#Ellie's is freedom

[nerdpoe]

Danny has an Ice Core.

He isn't aware of it, but this does, in fact, greatly influence how his ghost form looks as he grows up.

His appearance starts getting more rugged, eyes a paler, more piercing green, hair a bit more uncontrollable and wild.

He packs muscle easily, even in human form.

When in ghost form, he has an aura of something patient and dangerous, and that sense only grows the older he gets.

Basically, our boy starts to look like a viking.

No matter how goofy and bumbling he really is, his first impression is always a horrifying moment for whoever is meeting him.

And as his ghost form grows with his human form, he outgrows his hazmat outfit. Frostbite and the Far Frozen fashion him some new clothes-which only compliment and play off of the viking aesthetic he's got going on.

And with the height he inherited from his father?

Our man is a very, very intimidating figure to look at. More so than Dan; because while Dan was dangerous and scary, he was all energy and lightning and rage.

Adult Danny comes across as lethal and terrifying, all ice and persistence and that final, terrible silence before you realize you've already died.

Dan felt like the warrior in front of you. Danny feels like the wilderness in winter, vast and unforgiving.

Anyways, when a summoning for Klarion goes horribly wrong and Danny gets called instead, the Justice League has a moment where they're convinced they've summoned something much, much worse than Klarion.

And Danny, standing there completely confused, is not helping by remaining silent and still while staring John Constantine in the eye.

Good news, the bad guys are also very concerned about the weird ghost viking and are actually moving to stand side by side with the Justice League on this.

Bad news, who the fuck is this guy?

"...Fuck," is all Constantine whispers, backing away slowly.

#dcxdp #dpxdc #dc x dp #dp x dc #and yes i love this idea #that a core helps shape how a ghost looks like as they mature #Dan's was lightning and vengeance #so he grew up to embody that #Ellie's is freedom #so she starts looking more and more like a pirate #Danny's is ice #so he does this #it gets to the point where no one believes he and Ellie are related #like yeah y'all look alike sort of but also #there's no way in hell #anyways immediately after this Danny ruins his image by sheepishly asking where he is #almost exact same body language as a flustered Clark #and Bruce is just like #“ah. this is a Clark situation-looks intimidating but tries desperately not to be rude” #story prompt #basically if every time Danny went ghost #the witcher soundtrack was going off in the background #and its freaking people out #and he's just like “hey wanna see me make a skateboard out of solid ice”

[Image ID: A drawing of Freedom a skinny, orange and green dragon from Wings of Fire. She is standing with one foot slightly raised with her head down and looking slightly up in anger. Her body is bright orange with dark orange stripes. She has an olive green stripe down her back and onto her head. This color also fades into all of her legs/feet . Her claws are a light grey-yellow. She has olive green half folded wings with dark olive green stripes at the ends. Her back has neon green triangular leaf-like spines. Her tail ends in a neon green leaf like fin. Her mouth is half open showing white teeth and a pale pink tongue. She has bright green eyes with a neon green slit in her pupil and dark orange spikes above her eyes. She is using green magic to grow a small plant and asking "Are you sure we can't kill everyone?" The word 'kill' is written in red and looks like it is written in blood. The background is pale green. /.End ID]

I did my favorite protag, so have my favorite antag (minus Scarlet of course because she's just the best character lol). I don't consider Freedom a 'villain' in the same way Scarlet, Darkstalker, and Blister are. Freedom definitely has done crummy stuff, but she's just an angsty child and went through a lot of trauma. She's obsessed with murder and killing and death and destruction. I love her.

This is how I imagine she looked in the mind-space where the majority of the third half of book 15 took place (not my fave thing but it was aight). She's a combo of like Rain, Leaf, Sky, and maybe some others. I saw one person call her an AncientWing and I live that. I will draw her creep/cool decomposing body with the plant too. That I wanta put a lot of time into.

So I think of Dan and Ellie as Vlad and Danny's children, we know this

Dan is literally a fusion of both their ectoplasm, and Ellie, despite being probably a clone, was still raised around Vlad and his ectoplasm, which I think would have affected her.

So I think their cores should reflect that:

Wind core for Ellie, as wind can be cooling, but can also carry gusts of heat. She is ultimately her own individual, only slightly influenced. It is wild and untamed and free like she is and it can chill and it can warm and it can comfort and reassure, yet also be brutal and wild and rip and tear and rend all that blocks it's path.

Water core for Dan, melted ice, a representation of what caused his birth. An Ocean, a Tsunami. Tears, mourning, grief. Constant and unrelenting and inevitable like the tides, sometimes seeming calm and still, but this stillness is but an act to hide the brutal, crashing, fatal waves that will soon follow. A sudden, striking, forceful anger and grief that sweeps in and destroys mercilessly, unknowingly, without bias or care, going where nature wills it, and though it can stop and recede just as swiftly, it sometimes merely slows, lingering and receding, and at times never really leaving.

Ice core for Danny, cold and harsh yet all the more reassuring and safe for it. The cold of an ice fortress or igloo, protecting those within it and keeping in the warmth. The cold of an ice pack on a nasty bruise, the chill as you watch the anger of someone else standing up and protecting you and knowing only your enemies will face it, the cold of a snow day, the carefree enjoyment of childhood, unburdened, knowing that the snow has no wish to harm you, but instead bring joy. The ice of protection of safety, just as sharp and cold and cutting, but only to it's enemies, those who do not see the love and joy in it.

Fire core for Vlad, the ever-burning embers of a wood fire, something that must be kept feed, lest it die out and leave one to freeze. The fire that cannot die, cannot rest, can burn down to embers, but must never be extinguished, for fear of the cold that will creep in and kill, for fear of the longer time one will starve for it, for fear of the darkness and the enemies within and the inherent uncertainty of the unknown, for fear. The simmering embers of everlasting devotion, the crackling warmth of the hearth that heats the home and heart, the shared light of companionship.

Basically, I'm saying that Ellie has a wind core as her obsession is freedom, Dan has a water core, and his obsession has something to do with his intense grief, if that grief is not in itself his obsession, Danny, has an ice core and a protection obsession in this case, while Vlad has a fire core and an obsession concerning love and companionship, but it's become mutated and twisted by his fear.

some of my favorite earthsea quotes:

• “The dance is always danced above the hollow place, above the terrible abyss.”

• “I think there’s an evil in us, in humankind. Trust denies it. Leaps across it. Leaps the chasm.”

• “Only one thing in the world can resist an evil-hearted man. And that is another man. In our shame is our glory. Only our spirit, which is capable of evil, is capable of overcoming it.”

• “Endurance may outlast hope.”

• “If all but us are slaves, what’s our freedom worth?”

• “You have set us both free. Alone, no one wins freedom.”

• “Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one.”

• “The world’s vast and strange, Hara, but no vaster and no stranger than our minds are.”

and the more spoiler-y passages under the cut:

• “Ged had neither lost nor won but, naming the shadow of his death with his own name, had made himself whole: a man: who, knowing his whole true self, cannot be used or possessed by any power other than himself, and whose life therefore is lived for life’s sake and never in the service of ruin, or pain, or hatred, or the dark.”

• “When I die, I can breathe back the breath that made me live. I can give back to the world all that I didn’t do. All that I might have been and couldn’t be. All the choices I didn’t make. All the things I lost and spent and wasted. I can give them back to the world. To the lives that haven’t been lived yet. That will be my gift back to the world that gave me the life I did live, the love I loved, the breath I breathed.”

#oh my beloved fantasy novel series #i just wanted to share one quote but then i kept going through my notes and finding more!!! #it’s fun to compile different ones to find patterns like omg these are from all over the series #otak in the far distant history of tales of earthsea: what is freedom if we are not all free? #ged to tenar years later in the tombs of atuan: in freeing you (and you freeing me) we have both become free #me when the themes are themeing… #earthsea #stfu ellie

#pureo compulsion example as identified by Robert Bray, MD:

dissecting a past situation seen as unfavourable to catch patterns from multiple angles in order to ensure it won’t happen again. *to be differentiated from learning from past happenings in retrospect. a compulsion distinguishes itself through over-fixation as well as rooted core-fear.

my experience with this:

i dissected a particular mess i got myself into from hundreds of angles almost daily after i got myself out of it. i thought that if i dissected it hard enough, i could catch all of the giveaway signs and would ensure that i would never, ever put myself in that dynamic again – and protect myself. not only was it stressful to follow this thread, but it only stuck me into dead ends and loops of thinking which morphed into other loops of thinking.

breaking down the compulsion:

what is the rooted core-fear? that i will be in pain again.

what is the irrational belief behind this compulsion? that there can ever be a certainty.

disputing through REBT: there is no certainty that any situation would repeat itself with the same patterns and giveaway signs. life is too complex. yes, i might get hurt again. yes, i might end up in that dynamic again. yes, i might have to pull myself out of that dynamic again. it might not be pleasant.

i accept the uncertainty of that and the possibility (probability) of pain.

truly, i despise what they did to ellie past hellblazer #83 and i despise the way they wrote constantine treating her, so we are rewriting that shit at top speed.

first of all, there was no trickery or manipulation involved in her sleeping with constantine. girlie is too smart for all that and john respects her enough not to do that shit. they made a deal, she re-demonizes his blood in exchange for him setting up a secure place for her to hide from the first of the fallen on earth, they had sex, they went on their merry ways.

^ this also means there was no reason for her to ruin his relationship with dani, but i like the notion that pomeroy found ellie's hiding spot, she thought john betrayed her, and working with pomeroy + setting john up to look bad with dani was her intended revenge. (only for it to completely backfire, because she didn't know john could negate the sigil hiding her from hell at any time. which was still a cold fucking move on his part, mind.) so it was a misunderstanding, but they were still pissed at each other over it.

she still got caught and trapped back in hell by the first of the fallen, but she managed to convince triskele of her loyalty when she chose to tell them of nergal's plans (hellblazer #210) so the first could crash the party and fuck constantine over — mind you, she didn't know that was his intention when she did this — and as a reward, she was allowed to go back to earth again as an agent of hell. (albeit under intense scrutiny.)

these days she's kind of an information broker alongside her regular succubus duties, gathering damning secrets and passing them around the occult community to whoever can offer her the best price. secretly, she's plotting to break the leash hell's got her on and escape again, but as far as she knows, constantine is the only one willing to risk pissing off the first of the fallen by hiding her (again) and they're still not speaking. so she's workshopping options and biding her time.

#OOC. #ELLIE HC. ( cure me of myself. ) #i love love loooove ellie i think she's so cool #she just wants to be free and live her life but she knows how the game is played. she has to fight to survive #she was robbed of Everything she held dear - tali. her child. her agency. her freedom - and she didn't deserve that shit #in this house we adore chantinelle hellblazer and do not solely use her to further the main guy's narrative mmkay #ma'am tricked and ripped the heart out of the motherfuckin archangel gabriel show her some RESPECT #sched.

People often say with pride, 'I'm not interested in politics.' They might as well say, 'I'm not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my rights, my freedoms, my future or any future.' ...If we mean to keep any control over our world and lives, we must be interested in politics.

even though ellie is immune, we see in the mall that infected still attack her and we know that they will rip people apart in an attempt to spread. a vaccine wouldn’t kill the existing infected or stop them from attacking. ellie would never be able to make a decision without the fireflies manipulating her into thinking she was selfish and killing people and turning her against joel by making her think the same about him and maybe even that she’s just a replacement for sarah. not to mention they would just use a vaccine as the ultimate trading tool to topple fedra and become the new world leaders which is what they really want. they were going to kill a little girl without telling her she was going to die on the off chance her brain could produce a cure. joel did the right thing

#im coming at this from a show only perspective but from what i know this should apply to the game as well #i saw someone say theres no difference between what they were going to do to ellie and olden days people throwing a virgin into a volcano #to appease the gods and bring rain #and hell if that isnt spot on #this isnt a walking dead situation where they just have to outlast the zombies the infected arent going anywhere #we are told over and over theres no possibility for a cure #and thats coming from two experts in the field decades apart #so you cant even say well people in 2003 knew more than the guy in the sixties #a regular surgeon wouldnt know more than him or the doctor from indonesia #even if they did theyre still people and its made very clear how evil people are #theyre not some benevolent force #they call themselves freedom fighters all they want but what they want is control #we see in riely how they start their propaganda and how it buts up against fedras #but its still propaganda #otherwise riely wouldnt hesitate to explain everything to ellie #even if she believes its better than fedra its clear she doesnt necessarily believe its right #when ellie finds the bomb all she says is that theyd never use them mear HER not near civilians #this is my second day in a fucking car man #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #the last of us #tlou series #tlou #ellie tlou #joel miller #pedro pascal #bella ramsey

the formula of REBT, coined by Dr. Albert Ellis in the 1950s, is based on the work of ancient philosophers such as Marcus Aurelius. (sidenote, i'm just getting into Marcus Aurelius, and, ah, his words are gems!). i discovered it through the recommendation of OCD expert Robert Bray. out of all techniques of rewiring cognitive patterns i've used, it has proved most efficient in deconstructing pure o so far!

known as the A-B-C-D-E-F model, its premise is: most of the distress we experience is unnecessary suffering which arises from holding onto irrational beliefs. (i think this differentiates REBT from other action-orientated techniques of therapy, as it doesn't promise to end suffering, but to instead dilute unnecessary suffering). it provides you this model to identify the irrational belief, dispute it, replace it & process.

let's take an example in which i applied REBT!

situation: i want to have an experience by attending a specific event.

adversity: a thought arises; i want it, but what if i am not good enough for it?

belief: if i have this thought, there must be some truth to it. perhaps * i * should not go for it and protect myself from the possibility of rejection.

consequence: my chest contracts, i experience distress & there is the possibility of not going for what i want.

disputation: both the thought of not being good enough and the judgment of the thought as particularly meaningful are irrational beliefs. being "good enough" is a volatile concept which only exists in an even more volatile & subjective scale of comparison that cannot be quantified in reality. a thought is a cognitive process which arises from conditioning and from what we consume and have consumed on a daily basis over years with a degree of randomness; a thought is not a fact which has any inherent meaning other than that which i assign to it. if i have to label or judge my thoughts, per Ellis, it would be more rational to judge them as "effective" or "ineffective" (to one's goal - more on this later).

effective new belief: thoughts and doubt have arisen and i can choose to remain undisturbed by either.

new feelings: relief. self-assurance. there is nothing wrong.
