I’m curious what you think of Ephemer’s role in back cover. Not role like the roles the foretellers are formally assigned, I mean like the role he has in the story, if he has one you can pin down
[context: I assume this is jumping off of Fellow’s post :)]
well for starters, I see him as a breath of fresh air in back cover! Chirithy aside (they’re the omniscient narrator), he’s the single face and open heart in a cast full of faceless, closed-off characters. He’s the one child of this particular story within what’s referred to as the age of fairy tales and I think that holds significance, even if it takes more of a backseat to all the stuff the Foretellers have going on.
Ephemer represents the notion, or the hope even, that not all children will blindly accept and obey every story that they’re told. The Dandelions as a whole are essentially children who can get to the core meaning of fairy tales and understand that they exist as a precautionary set of beliefs, not a strict set of rules. Ephemer’s willingness to question what he’s been told (to question the perhaps literal narrative he’s been caught up in) is exactly what inspires Ava to choose him to lead the Dandelions in her stead. Assuming she did want to alter fate/go against the MoM’s narrative, it makes sense why she was so drawn to Ephemer’s sincerity and inquisitive nature even before that scene where they talk at the fountain.
All sorts of stories, but fairy tales in particular, center around children. Children’s literature as a whole provides the foundation for what types of frameworks and ideas children will carry on throughout their lives and apply to the world they live in. With this in mind, the Dandelions are such an interesting part of the MoM’s intricately written story. It’s like they’re the very audience he was writing for, and he has a fascination with the ways they poke holes in and constantly challenge his narrative, which could be why he assigned Luxu to keep a close eye (his eye) on them.

Hello! Random whipper snipper! Share a WIP of your work!
ooh, with pleasure. six the musical araleyn fanart? in the year 2k24? more likely than you think xDD
i realize this looks finished, but technically i'm still deciding whether to add a background or not lol. still, for the sake of sharing a proper WIP, here's a line or two from an araleyn brainworm WIP that i started reworking yesterday (mild tw for religious guilt and period-typical internalized homophobia from aragon's pov):
She remembers sharing her bed with Anne at Henry's behest, remembers the nights of tossing and turning and trying not to think about Anne asleep next to her-- remembers waking up to dark hair spilling across her pillow and the press of blood-warm bosoms against her own, softer than sin, as hot as the Devil, remembers lying still as death, mouthing prayers into the heat of Anne's neck like an act of penance.

Scale of one to ten, how mad do you think Kohga is when, after he describes his/the Clan’s long, difficult work to figure out how to use Zonai tech, to collect charges, and to reconstruct a mighty ancient construct to gift to Lord Ganon, and after he debuts said amazing piece of engineering (which he’s even dressed up to show it’s special and his)*…
Link can just stand back and let his own mech, that he built in like two days tops and that is powered by a sage who barely knows him and is following him more or less blindly because he’s the Princess’s Chosen Hero…
Bop his creation repeatedly with a spiky metal ball (his own signature weapon)?
Because I think the answer is over 9000.
This is the mask of a man having a breakdown.

Ocon was under the impression they'd be trading off the heavier chassis and they just said 'haha naw' and kept the lighter one with Pierre
EDIT: Different stations are reporting this information in conflicting ways, so don't take this as news or anything. Not sure WHO is running with the heavier chassis right now.

gg here love
i have this oomf who is daily reading cards for what is going to happen in the fandom
you have to know im very superstitious like VERY i believe in karma destiny and tarot so when oomf’s card keep telling them that we should stop being petty and gloat at bt dismay i believe it because again im superstitious
so im going to be petty here in the anonymity of this ask box
how is possible that we always keep winning like the day started with 911bts sharing that hangar pic with them gloating for nothing and then we had 911bts clarifying that they are just scouting for locations meaning they didn’t film anything in that location, then that pic with ryan and kenny’s chairs near some part of a plane and then that video for peter bday featuring tracie and not him (since they were saying how tommy deserve the main role more than karen)
like every little bit of “””hope””” they have its gets shattered every single time and i think we deserve it since we got to share this hiatus with them being the most unhinged
from one side we have mark on twt and reddit resembling a schizophrenic with voices and news from cousin, creating double accounts just to have someone on reddit and posting twt like:
“I think we got enough PROOF to know Lou is in s8, I think it's best he's stays hidden from the vultures until he can't anymore.”
and on the other hand we have alyssa
Hi love 🩷
That is true, it's kinda crazy that they can't hold on to a "win" for more than 24 before something disproves them or we get something better. And honestly, between Mark and Alyssa, we're in a very diverse type of hell.
