(cont) Ace woke to a /lot/ of people camped awkwardly in his bar, waiting for him to wake up - there was a tact agreement that it might not be best for the man who literally /fought a god/ to wake up in unfamiliar surroundings; he might come up /swinging/. Ace probably stumbled downstairs, braids askew, and made a beeline for the phone - he had PRIORITIES, and making sure that Uncle Ardyn hadn’t ACTUALLY cheerfully declared war on the Astrals on his behalf was one of them.

Someone tries to interrupt him on his way to the phone and Ace puts a finger to their lips and goes “Shhhh,” before continuing on his way and phoning Ardyn to make sure that Ardyn hasn’t actually declared war on the Astrals.

The others only hear one side of the conversation which for some reason involves a lot of sighing and ‘uncle no’ and even more instances of ‘uncle what the fuck do you mean you defected from the empire after blowing up the shrine to ifrit in the imperial palace. what the fuck.’

Regis is concerned. Everyone at that point is concerned. Ace’s uncle worked for the empire? Ace’s uncle was willing to blow up a shrine to the Astral that attacked his nephew? Just who is Ace’s uncle?

Also in the Astrals!Reveal AU: Ace probably stares at Cor, horror twisting in his chest, as he remembers that his Uncle made him SWEAR to ask the Immortal if he would consider a date with the Accursed should he and Ace ever actually meet.

That question gets answered when Ace hangs up the phone and just stares at Cor for a good minute or two before:

“My uncle wants to know if you’d go on a date with him,” Ace says blandly, “He also says that he can kick your ass so you should consider it.”

“Who is your uncle?” Cor asks.

Ace grimaces. “Niflheim’s former chancellor.”

There’s a choking noise from someone, Clarus probably, and Ace shrugs.

“So, uh,” Ace says, turning his attention to Regis and Noctis, “Hell of a family reunion, huh?”

No he doesn’t.

But also now I’m imagining that he sees Cerberus on the battlefield wreaking havoc on the Glaives and warps over in front of whoever Cerberus was about to eat and just:

Jean: “Sit!” And Cerberus sits. And his tail wags and his head tilts and its like he’s asking if he’s a good boy.

The clerks at the most exclusive clothes shop in Gralea have a love/hate relationship with Ardyn.

They love him because he spends a lot of money.

They hate him because he is extremely picky when it comes to his clothes and before he can find something he likes, the entire shop is going to be upside down.

jean: comes out of dressing room with tons of oversized tshirts and flannel in his hands “We’re getting these”

ardyn: damn near has a heart attack. how could his son betray him like this

#ardyn has a kid au#i mean; ardyn does accept it and buys jean the comfy clothing he picked out but also#makes it his mission to find fancy but comfy clothing for his son

It becomes almost a very weird father-son tradition. Ardyn tries to find comfortable but fashionable clothing his son will look good in. Jean tries, but - most of the time, there’s nothing that really appeals to him; every once in a while, however - well. Everyone once in a while, Ardyn’s heart leaps for joy as he and Jean agree on an outfit.

Jean has a copy of the Hat. He - doesn’t wear it very often, because it’s - precious to him, in a way. Putting o the hat means that Jean means serious business.

A bunch of dogs, including my own, eat Gravy Train. It’s a very affordable wet canned dog food, so many people buy it. and my dog has to eat it because she’s lost most of her teeth and can’t chew.

Whoa, I didn’t realize that it was so deliberate, I honestly thought it was unconscious

Scary, scary.

Gonna add on to this:
From the other side of the bar, I see this crap all the time. Seriously. I work at a high-density bar, and let me tell you, I have anywhere from 10-20 guys every night come up and tell me to, “serve her a stronger drink, I’m trying to get lucky tonight, know what I mean?” usually accompanied with a wink and a gesture at a girl who, in my experience, is going to go from mildly buzzed to definitively hammered if I keep serving her. Now, I like to think I’m a responsible bartender, so I usually tell guys like that to piss off, and, if I can, try to tell the girl’s more sober friends that they need to keep an eye on her.
But everyone- just so you know, most of the time, when someone you don’t know is buying you a drink, they’re NOT doing it out of a sense of cordiality, they’re buying you a drink for the sole purpose of making you let your guard down. So:

Tips for getting drinks-

1. ALWAYS GO TO THE BAR TO GET YOUR OWN DRINK, DO NOT LET STRANGERS CARRY YOUR DRINKS. This is an opportune time for dropping something into your cocktail, and you’re none the wiser.

2.IF YOU ORDER SOMETHING NON-ALCOHOLIC, I promise you, the bartender doesn’t give two shits that you’re not drinking cocktails with your friends, and often, totally understands that you don’t want to let your guard down around strangers. Usually, you can just tell the bartender that you’d like something light, and that’s a big clue to us that you’re uncomfortable with whomever you’re standing next to. Again, we see this all the time.

3. If you’re in a position to where you feel uncomfortable not ordering alcohol:

Here’s a list of light liquors, and mixers that won’t get you drunk, and will still look like an actual cocktail:

X-rated + sprite = easy to drink, sweet, and 12% alcoholic content. Not strong at all, usually runs $6-$8, depending on your state.

Amaretto + sour= sweet, not strong, 26%.

Peach Schnapps+ ginger ale= tastes like mellow butterscotch, 24%.

Melon liquor (Midori, in most bars) + soda water = not overly sweet, 21%

Coffee liquor (Kahlua) +soda = not super sweet, 20%.

Hope this helps someone out!

Backing this up from years of bar tending.

Shirley temples and Roy Rodgers are just soda drinks. And have no alcohol and will normally go over someone’s head that it’s not going to get you drunk !

My husband doesn’t believe me that shaving your legs is difficult and time consuming. So long story short he is about to shave his legs for the first time.

Update: he is part way through one leg and regretting his decision. I got him to switch from his men’s razor to my woman razor (his is for face shaving) and it’s going slightly better.

He is hating shaving his legs. HATING it.

Update:

My husband from the shower: how many notes does your post have?

Me: roughly one for every YEAR you have been in that shower!

Update:

BEFORE:

AFTER:

He says it was ridiculous and he can’t imagine having to do it again in a few days time, it’s much harder than shaving his face (he had previously claimed they would be abut the same). He says he feels he has learned a lesson!

Edit: He also pulled a muscle while shaving his legs! He said it was like exercise. “Yoga in the shower with razors” indeed!

Update: he has been rubbing his legs together in bed for ten minutes.

*another one bites the dust plays in the distance* but really thank you! <3 <3 <3 <3

Ace is in prison.

Ace does not want to be in prison, and given his occupation, it’s a miracle he’s only been in prison a few times before but he’s never been in a Lucian prison. It’s a new experience, and one he’d much rather not be having.

Well, Ace thinks to himself, Things can’t get much worse.

He’s wrong of course because over the course of the week he spends in prison, things do in fact, get much worse.

Ardyn shows up in Insomnia five days after the news breaks that his nephew is in Lucian custody.

He is not pleased. He is less pleased when he finds out that it was Regis who ordered Ace be imprisoned.

Luche visits to tell Ace what has been going on.

“Nyx, Crowe and Libertus are temporarily suspended while an investigation is being done on their ties to you and Niflheim,” Luche informs Ace, “I saw your uncle-” the word is said with a sneer, “-being escorted to the throne room.”

Ace pales. “Ardyn is here?”

“Yes.”

Ace lets out the foulest curses he knows and warps out of the cell that held him.

“Sorry Luche,” he says, “But I gotta cut this short.”

(cont). Nyx raises an eyebrow, but agrees, and Jean leans forward, kissing him chastely. “My blessing go with you, Nyx Ulric of the Kingsglaive. May it be a light to you when all other lights grow dim.” Nyx is still Kingsglaive. He is brimful with Regis’ power - but Jean weaves a familiar twist of his own purple-pink energy and lets it linger on his lover’s skin nonetheless. It won’t hurt. It might help. (cont)

(cont) And - later. Later, when the Ring of the Lucii burns hot in Nyx’s hand, when there is an Oracle behind him and a traitor general in front of him, a memory from the past catches him just as he’s about to don the Ring. /Try again before you put the Ring on/. And Nyx, hopeless, *reaches* for the power Regis once gave him - and there’s something there, in the hour of his greatest need. The claim Jean placed on him once, flaring to light and life and granting his lover /magic/.

Oh. Oh that’s a beautiful image. And so compelling too? And I can see how it would unfold so clearly in my mind and I can see Jean desperately wanting to be there when Insomnia falls if only to help Nyx but he feels like he’d be more of a burden with how helpless he is after he exerts a good amount of energy so he stays away but despite it all he still hopes that Nyx will come back alive.

(And maybe he does show and help Libertus get Luna out of the city. Maybe he somehow manages to save Regis and Clarus too. Maybe Jean and Crowe get them out and Jean heads back to find his lover. To his relief, Nyx is alive and Glauca is dying and they have things to talk about one the people he’s claimed as his is alive and that makes all the difference.)

Jean is, not impressed his father made him come with him. He’s less impressed to find that his almost-boyfriend-sometimes-fuck-buddy is supposed to be his guard while they’re staying in Insomnia.

Noctis et al have met Jean before, they met Jean while in a bar and Jean seemed nice enough. Now they find out that he’s the Chancellor’s of Niflheim’s son and it’s weird and Noctis feels a bit betrayed even though Jean looks as tho he’d like to be anywhere else than here.

Regis wants to talk to Jean. Without his father present. So when Ardyn moves leave and Jean goes to follow he asks for Jean to stay. Jean and Ardyn share a look, Jean gives a slight nod, and Ardyn allows it.

The conversation with Regis is odd, it involves Jean implying a lot of things, including that he’s the reporter that the Nifs have been chasing for years and that he knows about the prophecy. Regis wants to know more but someone comes into the throne room and says that Ardyn is requesting his sons presence so he lets Jean go.

Nyx probably laughs disbelievingly at the sight of his sentinel taking on five glaives and winning. And then, because this is Nyx, he also probably finds it really attractive.

Sentinel!verse: A new Nifleheim envoy arrives at the Citadel. Said envoy is confronted with the sight of sentinel!Ardyn snoozing in a patch of sunlight and hugging a long-suffering Nyx like an overlarge teddy bear. New envoy: “What did you do to him?!”

The new envoy nearly has a heart attack when he sees the man who was the ruler of Niflheim in all but name snoozing and holding onto his guide like a teddy bear..

Ardyn hears the envoy and promptly rolls onto Nyx in a way that looks like he’s just shifting but is actually an attempt to shield his guide from the envoy’s gaze.

Everyone in the Citadel has great fun trolling the hell out of the new envoy.

Thank you! And combined with other things that are gonna be revealed I wouldn’t be surprised if people thought that tbh. Jean and Ardyn probably cackle quietly to themselves when they hear the rumors that say the Chancellors son is a descent of the Nox Fluerent’s.

Luna and Ravus are not pleased.

Neither is Gentiana.

…I’m henceforth dubbing these three as the Snark Family. Their snarky-ness and general mastery of Trolling alarms everyone. No one in Niflheim or Lucis has a chance against the combined Troll and Snark of the three of them.

That’s it though! Ace, tries to be supportive, tries to give Drautos a chance but-

He knows. He knows that Drautos is a traitor and that Drautos has the power to hurt Nyx and it makes something ugly rise up in him. When Drautos himself comes to Ace’s bar Ace smiles and plays nice but has to stop himself from straight out stabbing Drautos.

When Drautos does reveal himself as Glauca, Ace takes great joy in helping Nyx beat the shit outta him

I didn’t have plans for Cor/Nyx/Ardyn but like. Now all I’m seeing is the two of them (Cor and Ardyn) bonding in the middle of a spar and Nyx realizes what’s happening and just goes:

does the existence of redwall abbey imply that there is a mouse pope? more at 11

i want to address the point that the redwall creatures seemed like protestants with the fact that this further implies a Mouse Reformation, featuring a mouse dissident and indeed.. a mouse pope

While it is indeed possible that the theology of Redwall had deviated from the dicta of the Mouse Pope (Pope Mus IV), Protestants don’t, as far as I or the internet knows, have much of a monastic tradition, thus proving that they are Catholic and fall under the jurisdiction of the Holy (Mouse) See. In this essay, I will show that Martin the Warrior should have been excommunicated for his heresies

flagrantly disregarding the possibility that the Redwall animals could be Orthodox

Guys they are Anglican, this means not only is there a mouse pope there was a mouse king who really wanted a divorce

At mouse scale, that would be Henry the 1/8th.

this is the only valid speculation thread my post has created

but why did that mouse king not dissolve the monasteries in order to expropriate land for the crown?

No, you know what, let’s get into this, LET’S FUCKING GO *rolls up sleeves* BUCKLE UP I’M INFODUMPING 

Okay, I’ve slept since I’ve read these books, but you get Abbots and Abbesses, right? And I think I remember Brother such-and-such, and Sister such-and-such, and these animals were invariably unmarried. As opposed to the official Abbey Warrior, who COULD be married if they wanted to. 

There were definitely official roles within the abbey that let you marry and have children, like cellar master, cook, maybe gate-keeper? (Librarians don’t seem to have kids but I’ve never met a Redwall librarian who wasn’t really gay so jot that down). 

Redwall Abbey seems to derive its monastic tradition from the abbey of Loamhedge, which suffered heavy losses during a great plague; the survivors moved into Mossflower Forest and became involved in the historic rebellion surrounding Martin the Warrior. 

(There’s also a derelict church in the woods, called ‘Saint Ninian’s’, but this is revealed to be a misunderstanding involving a sign that originally said “This Ain’t Ninian’s.”) 

Redwall Abbey functions as a cultural center for Mossflower, providing shelter, education, and historical documentation via their scribes and library. Interestingly, the abbots, abbesses, brothers, and sisters all seem to keep to a code of non-violence, with very few exceptions. Redwall Abbey may defend itself against direct attacks, but the brunt of the actual fighting is left to lay-beasts (I can’t believe I just typed that with my real hands) and the abbey warrior. 

Politically and socially speaking, the abbey is a …. socialist commune? There’s food and drink and medical care for everyone, as long as you’re willing to pitch in. Children are raised communally. 

There must be SOME concept of saints, because of the whole misunderstanding surrounding St. Ninian’s. Notable abbots and abbesses may be given the saint treatment, becoming revered and maybe getting their deeds put into a tapestry. We see this with abbey warriors all the time. 

Unfortunately, with the origins of Loamhedge obscured, it’s impossible to know where this whole monastic tradition comes from! We have no evidence of a wide-spread organized religion (I’m not counting the cults of enemy hordes, which are invariably one-offs). It could be that there once WERE more religious components to the way the abbey works, we get hints of them: the concept of the ‘Dark Forest’ where people go when they die, asking the spirit of Martin the Warrior for guidance, having celibate members of the monastery hierarchy, the devotion to non-violence … Did this originate in Loamhedge itself? Was there once a network of abbeys with a central authority? What I wouldn’t give to know. 

(As for the author’s inspiration, he’s definitely pulling from medieval European monasteries, particularly the more service-and-community-oriented orders). 

@contemplatingchicken @fozmeadows 

This…is a real book? About mice living a pseudo-medieval life? Seriously?

I know what this sounds like, but Redwall is not just a real book, but an ENTIRE children’s series, comprising twenty-two books. Its heyday, as far as I can work out, was largely among Bookish Children of the 1990s.
