i think an underused trope is Not Found Family: when a group of people go through something but they still don’t even like eachother
help me. I have a feeling that I'm annoying and if I post anything it will annoy my mutuals. not straight up "everybody hates me" just. I know I'm not very likeable and so I'm scared.
Me: I don't really believe in gatekeeping a field where anyone can learn with enough work. The training we get in academia isn't impossible to self-teach.
Also me: The number of people calling themselves "historians" or pretending to educate about history on social media when they're just reading Wiki or telling you fun facts is way too high. The job title has meaning. You wouldn't call yourself a mathematician for knowing how to make your graphing calculator make graphs.

Two princesses of Veiland, only about 20 years parting them. There is some kind of thematical connection between them in the story even though the one on the left is not present to it physically and is long dead... The girl on the right is the main character of my story, the awful and spectacular Maya Voronskaya!
Veiland is a country of Ta-nbt world which has its own culture and also is a home for more than just humans. I don't like the name I gave it because it sounds like generic fantasy English "-land" even though it wasn't formed that way. Maybe I will change it to something like "Veilani".
I kinda tried to do a bit more complex poses than I usually do...🥹

Shoutout to characters that are both genuinely deeply kind and also genuinely terrifying and willing to spill buckets worth of blood to get something done. And neither of these are an act, they're just both very true.
i always see “tag fav fruit” posts but i’ve never seen a fav veg post so rb & tag your favourite vegetable
Been reading a lot of history lately and I'm having complicated feelings about, like, standards of living in the present.
We eat food that only kings and nobility could once afford. We have stopped fearing diseases that used to destroy entire families at once. We have complicated hobbies, many so intricate that they are impossible to describe to someone who doesn't already know about them. We live in luxury by the standards of most of history.
And yet, we're still stuck with many of the same fears as the lowest of peasants always had. Can I afford food? Will my lord's decision, made regardless of my opinion on the matter, bring war and famine and ruin? Will a new and unpredictable illness appear and take those I love most?
Luxuries and powerlessness combined in a way they've rarely been before
There's something... interesting? sad? about that line of thoughts, I think
"would you love me if I was a worm"? easy. worms are innocent and kind. but would you love me if I was the real me and not the faint reflection of me I show you to seem better? if even the best version of me, stripped of almost all flaws, disappoints people sometimes and seems unbearable, what would they think of a monster which hides behind that? would you run from me? would you hate me? would the reveal break everything we've built together?
