~LE GASP!~ An Evil Boop?! REVENGE!!! REVEEENGEEE!! *boop* <3

I love it when my fellow Tumblrinas understand the assignment!

[marzipanandminutiae]

If you could have *Any* of Lucille Sharpe's gowns, which one would you want? And: If you had the chance to ferally run in her blood-soaked nightgown anywhere in the real or fictional world, where would you be running?

Probably the black dress. I love all of them, but the blue is a color that very little of my jewelry would harmonize with and the red is, of course, a formal gown that would not be practical for many purposes.

(I say, as if they aren't all gowns with massive trains.)

And if I could ferally run in her blood-soaked nightgown? Well, I wouldn't want to be in the same situation, but honestly...still Allerdale Hall. I'd love the chance to explore it, and see if the attics really hold such a bounty as we fanfic writers like to imagine.

[actuallyvady]

Hello again! I've been gone a while.

I went on what was supposed to be a two week vacation that ended up twice that long. I drove out to see @kyriea and stay with her for a bit, and then, well, I ended up staying longer and not wanting to leave.

In the mean time, I've been on T for over a month! And it turns out my voice has already started to change. We were watching the 1997 Cinderella (one of my favorite things) and I discovered that I could actually sing along with the Prince without going up an octave. Others have commented on it as well, since then. It's hard to actually gauge-- it reminds me a little of getting an updated glasses prescription, where you don't really realize how bad your vision has gotten because it happens so gradually.

There are a few other things that are already noticeable as well-- facial hair I already had is growing in thicker and darker, my body temperature is higher (yay for not freezing all the time!), and much to my surprise bottom growth started almost immediately. To be honest, I wasn't expecting to have anything I could comment on yet-- I'm using the gel, and I had heard the changes tended to be more gradual with that, and every timeline I have seen predicts most changes starting at least 3 months in. I'm not complaining! I'm really happy about it. It just surprised me.

I think that was part of why I stayed extra long on my vacation; I was with people who were more likely to validate my excitement. I love my family, they are very supportive, but I think they are more likely to just pretend nothing has changed at all until it becomes necessary to comment on it. Which is also how I handle everything, lol.

Anyway, I'm still in Disco Elysium hell and likely to remain here for a while.

Oh! I watched the Rings of Power while I was gone! Within the first few minutes of the first episode I was laughing aloud at the revisionism of the flight of the Noldor and I decided that I was going to take the show at face value and judge it on its own writing, not based on my knowledge of lore, and I found that I very much enjoyed it. Elrond and Durin, in particular, I adore.

Anyway, I'll be back to tumblr-ing soon, lol. Gotta get settled back in here and do a lot of thinking about moving forward. But I'm really happy I had a nice long vacation. ♥

Seven Days Makes One Weak: The Fall of Izzy Hands

by Kyriea

After the Reconciliation of the crew, Izzy Hands must make a choice: Stay, and be persecuted and hated by the crew, or flee, never to return again.

But what he comes to realize is maybe he's not so hated after all. Is there a chance for forgiveness to someone as unworthy of it as Israel Hands?

Question! How would Patrik react to Riboflavin-Flavored Non-Carbonated Polyunsaturated Blood? Both the obscure Halloween song by Don Hinson & The Rigormorticians, and if it existed, the drink?

HA! I feel like it would one of those songs he’d listen to ironically “cause vampires” then end up genuinely liking, buying the album on vinyl (same goes for “I Want To Bite Your Hand”  by Gene Moss). Though… on a bad day, he would not find it as amusing….

As for the drink….he would definitely try it out of curiosity. He is always down to find other sources of blood.

[oh-so-heavenly]

Ok so, here's a list of some my current favourite Blackbeard x Stede fics bc i love them, they are all amazing and I need to share them with the world.

I saw a meme the other day that talked about "If your Haunted Doll is destroying your property, she's probably just bored! Please make sure you have a proper habitat for your haunted doll, and proper love and Enrichment!" in the sweetest, kindest way I've seen in a long while. It made me think of you, and I'm mad I didn't save it to send it. <3

In that vein, is there a Doll you've seen that's been claimed to be "Haunted", that you think just needs proper enrichment and care?

I've seen that one! I love it so much

Here is my haunted doll hot take: I don't think Robert is evil.

I do think he's haunted! That seems pretty widely agreed-upon. But his last private owner, Myrtle Reuter, kept him with her for twenty years even knowing about his haunting. Through two moves, no less. She could have ditched him at any time, but she didn't; she took him to her new home with her. That doesn't scream "malevolent entity" to me, personally.

And all the stories about Robert doing actively harmful things- not pranks or simply moving around -seem rather unsubstantiated. Granted, that kind of thing would be hard to substantiate at all, but like. Listicles repeat the idea that Gene Otto was "obsessed" with the doll and that the obsession destroyed his marriage, or even that Robert killed his wife. And none of that seems supported by less...emotional biographies of the man.

As for all the people allegedly hurt by him for disrespect. Well. You do something you've been told not to, and it's going to throw you off-kilter. You might make mistakes you otherwise wouldn't, and some of those mistakes are bound to be dangerous for at least a few of the many people in this situation. Simply by law of averages. (It's kind of ingenious, if you think about it and assume Robert really doesn't take kindly to being, say, photographed without permission. He wouldn't have to actually do anything at all- people would psych themselves out fretting about the Haunted Doll Curse and inadventently create said curse all on their own.)

(Robert the Doll: actually a Discworld witch? Discuss.)

To be clear, I absolutely believe that spirits CAN be malevolent, and harm people. It's not a question of doubting the story's possibility, or even that the spirit possessing the doll is capable of such things. It may well be!

It's just that, in terms of this specific case, the unembroidered facts and testimony from people not Lost In The Urban Legend Sauce don't seem to match up to the popular conception of the doll in question.

Theme song? I've got a few I think of when I see you. "As the World Falls Down" is one of them, as is "The Shire Theme", And the instrumental version of "ET" by Katy Perry. (The lyrics aren't quite right, but the instrumental version is really pretty and light.)

I like that I have instrumental theme music, lol

"To The Mantua Makers!"

by Kyriea

In order to pull off a Fuckery, Ed and Stede must wear a proper disguise. Ed wasn't expecting gowns to be part of the disguise. ** Whatever Ed was expecting, it wasn’t this. Stede was right, the stays fit like a warm embrace, but there was something more to it. Perhaps it was Stede’s breath against his shoulders, or the pull of the stays against his undershirt, but the gentle pressure was *intoxicating.* It was as if Stede’s hands weren’t just at his spine with the laces, but also around his torso, around his chest, and holding him tight. Like the familiar pressure of his knee brace, the stays were a comfort, a reassuring but unyielding press against his torso.He wasn’t sure how, but the stays even smelled like Stede and his yummy lavender soap. He shivered, looking over his shoulder at Stede as he felt the knot be tied at the base of the stays, right at his hips. “...Well?” **
