Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
I have not! It's mostly that if I did think about it, my mind gets bogged down in the logistical details of the AU far too quickly, so it becomes less a cute thought experiment than a gnarly worldbuilding exercise. Since just with Rodrigue:
His relationship of loyalty to Lambert and the Kingdom (and his own repression) would have to change if he were instead a woman and Lambert stayed king. Would Rodrigue have been betrothed to Lambert from the start in this universe, to keep the Fraldarius-Blaiddyd ties close? Would (she) even have ended up duke, rendering the whole thought process moot?
Or does making Rodrigue a woman imply that to keep the friendship between (her) and Lambert strong Lambert would've also had to be female, meaning the whole Issue with Patricia changes? Does that lead down to F!bert having to hide her relationship with Patricia for different reasons? Isn't that a more fascinating story to explore?
And what about F!rigue's relationship with Felix in this universe, if (she's) Felix's mother instead of father? Does Felix's vitriol against (her) take on way, way worse connotations if he's still a guy? Is the only way to fix that by making Felix female too? But then if *Felix* is female then all of (HER) relationships now also have to change in plausible ways, and exploring how Girl!lix and Ingrid (even if Ingrid doesn't change genders) struggle and hurt each other in the wake of Glenn's death feels like it might be even more interesting as yuri--
AND THAT'S NOT EVEN GETTING INTO DIMITRI--
... etc.
This isn't to say any of it is a bad idea, and I can think of at least 2 compelling semi-toxic yuris from that bullshit I just wrote down. But I'm pretty sure Shezrod wouldn't even be the most interesting yuri ship in that AU at that point, and the AU setting itself ends up becoming way, way more compelling than any relationships I could focus on.
tl;dr: worldbuilding-minded Extreme COnsistency At All Timse people should be kept far away from cute fluffy thought experiments for their own good, and possibly everyone else's
to any americans who feel "paralyzed" and "dont know what to do" to help with gaza:
reading a fucking book. i beg of you.
in a time of knowledge suppression is it your duty to arm yourself with knowledge.
read about americas occupations in the middle east.
read about 9/11 from outside of america and see how they inflicted senseless harm and violence to countless amounts of people and have been suppressing your rights for the past 2 fucking decades.
read about any of the countless wars from the past 30 years. especially from a civilian's. and the victims and survivors' perspective. listen to the horror stories and do not plug your fucking ears as to what your country is doing.
and read about fucking gaza and palestine and keep up with what is happening no matter how "sad" or "uncountable" you might get.
dont look away from this.
you dont have the right to be comfortable during countless active genocides.
if you're knowledgeable, you're powerful, and our current state doesnt fucking want that.
you have the power to change things if you open your eyes and scream to the world.
wake the fuck up.
Edit: please check the reblogs there are readings and ways to help
I lovvvee this little comic from Ryoko Kui 's Daydream Hours ♡. I would read a whole slice of life manga about Falin and Marcille's time together at the magic academy (´ε` )
Look at this cool new t-shirt I made for fans of Abraham Lincoln! I made it on my own time, with my own resources, and without any affiliation to existing public or private institutions concerned with history, education, hospitality, culture or retail. You can find it at my new Threadless shop or directly at bit.ly/imissabe
sam and brennan’s greatest weaknesses (respectively)
(transcript under the cut)
[transcript:
Clip 1:
Elaine: It’s possible this is my new favorite bird!
Sam: I agree. Before, my favorite birds were... [pauses]
Elaine: What?
Sam: Fuck me.
Elaine: [Laughs]
Sam: Um, bluejay. A robin. A cardinal. A flamingo... [pauses] Dinosaurs were technically birds. A pterodactyl—
Brennan: Sorry, dinosaurs were technically birds?!
Sam: I was just listening to an NPR story about this, Brennan.
Brennan: I believe that you mean birds were technically dinosaurs. Not all dinosaurs, were birds!
Elaine: He has a point.
Sam: Oh god in heaven, I don’t know if I know five more birds.
Clip 2:
Carolyn: Woody Harrelson has the vibe of someone who should have been cancelled years ago, but remains one of the rare celebrities loved by both sides of the political aisle, like Dolly Parton, The Rock, and... Kid Rock.
Brennan: That’s the opposite of these five celebrities that both the left and the right hate... Honestly, just like a list of five celebrities would be enough to really... [sigh] oh god, who’s famous? Um...
Sam: Who’s famous?
Carolyn: [Laughs]
Sam: This is like me with the birds.
Brennan: Oh, god, let’s switch. Let Sam name five famous people and I’ll name five birds. I’ll name a hundred birds!
me: oughghgh okay you gotta go OUT today and run errands like an adult, pick up prints, buy floss for the beans cross stitches you sell, maybe some groceries....
also me: oh 3pm's not that late! plenty of time to spend on a cross stitch project!
several hours later, it is already dark out:
me:..... shit.
(ty to @presidentdragon for a sentence that goes extremely hard)
also idk what the cheapest way to get this pattern out to yall would be is there like, a public drive folder somewhere where you can upload free pattern pdfs?
