ive seen some people mentioning that the witches bringing medical supplies to help at the river isn't consistent with how it's forbidden for witches to learn about medicine (especially during Silver Eve when the Knights Moralis threaten Tetia over wanting to help out with first-aid)
i don't really think it's accidentally contradictory tho? in an emergency situation, i feel like Qifrey (known rule breaker) and Olruggio (known Qifrey enabler) wouldn't care about that rule for such simple first-aid like helping wrap bandages
i feel like it's kinda like how most people will drive over the speed limit a bit, but when there's a cop around everyone slows down lmaoo. plus it would be a bit ridiculous if witches weren't allowed to have any sort of simple first aid knowledge or keep something like a first-aid kit on hand just in case (especially in an isolated atelier)
WAIT, idea time, what if everyone did th heare put cake challenge, that would be extremely funny
The Arcana HCs: The "Hear Me Out" Cake
~ inspired by you, anon friend, and written for @vesuviaweekly's prompt "spilling tea". Hope you enjoy the messy crackfic friend! ~
Julian
Puts you on the cake with 0 shame, promptly gets sprayed in the face by Portia because "that's not a 'hear me out' answer"
Did bring a stick with Asra's face on it. Ditched it on second thought before putting it on the cake
Did bring sticks with Muriel, Nadia, and Lucio on them and place them on the cake. Muriel refused to sit next to him afterwards. The whole group stared at him in disbelief when he revealed Lucio's face. Nadia said she was better than a "hear me out"
Julian's last faces were Nazali and Barth. It was increasingly clear by the end that he didn't fully understand the concept of a "hear me out" cake and that he had just gone with all the people he knew and found somewhat attractive
Asra
Half of the items they place on the cake aren't images, they're items representing concepts/beings with no faces
Most notable was a small slip with the words "The Patriarchy" on it. When pressed for an explanation, he explains that he "always has time to f*** the patriarchy." Portia is impressed
Others include all kinds of political and social norms they just wanted an excuse to make sassy, cutting remarks about
The other half of his items are intelligent beings whose existence were either rumored or up to debate entirely
This includes merpeople, goblins, dragons, spirits, and of course, several patrons including The Magician themself. You don't know how they feel about that one but Asra claims to have told them
Nadia
Doesn't have a lot of "hear me out"s to contribute, mainly because she got into her own head about listing anybody she might have a power dynamic over as the Countess
Does list Selasi and refuses to elaborate, regardless of how many comments everyone has to make on that one
Also not totally sure how the concept of a "hear me out" cake works, so most of her items aren't people - they're situations
Specifically intimate situations
Cue everyone in the room turning more and more red as she graphically describes every creative scene she could think of
Lucio's jaw drops further the longer she speaks and complains at one point about not getting any of this when they were married
Muriel
Didn't have any "hear me out"s so he brought a list of "I will not hear this out"s instead
It starts with obvious categories, at first - animals, anything or anyone unable to fully consent, family members -
And then continues with oddly specific descriptions clearly aimed at all the other people in the room. Exes, age gaps, reckless marriages to leave family/gain more power, transactional situationships to enable concerning behavior, saying "I love you" on the first date, saying "oopsie" instead of "I'm sorry" ...
His final item is a quickly-done (read: stick figure) doodle of himself with a big red X over it, which he makes on the fly after seeing his own face added to the cake
Portia
The whole thing was her idea and she is way too excited/invested in seeing what everybody brings
Has equipped herself with a little spray bottle that she uses on anybody whose answers are not satisfactory to her
Talks up her own items only for most of them to be fictional characters that nobody else in the group has heard of. Cue frantic lore dumping as she explains 1) why this character is usually considered a bad choice and 2) why she'd do them anyways
Is the person who made and brought the cake and gets particular (with Julian specifically) about adding items without ruining it
Adds Valerius, acts surprised when Lucio mentions sleeping with him, and uses it as an opening to interrogate him for juicy details
Lucio
Proudly adds all his exes to the cake and then all of the members of your group. Promptly gets into a loud back-and-forth with Portia while Nadia looks disapproving and Asra looks disgusted. Julian is too surprised to comment. Muriel begins work on his final item
Continues to add controversial figures to the cake, including all of the courtiers, the Devil, and his rendition of the slimy worm horrors known to lurk around Vlastomil's estate
Clearly enjoys every shocked/outraged/concerned reaction way more than he should because he's getting so much attention
Does go out of his way at the end of the gathering to clearly established that the vast majority of his items were jokes
Asks to cut the cake afterwards so he can secure a huge piece
Everyone who has 1m+ followers has a team behind the accounts. Even a 50k followers needs 1 social media manager, and 1 content creator.
That's not always true. I know several content creators with over 100k followers and they run their own account. Most people with that many however, do not check/answer dms. And while it is true that most celebrities have account managers, Henry runs his own. Think about how much more stuff would have been seen on his IG if someone else was running it. He is in control of his own account.
No,
Henry controls what he should and shouldn't post on his Instagram account. However, Henry has a media team that manages his Instagram and already handles the posting. Therefore, it doesn't mean that Henry is on his Instagram 24/7. That's why he already has a media team that does this work. Also, Henry doesn't constantly check his Instagram because he's a very busy man with his work and doesn't have time for it. It's rare that he checks his Instagram. And for the last time, I'll say to everyone that it was NOT Henry Cavill himself who liked Natalie's story. It was a media agent who manages his Instagram who liked Natalie's story. Henry even argued with his agent about not doing it without his authorization because Henry no longer likes anything from Natalie and he doesn't support Natalie's lies and what she's doing.
And another thing, anyone smart enough would know very well that if it were the real Henry who had liked her stories, he would have sent her a message, and he didn't. So, use your brains to figure out that it wasn't Henry Cavill himself who liked Natalie's post.
