#every empire falls

It’s so funny when people on TT are like “Oh Velvet and Veneer should’ve won”

Because when you really think about it, they kinda did.

Velvet desperately wanted to be famous (and Veneer wanted to make her happy) and in the song Mount Rageous she says “baby remember my name” several times, and the background vocals start chanting “remember” over and over, as if to cement this.

But like, Mount Rageons *are* gonna remember that scandal forever.

Because imagine if someone like Taylor Swift was outed as a fake during the Eras tour. People would NEVER stop talking about it. There’d be so many documentaries, video essays, articles, etc.

And ppl would STILL listen to her music, because that’s how stan culture works.

I’m not trying to pick on Swifties, I’m just using it as an example to show that Velvet and Veneer will be talked about by Mt. Rageons for decades to come.

Since youve mentioned you tend to not actually find one half of your otp interesting on their own, what inspires you to ship something?

Very good question! And the answer is quite simple:

What inspires me is the dynamic between the characters, the relationship and how it would play out for both of them indivudually, so they would grow as a person.

I also used to ship GerIta a lot while Germany was/is actually my least favourite character but what drew me in was the dynamic and how both characters could bring the best out of each other in my mind. And as a result the characters I don't enjoy THAT much on their own, also become more enjoyable for me with the change and influence of the other half of the pair.

And the same principle works for TeuTemp. I like to imagine that Gabriel's/Knights Templar's presence brings out the best out of Gilbert and in return Gilbert's "flaws" and strenghts could also bring the best out of Gabriel (since I hc Gabriel to not state his opinion a lot and be more of a people pleaser while Gilbert would even tell the pope to shut up if he doesn't like sth with no remorse at all). They're learning from each other's streghts and weaknesses, from their best and their worst and I enjoy the principle that even characters I'd personally insult a lot, still get genuinely loved by someone.

Also, for every ship where I'm not interested in one half of the pair, there is always a third wheeler shitting on both (Romano for GerIta, Joan/Knights Hospitaller for TeuTemp) and idk I think that's funny.

RIP Krakoa 🌹 I can’t lie I’ve been kinda behind since midway through Fall of X I’m gonna catch up before my first SDCC this summer but I hear Vulcan didn’t see much action anyway. Anyway my hand slipped and I found myself looking into the eyes of my canonically psychotic son the best Summers brother who’s never done anything wrong in his entire life, (he’s done lotsa wrong things but I love him more for it)

I started to write a post speculating on a possible timeline for the next season of Die Kaiserin but I stopped because I realized that it was literally just what I wanted to happen loll anyway actual speculation:

Season 2 will cover the births of Baby Sophie and Gisela, Max marriage to Charlotte (let's pray for our girl) and FJ infidelities (this was already hinted in the last season). The main conflict will be Lombardy-Venice, with FJ and Max disagreeing on how to rule the province and the growing scalation of political tension until the 1859 war. Given they made Max evil I have no idea how they will tackle this but we'll see. Now my biggest doubt is if they'll keep Baby Sophie's death in 1857 (so probably mid-season) or if they'll move it up to be the season finale like the RTL series did.

Oh and also they'll hint at Mexico by the end of the season but my guess is that Max won't become emperor until season 3 (if we actually get it).

Empiresblr: Oh my god. I am so HYPED for Jimmy’s villain arc he hinted at this episode! It’s been a long time coming and after all the character had been though, I can’t wait to see how The Sheriff takes his revenge!

Did you ever hear of the unused sequel outlines where Luke would have successfully restored the Jedi Order and Leia became chancellor of the New Republic?

every day ........ every day I poder the question what would happen if star wars was good actually

[layzeal]

like i just can't get these images of the nitzana border out of my brain. "no aid for the enemy" written in plain english to announce to the world they're proud to be starving the people they've kept imprisoned for decades. the cotton candy machine. the children. without context you'd think it's just a bunch of families gathering for a picnic
