GUYS REPOST THIS I NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT

What country are you from as a Keeper of the Lost Cities fan??

I need to find another Irish fan...

dragon slippers stans rise up

Big fan of sun motifs in characters not necessarily being about positivity and happiness and how they're so " bright and warm" but instead being about fucking brutal they are.

Radiant. A FORCE of nature that will turn you to ash. That warmth that burns so hot it feels like ice. Piercing yellow and red and white. A character being a Sun because you cannot challenge a Sun without burning alive or taking everything down with them if victorious.

out of curiosity, what's everyone's least favorite minor character in kotlc[stina does not count]?

mine is quan song for obvious reasons

while the sentiment behind phrases like “find something that works for you” and “find a/talk to a doctor/professional/etc. you trust” are good, they’re thrown in so quickly in so many things and it’s like…that takes so much time. I’ve spent the past seven years trying to figure out a routine that makes it so I can consistently floss after I got retainers. just for flossing. and i only started to get something that kinda works a couple months ago. not to mention the million other things I’m trying to balance and find what works at the same time

i don’t really have a point, just. finding what works and reliable people takes a lot of time. so if you see that as part of advice like a side note (not saying it’s done intentionally) and it feels like a huge mountain. that’s because it is. it’s so difficult sometimes. you’re not alone in that

dimitar is a sexyman. btw. he is big and strong and bald. he let himself be manipulated by a twink. his plague was defeated by some teenagers and the power of friendship. his earring was stolen by another twink. hes a good dad. hes a (morally questionable) king who defends his kingdom. he has cool weapons. he has head tattoos. hes besties with master cadence. and, most importantly, his tits are huge.

public kotlc-linked discord servers i'm on, since there's more news coming out about tumblr's demise:

if the site ever truly goes down, you can find me any of these places, and i'm happy to help gather people up so we can decide where we want to go from there. :)

the rule of fandoms is that if someone has a character in their url or bio they either understand that character well enough to give a 3 hour unscripted lecture on the subject OR they're really obsessed with their version of that character thats an entirely different made up guy. and theres literally never an in between

I did one of these a year and a half ago but a lot has changed so! Without further ado:

the homestuck quadrant system & relationships in KotLC

i am fully aware no one asked for this. WAIT that’s a lie three of you asked for this. @orionhong @the-way-astray @soryasongsaa this post is for you <3 it’s been simmering in my drafts since november and i finally had an excuse to finish, and i hope u guys find it interesting!

so. what exactly is the quadrant system, you may ask? and why is it relevant to kotlc? well, we’ll start with the webcomic homestuck. (oh boy) this comic features an alien species called trolls (based off internet trolls) that have some very fun cultural distinctions, such as a caste system based on blood color and the quadrant system, which is a fun variation of romance that i think could be very fun if we applied it to elves, which don’t have enough cultural differences in my opinion.

homestuck trolls have four type of romance as opposed to one and each has its own specific purpose. 2 of them are necessary for reproduction, and 2 of them are necessary for peace and harmony in society. it’s considered desirable to partake in all four kinds of romance, and there are certain rules around this that i’ll get to later. while KOTLC elves only use the one traditional form of romance, it’s considered desirable to be in a socially-acceptable relationship, an approved match, to help grow the elven species, and have a similar sense of Regulation around romance. telepaths also have cognatedom, a special kind of relationship that adds potential for romantic drama into the mix.

i thought it would be interesting if in an alternate universe, the elves recognized more than one form of romance to distinguish their society even more from that of humans. it’s also just fun to ship characters but with extra nuance and spice. so without further ado, let me explain the four quadrants and speculate which relationships in KOTLC, both canon and otherwise, would be in which quadrant! enjoy this silly little time with me
