Image description: It's a drawing of Mel Medarda from Arcane. She's drawn in her season 2 outfit. She's looking up with a determined expression while she holds her right hand in her lap. Runes and magic flow around her. End of description.

[kingjasnah]

i think we were joking about this a lot in the months after ROW came out but man it's gonna be so funny if navani doesn't even mention the whole raboniel thing in wind and truth. she is NOT looking inward

[kingjasnah]

renarin's "aunt navani likes when people are normal im worried about coming out to her" bro you don't even know about the insane torrid emotional affair she had with a 9 ft tall crab woman literally yesterday but i can't blame you bc she herself wiped it out of her mind immediately after she finished crying over raboniel's body

Nova AU: Reverend Daughter Gideon

[I had a thought that rather than doing canon Harrow's style of corpse puppeting, RD Gideon would get really into programming her constructs with complex instructions (like getting the skellys to dab every time Nova says the word "die"). Her mother's skeleton is her ongoing pet project and she teaches it to mimic affection.]

So a while back I won a cheap eBay auction listing for a collection of love letters from the first world war.

They arrived today, and…the listing was WAY more than I expected for the price I won it for. There’s over 100, and they’re not just from WWI, but from 1906 (earliest I’ve found so far) through to 1915.

Charlie writes to his girlfriend, Gertrude. This is the most beautiful, lovesick stuff I’ve ever read. He sends her so many letters, sometimes twice a day, and lots of poems. He seems to have been an artist, as he talks a lot about small exhibitions of his stuff, and included a flyer for one. He also talks about how her parents don’t approve of them and how he’s desperately awaiting the day they’ll be married.

I haven’t found the latest of the letters, but the fact it’s up until 1915 and then stops…doesn’t give me hope for a happy ending.

This man continuously refers to his precious beloved Gertie as his queen and goddess, and whilst most of it is sickly sweet, there’s some raunchy stuff too, with him talking about how he can’t wait until they have a little house together and can ‘please each other all day’…

There’s. So many.

I’m going to put them in order by date, read them through, and then maybe even transcribe them so we can find out a bit about Charlie and Gertie’s love story.

This man was absolutely lost in the sauce

[enjoloras-deactivated20220821]

Y'all he writes about sending her pressed poppies and postcards for her collection 😭😭😭

[enjoloras-deactivated20220821]

111 years after Charlie got his dick touched in 1910, I decided to tell you all about it. Sorry Charlie.

Kinda fucked up that you just stole somebody’s mail

[enjoloras-deactivated20220821]

Don’t know how to explain to you that acquiring, preserving, and transcribing historical ephemera that would have otherwise just been trashed from people who have been dead for over 50 years and don’t appear to have any living descendants isn’t the same as ‘stealing someone’s mail’ but Tumblr never ceases to amaze me with it’s cold takes.
