“ It felt a lot like Rashmi was putting on a show, like she was doing this huge gesture to show off, to stake her claim on Kathy like she’s just a piece of meat for her to chew up. I’m starting to think she was trying to fuck with me personally.”

The beautiful thing about all of this is that Rashmi and Kathy are attempting to fuck with Nichole personally but also Nichole doesn’t Know this, she thinks they’re genuinely dating and she also feels like Kathy is her, like, possession. It’s like watching someone do exactly the right math to get the correct answer.

Also I think Rashmi and Kathy are just down bad for each other slash gen in a way far beyond power play. Or rather the power play is also erotic because of the attraction bleeding into the other frustrated feelings.

#out of the kayfabe of the liveblog i did read a handful of paragraphs at dinner so this is uh #a slightly microwaved blog #like the first few hundred words #that said i need to tag #orphan heir #again. for this analysis #julesius #when you have a terrible woman clocking what is going on but also she is so deeply unhinged #so it’s like. why are you right. you’re wrong but you’re right #helsinore.txt #rcbg posting

Imagine if there was someone who was very clearly doing things that you thought were screwing over your family / your peers / your community (nation) and he kept doing it over and over and every time you tried to give him consequences to get him to cut that shit out he just got WORSE. You're over here trying to make sure the economy doesn't collapse and your cousin meanwhile is pissing himself about how he needs everyone to respect him. You report his own lackey's bullshit on him and the first thing he does is make a joke about how upset you look in front of the entire formal court including your dad ("how high a pitch his resolution soars") and you just have to take it. Constantly. Until he makes you lose out on your last moments with your dad. And not only that, he's gonna make you're penniless when you return because he's decided your inheritance is his shiny new spending money, and so if you play 100% by the rules you know he'll just ruin you forever and ruin england and--

And everyone is siding with you!! Sure, your uncle is "neuter" but he's letting you stay at the castle and even he admits this has gone too far. Even mr 'never want to rock the boat too hard' is agreeing! And everyone is egging you on because you have a just cause, and you're trying to do things by the book, it's not like you're allowed a lawyer because look how court went for you--

And they're all hyping you up. It's a mess but you can handle it. They're sitting you down on the throne. They're setting you up to fail. Your cousin digs his claws into your chest and whispers to you to behold how he carries out the final stretch of his downfall, and it's -- well, he always did throw such fits, didn't he, and --

And why is your other cousin -- why is your uncle --

And you know you want to be just, you do, all you ever did is try to uphold the values of your community, ruler and tyrant are /different/, you swear, you just wanted to make your father proud, you just wanted to make this place a place he would've called worthy again, you didn't mean for this to spiral out of control why can't anyone remember how bad things were when the other guy was in charge this campaign was righteous this crusade was just you cared, did you care too much--

Did you really say he should be dead?

Dead, maybe, but no, not killed hate the murderer love him murder'd no no no why we were all in this together you told me you agreed with me you said i was right you pushed me towards this in twelve all but one but in twelve thousand none--

And they all blame you.

Your name is Henry IV

Your name is King

You frequently tag my plaudius posting with a certain 'renan' and a certain 'cyrus'...I am interested in hearing more about these, er, horrible people? heh

hello polonius mod. welcome to my inner sanctum of old man yaoi. king cyrus solaris and his most trusted advisor lord renan mercurialis are the creations of @suits-of-woe who wrote a sort of Shakespeare's histories plays mashup (it's called next day after dawn. ndad for short.), where cyrus (whose son and grandson are also named cyrus. but sometimes i tag things "cy" to keep it clear i mean the Old Man) is hal/henry v, and renan is ned poins, or, well, a ned poins who doesn't evaporate during the events of henry iv part 2. cyrus and renan or cyrenan if you will met as teenagers who were mutually crashing out together alcoholic style and ended up deeply in love. when cyrus' dad died when he was 17 he was like "fuck it i gotta be so hetero now as the king" so he banished all his friends except for renan, who was technically a lord (with a different title back then) and whom cyrus made his spy (because renan was already hella good at pickpocketing and lockpicking so. perfect excuse for keeping renan close). so renan does espionage for his liege lord who is also his super secret boyfriend. they have been in the most toxic old man not-marriage for the past fifty years. cyrus gave him the domain of mercurialis which is the biggest in all the kingdom. they're both straight married (cyrus is bi, renan is gay btw) again because no homosexuality allowed in engl*nd. renan will do literally anything for cyrus. cyrus is terrible for renan but genuinely, sincerely loves him. they are absolutely fucking ridiculous. tldr king x advisor/spy toxic old man yaoi. they are indeed terrible terrible people but the love is 100% real. play our last summer by abba. you can also ask them questions at @renanmercurialisofficial and @partygilf here on tumblr.

#i know you hc polonius and claudius as having more of a queerplatonic thing iirc?#but so many of your posts just make me go oh. This Is Literally Just Like.#anyways omg hi i love polonius blog it made me cackle the moment i saw it #game changer of a blog #helsinore.txt #asks #cyrenan #cyrus solaris #cy solaris #renan mercurialis #ndad #julesius

the Black & White Thinkerrrr wishes that one could worldbuild an ontologically good culture where everyone is so nice and nothing problematic ever happens but that’s just not how any culture works (even if we strive towards like. trying to fix the messes we exist in) so unless you want to build Nice Utopia Where Nothing Bad Ever Happens explicitly and this is your setting for some reason*, you need to worldbuild in, like, flaws within the system of your fictional fantasy culture. and by flaws I mean systemic biases and complex value systems that can be exploited by the ill intentioned (or the good intentioned who still end up going to super hell) and reckon with the fact that your characters of this culture will not always make the most optimal decisions ever + your characters will disagree with each other and have varied opinions on their own fictional culture’s values.

*i don’t trust unironic “This Is My 100% Perfect Good Utopia” posting because I feel like it’s a gateway into “…so this is why they have to fix those Bad And Evil Cultures Who Have Flaws :)” y’know what I’m saying.

Maybe they did screw bolingbroke over. Yes I know he did all that but like. Everyone else lowkey hyped him up. Did he even want to be king or was this just the foregone conclusion?
