#grace’s asks

[gracehosborn]

Have you come across any research or evidence suggesting that James Hamilton is not Hamiltons father?

Hey, Anon!

There’s no evidence for this. Just a bunch of theories. Namely that Alexander Hamilton and his childhood friend, Edward Stevens, looked a lot alike according to contemporary accounts (although we don’t have a portrait of Stevens so *shrug*) and therefore it’s theorized they could be half-siblings, but there’s no actual evidence for this either.

Hey! We have some common interests I think...I love all things Grishaverse and Kanej is awesome....it's a pleasure!

i don’t think the big three kids are actually banned from teaming up during capture the flag. i think the stipulation is that they have to take the kids. so it’s like all the brightest and best fighters and most skilled members of camp, including those who have like. made even one plan in their lives, vs. ninety newly armed children who have been fed a breakfast of gushers in orange soda corralled by the most powerful and most impulsive demigods to ever live

Do u still have that height chart u made of all the characters? Im trying to find references, no prblem if u dont!!!

You might be referring to my old one, but this is my updated one! Forgive the hastily doodled on clothes - this is also my body type/scar/tattoo/etc/general ref sheet, and while I've posted it without the colors before, it feels weird posting it with colors cause for some reason then it looks like theyre all naked, lol. Ref sheets are funny that way. So doodled on clothes it is.

NPMD Tarot - The Hierophant

Others from the series: The Devil, The Lovers, The Star, Strength, The World

Symbolism + some WIP/alternatives are under the cut C:

My intuition put Grace as the High Priestess, but from what I've read it's more about spirituality and intuition, while the Hierophant is all about strong traditional beliefs and ruling/leading, so it fits her way better! :D

Left side/Beginning has the dance cancellation sign, since that was her mission and Max was her first victim, while on the right/Ending is Jason and the Black Book, her mission and source of power has changed.

Halo= superiority, holy mission, Red as a sign of danger/death to come (which is why the light it's only on the boys)

She's sitting on what's supposed to be the bleachers C:

You've been reblogging more stuff about female characters getting ignored by fandoms recently and I would be really curious to hear your full views on the topic.

The thing is that... look. I get it. Many fandoms do not have very many women in their canon, many of those women are treated pretty poorly by the canon or aren't given as much depth as their male peers, and if you're at all picky the pickings are kind of slim (I would love to be a fan of c!Niki, if I were able to watch six-hour vods, which I am not). It is not wrong that most works with large fandoms are really, really sexist, and the problem is not just in the fanbase!

But come the fuck on. It is not an accident that the DSMP and the MCU and BNHA, all of which are vast-majority male and the female characters are treated terribly, are megafandoms, and Revolutionary Girl Utena is eligible for yuletide. It is not wrong that if you want to see more female-character-focused fanwork you should go to Sailor Moon and not The Untamed, but it is also kind of missing the point to say that and not look at the difference in size between those fandoms. People can say "it's because the male characters are so often more interesting and have more meaningful interactions," and like, sometimes that's even true, I will be the first to tell you that quackbur has more to it than tinarose, but please compare the Clint/Coulson tag to the Utena/Anthy tag and look me in the eye and tell me that's the only thing driving the trend. With a straight face.

And even more there's a thing where— so, I was a mod in the @ao3topshipsbracket bracket. And femslash ships, once they were in the bracket, did really well. Like, absurdly well, like 80% of the f/f ships entered got to the top 16, and the last one was against blackbonnet which was never gonna lose in round 1. You might notice something about that number, though, which is that there were only five of them entered total, because people love to vote for femslash but they absolutely will not write it. And they won't say anything about it either! I was watching the activity feed the entire tournament, and I can tell you, for all of the "let's go lesbians" that populated our notes, nobody would say anything that was actually about the specific characters who made up their ship. I learned a lot about Naruto fandom, modding that bracket; I still know nothing about CW Supergirl, because the only thing anyone would say about it is "it has women in it". Because women are interchangeable. Because women are avatars of Being A Good Feminist. Because clicking a button is easy, and actually thinking about any specific woman and her traits and her internality is hard.

The thing is that guilt over misogyny does not actually fix misogyny. It gets you a lot of people who vote for women in polls, and who say "he's like a woman to me" about their male faves but notably don't have any canonically female characters they talk about, and who say that the only thing they care about in a fic is if it has women in it but will not ever actually say anything about any specific woman, and who never shut up about yuri but apparently yuri is everything and anything except women who have feelings about one another.

I'm tired! I'm very tired. I want people to actually give a shit about specific women and their specific traits, which do not begin and end with "woman". And, also, to stop treating women exclusively as the wingmen, advice-givers, mom figures, and accessories of men.

Oh my goodness! Good luck on the internship application! What kind of internship is it? Will you be able to flex your Hamilton research skills???

Thank you, Anon! Fingers crossed 🤞

The summer internship is with the Museum of the American Revolution’s Collections and Exhibitions Department. Interns will spend time working with staff for ten weeks to help prepare upcoming exhibits (writing plaques and the like), conduct research on collection items, and help with archiving and managing their collections database.

And yes, there is a paragraph in my cover letter flexing my Hamilton research skills 😂

[gracelikestea]

hey there! I saw your post and it seems we have quite a bit of interests in common- SOC (kanej!!!), Hadestown (which more people on here should be talking abt tbh), the last of us (although I haven’t played the game, just watching the TV show- I’m really bad at video games lol), THG, Taylor Swift, Batman, etc.

Anywayyy just wanted to pop in and say hi! How’s your weekend going so far?

HI YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE. Six of crows is ofc awesome, and YES everyone in the world should know about hadestown, it’s a masterpiece. I played the last of us game with my brothers a while ago (and eventually on my own on easy mode) since I’m terrible at video games too lol, and the show is so good!! I love that you don’t even need to have played the game to enjoy it. And Wow you’re basically into like everything I am lmao, slay

My day is going alright, little bit of stressful family drama but I’ll be alright. How about you? And thanks for the ask 😘

do you guys ever think about how percy jackson always chose annabeth chase over everything and everyone else, over and over and over again. when he bathed in river styx it was annabeth who tied him to the mortal world. when he was offered immortality it was for annabeth that he didn't take it. when he was sent in camp jupiter without his memories it was only and only annabeth he remembered. when he saw annabeth fall in tartarus he didn't think twice before jumping after her because he'd rather be in hell with her than live in a world without her. he's literally so in love with her, it's not even funny.

annabeth chase is a girl with abandonment issues who always had the people she loved choose something or someone else over her. her father chose his other family, luke chose kronos, thalia chose the hunters but now she has found someone who will choose her over the entire world. she has finally found the love she deserves, a love who will always come back to her.
