amarguerite:

Oh my God I’m not sure of the accuracy of this scale but I made one anyways.

1: Jane Austen. Theoretically Romantic, mostly a clever satirist more interested in the novel as the perfect vehicle for social commentary than in poetry for capturing emotion. Very little chance of swooning and/or dramatic death. A very safe spot on the Romanticism scale.

2: Dorothy Wordsworth: Actually a Romantic, though not excessively so! Enjoy your long walks in the country. Keep those diaries. Your brother can mine them for publishable material until people consider them finally worthy of academic interest a century or two later.

3: Wordsworth. May result in later becoming annoyingly conservative but mostly harmless. Go ahead and wander lonely as a cloud. Gaze upon that ruined abbey.

4: Charlotte Turner Smith. Recover that English sonnet and transform it into a medium that mostly expresses sorrow! Help establish Gothic conventions! Have what Wordsworth called a true feeling for rural England! Die in penury and be forgotten by the middle of the nineteenth century.!

5: Blake. ?? Who even knows man. Talk to angels. Create your own goddamn religion. Confuse all of your contemporaries.

6: Mary Shelly. Go ahead and run off with that unhappily married poet who took you on dates at your mother’s grave, but this may result in carrying your husband’s calcified heart around in a fragment of his last manuscript the rest of your life. But also, arguably inventing sci-fi as a genre… so that’s some consolation.

7: John Keats: listen to that nightingale but be forewarned: you will die of TB in Rome and everyone will mock you for dying of bad criticism instead of, you know, infectious disease.

8: Coleridge. May result in never finishing a poem and a severe opium addiction.

9: Percy Shelly. May result in being expelled from Oxford and in premonitions of your own death by drowning.

10: Full Byron. Never go full Byron.

+1000: Oscar Wilde. Please consider your life decisions before you go Wilde.

TUMBLR JUST KILLED LINKS

Yes, you read it right.

As of today, November 17, 2018, any post with links, any links, even to other tumblr posts, just don’t show up anymore in tumblr’s search engine.

I just found out about it, after I posted a fic with a link to my masterlist and it got little to no notes (it shuldn’t). I was right - the moment I deleted the links, my post magically appeared in the search again. Wow.

Please spread the word to warn the others.

This affects artists who want to cross promote their work, writers who want to link to previous chapters or to a masterlist, and editors who want to link to their YouTube channels, among just a few. This new policy will kill content creators’ ability to spread their work, and for what? A poor attempt to use the algorithm to crack down on porn bots and scammers? Sad.

In the meantime, here’s what I suggest: post your work with no added links, and tell people to check the notes for your masterlist, story navigation, links to ko-fi, patreon, and other social media sites. Make sure you have all those things ready, then paste it into a reblog and have people access them that way. It’s stupid, but it’s a work around we’ll have to use until tumblr gets their act together.

Reblogging again because I need advice on creating masterpost links.

Oh, lovely. I put inks in my posts all the time, to link back to my sources and references.

Wonderful.

With tumblr making it harder for people selling their goods (art, pins, merch, whatever) it’s SO IMPORTANT now that if you see someone on your dash that you want to help, or that needs help, that you now reblog the post while it’s on your dash. With that artist no longer visible in tags they have to rely purely on the people who follow them to spread the word. It’s more important than ever to reblog an artist’s work.

I was wondering why the new chapter of something I posted last night got way less notes than usual. I thought it was just because I posted late. What the flying frack tumblr.

My Service Dog got attacked. (Lend a hand?)

This is Gia. She is the sweetest, most loving service dog. She was basically retired, but still does her job occasionally. She got mauled by another dog about a week ago, and the image on the right is her now. 
For More Images/Proof: Go Here *GRAPHIC*

Now, I’m not asking for anyone to cover her vet fees, or to help us put the other dog down. What we REALLY need, is some Pajamas for Gia. I have created a wishlist of Jammies for her. Now, you’re probably asking why she needs Jammies. She is a double coated dog, a chow chow. Without her coat, she can’t keep herself warm or regulate her temperature. And we live in Ohio, where it gets very cold. Our power has already gone out once this winter, Gia won’t be okay if she gets too cold. She can’t go outside, she can’t sleep, she can’t heal. These pajamas also help to keep the bandage on her neck stable, and keeps her from rubbing it off. She is bleeding, oozing over herself constantly, so we need a lot of pajamas to keep rotating them. They won’t just get used once, they’ll be used all winter and through the spring even! Until she is healed, they will be used and very appreciated. 

If you can’t help us by buying her some pajamas, can you please reblog this? 
We got hit with $3000 of vet bills that we do not have the money for. And she is due for another surgery to remove the rest of the dead skin next week. 

Here are My Commissions if you can’t buy her one, but want to help!
And Here is My Ko-Fi If you’d rather that. 

And HERE IS HER WISHLIST. 

Thank you SO much for sharing and helping out!  ❤ ❤

Please don’t let this post die down! Someone was SO wonderful and already bought her a sweater so she can go outside when it snows. If that person wants to message me, I’ll send them pictures of her in it (if they want!) !!!

Please keep sharing ♡ Gia really needs clothes so she doesn’t get cold. Her face is swelling and she is going to the vet on Monday to get it checked out.

Ardyn promptly falls in love with Styx’s theses/essays as well. Ravus is horrified to learn that both he and the Chancellor have this in common, and even more disgusted to learn that he LIKES having spirited discussions with them with said man. 

Ardyn does love them and Ravus is completely horrified because this is Ardyn but he also loves the spirited debates that they have every time a new paper is published.

He hates himself for it because this is Niflheim’s Chancellor but the man is really good at picking apart all of the arguments and theorising and it really is nice to talk to someone about it all instead of his sister just rolling her eyes at him

(It is also surprisingly easy to forget who Ardyn is when Ravus sees the man surrounded by papers with his sleeves rolled up and his eyes flashing in the middle of a debate. Ardyn looks almost human and it’s more surprising than it really should be)

Oooh, does Styx ever do an essay analyzing the figure of the ‘Accursed’? What does Ardyn think of it? 

Styx is Galahdian, of course, she writes a paper on the Accursed and it is scathing in its opinions on the culture surrounding him and the Prophecy.

She probably starts with the definition of Accursed and the fact that, based on the language used, it likely meant ‘one under a curse’ rather than ‘someone we feel great anger towards’ and wow, doesn’t that just change the whole meaning of that shitfest of a prophecy.

The academic paper ends up being several dozen pages long because Styx keeps on pulling from the original sources, setting her own arguments and then castigating scholars and linguists from over the centuries for choosing the easiest interpretation over the more correct one.

Basically, the whole thing completely disregards the prophecy and posits that the so-called Accursed was likely just a man labouring under a curse - one that, purely based on the power required, likely would have been cast by the gods - outside of his control who has then been turned into the cult villain of a prophecy.

There are also a lot of unkind references to both Bahamut and Somnus, though Styx never actually outright states what all Galahdian’s know.

It ends up banned practically across all of Eos with weeks.

Ardyn loves it.

/snicker/ imagine REACTIONS to some of Styx’s annotated references consisting of direct interviews with Ramuh… 

Oh, I pity the academic that tries to tell her that she can’t use those references because they can’t actually back them up.

Styx would just stare at them and go “I did not go to the effort of actually interviewing him for hours on end just so you can throw it all out” and then she just stares them the fuck down until they accept it

Lightning flashes in the background

#ravus is a giant nerd#and so is ardyn#they did not know this about each other before now#styx has died and come back to life - academics don’t scare her#also she’s in academia for the lols so fuck everyone else

@charlottedabookworm

Ardyn might just be inspired to start writing his own papers in response, or even writing to Styx directly, offering his praises, his commentary, and access to various documentations/records which further substantiate/disprove her arguments. (Styx is. Appreciative of the resources, even if she raises her eyebrows when she notices the sender - all of *Galahd* knows the Accursed’s story, and Styx *does* know his identity due to past-life shennanighans.)

Ardyn is really, really loving this. The defamation of the gods! The well-written arguments lambasting Somnus and organized religion in general! The - well, Styx is not exactly *defending* the Accursed, but she’s not condemning him as is; she’s laying out various cognizant arguments concerning his status, and she is *not* making any judgments. That’s - refreshing.

Ardyn is positively *gleeful*. And, of course, since it was banned, positively *everyone*’s read it. Or has to read it. Or has been meaning to read it. It’s the quickest way possible to get *everyone* to read said work. (Ardyn probably asks Styx to autograph his copy).

*LOL* 

Except NOW I have the mental image of Styx trying to arrange said therapy. 

CAN YOU IMAGINE RAMUH ET AL LYING BACK ON A THERAPIST’S COUCH 

And discussing their issues? 

Poor, poor therapist. 

Oh wow, that poor therapist - they’d probably need their own therapist by the end of the first session. Styx walks in at the end of the first hour and the therapist just breaks down into grateful tears, leading her to awkwardly comfort them while she glares at Ramah et al because really.

She doubles the poor therapists pay and then promptly finds a new one because that one obviously isn’t going to work out.

Ifrit: Not to be debated because of mental incompetence 

And yeah, basically. 

Styx doesn’t want to work through his actions because she is fairly certain that he wasn’t in his right mind at the time

@charlottedabookworm

The answer, of course, is that one of the galahdians is gonna have to train as a therapist/psychiatrist. They’re the only ones *entirely unimpressed* enough by the Astrals to do so.

Styx: *Not it!*

hamelin-born replied to your post “So my brain just dumped the thought of Thalassa and Regis having a kid…”

Ramuh just. Rolls his eyes. Of /course/ this would happen to his Sea-Sister. (He also shows up in human guise and. All but moves into Insomnia for most of said pregnancy)                  

@hamelin-born

Look, after all the “congrats, you’re an uncle” speeches he’s gotten over the years, Ramuh is a bit desensitized to the whole thing.

So when Thalassa opens with that very line again, Ramuh just. Hums absently and asks when he gets to meet her new sprog.

“In nine months,” Thalassa answers.

Ramuh blinks. “Excuse me?”

“Ah, well, we’re kind of guessing – this has never happened before, but we figure we should just go off of what we know,” she rambles.

Ramuh stares at her so hard. So hard.

Thalassa shrugs sheepishly. “I’m pregnant. Surprise?”

#ramuh: how do you always get into these situations?#thalassa: you say that like i ask for these things to happen#also ramuh showing up at the citadel: i live here now#regis: *squints*…did the fulgurian just move in?#thalassa: apparently he’s decided that with titan otherwise occupied he needs to keep a closer eye on me#(i am now thinking of thalassa going to the disc and presenting her baby to titan lion king style#thalassa: look what i made!)#meanwhile all the galahdian glaives in the background: …baby astral???…BABY ASTRAL!!!#the next nine months in the citadel are very interesting

@angelrider13 @phoenixwithahoardoflibraries

All the Galahdian glaives are just. Staring. With their jaws dropped. Because the Mother is the *Mother*, of *course* she is, but they never thought - this is - this is *completely outside of their experience*. (There’s also a lot of admiring glances thrown in Regis’ direction - holy *bleep*, this man *impregnated an Astral*. WTF. *WTF*?!)

The glaives are also - well. They’ve always been curiously relaxed regarding the security of the Second Queen, but now, galahdian!glaive policy re: how to protect Queen Thalassa seems to be. Well. More along the lines of ‘*get out of her way* rather then ‘defend the Crown’. Because - *look*, mothers are *already* stereotyped as being ferociously protective of their children, born and unborn. And this? This is *The Mother*. This is Thalassa, this is *Leviathan*, queen of the salt-strewn depths, and anything that comes for her or her babies is. It’s not going to end well - for *them*.

Honestly, before I read that line about how Thalassa would probably want to name any child of hers after her mortal brother, I thought - well. I rather thought she’d name a daughter Tethys, or Amphitrite - who were themselves primal greek goddesses of the sea. (They’ve mainly been overlooked in favor of their masculine counterparts/husbands.)

…and yes, Amphritrite came to mind because of this filk by Seanan McGuire. (I own the CD.)

And *no one* knows what this kid is going to be like. If they’re going to be more human or astral, or more astral then human, or some strange hybrid mix thereof - *this has never happened before. NEVER.*
