ik we haven't even decided the laws or how exactly the government works yet, but I think our national flower should be the King's lomatia.

it is one of many flowers that reproduce asexually, (heres a reddit thread with a bunch of other ones: https://www.reddit.com/r/botany/comments/18pzbid/are_there_any_plant_species_that_only_reproduce/ )

and it is a flower so it is already aro.

The King's Lomatia is officially the national flower of the AroAce Spec Empire!

Also it looks really pretty-

Fuck I can’t sleep because I keep thinking of what happened in Empire of Storms

The part where the Blackbeak Matron revealed who and what Manon is…

“You are a Crochan.”

“And you’re going to die like one of them by the time I’m finished with you.”

I mean, she knew all along what Manon was and she kept that to herself for a hundred and seventeen years. Just… molding Manon into a monster that would do her bidding. But this is all she saw her as- she never cared for her or loved her. And Manon has lived her whole life trying to impress this woman who never saw her more than a mere tool. Probably satisfied with how she turned her against her own blood, her own people without her realizing it.

I mean, Manon killed Rhiannon without asking any questions. She does what her grandmother wants, no questions asked. And that woman never acknowledged it, she never let on that Manon has done the right thing or anything like it.

Honestly, her grandmother never loved her while she spent her whole life trying to gain her approval. The Matron only saw her as a Crochan that she can use for her own sick enjoyment.

c!Jack and E²!Jimmy are so. Real to me. Both want respect and recognition and authority of some kind. Very defensive and think maybe a bit *too* highly of themselves at times but really, overall, they just want company and friends and to be included.

Joel and Jimmy’s ‘rivalry’ reminds me a lot of Jack and Tommy’s rivalry. It’s a bit different (for very obvious reasons), and it’s kinda in reverse with how Joel and Jimmy become friends and Jack and Tommy fall out of their friendship. But they’re just. So different but hold themselves in very similar ways. Different situations entirely yet very reactive and *self aware that they’re being mistreated* yet unsure how to accurately express it so what they *do* do to solve the issue just makes it worse.

With the villain arc stuff- very similar reasons!! Jack wanted to be noticed and accepted/listened to by Tommy *(also wanted to kill him but-).* Jimmy wants respect, to be looked at as a human and NOT A TOY. They want love and companionship and friends and joy and good times and they’re not getting that and they just, know they deserve it. It’s why they both fight so hard.

GOD AND WITH THEIR DEATHS. Jack dying *so* much, Jimmy always dying first in Life Series. Jack unable to die completely and crawling himself out of hell, Jimmy being stuck in The Void (or spectating) when he does eventually die. Death is such an important characteristic for both of them..

Sitting and thinking about it for a moment it just- Jack and Jimmy both go to great lengths to try and put themselves on the same playing field as their counterparts.

They both seem like people pleasers who never get what the give? It waiting to get something before giving and just.. never getting anything so they give anyways.

Jimmy with how he gives free Gunpowder to the people who respect him and the Law, for example. It’s like he’s trying to bribe them to make sure they stay allianced with him. And how Jack, despite all his hatred and anger for Tommy, still goes and helps whenever he’s asked. Not even asked, actually! Whenever he knows that doing something would help Tommy in some way he’d do it.

They’re seem like the comedic outcasts. Jack obviously doesn’t get looked at seriously and neither does Jimmy. It’s why their villains arcs are so… faulty. No one takes them or their reasoning for snapping seriously.

Now I know today is the major eclipse but let’s not forget what else is today…

Happy Rex Manning Day!

Something something Thomas Jopson lived his whole life performing society keeping things straight being respectable and in his last death vision he was so desperate and so sick that he crawled across a table he may have well set just to get to his Captain - he trusted that Crozier cared more for him than the preservation of his authority at the table he trusted that Crozier would love him despite abandoning his work to ruin the feast he trusted Crozier to accept him as he was, soul to dying soul, stripped of all society - he didn't see his mother or his brother he saw a Crozier who cared for him as a man, not a steward. Whatever! Yeah!

Often yearning for the admiration and approval of my Spamano mutuals, but I just realized that wanting Ilich's approval and applause supercedes that, which is achieved by tying Antonio up like a piñata and hitting him with sticks and there's no happy end.

bee is this a sign

I have no idea but you should take it as one
