i did DM plenty of friends this morning, but this is a PSA: if you liked Mikey And Nicky, please watch The American Friend, trust me

I posted this to discord and I'll POST IT HERE.

wild how Miorine didn’t appear once but how often she was invoked in this episode. Shaddiq’s (disgusting) accusations towards Guel not taking responsibility with her, Petra’s only wish to survive and demand a proper date from Lauda, Chuchu telling Nika that she needs to tell her the truth and the entire truth, otherwise they can’t even start on the path to forgiveness. The Greenhouse being crushed underneath a Gundam, the article that was sent to Suletta in the beginning. Earth House unsure how to handle it, Suletta back in class, zoning out. 

look. all these posts about queer women artists to listen to instead of projecting onto taylor swift are Nice and All, but it is really telling that trans women hardly ever make these lists.

Since Peter and Wade have drag queen alter egos, would Petra and Wanda have drag king alter egos?

i think all of you people are so very misguided on where you can go to ask these sorts of questions - there's an ask blog for petra and wanda! please, please shoot them your questions @askspider-n-pool

intriguing 👀

Tbf, Petra probably drank the revanchist nationalism kool-aid and thought Faerghus (or Leichester) stole land from the Empire instead of y'know not thinking that maybe a territory wants to be independent and fought for said independence. But no, everything belongs to the Empire.

Hm... well, that's true, but I can't say I like this one bit. lol Petra was brought to the Empire at a pretty young age and was more or less treated like a circus animal, from what we've been told, that is. She tried to learn Fodlanese by herself and was met with mockery from the nobles in return:

It sounds to me like she hadn't anyone to turn to in the Empire despite being a political hostage and, y'know, a princess and the heir to Brigid's throne. I don't know about you, but if I was in this situation, I wouldn't jump on the "Adrestia fuck yeah" train, but rather on the "Adrestia fuck you" one. But then, Edelgard ousts Thales and his circus from the Empire and Petra returns to Brigid during the timeskip, meaning Edelgard allowed her to do so. We can assume that it's during that time frame that Petra bought Edelgard's spiel and decided to murder people so that the Empire can do a big fat land grab fight for her Cause (tm). But... why would she? Because Edelgard wasn't a jerk to her that makes her war okay and legitimate in Petra's eyes? If she supported the Empire for the sake of Brigid, that would've been a different story. But here, she's willing to throw away her life for someone who's trying to annex two countries that were minding their own business and didn't do anything to Adrestia or Brigid??? Surely, there would have been a better way to justify Petra being a playable character. Then again, she's not the only smart and curious character to have lost a consequential number of brain cells in Hopes. But this is why Petra is way better in AG where she gets a much needed dose of reality.

Three fun facts about any of your Ocs?

You know the way to my heart 💚

Mama actually has a Southern accent. You just won't hear it unless she's really angry or drunk. She's actually really embarrassed by it. She also used to square dance, she still knows some of the dances.

Perchta could burn cereal. Terrible cook. That being said, she makes a great cup of tea. Hates coffee though. And hot chocolate is for the weak.

Was hast du gesagt Aszendent? Hund?! Ja.

🎧 haiii Jordan <3

Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Send me a 🎧 and I will put my music on shuffle and give you a song and my favourite lyric from it!

i was RIGHT NOW years old when i learnt nemesis was the greek goddess of revenge towards gods. and, yk, nemesis from fire emblem is the one who tries to destroy the goddess with agarthians, which wanted revenge towards her.

oh mY GOD. this game has so many ancient culture reference im not able to keep track. i love three houses so much

(also *insert trans joke here bc the greek nemesis was female but nemesis from fire emblem is a man. good for him!*)

wrote an exhaustive review of The American Friend.... it's fucking 10 pm, i got started at 6 pm, i've spent 4 hours on this film and the extras that the Criterion torrent offered, i wanna die (major spoilers in the review, don't read if you haven't watched it)

Man why are yall so amazing to be honest, also Romeo, are you ok if people simp for you, if you know what simp is :3

thanks for the compliment man! also im sure he tolerates it more than the rest of us, honestly he just likes the attention most times.

You know, all jokes aside, I kind of don’t think Lauda’s going to die, especially since Petra’s not dead herself.

While the thought of Petra dying after her declaration that she’s going to demand an apology from him is a tragedy, Lauda dying before she can do that doesn’t fit as well in my brain. It leaves too big of a hole for Petra’s own motivations, even if she’s less of a main character than he is.

I’m also just too attached to the idea of Suletta having a moment like she did in ep12 again, where she has to protect Miorine from someone, but this time doesn’t end in someone’s death. Especially if Suletta’s going to be piloting Caliban, a Gundam with an especially vicious quote-unquote personality. I just think a scene like this would be Neat. Either way, it feels like Lauda dying would bring about less happening than him surviving would--the thought just feels a bit off to me.

Happy Anniversary Petra dearest

Talk Shop Tuesday: is there a trope, OC, turn of phrase that you’ve used in multiple fandoms?

Would you consider race bending and turning all my favs into POC a trope? If so, yeah I use that all the time. It's my favorite ^-^ Themes about racism and immigration come up in my stories a lot, I think that counts.

My Moon Knight stories talked about his latino identity

My Daredevil fic was just about Matt being Mexican

My Elektra fic touched of the oversexualization of S.E. Asian girls and young women

My Petra fic was about her how she feel like she has to be respectful and polite and a good girl because she's probably the only ethnically hawaiian person these rich brats will ever meet that they'll consider their equal.

My Dimileth fic will eventually tackled the implications of a native girl marrying into the British royal family

My next fic (after I finish my dimileth) will be about Robin (who I'm coding as Mexican) marrying into a WASP East Coast-esq family and her sacrificing her ambition, career, identity for the sake of her husband and kids.

Aw man, am I repetitive? Shoots. Oh well~ Someone has to write about racism and I guess that's me
