i'm sorry. TAGGING SASKATCHEWAN CANADA AS KANSAS SOUTHERN GOTHIC AND APPALACHIA????

TAGGING SASKATCHEWAN CANADA AS KANSAS SOUTHERN GOTHIC AND APPALACHIA*

*i misremembered and the one tagged with appalachia&appalachian gothic isn't Explicitly saskatchewan (all of the pictures with location captions are apparently from saskatchewan so i'd be inclined to guess it probably is too, but there's no way to know for sure). so who knows!! i don't know what appalachia looks like! maybe it IS appalachia! in which case why is it also tagged saskatchewan

[Image ids: three cropped screenshots of 'regional gothic' style tumblr picture posts and their tags. The first picture is a truck at an empty intersection with a hazy yellow sky; the second is part of a building mural depicting a nature scene with canada geese captioned 'rural saskatchewan'; the third is of the edge of a town on a foggy day, with old, short buildings fading into the mist, captioned 'uranium city, sk'. Tags common across all three posts are: ethel cain, southern gothic, regional gothic, rural gothic, midwestern gothic, kansas, and midwest. Two of them are tagged with 'gibson girl'. Additionally, the truck picture is tagged with appalachia, appalachian gothic, twin peaks, and hayden anhedonia; the mural picture is tagged with small town usa, small town, small town america, small town canada, great plains, prairies, prairie, and prairiecore; and the foggy town is tagged with 'ghost town, liminal, liminal spaces, and foggy day.

End id.]

I also went back to the blog to see if those posts were still there so I could take better screenshots (they weren't; hooray reporting things for spam) but upon further scrolling I realized that every tagged post. Every. Single. Post. With Tags. all of them. Are tagged with southern gothic and kansas and saskatchewan. THESE ARE NOT THE SAME. WHY ARE YOU USING ALL OF THEM THESE ARE NOT THE SAME

*coughs* anyway. Among all of these, in all their spammy mistagged glory, there is one I would like to give a special shout out to, for in my opinion being the most wildly tagged:

[Image id: another screenshot of a tumblr picture post. This one is a picture of a small motel with a rundown fence in the foreground. A colour filter has been used to make the picture look washed out and fit the regional gothic vibes. This picture has been tagged with: gibson girl, americana, appalachian gothic, midwest gothic, preacher's daughter, regional gothic, rural gothic, southern gothic, hayden anhedonia, ethel cain, nebraska, kansas, motelcore, appalachia, southern aesthetic, saskatchewan, alberta.

end id.]

Take a moment to appreciate it. Bask in its questionable glory. Allow yourself the time to question why?

I think it's the 'alberta' tag that really makes it for me here. The 'nebraska' as well. The latter I assume is from the title of one of Ethel Cain's songs, which would explain... to some degree... how it got there. Why 'alberta' though? Why this picture, out of all of them? Is it actually from Alberta? (It could be; I've seen similar looking things) If it's from Alberta, why is it also tagged 'saskatchewan'? 'kansas'? 'appalachia'? 'southern gothic'? Do not each of these preclude all others? If it's Saskatchewan or Albertan, why is it tagged 'americana'?? Is it for views??? If you want it seen, it's already got the tags! Regional and rural gothic are fine! They'll probably get you a lot more views than tagging something with a Canadian province ever will! I just. I don't understand. why. why have you done this. please stop. i'm begging skfjjsjfjj

in conclusion: tumblr has tagging etiquette and i am begging the young aesthetic bloggers to take a moment to learn it. it will save you so much being reported for spam and having your posts and or possibly your entire blog taken down because of it. And now, if you'll excuse me, I have a blog to go report specifically because of this

#aesthetic post #regional gothic posts #tag spamming #look. look. i have no particular great love for canada in general #but you cannot. you Cannot. tag an image post saskatchewan AND appalchia. not in this context. they are Not The Same #one of them is a flat as fuck region of canada. one of them is a region of the use with one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world #you understand how these are different right #and sure tbc there is absolutely an element of 'that's MY distinct region that you're comparing to (insert other region here) going on with #this #do canada and the us have a lot of similarities both good and terrible? yeah definitely #but there are still significant cultural and geographical differences dammit!!! #you can't just fucking call saskatchewan appalachia! that's not how it works!! #anyway tho. i'm so tempted to tag this 'ethel cain' or 'southern gothic' just for the irony #but i will be brave. i will be so so brave. i will not. i will be polite #(though i imagine it will show up in at least the tag searches anyway since i've mentioned them in the main body :') my apologies) #tldr please tags your gothics correctly. don't tag saskatchewan with appalachia or southern gothic. be polite. #learn the etiquette lest ye be reported for spam to hell and back #caps warning #image described #silvered words #asks #adamshallperish #also yeah i'm just ignoring the ethel cain related tags for the moment. they shouldn't be there either but they're not focus here

Lilia wondered if you knew what it meant to be loved by a fae. Did you truly?

To be loved by a fae meant to be worshipped.

To be loved beyond eternity.

To have lasting memories that would never fade.

To be found in all lifetimes until the end of eternity.

Silver and Sebek knew, having grown with faes and learning their culture.

Silver, even as a human, had learned and readily accepted it but he grew with such knowledge.

Sebek had grown knowing such from his mother and grandfather, even his father knew what it meant to be loved by a fae and willingly accepted it.

Lilia watched as you dozed on Malleus’ lap, the prince stroking your hair with a loving gaze upon you.

You, who were loved and cherished by him and Malleus, two powerful faes who made nations tremble at their power.

Lilia knelt by your side, kissing your forehead. His own blessing mixing with Malleus’s, marking you theirs.

Lilia knew that in time you would realize what it meant to be loved by them, maybe you already had.

After all, you loved so gently yet passionately. You loved with your entire self. It was only proper for that love to be returned just as intensely.

He knew you would never come to danger, not with them protecting you: the Dragon and the General of Briar Valley.

You were also protected by the Knights of the Future King of Briar Valley, both of whom considered you family.

You were loved and cherished, and will continue to be so by all you have come to know and will know.

And of course, especially by them.

The prince and his Physician. A role-reversal au based on a dream I had that I wanted to draw something for. More ramblings under the cut

In this au, there is a kingdom of men where the briar valley once stood. Silver, the heir to this kingdom, has been the only member of the royal family for centuries, the result of a curse that causes him to die before he's old enough to ascend to the throne and reincarnate days after his passing. Silver's immortality was once a symbols for the kingdom's permanence, but the repeated death of their monarch every two decades or so has left the citizens with perpetual, generational sorrow with seemingly no solution as no one besides Silver was alive when the curse was placed.

A few centuries after Silver was born and it was believed the last full-blooded fae in briar valley had either abandoned the land or died, a draconian fae child is found in the brambles. This fae, given the name Malleus, was brought to the kingdom at the request if the prince and raised as part of the royal court with the express purpose of becoming the royal physician/chemist. It is believed that Silver's curse, as everlasting as it seems, was placed on him by a fae with extreme magical prowess and if anyone has a chance of breaking it, it's another fae. The kingdom believes that Malleus will be able to break the death curse and allow Silver to become their immortal king.

However, Silver has other plans for his chemist. From an early age, Silver requested that Malleus use his talents to find a different kind of solution to his curse that he can never tell anyone. He wants Malleus to find a way to stop his reincarnations entirely and let him unburden his people with the monarchy. Whether to fulfill the request of the kingdom he calls home, or the prince that took him in is in Malleus' hands.

im just gonna come right out and say it:

pretty much everyone in this fandom portrays Silver as this perfect, flawless, polite, beautiful, princely, romantic gentleman who can do absolutely no wrong in his life ever. which is… not really accurate at all.

he’s odd. he struggles with showing emotions and doesn’t understand social cues very well. his dorm uniform vignette is literally about how people find him strange and unapproachable due to his lack of expressiveness. in his lab coat vignette, Jamil straight up calls him weird to his face and he fully agrees without hesitation.

and in one of his voice lines, he calls Yuu strange just for wanting to hang out with him. stop and think about that for a second. he considers himself boring and doesn’t expect anyone would want to spend time with him. maybe he used to try and make friends, but people kept avoiding him, saying that he wasn’t fun to be around.

he’s not the handsome guy that everybody in the school falls for, he’s the quiet kid who doesn’t say much or has any friends outside of his own personal circle. and i think that has a lot of potential for angst.

#if u reply to my post with smth like ‘oh but he IS perfect and flawless and princely’ i will actually fucking block you #youre free to disagree with me ofc but please dont be annoying about it #read a vignette instead of an x reader i am begging you #i wrote this on zero sleep so if i seem annoyed or my wording is off thats why #twisted wonderland #disney twisted wonderland #twst silver #twst analysis #diasomnia #chemy’s concoctions 🧪

GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY, THE NEXT BOOK 7 UPDATE FOR THE JP SERVER IS SET FOR MARCH 1ST.

HOW WE FEELIN LADS!?!?!

AHHHHHHHH NOOO I'M NOT READY, I thought we'd be getting the fourth anniversary first and then Sebek's birthday and then maybe some more episode 7, I didn't -- I didn't think it'd be Friday --

oh god and they're rerunning the story cards, they didn't say this was the final part but it feels like...maybe the penultimate chapter? could the end of episode 7 finally be looming in the distance?! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO

Saw this tweet on Twitter and now I have to make it about them

Like, brother 1 based off Maleficent and brother 2 based off the sword that kills her it doesn't get any more toxic and doomed than that

#twst #malleus draconia #twst silver #twisted wonderland #i know that the story doesnt straight up look you in the face and word for word go “these are siblings” and malleus is still technically- #-under maleficia legally but tbh the fact that they cant actually become siblings and malleus cant actually become lilias son like silver- #-is just adds to the tragedy

frogs

You're walking in Caledon Forest one day when you see two specific sylvari on a walk together. One of them, perfectly serene, is happily pausing to wait every few steps while the other goes delightedly ricocheting off, regularly disappearing from view in one area only to suddenly reappear in a completely different area moments later.  Her returns to her companion are, to a one, sprinting full tilt at xyr before coming to an abrupt stop mere inches away so as to excitedly present xe whatever it is she's found. 

For xem part, you don't see xe flinch a single time; each return is met with the same affectionately solemn acceptance of whatever is being handed to xyr. 

As your own path brings you closer to them, the serene sylvari notices you watching them curiously; you suddenly have a sense of an idea of going closer, overlaid with inquisitiveness and… general amusement maybe? You're not entirely sure; it's decidedly not your thought. 

You come closer, and the inquisitiveness changes into a sense of greeting, like two people saying hello. You're not quite sure what's happening, but you do have manners, so you wave your own greeting at xe; the other sylvari has disappeared off again. 

Now xer sends you a sense of calm delight and amused mystery, and shows you xem clasped hands. "Oh?" you ask, and xe open xem hands to reveal–

Frogs. Multiple tiny frogs. Who, despite being frogs, and therefore working with significantly less in the expressions department, are still managing to look distinctly confused as to how they ended up in the hands of this random, perfectly calm and sedate sylvari. 

The riddle is solved, for you at least, when the other sylvari suddenly appears directly to your left, making you jump. She visibly vibrates with excitement as she presents her companion with, somehow, yet another frog. 

It looks just as confused as the others. 

The moment the frog is accepted into her companion's hands, still with the easy solemnity of each previously accepted offering, the sylvari is haring off again. You watch as her companion carefully maneuvers all but one frog onto a single hand, and then delicately holds the one on their other palm out towards you. In your mind's eye you see an image of the same frog, and with it comes that sense of inquisitiveness again, and an idea of taking it. 

You take the frog. "Thank you?" you say. 

Xyr smile brightly, eyes squinting nearly shut in satisfaction. Then, with a final nod to you and a sense of farewell, xyr turns away to continue xe walk. 

You look at the frog you are now holding. It looks about as confused as you feel.

do i go to the small hang out event (two of the people are midly irritating, it was planned Literally Monday, i'd have to leave the house, i'll feel bad if i don't,) or do i stay the fuck home and do gw2 raids with my guild (fun, also some annoying people but i can ignore/mute them, enjoyable, useful, haven't talked to one of the people for a bit,)

#i'll probably go just to be polite #i do want to see... at least one of them #the second is... mostly fine tbf; the third is Loud and i just don't super jive with her #but god i want to do raids..... #the person leading them hasn't been around in like a week #i want to Raid. i wish to Murder. i desire to do rewarding interesting content #sighs heavily #i should probs talk to the former about their scheduling #they all have jobs so it's..... Mostly fair enough that they can't provide much warning before a potential hang out day #but also i am autistic and detest sudden plan changes like that #i had Plans i was gonna do Errands that i Need To Get Done...... #instead (monday) 'hey i have thursday off so i can actually stay up wednesday night wanna hang out' #fucking augh #anyway #i guess we'll see if i wake up in time for either lmao i've been up all night #god i wanna raid...... #personal #silvered words

first of all, i COMPLETELY understand why the two reptiles and sleep beauty are terrified of him because if that's the same man that would put a bottle or a mug near my lips i wouldn't hesitate to even drink like a 60-year old man reading the morning newspaper.

like look at the first pic this way, him cradling baby silver when he found him. i would immediately stfu with my pathetic ass cries like i'm sorry i cried in your oxygen sir i will not do it again.

second, if his groovy also has the same smirk – if not as menacing – as his lab coat while beating up someone's ass i would become a pebble. like how did baby mal burn THAT man's bangs. HOW did his 3-hours old burn those bangs while he's staring down at him like THAT.

your majesty maleficia i think we need to TALK.

#twisted wonderland #twst #diasomnia #lilia vanrouge #did i just word vomit maybe #he's scary like damn okay noted sebek silver malleus i am on your side #if i were his classmate i'd see him as my mom but when i'm his subordinate??? call me soil
