i have this really stupid idea in my head that im frankly a little obsessed with and the idea is this: trent crimm doing a drunk history episode on ted lasso's first tenure at richmond. is that how drunk history works? i don't think so. do i care? absolutely not. it's a special episode who cares because this image is not only hysterical to me but treasured. i treasure this image. i hold it close in my heart and also laugh and laugh and laugh.

Mark Alan, Count of Queanbeyan

+ explanation & lore

Okay first I'll explain the drawing itself, and then go into Mark's lore a bit, so stay with me!!!

First of all, yep. Mark with long hair. When I first conceptualized how he'd look in this au, I just genuinely could not imagine him with the typical long curly wig. And that irked me, bcs its just sooooooo historically inaccurate for him to have had short hair, no wig. I sketched him and Jense out as chibis, I drew Mark with short hair, and literally wrote "haha wow he looks so bad with long hair!!" Hello, can I take back that statement? It's actually shocking how good he looks???? Maybe it's a testament to my skill that I could make this work. But I did! And man, shameful to admit, but this might be my best portrait ever 😭😭 Funny tho, guy I've barely drawn, and never as detailed as this, ends up being one of my favs. Mark, you bastard!!

^ lmao as you can see, I tried out a more Seb type wig and then realized ahhhhh nah, he needs a different style. And it worked so, yay!!! I've thought a lot recently, "man it would suck back then if you looked shitty in a wig" and I rescind that. I'm telling you, you think a man would look bad in a wig? I say think again, you're just not conceptualizing the right type of wig for him.

Also wow, its crazy thst I can finally actually visually see what he would look like next to others like Seb and Fernando in this au. Hehehe look at them!!! The boys!!!! Just need Jense :,)

Anyways, I digress, some lore notes about Mark since I don't think I've really talked about him in this au on main much.

He is, of course, Seb's closest servant. His Groom of the Bedchamber(yes that term makes me feel rabid.) He's actually also based on a real guy, whom was described as the Emperor's "favorite" and despite not technically having very important positions, he had a lot of influence because of his closeness and connection with the Emperor. So, yeah, I think that's gives a pretty good pic of Mark in this au :)

He's actually pretty satisfied with his role, but he does feel a bitter and jealous when interacting with others like Jenson and Fernando. Because Mark doesn't have a title, well not in the same way. He's a count, not a King, not a Prince. Yes he's nobility, but not in the same way. And he's satisfied being under Seb, because that's what Mark was raised to do, take care of and keep Seb in line. But often realizes he's never going to be on par with him, not in the same way Fernando can, even if he's Seb's closest confidant.

To build on that. He's very satisfied with his role, and even continues to be satisfied when Fernando comes into the picture. Fernando and Seb don't get along, Mark is always going to be the closest to Seb, always going to know him the best, take care of him the best. But he realizes, he would never get to marry Seb, he's not ranked high enough for that. He was raised to do what's best for the Emperor, he's never going to be able to compete with Seb the same way Fernando can. He really wants Seb and Fernando to succeed! To grow closer! But it still really hurts sometimes.

His closest friend, other than Seb, is Jenson of course(and eventually Fernando, after they stop growling at each other like they're Seb's dogs.) But he does get bitter about Jenson sometimes. Jenson is a prince, who had some great performances in battle. But eventually got tired of that lifestyle, and "retired" to being part of Seb's court. Mark can't really understand that. How do you throw that level of prestige and freedom away. How do you just become the Emperor's servant, when that was never what you were born for. But also, I think Jense definitely uplifts him, they just get along so well, and Jense truly cares for him, no other motives :)

LOL sorry I realize how depressing this sounds 😭 I think all of the above is just Mark at his most bitter, but he's genuinely pretty happy. Think of the whole "not bad for a number 2 driver thing", that's him in this AU. He knows his station, and god damn it, he's gonna be the best, most loyal groom there ever was!! He just cares for Seb so deeply, and it truly is his life path to serve him. Seb cares for him too, feels like he can always rely on him and always be reassured by him and his eternal presence in Seb's life. It's nice to have someone you can always fall back on. Sometimes literally. Yes he makes Mark carry him to bed.

Not to stray away from just Mark, but aaaaahhh the Martian in this AU. Just Mark having to put up with Seb's brattiness all the time, and care for him all the time :) He's so tired of catching Seb naked tho...Seb please put clothes on, this is not befitting of your station. Seb takes Mark with him everywhere, and they share the same bed on trips. Mark is always the first Seb goes to to ask his opinion. I said earlier that Mark feels like he cannot challenge Seb in the same way Fernando can, but Seb really wants him to honestly! He loves hearing Mark's thoughts and opinions. Mark is widely known as Seb's favorite, and is often seen as the second authority in the palace and in the court.

As for Webbonso? I think they really dislike each other in the beginning just because the roles that they're in. They both feel like they're pitted against each other, and ir doesn't help that Seb loves to tease them and often favor one in front of the other(he later realizes how shitty this is, and tries to rectify it, because he never intended to make them actually jealous, he just loves being bratty.) Eventually they realize they're in extremely similar situations(both beholden to and stuck eternally with the Emperor), and find comfort in each other in that.

Yep that's right...the palace is honestly one big polycule djkfkglg. But I hope thay explains Mark in this AU well enougg???? All you need to know: Seb's long-suffering servant.

MUSE: SŌJIRŌ KUSAKA

OVERVIEW

Name: Sōjirō Kusaka Alias’s: N/A Race: Hollow-Soul Hybrid Gender: Male Age: 150 ~ Height: 6'1" (186 cm) Eye-Color: Red Orientation: Bisexual / Biromantic Residence: Hueco Mundo, World of the Living Occupation: -- MBTI: – ENNEAGRAM: – ALIGNMENT: Neutral Evil

PERSONALITY

Calculating, power hungry, mischievous, scheming, and unhinged at times in the present day, Kusaka was once someone who wanted nothing more than to protect and preserve the Soul Society, and to some extent he still does, being something of an idealist at heart (a twisted one maybe). After Kusaka's unjust trial and execution at the behest of Central 46, however, he's become bitter toward the Soul Society, and feels a strong desire to tear down it's governing entities, both as an act of revenge, and with a desire to install himself as it's new ruler, where he will (in his own mind) run things better than Central 46 or the Nobility ever could. That bitterness has also caused Kusaka to become less ethical, more sinister, and more malicious, as he is now being exceptionally prone to taking lives, general violence, manipulation, and all-around being more driven by a 'ends justify the mean's' sort of approach to his actions.

In his youth, before his troubles with Central 46, Kusaka was also lively, collected, bright, confident, magnetic, and harmlessly competitive, which lent to him being well liked among his fellow Academy members. While Kusaka can still be some of those things at times, these days they are usually fronts to obscure both his more sinister facets and the deep melancholy he feels at the core of his being, all of which was brought on by the traumatic circumstances surrounding him, Toshiro Hitsugaya, Central 46, and the life he then had to endure in Hueco Mundo after his rebirth. Kusaka's "facade" also masks the wealth of insecurities that lurk within him, ranging from issues of trust and loneliness, to deep seated feelings of inferiority.

STORY

There was a time, long ago, where Kusaka was counted among the many denizens of Rukongai, and though his beginnings were seemingly humble, he found his way into the Shin'o Academy, where he had hoped to one day join the Gotei 13, and beyond that, one day become a Captain.

The Academy life wasn't easy, but Kusaka advanced through his classes, and made a handful of friends, most notable among them being Toshiro Hitsugaya. Kusaka would develop a sort of rivalry with Toshiro, but the two would become fast friends, and for a time they stood as beacons, as shining stars that could illuminate the Soul Society's future-- a shame then, that Kusaka's star was fated to fall.

There were aspects of Kusaka's origins that he couldn't know, there were things within him that he would never have assumed, but there were people who did know of these things, and they had been looking for him since he emerged in Rukongai.

When Kusaka strangely appeared to commune with the same Zanpakuto Spirit as Toshiro Hitsugaya, and imprint the very same essence upon his Asauchi, questions were raised, attention was finely honed on him, attention that would see his life torn apart.

There were never truly any laws against two Shinigami possessing the same Zanpakuto Spirit, (if only because such a thing had never happened in the history of the Soul Society, by all means it should have been impossible) but the individuals who had been looking for Kusaka would use this as a justification for seeking their death all the same.

That's why Kusaka was dragged, along with Toshiro, to the Central 46 Court Chambers, and why a 'duel' was held that would determine who would truly own Hyorinmaru. The duel was a farce of course, Kusaka was never meant to survive, and even as Toshiro refused to continue the fight beyond a few bouts, the individuals who had for so long sought Kusaka out had the Onmitsukido move in and finish him off.

The trauma Kusaka endured in those final moments, the knowledge that he had sworn his allegiance to the Soul Society, and had given them everything he had, only to be betrayed by them like this, and in his mind, betrayed by his dearest friend as well… Kusaka died in a pit of agonizing despair.

That was a long time ago, however, and death, as it turned out, wasn't fated be Kusaka's final stop. Since being reborn among the sands of Hueco Mundo through the efforts of forces far greater than himself, far greater than even those in the Soul Society who had clamored for Kusaka's death, he has stalked the three worlds, he has planned, and he has grown stronger.

After scrounging together a group followers, aligning himself with other like-minded individuals, and finally getting a hold of the Ōin (the very entity that had seen him reborn), Kusaka now stands with two goals; bring hell down upon those who turned their back on him, and change the Soul Society forever.

ABILITIES,SKILLS

Master Swordsman: Even before fully mastering his sword's power, Kusaka has showed himself to be a highly proficient swordsman, and could easily cross blades with and outperform the likes of the Soul Society's most skilled Captain's. Kusaka is able to wield his Zanpakuto with great speed and strength too, and is infamous for being a difficult opponent to counter in melee on account of his ruthless, unpredictable, and highly efficient method of swordplay.

Keen Intellect/Perceptive Combatant: Kusaka has proven to be very intelligent, designing in depth plans and predicting future situations with near 100% accuracy. Kusaka prefers to learn much about his opponents before ever engaging them, too something he's patient and capable enough to do with ease, though he is also capable of discerning much about his opponents and combat situations on the fly, paying close attention to the flow of battle and the moves his opponents make.

Shunpo Expert: Kusaka is highly skilled in the art of Hoho, and his Shunpo. Kusaka can easily keep up with and at times outdo the likes of a Hollow-Masked Ichigo, or Toshiro, though people the likes of Soifon are still able to outclass him.

Immense Spiritual Power: While not having an official rank as a Shinigami, Kusaka has spiritual energy that appears to be that of beyond captain-level, with his Reiatsu being described as "incredible", and being enough to startle Captain-level opponents upon first encountering them. This should be no surprise, as Kusaka is now a hybrid being, and beyond that, he was resurrected the Ōin, who's energies now course through him. Kusaka's Reitatsu bears a lilac hue.

I bought a 40" wig and I just got it and tried it on and DAMN! THIS SHITS LONG! that's literally the point but STILL!! DAMNN

[tidalpools]

been considering so many cosplays esp couple ones and like. if your hair is the same color as the character's i genuinely feel like there is no need to go all out on styling or to wear a wig...

[the-valiant-valkyrie]

thinking about singing in a choir/group in comparison to singing solo/accompanied by music and just thinking abt how comparatively different that is. an orchestral backup to a solo song is nice- and takes a lot of dedication to perfect, certainly- but you will always be missing the synergy that comes with singing with other people. the synchronous intake of breath, the way vocal harmonies hum through the air in a way humans were biologically designed to pay keen attention to. the control and perfection of sound with your body instead of just your hands and limbs, and the perpetual awareness that you're operating in sync with a handful or tens or even a large group of people.

anyways. thinking abt how wigfrid's 'spellbinding' singing voice absolutely did NOT come out of the blue. thinking about how she probably started singing alongside some sort of group before moving to actressing and spending the rest of her career and the rest of her life before the constant singing and being completely alone.
