i know for a fact i have made this post before but for me it's very important that bbc merlin is a pointless tragedy. it wouldn't be good (it's frequently not good anyway but it would be a lot further away from good) if it wasn't a pointless tragedy! it's simply not arthuriana if it doesn't go past the high point of the heroic/legendary/high medieval romance stuff and end with detailed rundowns of exactly how everybody got betrayed and died like that is what makes it real arthuriana to me and not just a silly show about a wizard

i ask this in 100% good faith as some one who's just read over Trump's 2025 manifesto: what the fuck are we supposed to do
like i know the big call is to not vote for Biden or Trump and trust me I do not want to vote for Joe, but the manifesto is going after the rights of women, pregnant people, every type of person under the LGBTQ umbrella, POC, and in a political climate where Roe v. Wade was overturned i feel like it's completely possible that he'd be able to achieve at least some of that so
is there a 3rd party candidate I don't know about?? or what is the plan here bc tbh as a queer person and someone who was planning to be pregnant in the next year I'm scared as hell like are we really just not voting? It's 7 months out and I feel like no one is agreeing on what to do

Let's make one thing clear and that is that Kipperlilly Copperkettle would be a horrible teenager in every universe, but in her specific setting she was right. The universe does revolve around the Bad Kids, bc they are literally the protagonists. And she correctly identified a way to become important in that universe -- by becoming a villain. But Brennan did that totally by accident and therefore there's no engagement with that concept whatsoever

Starter call! Yep, you saw correctly. I've been making progress in my drafts, and I realized since it was mentioned the other day that I function a little better under pressure, so, yes.
These will be a little shorter (and I'm going to be a little strict with myself on that so that I actually get them written), so expect roughly a paragraph and if it stems from an idea that we've spoken about in plotting or whatnot, then it might be a little longer. But generally, they will be shorter starters that knowing me, will become lengthier threads as the replies progress! This is also welcome to non-Genshin blogs, but then please remember that I do not have any verses outside of Yelan's game canon, and so I'll be looking at your Genshin verses!

so the mechs totally speak a pidgin language of all their native languages right. we can agree on this right. their accents are a horrific mashup of all their original ones too, to the point where every single word they say sounds heavily accented to a native speaker of the language that word came from, even if its the mech that was originally a native speaker of that language. does this make sense at all?? they're just a linguistic mess i think they deserve it

idk with all the discourse about who's allowed to sing and who not, I feel like a lot of people forgot why humans sing in the first place, where singing comes from culturally...
Especially the Thai culture and fandom reminded me of that you do not have to be a perfect singer to have fun with each other. Singing is originally a fun or emotional activity to share vibes with your group, village, tell stories. (side note: the pagan folk genre is basically also a good witness of the past in that regard)
The whole Thai actor fan meeting and concert habit seems to be a very Thai culture thing just mixed with pop culture and capitalism.
Observing the Thai folks I see at my local yearly Thai festival, they are very similar. They still party hard even if the singer is not that good. They constantly go to the stage to slip the singers some money or gifts, request them to sing certain songs.

i know i said Haku is the most suspicious but that doesn't mean i don't have other suspects in my mind. anyway! here's my list of spy suspects → 1) Haku 2) Rui 3) Tohma
if you let me go even more wild with my ass-theories, i'd say even Kaito can be a spy candidates if the writers are into the whole "guy who spents more than half of the story being a cowardly underdog is actually super smart and works for the enemies" trope.
or Haru if they're into the "shady fox eyes" trope.
(※ don't take this seriously, they don't call me Detective Reaching #2 for nothing)

starter call !!!! under the read more is a list of all the characters i've been having lots of muse for, just because i feel bad receiving memes/replies for the others and taking long to get back, the vibes are just extremely low. all of them have their bios linked to their name so in case one catches your eye, you can get some info/read their verses. if you want a starter from one or more, just comment their name and who the starter is for in case you are also a multi! keep in mind i MIGHT write all the options you give me, because the more the better lol.
florence - vampire oc.
victoria - agent oc.
elizabeth - witch oc.
pepper - but her agent and president verse.
emily - from criminal minds.
jane - from mr and mrs smith.
larissa - from wednesday.
lucifer - from the sandman (no bio yet so u got their wiki lol).
also remember i am always glad to throw my muses into different fandoms so don't let that hold you back either. why stick to canon when we can do what we want hm?

i haven't put a lot of serious thought into nora's modern au's, but i definitely think not having nate die in one of them and instead having nora and nate get divorced only for nate to find out his favourite video game streamer (hancock) is streaming from his old living room is pretty funny

Lmao polyamory organization slammed riverdale for portraying the polyamory relationship between the characters as a twist and surprising moment rather than portraying it as something that are part of their lives and natural progression. In that case you guys should watch ST where the gay ship is written as a secretive plot twist.
well if they reveal that mike and will have been together for the past year in a two-minute montage in the finale i'll call the gay organizations myself
