#idk but i think they get along pretty well

[a-court-of-moonlight-and-ire]

Ive been thinking about how Rhysand being highlord is incredibly pointless and pretty much only serves to make him more dislikable because this series keeps going on and on about how much Tamlin sucks as a ruler, meanwhile Rhysand is over there neglecting two thirds of his (known) court with the thinnest justifications imaginable, not to mention how much worse it makes feysand (atleast conceptually) because really most of Feyres issues with Tamlin that didnt come down to both of them being too traumatized to function together came down to Tamlin being a monarch and her being his fiance, and the only reason shes not having those same issues with Rhys is that he simply absolves her of any actual Lady/High Lady responsibilities, but im getting off-topic. I genuinely think the main reason Rhys is a high lord instead of just like, a powerful general which would make way more sense for his character, is that SJM finds power really hot and I guess if Rhysand was more magically powerful than Tamlin but had less state power and authority that would make him feel like a downgrade, so we get Rhysand being The Most Powerful Highlord In The History of PrythianTM. But then that make me think. hey, why isnt Rhys just in Keirs position. Like, hes not the Highlord of the night court hes just lackey whos in charge of the hewn city and illyria, those less savory parts of the NC that the HL uses as big meatshield factories for the sake of protecting his precious city of starlight, so he still has all this state power and authority but hes also actually an underdog and has an actual reason for putting on a mask. Yknow, the Hewn City is mostly just a normal city with people having the best lives they can without ever seeing the sky because Rhys is actually good at running it, but then everytime the HL comes along they put on a big show of evil for him to feel superior to, or maybe its just Rhys and other high ranking officials putting on a show idk

OH this would actually go really well with that idea I had a few months ago of Rhys having a full-fae halfbrother from his dad's previous non-mate marriage. Like, Rhys is the less favored son so they make him do all this dirty work while his dad and halfbrother luxuriate in Velaris, maybe theres a whole thing where they think Rhys cant inherit the HL powers because hes half-illyrian and then at the end of the trilogy they kill his dad and the powers go to him and its a big triumphant moment because Rhys triumphed over his shitty blood-family's weird biological essentialism. OR if you wanted to girlboss it, maybe having received that drop of the HL's power makes Feyre inherit it instead idk and now you have a brand-new ruler who can properly unite Velaris, the Hewn City and Illyria into one court (i mean, i would prefer Illyria be independant from the NC, but I doubt SJM would ever even think of writing that, so unification with the illyrians getting equal rights is the best i could hope for)

what has lane been up to?? lemme tell you:

aka the travel update you've all surely been waiting for

soooo i was in porto, portugal!!! my travel days were both hell but the vacay itself was so fun!!! here are pics and little blurbs about what i was up to!!

day one was exploring the city! nothing too crazy just walking around and looking at the pretty architecture

next day was our first excursion so we went to wine country! toured some vineyards and tasted a bunch of wine. got a bit tipsy, ate really good food, and went on a river tour!

day three was another chill exploring/shopping day with a fantastic lunch at a rooftop restaurant. here's some things i bought and some food i ate.

tuna tartare and grilled octopus. frog's name is thiago (ty renn)

next day was the river boardwalk hike and traversal of the giant suspension bridge. the views were amazing and i didn't even get that freaked out by the heights. saw some goats along the way and i swam in the river even though it was freezing (i cannot resist a natural body of water)

we also ate some really good food on this day but i was so exhausted and hungry i only got this one picture of the aftermath:

i think this is veal and roasted potatoes

the second to last day was nearby roman ruins in conimbriga. really cool stuff, i was so impressed by the mosaic tile work and how well it's held up.

i'd also like to touch on my love of natas. i ate two for almost every breakfast and dessert. oh my god they're so good. idk what i'm gonna do without them...

on our last day we were supposed to go to a family friend's farm but she got sick so it ended up just being another walk around day. and we went back to the rooftop restaurant because the food and view were so good.

that vespa belongs to a shop owner we met. he handmakes a lot of jewelry with buttons and ceramics. so cool. i bought a pair of button earrings.

overall what a good time!! it was lovely to spend time with my friend and her family and explore a new city. andddd i hope you enjoyed this update!

xxx,

lane

Is there any like. Tidbits we can know about the Milo's? Especially manipulation Milo I'm going feral over him- anyway, love your game! I've played it idk how many times at this point and I think I've found everything. All within a week of finding it but that doesn't matter hdhgsh

Here is a big list of Milo facts I made before.

Let's see if I can think of some more, probably just for Manipulation Milo then since right now its really hot and I can't think.

Manipulation Milo:

Probably owns like a ton of clothes for different occasions. Suits, dresses, headbands, trousers, shorts, whatever. He keeps up on trends and knows what works together well.

Sings very well in karaoke, probably has a soft yet playful voice, but when he gets desperate it becomes much softer, similar to how he is in PreMilo form.

Probably keeps up with a lot of shonen manga and whatever the latest anime is. Has a soft spot for anime about cats or romance animes back from when he was PreMilo.

Goes out of the way to talk to people who are loners quite often. Even if they don't particularly want to talk to him, he believes its important to leave some sort of rapport with them. Plus, the quiet ones always seem to know things they shouldn't. He should know, he was one of them before.

For some reason, I can imagine him lying down in a sunbeam like a cat does. Probably looks up at the MC and watches them every now and then.

I can imagine him always carrying snacks in his pocket and eating them through the day. Be careful if he offers you something, you never know whether or not it's drugged.

Manipulation Milo, I think I've mentioned before tries to mimic Eris in the way he talks. I think that unlike Eris who when speaking while walking is very pointed and decisive, he tends to sway gently from side to side, allowing his jacket to move back and forth.

Given the opportunity and the expertise, he does also have those kinds of malware on our computer, but only just for recording things like keystrokes, watching the camera or looking through your browser history. It's weird how he knows these things, am I right.

He's pretty good at rhythm games, and somehow never misses a beat when it comes to them. And fashion games. Inspired by that one post about mobile rhythm games. Hums along to the songs as he plays.

Physically much weaker than Violence Milo, but still is fairly strong for his height. Still, he is far less likely to use forceful methods and actually will feign getting hurt to gain sympathy.

something very horrifying about the concept of Thor but not Loki being told that Loki is Jotun when the brothers are old enough to understand the importance of the secret

Hey in the events of an Avatar AU, do you guys think Adaine would be a waterbender (ice, frost, blue theme) or a lightening speciality fire bender? (Witch bolt/lightning bolt reminiscent, only element to conjure bending material out of thin air which is like magic, fire could be blue)

i dont dislike shuro as much as many people do, but I also think the increase of laios/shuro shipping after the release of the anime is crazyyy like nothing personal against people who like it but it absolutely is not there. peak needing to find any two guys to ship regardless of whether it makes any sense at all

Grandline Village is a strange place

Of course, we cannot forget the maniacal birdman who declares himself king of the city, but who cannot enter the sewers of that same city, although no one understands why he wants to do this and what is stopping him. (Sandy slime man is not happy about these trespassing attempts, thanks) There is also the bird man's brother, a crow who lives in the sewers (He has permission to do so, said Mr. Slime grumpily) and who has the habit of only leaving the house to torment the wolves in the forest or leave very questionable things in the doctor's house.

3/3(i think)

am finally back home and can say without a doubt that i am just fundamentally not built for long distance travel however the train was much nicer than planes

[strwbrymlkshake]

Why can't I be satisfied with everything? It needs to be perfect to me and I can't accept anything otherwise :(

I actually do have very complex thoughts about many different things, it’s just a bit challenging to connect the inner voice to the outer voice sometimes </3
