Foreign Affairs: Gideon Rose: 'Iraq in Retrospect'

SourceForeign Affairs– welcome to Iraq, also known as Hell on Earth. Source:FRS FreeState “Ten years ago this week, the United States and a few of its allies invaded Iraq, writing the final chapter in Washington’s checkered decades-long relationship with Saddam Hussein. Thanks to problems of both conception and execution, the Iraq war ended up becoming the most egregious failure in half a century…

Magic and Mystery Meet Again... in Universe Falls

WE ARE SO BACK BABES! SO EXCITED THAT NEW UF'S COVER IS DONE! Honestly it was so much fun to work on this, to get my head back into thise world with these characters. Now that this is done, I feel like I'm finally ready to push on with the fic and get it off the ground for ya'll.

For those of you not in the know... Universe Falls is a crossover between Gravity Falls and Steven Universe, where the events of both shows happen concurrently. Originally posted back in 2015, new UF is a ground-up rewrite/reboot/revival, condensed down quite a bit with a heavier emphasis on original content and improved writing. You can check the fic out right over here!

I am still freaking out, today at rose city comic con I cosplayed as a gender swapped Edwin from Dead Boy Detectives and no one recognized me and that’s fine but I ended up getting to meet Vico Ortiz!!! And they said my cosplay was beautiful and they were the nicest person on earth!!!!

They were also apparently doing a partial Aziraphale cosplay from Good Omens

And for anyone else out there my sister was doing a cosplay of Gideon from Gideon the ninth

I was just thinking about the Gravity Falls 'Dungeons, Dungeons and More Dungeons' episode and it got me thinking about what D&D 5e class each of the characters would be

(spoilers under the cut if you still haven't seen this show)

(just go watch it, seriously, watch it)

Grunkle Stan: this one is pretty obvious, the man is a rogue thief, even though he relies highly on charisma checks, he rarely succeeds as it is his cunning and sleight of hand that serve him best, and his penchant for burglary and spotty criminal record are an added bonus

Ford: a warlock with the incomparable Bill Cipher as a patron, it was a deal he struck with Bill that gave him the knowledge and skills necessary to complete his project, all the while Bill manipulated him into furthering his own agenda

Gideon: another warlock with the same patron as Ford, the nefarious Bill Cipher, and although Gideon can perform magic on his own, it was his partnership with Bill that made him a major player, but nevertheless he may have multiclassed into another caster, most likely a bard judging by his flair for the dramatic

Wendy: some type of ranger, her natural instinct, rural upbringing, lumberjack training, and survivalist skills make her an ideal candidate for the ranks of rangers defending the fringes of civilisation, her aptitude for nature would serve her well in the hunt

Dipper: probably a wizard, he relies on his intelligence as he wasn't born into the arcane, he must instead study it alone, he is not granted power by a patron, a deity, or an ancient bloodline, he built his skills up overtime with research and training to manipulate the power already around him

Mabel: definitely a college of lore bard, she reacts to every assault with cutting words, and with a creative and flamboyant personality coupled with her affinity for stagecraft (puppet shows), she fits the narrative of the bard perfectly

Grenda: could not be more barbarian coded, with the rage, the muscle, the intimidation, and the ability to inflict physical trauma she's got it all, you can't get more barbarian than that, be cautious when approaching, lest your skull be caved in with a sofa

that's all I have for now maybe I'll do more later

i so badly want to do a group cosplay of pre-resurrection dios apate like right after john got the powers. just running around a con in character frantically arguing over geopolitics in negotiation strategy and which streaming platform will garner the widest audience for a God Reveal™ without getting us shadowbanned

I've seen a couple posts about what if the locked tomb series was an anime and personally I think it would look great in the same style as the magnetic rose short from memories, especially the spaceships and the dilapidated parts of canaan house. I mean just look at this

AU Idea: Griddlehark Bachelorette

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, the Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House, is choosing a spouse on national TV!

Candidates include:

Judith Deuteros! Who doesn't love a girl in uniform? Rumor has it the Reverend Daughter herself considered becoming a military chaplain once upon a time!

Palamedes Sextus! He's intelligent, polite, educated, a talented necromancer -- everything Harrow has said she wants.

Ortus Nigenad! A lifelong family friend and her parents' favored candidate. Will she give him a chance?

Ianthe AND Coronabeth Tridentarius! Not just two beautiful and accomplished young women, but identical twins competing for the hand of the same girl. #DRAMA

Abigail Pent AND Magnus Quinn! A married couple looking for a third. Anonymous sources say Harrowhark may have enough mommy and daddy issues to be swept off her feet by their stability and nurturing affection.

THE SURPRISE CANDIDATE -- Gideon Nav, Harrow's childhood bestie-slash-archnemesis, sweeping in on a cloud of glory from a successful tour in the Cohort to ask How do you like me now?

Who will get a rose, and who will get the boot? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!
