No, you don't understand. "Love means you see someone, that's all" is such an important quote. For both, Dru and Ty.

Like, throughout TDA Dru felt invisible. Too young to fight but old enough to feel left aside. She's resolved to put herself in danger on her own if that means she can help in any way that matters. Even in TWP she hides her panic attacks, and probably so many other ways her trauma affected her.

And Ty, he dreams of being a detective and solving mysteries. He's always been the one trying to understand the world, but the only people who ever tried to understand him were his family.

They both see. They both are comfortable and used to it. But to be seen? I bet it's gonna be pretty epic.

#im sure i could've worded it better but im just at 15% of LM :P #also i do hope cassie makes it a recurrent theme in twp cuz i want to write an essay about this #like?? ash's grown to be meticulous and careful of the ppl around him always in the middle of politics HES THE KIND OF SEEING RIGHT THRU YOU #and kit is a liar built up with secrets (a mystery you could call him) but he has also grown to analyze and understand ppl around him #THE MATERIAL IS THERE!!! #i need twp so much #kit herondale #cassandra clare #kit herondale my beloved #lady midnight #the dark artifices #tda rereading #the wicked powers #dru blackthorn #ty blackthorn #drusilla blackthorn #tiberius blackthorn #ash morgenstern #the wicked powers conspiracy theories #the shadowhuter chronicles #the last king of faerie

honestly when i tried to figure out why some fans are so mad at ivypool these days i was looking through avos and. the scene where ivypool apologises to twigpaw for not supporting sending a patrol for skyclan is genuinely very sweet??

i actually saw someone characterize this as "ivypool forcing twigpaw to forgive her". is it crack you smoke. is that what you smoke. you smoke crack?

#she apologises THREE SEPARATE TIMES #she acknowledges that dovewing and tigerheart's situation made her ignore twigpaw's feelings #she reassures twigpaw that this is the right thing for the clans. she tells her she's proud of her & tc is lucky to have her #you guys do understand that to apologise you have to Do Something Wrong?? or is that the part that's so unforgivable? #i am fASCINATED by the treatment of dove and ivy by the fans in recent years #i'm still pondering it but i think there are a few root causes #1) I think a lot of people read oots as kids and hated dove & identified with ivy because of the underdog storyline #maybe this fandom worship of dovewing is kinda part of that? wanting to feel like you've grown out of fandom misogyny? #but i also feel like 2) tigerdove has really increased dovewing's popularity #and i think because ivypool is so staunchly opposed to their relationship people then have to villainise ivypool #3) is maybe too spicy of a take but to be honest #i think people are subconsciously way more comfortable with a woman whose story ends in heterosexual marriage and childrearing #dovewing's mom role in TBC to shadowsight probably helped her popularity #so ivypool whose relationship w Fernsong & her kits is much less of a focus. and is mUCH less maternal #and who still exhibits Ugly Female Emotions like anger and hurt #and who God Forbid now holds a position of authority... #is too complicated to fit into :) she's such a good mom :) she's such a good mate #dovewing is easier to like because she tends to be a victim of circumstances (🤫 and often lacks agency in her storylines) #since ivypool regularly uses her agency to Fuck Up #fans revert to idealising dovewing because not only is she too good to do bad things. she also doesn't do Things in general #never mind that ivypool is the one who sacrifices and apologises #anyway <3 i think if i made a full analysis of ivy and dove post OOTS i would get too many spicy anons so i will cower in the tags

Soapstone is soft enough to be carved with hand tools. With practice and some guidance, a piece can be transformed into anything you can imagine. It's no wonder the art dates back thousands of years.

If you've never tried carving soapstone before, these Studiostone Creative animal kits are a great way for ages 8 to 108 to get started with this age-old activity. Designed and made in British Columbia by two Canadian sculptors, the kits come with everything you need, including a kid-safe carving file.

There are over a dozen animals to choose from; our favorites are definitely on my gift list. 🐻🐧🦁🐘🐈 PS. They have jewelry kits, too.

Even if there was no way to escape being haunted by this impurity, I didn’t want to let you go, so I kept gripping onto your hand.

Until the day eventually comes where we can choose that unavoidable separation, this light from tens of thousands of years in the past will continue to guide my path. I’ll grieve you, with the lamp lighting my descent to the underworld.

i watched the kenobi finale. now i need a fic where obi is being terrorized by qui gon, tahl, and feemor. they're all ghosts. they're all sassy as hell. obi wan hardly knows feemor but feemor knows everything about him because master won't freaking shut up. feemor's also happy obi wan's depression arc is over because tahl and jinn can finally get married. i lived with them 10 years, obi wan. it was hell, obi wan. i've been shipping them since i was 13, obi wan. they also get into silly arguments all the time and they always look after obi wan. did you drink water, obi? did you sleep well? look i made you breakfast:))) they're roasting everyone obi ever fights because lmao, what a loser. obi, beat his ass. obi, your stance is a bit off, just a bit, you need more practice. also don't forget to drink water. they have conversations. there's a lot they need to talk about. apologies are made, apologies are accepted. obi wan finally starts feeling like he's home.

#obi wan #obi wan kenobi #one time obi asks where xanatos at and qui gon drops 'he's in the timeout' #sometimes bant drops by but she mainly lives with kit and aayla #when obi wan kills maul the man gets instantly harrassed by three grown up ghosts #it almost drives him alive but he refuses to live #when obi gets ghosted they go and harrass yoda together #ghosted anakin is put in timeout #feemor #qui gon jinn #tahl #star wars

What are your asoue hypotheses??

you need to remember that I was 9 years old and the series hadn't even finished yet, and my friends and I were absolutely obsessed with all the books' mysteries. there was so much that hadn't been answered, mainly the nature of VFD and what the letters even stood for, and pretty much all of our hypotheses were based on trying to work out what VFD stood for and what it did. we were also, to some extent or another, convinced that maybe VFD was totally real, and of course we all wanted to be associates.

so my journal at the time was a kind of commonplace book, like what Klaus kept in the series, and as well as stuff about my day I would write down theories I had about VFD, things I'd decoded (or thought I had), notes about potential VFD members trying to approach me, Olaf sightings, that kind of thing. so you can see why this journal of mine was password protected with a hex. top secret theorising in there.

#as for my theories now i'm a grown-up... #the father of kit snicket's child is secretly olaf #and violet baudelaire is lemony's child #scandal everywhere you won't convince me otherwise #that death scene with kit and olaf? #how much like lemony violet is? #the fact that both their names have something to do with colour? #[tapping the note-and -string-covered wall like your man on it's always sunny] what's not clicking #anon #asks

i wonder if part of the seeming-illiteracy i complain about when it comes to how fans understand many warriors characters is a product of how the series is compartmentalized?

people form an opinion on a character's actions in one arc, then they form an opinion of how they behave in another arc, and then they try to combine these two opinions -- and so if in the first arc, the fan's opinion is negative, then in the second, the character makes amends and grows, and the fan forms a positive opinion, the result isn't "this character did bad things and then grew as a person" it's "this character has done some good things and some bad things and should continue to be held accountable for all of the bad things"

a great deal of it is also the mindset that "sin"/any mistakes fudamentally stains you as a person, so no matter how much you repent or change, you are still a bad person -- and also that "bad thoughts" are, if not as condemnable as "bad actions", still something the character must be persecuted for and atone over. notice how these are both christian frameworks of wrongdoing.

maybe because we go back and forth so often in the timeline, we end up with this character-development-soup where any action a character took in the 4th arc is still just as relevant to who they are as the action they took in the 6th arc. it's hard to discuss "ivypool" when i don't even know if the people i'm talking to have read avos, tigerheart's shadow, the broken code, AND the Thunder excerpt, or if we're arguing over OOTS ivypool and one post they read on tumblr

an example of this timeline-soup fallibility in my own analysis is how i think about Blossomfall's age in comparison to Thornclaw's. i think of OOTS as "my era" because it's the series that was coming out when i got into the books as a kid. So, Blossomfall in my imagination is almost always OOTS Blossomfall.

Therefore, when I try to reconcile "blossomfall and thornclaw are a couple" with the OOTS Blossomfall that lives in my brain, alarm bells go off. It's hard to factor in the timeskip between OOTS and AVOS because i'm still subconsciously living in OOTS.

anyway, it's just something to think about

#wc meta #this is like. Meta meta. i'm thinking about How we think about the characters as a fanbase #and how the way the series is organized might contribute to that #i think there are a lot of other factors too but i feel like not all arcs are created equal #some hold more weight in your imagination #so the events and characters kinda override other arcs' contents #blossomthorn's age gap still makes me uncomfortable because she's barely older than his grandnieces #she's also completely a grown up by AVOS so there's nothing actually on-paper Wrong with them getting together #it's just a sticky gray area of getting together with someone who has been well into adulthood before you were even born #nevermind that he's old enough to be her dad. he's old enough to be her grandfather #he's a few months younger than her father and she's closer in age to her kits than she is to him #etc etc etc #it doesn't make it de facto unhealthy or inappropriate. it's just. a bit uncomfortable

The newborn kit sprites are so dang cute

#warrior cats #warrior cats clangen #these are not the kits mentioned before (those three are already grown up now)

So, I've seen a few posts mentioning "middle aged women fetishising Kit Connor". Since I am a so called "middle aged woman", I'm not going to do that. Instead, I'll ask this: Where is the 20 year older Kit Connor? Does he exist? If so, please let me know. Over and out. Yours sincerely/ Middle aged woman

We’ve bought a few different geode kits over the years and had a lot of fun cracking them open. Plus, you never know what you’re going to get. It’s a great experience. And now it comes in larger sizes: National Geographic’s Jumbo Geodes kit. 

If you want more geodes at a smaller size, they’ve got that, too. Smaller ones make an excellent birthday party activity and then the kids can take their geodes home. Sparkly science FTW.

Buy these geodes

Thinks again about how horns could theoretically grow

#I keep my shit inconsistent bc what looks coolest varies on the design #kit’s horns grow from the base which is why they’ve gotten progressively wider #mawris’s would’ve grown mostly at the curve more than the upright bit #ransom’s horns grow at the curled bit much faster than at the bend at the top #the dahlia family’s horns mostly just get bigger but the curve also gets wider by some logic so they don’t end up spiraling #uh #Variah’s grow from where they root to the head. they’re gonna get progressively more twisty #jester’s horns grow at the ends- they used to be separate but have connected at the ends. but they’ll always be close to the scalp #anyways. for lil details that will never come up but I think through anyways. horns
