#Bc fuck Joanne lol

[obaewankenope]

When you go OFF in the discord about Rowling, homiohobia, transphobia, antisemitism, the Good Ol Days mentality of denying a society the change that happens post-war, and have to calm yourself down because your watch is telling you your heart rate is over 120bpm.

Come here Joanne, I just wanna talk with you.

Honest.

Saw your post about Emer possibly having a Fomorian heritage. I'm curious if there are sources about it. Ngl I wish we could explore more of her character outside of her canon roles in the Ulster myths. Her family seems interesting especially since her father was called 'Forgall Manach' (the wily).

i'm not aware that anyone has written any articles about that detail, but it comes from the longer recension of tochmarc emire if you want to see it in situ (meyer's 1888 translation here). it's not a plot point or anything, the text just tells us in passing that her father is a nephew of tethra, one of the fomoire.

i did a quick search on BILL (bibliography of irish language and literature) and didn't turn up many articles on emer and none that seemed relevant, BUT it's pretty out of date so if they're recently published (by which i mean within the last five years... or possibly ten years...) there's a strong chance they wouldn't be indexed yet. so that doesn't necessarily mean no one has published anything, it just means it's hard to find it if you don't already know where to look for it

i'll have a look on codecs too but a) same problem applies, recent articles tend not to be on there and b) for some reason the TE page is under construction and not a published page and i'm not sure why bc i could've sworn it used to be a normal one. however all these sites are maintained by like... one person doing it in their spare time tho bc celtic studies is small and not very digital so i can't be too mad when they're not 100% perfect!

eta: okay idk what was up with it being in preview mode the other day but the TE page is normal again now. scroll down for bibliography but there isn't much that looks like it would touch on this subject. an agent search for emer also doesn't get you much -- three publications by joanne findon and one by marie-luise theuerkauf, none of which are on this kind of topic. looks like forgall does show up in one other text but it's a poem that hasn't been translated so. lol. shit outta luck there, fuck poetry

i will say that i don't think epithets are always super significant. like. there's one character whose epithet is "strong-kneed" or "of the great knees" and i have NEVER got to the bottom of what that's supposed to mean (it makes me laugh every time though). so far i have not found any stories in which his knees are relevant. in forgall's case, it could be as simple as meaning he's a bit clever and makes life difficult for cú chulainn in this one story and there may be no more to it than that. but there also might be more, which might be lost (i.e. it was the focus of texts that didn't survive), or might just be unclear to me (bc i have never looked hard at forgall)

if you had to rank pjo/hoo characters how would you rank them and why?

i have not fully ventured into hoo im gonna be real w you so lets do a semi analysis, and since im kinda type a and scared that i dont get directions ill do favorite and least favorite

i have big main character syndrome and i think its my fatal flaw (/j) but mcs always get me... so fucking emotional--- watching the show and in comparison to the books AFTER the fact, i think its crazy but ---percy would have to be first i would cradle that boy into my arms and fight the gods for him. he needs a BREAK. ALL OF THEM DO HONESTLY.

the whole dumbification of him as a character irks me sometimes because its so obvious that he has little to no self esteem but is an intelligent guy in his own right. imo viewers were critiquing that bit in the show a lil too hard, walker ate that shit up. percy is The Himbo though. also idk if this is unpopular but i also loved rachel as a character bc she is The Girlboss. i wish i was as cool and as smooth as her as a teenager

least favorite?? i didnt feel any specific hatred towards any of the kids maybe bc i read the series for the first time as an adult (if yall didnt know from my older works i grew up a potterhead) and i cant be mad at kids acting like kids, but i would say uncle rick found more of his rhythm as the series progressed if that makes sense??? but it felt like a lot of push and pull on some tropes and like for example i felt like chris and clarisse getting together were random... thats just my stronger opinion at this moment in time lol

but what can i say coming from a fandom where the author is a transphobe and cant worldbuild for shit? name reveal why do yall think i go by jo 😭😭😭 its bc its actually joanne and when we yell at jk rowling i feel like we're yelling at me too 😭😭😭 are my opinions even valid

that was a ramble and none of it makes sense hope that helps

HOW did you make your Baldr cosplay. You've inspired me to wanna try and make one too, got any tips on doing it?

aaaaaa I feel so honored I inspired you!!!! ;0; my disclaimer is that I am the farthest thing from a professional lol, but I will show you how I did it! My cosplay philosophy is that I am lazy and want to spend as little money as possible ⭐ I always use clothes I already own, the base outfit I already owned I only needed to get the belts, hoodie and wig

This is long I'm so sorry I just went thru the whole process :')

Here is every part of the finished cosplay:

Boots

Black jeans

Pants chain (mine is just an old one from hot topic)

Blue belts x2 (got these on Amazon, $10 USD each)

Black shirt + vest (or you can do one black button down, in canon Baldr looks like he's wearing a black vest over a white shirt but I felt like my vest was too low it would've looked weird)

Black fingerless gloves

Hoodie (Amazon, $18 USD) + tassel (Joann's Fabrics $10 USD)

Mark of mastery by MadeByFjori on Etsy ($6 USD) I bought it unpainted to save money and just got some metallic gold paint :) its really good quality and shipped fast! I had taped a safety pin on the back of it to attach it to the hoodie (I had tried super gluing it but it mf broke off!!! Tape it is,)

Wig (mine is the Skyelar classic in silver from Arda Wigs!) If you have no experience styling wigs that's fine since Baldr's hair is so choppy that if you fuck it up it works LOL I always style my wigs while wearing them thats just me, I brushed the hair in front of my face and cut the bangs around the bottom of my eyes and went from there. I also cut part of the sides framing my face

If you have dark hair like me I recommend a skin colored wig cap!!! Dark hair spilling out from a white wig will look weird, they sell them kn the Arda Wigs site

Optional: Starlight keyblade from Spirit Halloween ($40 USD) it's solid plastic, lightweight and looks amazing! The only bad thing I've found is the keychain just. Is not durable. Last year it broke off at a convention and I lost it 😔

Optional: face mask by KumalatteCreations on Etsy ($16 USD) I wear it with all my KH cosplays lol I have 2 masks for cosplay from them, really great quality, fit and has a place to insert a filter. I have the OSFA teen/women size because my face is tiny :')

Okay but let's talk real shit: the Hoodie. It's a plain white sweatshirt from Amazon, size up to get that oversized look Baldr has. Also disclaimer: do NOT get a thick hoodie I tried my best to get a light weight one and oh my god. For something that is essentially Just Sleeves I was SWEATING TO DEATH okay anyway materials:

Hoodie base

Gold fabric (I bought 1 yard and had more than enough)

Black buttons x2

Black ribbon

Tassel

Fabric scissors, fabric glue, needle/thread, safety pins

Black and orange markers

If you get a hoodie like mine where the hood strings have metal around the edges, use white paint or white out (I did not have time to buy white paint,) to paint over the metal so its not distracting

Now the How To:

Pull out your hood strings if applicable, paint any metal like I mentioned above

Use fabric glue to add black ribbon around the sleeves, do this in sections not all at once, do the ends of the ribbon around the back of your armpit to hide the ends. On my hoodie there was a hem on the sleeves that I followed so it was easy to make it even on both sides

Crop sweatshirt in half and cut down the middle front but DO NOT go all the way to the top where the hood is, stop about 2 inches away from it otherwise you will be me having to sew that shit back together

Measure where you want the front to fold open, you will probably have to cut more off of the sweatshirt bc if its too big you will be pinning that shit onto the top of your shoulders, basically shorter in the front and longer in the back (I know mine is so messy I didn't measure I just guessed I know wtf @ me-)

Flip hoodie inside-out and add gold fabric to the inside of the hoodie, leave about half an inch room around the edge for hemming, yes the entire inside too, I found that when I moved around I could see the back of the inside and it looks weird when the gold fabric suddenly stops

If you have a sewing machine or want to do this by hand then fold over the edges and hem it on top of the gold (not me tho I was con crunching and glued that shit all the way around,) it cleans up the edges and adds the white border to the part you will pin open

What I WANTED to do was to sew the buttons onto the hoodie and add button holes on what would get pinned but I did not have the time so I sewed the buttons directly onto the front pieces so when I fold it open I used 2 safety pins on each side to hold it up

For the tassel: I colored it with a peachy/light orange sharpie and a black one. I measured how long I wanted it to be and cut the other end off and used fabric glue on the end to stop fraying. I wrap it around the buttons and do a simple loop knot to keep it in place

if you end up doing what I did irt the tassel, don't go in with a regular orange marker bc it came out so dark on the fabric its made of like I just happened to have this peach/skin tone sharpie that came out the right shade on the gold fabric

Finally, pin the mark of mastery in place!

Now you are Baldr :)

[isabelguerra]

you ran the wizard au right? i remembered i used to love the worldbuilding!!!! and the fic series (both if them) were sooo fun, if you ever wrote more i know id read it 👉👈…. so um i know there was a triwiz tournament year, did u ever come up with outfits for the yule ball? i love fashion and am really interested in hearing what you’d have everyone wear haha. thank you for answering!!!

SIGH. yeah that was me i ran the hogwarts au. i cannot run from my past i just gotta embrace it. anyway im super touched to hear u liked my au… my feelings around it are super conflicted but even though i dont talk abt it much it was really sweet hearing how much you liked it. so yes. yes i did come up with yule ball outfits, for the triwizard tournament arc in their 6th year, which i will share for u bc u asked so sweet 

first off: my biggest gripe with yule in canon was how boring it was. these are fucking wizards. i was not going to let that shit get away with black robed suits and prom dresses i wanted full ass met gala-level Extra, while still staying faithful to the characters tastes and personalities. so i ended up looking at a bunch of runway couture! heres what i came up with: 

isabel, as the heir to the prestigious guerra family name, quidditch captain, brightest witch of their year, and max (hogwarts champion)’s date (they went together for appearances as bffs and bc neither of them got actual dates), had a lot of pressure on her shoulders socially. i wanted her 2 have something she could feel natural in but a little restricted by, as she likely had her dress chosen for her rather than chose it herself. so she likes it but it reflects her wizarding world status more than her actual personality. it also goes 2 be said that the night before yule she stayed up hand folding a bunch of paper cranes and butterflies for her dress that would fly around her all night. loved Teuta Matoshi, Joanne Flemming bridal, and vintage Costarellos designs 4 her

max was hogwarts champion that year obviously which means he had to have the most swag out of anyone. obviously. i was super into butch lesbian max when i made this so his inspos were primarily womens suits. he was the only one i let have a black outfit bc i cant see him being super fashionably flashy. vibe i went for was ‘shiny goth swag’, which Isabel Marant SS2020 and D&G pre-Fall 2020 really hit the nail on the head

ed was probably the most fun+ easiest. i just dressed them weird. also idk if i mentioned this but ed and rj went to yule together lol? #nonbinaryswag. my fav look for them was #1, D&G Spring RTW 2020. i love that shiny suit. i do also think he’d fuck it up in the dress at the end though

isaac i went so ridiculous with isaac you know he’d be so extra. Balmain FW2016 really pulled through with the velvet fabrics, squared shoulders, and gold accents. my other looks were Louis Vuitton Fall 2020, which were a bit sillier but i still loved for him

spender fucks it up in a chadwick boseman met gala 2018. he does not pull it off as well but what can u do 

EXTRAS bc idk if u just meant outfits for Just the main cast or for everyone. so here’s some bonus outfits for other cast members :-)

johnny is one of the few muggle-born wizards i chose from the cast, so his outfit would’ve reflected that slight displacement and more attunement to the human world. i loved 2 joke w my friends that getting johnny in ANY fancy outfit would be hard, and even if u could get him in one he’s still wear his iconic ratty leather jacket over his nice clothes anyway. so johnny got two pics: one from Balenciaga Spring 2018 (love the dorky high waisted pants and patterned red dress shirt combo), and another from Coach Spring 2017 (love the jacket). he also deffo charmed his hair to Literally Be On Fire until one of the professors told him to put it out. he also let loose a racoon in the venue while nobody was looking.

stephen 100% hamish bowles met gala no further comment

rj showed up w/ ed looking like this

[k-ky]

How was Gilles abusive to his family? :o

claps hands tgt OH BOY ok i did have a doc that is like some weird manifesto essay but off the top of my head this is what i rmb.

Towards Jacques: 1) berating him to a point where he gets into some anxiety attack episode whenever gilles is around, the example his mom gave was JV was a careful and coordinated child that never spilt his milk but if Gilles sat at the table he gets so nervous he spills the glass of milk. And then Gilles will berate him for it. JV is not allowed to make mistakes expected of small children his age, he gets scolded by Gilles for anything he did all the time around the clock. 2) JV gets a stress migraine and starts grinding his teeth very hard watching Gilles during race weekends that he needs to be taken away before he has a meltdown. 3) Gilles blatantly plays favorites, being kind and loving to his sister Melanie but not JV, and denies it when everyone around him says so. JV gets berated for the same mistakes Melanie would make but Gilles never scolds Melanie. 4) Rally racing with young JV in his lap and toddler Melanie sleeping in the back seat. 5) Being an absent father busying with his celebrity lifestyle at races (when the family stopped traveling around with him in motorhomes bc the kids need a fucking education at some point lmao) and then being absent also when he does go back bc all he does is ride his boat and helicopter.

Towards his wife Joann: 1) Berates her appearance alot, saying she should go blonde and when she dyed her hair blonde he still didnt like it lol. 2) Selling their house for a stupid racing car when she was pregnant with their second child and had a baby JV to care for without telling her beforehand or even giving her a say (and hes also unemployed lol) . 3) Giving her a motorhome but not bothering with heating so every morning for the sake of herself and baby JV not freezing to death she (PREGNANT) had to climb under the car and use a blowtorch (that gilles so kindly gave her) and heat up the pipes. Sometimes they might explode and hurt her I think. 4) Not being there for most of the visits to the doctor when Joann was pregnant, leaving her heavily pregnant wading through waist deep snow in the freezing Canadian weather also carrying baby JV, with diapers and milk. 5) Constantly complaining about her cooking and publicly berating her about it. 6) Speeding his car dangerously down the highway for a bet when she was pregnant and next to him in the car. 7) HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH ANOTHER WOMAN FOR A YEAR +++ AND IT BEING AN OPEN SECRET THAT HIS WIFE AND HIS KIDS KNEW ABT ANYWAYS.

joann fabric is having a major fucking insane crazy sale rn. im losing my shit! it looks like fleece is even cheaper than the last time i got fleece, when it was also on sale. i asked my mom if she’d take me today bc i really want to sew again, i think it would fix me psychologically.

i want to sew the struggling artist again since ive created that new doll pattern that’s bigger, much more consistent (bc i saved ALL the parts lol), and cuter. after him i want to start thinking about dolls i can sell. i’m not sure if it’d be a better idea to create a popular character for my first Doll For Sale or if it’d be a better idea to just make a “generic” cute doll with a theme. i have to try not to get attached either way lol.

[loveireandblog]

dani told me to reach out to my bro last night and I'm on my period so I was like I'm asking so many pretty strong questions and she's like "it's okay! It's normal" and I'm like I love u but I am tryna tell u so u don't subject this to memory i have it quite well ordered usually but my emotions r a mess (what I had to say was Real but i wanted to voice it cos time of the essence but didn't wanna sound so hard on reservations but I was like fuck it I wanna talk just pls understand its intensified lol)

I was saying my main reservation w/ meeting him is how much I think I'll influence his decision and how I can't shake off this black sheep fuckin "I influence the kids" thing parents slapped onto me

I still have this thing going nonetheless

I KNOW everyone's their own person - but I said to my sister the issue is I AM influencing, I become Greener Pastures not Joanne if that makes sense to him living on toxic fumes frm the house...if someone like me appeared when I was struggling I'd Bolt and it scares me bc leaving shakes u! It's a cult! I like a Whittle down easy life and I pushed out a cult that's the break

and I see him deadlocked and ill be like "babe it's so easy to leave and u have me!" I was joking after a good hr sobbing to dani over it being like yk what gimme him ill radicalise him he'll leave a communist once I've had an hr w him lol

So yea. When there's nothing sweet it's sour oookkkkkskkwkwkwkkw I can't rn do or be

I actually want to strengthen I swear to christ

911 6x03! I'm so excited 😍

(spoilers under the cut)

I'm excited for the story and I love seeing baby Athena but also: that scene and dialogue when the dad came home was so cliché 😂😂

this is so sad and I can't wait to get the answers hah like, Samuel looks sus right now 👀 but at the same time... I'm hoping for Athena's sake he's innocent 😅

Samuel's looking more and more sus 👀👀 but also Junior's dad????👀 this is so exciting, I think I need to watch some crime shows because I am loving this storyline 😂😂

I feel so fucking bad for Athena 😩

and again, I just love Bobby and Athena's relationship, they're always so open and can talk to each other, which is probably such a low bar but I feel like we don't see it enough on TV hahah

they're talking to Joanne and I'm crying 😢 God, losing your little sister like this..... I don't even wanna imagine what that must feel like

ah, of course Tanya copied her older sister and snuck out too, that's what little sisters do, they do everything you do 🙄😂

I feel you Joanne, little sisters can be so annoying 😂 but also I'm still so stressed because of whatever happened later that night 😳 (also, I get it, teens drink, I did it too, but letting your very young sister drink and not keeping an eye on her? yeah, no, no matter how annoying she gets, you take care of her and either walk her home or keep her by your side or in your line of sight pls)

I do feel so fucking bad for Joanne, and I get why she feels so guilty, because of course what happened was not her fault, but she did show Tanya that it's okay to sneak out etc - the guilt of that plus not telling anyone for 45 years must just feel so fucking terrible

oh my god it was Reggie?? what? 😱 I'm just glad it's not Athena's dad tbh haha

Junior????? oh fuck, I didn't even think of that 😱😱😱 oh my god he's so creepy and disgusting, she's a little girl what the fuck 🤢

also, it kinda makes me happy (as much as an episode like that can lol) that it's Athena who figured it out, especially since this was the thing that made her wanna become a police officer and she wanted to find the girl and solve the case

the editing of that running scene, switching between Tanya running from Junior and Junior running from Athena, it's so fucking good + the music... I'm crying

that poor girl 😭😭😭💔

Athena got him - this is making me more emotional than if any other cop did, because that's why she wanted to become a cop in the first place, to find this guy 😭

now I feel bad I suspected Samuel, but the evidence was there and even Athena wasn't sure 😂 also, Reggie fucking knew 😡 I get protecting your son but other parents lost their child dude.....

oh my god there were others 💔🤢 of course there were oh my god 😭

OH MY GOD WHAT A GOOD EPISODE

it was amazing, and so sad, with a bittersweet ending, because at least they found out what happened but all those girls... 💔😭 and it's scary to think that those things really happen irl

also, I need to watch some crime shows because this was so exciting, as much as it was sad and devastating 😂

Angela Basset is a fucking queen, I love her so much

I'm not even mad that it was just this one storyline this episode because it was amazing and I wasn't bored for even a second (which lately is a problem with most shows for me lol), the pacing was amazing, it kept me engaged and the misleads and twists got me 😂

it was amazing and I hope that now Athena and Bobby will get to go on their honeymoon and finally get some very well-deserved vacation 😂😂 give that woman a break pls 😂

and I can't wait to see what the rest of the firefam are up to, tho tbh I didn't miss them that much this episode because of how good this was (but I did miss seeing Eddie bc I didn't have my weekly pause and thirst for Eddie moment lol)

this was one of my fave episodes of the whole show tbh, so good, such an important topic, so heartbreaking, loved it
