if you donate one single us dollar to the unrwa, you will have donated more money than you would have by clicking that stupid arab.orb link every day for four and a half years. yes, they do actually donate money to the unrwa, but even with tens of thousands of clicks, most of that money is the baseline $90 they send every quarter. from 2023 quarter 4, half a million clicks turned into $380.57. maths out to six hundreths of one cent per click. just donate to unrwa.

#myaa #everyones pushing so hard for the clicks and like #its nice you think you can make a difference by clicking #but you should understand how minimal the impact of that site is #i can understand if you literally cannot donate #but its frustrating to see ppl reposting the click link so many times without the link to ACTUALLY donate...

even if you're not a supernatural fan, if you've been on tumblr long enough you are, like, culturally. like cultural christianity in america except it's the cw's supernatural. you may never have watched an episode or set foot inside the tag but your regular life shuts down on their holidays and all of your world news is delivered through that point of view. something to think about

#while i'm making equivalences we could look at the comparable impacts of the bible on the western literary canon and supernatural on ao3 #edited to add: y'all i have never seen supernatural either that's the post #yes my brain has been rotted by this fandom but the call is coming from outside the house #that tumblr lyfe #containment breach #spn

ENTRY FORTY-FIVE

Last night, I was thinking about all of the people who have left an impression on me throughout the course of my life. The good, the bad, the ugly, all of it. I started to wonder what is it that makes people have such an impact? I also questioned myself. Do the types of people, places, and things that I find attractive play any role in this?

I suppose in a way it does. Once we become attracted to someone or something, we want it and therefore open ourselves up to it. This openness and acceptance, I believe, is what makes it possible for the impact itself to be developed and eventually gifted, be it positive or negative.

That being said, it's important to realize not everyone leaves a good impact. Sometimes, people cause harm whether it's directly or indirectly, intentional or unintentional. So, my dear people, WE MAKE AN IMPACT. Maybe on potentially everything and everyone that crosses our path. That's pretty significant, right? We should pay attention because IMPACT is important.

People who are confident do things differently from people who are arrogant for example. Their energies and styles are way different. Both will make an impact though, won't they? The quality and after-effect will be very telling of what type of person they truly are. You'll know then what kind of impact was left, a blessing or a lesson.

We simply have to care about the impacts we leave on people, just as we wish for them to care about the impacts they leave on us.

Is this person better off with your company or your absence? Are you better off with their company or their absence? Is this person better off with your arrival or your departure? Are you better off with their arrival or their departure? Side note: things like conceit and anxiety should NEVER answer these questions because they'll lie to you. Use realistic and critical thinking instead.

Continuing on, does leaving an impact require us to push limitations? Perhaps, but make discernments to assure the pushing of said limitations is necessary and appropriate. Limitations are always subject to scrutiny and change anyway. Just try not to push a person's boundaries, be it theirs or your own. Boundaries are what people use to protect themselves with.

A couple of other elements to leaving an impact are being influential and creating some type of change. Inspiring either way, those people, places, and things that compel us to see the world differently. The goal here though, is to never make someone's vision or progress worse. So if you want to make someone see the world differently, watch every move you make. A part of making an impact is instilling trust. You don't want to be the type of person to instill trust just to break a person down.

One article I read talked about, what I view as, the two best ways to make an impact. The absolute BEST and ONLY ways if you want the impact to be genuine are:

*be your authentic self

*make others feel welcomed around you

Truth! The people who are themselves do it better. It's similar to buying something handmade versus buying something that's mass-produced. The handmade item isn't a fucking copy of something else, it's an original! Same with people. Screw trends of any kind, show me who you really are!

Another article I read a while back had a quote in it about people and the impacts they make which I think can be a good fit for this blog.

John Neffinger and Matthew Kohut wrote, "Strength and warmth... Find a way to balance this tension to be the most compelling person that is high-value and commands that attention."

The author explored the strength and warmth mentioned by Neffinger and Kohut, using her own interpretations to explain their perspective.

She interpreted Neffinger and Kohut's version of warmth as:

*giving others a sense of belonging

*letting others know they're cared for

*having a "we're all human" mentality

*appeals to those looking for their "tribe"

*being generous with time and kindness

*shares one's own journey with others

*sympathizes with others

She interpreted Neffinger and Kohut's version of strength as:

*making things happen

*being consistent

*being bold

*being courageous

*having true confidence (not arrogance)

*being assured in one's own authenticity

*being a source of security

*helping others with survival

*gives reassurance in general

*people knowing what they offer is valuable

I'm sure we could all add our own interpretations and perspectives on strength and warmth, but I thought the author's words were more than adequate in pertaining to an individual making an impact. The article continued to share more of Neffinger and Kohut's work quoting, "the ability to master this tension, to project both strength and warmth at once is rare - so rare in fact that we celebrate, elevate, and envy those who manage it. We even have names for this ability. The Ancient Greeks called it a "divine gift," from which we get the word "charisma."

In my opinion, true power and wisdom is humble. And those very elements of power and wisdom can be found in charisma. That innate ability to make an impact on people using nothing more than presence.

True, things like greed, apathy, or power and wisdom without humility can leave an impact as well but as previously stated, we should heartfeltly pay attention to and care about the quality of impact that we leave.

It's crucial for us to take full inventories of ourselves and reflect on things like our own behavior(s), what we're proud of, and what we feel we should change. To hone and improve while remembering that perfection in human beings is a myth.

Maybe that could be an incentive for taking the time to leave a good and gracious impact. While perfection cannot be achieved in people, it can be achieved in the eyes of the person you impact when they look at you.

The good news here is that we get to decide what kind of impact we leave. This also means we should ever be keeping in mind that we can successfully make an impact on people without intimidation or being devoid of human decency. Causing discomfort, fear, or harm earns you bad karma and a bad reputation, not respect.

"This is rightly said that the way you treat people leaves a lasting impact and is often remembered, whether it's in your personal or professional life. How you interact with others, the kindness you show, the respect you give, and the consideration you demonstrate all contribute to how people perceive and remember you."

Some other words associated with making an impact:

*seminal

*indefatigable

*gravity

*primary

*memorable

*ineradicable

I'll conclude by pointing out that last word, "ineradicable," means unable to be removed or destroyed. That being said, make sure the impact you leave is good because it will be a lasting one. First impressions and impacts are not to be underestimated!

"People who greatly impact others in a positive way often possess qualities such as empathy, kindness, integrity, and a genuine desire to help others. They may be good listeners, supportive, and encouraging. They lead by example and inspire those around them to be their best selves."

More thoughts later.

Thinking about Neuvillette finally starting a relationship with you and the melusines immediately noticing it,,

The Chief of Justice, although still seemingly appearing as the cold judge from the courtroom - softens his gaze at the sight of flowers, stopping by a merchant who offers them freshly picked.

The melusines quickly catch on; after all, the judge always tended to leave straight to his home after a long day of work. His amethyst-colored eyes scan the plants carefully, ordering a beautiful bouquet. People who pass Neuvillette by think nothing of it - if anything, better not to disturb him - but the tiny creatures observing him from afar can't stop wagging their tails excitedly, noticing a warm smile appearing on his lips.

The melusines notice how quickly the rain stops after trials. Back when the rain poured down until the sun rose the next day, now it takes a few hours less.

The little creatures hide behind corners and observe both of you; they gasp and cover their mouths when they see Neuvillette kissing your hand goodbye, quickly shushing others.

Every single one of them notices that the chief’s aura glows with happiness; slowly, some people do as well - they greet him with smile, and Neuvillette reciprocates it.

The melusines giggle to themselves when they see you and Neuvillette together, sometimes loud enough for you to turn around and laugh yourself; their cheeks turn rosy, and before they run away - they mutter an apology and storm off to share the news to others.

But when you finally make it official, they SWARM you. They offer to help you with shopping bags, to accompany you to make sure you’re safe, some even offer to do your hair. Small hands wave eagerly when they notice you. They stop by just to cling to your leg and hug it tightly, and you can’t help but ruffle their hair. They offer you their most prized possessions - after all, you’re the same to Neuvillette… or that’s how they understand it.

The melusines craft a special ribbon for you, so you and Neuvillette could match.

It seems like they love you just as much and Neuvillette couldn’t be happier.

#neuvillette is a dad and now you’re also their parent sorry I don’t make the rules #genshin impact #genshin impact x reader #genshin imagines #neuvillette #neuvillette x reader #.blurb

neuvillette is aware that he shouldn’t have let you get so close. but he did, and now he’s lamenting the fact that your hands are grasping at his soft horns — his fucking horns, of all places — and he might like it.

uptight and strait-laced, you’ve never known the chief justice to be someone so easily flustered. yet here he is with heat crawling up his neck, so warm that you can feel it against your palms as they ghost over his skin.

you can’t help but laugh at his current situation.

he was vehemently against you coming anywhere near his hair at first, grumbling about how his horns were on the sensitive side and he would rather not have to go into work feeling uncomfortably aware of their presence on his head.

however, you were hard to deny with that little smile on your face and such soft hands grabbing at his arms, tugging him closer. a sweet voice chanting, "please, honey? pretty please?"

neuvillette has never been good at denying you what you want.

it’s how he ends up sitting at your shared vanity. you comb through his long hair, watching him with amusement in the mirror as he huffs and jolts with every brush of your fingers against his horns.

the fact that he was letting you get anywhere near them was surely a testament to his trust in you. he was completely vulnerable here, at your mercy.

“sorry,” you mumble disingenuously, clearly enjoying seeing your usually serious husband falling apart with a simple action. you quickly tie off the end of his hair with a bow and he sighs in relief, thinking that the torment is over.

it's far from over.

he draws a sharp breath when you lean forward and press two gentle kisses on him; one on either side of his head just beside his horns.

neuvillette glowers at you in the reflection, disapproval written all over his face. "stop that," he scolds.

you do, but only because you're worried he might melt into a puddle before your very eyes if you continue.

it becomes a daily routine after that, with him sitting patiently in front of the mirror while you brush and tie off his hair. and you always end it the same way: two kisses, a soft "have a good day at work," murmured against him, and a mischievous little smile that makes him sigh.

he responds everyday with the same two words. "stop that," with a narrow-eyed glare.

the day you do stop, he's confused and irritated.

not only because you have the audacity to throw a wrench into routine again, which you know he hates, but also because he can't figure out why he misses your lips so much.

"what are you doing? i am going to be late."

"hm?" you peer up lazily from your spot on the bed, still half asleep.

"you have to do my hair."

"i thought you didn't want me to, so i slept in today."

your husband is eerily silent for a moment as he mulls over your words. then, he carefully perches himself on the edge of the bed, back turned to you expectantly and still wordless.

no, he would never admit he likes it just a little bit — the vulnerability, the trust, the feeling of your hands threading through his hair, the intimacy of it. hell no.

but neuvillette doesn't have to say a lot of things for you to understand; not when the way his skin heats up says it all; not when you're the first person to touch his horns in centuries; not when he’s saying stop that with such an affectionate glimmer in his eyes.

you give him four kisses that morning, two on either side.
