#squire talks

[squireofgeekdom]

Going on maybe five or six years ago at this point, I tweeted that if we ever got a nonbinary transformer I would love and cherish them and buy their toys. It wasn't exactly a commitment I ever thought I'd actually have to make good on, and definitely not one I thought I'd have to make good on twice, but!

Never let it be said that I am not a nerd of my word.

Now joining Acid Storm - here's Nightshade! They have knives. They turn into a character from a book series they're obsessed with. They're a bit odd and prone to going off by themself to do science and make things. Did I mention they have knives. Truly a nonbinary character targeted at me, specifically, and I love them.

Shout out to @maecatt (who I told about this twitter vow and my search for an Acid Storm toy back at TFCon in 2019) and all the other creators making more nonbinary characters for our screens. So glad there are kids growing up with Nightshade as part of the transformers family.

AU where the directors' plans get derailed because Bal wasn't able to hold Ambrosuis back in time and the ceremony got delayed because he beat the ever-loving shit out of Todd

#obviously you can't hold the knighting ceremony when the poster child golden boy is detained and your back up is in the hospital #and of course this gives diego enough time to find ballister again and be like 'hey by the way Mr. boldheart sir' and shows him the video #nimona movie #nimona #nimona of course overhears ballister talking to himself about what to do and is like 'we're overthrowing the government? count me in!' #ambrosuis is only even in trouble about it because it's elite on elite violence #n ballister #n ambrosius #n director #n nimona #n todd #n squire #jack.txt

Damage control

#dnd #d&d characters #my pc in this campaign has a wife who used to sneak into his window when they were like nine #and demand that he teach her whatever he just learned in squire training wrt swordfighting because her dad wouldn't let her learn #and she eventually got caught and obviously couldn't tell her dad she was learning to use a sword so she was like ''uuuhhhh I love him dad'' #and her dad knowing full well this boy comes from an aristocratic family was like ''k hold on I'll talk to his grandfather'' #and so she accidentally got them betrothed to each other for once they were old enough to marry #which she at first was like ''ugh but he's such a dork'' until she one day decided boys no longer have cooties #now they're 25 and have two kids #and she was able to openly practice swordfighting with an actual teacher once they were married so now she's Real Good At Swords #corruption's hold #harboretum comics #D&D

Anyway third time travel au idea because I have no self control

Genesis doesn’t get grabbed by Deepground but isn’t allowed to join with the lifestream so he just kind of wanders as a force Lifestream ghost and watches over Cloud because there’s… not much else he can do.

(He tried following Sephiroth, or the thing that was once Sephiroth really, for a while. The mix of guilt and grief and fury has nearly knocked him senseless and made him ache for his materia… and a physical form to use them.

It would be a mercy to end his once friend, he knows. Sephiroth would have hated to be anyone’s puppet. )

So he follows Cloud, a not so silent spectator as he watches the man save the world.

And then do it again.

And again.

There are others watching now, Zack who had thrown a spectral arm around his shoulders and called him soft, the ancient girl with her sweet smile and sharp eyes.

It her that offers it. The chance to change all of this as the thing puppeting one of Genesis’ best friends bodies resurrects itself once again.

What meaning does time have to the three of them? They were as much of the Lifestream as they were not. What was to stop them from going back and changing all of this.

He would never admit to it, but Genesis had grown fond of the man who was once the boy, of the one who stood between the world and destruction time and time again. How could he not after following him for so long? Truly a hero worthy of the Godess’ blessing.

And Genesis… wanted better for him than those ever tired eyes and lonely days between fights spent kneeling in a shattered church staring at his hands for hours at a time. Better than silent panic attacks in dark rooms before he took up his sword to slay his demon yet again. Better than the never ending drive to move forward when all the man wanted was rest.

Perhaps he could give that boy something better. Give him a world that didn’t need saving. Give him rest after all this time.

No hate; only joy, for Cloud was beloved by the Goddess.

Nothing will forestall Genesis’ return.

So in the end he goes back and has to figure out how he’s going to get his hands on his son future apprentice, make sure he and Angeal don’t start to degrade again, and stop Sephiroth’s Not Mother from assuming control all while he’s still technically a teenager himself.

The Not Vampire he collects from a certain mansion isn’t incredibly helpful for any of those goals, but Cloud is fond of him or will be anyway and Genesis is nothing if not generous.

Not to victim blame or whatever but lord londonderry was so funny for insisting on living in the people fucking with you for a laugh capital of the world and then screaming crying throwing up when people there started fucking with him for a laugh. unsure what he expected to happen

also while i wait for books to come in at the library i am finally taking my own advice and rereading imperial radch and !! truly. my memory could not capture how much of a ride just the first couple pages are. breq truly the Most protagonist of all time. 'this person dying of hypothermia is irrelevant to me. don't know why i'm picking her up and helping her.' 'im working so hard to seem not-radchaii here are all these rules i'm guessing at' *gets called radchaii immediately'

#i must have a squire - x tag for imperial radch but i cannot for the life of remember it so here we go #squire in the republic of two systems #squire talks

#photos of my guitar my dad posted to his blog years back when he bought it #it’s the most beautiful guitar in the world. it feels warm and alive to play #as you can see in the first two pics it used to have a newer pickup installed on the bottom. luckily he found an era appropriate online #it’s from 82 if you were curious #it says squire on the headstock but it was made on the fender line. they bought squire out and swapped in the name soon after this #but he got it a little cheaper than it was worth at the time because people aren’t as autistic as him and don’t know about production lines #basically it wasn’t brand name #basswood body and dark rosewood on the neck 😋✌️ #it’s actually a replication of a ‘62 model! which was 20 years old at the time. mines now twice that. isn’t that incredible #i actually saw a modern fender replication of this exact model in an op shop yesterday #for more or less exactly how much this was bought for #dad finished his blog post by saying he thinks this is better made than the original. and despite not knowing the og i’m inclined to agree #people in the comments of his post are saying that this era was supposed to be something special. hehe. they’re right #i’ve played many guitars. i own this one because my dad collects them and he let me try them all out #and i have a lot of friends who play guitar and ive hung out with them to do so #and i’ve never felt one like mine before or since. it’s so obviously beautiful #when i picked it out i hadn’t played much but i knew right away how good it was. i prefer strat bodies because i can hug my torso around #them without getting poked like a tele and the necks are thinner than acoustics (small hands. bad) #unless we’re talking parlour #love a wee parlour. pa has a little one he got for 30 bucks that’s one of my favourites of his #he’s insanely good at finding deals #he fixes them all up #anyway. the body feels #how would you even describe it #heavy. and alive. warm and wet and still full of sap #i feel like it’s breathing #it’s sort of the only thing that motivates me to be better. i could cry just thinking about it. i want to be good enough to play it

Yeah, the Knights of the Round Table are cool, but what about the Squires of the Round Table? I want to know about the pack of hapless adolescents that are supposed to be learning the finer points of knighthood from THEE most chaotic bastards to ever share a braincell.

(Merlin unknowingly becomes, like, the patron saint of squires bc if he can handle Arthur, they can handle their respective masters as well)

no ok i'm in love with this. the squires of the round table is the spin off i didn't know we needed, but by GOD am i glad you told me, anon.

(you are a GEM, anon, i'm in love with you)

the squires for knights are the round table's adopted children. oh, sorry, was that kid the son of such and such??? he's leon's boy now. they all have youngest sibling syndrome so sorry i don't make the rules and yes they do treat merlin like he's a mob wife.

anyway,

these squires would get up to so much shit omfg. if you're the squire to gwaine, have fun upsetting your noble father (because most squires come from the nobility and since arthur took down that rule when he became, then there became this influx of squires who were from the common people) and learning that doing illegal shit is the best thing and you've only tasted a sliver of what gwaine has been doing since he was 13 but you LOVE IT---

squires of sir leon are trained into how to become the mom friend. it's not much, but it's hard work. sometimes the little squires pity their knight because he is not paid enough for for the antics his other knights and king get into ("poetry??? seriously, is that what they told him???" "idk that's roland said" "maybe we should gift him some more moisturizer?"). yes they do treat sir leon with the respect they would give an older cousin.

sir elyan is very new to all this...squire business but he's not one to let his little men (little brothers tbh) be caught slacking. he has them run drills everyday and they complain about it all the time ,but then you'll find them in an empty room perfecting their forms, and making sure it's perfect because sir elyan deserves the best. and he called nathan's form "superb" but nathan's a bitch and you just think that if you get this form right---

elyan teaches his squires moves that were taught to him by tristan and isolde because they totally worked together while elyan was away and he respects them so much and misses them and wonders if they ever got the chance to settle down and breath like they had dreamed

sir percival is second on the list of knights who teaches his squires the more traditional way (first is leon obvi) but that does not mean he let's them fall behind with dirty tricks. listen, this man was friends with lancelot (honorable, noble, dreamed of being a knight since he was prob 15) so he knows the intricacies of knighthood; however, he is also besties with gwaine and elyan both of whom are a chaotic combination if put in the same room. the squires are granted the perfect balance of swishy swordplay and body slamming a bitch. sleeves??? don't know her. the squires beg percival for them to cover their arms and he is offended.

sir lancelot, the epitome of honor and loyalty, is a force to work with. the squires think that he'll be the one whose teaching will lead them far off adventures and gain cool ass scares. lancelot is actually the old coot who grants wisdom like an old man who's lived two lifetimes. his training is unusual but somehow it works. the chores he assigns aren't demeaning, nor are they used as punishment. you are lancelot's squire for a week and you immediately understand that this man is a man who has his heart on his sleeve and you watch as he gazes at the king, the queen, and the manservant. his eyes always fond and full of...something. you are too young to pick up on a deep and unconditional emotion like that. not yet.

#WHOMST DO I HAVE TO PROPOSE TO???? #like the ring is right here i am on my knees please will you give me the great honor of taking my hand?💍🥺 #all the squires have a designated night where they go to the tavern and just talk about their knights #some nights it's a competition to see who's knight is the best or who's knight is the most difficult #'oh you scrubbed the floors for hours :)))) how about shoveling horseshit out of stables until and i am quoting sir gwaine on this: #'the smell resembles more of hay than that pigstye' #'oh gwaine gave you tips on how to pick locks??? well sir elyan taught us how to shoot arrows while riding' #just the most petty and heated competitions ever #if you insult their knights??? you dare insinuate that one was being treasonous or unworthy of their knighthood because of status???? #prepare to face the wrath of of about two dozen adolescents who's mentor figures are the most feral bunch of men to ever walk the earth #please this is beautiful #anon thank you so much imma give you a kiss *mwah!* #Anonymous #bbc merlin #camelot knights my beloved #knights of the round table #sir elyan #oh yeah sir elyan also converts his squires to the hoodie agenda #sir leon #sir percival #sir gwaine #sir lancelot #headcanon #long post #i could add more about arthur and his squire pre/post merlin but i think that's already discussed so yeah #ask #squires of the round table

ive been going to these two record shops since i was 14 so almost 13 years and the owner of one of them helped get me into prog and every time he sees me these days hes like "what esoteric prog are you looking for today" and i have to be like..... gryphon :(

#i actually got vital by vdgg today there!! its been there since may which like how #vdgg usually gets snatched up #i guess because its live idk #not to go on a tangent but ill never forget the day he pointed out chris squires solo album #the one i eventually got signed <3 #i was having like sinus issues that day and i was sooooo out of it #and he pulled it out and handed it to me and i was like in a daze #i just looked at it in my hands #i remember where i was in the store too #weird. #a beast that can talk

The misunderstandings because of Anya's mind reading are way too funny in this chapter. This is what happens when you give superpowers to a 4 year old girl.
