Things to write. Characters to damage. Holly. 25. She/her. Writer of angst and occasional fluff.

Hello! May I know about your regicide au? I miss your writing! (Also i think the buttons freaked out while i was trying to press the ask button so if you just got unfollowed and followed by me a few times then very sorry)

Cracks knuckles You've got a big storm coming.

The tldr is that Regicide is (in the most basic terms) an SBI royalty au that has plenty of ways the plot could go, depending on the choices the characters make. @the-redeemed-anon and I made it at the beginning of last year after I got inspired by a conversation we had about the Ottomans' practice of fratricide as a way of fighting for the throne.

There is a series of our fics on AO3, mainly mine but Anon has written a few fics themself that I believe they plan to post once they're less busy.

If this currently nameless posh twat leaves Windibank's with the overcoat, I am going to get Ryunosuke put on trial again for murder and larceny on Gina's behalf.

I personally believe she's telling the truth about it belonging to her but regardless, I support women's wrongs and will commit wrongs for women if need be.

Ok so like. I'm busy scouring those HD playthroughs for screencaps I can use for the Layton onion headlines right.

And I notice a detail I never noticed before until I looked at the HD version of this artwork.

Hershel is supposed to look ANGRY here.

I never clocked it, (especially because this is a zoomed in version and the real shot is more distant) I just thought he was looking at the papers with a look of shock, a mindset of curiosity. The brim of his hat kinda obscures the look in his eyes.

But no, he's PISSED when he discovers any coverage about the accident is being suppressed. Like. Visibly pissed. Hershel Layton outwardly showing anger levels of fury.

This version of Hershel seems like he's definitely about to do something about it. And honestly it puts the assault that happened directly after into a whole new perspective for me.

Layton didn't JUST get his ass beat for inquiring, I think it's safe to say he was confrontational about it. For the first time he had let himself be in ages, he probably told someone what was what.

And then he is immediately bestowed with such a harrowing experience as his reward. Which might actually be the reason he avoids confrontation like the plague from then on more than anything else, because being direct almost cost him his life.

Yes it's also about being a gentleman and the social ettiquette of things, but it's probably motivated by a deeper fear of rubbing someone the wrong way and being repaid in pain.

i go to the shop and I ask if they have any raspberries. they say no, they used to sell raspberries, but they haven't had any in stock in the last 15 years. I ask if there's somewhere else I can go to buy raspberries. They say no, with confidence and pride, they're the only shop around who has ever sold or will ever sell raspberries. Other shops might sell other fruit, sure, but they have a monopoly on all raspberries forever. I ask if they're possibly planning on them selling them again in future? they say they can't tell me that.

on the way home, I encounter someone eating raspberries. I ask and they tell me that they grow their own, they got some seeds from the shop back in The Raspberry Days and kept them. They take me to a field of many beautiful raspberry plants and invite me to pick my own, they're free for all the town to pick whenever they'd like.

someone comes up behind us. It's the shop manager, President of Nintendo Shuntaro Furukawa. he hatefully throws a bob-omb that blows up and kills both of us instantly for stealing 200 trillion dollars worth of potential Raspberry Shop That Doesn't Do Raspberries Anymore profits that they weren't making and then he turns around to the camera with a big thumbs up and says don't do piracy or something ok please

First family dinner back in Ithaca

Penelope: Want some pork for dinner, Darling?

Odysseus (gagging): No, Beloved. I don't think I'll ever look at a pig the same way.

Telemachus: Ooh! Dad, how about some bee-

Odysseus (terrified): No! Don't even finish that suggestion! (Whispering) He'll hear you.

(Penelope and Telemachus look at one another with concern)

Penelope: Well, we also have some fish.

Odysseus: Perfect!

(Odysseus proceeds to stab it as violently as possible)

Telemachus:...Mom, was he like this before or...?

Penelope (swooning): No, but I'm into it.

I hc the lost country to be India and it would be so fucking funny if The King is like "SAY IT BRIGHT ONE SAY THE NAME OF THE COUNTRY" and Siffrin just. Responds in one of the OTHER languages like yes only two people are from this country but they're from different parts of it and don't even speak the same fucking language

Nope, nope, nope!!! I usually wouldn't care by why are we eurocentering my post about an Asian country that was colonised for centuries??? With the country that colonised it of all places???

Part of the tragedy of isat is how King and Siffrin's loss of culture has happened in the real world!!! And no one notices! And in the story it's because of the memory wiping nature of wishes, but in the real world it's just ignorance or not being taught or that history being buried.

I don't think it was intentional but it reads as really tone deaf, especially when Ireland which also experienced culture loss could also apply as it has the same geographical location. Also some related screenshots from the dev

30 years is such an incomprehensible amount of time. I’m under 30, i assume most of the people reading this are under 30. Dean himself was not yet 30! He was 28-29 when he died.

More than his entire lifetime. he held out for more than his entire human lifetime before finally giving in, picking up the knife. And then crawled out of the pit still human, still empathetic and human.

I will never understand the perspective that Dean is a selfish character.

i love how jack came into the world and it was like a) your mom is dead and died in childbirth and she loved you and believed in your power to be good and b) your dad is actual lucifer like from the bible.

and now there are two (2) adults in your life, neither of whom are your biological parents, but that's okay because this is the family-don't-end-in-blood show. but one of the adults is trying to work through his own self-worth issues when it comes to being Tainted By Lucifer™ and the other one was widowed in the exact hour of your birth. neither of those things really has to do with you but they're both being projected onto you and you're also like, a day old.

and the only person who was also on your side when you were in utero is dead and happens to be the lover of the widower who now hates you because of what you represent, which is a Whole Other Thing and you don't even really get why he hates you to be honest because again, you're new here and you're just finding out about good and evil as concepts at all.

so you're now stuck very much in the middle of a complicated and fucked-up family dynamic that is not yours because you just got here and caretakers one and two are arguing about such subjects as 'should you be killed at the first opportunity' and it seems like they're both kind of bringing their own baggage into the situation. the mother-brother is like 'i'm tired of being the caretaker for everyone' and the son-brother is like 'that's too damn bad' because if mother-brother stops being the caretaker then what the hell will come of it all? and there's just a whoooole lot of history you don't even understand.

then fortunately the dead lover guy comes back and you maybe made that happen, so mother-brother guy doesn't want to kill you anymore, and you also now have someone in your life who actually wanted to care for you the whole time. yay! but you're also not sure if you want to be taken care of, or how someone would go about it. and he doesn't seem to be sure either. everyone here was classmates at the school of absent fathers, by the way.

and then enters the mother-mother. not your dead mother, but she's someone's dead mother. she haunts everything and the idea of her doesn't match up to the shape of her and you're starting to kind of get the fucked-up family dynamic you've been dropped into. but here's a mom! and how nice is that? you wanted a mom and here one is. only she's not really your mom and she doesn't really want to be a mom but she does love you and she turns out to have a more motherly relationship with you than she does with either of her real sons. and that's nice, but there's also maybe resentment from those sons, or maybe just one of them, because the other one had a mother, and it happened to be his brother.

and all of this happens within the first like six months of your life and we don't even have time to address when you actually meet your father satan ✌️
