I know I KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT but I really cannot fucking get over how this hits-
If the stars were edible
And our hearts were never full
Could we live with just a taste?
-with the interpretation that the stars are fucking celebrities that he means himself and then the voracious public, never full, like it’s blowing my mind right open

everyone likes to make fun of damen saying his argument at the trial was just “your honor he is innocent bc. i love him” but that’s not true at all!
damen speaks specifically of laurent’s character and behavior with his army, his servants, his people, and his devotion to vere in general. he calls laurent dedicated and honest, all relevant contradictions to the accusations made against him in this stupid ass trial.
he gives a coherent testimony about laurent as a person from his perspective since the first time he met him on the way laurent was outside of the fact that they were lovers and AFTER that the very last thing he adds in for a little flavour is that damen enjoyed laying with him implications of that being basically no guys laurent is not a depraved freak
and in fact the first person who claims damen’s testimony is just a love declaration with no weight is the regent.
which it's not to say that it wasn't a heartful declaration when it was, but it was also a valid testimony for god's sake, literally no worse than guion’s was. it just wasn’t aligned with the regent's intended result of the trial.

Curious about what everyone's priorities and goals are. I've tried to be as general as possible and avoid intracommunity issues. Obviously we all want all/most of these things but try to choose something you feel especially passionate about, or a cause you would (or do) donate your time towards.
Please add anything I've missed (there's lots!!) in the comments.

i have such a lovehate thing going on w muu's character bc i am so familiar w this kind of person and they are soooo frustrating.
like its easy to write her off as like a two-faced manipulator hiding her true nature until the second trial but she absolutely reads more to me as someone who is like. just chronically incapable of acknowledging the harm she can and has caused.
i think she truly honestly believes her murder was justified because she is so completely focused on how bad it felt to have her friends and her own bullying tactics turned against her that it never even occurred to her to think about her past behavior and why this might be happening. shes muu! cute, delicate, sheltered, a bit naive, she could never hurt anyone! so the fact that she did must mean they started it. oh shes waaay too much of a weakling to do something scary like that on her own! her no good friends were putting so much pressure on her! she was under so much stress! and it would just break her heart to think you were mad at her, so youll forgive her, right?
shes so frustrating because she doesnt see her own actions as malicious, she only sees herself versus the vicious mean bullies who are attacking her, so even if shes declared guilty i cant envision her like learning anything from that. she'll just decide es is another meanie attacking her for no good reason.

What if: Gris n Ingo, but more sapphic✨✨
Had a thought of what a fem! Ingo could look like and my hand slipped while sketching!
Gris is still non-binary but just a lil more androgynous and less mullet mohawk hair stuff going on, and Ingo’s sideburns would just turn into longer locks of triangle hair but also pretty wild studio ghibli hair.

I’m not sure why many people felt crossed when Merthur is seen as “just friends”.
I think it’s more fascinating that their relationship can be so close and beautiful without romantic elements. It’s harder to write than a good romantic story in my opinion.
Being soulmates doesn’t have to be romantic couple. That’s why there’s a separate term. “Lover” doesn’t necessarily equals to “the most important person”, “ the closest person to one’s heart”, or “ the person one loves the most”.

can't reblog that poll about 'how do you boil water' still too traumatised by how many people default to using the microwave. i rarely even drink tea and i have an electric kettle for such occasions as a friend visiting or attempting to save energy by boiling water in the kettle before transferring it to the hob for pasta-making.
