Would you Trust Bridget with Boba Fett's Disintegrator Pistol????

(I doubt that Bridget would be as Ruthless as the Infamous Bounty Hunter from Star Wars maybe...)

Regulus being the biggest most pretentious magic nerd, even down to cleaning/domestic spells. He's using super complicated magic to wash the dishes: it only cleans marginally better than the typical spells, it is definitely not worth the effort (he absolutely thinks it is) and he's using blood magic to get their floors extra shiny. James coming home to Blondie playing and blood running down Regulus' palm holding a knife in his other hand 'Love, why do you have your ceremonial dagger out again?' and Regulus exasperated 'We’re having guest James’

#Regulus after the spell is complete: no wonder mother let us bleed out all over the floors #and James is horrified #Sirius comes over and is like ‘xx spell??? nice’#and James continues to be horrified #jegulus library is full of questionable magical theory books #Reg could be using this information for nefarious purposes but he just wants a sparkly house #and when James breaks out the: do we *have* to use blood magic to clean the floors?#Regulus breaks out the: and who in this house is an illegal animagus?#also if it wasn’t clear Blondie is Regulus’ cleaning music #regulus black #james potter #jegulus #tw: blood

Helen Frankenthaler "TOBAGO" 1977

В мыслях об ином, инаком, И ненайденном, как клад, Шаг за шагом, мак за маком — Обезглавила весь сад. Так, когда-нибудь, в сухое Лето, поля на краю, Смерть рассеянной рукою Снимет голову — мою.

Цветаева "Стихи сироте - 7" 1936

(for context: usamerican here) did you know i had a professor who argued "mediterranean" should be its own race because they look ethnically ambiguous

It's possible your professor was recalling some old (racist) anthropology books that indeed listed "Mediterranean" as a race.

To be fair, you can say people in Southern Europe (and North Africa/Middle East, which for millenia formed part of the same cultural zone) have a different aspect from people on Northern Europe, no doubt at all about that.

But any attempts to define races is nonsense. Once in one of my many odd jobs I had to sort through a personal book collection with lots of old anthropology books that tried to define the 'standard type' of a race, like "the average Mediterranean is such and such", and you just know that does not exist and never existed, there is no standard Italian or standard Tunisian or standard Greek or standard Spanish, just taking a look at any average street and you can see that's nonsense.

#(by the way the guy was a very erudite man who owned books in all sorts of subjects and especially culture and anthropology)#(you could see the contrast in the old books written in the early XX century and the ones after the world wars)

Boba telling his Tragic Backstory to Bridget for some reason...

(Maybe I should draw Sol and Boba Together but I thought he is Way Too Overpowered compared to the Daimyo so I went with Bridge instead...)

I’ve seen the take that Aelin was “asking for it” when Rowan punched her in the face a lot. And its like… ew no???

I think I would be less bothered by it if Aelin and Rowan where equals in the situation but like.. Rowan was training Aelin while she was in a depression, vomiting daily, and crying herself to sleep after training with him. Along with the weird 19-and-400 age gap every romantasy author writes into their books, the interaction doesn’t come across to me as deserving even if Aelin was mouthing off to Rowan. Just comes off as an emotionally stunted man punching a teenager in the face because she pissed him off.

Ick!

And I think part of the blame for people viewing this scene positively is the fact that its barely addressed outside of Rowan going “oh shit shes already traumatized maybe I shouldn’t be a dick to this teenage girl.” which is just like… the bare minimum. Maybe we shouldn’t sock young women in the face reguardless of wether they have a sad backstory or not, but maybe thats just the feminism in me I don’t know.

#throne of glass #anti sjm #anti rowan whitethorn #anti rowaelin #aelin galathynius #not only is rowan a bitch but hes also guilty of being BORING AS FUCK.#heir of fire #hof is the worst book in the series easily btw xx

Testament genuinely has 1 of the best pages on the gg wiki shout out to my predecessors.

#referring to whats on the fandom wiki. the bar is low over there but still #so many characters have zero citations meanwhile someone cited the fucking 10th memorial book on their page.#that wasnt scanned until recently. extremely niche source #they didnt know the page number but its okay. i can get that.#i am still adding things… i need to write up something for the xx drama cd its so good for them… and some other stuff… but still. good page #their allusions section is kind of a disaster last time i checked the fandom wiki but the fandom wiki is not my problem. teehee.#the kat goes meow

no because why there're no words about aleksander actually creating a safe place for grisha and keeping them protected for the longest time and him experiencing trauma from being hunted and looked down not only by otkazat'sya but also grisha because shadow summoners are seen as abomination plus him being an amplifier? why there's only "survivor" added as if he's merely lived for 20 years having this lifestyle? why the "tyrant who tortures the ones who trust him the most" seem much more harsh and impactful than the previous survivor sentence? why "who trusts him the most" is about the protags™ who didn't lift their ass once to protect grishas and about the ones who we actually got the pov of? why not a word about grishas who he saved and cherished and who died not by druskelles, otkazat'sya or wasting sickness but by old age and natural death behind the safety of the little palace? lb should stop talking about him

also "if all would've been different" lmao grishas would've been hunted and prosecuted way more. someone else would step up for sure but when? centuries later?

#thank you for the novel but id much prefer this is the last time his character gets out of your books and your mouth xx #the darkling #aleksander morozova #the demon in the wood

Character art for Justice and Kliff Undersn from Guilty Gear X Plus. Scan from Artworks of Guilty Gear X 2000-2007 by Daisuke Ishiwatari.

#guilty gear #kliff undersn #justice guilty gear #my scans #guilty gear scans #I love this Justice art but the cleaned up version of it is usually the one passed around #It was redone for XX to match the style of the rest of the character art #Curious that Order Sol + Justice + Kliff + ABA's GGXX art aren't in this book #Maybe they ran out of pages or something. This book is exactly 160 pages. Might've been the limit
