Type Maps for The Mime Order by Samantha Shannon 🖤

The White Binder & Black Moth's posy applications to the Scrimmage to become Underlord, or Underqueen. Using the Victorian era's language of flowers, their secret messages are:

JAXON: • Forsythia – how much I'm looking forward to it • Ragged-robin – for Wit • Monkshood – a poisonous purple bloom for beware / chivalry

PAIGE: • Raphaite's Bane (aka Poppy Anemone) – the flower that brings down giants • Purple Bittersweet – Truth • Bells of Ireland – Luck

Headcanon: Chess Tournament

Imagine there was a chess tournament. These contestants play against eachother. People from the same universe might know eachother, but they have never seen the others play chess before. They have not seen the other contestant's matches.

Feel free to comment if you disagree or want to add someone else to the board!

A win is 3 points, a stalemate is 1 point and a loose is 0 points.

Participants (and final leaderboard):

Chen Kitay (The Poppy Wars) - 12 points

Arcturus Mesarthim (The Bone Season) - 9 points

Gale of Waterdeep (BG3/ DnD) - 3 points

Delilah Bard (A Darker Shade of Magic) - 3 points

Jaxon Hall (The Bone Season) - 3 points

My reasoning:

The most difficult thing for me to decide, was whether Arcturus and Kitay will end on a stalemate or if Kitay wins. I love and respect Warden so much, but Kitay is the master strategist, second only to (maybe) Master Irjah. He not only knows the rules, but calculates the next couple of steps in advance. Maybe Arcturus even underestimates him a little, because he is human? But in the end, Kitay will win, even though it is close. None of the other stand a chance against Kitay. Thus: He is the leader of the board with 12 points.

Arcturus is the runner up. He might lose against Kitay, but one of the others can match him in intellect, practice and strategic calm. He wins 3 matches and will end up with 9 points.

Now, I am really fucking sad about Gale sharing third place with the other two, BUT he can not match Kitay's intelligence and he is easier to read than Arcturus (duh...). Gale would make impressive moves, or those that would let him look especially clever. And that would be his doom against Kitay and Arcturus. He can outplay Delilah, who lacks the patience for chess and is a lot more chaotic as a result. But Jaxon has no interest in showing off his chess skills.

Jaxon has never played the game in front of him, he plays on emotions and in the shadows. He would have tried to find out as much about Gale beforehand as he can. And he would use it in snide comments to distract Gale. To make him angry, to provoke him in making a risky move to end things. And Gale would walk into it despite himself. Gale would be the only one to loose to Jaxon.

Finally, Delilah is a bit of a wildcard here? As mentioned, patience and strategy are not her strongsuits, she goes by what she feels like in the moment. And that is just enough enigma and chaos to throw off Jaxon. That is how Lila gets her 3 points: Because while she can not win by the rules, she can at lease confuse Jaxon.

Group F, Round 1, Poll 9:

Propaganda under the cut

Medea Solon

She is an expert girl boss she was gonna marry the prince but he "fell in love" with someone else so she swore revenge. Also that someone else also swore revend against the prince because he is awfull.so now they are girl bossing together. Medea gaslights he most loyal servant/friend/lover a lot she views him only as a tool, but he sees her as his dream girl. She sometimes sleeps with him and in other ways leads him on, letting him think there is a chance when really there never was. she is just doing it to keep him loyal to her. She gatekeeps a lot of information from everyone that she is close to, partially because she thinks it's wise to keep important information secret but mostly I think she does it to stay in control of everything all the time always.

Jaxon Hall

Gaslight: keeps lying to his protegée (who's also the main character) about everything from his past to his plans to the point where even we as the readers can’t be sure what he's up to at any given time, also makes said protegée question the trustworthiness of her loved ones to keep her emotionally dependent on him Gatekeep: his claim to fame is the authorship of a pamphlet that divides the in-universe supernatural community, so-called voyants (already oppressed by the government), into orders by the "purity" of their auras, which has led to widespread discrimination against the "lower orders" who are seen as less worthy as well as the imprisonment of a whole group of people in a slum. He's fine with that as long as it means he gets to be on top of this new hierarchy, bonus points if it also keeps the members of the "lower orders" from holding positions of authority in the voyant underworld. Girlboss: had to fight for himself from an early age as he was orphaned when he was four, then lived as an urchin on the streets of London, a city where he could have been killed just for existing as a voyant. Was then picked up by a group of criminals who exploited him and had him begging on the streets for ten years while he was also slowly being driven to insanity by his own supernatural gift. Given even the hint of an opportunity, he left that life behind and fought tooth and claw to never return to it: he went from illiterate teenager who didn't understand his own gift to famous author and expert on all things voyant in around six years with only the help of his own ruthless intelligence, and then continued to rise to power first as a leader in the criminal underworld and then as an important member of the government (yeah, the one trying to kill all voyants) after catching the interest of the person behind said government (all while financing his life in luxury with a human trafficking ring he's built behind the backs of both his allies in the underworld and his sponsors in the government). He does all of that acting like he should have a secret lair in a volcanoe somewhere and with enough charisma to make him, if not a particularly good person, definitely one of the most interesting characters you've ever encountered.

He always asked Paige to train possession, to even train it on him, like he was excited to be be possessed

Now he sees the results

absolutely love seeing Jaxon getting his ass kicked like the little rat man deserves

Antoinette Carter is a good example of how class can outweigh other kinds of solidarity.

She and Paige are both Irish, and both survived the Molly Riots. They should be able to bond over their heritage and shared trauma.

But Carter was a celebrity, and is rich, and Jaxon Hall is also rich.

So instead of Carter siding with Paige, who is standing for a good cause and with whom she shares much in common, she chooses the man who spent years abusing Paige, manipulating Paige, and was hoping to eventually brainwash Paige into his idea of a perfect servant and killer. Carter sided with the man who sold voyants to Scion over the woman who stopped the trafficking because Jaxon Hall is rich and established and Paige is not. She claimed legal sovereignity for her Council over Paige because Paige should "obey the Council's laws by instinct" even though she's never heard of them before. She paints Paige as an angry common criminal and Jaxon as the sophisticated intellectual because that is the line that Jaxon Hall is selling and Carter want to buy it because it fits in with her idea of the world. And even after Jaxon's lies are exposed, she still sides with him over Paige.

Even Carter's archangel is a tidy metaphor for inherited wealth: one of her ancestors did something, and as a result of this and through no work of her own, she will spend her entire life with a literal magic shield protecting her.

Cab Calloway - Minnie the Moocher 1931

"Minnie the Moocher" is a jazz-scat song first recorded in 1931 by Cab Calloway and His Orchestra, selling over a million copies and was the biggest chart-topper of that year. "Minnie the Moocher" is most famous for its nonsensical ad libbed ("scat") lyrics. In performances, Calloway would have the audience and the band members participate by repeating each scat phrase in a form of call and response, eventually making it too fast and complicated for the audience to replicate. The song is based lyrically on Frankie "Half-Pint" Jaxon's 1927 version of the early 1900s vaudeville song "Willie the Weeper".

"Minnie the Moocher" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999, and in 2019 was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress.

In 1978, Calloway recorded a disco version of "Minnie the Moocher" on RCA Records which reached number 91 on the Billboard R&B chart. "Minnie the Moocher" has been covered or simply referenced by many other performers. Its refrain, particularly the call and response, is part of the language of American jazz. At the Cab Calloway School of the Arts, which is named for the singer, students perform "Minnie the Moocher" as a traditional part of talent showcases.

In 1932, Calloway recorded the song for a Fleischer Studios Talkartoon short cartoon, also called Minnie the Moocher, starring Betty Boop and Bimbo, and released on March 11, 1932. Calloway and his band provide most of the short's score and themselves appear in a live-action introduction, playing "Prohibition Blues". The thirty-second live-action segment is the earliest-known film footage of Calloway. In the cartoon, Betty decides to run away from her parents, and Bimbo comes with her. While walking away from home, Betty and Bimbo wind up in a spooky area and hide in a hollow tree. A spectral walrus—whose gyrations were rotoscoped from footage of Calloway dancing—appears to them, and begins to sing "Minnie the Moocher", with many fellow ghosts following along, during which they do scary things like place ghosts on electric chairs who still survive after the shock. After singing the whole number, the ghosts chase Betty and Bimbo all the way back to Betty's home. In 1933 another Betty Boop/Cab Calloway cartoon with "Minnie the Moocher" was The Old Man of the Mountain.

Calloway performed the entire song in the movie Rhythm and Blues Revue (1955), filmed at the Apollo Theater. Much later, in 1980 at age 73, Calloway performed the song in the movie The Blues Brothers. Calloway's character Curtis, a church janitor and the Blues Brothers' mentor, magically transforms the band into a 1930s swing band and sings "Minnie the Moocher" when the crowd becomes impatient at the beginning of the movie's climactic production number.

"Minnie the Moocher" received a total of 71,1% yes votes!
