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.

YouTube doing these seasonal recap playlists is funny because there's always going to be songs that you aren't expecting. This time one of them is, of all things, Vindaloo by Fat Les. I don't even remember listening to it in the Dec-Feb timeframe they've used. But sure, I'll listen to Vindaloo again, it's a banger.

On the topic of a sport I otherwise have no interest in, my favourite football chant has to be "Let's pretend we scored a goal" where they count down then start cheering out of nowhere. Closely followed by "You're nothing special, we lose every week."

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.
