In 1983, geneticist Mary-Claire King (left) explains to Abuelas de la Plaza de Mayo [Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo] Nélida Gómez de Navajas (middle) and Estela de Carlotto (right) the technique that will be used to identify their grandchildren stolen during the last civic-military dictatorship of Argentina (1974/6-1983) and prove their kinship in court, el Índice de Abuelidad [the Grandparentage Index]. It's estimated that between 400 and 500 children were taken throughout this time.
Estela was able to hug her grandson, Ignacio Montoya Carlotto, nieto #114 [grandchild #114], in 2014.
Nélida died in 2012 and did not get to meet her grandchild. It was announced two days ago, 28 July 2023, that his identity has been restored. 11 years after she died, 40 years after this photo was taken, and 46 years after his birth to a illegally detained and still disappeared mother, Cristina Navajas, he's been found. His father and brothers are here for him. It is still a victory.
Welcome to the truth, nieto #133, y abrazo al cielo Nélida.
Venceremos.
#i was so so sad for her and her daughter when Nelida died#but watching Miguel change the number on the wall and say his brother is bostero too was beautiful 🖤#argentina#abuelas de plaza de mayo#mary claire king#ana says stuff#todo está guardado en la memoria#arg tag

Angst/Horror prompts: “I gave you everything and this is how you repay me?” for Morgana and “Breathe slowly, show no signs of fear.” for Mary.
Fury, cannot properly describe her simmering mood.
Morgana has been many, many things, a docile princess, an apprentice, a witch, a traitor, the mother of monsters. The list could be parchments long, she’s choosing not to dwell on it.
But now as she is knelt here, forced into a shallow bow before the throne her father once sat, a cruel man in itself.
She’s next in line to befall a horrific fate under the crown.
“Death isn’t enough,” Arthur decrees, pointing Excalibur down at her, in his shadow, below him, “not for you, dear sister.”
She fights the sneer trying to twist her lips. Showing him her discontent will only fuel his pride. And its quite a wide expanse, he’s always been too prideful, even as children.
The manacles dig into her wrists, cutting at the skin, restricting her movements.
Even the knights stay a wary distance away, their swords glinting in the harsh sunlight through the stained windows.
“I gave you everything and this is how you repay me?” She asks pointedly.
Her filthy half brother raises a brow. “Everything? Is that how you dictate treason?”
“Treason,” Morgana laughs hoarsely, “I saved your life too many times to account for.”
“You freed those trolls! You and your magic wielding accomplices!” He bellows and the people nearest flinch, unsteady with the kings rage.
Her handmaiden is amongst the crowd, good, they hadn’t suspected her despite her hand in the freedom of the trolls. Dark eyes scowling up at Arthur, waiting.
Morgana can sense the darkness wafting closer to the girl, intertwining it’s vines of plague upon her.
It seems she’s already decided her fate all on her own, shard of dark magic included, Morgana will let her walk her own path, even if it falls into oblivion.
Some cannot be stopped, their will too powerful to calculate what they could lose, or perhaps they don’t care.
“Your slaves?” Morgana hisses, acknowledging her brother, “Those you bound unlawfully?”
Arthur raises his chin, “Creating those creatures has been the final straw, those hideous amalgamations of human and filth.”
“They are the bridge, a sign of waning times.” She calmly announces. “Your reign is ending brother.”
“Preposterous!” Arthur swings Excalibur, red in the face with his rage. “The dungeons will be the last walls you see, your days end in a cell, wasting away.”
“Merlin, I want her taken—“
It seems then Arthur finally realizes his powerful wizard was never in the room to begin with, what he thought was his shadow wastes away into the dark, a mere diversion.
Morgana smirks.
“You’ve underestimated me again brother, all of you have,”
Murmurs fill the crowd, her handmaiden has stepped back, weaving through the bodies to end up at the doors, the lock swinging between her digits menacingly.
The girl is an incredible listener, Morgana will give her that and as she hears it click into place, locking each and every person in attendance inside, all the corrupt dukes and duchess, nobles.
The cuffs are weak magic, Merlin’s power is great yes. But it cannot hope to defer the sheer magnitude of hate when infused with magic.
Iron slides off her wrists as she rises, and she gets the most satisfying experience of watching Arthur’s face twist in horror, her hand rising to aim a broiling gold blast straight at his chest.
“And that will be your downfall.”
(That one scene in the Wizards intro where they have a proper battle in the throne room would have been so sick, and this kinda..slots into Tulips of Time? In a way)

For au ask roleswap au with Morgana and Merlin trading roles as well as Douxie and Claire
Claire was the daughter of lesser nobles, and her powers awoke when Morgana was visiting their castle. If Morgana hadn't been there, then she would have been executed. Instead, Morgana made Claire her apprentice.
In this AU, Merlin wanted to be the most powerful wizard left standing, so he didn't go against Arthur. Morgana, on the other hand, was actively working towards peace. Merlin didn't like that, so he tried to silence Morgana. What he didn't expect was for Arthur to side with his own sister.
If he couldn’t rule Camelot, Merlin wouldn’t let anyone rule. Therefore, he sided with Gunmar. Morgana needed an amulet capable against Gumm-Gumms, but she didn’t want humans to continue to oppress trolls. She wanted to give them power that they could choose what to do with.
The Amulet of Eventide is gold with a purple gem. So sad that it clashes w/Jim's style 😔
Morgana knew she wouldn't be strong enough to actually defeat Merlin, so she sealed him away. She hoped that the Heartstone (which is green in this AU btw) would drain him of his power so she could eventually come back and destroy him for good.
Throughout the centuries, Claire played many roles and went by many names. She also befriended a dragon named Archie.
Douxie was the orphaned son of a single immigrant woman who was murdered. He grew up in foster care before being adopted by Ophelia and Javier, who had given up on having a biological child (Enrique was practically a miracle for them).
Jim still tried out for Romeo. Mary played Juliet, but the in-cast romance was actually between Jim and the player of Tybalt, aka Douxie. (Under the Grit-Shaka’s influence, Jim tried to rewrite the play from Romeo and Juliet to Romeo and Tybalt. It didn’t work.) They tried dating for a few months, but by the time Jim went to the Darklands they had agreed that they were better off as friends.
Merlin doesn't create changelings. What he creates are his knights, who used to be humans or trolls but become corrupted. The most powerful of these knights was Angor Rot. Why was? Well...
Due to stealing Angor's Ring of Avalon, Douxie’s powers as a wizard awakened. However, this also connected him to Merlin. Thanks to his friendship with Jim and Toby, Douxie became the first Knight of Merlin with free will.
After defeating Merlin, Douxie stayed in Arcadia Oaks so that he could recover from his time as a knight. He was not happy to go back in time with Claire to Camelot where Merlin was still alive and scheming.
send me an au and i’ll give you 5+ headcanons about it

"rn I feel like reading about someone's quiet daily life, maybe a diary or letters, set in a place or context I don't know much about, without turmoil or tragedy" oh! do you have any recommendations for books like this?
This is one of my favourite types of books! Here are 30(ish) recs...
May Sarton's The House by the Sea or Plant Dreaming Deep
Gyrðir Elíasson's Suðurglugginn / La fenêtre au sud (not translated into English unfortunately!), also Bergsveinn Birgisson's Landslag er aldrei asnalegt / Du temps qu'il fait (exists in German too)
Gretel Ehrlich's The Solace of Open Spaces, which iirc was originally written as journal entries and letters before being adapted into a book
Kenneth White's House of Tides: Letters from Brittany and Other Lands of the West
Sei Shonagon's Pillow Book
The Diary of a Provincial Lady, E. M. Delafield
Growing Up with the Impressionists: The Diary of Julie Manet
Elizabeth and Her German Garden by Elizabeth von Arnim (do not read if you don't like flowers)
The Road Through Miyama by Leila Philip (I've mentioned it before, it feels like this gif)
The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating, I keep recommending this one but it's so nice and I love snails
Epicurean Simplicity, Stephanie Mills
The Light in the Dark: A winter journal by Horatio Clare
The Letters of Rachel Henning
The letters of Tove Jansson, also The Summer Book and Fair Play
The diary of Sylvia Townsend Warner—here's an entry where she describes some big cats at the zoo. "Frank and forthcoming, flirtatious carnivores, [...] guttersnipishly loveable"
The Letters of Rachel Carson & Dorothy Freeman were very sweet and a little bit gay. I mostly remember from this long book I read years ago that Rachel Carson once described herself as "retiring into her shell like a periwinkle at low tide" and once apologised to Dorothy because she had run out of apple-themed stationery.
Jane Austen's letters (quoting the synopsis, "Wiser than her critics, who were disappointed that her correspondence dwelt on gossip and the minutiae of everyday living, Austen understood the importance of "Little Matters," of the emotional and material details of individual lives shared with friends and family")
Madame de Sévigné's letters because obviously, and from the same time period, the letters of the Princess Palatine, Louis XIV's sister-in-law. I read them a long time ago and mostly I remember that I enjoyed her priorities. There's a letter where she complains that she hasn't received the sausages she was promised, and then in the next paragraph, mentions the plot to assassinate the King of England and also, the Tartars are walking on Vienna currently.
Wait I found it:
R.C. Sherriff's The Fortnight in September (quoting the author, "I wanted to write about simple, uncomplicated people doing normal things")
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Betty Smith
Pond, Claire-Louise Bennett
Rules for Visiting, Jessica Francis Kane
The following aren't or aren't yet available in English, though some have already been translated in 5-6 languages:
ツバキ文具店 / La papeterie Tsubaki by ito Ogawa
半島へ / La péninsule aux 24 saisons by Mayumi Inaba
Giù la piazza non c'è nessuno, Dolores Prato (for a slightly more conceptual take on the "someone's everyday life" theme—I remember it as quite Proustian in its meticulousness, a bit like Nous les filles by Marie Rouanet which is much shorter and more lighthearted but shows the same extreme attention to childhood details)
Journal d'un homme heureux, Philippe Delerm, my favourite thing about this book is that the goodreads commenter who gave it the lowest rating complained that Delerm misidentified a wine as a grenache when actually it's a cabernet sauvignon. Important review!
Un automne à Kyôto, Corinne Atlan (I find her writing style so lovely)
oh and 西の魔女が死んだ / L’été de la sorcière by Kaho Nashiki —such a little Ghibli film of a book. There's a goodreads review that points out that Japanese slice-of-life films and books have "a certain way of describing small, everyday actions in a soothing, flawless manner that can either wear you out, or make you look at the world with a temporary glaze of calm contentment and introspective understanding [...]"
I'd be happy to get recommendations in this 'genre' as well :)
#book recs#i should have posted this ages ago but i was waiting to finish the book i was reading to see if it#should be added to the list#but in the end it wasn't worthy#sorry for the delay!
