It was Cassandra's first time off-base, but really, this was just another base. Less secret, sure. Still not exactly freedom. Her eyes scanned everything around her, a little frown knitting her eyebrows together. But what could have looked like innocent curiosity was in fact careful planning. This was it. Her first real shot at running away with Mina.

For now, though, she still had to play along. After 2 years of somewhat excellent behavior, they had loosened the leash. She couldn't ruin everything by being rash. So, she smiled at the man -tall, very tall- she had been paired with. "Hello," she said politely Well, coldly, really.

Ya-ha-ha! You found us!!

I kept forgetting to post these so now I will do so while I'm thinking of it. Here's Bast's (@purpledemoncat) and my Korok Girl outfits from Renaissance Faire last month!

I knit the ponchos, she made the masks (BAST post a picture of your mask I just realized you cannot really see it in these photos!), and we had a good time! I even got a little hip purse shaped like leaves, lol. It rained on us and we had to ditch our berries but it was still very fun.

My poncho is Tricandia by Beyenbergerin Design and Bast's is Spindleshanks by MMario, both on Ravelry and both very fun to make!

#crafts #knit #legend of zelda #breath of the wild #tears of the kingdom #korok #k photos #((this was the only point of the even when we weren't wearing face masks. i even found us ones in matching colors!!)) #if you look close you can see my korok earrings too hehe

#someone I knew from gaming passed away last year #we weren't close but it was still very heartbreaking #it made me think a lot about the connections I've lost since I quit playing this particular game #I did reach out to the person this comic was initially about #We talked a little bit but ultimately went back to living our own lives #Sometimes it's just gonna be like that #But it's still worth the effort #comics #gpoy #today is the anniversary #everyone misses you bud

We screech and we laugh and we make gifs. But have you considered how utterly excruciating it is to realise that the one person you trusted to have your back, doesn't? That in the end, for whatever reason, they did not choose you?

If they ever want to be together, an apology dance is so far from being enough it's heartbreaking. Somehow, they need to process their emotions. They need to re-establish a trust that's been broken. They need to convince one another that, given another choice, they would put Us first.

Stranger Things 4 | Chapter Eight: Papa

“But I’m not going to lie to you, Eleven. Your friends are in terrible danger. With each victim he takes, Henry is chiseling away at the barrier that exists between our two worlds. Imagine if you will that the barrier between our worlds is a concrete dam. Henry is putting cracks in this dam. Cracks in dams create pressure. Left unchecked, the pressure will build, and build. And eventually it will reach a breaking point. And the dam will burst. And when that happens… Hawkins will fall.”

If Phil has logged off, just what is it that will log in...?

#qsmp rambled #qsmp philza #For context of those not used to the twitter #At the end of every day it always reads “[creater] has logged off the QSMP for the night” #Or something very close to it #The lack of “the QSMP” and “for the night” is a deliberate choice on their part #But my comment is a silly #Obvs it's still Phil that logs back in and I don't expect major shake ups after #He already said what he'd do if the kids weren't back by Monday and I have no reason to doubt him over it #I mean it could be mumza with a steel chair but we know it won't be #It's going to be an emotionally compromised and grounded crow man trapped in a cage

i feel like most dc fans tend to automatically decry whatever content is "bad" in the sense that it's either harmful to their favorite character's development or cringe or something similar but why does no one ever decry content as "bad" in the sense that it's uninteresting.. tired of seeing the constant takes about dick being the bestest big brother ever to jason like it's genuinely so boring idk why they did it

#i feel like people think dick either has to be the horrible brother who never lived up to the role and never contacted jason #or the amazing brother who loved him so so much and defended him at every turn and it's like #why do we need either.. i don't think it's a crime if dick and jason weren't close like it doesn't say anything of dick to me #he's seven years older than jason and was already out of the house before jason entered it. why would he be obligated to have a relationshi #to be deleted

as a new fan of f1 i genuinely feel so privileged to be able to watch the friendship between lando and oscar form

#like everyone else was already close when i got into it. and then there's these two #and there was that awkward beginning where we weren't sure if they'd gel but now look at them! bringing out the best in each other #and depending on how long they stay teammates it's pretty sweet to say we were there since the start #f1 #formula 1 #landoscar #lando norris #oscar piastri #they just have such a cute friendship y'know?? they're my favourite duo on the grid aside from maxiel

i think what hits most about nobara's backstory is everything that's left unsaid and peaks from between the lines. it's the fact you can easily infer that something was wrong without ever having clear answers on what exactly was wrong. but if you can relate to the feeling of wanting to escape a place and the alienation from everyone around you, especially when you're brought up in small communities, then you can certainly understand, if not fully then partially, nobara herself and the struggles she might have had to face all by herself for a very long time; maybe even the importance fumi and saori had in her life and the pain from having to part from them; and, perhaps the selectiveness in letting people in that she later on develops as well.

#the way her story is told from fumi's point of view is quite interesting #nobara's backstory is like a silent whisper without a lot of obvious context and told from someone else's perspective #someone who until the end never really understood her fully despite their obvious close bond #someone who we weren't even aware was part of her life #and nobara's peak emotional moment and the last person she thinks as her life is in danger is her and the promise she didn't accomplish #a promise to reunite with the friends that shaped her and her life #ah. #i find her last line so... powerful? #she definitely struggled growing up and the only two people she kept in her heart from her life before jujutsu were people that #moved to where she lived. saori didn't even stay in that place for long. and then she moves somewhere new and she meets people #and a group that actually feels like home a community where she fits in and suddenly they kind of break through making place in her heart #just for everything to come to a halt. to turn to shit. for her to see that shatter away little by little. and in the end she's put in a #position where she knows she will not be able to hold on to what she cares for the most. that she will hurt people that truly cared for her #for not being able to go back to fumi and rekindle the friendship with saori and for being forced to be another punch in the guts for yuuji #and everyone else that up until that point were forced to go through losses already and traumatic events #and she decides to encourage yuuji to go on a good note and she truly believes the people she met made it worth it #even if it was for a brief moment in her life #i am not being coherent right now but it pains me :') #she deserved so much better #and i will hang on tightly to the line saying that she had a small chance of survival until the end #because she deserves it she deserves to live 😭 #i'm taking her from that stupid anime and putting her in a slice of life anime watch me #yuuji too. and everyone else. i'm taking the kaisen out of the jujutsu and you can't stop me #jjk spoilers #nobara kugisaki #jujutsu kaisen #jjk 💭 #my post

@mossyent goes on an awkward road trip 🚗

Cassandra wasn't usually uncomfortable around Reggie, she even enjoyed his company a lot. But the "events" that had unfolded in Seattle's undercity certainly made things a little bit more awkward, now. Not that she blamed him for it. She understood better than most how some things could just make people... snap. But it was difficult to act as if nothing had happened. She could still feel the barrel of his rifle, pressed against her forehead.

"So... How are you feeling?" she finally asked, partly to break the silence that had settled in the car, but also because she was genuinely worried about him. It was always a lot easier for Cassandra to worry about everyone else but herself.

"The newly widowed Elizabeth (Woodville) was exceptionally vulnerable. Several of the trustees responsible for her jointure refused to hand over the manors that were meant to sustain her in her widowhood. Moreover, her brother-in-law, Edward Grey, had seized estates that her son Thomas should have inherited from his paternal grandfather, while her mother-in-law’s new young husband, Sir John Bourchier, had prevailed on Lady Ferrers to settle her principal properties on them jointly for life, ensuring that Thomas would have to wait far longer for this inheritance too. Rivers and Scales were pardoned in July 1461 and swiftly moved into the Yorkist establishment, which perhaps explains the success of the chancery suits Elizabeth launched to regain her jointure. Her son’s inheritance proved harder to recover. By 1463, Rivers was often in (Edward IV's) company and on his council, but Elizabeth needed someone with much stronger influence over the King. She turned to a distant kinsman, William, Lord Hastings, the King’s chamberlain. Hastings drove a very hard bargain for his aid but it was probably amid these negotiations that the King’s desire for Elizabeth was kindled."

-J.L. Laynesmith, "Elizabeth Woodville: the Knight's Widow", "Later Plantagenet and Wars of the Roses Consorts: Power, Influence, and Dynasty"

#historicwomendaily #elizabeth woodville #Elizabeth really had terrible in-laws #And these people weren't even the worst of them - that particular award goes to Richard of Gloucester #As complicated as her first widowhood sounds it was a breeze compared to the literal nightmare she went through during her second. #Honestly though: part me wonders what Elizabeth's first marriage was like because we know absolutely nothing about it. #The marriage itself is a blank slate but the fact that her husband's parents & siblings were so indifferent and uncooperative #to her - and their own kid-grandchildren?? - after he died indicates that his family may have been rather dysfunctional imo? #Certainly they (or most of them) don't seem to have cared about the wellbeing or dignity of his young and newly widowed wife which #doesn't exactly suggest closeness or support during the marriage itself from their end. #Elizabeth doesn't mention John Gray in her deathbed will either though she mentions Edward IV. She may have thought it was #'inappropriate' to mention her first husband beside her significantly higher-ranked second husband...but she DOES mention her son by #her first marriage - which would have drawn attention to it anyway - alongside her royal daughter so that's unlikely to have been a reason. #Maybe it was simply the passage of time? She and John had been married for very few years and she lived such a different life after that #So it's possible that her first marriage simply seemed very distant and faraway to her. #Alternatively it may have simply been undivided affection for Edward IV (her husband of 19 years who she married for love) #which fits well into the relatively personal nature of her will. #Of course we don't actually know anything about any of this and this is all pure wild speculation on my end...but I'm curious. #It's really a shame how little we actually know about Elizabeth's life - made worse by the very limited primary records of Edward IV's #reign and the fact that his chamber records don't survive. And it's even more frustrating that this is so rarely actually acknowledged #by historians. I'd argue we know far more about the life & interests of most other 'prominent' women of the Wars of the Roses #(sans the Neville sisters) than we do about Elizabeth Woodville.

You ever get nicely into studying but then have to stop to take your recently broken glasses to the optician and when you get back there's suddenly this block stopping you from studying and suddenly it's 2.30 am and you only now open your notes and then it's 3.40 am and you have to go to sleep because your exam is in 5 hours and you are utterly fucked and you really should have studied during those 6 hours you've spent scrolling on phone? Did I mention the exam is for 5 credits. Yeah

#hahaaa god damn it where's the pressure that's supoosed to arrive the day before the exam #i am not *completely* fucked #it's organic chemistry I. and i already studied a lot of it for the test you need to pass to be allowed into exam #but #it's gonna be so fucking close #i need 60% so 12 points #i did the test my uni put on the internet that's supposed to be like the exam test #i had about 12.5 points hahaaa (there weren't correct answers posted but a classmate discussed a lot of it with a professor so we knew some #so if i get unlucky and get a harder test? #welp #pray for me lol #ema rambles

permit me to pose another question: what is more important, that bunny is murdered or that he is murdered by his friends?

#i apologise #the secret history #tsh #if we were villains #iwwv #bunny corcoran #i purged that intimate part because I Don't Know if it'd be appropriate to say in the Greek class' case #since i have a feeling it was bunny and henry that were close. and then they weren't. . . . #obviously since henry was willing to kill bunny. and so were the others. which is why i removed the intimate part #their reason to kill bunny wasn't justified in the slightest. but like charles said: how can you justify cold-blooded murder? #i mean bunny was a fucking dick but dawg he didn't deserve that #i feel bad for him
