An illuminated manuscript from a gossip pamphlet found in the First Talon’s desk with the caption reads:

The Treviso Tourney - Knight Takes Rook

Despite the recently crowned King Viago’s presence at this weekend’s coronation tournament, the audience seemed more enamoured with the rare appearance of the newly wed Dellamorte’s. The Champion of Treviso’s magical talents may have left her out of the competition, but the First Talon’s blade received Rook’s favour - and this punter knows to never bet against the Rook!

Why people don't understand when we say

"Rosegarden is bullied"

I finally figured it out. they come from big ships. it seems other people think we're a big ship when we're not. they don't realize how small we are. it's majority ships vs a minority ship. that's not in terms of rival ships, but just the sheer size of any ship.

rg has like 20-30 active shippers (that's being generous. probably closer to like 10-20) at a time between twitter and tumblr; and only like a handful of content creators, most of which aren't even active in the community.

while big ships gets art or fics out the wazoo for big crumbs, we don't. we had huge crumbs the last two episodes and there's nothing. that's not a fault of the content creators ofc, but i'm using it to put things in perspective.

they don't realize even 5-10 people talking shit (joking or not) is huge for us. i've called it bullying in the past because that's what it is when it's so many people against so few. it's the sheer size of the ship vs the bigger ships like wr and nnd that makes the difference between 5 rg shippers talking trash about those ships and this ships talking trash about our's. neither scenario is right, but it hits harder when those 5 attackers are equivalent to 30-40% of one ship's active shippers vs 1-2% of another.

when you don't have enough people to drown out the hate, it becomes exhausting and really brings you down.

half the shippers i've asked said they were afraid to publicly admit to shipping rg bc of how much shit rg gets. i've met multiple people who've left the community because of the bullying, too.

if you check the twitter replies of this crosspost right now—only two hours since i posted it—there's already several people coming forward with their stories and their fears. more and more people keep coming out as the post spreads. my heart breaks for them.

the worst part is that i know rg isn't the only ship with this problem. i'm begging you all to think about how you would feel in our shoes. to try to be more mindful of the size of your ship vs the size of others.

trust me when i say your words are a lot louder than you intend.

Can we just talk about this scene again in light of the last episode, and “Maybe even finally get our feelings sorted out! Good for you, by the way, we’re all sooo happy for you!”??? *Everyone* gets to have an uninterrupted reunion with everyone else, meanwhile Ruby turns to hug Oscar and…something comes up. Something *always* comes up for Ruby because she’s the leader and she has to deal with things while everyone else gets to have their moments in the background. Emerald’s not a problem, Ruby’s got this. She can handle it. Who cares about what she wants? Ruby needs to handle the potential threat and get to the bottom of what’s going on. Ruby has to put the needs of the group over her own. This is *Ruby’s* responsibility, hugs can wait.

But…Oscar’s in the same position. He goes to hug Ruby and something comes up. Oscar has to deal with this and explain while everyone else gets to relax. Hugs can wait.

In conclusion, Rosegarden 🌹🌲

LEIGH YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GENIUS

Something I love about M!iK and don't really see be often talked about is the morals of the story.

Shonen stories usually have to work under the same story restrictions of "power of friendship" and "we can accomplish anything by never giving up!", and while MIK certainly has that, I adore the way they twist it.

Yes, both tropes are present but taken to their absolute extreme. Power of friendship? Ok, here's a huge cast of characters who are all in some level Extremely Possesive of eachother. Never give up on your dreams? Alright, the cast are literal demons who feed on desire.

And the best part is that this is openly encouraged by the story. The story is saying "Yes, be selfish! Chase what or who you want without any shame! Take what you love and guard it ferociously because it's YOURS and no one is allowed to harm it."

Iruma's character growth is not connected to "how much more powerful can he get?" Or "how much better of a person can he be?". He's already powerful and he's already a deeply good kid. His growth is explicitly about how much more demonic he can be.

How much more tightly can he hold onto his loved ones and his desires.

How much more selfish.

Just how refresing is it to read a story where gluttony is a virtue and a goal?
