Yeah it’s cool and all that Lyanna Mormont and Wylla Manderly are such vocal Stark loyalists. But it’s actually quite important that they share names with two of the most important women in Jon Snow’s life: Lyanna Stark - his mother, and Wylla - his wetnurse and rumored mother in universe. Such stunning loyalty from these two girls who are named after women so important to Jon just tickles all the key parts of my brain. These are the women who gave him life. And it’s even more poignant when we realize that by ADWD, when the girls are declaring their loyalty, Jon is the KiTN who bears the name STARK per Robb’s decree.
another hope for the bear s3 is exploring carmys “celebrity chef” status. i don’t really consider this a plot hole because, it seems like carmy just quit EMP quietly and took off to chicago to run the Beef so no one would really know where he went off to after he left new york.
but i find it kinda weird how he was the most excellent CDC at the most excellent restaurant in the entire USA, but we don’t really get to see the extent of that or it’s not really talked about by anyone other than Sydney or Pete (aw😭)
obv famous chefs irl aren’t being stopped in the streets bc no one really knows them unless they are apart of that world too. but i do think now that Carmy is more publicly starting this venture with the Bear, we get to explore and have more perspective on his career overall
this has been explored in fics as well and i’m really hoping the writers don’t abandon this
Vulcans who’ve become so good at regulating their emotions that they still have a pretty good hold on them even when compromised, like under the influence of chocolate, and being quietly happy about that fact
And
Human partners/friends/coworkers/etc, not just other Vulcans, understanding how important it is to the Vulcans they know to not show emotion outwardly, and how humiliating it must be to not only show emotion in public but to have that choice + control ripped away from them, so whenever a situation where their control slips, like chocolate/weird plant pollen/emotionally compromising event/etc happens, they focus on helping that Vulcan get away from people and into some privacy (even from them) instead of using it as an opportunity to “find out how that Vulcan really feels about them”
hey, i've been sitting on this ask for a while since you've been getting into more twitter drama lately, so here goes. for the record, from an outsider, it looks just as weird of u to vaguepost twitter moicy's as all the shit you've been complaining about from them. like, i'm not even on twitter and i've liked your tumblr art for a WHILE but it's not a good look for you to just shit on other ships bc you're bitter ab your rarepair being called ooc. it's genuinely so lame of you and i'm disappointed to see an artist i've liked for years fall down this train of behavior. like, is it that serious that you have to be an asshole to EVERYONE just bc of a few 16 y/o's who are getting on your nerves? seriously?? it's super immature of you to vague a bunch of kids as a grown ass adult lmfao just post your shit and ignore them if it bugs you so bad. the block button is very accessible and useful (i'll actually be using it on your account after i send this ask). as an ADULT who has dealt with similar issues with kids being kids, you need to re-evaluate your priorities for real. be the adult that you want them to be instead of mimicking their behavior and saying that they're going to "be so fucked when they're 24" because you're 25 doing the same shit that they are. this isn't hate - like i said, i'm blocking after i send this - but i just hope this reaches you even a little bit and opens your eyes to your own hypocrisy. you're a human and you can make mistakes but i really just don't think this is the best option for you OR them. peace n love. stay safe.
I went to the International Conference on Business and Yapponomics and they all knew you bro
Very very proud of the typesetting on this one, I wanted to make each story feel unique while also staying consistent, and I feel like I was able to do that pretty well!!
The amazing artwork for the title page and playlist was done by @petriteru!!
Here’s some more pictures of the typesetting that didn’t make it into the video :D
Thank you again to cam for letting me bind this series!!! I really enjoyed working on it oh so much!!!

I was talking with @teacup-captor about Aziraphale in cute clothes and this really pretty person in a really pretty dress came up on my dashboard and I had to draw Azi in it 😭
Got my first meeting with a psychiatrist in over a year since the last one demanded details about trauma when I was visibly sweating and shaking! Let’s hope today goes much better and that I have the prefrontal cortex online enough to leave if necessary instead of tolerating that kind of thing again
what if. Amy “fix-it” because hallucifer makes sam so paranoid about dean leaving for no reason that sam gives in and follows him and is witness to the whole thing
Jaewon Breaking Through The Fog Of Depression [LONG POST]
So throughout the last several episodes, we’ve got Jaewon, and the reactions of the various people around him, trying to get him out of his funk one way or another. Let’s go through the list of failures, before we discuss who succeeded:
Taehyung. I’m not gonna waste any word count on that man, he doesn’t deserve it. He had no idea what Jaewon was going through much less why, so nothing he said was helpful or relevant. He was the one person actively trying to instigate Jaewon, thinking he’d banter back and not realizing how serious he considered the situation. Taehyung’s lack of empathy and ‘nunchi’ makes him unpalatable.
Eunji. She’s an interesting one. Unlike Taehyung I think she understood more of why Jaewon was so affected (not because of his past but because of his present with Jihyun), but was afraid that she would lose him so she manipulated him in his vulnerable moments so that they stayed together. She kept trying to tell Jaewon that he was fine now in an attempt to convince him that he was, when in fact that probably just invalidated his feelings more than ever. Instead of encouraging his recovery it just made him feel misunderstood and alone.
Jihyun. While Jaewon trusts Jihyun and knows that Jihyun knows him, he can’t believe a lot of what Jihyun says to him because he KNOWS that his opinions are biased. Jaewon may be thinking that Jihyun is saying what Jaewon wants to hear, not that he actually means it, and so Jaewon is automatically disinclined to believe him. He wants to believe him so badly but he’s convinced himself that there’s no way that Jihyun truly believes what he’s saying. Isn’t that the worst part.
His Therapist. I know she means well, she’s the one other person who knows everything about Jaewon. But her job is to try and ‘cure’ him to the best of her abilities, and sometimes in trying to do that she missed what needs to be done. It’s unclear whether she’s being able to treat the symptom or the root issue. She tells Jaewon what he needs to do, but that’s easier said than done, otherwise he would’ve done it by now. Her telling him isn’t the point, he had to come to that conclusion by himself so that he believes it, before acting on it. It didn’t help that she was getting so visibly frustrated at his story and his reactions.
Now. Who succeeded? It’s the most expected and most unexpected persons around Jaewon:
Yoonwon. Yoonwon is probably Jaewon’s one true friend, someone who knows what he’s like and doesn’t judge him for it ever. He genuinely cares for her and loves her. They’ve absolutely got each other’s backs, and if there’s one thing these two do it’s never lie to each other. Seeing Yoonwon break down after Jihyun gave his ultimatum was probably the first time we saw Jaewon get out of his depressive trance and react with energy. His hubris is his desire to take care and protect those around him (often to his own detriment), and that instinct kicks in for Yoonwon. Until now, Jaewon did what he thought was best to prevent Jihyun (or anyone else) from getting hurt, but seeing her he realized that people were getting hurt despite, or even because of what he was doing. It was the first step of many towards his change in attitude and perspective. What he was doing was not only not helping but it was actively hurting someone he loved, so something had to change.
Restaurant Ahjumma. She’s a legend, she’s an icon, and she is the moment. Jaewon only knows her as a close friend of Jihyun, but has nothing personally connected to her. Even with leaving out specific details, he’s able to share his worries with her, and she (quite literally) smacks some sense into him, reminding him to look at the bigger picture and remember what’s actually important. Loving the ones you love, and pursuing your own happiness is more important to living than drowning in guilt, and taking care of yourself is the first step in that direction. She used the most simple of words that everyone understands to help Jaewon clear his mind. She knows nothing about Jaewon and he finds there’s a comfort in getting support from someone who doesn’t know you and had no opinion of you beforehand. Her combined street smart wisdom and maturity remind Jaewon of a more hopeful future.
What I absolutely love is how Jaewon only managed to connect to two women for entirely opposite reasons, but with a similar result. Jaewon believes Yoonwon because they know each other so well and he knows she wouldn’t lie, and he believes the ahjumma because they don’t know each other at all and as someone Jihyun trusts she has no reason to lie. While on opposite ends of the spectrum, they are both people that Jaewon doesn’t have to put up a mask around, there’s no pretention. It tells us so much about Jaewon, what he values in a person and in a relationship. Yoonwon makes him realize what he’s doing is wrong, and the Ahjumma gives him the courage to do what is right.
I want to be able to utilize a therapist but I also want to be able to say, “I don’t want to discuss that,” without it becoming A Thing that they need to pry into
the origin of the two wolves meme is racist theres been a few people pointing that out in the replies of your post
It really isn’t, though?
It started as a meme someone posted on a “failed meme” Facebook page in 2018 based on either something a Christian weirdo said (I think it was Billy graham?) in the 70s.
Billy graham was being racist for making up a legend about a culture that white people think is mystical or whatever, yes, the origin of the “legend” is racist. That doesn’t really make the meme racist imo?
Billy graham cracker didn't make the meme. He made/popularized a fake proverb. The meme was making fun of his use of his fake proverb. A parody of a racist isn’t inherently racist, especially because the meme has by now removed the link to native cultures by just saying “there are two wolves inside you” instead of “in the Cherokee culture there are two wolves” or whatever. It’s racist and harmful to still go on and say “oh yeah in Cherokee culture they say there’s two wolves inside you one evil and one good and the winner is whichever you feed” because first of all the “evil” traits graham cracker described were more or less the seven deadly sins of Christianity and the “good” traits were more or less the heavenly virtues which should already be a hint that it was a Christian invention.
Beyond that though? It was never a legend in Cherokee culture and the guy made up a different tribe at random each time he retold it because he was either incompetent or just didn’t want people to realize he was just lying. The racist is the butt of the joke, not Native American cultures. I fail to see inherent racism in flippantly parodying the weird fake legends he made up to sound cultured or whatever.
