just here to remind you about The Princess (2022), a fantasy action film starring Joey King and Veronica Ngô (Quynh from the Old Guard!) it's got some INCREDIBLE fight scenes and it's a distinictly feminist fantasy film, which is so rare. it was directed by a Vietnamese director, Le-Van Kiet, also known for directing Ngô in Netflix's martial arts film Furie (2019).
The Princess is also unfortunately one of the films being removed from Hulu (Disney+ in non-US territories) on May 26th, so watch it while you can.

In Your Stead (Just You And Me, Until The End)
What happens when, after drowning under the sea for centuries, Quỳnh wakes up on dry land - in Andromache's body?
Any relief is short-lived as they keep switching back and forth, never in the same space, and if Quỳnh can't get free from the iron coffin soon, the switches might actually be killing Andy...
Andromache, 33k (53k series), complete
Rated T for the most part, smut scenes can be skipped if you follow the chapter notes.

Portraits of Friends
Artist: Nile Freeman
Created with Dreamscope and Photoshop
Photo credits: x, x, x, x, x, x, x
Nile took photos of the gang first, so they wouldn't have to pose for hours on end. She wanted them all to look at the camera, classic posing, only a hint of a smile, if any.
Took a while until she got a useful photo of Joe because he kept laughing. Nicky had such heart eyes over that shy sunshine pic of Joe, though, that Nile couldn't not paint it.
Quynh all suited up and Andy with a pearl necklace and showing some cleavage? You can bet your ass that those two went on a fancy date later that day.
Nile whipped out the warmest, happiest colors for Lykon. It's what he deserves.
Fuck Booker for making her paint hands. (affectionate)

Opening Fire by Greg Rucka. Art by Leandro Fernández
Series: The Old Guard, #1
Read Time: 4 Days
Rating: 4/5
The quote: "Mother of God."
"I know.
You do not want to get in Andy's way when she's got a mad on." — Nile Freeman & Sebastien 'Booker' le Livre
Why yes I am reading this because of the 2020 Netflix film. To a degree, I can't help compare this to that film, which I will do first to get it out of the way. Okay firstly there is a major difference in one of the plot points pretty much everything about Noriko/ Quỳnh is a bit different and the ending is different. But it is a very good adaptation with large parts of the scripts using dialogue directly taken from these comics. That is most obvious with Joe and Nicky. Their two iconic moments in the film ("incurable romantic" and "Malta") are taken directly from this. It has been explained that Noriko's name was changed to Quỳnh to reflect actress Vân Veronica Ngô Vietnamese birth.
Of the missing or severely altered traits and moments aka something closer to the works as it should be read and reviewed. It's so sex-positive. Andy is sleeping her way through her immortality and the only judgement made on her for that is that it isn't a healthy coping mechanism not about the act itself. She is so fierce and her relationship with Nile is fun, there is little in the way of combat. The comics are written from Andy's perspective, she is almost talking directly to the reader as she talks about her history and that of Booker, Joe and Nicky. In the film, we are given Booker's dark story for why they break from humans, but Andy has another story. His name is Achilles and this story provides a brilliant complement to Booker's darkness a potential. The colouring of these pages is much brighter than most of the others. The colouring for the whole book is intelligent, providing contrasts and telling something of its own story. I like the character designs too. The guards, in particular, they look so huge and brutal almost like walking walls. The styles of all the characters are wonderful, they are all distinct. The chapter breaks are smart too, well-known quotes about war and love. Calling it a fairy tale is a good choice that is what it feels like, a messed up and maybe slightly more realistic fairy tale.

let's fight with gentle words til time lend friends, and friends their helpful swords as the court seeks the presence of their sought after.
four wanted connections have been added.
𓏲ּ ֶָ 𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑠𝒕𝒗 ⁝ CALYPSO of house MALLISTER, the LADY of SEAGUARD requests the presence of their BETROTHED at court. their portraits seem to resemble harris dickinson, marina ruy barbosa, any femme or masc fc - and whisperers among the court seem to say the following regarding their relationship: amphitrite has orchestrated this betrothal behind calypso’s back, and her youngest daughter is not pleased. calypso wants nothing to do with her family save for a handful, and thus does not acknowledge this betrothal. she ignores them, despite their best effort to be civil. i would like them to grow past the whole ‘ you were picked for me therefore i don’t like you ’ and grow into good feelings, but if that’s not something you’d like to do, that’s fine! any house or region that is not from the iron islands is welcomed. you need not seek contact with @DIVINATIO to discover the truth behind these whispers. this particular dynamic seems to be NEGATIVE WITH POSSIBILITY FOR POSITIVE in nature, and for a noble of over twenty two but under thirty name days it is most surprising.
𓏲ּ ֶָ 𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑠𝒕𝒗 ⁝ AURELIA of house MANWOODY, the RULING LADY of KINGSGRAVE requests the presence of their SPOUSE at court. their portraits seem to resemble aldis hodge, andrew koji, himesh patel, john david washington, janelle monáe, veronica ngô, fan bing bing, anna diop, utp - and whisperers among the court seem to say the following regarding their relationship: aurelia was arranged to marry the heir to kingsgrave a little over a decade ago. it was an excellent arrangement, aurelia wanted out of the vale and the manwoodys needed a tie to westeros, another connection to the north to continue to push against dornish independence. in the intervening decade, they have become an excellent team, aurelia whispering strategy into her spouses' ear as they continue to fight the martell-lead drive for dornish independence. it's only now, ten years and a few children into this marriage that things seemed to have heated up, lingering touches and longing gazes. it would be shame to ruin an effective partnership with something like love. you must seek contact with @gracvlvss to discover the truth behind these whispers. this particular dynamic seems to be POSITIVE in nature, and for a noble of 33+ name days it is most surprising.
𓏲ּ ֶָ 𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑠𝒕𝒗 ⁝ LILITH of house LANNISTER, the LADY of CASTERLY ROCK requests the presence of their BETROTHED at court. their portraits seem to resemble utp - and whisperers among the court seem to say the following regarding their relationship: nickname suggests something pristine, white + untouched, blossoming in morning light ... what a far cry from the truth ! lily is a lannister, through + through, hot blood + sharp teeth, + god knows how many have borne their unique print on tender flesh. not something best made public, of course. enter: a betrothal, arranged swiftly + without consultation from either involved party. / pls bring lily's betrothed ! it was pushed very, very quickly bc she has a habit of fucking around n finding out n flew a little too close to finding out. very much arranged by their families as, effectively, a pr stunt to cover up shit on both sides - their actual feelings towards each other are v much up to being built ! you need not seek contact with @sancrosanct to discover the truth behind these whispers. this particular dynamic seems to be POSITIVE in nature, and for a noble of 27+ name days it is most surprising.
𓏲ּ ֶָ 𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑜𝑠𝒕𝒗 ⁝ THEON of house STARK, the RULING LORD of WINTERFELL requests the presence of their WIFE at court. their portraits seem to resemble im jinah, emilia clarke, hande erçel, shay mitchell, kylie bunbury, ni ni, demet özdemir, pat chayanit, any fc - and whisperers among the court seem to say the following regarding their relationship: all his life, theon expected that he would marry solely for duty until he met her. the emergence of his feelings caught him so off guard that for a period of time he did his best to deny them, but try as he might he kept looking for her in a crowd and she wouldn't leave his thoughts. whether she was also in denial, oblivious to theon's feelings, or trying to win him over is up to plotting! however by the time they wed in winterfell's godswood, genuine love existed between the couple. their love and trust in one another has only grown stronger in the years since, and following the death of theon's father, they have worked together to ensure that the north remains strong. a true power couple. this muse can be from any region but preference for the north, riverlands, vale, stormlands, or dorne. you must seek contact with @steelfyre to discover the truth behind these whispers. this particular dynamic seems to be POSITIVE in nature, and for a noble of 30-35 name days it is most surprising.
