friends what do you think retirement looks like for your wol? at what point do they think “this is it, i’m ready to settle down?” do they hang up the mantle as wol completely? do they still make themselves available as an adventurer under the right circumstances? what do they do in their new free time? when do kids come into play, if or when they have any? if they have kids beforehand, how does their relationship shift after retirement? i wanna know it allllll.

Ok I’m probably not the best person to say this, but I’ve been seeing a lot of (as of right now) accurate insults on how the CGI approach for the Live Action Little Mermaid movie, but please be mindful that you don’t take things too far, and *especially* don’t start going after Halle Bailey (Ariel’s actress) and to a lesser extent, Ariel the character.
Antiblackness is still an issue in a lot of fandom spaces, and it doesn’t just come out as using nasty slurs or stereotypes. It manifests as drawing Black characters lighter and/or with more white features, it comes out as removing Black partners from ships, and it starts out as plausibly deniable insults that get the door open to microaggressions and outright nasty comments.
I’m not saying that all discussion of the movie should be stalled, or even if it turns out to be an artistic failure, that it doesn’t merit discussion. I’m saying that you shouldn’t extend your vitriol to the characters and actors.
If you really feel the need to insult her, it might be worth a little introspection. Ask yourself, “Do I resent that they changed Ariel, or that they changed Ariel in this way?”. You’re not irredeemable if your personal answer isn’t kind. Just be more careful, try and observe how that sort of world view affects your behavior to others, and then course correct.
A lot of little kids would love to see another Black Princess. A lot of little kids would love to have a Black mermaid as a main character. Hell, a lot of adults would love those too. Black fantasy characters have long been excluded, transformed, killed, merely in the background, relegated to stereotypes, villainized and have hardly ever in the spotlight, especially in major productions.
Don’t make it harder for kids (and adults!) to see themselves on screen. Don’t ruin their wonder. So don’t make unkind comments. Keep it to yourself. Frankly, Halle looks beautiful, and I can’t wait to see the sparkles in her fans’ eyes as she swims across the screen.

hey baby…I’m back again with the ptolemaea thoughts….
this song reminds me of the last chapter of ptolemaea when little lamb is in the freezer 🤭
“There's no more chasing rainbows and hoping for an end to them // Their arches are illusions, solid at first glance // But then you try to touch them (touch, touch) // There's nothing to hold on to (hold, hold) // The colors used to lure you in (shut up, shut up) // And put you in a trance (ah, ah, ah, yeah)”
“I never really noticed that I had to decide // To play someone's game, or live my own life // And now I do // I wanna move // Out of the black (out of the black) // Into the blue (into the blue)”
WHICH BRINGS ME TO THIS!
remember how we said ptolemaea comes full circle?
“Out of the black, into the blue” - Get Free, Lana Del Rey (aka little lamb in the freezer)
“I watched him show his love through shades of black and blue” Western Nights, Ethel Cain (aka little lamb when she runs away with preacher rhett)
EVEN IF LITTLE LAMB WENT OUT OF THE BLACK, INTO THE BLUE THEY WOULD STILL BE INSIDE OF PREACHER RHETT, INTERTWINED WITH HIS SOUL, AND THEY CAN NEVER ESCAPE
does this make any sense or am I delulu from being sick 🧍♀️
JENNA JENNA JENNNNNA! no because! because!
you are not being delulu, i promise you, baby! this makes absolute and perfect sense and i’m so, so incredibly in love with this theory, my love! 💗
the part that you quoted from get free alone, is so incredibly little lamb coded. they were entirely lured in by preacher rhett and the illusion was shattered when he murdered them. to play someone’s game or live their own life, could be a metaphor for both preacher rhett and their life back home with their parents i think too.
but, oh! how it comes full circle! yes, yes, yes! THEY’RE STILL IN THE BLACK. THEY’RE IN THE BLACK VOID OF DEATH AND IN THE BLACK, INTERTWINED SOUL, OF PREACHER ABBOTT! it makes perfect sense to how it comes full circle with the album, because they’re still in full circle with preacher rhett, by being consumed by him.
oh my goodness, i could talk about these theories with you forever, my love! i love you and your big, beautiful brain so much! thank you so much for this incredible thought, baby! 🥹💌💗

no day goes by without me not thinking about how well written Opium is, but especially how painfully in love is Maria in Kyeongju…
from the very beginning she’s captivated by her presence. firstly just out of curiosity and lust, and then as the story progresses she can’t imagine life without her. so in love, that it hurts her. she can’t think about anything or anyone, but her.
i dunno, i would suggest to read this to anyone (who is over 18 ofc) who needs to heal their inner hopeless romantic. not just yuri lovers. it’s just that well written and it has been a while since i saw this desperate and raw depiction of falling in love. i was screaming into my pillow and kicking my little feet because of this manhwa.
