FUNDAMENTALLY! Word of Honor is about the epic romances had at the Villains Retirement Home. Okay we’re talking the ex-spymaster with erectile dysfunction 4 the world’s most shameless old mob boss looking to marry his cherished daughter off before he dies. And the plot is the two of them getting divorced and getting back together like 10 times because they keep meeting up with exes, or getting into fights about the spymaster’s terminal cancer, or they disagree on parenting the random orphan they’ve picked up, or like, if we’re retired shouldn’t we stop murdering people isn’t that kind of a young man’s game anyways? Meanwhile there’s a plot happening with a macguffin that is NOT the point

despite being an anxious little rat who fears interaction whenever i watch/read a period piece where people conduct their business by just going to a place and speaking to the person in that place and everything gets sorted out well i do feel some kind of jealousy perhaps

learn to pirate. im sick of like 50k+ notes posts to some zip file hosted on a google drive or on some file sharing platform thqt gets taken down or has malware in it. a good vpn (proton, ivpn, mullvad) costs so much less than a single streaming service let alone 3 or more, plus adobe products plus whatever textbooks you're buying plus music services and whatever.
Torrent sites cannot be taken down because they host .torrent files, and they doesnt contain any pirated content, it just tells a program where to find it. Since the site doesnt host pirated content you're free to talk about it without any risk of shutting it down.
Be careful tho cuz by talking about you can increase the chances of companies finding out their stuff is on theae websites, and they can send cease and desists to the IPs that are downloading/seeding it. This issue is mitigated with a Private Tracker which only allows people who specifically have been invited by other users to download the .torrent files.
Also: Torrents are peer to peer. if someone hosting a torrent's house gets raided and gets taken down (very extreme example, AT MOST they will send a warning or a C&D to ur ISP) anyone else who downloaded the torrent is still also hosting it. as long as theres one person left on the planet that has it, you can still download it (oversimplified)
Also a note about C&Ds and ISP letters. Me and my family have been pirating content for definitely over a decade at LEAST. We mostly use invite only private trackers (google it, lots of info on reddit specifically) WITHOUT a VPN and also live in canada. All of that combined, we recieved a warning from our ISP once in 15 years(i was seeding cyberpunk 2077)
tldr go download qbittorrent and go to reddit and find private trackers for you to torrent shit from, or public trackers if you have a VPN that supports p2p

and then there were 3 💿
don’t get mad. i’m saying what needs to be said and this the last time.
Tumblr media
the blk yn “stereotypical” stories are self indulgent and the relationships are unfulfilling and unhealthy. yeah. 
Tumblr media
i never mentioned fully the stereotype thing that’s associated with blk yn fics and that’s because i have never really understood what ppl meant by it. and this isn’t to be funny towards the ppl that say that abt those certain fics.
Tumblr media
i somewhat? get what ppl mean by yn is written as a stereotype when it comes to the toxicity in fics but because these stories are written by blk women for blk women who feel comfortable with those types of behaviors, dynamics and relationships i feel it shouldn’t be seen as blk women writing themselves as stereotypes because the comfortability with that idea of relationships comes from somewhere and it’s not no stereotype. 
stereotype: 1. a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person
that word itself just projects an idea on those ppl and (not to use a buzz word but) dehumanizes them. it dilutes and dismisses the perception and character those women see themselves as and i don’t personally think that okay. 
lots of ppl are accustomed to or find comfort in certain dynamics and behaviors for so many different and very personal reasons. (whether extreme or not.) without even knowing sometimes we all do or have because we are still ppl at the end of the day. so chalking up someone’s humanness to a stereotype is unfair to me. it’s the same shit that ppl did to us back in the day and still do till this day and i find it unnecessary to do amongst ourselves.
Tumblr media
that’s why i chose to say the relationships in those books and fics are unfulfilling. the dynamics, behaviors and all that ain’t healthy. if we being real. and that’s more than just a stereotype. i also dk what ppl mean by her being a stereotype in particular. maybe being extroverted? ion know. 
Tumblr media
but ppl who want to write those things are going to do what they want but that doesn’t mean..
blk women don’t deserve or that it’s impossible for us to have more exposure to more fluffy and healthy dynamics in books with us as the main leads (also all blk ppl cause not just women read books obvi and want fluffy romance that’s another convo tho). it’s also important we showcase blk girls in various ways because we all are very different.
**we should keep in mind a fictional! character we call blk yn can be a ya (young adult) so mistakes and learning experiences in fics aren’t always useless. (though it seems we’ve had enough of it im just saying)
with different ways of thinking, with different styles, quirks, and personalities. right now it’s mostly coquettes, bimbos, and baddies being written almost similarly each time. and that’s perfectly fine but i think there’s something else that ppl are wanting to see but i would like to know what exactly.
do you guys want see her in different styles? talking differently? as an ambivert or a shy girl? someone who doesn’t talk much or someone who does? like what would be the opposite of the “stereotypes” you normally see?
and how can we as a community make some kind of change to see ourselves differently.
those few ppl when i said “as a community”
Tumblr media
don’t get quiet now. 
Tumblr media
but honestly, because of that maybe give writers prompts and requests with what you’d like to read. there are many writers who always have requests open and lots of times those asks are some of their most popular posts!
ppl started only reading or getting used to smutty and plug books cause that’s all there was, (there was an influx at the time) especially since 2020. that’s also when the blk fic community began to grow so there were more blk fics and writers than it used to be. so maybe we can try and do that with fluffy, fantasy and wtv other fics. 
**also there are some really good books on kindle for you guys to try with blk girls as the lead that might be interesting for you. here’s some of my suggestions: sunny disposition! and excuse me while i ugly cry! (these are just from the top of my head)
i personally have noticed so much about myself from reading more wholesome stories and stuff so reading other fics or books sometimes isn’t for me. it’s books i’ve read that i look back at and see how much i have grown from what i used to be into. that’s why i don’t reblog as much anymore too because i want to find more that is more personally up my alley.
Tumblr media
so yeah let’s just try and find and create more books that are healthier. blk girls deserve love, kindness, to be treated gently not weak (or a like a child) and have sweet stories. stories and portrayals that heal us.
we can have suspense, drama, mystery, ups and downs, and even rain but i think a lot of us just want the sunshiney stuff. maybe that way we can digest the suspenseful and dramatic stories (that aren’t toxic) in a better way.
like i said in my last post we read and write for comfort so i think we can use this as a way to heal ourselves as well.
ps. (even some “healthy stuff” can be unhealthy lowkey but that’s another convo) 
muah
Tumblr media
also thanks for all the likes on my previous posts! i was nervous ppl wouldn’t understand what i was trying to say but the good feedback has definitely given me confidence!

Hey, so I think I am going to start reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and I wonder if you have any tips for me? Note that I'm entering with absolutely no prior knowledge and people have told me that the book can be exhausting to keep up with sometimes.
It has also come to my knowledge that having a general idea of the events through other media helps to enjoy it more? I did consider trying the podcast or the tv series but tbh I do not find those mediums too appealing (please do not burn me at the stake)
SO do I bully myself into engaging with other forms of media before the book or can I get into the book w/o any of that foreplay?
(By the way, your art is just amazing and, obviously, was what prompted me into getting into rttk! Thank you for your incredible work)
YAY!!! I'M SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT!!! IM GLAD YOU LIKE MY ART! there's no right or wrong way to enjoy three kingdoms, give it a shot and have fun. there's no pressure to keep reading if ur not feeling it. it would be helpful to know some of the historical context before you start. here are some videos: 1) cool history bros this is a playlist that also includes series recaps (plus i LOVE the animations and character designs)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
2) three kingdoms oversimplified this screenshot says everything tbh
Tumblr media
3) farce of the three kingdoms a hilarious parody of the novel with such gems as:
Tumblr media
4) red cliff (2008) this movie actually takes place halfway through the novel at the climactic battle of Red Cliffs, its action packed and not too confusing for beginners.
Tumblr media
Hopefully there's something on the list that strikes your fancy! (citizens, feel free to chime in if you have anything to recommend as well)

"Y- you're not supposed to be here! Please, don't tell anyone what you saw!"
Smiling Critters AU No.1: CraftyCorn
NOTE: THIS IS NOT RELATED TO CANON IN THE SLIGHTEST. An accurate description of this au is that I took every playtime.co poster art and promotional material from the game and lit up the rest of canon in a bonfire. This means that EVERY character is part of one big cartoon. That's it. No bigger bodies project, no child souls, no experiments, just a depiction of a cartoon. PLEASE do not ask me to do anything suggestive with anyone.
TLDR: no freaky shit plz im begging
OK so to start
Craftycorn comes from a lineage of unicorns, a rarer species. Her father and mother are important people, her father is a lawyer and her mother is a fashion model (think like Adrien from miraculous but actually pretty)
Her mother wants her to follow in her footsteps, so when crafty showed her her first completed crayon piece when she was six, she ripped it apart and lectured her about how 'she doesn't need to indulge in trash like that' or something along those lines.
So throughout the years crafty acted a certain way around her parents, never mentioning her interests or her opinion about her future. However, she still did art in secret. Hiding stencils and sorts in her room, and even staying behind after school to draw.
Anyways Enter Dogday.
During Dogdays search for friends at school he noticed craftycorn was fairly popular. But he also noticed that there was something off. Sure, people were nice to her and no one had any malicious intent, but every interaction he overheard was basic stuff, like 'can I borrow your pencil' or 'can you help me with'. It didn't actually look like she had friends, just peers. So dogday made it his mission (well, continued his mission) to become her friend. After school he notices that she didn't leave the building, even though there were no after school activities. Due to his varying levels of knowledge in social norms, he follows her. After getting lost for a bit and looping the school around 3 times, he finds her in the art classroom, painting away. (See image ⬆️)
Dogdays' varying knowledge of social norms strikes again and makes his presence known after he gets close to her, resulting in her jumping and a stroke of red on his face. Instead of getting angry, Dogday laughs it off. But craftycorn is still panicking. She starts begging him not to tell anyone what he saw, and dogday gets confused. She gives him an oversimplified version of her situation, and dogday being dogday cheers her up. He tells her that he won't tell anyone, but whenever she comes here he wants to come along as well. She agrees, and after a few meetings they become friends.
I should probably add that small facts about the character will come out when I finish them all as to not spoil anything so yeah
Anyways I'm out of time, thanks for reading!!!

Too many Binghe haters jumping into the askbox so I'm here to represent Binghe lovers.
Luo Binghe is a fun, interesting character who suffers a lot from shallow readings. Which is ironic considering the main source of tension in his relationship with Shen Qingqiu, the MC - who is originally a reader of the novel in which Luo Binghe is the protagonist - is that Shen Qingqiu keeps reading him shallowly / expecting him to act according to some or other character archetype, and thus misses that Binghe is a complex person with his own rich inner world. Basically it's meta-commentary on how readers do a disservice to characters by oversimplifying them to just a few traits and/or their role in the story (SVSSS in general is super meta) but unfortunately not a few ppl read the novel and fell into those same trappings ^^"
It also doesn't help that Shen Qingqiu is an unreliable af narrator, which leads to some people insisting that Luo Binghe forced him into a relationship or is manipulating him or w/e... This is about a guy who waxes poetics about Luo Binghe's unparalleled beauty every time he lays eyes on him. Like cmon, he just has a lot of internalized homophobia and shame to work through, give him a break!! And the so-called 'manipulation' is half the time Luo Binghe looking vaguely disappointed and Shen Qingqiu going "wow! I cannot believe the most beautiful man in the world whom i love so much that i died for him twice and whom im dating is making me have sex with him! Luo Binghe sure is a master of emotional manipulation!" and other half the time Luo Binghe super obviously whining for attention which - canonically, its in the text - makes it easier for Shen Qingqiu to be honest with him.
But enough salt; reasons why Binghe is a top blorbo go:
The narrative (which btw is a real force in this world) is trying to make him into an iron-fist Ruler Of Everything but his greatest aspiration in life is to be a househusband.
Was supposed to be a protagonist of an uber-straight harem novel but threw heterosexuality out the window within 3 interactions with MC. 
His love language is cooking! It's adorable but it'll also hurt u. (Binghe kept making three meals a day for Shen Qingqiu during the five years the latter was dead :) )
A big part of his arc is about learning to be vulnerable and show his sensitive side. (In general, one of the novel's major themes is toxic masculinity and how it harms ppl; I just particularly like how its explored with Binghe.)
A Good Boy (has been going through a corruption arc for 2/3rds of the novel yet it still took a cursed sword controlling his mind for him to start acting like the OG) 
Lotsa delicious fridge horror around him being the narrative's favorite chew toy. Things only ever get worse for him and reality will warp itself to deny him a chance to heal while the story is in progress, because he has a Role and that role is ‘a villainous protagonist’.
But also u get to cry about how he was saved in the end by the power of just one reader loving him and wanting better for him. (SVSSS is also a love letter to fandom/fanworks okay :] ) 
Very powerful but also a nervous wreck. Tripped and fell flat on his face when proposing to his boyfriend.
Just in general him being clingy and whiny and a mess is mega cute (me 🤝 Shen Qingqiu) 
This makes for a great contrast with him being a super OP nigh-unkillable demon lord btw. He could drown the world in blood but he's too busy crying Ghibli tears in his man’s lap. 
Also I need to mention he's extremely funny about being nigh-unkillable too. Like, *gets injured* Shen Qingqiu: "We can have sex once u r better 😔" Luo Binghe: *popping broken limbs back into place*: "I'm better! :D" 
Has a praise kink AND a masochistic streak. Apparently when Shen Qingqiu praises him and pats his head it's exciting, but when Shen Qingqiu scolds him and hits him that's also exciting. 
Has the peak character design detail in the form of a demon mark on his forehead. Built-in kissies target 🥰 Also when fanartists draw it in different shapes to represent his mood? Absolutely delightful 100/10 no notes <3
Why do I feel like this man has Kenergy

Sorry for the obnoxious astrology post, but had to put it out somewhere
Well, astrology has veen one of my hobbies for quite some time, and me in my charlos obsessed era of course had to bring them into it.
So, dont get me wrong, im not a birth chart reader, much less synastry. (Already saying, Sainz doesnt even has his time of birth known for the public for instance, so i could never make a full synastry chart that would help me to try to dissect them much more.)
But i went on and tried a synastry chart cause i had to, but i honestly wasnt expecting anything much from it.
Also, I want to be clear that synastry is not only about couples, but about the potential relationships between two individuals, so dont take this post seriously. i just did this for fun, curiosity, and cause i have free time :)
In fact theres nothing much to see there because knowing both their houses placements would be much better. However, theres one thing about it that immediatelly caught my eye.
First of all: in blue, its LEC and red, SAI. With that in mind, lets look at this picture:
Tumblr media
If youre new to this: here is SAI'z venus conjunct with LEC's mercury (they are in fact pratically juxtaposed, in the 24° of libra). Not only this, but we can see LEC's has his own sun conjuct with his mercury, so, consequently, SAI's venus is conjuct with LEC's Sun too. Now this is the part i'm smiling.
So, to put it shortly: even for astrology-newbies, we know these are one of the fundamentally most important planets in astrology. Sun, Mercury and Venus. and the fact that they 3 are present in this conjunct, in a synastry, means that it makes the bond even more strong, taking an astrologic perspective.
Oversimplifying, Mercury: planet of communication/ Vênus: planet of relationships (any kind of them)/ sun: planet of the essence.
I did look it up and found some things interesting, but these are from astrology blogs and are generalized, so take everything here with a grain of salt. but i think its time to say i want to make clear that im not doing this to anything but give food for thought for people who like them and want to know out of curiosity, and not trying to insinuate anything about their personal lives that are not my business.
here are the links i found about these conjunctions:
mercury conjunct venus , second one
And some screenshots i liked:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here for sun conjunct venus
and some selected screenshots:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyways, thanks for coming to my TED Talk lol
Sorry for the weird screenshots, but they are readable lol (idk if the sun/venus ones are in order, but i think you can make sense out of it
Btw, here are Carlos and Charles birth charts separetedely

hi ks!! hope you're doing well. i absolutely love your hannibal meta posts, and while i have no idea if youd still be open to any asks, id love to hear your insight on something im stuck on (im also rly new to analysis so pls forgive me for any dumb comments!!) tw sa mention
in the hannibal s3e13 script when dolarhyde attacks will in his hotel room, there are a few lines with notable word choice:
Tumblr media
"postcoital" "terrible lover's embrace" it threw me off a bit bc i didnt expect such specific wording. is this scene an allegory for sa? i wasnt sure if this was just the norm for hannibal scripts or if this was something noteworthy.
as far as i understand dolarhyde is now terribly jealous of will for being the subject of hannibal's love and angry at being emasculated. lots of ppl also say dolarhyde wanted to "change" hannibal by ruining/"defiling" the one thing (will) he truly cared for.
everything seems to makes sense, but i dont know if im making something out of nothing, or oversimplifying it. do you have a take on this considering your opinions on the francis hannibal and will dynamic? id love to hear anything you have to offer!! ty for all you do <3
Another ask: hello!! so sorry to bother again, happy late birthday!! i was judt wondering if you got my ask about the will + francis scene in the script---totally ok if you dont wanna answer it! i would just love to discuss it because i couldnt find much discussion for it when i tried searching tumblr/google
--------------
Hey! Thank you so much for your ask and for your wishes <3
So, 'Hannibal' scripts are indeed famous for having rich sexual imagery. In this specific case, there is also context. I don't know if you've seen this already, but there is indeed evidence that Francis had sexual interest in Hannibal (apart from other kinds of fascination). From his notes made for the show, this particular bit (transcribed by Bentley):
“I think we are so similar and could be the best partners that history could have seen. Let me show you what we could do together doctor. I am so eager to please you to be your friend your lover perhaps. Why not I think we could love each other doctor. Don’t you want to have someone that is the one in your life. That special someone that is always here for you. It is me doctor? I am!”
Here’s an interesting part about Will as addressed to Hannibal:
“He faces you, he traps you but in the end he is broken! Do you think he understands you? Do you think he really appreciates your magical power? Does he realize how special and unique and wonderful you are doctor. I have my doubts, I don’t think he really sings the wonder, the salvation that can come from following you, knowing you. ”
That’s extremely interesting because it gives a much deeper insight into Francis and his motivations. For one thing, one of the phrases that always bothered me in the show is his description of Will - namely, the mention that he’s “not very handsome”. It’s from the books, so it might apply there, but Will in the show is handsome, very much so. Francis seems to resent him.
After Hannibal basically helps Will get to Francis in the museum & some more events later, Francis grows furious because he realizes that Will is the central player while he, Francis, is a pawn. Hannibal doesn't care about him the way he thought.
Francis’ attitude to Will undergoes some changes: at the start, he touched his photo, which denotes his interest. He threw him away like a toy in the museum, and while it’s just an interpretation, to me, he looked pissed at Will in particular. When he tells Hannibal later that Will interests him, it can’t be just from their museum encounter. Francis clearly knows a lot about Will (likely from Freddie’s articles), but he doesn’t like him because he thinks him unworthy of Hannibal, which his notes prove. But in TWOTL, in the moment you mentioned, Francis is very unsure about Will. He is no longer certain what to think of him (since he thinks Hannibal has chosen him). He automatically treats him with some sort of respect because of who he is to Hannibal and what he must represent.
I think this explains how they chose to describe the scene of the attack. It's not necessarily a sexual assault, but violence frequently has erotic undertones in 'Hannibal.' Here, Francis might be trying to look at Will like Hannibal, like a lover, hoping to understand what he sees in him. He's respectful and almost reverent at some points after Will regains consciousness. In his eyes in these moments, Will is Hannibal's partner, the man who has what Francis wanted.
Notably, this respect turns into fury in the finale, where he attacks Will viciously. Interesting that he goes to ruin his face first and foremost. Considering his own insecurity, it says a lot about his many-layered jealousy, from deep to a superficial physical level.

About the wreckers: Last Stand of the Wreckers is pretty cruel and fucked up(it's basically people getting tortured in prison, nasty stuff), but Sins of the Wreckers is just, idk, drama between exes and their son(this is oversimplified btw). Way less torture than lsotw.
- 💐
AAAH that must be what i was seeing around then.... hmmm yeah, i definitely like- I saw the wreckers getting butchered somewhere and i went 'no <3' because i know.... im a total sap and i will be in pain and i dont do well with that kind of brutality but yea!! ill check out sins of the wreckers sometime
