Antonius of Reda has only ever known life in the army of the Kingdom of Edessa. When an injury brings his career to an early end and jeopardises his future, he receives an unusual proposition from Edessa’s notoriously eccentric king, Fabian the Third.

Fabian might be either a genius or a lunatic, but he is certainly unorthodox. And soon, Antonius’ career-ending injury will be the smallest of his problems.

For all interested: I've altered the original a little and uploaded it to AO3, so please check it out! I will be adding more whenever I have time, but updates might be slow as I've been really busy the past few months.

Is there like a single person on this list that's not American? 🤔

Okay, I gotta know, because I personally was stunned by how many I didn’t know. How many creators did you recognize on The Rolling Stone’s 25 Most Influential Creators of 2025?

Bottom this, top that, dom this, sub that - no, I need these men to be really awkward about being so much as touched by the person they love and trust.

First thing you see after you zoom in is how you die

How you dying 👀

The same goes for cookies! The cookies might not look ready yet but they are!!

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

Once again I am begging English speakers to learn their own language. The past form of "lie" (as in lie down) is not lied, but lay. I can't believe that I, a non-native speaker, have to correct that. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

STOP no more live-action remakes. We're going the other way now. Animated Casablanca. Animated The Godfather. Animated Oppenheimer. Animated Fight Club.

As much as I enjoyed the slightly more gradual buildup to the PresAux crew and Murderbot actually trusting each other in the show, I hope that when Season 2 drops they don’t keep the energy for ART.

ART and Murderbot’s friendship is built on them speedrunning the weirdest fucking relationship stages you can imagine. You can’t make their development slower. I need to see ART going “I know we’ve known each other for a week but you should let me perform surgery on you :)”

One of my favourite things is how unbelievably weird naming conventions can be.

I'm mostly familiar with Japanese naming conventions, but historically speaking, you occasionally meet imperial princes that are called "rice field village" (田村 Tamura) and "big sea person" (大海人 Ōama, where the fuck did you guys get your inspiration from), who receive a Chinese-style posthumous name that they never used during their life, and that's what they are generally referred as afterwards. Then you have people who are simply referred to by their rank rather than their title (who the fuck are you??), people who change their name like four times in their life because they get a new name bestowed upon them every once in a while, sometimes even a new clan name (who the fuck are you again??), people who have really similar names because certain groups tend to use the same characters over and over again to imply a familial relationship or a teacher-student relationship, then you have people using different names for their poetry, and different names for their art (which might also change during their life).

Meanwhile I've had several instances in Japan when people refused to handle my paperwork because the name I wrote down didn't match the name on my ID (I criminally left out my middle name). 🤪

I love going to bed. I lay down on the comfiest object I own (bed) and my only job for the next 8-10 hours is to be as cozy as possible

Chalk in milk, alum in bread, lead in cheese and many other products - if you let companies do it, they absolutely will start again with this shit.

Not to mention all the products that were advertised as "healthy" but were abso-fucken-lutely deadly. We need regulations, or we will be poisoned up to our gills.
