Can someone who keeps up with the black butler manga let me know what’s going on right now??? I’m mostly curious about the whole real ciel and fake ciel thing. I read the wiki and it looks like real ciel is trying to frame fake ciel for murder but like why?? i thought they were close? like what’s the end goal ? also what is fake ciel’s real name ???? the questions are endless and i’m open to any detail or theory about anything 🥹

oh, you want to replace nyck de vries with daniel ricciardo after the summer break to see how daniel compares to yuki? why stop there? the indycar season ends in time to throw alex palou into that car for singapore. but if you really want to be thorough, super formula ends in october, so liam lawson should be free to drive the last three races! make it the sisterhood of the travelling alpha tauri car. whoever does best gets to keep it for next year (before inevitably getting fired mid season again)

'Not even Hell will stop the Wrath of a retired Angel'
My hc is that Hell decided to yoink themselves one (1) retired demon to extract information or enact whatever revenge they seem fit for the whole bathtub debacle. What they hadn't account for was that a certain Angel, who is know to be quite territorial about the things he loves, would do anything to find their husband after weeks of missed calls.
Well, once he does which might have included summoning and trapping a very frightened and confused demon and pressing them very politely for information (after Heaven was useless as always), he comes up with a plan.
One might say Aziraphale was quite disgruntled, positively seething, maybe even willing to give smiting a try after finding out demons had abducted their partner.
So, filled with the wrath of God and being judt enough of a bastard to be worth knowing he decided the best course of actions is, of course, passive agressive diplomacy. I mean the demons don't know that he isn't actually immune to Hellfire and noone would be stupid enough to try the main entrance, so noone would actually expect an Angel to just waltz into the place like they own it.
Those demons certainly aren't immune to an Angel's Divine Intervention (of the lethal variety) and Aziraphale be damned if he didn't at least try and get their partner out of this in the most idiotically genius way.

I WATCHED THE NEW SAMS EPISODE-
FUCK, BLOODMOON IS GIVEN THE MERE ILLUSION OF A CHOICE-
BUT THERE IS NONE, FOR THEY WERE PROGRAMMED TO ALWAYS FOLLOW ON A LEASH-
AND IN THIS SITUATION, IT IS EITHER LISTENING OR DYING AND LOSING EACH OTHER ALL OVER AGAIN-
And then there's Eclipse-
OH GOD, ECLIPSE-
He is so confused!
He keeps asking for Vegeta's purpose, and his feelings for being a mere blueprint, yet Vegeta doesn't care.
He knows, but he won't let that defy him, and Eclipse can't understand-
He himself is a mere copy of the original.
"Eclipse" is dead, he was blown to smithereens.
He is not Eclipse.
He is a mere copy, and even then he's imperfect.
And he cannot live with this, cannot accept reality.
It's breaking my damn heart!
He is also softer though?
Yes, he was trying to bring Vegeta down, but he felt a lot more…passive, I'd say.
Hell, he even refused to harm him!
Even after he was challenged!
-Stardust
RIGHTTTT!!!!!! YESYESYES WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH BLOODMOON AGAIN IS MESSING ME UP SO BAD LIKE AUGH. These poor boys do not get a BREAK. THEY STILL DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER AAAUAGGHHHH
AND ECLIPSE GHOD YEAH. Eclipse being baffled at Vageta's just total content with being What He Is just has me enraptured tbh. He is so in his head about his copied existence that the idea of someone being a walking test subject just,,, completely throws him off. WHICH IS HONESTLY MIGHT HAVE BEEN WHY HE TRIED TO UPSET LUNAR W/ SAYING THEY WERE A FAILED SCIENCE PROJECT, YK? Bc to Eclipse, that would be wildly upsetting, but no one else really cares that much. Yk??
AND HE DID SEEM A BIT MORE CHILL YEA. More tolerable? Not exactly patient but somewhere in that realm. There is things happening with this guy and I love him ^_^

frogive me if I am but a fool, but dost Thorns and Thrones exist as a fanfic, or a series of art, or both
Fear not, dearest Anon, thou art naught a fool, for thine own question is unequivocally valid!
Thorns and thrones resides as a story mostly told through art and various asks I have answered on this blog. I do my best to show the story rather than proclaim it, for truly, I am but a great and lowly chicken when it comes to taking up the quill and ink mine self
BUT! people have made many a fan pieces of work for the AU
Make haste! for each and every one has made masses weep tears of joy and merrious laughter. I beg of thee!
Witness the works of many a talented creators!

I can’t articulate it, but it gets to me that, outside of Spock and I think Tuvok, being logical and regulating emotions isn’t something that Vulcans are shown to just endure, the same way they endure lower temperatures for other species, or higher oxygen for other species, or anything else that has to be incredibly uncomfortable at best to painful at worst that they just endure
The vibe I get from it is that a majority of Vulcans enjoy it, they like being logical, maybe they didn’t get a choice in being logical as kids, but unlike the select few like Sybok, they don’t seem to be resentful that they were raised like that at all
This isn’t just something they’re all forced to do now to prevent their emotions from causing their species’ end, dedicating themselves to logic brought them inner peace

Does anyone else feel like almost all of the conflicts that had to do with the various character dynamics in Chain of Thorns didn’t actually get resolved, they just unexplainably ceased to exist after two books of building them up because CC didn’t feel like writing them anymore and she didn’t know how to resolve it naturally after how she’d built the issues up so much?
Like how none of the characters but Cordelia and Thomas had any clue about the Alastair and Charles situation and then suddenly in CoT it was like who doesn’t know? Of course Matthew knew and didn’t say anything before and then randomly brought it up to Cordelia in Paris while assuming she knew too
Or how Alastair and Thomas went from how things were at the end of CoI with Alastair thinking it could never work because Thomas’s friends hate him to oh look everyone suddenly is friends with Alastair with no grudge with no development of that in this book at all, just an abrupt shift
Especially the Alastair and Matthew dynamic where Matthew hated Alastair and wanted him to have nothing to do with any of their friends and he spent CoI ranting about him to Cordelia. And then suddenly in CoT it’s like of course Matthew is supportive of Thomas and Alastair and oh look Matthew and Alastair are suddenly not just tolerating each other for Thomas’s sake but friends despite barely interacting and no development actually showing and never getting any mention of the other in their own POVs, just having Cordelia be like Alastair stop being dumb, you’re literally friends with him now
Or like everyone other than Christopher and Grace where it was like oh we don’t like her for how she’s treated us and her friends straight to anyway she’s one of us. Like yes Grace was useful and yes Tatiana manipulated her whole life, but none of that was why anyone changed their minds or opinions? It was just suddenly the flip of a switch when it was convenient for CC
Or Anna and Ariadne where it didn’t so much develop as Anna just acted mean to Ariadne on and off throughout the series and at the end of CoI she wanted nothing to do with a relationship and then in CoT she was just suddenly like sure I guess I do. Also, slightly different note, but I did not like that Anna barely interacted with anyone else for the entire book and she was just off in the corner being an irrelevant romantic subplot for almost all of the book except when she showed up to barely even be shown in the background being sad about her brother being dead
(Although Anna still got more of a reaction than everyone else and his death was poorly executed all around in the sense of how did you write this so predictably and poorly that no one even knows when he died and it’s so background and 99% of the characters don’t care at all and we don’t see his parents finding out or much of Thomas’s reaction or anything and it’s just as if he wasn’t a character anymore 2 seconds later which is a different genre of issue with CoT but similar problem in the sense that both issues made the book feel a lot more emotionless to read)
And how the issues of Thomas and Alastair being together as two men and Anna and Ariadne being together as two women in this time and the issues of what would happen if the fact that Charles and Alastair were gay got out to the entire Clave just disappeared and never got addressed at all. We know how the ClVe reacted to Alec Lightwood YEARS later. We know society was homophobic at the time TLH is set and that it seems like shadowhunter society was a lot less open-minded than mundanes a century later
I understand that Charles being blackmailed and making shitty decisions was annoying but it was like suddenly everyone finding out wouldn’t have consequences and all the other queer men characters were like how could you possibly be worried about this :/ as if they haven’t spent the whole series knowing they have to be careful about who they tell. And then suddenly it was just of course it’s totally fine and safe to have everyone find out and why wouldn’t you be fine with that. And it was really written in a way that had other queer characters like oh Charles is such a coward for not being ready to publicly tell a bunch of homophobic people his sexuality and it just wasn’t it??? And super weird after Thomas was terrified of telling even Anna and Matthew for years. And also, I did not care for the fact that when Charles did go risk getting outed to finally do the right thing, we didn’t even get to see it through any character’s perspective or how that important meeting went, we just got one line of dialogue from somebody else saying that it happened with no details at all. And I can’t think of other examples right now but there were quite a few moments like that where we got one line saying that something had happened that was important to the plot and to characters’ development that seemed like it would have been more interesting than some of what we did get to see where it was just totally breezed over and way too easy and totally background to less important stuff
And then there was the whole no one reacting to Ariadne and Anna dancing together publicly thing was like yeah that’s nice I guess but not realistic and it doesn’t go with the way things have been presented up to that point, it also just feels like a situation where CC was like well this would be easier for me so there just won’t be consequences and then they can easily end up happily together
And then there was the whole Thomas and Alastair thinking they couldn’t realistically be together thing and knowing they couldn’t get married or be known to be together by anyone they’re not close to and then at the end it’s still not really addressed how they’re going to be together? Like there was the laziest write off of the family tree being wrong and then we still are just left to assume that eventually they move in together and suddenly it’s not a problem and everyone’s fine with it? And then I also feel like we don’t actually know if everyone found out about Alastair and Charles’ sexualities after the blackmail or if people are going to assume about Thomas and Alastair or if that’ll cause issues or if no one knows outside of who they’ve told and they have to be careful or what. Which like wouldn’t necessarily need to be addressed if it wasn’t for the logistics of being together as two men in that time being part of the obstacle that they were struggling with being in their way and then it felt like it was totally forgotten to even be one at the end by CC
Idk like I’d love to think they just lived in a world where homophobia didn’t exist but it felt like homophobia was a plot point when CC wanted it to be an inconvenience and then suddenly disappeared just to make her writing easier the moment she didn’t want it there anymore instead of actually addressing the plots she raised with it if that makes sense?
And sorry, I really did not mean to go on a rant this long. And maybe everyone else had a very different reading experience than I did and other people don’t agree with some or all of this. I personally am just very confused about how the book was almost 800 pages long and it felt like so much of the development in it was us abruptly being told that development had happened rather than actually getting to see it and how so many of the issues were abruptly solved in an I don’t want to write this issue anymore kind of way rather than anything actually needing to be worked at outside of the Belial situation
Edit: You know what, I mentioned it in my tags but I feel like it’s annoying enough to put in the body of the post and make it even longer. What the fuck was with everyone outing or potentially outing everyone else just so that characters could openly talk about the queer characters and tell them to do what they want them to? Why did Matthew out his brother multiple times? Like yes, the people he said it to coincidentally already knew, but he didn’t know that. And why was Thomas outing Alastair? The straights got to keep their secrets as long as they wanted and fix their problems more naturally. Why did I have to sit through queer characters constantly having their sexualities and romantic histories to everyone else when they clearly had not okayed it? Why were the queer characters doing so much of the outing? Why were people who cared about them and knew what it felt like to be afraid of the wrong person finding out just broadcasting their sexualities to make it easier for CC to breeze past development to have their things get resolved fast? Why did no character have an issue with it at all?

loved miles' set and the orchestra but not even 505 together? My hopes were definitely to high for these 4 days haha and are now getting crushed (well I probably deserve it, realistically seen it was quite unlikely for them to play together. Still kinda sad)
the thing is - it wasn't that unlikely. obviously they weren't going to play niche tlsp songs or do something drastic (i legit saw some people on twt who fully believed they were gonna announce tlsp3 and like......girl bffr) but again no one was expecting them to do anything THAT major (or at least not when being rational about it)
still. it wasn't THAT unlikely of a thought for everyone to assume since miles was LITERALLY right there they'd do something. sntm lowkey felt a bit unlikely (but still not impossible yknow) but at the very least 505.........like. come on. they knew what the expectations were even from the majority of the crowd/casual fans. literally everyone was expecting them to do something with miles. and yet they didn't do shit because of course they didn't lmao
and i've heard some people saying they think it's more likely for them to build the hype until the very last show and do something with miles then, but...... idk. that doesn't make any sense to me. because the last show is, well, the last show, and it's supposed to be all about the band itself. the four of them. and yeah miles is the unofficial fifth member whatever (can we even say that anymore because it really feels like a joke at this point lmao) but still. on the last show the focus should be on them and them only, alex matt jamie and nick. or at least it's what would make the most sense - but then again none of their tour decisions make any sense they're just doing random shit at this point so who the f knows what they're gonna do
and don't get me wrong, i'd fucking love miles to join them at least once but the last show theories feel a lot like wishful thinking to me. idk idk
