Uttara Bhadrapada & Revati: Psychic Insight, Time Travel & Dreams

In my last post about Punarvasu & Swati, I had briefly gone into their association with time travel but in my research since I have found that Pisces rashi (0-3 degress Purvabhadrapada, Uttarabhadrapada & Revati) is also connected to time travel, as well as with psychic powers and using these abilities to solve crimes, prevent disasters or save others. This is an important distinction because not everybody uses their paranormal/supernatural powers to do good necessarily.

The word spirituality has been so over used in the last decade or so that it has now kind of lost all meaning as most people don't understand it in its true sense of transcending the material but instead as a way to play around with crystals or tarot or astrology, engaging with these tools in the most shallow way possible and using it as a balm to remain in the loop of earthly attachment.

Some people are born with an inherent understanding of what it means to be connected to the spirit. Due to the way religion & belief are often structured, not all of these people will identify their own beliefs as spiritual ones but you've got to admit that some people are just naturally intuitive and capable of understanding things in a way that goes beyond education or any taught knowledge. What is intuition though? Is it just a profound inner knowing? Usually, it is a combination of several things, including observational skills, the ability to be perceptive and understand what lies beyond the surface, deduction etc. Intuition isn't always knowledge from the beyond but it can also refer to the ability to read a room or a person and be emotionally intelligent enough to behave accordingly.

I am by no means suggesting that all Pisces natives are this way. They are not. But I have noticed several Pisces natives possessing a heightened sense of perception & intuition. This is just water sign culture tbh and as you'll see in the post, also extends to other rashis/nakshatras.

Derren Brown, the British magician & mentalist is a UBP Moon. He's a skeptic himself and has repeatedly said he does not possess any psychic powers but he's never really gone into his methods either. You could say that he has astute observational skills that makes his performances truly one of a kind but its pretty incredible to train yourself to do what he does; you can only build on the natural acumen you possess.

The Sixth Sense is a pretty iconic film in the "child has visions" genre and it stars Haley Joel Osment, Revati sun & mercury as well as Bruce Willis who is UBP Sun

Bruce also starred in a movie (also directed by M Night Shyamalan) called Unbreakable where his character has psychometric powers.

Psych is detective comedy drama series (very underrated imo) that features a guy who possesses eidetic memory and great observation skills and uses it to convince the police department he is a psychic.

James Roday Rodriguez who plays this character has Revati sun & mercury, Venus in Pisces (2 degree Purvabhadrapada )

Patricia Arquette stars as a psychic medium in the show Medium (honestly the police department x psychic consultant is one of my fav tropes of 2000s television). She has a Revati stellium (sun, saturn & rahu) and UBP mercury and venus.

Salma Hayek, UBP Moon, plays a psychic medium in House of Gucci (based on a true story)

Devon Sawa who played the main character on Final Destination (he has premonitions and tries to help others avoid death) has Ketu in UBP

Joan of Arc, UBP Moon went to King Charles at the age of 17 as she was guided by visions from the archangel Michael, Saint Margaret, and Saint Catherine to help him save France from English domination. Convinced of her devotion and purity, Charles sent Joan, to the siege of Orléans as part of a relief army. After several military defeats in which Joan played a role, she was put on trial by Bishop Pierre Cauchon on accusations of heresy, which included blaspheming by wearing men's clothes, acting upon demonic visions, and refusing to submit her words and deeds to the judgment of the church. She was declared guilty and burned at the stake on 30 May 1431, aged about nineteen.

Baffled is a movie about a race car driver who has psychic visions. He is played by Leonard Nimoy who has UBP Sun, Mercury in Revati (amatyakaraka) & Rahu and Swati Rising (Swati is a nakshatra that is associated with ESP but more on that later).

The Dead Zone is about a man who wakes up from a 5yr coma and learns he has psychic abilities. Christopher Walken who plays this man has Revati sun & UBP mercury (being in a coma/waking up from sleep is also a very Pisces theme a la Sleeping Beauty)

In Doctor Sleep, a sequel to The Shining, Ewan McGregor plays Danny Torrance (who has psychic abilities). He has UBP Sun

Harry's ability to see things is kinda overlooked (in Goblet of Fire for instance when he makes those predictions in Trelawney's class). We know that he sees a lot of stuff due to his connection with the Dark Lord but still. Harry's intuition has saved his ass on more than one occasion. Daniel Radcliffe has UBP Moon.

The Initiation of Sarah is a movie about a nice girl who is bullied by her sorority sisters and then unleashes her psychic powers to get even. Kay Lenz who plays her has Mars in Revati atmakaraka, UBP mercury (swati moon & rising)

Nostradamus who had prophetic visions of the future (many of which have come true) had Rahu & Rising in UBP

This brings me to Pisces' connection to time travel because if you think about it having premonitions and making prophecies is tied to an ability to see into the future; you are mentally time travelling.

I have noticed that in several instances Pisces natives are cast in time-travel movies.

Nathan Fillion who was in Firefly & Serenity (time travel series & movie) had UBP sun, Revati moon atmakaraka

Bliss (2021) a movie about alternate realities accessed through drug induced hallucinations??? (i dont know for sure the plot is kinda dense) stars Salma Hayek, UBP Moon and Owen Wilson, Swati Moon with Saturn in Revati atmakaraka

Predestination is a time travel movie starring Sarah Snook who has Revati moon & jupiter

Joseph Gordon Levitt, UBP rising stars in the time-travel movie Looper as a hitman from the future who has to kill himself.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is a movie about a girl who can travel through time, its directed by Mamoru Hosoda who has UBP Moon and Saturn

La Jetee is an experimental French short film about a man who travels through time to understand the past/present/future of WW3. Its directed by Chris Marker who has Ketu in Revati

Pisces is kind of obviously connected to the story of Sleeping Beauty (I'll explore this more in a separate post) but I think Pisces and dreaming (not sleeping but dreaming) are also connected.

Joseph Gordon Levitt, UBP Rising stars in Inception a movie about dream thieves essentially

Werner Krauss, Ketu in Revati starred in The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari (1920) as a hypnotist who uses a somnambulist to commit murders.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep etc was made my Michel Gondry who has Venus in Revati amatyakaraka (he is also Punarvasu Rising but I'll discuss more in my post about Surrealism)

Dreams (1990) is a movie by Akira Kurosawa and is based on 8 dreams he had. He is UBP Sun & Punarvasu Rising

Dreams That Money Can Buy is a surrealist film about a guy who sells his dreams to others. Its directed by Hans Richter who has Revati Sun

All of Miyazaki's movies have a dream-like quality and one is literally a dream (won't spoil by saying which one hehe). He is UBP Moon.

I have noticed many Shatabhisha natives be drawn to similar themes and tropes in their work.

Dreamscape is a movie about a psychic who works for the President of America. Its directed by Joseph Ruben who is Shatabhisha Sun & Jupiter (he also has Venus in UBP) and stars Dennis Quaid (Punarvasu Moon) as the psychic.

Firestarter is a movie about a child with psychic powers and stars Drew Barrymore who is Shatabhisha Sun & Punarvasu Moon

Jennifer Love Hewitt, Shatabhisha Moon starred in The Ghost Whisperer as a person who can communicate with ghosts.

Sissy Spacek starred in Carrie about a girl who has supernatural powers. She has Shatabhisha Moon

Scott Bakula who starred in Quantum Leap, a TV series about a scientist stuck in time, has Shatabhisha Moon

I hope this post was interesting and informative, pls lmk if you have any other examples!!

[charmedreincarnation]

So, I was watching ATLA and LOK for the millionth time, and there are so many elements in these shows that I have applied to my life, it's not even funny. This isn’t even really meant to be particularly educating but honestly I could have used atla and lok alone at the beginning of my journey and still come to the same conclusions as I had today. They’re both some of my fav shows since I was a child, and looking back and seeing its influence on me is very nostalgic. Also the live action is getting produced soon so I can’t think of a better time to make this post.

Chakras

Anyways In Avatar: The Last Airbender," Aang learns about chakras from Guru Pathik. Chakras are like energy points in our body. Each one is linked to a different part of life, such as love, truth, or survival. When Aang clears blockages in these chakras, he can use his Avatar powers better. I had made a post about I will link here but honestly watching the scene in a kids show is more appealing 😭😭

Meditation

Meditation is used a lot in the Avatar series. It helps characters like Aang to focus, feel calm, and understand themselves better. In real life, meditation does the same thing! It can obviously help reduce stress, improve focus and make us feel happier. In both shows I saw characters use meditation to induce a plethora of things.

Talk to Past Lives: Aang uses meditation to talk to his past lives for advice.

Ask for Help: Aang meditates to ask spirits for help.

Clear Minds: Characters meditate to think clearly and make good decisions.

Astral Projection: Aang and Jinora can travel as spirits, separate from their bodies, and etc

Yin and Yang

Avater uses the Moon (Yin) and Ocean (Yang) spirits to symbolize balance. Yin (Moon spirit) is like the subconscious mind, it's quiet, internal, and creative. Yang (Ocean spirit) can be seen as the conscious mind, it's active, external, and logical.

Just like in Neville Goddard's teachings, both aspects need to work together for balance. In the show, when the Moon spirit is killed, chaos ensues because the balance is disrupted. It's only when the Moon spirit is revived that harmony is restored. This is similar to how our subconscious (inner self) and conscious (outer self) minds need to work together to achieve our desires as we want to experience both of the worlds as they work in unison.

Astral realm and the sprit world

Atla and lok also talks about a spirit world. This is like another dimension filled with spirits and mystical beings. It's similar to what we call the 'astral realm' - so a space beyond the physical world where our consciousness can go. Also Jinora, a character in "The Legend of Korra," has a unique spiritual ability that allows her to astral project. So she can separate her spirit from her physical body and traverse both the physical and spiritual worlds in her spiritual form.

Jinora displays astral projection abilities multiple times. For instance, in Season 2, she uses this skill to guide Korra, who is lost in the spirit world, she also uses it to find and save Kai in seasons 3. Her astral form appears as a glowing butterfly-like spirit, and she used it multiple times to lead her friends to safety.

The Void state

In lok a character named Zaheer learns to fly. He was put in jail for trying to kidnap the Avatar. But he obviously didn't waste time while in jail. Instead, he used it to meditate and try to reach enlightenment. He does this by entering a 'void' state when he meditates. He lets go of all his earthly attachments and desires, and this makes him weightless. His ability to fly is deeply intertwined with his spiritual beliefs and his interpretation of the teachings of Guru Laghima, an ancient Air Nomad.

In the show Guru Laghima, who lived 4,000 years before Zaheer's time, was the first airbender known to have unlocked the ability to fly. According to his teachings, one could achieve flight by "entering the void" - which meant letting go of all earthly attachments and desires to attain true freedom. When his gf dies This emotional event helps him truly let go of his last earthly tether, thus allowing him to "enter the void" and unlock the ability to fly.

Reincarnation and the avatar cycle

I knew the shows were probably based of real life because I’ve seen aot nomad clothing, and I know monks are very closely reflected onto the show but really every aspect rings true and is similar to beliefs in Buddhism. This is especially true when looking at the Dalai Lama, who is a spiritual leader in Tibetan Buddhism.

People believe that the Dalai Lama is a new version of Avalokiteśvara or Chenrezig, who is known as the Bodhisattva of Compassion. When a Dalai Lama dies, it's believed he comes back to life in a new person. Then, high-ranking lamas look for signs to find this person.

This is like the cycle of the Avatar. When an Avatar dies, they come back to life in a new person from the next nation in a set order (Air, Water, Earth, Fire). The new Avatar is found using different tests, which is much like how the new Dalai Lama is found.

But there are some differences. For example, the Avatar can remember their past lives, but the Dalai Lama usually doesn't say they remember theirs. Also, the Avatar is special because they can control all four elements, which is a fantasy idea and doesn't have a real-life counterpart in Buddhism.

I was researching my a specific Lama and his story was a reflection of Korra’s character. It's interesting to note that both the Dalai Lama and Korra knew from a young age that they were special. In the show, Korra knew she was the Avatar when she was very young. Similarly, the Dalai Lama also recognized his identity at a young age.

Honestly, it's just a really good show to watch. I probably even missed some elements from the show bc I’m more concerned about watching it than learning something. But I love both ATLA and LOK and I've even shifted to LOK and will shift to ATLA as well! I really suggest watching its so good y’all. Byeee

Void/LOA success by 💇‍♀️anon

This post is gonna be a bit lengthy , blunt and unbelievable 😭 also very sloppily written cause i’m havijh so much fun. i really have got out of my comfort zone and I’m so happy i did. No you do not have to follow every step I did! This is simply for motives and inspo.

So, yeah it's obvious i was one who struggled with void and loa blah blah blah for a LONG TIME! I was a hardcore druggie, physical and mentally abused all my life, had a very rare illness and so much more. But who gaf ab the old story. ☠️

So after a day of sending that cringe ass message to u i ended up prioritizing myself. It’s clear I was idolizing void and I’ve been doubting in LOA too like ??? So in the 3D i moved in with my one and only friend, got a job at a fastfood place (pls this is sorta embarrassing), and decided homeschool was much better for me. Also between that time I learned how to correctly manifest and shiz by you and @theandreiaeffect<3. And girlllll literally less than the next week I manifested perfect mental and physical health, my dream job, desired appearance, and 7,000,000$ with a 15,000,000$ home me and my bestie now live in. I was already so happy how it was. Yet after that crazy ass week passed by i woke up in the fucking void. I have no clue how but i did.

Now for what I manifested in void.

- ‘i heard a rumor’ power - a power of this girl from a netflix show. basically you say ‘i heard a rumor ____’ and it happens. its like a brainwash power? its simple to explain but idk. (If u watch that show my fav character is klaus whats urs?)

- Time travel(?) - so when i got in void it was prolly like september 11th 2022. i just said in the void ‘it is August 30th’ and when i woke up it was august 30th as you can tell so now I’m just relapsing my days but in a goodway.

- changed family - my bestie is like family and i changed her appearance to her desired appearance, more cousins, siblings, aunts etc. my dad being a famous nfl star.

- Revenge - basically just fucking with my abusers life the same way they fucked with mine. I have no regrets so🤷‍♀️

- Name and age revision - I always hated my full name so i changed it. I was 17 and just revised that i’m 21. yeah it was a big gap but idc it was worth it for me honestly. i also manifested i’m not gonna die till like 90 and age like wine so.

- a bf- oh let me tell u. i’ve always had a crush on ralph macchio. and now i have a boyfriend who is his twin but even more attractive. his personality and the way he showers me with love is mwah.

- Removing phobias - i’ve always been scared of animals🤦‍♀️ not anymore tho now i have 2 cute lil puppies and a parrot:)

- Vegan restaurants and shops opening up close to me - I’ve been vegan since the beginning of the year due to animal cruelty and just not enjoying meat.

- Immune from getting preggo til 25 - its self explanatory what i be doing but i’m not ready for a baby yet so🤫

- Being protected and safe 24/7 - anyone around me also is aswell its like a invisible barrier to danger

Now those are just a handful of what I manifested. I literally manifested sooooo many other priv things. Just get ur shit together. I have nothing else to tell u. Honestly idk how LOA coaches don’t get fed up with y’all constantly crying ab how u dont got ur shit when u are the reason why. U have a cheatcode to life. Not many people are spiritually awoken. Do you know how fortunate you are to have discover LOA???? Keep this in mind and maybe ya know manifest ur dream life. To Rem, I thought I’d be on tumblr way longer as your anon, but I’d rather go live my life to the fullest for a while. I hope my story leaves an imprint on the LOA community. Andreia, you have also really inspired me. I’m so fucking happy I made a whole 180 with my life. Rem and Andreia, i will NEVER forget what you have done for me. Thank you so much really. I love u guys so much🥲🥲

yesss im so proud of u!!! when u said u traveled back in time from september i got the chills! and baby go live your life and enjoy it, you deserve it!!! come back whenever u want and update us <3

[utopianparadoxist]

Hi! I'm most interested on reading your version of HS extension(?) continuation? re-adaptation? Ever since I first saw your analysis on Dirk and Jake I've considered you with amazing grip of the characters and the HS universe over all, Dirk is one of my fav characters of all time (if not the), and there is nothing I'd want more for him than a happy ending, the epilogues were truly heart breaking for him (even though I was more than willing to see where they were going with him in HS^2 in hopes of seeing him reach a happy end) Homestruck was and still is one of my fav properties ever and I'd love to see more from you, I'm sorry you had a hard time but I'm really glad you're back, here and in a better headspace. That said, I guess I'm just somewhat confused on in you have something written already or if it's in the works or from where in the timeline you're continueing from ? Maybe you have like, a master post with your list of essays and fics?

I also loved your youtube videos btw

Thanks! It means a lot to read this. As to your question:

The main project I've been managing since the Epilogues got posted is Pumpkin Path/Pumpkin Track, a sequel to the Meat and Candy epilogues focused primarily on Pumpkins and Vegetables as an alternative form of fan consumption.

The first installment of this arc is THE APOCRYPHON OF JAKE ENGLISH (2019), which follows Meat Jake immediately following Ultimate Dirk's desertion of Earth C. Brain Ghost Dirk declares Dirkjake cancelled and (trigger warning) self-destructs, unleashing the inner barriers in Jake's psychology that he always used his inner Dirk voice to maintain.

Thus Jake's own mind begins to lead him down a rabbit hole of speculatory metaphysics, esoteric spiritual symbolism, and esoteric magic theory that ultimately leads to his ascension to Ultimate Self as Prince English: Himself wearing Dirk's shades and orange hat and essentially larping as a Prince in imitation of Dirk proper.

Through the power he gains from this, he blasts off from Earth C and tracks down Ultimate Dirk for a no holds barred 8eatdown in which he reclaims their lost love and makes Dirk his prisoner with chains of love and mercy, cancelling his ability to die and comitting to becoming the vill8in of Homestuck, as well as its Her8, if it means he can keep Dirk safe and alive.

In the process he finally establishes Dirkjake as indisputable endgame canon, and becomes the equivalent of the I AM Christian God, the new existential equivalent to Lord English himself, with a will that predominates completely over everything else in Paradox Space. There may be some surprises that happen along the way, too.

Now, That much of the story has been written and published since 2019. You can read it on A03 right now and always could. In fact, I'd encourage you to do so and @ me, as well as maybe tag it with #Pumpkin Path, #Pumpkin Track, or just straight up #Homestuck for all I care. I want eyes on this thing, and I wanted them 4 years ago.

That said:

I am now nearing completion on the follow-up to the Apocryphon as an intermission piece between the Epilogues and Pumpkin Track proper, with what is essentially ACT 1 of Pumpkin Track: W(1)LDSCR1PT-B4R0QU3STUCK, a high-drama spectacle driven continuation of the plot of the Epilogues centering on a confrontation between Ultimate Jake English and Meat Jade Harley, who must duel for the right to decide if Dirk Strider dies.

In the process of their battle and Jade's necessary Ascension to Ultimate Selfhood in order to Rise uP to the level necessary to compete against a being like Prince English, deeply hidden truths will be unveiled; about the lives of Jade and Jake, about the moral logic that rules Earth C, and about the very nature and purpose of Paradox Space itself.

If I have it my way, if all goes as I Hope, then nothing in Homestuck will ever be the same once it's posted. The Apocryphon was setup. Now it's fucking Sh8wt1m3, and I can't w8.

The first half of Wildscript is written and has been being beta'd for several months, and I have a full outline written for the rest. Anyone who gets their eyes on the thing seems to come away pretty excited. Sometime in the near future, I'll post the first four Chapters of Wildscript on Ao3 or some other platform, and update the rest as I go. And once Wildscript is finished, I have future Acts and Intermissions planned for the foreseeable eternity, tackling off the top of my head: Ultimate Ascensions for Rose and Kanaya, Vriska and Terezi, Roxy and Calliope, Jane Crocker, and Nepeta Leijon and Tavros Nitram as they lead the twin charges of Nepetaquest 3033.

There is no endpoint to my ambition for the future of Homestuck save simply: 8. The only question is whether the fandom wants to come along for the ride with me in the long run. I think Hope Remains that we'll have a great time here if they do.

If not, I hope they have even more fun elsewhere.

Let's rise.

Pressure

Pairing: Kenpachi Zaraki x Captain (Powerful) Fem Reader 

(First time writing Bleach & for Kenpachi, as he's one of my favs, So I hope I did well!)

Summary: Dealing with a busy and horrible day, the reader's stress as a new captain gets the better of her, anger leaking out her spiritual pressure, which lures the attention of Kenpachi, who wants to face the reader in battle, but the reader gives him a different way of feeling her spiritual pressure...

Warnings:  SMUT (18+ ONLY! MINORS & AGELESS BLOGS DNI) (Swearing, rough sex, tiny bit of degradation, slight choking & biting)

Word Count: 2.1k 

I DO NOT OWN THIS GIF

"This...." Examining my lunch and realizing that my lieutenant completely botched it, "This isn't what I asked for."

"My deepest apologizes, Captain L/N-"

Before he could even finish, his body was overwhelmed by the spiritual pressure that I was bringing him to the ground. Now, I knew that becoming a captain wasn't going to be easy, but I was more stressed than I ever anticipated.

So much work, stupid idiots who couldn't follow simple instructions, meeting after meeting! And they couldn't even get my lunch right?!

"All I wanted was a simple sandwich," I growled, the food disintegrating in my hand, "And you can't even do that?!"

"I'm so-" My lieutenant kept going to apologize, but my spiritual pressure only grew, his face about becoming one with the floor, standing over him and yelling out a command:

"One more chance is all you will get! You mess up one more time and I'll hurt you in places that you don't even know you have! UNDERSTAND?!"

"YES, CAPTAIN L/N!" The moment he could move, he fled for his life with the little strength that he had.

Returning to the table where I was handling some work, I needed a moment to simmer down, arms crossed, eyes closed, some deep breaths beginning to help, till I felt a massive gust of wind fly into my room.

"That spiritual pressure!"

Kenpachi Zaraki?

"Unless this is important business," Growing frustrated again, hell fire in my eyes, I turned and glared into his eye, "Leave."

"It's you..."

"Well, yes! This is my office after all!"

He was rather flabbergasted that the spiritual pressure that he felt came from me and by the way he was smiling, laughing chaotically, it only made me more annoyed, let alone when he pulled out his zanpakuto:

"Fight me to the death, Captain L/N!"

This man was a lunatic! The twitch in my eye throbbed harder as I rose to my feet, my hand on my zanpakuto and with the boiling anger inside, it was tempting, but I grew a grip on myself, although still raising my voice:

"I am very busy Captain Zaraki and your request is very childish! Now, could you please leave me to my duties?"

"To hell with that!" He only kept laughing, wielding his zanpakuto this time, "Let's fight!"

I didn't have the time for this but gave him a little fix and feel of my spiritual pressure with the small steps that I took toward him.

"Your spiritual pressure!" His laughs grew more psychotic, and exhilaration flowed through him, "This is going to be a whole lot of fun!"

"No," My words made him pause, puzzled and not expecting me to grab him by the wrist, showing just how strong I was too, throwing him out the door and out of sight, "We're not!"

The crash of his body was audible even though it was out of sight, hearing laughs too that only made me shake my head, returning to my work, finally!

My lieutenant managed to make my lunch correctly too, my work was done by sunset, and I got to lay in my bed peacefully. It felt like a miracle and as the days passed, I noticed that even at meetings, I hadn't seen Captain Zaraki.

Did I hurt him? Scare him? No way! It's Captain Zaraki!

Thinking about what I did made me feel guilty for a change. I was known for being very professional and respectful and although I still believed his request for a fight to the death was rather immature, I was still a new captain.

Working up some courage, I made my way over to his squad's headquarters, Ikkaku was kind enough to guide me to him:

"Captain Zaraki! You have a visitor."

"Who in the hell-" Turning to see, he stopped at the sight of me stepping in.

"Thank you again, Madarame," I bowed to him before he left, readying myself again as Kenpachi rose to his feet:

"So, you finally came to face me-"

"I came to apologize for my behavior, Captain Zaraki!" I bowed to him next, continuing to apologize, "I was in a horrible mood and let my anger best me. It was very disrespectful of me to treat a Captain with such behavior."

Alright, I was convinced this man was insane. Staring at the ground confused as he laughed, maintaining position as he inched closer, making me stand up straight:

"You think I care about that? You are powerful and I want to see it put to the test."

"W-Why thank you," Getting a compliment like that from someone like Kenpachi spoke volumes. I truly appreciated his compliment, but still couldn't accept his offer, "But I don't think it's a wise decision for fellow captains to be having death battles."

"Okay," He huffed, rolling his eye, "We don't have to kill each other in the end."

"You are something, Captain Zaraki," I laughed, shaking my head and trying to make peace, having to get up on my tip toes to match his tall stature, kissing his cheek softly, "I like you. Maybe we can have a sparring session when we're not so busy."

His silence made me think I had killed this situation, turning away with a smile, but before I could get out the door, his hand took my wrist.

"You're bold too?" He chuckled, pulling me back and whispering, "I like that in a woman."

Thinking back on it, kissing someone like Kenpachi, even if it was just on the cheek, was rather bold. His whisper sent chills down my spine, the tingle almost pleasurable, putting a smile on my face, an even bolder thought popped into my mind:

"You know, there is another way that you can feel my spiritual pressure."

Looking back in the corner of my eye to find him grinning made me smile more. Now, he was the one thinking that I was insane:

"You think you can take me?"

There was no way I was going to walk out of here, now. What harm would it do? He liked strong, bold women? It was his lucky day then.

"Do you think so?"

The wave of spiritual pressure I released let me pull him down to my lips, raining some more pressure down while our lips clashed, even slipping my tongue in, hearing the bells at the points of his hair jingle from it.

Silence had never been so exciting for me as our lips parted and this time, I was the one amazed by pure, raw strength, being bent over his desk before I could even realize it, looking up to see his zanpakuto and cloak hit the floor, spiritual pressure something I've never experienced as that behemoth of a man made his way over to me.

"Why are you still in uniform?" His deep growl showed what little to no patience he possessed, and I was much alike, standing to remove my cloak, then gasping at how he ripped the rest of my clothes right off me:

"Kenpachi! How am I supposed to leave in just my captain's cloak?!"

"Sounds like a personal problem," He laughed, quickly whipping me back around so that I was bent over again, "There's only one thing that I'm worried about right now."

Looking back and seeing him nude had my jaw dropping slightly. It'd be a miracle if I could even stand after this, seeing his size and my reaction had him laughing even more.

"What's the matter?" A moan was jammed in my throat as his hand wrapped around my neck, the tip of his cock teasing my entrance, "You afraid?"

"Afraid?" He was intimidating, that was certain, but I wasn't fearful in the slightest, hips backing onto him and grinding, "You're only making me more excited."

"Think I can't tell?" Gripping at my throat harder and slamming his cock right into me had me wheezing, jaw trying to clench, but mouth open and letting free what little noise that I could make, already feeling an ache from having no time to adjust to his size and girth.

Hollow inside as he slid back, hearing that he was ready to speak, not expecting the wicked moan that came out of me as I threw myself back onto his cock, legs shaking at the pound I felt in my core, his cock hitting every spot inside of me and past it.

"F-Fu-" Biting my lip, I couldn't let myself be done so easily, but it was so hard, squealing at the smack on my ass:

"Do that, again."

"Fuck!" I yelled out while throwing myself back again, gripping the edge of the desk as he threw his thrust in with it, only a few having me shaking, feeling the wet clench that I had on him, body tensing no matter how hard I tried to fight it.

"Oh, Y/N," He chuckled, pulling back to see how soaked his cock was from just a few thrusts, "You're worn out already?"

"I can go for more than just a round," I shot, pressure heaving down hard, but finding the strength to throw my hips back and take his cock again.

The feeling of being pushed to an orgasm so quickly was too blissful, not saying it, but my body showing that I needed it again, smiling at the groans I heard above me, burying my face into the desk as his hips whipped out a wicked thrust.

My gut was smacked with powerful pressure, knuckles aching from hanging on so tight, his hips hitting my ass so hard that it stung, fingertips digging into the flesh of my hips, cock making sure to ruin my insides, knees locking as I screamed out:

"K-Kenpachi!"

"Come on," He teased, pulling my head back to see the overwhelming pleasure that made the wildest expressions on my face, "Talked such a big game just to crumble beneath me."

Everything around me was spinning, but his words and tone slowly built me up again, shaking from the spasm of walls around his thickness, running off pure adrenaline as I pushed myself up, whispering:

"If I give you all I have, I want that from you."

"You sure about that?" His growl showed his seriousness, just to growl harder at how I bounced myself off him, pushing myself to new speeds despite how much I was moaning and whining.

"I'm sure," Letting out a growl of my own, my arms found his head, pulling him down. I wasn't one to be sloppy, but jaw starting to hang during a powerful kiss, teeth clanking, tongue about smothering me, biting at each other's lips meanwhile his cock was beginning to ruin me.

Suddenly, the wind was knocked out of me, spinning further into what felt like an endless spiral realizing that my feet weren't even on the ground, pressing my back into his chest to realize that he was holding me up, ramming his cock up and inside what felt like even deeper somehow.

His fingertips left such a hard sting in my thighs, holding onto the back of his neck like my life depended on it, barely hearing his command:

"Cum for me one more time."

"Someone getting close?" I wasn't even in the right conscious but showed I still had some fire in me, meeting his thrust with my power. The thought of getting him off gave motivation that I needed.

"You're just full of surprises," Whining at the bites along my neck, I didn't give way just yet, feeling even wetter as I heard, "The cute little professional a little slut for my dick? Who would've guessed?"

"And you like it," Finding his ear with instincts and nibbling only drove him to new insanity, his pressure alone nearly breaking me in two, let alone how his cock continued to bottom me out, tip in my guts and rearranging me.

"So?" His teeth sinking in deeper sent me into a series of screamish moans, commanding as he knew I was at my end again, "Now, didn't I tell you to cum for me?"

"I am!" I gasped, seizing tight and shaking, "I'm cuming, Ken-"

If it wasn't for him holding me in place, I would've collapsed, only hearing wet clapping and seeing stars, able to feel the mess I made on his cock and thighs, gasping harder at the pound I felt inside, noticing that he was sitting with me still on his cock.

Heavy breathes had his chest rising, trying to hide his panting, making me feel somewhat accomplished, leaning my head back to kiss along his jaw:

"Want to cum inside me? You've earned it."

"What an honor," He spoke in pure sarcasm, but took the invitation, having me pant even harder at the shooting warmth I felt inside, keeping our bodies pinned to make sure not a drop was wasted, the spinning feeling from before coming back around and even stronger.

"Not so hung up on fighting me to the death now?" With tired eyes, I found his gaze, both of us smiling and agreeing with his newfound interest:

"Naw. How can I get ass this good if you're dead?"

TRUST THE FORCE

SUMMARY: Years ago, Jyn Erso's mother tied a kyber crystal around her daughter's neck. Little did she know, this small act would save her daughter's life.

Ever since rewatching Rogue One in the theater as a preamble to Andor, I’ve been a bit obsessed. The scene of Jyn and Cassian on the beach is one of my favorite moments in Star Wars (and possibly all cinema!). I heard a head canon years ago that suggested maybe Jyn’s kyber crystal protected her and Cassian and brought them into the afterlife or preserved their spirits or something like that. I’ve always LOVED that idea, and was very inspired by this gorgeous piece of art by @sempaiko

I don’t really add anything new to the scene…but I felt a strong need to write this. So here you go! LOL! Enjoy this arbitrary retelling of my fav scene FULL OF PAIN 😭

Trigger warnings: nothing graphic, canon compliant sadness and pain

Rating: general

——————–

The light was almost beautiful, a pale orange-white streaking across the sky. But nothing could quite capture the horror those colors represented. A wall of water, steaming vapor, and pure energy moved toward them at a steady rate. This time no one was coming for them, no last-ditch efforts, no running away.

Their chances were spent.

And they both knew it.

Jyn and Cassian knelt in the sand at the water’s edge, watching their fate rushing towards them across the sea. Deep down they had known it would end this way. As K-2SO had used his last moment to smash the data consul, protectively sealing them in the vault, they knew their deaths were inevitable. Accepting that hard truth gave them the strength to carry on. Resisting the Force would only have gotten in the way.

They had both given so much, lost so much, been denied so much. Throughout their lives Jyn and Cassian had gone from one pain to the next, never stopping long enough to let the truth take root, for the truth was too ugly to face. But now, sitting in the sand next to an equal, having a partner that understood, was somehow a gentle comfort. They didn’t know each other, not really. But what was there to know? Favorite foods? Spiritual beliefs? Coffee or tea? None of that mattered. What Jyn and Cassian did know was how merely surviving could eat at your soul. Loyalty could be brushed aside by those in power, as though your sacrifices meant nothing. They understood how picking the lesser of two evils killed a little piece of who you were. They understood the fear of becoming a shell, of being lost to themselves—a result of drifting from one disparate, brutal task to the next.

As Jyn and Cassian looked into each other’s eyes, they felt certain that at least now, in this moment, their humanity was alive, their sacrifice counted for something. In this moment, they existed more deeply and more purely than they had ever existed before. Cassian existed in Jyn and Jyn existed in Cassian.

They were equals.

They intrinsically knew each other’s truth, not by a lifetime of friendship and minute detail but by this horrific moment distilling them both down to their rawest state. There’s no hiding who you are in a moment like this.

“Your father would have been proud of you, Jyn,” Cassian said gently, his steady gaze matching his unwavering voice. He knew how hard this whole experience had been for her, forcing her to relive heartbreak that she pretended didn’t affect her. She had proven to be more honorable and more dedicated than many Alliance members. He felt proud to fight by her side.

She smiled sadly. She knew Cassian was right, her father would have been proud, and she loved him for saying such a kind thing with his last few breaths. Jyn reached out and took his hand. They were in this together, all the way to the end. He’d been difficult to read at first, but she’d gradually come to see that Cassian was braver and more capable than most people. There was a gentle goodness buried under layers of ruthless grit. She understood him.

Jyn was scared, she couldn’t pretend that she wasn’t. The wall of death moving toward them was getting larger, taller, picking up momentum. She hoped it would be over fast. She looked at Cassian for reassurance. His gaze shifted back to the horizon and his eyes flashed with fear for a fraction of a second. He looked back at Jyn, his expression tight with the realization that there was nothing he could do to protect them.

They reached for each other at the same time, coming up on their knees and wrapping their bodies together. Cassian’s hand clutched into the back of her vest, holding her as tightly as he could, grounding himself as he squeezed his eyes shut. Jyn wrapped her arms around his neck, her fingers tightening against his back as tears welled up in her eyes.

Their bodies pressed together, their throats tight with emotion, as the air temperature grew warmer and warmer around them. Jyn began to tremble, her breath ragged as she clenched her teeth against a sob. Cassian’s grip tightened around her, responding to her fear. “I’ve got you,” he whispered into her ear over and over. He just kept repeating it, he didn’t know why. He knew he couldn’t save her, that holding her tightly wouldn’t stop what was coming. Jyn leaned her head against him, one last breath freezing in her chest. Cassian felt it; the roaring energy cloud was upon them and his eyes opened wide in fear right at the last moment.

——————–

It was like being plowed over, smashed, ripped, pulled backward and sideways at the same time. Everything evaporated into white, then red, then ruddy orangish-brown before going black.

After the initial violent shock, everything went deathly still, but then a strangeness took over, a sense of floating, of buoyancy lifting upward.

Cassian realize his eyes were squeezed shut, his body’s natural reflex, trying to protect itself. The fact that he even had eyes, or, for that matter, could construct thoughts, suddenly struck him as unusual. He extended his fingers but felt nothing, neither temperature nor sensation. He took a slow breath and opened his eyes.

What he saw overwhelmed his emotions.

Jyn floated across from him, seemingly unconscious. Beyond her was the galaxy’s vastness, empty and black, with distant stars glittering like fireflies. And there, floating between them, glowing with a gentle, warm white light, was the kyber crystal Jyn wore around her neck. It floated between her and Cassian, still tethered with the leather chord her mother had tied around it decades ago. An energy bubble encompassed their bodies, thrown out by the tiny gem. Somehow, the Force had protected them, transported them. Cassian didn’t understand, but he didn’t need to. He stared in awe, trembling with shock, his body weathered by what it had just endured. Everything he had suffered in his life, every pain and fear and heartbreak fell away. He intuitively knew that none of it existed anymore.

He watched as Jyn’s eyes slowly fluttered open, the curve of her mouth giving a slight flinch, as she sleepily regained consciousness. He watched fear flash over her face before her gaze settled on the kyber. Her chest heaved, tears falling down her cheeks as she realized her mother had saved her somehow. Cassian watched as she reached for the crystal, her fingers delicately outlining the ball of radiant energy without actually touching it. Then her eyes lifted to his, growing wide and gentle as she registered for the first time that he was there with her.

Jyn reached for Cassian instantly, their hands locking together, pulling each other close. He cupped her cheek in his right hand and wiped away her tears with his thumb. She clutched her fingers around his arm pulling him closer in an iron grip. “Don’t let go,” she whispered, her usually piercing gaze now unsure, yet still brave.

“I won’t,” Cassian said with conviction.

Her grip tightened, a sign that they shared the same sentiment.

The kyber still hovered between them, a beacon of protection in this strange in-between space where they floated. The Force was leading the way, slowly and steadily moving them toward someplace new.

They didn’t know where they would end up, but Jyn and Cassian took comfort in the certainty that at least they would be there together.

Thoughts on AotD

I like that "it's about fear" very much announces the theme of Nathan's own fears of failing and self doubt, which stem from his constant perfectionism we've seen since s1. This is really emphasises in Nathan telling everyone he doesn't know how to write the Song of Salvation and subsequently crossing 'band' off - he is filled with self doubt and fear and is unable to find safety with that. This hits especially hard when you get that "is this the wrong song?" moment that hits so sudden and so hard. I think the "come back" line also really feels full of that fear - his fear is reinforced by loneliness and abandonment and grief and it's so, so powerful when he really becomes vulnerable in that moment.

The entire funeral scene is almost unbearable it felt like way too many things to deal with all at once made 100% more painful because they were ruining the funeral. I wish the bit with Nathan had happened back at their home because I had to keep stopping it just to cope with how much second hand cringe I was getting seeing that all happen in front of all those people at the funeral.

Skwisgaar using his own name/3rd person in speech feels new?

Charles' character seems to have changed quite a bit but I'm obsessed with literally all of his scenes because they pack so much punch. From his speech at the start to his return with the fans, his cool as fuck fight, his final smile - i literally cherish them. "Those are my spiritual savours you're fucking with" knocked the breath out of me.

The character arcs are so good! Nathan's "Life might actually be precious" at the start to realising how to write the Song of Salvation at the end. Murderface putting himself out there to help Charles after being convinced he had no value at the beginning. General Crozier's entire redemption arc.

Also character relationships really do so much here. Toki and Skwisgaar's dynamic becomes far more caring and close with Toki literally looking after Skwisgaar despite still bickering. The whole band getting emotionaly upfront with Murderface about needing him and that beautiful "but you always feel it" line is so so good. Pickles knowing Nathan's order perfectly, their "see you on stage" moment, hugging Toki, being so parental, honestly doing the Most for them all. Nathan's relationship with his parents being still loving and full of supportive words. Toki getting Deaddybear back and Nathan saying "you're one hell of a motherfucker" to Edgar in that fond voice. Murderface honouring Knubbler before the song. Nathan calling the band his family. Hell, even Nathan going from despising the fans to opening his hand to them and eventually thanking them, it's so good. And, yeah, his "relationship to music" bit with the visual metaphor penis, i thought that was good too!

Character confrontations are also really good! I LOVE the bit where Skwisgaar confronts Murderface in that really intense voice- probably my fav bit of voice acting in the whole film. Also Pickles cofnronting Nathan and making him realise why he'd failed his task (with that hilarious "this is weird" commentary from Murderface).

The animation is GORGEOUS - especially in scenes focused on Murderface. There are some very heavily anime-influenced moments which are sometimes beautiful and sometimes a little jarring. Nathan also somehow suffers from some off-model moments a few times.

The artwork is also gorgeous! Backgrounds, stained glass, graphic design, so much beautiful work! Similarly to the animation, there is some very anime-esque scenery I found jarring compared to what MTL usually looks like.

The humour is really great! Knubbler falling down those stairs had me wheezing and the gong breaking is funny both times. Murderface's "like us" funniest joke in the whole movie. "That was upsetting!" made me cackle. Nathan's conversation with Salacia was also very funny but I felt that was at the price of a less dramatic character confrontation.

The amount of 'men in female roles' is so good. Mother Pickles and Sister Toki are doing so much gender for me especially because of how much Pickles just COMMITS to that. "bring mommy his scotch" "you're the absolute best mother" both excellent for my heart. Also "you are the beast daughters of the apocalypse" offers so much gender feeling.

Nathans weird awkward moment during the "your role" bit is very endearing somehow and feels very similar to his sense of humour when he learned he could make a silly voice in the shower

There's some great one-off lines. "Sunshines rainbows marshmallows man" my beloved. "Good rock talk" love that. Nathan's entire realisation sequence at the end calling fans the army of the doomstar and that they're the great reuniting is just very fun final moment stuff. "It's about what we do when we fail" LOVE that as a line esp as they do in fact fail to prevent the metalocalypse and they have to pick up and regroup and try again.

Big whale god my beloved.

I really like how Nathan's voice becomes very breathy and weak compared to his usual growl. For a character who consistently has such presence and power it's such a choice to have his iconic voice be the signifier of his internal weakness. This feels especially interesting when we really see Nathan's raw physical strength when he rips himself from that metal wheel.

Seeing the retreat being destroyed scene by scene was actually very sad!!!! As well as all those Klokateers, especially after Doomstar Requiem

The character deaths hit harder this time around! Knubbler calmly sacrificing himself while Nathan desperately slammed against the barrier not wanting to see another person sacrifice themself for him, that hit hard! Edgar's sacrifice with that "my brother, my love, i'll be with you" was so heartwrenching especially after the "do it all for my brother" in Doomstar Requiem. Even Senator Stampingston has such a visually grotesque, dramatic death I enjoyed that too.

The drowning/near death moment was SO strong, however the jarring animation was particularly notable then and the "or all will die" line seemed ? weirdly unfitting given all dying anyway seemed to be the plan. I LOVE that eerily quiet way they handled nathan doing cpr for so long though

"gear in the wheel of the klok" "go into the water" those song references rock so much i love that.

probably a bad take but I sorta wish the resulting Song of Salvation had been....more??? i guess after the musical diversity of Doomstar Requiem i was expecting something completely next level. it's a good song dont get me wrong and i LOVE the lyrics! i guess i just expected some sort of 10 minute genre-mixing thing to really shake up stuff

I love the final scene I think it really tied off the series in a very strong way

Remember when this was a comedy etc etc

[pinkmoondoll9shihtzu]

hi. can i share something. its pretty personal...its sad but also a message of hope.

so. ive been freaking out rly bad about attending this bladee show tomorrow, august 6th. the real reason for this is not just my ocd and social anxiety but also.. last year on august 6th my really good friend died. they were going by the name saint at the time. i only knew them online but we were extremely close since around 2014. we would talk often, and in-depth, bcus we both had extensive interest in metaphysics, god, angels, etc. and we both had dead parents, specifically dead from illness, so we rly deeply related to each other on those matters. they were like 9 years older than me, so i looked up to them as an older sibling. it absolutely shattered my heart when i found out they died because i know it was an accident. i think they OD’d on fentanyl cus they had been posting about relapsing shortly b4 they died. but i dont know for sure, there’s no obituary for them since they don’t have parents or family. i have cried about it every day for a year.

when i saw what day the bladee show was, i felt a million feelings at once, like, oh my god, is this some kind of orchestrated angel event? saint had the most unwavering faith, they believed in angels more than anyone ive ever met, there was no doubt in their mind. we would talk about our synchronicities constantly. it was our fav thing to discuss. they were so validating of my experiences. so in a way, i rly feel like, their angel is escorting me to this show as some sort of gift for making it thru the past year. ive been going thru my saturn return on top of grieving their death, and idk, its just been one of the worst times in my life, ive never been closer to giving up. the timing of this show rly makes me feel like saint is blessing me. bladee, saint and I are all life path 9s who r obsessed w metaphysics n spirituality, which adds to the meaning of this synchronicity for me.

the reason ive been so terrified to attend the show is because i keep having ocd freakouts that someone is going to die or that, like, this date is evil and tainted or soemthing. like literally to the point that ive spent a few entire days this past week just crying in my bed because im so terrified of losing anyone else in my life. but as the show gets closer, i am realizing i just need to trust god and believe that im allowed to enjoy myself. believe that saint’s angel is protecting me and my loved ones, just like they have every day for the past year. they have sent me so many signs, and ive known a lot of dead people but never have i received so many obvious signs from anyone, even my own father. it makes me wonder if saint graduated the rebirth cycle, since they were a 9, and they brought so much goodness to this world. i think they graduated and are now a very powerful angel forever.

its been so hard to go on without them. they were my grief councellor fr. there were some years of my life where they were one of the only people i talked to because no one else could understand. they loved POSTING, we met on tumblr and they were always so supportive of the way i express myself. after they died was when i started drawing and posting on here again bcus i knew i had to honor them this way. i cant put into words how much their friendship impacted me and i wish i could do more, i wish i cld plaster their face onto every wall and scream from the rooftops “THATS MY FRIEND AND I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!”. god i am going to cry so much at the bladee show, i know they’ll b rite there on my shoulder the whole time.

if u read all this, thank you. it weighs on me massively n i try not to show it too much online but man. i have been a mess. n sometimes i just wanna spill my guts. i cld say so so much more about my dear friend but i’ll leave it at this for now. im praying that the show goes well tomorrow and everyone makes it there safely. if u guys cld pray for me too id rly appreciate. i rly feel like saint is with me and im allowed to have hope now. i love you saint. thankyou for posting so much so i have plenty to look back on. <3

top 5 books and/or movies?

Thank you for asking Swaggy 💖

I gonna give you both!

Books:

I read quite many book from different genres, so it’s difficult for me to really pick, so I’m just gonna list my fav books by women, because why not?

(In no particular order)

Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin

This a sci-fi book from the 1969 and was banned for quite some time due to its questioning on binary concepts of gender. It is a feminist anthropological science fiction novel. It was recommended to me by my former professor. It is a groundbreaking work of science fiction, about a human emissary to a winters planet whose inhabitants can change their genders. His mission is to convince the inhabitants to be a part of the growing intergalactic civilization. The planets politics aren’t extremely interesting, as they didn’t value things that are material (masculine/patriarchal) like weapons, money or power.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

Jane is the first fictional character that I relate to on so many levels. I am sure this book opened something inside of me. This is also the only book that made me cry for hours, even days, but that’s due to it touching me greatly.

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

Book with another character that I strongly relate to. It’s also about a very interesting time of the 14th century Russia. The sorry is told rather like a fairytale, yet grounded in reality. I’m not really a fan of historic fiction, but this one has just this good mix of fantasy/reality. It’s a must read during winter. The characters are complex but really well written. Very captivating and enchanting story.

Shatter Me series (especially Ignite Me) by Tahereh Mafi

Aaron Anderson Warner. Do I have to say more? He’s my book husband. No man could ever compete with him. He is superior. He is the blue print to all of my book boyfriends. I hope my future partner would understand that if Warner would come alive..sorry to my partner, but I’ve made my choose loooong time ago. I don’t think you can comprehend my love for this man.

Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Ride

There is no dull moment in this book. I would take this book to the grave. I don’t think you understand how much I love Evelyn’s character. It’s phenomenal, spectacular, outstanding, never been done before. Nothing negative to say about this book, NOTHING!

Honorable mention:

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (couldn’t not include it)

Movies:

There are so many I want to add but I sticked with ones that moved me in some way after watching them.

Interstellar by Christopher Nolan

This is probably my all time fav move. Hands down! I love astrophysics and this movie is a great introduction for it. I’m a sucker for movies about interstellar travel and have science in it and a good plot. The scientific accuracy in this movie is just something that I respect. I’ve watched this movie so many times and it just makes me cry ever damn time. Also I would watch anything Nolan makes. AND the Soundtrack…Hans Zimmer took his whole out and created a spectacular soundtrack. I also just love watching stuff about time being irrelevant.

Before Sunrise by Richard Linklater

I want what Jesse and Celine have. It’s a movie about human connections and soulmates. Meeting strangers randomly and them being an extremely significant person in their life, even though they would never meet again. It’s a movie about what love really is. Strangers who express their most intimate feelings through conversation during only day they get to spent time together. It’s truly a masterpiece.

Eat, Pray, Love by Ryan Murphy

It’s not maybe a cinematic masterpiece, but I like the story of a woman trying to heal herself from a severe emotional and spiritual crisis. There are few quotes from the movie that I like to listen to feel better whenever I’m in a crisis.

The Geographer Drank His Globe Away by Alexander Veledinsky

It’s a Russian comedy about a geography teacher that is actually a biologist with a mid-life crisis and his ordinary life.

Mother by Darren Aronofsky

I watched this movie in the cinema and though “What the fuck did I just watch?” and everyone at the end started laughing about how buzzard it is. But then I though about it and realized what it was actually about, and not I love it!

The Pianist by Roman Polanski (I know, I know)

I love classical music, especially piano pieces and the story of Władysław Szczypman is very touching, especially for someone who has Polish roots. It’s a sad movie about survival against oppression, which is visceral and detailed in the movie. The redemptive power of music and the good of humanity that makes the movie.

Honorable mention: any comedy with Louis de Funes + the James Bond franchise

#get to know nat!

[pop-punklouis]

Hi babe 💗

(I'm answering both of yours in this one) it's fine! I figured you'd be resting up from the trip, I just wanted you to have a message anyways! I hope you managed to get in some nice relaxed time.

Oh yes. We form a good chunk of ourselves when we're young through observation. You grow up and you can see the ways in which you often mirror your parents, it's crazy.

I get that though. Somedays when I wanna read I get through like a few pages and I fall asleep. Or I'm just not in the mental space to read even though reading is my absolute fav thing to do. Maybe you'll find a better time to read if you wanted to, someday, y'know?

Ahhh okay this is a reminder to send pictures of your cats! One of them is a Persian-angora mix and the other is a lil tuxedo cat. They are lowkey enemies even though it's much better than it used to be but you're never gonna catch them becoming friends :((

Stop I love supernatural/paranormal stuff! It's endlessly fascinating to me and I honestly should be delving into it deeper but I often feel like I've too many things I wanna do and too little time. Those are all such cool interests! Umm I love love love psychology. Quite passionate about writing, I suppose. Spirituality. Ooh and space!!

Second ask: thank youuu I mostly just plan on pulling my fic together and maybe reading!

Ahh I've always wanted to play the guitar! Even had bought one but never got around to it rip. Cross stitching, that's pretty cool!! Used to cross stitch a tiny bit. And I kinda wish I had gotten like, art classes of some sort bc I do paint but I've zero training and I'd love some. If I could sketch?? I'd be untouchable. And learning any musical instrument really.

Today's question: what is a very fond memory of yours?

Have a wonderful day love xx

~🌱

HIIIII i just woke up. i pulled an all nighter last night to finish some orders for my shop so i didn’t go to sleep until 5 AM 💀

but! yes, fic used to be a big part of my fandom experience when i was younger so i miss it sometimes yk the nostalgia of it all. wishing you all the best with pulling your fic together 🤍🥺

both of my indoor cats are enemies so i completely get that dynamic lmao but my younger cat likes to bully my older cat more than anything else rip your cats sound so pretty though 💕 here are mine as promised!! (elvis, jagger, dorian, keanu) 🌼

i’m so glad we share that same love for the supernatural/paranormal. it’s just an endless pit of knowledge and intrigue. i can never get enough of it. oooo psychology is a good one. if i had taken one more psych course in undergrad i would’ve minored in psychology which is funny bc all i did was take those classes as electives bc i was interested in them. what’s your favorite interest in psychology? criminal psychology and abnormal psychology are two of mine 👁 and spiritually and space!!!!! yes i also love both of those as well. i used to be a huge space buff when i was younger ✨

playing an instrument takes so much dedication and motivation. two things i did not have growing up lmao i love that you bought a guitar but never played it. very big me energy djdkdkd i had to sell my keyboard bc of the same exact reason years ago. painting would be a dream to be talented in. any type of art actually, but yeah painting would be super cool. the power one holds with a paintbrush astonishes me sometimes ❤️‍🩹

hmmm i think one of my fondest memories is when i went to my first concert. 10 years old going to see hannah montana and the jonas brothers. it’s what turned me on to music and live music as a whole. never stopped breathing it since then 👐🏼 how about you? what’s one of your fondest memories? x

hope you have a great tuesday, love!! 🔮

hey, secret santa here! i'm sorry to hear about your flu :( i hope you're recovering now. sending good wishes and the healing powers of listening to the beatles 🤞🤞

beatles are also in my top 3, every few months i have a beatles phase and i've landed right back in it now. almost bought a load of beatles records today but stopped myself 💪 i agree w you, the new revolver is better appreciated as an album mix concept rather than based on individual songs. and walls and bridges is great :')

it's impossible to find original good quality beatles records 😭 even the poor condition earlier pressings are expensive where i live. once i found a first press rubber soul which was rly dirty and the record was very scratched, but it was still £100 ... letting records go is the worst, even when u rly can't afford them :') i really want some of the funky blue albums, like your AR bc the shade is everything to me!! i just bought 62-66 today but sadly it's a regular black record :( tysm for the tip abt elton john records, i never knew it was even a thing. i really need to get some of his stuff now - did you just figure it out from holding it up to light?? i also want some yellow or orange records bc they're my favourite colours :)

i watched th&t, thanks so much for the recommendation. it was a rly interesting film and i enjoyed it quite a lot! definitely gonna watch it again.

ok so i'm not very well versed in solo beatles stuff so this is a basic answer to the q about solo stuff, but i really love 33 1/3 and all things must pass. and for john i just really like plastic ono band, it's sth i can listen to in the background while i cook or study or something. they're both my fav beatles, but i have to say i prefer george's solo stuff more. not sure why :^)

also, i'm assuming this is the last ask before the big reveal. i've loved being ur secret penpal this month 🤓 i hope you're able to rest this winter and watch some of those christmas films, and i'll be back soon to reveal my secret identity :)) -srs

thank you! i'm almost alright now! :)

good you have so much willpower to make reasonable choices, i absolutely lose my mind once i go into a record store 😭😭 congrats on the 62-66!! and i hope the 67-70 you get will be a colored one :)

i remember reading aout elton records on discogs i guess, then i tried it with mine and it was so cool! they have different shades of red btw, some are bright like blood red, some more of a pink, some have splatters all around them

i'm glad you enjoyed th&t!! i love the fact it's so short and easy to rewatch 😭 don't even wanna count the times i've seen it but i have to watch it again lmao

as for the solo stuff it's a bit of a vice versa for me, i'd have a hard time choosing a favorite john album bc i love all of them so much 😭 i'd have to pick w&b and POB i think, double fantasy a close 3rd. POB always seemed so heavy for me though. and somehow i still haven't listened to all george's albums so i guess 33 1/3 will be the next one i'll listen to! my fav so far must be living in the material world, but i love all things must pass too. isn't it a pity.... not a song but a spiritual experience

thank you again!! i've loved having you as my secret santa and it was so nice talking to you! thrilled to see who you are :) and merry christmas!!!

ok legitimate question where the FUCK did jiang cheng x lan xichen even come from because when i was first getting into the fandom i saw a ton of art before i really knew the characters and then i read the novel and was . . . very confused to say the least. they have two interactions??? maybe??? so i’m kind of curious if the ship is built on a hysterical mass delusion or an urge to give their unlovable fav (no matchmakers for jiang cheng! no matchmakers for jiang cheng for 1000 years!) a ship

Hahah both✨. It's built on ✨both✨. Mass delusion & desperation to pair jc up with someone. Anyone. And for a lot of the takes I saw, LXC is "better" than LWJ bc he's a Clan Leader, and he can, and totes wiLL punish eviL WangXian for being meanies to poor bby jc bc they didn't want to deal w his bs anymore. Yes LXC will also totally punish LWJ for disrespecting jc by cutting down those nets that were putting cultivators in deadly danger when jc was teaching Jin Ling to be a callous, classist, cheater >:0 !! Bc LXC of course will love jc so much more than the brother whom he adores. And jc will magically not be homophobic anymore! 🤡

Anyway my fav scene between them is when LWJ shoves jc back as he tries to strike out at WWX, and LXC is like : Clan Leader Jiang y don't u chill or your injury will worsen bc my little bro will kill u.

Wei WuXian couldn’t keep on listening any longer, interrupting him, “Enough.”

Jiang Cheng’s voice harshened, “What do you mean, enough? It’s enough as long as you say so? You know everything! You’re better than me at everything! Whether it be talent or cultivation or spirituality or personality, you guys knew everything while I was much lower—then what am I?!?!”

He suddenly reached out, as if to seize Wei WuXian’s collar. Lan WangJi grabbed Wei WuXian’s shoulder with one hand, letting Wei WuXian stand behind him, and with his other hand he forcefully pushed away Jiang Cheng’s hand. Rage could be seen hidden within his eyes. Although his push held no spiritual energy, it was quite powerful in terms of strength. The wound at Jiang Cheng’s chest ripped apart again. Blood surged.

Jin Ling cried, “Uncle, your wound! HanGuang-Jun, spare some mercy!”

However, Lan WangJi’s voice was cold, “Jiang WanYin, spare some virtue!”

Lan XiChen took off his outer robe and lay it over the shivering Nie HuaiSang, “Sect Leader Jiang, please do not be so agitated. The more you shout, the worse your condition will be.” (102)

🤗.

I’m really sorry if you have like, a table of contents or something, I’m on mobile. Do you have any books you recommend to read? I’ve been practicing solitary witchcraft and would love more things to read :)

Oh I super do not have anything so organized as a table of contents. This blog is just a personal blog where I, an old and cranky hearth witch, shitpost and try to help as I'm able.

So, first things first. Everyone's witchcraft path is unique. So the books I have to recommend to you are very reflective of my path as a hearth witch. Not saying that ONLY hearth witches will benefit from the books, more that... there are so many branches of magic techniques and my favs are only going to give you a slim peek at that.

Not every book, even my favorites, is going to contain material I completely agree with. Publishing lags behind, and so even newer published books can contain cultural appropriation, or binary gender bullshit. It doesn't mean not to read them, it means read them with a discerning mind, which one should always do, regardless.

The House Witch - Arin Murphy-Hiscock

This one is a refresh (ish) of my personal FAVORITE witchcraft book, The Way of the Hedgewitch. If I had to pick just one book that I felt encapsulated the type of witchcraft that I practice, I think this would be it.

The Witch's Book of Power - Devin Hunter

So, in the interest of transparency: I met Devin and one of his husbands at a retreat a couple years ago. I purchased one of his books, and we were camping beside each other and at the end of the weekend he came up and gave me a stack of all his other books (including this one) for free.

This is one of those books where... he has SUCH a different perspective on witchcraft than I do. And yet I still found parts of it deeply meaningful. My experience of that entire weekend, including the workshops he lead (which were SO GOOD) likely incline me to think better of this book than if I'd just randomly encountered it.

Weave the Liminal - Laura Tempest Zakroff

I haven't read the entire book, but the bits I did skim I enjoyed. Another confession: I don't tend to thoroughly read witchcraft books. I sort of... flit over them, gleaning tidbits here and there. My personal practice is so... not something I tend to see written about, so it's rare for an entire book to really speak to me and hold my interest.

Irish Witchcraft from an Irish Witch - Lora O'Brien

If you have any interest in Irish spirituality and magic, I cannot more highly recommend all things Lora O'Brien.

I hope that helps!

I think we need to call the inconsistencies what they are: bad writing.

But I’d love to hear from the anon who still thinks the flip is happening? What are anon’s thoughts after this latest episode?

I do keep in mind that there could be inconsistencies due to bad writing, but not all of them. There are many that are there on purpose.

Like for instance when Setsuna became Rapunzel on her human night, and we know that Rin has a christmas tree hair, their official tweet is like, "notice this senpai."

https://twitter.com/hanyo_yashahime/status/1466686142997143553

I doubt they would want to highlight their mistakes.

While writing this up, it became a ted talk lol. So I am going to put my rant below the cut if anyone wants to read.(Sorry, long post)

Like that flip anon said, Inuyasha is a perfect mix of human mother and demon father. He got doggie ears, claws, fangs and white hair for being half demon and loses all of that when he turns human. Heck, even Moroha is a perfect mix of human mother and half demon father down to her looks. She has claws and fangs. Gets her demonic powers from her father's side and spiritual powers from her mother's side. When she turns Beniyasha, her eyes turn yellow and has purple marks on her eye like Inuyasha's marks on his cheek when he turns berserk.

While on the other hand, twins look nothing like Rin, are supposed to be half human/half demon but they don't lose all of their powers on their human night. Instead they grow out their hair and both of them have different hair texture, length and different shades of brown eye color. Their half form don't have any claws, demon ears or fangs. Only abnormal eye color and white hair for Towa. They have stubborn red hair streaks that don't even go away in their human nights. They could have used Setsuna's human version to look like Rin, but instead she is way different than Rin, and even Towa. If everything comes from their father's side, lets say even human nights, what do they get from Rin?

As the flip anon said, why even use Kagura callbacks for twins if Rin is the mother? Kagura was a canon love interest of Sesshomaru in OG, would it make sense to use her imageries and callbacks on twins? Or use imageries of any other woman for that matter. I can understand if they wanted to keep people guessing who the mom was, but after EP 15, they should have stopped. Not only is it not respectful to Kagura (not that sinners would care), but it would be disrespectful to their fav ship.

Even Rumiko and Narita Ken said that they think of Sesshomaru as Rin's parent/guardian figure. They could very well be trying to save their asses, but is this something to add in your guidebook that already listed them as married couple? Rumiko even put Rin in Kagura's kimono for the manga cover. Was that a cry for help?

Even the storyline, Sesshomaru put in Zero's pearls in his infants eyes, why? What purpose did it serve other than Zero being able to use those pearls to torture Towa with her memories? Why was Rin praying for Zero's safety when Zero was the one who was trying to actively kill twins and cursed Rin for 14 years? Even if you pass it off as Rin being a kind and forgiving person, would it make sense that she was concerned for Zero, but not about the twins who were facing her?

Even the s*srrin portrayal is off. They use Kagura's flower field for them, EP 15 don't even have them in same frame, he didn't even talk to Rin until today, Jaken is always present when they interact like a third wheel.

They could have easily given them shipping moments 🤢. They could have showed Sesshomaru and Rin's past. They could have made twins like Rin. Even if they changed their minds about their mother after S1, Setsuna should be more like Rin in her human form. They could have given a proper reunion, instead Sesshomaru is fatally injured as soon as Rin came out and now he is dying.

I will not even get started with the extra powers they have, coz they are anyways unrelated to Rin.

You see all of this, and much more, only for episode 15s to come out. It like they have a big label with Rin as Mom, but are screaming and showing otherwise. Honestly, I am not sure what crap they are pulling because even their alleged fav ship ain't getting anything from it.

(If you read all this, thank you for reading. I just ranted away)
