#And getting sah in there somehow

[ceiling-karasu]

Oh, don’t worry, rei-does-stuff and I (maybe) will be translating it at some point like they did with the Brave Soldiers manhwa. I figure I put in just enough context and exposition for people to understand what went down in the manhwa so they can understand the fanfic, at least. And canon typically violence in the battle really was toned down a bit.

Kind of sad that it appears that I am the first person to upload a fanfic for that fandom. I bet there may be some on Korean sites I don’t know about. I can’t figure out how to make that upright slash though, between the English and Korean name of the series, you know? I figure I can copy and paste and the supposed tag wranglers can take care of it.

I do think the Spanish translates easier, since there appear to be a lot of interchangeable words in Korean.

GGMW was made by a team of two people, and they don’t appear to be involved in sah, but it is easy to see how easily it can be incorporated, if only for some Flower Hill soldiers to get confused over hundreds of severed wasp heads. I still say the bee and other insect kingdoms can be semi-autonomous territories within Flower Hill. Silkworms are still non sapient like the fish are. They can be seen as cattle or something.

You know how I seem to be making titles out of the song lyrics or propaganda of the show and comic? I’m wondering about using a GGMW line for the corruption AU.

Wings that Beat Stronger Than the Storm Wind Can Never Be Broken sound nice, but so does To Love the Country and Mountain Stream Where You Grew Up as well. Like for the first one everyone has through so much in their lives but they are recovering in the mountains after the last conga line of bad things had them declared possible traitors are exiled in the Montain village so their superiors can hide their own embezzlement and corruption. The second one sounds nice because they might all be young and don’t truly have a proper life until they get to the mountain, so it’s like they grow up there and mature in the end.

Very tempted to name the WHS hedgehog something related to bees since I’m thinking of them ending up as a beekeeper, but Yangbong-ga sounds a little too clunky for me right now.

Yeah I didn’t know how to do the thing or even how to start it, which is why I looked at a few references to get a basic understanding of it.

I don’t know anything about negative spaces or what those even are, I just took a picture out a window from when I was being moved around in hospitals.

And then I just added in the characters where it made sense. It was a nice veiw, though. No way was I copying that tower, though.

It’s fine if you don’t want to show us the other fandoms!

No idea how I made the anime thing, I made the thing last year. You know what they say about beginner’s luck and all.

Salar de Uyuni with a tree sounds amazing! I was thinking something reflective, like that Thor: Love and Thunder movie with Eternity but with an tree, although I’m thinking it looks like a normal mountain or meadow or valley until they start waking up.

Looks pretty similar so we may be on the same wavelength.

Although I’d love to see your take on it with your style! I don’t think I can even try and draw something like that for a good long time. I’m too obsessed with honeybees right now.

Hello :))

Here's a small sketch of Siwoo (Haven't drawn this man in ages)

A quick explanation of the sketch:

The Raliaen Mountain Crescent Base doesn't have a formal financial department or anything related to it. Aera has tried to ask for a financial department to be established, but the Central government told her that they can't spare any for her as her base doesn't need one. Aera knows that's a lie since she and Hyeonsik are stuck maintaining the budgets and resource allocation of the base. Eventually, Aera is unable to keep up due to higher number of suspected enemy spies being reported. Hyeonsik hates to do anything related to finance beause he hates money (long story). So, he just gives them to Siwoo who had studied a bit of accounting before. Siwoo is genuinely still confused on why he is given the documents. Hyeonsik does actually give Siwoo a bonus for doing them, so Siwoo can't complain.

One of many reasons Siwoo needs coffee.

Excerpt Below the Read More

Mulmangcho obliviously walked past them both, carrying a large box of farming hand tools and booklets. “Mulsajo, Oegwipali, radishes grow in the summer months as well. Cabbage only grows in spring and fall, so I suggest we grow more of those now. Also, it turns out that we may be able to grow potatoes during the winter, but I’ll have to…figure out.... that is not our car…”

I guess that mouse was not officially declared dead. Murori survived the same type of explosion. But where is he hiding? Geumsaegi thought, bitterly. Still, the missing mouse suggested that there might be hidden compartments somewhere in the farmhouse that he could search for information.

Shaking, Oegwipali pointed in the direction of the Special Aide. Mulmangcho’s confused expression changed to one of surprised apprehension, then anger.

Suddenly, the farmhouse was approached by the roaring of more jeeps, cars, and small trucks. Within a minute, the Regimental Commander and several large members of the Wolf Unit were inside the house. They stretched, speaking loudly, “So, we’ve finally arrived. Kinda small though, eh?”

Geumsaegi, needing to keep his cover, pointed at Oegwipali, the wolves leering over everyone, “Go and assist in bringing their luggage inside. You, Mulmangcho, you stay here.” The one eared mouse, understanding the situation, saluted properly and left to do as he was told.

“And what exactly are you doing all the way out here, Special Aide?” Mulmangcho saluted sarcastically. Best to at least pretend to be polite. He could be dead in the next minute, after all, and it would look bad if Special Aide shot someone giving a greeting. He wondered what the Special Aide had told the Wolf Unit about him, if maybe they would be fine if he was shot dead giving a greeting.

“You are on house arrest. You do not get to question why an army unit should pay a remote area a visit,” Geumsaegi played his role.

Before either of them could continue, shouts were heard as another vehicle roared wildly around the house, wolves yelping, jumping out of the way, some colliding with the walls with a thump, laughing at their close calls.

Something green and tattered flew past the window, thrown up by spinning tires.

“MY CABBAGES!” Oegwipali wailed in alarm from outside.  

Commander Seungnyangi burst into the farmhouse, eyes flashing blue, followed by the slightly shaken Officer Yeou.

y'all this ain't even ooc at this point, Mulmangcho is mutating into a whole different character at this point and I'm rolling with it because I am a

i want to read about jason todd of the arrowverse. I want to read about him crawling out of his grave to the world where batman, bruce, his dad, is not going to be in soon.

i want him waking up after the dip in a lazarus pit, feeling bloodlust[in arrowverse it is canon, thank you very much], meeting ra’s and nyssa and then talia. still getting trained by terrible monsters, people, who enjoy sufferings of others too much.

i want him to finish his training with all-caste, only to realize league is in shambles, some al sah-him and then al sa-her calling themselves next ra’s al ghul, with talia being banished.

i want to read about jason todd finding out his dad at whom he was so so pissed is missing. have been missing for almost two years.

seasons: 1 and ongoing

and gotham.

gotham is in fucking ruins, because there's no batman, there's no robin. there’s no alfred.

now there’s only him and barely there rumours of nightwing, protecting new york.

jason takes up the mantle. he takes up the legacy. and he hates bruce for it. but gotham and her streets are his home. even if he has to fight bloodlust tooth and nail. because he can’t. he can’t simply make another bloodbath. gotham’s streets are already soaked in too much red. and there’s still a difference for him between killing joker and killing black mask.

he tries to look for bruce, managing one crazy case after another, almost drowning in the filth that flooded the streets when no one had been looking. he tries to look for dick. for brother that hated him at the beginning yet started looking out for him at the end. but he finds a teen instead. genius teen who has so much photos of him as robin, of bruce as batman, of dick as robin and nightwing. of him as red bat.

his name is tim drake, he’s skinny and has no self-preservation skills, his parents are neglectful jerks that still love their son somehow. he becomes jason’s robin. red robin. light in the dark alleyways. hope in the hearts of gothamites. thorn in rogues’ plans. safe haven in jason’s life that calms his bloodlust.

batman needs robin.

red bat, too, needs one.

even if stories about them are a hoax as far as everyone believes.

they hear from nightwing. or well more like jason gets jumped and almost electrocuted by him. thank fuck for red robin, his birdarangs and bright yellow cape. dick doesn’t trust him until he sees empty coffin and dna test. jason really can’t blame him.

year after kate kane finds the cave.

now there’s batwoman. more freaks. and more whispered rumours about existence of bats and birds.

then there’re arrow and flash in his city with flying alien in blue and red with ‘s’ on her chest.

and jason realises shit is going to go down, because it’s just a begining. there's no ending in sight, no bruce in sight.

only him, dick, tim, kate. and other vigilantes who know nothing about how gotham works so they really should get the fuck out of here right this second.

hotd and magnificent century and their character parallels

hatice:helaena—both got married to a man they didn't love(hatice's first marriage was to a much older man, against her wish), both got cheated on by their husbands, both are treated as the nice innocent members by their families while the others also dismiss their opinions more often than not, helaena's prophecies and hatice's fear of ibrahim's statues and if u want to be insane her nightmare abt nigar even if both were her being paranoid she still turned out to be right and their tragic fates could also be compared to one another in a way. them both losing children in tragic ways as well.

ibrahim:daemon—so this one's pretty obvious to me. both are warriors and want(ed) to die in battle serving their rulers, both have ambitions(daemon wanting to be the king and ibrahim's im the tamer and lion is the sultan speech), both have their own insecurities, want a place to belong, both are ruthless, both had mistresses(daemon with mysaria and ibrahim with nigar) etc. its not a 100% correct comparison bc daemon is of the royal family and ibrahim came as a slave but still.

aemond:bayezid—men children playing war experts, short tempers, brother complex, overlooked, anger issues etc.

aegon:selim—so while aegon was portrayed so badly selim somehow came out looking like an amazing man in comparison they are both alcoholics who didn't want their duty but ended up accepting it after being pushed into it and even fighting to prove themselves capable for the challenge.

sah:rhaenys—both these women stand on business!! both married to powerful men(even if lutfi is the grossest nastiest man in the show and im forever his biggest hater). just how sah knew mihrimah was to blame for esmahan falling rhaenys blamed rhaenyra and daemon for their children dying and uhm that scene of sah killing hurrem's servant for writing a fake letter and rhaenys burning smallfolk who were rooting for aegon always comes to mind. both have that brilliant i see through your bullshit look and cunning energy also

rhaena:cihangir—both are overlooked by their families, one for a lack of a dragon and the other for his disability. it's not the perfect comparison obviously but just like rhaena might feel inadequate to her sister who actively participates in supporting rhaenyra's claim while she can't do much to help, cihangir feels inadequate to his brothers despite loving them greatly.

mehmed: daeron the daring—courteous and gentlest among all of their brothers and daeron was described as someone more likely to follow the orders than give them. and just like hotd forgot his existence 2 seasons in the show mc writers gave mehmed minimum character development and complex traits because why not.

baela: aybige hatun— baela was wild, willing and fearless and considered herself more boyish than lady like. just like aybige she loved riding AND they both got engaged/married to their relatives who happen to be brunettes.

alicent: mihrimah. okay but hear me out!! both are women of noble birth who got manipulated into marrying older nasty men, both rock that power walk, both are sort of binded to the tradition and serving the releam/empire, both tend to go to weird disgusting men when in need of an aid(alicent with larys i think and mihrimah with rustem. ugh). and they both prioritize their family above everything and there's alicents affair with criston and mihrimahs attraction to bali bey and pedro also.

at the same time, alicent has parallels with both hurrem(the knife scene, slaying in green sjjejdj, explaining to their children that they're the challenge for the throne etc) mahidevran(following the patriarchal system and getting shocked when it doesnt serve them tho for alicent i blame this more on the terrible writing and that sense of self righteousness) as well so it could be whichever.

hurrem: rhaenyra? again, im conflicted on this one. just like rhaenyra was named the first female ruler hurrem became the sultan's lawful wife, hurrem was called a witch and rhaenyra cruel, just like how hurrem is mistreated by valide rhaenyra IS mistreated by alicent, in a way both fight to change the system etc. i could also totally see hurrem and nyra bonding just over talking about their favorite foods.

that being said there's also one glaring similarity between her and mustafa and it's them both being heirs and therefore threats to their brothers lives/those brothers being threats to their own lives as well

i have no idea for nigar and nurbanu which is funny bc they are one of my faves from the show and idk abt sully either bc i wanna say viserys but somehow viserys is so lame he makes sully look amazing in comparison. well that and @desmoonl would probably find where i live and ensure my permanent disappearance off planet earth bc she doesn't play abt bearded rulers w a loyalty kink

what are your favorite daleth headcanons? :O

Daleth Head-canons‼️‼️‼️‼️💥💥💥💥💥💥 (v.long)

c.900 yrs old

If I were to draw them ‘human’, he’d be blasian.

Refuses to eat chicken, SahMekh taunts him with chicken soup.

Favourite colours are pink, purple and blue

Always hyped for Days of Love, decorated literally everywhere (Loves Love)

Would hang around with Teth for hours listening to them talk about their inventions, never understood anything they said.

Says he doesn’t have a favourite bird, does.

Tea. Everyday, every hour, can never be seen without tea

Always wanted a child

Enjoys puzzles, Teth would present one to them and it would be solved within the day.

Is a bit of a hoarder, still has Very Old trinkets from the others, Tsadi’s prototype gloves for an example, but when faced with questions about it, they’d get extremely defensive

Used to have excellent vision, but was blinded in the process of their mask shattering

Desperately tried to keep up blissful ignorance for his people during the War (specifically the children)

Is extremely spiteful towards the other Elders, at first (after death) he tried to be civil with the them but quickly gave up after being faced with lacklustre remorse.

When Tsadi finally had the revelation of “omg animal abuse is bad!!!!!” Daleth was. So Mad.

Is the resident ‘nurse’ among the elders (knows basic medicine)

Not really a hc, but his temple is literally a birdcage. that speaks for itself

Sunscreen sunscreen sunscreen. They once caught Sah without it and they had to deal with an hour long speech from him.

Generally just falls under the Listener type, but ask him about a topic they enjoy and they’ll yap all day long.

Wasn’t an alcohol per say, but definitely had a bit of reliance on it in the last few years of their life, to deal with it all.

Audhd. If that wasn’t obvious enough

Fridge is just stocked to the brim with different meats (not chicken) and maybe some vegetables

Their bed is an amalgamation of sticks, pillows, other birds (somehow), and blankets, their very own nest.

Likes to prank others with illusions. and paint bombs

Has minor future vision, like, see a bit into the future but never past a day, and it's always blurred like watercolour

I was originally gonna talk about my fav hcs other people have made but loh and behold, there are very little. But I'd say these are all the ones off the top of my head, sorry it's long lol

[echoing-locations]

LOOKY LOOKY!!!! ME-SAH SEES A SPACES CLOWN!!!!

Stardust Star Wars chuckles!!!

Info under the cut. A little spoilers for Chuckles backstory!

well he’s…. He’s Chuckles. A very strange being who just popped onto the Rhapsody one day, Rett and Pyke tried to get him off and tried ditching him multiple times but they’d always get back to the Rhapsody and he’d be there like he never left. Eventually Rett figured out Chuckles can do something to the hyperdrive that lets it go faster than normal without damaging it or the ship. Pyke also figures out that Chuckles is somehow able to communicate with the force, sort of similar to how Dandy talks to the living force.

how long he’d been here? He didn’t know, but he knew this place was changing him. Things were talking to him, things with out mouths, he could feel everything and it’s life. Maybe staying here wouldn’t be so bad. Those being with the masks seem nice enough.

How long had he been here?—

[isthisspncharactertheasshole]

AITA for trying to stop the apocalypse?

I (7,000,000,000M) have been spending the last two years trying to stop my brother (>7,000,000,000M) from trying to end the world. I didn't tell my friend (31M) because he's had enough problems to deal with, and there isn't much he could do anyway. Instead, I have been working with this other guy (349M) whom we've both worked with before.

Things got a bit more complicated when my friend and his brother (27M) got into a disagreement with my new business partner, and I had to help my business partner fake his death to keep our arrangement secret. At this point, I was mainly just keeping it from my friend because I knew he would get mad if he found out how long I'd been keeping it to myself.

Somehow, despite my best efforts, my friend found out, and sure enough, he got mad. He laid a trap for me and forced me to come clean, but he didn't want to listen. It seemed like he cared less about my brother trying to bring about the apocalypse and more my business associate. (I may be wrong, but he might have accused me of cheating with my business partner? Even though I have done nothing with that demon that wasn't strictly necessary for sealing our arrangement)

Now he's refusing to support me, despite my best efforts to explain myself. And that's after he dealt with the same business partner to end another apocalypse two years prior. His insistence is making me question things, but I see no other alternative.

In conclusion, am I the asshole?

ALSO HMMM JACK

One aspect I love - No one can be more of a family man than Jack can. If he and Maddie both weren't already SAH parents, he'd be the absolute epitome of malewife SAH dad and he'd rock it. Beyond that though, I adore how much he loves his family and just how feral he gets when they're in danger. This man will go to any lengths for them, and he is as loyal as they come.

One aspect I wish more people understood - CARTOON JACK IS NOT REALISTIC JACK PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING THAT IS HOLY STOP WRITING JACK AS "GHOSTS AND FUDGE" MAN HE'S A COMPLEX CHARACTER AND HE DESERVES JUST AS MUCH LOVE AS THE REST OF THE CHARACTERS anyway uhhhhh yeah, I feel like of the main crew of DP characters, Jack often gets done the dirtiest in terms of characterization in fan works, and it's no thanks to goofy writing in the OG cartoon. He has his hyperfixations, but he's also just as three-dimensional as any of the rest of the cast, and he deserves to be written as such.

One (or more) headcanon(s) I have - Team Autistic Jack all the way bby. NO BUT UHHH yeah that major one aside, I headcanon that while the Fenton bloodline does have a history of supernatural dealings, there were a handful of generations before Jack that tried to sweep it under the rug. It wasn't until he was digging around in the attic as a young teen and found old family records that Jack realized the family history, and he decides to singlehandedly bring back the Fenton name as paranormal hunters and experts. Needless to say, what with Danny and Jazz's involvement in the supernatural many years later, he's successful at restarting the Fenton tradition of supernatural dealings.

One character I love seeing them interact with - UGHH okay I know this is my answer for everyone, but HEAR ME OUT, I love seeing him interact with Danny. Their father-son bond is entirely unique, and somehow both of them are excellent at wearing their hearts on their sleeves but absolute crap at trying to communicate those emotions, so we just get these two bumbling and fumbling around each other but in the most loving way possible (especially as Danny grows out of his "my parents embarrass me" phase)

One character I wish they would interact with more - we got so robbed of seeing Jack and Vlad interactions beyond "VLADDIE"/"go die in a hole". I want to see so much more of these two, like how did they meet? How was their relationship in college? How did they meet Maddie? How did Jack react to Vlad's ectoacne? How do Jack and Vlad rebuild their friendship after Vlad decides to Not Be A Creep anymore? etc. etc.

One (or more) headcanon(s) I have that involve them and one other character - Jack and Maddie originally thought Jazz was going to be a boy thanks to a faulty ultrasound. Jack was so excited to get to name his son Jack (or, for a real pun, Jackson, or Jack Junior, or any combination thereof), so when Jazz popped out a girl, he was admittedly disappointed. Maddie came to the rescue and suggested Jasmine, aka Jazz, as a name, arguing it sounds like Jack (she was still in the throes of post-labor and was not about to suggest Jackie as a name). Jack loved it and was thrilled to have his little girl Jazz. Plus Maddie then still got to lay claim to naming Danny.

[maryellencarter]

Climbed halfway over Mount Floria (my usual route into Faron) before realizing I can't get the warp point for Qukah Nata shrine (Song of Storms quest) without a metal weapon. Picked up Shoda Sah warp point instead (behind the waterfall below Riolu Spring, where Farosh often spawns) even though I can't get anywhere from there without the Zora armor, it being at the bottom of a canyon.

Did not actually do Shoda Sah shrine puzzle because I somehow thought it required a weapon to hit stasised objects, even though I clearly saw the "hit this to make launcher go" crystals and I know for a fact that hitting those uses no durability, so I can hit them with my torch as many times as necessary. I should maybe go back and do that. After I get Toto Sah apparatus shrine -- I've beaten all the apparati on Switch Lite before, I can do it again, I already beat Myahm Agana -- and probably get killed by a bear while trying to get one specific korok in Hickaly Woods. (For some damn reason there's always a bear by that korok, and those fuckers have as much health as a decayed guardian unless you headshot them.)

[agotia-t]

have you seen the squirrel and hedgehog dub brave soldiers (either the English or Spanish version) and if so, what are your thoughts on it?

Sigh, yes, and I only saw english dub/localisation, I don't know spanish so I didn't watch it, but if it's the same experience as english then I don't lose anything by not checking it out.

Honestly, I learned about SaH and Brave soldiers through Lost Media Wiki first, then I got additional information from Saberspark video and Sienduk. When SaH was still lacking subtitles on most episodes, I watched BS first in full.

My thoughts leaning towards negative. From what I can remember, and it is really tough thing to do, plot is a mess. Somehow, simple premise of "Oh no! We got invaded by weasels! We need to protect our village from them and be prepared for further attacks!" become hard to follow when characters just "appear" and "disappear" constantly. Juldarami, I think, is presented as three different squirrels (correct me if I'm wrong). And it's not unique problem to him, there's multiple instances of this and I don't get why people responsible for localisation chose to do that.

I can understand that they need to tone down some aspects of the original, most obvious, the violence (mice on spikes comes to mind first) and it's fine to remove graphic scenes. Same goes on message on self sacrifice, it's part of NK propaganda, I get it, not really good idea to force it on children audience. But everything else? Like, somebody thought, it will be good idea to make Geumsaegi and Juldarami brothers? It might be the case of misinterpretation of their relationship, but they also changed Mulmangcho and Oegwipali from brothers to... Acquaintances? Colleagues? "Friends"??? Huh????

Also, the Music..

The endlessly repeating opening theme. Enough said, OST just sucks.

On positives, some moments are pretty funny, but they are more of unintentional variety, Mike Pollock as Uncle Bear is great, Mulmangcho is renamed to Spitz (idk why I find it so funny, it's generic as hell, but weirdly charming? esp when others have relatively normal sounding names, and there's mouse named Spitz lol). And I think that it with positives I found.

SaH isn't perfect, it has flaws and there could be many different things done if writers could have more creative freedom, but BS in comparison is barely watchable trainwreck, it makes me appreciate original series more. Tbh, it's only interesting because it exists in the first place.

[taylortruther]

Hi! Idk if this is old but your conversation on marriage is pretty interesting to me. I'm disabled and have known for a long time that I would probably not get married or else I will lose my benefits that my family and I need. So Its not a big deal to me really and I've just accepted to not date either because of it and definitely do not want children in the future. But even still, my mom is the kind of person who always tells my sister to never get married either. In fact, they both agreed that getting married is somehow worse than having a kid with someone actually so I don't see the point of being married. What do you think? I'm almost 30 and have never worried about marriage even if I feel behind in dating..idk.

without knowing anything else about your family or your mom, i would assume your mom just hasn't had a great experience with marriage. if you haven't seen any, successful, happy marriages that you would want for yourself, you very well might believe it should be avoided, period.

i don't think you need to be married to have a kid, either. but generally i'd say having a kid should be a WAY more important decision than marriage.

although i've never been married, my parents have been happily married for over 30 years now. my mom has been the primary breadwinner since i was a young kid and manages the money, and my dad was the sah parent and manages the house + spoils the shit out of my mom. so, having grown up in that household, i've always had positive feelings about marriage. i've seen firsthand that, as a woman, i can have a marriage where i don't have to give up power or independence, and my partner will be kind, responsible, and loyal. and i KNOW that's very rare because many of my friends throughout my life have told me how surprising it is that my parents still like each other or that i like spending time with them.

[authorazurite]

I swear I'll get back to Seducing The Enemy REDUX when I finally get rid of all these extra ideas I've been having

Apparently having a conversation that turns into a long-winded conceptual rant with a fellow 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴 of the fandom has unlocked my ability to both be somehow even hornier on main than I usually am, and also explore ships/relationship dynamics I don't think people often consider (I don't think I've seen a fanfic where Geum and Oeg even interact like once outside of two fics by one person, let alone potentially having them actually grow close).

I dunno, college has been absolutely whooping my ass and I just wanna write the propaganda to be more queer than it already is, which is very. This has sorta become a comfort to me.

Regardless, I hope I'm not disappointing with sorta just dipping on the main fic for a bit, not like I wasn't pumping out chapters probably far too fast (I don't beta read because I'm a pleb and also usually preoccupied with something else, and it probably shows alot because even I notice some mind-boggling mistakes when rereading fics post-upload).

Also, note to anyone who wants to write an SAH Fanfic: Honestly? Just do it. I didn't know a god damn thing, I barely watched the series when I put out the original Seducing The Enemy in February. Character accuracy matters but considering how flat alot of the cast are without having to properly look way too deep into it, you're essentially using blank canvas regardless. Get dumb, get horny, get fun, whatever.

The sky is the limit and there's alotta fuckin' sky.

[samsi6]

Ich weiß ja auch nicht... Ich mache ständig Photos. Immer fällt mir etwas ein, warum ich die Photos mache. Später sitze ich dann da und denke 'Hä'... Jedenfalls saß ich heute wieder in Frankfurt Niederrad. Es gibt da eine Pizzeria, die ich überhaupt nicht mag, außer für den Fakt, dass sie selbst am Schließtag ihre Stühle draußen lassen. Wenn ich also mit Personen unterwegs bin, deren Fitness begrenzter ist, als es selbst die meine ist, kann ich das als Erholungsoase im Sinn haben. Ich weiß ja, dass Milliarden von Menschen weltweit nur darauf warten, dass ich random facts aus Frankfurt Niederrad leake. Deshalb tu ich das hier auch. Sonst brechen mir ja die Milliarden anonymen Follower weg, die mir laut kreischend überall hin durch den Alltag folgen, als gäbe es kein morgen. Bzw. als könne es morgen nur eine Steigerung des Erlebnisses von gestern geben. Manchmal denken Menschen so. Alles könne sich immer steigern. Ich meine, ist das irgendjemandes Ernst, dass ständig alles größer, schöner, besser wird? Wir leben immerhin auf einem begrenzten Planeten. Irgendwie freiwillig begrenze ich meine Begrenztheit noch weiter. Das hat aber zur Folge, dass ich ich über begrenzte Orte mehr berichten kann, als andere, die ihre Weitläufigkeit betonen, ihre Weltgewandheit. Aber heute, in dem diesem Augenblick, als ich diese Photographie machte, war ich hier, niemand sonst, und ich bannte, was ich sah, auf digitalem Speicher. Ob es, um das zu illustrieren, wirklich dieses Textes bedurfte, das zu entscheiden bin ich der Falsche. Aber geschrieben habe ich und deshalb steht es hier.

.

.

I don't know either... I take pictures all the time. Something always occurs to me as to why I take the photos. Later I sit there and think 'Huh'... Anyway, today I was sitting in Frankfurt Niederrad again. There is one pizzeria that I don't like at all, except for the fact that they keep their chairs outside even on closing days. So when I'm with people whose fitness levels are more limited, even than mine, I can keep that in mind as a haven of relaxation. I know that billions of people around the world are just waiting for me to leak random facts from Frankfurt Niederrad. That's why I'm doing this. Otherwise, the billions of anonymous followers who follow me everywhere through everyday life, screaming loudly, will break away, as if there were no tomorrow. Or as if tomorrow could only increase the experience of yesterday. Sometimes people think like that. Everything can always improve. I mean, is anyone serious that everything just keeps getting bigger, prettier, better? We live on a finite planet, after all. Somehow voluntarily I limit my limitations even further. The consequence of this, however, is that I can report more about limited places than others who emphasize their vastness, their worldliness. But today, in the very moment that I took this photograph, I was here, no one else, and I captured what I saw on digital storage. I'm the wrong person to decide whether this text was really needed to illustrate that. But I wrote it and that's why it's here.

Just seen the Casualty spoilers for next week, I don't know how to describe my feelings. The first Teddy-related spoiler made me so physically excited I had to start jumping around my living room to be able to keep reading. The second one made me throw my phone across the room. Mixed feelings and general nausea.

The first one? More than I even hoped for from this episode. I honestly just expected that this episode would be him in his feelings, maybe telling Paige about it but probably Jodie (I'LL GET TO THAT). Instead, Jan asking him to come collect the ashes? How interesting it is for his characterisation that he still hasn't forgiven her enough for that? Paige finding out he only proposed because of Gethin? The role of family in Teddy's entire existence? MOST IMPORTANTLY: SAH TRYING TO GIVE HIM ADVICE. We're finally getting a Teddy and Sah scene, and it might go horribly but I honestly thought he'd just never talk to them again and the writers would try and pretend they'd resolved that storyline so I genuinely will cry about this. Expect so many edits. I am so fucking excited to see them interact again, I am shaking like one of those little dogs. I am foaming at the mouth. You will never shut me up.

The second one? Exactly what I dreaded would happen in this episode. I'm not happy about the Teddy/Jodie storyline and I don't shut up about that. I've said before that if I ship something I usually ship it forever and in the case of Teddy that means being very tied to Sah/Teddy/Paige for the good times and Sah/Teddy (no Paige) for the bad times, so I'll never really want to see him with anyone else (I'm not even really very big on Teddy/Paige with no Sah). To be fair, I can objectively see why this does kind of make sense in the moment if not on a whole. Teddy and Jodie are the hospital's nepo-babies and I say that as a joke but I do think it can put them in somewhat similar situations. On top of that, Teddy has just lost Gethin, Jodie has been kinda actively losing Max - I don't think their situations are that similar but I think they have more common ground with each other than they do with a lot of other people. So I see why this works but I don't care, I don’t have to be rational or reasonable about the medical drama if I don’t want to. (And incredibly subjectively? There is no main character in the show whose family life makes for more interesting comparsion with Teddy's than Sah's, even with this storyline.)

I'm not gonna lie and pretend I'll accept it as a plot choice because we've known about it for months now and I still don't like it. But I might've found a way to ignore it if they hadn't decided to make it happen this quickly. I always knew that the Gethin stuff would lead to the infidelity somehow, but I wanted an episode of Teddy grieving that didn't feature that. I wanted them to give Teddy and Jan a little time before they went that way. Just to properly establish things before rushing into a very new storyline, if anything. Even a brief acknowlegement in today's episode would've been better than this. I think I'm getting too into it because personal life things, there's a reason why Teddy is so me and let's keep it at that.

Oh and, yeah, I guess technically he does it under the assumption that he and Paige aren't together so it's kind of not cheating. But it is cheating, isn't it? And he's gonna keep at it. So I feel like even if it kind of isn't cheating now, it will be cheating eventually.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

mixed mixed mixed feelings.

(Also, I forget how much I disagree with Casualty Twitter and then Teddy does anything and the response reminds me. I’m not saying he’s not done anything wrong, but the stuff he’s done wrong is so interesting and people there seem to just want him to disappear entirely if he won’t play the role of “Sah’s Best Friend” for them.)

Ihre Treffen waren jedoch von größter Geheimhaltung

Idk why but I'm getting Schoethe vibes from this, perhaps a secretive meeting about the Horen or how to get rid of Wieland without anyone noticing 👀

Maybe they are trying to steal a snuffbox 👀

Pray tell what is this WIP about

Sorry, my friend, Goethe and Schiller are not involved, though I have a scene that very overtly plays with imagery from Die Leiden des jungen Werther.

It's an AU with the basic premise that the Stuarts have somehow continued ruling, and the Hannovers are... in Hannover. The man we know as the Prince Regent/George IV is destined to remain at home, while the last of the Stuarts, knowing the German cousins are going to be the next heirs to the thrown, has offered commissions in the armed forces to George's younger brothers.

Thinking it's unfair that his brothers get to go fight Napoleon, George, like any sensible, bored 30-something, runs away at night to go to sea in his brother Ernest's uniform and is unexpectedly aided by one of his mother's companions, a certain Caroline von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel.

Shenanigans by land and sea ensue, including, but not limited to, fighting Napoleon, impersonations and disguises, a secret baby and an enemiest.-to-lovers love story so deliberately saccharine both George and Caroline are probably spinning in their graves already.

Have a taste of it under the cut!

Alles war bereit, die Nacht dunkel und mondlos, und das Leineschloss von der seltenen Stille erfüllt, die nur für einen kurzen Moment jede Nacht eintrat, wenn alle Bedienten zu Bett gegangen waren und lediglich die Wachen ihren Dienst taten, und wie sie es auch in jener Nacht getan hätten, hätte nicht der gute Friedrich ihnen Wein zur Erfrischung senden lassen, den er zuvor mit einem Schlaftrunk versetzt hatte.

Durch das Fenster blickte Georg auf das Wasser vor dem Fenster, und das wartende Boot darunter: plötzlich überkam ihn eine eisige Furcht, erschien das schwarze Wasser der Leine ihm nun als eine Untiefe in der nächtlichen Finsternis, das Boot zu klein, Ernsts Uniform zu eng—

„Was tut Ihr hier?“

Georg fuhr auf dem Absatze herum und erwartete, auf den missbilligenden Geist eines gekränkten Ahnens zu treffen, als er das von einem Nachtlicht erleuchtete, kurznasige, speckwangige Schweinsgesicht der kleinen Braunschweigerin erblickte.

„Was tut Ihr hier?“ fuhr er sie unwirsch in gleicher Weise an, denn als Kurprinz stand es ihm wohl zu das Schloss, das er einst erben würde, zu jeder Zeit des Tages zu inspizieren, wohingegen sie nur Gast der Gnade seines Vaters war.

„Küche,“ kam es schmatzend zwischen ihren Zähnen hervor, die, wie er nun sah, ein Küchlein zermalmten, das sie in ihrer freien Hand hielt und von dem sie soeben einen herzhaften Bissen genommen hatte. „Ich war hungrig.“

Vielleicht, so sinnierte er, dem niederen Trieb nachgebend, sie für ihr unverhofftes Auftauchen als wie auch für ihre unsägliche Art, die sie ihm seit jeher lästig und zuwider machte, und von der er vermutete, dass sie sie seiner Mutter andiente, zu strafen, sollte er ihr in hinlänglicher Kleinheit darlegen, dass sie sich undamenhaft betrug und kein Mann je für ein kurzes, dickes Wesen gleich eines fetten Seehundes Liebe empfinden könnte, doch biss er sich auf die Lippe um den Austritt dieser Worte zu verhindern. Sollte sie weinen und schreien, so wäre er in jedem Fall verraten.

„Und Ihr?“ beharrte sie, und stellte das Nachtlicht auf einem Tischlein aus Ebenholz ab.

Um eine Antwort verlegen gab er zurück, dass sie es nicht zu kümmern brauche, wenn er einen nächtlichen Spaziergang durch das Schloss täte, da er der Kurprinz war; in ihrem Falle jedoch galt es in Demut und Dankbarkeit das angebotene anzunehmen, ohne des nachts zur Diebin zu werden— wer außerhalb des Schlosses Brot von einem Bäcker stahl, hatte ganz andere Strafen zu fürchten als die Verachtung des Kurprinzen.

„Immerhin kann ich frei heraus zu meiner, wie Ihr es wohl nennen würdet, Missetat stehen,“ gab sie ohne jegliche Scheu und Einsicht zurück. „Ihr hingegen scheint etwas verbergen zu wollen— oder wieso wartet vor dem Fenster ein Boot, und tragt Ihr die Uniform Eures Bruders, des Prinzen Ernst?“

„Kein Wort,“ fauchte er beinahe katzenhaft, und beging damit unwillentlich den Verrat an seiner eigenen Person.

„Ha,“ triumphierte sie in Flüsterton, „dann reißt Ihr also aus? Wie ein zehnjähriger Bengel, der die Streiche des Schulmeisters leid ist?“
