Constantly Wondering, “Am I Doing This Right?”

I am a fully fledged adult who shares an inordinate amount of TSC- and AFTG-related posts with other random things thrown in here and there, and I have no shame. I should probably have "Lex malla, lex nulla" tattooed on my forehead. she/they

I love a good knight face reveal (or in this case lack there of) XD

people who don't use or spend time on tumblr don't really understand how solid this place is for creatives and how we could be living in artist utopia if they fully undid the nsfw ban. the tag system? the dashboard? the silly anons who will send you the most insane sentences known to mankind? having your very old, shitty art make the rounds again because somebody finds value from it and wants to show their friends? no other place even comes close

rereading In Other Lands is an extremely rewarding experience because it's absolutely hilarious. with the benefit of context elliot age fifteen goes like this:

elliot's POV: i'm dating the girl i've been in love with for years and i'm freaking out about it because i'm scared i'll fuck it up and drive away my only friend. also i'm trying to set luke up with dale wavechaser even though i hate dale because luke's been in a bad mood lately and i want him to be happy despite believing wholeheartedly that he isn't my friend

luke's POV: serene (my best friend) and elliot (infuriating person i've had a crush on for ages and who appears to hate me) are dating and i'm miserable about it. also i came out as gay and elliot immediately pestered me until i told him i had a crush on dale just to shut him up, and now he keeps telling me to ask dale out

serene's POV: i'm casually dating my friend elliot :) i've been hanging out with my best friend luke :) they are both friends with each other and everything is lovely :)

dale wavechaser's POV: i think elliot has been trying to flirt with me???

Reading Hamlet is an exercise in learning that most idioms in the English language were either recorded or made here:

"Be true to yourself"

POLONIUS: This above all: to thine own self be true

............

"Do you catch my drift?"

POLONIUS: Marry, sir, here’s my drift, And I believe it is a fetch of wit.

........

"There's a method to his madness"

POLONIUS, (aside):  Though this be madness, yet there is method in ’t.

.........

"Hoisted on his own petard"

HAMLET: Let it work, For ’tis the sport to have the enginer Hoist with his own petard

...........

"You have broken my heart in two"

QUEEN: O Hamlet, thou hast cleft my heart in twain!

............

"Every dog has its day"

HAMLET: The cat will mew, and dog will have his day.

What happens/what does Monty see/ how quickly does Monty begin to ship foolknight?

It happens the moment Monty gets the first hint that Augustine is beginning to develop a crush on the court jester. Prior to this August has never expressed any interest in anyone before so the shift was noticeable to him after being friends with him for a decade and never seeing him act like this. When they first met Augustine clearly did not like Jester. He found him an annoying pest who he tried to ignore. But then Monty began to observe how at the sound of bells Augustine began looking for him even before he appeared- its subtle- just the tilt of his helmet but Monty knows the movements of his knight well. So he begins to suspect. And then there are much clearer signs like when Augustine begins to jump to Jester's defense and he knows for sure now. For a bit the next question becomes whether Jester shares his affection. The fool is an unapologetic flirt so it's harder to tell. Monty begins his own mission of figuring it out without being too obvious about it because he really hopes his dear knight will not have his heart broken. As he becomes more sure of Jester's shared affections there is suddenly nothing he wants more than the two of them to be together and happy but it seems they are utterly blind to what is so obvious to him.

Feeling a bit down, was wondering if there's anything going on with Skye and Tiernan 🥺 (no pressure, anything to do with them just always brings a smile to my face)

Awww I hope you feel better!

A scene I was thinking about was Skye taking Tiernan to town to meet her mother and so he can also see the tiny coastal town she’s from. The people there have legends of selkie’s and such and people tend to be superstitious (especially the older generation). When she shows up with him and explains that he just has a rare skin condition people pretend they believe her but they’re also side eyeing the seal skin coat she’s wearing. Otherwise Tiernan is utterly delighted by the town

I also just really like the idea of Tiernan often giving his coat to Skye when he’s not wearing it. He knows it’s safe with her and he also likes the way she looks in it. Plus everyone will have to know she’s already taken and not get any ideas about trying to steal his wife

We 👏 want 👏 Foolknight 👏 fluff 👏

Don't we all?

But how about- it's one of Monty's many parties. It has gone late into the night and Jester has slipped out onto the balcony for fresh air but finds a familiar armored figure had already beat him out there. Music filters out from the ballroom and Jester can't help but resist teasing August. Somehow dancing comes up and he points out that he has never even seen the knight dance before "I'm not even convinced you know how-"

When Augustine reaches for the jester he tells himself it's just to shut him up for once. But he's grabbing his hand and tugging him close and there is a satisfaction in seeing the fool wide eyed. Because Augustine can dance. And he is surprisingly nimble on his feet despite the heavy armor. But it's also more than that. It's the sudden closeness and it's got them both a little breathless as they follow the rhythm of the muffled music. Even with layers of metal and fabric between them- even their hands separated by gauntlets and gloves- it feels almost obscenely intimate. When the music ends they linger too close for a few moments too long and Jester, blushing beneath his make up, can only come up with a half hearted tease, "Try that on a Lady and you could sweep her right off her feet."

hello again :3

I have a question

if foolknight gets married, who proposes, what kinda ceremony do they have, details, reactions , etc :3 ehehehhehehehe

also does Monty ever get the aro dream of a platonic soulmate

Helloooo! I have an answer

I def imagine it being Augustine who proposes. He tries to do it all right with a romantic outing and flowers, but also he had never been more nervous in his LIFE. He's so nervous he thinks he might get sick and would prefer facing an entire battlefield of enemies. Jester definitely makes a few jokes that do not help (especially when he kneels down) but for once he is able to render the fool speechless when Jester realizes what he's doing. Somehow he manages to give his speech and propose without stuttering over it (he can thank the fact that he practiced it previously with Monty). And the moment Jester says yes it becomes one of the best nights of August's life.

The wedding is obviously a beautiful grand affair because there is no way that Monty would allow it be anything less. It is not as big as the king would have wanted because neither Augustine or Jester wanted a huge affair with strangers they didn't know there but it is lovely outdoor wedding in the royal gardens with Monty officiating (he's the king and can do whatever he wants). The other knights are in attendance as is Felix (August's squire). For once Jester and Augustine are dressed in something other than their motley and armor though Jester's outfit is still trimmed with bells and Augustine wears his sword at his waist. They are both a little speechless when they see one another and August smiles like he never has before. Monty cries a little at the end. Very joyful, very happy.

Ngl, in my mind Monty is lowkey in a queer platonic relationship with them. Like the three are far too involved with each other. It's never called as such but the three continue to orbit each other, Monty will still absolutely come to climb in the bed with them and have sleepovers when he has nightmares and the three of them basically end up raising Monty's daughter together 🤷‍♀️

Do you have any advice for someone else who is in the very beginning stages of the "life is a precious gift rapidly escaping me, I have to change to become someone better and be happy before I've wasted all of it" transition? I'm tired of losing so much life and joy to grief and trauma and I also want to start creating and seeing and enjoying as much as I can for my tiny time as a carbon based lifeform but it's overwhelming to say the least

Actively seek out things that inspire wonder

Look for the good parts. There are good parts. There are interesting parts. There will always be good and interesting parts.

Treat yourself kindly. This one is difficult.

Do things out of ridiculous whimsy.

Practice cog itive behavioural exercises to self-examine and address beliefs and behaviors that are causing suffering.

Don't argue when people compliment you.

Don't rush yourself, and don't assume it'll be like this forever when you have a backslide. These things happen. Over time, they happen less.

Be honest with the people you love and trust.

Tell people how much they mean to you and what you like about them.

Help others and find satisfaction in being the stranger that did something good

Consider speaking to a medical professional, my antidepressants and anti-anxiety medical took some time to figure out but life is WAY better.

Have a silly little craft or hobby.

Let yourself be bored sometimes. Stand outside in the rain and let yourself get wet. Go on a walk. Put your phone in a different room and wander off. Meet up with a friend and go on a long walk together to nowhere in particular

Start doing things because you want to and it feels good, not just because you think it's something you should say yes to.

Say yes to things.

Take a random day of the week and go into a store or a business you've never been in before.

Compliment strangers when something about them is striking.

Read books and watch movies that make you feel the exact right amount of ecstatic and embarrassed, and make all the silly noises about it.

Collect scraps of fabric and little trinkets and all the little textures and colours you love and stash them in a shoebox or something like a tiny dragon's hoard.

Start a collection of something small and inexpensive. Like corks.

Make food with ingredients you've never used before

Make long lists of all your favorite things- flowers, bugs, songs, foods, places

Start a trash-book to fill with scraps of neat wrappers and bits of paper and colored fabric from old ruined clothes

Imagine yourself as a alien from a dead and barren world who has just arrived on this planet for the very first time and imagine how excited you would be by every little thing

Cannot recommend enough that you befriend a creature
