Continuation to this post ❤️

Themes: Angst, replaced Mc! Au

When The Stars Didn’t Align Part 2

Lord Diavolo had held a thank you party for the exchange students.

Mc was there by themselves, drinking small sips of their drink, as they watched the brothers and others around her: the woman who had won over their hearts, not too long ago. Mc watched, as she laughed with them. So gently, so genuinely. Not a single sign of an ill intention could be sensed from her, but she still made Mc sick to their stomach.

The brothers had of course given Mc some gifts for this party, maybe simply out of good manners. But it was obvious that Mc hadn’t had been the top of the brothers’ minds, when they were thinking of ways of showing their appreciation: Pressed on the laughing woman’s skin there was a necklace, which Lucifer himself had putten on her. It had a magnificent red stone, in a shape of a heart. Mc felt their throat tighten, so they took another sip.

Soon Mc noticed, him. Mammon was now surprisingly by himself, as the woman had gone to dance with Satan. This is it, Mc thought: This is my chance.

Mc hadn’t told it to anyone, but they had feelings for Mammon. Even though he hadn’t given much attention to them anymore, Mc still had this ever lingering love for him. Now how could Mc just forget the way he used to treat them so specially, ready to do anything to get Mc to stay with him?

Suddenly Mc had this urge to go up to him. Maybe it was because of bravery, a need of closure, perhaps? Or maybe it was simply because they felt desperate, for any kind of attention from their previous number one. They stopped listening to any words of wisdom in their minds, Mc’s legs just started moving on their own.

Their heart was beating so loud, that they could feel their entire body tremble to it. But Mc didn’t care, they couldn’t stay back in the background anymore, not this time.

Mammon looked up to Mc, as he noticed someone approaching him. There it is, Mc thought, as the two had locked eyes for a moment. Mc felt that feeling again that almost ripped them to pieces: a spark of hope.

“Hi”, Mc had simply said. Their eyes didn’t look away from him as if fearing, that if they looked away even for a second, Mammon would have just disappeared. He looked away and responded, bluntly. But the flame of hope was still there.

Before Mc could do anything. Before they could give him the simplest smile, ask him how he’s doing. Before they could ask him out to dance, or anything, his face hardened. His eyes became cold, as he now had brought them back to look at Mc. The edges of his mouth tightened just by a little, his eyelids lowered, not even by an inch. Mc thought to themselves: He isn’t feeling this same spark is he? No, he is trying to suffocate mine.

“What do you want?” Mammon had asked. If Mc didn’t know any better, they could have interpreted his reaction as him having been simply busy or irritated by something unrelated to them. It didn’t matter was their intuition right or wrong, because Mc could almost touch it. His indifference towards them.

Mc’s heart sank. The fire that was burning before, had now created a gaping hole in their chest. As the happy memories of the past were racing on their minds, Mc realized that all of their fears had been real this whole time. They couldn’t do anything else, but put their hand on their chest, as if it was their only way to keep themselves protected from the eating hurt in their heart.

Mc turned around and started instinctively walk away. They couldn’t hear anything, think of anything. They couldn’t even notice the sudden burning sensation on their eyes, as the tears that had waited so patiently, had finally started to let themselves free.

#obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me replaced mc au #obey me angst #obey me mc

Headcanons with accompanying doodles

Below are headcanons and stuff of multiple creepypasta dudes.

Random thought from a friend: Zalgo really not liking being summoned by either their followers or random weirdos, so he would be very passive aggressive and try to cut time short to get the hell out of there so they can go back to whatever they were doing before. Not nessacarily a headcanon, but I'd like to imagine it.

Anyways, Zalgo in a a steriotypical "I really don't wanna be here" shirt

Since me and my friend headcanon Slender as blind ( legally, at least. It can still vaugely see shapes near itself, but otherwise can't see shit without the use of its azoth. Anyways - ), and because of their species weird thing about height, Slender might mistake a light pole to be one of its species and sort of just. Stand there, sizing it up for a couple of hours.

Imagine your walking in the woods and see a fucker the size of a two story house sizing up a lamp post.

It's said ghosts and demons can't get to you if you are in a circle of salt. And since Sally is a ghost, I'd imagine that salt should would work on her too.

Cue, teddy bear in a salt circle. Whoever put it there, who knows - but they are an asshole.

I haven't read LJ's story, so idk if the shit I'm saying would be technically canon or not, but I'd like to think he'd use his box as a place to sleep. Sure, he was imprisoned in the box for a long ass time, but hey - self torture and trauma can't get in the way of a good night's sleep.

'Nother thing about LJ - I'd like to imagine he would collect those dumb plushie clowns. Whether its because he finds them cute or as a way to cope, who knows.

Also, LJ's design is different from the original cause I'd like to think his little accessories and shit can be removed. Also gives the impression of him being a plush doll, which is what he is in my mind lol.

Ill make a post about SlenderFolk and my version later on, but here's an example of how some would sleep. They can also sleep while standing, looking like a tree from far away with their azoth just sort of hanging around everywhere to keep them upright. Course, though, if they were to feel safe enough, they can just lay down like a cat or something.

SlenderFolk are tall as hell, so the thought of them being struck my lighting due to how high they are is funny as fuck. Depending on how old the SlenderFolk is, I'd like to imagine they would have more lighting scars or something like that. Shows the age.

Little doodle of Slenderman as a welp. Result of a convo between my friend on the wholesome tragedy thats going on between Splendor and Slender. In the rp lore, Splendor is the oldest out of the bunch, with Slender being the second oldest. Splendor took care of himself and his brother during the evolution of human civilization, being all cute and shit before character development happened and their relationship turned sour.

But yeah! Slender as a lil cutie.

Speaking of welps - SlenderFolk call their youth welps. Course, the person showed on the ground isn't a welp, as its one of my ocs ( mechanical limbs due to unwilling experimentation by the military - it's a long story ). Again, Slenderman being blind helps create funny ( at least to me and my friend ) scenerios that double as a way to explore SlenderFolk culture and weird cryptid lore.

And that's about it. More to come soon :)

Hi its mee again

not quite sure if ur still writting but i was going to ask for a scaramouche x reader idk if u want a promt or something but uh ill let you choose what you want it to be (please dont make it angst or smut :))

Character: Scaramouche

genre: hurt/comfort

cw: fem!reader, Scaramouche being himself, nightmares, lightly edited you have no idea how long i stare at my posts usually HEWHOWE

Author's note: I hope hurt/comfort counts as not angst hIOEWOIW. Soft Scaramouche is a drug. Have it once and then you're kicking your feet and thinking about him smh smh

He's awake before your fingers touch him. Scaramouche's eyes shoot open, and he's staring back at yours. You're sitting up slightly in bed, mouth slightly parted in surprise. You pull back your hand slightly, and he turns to his side to face you.

"What is it?" he asks. There's the implication of his usual demandingness, but he's too tired to fully commit. You frown as if he had said it perfectly anyway.

"It's nothing. I rethought it, but you woke up before I could pull away…"

"If it really is nothing, then spit it out," he says, curt. He would like to get back to bed, and he knows for a fact he's not going to knowing something could be wrong.

You sigh but lay back down. "I had a nightmare. It wasn't horrible, but…"

He almost huffs at the simple thing. That's all? To think you questioned if he'd be able to handle it. You should have more faith in him, he is The Balledeer after all.

He lifts a single arm, and for someone who claimed to be fine you sure do rush into it. He wraps his arms around you as you lean into his neck. A privilege, he thinks, but he isn’t sure if the thought was about him being so physically vulnerable or about him being able to hold you. Maybe both are true.

Words get caught in his throat, and he sinks deep into his heartless soul for words he's always wanted to tell you but never could while looking you in the face.

"All my strength—what use would it be if I couldn't keep silly, little you safe?"

His words are so soft, softer than he's ever spoken before. He thinks normally this would scare him, but tonight, next to you, in the home you two have bought for each other, but finds it as warming as a summer wind.

"I love you,” he says, burying his face so he doesn't have to think about how embarrassing or wholesome this is. “There is nothing to fear."

"Of course,” you yawn. You shift to get comfortable, and Scaramouche thinks that’s the last thing you’re going to say. “I love you too. For all of eternity, and more, if you’ll have me.”

“That is simply not how that works.”

“I didn’t think so either,” you mumble, obviously dozing off, “but then I met you.”

#scaramouche x reader #genshin scaramouche #genshin x reader #genshin x reader hurt/comfort #does that tag even exist--#well it does now

I saw your reblog of the Sound of Music gifset and may I be so bold as to suggest: IceMav Sound of Music AU plus ABO verse?

Alpha!Ice as the slowly thawing captain, omega!Mav as the governess? TG'22 class as the kids?

AHHHHH HELLO FRIEND WELCOME TO MY INBOX THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING IN (and for that delicious gif of christopher plummer as 6 year old me’s dilfsexual awakening… 👀) AND FOR LEAVING SUCH A YUMMY TREAT FOR ME!!!!

i was SO delighted when i saw this ask because if there are two things i love it’s 1) the sound of music and 2) icemav so naturally i would love to combine the sound of music and icemav right? FORTUNATELY i already have discussed this before with both @nicejobkid and @beterparker so i have Thoughts about this.

(i also have so many thoughts about the sound of music being mav’s favorite movie in canon but i can’t find the post i made on that right now so i’m just going to sit quietly and seethe)

but YES icemav sound of music au … the a/b/o verse was NOT included in our original draft but hey, what the hell! i can most certainly get behind it. i don’t have that many ideas for the a/b/o aspect of it right now but i love love LOVE the sound of music aspect of it…

just, ooooh i love the idea of mav being the one to teach ice to open his heart again, and just being so achingly mav that ice is helpless to stop himself from falling so hard and so fast after he starts to dethaw again… i love the idea of the daggers being their kids too bc those kids would ABSOLUTELY try to play matchmaker after things start to heat up between ice and mav… maybe we could have a little fun and spruce the au up with some original scenes too because i just know that hangman would be pushing ice and mav together like barbies, little shit that he is… phoenix too bc anything hangman does she has to do better LOL

and on mav’s side ugh the idea of him developing a very ill-advised crush on his hot boss who wants nothing to do with him is unfortunately so on-brand 😔 especially one he thinks is majorly out of his league (because in this au ice certainly would be)…

it’s interesting to think about how mav’s circumstances might affect his personality a little bit, the same with ice… but the most interesting and wholesome change to explore might be his faith (if one were to stick close to canon and make the abbey his home like maria) vs his sexuality and like… father viper (FATHER VIPER WOULD BE SO FUNNY) giving mav some very supportive lgbt ally parent advice about god loving all his children etc etc <3

maybe that would even be why mav leaves at first bc he’s not just in love with his boss who happens to be engaged to somebody else, he’s in love with a MAN … but love wins in the end and they all live happily ever after <3

anyway since you mentioned a/b/o thoughts like i said, i still don’t have many but uh . there might be something there with captain von trapp’s whistle 😏

#ask #reply #saengak #top gun #icemav #thank you so much for the ask!!!#this was fun to think about :D

https://aristotels.tumblr.com/post/739069720012161024/when-you-talk-about-the-protag-in-stardew-valley

Hi, same anon. I was trying to give further evidence of your point (i.e. that SDV lets you literally become a landlord), not sure if that came through, but never mind that. I'd like to ask about 2). You said:

you and feral hobo running a commune and splitting income STILL isnt communism, its just cojoined small business practice. communism requires socialist state to first exist, and it covers a broad political and economical system.

Okay, yeah. But "no it can't exist because the government isn't socialist" feels a bit boring. What if we tried to meet the game where it's at? Which is "Feelgood escapism where your grandfather leaves you a farm in your will and escape your crushing job at Corporate USAmerica and live on that farm in a little town full of simple hard work and community, a town that is almost, but not quite, outside of the grasping hands of the surrounding system".

We've established that SDV's depiction of this fantasy is not meaningfully anti-capitalist in any way, but is there a way to interpret that concept in a way that is meaningfully anti-capitalist without removing the core of this initial contrast/struggle?

Especially when realism isn't strictly speaking a constraint. If the game can get away with "You can become a millionaire overnight by selling turnips", I don't think "the town somehow exists with a totally different political organisation than the country it's in" is that egregious, because it's in keeping with the way the game's setting is kinda in a bubble.

Even if the answer is "no, of course not", or "sure, but only if we do something like how the farm is in a completely different country and the struggle against Jojo Corp is now the struggle against imperialism", I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. I'm not particularly attached to SDV, my enjoyment of it has never hinged on it being somehow "progressive". It's just the kind of conceptual game design challenge that tickles me.

How would you redesign SDV to be meaningfully anti-capitalist while trying to keep its core concept recognizable? Can it be done at all, even slightly? etc etc.

well i mean, the thing is that a little town cant exactly exist in its own political bubble, since socialism requires a large-scale operation.

well, while typing this i just remembered a pretty wholesome story on a small scale - and ive mentioned it before, vlak u snijegu by mato lovrak, and its such a pity it wasnt translated. it shows socialist ideals on a small scale, in a group of kids. ill try to make a summary post when i have time.

idk, personally i dont see a way to make an escapist cozy game anti-capitalist. and tbh, i dont even think its necessary for it to be, as long as it isnt marketed that way! socialism involves collectivism and work (well it is centered around workers isnt it) and i mean... that isnt exactly what we think of when we say "escapism fantasy". in those secret little fantasies we want to be privileged and not deal with injustice or corruption or whatever.

the closest to a socialist fantasy i can get is maljčiki by idoli (the song is a banger btw).

i mean, i dont know if that makes for like, an actually interesting cozy game. tbh when i am looking for guilty-escapism, i read p reactionary stuff; theyre just fantasies, after all. its nice to imagine myself as a noble lady from 18th century getting courted by 5 different rich men or whatever. i just think its important to realize the difference between fantasy and reality.

i mean, theres a reason were talking abt sdv here and not harvest moon. harvest moon was never marketed as anti-capitalist, its just a silly game of owning a farm and then like the goddess makes a girl fall in love with you blabla. nobodys exactly going around and saying how anticapitalistic it is.

9 and 10 for the s/i ask game! (asking for both the regular timeline and the au timeline! 👀) -gideongrovel

[Link to ask game!!]

Main Timeline

9. Who are your self insert’s closest friends?

Bun’s very closest friends are Ni.co Robin, Tony Tony Cho.pper, and her ✨~flashy~✨ bestie, Bu.ggy the Clown!

The friendship bewteen Silva and Robin has been explained in more depth HERE; but as a whole, they are cut from a very similar cloth. Just your average duo of morbidly curious history buffs who in time- found their respective reasons to live. ❤️‍🩹

Ch.opper is Bun's preferred doctor. He took care of her when she briefly traveled with the St.raw Hats. Bun was rather unwell after the Ala.basta incident, and her pets communicated to the reindeer that she needed help. As a result she adores the little guy [+bonus points in his favor that he's an animal]! They both look up to each other; Bun admires his dedication to his craft, and respects the fact that he is a talented medical professional, despite some of his more childish mannerisms. Ch.opper outright thinks that Silva is cool, if not something of a badass- he always carefully regards the life advice she provides him with. Tony is always happy to translate what Silva's pets say to her! Even a ways off into the future, Bun still goes to him for her significant medical needs; or sometimes Ch.opper makes the trip to her. The little guy may be the only person that Bun earnestly listens to when he scolds her to take better care of herself.

Bu.ggy and Bun were practically instant friends. They initially met when Bu.ggy made a trip to Ala.basta to search for THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE his on-agin-off-again partner, Jinx [@/mothlover69]. Bu.ggy quickly perceived Bun as a secret freak outcast, and Bun couldn't help but think he'd be a fascinating specimen to observe, er, a unique acquaintance to have! In any case, they got along decently well right off of the bat, so much so that Bu.ggy eagerly allowed Bun to live on his ship after she decided she didn't have the heart to keep traveling with the St.raw Hats. Actually, rumor has it that he just shot out his detached hands and scooped her + her pets onto the Big Top sometime before Lu.ffy's crew made it to Jaya!

It would be fair to say that B.uggy is a bad influence on her. It would also be fair to say that she’s as equally of a good influence on him. He’s learned how to be slightly better because of her. For example, the slack he cut for a frightened Transponder Snail at Mar.ineford was due in part to Bun’s impact. Most of the time Bun is the responsible one in their friendship, but in the event she’s not at her best, she has a tendency to feed into Bu.ggy’s nonsense. This was extremely evident when Bun was in a post-breakup[?] depression after Ala.basta, and Bu.ggy chose to enable all of Bun’s bad habits. What, what’s the harm in eating candy and cake for breakfast? Breakfast… three meals a day… HEY, he got her to eat, okay?! Psshh, he was only trying to comfort his friend! That’s what friends do, right? They cheer each other up? [Bless Jinx for rising up as the responsible adult in this specific situation!]

Bun respects Bu.ggy as her friend, but she also tends to call him out on his bullshit. [Nagging is one of her love languages!] Bu.ggy huffs at this tendency of hers, but deep down he knows that she wouldn’t do it if she didn’t really care about him. He very much enjoys the attention she gives him in any context. He furthermore appreciates her authenticity even though he doesn’t always know what to do with her… wholesomeness. Whereas Bun appreciates how she can ease up and laugh around him. In the future, Bun protects him from the wrath of her ill-tempered husbands.

Bu.ggy has been desperate to get his best bun to join his crew for a very long time. After she left with Cro.codile after the battle at Mar.ineford, he had a meltdown due the fact she was gone. [Actually he thought she was dead! They got separated during the battle and never regrouped. When Bun eventually came back a few weeks later to collect some of her belongings that were still on the ship, Bu.ggy legitimately thought he was being haunted by her ghost.] Though the two end up working within close proximity when Cross Gu.ild is formed, Bu.ggy still laments she still didn’t choose to join up with him. Listen, the guy is a better friend to her than most would think- however, that doesn’t mean that he still isn’t just a taaaad selfish. 🙄

Bu.ggy has since added some more pastels to his flashy wardrobe, while Bun can semi-frequently be seen wearing oddly clownish makeup [Bu.ggy uses her face as a canvas when she allows it].

[This answer really only included dynamics with canon characters but I simply must give shoutouts to @/mothlover69’s Jinx and @/jj-exe’s JJ!! They are also Bun’s beloved fwiends.]

10. How do the other characters feel about your self insert and f/o’s relationship?

Most folks are baffled as to why/how Bun and Cro.codile ended up together. They became even more confused when Mi.hawk also married Bun years down the line. Bun is very small and kind- her husbands seem like too harsh of people for somebody like her. [Little do they realize how ridiculously soft the are for bun-]

But given that the three seem outwardly content with their dynamic, the rest of the world can only assume that Bun is extremely powerful, having wrangled two former Warlords of the Sea and all! And that assumption is not wrong. uwu

Robin is glad for her friend. She saw Bun and Cro.codile together during their early days, and she knows firsthand how inseparable they are. Bu.ggy does NOT care for his business associates/his best bun's husbands. They eat up her TIME and ATTENTION!! >:o( And he also secretly worries that they're mean to her like how they are to him!! However, the flashy fool has nothing to worry about.

Somebody -> 🦩 may be not-so-secretly seething with jealousy about the relationship, but the details on that matter are better kept hush-hush.

Forbidden Fruit AU

9. Who are your self insert’s closest friends?

Why, Bun’s very best friend in this timeline is the good doctor, D.oc Q! Ca.tarina D.evon and Ku.zan are also quite close with her.

D.oc Q is her ride or die. They have that Horse Girl [or uh, Horse Boy in this case?] 🤝 Rabbit Girl connection. They are both chronically ill [ofc Doc's health issues are much more dire] and count on their prey animal pets to get by: he has his horse Stronger🐴 [mobility aid] and Silva has her lapin🐰 Stratus [ESA]. Doc has a way of knowing what's amiss with Bun before she even knows herself- he furthermore was able to pick up on some of her health issues that she didn't initially disclose to him. Bun assists him with his work when needed- D.oc Q has the MD degree and Bun has the bedside manner, lol. Though she mostly helps him take proper care of Stonger, which is something he is eternally grateful for.

It was Doc who first started referring to Silva as "lucky", which is a judgement that has stuck, though Bun denies it. Bun will sing with others, but Doc is the only person she will sing to. He insists that her low-toned warbles are soothing, that the sound helps him feel better when he's sick. The often have deep discussions about death and the fragility of life. If D.oc Q's mantra is "memento mori", then Bun-Bun Silva is soon to follow with a gentle "memento vivere".

When Ca.tarina Devon first joined the crew, Bun was ecstatic! Being surrounded by a bunch of men all the time was… a bit exhausting, so finally having a woman around was a nice change of pace. Of course, Devon is as rotten as the rest of them, but she found that she couldn’t possibly rain on Bun’s parade. Turns out it’s nice to have a platonic “gal pal” to share the AFAB experience with. They’re both LGBT+, they manifest ~queen~ energy together, and Devon continuously tries to teach Bun how to live the: Gaslight. Gatekeep. Girlboss 💅 way of life. However, Bun is a bit too kindhearted to really adapt that approach to herself. So Devon has to settle for engaging Bun in juicy gossip- which Bun is juuuuuust petty enough to indulge in. 💖💜💅✨

Ku.zan and Silva are alike in ways that set them apart from their other crew members. Both have a capacity for compromise and compassion. They are disenchanted with the World Government; they found they could seek their own freedom and fulfill their own needs by aligning themselves with Bla.ckbeard. Out of everyone else they’re the most socially acceptable out of the bunch. Ku.zan had his world turned on his head, which is a feeling of despair that Bun can relate to on a deep level. She’s always interested to hear what his life was like when he was a Marine, and she always chuckles bitterly when she relates to how his perspective was forced to change. Ku.zan enjoys her ability to match his dry humor- but the ice puns get a little repetitive. Overall they have a seemingly casual, yet actually rather close, friendship!

Oh! And Bun tends to give the latter two unwarranted relationship advice. "You know Devon, maybe you'd have a girlfriend if you didn't keep trying to behead every date you've landed since you've been a free woman! 💀 And Ku.zan! Please tell me you didn't try the 'big bazongas' cold opening on another poor woman again-"

10. How do the other characters feel about your self insert and f/o’s relationship?

The rest of the Bla.ckbeard Pirates wholly support Silva and La.ffitte as a couple! Their union was a product of destiny after all- the two were simply meant to be. None of them would ever deny that fact or attempt to get in the way of their relationship. They’re the crew’s resident lovebirds. [It helps that La.ffitte, in a terrifyingly cheerful manner, makes it clear to any potential newcomers he and his beloved wife are strictly exclusive… and any person who attempts to challenge that will be dealt with accordingly.]

… Though in the beginning, the crew were almost certain Bun would end up with D.oc Q, given how close they are. But it seems fate had other plans in store!

And as for the rest of the world; as for everyone that was close to Bun before she became involved with Te.ach's crew? They're very concerned. The Bun they knew would never associate with a person like that! Something must be wrong. Something must have gone horribly wrong.

... Sir Cr.ocodile is filled with so many regrets...

#yOOOOOOOOO I FINALLY FINISHED THIS!!#it has been rotting in my drafts for weeks!!#thank you so much for sending these asks! they really helped me think about and flesh out some more details in regards to both timelines--#also sorry for swapping bun/silva around so much-#ofc course there is a LOT MORE to be said but I think this will do for now- i probably rambled too much as it is.#[*George Lucas Voice*]: ''I may have gone too far in a few places...''#i adore all of these animated fools #S/I: Bun-Bun Silva #smoking sandman husband #sassy swordsman husband #whimsy rapscallion husband #we didn't start the fire #fairy floss friend #bothersome bug #thou shalt surely die #devon and ku.zan do not have tags as of now 😭#Forbidden Fruit AU

Hi....If you don't mind, can I ask, what are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....

Hi to you too!! I'm so sorry it took so long for me to work up the courage to answer your question since it's the first ask I ever receive. I couldn't rank my favourite things from 1 to 10 (it was already enough of a struggle for me to pick 10 pieces of media,,), so the order doesn't really mean anything. I'm also incredibly bad at describing anything as I can't for the love of me stick to the essence, but I hope I'll at least manage to satisfy your curiosity!

Mushishi by Yuki Urushibara (anime & manga).

This story holds such a special place in my heart! I adore its quiet eeriness and wholesome horrors, wistful, slow-burning interactions, its soft-spoken enigmatic teachings and the equivocal wisdom of its tender story-telling so much! It soothes the ache of living for me, if it makes sense. It speaks of how it's alright to just let yourself breathe and exist quietly and be still for a moment. Might as well say that Mushishi cured my mental illness single-handedly, lmao. Its folklore-like feeling is something very precious to me as well!!

Trigun by Yasuhiro Nightow (manga).

I can't even begin to put into words everything I love about this story. A hint of a post-apocalyptic vibe clinging to the wide dusty expenses of its world, a civilization hurled violently down from the peak of existence and into a life of struggle and mindless bloodshed, an ambitious past of space travel left behind, religious imagery woven into its symbolism, problems of morality and the question of what it takes to be human it tackles... I'm a sucker for all that!! And the architecture of the characters' motivations and psychology has me in a death grip, honestly.

Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami (anime & manga).

JJK is the newest addition to this list, but I guess it's taken deep root in my brain. I've come into this story for a bit of urban fantasy in a modern Japanese setting, and though my opinion on it on the whole hasn't solidified, I find so many aspects of it truly fascinating. For one, Gege's meticulously crafted power system, or how persistently the molds are broken in his writing, or how societal structures of the sorcerers' world play into the conflict, presenting an antagonistic force in the narrative in and out of themselves as restrictive and harmful patterns of behaviour that cultivate individual antagonism... I love this!

Every single one of John R. R. Tolkien's books.

It won't be a stretch to say that Tolkien's works have become a part of me to this point, and they are the biggest, life-long inspiration of mine. I'm infatuated with the world he created with such love and in such thorough detail in his books, with history as ancient as time, and languages dynamic and alive, and entire cultures blooming into prime and crumbling away, and the deep-rooted sorrow I feel but can't quite place of magic coming of age and leaving the world. These books have my entire heart.

Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books.

Just like with Tolkien's works, I literally grew up reading these books and remember feeling them rewiring my brain on every re-read, and throughout the years they have influenced me greatly. I adore Pratchett's sparkling humour and witty satire, how the cacophony of absurdities and light-hearted laughter still allows for, or maybe enables in the first place, a profound meaning. These stories have some of the most thought-provoking messages I've ever encountered as what they really want you to do is think, no more and no less.

The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater.

Hail to urban fantasy!! I adore the air of mysticism and eeriness enveloping each and every of these books. I love how this story treat magic like a wild animal, something elusive and breathtakingly beautiful and dangerous, snarling and threatening as you get close, something that won't belong to you even as you try to tame and understand it, something wonderful and ancient and inherent to the world, throbbing like pulse beneath the earth. Can you tell I love horror? The narrative follows a tightly-knit group of friends, and the relationship they share is so very dear to me!! Who wasn't just a little bit in love with their best friends, really?

Hadestown.

I love this musical with my whole heart!! Two of my all-time favourite myths (of Hades and Persephone and of Orpheus and Eurydice) are intertwined in the story it tells in such a clever and creative way that I really couldn't help but fall head over heels just for the premise of it. Even though this story is undoubtedly a tragedy, non-existent without the tale of loss it takes as its centerpiece, hope is at the heart of its entire meaning: to exist in the face of suffering and grief and somehow still keep singing.

Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, Critical Role.

This story is a masterpiece in how well it executes the trope of being doomed since the very beginning as it tells about the fate of a world lost to smoke and ruin for countless ages. Why bother creating a narrative bound to end in destruction and pain? Because some things can still remain unforgettable, even if no one will linger to remember them. The closing monologue of the DM (it's a dnd mini-series) will honestly haunt me forever.

Princess Mononoke.

For as long as I can remember since I watched this movie for the first time, I've always found it difficult, if not impossible, to tell which side of the conflict the story wants you to root for, but that is perhaps the point. Nature and life exist as something vast and overwhelming and vague, reaching far beyond the framework of our morals, of our petty ways of understanding existence in terms of 'good' or 'bad'. I love how this story conveys it in such a poignant, breathtakingly beautiful way.

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.

I love this short film so dearly!! It's so gentle and quietly soothing and soft-spoken and wise as only a children's book (which it's based upon) can be, and although there's not much happening on the screen, not really, I still cried my heart out while watching it. It told me things I really needed to hear, and the reassurances it offered were such an unexpected discovery that I still haven't fully recovered from the unrelenting kindness of it. The artwork is stunning, too, with its vast watercolour skies and inky lines and gently flowing, fluid motion. I can't possibly put into words how much I adore it!!

#thank you for asking!!#and sorry once again for how long the answer took #for some reason i feel really shy about this whole thing

Searching for a partner for a Medieval RP.

21 NB (he/they), looking for 18+ literate writers interested in a Medieval Fantasy rp, mxm OCs (my OC Lucien).

I have two plots that I’m interested in exploring: 1. The King allowed his son (Lucien) to be abused by his painting instructor growing up, all this rage builds up and explodes when Lucien tries to convict his instructor, but the King instead pardons the boy’s abuser during a set of public trials outside the castle. Lucien, a teenager and young Prince at the time, kills his father in front of everyone, unintentionally becoming King himself from then on. Despite exiling his abuser after the bloody trial, the then Prince, now King is seen as cruel and scary, not to be crossed even nearly ten years later. Meanwhile, a citizen with a sick sister is caught stealing medicine. Being on trial with King Lucien is scary enough, but medicine thieves in particular are known to be punished heavily, since the Princess, who is one of the only people thats kind to the prince-now-king, makes a majority of the medicine available. During a public trial, the thieve’s mother pleads for his life and Lucien realizes that the thief is someone he knew, that he had recognized those fearful eyes from somewhere else. He was amongst the crowd when he killed his own father. He spares the thief, and allows the best doctors to treat his ill sister. As long as he works directly for him in the castle until his debt is repaid.

2. It is tradition for the royal family to keep their children within the gates of the castle and away from the public eye until they are grown enough to handle it. The Princess was introduced to society at the age of 13, but every year the reveal of their younger and troubled son (Lucien) his delayed for various vague reasons. Everyone is both eager and suspicious, which doesn’t help matters. This is when the royal parents essentially give up when the boy turns 21, allowing him out with no announcement to the public. While practically frolicking through the flowery fields, enjoying the feeling of the grass and the new sights, he has a love-at-first-sight moment with another boy (your character). This is just an ordinary boy from a hard working family, and since the Prince was never revealed, he has no idea the boy he’s immediately smitten with is the Prince everyone is eagerly awaiting to meet. That is until he finds out, obviously.

Let me know if you’d like me to send you Lucien’s bio. I’m finishing it up so eventually I'm going to post it separately and have it linked to this post.

About Me:

- Lo, 21 NB (he/they)

- I’m taking a break from college and have a part time job with varying hours, but I should be able to get in a few responses a day at least. I prefer partners that can at least give a response a day, but if you communicate with me about your schedule and/or pace we can make things work!

- I love really anything; Smut, fluff, slowburn, angst, wholesome/lighthearted, dark. I don’t have many triggers or limits, but I’d still like us to discuss any we have before we start. Please always talk to me before throwing a sudden dark twist. Communication is key!

What I’m Looking For:

- I prefer a minimum of a paragraph for a response, but preferably a few (3rd person, unless I agree otherwise).

- I would love to get to know you outside of rping! I don’t have many friends, and I enjoy getting even the most random of texts. Go ahead and send me fanart, fanfic recs, playlists, edits, and other random thoughts, feelings or things! Pet pictures too pls.

- No ghosting please! We’re both adults, if we don’t like something we can talk it out or say that we no longer are interested.

- I’m willing to dabble both with fandoms and OCs. I love world building and AUs.

- I don’t feel comfortable with rping with minors in general, but most of my rps have at least NSFW undertones/themes at some point. I do like smut, especially paired with angst and certain dynamics, but if that isn’t your thing we can always keep it limited or fade to black.

Feel free to like this post or dm me if interested, we can add each other on discord!

Because I’m a sucker for the bad boy/class clown/troublemaker character utterly suffering, I am once again thinking about Sirius Black and his infinite whump potential. Everyone loves to make Remus suffer, myself included ofc, I’m not one to pass up a werewolf opportunity but something about Sirius is just *chef’s kiss*.

(tw: mention of familial abuse, physical and emotional, as well as alcohol)

I think it’s the fact that the canon information we have about him leaves so much room for the mind to wander. I imagine him at Grimmauld Place in the summer, either getting injured in altercations at home, likely with his mother, and taking the floo as an escape to James’ or Remus’. Especially if he goes to Moony, chances are he’d be embarrassed and ashamed to be in such a vulnerable state, and Remus would reassure him that after all the full moons he helped him get through he was happy to return the favour.

I imagine him showing up absolutely pissed, unsure of how to cope with his situation in a more productive way than drinking. I think about him falling ill at home, but he’s not fucking going to his mum about it, and Kreacher isn’t the most helpful, so he has to sheepishly enlist a friend to help him. Maybe he brushes it off to the point that they’ve got to make a stop at St. Mungo’s.

I imagine the time where James has finally had enough and wants him to move in, but they need to get some of his belongings from Grimmauld Place before the move, and they go on a stealth mission to sneak in and out of the house undetected. I want Remus to join them and fall even more in love with Sirius when he sees his bedroom, with hot muggle girls plastered to the wall, gryffindor garb strewn proudly about the place both to stick it to his family but also to try to feel at home in that place.

I want to see Sirius both craving intimacy and closeness but being guarded and unable to relax at first. Being touch starved for his childhood makes it difficult but there is still a deep longing to have comfort of being near someone. Perhaps spending time as Padfoot helps with him overcoming this.

All of these issues would be so compounded post Azkaban, and new ones would surely arise. I want a more in depth perspective of trying to navigate his emotions after being stuck in that place. I want to see how he manages on the run and in hiding after his body was ravaged in prison. I want Remus’ heart to break when he sees what his friend has been reduced to, and for Sirius to be crushed with guilt and responsibility that Remus had to go through all those moons completely and utterly alone, believing to have been betrayed by his closest friend which resulted in the seeming demise of his other two.

I want him to feel lost in the world, lacking an identity, being snatched away at such a young age, and being both emotionally stunted and feeling exceedingly old and weathered at the same time. I want him to be fragile, physically and mentally, susceptible to injury and illness, especially sleeping in caves and eating rats. I want all of the angst and the pain and the comfort and the wholesomeness that could come with properly exploring his character’s story.

If Harry Potter squicks you out now (valid, fuck Joanne) replace these characters with your favs, anywho, damn I do love taking the hollow bones the canon gives us and filling it out with my own thoughts

these anons are so annoying, it also frustrates me because tyrelliot is nowhere near as bad as some ships that came from this show (like people who shipped elliot and mr robot) and yet some self righteous people compare the two like it's even remotely the same thing. sorry to mention that people who shipped elliot and mr robot even existed but god I really don't understand why people conflate it with tyrelliot. mr robot is the alter that elliot developed because of his sexual abuse growing up, and tyrell is an evil guy who was in love with him. I wish people would direct their attention elsewhere when there are much worse things being written in this fandom. feel free to not share this btw, it's reasonable to not want to make any posts where people might start arguing about mr robot x elliot. just wanted to share my thoughts. TLDR, tyrelliot shouldn't be argued about as being problematic when there are much worse popular ships in this fandom, and your fics are really good

adding more to my message from before sorry; also don't think that I mean anybody deserves harassment, I'm just saying that when there are actual upsetting and distasteful fics about elliot being abused, you of all people definitely don't deserve harassment under the guise of being upset that you write fic about "Elliot and his abuser" when those fics absolutely exist and you do not write them. anyway have a good night

thanks for your input. im pretty much a live and let live sort of person with this, since the internet makes it pretty easy to just block out anything you dont want to see, and i wish other people did the same. i honestly dont think tyrelliot is bad like... AT ALL LMFAO. but i guess some people do, which is fine. i just dont see the point in messaging me about it numerous times a week for over a month lol. thats just so weird and corny to me

but yeah like in the end my issue with this whole thing is that separating ships into morally and objectively "good" vs "bad" leads to this atomization of intent and characterization where 1) the definition of what is "bad" becomes a slippery slope where anything can become "problematic" and 2) it promotes and uplifts pairings or situations where everything is perfect and conflict doesnt exist-- the antithesis of good/interesting writing. like i have literally no interest whatsoever in "good representation" or "wholesome ships" because thats frankly not what i watch tv or read books for lol. it will never be my thing. also i am just SO FUCKING BORED of rating art based off of whether it lives up to someones (very subjective!) ideas of morality. like can we PLEASEEEEE talk about something else

also, i know what that person is trying to do when they call me a proshipper. everybody knows that that word is synonymous with being a pedo these days lmfao, given that thats central to the idea of pro vs anti shipping (besides incest). i think its pretty wild to insinuate im like... aligned with pedophiles in any way given that if you read my fics you would know i have a whole chapter dedicated to tyrell and elliot MURDERING A PEDOPHILE lol.

i could go on and on about how this very lazy way of thinking thats currently dominating fanspaces is the result of neoliberal identity politics, or consumption as morals, or the capitalist drive to increase both social division and profit by making people identify with brands, groups, or media properties. i wont be an annoying marxist rn and get into all that, but ill say im pretty much in agreement with john paul brammer here:

Hey!! You don't know me, I followed you recently because I flipped through your DHMIS posts and your love for the horrible worm eagle fascinates me. I can see the appeal of a pathetic wet excuse of a man who has mental illness for days, being a selfshipper and having blorbos like that myself, so I respect what you're doing. I may have made bullying him one of my preferred hobbies but there's something rather wholesome about how much you guys love this diseased messed up creature (/lh) And in general I just like to see fellow selfshippers having fun on my dash so!! Yeah!! Hope you're having a nice day :3

aw hey there kind anon!! this is a very pleasant ask indeed - thank you so much for taking the time to message, as it's always lovely to hear from other selfshippers 🥰💖 hahaha, that makes me feel really nice! thank you for enjoying my completely unhinged interest in Warren, and i can only apologise for any of the other insane obsessions you'll see on here in the future 😉 i'm intrigued by which blorbos you have who fit into this category! 👀 as i've expounded a couple of times before, Warren was an inevitability - and i'm quite reassured by how many others are also open about enjoying him now (although in those first couple of weeks i received death threats, hate anons, and plentiful 'what the FUCK why do you like him!!! 🤢' responses;;;;). the second he showed up and began his dreadful, invasive, completely inappropriate intervention of Yellow Guy's life, i knew he was going to occupy my thoughts for a while. don't worry about bullying him, he deserves it 😂 i just hope more people will loosen up a bit, and realise liking a silly, terrible character like Warren doesn't mean i or anyone else wants to enable his behaviour in real life!! what a strange take to have in the first place 😅 d'aww thank you so much sweetheart!! i hope you are having a lovely day yourself, and that you get to have fun with all of your wonderful f/os (who, of course, adore you 🥰). feel free to pop in and gush about whoever you like, it's always really fun to see! and, if i may suggest...sometimes it's that initial fascination with a character in a 'how could anyone like them?' sort of way that belies a later love. maybe you're a Warren fan, waiting in the eagle wings 😉

#just kidding dsfgfds but i do hope you're doing well :3c #starleskasks

honorhearted asked : For Lydia: willow, sunflower For Hewlett: tulip, violet For Rogers: snapdragon, southernwood

Botanical Headcanons. / @honorhearted -- accepting

Lydia: willow : how does your muse handle sadness & depression ?

I think I may have talked about this before but no such post is coming up for this topic? Okay, so, Lydia doesn’t entirely put herself into a new project right away, but that’s the end goal most of the time. She sits with it, talks it out, and it sometimes depends on what is making her sad that’ll direct her actions, and then she does something about it. She doesn’t like to be stationary with her sadness, she doesn’t like to think about it or experience it, to listen to pity, and to be reminded of it. She doesn’t ignore it but she tries to keep it at bay.

I think that was one of the most influential reasons why she decided to get herself involved in the spy ring. She thought she was going to be a simple camp follower, and she sorta is anyway when intelligence isn’t coming in, but she instead got pulled into the spy ring. She wanted to do something about her sadness and she knew Laurence wouldn’t want her to spend the rest of her life being sad over his death, so she wanted to make him proud. Eventually, her drive and motivation to participate in the Patriot effort shifts a bit as she makes friends, enemies, connections, y’know all of the canon t.urn events that come into play, but it will always have a connection to Laurence in some way.

So, basically, she will usually speak with her mother about it for comfort and then to her dad for extra support but also some more guidance, but in camp, I think she would keep a journal and write about it. She may have a few friends in the camp that she would speak to about it, but she doesn’t wish to add any stress to anyone else, so she takes it into her own hands. It’s her sadness, it’s her duty to do something with it, and she instead uses it for “fuel” in a way for her next action. Whatever that action is, it depends, but usually, it’s for distraction and progress.

Lydia: sunflower : what brings your muse the most joy in life ?

It’s so cheesy and cliche but Lydia is already wanting me to write love, just in the general sense. Not only just a partner, a family member, or a friend, but to have that wholesome presence. With the war, it’s easy to focus on pain, so the little moments of love and hope give her the most joy. But other than that, I would say projects that she sees through. When she completes a goal. That can get her motivation up than dwell on the negativity.

Hewlett: tulip : how does your muse view people in general ?

For this, I’m going to have to speak about two different parts in the t.urn timeline because s1 & s2 Hewlett sees people differently from later s3 Hewlett & s4.

Hewlett is gullible, we can see it with all of the events that go on in the first season alone. Hewlett sees the British Army as the “good” guys and views them with rose-tinted glasses. He doesn’t expect any ill will from his peers and believes most of them are honorable people, or the people under his command are and he holds high expectations for them, maybe too high of an expectation over anyone. He sees them as having a similar, or exact, moral code as he does and from the get-go, expects that they all are good-natured in a gullible way. He doesn’t see how any of his men would wish to manipulate him and the “troubled” ones can be talked into shape. He thinks he can shape the men under his command. He sees the townspeople of Setauket that are Patriotic like little kids who need to learn a lesson, to put it simply. He thinks they can be easily dealt with and they are just toying with childish notions and a misunderstanding of their circumstances. Can’t they see why a country under British rule is good?

In s3 & s4, Hewlett sees the nasty underbelly of his own group. His whole capture, Simcoe’s whole “Speedrun on how to make everyone in Setauket hate me” in s3, and Andre’s whole dismissal of Hewlett and undermining of him. All of this shows him that the world isn’t black and white. He believes in his cause, but he doesn’t like the corruption within it, he can see both sides of the war as bad, so that’s where it sort of leads him to work with Abe in those seasons (other than their mutual hatred of Simcoe anyway). He still doesn’t believe in the Patriot cause and as the British side is losing, he’s sort of like “Let them have the colonies, I need to figure out what I want” and doesn’t care so much about “reprimanding” people as he does in the earlier seasons. He’s tried to change people and it hasn’t worked out for him. His expectations are lower in s4 (and almost to a comedic sense of “Well I’ve seen people do worse than that”). I think in some regard he still holds high expectations but tbh for t.urn characters, I think the writers did a better job with Hewlett’s development. It felt realistic and interesting, but then, too, I’m not sure how much Burn had a say in it or if it was all up to the writers. They also had an almost fresh slate with Hewlett’s character with some historical influences of the real-life figure and a combination of some other historical figures, so it was easier for his development.

Hewlett: violet : how does your muse respond to betrayal ?

We can kinda see this with the whole failed marriage between Anna & Hewlett, but generally, he doesn’t take it well. It will be worse if it’s someone he trusts, but any act of betrayal is taken personally. I think Hewlett puts almost too much of himself into his authority, it molds him, he doesn’t see it so much as a job and a duty but as something personal he has to do. Probably a lot of it has to do with his motivation to join the British Army and the war because of his parent’s financial downfall and how he wishes to do good for his own parents.

So, Hewlett may be in disbelief at first, but not long after he will be mad and really observe his past memories with whoever betrayed him. This only adds to his anger. He will be angry at himself for not seeing it earlier (again, his high expectations) and for the other person to stoop so low to result in betrayal. This is more s1 & s2, a little bit of s3 as well, but by s4 he is sadly more used to it by that point. He will be annoyed that he didn’t see it, but he will be less angry overall and more of an “Oh well, that’s another one for the pile.” It’ll just serve his more negative view of people. He still holds onto hope, but I think the Hewlett we see in s1 & in s4 are very different in terms of their mindset. Weirdly in a way, his negative mindset motivates him to be the good in the world.

Rogers: snapdragon : is your muse merciful ? why or why not ?

I want to say no, but he is merciful in a way. Rogers has the least amount of moral code within my muses, but he does hold a moral code (even if it’s slim). He won’t harm children, and while he will usually be less violent with women than he is with men, he will attack or kill a woman if need be. But children? No, he couldn’t. Generally, I don’t think he could and after being around Thomas, even if he didn’t talk to him much, it stuck in his mind and in his moral code. I can’t think of why specifically, but it’s probably because of the whole innocence of children and children usually have fewer ill intentions than adults do. He hasn’t experienced a child that wanted to betray, belittle, or harm him, so they are off his list. I think a lot of his moral code is built by experience. He has seen violence in men and women, adults, but never in children so far.

Rogers: southernwood : how seriously does your muse take themself ? do they prefer a solemn & intellectual atmosphere or do they delight in jokes & banter ?

I think I answered something similar to this? It seems familiar yet I can’t find anything in my posts about it, but he much prefers jokes and banter. He doesn’t mind deep, serious, even philosophical, conversation, but too much of that can become boring.

I think Rogers takes himself seriously to some degree. He has an ego and he hates to hear any semblance of an insult towards him, but he will make fun of himself. It’s a rare moment, he doesn’t like introspection so much (as he likes to do that with other people), but he will admit to a flaw. Sort of like the scene where Rogers was going into all the people that wronged him and his purpose for working with Abe, and when Abe asks him what he was talking about, he doesn’t seem annoyed that Abe wasn’t listening and laughs. (Probably because it’s better if Abe doesn’t know anyway). That sort of thing and admitting something that isn’t that big of a deal to him is easier. He’ll admit that he has anger problems and a drinking problem, but he won’t admit that he’s getting old and that his loyalty is only to himself because it doesn’t suit his ego. It’s a very hypocritical answer, but I think it’s also a complex one.

So both I guess? It depends who it is with, but usually, I would say he likes jokes and banter more.

Big mentally ill moment but I just want Juwon to absolutely fucking spiral and end up having an attempt post canon, I want Dongsik and manyang finding out about it and visit him in hospital, of course Dongsik doesn't leave, of course Hyuk finds out and also doesn't leave, of course those two bond over how much they love Juwon and what the fuck do we supposed to do now?

I want Dongsik taking him to the lake house, I want Juwon to stay there for the longest time until he starts to heal both physically and mentally. I just want a really fucked up long fic that ends up being domestic wholesome and healing.

Trying to heal vicariously through Juwon...so he has to suffer first I'm so sorry Juwon.

as someone who has written a single fic in this very specific kind of area . . . yeah. yeah. yeah. the urge to heal vicariously through a fictional character (except that means the fictional character must suffer) is definitely A Thing.

and you know what. i also feel like the really interesting (and somewhat sad) part about joo won's character is that he has a very obsessive personality in that once he puts his mind to something, it's pretty much impossible to draw him out of it. so it seems very likely to me that joo won would be someone who would have one thought and just run with it into the worst of places, and i can also very much so imagine joo won being surprised when he realizes that oh shit, there's a lot more people around him than he thought there would be.

(which is sad too because oh, joo won . . . )

and also. yeah. just the mental image of joo won being taken away and like. being at a place where things just slowly melt back into the background like for the love of god bby don't wake up at 4 am to bike and don't stay up all night figuring out x and eat your fucking soup and also maybe lean on your loved ones because there are actual loved ones out there.

so hm . . . anon i think you came to the right person because these kinds of "it's going to get worse before it gets a lot better" def. appeal to me!

Crossover Crackships I ship based solely on obscure merch!

Anna x Mayor Lionheart

So, I reblogged this serendipitous gift of a crackship a while ago and promised myself to make a moodboard or a collage out of it, but I totally forgot. I recently rediscovered this when I was going through the “Anna” tag on my blog and decided to actually go retweet this hilarious post on my Twitter.

When I retweeted the post, I saw that someone actually drew fan art of it in the comments and called it their OTP. And in that moment, I knew that I was prepared to ship them harder than ever before. lol

A tale as old as time~

LINK TO TWEET - I got a Beauty and the Beast gift from my mom that she put together herself!

Tinker Bell x Stitch

So, I found this random Tumblr post of someone sharing their Phantom Manor pins, and I found something particularly interesting about them. The pins have cast Tinker Bell as Melanie Ravenswood, the bride of Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris, and Stitch as Jake the Foreman, Melanie's ill-fated fiancé. And yes, the pins also have Stitch cast as the Phantom, aka Henry Ravenswood Melanie's cruel father (but we're going to ignore that part).

The thing that got me hooked was the pin where Tinker Bell and Stitch are sitting together, arms linked, on a picnic date. I know, call me “weird” or whatever you'd like, but I thought it was really cute and wholesome for some reason, despite knowing what actually happens to Melanie and Jake on that picnic date.

Here are the best photos I could find of the Phantom Manor stretching portraits for more clarity and context.

youtube

I would like to end this by saying that Stitch seems to have a thing for Disney ladies, so could you blame me? Don't believe me? Check out this video in the link above, clearly showing Stitch wolf-whistling at Belle and flirting with Jasmine.

Catechetical Cat (Week XX) Protest

I really only love God as much as I love as much as I love the person I love the least.

Dorothy Day

There was a family in my hometown who beguiled me. When I came back to town to be a Youth Minister the first two of their five children were coming up through faith formation. As one of four my mom joked she had enough kids for a farm, but this family actually had a farm. They themselves, largely without the help of hired laborers, maintained at least six acres of vegetable crops plus a healthy compliment of pigs and poultry. Though I grew up in a fairly rural place to actually encounter peers who were farmers was enough of an oddity to be mocked growing up. At least one of their children ended up needing homeschooling because of the bullying. But in the handful of times I was blessed enough to work with them on their land I experienced something idyllic. It was hard, sweaty work but the kids were happy out there as long as they were hydrated, and the nature of the work seemed to make one better for having done it. I’ve have had fewer more wholesome experiences to this day. Before I left town again this family would see their parents battle illness, unemployment, and the challenges of being a small, family farm in a country where factory farming is increasingly the norm.

Why do bad things happen to good people? To imagine divine punishment as a tic-for-tac reprisal system seems absurd once you consider how many wonderful people suffer horrific challenges. If one believes in a loving God it becomes simply impossible to believe that all suffering is punishment for prior sins. The mystery of evil is far and away the least fun of the constellation of mysteries that compose faith in a loving God. Of all such mysteries it is probably the one that folks who try their hand at theology have the least answers for. Every committed deist like myself has a couple of conversational answers like “evil as simply a deprivation” or the cliched to death “good comes from all things”. But the more difficult proposal to get across over a meal or through a blog post is “invitation to protest”. In other words: the evils and sufferings we face are invitations to break free of our bubbles of preconceived schemas of thought to get right up in God’s face and ask why. Yes, it is a virtuous thing to protest God sometimes.

When we see or experience suffering it calls us to action. We human beings rarely resign ourselves to torment, we rise up to face the causes of our troubles. Almost all political and economic change historically can be somehow tied to one group deciding their plight was too much. On a more subtle level suffering often results from humans forgetting the needs of other humans: for example when commodity prices fell precipitously in the Great Depression several governments subsidized the growing of crops they then had burned. I’ll let you google if that solution ended that downturn. We have to build a better world by protesting the one in front of us. It’s how change begins to germinate. On a more personal level, in spite of what a superfluously pious person may have told you, there is great spiritual good to come from protesting to God. Healthy dissent is a more fruitful starting point for growth than you might realize. Don’t be afraid to protest to God, you might find more faith than you expected there.
