I've been thinking something lately...
If Mary Jane dies from Peter Parker's radioactive sperm... will Traveler die from June's sperm?

headcanon that as sophie ages, she gets more and more off-put by how she still looks twenty at some age past 40. the only wrinkles she has are smile lines and a barely-there crease between her eyebrows that never leaves. no gray hairs. it doesn’t feel like there’s any physical evidence of how much stress aged her too fast.
(maybe she dyes more grays into her hair to feel better about her reflection, the more time passes by. maybe, on bad days, she contours wrinkles into her skin with makeup. maybe the bad days get more frequent as she ages outside the human lifespan. maybe.)

so my general paranoia has always been pretty bad (hi ocd) but I thought it was more manageable the past few years as I've matured and gotten better at catching myself before I spiral, but recently (as in the past three weeks or so) it's been so bad that I do things impulsively as I'm spiralling without even realising it and it's been negatively affecting the way I perceive how friends think of me which I do NOT want to start happening again because that sucked. Idk why it's happening but I'd be grateful for any advice idrk what else to say about it.

i think more people need to realize that indigeneity is a broader phenomenon than they think it is. stolen land is most egregious in settler colonies like the united states/canada/australia but oversimplifying things like that makes it harder to recognize other genocidal efforts throughout the world. ryukyu and ainu moshiri are stolen land. dokdo is stolen land. artsakh is actively being stolen. fuck, northern ireland is stolen land. and genuinely i think this is getting in the way of a lot of people's understanding of what's happening in palestine—the inability to recognize that colonization and genocide can take many forms, and that doing so is necessary in order to stop it before it's too late.

Baby smurf is OBSESSED with Lilou it is the most adorable thing
He'll usually want to nurse about half an hour before Lilou gets up on workdays, so by the time she does he's still awake, laid down on the bed between my legs to get some wiggles out
And then as she's getting ready he just keeps staring at her, completely captivated, following her with his eyes as she moves around, making cooing noises, and visibly lighting up every time his giant love bug eyes inevitably summon her back to the bed for a kiss or a quick babble conversation
She's predictably left late every single day in the month since her leave ended but idc it's worth it for the melting

please share your wisdom of the pandora hearts title meaning!!
First, thank you for the ask! I'm not very good at articulating my thoughts on this sort of stuff so sorry if it I sound incoherent. Also my take isn't anything new, it's been said before and it's fairly obvious in hind sight tbh (at least to me). I had just dismissed the title early on and hadn't noticed the connections while reading the manga for the first time lol.
I don't think the title is meant to represent a specific aspect of the manga, but rather thread together the main motifs of hope, despair, light & darkness, people's hearts and of course, love. I don't have any exact references on hand, but you can open almost any volume and find a panel with one of these themes pretty easily. What/who exactly is "pandora" or "pandora's box" doesn't really matter as it can apply to any of the characters or even the abyss itself, and hell even life in general.
It's like the main quote of the series, "Someone said that this place is engulfed in darkness. But, that doesn't mean there was never any light there". While it's very obviously about the Abyss, it can also be applied to the series as whole or individual characters. Oz even compares light and hope in one scene.
Jack talks about how Lacie brought him hope, but it was because of that hope he was engulfed in the shadows of despair and lost himself in them. Oz, on the other hand, starts the series an abused child who's lost his will to truly live, but he is able to find hope and love and ends the series happy and fulfilled. The manga is filled with awful and dark moments/events, but it's ultimately a story of hope & love & connection.
I'm going to stop myself there, so hopefully you get the point. There's a lot of ways to apply the title Pandora Hearts to the manga, as it's kinda just an encapsulation of the themes of the whole thing.
