I had to turn this off, but it's something that allows Windows and anyone using your device to generate text/images.

Wait, wat, hold on...Copia:

was unaware of his historically & religiously significant parentage

was raised by his aunt & uncle

The product of a loving but volatile relationship between an angry orphan who'd been wronged by many & the leader of a powerful organization

A fraternal twin who only met his sibling as an adult

MOTHERFUCKER-

it is crazy how people will be like well we just can never know why joan of arc crossdressed, we just can't be sure it wasn't entirely about protecting herself from rape or just the practical necessity of being at war. as if that is not an argument that was literally invented at her rehabilitation trial decades after her death to justify her sainthood. as if we don't have the original french minutes of her trial, where she was very active and aware in the note-taking and what was being written down and, when given opportunities to explain her crossdressing, never once mentioned sexual violence or practical concerns about wearing women's clothing while at war, and instead directly stated several times that she wore men's clothing because it was God's will and she would only stop if God commanded her to.

like actually i don't think its that big of mystery. there's mysterious elements, because we don't have all the details, but its not like we have no clue what she said on the subject.. i think it has just historically made a lot of cishet people extremely uncomfortable that jeanne la pucelle went to her death refusing to ever admit fault for saying God told her to wear men's clothing for the sake of being a virgin waging war in men's clothing. i think it historically made a lot of people uncomfortable that at her trial they told her "Deuteronomy says crossdressing is a sin" and jeanne's response was "I know what God told me and I do not believe I have done anything wrong." but that is a problem for people because you can't have her sainthood and her admirable (to a Catholic) devotion to God without her devotion to her genderqueerness in God's name.

jeanne la pucelle did not try to imitate other historical or mythological warrior-women or holy heterosexual virgins. she carved out an identity that was truly unique to her and deeply grounded in her Catholic faith. she looked the men who killed her in the eye and answered their questions and knew what she was doing. this was not a woman who seemed unsure of herself much at all. she said she'd die before she went against God's will and wore women's clothing, and then she did. i think we can all maybe show her the respect of acknowledging that she wore men's clothing because it was personally spiritually meaningful to her that she did, and not for the secretly entirely practical cisgender reasons people came up with later to make her story easier to swallow.

I'm sorry, people were saying WHAT about Jeanne??

When I see new people getting into Ghost, they always ask about the lore but babes, I'm going to have to tell you something. 5% of the lore you see is canon, 10% is shit Special/Tobias said in interviews - most likely without thinking and the other 85% is from the fandom - whether from fanfictions, theories, art etc. Ghost is basically a sandbox, we're just given very limited information and allowed to run wild with the characters so have fun with it and try not to worry about what is and isn't canon too much.

worst feeling on earth is when something connected to a character you're obsessed with is like. not good. your blorbo's favorite band is actually a little ass. their favorite soda is dog shit. the movie that inspired the show that ruined your life is just kind of like... mediocre

[woah-its-mimi]

fat black cat that follows primo around. he insists it's not his cat, he doesn't keep pets, they get in the way, they're demanding. still gave it a name, still purchases fancy cat food, still doesn't allow the average person to pet it (which is fine bc it's rather content with just walking between his legs and staying near him only). primo constantly curses at it, tons of empty threats. don't you dare ever mention how he can be found sleeping with the cat in his chest like a weighted heated blanket

i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:

"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.

an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.

You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.

If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.

Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.
