On the twelfth day of Christmas, my dark lord sent to me 12 stunners thrumming 11 vipers griping 10 guts a-leaving 9 rabies lancing 8 blades a-tilting 7 wands a-skinning 6 teeth a-swaying 5 gored ribs 4 bawling chords 3 drenched lens 2 degloved lungs And a part-rat in a hair tree

Draco as human Christmas tree

after years of near misses with traffic, pedestrians and lampposts I have finally found the thing that will stop me reading as I walk. today I stepped on a dead rat. 😭

formally launching my campaign for the helena/kaine ship name. their surnames are marino and ferron, right? marino = seawater and ferron = iron. what happens when you mix seawater and iron? you get RUST I've suggested this before, but it's not catching on for some reason? 🤔

The idiom “兔死狐悲” (“the fox mourns when the rabbit dies”) speaks of shared fate—when one falls, the other senses their own end is near. During the Southern Song(1127–1279), rebel leaders Yang An’er and Li Quan rose against the Jin. 1/2 #folklore

During the Southern Song Dynasty, Shandong peasants, oppressed by the Jin Dynasty, rose up in resistance, led by figures like Yang An'er and Li Quan of the Red Jacket Army.  After Yang An'er was killed by the Jin forces, his sister, Yang Miaozhen (Lady Si Niangzi), took command, continuing the fight and later marrying Li Quan, merging their forces. In 1218, they surrendered to the Song Dynasty and settled in Chuzhou (now Huai'an, Jiangsu Province). However, Li Quan sought to expand his power, leading to his downfall in April 1227 when he surrendered to the Mongols after a siege.  In February 1227, the Song sent General Xia Quan to attack Chuzhou. Yang Miaozhen sent emissaries, reminding Xia of his own past and warning, 'When the rabbit dies, the fox mourns. If Li Quan falls, do you think you alone will survive?' Xia agreed to unite with them. 🎨 Fang Chuxiong

I cannot fathom wanting to shackle my entire professional publishing career to a world-infamous terf and her fandom, even if that’s where I started, so watching publishers lean on “this is a big dramione fic reskinned” in actual official marketing has me fully doing horror movie screams inside tbh

realising that in alchemised, helena's cloak may be a red herring (hehe), and instead refer to red being the final colour in the alchemical process ...
