#I'm so sorry Sylvia

[theghostwrites]

went into The Bell Jar tag to reblog a few quotes, maybe even some artsy edits and all I found were a bunch of completely unrelated desaturated images of conventionally pretty skinny white women in objectifying outfits and poses... and diet Cokes?? I thought the feminist interpretation of the harmful constraints of feminity was the most relevant possible interpretation of this book but apparently, it's not?? what the fuck is a coquette????

has this been done yet

‘An elf attends a human banquet, even the imperial banquet? Was there a precedent for that? No, was that request accepted?’ ‘This is great resourcefulness. ‘I want to learn too.’ Everyone was amazed. And looked forward to it. Today, how will the crown prince capture the heart of the elf he invited to the banquet hall? Perhaps an unprecedented elf empress will be brought into the Magentano royal family.

i mean. yeah. but you're thinking of the wrong brother :/

“I took an arrow to the heart,

I never kissed a mouth that tastes like yours,

Strawberries and something more,

Ooh yeah, I want it all,

Lipstick on my guitar,

Fill up the engine, we can drive real far,

Go dancing underneath the stars,

Ooh yeah, I want it all,

You got me feeling like-

I wanna be that guy,

I wanna kiss your eyes,

I wanna drink that smile,

I wanna feel like I’m, like my soul’s on fire,

I wanna stay up all day and all night,

Yeah, you got me singing like-

Ooh, I love it when you do it like that,

And when you’re close up, gives me the shivers,

Oh baby, you wanna dance ‘til the sunlight cracks,

And when they say the party’s over then we’ll bring it right back,

And we’ll say “ooh, I love it when you do it like that,”

And when you’re close up, gives me the shivers,

Oh baby, you wanna dance ‘til the sunlight cracks,

And when they say the party’s over then we’ll bring it right back,”

For the headcanon about our muses relationship: Sylvia didn't mean to have Roman wrapped around her finger, but she does. - @shinebrightsweetdove

Send a headcanon you have about our muses’ relationship and I’ll tell you if I approve of it or not.  

It’s true! Roman tends to be like this in relationships regardless but here it’s so true it wouldn’t even be funny. He’s a sucker for pretty eyes and a pretty face.

[ it's a canteen of water. diluc knows all too well what tiredness after a hard day's work looks like --- for sylvie !! ]

⠀⠀⠀⠀the movement in front of sylvia distracts from her own void of thoughts, and she looks down on what it is. truthfully, she hadn't been really thinking about anything but she was rather zoned out, her thoughts were non-existent. her consciousness was there, just need someone for her to bring her back to teyvat. she notices the jug of water, her dehydration had quickly risen from a quiet background song to a loud bard's lyrics. her throat is dry and sore and she looks up to the person who paid attention enough to offer her water when she didn't really ask anything (alcohol is not her thing, she avoids it). she was just sitting in the tavern to relax, despite the noisy background.

⠀⠀⠀⠀sylvia looks up to see one of mondstadt's strongest and wealthiest man across her, she doesn't need to be from mondstadt to know this. it's funny how she reacts a second later, she wasn't expecting to see him──as if he doesn't own the tavern himself. the shock registered on her face before she could hide it──even if she could, it wouldn't be worth it. she is at a loss for words, but manages to stutter out his name. "master diluc?!" she heard much about him, rumors and tales from working in knights of the favonius, so finally seeing him in person, sylvia is rather excited.

Spy x Family volume 12 omake chapter translation and new pages

Volume 12 of the SxF manga was just released and it included a hilarious extra chapter about Anya and Becky's zoo visit! Here are my translations (I only have MS Paint so sorry for the poor editing!)

(shoutout to RAF on Discord for providing the raw images!)

This was such a great extra chapter, not just because Anya and Becky are hilarious as ever, but as usual, even in a humorous situation, Endo manages to slip in a serious theme without disrupting the comedy. This actually reminds me of a story my mom told me where, back when she was a kid in the 50s/60s, she went to a similar zoo exhibit that featured "the most dangerous animal of all," but inside was just a mirror.

I hope Endo had fun drawing lots of different animals! 😁

In addition to the omake chapter, the volume also features a few new illustrations.

Sylvia is on the cover and, keeping in line with Endo's tradition of showcasing the characters' inner/true selves on the inside cover, that's also what we have for her here!

I'm planning to pick up my own copy of the volume this weekend 😀

[honeysparklesmash]

I'm here but not here (sorry that there are no drawings for so long, it's almost 40 days before the exam immmmm nervousss)

Sylvia for you

Runaway

Pairing: Jenna Ortega x fem!reader

Summary: you end up in a city you hate but maybe the company makes it worth the while.

Words: 1.3k

Warnings: none?

a/n: this is my first time writting for Jenna and english is not my first language so keep that in mind <3

It was 4am and you were stranded at the airport. your flight was delayed due to a raging storm and you decided to stay the night instead of booking a room. you were used to airports by now anyway.

Your job required you to travel a lot. You were a firefighter and you also worked as a volunteer with the IFRA (International Fire and Rescue Association) so yes, you spent a lot of time wandering around airports.

You were training some mexican units and the weather was horribly hot, so as soon as the job was finished you found yourself desperate to find a way back home. You knew there would be no direct flights from Mexico to Iceland in fucking November so you settled for a connecting flight via New York.

That's how you ended up slouched over a small table questioning every decision you ever made.

You knew the weather in Iceland, you weren't born there but it was the place you proudly called home. So you knew this storm could either be over in a few hours or block all the flights for at least a week. You didn't like that thought though.

You looked around and saw a large group of people walking towards some free seats near you so you made the smart decision of getting up and gathering your small suitcase and the book you were reading. You were not in the mood for chatting with strangers and you felt the need to move your legs anyway so you plugged your headphones in and started walking with no direction in mind. You found a much quieter and less crowded corner and you unconsciously sped up in hopes to get there before someone could spot the couple of empty chairs under some burnt lights. You were lost in your thoughts and inmersed in the music until someone bumped into your side, throwing you off balance and making you drop your book. You turned around to see a small figure crouching over and picking up your book.

"I'm sorry" it was a beautiful voice.

She looked at you and smiled and you just froze.

"Sylvia Plath, huh?" she smiled and your eyes became fixated in the small dimples on her cheeks.

You just nodded, somehow keeping a sense of calmness in your words when you spoke.

"Would say it's my toxic trait but I like to think it's more like my biggest flex."

She laughed and you found yourself unable to look away from her.

"I'm Jenna" she simply said, extending her hand.

"I know" you answered meeting her hand in a soft handshake. "I'm Y/N."

She just smiled, not breaking eye contact.

"It's a beautiful name" she said, disentangling your hands. "Now, Y/N, please tell me we can share that secluded corner for awhile?" she sounded a little desperate despite the playful tone and the lingering smile.

You motioned for her to go ahead and she took a couple steps forward before looking back at you.

"You coming?" her smile made you feel warm inside.

You followed her and sat in one of the chairs, ready to pull your phone out and go back to your playlist.

"There you go" Jenna said handing you the book. "Did you get here too soon too?"

You frowned at her shaking your head.

"My flight was delayed" you answered. "When's yours supposed to take off?"

"In a couple of hours" she said tiredly.

You couldn't help but laugh, earning a fierce glare from Jenna. "She looks cute" you thought.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" you said, still laughing a little.

"No, you're not" she retorted with a smile. "So… Where are you flying, Y/N?" She asked curious.

"Iceland" you said with a happy sigh. " But seems like the weather doesn't like my plans."

"Sure" she snorted. "Iceland seems like an amazing destination, though. Business or pleasure?"

"Neither" you said "well, for pleasure I guess."

She looked at you with a weird look, like she was trying to decipher some kind of mystery.

You cleared your throat and tried to explain.

"I live there. Well, at least when I'm not working or on a mission. I usually go visit whenever I have a few days off."

"A mission?" she said, as if it was the only thing she heard.

"Yeah, well" you touched the back of your neck, unsure. "I'm a firefighter so sometimes we volunteer to go on training or rescue missions."

"Really?" she said, her eyes shinning with a strange glimmer in them.

You nodded, not knowing what to say.

"And you live in Iceland? Whoah" she gestured with her hands while mouting the word "mindblowing".

You had to laugh at that.

"Yeah, but I spend most of the year working on England or traveling, you know" you explained.

She nodded at that.

"Seems like your full of surprises, Y/N" she smiled at you.

You checked the time on your phone only to be met with a notification saying "CANCELLED FLIGHT 18-705".

"Fuck" you cursed under your breath. "They cancelled my flight."

Jenna looked at you serious but didn't say anything until she saw you getting up from the chair.

"Where are you going?" she asked scrunching her face.

"It's almost 6am, I'm getting you to your boarding gate and then I'm calling a friend to see if I can crash at her place" you explained with a smile.

Without saying anything she got up aswell and checked her phone for the info she needed then she started walking toward the gate without much thought.

Until some guy grabbed her arm and started screaming about how he got so lucky to run into THE Jenna Ortega. Her face was showing clear signs of discomfort and… pain? Was the guy hurting her? You inmediately stepped toward them and took his wrist in your hand and with just enough force you made him let go of her.

He wasn't happy, the looks he was giving you made it clear but he wouldn't try anything by the slight fear in his eyes.

"Maybe you should try asking first next time" you said coldly before leading Jenna away from him.

She was quiet and wouldn't look at you and you wondered if she was maybe angry because of what you did?

"I'm sorry, I was out of place but he seemed like a bit too much" you started, smiling tentatively. "I'm really so…"

"Don't be" she cut you off, still not looking at you. "He took me by surprise" she admitted. "Thank you" she continued lifting her face to look at you with some sense of… fondness?

She seemed genuinely grateful and you couldn't shake the feeling that accompained the thought of this kind of situation happening to her everyday.

"It was nothing" you said shrugging it off.

You continued walking toward her boarding gate in a comfortable silence.

"This is me" she said with a nervous smile.

"Be safe" you said. "Have a nice flight, Jenna."

You turned to leave but her voice made you stop.

"Wait" you turned again, now facing her. "Thank you, Y/N."

You smiled at her starting to walk backwards as people you assumed wanted to board the very same plane started filling the space and when you could no longer see her you turned fully determined to find the exit and then call Gio to ask for a ride and a couch to crash on.

Meanwhile, Jenna got seated on the plane when a thought came into her mind.

She forgot to ask for your phone number!!

HOTD s2x03

The scene with Helaena and Jaehaera is my favorite. Helaena loves her daughter so much and smiles at her. I'm happy.

Thanks to the writers that Helaena didn’t go crazy, which means there will be more of her in subsequent episodes and seasons, I’m so glad about that. Helaene is so thoughtful and wise - she is a true queen.

Helaena was able to forgive Alicent for forcing her to participate in a public funeral, for what she was doing during the murder of her grandson, and also, I am sure, Helaena forgives Alicent for forcing her to repeat her fate, for forced Helaena to marry an unloved man who ignores her and considers her an idiot.

I am very happy that Helaena and Alicent relationship has improved. Alicent really needed forgiveness.

Thanks to Rhaenys for saying that Luke cut out Aemond's eye and that was the beginning of the end. Some people can "laugh" all they want about Alicent writing letters to Rhaenyra, but Rhaenyra didn't write a single letter to Alicent or HER BROTHER after what happened to his eye. She just wanted to torture (sharply questioned) the one-eyed CHILD.

Poor Dyana, I feel so sorry for her, if it weren’t for Aegon, she would have worked in the castle, which is many times safer. She personifies all women of that time. With a 99.999% probability, if you end up in this world, then her fate awaits you. You will just try to survive.

I really didn't want to watch the scene with Aemond in the brothel, because I knew what was waiting for me. I feel so sorry for Aemond, he suffers from Stockholm Syndrome towards Sylvia (Madame). Aegon brought him to a brothel at the age of 13, when he was still a child, Aemond survived violence and the fact that he, as a teenager at the age of 16-18, comes to Madame, I think this is either Stockholm syndrome, or a desire to cope with his childhood trauma , he is trying to accept what happened to him. This is really a twisted "therapy" and I'm not entirely sure that Aemond and Sylvia had sex, I'm more inclined to think that he was just laying there because he's so emotionally repressed. I believe that he also came to her and only her, because he has complexes about his appearance and he is sure that he scares other ladies, and Sylvia has already seen his scar.

In this episode, Aegon himself confirmed to us that he stopped coming to the brothel, which means Madame didn’t lie, which means Errick didn’t lie and Aegon was really present at children’s fights.

Aegon remains the "ugly" brother. He continues to humiliate Aemond. Aegon has caused his brother trauma that he cannot overcome. He humiliates Aemond all his life and, since he has a crown on his head, he will not stop humiliating, bullying and treat him like property. This is so unbearable and unfair.

Aemond, I support you. Break an egg and make yourself some scrambled eggs.

Aemond the fierce - I like it.

I'm glad Aemond and Madame's story is over. Aemond returned to reality.

I'm looking forward to Helaemond in episodes 6-8. Aemond and Helaena must heal each other.

Jace kissed only his brother Joffrey, but did not say goodbye to Aegon 3 and Viserys 2. He doesn't really care about them.

Gwayne is such a fool. My respect for Criston is gradually returning, it’s a pity that only in such a contrast. Now I understand that Aegon is like Gwayne.

Daemon suffering from the murder of Jaehaerys - I don't believe it. He wants to kill his brother’s children because their grandfather is Otto and so that he and Rhaenyra have no rivals. You won't fool me.

Rhaenyra says that Viserys loved Alicent - no, that's not true. He only loved you and Daemon; he didn't care about other children.

Rhaenyra swore by the memory of her mother that she was still a virgin - a lie.

Alicent swears on the memory of her mother, because she really believes in the words of Viserys, she understood him that way and she is not deceiving. Alicent could end the war now, sorry, but I had to say it. She could scream and Rhaenyra would be caught, or come to a common decision with her. Choose what you like best.

Alicent talks about Aemond as a monster, clearly your golden boy is no longer "golden" and you just abandon him without trying to understand. What kind of mother are you? You forgot that your "friend" wanted to torture your 10 year old son.

I don’t know how to react to their scene; I should have tried to establish relationships earlier, when the children were little. If Rhaenyra had told Alicent about her relationship with Criston, it would have brought them closer together and Alicent would have understood and supported her. One lodge destroyed everything. It's not Alicent's fault that Viserys chose her as his wife. Alicent came to Viserys because she had no choice and her upbringing did not allow her to refuse her parents.
