the overall dismissal of QPRs in many spaces sometimes makes me feel sad for other people. because I know some folks would do better if they could have a serious conversation of Being Comitted in their Relationship with some of their very close lifelong friends. Having your deep platonic bond be acknowledged to be on the same level of importance that romantic relationship are inherently given is so important, and it sucks that so many people never even get that option

I must admit that “shit-ass” is not a word I ever thought I’d see in a 19th century letter… but here we are.

“This is kind of a shit-ass of a letter, but I just wanted to let you know I was alive.”

- Gilbert Patterson to Jack, June 16, 1896.

Shout out to Characters who are shells of their former selves! You died and you’re not coming back! You don’t recognize yourself and neither does anyone else, and it’s anyone’s guess what the fuck you’re supposed to be now!

Thought about May in conversation with the King in (May's) native language and him using the animate set of pronouns for the King in an aside only for him to stop and correct May to the inanimate ones

Same as wearing his robes crossed in the manner of someone who had passed, I think it would be something technically wrong but nonetheless correct in some unquantifiable way to him. A recognition of what he should be (dead, and in another way just earth and clay) over the material and endless reality of his existence

”sideblog mutuals” is one of the weirdest relationships you can have with someone on here i think. yeah we’re sort of mutuals but only when we’re both wearing funny hats and doing little voices talking about our shows. like what are we

esoteric form of roleplay where instead of actually roleplaying you just make up characters together and discuss in abstract how they'd interact and how their story would go

gossiping :3 about what? who knows!

i think one of the funniest things with Jamie is they kind of just. double down on their acceptance of their friends and compatriots behaviour post kidnapping arc?

May went through their mind and brought fourth their trauma of the experience and fears to the surface? Well he almost apologized so that's enough. Elias tore their heart out and made them painfully face their own emotions? they dont care they just want their friend to be okay. Josephine is prying into things and analyzing others' trauma like a puzzle? Well she usually means well despite it all-

...hey there's kind of a repeating pattern here.

Regent Day

Hello everyone! I have made an in-character google doc for Elias (specifically, an edited version as the Regent) in the form of a Wikipedia Page! I thought it would be hilarious to post it on Victoria Day. I highly encourage checking out all of the links, as I was giggling nearly the entire process, and there's a lot of jokes and context you'll miss if you skip them! (please note that the wedding link [married to a queen] in the Rumors section implying elias is married to a parabolan power links to some very bloody art with their heart being removed, so if you don't want to see that, that link can be safely skipped.)

and it’s whole thing is it’s supposedly based on scientific studies/data and even has sources cited on cards. but you know. it’s a board game about psychology from the 80s. so you get shit like this:
