I think in season 2 we may find out more on why Loki hasn't truly cracked the surface of his powers.
In my head i feel with Asgard like in norse mythos(correct me if I'm somewhat off), the practice of seidr it's looked down upon for men to use it, that and the fact that no one actually treated Loki with much respect it must have been pretty hard to branch out.
His mother taught him and Frigga is very supportive of him but maybe being in the royal family Odin also might've shunned or berated Loki as it could've made him look bad(despite the odinforce literally being of magical origin so hypocrisy and such running wild with him...as always).
And not just Loki's magic but also the frost giant abilities. Like ice manipulation, self hatred could also have stunted him from learning more about those(also correct me if the ice powers of the frost giants are considered seidr cause I've been going with them just being natural powers he could have)
All this also makes me wonder what Classic Loki's backstory was, cause it seemed like most of his events were in the same order as ours but he loathes daggers and such, like what lead him to learning more about his sorcery.
Who knows, but with everything that's going on I really do want to see Loki exploring his potential, maybe even going through tva files of other versions of himself to learn stuff. What do you guys think?

I like to think that the days leading up to Aang and Katara's wedding, the members of team Avatar each pulled Aang off to the side on separate occasions to give him the "if you hurt her, I will hurt you" speech and by the time Toph did it did he finally says " I get it we all love and care for katara, why do you all have such little faith in me, what have I ever done to make you think I would purposely hurt katara"

hot take: you cannot believe in both God and global warming/ climate change being a bad thing. He put us on this beautiful earth and we are not a mistake. we are living here naturally. God knows all - His plan is perfect - trust in Him. of course the climate changes, as is natural. and of course don't litter or live in constant gluttony or wastefulness. but you have to know that God created us with intention and we do belong here ♡

Thinking about how, at the end of the day, at the fatal moment, the sunset of the Republic, it wasn’t Yoda, or Obi-Wan, or even the Chosen One himself standing in the way of Palpatine. It was Mace Windu.
Mace Windu, the inventor of Vaapad and Master of Form VII, the Jedi's strongest duelist, the only person to ever defeat Palpatine in combat. Mace Windu, Master of the Jedi Council and the youngest Master ever appointed to it, the revered leader of the Order. Mace Windu, who forgave even those who tried to kill him, who risked his life over and over again for his troops, who, after 3 years of desperate war, tried to negotiate with battle droids. Mace Windu, who knew the clones were created by the Sith and chose to trust them, who saw every Shatterpoint in the Republic, and loved it still, and fought for it until his last breath, until he was betrayed by Anakin, who he believed in and trusted despite everything.
Mace Windu, High General and hero of the Republic, the embodiment of the Light, the last and greatest champion of the Order, the best Jedi to ever live.

i keep saying this in different ways but i truly just adore arthur lester. he's the most resilient little bug in the whole world. nothing can keep him down. he is filled with rage and grief and joy and hope. he should've died so many times by now, but he cannot. his sheer fucking spirit and will has carried him through unimaginable horrors and it will carry him further

hey. hey. you there. religious jew who wants to do so well because you truly do love g-d and you see His presence everywhere and you have faith in Him and He gives you everything. yes, you. if you're not a religious jew you can read this too this just isn't geared towards you.
ok now that i have your attention read this: g-d knows you. He made your body and your soul and He understands it fully. there's gonna be some times where you can't commit to something, where you can't fulfill that mitzvah. maybe you've got an amazing new job that will pay the rent and the bills youve been struggling with for months but you need to work shabbat. maybe you cant say prayers or blessings in public bc you dont feel safe to speak hebrew outside of your own home. maybe you struggle to keep up a routine and have a hard time with daily mitzvot. whatever it is i promise Hashem does not hate you and does not see you as a failure.
i definitely understand being a perfectionist and wanting to go all out. to show that you are fully devoted and that you appreciate Him at every point in your life. also lets be real sometimes you just wanna prove to yourself that you can do all these little things and that you have the discipline to do it. or you wanna impress someone else you admire. that's completely normal and those emotions are part of what makes us human (however those can be signs of underlying mental health issues so pls talk to someone if you need!). anyway, Hashem doesnt mind that we can't do it all all the time. sometimes we can't do it all ever. He knows that something is always better than nothing. we were given the gift of life, of food, of being jewish, of the torah, of everything else by g-d and we can express our gratefulness for that in so many ways and they are all important.
g-d is not that shitty teacher you had in middle school who judged you in front of the class every time your essay wasnt an A+. He created everything and gave us the joy of life and is here to guide us through us. He made us human with all of our possible emotions because that is what we are meant to be. we are meant to be flawed and without that we wouldnt even be people anymore. you're gonna have shitty days, weeks, months, even years and He understands that and even if you can only do tiny things it still matters.

They actually arrest Dazai again after everything is over because the crimes he committed are real and then Chuuya shows up as his lawyer at the court
