opinions about a nonexistent fandom
Hey, Sacred Texts fandom! Can y'all stop making Lai and Ipel cousins? Or worse, “adopted brothers”? It’s kind of obvious you’re just doing it so you can claim Laipel is “gross” and “incest” and then turn around and ship Lainen instead, which is…. so much worse.
And yes, I know they were described as cousins in Book of War, but the in-universe author of that one (I don’t remember his name lol) was from the Outer Mountains, and we know their culture is super heteronormative from Travels of Queen Akatoa. Of course he wasn’t gonna go and say “yes those two are in love.” It doesn’t even make sense for them to be cousins! Ipel is a prince! We know his whole family tree right up to Keyal the First, and Lai is NOT on it!
As for “adopted brothers”, Lai’s dad took Ipel in because he was still loyal to the king, and Ipel was in danger of being murdered! They clearly don’t think of each other as brothers! Yes, Apeye called him brother when she was looking for him among the gladiators, but 1) that was Apeye, not Lai, and 2) she needed to keep their cover story!
I know half the fun of Sacred Texts is piecing the world together from the unrelated books and arriving at different conclusions, but some conclusions are just… obviously wrong. (Like thinking there’s actual dragons in the Outer Mountains, when it was clearly just the Dherjan trying to scare their enemies.)
Edit: Anon reminded me that Lai and Ipel’s relationship has been compared to Temat and Tapat. You know, the canon lesbians? The two women who loved each other so much, their love literally moved mountains? That Temat and Tapat? Yeah.
Thing is, with a concept like ST a significant portion of the fandom is going to be comprised of people who are not familiar with the concept of an unreliable narrator, and they will take the way events, people etc. are described as objective truth. (Even though you could easily make an itemised list of every piece of inconsistent or straight up contradictory information between the books, most importantly Salin using the Rite of Anlur to stop the Unrepentant in BoVS, or deciding against using it at the last minute in LftC. I think these people would argue that it’s a plot hole, even though Salin’s entire characterisation hinges on it… but I digress.)
I don’t even wanna get into the fact that yes, the majority of people using the ‘adopted brothers’ line of justification are only using it to harass Laipel shippers. I have seen my fair share of Laipel antis who also ship Quilue… I guess the fact that he’s not only her first cousin but 17 years her senior is suddenly not a problem for them.
THANK YOU! Salin is such a good example here, I really love what that one detail does to his character, and how it’s totally likely that the followers of Assantur vs the Kalite diplomat would bring different stories home that made it into the books! It’s very obviously a product of unreliable narrators, but I guess expecting people to understand that is too much…
And it’s not that I have a problem with Quilue or Lainen, ship or let ship, but it’s just so wild when Laipel antis claim their ship is better when the age gaps for both would be immediately declared problematic if it was anyone else… Also, Sanen almost killed Lai. With a sword. On purpose. I just want to stress that.
But at risk of being problematique and supporting cousins dating (you just KNOW this is gonna be on my next callout post made by a Laipel anti), I actually love Quilue a lot. Like, Quill and Kalue made the best of their terrible situation, and I think it’s actually kind of heartwarming. The part where Kalue rescues him from the Tower of Anchel and he sees flowers for the first time in years has got to be the sweetest part in all of the books for me.

don’t forget to include important parts about this event when you share this around, when you talk about this, when you remember this.
ahmaud arbery was murdered in february. it’s now may.
they investigated the white men’s claim that arbery was suspected to have robbed a convenience store before investigating arbery’s death.
no further investigations. no arrests. no convictions. for months.
read that again. and again. and again. and be angry.

What’s up just a reminder that the Hula Girl stereotype can go to hell and is in part responsible for Hawai’i being the tourist destination and getting invaded by rich white people, and for Hawaiian culture being disrespected and appropriated
Here’s a few sources on the topic:
How America’s Obsession With Hula Girls Almost Wrecked Hawai’i (the site is weird but the research is legitimate, gives a good overview of the issue and references a lot of sources that are harder to get your hands on read: books)
“Pop” Goes Hawai’i: The Twentieth Century Origins of Tourism in Hawai’i and the Impact of U.S. Pop Culture on Women in the Islands of Aloha (this one is very long but a really good read)
Misperceptions of the “Hula Girl” (this one is a personal essay but it’s an entry in the University of Hawai’i’s academic newspaper)
Cool cool so its Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month so I’m gonna uh. reblog this
Also if you don’t have the time and/or energy to read through these articles lemme give you the basic breakdown (I’ll try to keep this short, but I’ll put it under the cut because it’ll probably still take up space)
Keep reading
Happy Pacific American Heritage Month! Reblogging this again with a bit of extra information.
Oh my God! 😭 You dropped this queen 👑

Fantasy Guide to Employment: Household of a Castle
The castle does not run itself. The castle would remain a pile of stones without servants to keep it running. The guide below focuses on the private household of the lord himself, anybody who worked inside the main keep of the castle. I will be expanding outside the walls in a future post.
The Steward/Seneschal
This person was the head of the household staff. They would have the task of running things on the Lord's estate. They are the managers, so it is up to them to keep the staff in line. The steward would keep the castle accounts and keep the lord informed of all of the goings on of the lands and tenants. They would have to be educated needing to do accounts and write letters. Though the castle's Lady would be expected to do all these things, the steward served as a backup and assistant in all the tasks even representing the lord and lady when they were unavailable.
The Chamberlain
The chamberlain is the servant employed to look after the Lord's bedchamber. He would look after the Lord's clothes as well and keep track of the other servants' liveries, the official uniforms of the guards, pages and squires. This was not always the case, some larger households had a separate office but most medium seized manors and castles lumped them together. The chamberlain's main task was ensuring the lord was kept happy. He would even be the last servant a lord would see at night before he went to bed at night. They would be educated.
The Marshal
A Marshal was in charge of the stables as well as the military presence in the castle. They would oversee the household's horses, carts, wagons, and containers. He oversaw blacksmiths, horse grooms and stableboys. He also oversaw the transporting of goods. The Marshal was sometimes in charge of disciplining servants. They would likely come from a middle class background as well as having military experience and education.
The Page
A page was a young noble boy about seven years old who would be sent to serve a Lord. He would be in charge of tidying up after the lord, carrying messages to other servants and occupants of the castle and serving him at meals. Unlike others on the list, the page would not be paid. His experience was his payment as he would learn the running of a castle and manners of a lord.
The Lady's Maid
The lady's maid is be the female body attendant of the castle's noble women. She would be in charge of caring for the lady's chamber and her things. She would dress the lady and attend her wherever she would. (The lady's maid would basically do all the work a chamberlain would but you know the wage gap...)
Maidservant
A housemaid/maidservant works to clean the castle. She would be among the first to awaken every morning. Her first task would be sweeping the floors. The thing with mediaeval floors a that they were often covered with a thin layer of rushes, a kind of grass. Weekly if not daily, a maidservant would be expected to change out the rushes and scatter new ones. If it really needed it, she would scrub the stone floors which would be done with a soap called lye, made from ashes and lard. The maidservant would also be expected to go into the bedchambers when the occupants awoke. She would empty the chamberpots if need be. She would get rid of the ashes from the fire and ready the fire for later. She would make up the bed or strip it for the laundresses. She would wash anything that needed washing including furniture and ornaments.
Laundress
The laundress was responsible for the cleaning of anything made of fabric in the household. The laundress would have to fetch their own water either from the castle well or from a nearby river. They would heat the water in large vats and add lye soap (the most popular of the cleaning agents). The constant exposure to soap and hot water was physically tough on the hands of the laundresses and their backs. When the detergents were added to the water, the laundress would dump them into the vat and stir that shit like soup. To dry it they would pin it out on lines or beat the water from it. The laundress might make money by selling secrets. Since they are handling unmentionables, they knew what happened behind closed bedchamber doors or what didn't.
Nursemaid
The nursemaid was in charge of the castle's children. They would ensure the child was fed, washed and generally kept alive while the parents would either be away at court or busy with the lands. The nursemaid would be a common woman from the surrounding lands who would come in to care for a noble child in the stead of the mother who would be expected to get on with other jobs. The nursemaid would be an underlying of the noble governess, a sort of hands-off nanny.
Cook
The cook was one of the most important servants in the castle. They would have the task of overseeing the running of the kitchens and keeping supplies in order. They would likely be on call at all times. Henry VIII's cook was often woken in the night because his royal master wanted a midnight snack. The cook was a valued member of the household and would have been highly sought after if they were a very skilled cook. Cooks would have been paid a handsome wage.
Scullion
The scullion was the lowest member of staff. They would be responsible for scrubbing and cleaning the servants quarters and the kitchens. They would scrub floors with lye, scour pots with sand, sweep put the fireplace and clean up after the other servants. They were the first to rise in a castle and tasked to light all the fires in the kitchens.
Payment & Lifestyle
Within the mediaeval household, payment came from the hand of the steward. As the Lord's manager of accounts, he was in charge of paying staff.
The grander jobs in the castle such as the marshal, the chamberlain, nursemaid and lady's maid would pay better. They would have certain privileges including better bedchambers.
A nursemaid who was breastfeeding the Lord's children would be a valued member of staff. She would be fed better than the other servants.
The page would sleep in a chamber off the lord's bedchamber or sometimes at the foot of the bed. A page would wear the Lord's livery so he would be dressed on the Lord's coin.
The chamberlain would have rooms close to the lord and lady, just in case they were needed by the master in any kind of emergency.
The cook would sleep near the kitchens so they were close enough just in case they are needed in the night.
The other household servants would all sleep in chambers together. The women would sleep in one and the men would sleep in another. Nightly dalliances were frowned upon massively.
Most servants came from the surrounding lands of the castle. When the lord and his family were away at court or somewhere else, there would be a drop in employment. Everything would be cut down ex. Instead of three laundry maids, only one might stay on after the lord goes. The steward, the marshal, the chamberlain, the page, the cook, the nursemaid and the lady's maid were all important staff so their job would be permanent.
