Places to visit (cultural & historic sites, food, etc.) in Napoli as a tourist?

Hi, Anon 💙 First of all I hope the City treats you right and you have a good time here. I don't know how many days you'll have at your disposal, but if you can spare one (since it's huge and it's not Naples exactly), obviously consider visiting Pompeii. Cultural sites: Cappella di Sansevero, home of Cristo Velato and the National Museum for sure. Around the City there are a bunch of Churches all free and all worth seeing (Duomo, Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo, Chiesa di Santa Patrizia, Chiesa di Santa Chiara*, Basilica Reale in Piazza del Plebiscito, right in front of the Royal Residence). If you're into catacombs, there's Cimitero delle Fontanelle that's worth a visit. All the Castles (Maschio Angioino, Castel dell'Ovo) and the Royal Residence are also open and pretty cheap. If you want a real immersion into the "culture", go to Spaccanapoli and San Gregorio Armeno (the infamous road with all the nativity statues/scenes shops). As for food: pizza obviously. Pizza here is good pretty much everywhere, but if you want to do best one in Naples go to Michele (the pizzeria in "Eat, Pray, Love") (if that one is too crowded as it happens, tourists also favour Sorbillo, there are a few ones around the City). You'll have to taste "pizza al portafoglio" or "pizza fritta" (fried calzone). And consider getting a coffee and a pastry (maybe sfogliatella) at Leopoldo or ice-cream at Mennella (best ice-cream ever). Napoli is huge and the entire historic centre is UNESCO heritage, so there's a lot to see. *this one has a "chiostro" that's beautiful, but you need a ticket. The church itself is always open to visit instead.

#ask #Anonymous #if you find your way on the seaside (going down from Piazza del Plebiscito) and you see a bunch of tiny boats #ask for Pacioccone #he'll take you to Castel dell'Ovo via the sea with his tiny boat #for really cheap (5€) #and it's a nice activity to do ^^

#persona 3 #persona 3 spoilers #minato arisato #makoto yuki #ryoji mochizuki #aigis #ryomina #lizzy does art #HELLO EVERYONE!!! march 5th is upon us again so i bring... my contribution for this year. my third year drawing for it! #i made the thumbnail for this a few weeks after last year's graduation day #i thought it would be fun to lean into the ryominaigis angle of graduation day (you could read this as minato/aigis if you like- #but i feel like most people would read it as ryoji/minato) #IN ANY CASE working on this made me very emotional over this game :') (specifically minato) #i really enjoy how p3 ends it's such a nice way of wrapping up the narrative's messages and themes #working on this. minato's kindness was at the forefront of my mind throughout the piece #and i really wanted to capture how. ultimately it was his decision to sacrifice himself- to do the great seal #while to an outsider's perspective it is. sad that minato passes. i think becoming the seal is something that minato- #actively welcomes. in the same way that death (ryoji) is a comfort to him because death was housed in him for Ten YearsTM #AND I ALSO GOT REALLY SAD OVER AIGIS TOO. i still get fucked up over how in fes's animated cutscene for 3/5 they portray- #her as human and not drawing the robot parts so i wanted to do something smilar here... #but also i am very sad on aigis's behalf because she discovers her humanity through minato and realizes what she- #wants to do and then. well. minato is like. he's ready to pass on (even if he's scared) and im like. OH MY GOD THIS TRIO GETS ME MESSED UP #this was more coherent in my head LOL BUT ough i like drawing p3 and working through my feelings about it... #anyway! happy (in quotations) march 5th. i love this game to bits. it's so fun to draw for this day every year and see how i've improved #if you've read all this thank you :) lizzy appreciates you all very much. mwah! <3

Hey, gentle recognition for the people who are taking care of themselves in "not aesthetically-pleasing" ways. To the people who have to do things they don't want to because they know they would suffer more if they didn't, to the people who have to brush their teeth with their fingers, to the people who have to use washcloths to bathe, to the people who need to punch pillows or scream into them to express their intense emotions, to anybody ashamed about the way they need to live and take care of themselves.

You are doing the very best you can with the hand you've been dealt. It's not easy, it's not pretty, but it sure as fuck takes so much to do these things. You are doing what is best for yourself, and I, for one, think you deserve to be proud of that. Self-care isn't easy. It isn't pretty, often, but it's something you shouldn't be ashamed of or hide away because it's deemed "grotesque" or "not really self-care (because self-care is pretty and non-threatening to 'normal peoples' senses)"

#mental health #mental health support #self care #like when i was still in school i would end up forcing myself to go because i knew i would feel worse if i hadn't... #...and i don't think people get how difficult that is. it isn't like you choose to be difficult when you struggle #and feeling ashamed about doing these things only makes the situation worse for them (the person struggling) #something i've just been thinking about #i hate this idea that self-care *only* looks like the 'healthy' person's treat days... #...like lighting candles around your bathtub and putting rose petals in the water... #...because that isn't the only aspect to taking care of yourself. sometimes it looks like forcing yourself to bathe and grieving... #...and using rough washcloths because you can't stand the feeling of your own skin and you can't stand how dirty you feel... #...and obviously i'm not saying that mentally ill people doing self-care is the only way it looks... #...but that it really doesn't help us when self-care is almost made into a 'non-threatening' activity that is pleasant and nice-looking #and of course the examples i used in this post were examples and aren't the end-all-be-all

everyone say congratulations to the first time homeowners!

#is this anything? idk if this is anything but i made it anyway #i wanna write the misadventures of the eepies in their haunted house. #i feel like ii is the ghosts' favorite. while they might mess with the others they are actively helpful to him #like if someone doesn't close the door all the way it'll just slowly click shut so he doesn't have to get up #iii is very jealous that the ghosts like ii so much. #he holds seances at least once a week (despite vessel's many protests) basically just like 'why don't u like me🥺' #iv tries to win over the ghosts by doing nice things for them #if you've seen the show ghosts on cbs i imagine him being a little like jay lololol #leaving the tv on for them to watch or cooking something so they can smell it #(they still love ii the most) #vessel is definitely at least a LITTLE BIT of a medium so to him the haunted house just feels really crowded #though sometimes he'll listen in on their conversations when he's bored #so it's not uncommon for him to suddenly laugh in the middle of a silent room #(the others definitely aren't jealous at all) #anyways if you read all that and would want to read more lmk because i WILL write it #sleep token #worshitposting #sleep token memes #sleep token vessel #sleep token ii #sleep token iii #sleep token iv #em's worshitposting

I think the craziest bit of "quirk" in the bsd fandom is that anti shippers are so hell bent on calling skk fans delusional that they are actively trying to claim a very real, very canon dynamic doesn't exist. They are so aggressively trying to claim shippers are delusional that they keep insisting that any plot relevance Dazai and Chuuya's canonical "unbreakable trust and greatest partnership" has is not actually there. They get mad when people say chuuya might come rescue Dazai when it has infact happened in the past, they get mad when people point out skk have some history, they get mad when people mention skk as a team up.

"Why you skk shippers gotta make everything about skk?"

Maybe because Chuuya is currently in meursault and shot Dazai in the head after Fyodor said the skk bond is shallow and Dazai invoked their joint fate to get him to snap out and we have all seen their dead apple Snow White bullshit???

#we have reached the stage where we need to hold the audience's face and tell them in a low stern voice exactly what everyone is thinking #or else they'll be too stupid to pick up on subtext #and if you show them two contrasting scenarios #for instance Dazai dancing with a guy he met 5 minutes ago while actively manipulating him but saying something nice #vs dazai saying mean stuff to chuuya while doing nice things for Chuuya subtly #they'll only pick up on words #maybe because fans have become far too literal off late #its the death of subtext #soukoku #vent

genuinely appreciate the fact that i still study w physical textbooks and use sticky notes. the neuro clinic i'm interning at uses binders for patients and also uses paper for initial data entry and idk holding an actual pen and flipping through actual pages is so healing to me

#granted it's been a year?? i think even longer? #since i switched to an ipad #and it has been super efficient and just makes sense #but i can never let go of actual paper. sometimes i even do active recall in a random physical notebook for fun #my orgo lab assigns a notebook to each lab worker too so it's nice writing in there #i don't think i can fully go physical like my ipad was such a game changer #but this hybrid style is doing it for me and makes me retain info best i think

Feel free to ignore you've probably got a lot going on right now, but considering you know a lot about DOTC and Clear sky, I had a question...

We know that he's a terrible, misogynistic, woman beating and war mongering lunatic who was excused of all his actions because his equally misogynistic brother said " But-But he's nice! Deep down! This isn't the real him! "

But! In a world where the Hunters could write such a character, what do you think Clear Sky would look like as an actual sympathetic villain?

Idk if that makes sense, but what I've thought of doing is taking purely cannon Clear Sky and attempting to change him enough that he's still an antagonist, but not too far where only Reddit defends him.

I don't think he works as a sympathetic villain, on any level, ever. I think you're making a huge mistake to even try, and I have never seen an AU where it was done well nor am I interested in entertaining the thought.

Characters. Are. Tools. They exist to tell a story. The story that people tell me, by obsessing over some alternate universe where he was "ACTUALLY sympathetic and had a REAL redemption arc," is that they're not fucking interested in his dozens of victims. Nor do they actually care about the abusive impact he had on the minds and feelings of his family. They're JUST interested in Clear Sky himself.

Just like the Erins. Everything that happens in DOTC revolves around him. Everything. All his wives die so he can be sad about it. His brother defends all of his actions and BEGS you to sympathize with his pain so he can be 'redeemable.' One Eye comes out of nowhere so that there can be an example of "real" evil to contrast Clear Sky so he's less bad in hindsight.

The first three books of DOTC are bad, but the last three are fucking insufferable because SUDDENLY all that Gray Wing apologia pays off, and they take their main villain and throw him out a window. You CAN'T have "redeemable" Clear Sky and the plot of DOTC without dragging in someone else to drive the conflict, to BE the bigger threat to "unite" against. Slash and One Eye have to be conjured up out of thin air so Clear Sky can WHINE about how people only suck his toes instead of deepthroat them after he killed all their friends.

And yet, in spite of this absolute failure of an attempt, we continue to see this bullshit "redemption" be a mistake because Clear Sky is a fantastic villain, with major antagonist roles in nearly EVERY bit of follow-up material for DOTC that came after.

He's the most consistent monster in all of Warriors.

He's a fragile, egotistical, self-absorbed megalomaniac who ALWAYS sees himself as the victim, REFUSING to self-reflect and blaming everything else for all of his terrible choices. He will USE your love of him against you like it's a chain through your nose, step out of line and he will yank you into place with guilt trips, manipulation, public shaming, and violence.

He's a child abuser. He's a tyrant. He abandons the sick and disabled as soon as they're of no use to him, with grand speeches about "illness" and "weakness." He's a murderer who stands above the shredded corpse of his victim and bellows, "I'M NOT GREEDY! I'M JUST STRONG!"

And you'd write a "good" redemption arc for this, why?

Why are people so chronically unable to accept that there are LOTS of people like him, and you can't save your abuser? Why don't you ask yourselves why you're not interested in exploring Thunder, or Petal, or Gray Wing, and how his toxic influence impacts them? Why does the sympathy fall on Clear Sky? What about the DOZENS of victims who are dead by Book 3, and how THEY could have been saved?

Why ruin a perfectly good villain?

What's behind this trend where a billion people say to me, "Yes Clear Sky is a walking cavalcade of fucked up abuse apologia, and an incredibly realistic depiction of an abuser, but how would you change this while keeping it all the same?"

I wouldn't. You can't. It wouldn't be the same story, or it wouldn't be the same character. Never seen it done well, and I have seen it a lot. So I don't entertain this deeply frustrating "Well What If Clear Sky But Nice" impulse.

#The closest I'll ever get to that is Fallenleaf. And she lost it all #And spent years in the time-out tunnel #BAD KITTIES GO IN THE PEAR WIGGLER TO BE SUFFICIENTLY WIGGLED. #I don't think people in power typically change. If they do it's so rare it's not worth entertaining. Camel through the eye of a needle shit #and I mean ALL powers. this goes for abusive relationships too. I think they need to lose that power before they change. #When you have power. REAL power. You can fill those holes with it. You can force people to not leave. #so im actively hostile to stories that winge and cry about giving powerful people endless sympathy and chances #You've already shown me what you want to do with your power and as long as you keep it you haven't seen your consequences. #Power reveals. #It doesn't corrupt.

To me. #He's the bastard you need to escape. #And that's infinitely more compelling to me than Nice Clear Sky Attempt 32324 #I don't write stories that beg you to sympathize with tyrants and keep your heart open to some maybe-change on the horizon #I write stories where they ruin everything they touch and have to be forcefully yanked out of power before they hurt more people. #And also screw every related take that's like 'ohhh after 5000 years of having his toes sucked he regrets it a bit :(' #no he fucking wouldn't. he had his toes sucked for 5000 years. He's vindicated by how fondly he's remembered. #You can't fucking tell me that he doesnt REVEL in how violent the culture became.

my evil hater opinion is that tails often enhance character designs but paw pads dont. not everything needs paw pads.

#specific: the autism creature does not need paw pads. trolls do not need paw pads. #every time theres ''cute beast'' with no direct animal equivalent ppl ruin it with paw pads. #general: sometimes rabbit furs can be cuter with them but done right but usually theyre much cuter without them like irl #u have to use them correctly if u do #like the autism creature wld look cute with pawpads if it was the single pink circle pad and not the individual toe ones #trolls wld look nice with em if under their hands/feet was jst lighter or darker without the individual finger pads etc #and looney tunes rabbits paw pads are fun and cute separate circles #i dont think tails belong on EVERY character (like chilchuck) but it at least makes me go oh cuuuuute! #paw pads on a character that doesnt need them actively makes them less cute
