I am really enjoying reading The Bound and The Broken series by Ryan Cahill.
After so many years not reading fantasy, I feel like I have catching up to do.
Between reading fantasy and non fiction about ancient civilizations, I am making all kinds of progress world building for Vale.

So like...Inuyasha's decision to steal the Jewel and become a full demon rather than using it to become human and joining some village is interesting. I mean I get it,, he's had to literally fight to see another day. But this implies that Inuyasha is maybe ...afraid...of being human?? We know he believes humans are weaker. ....but maaaaybe it has to do with witnessing his mother's death as a kid. So being terrified has probably been his default mode for a very long time..
Which is why his rash agreement to turn human when Kikyo asks isn't just him taking a crazy ass risk. It shows that he's more afraid of being alone than being dead. lol. owie. haha.
#inuyasha#things I'm going to be muttering to myself when I'm in the nursing home lol#reading back this might be obvious but idk i think we focus a lot on his insecurity about being weaker than demons#but he still baby tho you know?#he scare#THIS ALSO MEANS THAT HES A GAMBLING MAN#not afraid to put skin in the gameeeeee boi

last month when fall out boy made the executive decision to play just one yesterday for the 8 ball at my show, that move launched me to the outer edge of our solar system and i have yet to come down from that high. every time the song comes on i am on cloud nine, still in disbelief it Actually Happened.
last week i saw my cousin and he cheerfully asked, “how was the concert?” i answered casually, “it was good, it was really good!” but i had to bite my tongue because i wanted to go into great depth about the 8 ball segment, the song they chose, last time it was played, how so very special it is to me, how badly i wanted it, and how mind blowing it is that everything lined up and that’s what i got. but, i held back. because not only is there not another soul in my life as Insane about this as i am, they all Really Don’t Care.
#god is testing me and my strength to be normal about this#sad fact of the matter is i haven’t told my best friends about this detail or anything regarding the show bc i know they don’t care#only one of them has read about it through my ig stories and where i shared the video. but that’s it :(#babble post#music mutters#fall out boy

So, @silv-paru sent Sherlock Holmes for the character opinion bingo. thanks a bunch for this (and for your patience. my god, i’m answering this a week late. typical me behaviour). you’re a darling :D
Did you know, i used to tell these stories to my friends? they delighted in them AND i got a chance to sort of ramble on and on abt him and watson. it was a win-win, really. ah, those were the days! now i haven’t reblogged much of him this month at all. i miss him. I MISS HIM.
Onto the bingo: well. he’s The quintessence of gender™ to me. and i relate to him so so much. fav character of all time fr. i want to carry him in my pocket at all times & study him. like. do i want to BE him OR am i IN LOVE with him, ykwim? pssh who knows? certainly not me. uh-huh ‘a beast unleashed’ -does this refer to me or him? you choose. oh re: canon, i’m ignoring the part where holmes dies (or y’know, is dead for 3 years). that’s too angsty.
#sherlock holmes#my dearest blorbo#he’s my belovedest chewtoy basically#if i think abt how modern adaptations *looking at you bbc sherlock* have ruined his character i get so angry i have to take deep breaths#*mutters darkly* he is NOT an arrogant cold-hearted bitch like he’s portrayed; well he IS a bitch but not a cold-hearted one!!#see. the thing abt holmes is that he’s SUCH a sweet boy okay. and he’s compassionate#he cares sooo much. that’s the reason people come to him when they’re distressed. they trust him#he hates the police. he is a jester at heart. loves his watson#he’s here to help the truly desparate helpless people even if they have no money to pay him for the case. no questions asked. But-#he fucking despises obnoxious rich men. the first time he meets watson a total stranger he *very excitedly* tells him abt his experiment#it’s very adorable. he never stops trying to impress ever. infact blushes furiously when complimented by him#my guy has 0 knowledge of our solar system but he’s written several monographs abt different types of ASHES. go figure!#OH i almost forgot the most important fact he’s special to me bc holmes is an audhd gay disaster bastard. sometimes he’s even bisexual#but mostly he’s acespec and in a qpr w watson. he’s VERY adhd. behaves like an excited cat and oh so cute when he stims. everytime he does#i go SQUEEE. when he’s depressed it’s a goddamn hashtag big mood. as in many other ways he is me i am him#he’s PASSIONATE and KIND that’s all you need to know#acd stories are about just some guy who loves his job (which he invented himself btw after quitting college) that’s it#i am overcome with an almighty need to squeeze his cheeks#he’s everything to me <3#alright if i don’t stop now i doubt i ever will LMAO bye#acd holmes#if u read till the end u get a cookie and a kiss on the nose i love u#silv tag 💞

the 7 as the babysitters club
kristy thomas: annabeth chase: i don’t need to explain this one
claudia kishi: leo valdez: bad in school despite their intelligence, consistently feel inadequate despite being geniuses in their own right, seen as annoying and irresponsible by those around them despite the entire premise of the series resting on their tiny shoulders. legends only.
stacey mcgill: jason grace: bad bitches...blondes...the duality of man...torn between past versus present pretense versus reality control versus freedom...trying to define what “home” really means...
mary anne spier: hazel levesque: frequently underestimated. romantics with sensitive spirits. trying to be their own person and maintain their sense of wonder. wanting to see what the world has to offer them despite being scared.
dawn schafer: piper mclean: piper’s not obnoxious or a White Activist but like dawn she's unfairly hated and doesn’t eat meat. and like dawn she’s a real one who is committed to living as an individual and doing right by herself and by others.
mallory pike: frank zhang: frank’s author clearly hates him much less than mallory’s hated her. but he IS the awkward one of the group that is his thing! like mallory he also suffers more than jesus in his own head.
jessi ramsey: percy jackson: humbly is and will always be the most talented player in the game. hot, funny, moody, misunderstood, deeply kind. legends only.

rereading animorphs and once in a while marco will say “people dont understand the word ruthless. they think it means ‘mean.’ its not about being mean. its about seeing the bright, clear line that leads from a to b. the line that goes from motive to means. beginning to end. its about seeing that bright, clear line and not caring about anything but the beautiful fact that you can see the solution. not caring about anything else but the perfection of it.” and then repeat it, over and over, "i can see the bright clear line and i know she can too" as he tries over and over again, as he tries to lead a group of his friends to kill his own mother, who is host and slave to the leader of a race of parasitic slugs who have so much genocide and incomprehensible crimes on their hands its impossible to describe in a succinct post
and then they go to school the next day and giggle about cinnabon, play video games, and steal back a doodle saying "cassie ♡ jake" from another students house. bc theyre all like. 13 years old. and the second they stop having to carry the weight of a species and a war on their shoulders, theyre really fucking written like 13 year olds k.a. applegate did such a good job with this series
#youve heard the memes but like im totally serious when i tell u k.a. applegate shoved the horrors of war down the throats of middle#schoolers across the country and yelled THEY WILL TRY AND GLORIFY WAR TO YOU BUT WAR ISNT GLORY ITS UR FRIENDS DESSICATED BODY IN YOUR ARMS#ITS 'rachel moved. her leg frozen to the ground did not'#ITS 'jake watched his guts spill. remorphed nearly drowning and attacked. jake watched his guts spill out again. he remorphed nearly dr-'#ITS rachel muttering 'i am the warrior king' as she sobs into the ground#its cassie doing brain surgery its marco understanding why the chee dont commit violence so he does the violence himself#its cassie trying to stop genocides its tobias eating roadkill because he has to fight a war and to sleep in a bed is to give up the war#its its its ITS A GOOD SERIES#im making animorphs and gregor the overlander required reading for every child whose parents talk about soldiers like theyre a good thing#m text

The tech industry is a huge part of the Israeli economy (accounting for 50% of Israel's exports) and the Israeli government loves their tech sector because it's been indelibly married with their larger military industry complex. Many of the high-tech surveillance and security systems monitoring the Gaza wall, for example, are the product of Israel's massive tech-sector, and all that is for sale to the highest bidder.
So hearing Israel be audibly anxious about how mobilizing a huge swath of their citizenry for ethnic cleansing is hurting their economy, their precious tech sector in particular, fills me with only the pettiest schadenfreude.
But the anti-capitalist in me is also mesmerized by this new portrait of dystopia Israel has dropped. That of the citizen-soldier that must also continue to work part-time while soldiering:
Early on in the war, Raz [a software engineer] was at his base within a few miles of the border with Gaza preparing for a mission, while simultaneously talking on his phone with an overseas customer about a software project.
"I had to juggle between those two," recalls Raz, sitting in his company's glass-walled office with a view of the Mediterranean Sea in the distance. "I remember it being super, super hard."
Israeli aircraft were firing guns overhead while Raz was talking business with a client.
"One of the customers asked, 'What's this noise?' and I had to explain that this is shooting sounds," Raz recalls.
It's like being an "essential worker" but instead of COVID it's a goddamn war. You could write an entire book about the absurd concept of a soldier being force to juggle his job in a warzone for the sake of the economy.
The tech sector in Israel builds a huge number of military and intelligence (i.e. spying) systems, which they export to other countries. It's such a vital part of Israel's entire economy that the IDF is actively pulling back soldiers to lessen the burden on their workforce.
Israel's own economic anxiety has done more to temper their war crimes than international pressure has so far managed.
#also it's just frustrating to read this NPR article and how it doesn't really interrogate anything in it#when they're usually a bit more critical in their usual Israel coverage#NPR#Big Tech#Israel Hamas War#IDF#Israeli Government#Israeli Apartheid#Capitalism#also just hearing an Israel soldier about how ''super super hard'' his job is though I couldn't resist muttering:#Gosh that must be so *DiFfIcULt* for you I'm sowwy.#🙄

I finished The Kingfall Histories series by David Estes in less than two weeks.
Those were not short books but I was so hooked.
The stakes are pretty high through the entire series, so the end wasn't a big build up, but the expansive epilogues made up for that. It was a satisfying meandering through the peace most of the characters found after the brutal events of the series.
I am going to read the Fatemarked series at some point by the same author, but I am going to take a break from addictive fantasy series for a minute. lol

RE: SRAR - I 100% agree with you, that it is a very red album to me too!
The Pheonix. Light 'Em Up. Death Valley. Young Volcanoes. So many of the song titles directly use imagery of fire, or miserable, all-consuming heat. I don't think it's a coincidence that the first two songs I mentioned are the two we heard first, and they both invoke the idea of burning everything down, in order to build something new. Even the poem you hear at the beginning of the "Miss Missing You" video ends with something like the words "Burn 'em all", iirc. And it's perfectly fitting, for where the band were then; They've passed through fire, and they're now reforged from the flames with new purpose.
And there's also, of course, plenty of red imagery throughout the Youngblood Chronicles, too. The aforementioned fire. The snakes with their red bands that appear a few times. The red pickup truck. The apples. And of course the blood. So much blood!
"Don't trust a band that wouldn't bleed for you" after all, right?
yes to all of this 😩 that's the thing i love about save rock and roll, it's the way songs are intertwined, often tightly, and there's a very consistent theme throughout every facet of it's creation. those themes are blatant with other records as well, but this one is very in your face about it – to me at least.
even songs that don't mention fire or heat in their titles still touch on it in their lyrics. "your hot whiskey eyes have fanned the flames / maybe i'll burn a little brighter tonight / let the fire breathe me back to life," "if heaven's grief brings hell's rain," and of course "rat a tat" is absolutely littered with fire references. i suppose you could even count the smoking of cigarettes in "where did the party go" as an indirect fire reference, as a flame is needed to light them and they glow orange from their heat. eight of eleven tracks involving flames of some sort is certainly painting the album as red.
and yes, the quote at the beginning of "miss missing you" – that was later added to copies of the record – drills the point home that the album has a specific theme. quoting it because it's so post-apocalyptic to me and i love the image it conveys:
they just sat back laughing at the wounded city, each breath sucking in ashes and fumes. oh it bled all right; drier than moore county. all expatriate fumes hurrying to find new nations of blinding dust. but the two of them. they just squinted at that pipe-cleaner skyline, and it burned hotter in their oil slick pupils. one elbowed the other and said "i've seen better." knowing that they were paid to remember the past - he blew out a hot breath and said "burn it all."
it's just so good?? and it makes so much sense being paired with "miss missing you" but also as an addition to the album. i don't know.
and touching back to the intertwining of songs, the redundancy of lyrics is so fun. some may argue it a lazy tactic, but imo it works so well that it's not. not even close. i've said it once and i'll say it again, "alone together" and "young volcanoes" are sisters to me, twins even. "this is the road to ruin," "when rome's in ruins" / "and we're starting at the end," "we're the beginning of the end" / "do you wanna feel beautiful," "do you wanna feel a little beautiful, baby." and the "and i said, i'll check in tomorrow if i don't wake up dead" between "alone together" and "rat a tat"? i love it so, so very much.
and of course the call backs in "save rock and roll" to "chicago is so two years ago" and "sugar, we're going down" is very fun and a [leonardo decaprio whistling and pointing at the tv] moment.
anyways, back to your original ask on color before i got completely side tracked (but felt i had to discuss). i am so glad you brought up the various calls to red in the youngblood chronicles as i have a project i've been working on for save rock and roll's 11th anniversary and it heavily revolves around red. and i can't elaborate because even i have no idea where i'm taking this lmao. i'm just going where the wind (curious thoughts) takes me.
so yeah. sorry for going off. i was on topic mostly until i became distracted by lyrics and the little cd booklet.
tl;dr: you are 100% right when you said "so many of the song titles directly use imagery of fire, or miserable, all-consuming heat" as the album is a scorcher in so many ways, and certainly is red through and through.
#when i first read your ask i was like. oh they put so much thought into this. they are so smart and articulate. i hope i can be too.#i was not. i was bubble brained but i accomplished my goal of that original post: rambled on about save rock and roll#(boy did i ramble)#ask#anonymous#music mutters

I like to imagine that Crowley is responsible for some of the worlds most famous alien sightings
When thoughts of extraterrestrial life began circulating with humans his first thought was 'Well shit, if only. I mean, I helped make THE REST OF THE UNIVERSE you'd think more of it would have been used.'
But then it turned into being so extremely amused by the possible chaos that he began appearing to hapless guys in the plains as a little grey man. He'd project illusions of UFOs into the sky over villages. He'd bury crazy wired shit in tombs or with a snap of a finger modify an already ancient mural to include a suspicious object or alien on it.
Eventually he started getting really into setting up elaborate hoaxes, miracleing government instruments to pick up strange signals and what have you.
He justified it to hell by saying it was a great way to make people question Gods existence and sow doubt- but really he was getting a huge kick out of seeing people FREAK out. It also in an adjacent way made some folks more interested in space in general, which always made him secretly happy.
He's responsible for the Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting, for the Roswell Incident, the Belgian Wave, the Westall Encounter, and a TON of others. In the modern day the fruits of his labor are totally realized and there are endless podcasts, TV shows, online forums and conventions all centered around aliens.
He's not responsible for EVERYTHING but most of the famous and credible ones are products of his effort.
He stays up at night watching videos about aliens, many of the famous 'species' being funky little guys that HE designed. Hes kicking his legs and cackling the whole time, nothing quite amuses him more and in so many ways he's also sort of flattered. He loves it.
Now like most of his big projects he gets duped by his own creation. There are plenty of sightings that have nothing to do with him and some species that he didn't invent. He found himself getting sucked into the podcasts. The interviews with ex-government employees. The crunchy videos of blurry flying triangles and lights.
At one point he starts thinking 'well you know i wasn't in charge of ALL of space... Some other angel could've slipped something in another galaxy.. or even by accident made conditions sustainable for life by just evolution... Politicians are the easiest to corrupt in my experience too so I wouldn't be surprised if theyre hiding something 🤨'
Though Aziraphael doesn't technically like that people are getting tricked or possibly traumatized by the sometimes terrifying illusions, he is always very complimentary of Crowleys creativity and overall supports his 'hobby'.
#good omens#I AM CORRECT#i just cant get over the mental image of Crowley watching YouTube videos about a famous sighting and just cackling to himself#kicking his feet in joy#and muttering 'ah yes was quite prouda that one'#crowley#aziraphale#aziracrow#ineffable husbands#gomens#aliens#extraterrestrial#ufo#you know for a fact that hes watching ancient aliens on the couch with Azi#hes getting reallt heated at stuff that was just regular human ingenuity#'I KNEW THE GUY WHO MADE THE PLANS FOR THAT BRIDGE/TOMB/CASTLE' 🤬#Or getting being REALLY proud when something he did gets covered#Or being intrugued when its something he cant explain#meanwhile Az is just like 'thats great dear :)' and goes back to reading

☕️ OTP: Nameless ladies
(Yes, I am targeting you with this) ≖‿≖
Your emoji looks like Nanami smiling before realising she is adopted.
2.
Th€yne? Thram$ay? Gre¥$now? Nah man, let's Stan the true unproblematic hot Ironborn x thirsty Mainlander OTP:
Captain of the Myraham's daughter x Hagen's beautiful red haired daughter.
I want them to hook up. Let the captain of the Myraham's daughter live her erotic saltwife fantasy with the one (1) woman in Asha's crew that we know of, the one ironborn hot murderous pirate who would actually understand the struggle that is to act as a narrative prop for some authorial entity to showcase one of the Greyjoy's siblings lack of ideological integrity.
I have been marinating in my own theories with little to no contact with the fandom since 2016. I have a lot of weird non-sensical thoughts that might be overreaching in their significance but you know that already and the worst possible thing that could develop from posting this is that people will laugh at it.
I think that Kyra and Urri serve as similar narrative props for Theon & Aeron, I think Jeyne & Falia also serve as similar narrative props for Theon & Aeron and I also think that the Captain of the Myraham's Daughter & Hagen's beautiful red haired daughter serve as similar props for Theon & Asha.
In Theon's case the concept of the captain of the myraham's daughter has already been discussed countless times and in all honesty I don't have much to add to it. Yes, he does treat her rather disrespectfully, he does take advantage of her in a way, he doesn't really care for her physical pleasure, he is dismissive of her uneasiness and has a few unkind thoughts about her which made him so loathsome, but all in all I wouldn't call him abusive or violent. Just disappointing.
There is something unbelievably funny about how bad that sexual encounter goes though. The captain of the myraham's daughter is endearingly enthusiastic about the concept of thraldom and salt wives and even begs Theon to take her with him, something he denies her.
Why though? He has been romanticising the Old Way (Or what he thinks he understands about this idolised and romanticised view of the Old Way) the entire journey and if he truly considers himself to be one of the exemplary Ironborns who would take what they wanted with no qualms, why does he leave her there? She could have even served as an example of virility or status, a mark to say "I am Ironborn. I haven't forgotten our history and culture."
But no, he just leaves her there to the mercy of an angry father.
I know she has been read as a narrative vessel hundreds of times and she is one, but the message behind her presence varies depending on interpretation and, to me, this could be (among other things) a way of displaying Theon's subconscious lack of ideological compromise, which we see often through the text (his reaction to the raids on the stony shore, his disappointment at how commonly the other Ironborn treat him, Smiler, etc.)
To me Hagen's beautiful red haired daughter is also evidence for an ideological divide concerning Ironborn culture and tradition, but she is there to signify Asha's, not Theon's.
Ironborn culture is so interesting to me and I tend to think of it more fondly than I'm probably supposed to because of hundreds of reasons I've already told you about and one of those is that it allows women more liberties than most of Westeros but still chains them to a place of submission compared to men. A woman might be the captain of her own ship, which would make her a queen if going by Theon.
"If every captain was a king aboard his own ship, as was often said, it was small wonder they named the islands the land of ten thousand kings." (Theon | ACOK)
I think on the video games they could even become priestesses for the Drowned God, so if going by that as canon world-building (we shouldn't but it would be cool) they could also find a place in religious organisations. They can be stewards. The only two female stewards we have met in asoiaf are Iron Islanders (Manifesting for Noseless Jeyne to become Pyke or Harlaw's steward at the end of ADOS).
And yet...the most gender-non-conforming Ironborn woman we've met, asides from Asha...doesn't even get a name.
It seems curious to me how Hagen's beautiful red haired daughter is only known as that: "Hagen's daughter" and this coming from ASHA out of all characters who is actively struggling with her culture's sexism in order to get the seastone chair for herself.
Most Iroborn characters are referred to by mentioning some physical feature or disability accompanying their name, but in her case, instead of her name, we get her father's name used with a possessive apostrophe.
The main difference between Asha's character archetype and Hagen's beautiful red haired daughter's, is that one of them is lowborn and the other not, which could be a way of highlighting how class differences still exist among Ironborn, who consider themselves to be equals in their superiority of other races but still have a feudal hierarchy, but in all honesty the class issue is (in my opinion) overshadowed by how both characters identities are so depending on their fathers.
The text often remarks on Asha as someone who was "groomed" (the very use of that word in fanon text already has some unconscious troublesome connotation I don't agree with) into her personality by her father.
This girl forgets herself. Balon let her believe she was a man."
"Balon’s sons are dead. All I see is Balon’s little daughter!" (Aeron | AFFC)
Never do they ever speak of her as "Asha" when it is about her wanting the crown; it's about Balon's daughter. (In a way it reminds me of the Northerner's going to save Arya and also not referring to her as such. They speak of "Ned's girl")
But anyway, I never really expected them to refer to Asha as Asha, but I would have hoped Asha would have been conscious enough of her struggles to recognise her fellow warrior woman as more than just her father's shadow.
Whenever people speculate on how Asha's interactions with other gender-non-conforming women (ex. Brienne, Arya) might look like, I just think of Hagen's beautiful red haired daughter. and wonder whether this comes from a place of class privilege or unconsciousness against the thing she is consciously fighting against.
I have no idea what Asha's endgame might look like and usually, I like seeing her as Theon's puppeteer, but if we have to witness her settling to be the unofficial ruler or perhaps not even a ruler at all, it would be sad to see her haunted by her father's shadow. It also makes me wonder whether she really ever had a chance at the Kingsmoot.
Whatever, another possibility I like to fantasise about is simply that Asha and Hagen's beautiful red haired daughter hooked up, dated, had a messy breakup and now Asha is trying to distance herself from her.
That's a funnier alternative. Would also add angst and maybe some comedic potential to the nameless ladies OTP.

your tags on my hadestown gifs are giving me life lollll as a hadestown tour truther... that cast may have been the best one i've ever seen. and i'm so sorry you missed j antonio rodriguez!!
fellow tour casts truther here and i am shaking your hand so hard—i looooooooooove seeing the way the characters change from cast to cast, how the interpretations shift, what new actors bring to an established role, etc, etc. j antonio seems like an amazing orpheus and i'm so incredibly jealous of everyone who got to see him live, but i also got to see chibueze ihuoma in an earlier show and he too is chef's kiss, frankly. so i can't be mad. all orpheuses is valid. all eurydices is valid. all tour casts is valid.
thank you for giffing this cast though! the colors so vibrant the motion so smooth the lines so crisp. beautiful gifs. i am fed on this night.
#chatter#asks#thank you also for reading my tags. i am just out here muttering under my breath to myself day in and day out#hoping that someone will take pity on me and be like hey...what are you talking about bud?#and when they do well. then they have fallen into my trap.
