taking the reins and playing the “parent”
Occasionally he’ll snap out of regression if someone else is regressing while he is, just so he can help take care of them
He’s got older brother cg vibes, I swear
Julie 🌸
Surprisingly quiet when it comes to regression, but does it religiously
Usually down to toddler age, around 2-5 yrs
Has a MOUNTAIN of plushies, she practically sleeps in a big pile of them
There’s at least 7 separate hello kitty ones
She’s a big fan of cats in general, she’ll pretend that she has a pet kitty and use one of her plushies
Their name is Violet Twinkletoes :>>
Loves to do lil playdates with Frank and Wally, regressed or not
Tea parties ALL the time, it’s required
Loves to play big sister when others are regressed
Similarly to Barnaby, she’ll break out of regression if she notices others starting to go small, just so she can take care of them
She loves giving and getting lullabies
Pretty hard to get to sleep, she’ll probably just start jumping up and down on her bed before she tires herself out
Sally ☀️
Terrible twos, 2-4 yrs old
Princess regressor to a capital T
Super bossy, loud, loves to wear pretty dresses, just an all-around theater baby
Loves watching musical recordings, her favorite is Cats
“TOUUUUUCH MEEEEEE ITS SO EEEEAAAASSSY TO LEEEEEAVE MEEEEEEEEEEE”
Surprisingly easy to get to bed, she knows she needs the energy tomorrow for games so she just clocks out
Just don’t take away her tv, she can’t live without it
Her favorite show would definitely be My Little Pony, she loves the colors and the characters and how pretty everything is
She has a bunch of My Little Pony figurines in her drawers and on the floor
Very messy toddler too, but she’s willing to clean up when she needs to
It takes her a bit to notice if someone is feeling bad, but when she does she’s their BIGGEST support
Frank 🦋
The smartest baby, but also the grumpiest
Only regresses to deal with stress and anxiety, rarely regresses out of happiness
0-2 yrs, he’s so darn tiny!!
He loves being held, it’s usually his first request when he goes small
He also LIVES for bedtime stories, he always asks for one before bed
Sometimes he’ll sit on your lap and just start spouting facts about insects and butterflies, all with a slight lisp and everything
Knows a bunch of big boy words, but has trouble pronouncing it so he needs your help
Eddie it’s obv his main cg, but he’s also got Julie, Howdy, and Poppy
And Barnaby if he’s tiny enough
Doesn’t have many plushies but he does have a stuffed beetle named Skipper, he’s his best friend
Arguably the most talkative out of all the regressors, he’s always chatting
Eddie 💌
The most prominent flip of the neighborhood
He can go from baby to dad in an instant, he’s that quick to go big again
Has a pretty wide range of age when it comes to regressing, but usually stays in 1-4 yrs
Completely mute when he’s small, he’s either suckin on his paci or his thumb the entire time
Follows his cg like a baby duckling while little, sometimes holding their hand
It’s actually pretty easy to tell when he needs to go small; not talking as much, constantly following someone, probably fumbling with his hands, a lot more shy too
Frank takes care of him ofc, he’s the best dad
Frank would fuss over him a LOT, constantly checking for bruises and stuff, making sure he’s not sick
And he’s just sitting there like 👶
Eddie’s scared of the dark :((
It’s really easy to forget tho; he’ll say just about nothing the whole day, then you tuck him into bed and when you’re leaving you just hear him start crying and being all “hellpppp, don’t goooooo”
He’s stacked with night lights tho
He likes to put a plushy in front of the door, the closet, and underneath his bed so no monsters get him
I like to think that Frank is surprisingly strong for how lanky he is so he can carry is baby husband with little to no struggle
Eddie loves it
Howdy 🐛
Primarily a caregiver!!
Honestly would be such a good dad figure, he’s got four arms to carry four kids!
Would give silly lil nicknames for all the kiddos on the block; buddy, lil man, lil miss, sweetie, pumpkin, etc.
May not be the brightest caregiver but boy is he the sweetest
Would probably accidentally leave one of the kiddos on his back bc he’s got his hands full with the others, so they’re just hanging out behind him
The absolute best at pretend, he’s got stories and character roles all up his sleeves
Frank like to pretend that Howdy is turning into a butterfly, so he pretends he stays in a lil blanket cocoon and then emerges with these plastic butterfly wings on his back
It sends Frank into a frenzy every single time
If someone accidentally goes small at his Bugdega, he’ll drop everything and take them into the nearest bathroom so they can calm down and go small properly
He’ll also sneak a free treat in their pocket if they’re good, only if you’re good
Punishments are hard to give bc he’s pretty easily swayed, so he’ll probably just give you a slap on the wrist and scold you before sending you on your way
He loves his kids and he wants the best for them, he can’t stand to see them upset
Poppy 🐔
This one is the hardest to figure out bc there isn’t much to know about her, but I’ll do my best
TOP TIER MOM OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Also a default caregiver like Howdy, they are the ultimate parent duo
Always fussing over her kiddos, she’s got bandaids and Pepto Bismol in every corner of her house
She can be a bit stern when it comes to punishment, but she isn’t downright strict or mean
All she wants is for you to be careful
Her drawers are STACKED with toys, blankets, pacis, outfits, nappys, etc.
She always prepared when something is needed
She is the absolute best baker too; you’ll come to her house and it smells like freshly baked cookies
You can come into her kitchen to find a light snack, she’ll notice and make a whole meal
She’s also a lovely singer, so she’s perfect for lullabies
I like to imagine that if the kids are staying over at her house, they like to cuddle with her bc she’s a big ol bird
She’s got soft feathers!! She can’t help it!!
