Top 5 most beloved series of all time:

The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare

The Poppy War trilogy by RF Kuang

A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin

Devil’s Night by Penelope Douglas

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

I'm not a big rereader, but I have reread The Last Hours by Cassandra Clare multiple times, and Captive Prince by CS Pacat at least once.

5 Series I'd bring to me on a deserted island (with reasons):

The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien, for hope.

The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, as I’ve only read one book in the series but I wanna read the rest of them sooner than later! Best way to pass the time.

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, to remember humanity.

Foolish Kingdoms by Natalia Jaster, because it’s one of my comfort series.

The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, to reconnect with my youth.

Ruin (Dark Seasons) by Natalia Jaster

I’ve ruminated on this review for a few weeks now. I usually don’t struggle this much with writing reviews but this book blew my mind (in all the best ways) so it has taken me some time to settle my thoughts and put them into some kind of order that would be easy for people to follow. Long story short – I utterly adored this book and no words will do it justice (but I will still try!) Before I…

William John Wainwright (English, 1855-1931) Parable Of The Wise And Foolish Virgins, 1899 Birmingham Museums Trust The parable of the Ten Virgins reinforces the call for readiness in the face of the uncertain time of the return of the Lord. It has been described as a “watching parable.”

About the capybaras

It seems like the whole Island seems to ignore the fact q!Foolish said multiple times that it was the capybaras that CHOOSE him.

They always try to say he "begged" to be their King when in fact the only thing he did was show them kindness and understanding and also asked for their acceptance.

He didn't force them, in fact, when he could just have said he was king of all the capybaras when the first ones said yes he always corrected people and said that he was only said capybaras' king for now.

When Elisangela accepted him as her King, he asked her if she thought the others would accept him, because he cares about them and what they think.

When he got to meet a huge group of them the day he discovered the Capybaras Kingdom, he asked them if they were with the federation and asked their views on it.

He doesn't see the capybaras as just 'weird noisy animals that do silly things'.

He sees them as their own individuals,

He sees them as friends dare I say.

Even in the early days he asked about their hobbies, their 'planet' and worries about them.

When Mr. Mustard was missing, he never lost hope and turned every block, even doing something for the federation in hope of having more informations,

When Elisangela asked him for help for her date with Senhora Neide, he planned a whole picnic spot with his friends and helped boost her confidence by talking about her many trophies because he KNOWS she told him she was a warrior and cares about it.

Even for Pozolito, that seems a lot more hostile and endangered Leo's life at multiple times, he may be more on the fence, but he still includes him, still jokes with him and still cares.

When the never met before xXCapybaraGamingEPIC1337Xx showed up, he instantly took him under his wings and helped him.

When Islanders try to blame something he did with the capybaras, he always say "blame this on me not the capys" because he's the one telling them to do it.

It's the same for every other capybara, even if he knew nothing about them, the simple fact that they exist and hangout with him makes him care for them. When choosing their name he thought really hard about it, asking what they liked and asked their opinion.

The capybaras knows he cares.

They probably also know that their power is immense and being associated with humans could be bad, but they trust him about it.

q!Foolish has in his hands one of the most powerful sides of the Island, he could do so much wrong, but instead he uses his power to include other Islanders when he sees them alone.

The only time he used in a way to harm someone is when they talk bad about the capybaras or his relation to them. Even then he only does a little warning and lets them go.

Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion

👻💜🩵🩶

[fumifooms]

I think some inherent comfort of the party’s relationship, of why they’re so tightly knit and wholesome, is that it’s kinda the embodiment of "people that care for each other unconditionally, so much so that you could be the biggest freak on Earth and they would still not turn their back to you". Like, Laios’ whole character arc is that he was scared of others and their judgement, that he should hide a big part of himself and his interests to be tolerated if not accepted… But showing himself to others was the road through which the party bonded and got closer, and by the end of the story Laios literally turns into his monster because it was his biggest wish and everyone sees it and also he eats his human body a lot. After that he runs to the woods and is so scared of everyone not wanting to see him again, but y’know what. It’s fine his party still loves him, and aghhhh ouch my heart

I think also, Izutsumi was central to the party having a found family feel. The party was mostly made of work colleagues acquaintances, but adopting a stray/teenager that has no one on the way in your grand adventure really makes the whole family vibe skyrocket.

grrr... can't stop thinking about how infatuated my oc is with pure vanilla cookie (and then eventually shadow milk cookie, but he falls for her harder)

pure vanilla is just.. completely oblivious (at first) that she has a crush on him. it doesn't help that pv is more prone to physical affection towards those he calls family and friend.

this man is constantly holding her hand whenever he sees how stressed she is. my poor lavender cookie is burning up in the face whenever he does that or even hugs her 🤭💖

also omg here's a piece I commissioned for these 3!! Art credit to @/bonsiii-art 😭💖💖💕💖💕

LOOK AT THEM!!

[ducksbyday]

HELLO TUMBLR PEOPLE,

Since QSMP is all about globalisation and learning about new cultures and countries, I think this is the perfect opportunity to tell people about most known MC RP series from the Netherlands, by assigning characters from the QSMP to kingdoms!

TLDR: The Kingdom (DDG) was a minecraft survival roleplay server. The server was devided into different kingdoms (hence the name) which were ruled and inhabited by A LOT of different Dutch-speaking creators. The first episode launched in 2012 and the series ended around 2021. It played out in a medieval-fantasy type setting with magic, Goblins/orcs/gods/dragons and a lot lot of war. Most kingdoms even had their own national anthem (or multiple).

vv WHO WOULD BE FROM WHERE vv

Recognised by their half black-stained skin, white glowing eyes and their extensive knowledge (and gift) of magic, the Empire was the main villain of the series. After forcefully being locked away in the Nether for decades, the civilisation made their way back to the surface with only one goal, revenge. Now with access to the Empire Wand, they quickly got damn good at it.

BBH - EMPIRE

I see Q!BBH as someone who could've been apart of this group, but having met someone allong the way that made him change his mind about wanting everything to perish. Due to that he had to flee from the Empire, since they would've never accepted him like that.

The only ally of the Empire. Jenava, also known as the desert rats, were violent and opressive people who underwent a ritual to gain the same power as the Empire. They had access to the Scripts of Jenava: documents kept very secretive, containing secrets about kingdoms, magic and curses. (also it's the kingdom with the best songs ngl.).

BAGI (+ tazercraft & Cellbit) - JENAVA

It wasn't uncommon for people (especially women) to attempt to escape from the kingdom of Jenava. The living conditions were terrible, for registered citizen but also for the natives (Kanta Tribo) who's land was forcefully taken (also later a civil war). I think Q!Bagi could've been one of the people who forcefully underwent the Empire ritual before running away to warn other kingdoms about the situation. Further, the kingdom had ownership of the most secure prison of the whole server ("Fort Forland, the prison island") which is a place Pac, Cellbit and Mike would've fit in perfectly.

Elementos, the kingdom of the Gods. In the story, the wife of King David (Eclypsa) passed away due to illness and became a deity, joining elementos. During the war between Entropia (her husbands kingdom) and Firjen, she sided with Firjen and gifted them 'The dragons of Bovisti', making Firjen "The kingdom of dragons".

FOOLISH - ELEMENTOS

Dragons, gods, a little betrayl and siding with the enemy for funsies. Foolish the totem god with a dragon base, Do I need to say more?

FOREVER - FENRIN

A island cursed hundreds of years ago, turning everyone into werewolves during full moons. They tend to keep to themselves. They used to be a part of the kingdom of Ljord, but fled and now peacefully live on their own, away from dragons and war (kinda).

ROIER - ENTROPIA

I don't really have a good reason for putting him here, it's just kinda a vibe.

Ah Entropia, the kingdom of capitalism and talking shit. With king David as their leader together with Queen/God Eclypsa their main stick was trade, being rich and doing wars. The statue of the Entropian Sword could be seen from miles away, imbedded with emeralds and other richments (making it a big eyesore for the powerhungry kingdom of Jenava). The king of this wonderful empire died once by the hands of the king of Firjen and his dragons. He was sent to Elementos to become a god, but refused because he is a little dumb and very stubborn.

With Roier putting stores all over the place and unnessicarily putting his egg in big danger, I think it's a good fit.

TUBBO & AYPIERRE - MALINO

The kingdom of goblins and mining. They lived in a gigantic hollowed out mountain, rarely coming up to the surface. They were the only kingdom (that I know about) that had a person assigned for redstone contraptions. Tubbo being the create boy with the gigantic tubhole would do well there in my opinion. Also Pierre (and perhaps Felps) would be a very respected citizen with his extensive knowledge of big holes.

ETOILES - THEROS

I personally know very little about Theros, except that they are known for their assassins and lack of kings/emperors. They dissapeared at some point and got taken over by a different kingdom (Magnos). I wish I could to this man more justice :'(

BAGHERA JONES & SLIMECICLE - ATLA

Probably the strangest of all the kingdoms, and also one of my personal favourites. Atla is a kingdom existing of multiple island, mostly known for worshipping chickens.

Their belief is in the two Chicken-gods Kiip & Kalf, together with the golden egg. Killing and eating chickens is illigal on the island, and the king is ready to start war on anyone who tries (besides that they're quite friendly tho :) ).

The golden egg is.. Well.. a large golden egg. It is believed that any attempt on damaging or stealing the egg will curse the person for eternity, giving them everlasting bad luck. This was evantually proven to be true, when Entropia used it to curse another kingdom (Krax).

I feel like Baghera could be a scholar from the island, perhaps a diplomat who'd travel to different kingdoms to exchange information and perhaps spread the good word.

Further, I see Charlie as one of the people that could pull the chicken=god trope of better than anyone. Also seeing the bad luck he's having on the QSMP, I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to take a little nibble of the shiny egg-statue.

I have a lot more people to assign and a lot of kingdoms not mentioned yet (like Kanta Tribo (a native tribe and arch-enemy of Jenava, Firjen, Ljord etc etc.. there were.. So many.). But this would go on for ages and ages so I'll cut it here for now LMAO

I hope you enjoyed this thread and learning something about Dutch youtube culture. It's a series I watched a lot when I was younger, and always seem to stumble back to. It was very well done and to this day one of my favourite things to watch/talk about.

[ziskeyt]

thinking about how, in a lot of fics i’ve read with BotW Link he has a fear of caves. Or, well, trauma around them due to, you know, being dead inside one for a century and locked away.

and then in TotK the world collapsed and suddenly there are caves everywhere. But, they aren’t just new caverns, many of them have ruins inside and I just. I know Link is ~supposed to be a blank slate character~ and all that rot. But like, if this game full of caves and darkness below is supposed to be a sequel to BotW — I dunno. It just feels lacking that we get nothing, no reaction to caves in general, none to what happened to the Shrine, none when you discover what is below the Shrine. I mean, the way they did Link’s reactions to memories in BotW was laughable anyway and obviously I am craving for far more than nintendo will ever give — but what is courage without fear?
