So I'm Reading The Blazing World, And Wow The Empress And The Duchess Are So Gay For Each Other. (Ignore

So I'm reading the Blazing World, and wow the Empress and the Duchess are so gay for each other. (Ignore the weird spelling, but):

"Husbands have reason to be jealous of Platonick Lovers, for they are very dangerous, as being not only intimate and close, but subtil and insinuating."

"at her first arrival, the Empress imbraced and saluted her with a spiritual kiss"

"The Empress, who loved the Duchess as her own soul"

"Your soul shall live with my soul in my body." -Empress, to the Duchess

I will admit, when I initially heard that Margaret Cavendish put an unnamed self insert into her Blazing World book, I assumed it was the Empress, but her self insert being the Empress's ("platonic") lover is even more fascinating to me.

Both of these women are married btw, although the Empress more for political reasons than anything else. The Emperor does not care what she does, and even told her to summon her "dear platonick friend" because he didn't know how to help her. As far as the Duke goes, there's a scene where both the Duchess's and Empress's souls are inside the Duke's body, and initially the Duchess is jealous, but then realizes "there can be no adultery between Platonick lovers" and is cool with it.

And I just. What was that about, Margaret? Please. You, your fictional girlfriend, your husband. What is going on in this book????

And why does the Duke's soul use she/her pronouns?

Please, I have so many questions. Not even about the hybrid animal people this time.

Printing Press Plate my beloved!

Listen, I know some people think but the printing press plate from pulp musicals is only in this tournament as a joke (and it is funny) BUT! I would like to submit propaganda for its legitimate inclusion as well!

The printing press plate is universally beloved side "character". Both the characters in canon and all the real life people I have witnessed listening cheer when it makes its appearances in the three episodes.

It's a 2-D flat shape, a la Bill Cipher, one of the most famous Tumblr sexy men of all time, which also gives it the "why are you attracted to this?" Flare.

Its committed many crimes, knocked out several people, and yet, we're all still obsessed with it. There have been talks of riots if it doesn't make an appearance in Pulp 4.

Tldr; the Pulp Musicals Printing Press Plate is a legit contender and I hope you all will help us get it to the end!

I really don't want it to win but... Ugh you have a point

Yes!!! I saw Cornwallis and Grandpa separately, and I'm so glad they found each other!

so the starkid concert was lifechanging obviously, but real ones were also there to witness the Grandpa and Cornwallis reunion in the middle of Five Guys
