Headcanon #400: Heart & Mind are usually never a neutral temperature. The area around them is like the sun & moon. Mind's being hot and Hearts being cold. They're body temperatures however contrast that with Mind always feeling cold like metal/machinery and Heart feeling warm like a literal heart.

#chonny jash #cj heart #cj mind #cj soul #depending on how negative or positive they feel makes it either a comfortable temp or an uncomfortable/unbearable temp #also feel like when they're more mutually chill with eachother [like in Light & We're Gonna Win] #they're still opposite temps but coexisting together #like perfect example is a spring & a storm [literal wise not just the songs] #spring being a nice warm breeze & maybe some very light rain. so together its a nice combo & its not too intense to make a storm #and then on the other hand #the storm being the two clashing & even making a tornado since the temperatures & winds are fight so much #the end of StAAS especially is vry musically stormy/tornado like with how the tempo gets faster & their lyrics clashing together too #[which btw chonny added in the tempo speeding up cos that's not in the og & I LOVE that detail SO much] #and then during THA it becomes an uncomfy cold and as Be Born & the beginning of StAAS its an almost unbearable cold #Heart gives up control to Mind so its like if a body *literally* lost its heart #as StAAS gets through its becoming warmer from Mind & then there's the storm feel at the end #TME starts annoyingly hot & gets worse & worse as the song progresses [also kinda like a computer is overheating] #TSE [and also just Soul in general] is neither. a very empty feeling even #since Soul is the shell/vessel [Whole without his Mind & Heart] he has no temperature at all. bro is just empty feeling #at best [or worst] Soul will be a sucky inbetween. if he feels cold & puts on a thicker coat he gets too warm. #if it's too hot. it'll just wear a t shirt but then it gets too cold [kinda like having the flu/a cold] #anyways the bidding is a harsh swapping between the two. changing between who's singing #the duet bit with M&H is similar to the storm but just circling winds that aren't as violent #by Two Wuv & VoaC its much more neutral and peaceful with Soul being able to feel the positive parts to the others temperatures #but thats enough inane ranting #i like the temperature idea can you tell? #most of this idea i got months ago from thinkin more about how the end of StAAS is like a literal storm lol #the og already had fun instruments swelling & stuff that made it have a storm vibe but CJ went ham on his #i love StAAS mayhaps a lil bit

something about how jason and piper make leo the best version of himself. the closest he comes to finding peace. and then frank and hazel bring out the worst and most self-sabotaging parts of him. and then jason and piper try to save him and hazel and frank help him die. 

#can't even blame frank and hazel because leo was literally tailor made to bring out the worst in them too in ways none of them can control #the fire the dead grandfather thats all nobodys fault they are all looking for their own peace #but jesus christ yknow? #and then percy and annabeth and him #simply do not give a shit #which is fair enough i suppose its all very mutual #leo valdez #frank zhang #hazel levesque #piper mclean #jason grace #its interesting because in trials of apollo the lost hero trio has become the tragedy #whereas in hoo they were the original trio and the most well-suited trio whereas the frank/hazel/leo trio was always going to blow up #bc it was always running on borrowed time the question was just who would pay for it #the c*leo of it all makes this annoying to analyze but i simply do not see it

I loved Cookie Run for near 5 years; I dedicated a large portion of my time to it and it was my main interest for years. But Ovenbreak has gotten so hostile, repetitive and just generally unpalatable to me that I haven't played it properly in a year and the last time I opened it was in September. I don't care about any new cookies, events, or anything that is released. It's crazy how I used to play it everyday for hours and would be desperate to find ways to keep playing it when I did everything and was bored, and now I can be bored out of my wits and still not even consider playing it.

I don't know what I expected from a gacha game in terms pushing purchases, but you'd think the game would have any appeal remaining. I still have favorite cookies but they aren't enough to make me want to play it again, I don't even think giving them an event would do it for me because Roguefort was in an event earlier this year and I didn't open the app at all.

It's crazy sad how a corporation can sap any love you had for something and drain you.

#I still have cookie run mutuals and I still enjoy my favorites without even #Playing anymore... So this isn't a dig at anyone if you still enjoy OB... #I'm just sad at how Devsis really lost me along the line #musings

my conspiracy theory is that part of daemon’s strained relationship with baela in f&b (not sure to what extent they’re going to go down that route in the show, especially as they seem to be somewhat butchering baela + rhaena) is due to gender envy.

#hotd #f&b #daemon targaryen #baela targaryen #ok hear me out. i find daemon most interesting when he’s being deranged re: viserys #and i at least think it’s quite clear he wants to be viserys’ consort #he wants a perfect valyrian brother/sister marriage with perfect valyrian children #and viserys is both his only option and also the tightest tangled thread of a relationship he has #but whoops! he’s not a woman. and even if he was he wouldn’t want to give up his rogue prince freedom #which he sees as mutually exclusive with womanhood #then along comes baela. his OWN daughter. #who is literally described as him in every way #how could he not be jealous? how could he not see everything he can’t have in her? #especially as she’s a masculine reckless woman who still ends up married to the man she loves #obvs he isn’t alive to see that but. of course he has to curtail and trammel her and make her something other than what she is #because what she is is exactly what he lost out on #i think gender envy is also an interesting dimension in his rhea royce failmarriage #masculine women are too much of a mirror

[wonder-worker]

I heard that Edward IV and Elizabeth Widvile were known to be very beautiful. Were there any reports on their appearance at the time?

anon 😂

But yes, contemporaries and post contemporaries in the 16th century were pretty much unanimous in praising their appearance. I'll list some of the ones I could find:

Elizabeth:

'The most beautiful woman in England' ('la plus belle fille d'Engleterre') - Jean de Waurin

'Her very great beauty' ('sa tres grande beaute') - Jean de Waurin

"Her beauty of person and charm of manner" - Dominic Mancini

"None of such constant womanhood, wisdom and beauty" - Hearne's Fragment; its author was one of Edward IV's servants

"A daughter of prodigious beauty' - 1469 Continuator of Monstrelet's Chronicle

"Both faire, of a good favor, moderate of stature, well made and very wise" - Thomas More

Edward IV:

"The beauty of your personage it hath pleased Almighty God to send you" - James Strangways, Speaker of the Commons in Parliament

"The king is a handsome upstanding man" - Gabriel Tretzel, travels of Leo of Rozmital

"A handsome prince and had style" - Oliver De La Marche

"In the flower of his age, tall of stature, elegant of person" - Croyland Chronicle

"One of the handsomest knights of his kingdom" - 1469 Continuator of Monstrelet's Chronicle

"A handsome and worthy prince" - Pietro Alipranto

‘...Tall and strapping as the king’ - John Paston, Paston Letters

"He was young and more handsome than any man then alive" - Philippe de Commynes

"A man so vigorous and handsome that he might have been made for the pleasures of the flesh" - Philippe de Commynes

"The handsomest prince my eyes ever beheld" and "I don't remember ever having seen a man more handsome than he was" - Philippe de Commynes

"A very handsome prince" - Louis XI, from the Memoirs of Commynes

"He being a person of most elegant appearance, and remarkable beyond all others for the attractions of his person" - the Croyland Chronicle, referencing Edward a few months before he died

"He seized any opportunity that the occasion offered of revealing his fine stature more protractedly and more evidently to onlookers" - Dominic Mancini, writing shortly after his death

"He was a goodly personage and very princely to behold...of visage lovely, of body mighty, strong and cleanly made; howbeit in his latter days, with an over liberal diet, somewhat corpulent, but nevertheless noy uncomely" - Thomas More

Etc.

I'm tagging @edwardslovelyelizabeth because I think you got a similar ask?

I hope this answers your question, anon! I don't generally pay a lot of attention to the physical appearance of historical figures (I find it pretty irrelevant), but in this case, it ultimately does play a role in both Edward IV and Elizabeth's historiographies for better and for worse, and seems to have actually been a personal prop of Edward's kingship, so I don't mind discussing it :)

#either anon is making rounds or someone else saw the ask and asked me something similar 🤷🏻‍♀️ #edward iv #elizabeth woodville #ask #also (I wanted to make a separate post about this but fuck it I'll just rant in the tags): #Something I find very interesting (read: fucked-up) is how we have multiple independent accounts praising Edward IV as extremely #attractive at the end of his life #Yet for some reason (aka fatphobia) most historians simply assume that he lost his looks over the years because he put on weight #even though his actual contemporaries (sans Commynes who in any case didn't even see him after 1475) certainly didn't seem to think so #as we can see: Croyland Mancini and More all noted the fact that he had put on weight AND emphasized his attractiveness #because the two are not mutually exclusive in the slightest and assuming that they are is not only incorrect it's also deeply problematic #it's similar to how so many historians assume his health was failing towards the end of his life when we KNOW - we are literally TOLD - #that his illness was both unexpected and baffling to contemporaries #(there is a contemporary reference to his supposedly deteriorating health but as Horrox says this is actually an editorial interpolation) #and the thing that's *always* referenced almost synonymously with this alleged non-existent ill-health is his weight #and the thing is - even if both of these were true they still ultimately wouldn't (and SHOULDN'T) matter. But we KNOW they weren't #and so it's incredibly indicative that historians and general histories STILL automatically assume them - and this assumption #is almost always on conjecture with his weight. (I don't think I've framed this coherently but oh well) #I'm still not over Katherine Lewis's deranged and frankly extremely ignorant epilogue in 'Kingship and Masculinity' #she literally framed her entire perspective on him around his weight with some really ridiculous (read: fatphobic) speculations/assumptions #she's even worse than Thomas Penn who is also revolting (and AJ Pollard isn't much better) #though of course they're not the only ones - almost every historian and general history does this

How I sleep at night after having made you feel bad for the character you didn't even know had lore:

PFFTTTT

WELL SWEET DREAMS THEN 💀💀

I swear, only you have this uncanny ability to interpret my favorite games in such specific and deep ways that catch me off guard lmaoo

I never thought hardly anything about Klimt before, I will be real, but now I’m like—wow, there’s yet ANOTHER sad example of the depressing way the world of Dark Souls sends people into lethargic and hopeless states. COOL.

#DS3 really always hit my feels too #the empty despair of everything is tangible #it makes you realize that ds1 and 2 were almost tame….like those were the good ol days #i get sad thinking about all the characters and how they just were lost #even this poor guy #SO YEAH SLEEP WELL LOL #asks #mutuals #dark souls 3

[simcardiac-arrested]

i don’t think we’re ever getting out of the “we’re just friends” “oh yeah those characters are such good friends (sarcasm)” “they’re not friends they’re gay” etc etc hole. we’re never getting out of that hole

#yes it’s bad when people try to erase gay relationships to portray them as friends and nothing more #that is NOT what i mean. i’m talking about when people do the Opposite Thing and decide that when characters are romantic togethr #then suddenly they’re not friends anymore! or if they say they’re friends they’re lying! #like … i was watching nimona with my friend yesterday and like. if you’ve seen the movie you know how obviously gay and in love bal and #ambrosius are. and then there’s this one moment where ambrosius says ‘i have lost everything the man i love my best friend’ and at that #moment my friend was like It’s sad that they decided to censor their relationship even though this movie is still rly gay :( and i was like #WHAT are you saying ? these two men are clearly in love with one another BUT they’re also best friends. Like those are things that can #coexist!! and DO coexist!!! there are many cases where people consider their romantic partners their best friends . or even refer to them as #their best friends more than just partner!!!!!! LIKE WHAT ARE YOU SAYINGGGG . does anybody get it #does anybody understand #i’m so sick of amatonormativity i’ll start eating drywall #yes i love making ‘oh they seem like really good friends’ jokes because i know how most people interpret those jokes. but to me it’s like #well. they ARE really good friends. they’re just also romantic/gay about it. ghhehghh #maybe one day friendship will stop being seen as something lesser maybe one day people will realize that most romance is also friendship #and your partner can be and in most cases is your friend or your best friend even #and maybe one day we’ll stop acting like friendship & romance are two mutually exclusive things #and maybe sure that gay character is calling their love interest their Best Friend because of denial and repressed emotions and whatever #but have u considered that it’s just true and they really are best friends ?? like when crowley calls az his best friend sure that might be #gay denial but they also literally Are best friends i don’t know what to tell you. and they will always be best friends #DOES ANYBODY GET IT !!!!!!!! js any of this making sense i dont know. I love complaining #crammerposting

Querl thinks in the early hours of the morning

Brainy/Lyle oneshot

975 words

If there was one thing Querl loved about working on Earth, it was the way it sounded in the early morning. Crickets and birds chirping in unison, the gentle howl of wind breezing by, the rustle of the flora outside, the occasional whistle of a hover craft passing by outside. It was all so calming, so wonderful. Combined with the soft colours of the fading dawn, it was one of the things Querl looked forward to the most in the mornings.

But nothing would ever compare to the feeling of waking up in the arms of his lovers.

Though lined with muscle built up from years of hero and spy work alike, Lyle was warm and soft. He radiated a sort of heat similar to an over worked computer or a lit Bunsen burner. To anyone else, it may have been overbearing, but Querl ran cold, so it was perfect. Almost as perfect as the plushness he had to his stomach, which Querl loved to sink his head into during quiet moments like this.

It was hard to believe that not too long ago, Querl would go days, if not not weeks or months, on end without seeing another person entirely. Cold labs and uncomfortable chairs were the way he used to spend his days and nights. He used to deem it a waste of time to make the trip back to a room he couldn’t even call his own every night. Sleep was a luxury he rarely indulged in anyway, so what was the point?

Things were different now, though. Now, he looked forward to putting away his laboratory equipment, packing experiments and data away for the night in order to fall into bed with the man he loved. He could hardly imagine spending a night away from him anymore.

Lyle lay sprawled out across the bed, nude aside from a thin sheet covering his hips and bunching up under one armpit. His chest rose and fell in a gentle, repetitive motion. Querl was strewn partway on top of him equally as nude with his legs thrown over one of Lyle’s own and his head nestled on his collarbone, shoulder wedged under his other armpit.

His eyes trailed over every inche Lyle’s face. From lashes so long they delicately brushed his cheekbones, to the mole that sat at the corner of his right eye. From the round cheeks he loved to plant kisses on, flushed with the heat of the night, all the way down to plush lips, parted as light snores escaped them.

Querl let his hand come up to stroke the heated skin on his lover’s chest and travel downwards. Smooth, scarred, smooth, scarred, that was the pattern of his skin. Markings that varied from thin white slashes, to splatters of dark discolouration that took up significant space. Their origins were widely unknown to Querl. His touches were feather soft as his hand came to a stop near the other's navel, though they evidently tickled as Lyle’s lips twitched in his sleep and a soft giggle escaped him before his expression settled once more.

Querl draped his arm across Lyle’s abdomen and brought a hand down to hold him around the waist, using his thumb to gently stroke his hipbone, where lay one of his larger scars, which spanned from his navel all the way around to his back. He knew the origin of this one. A mission gone wrong back when he was still working for earthgov, not long before he had joined the Legion. Apparently diplomats did not take well to being spied on during elections.

Lyle took a deep breath and shifted, rolling onto his side to face Querl, and he moved with him to allow the change in position. Lyle's eyebrows momentarily furrowed before smoothing out again, still deep in sleep. They were so close now that their chests were pressed together, their noses brushing against each other. He could feel each puff of warm breath ghosting against his lips.

Querl brought a slow hand up to brush a stray strand of hair out of Lyle’s face before tucking the length behind his ear with a gentleness that few would believe he had the capability of displaying. It was getting longer, he noted. His usual mullet was shaggier, the back almost falling past his shoulders and his bangs touching down against his cheekbones. Beautiful as always.

He ran his knuckles against Lyle’s cheekbone and then cupped his cheek in one cold hand and swiped his under eye with his thumb, careful to not apply too much pressure. His heart soared when Lyle leaned into the touch with a soft noise.

His eyes flickered over to the alarm clock sitting on the bedside table over Lyle’s shoulder. The bright red numbers blinking at him incessantly told him that it was 4 in the morning, about an hour and a half before he and Lyle were to head into the lab for work.

There was a point in time where he would have simply climbed out of bed and headed in early to best optimize his usefulness, but now such things concerned him not. He could not think of a better way to spend his time than this. Now, he was content to press a soft, butterfly kiss to the spot between Lyle’s eyebrows and snuggle closer into his warmth. And he did just that, slinging an arm around Lyles waist and tangling their legs together.

He never thought he was capable of feeling a love like this, nor did he ever think it would be returned so strongly. He had previously resigned himself to a millennium of solitude before Lyle came into his life and lit it up with the light of a thousand stars. Querl loved, and he was loved in return. He couldn’t ask for anything more.

Maybe together we can make this whorehouse.. into a whorehome

#my brother and I have this curse in minecraft where whenever we settle near a village the villagers always end up leaving #Ever since our pocket edition days and we don’t know why.

We almost lost the cleric of our cousin didn’t brick him up in his house #And apparently they changed the breeding system for villagers and I didn’t know until I had like 9 doors scattered around the village and I #Was like wtf why isn’t it working.. apparently since the v&p update you need to feed them AND get a bed with 3 blocks above so the baby can #Jump on it. So I made like a house specifically so I can lock them in there and they can. Breed #Affectionately named villager fuckhouse. But the problem is that we only have ONE CLERIC #Gamerule says the villagers will boink if the villager:bed ratio is uneven but again. the curse #And the next village over is 900 blocks and I’m too lazy to make a minecart rail to get our cleric a mate #I feel like the drivethrougg anon explaining this.
