#how to pick a spouse

[essektheylyss]

Okay but how often do you think Essek or Caleb has called before bed and had the other person pick up in the middle of some kind of minor fight and have to go, "HELLO sorry if I seem distracted, in the middle of something, but that's not important how are you dear how was your day—"

#cr spoilers #shadowgast #honestly even moderate fight lmfao they are that confident in their abilities lbr #I say this as someone who literally picked up my spouse's call eight minutes before the episode started #and was like 'just so you know if you had called during a lore drop I was not going to pick up :3' #he was like 'WOW I SEE HOW IT IS' and I had to be like 'I HAVE ANSWERED CALLS DURING SOME GREAT SCENES. THIS IS DIFFERENT' #me voice: I've been waiting to hear about the cerberus assembly bullshit for 84 years....

The "why are people criticizing romance tarot readers, I don't want to do shadow work readings" shit I saw on here a few months ago did a lot to my psyche, mostly make me realize I should not be consuming that content as much as I have been over the past few years.

I also learned that anyone who has a problem with doing shadow work or self reflection readings but obsesses over romance are probably suffering with limerence like me and that snapped me tf awake

Edit: also what the FUCK do you mean "if this pile just sounds like it's describing yourself, that just means your person is mirroring you!!" NO???? THAT MEANS YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON YOURSELF BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE WHY ARE WE SAYING THIS TO IMPRESSIONABLE PEOPLE

#viri talks about things; #pick a card #pick a pile #tarot #i say this without meaning to project but think about how most of us stumbled into spirituality #it was heartbreak or trauma right #so what do you think happens when you alchemize that trauma into a future spouse that doesnt exist in reality #what if the energy in readings is just giving you a snapshot of the energy you have and that energy is delusional #like....this was actually so dangerous for me because i only JUST fully snapped out of a limerent obsession #and i know others who have also trusted yt “”“spiritualist”“” tarot readers that rarely ever have realistic views #i really had to go inward cause why am i as a black person depending on white women for spiritual guidance #especially when most of them cant differentiate between manifestation privilege and manipulation #this rant is solely about my experience btw argue w your mama but these spaces need a revamp

#I do not recommend this show at all - I only watch it for T'Pring #It's bad in almost every way #But it is funny how like 0 of the romantic relationships don't have something questionable to do with cheating in them #I know La'an and Kirk hooked up in an alternate timeline (it's complicated) <- did not watch the episode too boring #But it's more about the essence of infidelity now in the canon timeline. That's the only obstacle they can think of #for these straight forbidden love plots <- Not counting Pike sleeping with that alien lady #Idk what's going on with him and that human lady he's with...captain girlfriend. Maybe they're open v_v #as I said - it's really about the essence of infidelity #THAT'S the ticket #star trek memes #but I am serious the show is bad -_- #I liked it at first but then it was just like .... bad & also a slog & also like genuinely sending bad messaging - not campy/fun bad #I don't think I'll watch anything else that doesn't have T'Pring or Vulcans in it (yo ho ho) #<- I want to pick and choose aspects of Vulcan culture to implement into my personal canon #<- The customary parent-in-law vs spouses roast session IS too funny for me not to say yes and to

the difference between the triumph in 'i found you!' and the shame in 'you've found me.' is proof enough!!!

#distext #i feel strongly enough abt this one to tag it #the silt verses #youve found me and the god i unwittingly fed-- it was never yours but it was mine and you stayed because you found me. #blah blah the narrative twists to incorporate the listener's hopes and desires for a happy ending blah blah #but the god is not capable of denying the rapture in the journey. it is in fact all it has to offer. #sebastian being unhappy *now* doesn't mean that the god is unfed. of course not. the journey is eternal. #but the lingering doubt would not have been centered upon his lifelong traveling companion. because that *spoils it!* #there is no journey in staying here. staying here is an ending. and the other narrative can't bloom with such a shadow hanging over it. #hope exists. of course it does. it must. but it isn't like. saccharine and revisionist. #not the decision to stay in the place of potential and never see and ending through. #dev calls him sebastian. whether it's an attention check (are you listening?) or a slipup back to formality it is a fuckup. #in much the same socially inept way that 'let's stay here' was such a desirable idea for your lover this morning you dont even consider NOW #elephant. elephant is what i meant. #anyway. meta fodder for the listener (i dont have the commentary but ive seen the phrase 'coin-flip') vs. watsonian social interactions. #........ frankly i dont think that sebastian gave enough of a fuck to pick a winner between hayward and carpenter either but that is just m #i think there's probably something smart to say about how moving forward this season involves nothing but uncertainty #where even following the cairn maiden to an assured ending leaves the pulsing question of when #but man im just upset. gay sex saved the day solved the mystery and now we're going back to get shotgun married to dodge the draft #if you dont have your own insurance plan your spouse's is fine. #sorry. what was i talking about? #right. there isn't a joy in this. there is no definite moment where the hurt- this trauma. the fog.- would pass and settle into comfort. #and among all of the promises and threats. it would only hurt for a moment. #nope! congrats. scarred for life you have to keep on living and difficult conversations you have to keep on having and continued awkwardnes #can't catch me suicide metaphor i'm gay as fuck. anyways #podcast tag #tsv spoilers

@dennorweek day 4: royalty

let's not kid ourselves this is a very tedious connection but i took it as an excuse to word dump a bit about the kind of dynamic i sometimes like to imagine with historical canonverse dennor. poorly backed up musings under the cut

based on like .05 seconds of research i did at some point i got the impression that historically, even when they formed a united country, d.enmark had more power over n.orway (or at the very least, more power than n.orway) than vice versa, and it got me thinking about power dynamics. this is just my own headcanon but i could see it like... nor knows full well that their relationship is unequal and den could at any point mistreat him with little repercussion but at the same time nor knows he never would. cocky and arrogant and power hungry though he may be, the affection or even love den has for nor is genuine and he would never think of treating nor with anything less than full respect. then again, a situation where one person has considerable power over the other is no foundation for a fully comfortable and normally functional relationship, and their weird romance has that undercurrent of instability built in. although i think for countries this kind of messed up relationship is kind of the norm since at any given time there's usually some kind of power imbalance going on, not to mention inherently clashing political interests... anyway, dubiously historically accurate musings aside, i couldn't resist putting them in vaguely viking era clothes even though the situation i was going for could be slightly more believably connected to their 16th century union ahahaaaa

#dennor #hetalia #aph denmark #aph norway #dennor week 2022 #i have actually SO many headcanons about how different nations would react to being powerful at any given point in history... #how characters handle having power is basically my favourite theme to ponder lol #now that i think about it the prompt 'country' for day 2 might have fit slightly better lmfaooo #i guess i picked royalty to dump this headcanon because like... kingship. ownership. political marriage. power imbalances between spouses #maybe even that trope of the king obviously having more political power than his queen but respecting her opinion and agency to the point #their relationship may seem 'equal' but then theres always the indisputable fact that its not /really/ #idk

Of these, I guess. Tell me if a different line stood out for you!

We must secure a peaceful world.' #for three reasons! 1. highlights how his priorities have changed wrt finding a spouse #2. is blatant about a proposal being hilda's idea / initiative #3. can imply a love for other characters and he wants to see how things turn out with them first #(to ME that was fae/byleth. but pick your poison) #i'm going to vote for the matters of status quote #because i felt like all that characterization wrt leonie and byleth was forgotten for hopes and i hated it #his growth is very important to me

If you respond to an lgbtq headcannon with "Herm but they have a cannon child where did they come from?" I am going to hit you with a car.

#Especially an aroace one! You do realise you neither have to romantically love someone nor be sexually attracted to them to have child? #Xander is the King of Nohr #he would have taken a spouse and had a child out of obligation to have an heir #All of his S-supports bar maybe Charlotte's if you squint is him says they would be a good queen #Xander picks his wife like how he would pick a cabinet minister #You'd think knowing me this would be about Chrobin #but no idgaf about gay chrobin #there are no woman involved you think I care? #No #put a pretty woman in there and I'm with you #fire emblem #fire emblem fates #fe14 #lgbt headcanons

People who hate on someone for being a housewife/househusband/stay at home partner are the weirdest, like sorry buddy I'm afraid capitalism has messed up with you real bad coz single income households have always been a thing before capitalism pretty much erased the concept.

#dislike how these haters jump to conclusions like calling them pick me girl/boy or assuming they're leeching off of their partners somehow #as if stay at home spouses all have a sugar daddy/mommy 🙄 #not having a corporate job isn’t a bad thing if you don't want to & if there's enough money #things #capitalism #stay at home mothers #stay at home wife #stay at home husband

ftr Gwydion is an Amell through his mother but his father is a Trevelyan. dear ol’ dad took his wife’s surname because Marcher tradition is that if a partner comes from a “lesser” family (read: one with less money or power) they take the surname of their more influential spouse,

so on his maternal side, Gwydion is urban gentry, with their wealth being ancestral but also coming from managing the family mines/quarries. on his father’s side, they have quarries and mines on their land, sure, but the Trevelyans are rural; their titles and noble status come from their ancestors who left Ferelden after Calenhad started making a fuss and their reputation is as stellar horse breeders

#in the free marches if you want a good horse. you go for trevelyan stock #cue jokes about how revka and/or sebastian pick spouses based on horse breeding rules

Welcome to my family, where my oldest was talking about how a kid asked the rabbi tonight which came first - chicken soup or the matzo ball which launched me into asking "wait how old ARE chickens??" and now my man is reading down a list of animals domesticated from oldest to newest

#Actually I yelled it across the house and my man was like WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT #Because I do that way to often #Imagine you're sitting at the dining room table picking at the last of your dinner and you hear your spouse yell HOW OLD ARE CHICKENS

apparently "being like Roy Mustang" is not a healthy way to deal with your problems. Who knew? Certainly not me, and certainly not Roy Mustang.

#personal #go to premarital counseling they said #it'll be fun they said #they didn't tell me i would break down crying because apparently my dad's depression affected me WAY more than I told myself it did #apparently “that affects how you see relationships and their roles” #and I guess my coping skill of being resilient and moving on really quickly is not because I'm super cool #but because I feel the need to be like my mom and be strong in case people fall apart and break so completely like my dad #and I guess I am deathly afraid of my spouse falling into depression as deep as my dad did #also I have a weird complex about being used to being picked second??? #anyways #ruby overshares in the tags #but like i also think that's why i adore the character of Roy because I get it #I get the pushing everything aside and telling yourself you've dealt with it but really you've just dealt with it enough to survive #and you make yourself strong as hell and you RUN after your goals like they can save you #and like I'm not a war criminal but I get it. I get the trying to atone and trying to be better #chase your goals and run as hard as you can so you can lie to yourself about why you're running #running towards and not from something #but we're really just running from something #ANYWAYS #fma brotherhood #roy mustang needs therapy #so do i #roy mustang

Me: *trying to decide what One Metal Poster I want with my 30% coupon.*

Also Me: *Accidentally creating a MEGA 9-Part Metal Poster of fave One Piece Characters*

My Goddamn Spouse: Okay, but when you buy that I want the coupon you're gonna get from it.

#that's real support right there #spouse isn't even a One Piece fan #I think I just bought my own birthday present though cause whew that price tag #Gonna have the coolest wall #adulting correctly #just need to get a one piece tattoo now #I just started this show in 2022 how has it consumed me so much? #I could barely keep myself to 8 characters #spouse bought a picture of Going Merry that's gonna be the center piece #Luffy's on it too so I didn't have pick him for the surrounding pieces

I do have to impress on anyone who wasn't around for it how batshit the reality boom of the 2000s could be. Especially on Fox.

Here are some 100% real 2000s reality shows:

Who's Your Daddy? A woman has to guess which of eight men is her biological father. One of them really is, and if she guesses right she wins $100,000. If one of the seven fake dads convinces her to guess them, he wins $100,000.

Black. White. A white family learns about racism by living a month in blackface, while a black family spends a month in whiteface. The black family was a real family, but the white family was just some actors hired to put on blackface to prove racism exists

Without Prejudice? Five strangers decide which of five strangers gets a cash prize based off clips and their answers to political questions. Cancelled when one of the choosers openly said he'd eliminate all black contestants

Welcome to the Neighborhood. Three conservative white families in a Austin subdivision decide which diverse family gets to move in. Unaired due to being literal housing discrimination

Seriously, Dude, I'm Gay. Two straight men try to pass themselves off as gay and whoever seems more gay gets $50,000. Unaired due to. Due to. Due to

Playing It Straight. A woman tries to find love among fourteen men, half of whom are straight and half of whom are gay, and she must eliminate two men she believes are gay each week. If she ended up picking a straight man in the end, they'd split a million dollars; if she picked a gay man, he'd win a million dollars

Boy Meets Boy. This was Playing It Straight but starring a gay man and he had to eliminate straight people

Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire? He wasn't a multimillionaire. He didn't even have a million dollars in liquid assets. He had a battery conviction Fox claims they didn't see. Because it was the 2000s, somehow this ended up with the woman he won being widely vilified and turned into a national punchline. How dare she complain about a massive corporation tricking her into marrying a lying abuser, good thing Matt Lauer's there to take her down a peg

The Swan. A "ugly" woman is given plastic surgery and wins a prize if she's the hottest at the end of the season. If she's not hot enough by the show's standards she's eliminated and called ugly on national TV

The Biggest Loser. Overweight people engage in competitive crash weight loss that often led to awful health complications. Studies showed basically everyone on the show regained any weight they lost once it was over and they didn't have abusive trainers demanding they take huge health risks to win a competitive weight loss competition. Like the others, this one was cancel-oh, it was a massive hit that ran for 18 seasons? Yikes!

Wife Swap and Trading Spouses. These were the same show and had a wife from one family go to another family that was different politically, racially, culturally, religiously etc. Most famous for the God Warrior

At the time people focused on the likes of Fear Factor but looking back it's wild how many of the worst shows toyed with politics. So many of these shows have a premise that's like "what if we exposed these conservatives to these people they hate?" or hyping themselves up as Important Experiments. Then they'd freak out when they got the kind of viral bigoted freakout they were trying to construct the whole time.

There were also a bunch of horrible reality shows, thankfully this time mostly unpopular, in the 2010s that based themselves around economic themes as a response to the market crash, but that's a story for another time
