After years of Greek, Roman and Byzantine histories, both in Podcast and Books, I took a step forward in time to Mike Duncan’s Revolutions podcast.

After 6 months of listening to the English, American, French, Spanish ReConquista of South America, Haitian and Mexican Revolutions, I have popped out bleary eyed and squinting into the 20th century’s 1920s.

I still have the Russian Revolution to go (and a few odd Cold War books) but I find myself missing the Ancient World.

#wip!! one direction fools gold came on while I was in the shower and listen… LISTEN #omg not me searching up anatomy references.. not me digging thru my unused anatomy ref folder 🫢🫢#I tried to give macaque straighter posture here on purpose based on the flashback. he seems more serious than Swk so I wanted to convey that #thru body language. although I am torn between one being taller than the other but I like giving them their own features so they stand out #ANDDD .l think I finally figured out how I want to draw their sideburns now sort of!! fuck their hairlines though I’m never gonna learn how #to draw that shit 🗿. I also have another drawing of mk based on one specific frame during his fight with azure. like he’s sort of crouching #crouching on all fours and leaning away from the camera like the Akira bike slide but as a monkey. idk how to describe it but I wanna see #how far I can go with that one. idk if I’ll finish it thought but it looks SO COOL in my mind #my art #myart #doodles #shadowpeach #lego monkie kid #lmk #monkie kid #lmk sun wukong #lmk wukong #lmk swk #lmk six eared macaque #lmk macaque #idk if this counts as #lmk s4 spoilers #Lego monkie kid season 4

hi yeah so to this day i’m still thinking about the direct aftermath of the betrayal. about how we still don’t know exactly what happened - maybe the movie will give us some backstory! obviously we know the long-term effects of it, but what happened directly after the button was pushed? like did ambrosius realize what he’d done at first? was there instant horror and regret the moment it happened? or did it take a moment to register that he’d blown off ballister’s arm?

and how long did it take ambrosius to realize that the worst mistake of his life had been by design, planned all along? how long before he realized it was never really his fault, but rather the director’s? was it right after he’d stood up in the arena only to find that ballister was still on the ground, or was it a slow reconciliation with the truth that stretched across years?

and about the feud/breakup itself, too - how much of it was pushed by the director and the news, and how much was it ballister himself, rightly angry that he’d been betrayed? how many times did ambrosius try to tell ballister it was an accident before it became clear ballister didn’t believe him, and how many times after that was he just repeating himself over and over? did he ever mention that he’d tried to help, that he’d seen the spreading pool of blood and tried to rush over, only to be held back? did anybody ever find out that beneath the triumphant, untouchable king’s champion was a scared and bitter young knight, forever regretting something that was out of his control from the very beginning? that the price of his victory was so, so much higher than a broken lance and an arm?

what would it feel like, i wonder, to be a golden boy on a pedestal, exalted as a hero but despised by the person who mattered most to you? to be rewarded with fame and glory and a statue in the town square for something you never even meant to do, something that ruined everything? to be celebrated for the worst thing you ever did, crowned king’s champion and gilded in the eyes of the whole kingdom but knowing their approval means nothing compared to the love of the person you’d hurt, someone you’ll probably never get back again because why would you after what you’d done? to get everything you’d ever thought you wanted, at the expense of the one person who mattered most?

#nimona #nimona comic #ambrosius goldenloin #ballister blackheart #nd stevenson #something about this stokes some insane fire in my brain. i think about it every fucking day #picture me pacing in circles with a wild look in my eyes putting it into words lmao #anyway i spend a lot of time thinking about ambrosius and i wanted to get these particular thoughts out there before the movie #and i was listening to into the woods again and thinking about how its themes of ethics and morality are kind of similar to nimona #how the line between heroes and villains and the subsequent line between good and bad is very blurry. convoluted. maybe even nonexistent #how the characters must weigh one thing - one life! - against another and decide which one is more valuable #to what lengths would you go to achieve the thing you want most in the world? what would you give up? *who* would you give up?#what happens when you get what you want more than anything and it turns out to not be what you expected but you can’t go back?#what happens when you have to choose? and what about when you don’t get the choice at all???#anyway i’ll save my other thoughts for later so this doesn’t get too rambly!

There’s only 10 slots so if you fall into anything else you’re legally obligated to tell me for data collection (my own curiosity)

#the current friend / partner vs ex friend / partner distinction is very important imo #if you feel like you know it you’re also obligated to try and guess for my own curiosity (but now I can’t vote right away or else it’ll #give it away ahshdjfkd)#anyways. still can’t sleep. might regret doing another week long post but we’ll see.#by the time I get the poll results I’ll be living in a new city which is neat though #the mountain goats #tmg #listening to you were cool and laying in bed at 7:45 in the morning

#it is 5 hrs past my bedtime and i am awake listening to Two Hearts by Dermot Kennedy on loop and crying over Rotating Shifts. again.#i couldn’t resist the urge to read the latest chapter any longer but i knew when i did i’d get like this #so Why did i wait for my period to roll around. i have made. a silly decision lmaooo #i’ve complained abt it before but i’m conflicted about how much more sensitive it makes me #my nightmares usually don’t make me cry but oh i was a Wreck this morning #so why i picked tonight to read the fic that always makes me cry is beyond me #i have never met a fic before that had me in such an intense emotional grip #and it’s fucking hilarious bc it’s not that intense of a story!! like yeah there’s been devastating parts but i’m out here having to-#-take a break every single chapter bc i’ll read one line that hits my inner child like a truck and i have to take a minute to recover #but the whiplash this fic gives me is so fucking funny and the range in the storytelling from comedy to tragedy is just.. *scream-cries*#it has my favorite characterization of Sun and Moon that i have ever seen #this chapter wasn’t even that sad i’m just Making myself sad about it #but on another level it also makes me sad in the sense that i don’t think i’ll ever be able to write something that good..#all that i want out of my writing endeavors is to make one (1) person feel as strongly and as much as RS makes me feel #and i don’t know if i can do that. i don’t know if my writing has what it takes bc i can’t even describe exactly what it is #i don’t think it’s a science that can be replicated. things either connect with someone or they don’t #the way Sun goes from worryingly innocent ‘wdym we can’t invite strangers to live with us?’ ‘wdym we can’t adopt an adult that needs help?’#to fucking. tearing an animatronic in half in a fit of protective rage and blocking access to all dating apps to prevent you from-#-finding anyone else bc he’s your Special Friend and he can’t have his Daydream falling for anyone else!! no no!!#it’s not a new concept but i eat it tf up when Sun is actually the one you should fear the most #like no i don’t think he’d hurt Reader but i dread to think of the things he would do For them #the back and forth between childlike innocence and terrifying intelligence possessiveness and physical capability is just mmmmm 100/10 #and don’t even get me started on Moon. or i Will start crying again #he’s like yeah dumbass of course i’m gonna save you every time some POS man tries to **** you. of course i will you fucking crater-head #but i will complain at you about it the Entire way home and then i will steal your fucking toilet paper and pack you a raw egg for lunch #because i hate you 🖤 but Sun loves you and we would both kill for you 🖤 also i drank all of your chocolate milk 🖤 also i hate you :)#anyways i am paraphrasing obviously and dear god i hope no one who actually reads RS sees this bc i do not want my 2am ramblings taken as-#-any kind of Official Thoughtful Analysis of the story ok pls pls pls let me be insane abt my favorite fic without having to be articulate #i just have so many fucking FEELINGS about them. i am unwell.#i’m not even tagging this i’m just hitting post and going to sleep goodnight

i never even watched game of thrones intensely. loved s1 in high school then dropped it, but my best friend has somehow gotten me so into it the past couple weeks. we’ve been watching so much on the weekends.

we’re both obsessed with brienne x jaime. and it just really sums us up that last night we were going to bed after watching and both wanted more so she decided to read a song of ice and fire while i pulled up jaime x brienne on ao3

#she’s always been into it and knowledgeable ab it and i lvoe listening to her talk ab it but haven’t gotten into it with her as much til no #she likes to go to the source while i trust fanon over all lol #it acc started up again bc i suggested watching house of the dragon bc of tumblr #but we both didn’t really like the first episode #maybe i’ll give it another try later but #idk got is obv always reckoning with its depiction of women #but hotd ep 1 read like a corny overcorrection to me ha #like it was just so trite the battle/birth parallels…#idk might be being judgmental #lush.talk #rambling

i think the kids are moving on too soon from the fact that we got You Are In Love as a surprise song this week//

She apparently skipped over the "I can feel it on the way home" lyric, though. 🤔 I was so excited, so I probably missed this fact.

she could’ve skipped half the song for all i care. it’s You Are In Love!! 😂😂😂

she does sing you can feel it on the way home tho

apologies for the screen record nature of the video

#i’ll have to give it another listen but honestly people 🤣🤣#like #that’s a thread people are choosing to hang from?

#personal #i miss having a best friend like it sounds so pathetic but there’s no other way to put it… i miss having someone to share an earbud w on the #bus and to go driving around town and picking up fast food w and someone to invite over to hang out and play video games and make art w and #spend the night and honestly just text back and forth w without restraint…#i literally have no one to hang out w for the whole summer like 😭 there’s my one roommate i’d feel comfortable w hanging out w one on one #but she’s in another state wrdhdjf and the other one lives really close to me and i love her too but our conversations without the other #roommate can feel so stilted sometimes 🙈#im sure i’ll meet up w her at some point this summer but i want to give it some time so i’ll actually have things to talk abt LOL #then there’s my old best friend who if i reached out to her im sure she’d find the time to hang out but she also hasn’t really reached out #to me since like november and there was like a solid three months where i would send her posts that reminded me of her and she never replied #to me so. i don’t know #we did end up running into each other on campus before spring break and she offered me a ride without prompting and we listened to into the #woods the way home and sang along and it was FUN it was good and we decided we should try to get back into the swing of things but then we.#did not so. yeah i don’t know! was it bc finals took over our lives or bc we really have moved onto separate paths who knows. anyway

#boy oh boyyyyyyyyyy I missed being high 🥰#I smoked a joint on the way home and I’m feeling some thangs #ngl my head is split #one side is thinking about a super cute scenario #where I’m all cuddled up in someone’s arms and we are smoking and listening to music #everything is just soft and gentle and maybe I’ll look into their eyes and lean in for a kiss and uhhhhmmm it’ll lead into something else 🫣#orrrrrrrrr #I’m thinking about a fantasy #where someone gets me super high and maybe even crossfaded???? keep rolling joints and packing bowls and giving me shots #before I know it I’m a fucking mess #just a needy slutty toy begging to be used 😇#oh and then another part of me is thinking about gangbangs ya know the usual 🫣😇#shut up rosie
