When you don’t listen to your gut feeling about someone and don’t pay attention to the red flags , you suffer the consequences.

"Oh, God Almighty! I just want to go on being me! I'm on very good terms with myself. I've had a wonderful life, a terrific life. I've done all the things that I've wanted to do. When I was just out of high school I couldn't do anything. I couldn't write a decent poem, I couldn't write a short story, I couldn't write a play, I couldn't write an essay, I couldn't write a screenplay. So one by one, over the years, by staying in love, I became a poet, I became a short story writer, I became a novelist, I became a screenwriter--but it was all love, you see?"

-- Ray Bradbury

I love Ray a lot. Not necessarily for the stories he wrote as much as how he wrote; with pure joy, and love. I just have one question… how could he find his desk? 🙈🤷‍♀️🤣💓💓💓💓

I just saw a post saying “Mexicans will really laugh at your pain.”

……………Ain’t that the truth🫠

It’s been proven to me time & time again, people DONT REALLY CARE until it happens TO THEM OR SOMEONE THEY REEEEALLY LOVE!

⭐️& before y’all try to come at me, that’s just my OPINION BASED ON WHAT IVE SEEN & EXPERIENCED‼️ & I’m probably guilty of doing that too. I’m not saying other races don’t do this, this is just the post that I saw & really got me thinking.⭐️

“Well they didn’t do it to me.” — THATS AN IMPORTANT ONE‼️

“I wasn’t there, so I’m not going to say anything or take sides.” — This one could be debatable.

“_____ doesn’t look like they would do something like that.” - To that I say, “Believe HALF of what you HEAR, & NONE of what you SEE!”🤫

“You’re not my family.” — An eye opener TRULY.

“You have a mental illness, why would I believe you?” — Did you ever stop to think that maybe THATS the reason they took advantage??

There was a time, when I basically asked, “Would you like to be warned about a person?”

Everyone that responded said YES! All thought that I should have warned the person.

I’m stuck cause I’m the type of person that likes to see for myself, -which now that I think about it; is probably the reason why I get into A LOT of BULLSHIT!- , but I’m also the type of person that would like to now if a person did something to someone else because that says a lot too. Also I like to look out for others the best I can tbh, but I try not to meddle too much because we all have to go through lessons.

Now, after the fact, it’s up to you to figure out what’s the truth & what’s not. The reality is, unless you were there, you can’t choose what’s right or wrong. There are even some occasions where you’re there & you still don’t understand the truth because you DONT WANT TO ACCEPT IT! You just have to go through your lesson the way you’re meant to learn it….I had to learn that last part the hard way tbh…I hope you don’t have to cause it’s hard, but you know what J. Cole said, “There’s beauty in the struggle, ugliness in the success.”

It’s great if you understand what I’m saying, but if you don’t; don’t be shy to say your truth. I’d like to view this in a new light😏

#god #learn #pay attention #behavior #insight #observe #peace #teach #what are you willing to tolerate?#content warning #triggering content #trigger warning #say what you feel #don’t be afraid #follow your gut #listen to your intuition

The heart or the mind

There is a long-lasting debate about whether to follow your heart or mind. Well, no one knows! If you ask me, I would say, when in doubt, follow your heart. Yes, your heart can be stupid, and following it can lead to many painful heartbreaks, but just remember that life is short and, at the end of the day, only the experience matters. As far as the mind is concerned, follow it when you're unsure of the situation. Follow your gut and don't ignore the voice inside you, even if everyone around you is against it.

Pura Vida!

#follow your heart #follow your gut #followyourmind #heart #mind #soul #love #heartbreaks

Day 25

Things are changing around me. I’ve started asking for what I want instead of doing what I think people want. And they are open to it. Happy to join, happy to follow my lead. It is seeping in to everything around me. I’ve started talking to my family honestly instead of just saying what I think they want to hear. Where I thought I should cower or act as if I felt the same to spare their feelings, would usually turn into them putting pressure on me or guilting me, but now I don’t match their feelings, I say how I really feel and the guilt, the pressure, may come my way a little but because I know how I really feel about it - because I spoke it out loud - I can see it as a projection or even a tease and it doesn’t permeate within me. It’s wild how everything is so cliche - it just takes a perspective change (which comes with time) to see how it really works. Truly you have to trust yourself, trust your vision, trust that you know what is best for you.

My whole life I have wanted people to take me seriously, only to realize it was me I wanted to take seriously. I wanted I to take I seriously. Not in a no playing, work all day, strict outlines type of way - but in a yes your ideas are valid, yes your wants are valid, yes this is your life and how you want to spend your time kind of way. Follow through, follow through, follow through.

Perspective sucks eyeballing shit is good and valid and we should do that more often

#bearz rambling tag #keep perspective in mind is important #but if you follow too strictly to the perspective line it makes your drawing boring #my brain is sleeping rb so my heart is talking #and my gut #and probably my liver(?#perspective scares artist away from doing background #but when you really get into it you’ll realize it doesn’t really matter that much

Time travel is pretty op in League, and doubly so in Arcane, the drawbacks might be devastating tho.

This exchange always comes to mind because it's so ironic, Ekko does that all the time with the Z-Drive he just doesn't have it right now. For the concept to then be straightforwardly called out as dangerous just screams dark foreshadowing to people (Ekko) who practice it.

Ekko even has a real voice line where he jokes about the after-effects of time travel.

#arcane #ekko arcane #ekko #ekko is such a well of angst #it's already a mindfuck to literally experience other timelines none of your companions remember or expeirenced #so you there's a lingering feeling that you can't be sure it happened #but you have this power and you KNOW it did but some timelines are SO horrible why bother believing it happened #now include the possibility of BRAIN DAMAGE #and even if he noticed Ekko would still keep going becuz if he had the opportunity to change things from going wrong he'd take it #look at what happened with cait and the crystal he wanted to use it and was steered away #Ekko's probably going to be more reluctant to listen to other's caution and follow his gut #arcane meta #ekko lol #league of legends

Nothing better than having 2 favourite characters who are destined to kill each other every time <3

i say this as if I didn't love almost everyone connected to the Hachetfield-verse but the 50/50 survival chance for either of them is special to me personally okay

A Gothic Tale of Two Weird Old Men: Dracula, Van Helsing, Ignorance and Obedience

So, we’ve gotten to the garlic flowers. And the first point in the novel where, on my first read, I felt a tiny prickle of recognition and unease. This section in particular made a little exclamation point pop up over my head:

"Oh, Professor, I believe you are only putting up a joke on me. Why, these flowers are only common garlic."

To my surprise, Van Helsing rose up and said with all his sternness, his iron jaw set and his bushy eyebrows meeting:—

"No trifling with me! I never jest! There is grim purpose in all I do; and I warn you that you do not thwart me. Take care, for the sake of others if not for your own." Then seeing poor Lucy scared, as she might well be, he went on more gently: "Oh, little miss, my dear, do not fear me. I only do for your good; but there is much virtue to you in those so common flowers. See, I place them myself in your room. I make myself the wreath that you are to wear. But hush! no telling to others that make so inquisitive questions. We must obey, and silence is a part of obedience; and obedience is to bring you strong and well into loving arms that wait for you.”

Now, full stop, Abraham Van Helsing means well. He’s a heroic old dude driven by goodwill—and, we can assume later, perhaps a bit of personal history with this particular malady. We’re going to see in later chapters that he is absolutely down to fight for far more than just Lucy and his protégé’s sake. Better still, he provides a great foil against the common themes that so far endanger characters who get in Dracula’s path. Skeptics are endangered because they only acknowledge the truth of the bogeyman in their midst when it’s too late while the frightened believers are too paralyzed by the threat to make a move. Van Helsing combines the Scientific with the Mystic, acknowledges both as equally important, and uses them to his advantage.

Knowledge is power and all that. Dracula really does get away with most of the shit he does half the time because his victims don’t know what they’re dealing with. (The other half of the time, it’s because he’s just bulldozing through victims on a spree, RIP Demeter crew.)

The Count is usually the one holding all the cards and using his advantages to cause harm. Van Helsing brings his own intel and uses it to help to the best of his ability.

That being said?

(Mild spoilers below)

The first time I read through Dracula—and, honestly, every time since—I can’t help picking up on how precariously close Van Helsing treads to the Count’s M.O. of manipulation and Dramatic Withholding of Information with his young charges. Granted, I can let some of it slide via the, ‘But no one would believe me if I said it was a vampire! I had to keep quiet about my reasons!’ excuse.*

*(But, sir, could you not conjure up some convincing medical-sounding bullshit?? It’s the 1890s, they would have bought anything. In fact, why was it only down to you and Jack keeping watch, Dr. Drama? There’s a whole house staff here. Yes, fine, there’s Mom with her weakheartitis, but as long as you spin it as some minor irritation that needs checking in on for updates, it should be fine. And why does Lucy have to keep quiet about the flowers? Why can’t she say it’s for her sleep? Or her health? Or a good luck charm from the doctor, it would be Terribly Rude to Be Rid of Them (read: Against every Victorian bone in hers and Mama Westenra’s body to chuck them). Anyway.)

Without giving too much away, I feel Stoker kind of tips Van Helsing’s charisma points a little too far over the edge in future scenes. Mixed up in a shitton of future The Power of Christ Compels You! overtones, there is a lot of frankly bonkers acting from the rest of the cast when it comes to interactions with/gratitude to Van Helsing for [REDACTED] reasons.

As in, characters are going to start kissing the ground this old man walks on. (metaphoric)

And kissing his hands. (Literal. Yes, Godfather style.)

Dracula was lucky to get flipped off by his Brides. Van Helsing will have these youths rally around him and Every Syllable He Breathes as if it were actual factual gospel (which some is, naturally). With a notable exception in a very livid Jonathan Harker when we get to [REDACTED]. Shout out once more to Bram Flakes for accidentally making this solicitor man Spicy+ after certain events.

Most of me wants to believe Van Helsing’s effect on the others is just Bramarama Stoker pouring all his personal fantasies of being the Lauded and Heroic Professor Doctorman (who happens to share his name, no big deal, ha ha) into this character while the others sing his praises.

But the lit critic in me sees an uncomfortable amount of parallels between Dracula’s casual arcane actions, gaslighting and coercing with Jonathan and Van Helsing’s likewise casual mysterious measures, corralling, directing, and borderline mesmerizing the rest of the cast to follow his lead exclusively, with or without offering the full details of the situation, as we see with Lucy. He’s a good man and an interesting character, but there are Some Scenes that make me wonder if he isn’t using some kind of lowkey hypnotism to make things run a little smoother in the vampire hunter brigade.

#I know I know he was genuine about trying to help #but like...#...the wording and the way he backpedals kind of Does Not sit well with me; even knowing he's a good guy #if we transplanted the dialogue to the start of the novel and it was Dracula trying to get Jonathan to do something For His Own Good #like say: writing a bunch of false letters ~for convenience/safety's sake~#it'd be a little more gut-churning #plus there's the framework of Lucy trying to be a Good Friend/Patient/Obedient Victorian Girl being overseen by two male doctors #(who are good guys! who are taking her seriously! but stilll...)#and she's being told to Do This Thing for Reasons; Reasons Van Helsing does not explain (or even give a plausible lie for)#followed by telling her not to talk about it??#how would you react if your doctor gave you some mystery medicine/folk remedy #didn't tell you what it was really for (after you called bullshit about the first reason he made up for it (because you're not an idiot))#and then ordered you to use it and Not Tell Anyone About Why You Have It #fun and kooky doctor or not I'd be a little fucking worried #anyway #ramble #abraham van helsing #lucy westenra #dracula #dracula daily
