This is a reminder to THINK OF THE ETHICS. Even just a little makes a big difference.

I hate that whenever there's a gay ship, people immediately het-ify it. people are so obsessed with making one the "man" and one the "woman" when that's completely unnecessary, because they are both the man or the woman. It's extremely annoying. these people will completely mischaracterize a character to fit into their stupid little het roles they force on them.

for example, you don't need to make one man the "wife" and feminized him to the extreme and fit him in a traditional "woman" role so the other man can be the big strong masculine manly man. they can both be masculine or both be feminine or both be both at the same time! they do NOT need to be gendered opposites to fit het roles. crazy, I know! it's like no one considers it a possibility! or sees how good it can be to have them be equals without gendered nonsense.

when there's a gay relationship, you have the perfect opportunity for the couple to stand on equal ground. they get to be equals who are just as strong and just as soft as each other. there's no faulty power dynamics where one is above the other (because let's face it, society unfortunately deems masculinity > femininity). one doesn't need to protect the other. they can protect themsleves, fight aide by side as equals. one doesn't do all the housework. they share that duty equally. one isn't weak and pretty, while they other strong and manly. they both are strong and pretty, or masculine and weak at the same time.

equal relationships are amazing and need to be explored more and appreciated. there can be more understanding and working together. i'm bad at explaining what I mean, but I prefer these equal relationships over forcing them into opposite roles to mirror het relationships, which are usually extremely unbalanced and unequal. especially because these not het relationships! so why must they look like one? they can and should look different! so why does literally every shipper and writer out there make them so het coded?

I don't understand why people do this. do they actually believe all romantic relationships must mimic het ones to exist and thrive and purposely force that on them? or have they genuinely just not fathamed that they can be different and dont need to follow the expected het standards?

I wonder, it feels like no one actually knows how non-het relationships are meant to be and how they could work, since het ones are always forced down our throats since birth. it becomes The Standard that everyone thinks they must follow. maybe it's all people know since they don't see any other possibilities. their preferred dynamics for their ships are what we are taught and nothing different, because they don't know it can be different. i also think people might be obsessed with that whole "opposites attract" trope. but that opposite doesn't have to be the traditional het-fueld feminine vs masculine or wife vs husband characteristics. it can be other personality things like one is loud and one is quiet, one is dumb and one is overly smart, one is rich and one poor, etc. it doesn't have to be masculine vs feminine!

BREAK OUT OF THE HET NORMS!!!!! TEAR DOWN HETERONORMATIVITY!!!!!!!!! FREE THE GAYS

(disclaimer, not saying masculine vs feminine ships are all bad/shouldn't be done ever. but it doesn't need to be 100% of the time either 😅 can't think of one ship people dont do this with lol)

#cant even say its only het shippers because lgbt shippers do it too #i enjoy the ships i see more as equals. like cynonari and xingyue for example #first ones that came to mine lol #everyone feminizes the shit out of nari calling him cynos wide constantly but they're both strong leader types with a soft side #wife* #THEYRE SO EQUAL???? AND THAT MAKES THEIR RELATIONSHIP SO STRONG???? #then xingyue is funny because ive seen people frame BOTH yingxing and dan feng as the “wife” at different times. proof theyre equals! #maybe not proof lmao but you cant say the arrogant craftsman and proud dragon arent equals who get along super well #they arent het opposites at all imo. not even close #i just really enjoy balanced equals over unbalanced opposites. because the feminine is always seen as lesser and weaker than the masculine #and that always bothers me a lot lmao #im probably the minority here. im giving benefit of the doubt that people just never thought about it and do what theyre taught #but if everyone actually orefers this and its on purpose.......please reconsider 🤣 #prefers* #words #lee rambles #gay #lgbtq #gay ships #one relationship i felt was presented as equals (from best of my memory) was korrasami #they balance each other out and i see them as equals. one doesn't lead over the other. they're both leaders in their own ways. and carers #one reason i dont date is because most people are ovsessed with this unbalance opposite gender roles thing and i cant stand it lmao #obsessed* am tired of tag typos i miss until after i hit enter hfhfhdhdjdjsjs #this was long and rambly but i suddenly had many feelings and needed to say them #*

Virgo Suns: Sisters Of The Earthly Realm & The Creators of Self-Mastery.

Virgos are the blueprint.

Lets just sit with this for a second.

Virgos have an incontrollable desire to do more, be more, and deliver more. When they are in love with something, they put their whole mind body and spirit in it. These craftsman are known to bring the best into reality and it is because they recognize the soul purpose of a foundation and with each step they practice everyday to reach the highest pinnacle.

There is no mountain they cant climb.

There is not one sky they cant fly to new heights with.

There is nothing but resilience, patience, and the sure mental ability of knowing that anything is possible if you try. Anything is possible if you go at a large number of times until your fingers hurt.

They dont care about the blood sweat and tears, thats how they transmute. Their power is in the way they use there mind and conquer the tasks that are needed to complete a goal.

There main wish to have perfectionism. Some say perfect isn't 'real' but I say it is. Because perfect is nothing but energy and this is what they strive for. The only thing I would say to virgos is that you must stop trying to control the outcome of the idea and allow it to show you how it wants to be created. Like a mother giving birth to their baby, you cannot control how they come out or how they act, you just have ideas on what we would want them to be like. This is the same with your creations. When you nurture them, allow them to be what it NEEDS to be and not what you WANT it to be. Thats what allows perfection. Nothing more nothing less.

You did the blueprint, created the foundation, made tasks to complete to make the creation in question more immaculate then before. You just have to let go and allow for the creation to be what it has to be.

Virgos are fast when it comes to learning, like supremely fast.

It shocks me at times, their like walking computers at best. Carrying a lot of data and information and being able to use it at any given time. Wordsmiths and literal dictionaries in their minds. If they were in a rap battle and perfected their crafts they'd be the 'Rap God' like Eminem (id say this for Geminis as well).

There is a thing with being too grounded, too practical, and too into reality at times. Its okay to relax into the wonders of your mind. Just like your sisters Pisces, you guys need to sit back and let the mind take you to the many worlds that are in your psyche. You are hear to bring your ideas/thoughts to reality. being of service is one of the ways you shine, so with your ideas be it writing novels, creating art, jewelry or simply being a nurturer is the way you come of service to others.

I love y'all and I hope this helps !

TC Scourge is so interesting tho. How does he play out or effect the narrative? Does he go more clan life and change his name or does he act like a changer who gets the clans to see that outsiders aren’t lesser? I think he could be such a good character in like TBC especially as a rebel. I’m very interested in this idea

I'm glad you asked! I do actually have a point with it, and it's the more "fun" option between two choices I have at a certain point.

I'll try to summarize this and keep the BIG overview for its own post;

BloodClan is much older, forming back during the end of Oakstar's rule

It's neutral now, no longer pure evil. It does good things (distributes resources, protects from invasion, saves cats from abusive and neglectful living conditions) as well as bad things (demands service and/or tribute, gruesome punishments for stealing and disobedience, rigid pecking order)

Scourge is the newest in a line of rulers. Instead of being EVIL he's just very politically savvy, having inherited a large and brutal group.

The BloodClan battle happens because Tigerstar PROMISED them land and Scourge is sick of Clan cats not respecting them

So, in any case, Scourge is NOT dying at the battle. Firestar defeats him honorably, and engages in diplomacy with BloodClan afterwards. Everyone involved is mixed about this, but it works out well at the destruction of the forest where BloodClan absorbs the warriors who are staying behind and provides aid.

The Choice

So the crossroads will come during the period concurrent with Firestar's Quest/Quietus, the part where there was a power struggle between Snake, Ice, Claw, and Rage. In the rewrite I'm combining all the BloodClan power plots into one-- Scourge choosing a successor.

My initial draft was to give him a progressive disease that was going to kill him early, but with some small tweaking, it could just be him getting tired of leadership.

So my choice is that he dies here (much more compliant with canon) or he ultimately joins ThunderClan and accompanies them to the Lake.

Why though?

Because I want him to play a role with Hollyleaf.

In addition to it just being generally fun that there's this very quiet ex-mobster boss hanging out in the background just enjoying life, he would be an uncle figure in PO3.

I think Hollyleaf's struggle with outsiders is really interesting, and since I'm probably going to reduce Stormfur and Brook's role in ThunderClan due to Tribe reworks, there is an opening for him to squeeze in. Hollyleaf is able to look between the obedience the code demands, the way the Clans see outsiders as being soft, and have a real, hard example that this is not true because of Scourge.

He will be old by this point, old enough to not soak up too much attention from younger warriors, but still has that good old BloodClan skill in his claws when it's required. That aside he would generally be a quiet loner type, quite close to Goldenflower, probably accepting a clan name (he'd see it as respecting the culture) but not correcting anyone when they call him Scourge.

He would die sometime between OOTS and AVOS, possibly of that progressive disease or even going down in a blaze of glory during the Great Battle (Tigerstar getting a rematch would be SUPER fun!) and he would become a ghost, not joining StarClan. Tree gets to see him a couple of times, and he would be there for Squirrelflight's Hope instead of the random kittypet, Blade.

#Scourge #BloodClan #Bonefall Rewrite #I tried to keep this short I swear but I wanted to make sure there was enough context #Initial response was OVERWHELMINGLY positive btw so I am leaning towards it as one of my 'pleasure picks' if that makes sense #But thoughts? Input? #OH GOLDENFLOWER is also going to live longer. Elder's Den is getting bigger. #And Longtail isn't even RETIRED retired in my rewrite... just given the space to chill and learn how to live with his blindness #So ThunderClan needs ACTUAL elders #As for warrior names I'm undecided. I see Icestrike go around a lot as an AU name for a warrior Scourge #I feel like Ice is used a lot as a contrast to Fire which could be pretty cool #Iceheart could be a really neat name to compliment Fireheart even more #He usually refers to his old name like ''They used to call me Scourge back in those days'' #''Back when I was Scourge'' #''In BloodClan I made them all call me Scourge. As in a Scourge on the name of good cats.'' #He also loses his collar completely but probably wears a necklace with the first dog tooth #I imagine his neck is also scarred where the collar was too small for his throat and chaffed it raw #I also like to think he's a bit of a craftsman

I’m on a bit of a book nook/bookshelf insert kick. (I like ones that show outdoors or have a window because it’s like a second tiny window in your room.) If you could get a bookshelf insert of anything, what would it be? (It’s a pretty cool Google image search or YouTube skim if you have no clue what I’m talking about. 😅 )

Ooh, yeah I've heard a bit about those! I love tiny things, and I love books, so if I had the money and space, I would totally get some.

I'm also obsessed with old-fashioned aesthetics (particularly anything from the Victorian-era), so I think I would go for something influenced by the Thorne rooms.

If you've never heard of them, they're a series of miniature rooms (on a perfect 1:12 scale!) designed in the 1930s and inspired by various interior design styles across American and European history.

(There are 99 still around-- 68 are on display at the Chicago Art Institute, 20 are in the Phoenix Art Museum, nine are at the Knoxville Museum of Art, there's one in the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, and the last one is at Kaye Miniature Museum of Los Angeles. I've haven't had a chance to see all of them in person yet, but someday.)

Here are some photos so you have an idea of what kind of aesthetic I'm talking about:

You get the idea. (I recommend doing your own research. They're amazing.)

Anyway, if I could get this exact aesthetic compressed into a narrow book nook and put on my self, I would be a very happy woman.

#book nook #thoughts #thorne rooms #aesthetic #i actually originally learnt about these rooms years ago through a children's book series called 'the sixty-eight rooms' #about these kids in chicago who can shrink down and use the rooms to travel to the time periods they're based on #i remember very little about the series other than the premise (i should reread them) #but they sparked my interest #thanks for the ask! #in all honestly i would actually love to LIVE in a real house with these exact vibes #someday i want to live in a victorian and/or craftsman style house #all queued up

In a time of careless touches & selfish wander,

Vandalised walls, were sacred, lay bare.

What bloomed in mornings dew,

Dulled, tamed by pilgrams unaware.

What gleamed in midnight's light

Vitiated by Insensitive meander & siphon stare

An amusement, a spectacle, a theoretical jest,

Your quivers are for game,affection mere pleasantry.

Addicted to wordplay, they are jewels in your ear.

Yet the commotion of the heart yearns the elementary.

A time meaning dripped like honey,

A season a sanctuary bled vulnerability

A day dream, a crave bitter sweet,

You've known enough, a bellowed soliloquy,

Caresses dipped in promised care, a stimulus,

A dead flame, sought an empty surrender.

A conditioned crave for adulterated intimacy,

Magnify a pallet adorned in pretense & adventure.

Relinquishing home, in pursuits of apogee,

What is Odyssey, a forsaken earnest hunger

Patience, a love deficient on your skin,

Knowing you whole, a philosophy opaque to remiss souls,

I honor you with my hands, a coveted liberation, for a canvas latent in wonder, an unrefined gold

A taboo, To enagge without conviction,

my raison dêtre, unveils the divine secrets of old.

A craftsman, a creator, an author, an artisan of sorts,

Dedicated to paint & brush, Avidity unleash its hold

A pottor graced clay, a nurtured form,

Nakedness, immorality housed in clothes, unfold.

Bewitched by curiosity & wonder,

& all its galore,

Story of anticipation, a love composed.

The tales that lay beneath skin,

an opus, a bible, a scroll, I'm eager to know.

Sunk deep in service exploring your mahogany hue.

Prune & chisel, a sculptures honest desire,

To discover life in stone, intricacies of bone&tissue.

Intrigued in details weaved, a blemished tapestry

& divulge tales untold, shielded in a flowered venue.

flesh flustered by discernment, Goosebumps

A response to heavens sagacious residue.

A devout healer, for what rests in my hands,

I'm called to nurture, effleurage, Petrissage.

Therapeutic art, a pride, a Smith,

A preserver of beauty hidden by pillage.

Exploring culture in the curves of scars,

Concealed knowledge and indomitable heritage,

A fabric, a woman, a shell of the heavens,

A palm, an embrace, my delicate clay.

1/2 Do you believe in magic? Are you superstitious?

if magic isn't real how do you explain his holy presence

#the concept of magic yeah sure #always been interested in just how people came up with that. no matter where you find it the base idea seems to be 'a force unseen' #and i'd say on some level that does exist- but at least for me #it's more in the form of when you're sitting outside on a roof at night #or in the rain hearing music and atmosphere leaking out of nearby buildings #or seeing a craftsman putting the finishing touches on their art #or meeting eyes with an animal in an unlikely place for just a second before it disappears #or looking up at the sky and thinking. huh. that's pretty fucking big isn't it. goes pretty far. wonder who got the idea to go to the moon #at the risk of sounding overly trite. it's just a nameless something #superstitious on the other hand i wouldn't reeeaallly say so #but maybe at least a little? i have ocd you gotta cut me some slack 💀 #weirdest one i have is blinking a certain amount of times when i wanna replace a thought #but that's less on the Poetic And Ethereal side so much as it is disruptive and mildly irritating. oh well

Maybe they could have given Yingxing the craftmaster clothes in the Ichor of Two Dragons short

#Yes I am still thinking of little other than craftsman Yingxing #And yes I am giving a walk around the Artisanship Commission again #Taking screenshots of what Master Gongshu has to say this time #I had interacted with him before but I didn't recall his frustration about the long-life species' lethargy when it comes to learning #due to the promised long time‚ and how it makes them lose their drive #And his admiration for shortlife species in that context #He talks about how the mastery of craftsmanship in particular requires long time #and how that's the reason why most of not everyone in the Artisanship Commission is Xianzhou native as opposed to foxian or vidyadhara #In this context‚ Yingxing becomes even more resilient #For real every new interaction I get in the Xianzhou makes me love him more‚well beyond the point at which I thought I had reached the peak #Master Gongshu also talked about the species invested in the path of Erudition that nonetheless live but a dozen of years or so #How one time one individual of such species came to study on the Xianzhou Luofu #and Master Gongshu dropped everything else to devote his time to them #It made me think of the Trailblaze Mission at the end of 1.3‚ how when saying goodbye to him Master Gongshu doesn't seem very hopeful #about seeing us again because tshrs his experience with his shortlife apprentices‚ and how it seems to cause him grief and weight him down #Of course that farewell also made me think of Yingxing back then #Anyway... I love that despite his he acknowledges the almost need for a long life to become a craftmaster Gongshu isn't at all judgmental #about shortlife species nor does he look down on them. I think it shows in his character a lot #and I think it is coherent in the context of his frustrations with his students #I also love that Fu Xuan makes similar comments about shortlife species. I adore that in the middle of arguably most people looking down #on short life species many people‚ many of which closely related to erudite positions‚ don't look down on them #In the case of Master Gongshu it also brings to mind Master Huaiyan I think. And I think it's all on purpose! #I adore how this game settles the information without clearly but without shoving it on your face #Master Gongshu also talks about how for them the beauty and intricacy of what they create is as much a need as its usefulness #and I loved that and it also made me think of Yingxing #I wondered how he was able to make a delicate jade flask if he was mainly a blacksmith #and I just brushed off the idea as typical fiction thing‚ but it is coherent in the context of the worldbuilding and ajdksbjd #It's not the first time this game does that and I love when it surprises me this way #(like with Jingliu having her movements be too light and then discovering her sword doesn't weight at all) #Master Gongshu specialises in civilian auromatons‚ which we know for Mr. Xiao that's a dying branch. And it also made me think of Yingxing
