What do you think of Danny Jones … I feel that he has a lot of subjective prejudice against historical figures …
I'm going to be honest with you - I've never watched any of his documentaries and I've never read any of his history books because his reputation proceeded him. I think he is a deeply unserious historian, best known for being a photogenetic white guy who fronts a lot of sensationalist documentaries and writing grimdark pop histories that often regurgitate the traditional and increasingly challenged view that Great Men Alone Make History, where what defines "greatness" is military might. He has been noted as ableist for his treatment of Henry VI, who he dubbed the "biggest villain" of the Wars of the Roses because of his incapacitating mental illness, and homophobic for his treatment of Edward II, who he says should have died via hot poker because it's "too good of a story" for a "humiliated, emasculated, possibly homosexual king" not have died through that way. As you say, he has a lot of subjective prejudice and at times, he's factually incorrect or ignorant of (or ignoring) more recent work in the area. I also resent him for popularising the view that Richard II as a child psychopath and carry a lifelong grudge that he was Melvyn Bragg's main source for his novel about the Peasants Revolt in which the 14-year-old Richard II pops a boner while watching executions because he's evillllll.
To me, he is popular because he is a photogenetic white guy who can pretend that he's Not Like Other Historians because he has tattoos and wears a leather jacket! and his version of medieval history is one that fits in the stereotypical fantasy of the Middle Ages as a hyper-violent, hyper-masculine time that's just like A Game of Thrones.

omg I've been a longtime fan of your fics, like for YEARS, but was completely convinced you didn't have a tumblr bc I thought your username was yellowcarabello. Years, man.
HAH. I put my tumblr url at the bottom of every story! My tumblr url was also theinternationalacestation until recently - I changed it for consistency purposes and also because that url sucked. There is a truly excessive number of behind the scenes commentary and rants about each fic, so feel free to explore the 'my writing' tag also. My tumblr is also the most reliable way to get ahold of me in general.
Congrats, I guess, you have a very big fic backlog to explore now. I should update it, I think it's missing a few random stories I've written lately...there's also a shitton of stories on my Google Drive I have not posted at all (they have their reasons - mostly unfinished). I'll have much, much less time to write coming up, but I'll try to finish what I can.

My siren from the previous post <3 His name is Roni (very very much placeholder (“my song” or “my joy,”)) He is a siren from a not-so friendly tribe that only just recently tried to mend its ways with (significally chewed, angered and not exactly ready to greet neighbours with open arms) human population of the nearest port city Not having advanced enough to compete with their former prey neither in diplomacy nor armed conflict, it was almost completely wiped and scattered by the people that were too tired and afraid of not only loosing their close ones to the sea, but also now, as they thought, to their newly activated predators. Too many remembered the tales of their fathers and husband lured, bewitched by the ethereal song of the waves, dragged into the cold water by the colder uncaring arms, torn to pieces, too many for them to even try recognising peace and trade offerings as such. Roni does not know of the fate of his tribe, as he happened to get into altercation with a sailors boat few days before their rocky island was tracked down and wiped off his family presence for good. He was running away from one of the previous attacks for so long that he fell asleep among the fish following the warm stream and got caught in a net. Sailors treated them as kindly as the sirens used to treat them, and left him on the shore, mutilated and, as they thought, dead. He happened to survive, but is unable to see out of his right eye or speak outloud, nedless to say he does not sing anymore, only wispers to the waves at times, praying for the sea`s kindness and warmth, and he did not return to his native island out of fear. He travels now, trying to find his place. As for his character, he is careful, cautiously optimistic, a bit detached, a bit naive, very much inclined to self-learning, well-read as much as it was possible - sirens know human speech for their ensnaring songs, but never had much use of the written word, but he learned it to his ability from the books and letters that were on the ships they wrecked and also with the help of one of the captive "food supply" men that warmed up to his curiocity, letting himself be entertained by wide-eyed child`s questions and candid demands in his last days. Now that he is older, Roni takes great pleasure and comfort in every book he can get his hands on. He especially favours the educational ones, artistic literature being too much of a cultural shift to truly appreciate.

Khilo O'ndanya — Warrior of Light
Tumblr media
Age: 23 (Start of ARR), 31 (As of Endwalker 6.5)
Race: Miqo'te, Seeker/Keeper
Gender: Cis Female
Pronouns: She/Her
Orientation: Biromantic, Asexual
Height: 5'4" / 162cm
Birthday: 8th Sun of the 3rd Astral Moon (8th May)
Birthplace: Ala Mhigo; raised in Little Ala Mhigo, Southern Thanalan
Guardian: Rhalgr, The Destroyer
Classes: Monk, Samurai, Dragoon, Dark Knight, Sage, Paladin, Warrior
Born in Ala Mhigo to a small family consisting of her mother, father and sister, Khilo's first few years of life were peaceful until the Garlean invasion of the land. Her parents were both slaughtered in the attack, and her sister missing and presumed dead, Khilo was lucky enough to be found by another group of surviving Ala Mhigan's who took her with them as they journeyed to Gridania and through to Thanalan.
Knowing next to nothing about her birth family didn't truly bother her, growing up. Khilo was perfectly comfortable with the family that she'd found and grew to love in Little Ala Mhigo. As she got older, she showed an interest in pugilism and wanted to help out as best as she could. The older refugees were happy to share with her all they'd learnt as Monks. When they had taught her all they could, Khilo soon found tutelage under Hamon Holyfist, who became a good friend and mentor to her.
At 23 Summers old, Khilo chanced to meet Thancred Waters and was soon brought into the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. They quickly became family to her, and there's nothing she wouldn't do for them.
Khilo is an outgoing and optimistic individual who might be a bit clumsy at times, but don't underestimate her. Those who don't know her may call her childish, but Khilo is one of the first to take a situation seriously. She's fiercely loyal to those she considers family and friends, and if you've wronged her or someone she cares about, she is not quick to forgive or forget.
She's eager to befriend almost everyone she meets on her journey, collecting quite a catalogue of allies from all over the star and beyond. She's always first in line to help you with anything you might need- be it a simple grocery run, or saving your brother currently being attacked by monsters.

One day, a wooden doll was left in a mushroom forest. The next day, Pinocchio sprouted to life!
Though his origin of how he could have ever ended up in that mushroom-infested biome as a lifeless and seemingly simple dolly remains a mystery, make no mistake that nowadays, the wooden boy is bustling with life— oops! That’s not really supposed to be shared willy-nilly just like that! See, Pinocchio’s persona seems to take some inspiration from avian-like. Or more specifically, swans, for their elegance and beauty! But elegance and beauty are… well, far from what Pinocchio’s little getup may radiate at first glance. But hey, when you have no fingers, you gotta make do. It’s impressive he’s got that little outfit in one piece at all! But why hide? Is he self conscious of his own appearance? Perhaps he just likes swans more? Answers may be up in the air. Pinocchio can’t really come up with a clear and cut answer himself… or at least, that’s what he’d say if his nose wasn’t going to elongate from his own attempt at fibbing.
But what about all those fungus-y formations underneath that artificial pelt? Well, that mushroom forest seems to have some… peculiar occurrences. Those who stay long enough don’t usually leave, at least, not without some permanent damage. But lifeless little Pinocchio didn’t have a soul to work with, so the mushrooms seemed to… make do with what they inhabited. Though zombie-like at first, the specimen in the process of becoming corporeal made observations of children playing in the closest town. And if he is small like the children, then he must be a child, too! His personality was very much adopted based on what he saw around him, giving him his speech and eccentric mannerisms— and let’s not forget naive curiosity! But sometimes that can lead to… less than fortunate encounters. One in particular that hindered his ability to trust further than it already had been shattered when the once bustling civilization he liked to call home suddenly became a ghost town. And much like this town, he felt his identity falter, hoping to one day draw people back in with his “swan-like grace”… well, you have to give him credit for trying.
But out of nowhere, it looks like a guest has been dropped off at his empty streets…! He hasn’t had visitors in a while, and she seems decent! He’ll keep the mask up for now, not truly certain she won’t “trick” him like the rest, but he hopes that in terms of getting to know her, she’ll eventually see that within that ugly duckling— oops, swan dress up, he’s just a fun guy!
——
Oh FINALLY there’s Pinocchio’s bio :) He’s a little strange but he’s got the spirit!
I hope y’all like that one Pokémon Parasect cause he’s. Actually kinda like that guy. Oops!

I keep hearing people saying that nobody cared that to break in a glove was cut from the deh movie alongside other way more important songs but they’re wrong. I care. I’ve always cared. Larry my boy what did they do to you
#I guess it’s finally time to come out of the woodwork and admit I enjoy this divisive trash heap musical that almost no one can genuinely-#Be caught liking anymore because it’s toxic or creepy or whatever and not a story of a ton of fucked up people lying to both everyone else-#And themselves#So unfollow me if you’re deeply disappointed by my morals for enjoying deh#I’ve been. To see it. Second row.#Best decision ever because I could see pins on bags and shit. Connor likes Misfits (band) it’s literally canon for the 2019 tour cast#And I’d never have that without being so close#Anyway if you’re still here and not in full attack mode at the name deh. maybe I’ll make more takes idk#because I’m not saying it’s flawless and hell half the ideas that really bring things together are fanon that then get butchered in-#The adaptation to try and please people#Kinda like the bmc Broadway problem where michael acts like an uwu soft boy because of fandom interpretation#I also saw THAT live. I promise I’m not rich 2019 was just a horrible year for me and I compensated by seeing all my favorite shows ig#ANYWAY yeah this is far down but I guess I’ll finally say what my actual issue is#Larry is so important to me man#And they fundamentally butchered his character in the movie by making him a stepdad. Yknow people who commonly have trouble-#Connecting with their step children#No dis to stepparents but that’s like normal. The fact it’s his actual bio dad and these are the parents he’s stuck with is kinda important#And also the way Larry and his grief are handled extremely subtly in the show#Like you will be found is honestly kind of a slow song to me usually BUT when I saw it on stage I broke out weeping#Not because of any other reason but it’s when Larry’s facade finally broke where he stops being put together and breaks down and weeps#In his wife’s arms. And like. Damn did I see me at my cousins funeral also dealing with a similar grief and trying NOT to#For so long to keep the rest of the family together#And that moment of breaking was so fucking real and I just started sobbing#Deh NEEDS to be seen on stage to possibly comprehend it and it’s weirdo story and that’s kinda it’s biggest flaw lmao#The synopsis and the actual intricacies of the emotions in the show are so far off. And the movies a terrible example#So now it’s just a universally hated thing#Anyway#number 1 Larry defender#Until the end of time#also the fact they cut any songs and add their own is deeply insulting when they cut two of the universally best ones. Good for you IS the

Have I shown Wren here????? I dont think I did!! There he is!  here are some bits of his story: He is one of the forest folk, not really a fae, but one of those whose life is centered around watching over the wild land. tending to animal`s wounds, controlling population when needed, making sure the plants and trees grow healthy, not letting spirits interfere too much with human life, not letting people wander too far in the woods.. He was born into already big family, so, after some time, his parents decided to split away, taking him and his older sister with them, to search for some other place, not yet tended to in such way. Fate had it that such place they found was near one of the larger human cities, one of those that gradually taught itself out ancient folklore wisdoms, those not supplemented but supplanted by newer religious beliefs and science. And when one of Wren`s family showed themselves by accident, the talk of Forest Demons started. Their horns huge, big enough to pierce a bull through, their wings covering the sky dark before they descend on you and their eyes, as black as their soul is the last thing you`ll see if you are not careful.. - such tales were told about the encounter. One thing after another, runaway dog , stray sheep mauled by wolves, cholera outbreak in the outskirts - everything, that was before the result of negligence in some way now could become the fault of those "Demons". In any bad thing townsfolk saw the proof of the rumors they themselves created, spread and multiplied, so, when a child dissapeared, the town was in full blown hysteria. The one at fault screaming justice the loudest. Wren`s family, unsuspecting of any such development, still too busy with moving and settling in and figuring out how to better help the place around them live in harmony and prosper, as it was in their previous home, had no chance to react to the angry screaming crowd that tracked them down and chased them back into their tree nest. Wren lagging behind was waved by his sister to hide in the bushes, and that is the thing that saved him from being burned alive with them that day. That, and the "mercy" of jaeger that found him, same one that helped find their nest felt a fleeting stab of pity when he looked at the tiny "demon" thing, scared and helpless, by the looks of it, a child no more than 10. So he decided to not burden his soul with that particular thing and let Wren go, tearing out his flying feathers though, just in case "so when it grows up it does not hunt humans from above as they do" - he explained to his companions as he was breaking away at the wings Wren haven`t had a chance to fly on. And then, satisfied with his work and satiated with feeling of his self-righteousness he told Wren to run. And Wren ran until he has fallen from exhaustion. Nowadays Wren lives in the ancient woods near a small village. He continued his family`s work, alone, and found solace, and himself, in that work. He doesn`t feel grudge towards humans, though he is wary of them. He will help a person wandering on his territory just as he would any other animal, if they need it, just in a more unnoticed way, such as leaving small signs  and a sturdy stick to lean on on a way of a lost traveler, just as he would help moose out of the bog, leading farmer`s runaway goat back to the meadow where she can be found, with the same feeling of doing the right thing to do as he feels about fixing a mycellium of rare mushrooms damaged by deer`s hoof. His wings have never grown new flight feathers (although they help him to descend soundlessly from the trees down when he hunts), but he fixed himself his own tree nest, in a place of an old watchtower left from some almost forgotten war. It is small but cozy, and does a good job keeping him warm and safe. Not that there`s anyone here that hunts him as they might in other places. This village still lives more by grandma`s tales and old wisdoms, so they treat his almost unnoticed presence as a kind forest spirit. And he, without his own knowledge or care, fits into that image. Go look at his toyhouse for beautiful original concept art by  lisablack89-adopt AND ALSO amazing artfight piece by  Voidtech Т_Т (and his music theme) Tysm for reading! \0/

"Do you believe death is like REBIRTH?" It's a question he never pondered often - but when the concept of doors appeared in his life, he was forced to consider more thoroughly. Every door brought them closer to a chance at life and yet pulled them further into the shadow of death as well. The years since then have felt like they were STOLEN. He knows that he was meant for death and that the only reason he’s still here is this mysterious other realm - he knows that with the passage of every door the likelihood that he’ll make it out unscathed becomes slimmer. And yet - he likes the gamble, in a way. In a way, that’s how he knows he’s still alive.
“…Forgive me if that was too in depth.” Only after a moment does the leader of Obsidian amend, softly, but he does not crack serious demeanor - “I only thought it appropriate to see how you felt about such a thing seeing as we’ll be here together for a while.”
@facsimiled liked for a starter !
