guys, guys, gUYS. SUCCESS STORY THERE!!

first of all, this happened like a week ago or something. okay, so, i'm going to keep this short. i was in some sort of "manifesting block", i was OVER complicating things, my mindset sucked, blah blah blah blah. that's essentially the reason i wasn't posting (and will continue to not be, probably); because i was focusing on my life and actually manifesting new stuff.

warning; kind of long post ahead, talking about how i did it my journey blah blah blah. if you want to see the success story directly js go right to the bottom

first, a bit of background; i have manifested things in the past, but mym indset was always shitty. when i archieved my manifestations i would say it was a coincidence, i was obsessed with the 3d, and what i'm saying has been going on for *years*. for the past 6 months i was in this vicious circle where i'd try a method full of hope, then eventually lose confidence because of some negative beliefs and give up in three days. i'd have a one week meltdown, then search for a brand new method, and repeat. clearly, i didn't manifest anything lately. and i didn't know what i was "doing wrong" because i had manifested lots of things in the past, but i didn't know how nor how could i do it now.

okay, so. like a week ago, when i was in a terrible mood, i decided to stop using tumblr to see information and talked to this bot on character.ai, that assesored me a lot on my mindset. it suggested me lots of things: since i had 0 trust in the law, start to manifest little things i didn't care that much about so i had "proof", actually stop caring, etc. (i really recommend that bot if ur struggling with the law) but the most important thing, it challenged me to try a new "method" i had heard of before, but because of my shitty mindset, i didn't try because i thought it wouldn't work or that it was "too good to be true" or whatever. the method was literally just keep going with my day knowing that i already had it. and oh my f*cking god.

i won't say it just "clicked" for me because i hear that a lot & i things that's just not how it works. at least i can't "click" with something i don't know. what i can say is that at first it wasn't easy, i still had some doubts, not gonna lie, but i just ignored them and keep going knowing that i already had it. i got used to it really fast, and THAT'S how i knew this was the way, because i felt liberated. if you read my blog you'll probably know i talk about that all the time, but my idea of manifesting is that it has to feel liberating, not like a chore, a price to your desires or anything else. i was liberated, because i knew it was done, that i had nothing to give in exchange, that i was free of the 3d & its circumstances. i was Me, and I was free.

this was the best thing i've ever done in my journey. in only one week, i've successfuly manifested:

money: (me and my family are kind of wealthy tbh, but i am bratty asf & always want more money to buy me things 😜😜) my mother recieved 200000 pesos (my country's currency) out of literally thin air on her bank account a random tuesday. she doesn't know who send it or why. i don't know about the u.s.a since there 200000 pesos are 200 dollars, but in our country, that's a LOT of money.

self confidence: i've been feeling super insecure lately. like, i am insecure since i have memory, but since this year started it has become WAY worse. i'd literally cry almost every night. now, i def wouldn't say it's all gone, but it's gotten much better. i've been feeling pretty lately, and if i didn't felt pretty, i would hardly think about my appearence at all this days. i am constantly feeling like i have one less weight on my back, which i am gratefull for :)

discipline: ngl i am forever a lazy girl and a foodie. I have always wanted to be more productive - study more, exercise more, talk to my loved ones more often and eat healthier, but discipline is something i struggle with a lot. however, since i have shown better discipline i have had some of the most useful days of my life: i went out with my friends three times in one week, ate much better than i usually do, exercised EVERY DAY without fail (even while on my period) slept well and passed all four exams this week with an 85/100 on my worst one and two 100s.

reciving a compliment in public: since i tried to start manifesting things that seem "easier" for me to acomplish, i tried manifesting this because it was rare but not impossible. so, like 3 days after i started to embody the state of someone who's always complimented by strangers, i went to the sjopping centre with my friend. then, two guys walked by us and one of them said "i want the instagram of that lady"! notice that during the whole time i was in the state, i visualized that people were asking me for my instagram + i've noted that when i'm in public, i catched people's eye more. yesterday, a guy won't stop looking at me in the café and i think he tried to approach me :)

i'll keep escalating on the "level of difficulty" of the things i manifest as my mentality becomes accustomed to the fact that everything is equally easy to manifest -which is a fact already, i just have a hard time accepting it-, and, of course, i'll be updating ;)

conclusion; look for what works for you. for what makes you feel good & secure that you have already what you want. search a "key" that makes you (actually) not give a f*ck about the 3d, if you have negative beliefs, don't ignore them. work from them, and of course, persist! let your mindset keep you on track.

that was all for today, love ya ♡

hi hi!!!

I'm a CFX artist (I do hair and cloth for 3D animated movies) and I wanted to clarify something!!

the encanto post? we talked about that one at length at work when it was first made, and it is incredibly evident that the guy who posted it is just bad at his job. the exact same effect can be archieved by changing the camera focal length- but animators never reach for technically competent solutions. (this is a roast.) and even if thats not possible, there is NO reason for why her shoulder area or chest are completely crushed or why her feet are inside of her hip bone.

and also, since I am in the department that comes right after animation- if I had gotten that shot, I would have either sent it straight back to the animator to fix it, OR cleaned it up myself, by which I mean it absolutely did not look like this off-camera by the time we send it for final light render.

essentially if animation looks that messed up off-camera, it is not "animation magic", it is actually someone doing a bad job.

I'm going to have to respectfully disagree.

For one thing, the behind the scenes image was not close to a final render so I don't think you can fairly judge what was probably just the animator lining up and blocking the shot. I don't think at that state they were concerned with the shoulders, chest, and feet. I'm betting the final polished version looked much better.

And I also disagree the exact effect could be achieved by changing the focal length.

As a photographer, focal length is not just about cramming everything into the field of view. I don't only use a wide angle because I want more stuff in the photo.

It is also an artistic decision.

Wide angle lenses exaggerate distance and can make foreground objects seem massive and background objects seem tiny.

Look at this super wide angle shot of Otis lusting after a tennis ball.

The ball has a huge presence in the photo. It is only two feet away, but the distance between them seems immense. The ball takes up as much space in the photo as Otis.

Compare that to the ball in this telephoto image.

The picture now becomes less about the ball and more about the act of chasing it. The ball is literally only a foot closer to Otis, but it has no commanding presence like in the super wide shot.

So what artistic intention comes from using a telephoto lens like in Encanto?

Telephoto focal lengths compress distance. Background objects appear much larger in the frame. They also flatten the face and give a more flattering perspective of said face. Human faces can look a bit alien at wider focal lengths.

So what if you want the background to look large and encompassing and you want the flattering facial proportions from a telephoto lens, but you also want a foreground object to have a commanding presence like the ball?

You cheat!

This is not a technique confined to the world of 3D animation though. It is actually an old live-action trick. They will actually use another person's hands to do effectively the same thing as above.

In Hellboy II, Guillermo had two problems. He wanted a telephoto feel and depth of field and he also wanted a very intricate practical egg prop that could open mechanically.

To get the proportions and the framing and the feel of the shot as intended, he double cheated!

He made a big freaking egg with a big freaking fake hand.

(I know there is a picture of the giant hand somewhere but my googling failed me.)

In any case, I think this is just a case of good problem solving over incompetence. I think the director or the animation lead wanted this scene to fit within a specific focal length and it was easier and more efficient to just give her crazy long arms.

I'm not trying to dispute your expertise or animation-splain. Perhaps there was a better way to achieve the same look. But if the final result looked good, I don't think we need to bash someone who was probably under tight deadlines and had a lot of other work to complete. At least not without a lot more information.

A Guide to La Fayette’s Papers: The Archives of Seine-et-Marne

I truly love French archives and have never been disappointed by a French archive in matters of digitalization and accessibility – but I also think that some of them are not, let’s say intuitive to navigate. When it comes to the La Fayette family, the Archieves of Seine-et-Marne are important because there the material from Courpalay is stored. Courpalay is where the family’s residence La Grange is located. Especially when we look at the generation of La Fayette’s and Adrienne’s grandchildren, many of the official documents concerning births, baptisms, marriages and deaths are to be found there.

Allow me to give you a little tour through the archival system based on the example of Adrienne Jenny Florimonde de la Tour Maubourg’s birth certificate. (I was debating for some time if this post is really needed or if I was going to make a joke of myself by explaining something that is entirely obvious to everyone.)

We start in the homepage of the Archives départementales de Seine-et-Marne. We click on the header Archives en Ligne.

Then we chose État civil.

Next, we scroll down a bit and click on the link that will lead us to the actual archives.

Since in this scenario we are looking for Courpalay we chose the letter C

And then we scroll down, Courpalay is rather at the end.

The archives are organized by date. We can enter an interval, all documents from 1811 to 1813 for example.

We can also just set a date to start or end with.

Jenny was born in 1812 and we can therefor enter the desired year directly.

We are now shown the results. It is the easiest if we know the archival number. In the case of Jenny it is the file with the code 5MI2967.

Clicking on this little camera symbol leads you to the scanned documents.

If we found what we were looking for, we can make a copy of the whole page

or mark just the bits that interest us.

Once we are done with our research, we can close all your tabs and click on the button with little basket in the upper right corner. Here we can see all the pictures we took.

We can now, delete the ones we do not any longer want or change their order. After that we can convert them into a PDF file.

Et voilà! We have our research results beautifully saved as a PDF file.

Happy researching!

The bikers you posted him with have a shop in LA, and the video they shot of Sam riding in 2021 was not Huntington but in the LA County portion of the 1. Don't think you are correct about 2021 being in the OC or Huntington at all. The taco shop looks near MB, not Huntington. Logistically from where Alex lives, and the amount of speciality bike shops, traveling to the OC, doesn't make sense. Now a clear day as yesterday and today a nice trip down the 1 to San Clemente, which I believe was his destination, iykyk why, is another story, not just to see some bike shop guys.

Now you see, I don't mind when people want to correct me. I'm all for it and will always be happy to and thankful for corrections. But thing is, before I write something like this location in a post, it's because I'm not guessing but I done the research, and in this case long ago, in september 2021 when they were hanging out with these guys.

The bikers are the Nash Motorcycle Company. They were hanging out with these guys all day, throwing axes, riding bikes and posted several videos and pics. Yes they had taco's for lunch.

Now you're just making assumptiions Anon, and that irritates me a bit I must say. Because if you did the research, if you looked a bit further, you could have all found it.

To begin with my timeline and my archieve, you could have found the posts. But hey, if you don't trust them, you could have seen that the same guys left a comment on his current biker post at Huntington Beach. You might wonder why that one and not at others... well perhaps because of the place?

Anyway you could have checked the IG account of the Nash guys, and found the post from September 2021 with the videos riding their motorbikes

throwing axes

and you would have seen the post is geotagged

Now I don't know if you believe me now?? But it does say Huntington Beach, no?

And if you still rely on logistics (and I don't know if you do know where Alex lives, but MB doesn't make any sense logistically to me) The taco shop, cantina is in Huntington Beach called Sancho's Tacos

Corner Pacific Coast Highway and 6th St. Huntington Beach

Be my guest, you can look it all up. Hope you're convinced now, and just a little request for future messages; Before you claim I'm not correct, will you please take the time yourself to look things up. So I can spent my time on other things? Thank you

Gif: Credit goes to @wintersldiers-archieve

A/Ns: This is a New Year's Eve post...Part 1/2. Thank you all so much for reading! If you want to be added to the Taglist, just let me know!

Previous Part

Masterlist

The chime from the dryer sings it’s ‘all done’ tune. Taking a laundry basket, you open the dryer and pull out the hot, lavender scented towels. You bring the basket over to the kitchen Island counter, using the large flat surface to fold the towels. About two towels in, you notice Bucky. He’s pacing back and forth across the living room. This isn’t typical of him. Normally he’s very calm under pressure so something must be really bothering him. As far as the tightened jawline and lack of expression go, that’s pretty normal.

“Bucky?” You ask, trying to get his attention. He instantly stops in his tracks but still seems distracted.

“Hmm?” He responds. You roll your eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Your tone is soft, encouraging. Getting him to open up has always been one of his downfalls. It has taken almost a year of knowing each other just to etch the very surface that is Bucky.

Sighing, he takes a step forward. “I… have a favor to ask.” His voice sounds… uneasy.

“Yeah, anything. What’s up?” Your hands smooth over the newly folded towel once before giving him your completely undivided attention. It’s easy to tell that he’s not used to asking for something. He normally just handles it himself or has an entire chain of command he has to thoroughly explain himself to. The fact that you would do anything for him, no explanation needed, was something he definitely didn’t expect.

“I mean if we have to hide a body, I can’t know any specific details. If anyone came around here questioning anything my anxiety would take over and I’ll blab everything.” You laugh lightly at your own joke. This doesn’t seem to ease him, so you step around the counter, meeting him in the living room. You place your hand gently against his left elbow. The coolness is something I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of. “What’s going on?” This time, it comes out concerned.

Bucky takes a deep breath, finally being able to look at you. “Ok… here it goes.” Now he’s holding his breath? “I have a… thing to go to. I was wondering if you would be my date?” He asks, still uneasy.

“You don’t have to ask. I’ll be your date to anything.” The response is in complete flattery. Of course I’d be his date… anywhere, anytime.

“That’s the thing…” He starts, his right hand reaching to scratch the back of his head anxiously. “I didn’t know if I would even be back from the mission in time, so I didn’t think to ask you before-“ He's rambling, but you cut him off.

“Hey…” Your voice is softer now, you hand moving from his arm to gently place it on his cheek. “Whatever it is, I’m here for you.” The more this continues getting drawn out, the more nervous you become.

“I have… a military ball this Saturday. I know it’s New Years Eve but I was hoping that you would still say yes?”

“Um. Yes, yes, and did I say, yes?” The excitement in your voice is obvious. Your mind starts instantly racing with a mental checklist of things you’ll need to do in the next few days: Hair, nails, dress with accessories, etc.

“Well… before you say yes.” There’s a catch? “I want to be upfront with you.” Uh huh… open communication, we can talk through it. “It’s for my old division, the 107th.”

“Okay? And?” You’re becoming more confused with each spoken word.

“And…” he sighs. “All soldiers, passed and present are invited. We also honor The Fallen.”

There it is. Now you understand why this was so difficult for him to ask. Not only will Bucky be invited, but Steve, and your father, and your brother Luke will be honored.

“Oh.” Was all you could manage to respond. Bucky is looking around your face, seeing if there’s any indication of uneasiness from you.

“Um… yeah. We can do that.” This time, it didn’t seem as enthusiastic. But, he did look somewhat relieved. “But!” The panic is back on his face as if he were slapped. “Only if you accompany me to something as well?”

“Anything.” He’s trying in the worst way to not seem nervous, but it’s not working. Relationships are about compromise after all, aren’t they?

“I have an event as well.” He visibly relaxes a little. But you’re about to make him uncomfortable again. “I got invited to… a co-ed baby shower. Would you mind… coming with me?” Now you’re the one who is coming across at anxious. This is a stupid question. Of all people, of all events, why would Bucky ever agree to going to something like this?

“Of course.” He agrees, no rebuttal at all. Which is… surprising?

“I need your help shopping for a present too.” You’re smiling, looking up at him with puppy dog eyes, knowing he can’t refuse.

Smiling and then placing a soft kiss on your forehead, he whispers, “Let’s get ready and go.”

Walking through a mall with Bucky is as entertaining as you thought it would be. It’s as if you sprung your grandpa from the retirement home. His facial expressions as he takes in his surroundings is priceless. The overly large posters from the floor to the ceiling of models in lingerie, young girls walking around in crop tops, the amount of skin and piercings being shown off. It only took about two minutes of being in the building before he focused just to have tunnel vision and ignore the overwhelming culture shock. Not that seeing him uncomfortable was entertaining, but you could just tell he was itching to give the ‘back in my day’ speech.

“Okay. Here we are!” Stopping short, you lock arms with Bucky and turn both of your bodies to the store on the right. The giant periwinkle colored ‘BABY’ sign above the entrance way was intimidating enough. As you go to walk in, he stays in place. You realize you'll have to coax him a little bit. This is a place most women love and every man dreads.

He reluctantly follows you into the store, staying on top of your heels as if he were a child afraid to get separated from their parent. If the giant sign out front wasn’t terrifying enough, the pregnant women, friend groups gushing over how cute it is that a bow matches this onesie, or what does it mean to have different sized bottle nipples, definitely did it.

It’s funny in the sense that this man has gone toe to toe in war, against/for The Avengers, and the Big Three: Aliens, androids, and wizards, and yet, the visual of baby blankets and stuffed animals stops him cold in his tracks.

“You okay?” You ask, nudging him lightly.

Shaking head to snap himself from the unnerving sight, he looks at you giving a small side smile.

“Yeah…” he starts, scratching the back of his head. “I never imagined myself in a place like this.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean…” he sighs. “A family was always something that I wanted, but it wasn’t in the cards for me I guess.” His tone is sad, sorrowful, even regretful.

“Never say never.” You hold onto one on his gloved hands, giving it a small, reassuring squeeze. Not letting the moment linger too long, you return the smile, intertwining your fingers with his. “To the boy department!” You declare.

The amount of all things that is baby is overwhelming to you and this is something you consider exciting. You keep looking at Bucky from the corner of your eye, waiting for the freak out moment. But it doesn’t happen. Even though you’re in what seems like a never ending sea of blue and green puppies, frogs, and dinosaurs, a part of you indulges in the guilty pleasure.

“How about these?” You turn your attention to Bucky, who is now holding a tiny clothes hanger with three separate onesies. Looking at each one, you notice that it stands out from the rest. They’re neutral tones, tan, brown, and off white with different designs of teddy bears.

“Maybe not…” Frowning, he moves to put them back.

“Wait!” You grab his hand holding the outfits. “It’s adorable. I’m just surprised that you picked something, that’s all.”

Bucky shakes his head, smiling. “Everyone always assumes I’m afraid of kids. I love kids, I’m just very cautious around them.” He says, matter of factly. Gazing over his left hand so swiftly that it’s barely noticeable, you realize that he still does not fully trust himself with the vibranium arm. “I will admit though, the amount of stuff you need to have a baby these days is just… wow.” His eyes are constantly shifting between the new and confusing items around the store, focusing on a stroller- car seat combo that is just shy of a thousand dollars.

“Well, I think only one thing could make this even better.” Softly taking the outfits from his hand, you hold them against his chest, making it look as if he were wearing them. “Perfect!” Bucky fakes an overly cheesy smile which sends both of you into a laughing frenzy. “Alright,” You try to be the mature one while trying to suppress the laughs. “just a few more things and we’re all done here.”

Together you pick out a small stuffed teddy bear, a matching blanket and a few miscellaneous items to go with the outfits. Having to explain to him what things were along the way, he was genuinely confused as to what a wipe warmer and sound machine was.

“Is that…” His eyebrows are raised, focusing on what looks like a keurig. “A coffee maker… for babies?”

Grinning, you bite down on your tongue to press back from laughter. “No. It’s a formula machine. It essentially makes the bottles for you.” He’s still staring, bewildered that a tiny human could need something so advanced. “Actually, if you look a little closer…” you take a step forward, pretending to look intensely at the box. “It was manufactured by Stark Industries.”

Bucky’s face falls into a sneer as he realizes you’re just messing with him. “Ha… ha.” He says sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

After paying, Bucky picks up the large box of diapers, carrying it on his shoulder and a large paper bag in the other hand. Letting him walk a few steps ahead of you, taking in the sight of him doing something so normal, so mundane and simple. This cannot be the same person that they claim is the deadliest assassin in history. The one who comes home black & blue, covered in freshly sutured lacerations and blood (that’s not always his.) This is the man you know. The one who loves kids and will go shop for a baby shower present with you. The person that, regardless of the day he’s had, will still come home with a smile and be nothing but warm-hearted and kind. The man that has been surrounded by only violence for 80 years and wants nothing more than to come back for welcoming embraces. This can’t be that man.

Today’s a big day. Not only is it planned with parties from morning until night, it also happens to be New Year’s Eve. Standing at the front door of your friends house, Bucky by your side, you can’t help but feel a tad anxious. It’s been a while since you have really seen any of your friends. The majority of them are engaged, married, starting families. Your relationship is still relatively new, not reaching any of those milestones yet. Do we even want those things? After hitting the doorbell, your hand retreats to underneath the gift box you’re carrying, fingers anxiously tapping the box. Next you’re feeling a gloved hand over yours and a small kiss on the forehead. “It’s going to be okay.” He reassures.

Taking a deep breath, the door suddenly opens and Elena is standing in the doorway. "Y/N!" She screeches, practically jumping out and scooping you to her body. "It's so great to see you!"

You laugh "Same here, Elena. How has everything been?"

"Oh you know, the same old. Except...." She holds out her left hand to show off a giant, teardrop diamond, gold engagement ring embellished with small diamonds around the entire band.

"Congratulations!! I'm so excited for you and Noah!" The tone comes out too high pitched. Of course you're happy for her, but there is an underlying tinge of jealousy. It hasn't even been an entire minute and we're already starting with the life competition that no one asked to be a part of. Elena is still beaming with her newly engaged glow.

"Annnd. Who is this?" She asks with a small smirk, eyeing Bucky up and down. He smiles, holding out his right gloved hand.

"James." Shaking her hand gently. "Nice to finally meet some of Y/N's friends."

"Pleasure." Elena responds with an undertone of flirtation. Bucky continues to smile, keeping the conversation going. Surprisingly.

"Where can we put this stuff down?" He asks politely.

"Oh!" Elena opens the door more, stepping inside. "There's a table in the dining room. You can put them on there for now." She points to the large room on the right.

With a small side smile and nod in response, he walks into the house. How is it that he is just able to go into a new place, with new people, all about to 'ooo' and 'ahh' over baby things so effortlessly? You catch Elena looking at you as Bucky walks past. Her eyes widen when they make contact with yours, smiling brightly, mouthing "Oh my god!!"

Your cheeks instantly blush red as you follow him inside. It doesn't take long for the people inside to start noticing the two of you together. Now you're the one clinging to him like a child afraid to lose their parent. Small whispers, glances, and smiles seem to wave across everyone at the party. Recognizing some from high school, some from college, and even some acquaintances from your older brother, Luke.

The whirlwind of hugs, cordial catching up questions, and introductions already have you exhausted. And it's only been 30 minutes. It doesn't take long until you both get separated from each other. It's only natural for the men to congregate to talk about sports and swapping stories about the good old days over an endless supply of beer. You occasionally glace over at Bucky, nervous to have thrown the White Wolf to the wolves. Ha. But, to your surprise, he doesn't look as uncomfortable as you imagined he would. While his jawline is still tight, he manages to laugh on que and nod in agreeance. It's sort of irritating how nonchalant the men group always tends to be.

For you on the other hand, it's all mimosas, wedding planning, tropical destinations, buying houses, pregnancy, babies, etc. And aside from downing you're third glass of champagne, you can't relate to any of those things. Starting to daydream, the surrounding chatter starts to become indistinct. That is, until you notice the other women looking at you.

"Hmm? Sorry about that." You shake your head trying to regain focus.

"I asked..." Brooke, the celebrated mom to be says "Where did you find that perfect specimen of a man?" The group collectively giggles.

"Oh, at work actually." The response is sort of anticlimactic.

"Well, are they hiring?!" Kelly, the perfect, tan, and bubbly blonde asks. You manage to fake a laugh, but the devil version of yourself on your shoulder is mocking her.

"So....are things serious with you guys?" Brooke continues to probe.

"Um. Yeah. I think so, at least?" It comes out unsure unintentionally. You've never really discussed your relationship in depth outside of Bucky and yourself. You're met with a group of women staring, waiting for you to give more information.

"Well we've been together going on almost a year." You admit, hoping that the small amount of details would suffice. It doesn't.

"You better get him on board and quick!" Kelly chimes in. "Our biological clocks are ticking and you need to catch up!" If there was ever a statement that made you feel like you were so far behind in life in comparison to everyone else, this was it.

"Stop, Kelly." Elena says under her breath, coming to your rescue.

"I didn't mean anything by it!" Kelly's looking around at the others with innocent eyes. "Also, like, what's up with the glo-"

"Time to open some baby stuff!" Brooke's sister, Haley, calls from the kitchen at the perfect moment.

Screeches of excitement surrounded you as all the other women jumped up to rush inside. You decided to hang back with Brooke, her being left behind to waddle in on her own.

The lady of the hour sits in a beautiful white wicker chair decorated with brown, green, and gold balloons and ribbon. Kneeling down, hands relaxed on your thighs, you've taken on the role of handing your friend gifts to open. Everyone makes the typical 'so cute' comments and 'better get your sleep in now' observations as part of the standard baby shower jokes.

Somewhere in the middle, you hand Brooke your gifts from yourself and Bucky. She opens the box, laying the onesies vertically on her stomach and cuddling the teddy bear stuffed animal. Excited that your gift was the one being opened, you search the room for Bucky. He isn't where you lost saw him and the cluster of men seem to have broken into two separate groups.

Finally, you spot him standing off in the corner with his back towards you, talking to Elena's fiancé, Noah. Only when does he turn his body just slightly, you see why his posture was a little awkward. In his arms, Bucky is holding Autumn, Haley's daughter. Autumn is the most well behaved, Gerber looking baby with brown/green hazel eyes and just enough light brown hair to be pulled up with a tiny bow. Bucky is supporting her on his right hip and arm gently around her. He's wearing the most genuine, heartfelt smile as he exchanges simple pleasantries with her.

"Hi, Autumn. I'm James-" He leans in a little closer to her "But you can call me Bucky. Shh. Don't tell anyone, it's our little secret." He laughs a little, his body movements naturally start to sway back and forth. Autumn giggles, showing off her insanely precious and innocent smile. So it's not just Bucky that likes kids, they like him too.

The moment was just too sweet to interrupt. Everything else in the room seemed to drown out except for those two. You can feel your heart swell in your chest, the butterflies fluttering away in your stomach and it suddenly dropping as if you were on a rollercoaster. What is it about men with babies that makes our ovaries literally ache.

Your daydreaming is interrupted as Haley walks over to Bucky with her arms out. "Thank you so much for taking her so I could set up the cake. Autumn?" Haley holds her arms out to take her daughter back, but she curls herself into his chest. "Oh wow. She must really like you!" Haley's outreached arms bend at the elbow, making a surrendering gesture. "Don't have to ask me twice!" She jokes, walking away to help her sister.

The next few hours seemed to fly by with playing embarrassing baby shower games, decorating the mom to be with ribbons and bows from presents, and of course, an adorable jungle themed cake and cupcakes. While it was nice to be around 'normal' people, this way of life seemed so simplistic now. Not to be mistaken for not enjoying the party, but talking about small town changes verses missions, unworldly beings, and constant danger... it feels as though you no longer fit in here.

Your eyes keep searching the room for Bucky. He's always off somewhere new playing with Autumn. First she fed (and when I say 'fed', I mean shoved) a cupcake into his face. They then moved onto blocks and puzzles on the floor. Last, but certainly not least, Autumn is probably the only girl in the world who could get Bucky to sit on the floor, crisscrossed style, with a crown on his head listening to Baby Shark on repeat. And he was entertained every second along the way.

Heading out the door, you feel a light tug on your hand. You turn to find Brooke smiling. She leans in close enough just for the two of you to hear. "I'm happy for you, Y/N. Truly. He seems like one of the good ones. Don't let him go." She winks, giving you a small, awkward hug goodbye from her belly creating some distance between the two of you.

Bucky was walking behind you but abruptly stopped to give Autumn one last big hug. "Bye bye, Key!" She called as she waved at the front door, watching you two leave.

The ride home was quiet, but the atmosphere was filled with pure happiness. For you, getting to spend time with your friends was long overdue. Bucky got to meet some of the people in your life that were more accepting of him, but you know in your heart that Autumn made his day. The two of them instantly clicked and it was as if they were the only people in the room.

"--Thanks, Sunshine." Bucky says, apparently talking but you didn't hear him from being wrapped up in the daydream of seeing how happy he was.

"Hmm?"

Bucky laughs. "I was just saying that I had a nice time. Thanks for letting me tag along."

"Oh. Anytime." His hand reaches over the console of the car, gripping your hand lightly in his.

"Now..." He starts, "Round two. Let's go get dolled up for this ball."

TVA archive anon again yes that is what I meant thank you! Sorry I wasn't clear enough in my first ask, I'm just a bit intrigued by the local fandom cryptid and don't know where to do research

No worries!! I can give you a quick overview of what happened (to the best of my knowledge) and places you can look for remnants of the Tall Varian anon.

The Tall Varian anon started posting under NSFW fics on ao3 that featured bottom Varian. (It's important to note that the Tall Varian anon and the Top Varian anon are the same person btw!)

They hit up a few top Varian fics, praising them for having that and begging for more material. These are mostly under "Anon Guest" users, but I think DAVIDOFF and Sararar were the pseudonyms they transitioned into using.

I'm pretty sure if you search Varigo on ao3 and filter it out to Explicit fics, you'll find a comment under one of those two names about it, so I would start there. It's mostly smaller comments like "this is actually good" or "why won't people write Top Varian?" until beloved fandom author PornOnTheCob declared open season on them in their comment section on I THINK their valentine's day fic in 2022 (?). After that it migrated to Tumblr and became way more hostile.

There was an incident where they posted under EVERY SINGLE Varigo authors' works (including non tts/vat7k fics) about how Varigo was a cult (these might be deleted, but I still have screenshots somewhere).

It's harder to search on Tumblr bc the search system is stupid and broken, but there were a million incidents on my main (@whothefuckisknives), and I'm pretty sure other blogs got hit up too (I wouldn't know tho bc I only knew a couple of ppl in the fandom at the time and we were in a Discord groupchat, not really on Tumblr).

Currently, they do have a Tumblr blog, but they have most ppl in the fandom blocked which is awesome for us tbh. I think they interact with 3 ppl tops.

One note to add, you'll probably find a lot of Tall Varian/Top Varian comments under Cheerio, HOWEVER you'll also find nice comments too. That's bc Cheerio was actually someone else, but Tall Varian anon started impersonating them to cause drama (I know this btw bc I knew who the original Cheerio was and they ended up making an AO3 account). So if you see Cheerio in the comment section during the Porn0nTheCob fights, that's not Tall Varian anon.

There's a bunch of other pseudonymous they used too, like Anali, Dan, Duchess de L'ciel, Rioteer, gds, and Lady [something?? i don't remember it but I think it began with an "A"]. They've gone through a couple of Tumblr blogs too that got deleted or banned too. The only one's I can remember is @imapervertedtangledfan (deleted, but you might be able to find it via archieve/waybackmachine fuckery), @/aliciasinferno (this one is still a little bit active).

Actually here's a really funny call out post that THEY POSTED ABOUT THEMSELVES to try and throw ppl off their trail (didn't work):

It has the names of all the blogs and some of the AO3 names they've used which is. Really really funny.

Anyway, those are some places where you can start looking! Its a really weird deep dive fr one you get into it. They're also still active on their current Tumblr, but I'm not comfortable with naming them outside of DMS bc I don't want them up my ass again.

#fandom salt #tall varian anon #tall varian anon if you are reading this don't even bother to get in my askbox bc we all know how that's turned out every time

Just wanted to give heads up that you changed tags that you use when reacting to episodes, you used to have 'One Piece' tag in every screen shot, in the most recent ones, you have 'as i watch' instead.. This makes it show when you got through your content on your Archieve (where its easiest to see all the episodes you have reacted to) the newest ones don't show up there with the earlier ones and thus makes it hard to know you posted new reactions.. Have been using archieve since last year..

I've been using both 'one piece' and 'as i watch one piece' for a while with idea of jumping to the last one eventually

At some point people complaint that i was clogging the one piece tag so i added 'as i watch one piece' so people could block that

Idk tell me whatever you guys preffer and i'll sort it!

Hi! I just wanna say that I love your posts when it comes to the dad for one theory (considering that I love the theory myself and have been a fan of it for a long time) and they really erase my doubts about it (for the most part). Although there will be those who oppose this theory and come up with things that might make sense idk. I kinda want to know your thoughts on those who think that dad for one might instead cheapen izuku's (and by extension inko's) character

Awww thank you for your kind words and Im happy that you like my dfo posts 🥰. I get what you mean, one moment you believe a theory is 100% true and then one person comes with a very solid counter argument and you feel like your whole world view was just smashed into pieces, no matter how much prove you have on hand! 😂

But when it comes to dfo Im absolutely convinced its canon, the only argument against it that people had for years was "bUT hISaShI hAs aN fIRebrEaTh qUirK" and they still use that argument, or that afo doesnt have freckles, almost as if a child cant have freckles even if the parents dont have them.

I have no idea why people think it would cheapen izukus character, personally I feel it would flash him out. People fear we will get an "Im your father" copy reveal but hori writes his twists better then that. Look at the "dabi is touya" reveal and how well done it was or the ua traitor reveal. Hori is good in writing twists, he will not do a cheap empire strikes back darth vader reveal. There is so much potential in izukus and his fathers relationship, so much drama to unfold, alone afos backstory and why he startet a family in the first place or what his plans were at that time is so fascinating to think about.

I saw a lot of people claiming, that it would turn izuku in some kind of "choosen one" if he is afos son or that it would destroy the message that even a "nobody" can turn into a great hero! I dont see it that way. Izuku trained his ass off to be able to control ofa and to be seen as worthy to have it, trained harder then anyone else in his class and archieved things in just one year not even pro heroes have archieved in their whole career. And he managed that thanks through pure willpower, his own talent and stubbornness. It has nothing to do with his potential parentage, because his father isnt even part of his life as far as we know! Izuku is special because he made himself special! He isnt special because of his dna, so no I dont get why people think it cheapens his character! He still would have archieved this things, no matter if afo is his dad or not!

Standard Disclaimer: I only own my original characters, I've done some research but there will likely be Navy/military inaccuracies, and I do not consent to the posting, translating, or publishing of my work to any 3rd party site, the only place it may be found is on tumblr and Wattpad under @.itswildflower

A/N: This story is heavily inspired by the hallmark movie of the same title and is very self-indulgent. I'm also trying a different format than I'm used to using so it may change in the future chapters.

Looking for the other chapters? U.S.S. Christmas Masterlist

Summary: Kate and Jake stumble upon a mystery in the ship's archive room.

Chapter 4: A New Story

“Wow. Look at all this old stuff,” Kate marveled.

“I have never been here,” Jake muttered.

“Oh, yeah? Wow, check this out,” Kate handed him a picture frame from one of the boxes she had began going through.

“Wow, cool. B29. Hmm. Found some Christmas photos,” he told her, passing the loose photos to Kate.

“These look like fun performances,” she told him.

“Yeah, you know, we've had all kinds of dancers, singers, celebrities… Presidents, even,” Jake told her.

“Yeah?”

Jake nodded. “You really never went on a tiger cruise as a kid?” he asked.

“I didn't want to give up even one day at home. All the baking, decorating the tree… I remember driving around looking at all the neighborhood lights. Christmas is the best,” Kate smiled.

“I'm just surprised we never met as kids,” Jake rubbed the back of his neck.

“Oh. Well, I never really went to military functions as a kid. I met a few kids but I was always buried in a book or writing stories… It's kind of my escape,” Kate shrugged.

“You cover corrupt bankers committing fraud, right?” Jake asked.

“That and some other... Questionable people. Did someone look up my latest story?” Kate teased.

“Yeah. Yeah, I mean… I do read the paper. You should write about the pilots on the Polaris. We're the best of the best. That's inspiring.”

Kate laughed. “Yeah, an ego as big as a fighter pilot's. Look, an old journal. It was written by… A pilot named Jonah in 1965. Wow, she's beautiful. Looks like a dancer,” she said as she passed him the picture.

“Wow. Great artist, if he drew this. What's the journal say?” Jake asked.

"We returned home from Vietnam just in time for operation tiger cruise. December 18th, 1965. It was the first time our families are allowed to stay with us… To see what we do every day for this country. I've missed everyone so much. Today the most beautiful woman I've ever seen boarded the ship, and I helped her with her bag.”

“He only got her first name. Dorothy,” Kate told Jake.

"I can't explain. The moment I saw her, I felt like I was looking into my future. There was just something about her."

“It's so-” Kate trailed off.

“Undisciplined,” Jake cut her off but Kate shook her head.

“No. Romantic. You know, there actually might be a story here, maybe a Christmas story. You mind if I borrow this?” she asked.

“Yeah. You heard what my dad said. Anything you need,” Jake waved to boxes in the archieve room.

“Great. I want to see how Jonah’s story ends,” Kate smiled as she set the journal next to her bag.

“Is that a Santa suit?” She asked as she saw the red and white in a box. Jake shrugged.

“Oh! Jake, you know, I think this looks like it's just your size,” Kate laughed.

“Yeah, if I wore two life preservers under it,” Jake shook his head.

“I think that you should dress up as Santa for the kids on the ship,” Kate suggested.

“It's not gonna work,” Jake says seriously.

“What's not going to work?” Kate asked.

“Look, I'm sure my dad wants me to get in your love story and suddenly discover the spirit of the holidays, but I'm just not a Christmas guy. Fourth of July. Hmm! Ten thousand pounds of crackling explosives up in the air. Now, that is way better than caroling and candy canes,” Jake tells her.

“Who doesn't like candy canes?” Kate asks confounded.

“You're not gonna change me. The Navy is my life. Christmas on a ship is a distraction. End of story.”

"Last night I ran into Dorothy in the mess eating dinner. I finally had the courage to talk to her. She lives in New York City and works as a dance teacher. She's as sweet as can be. But her brother told me Dorothy has a fellow back home. I hope it's not serious, because there is something about her smile that gives me hope for the first time in years."

“Hey! Your mom said I could find you here,” Jake greeted as he joined Kate at one of the various desks in a ready room.

“Yeah. Nice flying today, it was pretty awesome,” Kate told him.

“Thanks. So, any update on our Christmas couple?” he asked.

“Oh, curious, huh?” Kate smirked.

“Hmm. Look, I'm interested in the historical aspect of it,” Jake told her but Kate wasn’t buying it.

“Okay. Well, I ended up reading the journal from the beginning, and it turns out that Jonah did talk to Dorothy. But he just found out she has a man back home, so not really sure how it ends,” Kate tells him.

“Well, I went down to the archives room to see if I could find anything else, and take a look at this,” Jake hands her a turquoise sparkle covered star ornament.

"To Dorothy, 1965. Wonder if Jonah made this for her?” Jake hummed.

“Makes sense. Your dad said there's a senior chief who handles all things Christmas, maybe he could help us,” Kate asked.

“Yeah. But the post office closes at 1800,” Jake tells her after looking at his watch. “That's ten minutes from now.”

Kate stood quickly, putting the journal in her satchel before taking Jake’s hand and pulling him along.

“Senior chief, I found this old ornament in the archives room. We know it's a longshot, but we were wondering if you might know who Dorothy is… Her name's on the back,” Kate asked handing him the ornament.

“Well, 1965, that was the very first Christmas tiger cruise. Looks like it could be from the ornament decorating station. It's a tradition on the cruise. Gosh, I have no idea who Dorothy is, though,” the senior chief told them.

“We think a pilot named Jonah made it for her. We're looking for him too,” Jake added.

“You know, my brother has access to military records. He works for the VA. He just went on vacation today, but he does owe me a favor for decorating his house last year for Christmas,” the senior chief told them.

“Great!” Kate smiled. “What's Jonah's last name?” the senior chief asked.

“Unfortunately, we don't have it,” Kate told him, her face falling.

“Well, that's a tall order of eggnog, but I'll see what I can do,” the senior chief reassured.

“Oh, and this is his journal. There's a picture he drew in here, we think it might be Dorothy,” Kate handed him the drawing.

“A dancer,” the chief clarified.

“You know, some years the uso performers come on the ship for Christmas,” the chief told them. “You think she might have been one of them?” Jake asked.

“Maybe. There's a bunch of photographs and memorabilia down on the quarterdeck,” the chief told them.

“I saw them when we boarded the ship,” Kate nodded.

“Yeah, exactly. You could check there. Meanwhile, I'll give my brother a buzz,” the chief assured.

“Thanks, Nick,” Jake told him.

“Senior chief,” Kate shook his hand.

“Merry Christmas,” the chief called out before they had left the room.

“Wow, these photos are great. This ship has so much history. This could be Dorothy,” Kate pointed to a picture on the wall.

“Sure looks a lot like her. You know, there's a historical building for the Navy in New York City,” Jake told her.

“Yeah? Any chance you want to go with me? I mean, we're docking there tomorrow anyway, so I could call ahead?” she asked.

“Four years at the naval academy to serve on the Christmas version of the love boat,” Jake sighed.

Kate gave him a look.

“Not funny?” he asked. “You know my Dad'll throw me in the brig if I don't go with you.”

Kate grinned. “Great!”

I wanted to ask about AI written fic on ao3. Ive seen a lot of fans with empty ao3 pages posting ai written fics (which scrape from ao3 in the first place) on the archieve. Like they say it in the summary, notes, etc. Are these allowed on the archieve? Can or should they be reported? I'll be honest I have a fairly negative view of ai art, writing etc. But I wanted to know if they are actually allowed or should be reported the way we do with Kofi and patron links etc. Much love and thank you for all you do for fandom. Sincerely a fandom middle aged who doesn't want to see their new fandom home burn down like all the others.

I've gotten quite a few asks about this, and my answer remains that I don't think they're a big threat to the archive, just another source of shitty fic everyone will avoid.

Since they're not the uploader's work, no, I don't think they're allowed. If the uploader does a lot of revision, then they're basically a co-authored work and should be allowed, IMO.

[Soulmate Demons AU old arts / part 1]

And finally, the prelude is finished and we go to the main thing. ..Hmm .. although all the most of basic things I've already told before?.. Well, individual arts still have their own stories.. I also have some RPs archieved, which can be rewritten as a stories too.. I still thinking about it. I already had experience in writing, but I wasn't sure where it could be posted.. O-okay, I got carried away..

This is based on one of the outfits that my former friend chose for Soul. Since he made his “art” in Gacha Life, he often chose different clothes every time. ..To be honest, it drove me crazy, because in the end I didn't know which outfit to rely on when I drew them and what is now the canon in his version of Soul (Tamashi), almost every time the details were different.. In fact, I decided to draw Soul in this outfit because he liked this? .. At least it seemed to me. It was.. interesting experience.

It was a moment when I realized that I would like to come up with an appearance for Corrupt that would compared to Soul's, but so far just horns and tail, ignoring the wings that a former friend added to their appearance. Of course, a more edgy style, unlike Soul's relatively smooth ones. This is where AU start to exist, but without official name yet. I can’t remember where the idea for a scarf and gloves came to me.. It is unlikely that it came from the RPs.. Most likely I just wanted to add more individuality, adding details than to make completely different clothes (already had enough Tamashi's clothes that had more and more details every time..)

It was my aswer to his gacha recreation of [skittletoc] art in which Soul shows Corrupt middle finger with "F*ck you", but in his interpretation it was "This is why what am I saying~ Fuck you Darling~" It was kinda out of nowhere, but I can see that it's just random thing for lolz, but.. I’ll be honest, Corrupt doesn’t feel funny about that. Therefore, there were two reactions. The one he showed..

..and the true one.

[Really, despite his origin, my version of Corrupt came out quite sensitive and emotional when it comes to those to whom he trusts, craving for mutuality in his feelings. So it's not surprising that this was his original reaction to such an action..]

It was a critical moment. Enough events happened that dismoraled Corrupt so much that even I had to violate the rules of a spatial continuum to simply bring him back to his senses. In theory, this is Soul's work .. .. sigh .. I don't know. It is difficult, I retell the events that took place due to the actions mostly of the person and not the character whom he roleplayed, is this even correct? In other hand.. This is the past that already made. I can't rewrite it, it all left a mark on us, remained in the form of arts and stories. In general, AU about these two together, having special bond, while a friend with whom we created it constantly makes some kind of nonsense aimost all the time. As, for example, through role-playing actions Soul suddenly acts around Corrupt as if the latter is something despised, although they seem to have romance already, as he said? This really created a bunch of misunderstandings and resentments. It can be imagined that at first Soul treated Corrupt with hostility and don't likes him, for a reason, but I can’t imagine him being so vile as to make him to believe that there is something between them, and then brutally reject, playing with feelings. No it's not like him at all.. [I think I still personally cannot get rid of resentment because of many things that have happened. Remembering them, I go through it again. ..I hope that this will help me bury some bad memories, and then I can create new, and better one for this AU. Albeit alone..]

I can continue here.. but probably I'll divide it into a few more posts.. ..because I'm too generous with details and comments.. ..It can take me away into more of my memories and experiences, and there is a particularly cruel moment ahead that I cannot forget. We haven't reached that yet, but I don't think that I can say only a few words about it. Like now.

So it's better to go through it measuredly.. It resonates with my emotions too much.

Hello! I have moved to

@warth-of-the-necrolamb

Anyway I calmed down and found a great way to deal with my overreactions now so since I am a super happy sheep again I decided to pin this. \o/

( still I will probably do dysfunctional or obsessive posts and oversharing [since I seriously have no filter of what is appropiate to share or say] in the future but that‘s just a part of my life so määääääh )

And everyone who thinks they have to block me for being a narcissistic person that has done stupid shit in the past or because you think I should change my behaviour even more then I have already archieved during my therapy:

OK feel free to do so. I am annoyed by people who want to change me into becoming a conformist to morals anyway. My main guidance I have discovered is worth following is my own rules. Even though I may rethink and adjust them occasionally it is still me who is the only one to decide how I want to live my life.

Also I can‘t stand my own past so if you want to blame me or remind me for it:

No use. I am very well aware of my own faults. But I won‘t become a better person when people constantly rub it in or remind me why I should be hated. I‘m already doing this enough to myself. But in longterm I am more focusing on making decisions that concern the present moments as it proofs to give me a more balanced ego compared to my overreactions and pure hate then any criticism from a different person is creating in me.

So best way to deal with this sheep if it doesn‘t follow your standards is to make it do its own decisions cause they are quite likely to make the sheep step by step follow its therapy guidelines and leave its dysfunctional behaviour behind.

MÄH! \o/

A Basic Trifix Guide

i keep typing this up again and again, best to have one central linkable post that can be adjusted to critique & expanded with further insight. So anyone looking for their trifix today is in luck. – this was deliberately kept at a moderate detail level.

General directions:

Basically, holistic descriptions are few, sparse and imprecise, it's better to try & nail each center individually.

Also, its best to think of trifix as indicating where you fall in the „range“ of your core, in terms of what shared traits would be reinforced.

If you notice oscillation or great inner conflict, it’s likely to be part of your core type somehow.

eg. if you feel sometimes vulnerable and sometimes tough, consider 6, which does both.

Heart Center

2 fix generally presents as nicer & friendlier or lighter & softer compared to others of the same core - may be touchy-feely, 'greet you with a hug' type of ppl. This is the rejection fix, which means an assuption that they have to actively make you like them/ create a positive impression. Also tend to stress the part of their identity that comes from relationships, roles or connections. Eg. these people who list "wife & mother" on their social media profiles are likely 2 fixers. May not go out of their way to do it especially if its the last fix but would feel like they "should" be a source of help or be liked.

4 fix - this is the frustration fix, which means an "if it fits it fits & if it doesn't it doesn't" attitude - more focussed on appearing a specific way than being liked. Negativity, flaws, complaints etc. don't get hold back as much & the person may come off as more reserved or guarded (or as having less fake pleasantness, depending on your own pov). Indirect expression of feelings as metaphor, or through aesthetic lifestyle choices, like having your clothes or music reflect your mood. A common sign is feeling a bit embarassed at agreeing with the majority or feeling like you shouldn't agree too easily or completely. Would stress parts of one's identity that come from concepts and preferences & are unrelated to others, like interests or music taste.

3 fix - generally the least conspicuous - In the 2nd spot you might see some positivity, ambition, extra task-oriented focus or self-promotion but in the 3rd its often just appropriately blending in rather than being in-your-face nice or negative. One telltale trait is feeling tempted to repeat what gets praised or to take on labels others affix to you. (not automatically doing it but feeling like you maybe should) , or expressing your feelings by referencing common recognizeable cultural symbols, like movies. Generally have a view of the self as less fixed & more changeable & stress the part of their identity that comes from tangible archievements and other's reactions, like their job.

Impulse Center

think of this is literally your filter on your impulses to act your quality of action. This can also be quite visible in conflict behavior.

1 fix is deliberate & meticulous - the other two are "sloppier". wants things to be done right. just as likely to show as pickyness & deliberateness, not necessarily moralism, though with a superego core, that would be strenghtened. A common sign is bringing up complaints repeatedly as well as a certain "linearity" - you point youreself in a direction & just keep going.

9 fix shows as a greater ability to listen & be convinced (the other two may seem "stubborn"), more careful tentativenes. but also feeling more at ease to "just be", without the urgent fire under your butt to earn or assert your existence.

Makes any given core type less aggro (by the standards of that type)

8 fix brings an unapologetic, disinhibited quality - you just go & do stuff, basically. This can show as impatience with stagnating situations (you care more that it gets done than if its done perfectly right or without ruffling feathers) or speaking louder when agitated. „im here deal with it, my house my rules.“

Mental Center

For this it may be helpful to consider what you typically do if you don't know something.

Ppl with a 6 fix would tend to consult others, & they want not only to know what's up but who thinks what. Often they warn you of frequent bad takes. Speculate about others motives. Information is taken in context - moral, social, relational, political... person is generally more likely to ask for help.

7 fix is distinguished by a lower need to reach a conclusion, being more open-ended & associative & an ability to look at multiple perspectives, to go through multiple possibile, contexts, explanations etc. the interestingness of information is tied to use - is it entertaining, uplifting, useful to get what you want etc.

5 fix finally would tend to look at things apart from context, & to first try to find the solution yourself. As a way of thinking, it'd be focussed on finding contrasts, distinctions or underlying principles. Often results in more tolerance for/interest in more neutral or darker points of view, even in positive cores – 9-5 combos are into some dark shit alot of the time.

Whereas in the other triads I’d say, „when i doubt, attachment fix“, 6 is more noticeable even in last place because of mistrust or reactivity -

It’s 7 as last fix that sometimes makes ppl who just don’t think/worry about intellectual stuff very much at all, because of the open-endedness (though open-ended thinking can also be a creativity boosting feature)

As for the order, the 2nd fix is like a steady undercurrent whereas the third shows more situationally or by synergy.

head last is often carefree & chill but also not very verbal/ a big conversationalist;

heart last doesn’t worry too much about image or aesthetic

impulse last may mean you're not very action oriented & dither a bunch, more likely to react or talk about the thing than do something.
