It’s kind of weird to believe that sparrow only has two children, being Logan and the hero from fable three, because when I play fable two I spend 90% of my time sucking and fucking my way throughout Albion. The amount of STDs that I have is the most important stat I ever check, it’s like a treat at the end of the day for all the hard work I do spreading all of my diseases to my multiple spouses.
Yeah, sure the only reason why I save my family at the end of the game is because I want my dog back, but honestly, the amount of children I have is bordering on concerning by that point.
No wonder why Hammer will never love me… at lest I still got Reaver
I'm once again sad we don't see Hammer in 3.
HOBWs room at the begining of 3 is so funny to me because like... Logan had bestie in the fucking corner? Their room is realtively easy for the public to access, they're right above the kitchens and at until they beat Logan they have to go through said kitchen to enter the main part of the castle. Like excuse me?? Why can't they be in the house with everyone else???
Not to make anybody sad but, well...misery loves company, and I'm currently miserably sick, replaying Fable 3 and remembering an old headcanon I have of Walter getting the dog you have in game for the Hobw's first birthday after Sparrow's passing. Jasper was originally against the idea, not fond of the thought of having to clean dog hair off of everything the young princess/prince owns, but when even Logan agrees it could be a good idea, he caves and agrees with the plan, if only to see the Hobw happy once more. It's the first time the Hobw, and Logan for that matter, smile since the Hero King/Queens passing. And if the prince/princess keeps and only ever rides an unusually beautiful mare that was gifted by a certain capitalist industry tycoon, well, nobody raises an eyebrow.
This probably isn't a new headcanon or anything but I gotta share my thoughts.
In my mind, the reason why there are two different hero weapons in the Sanctuary is because one was supposed to go to each of Sparrow's children. The hammer for Logan, the sword for the HoBW, the pistol for Logan, the rifle for the HoBW.
They're living weapons that change with their users. You can't tell me Sparrow — the master blacksmith — didn't create them on their own.
The Sanctuary was meant for BOTH royal siblings. Sparrow couldn't have imagined what Theresa was going to do, pitting them against each other like she did for the "gReAtEr GoOd."
I also can't imagine Sparrow would ever refer to Theresa as their guide after she used them for decades to get control of the Spire. If Sparrow had known, I think they would have warned Logan and the HoBW not to trust anything the blind seer says.
And maybe it's my own bias but I can't imagine Sparrow leaving everything magical to their secondborn child. There's no way in hell Sparrow could have known only one of their children would have overt Hero abilities. Sparrow only manifested their powers in their 20s so when they died, they fully could have thought Logan would be capable of using magic and accessing the Sanctuary.
(And I refuse to believe Logan got NOTHING from his heroic bloodline, he just can't use Will abilities)
I don't know. It just feels to me that the HoBW was given the things meant for Logan but that might be projecting the fact that Logan was my Sparrow's favorite child lmao
Like yes Albion needed a fully manifested Hero leading the fight but if/when destiny called on their children (aka Theresa being manipulative again) I can't see Sparrow expecting them to fight in any way other than together.
So they were each left a weapon and a wish from a parent who adores them both that when the hell comes knocking at their door they would face it together. Sparrow took every horror on alone. They would never wish that on their children.
tldr: I headcanon that Sparrow made the hero weapons themselves expecting both Logan and the Hero to work together and make use of them. They weren't able to because Theresa meddled and their children were manipulated the same way they were
I saw someone suggest the idea that the Ushers all represent a deadly sin - here is which I think they are and why
Prospero - Lust
Camille - wrath
Leo - gluttony
Vic - sloth
Tamerlane - pride
Fred - envy
The Twins (Roderick and Madeline) - greed
Prospero is Lust, not only because of his hedonism but his unabashed Lust for power - he is filming his anonymous orgy so he can blackmail powerful people and dies in the midst of his orgy - but I could also see him as sloth (wouldn’t come up with a proper business proposal, didn’t bother to check that the tanks held water not acid)
Camille is Wrath, she approaches everything - her siblings, her job, her assistants/lovers and verna in the end with rage - and she gets killed by an angry animal
Leo is Gluttony - he indulges himself in abundant drugs and abundant sexual partners, despite having a relatively good situation - he has a successful career that doesn’t put him directly under his fathers control, he has a committed caring partner but still he gluts himself on everything that comes his way, he dies chasing a cat that hunts far more than it needs too
Victorine is Sloth - she doesn’t want to put in the work needed too make her device work, she just takes shortcuts to make it seem like it is working, she kills her partner in part because her partner who is actually the skilled surgeon doesn’t want to do the work anymore (admittedly this one I’m not as sure on - she might be pride, refusing to admit her device doesn’t work out of fear of failure)
Tamerlane is Pride - Of all her siblings she is the most proud of being an usher, and the most obsessed with her own image, obsessed with beauty, obsessed with being a success, she will not take anyone’s advice not even her husbands, she is proud and controlling in her relationship forcing her husband to go along with her voyeuristic kink when he doesn’t want too. This is a double-edged sword as she is also deeply insecure, outsourcing intimacy and dying as a result of smashing mirrors attempting to prevent Verna taking her place (alternatively she could be envy - envious of Verna etc.)
Fred is Envy - he is envious of his father and his effortless command presence and his fathers success, and he is envious of his wife, punishing her horrifically purely because he believes she cheated on him, (even though she didn’t, all she did was think about it and go to a party where she was alone) he is so envious that he even makes an attempted coup against his father. (He could also be gluttony - his drugs, and dying because putting more and more nightshade in his coke)
Finally the Twins - Roderick and Madeline are Greed - They set everything in motion because they both always wanted more, more money, more recognition, more power, even immortality - through AI in Madeline’s case and in the creation of a bloodline legacy in Roderick’s
I also have one thing to add I think that Lenore (and Annabel Lee and Juno and Morella - Lenore’s mom) represent the seven capital virtues: these are chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness and humility.
Chasity - Lenore dies before she ever has a relationship, she is in gothic story terms a chaste innocent
Temperance - Lenore seems disgusted by her dad having done drugs (also Juno is Temperance, her wisdom in coming to her own conclusion to wean herself off Ligodine)
Charity - As Verna says the charity her mom starts is a result of Lenore saving her mom (also Juno and Morella donating to charity)
Diligence - Lenore sticks to what is right even when it’s hard, giving a statement to the police about her dad, caring for her grandfather, searching for treatment options for her mom (also Juno diligently weaning herself of drugs, Morella’s charity work, Annabel Lee caring for her children)
Patience - Lenore patiently encourages her family to do better and be better
Kindness - Lenore saves her mother, and creates a ripple effect that saves millions of lives (Annabel Lee being kind to everyone)
Humility - Lenore thinks that losing their fortune and company could be a good thing that leads to a moral good for her family
oh no because do you know who i NEEEEEEED??
Him:
Your daily dose of cat memes
“Aegon the realm’s delight” is the saddest line ever. Aegon wants to be a daughter so bad. To be coddled and gazed upon with love and affection rather than distain and fear. Rhaenyra wishes to be a son. She wants the loyalty everyone has to be unwavering. She wants to be feared and respected like a man. They are truly two sides of the same coin.

Had to paint Moo Deng!! I love her so much

reasons why charlotte lebouff from disney’s the princess and the frog (2010) will forever be my favourite disney supporting character and a disney princess in her own right
there are so many horrible ways that disney could’ve taken this rich, white girl but they instead made her a sweet person and a good best friend
charlotte grew up with everything she ever wanted but instead of being a spoilt, awful socialite who was ultimately the villain of the movie and picked on the underdog main character, her best friend was tiana, a waitress (the underdog), who worked herself to the bone and she saw no difference between herself and tiana
it’s not like charlotte was unaware of what tiana wanted and the fact that she was working so hard for a restaurant no one thought she’d open but charlotte didn’t become one of the people who tried to push tiana in the other direction. it may not have been explicit in the movie but i’d definitely like to think that charlotte was incredibly supportive and even encouraged tiana to follow her dreams when tiana felt like she wasn’t going anywhere
charlotte had money but she also had an understanding of the person her best friend was. if charlotte had tried to buy the sugar mill for tiana, tiana would’ve resented her and felt in debt to her for the rest of her life. hell, there was probably a point where charlotte offered to buy it for her and tiana turned it down so charlotte remained supportive of her hard working best friend
have up her own dream to marry a prince when she saw tiana and naveen together. she’d wanted to be a princess for as long as tiana had wanted to own a restaurant but the minute she saw how happy her best friend was and how in love she was with naveen, charlotte agreed to kiss him and keep the promise naveen has made to tiana if he married charlotte
she didn’t see tiana fall down at the masquerade ball and she probably didn’t know why but she still took her up to her room, cleaned her up and put her in the most beautiful dress she could find that would suit tiana. charlotte literally abandoned the guy she wanted to marry because she saw her best friend crying and covered in food, lying in the remains of a destroyed table and went out of her way to make sure tiana felt beautiful
she didn’t press tiana about what made her fall into the table in the first place, if anything, she tried to take her best friend’s mind off it by talking about dancing with the prince and her comment about “well, back into the fray” (imo) was her way of saying “i know you need a minute, i’m going to give you all the time you need until you’re ready to come back downstairs and join us”
didn’t lament the loss of the “man-catching beignets” after tiana fell into the table and didn’t even bring it up again, that would’ve been an incredibly sore spot for tiana and charlotte didn’t make a big thing of it even though she literally paid tiana to make them and serve them at the masquerade
whenever she ate at a cafe or restaurant tiana was working at, she likely overtipped on purpose (as seen when she legitimately pulls a stack of cash out of her dad’s wallet and gives it to tiana without even checking how much she’s given her) because if she couldn’t buy the sugar mill for her best friend, she sure as hell was at least going to help her get the money to buy it herself
was just as excited, if not more excited, when tiana and naveen got married because she is seen practically glowing with happiness as her best friend gets married
she’d been duped by lawrence and the shadowman too, she’d thought lawrence was actually naveen and to a degree it was likely that she’d developed genuine feelings for him but she didn’t make a big deal of it and she showed tremendous strength for someone who had been catfished to that extent
while charlotte doesn’t exactly understand money and the fact that she’s gotten everything she’s ever wished for, she doesn’t force tiana to have the same values and ideals. she’s supportive of tiana making her own way in the world
she’s a good friend, okay? she loves tiana and she actually tries so hard to support her in anyway she can. charlotte didn’t know what was happening in the bijou, she wasn’t aware of the danger tiana was in, but if she had been, charlotte would’ve found the shadowman and murdered him with a single look for what he did to tiana and naveen
charlotte probably covered for tiana when she and naveen went back to the bijou for ray’s funeral and when they came back again, human. the last time she’d seen the two, they were frogs and even though she believed in magic and wished, not everyone did, so she probably made up the most beautiful story for why they disappeared so tiana’s mother wouldn’t worry about her
she didn’t get bitchy and awful like the other girls did when tiana said she couldn’t go out dancing. charlotte spent what time she could with her best friend around the time constraints tiana had and there’s nothing wrong with that
in the end scene of the movie, tiana is seen giving charlotte the biggest hug and charlotte looks so proud of the restaurant her best friends produced, she doesn’t have any spite toward tiana for getting both her dream and charlotte’s
come on, are we going to pretend that Miss Charlotte “The-Most-Fashionable-Woman-In-New-Orleans” LeBouff didn’t help tiana make the most beautiful, stylish restaurant possible then talk it up to every single person she’d ever met to make sure tiana had customers?
i would scrape my own eyes out with a rusty spoon before i allowed absolutely anyone to try and convince me that charlotte was not tiana’s maid of honour when she got married
charlotte literally did tiana’s hair for her when tiana got changed after falling into the table. this rich, white girl did her best friend, a beautiful WOC’s, hair with no complaints and i also love the fact that charlotte probably didn’t even do her own hair but she did tiana’s
charlotte lebouff could’ve been a stuck up, spoilt, awful, villainous bitch but instead she was sweet, caring, supportive and just a wonderful character. i feel like she’s a very good representation of women supporting women and miss charlotte existed before elsa and anna were a concept. charlotte lebouff walked so elsa and anna could run but even frozen doesn’t live up to the sheer love and pride charlotte had for tiana.
the princess and the frog is a wonderful, incredible movie about POC and i’m so happy to be able to call tiana my favourite disney princess (yes, i’m white but there’s so much about what she values that means so much to me) but charlotte was an MVP. her friendship with tiana was one of the best white woman/WOC friendship representations i have ever seen, especially for the time period the princess and the frog is set in, and i feel that no matter what background, sexuality, race, social status, economic status, whatever, women should be able to take a page from charlotte’s book because loving your friends is timeless.
as someone who loves women on so many levels (women are just amazing, they always look so pretty and they’re so wonderful and i could go on for hours about everything i love about women but this isn’t the post for that so i won’t) it makes me so incredibly happy to see a friendship like tiana and charlotte’s (no matter how much time they spent interacting on screen).
Imagine not loving Maximus. Cringe fail king. Never makes the right decisions. Quite literally Lucy’s knight in shining armor. Doesn’t know what sex is. Stole his power armor from an asshole. Cannot use his power armor properly.
His loser boy personality has captivated me
no no you don’t get it, Maximus experienced comfort in vault 4 for the first time since he was a CHILD, simple comforts like a fluffy robe and a nice shower that he probably forgot felt like, but he was willing to give it all up and go to war the SECOND he thought lucy was in real danger………
new fallout show's pretty good. i liked the part where the petite delicate lady protagonist somehow turns out to have an even petiter, delicater brother

today my bf and i were talking about visiting my home for the holidays and i was (sadly) wondering aloud if i should cut my hair and our kid was like "why would you cut your hair??? your hair is cool" and not knowing how to explain it to him i said "my family doesnt think boys should have long hair" to which he went silent, wordlessly pulled out his phone and then swiftly held it out with a picture of keeanu reeves on his phone
somewhere out there tonight a girl is having painfully mediocre sex with a man in a ghost face mask.... everyone lets bow our heads and give her a moment of silence for a second .......
