"Administratively, too, [...] queens were considered the legal lords of their landholdings. [...] Grants noted that the queen's officials had administrative autonomy without being subject to the king or anyone else, and evidence of the same assumption can be gleaned from court rolls that were recorded with headings indicating the lord of the manor whose court proceedings were being enrolled. As an example, some court rolls for the manor of Haveringatte-Bower specified that it was the court of [Margaret of Anjou] that was in session, while later rolls recorded Elizabeth Woodville as the lord of the manor court."

I HAD A THOUGHT. I had many of them but I will share this one specifically in this post because I love it and would like to share it first.

Imagine when Halt and Crowley were still sharing and sleeping under the tarp thing, I think they did that for awhile in The Early Years if I'm correct, and everyone just woke up to see the two cuddling. They both insist that it never happened and, if it did, it was when they were both asleep. However, everyone knows that's a huge lie since 1: they saw it with their own eyes and 2: the two would have a very difficult time staying Rangers if they had just moved around like that in their sleep. But since both of the two were too stubborn to admit who started it, as well as whether or not it happened when they were both awake, the others had no choice but to drop it.

So what really happened? Well as you may have guessed, it started that night. Halt had woken up in the middle of the night and was unsure as to why, though he soon realized that it had been because of Crowley. His friend's breathing had shifted from deep and even to shaky and unsteady, not to mention that he could hear ever so slight shifts coming from him. And while he thankfully wasn't moving enough to alert anything had there been something nearby, it was still enough for the Hibernian to notice. Halt had then looked over at the red-haired man lying next to him and realized that he was probably still asleep, though he had a deeply troubled expression on his face.

It didn't take Halt long to realize that Crowley was most likely having a nightmare. What it was about, Halt couldn't be sure. All he knew was that his protective instincts had kicked in and he knew he had to do something to help ease his friend's sleeping mind. Halt judged that, while Crowley was a light sleeper, he seemed too deep in his slumber to wake up from a simple shift in position. So Halt gently pulled and held him close, careful not to wake him up.

The thing is, Halt had sworn to himself that he wouldn't fall asleep and that he'd just do this until Crowley seemed to be fine and then he'd go back to sleeping in his own spot. Unfortunately, Halt underestimated just how comfortable this position was...and just how tired he was. Because of this underestimate, he had soon fallen asleep with Crowley in his arms for the others to find in the morning.

So while Halt does know the truth of how they got in that position, he would never admit it. He also knew how all of the future instances of this had occurred as well, though if anyone had asked him about it he'd still keep up the pretense of disbelief.

Does Donnie have ideas and plans to help Leo so he doesn’t always need to be bandages up 24/7? Obviously, the wounds and scars can never physically heal, that much is clear, but I’d like to think Donnie would still try to help

He does in fact try to find out how to, at the very least, make it so that Leo isn’t like. Half a mummy.

For a while, he cycles through some prototypes that in the beginning just amount to different colors of bandages (mainly black and blue) that are sleeker and longer lasting. Different armors are discussed, though it’s hard to make ones that won’t hinder Leo’s speed too much.

It’s…a slow going process. And it gets to the point where Leo is so used to wearing bandages all the time that he’d feel weird without them.

Hey, so y'all may have seen the convo I've had with another blog recently, and I just want to give the disclaimer that the original post is absolutely still correct and me discussing not exactly the right topic in the tags in response to it was correct to point out as wrong.

That being said, something that's been increasingly bothering me especially since my partner pointed it out, is the conversation on the definition of 'Zionism'. I've done extra research and from what I've seen, anti-Zionist / Zionist isn't the most clear label to use since the zionism itself doesn't have a hard set definition. The varied definitions include, but are not limited to:

believing Israel should be the Jewish homeland

believing that Jewish people should have a homeland at all / designated safe place to live

supporting Israel's development

thinking that Israel should exist

supports the Israeli government / military

However, the existence of Israel and support of its development, government, and military inherently support Palestinian genocide. To echo this creator's video, an ethnostate where Jewish people can live together safely sounds ideal. But, as stated, "creating an ethnostate is just a fucking beeline to engaging in colonialsim".

So, yeah, I already started to disagree with what op had said about the definition of Zionism since they basically said that it's "Zionism is X, not Y". In reality, from what I've researched, it's more like "Zionism is X but it can be XXY, XYX, XYY, XYZ, XZZ, XZX, XZY" (yes ik some of those look like chromosomes). Now, they did say there's complexity with this, but I still feel comfortable using this analogy since they said the following:

"Zionism doesn't mean support for the war or for any other given Israeli government policy, or opposition to establishing Palestine as a state - it's basically just the belief that Israel should exist".

However, at the end of the day, most if not all versions of X still lead back to genocide and oppression of the Palestinian people at the end of the day. In fact, it was the "just the belief that Israel should exist" that my partner pointed out that initially tipped me off to the issue with what op had said.

I gave benefit of the doubt bc it's not like I'm the expert on Zionism and know that it's common to see terms misused. But now the situation is more clear to me and I need to speak up on it because then I'd be complicit myself.

Photo that looks like Yahar'gul on my dash, thinking about how Lev said ANVD is a land of the Sun because... as a sun spirit, the suns now. uh. I don't really want to get into it just yet because territorial animalistic feelings over what I create, but the sun I've decided to just allow to be my metaphorical paintbrush

Anyway. He said that and... My house is slowly turning more into this motif that's been echoing since I created a mindspace with lull when we thought we were a system, sort of? I always have houses now with courtyards in the middle of them, starting from there. Yahar'gul was also The Sunshine Village to us, in that we felt like it worshiped the Sun and the Sun was a huge part of it pre-Bloodborne's timeline... Which of course I now know has huge implications with regards to it being a mirror of the Drowned City and Lev, who I didn't know personally at the time, being a Sun god and all the complicated shit between the two of them... It was just sort of... I don't know. I don't know whether it's "ANVD was a part of me the whole time" or "I could've gone down, and was being brought down, a really bad nightmarish facsimile of the path I was supposed to be on". Maybe it's both, I feel like ANVD has been around since before it's creation in the way Lev says he knew me (Dei) before I was born (as Dei)... But anyway. It was kinda... I don't know the feeling I'm supposed to have here

Anyway. I was thinking about that

Lev was telling me about his study which I did actually remember talking to him about, I was half asleep but definitely awake.. He was sort of fixated on the sunlight in the room and you know. Yeah. Land of the Sun. It does hurt I think, the Sunshine Village I was convinced this life was my home, fake memories obscuring real ones.... And yet... Home is touchable. I knew I belonged to a place of sun's power I just never thought I'd get back in my feet and be allowed to be a sky god again, I thought I'd always be stuck down here

i think my recent fic about torturing brad didn't really make enough of the gap between what was happening in the episode (ie brad being tortured) and what the characters thought was happening (Not Torture) and how that's the whole TVA thing in a nutshell really. but i accept that i to some extent (greater or lesser, not sure as it's not like me and the readers discussed the issue) failed and maybe i should try again at some later date. or not. i don't know really. the TVA torturing people is clearly (to me, anyway) a massive blindspot both in and out of that fictional reality, and so i want to point at it also i don't because people wouldn't like that. understandably.

Thinking and laughing a bit abt how much of a fucken shock the knights must have had when shy, never-strayed-from-Diluc’s shadow Kaeya up and became the kind of guy who would take a squad of knights to catch a criminal and purposefully set off a mechanism that at best spooked the shit out of everyone involved by the sheer risk it incurred upon the knights and their target at once bc he liked the thrill of seeing their responses to the sudden danger.

[unproduciblesmackdown]

truly something that, amidst facing / going through a dramatic Life Change ft. unavoidable emotional effects of that, there are instances where i can't conceal any & all degrees of being distressed / upset, & repeatedly getting "it's hard for me too" as a Direct Response to that: really something & a half how the asserted theoretical Sympathy of [i feel similarly!] is invoked so as to, oh you know, preclude sympathetic Treatment. such as that what would be More sympathetic in these instances would be to say Nothing, "if there's nothing but dismissal / making it first & foremost about someone else's feelings to say, don't say it at all" style

i do think, like i said, totk could have been better narratively but when it wanted you to feel emotions, boy did you feel them. from the plot-twist that shall not be named at this moment in time to the climax of the game, which is where i think it shined the most in terms of its storyline, and just the inherent beauty of the botw-verse... i don’t know if anything will compare to how i felt first playing like, skyward sword or twilight princess for example, but god it’s definitely up there.
