y’all ever doing okay and then you remember how griddlehark “grew up in each other’s pockets”. spent their entire childhoods messing with each other because they had no one else. their hatred so complete it was a form of love. btw. if you even care.

"I'm a boy" "I'm a girl"

Ok well I am Martin Blackwood, and I am not lonely anymore; I am not lonely anymore. I want to have friends; I – no, I have friends. I-I’m in love. I am in love, and I will not forget that; I will not forget. I am Martin Black–

[reigen-sweetly]

Dying over Jon waking up and realizing he’s in love with Martin and thinking he’d already missed his shot.

Realizing the entire time Martin adored him and thinking he was way too late. That Martin would never love or care for him again. That he’d never get Martin’s tea, or hear Martin laugh, or bicker and argue with him, that he’d never see Martin smile ever again.

Feeling crushed because he had someone who loved him unconditionally and thinking he’s never get that love back. Completely unaware that the last of Martin’s feelings to go were for Jon. That the final nail on the coffin of Martin’s fight against Peter was being completely sure Jon was dead.

“martin is -!”

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

[alagaisia]

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

[alagaisia]

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

[emi--rose]

Hell yeah moon holiday

[hello-delicious-tea]

[ariaste]

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

I ship CamPal just not in a staight way, fully convinced Camilla is asexual and Palamedes has kinks so far removed from what people even consider sex it is basically just a hobby.

Sometimes Camilla dresses in a non-sexualised nurse outfit and berates him for not taking care of himself while he fucking debates her about it but they consider that a thought exercise instead of a sex thing really, so it does not count. Your house can't catch you engaging in sexual relations with your cavalier if you just keep reenacting scenes from House MD and they fully exploit this little known loophole.

crazy how they call the sixth house "the emperors reason" when the main 2 sixth house individuals have never once shown making a reasonable decision. they are famously the most insane people ever. the emperors little irrational codependent freaks doesnt roll off the tongue so easy i guess.

i'm drinking this codependency juice like craaaaazy. i'm inserting it and injecting it into MY VEINS!!!!!

i'm so obsessed with Camilla's tendencies to self destruct and self sacrifice

she refused to let go of Palamedes's bones even after she got electrocuted for it. she was bleeding from every pore on her body but didn't tell him because then he would probably stop the soul merging experiments or ever consider transferring himself elsewhere because it hurt her. "you're killing each other" "it's our choice" *our* choice? or maybe you wanted to say *my* choice? nearly bled out to death but Palamedes needs to make a blood ward? "i can give you some more, there's a spoonful left somewhere in here". probably has some serious brain damage because of the experiments but her health is at the bottom of her priorities so she doesn't care. she's unable to take any compliments because she's merely doing what she should, right? god knows to what limits she pushed herself to become this competent and perfect at everything. and i bet she was totally willing to do the Avulsion Trial. the perfect tool, the perfect guard dog.

One of our sources about GreekMyth!Palamedes is Defense of Palamedes, by Gorgias. (Gorgias was a Sophist, and Plato hated his guts so much he wrote a dialogue about it.)

Most of the text is Palamedes defending his innocence after Odysseus framed him for treason. And an argument he makes repeatedly is that you can't know things from being told them. You can only know things you've perceived yourself with your own senses. This is partly because direct experience doesn't lie and people do.

I read that and then laughed when I remembered how Muir introduces us to LockedTomb!Palamedes: he's prodding directly at the physical world, then worrying aloud that he's being "systematically lied to on a molecular level."

I love this so much, and also it lends new, insane dimensions to The Unwanted Guest. "You can only know things you've perceived yourself with your own senses" is basically Ianthe's rebuttal when Pal first tries to debate her about the permeability of the soul. While Pal's point is that perception isn't serving Ianthe in this case as it might elsewhere because the timescale of the change in question is too crazy-big to comprehend in the time she's had so far:

And then, of course, his later point that her perception of what change might be happening is also skewed because the soul absorption process is messing with her ability to be objective:

I am not a Classics person but this is all making me want to try, dammit. And now the way I interpret Pal's character is shifting again...
