#as long as theyre not falling apart theyre still good to use!

[weirdmageddon]

I'm taking the plunge because why not:

What are some headcanons regarding small, silly things that happened during the 3 year trips on the Golden Yard and Meteor?

oh lets go i love this sort of ask. no meteor crew stuff sorry im kinda tired but

on the prospitian ship:

the crocodiles are never recovering from that shit bro. un-stonks

alchemizing sessions. probably with mundane household devices like toothbrushes or something. patterned toilet paper. davesprite absolutely remakes the sbahjifier for himself but i think he also likes to hand draw them from time to time. also john and jade alchemizing bathing suits and going swimming on lolar and hanging with the turtles. casey can come too. floaties on casey

the sbahj canon diverges. so many sbahj in-jokes exclusive to the prospitian ship. unfortunately the retcon make it so none of this ever happens :(

he’d never say it but davesprite likes it when john and jade fall asleep on him doing whatever, it makes his presence feel wanted and appreciated by the people he sacrificed his self and humanhood for good for. sorry for immediately going into davesprite but good god is he tragic. oh yeah heres more. he’s still part dave and shares the same history with john and jade that alpha timeline dave does. john gave him his shades on his 13th birthday in december 2008, he sent john the con air bunny and jade a physical copy of sbahj as furries in the mail. he is identical to alpha dave in relation to his friends before the timeline splits off. dont forget that 4/13/2009 was also his first time meeting his online friends john and jade in person, even after 4 months chronologically of sburb grinding—nearly a year with all the time shenanigans—and going back to day 1, since john and jade were dead in his timeline

tries not to cry cries anyway but only when he knows theyre asleep. pov when the weight of everything suddenly hits you (you are an emotionally repressed 14 year old)

also because he’s fucking fluffy and absolutely knows it and probably thinks to himself “yeah this is the best possible use for these otherwise pointless breast feathers” and yall already know he craves cloth mother plus probably has nesting instincts

(source)

adding on to that also i think people forget sprites are actually fucking LONG and his wingspan is fucking huge he could be a pillow and a blanket at the same time

i wrote davesprite jade cuddles and john thinking about mushrooms and davesprite thinking about how they contribute to the ecnonony

^ john toked too hard on the lowas mushrooms by accident one time

it feels like pajama parties would be a common occurence just the vibes im getting. literally jade is seen sitting on a pile of squiddles and theres plushies fucking everywhere you know they got up to plushie mayhem. do you think they ever alchemized them. look how lived in that room is they all contributed something

jade resumes gardening :) but theres no sun :( but she alchemizes some plastic plants :D but its not the same :(

canonically the imps in johns house just gave up tormenting him and started hanging out and having snacks on movie night

PENIS!

imagine looking up into the sky and seeing a giant casey the size of a planet sleep. jade resizes stuff for fun like this just to introduce some novelty to their lives

this is something

davesprite has beavis and butthead do america (1996) in his collection somewhere in his apartment on lohac

yall theyre watching johns fuckin spongebob dvd box collection. you KNOW john owns the spongebob squarepants movie (2004). and the best thing is it brings all of them together without any of them objecting. they all love spongebob

when the episode jellyfish jam comes on johns like “wow, pretty much this exact scenario happened to me with the imps.” (arthur flashback sfx)

DAVESPRITE: yeah well you didnt have a giant sound system did you

jade warps dave’s bro’s sound system from lohac and sizes it up. they put on stadium rave and the entire fucking house shakes

I realize this is delving incredibly deep into hypotheticals but, if Elio wasn't sent away (either because he and Dahmia didn't fall in love or were at least a little better at hiding it) what would change? Like, how would his continued presence have affected Arche, would Arche and Dahmia gotten along sooner, would Elio still be interested in adventures if he wasn't sent away, etc?

I'm always happy to answer hypotheticals!! :D Its a great way for me to think about how a character would act!

Going with the idea that Elio and Dahmia never clicked in the same way as canon

I think that Arche would slowly mature and they would get to the point they were at during their 20'th summer much sooner, but it wouldnt be quite the same. It would be a lot less. OOmph if that makes sense. Dahmia had to spend time away from Arche as a reprecussion of Elio not being there, but if he was there, she never wouldve spent time away, and she and arche never wouldve gotten to see each other with fresh eyes after so long apart

I think they wouldve ended up being good, close friends as they matured, seeing as they grew up together. There would need to be something that makes arche see her in a new light. Maybe on their wedding day, seeing her in her dress, he has that "wow" moment.

Arche would be a lot less of a shut in & less anxious in general. Elio would still want to head out and adventure (he's a restless soul while Arche is very much a homebody), but he'd likely wait until his brother's wedding, so he could be there for him then give the two of them privacy while theyre getting used to being married

scuse me i gotta go be embarrassing under the cut brb 🚶

@cosmiccoincidence @felix-the-lemon-king well FUCK ok hi lol 👋

so like images from the engtwst translation that altered my brain forever:

so like. 🧍🙈 URGHGHHHG lol. felix u may have heard some of or all of this tangent before in the dms LOL but

my attempt at long story short: friend and i were into twst well before engtwst came out, so when we saw the official translation translated cater's "leona-kun" to "leona, sweetheart," we were like 🤨sweetheart?🤨🤨🤨 jkslajKLDJL like ik it's a casual thing meant here but. however. you see LOL

longer details: me being how i am as a person™, i let this fester in the back of my brain and it gradually grew out of control. i dont like. theyre not a pair i think of when i think of My Cater Ships. HOWEVER as i do with most leona potential ships(???) they read as exes to me here JSDLFG like. me with my soap opera lenses on [they are never off. sorry.] has me running wild w/this like leona/cater having A Thing of some undefined nature like maybe last year. tapping into cater's implied vibes of not always letting people get super close / used to kinda keeping things surface level and making the most of Being In The Moment and less concerned about making lasting ties bc hes used to stuff not lasting from his moving around etc etc whatever. like cater and leona starting off w/ a bond of just quietly being in each others space [i mean caters a chatterbox LOL im thinkin those rare moments where hes like mask off kinda lethargic or something. caycays such an interesting character w/a lotta mystery in that regard but i do NOT have time to get into that so just!!! bear with me LOL JFKLSDJF]

anyway i feel like i recycle the same plotlines with characters/ocs forever but thats just too bad: cater+ leona bonding somehow dont worry about it. idk leonas a spelldrive star and caters really good at flying so They Could Bond -> somehow falling into like a Casual Lowkey Relationship where theyre like 'we arent DATING dating, no labels and mostly just hang out when no one's around but Something Undefined is happening here. they kiss or whatever lol -> they emphasize w/e they have is strictly casual and 'doesnt mean anything' -> perhaps cater emphasized the 'doesnt mean anything' part more idk -> some forbidden feelings kinda spark anyway but one or both of em are just kinda. ignoring/denying it lol -> ive had a specific image in my brain for a Long Time of like. cater kissing lion boy. then being like ✌️its ok, its just for fun dont worry doesnt mean anything ✌️ -> and like its a mutual neutral feeling At First but like eventually i think their Situation falls apart for one reason or another and theres Tension

^i said takes place the year before the game starts but i think i also had it in my mind toying w/the idea of it as like a SUMMER FLING/ROMANCE(?) that ended RIGHT BEFORE school started. or idk maybe it ended right before they got out for break. WHATEVER.

point is those screenshots are from book 2 which is still pretty early on in the school year so ive got the vibe of like "oh things are still awkward between them, the 'breakup' is still relatively fresh, and leona feels bitter about it and is playing extra hardball with these guys and also harshly teasing them about it bc caters there and hes Emotional but taking it out sports style" lol. and supplementing that Specific Image In My Head^ i imagine in that convo in the screenshots w/cay being like 😔leona sweetheart plz chill😔 leona would just be like 😒well. it 'Doesnt Mean Anything' so whats the problem here 😌 😒

anyway. you maybe didnt really ask for the extra headcanon au lore whatever details but i gave them to you anyway LOL my LeoCay Messy Breakup AU. but i ALSO just like drawing them together bc cay is my fave and fun to draw, and leona is Also fun to draw 😔 my fave character cay + character i have been dragged kicking and screaming to kind of respect over time KLJFSDKLJFL every time leona says or does something that makes me think hes cool or smart i get SO MAD about it. seething at book 6 LOL SJDKLFJD twst with their damn complex characters making me Think Deeply 😒 and then i steal their deep blorbos and put them in my funny little barbie dreamhouse soap opera recycled romance drama plotline loop forever and ever and ev

ahem. so yea on the surface. pair that probs would never ever work out HOWEVER it's MY mind palace and i can make up whatever silly rules i want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#literally sat here head in my hands irl for a few seconds bc i was so embarrassed typing all this LOL had 2 pause and recollect myself #still gonna tag it tho. i have to desensitize myself 💪 #twisted wonderland #cater diamond #leona kingscholar #twst #cereal tries to draw #if the readmore doesnt work im committing crimes. but usually it works after i edit and re-add it lol #i have a lot of cay ships bc cay is a fave character and #i cant help but put my fave blorbos through the 'everyone should love u' machine #listen not everything is about shipping however i simply Enjoy It #it is FUN #<- me defending myself when literally no one is challenging me lol #SORRY it's 1am im Getting Scared lol #its the danger hour the Big Emotions time lol time for BED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hulahoopsoupgroup]

theres something so real about the concept of "i prefer being alone, but i just havent had good company for so long that i have no choice but to start enjoying it."

"i dont need physical touch to live a happy life." but my love language is physical touch. and its been so long since i was able to hold someone, to be held, to kiss someone. so i just pretend i dont need any of it because if i acknowledge any of it, it hurts. so badly.

"i dont like getting that close to people" but ive only either gotten close to someone, only for them to betray my trust, or gotten close to someone only for life to tear us apart. and it hurts in a way, but i can never stay away. i just keep falling for people.

"id rather just live alone" because ive gotten used to that sense of loneliness.

all of this, but i still want nothing more than to hopelessly fall into someones arms and kiss them until i lose my breath. i say all of that to try to cope, but it just makes things harder. people hear me say that and assume i just want to lock myself in my house and never talk to anyone.

i just wish i had the courage to tell them. i just wish i knew whether they feel the same. if theyre as starstruck as i am.

I've been thinking about representation again and the forms it can take and classifying them, and kinda just want to organise my thoughts here. Don't mind if I ramble for a bit, using a few examples.

From what I've seen so far, representation tends to take 3 main forms, and ALL OF THEM HAVE A PURPOSE.

Understated and insignificant, a slight mention

Meaningful and a fairly important part of the character

the character is an exaggeration of the thing they represent

So, first off, the "shallow" rep. Y'know, the kind people call "shoehorning" or whatever. This one can be a bit of a hot topic, and I feel like most people act like it's more of a problem than it actually is. However, in some cases it actually becomes very beneficial to the message the representation is trying to add.

For this one, I'm going to use Rainbow Six Siege as an example. Bear with me. For those who don't know about Rainbow Six, as in the original concept, not necessarily just the game, the idea is to have a global unit of the world's best soldiers, from as many different countries and backgrounds as possible, so that you always have a local expert on any situation and someone to provide a different view. The whole point of team Rainbow IS diversity, and always has been, but it more means diverse nationality.

However, Siege does add little tidbits of Sexual and gender diversity; a few gay characters, bi, trans, and Enby. However, this information is only mentioned briefly in the bios of the characters, regarded as a very insignificant detail. While this could come across as shallow representation, I think it really serves the game's message well. It does not matter who these people are or what their background is, they can do all the same cool operator shit as everyone else. There are trans people in the military, bis, enbies, and so on, and alot of people are against that, but Rainbow presents the message that it does not matter and they belong there.

Moving onto rep where it's a meaningful part of the character, or the media uses one to one metaphors to represent the identity (what I mean by one to one will make more sense later). This is where most "good rep" falls, and the example I'm using here, because it's one of the characters I know best, is Gwen Poole, AKA Gwenpool. Gwen's Aroace identity is still a fairly recent addition, with her having a several comic arc dedicated to learning about it. It would take far too long to delve into the deep details of Gwen's story and why she acts the way she does, but in short, she often tries to "put on a show", do things because she thinks shes supposed to in order to be interesting and relevant to avoid her comics being cancelled and fading into obscurity. In this comic arc, her appearances in Marvel's Love Unlimited series, she attempts to start an interesting romance to be interesting and stay relevant. She goes through attempt after attempt, trying different things, stopping on being gay/bi for a bit and seeing if that works, before things fall apart and she realises her identity. What I mean by a "one-to-one metaphor" here is how she forces things to happen to be an interesting character and because she feels like she's supposed to, which parallels how alot of Aspec people force themselves into relationships because they feel like it's normal and what they're meant to do.

And the third category, the exaggeration. This part is when "one to one" is going to make more sense. The exaggeration normally exists in a fantasy setting, where you can more clearly and outwardly display the complex inner workings of a person's mind. This is different to one-to-one where a character experiences those feelings as normal and just talks about them, as opposed to the media exaggerating and clearly displaying those feelings.

The example I'm gonna use for this is Jordan from Gen V, a spinoff of The Boys. (For those who don't know much about the boys and thinks its just that show edgy teens watch, its not. Theyre both very leftist shows, both in being supportive of marginalised groups and a larger criticism of capitalism and the right wing, especially with anti-immigration politics.)

Anyway, Jordan's power is to switch between being a man and woman in an instant, and having different powers depending on which they are. (For the purposes of this character, I am going to talk about gender as a binary, because that is how their power works.)

The show's target audience aren't exactly the kind of people who are going to pick up on nuanced ideas of gender identity, dysphoria, and such, so it isn't exactly subtle with that it's trying to say. Masc Jordan's power is being indestructable and immovable, and fem Jordan's power is some form of shockwave power, so their fight dynamic is attack as a girl and switch when they need to take a hit. I'm not gonna talk about the obvious implications of being a man to take hits and feel strong, it'd be a waste of time.

So that covers why they switch in fights, but which identity do they use out of fights?

The show makes 3 things clear: Jordan grew up as a boy before discovering their powers, and prefers being a girl and feels more confortable that way. So why do they ever present masc?

It's when they want to impress people, appear respectable/ traditional, appear strong and intimidating, or generally do not feel safe/comfortable, especially around their unsupportive parents. It's almost all based around internalized misogony.

So while the obvious interpretation to take about this character's identity is gender fluidity, I don't think that's the case, and this is where the exaggeration idea comes in. Jordan's power acts as an exaggeration of how they feel like they should present, as opposed to their actual identity. Having an instant and clear switch makes it easier for the audience to understand their feelings and comprehend what's going on identity wise. I believe Jordan's story much more closely resembles that of a trans woman, and the fluidity is just a way of showing their feelings.

I don't feel like I'm explaining this the best, but the exaggerated form of representation can make it clearer for the audience to understand emotions that are usually very subconscious and deep down. I recently cracked when I realised that most of the time, I was subconsciously viewing myself as more feminine and as a girl. I started questioning being NB or Fluid when I noticed sometimes I felt it was right to be more masc, but Jordan was there to exaggerate and clearly display those feelings to make them easier to interpret, and I realised I was in a similar situation and felt the same way.

So, in summary:

Subtle rep is designed to show that we're really all the same, and should be treated as equal.

One-to-one rep is designed to be directly relatable.

Exaggerated rep is designed to make it easier to interpret compex ideas and subconscious feelings to get a better understanding.

I hope this all makes sense, thanks if you read all the way to the end, I'd love to hear any thoughts you have.

I cant remember if ive ever mentioned my Floorboard AU before, but either way im gonna talk about it now and you cant stop me

Premise: Aspheera didnt banish Zane, she killed him. Poof. Vaporized. Gone. Kablooey. And the team, determined not to fall apart like they did the last time he died, decide to just. Not talk about it. Not address what happened. Just bottle everything up and pretend all is well, because theyre all terrified that if they openly acknowledge the gaping absence Zane left behind then it'll cause a team conflict. Things got messy last time Zane died, and they don't trust themselves not to fall apart twice. Which, when you think about it, might just be the most fitting way to honor Zane's memory, seeing as he was like the king of bottling things up (Ninjigma, anyone?)

Of course, this is only made more challenging by the fact that Pixal has inherited Zane's ice, and every time she uses or trains her new element its just a bitter reminder - to her and everyone else - of the fact that Zane is gone.

So now the ninja are going through all the motions of the Wildbrain seasons, but with everything warped by the loss of Zane. Like, Pixal dealing with all the mixed feelings of having Zane's powers, Wu training her, Kai lowkey resenting Pixal because he doesn't want her to replace Zane, Jay blaming himself for not taking Zane's vision seriously but ALSO refusing to tell anyone about it out of shame, Lloyd and Wu both fiercely blaming themselves for what happened, and Nya and Cole doing their darndest to hold everyone together but NOT doing very well. Someone get these kids some therapy.

And it's not just the characters, but the plot - in season 12, Unagami makes a Zane NPC to distract the ninja. And in season 13, they agree to go to Shintaro in the hopes that maybe a vacation will be a good distraction break from everything that's been going on. But with Cole's Mom TraumaTM opening back up, and a bunch of slavery happening, and the team getting split up, nobody is having a good time. Not to mention that Kai and Pixal end up stuck together, which sucks because they don't exactly get along anymore. And then of course, Seabound ends with Nya sacrificing herself - which ends up being the last straw that rips apart the team for realsies.

Now here's the catch: in the same way that Harumi was brought back by the Crystal King, so too has Zane been resurrected. The Overlord knows Zane is a powerful adversary, and would much rather have him on his side. Not to mention that Zane still has some Golden Power indelibly woven into his soul, and the explosion that killed them both also bound their fates together. When Zane defeated the Overlord, he earned his enemy's hatred and respect in equal measure.

But unlike Harumi, Zane's body was destroyed, meaning he cant be restored to his original vessel. So the Overlord instills Zane into a crystal construct that is bound to his will. Zane has to obey the Overlord, and he has no choice in the matter.

That being said, even as he's puppetted by the Overlord, hes not completely bereft of agency. He still resists every chance he gets, constantly trying to find some loophole in the Overlord's demands that will allow him to return to his friends and warn them about the coming threat. Also, he notices Harumi's reservations and doubts, and begins trying to appeal to her senses and get her to betray the Overlord. And while he's not 100% successful, he at least gets the ball rolling for Harumi's eventual redemption arc. Zane WILL defeat his enemy by making them his friend and that is a THREAT.

Zane also realizes that since he cant physically disobey the Overlord long enough to contact his friends, then maybe he can find a way to get someone else to do it for him. When choosing recruits for the Crystal Council, Zane manages to convince the Overlord to resurrect Morro for his cause - Morro was on their side in the end, after all, and only the ninja are aware of this. See, Zane is under the Overlord's control because he cant be trusted to keep his free will without fighting back - but if Morro keeps up appearances about being evil, then the Overlord might give him more leeway.

Morro isnt exactly happy about being dragged into a mess that has nothing to do with him, but reluctantly agrees to help Zane (if only in an effort to make up for his past). So they've kinda got a bittersweet begrudging alliance at first, that slowly evolves into something resembling a friendship.

And of course, while Zane is busy having the worst day of his life for like 50 days in a row, the ninja are ALSO having a bad time because the whole team is practically a hair-trigger away from a massive blow-out confrontation. That's what happens when you bottle things up, kids.

I have a lot more ideas for the AU, but these are all the broad strokes i have definitively planned out.

(If youre curious, its called the Floorboard AU because the WIP I had originally planned for it had the working title "The Floorboards Creak Under the Weight of Your Guilt." This is because the fic started out as a oneshot about the brief timeskip between the Fire and Ice Chapters, dissecting everyone's grief in response to Zane being assumed dead AGAIN. But then I thought "what if he died for real" and then things just spiraled out of control from there. I might change the name of the AU at some point though, who knows)

[defiantdreemurrs]

(this is a repost from a twitter thread i posted a month ago)

alright strap in everyone this is gonna be a long one yes im writing this to be petty no thats not the only reason i also want to be very perfectly clear about this and why i keep saying it

WHY (VRISKA) IS THE BAD END TO VRISKAS ARC IN HOMESTUCK BY KRIS DREEMURR

for starters lets define what "bad ending" even means in this situation. i would argue (vriska) herself doesnt actually have a particularly bad ending. yeah she dies but she gets her own little happy ending in one of the most touching flashes in the entire comic.

in contrast, post-retcon vriska *is alive*, first and foremost, therefore shes not being forcibly drawn into irrelevance by her literal death. she *gets shit done*, going out of her way to scout around the B2 session, doing research, and putting together the plan. she doesnt HAVE to reunite with terezi because theyre already there together, and she gets to spend three whole largely uneventful years together where they get to be GENUINELY THE ONLY REAL HEALTHY MOIRALLEGIANCE IN THE ENTIRE COMIC.

she shapes up everyones lives on the meteor, she keeps rose from drinking, everyone literally admits that tho she can be a bitch, she at least is a helpful bitch who kept things from falling apart. nobody ever even points this out either! she spent three fucking years on that meteor being a functioning helpful member of the group and nobody ever bothers to acknowledge that when criticizing her. vriska haters refuse to admit there was a stretch of time where she just chilled and was a decent person.

because nobody wants to admit she maybe was actually a good person who just wasnt very nice. because that ties into the other major themes of homestuck: good people arent always nice, and nice people arent always good. vriska is example number 1 of the former. and her story doesnt end with her "opening a box to let OTHER PEOPLE save the day". regardless of what you think of the post-canon stuff, her story clearly continues.

and even if you only consider what happens in canon? it still doesnt end that way. because someone had to go get the weapon. someone had to go out there and stop him. she was literally prepared to do it entirely alone. because nobody else was going to. nobody else wanted to. they were happy to let her do the hard part. all by herself.

let me stress the importance of her going out there: if she had not gone out there, the entire rest of the groups attempts at fighting off condy and the two jacks would have been for nothing. all of it would have ended in failure if nobody had taken the weapon out there. like i cant stress this enough. the entire rest of the finale was literally them distracting the three beings that could have possibly made her job even harder. yes it also kept condy from getting her hands on the new universe but otherwise the two jacks were irrelevant. vriska going to fight lord english was the reason they were able to enter the door. they would not have been able to without her.

im not even exaggerating. she literally spells this out. (vriska) even spells this out! page 6053 when she does her monologue about being a hero. if nobody went out to stop him, he would keep coming. he would keep destroying worlds, even universes. they wouldnt be free from him on earth C. he would find a way to come after them. but thanks to her, and meenah, and even TAVROS, plus all the ghosts? hes done for.

and let me once again remind you: SHE WAS GOING TO GO THERE ALONE. SHE WAS WILLING TO BE THE ONLY ONE IN ALL OF EXISTENCE WHO WOULD ACTUALLY ATTEMPT TO STOP THE METAPHORICAL MOON. BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE CARED ENOUGH TO DO THE HARD THINGS.

i dont say things like "(vriska) is objectively the bad end for vriska" lightly. i dont use the term objectively lightly. i dont typically refer to things as objectively because im not an arbiter of that. but this? this is all *right there in the text*. its loud and clear. (vriska) is objectively the bad ending to vriskas arc because she shows what happens when you give up and accept irrelevance. you stop caring, and you die. or double die.

if you still cant understand why i say this after all of this im happy to answer questions but like: if you genuinely cant see it after all of that plus me expanding further and answering questions and clarifying things? then you didnt understand homestuck. sorry. hussie is pretty good at being subtle. vriskas arc and especially what happens with (vriska) isnt them being subtle. thats hussie spelling out exactly what they want to say. vriska serket is just a bitchier simon the digger. always pushing forwards, never giving up.

iam so interested. what's the deets on the werewoof Ripley like I gotta know... it's such a cool thing and I'm genuinely wanting to know more

ive talkbed abt it a while ago but a rfresh is good both for me n uheh:

TBH i didnt have much thought at first but "hehe what if ripley but woof" fun fact

ripley is a forest ranger alongside marie, callie and cuttlefish. theyre all meant to take care of campgrounds mostly but the amount of work the other 3 put in is... debatable, now on the other side of the coin, ripley works. Way too much, so she also do some work related to trails n shit. actually ends up on forced paid leave but thats not relevant right now

alex and eight are quite literally just some girls (though alex feels like eight is kind of lying about being marina's cousin even if the later says she indeed is but hey that's her life to live), they are roommates, alex is on unemployment cus of smth that happened at her prev job and eight works at ammo knights still (i guess its more of a paintball shop or smth. unless...)

marina invites the two of them to go on a hike w her and pearl, in the middle of it alex n eight get lost, and upon encountering a ... wolf... they run away like ,very much so. but they end up falling from a distance high enough to knock them unconscious, the last thing alex sees is the wolf... geez, what a stupid way to die

anyway, when alex wakes up she sees someone look at her, in a fit of panic, still seeing the wolf, she decks ripley straight in the face,, yeowch. after about an half an hour or so of frantic apologizing, ripley explains that she just found them passed out in the middle of nowhere ...so she just bought them back to her shack cus like u dont let ppl in the middle of fuck all perhaps?. when alex talks about the wolf they saw, ripley tells them there are no wolves in this area usually. there ARE bears though haha- hey stop yelling??

ripley helps them get back to the campground they were meant to get to and they both thank her blablabla, eight gives her her email and number and like. ripley s job is done by that point so she just leaves.

a month later, cuttlefish is very happy (hes not, callie forced him to) to tell ripley shes on vacation! indefinitely, go to the city and get some (un)fresh air. now, actually. now byebye!!

so ripley is back to the city w no home (i mean she very much did live in her shack but like... nothing in the city) well thats fine shell just sleep ina shitty motel for a week or two and then go back to work

she goes to the closest shop she sees to buy a sandwich and she sees eight picking some pastas, she turns around to walk away and eight taps her on the shoulder, they talk and upon hearing she was about to sleep in a hotel, drags her to her and alex s apartment "consider it as a thank you for helping us out last time ! You can stay as long as needed !"

-"uhhh ok ??"

and yeah they end up living together LOL

Ripley tries her their best to hide the fact theyre a werewolf by hiding away but eight is super in love curious she finds out after some times.

, silly au dont take it too seriously...

Disorganized thoughts:

-Tartar, takes the animals to experiment with sanitized style etc. Covers himself as a private company that deals w wildlife control perhaps.

-Ripley got mistaken as a random wolf, anyway.

-Ripley s dad is also a werewolf. He sucks ass i hope he dies anyway.

-ripley hates shaving. But does so sometimes when in the city cus ppl. Or just wears a mask.

THANK YOU FOR READING. or sorry. Here is some werewoof ripley art

#seriously its v for the lols i have a fun time etc. #anyway ty ty might edit some stuff in later lol

[nanjokei]

🔥 have fun!

i just saw this, sorry for the late response!

while a lot of "luxury" product is bullshit, i think i'll always defend brand name bags (within reason obviously) because they are the single most useful product to come out of those hellholes. they're a good investment, you get daily use out of them easily, and they last a very long time. my mom still has a chanel bag she picked up from a thrift store in america, you know like, back from 1994?!?!!!!

if i was gonna buy something expensive and had the opportunity to, it would have to be a luxury bag! cuz clothes eventually get too small or go through wear and tear.. i think theyre useless to buy super expensive especially when they are probably not even guaranteed to be quality, but you can't get away with making a bag that falls apart (i think). not only does it last for a long time and have hella utility, i can also sell it later for a good price!!!!

i am absolutely TERRIBLE at fic titles so here's some from i am absolutely TERRIBLE at fic titles so theyre from the top of my head or my favourite songs <3 (i cant format them all cute im on desktop ;x;) "soulmates aren't just lovers, you know?", "when the stars are the only things we share", "a recipe for disaster", "fragile lovers can't partake in games" you don't have to do all of em, do with them what u will! cheers >_^

these were very fun to write <3 thank you anon!!

soulmates aren’t just lovers, you know?

Grian and Scar were soulmates, they always had been, no matter the lifetime, no matter the place. It had become an axiom, a truth of existence. It was no surprise the universe had paired them together in a death game where they were bound to hurt each other, kill each other, destroy each other so beautifully. 

“Scar, look at me!” Grian exclaimed, cupping Scar’s cheek to hold him in place. They felt the simultaneous pain of the dripstone falling on their heads. Grian winced, and the realisation dawned on Scar’s face.

“Oh my god,” he breathed. Grian let out a chuckle at the reaction. “Really?”

“What?” Grian asked. “Don’t want to be partnered with me?”

“Just didn’t think I’d get so lucky again,” Scar smiled, Grian’s hand was still on his cheek. 

“I have to say,” Grian started, leaning in. “I prefer it to quite a few others.”

Scar hummed in agreement, their lips brushed against each other. “Oh, but being enemies is fun sometimes. I get to push your buttons.”

Grian pressed a languid kiss to Scar’s lips. He pulled back and rolled his eyes. “Believe me, I am aware.” 

“You love it,” Scar teased, pulling Grian in for another kiss.

“I love you,” Grian offered.

“I’ll take it.”

when the stars are the only thing we share

“I wish you could come with me,” Scar whispered one morning, a careful hand tracing lines up and down on Grian’s arm. “I’m going to miss you so much.”

“I’ll miss you too,” Grian said, cuddling deeper into Scar’s hold. “But they need me down here, and you up there, Mr. Astronaut.”

“I know,” Scar sighed. He loved his job, he hated the sacrifices he had to make to do it. “At least I can always open up a transmission to you.”

“The people who have to sort the call logs will hate us,” Grian joked, looking up at Scar’s face. He brushed a strand of hair off of Scar’s forehead. “At least it’s only a few months.” 

“Back together before we know it,” Scar held out his pinky. 

Grian linked it with his own with a smile, “before we know it.”

It was a phrase they had started telling each other, telling themselves, to make the time apart a bit easier for both of them. It helped them from they got word of Scar’s trip to the morning he was set to to step foot onto the spaceship.

Grian was crying, so was Scar. They already missed each other, despite the fact they were in each other’s arms. “Say the world and I’ll stay,” Scar mumbled into Grian’s ear with desperate longing. 

“I think it’s a little too late for that,” Grian whispered. “You’ll be back before we know it.”

“Before we know it.”

a recipe for disaster

“So, why do you need chorus fruit again?” Grian asked, shooting off another rocket to keep his momentum. 

“For my Cookie Empire, Grian!” Scar repeated, continuing on as they landed on an end island. “I’m making elven kisses!”

“Elven kisses?” Grian asked, crossing his arms and walking up to Scar. “I thought those were Grian Exclusive.”

“Songbird, are you jealous?” Scar teased, pulling Grian closer, taking pride in the small pout on his face. “Tree elven kisses are still a Grian Exclusive, don’t worry.”

“Good,” Grian hummed, “now let's get this over with so that I can eat the batter behind your back.”

Scar laughed, twirling Grian around in his arms. “As you wish, my love.”

Three hours after that, Grian and Scar with both covered head to toe in flour, competitive looks in their eyes. “You started it!” Grian cried out.

“I do not!” Scar argued. “You ate the batter!”

“I told you this, you were aware of my shenanigans!” Grian put his hands on his hips, tilting his head, giving Scar his best scowl. Scar struggled to keep back a smile. “What?” Grian demanded.

“Nothing,” Scar said. “You just look so cute when you’re angry.”

Grian didn’t know if the heat in his face was from him blushing or more anger, “don’t try and sweet talk your way out of this one mister!” 

“Sweet talk?” Scar asked, and Grian realised his mistake. “Would you like an elven kiss to go along with it?”

“That depends, are you talking about the cookie?”

fragile lovers can’t partake in games

“Xelqua.” Voices boomed around Grian as he regained consciousness. The voices were distinct and horribly familiar, the Watchers. “You have lost.”

“I can’t always win,” Grian seethed. He felt thousands of eyes on him, observing and critiquing his every move. It left a bitter taste in his mouth. “Statistically impossible.”

“Not just the game,” the voice echoed in his mind. “Yourself, those you love.”

“What do you mean?” Grian asked. He mentally replayed his time on the servers, the rush of being red, the thrill of the danger that came with it. 

“You were meant to be resilient, Xelqua,” the Watchers said. “That was the deal, for you to have this power, and yet here you are, broken.”

“I am not broken!” Grian argued, voice hoarse and raw with anger.

“You have hurt everyone you’ve ever loved,” the Watchers started. “You have killed them, yet you pretend you are whole?”

“I am whole!” Grian sobbed. “I am, I am, I am,” he repeated to himself, trying to overpower the voices in his head. 

“We thought we could help, pairing you with Scar, but still you fail, and you hurt, and you kill.”

“I don’t,” Grian tried, he felt smaller than he ever had before. “Scar forgave me!”

“You have not forgiven yourself, the most important part.”

(Not) Broken

Pairing: Jason Todd x Ace!GN Reader

Request: it was very long, but summed up to jason x ace!reader (with plot summary) :)

Warnings: Acephobia, cussing

Word count: 1109

A/N: this was requested literally a year ago but i went on hiatus! i hope anon sees this and knows that i DID write this and i’m sorry it literally took forever i feel so bad that it took so long.

Maybe, just maybe, you should have expected less from dating Jason Todd. Perhaps your standards should have been lower. Not from him, obviously. Despite his tough exterior, Jason cared, and he made sure you knew that. You knew, too, that he could be angry and frustrated, especially with his family and sometimes (you had to admit) with you, but all in all he was caring and he was sweet. He was a good boyfriend. It’s a shame, perhaps a selfish thought but nonetheless, that the rest of the world seems to think so as well.

You’ve dealt with worse; death threats, to name one. Being in the public eye was rather inevitable, and it was something you’d been prepared for. You took it, mostly. It was one thing to be bashed for your dating choices, and your relationship. It was entirely another thing to be bashed for your identity, and it was such a thing that hurt so incredibly much more.

Lying on the side of your shared bed in Jason’s apartment, tears illuminated by the blue light of your phone screen, you couldn’t help but feel a bit pathetic. It was late, the sky long since overcome by the ink-black of night, and you were crying over a Twitter post, of all fucking things. It wasn’t even particularly well thought-out. It was stupid, really. Stupid and dumb and idiotic and yet it spun such a doubt in your mind that you couldn’t help but stare at it and wonder if it was right.

It was a reply to an article about you two, from some user with barely 50 followers. So it really shouldn’t have been a big deal, you should’ve just scrolled past, maybe laughed at the audacity of people, and moved on. You would have, if it wasn’t one of many. But it was, and so you didn’t, your eyes scanning over each word a hundred thousand times. With each reread, you couldn’t help but find yourself agreeing more.

“no way theyre actually together. guys like him need sex lol i doubt it’ll last”

It didn’t matter. It didn’t, really, it didn’t. Repeating it didn’t make it less of a lie. Your eyes flicked up to the time, and you had to blink to clear the haze in your eyes to be able to read it. Nearly 3am; he’d be home soon. Then what would you tell him? “Oh, sorry Jason, some idiot online made me feel like shit and now I don’t know if I can maintain this relationship”? Yeah, that would go down well, and wouldn’t sound pathetic at all. You were better off trying to hide it and letting him use his detective training to figure it out himself.

As if on cue, you heard the rattle of the window. You chucked your phone in the bedside table and pulled the covers over you, hastily wiping your face. How hard could it be to fool him? Maybe he’d be too tired to notice. Maybe he’d be injured and about to fall unconscious, though you supposed you shouldn’t exactly wish for that.

He wandered around for a bit, leaving the room and presumably getting a drink or something along those lines. You couldn’t make out much of his silhouette, the surrounding room masking him in a façade of darkness, but you could hear the clunky sound of his boots.

After a while, you heard him sigh and felt the shift of weight as he clambered in next to you, wrapping his arms around your stomach. “Still awake?” He muttered. It wasn’t really a question; he could tell, you were sure. You nodded, anyway. It was always a courtesy of his to ask. “Wanna talk about what’s wrong, then?” Shit. He could definitely tell.

How could you start this? How could you interrogate him about his feelings, a subject he so often avoided? Asking him why he liked you seemed ludicrous, even childish. But you needed to know, and you wanted to hear his response, anyway. “Why are you with me?” You blurted, and then you felt him stiffen. He was still for a moment, and then he sat up, reaching for the lamp at the side of the bed, switching it on in an array of too-bright light.

“What? Why would you ask that?” He asked, his eyes wide, concern lighting up the grey of his irises. You stammered, then let your head fall to your hands. Pathetic, really. But beating yourself up would do no good if you didn’t get an answer. “Am I not too…” Too what? What were you that he couldn’t handle? “Am I not too broken? I can’t - I don’t know - I can’t fulfill you the way other people can.” His brows furrowed at that, and then he snaked his hand round your shoulders and tugged your head to his chest. He liked to be close to you, you knew that. You liked it, too, admittedly.

Jason sighed, and closed his eyes. “You’re not broken, and don’t let anyone tell you that you are.” He had, presumably, seen what was being said, too. Maybe it was impossible to avoid it, especially with the both of you being tagged and mentioned in most of it. Maybe it was naïve to have thought he’d be oblivious; naïve, you thought, but easier. “You’re not broken,” he repeated. “You’re everything, and you’re whole. You make me happy, and even that’s enough because God knows there’s not much else in this damned city that does that. You’re kind and you're generous and I’m sorry for dragging you into a world where people put you into question. You’re not broken, but you fix what is. You fix me, and that’s more fulfilling than anyone else could possibly be.”

He kissed your head, and brushed your wet cheeks. You hadn’t properly realised you were crying until you stopped and felt your lashes clumped together and the coolness of the tear stains on your face as the air hit. You nestled your head further into him. A good answer for a perfect boyfriend, a boyfriend who loved you for what you were and how you were.

You fell asleep there, soon after, to the hum of the building and the soft pattern of his fingers running up and down your back. You were pathetic, truly, for thinking there was a scenario where Jason didn’t love you or thought little of you. Looking at him, eyes lidded in slumber and breaths even with a comfort he could not summon anywhere else, there was no doubt that the boy was in love, and he was in love with you.

ok yknow what im just gonna straight up vent about work rn bc i ran out of tags on the other post

its become such a fucking shitshow down there jesus christ i cannot fucking stand it anymore. communication doesnt exist, i dont even remember the last time back of house had a fucking meeting. the owner pushed for us to stay open during a blizzard where it was a wind chill of -40. i mean holy fuck, the city said dont travel unless its an emergency

i had issues on sunday that i wasnt sure about, but our chef was out of town doing a show with his band, and our sous chef was sitting at the bar in the restaurant a good 5 or 6 beers deep by the time i ran into this problem. i asked the other supervisor (who agrees with me that this is a shitshow) and he wasnt sure either so we straight up guessed

i only make 15 an hour despite having been there for a whole fucking year, because i only get supervisor pay when im clocked in as supervisor. which is a measly 8 of my 40 hours. but god forbid i dont act like a supervisor for all 40 hours

insurance is unsustainably expensive there. my coworker who makes 13.50 an hour takes home *more than i do per paycheck* at this point. and he works 32 hours! i havent taken home more than 750 a pay check since getting insurance! i used to be grossing 1000! IM LITERALLY PAYING 175 DOLLARS EVERY PAY CHECK! AND THATS ABOUT TO GO UP TO ALMOST 180 WHEN I TURN 27! im not making any fucking money! im not getting any savings!

not to mention they fucked up my insurance not that long ago! i was told at the doctors office and the pharmacy that i had zero coverage! but they were still taking money from my fucking paycheck for it! like holy fuck i shouldve talked to goddamn lawyer about that instead of giving them the benefit of the doubt!

i was 110% fine with making 15 an hour and doing nothing but pizzas. because the trade off was that i could cut out early, i could trade shifts, if i got sick it wasnt fucking everyone else over. but now i cant do any of that. i have to close on saturdays, dont get home and in bed until 1:30 some nights, and then have to get up and go do a 10 hour shift every sunday. every weekend! every fucking weekend! and im the only one that does that anymore! im not the only one doing a double on sunday, but im the only one who has to close the night before. and because im just exhausted by the end of a sunday, my mondays are practically wasted because im catching up on sleep!

i like. cant fucking do this anymore. i cant think of any reason why im still there. i could go worl at fucking sams club in the bakery, start at the same wage (if not more), have *less* responsibilities, be doing something i want to do, and they close at 8 every day. i dont think theyre even open on sundays!

why am i still working there? its not sustainable for me anymore. my body is fucked. its falling apart ahead of schedule. i cant even open my door in the morning because of carpal tunnel. im 26 and when i crouch down i cant always get back up. the other night my ankle just started popping every time i turned around. what am i doing? what am i doing. i dont know.

i dont even have energy left over to draw. or make stained glass. or even do a discord call. the last time i had an actual date with my partner was, what, like 4 fucking months ago? i dont have any energy left over. im using it all for a place that i dont enjoy working at anymore, and i know i wont get better hours. our sous chef has been here since the place opened and he only has night shifts. the only day he doesnt is sunday. which is 8am to 3pm.

our new hire has sunday-monday off. why cant i have that? i want a weekend day off. its not gonna happen in this industry. its not gonna happen in this kitchen. i cant do this for the next however many years,

[banana-breadses]

holy shit your object show as a whole sounds so interesting if you woulnd't mind i want to hear more

okie lets go! (long ramble ahead)

My show is called Roll Credits!

plot wise its just your standard object show with challenges eliminations and a huge plot thing later in the season! the characters is where it gets fun ;-)

here are the first drawings of most of the characters. its not the best, but they're all here! lets go in order:

Water Bottle(she/her): Athletic! likes sports and excersise. complete opposite of Towel.

Towel(she/her): Lazy! likes television and sleeping. complete opposite of Water Bottle.

Textbook(he/him): Smart! is a green book! i have since updated his design, and added glasses and some blocks of text on his cover. also BAD AT TALKING

Rubik's Cube(he/him): Organized! basically my younger brother's self insert. dont know much about him but hey he seems cool.

Sugar Cookie(she/her): My girl! love her! first character of them all,an oc before i wanted to make a show. Ive talked all about her before, and I love her <3

Snowflake(he/him): honestly he's the one ive thought the least about. cool guy, really chill(pun intended)

Drum(they/them): Likes music i guess. I love them but all conversations end up in an argument because of the ~transphobic family~

Bowl(he/they/it): Cool guy. also a god. this was drawn before he was a god. doesn't talk i also have an original drawing for God Bowl that i dont really like anymore but if you wanna see it... (more lore to come!)

Bill(he/him): Rich! Bowl's best friend, and talks a lot. makes up for Bowl's silence.

Sunglasses(both he/him): the hosts! individually their names are Sun and Glass. Sun is excitable and energetic, and Glass is a cool guy.

Measuring Tape(she/they): Mom friend? i think? no matter what I am in love with their shape!!! she's so cute!!1

Glow Stick(she/her): rowdy teenager! likes to party and have fun. Her emotions do get really big(like me!) and she changes mood really intensely really quickly.

Flashlight(she/her): Cute girl! love her! she's the youngest of the group. kind to everyone, knows everyone, but doesn't have any real friends. Until now! with compassion she and Glow Stick become good friends :)

Speaker(he/him): didn't have a personality, but now he still doesn't! yknow how Rob in TAWOG forces his way from a background character to the villain? Speaker's kinda like that. doesn't have a personality, but hacks into the settings of the show to give himself one.

Pinecone(he/him):!!!!! the angry one!!!! used to be a criminal. he has been cloned!! and he doesn't really know it. as far as Pinecone knows, he got hit with a sciencey beam and thats it.

Marble(he/him):uuuuhh a last minute addition. dont know much about him. :/

Key(he/him): very calm. Kinda like Candle II. his eyes are always closed because when he opens them theyre so shiny it would blind everyone. why? you'l never know(unless you ask him(he polishes them(with bleach)))

Twig(she/her): TWIG!!!! Love her!!! very soft spoken and loves her leaf. doesn't understand people all the time, but she tries :o)

Mushroom(she/her): the mediator. Likes gardening, and tries to keep her alliance from falling apart.

those are all the main characters! there are a few side characters like the mafia, their parents, and the gods.

okie the mafia:

Coney(he/any): Pinecone's clone. wants to distance themself from him a lot, so he became a criminal! leads a band of friends despicable objects.

Poinsettia(she/her): tries to stay calm. Tall. super cool

Butter Knife(they/them): anxious to all tomorrows. i have never seen them not anxious.

Tie(he/she): chaotic. has maybe killed someone for real......? she wont tell.

honestly the mafia is just Team Rocket level evil, but Coney honestly tries to be bad.

their parents are just a few things ive thought about. Sugar Cookie's parents are Chocolate Chip Cookie and Cake, Rubik's cube's parents are Puzzle and Paint Pallet, and Measuring Tapes parents are Ruler and Tape. Ive come up with more(not all of them).

TAPE!!!! LOOK AT HIM!!! HE IS SO SHAPED!!!

the gods are still a bit of a mystery to me. there are twelve of them, (all dishware) but the only ones that are really important and fleshed out are Bowl and Plate. Plate was Bowl's caretaker when it was young, and after Bowl ran away, she got really depressed and holed up in the gods' realm. they all have varying numbers of eyes and wings.

here's a picture of Plate and a ladle guy i might make a god.

okie those are all the characters! (not even all of them I still havent mentioned Doll or any of the alliances ;))

[whickerfurniture]

okay I have Many Thoughts about different characters that could exist in ella's idea so have this post

so there's the reluctant leader who convinces themselves that they did this for the benefit of the group, and becomes fanatical to the lie. The person was dead already so really who are they hurting? it would Ruin Their Lives for this to get out so they maybe were the first to suggest that hiding them was the only thing they could do, or else the most vocal supporter of the idea. when things start falling apart they'd usually be the first to throw this in the faces of other group members "you went along with this, just like we did. you drove the car/threw away the murder weapon/lied to the cops/other illegal thing so you can't tell or you'll go down too" they're being crushed by the anxiety of it but try to Stay Strong for the group because as soon as someone breaks they all break. an army is only as good as its leader. whether this person is actually a leader or its all in their head would be fun to play with too

and maybe someone who's just a little dumb. it was endearing when the stakes were low, when they'd just get drink orders wrong or say something wildly out of touch with reality, but now that their futures were at stake, this person is now a huge fucking liability. they won't maliciously go to the cops and snitch, but there's no saying what they won't spill when they're drunk, or in love, or just plain not thinking. they mean well and try to help, but you can't really trust them on their own for their lack of judgement.

and then someone who felt something Wake Up seeing the blood and the thousand yard stare and the faint purpling of the skin where the corpse lay for just a little too long before they could work out what they were going to do. they hide it from the others, but their heart was racing the entire time, and not because of the fear. they love the danger of it, the knifes edge they're now walking on. they've always been interested in the dead, may be even working towards/in a career that gives them more exposure to the dead but nothing compares to someone being dead at your hands, even accidentally.

and maybe it wasn't accidental at all. maybe they've pushed the group to this precipice just to see how they react. Just because they thought it'd be fun, to watch their psyches slowly crumble under the crushing weight of the guilt, guilt they cannot feel. they like their friends, but things were getting stale. boring. and there's nothing worse than boring. besides, you cannot evolve while in a comfortable environment, and necessity is the mother of invention.

or maybe it was accidental. maybe it was right place, wrong time or any combination thereof. maybe the images in their mind disgust them just as much as they excite them, and they don't know why they can still smell the blood, even after weeks. they can't stop thinking about it, no matter how much they desperately want to. they want to go to therapy, to talk to a professional about it, but how can they without giving the whole group up? and they can't, they love their friends. but they're also imagining how each one of them would look dead.

anyway these were just some ideas bouncing around that i wanted to put to screen before i forget them? theyre pretty basic and kinda shittily presented but w/e yall are used to my shit at this point

[nahalism]

How old are you if you don’t mind me asking? I’m the “liberal feminists are dumb” anon maybe I should pick another name to identify myself lmao but for someone so young you seem to be someone very wise. I did mean it when I called you intelligent last time, I’m curious about what made you want to learn about esotericism, while I don’t believe in everything esotericism has to say it’s definitely something that has always attracted me too. Like what books do you or have you read?

lmao, its cool come as u are. & im 25 (will be 26 in june). and thank you

i dont want to make this reply a long history of my life story, cause ultimately it will just be a story & one that may have no bearing or relation to what you feel/think. my truth is that i feel each person should believe and follow in what feels true for them. for me that is the principle of being loving and lovable, creating harmony or betterment where i go, and leaving what i touch better than how i found it or at least untainted by my presence. when i fall short of that, i dissect it and apply it to myself painstakingly so that i become a fuller expression of what i want to be and that has always been my nature. esoteric study has helped me tremendously in that pursuit, but it isnt the core reason its my nature to pursue that way of living. ive always loved the stories of people older than me, music, literature, science, history, psychology, anthropology, philosophy, building things, logic, so schools of thought whether they be animism, islam, christianity, hinduism, theosophy, syncretism, the kabbalah, the sybil oracles, are all of interest to me because theyre like giant slabs of all of those subjects put together to pick apart and bring me to a fuller understanding of the world. i take what i find to be true & apply it, leave what i dont agree with & respect it because one day i might find it relevant. but ive always said on here and still feel that its not what you know or how much you know, its what you do with it. knowing something means nothing if it cant be practically applied & my experiences, beyond any book ive ever read, are what lead me to feel conviction in my beliefs. & yes, 😂those experiences are all the typical inexplicable psychic phenomena that are usually palmed off as woowoo. so ill write a list of some authors or books that have been great resources for me over the years below, but what i hope you ultimately get from this is that its what we feel and what we experience that trumps everything. ive met many athiests that are just genuinely good people & i think that example exhibits this best. to not believe in a god or a point to any of all this and still choose to be 'good' for goodness sake is i think what all of these teachings wish for us to arrive at.

- ted andrews and ivan antic (both have many good books), manly p hall - the secret teaching of all ages, helena blavatsky isis unveiled and the secret doctrine, rudolph stiener (many good books all audio also as books on youtube), any resources left behind by nikola tesla and einstein are incredibly to marry with the content in many of these books, florence scovel shinn, krs1 (also many good videos on youtube), ralph waldo emerson has amazing insights, james redfield the celestine prophecy, the monk who sold his ferarri robin sharma, santos bonacci has a good video on syncretism & how the bible relates to astrology and the earth as a tauric field of energy, robert wang quabalistic tarot is phenomenal, and of course the bible, the quaran, the bhagavad gita, the majority of hindu and buddhist texts and whichever gnostic texts you can get your hands on. if you are a sceptic your free to remain a sceptic. the key thing is to allow the texts to meet you where you are, but to know the difference between bias and separating the wheat from the chaff. best of luck & feel free to dm me at any point

May I have a romantic (or nsfw if ur willing) bsd match up?

I'm 5'2, can bounce between talking for hours, and being dead silent, I really like animals, I have a short temper, but high patience at the same time, and I like to draw

(If you need more info lemme know via @hollegor-avatar-of-darkness )

I pair you with.... Gin!

[I'm going to use they/them pronouns for Gin here, since I think there are many valid intepretations of their gender]

Gin likes to listen to you, but they also value comfortable silence. They're equally excited about witnessing your long passionate rants, and lounging quietly in the same room

Gin does speak to you, but I headcnaon them selectively mute, so in some situations they won't speak.

Gin is taller than you but the height difference isn't huge. Itd be easy to swap hoodies

Gin is actually really fond of holding hands, theyll hold hands everywhere you go if you let them

If you ever drew gin, theyd be really embarrassed and shy, but theyd still model for you any time you asked so they must not mind too much

They really like to spend time with you and are slowly opening up to you

Theyre a little afraid to get too close because attachments are frowned on in the mafia

Once you guys get closer and your relationship gets more heated, well.... theyre in too deep

They haven't had very many partners before you, but Gin is deceptively good with their tongue

Gin is a switch, so you guys are always finding new things to try

They would go crazy if you ever used yourself as a present, though, tie a little bow around your neck and wait, they'll be so worked up about the whole thing

Gin can be silent during sex, if they need to, which is great if you have an exhibitionist streak, but if you take your time making their composure fall apart, theyll be whining and moaning really loud

Gins proficiency with their tongue means theyre fond of (giving and receiving) oral but theyre also huge on leaving hickeys, they like to mark you
