been playing this big walk game with some friends
the thing is when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from supernatural they usually mean "it was invented by the supernatural fandom in a fanfic". on the other hand, when people say a specific fanfic trope comes from star trek, they mean "it was the plot of at least one star trek episode"

Knight and a Second chance
long in-depth lore breakdown under cut
Now, bear in mind that I’m struggling to put into the words many of the concepts discussed here. So sorry in advance if some parts feel nonsensical...! And as a disclaimer: my knowledge is mainly acquired as an interest and hobby – it does not hold water as actual, completely accurate information of a historical period. It’s my interpretation, my fantasy of sorts. First things first, song inspiration: Vilma Jää – Manalan mailla (if you know Finnish and like to read these, you might see the connection lol) Kauno’s story in nutshell: Kauno is a nobleman knight, who suffered a mortal wound to his neck when he was pinned in combat and stabbed between his armour plates. By all logic he should’ve succumbed to such a wound, but he was rescued and nursed back to health. The nuns who took care of him did not have high hopes for the feverish nobleman to make it through, and yet eventually he woke up in perfect health and spirit. Kauno remembers little of the time from sickbed but has clear memory of vivid dreams of birds… Visually Kauno’s pose is heavy nod towards Botticelli’s painting ‘Birth of Venus’. I’ve always associated this piece with rebirth and beauty, both which are at the heart of Kauno’s character. His name quite literally means ‘beauty’ and rest we’ll get to…! So now, the most complex part is to acknowledge the co-existence of Christianity and folk religion in Finland during Middle ages. While it’s hard to point out how folk religion exactly died (I’m not read enough on the topic), there are still letters to be found from church officials pointing out that some of the folk religion or the traditions persisted even till late medieval period and to renaissance. This period of time where beliefs melded and changed is something I’m extremely interested to depict. Now, religion facts: There are quite a few nods towards Christianity here, the number seven motif with the birds, rebirth etc. However, the story revolves even further to folk religion’s concept of lintukoto (birds’ home). It was believed to be a physical place just outside the edge of the world, where birds went during winter. Everything was small in lintukoto to accommodate birds and sometimes souls could wander there. Notable is that lintukoto is _not_ heaven/afterlife in folk religion, but rather it seems one might get lost there by accident? Terns: I thought terns are great way of marrying both religious imageries together. They dive almost completely into the water and rise anew, signifying Kauno’s almost rebirth-like experience. There also rather many hymns describing angels and dead loved ones visiting earth as birds! And lastly, they are also bird that are more typically seen in southern Finland, as a reference towards lintukoto being to the south of the world’s edge. Armour: Yep, that’s Kauno himself! Kauno is showing his neck, which has only the scar left from the combat, but he’s also gripping at the sinking armour at the same spot.
Fun fact: Kauno is literally shorter and slimmer ('smaller') than my other knights as a nod to lintukoto! So, is he an angel, rebirthed man, or just very lucky guy? Who can say for sure, but all these motifs are part of him.

so wildly obnoxious when you agree with the starting point of someone's stance only for them to hard turn into things you DON'T agree with and now you have to defend the thing that was originally annoying you
"too many authors in the current market are focusing on selling 'spice' instead of telling interesting stories"
"oh yeah, i agree. i started reading one that i heard a lot about and it just wasn't-"
"and it's all of these women reading their fucking mommy porn out in public like FREAKS"
*through gritted teeth* "people should be allowed to read whatever they want, and actually these books should be left alone and you should shut up about it"

Loving Robby is like loving a sighted hare, Jack has learned. Skittish, nervy, prone to flee at the first hint of danger. Jack has built their entire relationship around that fact.
He never asked him out, the first time they kissed he just. Let it happen. Made it clear he was happy and then, later, subtly dropped into conversation that he wouldn’t be seeing anyone else and held his breath until Robby hummed an agreement.
When he wanted to live together Jack just quietly moved his things into Robby’s house piece by piece until Robby mumbled something about splitting bills and asked Jack how much his apartment sold for.
Marriage has been trickier. He’s taken off his old ring, that lives with his wife’s picture on the mantelpiece where Robby had set it up for him one day out of the blue. But how does one get married without ever…drawing attention to the other person. He’s been agonising over it for weeks.
He’s been agonising over it at the park this evening, he and Robby sharing a bench, shoulders pressing in the evening sun and bellies full of a nice dinner and ice cream. He’s agonising, right up until Robby’s knee hits the dirt in front of him.
His voice is a little hoarse, a little wobbly, when he tells Jack that he loves him, he wants to marry him and he hopes he says yes soon because he’s old and his knees hurt. He’s holding a ring, matte brushed gold and still catching the light.
Jack hauls him into a kiss while he’s still speaking, muttering his yes over and over. They’re both laughing and maybe crying a bit and there’s a very nice teenage girl who tells them that she got the whole thing on video, if they’d like it.
They’d like it.
So they’re engaged, because Robby asked. Robby even apologised, quietly in the dark, that Jack had done all the heavy lifting until now.
Jack isn’t sure this is the end of Robby’s tendency to run. He does think though, that maybe Robby won’t run from him.
europeans be like “omg north americans are so racist it’s horrible” and then elect fascists
I would like to emphasize that I agree with all of these tags by the way. My post wasn't aiming to pin all of Europe's grotesque racism on the new elections.
A few weeks ago I was at a board game night with some of my old classmates from various mainland European countries. They started talking about how horrible Trump's treatment of immigrants is and how they're so glad to be in Europe where nothing like that is happening right now. I asked them what they thought about the fact that their own governments were complicit in turning the Mediterranean into a mass grave of asylum seekers, and some of them legitimately didn't even know and were surprised to hear that their own governments had enacted policies that caused the deaths of thousands of asylum seekers.
Even here in Iceland, almost nobody has been talking about the fact that some of the far right populist parties have legitimately been talking about wanting to establish detainment camps to keep asylum seekers in.

This post is a few months old now, and the bit about Iceland is now outdated, because Alþingi (the Icelandic parliament) passed the bill approving the detention center for asylum seekers. It will be legal to handcuff and detain children there.
Never let anyone from Europe feed you the lie that racism and fascism are unique to North America in the 21st century.
This post made racists angry enough to harass me over it, which all that's going to do is make me bring this post back and reblog it more.
fellatio sounds like a supporting shakespeare character rather than oral sex on a penis to be honest
FELLATIO: Have you never taken within your mouth
The tender member of your lady love?
Then be assured its texture is unmatched
Now softened as it is by womanhood
KING: Thou dares impugn the honor of thy queen?!
Were we not so close I would have thy head!
FELLATIO: Tis futile. You may have my head but once,
While I have claimed your wife's a thousandfold
If you are white, you keep being white regardless of your gender. There is no debate to be had. Being trans doesn't magically make you antiracist, you need to put in the fucking work. If you aren't willing to, you're not a safe person to be around, stay away from my blog and my siblings of colour.
