i Say Things

*slides into view on a swivel chair while stroking a stuffed rabbit* i've been expecting you-

Greetings, fair internet travelers, men, women, and potplants! Welcome to my blog! I'm theroseempress, as you probably guessed by the fact that that is my blog name. You can call me any variation of said name, Rose, Empress, whatever. Although calling me 'the' would be a bit odd... well, whatever floats your boat man.

I am somewhere between 13 and 233 years of age, though popular opinion holds that I am of an age between 21 and 34. I will neither deny nor confirm the accuracy of the latter range, though the first range is entirely true.

If you happen to know me IRL and thus know my actual name, no you do not shhhhh. (also since when were you on Tumblr and what are you doing here)

I'm chill with basically anyone (whatever your opinions are on anything) as long as you can be respectful/polite about them. While I do have opinions on all controversial topics (being that I am in fact a human and thus biased) I prefer to stay firmly neutral and out of any Important Debates/politics.

Anyway now that we've got that out of the way; you're probably here because of my writing. If you aren't, then yes, I do that. I also do art, but I'm quite bad at remembering to post any of it on here.

I just recently made a slideshow of all (most) of my WIPs! Here it is!

Most of my WIPs are still... well, WIPs, but I have a Wordpress (carolinaauthor.wordpress.com) where I'll be posting them when they're properly written. I also (theoretically) write fic, I'm on AO3 with the same username as here if you're interested ig.

I also have a writing-centric sideblog @wrose-writes so that's there!

I initially had 'my main WIP is' here, but my 'main WIP' changes at least once a week, so just go check out the writing sideblog and it should say there.

Unfortunately I've concluded I can't really keep up with tag games, but I'm still absolutely onboard with ask games! Or just asks in general to be honest. Seriously, you can come into my inbox and just. I don't know, ask me what I think of snails. It's fine.

Well, that's basically all you need to know, so farewell *kicks off desk and goes sliding dramatically back out of view again*

HEEEY, guess whose brain works so weird? Anyway, this is based on a meme in spanish, idk if you have seen it. I love the idea of V having Sparky as a pet. This is my take on it. (Her baby is innocent. He'll always be) Okay, see ya when you least expect it with more dumb things HEHEHEH-

โ€œNobody:

Girls that bullied goth kids in high school:โ€

Attached images are of Taylor Swift, a white woman with sunglasses, blonde hair, a black tank top reading โ€œthis is my fight songโ€, and green shorts. She is wearing a leather bondage harness. It is backwards.

my favorite genre of humor is alt text being just completely factual and somehow reading the image for filth

I had a friend over once who had a panic attack bc my living room at the time had these mirror artworks my mom used to be obsessed with making where sheโ€™d buy hundreds of tiny palm sized mirrors and cover the walls with them and the girl I was hanging out with was fidgeting and overheating and started crying bc my house had โ€œtoo many portalsโ€ so the energy in here was powerfully charged by what she called โ€œa highway of souls from other realmsโ€ so she ran out and collapsed on the lawn exasperated and had to be driven home

I just queued this for a year

You know the Grimm version of Snow White makes more sense than most versions if only because in that version Snow White was like 7 years old.

Like imagine you find a 7 year old in the woods and sheโ€™s like my mom is gonna kill me because Iโ€™m prettier than her and sheโ€™s not kidding. You know this queen is that sort of person. So you and your roommates adopt the kid and tell her donโ€™t talk to strangers. And she keeps talking to strangers and getting poison combs stuck in her hair and whatnot.

Like yeah thatโ€™s kinda stupid but also sheโ€™s seven. She likes apples.

Also imagine it from the hunterโ€™s perspective. The queen tells you this bitch is prettier than me I need you to take her out in the woods and kill her. And then you see who youโ€™re supposed to kill and itโ€™s a 2nd grader. Like how are you supposed to react to that sort of situation? Kill a human child? No. Because youโ€™re not a brainless evil minion youโ€™re just some guy dealing with a cartoonishly evil monarch. Of course you let her go.

Bad look for the Prince of course. Even if she did age while she was in that glass case. He saw a dead woman and just decided to keep her. And once she stopped being dead he was like weโ€™re married now

He did cause the evil queen to dance to death in red hot shoes though. That was kinda cool.

With the acknowledgement that I'm grasping at straws, is it ever directly confirmed that the Prince wasn't also 7?

See, I think that still works.

You are the guardsman assigned to protect the eight-year-old Prince. You are currently in the middle of the forest because he absolutely had his heart set on "going hunting", and the royal second-grader should definitely not be traipsing around the woods on his own. You let him go a little on ahead and he comes running back talking about how there's a dead girl in the clearing and there's no-one else around and he wants to take her home because she's really pretty, Hans, and she's all alone!

You let him drag you to said clearing and okay, that is one angelic-looking dead child alright, and on the one hand the quality of her clothes and the craftsmanship on the coffin (who builds a see-through coffin?) speak to potential Consequences if you simply carry her off, but also for the amount of vines that have grown on the coffin she looks extraordinarily un-decayed, so you should probably get the court alchemist's opinion on that, and there's no way he's going to come all the way out here in his embroidered velvet curly-shoes. And also this kid is technically assigned by God as your natural superior, or something.

So fine. You hoist the coffin onto your shoulder (it's not like the Prince can do it. He's eight.) and head back toward the castle, Prince chattering blithely all the way. And then you turn your ankle on a rock and suddenly there's a thump and a cough and a lot of shouting from inside the coffin and you have now become a key player in a tense political incident with the next kingdom over.

You should probably ask for a raise.

WAIT NO THIS IS GLORIOUS

I have the most wonderful watercolor fairytale movie playing in my head right now from this interpretation, well done all.

me: (making a mistake) (eating a hot piece of potato right out of the oven) (breathing and chewing with my mouth open) HAAAAAAFASASFAFHAA

my gf: (in a completely different room) โ€ฆ what is that sound? are you eating a hot potato?

The cousin of "he would not say that:" he would not keep saying that. It was a one off funny line for one particular situation. Every memorable line does not need to become a running gag.

The good news: you get to pick your new soulmate! (You can define "soulmate" however you want: platonic/romantic/partners in crime/etc. But they will be in your life, constantly.)

The bad news: you don't get to pick where they come from.

Spin this wheel until you get a fandom with characters that you recognize. As soon as you do, stop. One of those people* is going to be a constant presence in your life, whether you like it or not. So choose wisely.

*broadly defined

Happy April Fool's Day! More Runaways Memes be upon ye! it's ok Hannah, I don't really understand memes either.

Taglist, sorry for two tags in one day but you're the only people who are going to appreciate the shitposts about the blorbos who currently only exist in my head and manuscripts on my hard drive. Ask to be added or removed!
