Imma be real I genuinely hope that the question as to whether Poppy and Viva have a biological mother or not never gets answered or even hinted at. I think it's cool how a majority of the Trolls characters don't have complete, nuclear families! It makes the whole family message stronger :D

there's a lot of ridiculous things about homestuck that people have made posts about but honestly my favourite that i never see anyone call attention to is that the main villain's origin story is quite literally this meme
i think this should come up more in lists of absurd homestuck plotlines that everyone thinks we're lying about

remembering that time i fired the very first part of dead man talking off to my friends, back when this blog was but a twinkle in my eye, and one of them said 'oh, okay, gloria. is this like a self-insert oc?' and i laughed and said jesus, i hope not, but looking back on it i wish i'd said yes not because it's true but because it raises a lot of very funny questions. there was a bit in the making and i didn't see it

speaking of consort queens, here's an exciting READING UPDATE:
edward ii's queen, isabella, went off to france a few pages ago and he was like "u make nice for us with ur brother the king of france and then come back by midsummer okay?" and she was like "yeah sure" and then she kind of loitered in france for a bit and then edward sent his eldest son - also called edward, just to confuse ppl - off to france to pay homage to the king of france for the duchy of wherever(1) and then isabella swooped in and collected the kid, which nobody was very fussed about cos he's her son too, and it's well past midsummer by now but isabella's been so meek and subservient like a good and proper womanly wife so surely she isn't going to do anything that -
WELL SURPRISE, MOTHERFUCKERS. isabella's now set up a rival english court in france and is wearing black and claiming she's a widow(2) and she is NOT sending the smaller edward back home he's hers now and he's the REAL king of england, oh and also she has a new man in her life called roger mortimer (pretty sure they are banging) who i assume is related to those troublesome mortimers from an earlier chapter and regardless of whatever happens next i am sure i speak for all of us when i say this is currently prime good-for-her-dot-gif material:
i think this is all probably treason in some way but fuck it a long-suffering queen can have a little treason sometimes, as a treat.
this post has FOOTNOTES because it is a WORK OF HISTORY:
(1) the kings of england were at this point vassals of the king of france for their lands there (yes this is indeed a bone of contention for them generally LOLOLOLOL).
(2) she says their marriage has been DESTROYED by edward's close relationship with his favourite Hugh de Spenser (not sure if they are banging or not) and indeed hugh has been working to displace her from her prior position of influence (she seemingly got on okay with his previous favourite, who was horribly murdered by the nobility several chapters ago).

I just realized a lot of the mess with House of The Dragon is reminding me of that plot in Vikings where they had Lagertha kill Aslaug for literally no reason, (she made peace with her like a decade prior, blamed Ragnar for cheating, etc), and also had Lagertha dismiss the idea of Ragnar’s sons with her mattering because “they’re born of a witch” even though the show did not treat völva this way, and it was a weird US Salem Witch Trials mentality to shove in.
And how I was supposed to then root for Lagertha and Bjorn against Ivar, when the whole mess started with Lagertha killing Ivar’s mother in cold blood. It always effected my ability to feel what the show wanted. I could not BELIEVE Ubbe sided with Lagertha either. Ivar had every right to want her dead.

Congrats to those celebrating! The Queen is Dead! :D

feeling so much pique this evening about how i just can never finish some plots i really loved because the rp site died or i've lost contact with rp partners. i could write fanfiction about it, but it's not the same without excitedly discussing the plots with a partner.
so i beseech you, tell me about your characters that have lost their plot, or who are stuck on a dead site
tell me about their plots
the unique characteristics they had due to the site's setting
the partners you've lost touch with
and tell me revival stories if you have them!
