I loved Midnight Meetings. You absolutely nailed all of the character's voices, and all of their interactions were perfectly in character and very entertaining.
Scar and Mumbo both trying to claim they're normal and average guys, and Grian thinking about how humans don't have tails when he is a (former) human with wings. Idiots unite. I am so fond of them.
Very curious what Bdubs might have had to say on the matter of Mumbo's claim to Boatem...
I also remain curious about Mumbo's shadow magic and why he has it as a Turned. I keep thinking back to that one line about Mumbo wondering if he made a deal with a higher power. I suspect I am barking up the wrong tree, but I have managed to convince myself it is somehow linked to the connection between the Watchers, the Void, and the Boatem hole.
Laughing at all of the vampires being like "Scar doesn't live here? Tubbo is leaving??? How do you live like this Mumbo???"
"I wanna bring some stuff back for Etho and the others" made me laugh. I realise Bdubs probably meant the rest of the coven by "the others" but for a second I did go "how big is this polycule???"
*Looks at the whole repressed memory thing* I'm sure this will be fine and isn't foreshadowing that something terrible will happen where they urgently need to locate Blondie's coven *sweats nervously*
And Xisuma! "(Makes you wonder how powerful he is, if he's a Lord with that personality.)" Grian thinks, and I have to agree.
On that note, would you be willing to share some more details about void beasts? It sounds very cool.
Thank you so much <3 I try so hard to find their voices and hkfgkjgkfd I'm glad I'm succeeding to some degree <3 Thank you so much~
They're totally normal aren't they, the half-human Fae prince with way too much magic for his own health and the Vampire who was a Duke, a Governor, a Mayor and a Doctor who also has way too strong magic for his status? Totally normal. Okay but to be fair, Grian's definition of "human" is rather different from the Vampires' and Elf's definition. When they say "human" they mean humans and humanoid hybrids. When Grian says "human" he means just humans and not the hybrids....... for now. :) But yes they're all idiots I love them <3
BDubs just like "haha not my business!" He has no claim on Boatem after all, so <3
Mhmhmhmm yes I do wonder about Mumbo's shadow magic.... it is interesting isn't it that he's now getting involved in Watcher stuff isn't it.... hehe :)
A mate and child living away from the Coven House (manor, in this case) is absolutely unheard of for them <3 They just like "Mumbo what the fuck" hjfdskjfdkj
Oh no, you should absolutely be asking yourself how big is this polycule, bc um
Tumblr media
Yeah Cleo and BDubs have a really big polycule <3 (the orange lines are future relationships tho- they haven't met those characters yet <3) But yes BDubs was talking about the rest of the coven lol <3
Oh nooo I'm suuuure the repressed memory thing isn't gonna come back up at the literal worst moment it possibly could, I'm sure it's all gonna be fiiiiine~
Look I am looking forward to having these Vampires go wild. Like you think Mumbo is strong right now but so far he's fought Vampires who are corrupted and/or have way too much hubris, but- well. Cleo and Xisuma 👀👀 Especially Xisuma 👀
Hmmmm Void Beasts? Well, in Midnight at least (bc Void Beasts are a thing in other MC fanfics if I am remembering correctly) a Void Beast is a creature of legend that is born and lives in the Void (which is, ofc, a central point of many of the religions of the world in Midnight), the only mortal creature that can survive there alongside the gods. Void Beasts themselves can't breathe oxygen, being evolved specifically for the Void. Xisuma can breathe oxygen, since he's a humanoid hybrid, but it's not the most comfortable thing for him which is why he wears his mask. Only a handful of people have seen him without the mask, as he only takes it off to feed. As for what Void Beasts look like- well. Hm :) I wonder about that heheh

Imagine: Elena and Elijah have a one-year-old daughter named Kayla ( a witch had turned Elijah human for this to happen ).
June 29th, 2011
Who's child ," Damon asked as he stare at the little girl .
Her name is Kayla. Elena is babysitting her until her parents come back from their trip," Stefan said with a smile as he hands a toy to her.
How old is she ," Damon asked ?
She is one," Stefan smiled as he tickled the baby.
I'm going to get stuff for the dinner tonight with both Elijah and Klaus," Damon smirked before he speeds away.
Damon isn't going like that you are a Mikaelson. Or You are Elena and Elijah's daughter but we won't tell him until tonight," Stefan said with a grin as he bounced Kayla on his knees.
Who's child, " Klaus asked with a smirk.
Her name is Kayla. Elena is babysitting her remember ," Stefan said with a smirked.
Oh yeah," Klaus said with a smirk.
She reminds me of someone," Damon asked as he looked at Kayla's dark eyes.
She does have her father's eyes," Klaus glanced at Elijah with a smirk.
Can I see her," Elijah asked with a sly grin?
Let's see. If you want to go to the bad original," Damon said with a smirk as he takes Kayla from Stefan.
Damon," Stefan warned.
Kayla reaches her little hands out towards Elijah.
See. She wants him so now give her to him," Stefan said.
Here. I don't understand why she wants the original so bad ," Damon mumbled as he hands over Kayla to him.
Elijah is her father thought ," Stefan thought .
Hi Miss Kayla," Elijah said as he smiled down at her as she plays with his tie.
She looked up at him with her dark eyes the same as his.
Weird.You are letting a baby play with your suit tie that your suites mean the world to you ," Damon asked as he shakes his head.
It's fine Damon. Kayla isn't hurting it so let her do what she wants," Elijah said as he smirked at him.
What the hell," Damon mumbled.
Watch your language salvatore," Elijah said as he glared at him.
Damon looked at him.
Both Stefan and Klaus glanced at Damon's face before they let out a chuckle .
There was knocked on the door that caught their attention.
That must be Elena come to get Kayla," Stefan said before he opens the door.
Stefan," Elena said with a sly smile as she walks inside .
Elena ," Stefan smiled.
Where is Kayla at," Elena asked as she looked around for her.
Elijah has her in the dining room," Stefan said with a grin.
Mama ,” Kayla giggles as she reaches out towards Elena.
Hi baby girl,” Elena said with a smile as she takes her from Elijah.
Mama. Why did she call you mama ,” Damon asked confused ?
Elena bites her lips as she looked at Elijah.
I think that we should tell damon ,” Stefan said with a grin.
Elena glanced at Elijah with a nodded .
Tell me what,” Damon asked confused?
Kayla is Mine and Elena’s daughter ,” Elijah said with a sly grin.
What. Please tell me that you are joking,” Damon asked as his anger grew.
We aren't joking damon. Kayla’s fulled name is. Kayla Hope Mikaelson,” Elena said with a smile.
You let an original knock you up ,” Damon asked ?
Yeah, I did. I'm glad that I did bc I won't have Kayla would I, “ Elena snapped.
Damon looked at her before he got up from the table .
Walk away like a baby like you always do damon. You are one hundred and seventy-second years old when are you going to grow up damon,” Elena sighs.

About your personal post - people without depression can say weird and disheartening things about it because they don't understand, so when I was at my worst, I ended up talking instead to people I didn't know (like free helplines) because then if they said something unhelpful/upsetting, I didn't take it so personally and it didn't undermine a relationship. I could get the stuff off my chest, then when I felt a bit better, could then go back to communicating with people I actually knew. I don't know if this might be helpful but it definitely was to me, because people can accidentally be so awful without meaning to. That said, please do reach out for help in some form - things will improve even if it doesn't feel like it now. Sending you all the best <3
(i privated the personal vent post so this looks out of context but)
thank you for this really sincere and kind response anon :'))
mhmm. i think what helped ground me now, i guess, was the reminder that they're still trying to help me and their perspective is no more or less important than my own. and that they're not an evil or bad person (hence they aren't setting out to hurt me on purpose) and neither am i for disagreeing. if we have the same goal of helping me, the power to redirect or reroute advice is as much as in my hands as it with the other person. i think i made myself too passive of an object (something being done to me, as opposed to a subject, doing something in the world) and i was too caught up in the quagmire of my own mind about how i feel about being an object, the emotional politics of things and their role in this mental warfare ive somehow concocted, rather than if i had just switched gears to become a subject. is this explanation easy to follow? hopefully it does!! sjdhskdhskfjdkfk the way my mind works is not very easy to explain or understand because i am constantly very meta about my thoughts and it creates complications that i have to take time to unravel, so i decided to go for levity (kinda, i can never be quite as concise as normal people).
with that outta the way though, what you said did give me pause and i thought was really insightful, thank you! i think one of the reasons i found it difficult to disagree with them is because we have a history or connection of some kind that allows for misunderstanding to flower really easily, and because humans personalise everything, its not easy to be a detached, easy going person who is both balancing taking me seriously + being kind and understanding with no serious lines about where it should end bc of nebulosity (and that leads to feeling impatient and exhausted acting against your natural disposition or instinct. which is what i also felt i was the victim of, so to subject someone else to that situation would be hypocritical of me and so i know its not the right perspective i should latch to).
that kinda went into multiple strands of thoughts ajdhskdj but the bottom line is, yeah! i agree with your advice, its very helpful. i often feel fearful of going to talk to people who i know will agree and or understand my stance, because i am always very wary of behaviours that lead to false honesty for myself. false honesty as in... i can say whatever i want and it'll technically be the truth, but its not an accurate summation of reality or what actually happened, and so i always feel wary about confiding in people with just my side of the story because i worry about my influence on other people's biases that would lead them to agree with me, and i don't like being right on the sole fact that i was convincing enough (simply by virtue of being confident or emotionally charged and firm in my interpretation of reality / the situation). i think ill have to strike a balance between finding the appropriate and relevant amount of context to solicit advice, but also not too much perspective that i get muddled with ideas that are not my own and get confused on what are my feelings and what aren't. and also!! i guess!! i just need to have (temporary, but fruitful) trust in whoever im talking to that they are a person with their own life experiences that inform their judgement, and not everything hinges on me being completely unbiased (bc its an impossible bar to reach even at the best of times) and that they have their own reasonings that remain unaffected by how i speak. if there's a gap in information, they can ask it, and i can volunteer it, and there doesn't need to be me overexplaining everything at the same time with multiple parantheses and caveats jwhksjdkd its something im prone to doing.
now that im more clear-headed, i can see how both ways of asking advice can have pros and cons. asking advice from someone i don't know relies on the universality of "common sense" and social instincts/principles of what is appropriate and inappropriate and it can help to simplify the matter to the essential thing at the center most point, and it can help me figure out if i'm overcomplicating things by thinking too much about accommodating personality quirks and letting the wrong thing slide / personalising it too much w my own perspective. it risks oversimplifying a lot of things, but it also can be grounding with reminding me if a situation can / SHOULD be as straightforward as it looks, and all that.
whereas asking advice from someone i do know, its a lot more personal because that person probably knows things about me i don't or they know things about me that i overlook or disown / dismiss that they think are noteworthy. whether or not they're valid points of concern is another topic, but the point is, contextualising things and advice so that it is something that i will most likely follow / need to hear for me specifically is important because it gives more basis as to where they're coming from, bc they're not saying stuff blindly. although, yeah, they can be pretty hurtful when they come from or are delivered badly because i feel like. "why are you saying this to me knowingly!! why are you hurting my feelings on purpose!! don't you know i don't like that!!" and there's a higher standard i have for people i know / have a close connection to because its tangled in a lot of history. the same goes the other way around, i also find it difficult to disagree on a purely logical perspective of "i don't agree with what you're saying about this" and its hard for them to not feel like they're being dismissed or to not take it personally, especially if they were passionate about being helpful.
i guess it's just the balancing act we have to do, so there's no other way to do it than to do it, even if badly. its ... tiring and daunting realising the potential each individual has to cause hurt, but i just have to trust that the world will spin as it always does, and i have to spin along with it, albeit imperfectly and clumsily.
once again, thank you for going out of your way to send a kind message when i was in the Depths of it, i truly appreciate it. seeing your message in my inbox made me weepy when i saw it, i felt very touched. squeezes you, i hope you have a wonderful week ahead of you, friend 💛🐢

I can confirm, they introduced themselves as 3 readers and they made a post how Bee is leaving and starting their own channel. They even made a post to support it and linked the blog, that's how I knew of the Bee drama. But yknow whatever. But they shouldn't demonize those poor future apouses lmao, it's not gonna be them, or any of us.
Warning very long, I got carried away my bad lol
But the drama on tumblr is kinda mild conpared to Youtube "readers". At least the readers here on tumblr try to hide the fact, that they're describing themselves very well but yoooooooo.... Youtube readers are a different breed. Most of them are super young (12-13, but there are a handful of readers old enough to fucking know better) and just straight up describe themselves with no shame. I even found some who put pics of themselves lmao. Me and my friends like to go through readings and bet, who is describing themselves as a spouse. There is one reader who has over 30+ vids on Mrs. J, and most readings are like over 20 mins long. How much is there to know about a person, that doesn't exist yet??? But most YT readers are obssessed with the fact, that Mrs. J is from India, what a coincidence that the reader is also from India lmao. I'm not saying BTS wouldn't ever date someone from that country, I'm saying it's impossible to get a specific country, age, height, religion etc from tarot cards. The pics on the cards might give you clues and the cards can say that the person is different from you, but they go into way too much detail. And it's funny because they're always soooo specific for Jungkook and V, but for the other ones....crickets🦗 On one hand it's so sad bc you have these little girls, putting out their private info, looks and secrets for the whole world to see (these vids have thousands of views) and they don't really grasp the consequences of their actions bc yknow, their just children. The internet never forgets. But on the other hand, you have these grown women who, like I said, should know better than these little girls. Not only do they get so defensive if you don't 100% allign with what they said, they are borderline so obsessed of the idea of being a spouse. Like tf??? Bts aren't Gods. They're very attractive celebs, who's purpose is to entertain people with their contents and music (hence the word idol & entertainer), while they do feed into that perfect bf material scheme, it's up to the fan to not actually develop real romantic feelings (a celeb crush and being a stan is something very different). Most are actually fans for very superficial reasons, they just find them attractive, not the music. And if you take the glitz and glamour of fame and money away, Bts are regular human beings, with flaws and issues. Like. The. Rest. Of. Us. They only show you the best side of them, because it's part of the whole idol package. We truly do not know these people, no matter how sincere or authentic they appear on camera. Like so so many were suprised that they wanted to disband a few years ago, bc they couldn't handle the pressure. These readers always believe if they meet/marry them, their life is going to be better and they feel alive again or smth. Most of these readers actually need therapy, I don't mean that in a condescending way. They imagine that their spouse, a celeb they've never met, will be their sole reason for their happiness and only then they are able to fix their issues and unhappiness. That reeks of co-dependency. And even if they'd become couple and be public, then what? A really big big chunk of Armys are actually in love with Bts, no matter if they even know tarot or not (Armys usually claim that only 2% of the fandom are delulus but that's definetly not true🥴). You'd get send d*eath threats, be harrassed, get doxxed, be hated for all eternity, even if you'd decided to break up. Look what happend with Jk and the tattoo artist he only hugged. She lost her job bc Armys were reporting her, some were trashing her workplace, she got threats, her friends got harassed and doxxed and she lost a friend (Jk). Not only that, but people would legit stalk you and try to hurt you, if you were a romatic partner of Bts. Then you also have the tarot side, who'd try to curse youa nd paint you as the evil demon, who is toxic to member xyz. And I don't think you'd want to spend your entire life locked in your house. And I personally could never deal with like millions of haters, no matter how hot my partner is.
Yoooo! i search again in yt and watch a couple of videos... these are kids for go sake🥺🥺 where are their parents and why they let them public private infoooo?!? internet and children isnt the best combination...
and yess, theres also grown up women and thats really creepy, u can understand that children might do that cause they are young, BUT WHEN U ARE OLD ENOUGH, U SHOULD ACT BETTER!! and i insist, they just trying to prove to themselves and to the world that they are worth it to be with a celebrity, like yeah of course u are worthy, like any of us, but this is not the way u know? its weird, i dont think its sane at all, they just are using the cards to feel better, and thats bs. and if it is just a cope mecanism, plz work on yourself, get help, life its better when u are in a healthy place
also its interesting about mrs being from india and most of all the videos i watch where from indian armys, tarot doesnt work like that, yeah u can feel the energy that its different, perhaps different culture and think that maybe it could be a foreing, but the cards will never tell you something that specific, less if u dont even know in person the people you are reading for
we dont know them at all, and people put them in a such high pedestal just for being famous and hot, so i really have trouble to think that some tarot readers can pick their real energy, im a very intuitive person, but i need to be in the presence of the person to feel their real energy, so to be so specific in a reading they need to energise the cards with the energy of the person, they need to at least shuffle the cards and connect with the reader, sooo thats why i only see these reads as enterteiment, and its bad for the community to claim that we can see ALL of about them.
i'll never forgive the people who threaten the tattoo artist, poor girl, and thats why the guys cant have healthiest relationship, let them have a LIFE

👀 you have chosen...
4) my criticisms of janus's line in svs
so the full quote is: "courts and laws are some of the higher powers in society. and society is made of lies. society itself is a lie." [...] "you get enough people to share a piece of land and breathe the same air and, you've got a society. why? it's just a bunch of people in the same people in the same area. it's an abstract concept as real as the monster under your bed. but we obey these rules, or get punished for breaking them. all in the name of society. it's absurd and terrifying." [...] "i don't want thomas to be disadvantaged in a world where you can die for not following the laws made in the name of a lie."
okay so that's a few lines lmao, but mainly it's the last line that really gets to me.
and to be fair, this one i don't have as much to say about bc forming my thoughts around why i dislike it so much is difficult, but i'll do my best.
like i know virgil makes fun of him right after, and then a little later, i think thomas and logan exchange some words about having these laws and rules are important for a functioning society, but simply pointing it out doesn't really do much. bc he's already said what he wanted to say--he's already communicated what he's wanted to communicate
and i just vehemently disagree with everything he's said. it just irks me to listen to it
bc yeah, societies are constructs. so are most things. language is fake. we're making a bunch of random noises that we've given meaning to, to be able to communicate to each other. why were we so desperate to communicate with each other? bc humans are social creatures. we're built on the bedrock of cooperation. our brains, our genes, are hardwired to seek out and find people to live and grow with. most namely bc it helps our species survive, but the consequences of being social creatures are things like shared languages and societies with (mostly) shared rules and laws
it's not to say that societies aren't flawed bc they most certainly are. social norms are also extremely and very flawed, and it's important to talk about and discuss them critically.
but we're able to do that bc we decided this string of random noises (and lines if you're writing) meant something. it's a construct, but it's not fake. it's not a lie. it's real and it's wonderful. we were so desperate to connect with our fellow humans, we created
i suppose, as i write this out, part of why it irks me so much that he would call society a lie is due in part of him equating constructs with lies. and it very much feels a lot like how social media has misused the terms trigger, and gaslighting, and love bombing (among others) that they've been made into jokes, rather than taken as serious issues people encounter.
and while little white lies aren't serious, per se, lying per its usual definition can cause great harm when done with malice. it can lead into something like gaslighting, in the very extreme cases. and it's frustrating to me that he would write into his show that something so amazing as creation to be a lie just because it's a construct.
most things are constructs. that doesn't mean they don't exist.
hope that makes sense!

we're in the endgame now, adventurer...
1) my concerns for the writer's room bc of specific segments in the five year anniversary episode
2) my criticisms of c!thomas's (and presumably thomas's) view on empathy
3) my criticisms of thomas's pof/svs:r video, specifically focusing on the mentions of charity
4) my criticisms of janus's line in svs
I don't really have anything to add to this. Idk if I agree or disagree w/ u (more on that in a second), but this is a rlly interesting perspective.
I'm really struggling to elaborate. We are BOTH struggling 2 elaborate on our opinions, hand in unlovable hand (/lyr) or whatever. Because I do somewhat agree with Janus, but mostly because it sounds more like he's criticising hierarchies, not necessarily society (he does say society). To me, it sounds like he's criticising the government and people in power and laws, which involved society. Which, I, as an anarchist disabled black queer, also do not the governement or people in power or people who make laws, etc etc. And, as you brought up, certain societal norms are not that great.
Of course, I do like the concept of society. I am all about community! I agree with your point about how it is beautiful that humans have created connections and such, etc etc.
I just do not necessarily disagree with Janus, especially because of the last sentence. I think it's important to think critically about the laws and rules out government is making. Gay marriage used to be illegal, while slavery is still legal, it's just in another name (cough cough. Prisons. Cough cough.) People used to be killed for being queer, because it was against the law. There are disabled people losing their benefits by marrying people, because it is legal for that to happen.
While I don't think society is a "lie" I do think it's important to criticise it often. I, too, do not want to live in a world like that.
ALSO. I would argue lying, in its usual definition, is not always bad and that white lies aren't the only "good" lie. Lying about being queer or lying on job resumes or to your boss aren't bad things, but they also arent little white lies. Lying is very, very complex & there's a million reasons someone would lie. Yes, it can become something like gaslighting (which is awful), but lying isn't necessarily a bad thing.
(I am a proud supporter of liars.)
But, yea, ur point is completely right. Calling constructs "lies" is lowkey kind of weird, especially calling society a lie?? Like I understand what he was going for and trying to explain, but it was just... really bad? I talk about how bad Thomas is at writing but like... he's really bad.... the entirety of LNTAO where Logan feels like hes coerced the entire episode, or POF where he the talk abt empathy is highkey ableist, or Logan's arc. Etc etc wtc. There's lots if examples but those are the 1sthat pop in2 my head as of rn.
IDK BUT YEA !!! UR RIGHT . VERY WEIRD ?
Oh man! This last choice is SUPER hard. .... which 1 do i pick!??!! /j /s I THINK OUR OPINIONS ABT THIS WILL B THE SAME.

about the quotes (about not existing when others aren't around) post: reminds me of the thng about if a tree falls, and no one's around, does it ever really crash or even make a sound.
*waving through a window plays*
yeah. yeah. im. i guess that's something we (as in humans) like to consider, huh? existence. and just the world and where we fit into it.
"i only know how to exist when im wanted" i was talking to the wonderful @/silveredviolets about this earlier but like. something about knowing how to exist when you know people want you to exist with them in that space and moment. like if i dont know im wanted somewhere, im closed off. im conscious of the space i take up ill apologize for talking or hold my tongue ill try not to bump into people ill try not to take up too much space, literally and in terms of just personality and letting all of myself be present, because i don't know if the people i'm around would be comfortable if i let myself exist. when im comfortable with someone, when i know they love me and everything my existence encompasses? im so much less reserved. im so much more comfortable with just letting myself exist in my entirety, or as close to it as possible
"like any unloved thing i dont know if im real when im not being touched" no bc. touch is such a big thing for me it is how i show affection it is just. i love you so i will hug you and hold your hand and put my arm around you and put my head on your shoulder and nudge you and it is me saying, hey. youre here in this moment with me and i am happy because of that. i want you to feel loved. i want you to know that i love you. i dont rly know exactly why this quote makes me feel like it does but my goodness thats. </3333
"theres a theory that says you dont exist unless someone calls and you respond" bringing it back to your tree falling quote. do you know waving through a window from dear evan hansen? that quotes referenced a lot in the song and musical as a whole actually. theres a part in waving through a window that goes "When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around / Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound? / Did I even make a sound? / It's like I never made a sound / Will I ever make a sound?" and im Feeling That here. like yes. youre right its definitely. that phrase. and i think thats just a very human thing to wonder. am i here, am i real, am i worth something if there's not someone who wants to call out to me or someone who will respond, or at least hear, when i call out to them? and will there be someone to call out to me, is there already someone i just cant hear or dont realize im hearing? am i real, am i here, am i allowed to be here, is there someone who can give me an answer by calling out to the part of me that's not all that here yet and letting it fully exist? metaphorically speaking i mean.
i have no clue if that made any sense and im not proofreading but. yeah. thoughts <3 youre very right anon
