4 day reset for shifting!

Starting my 4 day re-programming today! I'm going to edit this every day and share my journey/ results !! btw this is from reya's video! let me know if you're doing this as well and we can support one another.

My personal goals for my 4 day reset

Reprogram that I've already shifted

Be the master shifter i know i am

More shifting motivation

Believe more in shifting

Day one- Tue Oct 17

Make a list of all my beliefs, and all my non beliefs. Can be anything! My hair is ___, I love animals, etc. in the facts list I need to add the ones I want to reprogram. non beliefs: anything I know doesn't exist like Santa, tooth fairy, etc.

tell yourself that you already have known to be true that I have already known shifting to be true my whole life (which I have on a certain level)

Manifest this list is true !

I listened to subliminals and wrote my list in my shifting journal.

[Result- I ended up having a dream, did a reality check, and realized I was vividly lucid dreaming! unfortunately I was unable to summon a portal or properly ground myself. I did try manifesting "im going to shift, im going to shift" but I only woke up in my cr. I still feel proud of this progress.]

Day two- Wed Oct 18 -12:03 of video-

Do things throughout the day, that bring me into the mood of shifting. While doing activities such as meditating, think of shifting, how I will feel, etc. be grateful about shifting journey. Take a break from actively shifting to make myself calm and just feel positive, reflective, excited and all.

Listen to subliminals

Practice makes perfect !!!

[Result- I ended up lucid dreaming again! my dr s/o was also in it for a minute, but he didn't totally llook himself lol??? anyways I totally forgot to try to shift, but it's ok because thes 4 days are supposed to technically be a break anyway! so I am seeing it as a really good sign that I have lucid dreamt 2 days in a row <;3

also overall my day was good and just had a positive mentality because of my assignments for the day from the reprogramming.]

Day three- Thur Oct 19 ~16:25 in video

Today's task is to spend time listening to people who have shifted. Listen to their stories. What you want you are seeing in other people.

My belief is open to soaking up as much new information as possible (go to trusted sources. use discretion.)

[Result- ok omg !! I lucid dreamt that I was in my dr!

I didn't do any method or anything as I am still taking a break but I did affirm "I give myself permission to shift" before going to sleep.

Basically I was having a normal dream and then began lucid dreaming. I happened to be driving down a road at the time and affirmed to myself that I would shift to my dr when I arrived at the location. I kept repeating this. So I did end up in my dr location, but all within my dream still. I saw my dr s/o and we hugged 🥺🥺

I see this as a huge win and I'm getting so excited to shift tonight !!!]

Day four “The birthday party” - Fri Oct 20 ~18:43 of video

Today is the day of shifting! So everything you do today is in preparation.

Everything is related to shifting. Everything you are doing is bringing you closer to shifting. Pinterest, script, subliminals, videos related to my DR

Little tip : if you're on day 4 you can actually prep just like if you were going to the birthday party, like doing some skincare, haircare, looking in your closet for an outfit, just like if you were going to your DR with this body. You're not, ofc, but it's more like mental prep, make yourself feel pretty and confident, bc IT'S THE DAY, you want to look good and feel good in your skin ! If you manage, maybe this feeling will follow you in your DR and you will feel good and confident

[Results- I didn't shift last night :( im trying not to be too disappointed. I think it's because of being way too tired by the time I went to bed, I didn't do any methods. I basically just affirmed I would shift. Im going to try again tonight using an actual method and hopefully being the right about of tired!! 💕 I know this is just part of my journey and I had some great progress with lucid dreaming during this 4 day re programming]

OK IM CRINGE POSTING SORRY. HI MARAUDERS FANDOM HAVE MY OC, SHES MY EVERYTHING I LOVE HER *RUNS AWAY*

——————

DELTA BLACK.

Basic information: Second Born to Orion and Walburga Black. Younger sister to Sirius and Older sister and twin to Regulus. Sorted into hufflepuff. This Au they are half Latino (Puertorican bc i CAN). THEY ARE ALSO ALL ANIMAGUS, Sirius is the dog, Regulus is a cat and Delta is a raven.

Life story: Both she and Regulus were born Identical twins, the only difference being the streak of white in her hair. When they were around 5 Reg had told her that he was a boy and she accepted him, then he later told the rest of the family and they pretty much rejected him and pretended it didn’t happen(Except Sirius who was just so happy to have a little brother). Around their 3rd Year Regulus got a friend called Pandors and she instantly grew a crush on her (only to find out a fee years later she was promised to Barty Crouch JR)

Years passed, Sirius ran away, Regulus grew colder and darker, she became sadder, shut down. When they became 16 Delta found out about thr marriage thing and about Regulu becoming a death eater. This was practically her breaking point and was a person that couldn’t be recognized. The twins didn’t speak from that point on.

Years went on and they both turned 18. on the night before her wedding day Regulus came to her in tears sobbing into her arms, saying how he regrets growing appart from her and how much his sister means to him. She thought this was because of the forced marrige, while in part it was because of that it was also because that would be their last conversation, their last hug, the last time she would run her hands through his hair, the last time she would clear his tears, their last peaceful day.

a week into her married life she found out her brother drowned, devastated by this news she sobbed and destroyed her house almost killing herself in the process. Her and Barty’s family deemed her insane even though Barty was also heartbroken that his friend had passed and they sent her away to a facility, she didn’t get to go to his funeral. A day after his funeral people at the facility say she saw a black cat and that it was him, Regulus here to take her to the afterlife. a few hours later after she said that, she died of a broken heart.

Both her and Regulus died at the age of 18, Sirius being the only Black child left.

While Sirius lives he sees glimpses of black cats and Ravens, it reminds him of his siblings and he thinks of them as his luck charms, both good and bad. Sirius also see’s Delta’s ghost sometimes, he thinks she is haunting him for abandoning them and that she is a malevolent spirit but she is actually just looking out for him and wants to see his life from up close.

important relationships:

- Sirius: Sirius was her protector growing up but there was only much he could do. She was still forced to do “Womanly chores” and learn to be a wife. Sirius and her grew apart after he ran away.

- The last thing she saw of Sirius for months was his anamagus form running away with a bag of clothes in his mouth.

- She and sirius had a very playful competitive relationship. They wanted to see who could learn the most languages in the shortest amount of time, wanted to see who was Reg’s favorite, who cooked the best, etc.

- She called Sirius “Siri” and “mutt”, Sirius called her “Delly” and “birdshit”.

- They are both very protective about Regulus and both call him “Reggie” and “baby regulus”

- When Sirius ran away they still saw eachother at school and she would try to talk to him but he would just ignore her so she stopped commenting.

- Delly talks about Pandora, Siri talks about Remus (Happy Au)

Regulus:

- Twins, they were inseparable. Both very protective of the other, they also share this scary intuition of the other of when they are sad,lying or upset.

- Delta cuts his hair when it gets to long and she runs her hands through it and sings to him.

- Reg literally harrassed Pandora and interviewed her on why she was worthy of his sisters love (Happy AU. Delly does the same to James)

- Pianist Delta, Violinist Reg.

- They both grew so depressed whenever Delly was promised away and Reg became a death eater, he thought he was doing something good for his sister but it just hurt the both of them.

- When regulus came that night to say his final goodbye he was tempted to tell her but he knew she would do everything in her power to stop him.

- cat!Regulus on Delta’s lap while she studys.

- Delta calls him “Reggie” and “Chatnoir” and Regulud calls her “Del (deldel when its just them)” and “birdy”

the siblings:

- THE PRETTIEST SIBLINGS.

- Have races in their Animagis forms (Sirius cheats and wins)

- all died because of love (Reg had to much love, Delly lost her love, Siri didn’t love enough)

- Sirius and Regulus running around the mansion while Delta looks at them.

- Sirius and Regulus always come to Delta to cry, she was basically their mom.

- Cuddle piles>>

Pandora Lovegood:

- Fell inlove in their 4th year, Sirius likes to tease them and Regulus Ignored Pandora for 2 days before he saw how happy she made his sister.

- sneak quick kisses inbetween classes.

- Delly always cheers for Pandora in quidditch matched even if Its slytherin vrs Hufflepuff.

- When Pandora was told about Delta’s engagement she was heartbroken but eventually knew she had to move on, she told her dauther luna about her.

- Delta’s ghost also sometimes visits Pandora and she likes watching Luna grow up. (Luna can see her but says nothing bc she thinks its her being weird again)

- THE IT COUPLE, they were the gfs.

- Picnic dates where they feed eachother fruit and put flowers in eachother’s hair.

if u read my word vomit… wow. i have more stuff written for them and plan to write a fic eventually so😁🫶🏼

[sezija]

Hello! I recently saw your art of Ghali, Drephl and Rleiph, and decided to finally try out making wiki pages! I plan on making all three of them before adding them, but I have a few questions on about them. (Im pretty sure that you wrote the fic, but please correct me if I’m wrong)

first off, the fic is AMAZING, I cried multiple times while reading it, and everything goes together so perfectly there’s too much to talk about so I’ll stop here before it gets too long.

1) On Ghali, I wanted to double check that she took the last name Shims, because at some point it refers to the family as “the shims”

2) on Frihl, does he keep the last name Shims, or take his husband’s name?

3) can I say that Rleiph has pale speckles in her physical description?

4) could you give me more insight on Ghali’s , Drephl’s and Rleiph’s personalities? I personally struggle with describing those myself.

5) are there names for Drephl and Frihl’s parents, as I would like for them to be in the relationships category.

6) same for Rleiph’s girlfriend. Also, does she have a physical appearance? I’d love to draw the two of them together.

7) WEREWOLF CENTAUR. Amazing idea. What does the kid look like? I know that they’re described as a foal, but WHAT IS THEY JUST HAD A WOLF HALF INSTEAD OF A HORSE HALF, OR A WOLF HALF DURING FULL MOONS. I would love to know things like their skin tones and hair color too. (And coat) also thank you for all these centaurs, there isn’t even a catagory on the wiki for them yet.

8) what kind of clothes does everyone wear?

9) I know that Drephl and Ghali probably just went to a courtroom and signed some papers, but I really want to draw Drephl standing on a stool with her under an arch, where they just hug. This is also so I can mess around with possible wedding traditional clothing during that time period.

10) what is the name of Drephl and Ghali’s grandchild? The werewolf one?

Thank you for this amazing fic! Loved the art you made, and this will be very embarrassing if you didn’t write the fic!



Putting this under read more;;

Ok first of all. omg??? that's so cool what the hell!!! i'm so happy you liked my fic so much???

1) Yeah, she becomes a Shims

2) I think he takes his husband's name (which i don't have yet)

3) I forgot to give her some white in her coat in the art lol, but i decided to work that in; she's born with just a brown coat, but some white speckles start appearing as she grows older :3

4) They honestly don't have much, yet; the style i wrote in makes it really hard to add Character and Personality other than just stated facts like "she likes hiking" and "she's a computer programmer", sorry

5) Not yet, sorry

6)

7/10) I want to give them at least 2-3 kids so i can actually make them all different, though i imagine they probably have 5-8 year age differences cus raising just one is chaotic and hard enough lol. someone made really good art of their kid!!! (i've come up w the names Phil, Lei, and Majil so far) (j pronounced like (consonant) y)

8) currently i've just been drawing them in some clothes from our time cus i haven't had the motivation&energy necessary to figure out the Fashion of their time, but i can say that the blanket??? dress?? things the centaurs wear is like. actual clothing they wear in their time period&place

9) I love that so much. also, it honestly makes a lot of sense for them to hold an actual celebration; your wedding is basically the only time in your life where you have an excuse to gather every single person you're close to in one place for a big party (aside from your funeral but uh. yeah.) their marriage was meant as the point where they no longer cared what anyone else thought bc they were so secure in their meaning to each other, so i love the idea of them going all out and then just hugging.

also behold! look what i found from way back when i was writing the fic :)

#sezijasks #this is. whattttttt i didnt know ppl cared abt my fic ??? #i was like "oo ive got a new tablet maybe ill finally draw the Fam'' #and then out of the floorboards oozed fanart and asks and reblogs of excitement and i was like !?!?!?!??! #its made me write some additional scenes to flesh out their personalities #idk if i'll release them yet they're just lil blurps but who knows #asks #i named zir 'nail' and it took me like 10 minutes to realize thats an actual english word lmao. its pronounced more.. finnish-like #put 'najiil' in finnish google translate and make it sound it out and uve got it #(the 'j' is less pronounced but if its not there it does it like english so)

[Magi rewatch] Episode 12: Determination and Separation [Part 1]

Sorry I did little to nothing last week, I had two exams and then I badly needed to recharge. But now I feel pretty alright!

On a different note, I've finished the first part of that Final Arc rewrite which I've been (probably?) mumbling about every now and then. Pretty excited about it, ngl. One day I might even post it, lol.

Ok, but the actual episode.

I genuinely cannot imagine being under so much pressure.

Five days till the wedding.

No one will let him breathe. Only more pressure and responsibility.

-judging-

God, look at the relief on his face after Sinbad joined the conversation.

So, I joke a lot about Sinbad and Alibaba's father-son relationship of sorts, but tbh, I don't blame Alibaba. It's not just about Sinbad being his hero, or being an adult guy who acknowledges his existence more. Sinbad is probably the first person since Anise and Cassim who made him feel less pressured about everything. By taking control of the situation, Sinbad took some of that responsibility from him - if something were to go wrong, Sinbad was there to fix it. That's kind of what parents are meant to do for their children, ensure they have somebody to fall back on in a difficult situation. The sheer relief he must feel that Sinbad is there must be unreal, especially after years and years of guilt and having to fend for himself. Alibaba is seventeen, and people are putting the responsibility for an entire severely messed up country on his shoulders.

More judgement.

Cool shot, ngl

:(

"My homeland needs somebody to save it... but is that person really me?"

Can't blame him for these doubts.

Honestly, it's kind of funny how his eyes go soft as he starts talking about Sinbad, even though I know it's about self-deprecation. Also, again, bro, you're 17, and Sinbad had years of experience with this stuff.

"Compared to him, I'm a nobody..."

In the manga he doesn't add that "I'm a nobody", I think, but, honestly? Not a big change. You get the impression that this is how he feels, anyway. And, like, can you blame him? Everybody's always putting him down, and he's the type to care too much about everything. It's bound to mess him up somehow.

Also, birds again. I guess it's symbolic? Of what, though. Freedom, or maybe that he'll take action soon? Cuz they're flying - moving forward. Hm.

...maybe it's about them being connected by fate or something, since Rukh are golden birds... Or just fate in general...

"S: This country needs to be built anew by somebody who really loves it. / J: You mean Alibaba? / S: To be honest, I don't have high expectations of him."

Bro's seventeen. Not everybody has been told that their special and can do absolutely anything since they were like four, cut him some slack.

But I'll be actually honest, I don't blame Sinbad for coming to this conclusion. I don't like how he is about it, bc he makes it sounds like it's Alibaba's fault for being a kid and getting very understandably overwhelmed, but he isn't completely wrong. This entire time he sees Alibaba following others around (Cassim), fail at actually leading the Fog Troupe, and even fail at easing his people's worries. Even when he's faced with the fact that his country is about to be turned into a slave factory, Alibaba still can't answer nor promise anything to anybody.

This is something I've always liked about Magi - there's so many points of view, and sometimes it's not about who's right, because simply nobody is completely wrong in the conclusions they make. Except Hakuryuu, maybe. But Hakuryuu's an exception to many things. Including the consequences of his stupidass actions. But that's a rant for another day. But anyway, Sinbad isn't wrong to have doubts about Alibaba, just like Alibaba's fears aren't really out of place and irrational. That's just how it is sometimes.

On a different note, I also don't completely blame Sinbad for drinking here. Bro really went to restore trade with his country, then got caught up in this entire mess, and had to take charge there. He might be more together than Alibaba, but it doesn't mean he isn't stressing about it. I would say it's actually a decent way at humanizing Sinbad to us - he might be an amazing person, but he's still a person.

You go, girl.

Ok, it's a small difference, but I have mixed feelings about it. In the manga she talks about Alibaba on her way out, but here she starts while she's still in. Idk, I feel like the former gives you the impression that she was still deciding whether to say it or not, while the latter is like, yea, I overheard and came to argue.

Always gets me that this is how Morgiana views it. Alibaba didn't think so hard about it, he just did what he believed to be the right thing. It actually happens a lot with him - he doesn't realize how meaningful his gestures are to others, even the simple ones like offerring to be somebody's friend. And at times it comes off as man, this world really is sad that something so small is so important to the other person, but at times it's Alibaba not realizing how much he actually does, because to him it's just the barest minimum. Not enough to warrant more than simple thanks at most.

Once upon a time I was talking with a friend, and they've said that it wasn't Alibaba who broke the chains but Aladdin and Goltas, and the thing is, Alibaba would've been the first person to say that. To him, he did nothing of importance. To Morgiana, he told her she didn't need to be in the Dungeon, and then stayed in Qishan, freed all the slaves, made sure that being free is something that stuck with them, and only after that left. It changes so much about that Dungeon interaction, bc in Amon it was easy for her to see it as Alibaba trying to pretty much bribe her - which wouldn't have been that uncharacteristic for him - but once they left he didn't change his mind all of sudden. He more than proved that while, yes, sure, he tried to get her to stop attacking them, he still meant what he'd said. I feel like that was what recontextualized that entire interaction to her, and that's why she sees him like that benefactor.

On a different note, the smile he has in her imagination is really cute.

"I believe he can save this country."

Ok, sliiightly disappointing. In the manga the Banker literally lied to... I fucking hate this guys name, I always have to check the spelling, I'm gonna start calling you 23rd like my friend Henry does. Anyway, in the manga the Banker tells him that Kou isn't a brutal and strategic country, which in a cool way transitions to Sinbad saying that, yeah, they're a militaristic country, bad news. Here the Banker simply doesn't add that last part that they're not a danger at all, which, F.

Here that person has normal pants. Also, I haven't noticed the magi silhouette until now, F. Love how these guys always have braids.

No hilarious "Was it the same for you, Sinbad-san? / No, I'm different.". What a shame. Ok, there it is, later. "But I'm an exception.". I still think "No, I'm different." is a much funnier wording.

Oh, hey, in the anime they added Kouha and Koumei! I love Kouha's mad grin. You go, little murder boy, you go.

Kouha is kinda like Judar, except not an awful human being.

Haven't noticed until now, but they added chess here. Kinda random choice, but at the same time, it's a scene where they pretty much only talk, so maybe it was done to have, idk, some animation be there.

Back to the father-son thing, another thing Sinbad does is offer guidance (from Alibaba's perspective, at least). And it's worth noting the way Sinbad goes about it. Just like Cassim, he pretty much tells Alibaba what to do, but he's much gentler and more calculated about it. Cassim pretty much emotionally gut-punches him whenever Alibaba tries to question him to shut him up, while Sinbad let's him cool off. Not even that, Sinbad is actually trying to build up Alibaba's confidence there rather than drag it through the dirt. He talks about his father, how Rashid spoke about him etc, while Cassim constantly reminds him of something he blames himself for even though was compltely out of his control.

Sinbad: Alibaba, you're special. And a Dungeon Conqueror, just like me! : ) Alibaba: No.

The moment he sees Alibaba freak out abt the whole You need to become a King, he immediately offers his support.

I don't blame Alibaba for reacting like that. I would've gotten overwhelmed, too.

Damn. In the manga he looks more sad/disappointed. In the anime he looks kinda pissed.

Pretty

[fairytale-poll]

i am here to show a few reasons why cinders ouatis does, in fact, qualify as a cinerella.

(btw htis is not to pcik a fight or to be rude to that anon, i would sjut like to show that there are several thigns the propaganda did not speak of that qualified her for the position, if she's meant to follow all the cinerellea tropes.)

first, her story, then how it falls into line with what makes a cinderella.

so, her mom died. that's. that's kidna a big stapple in msot cinderallas. her dad (the king btw, i promise it's kinda important) remarried to her "wicked stepmother" and then had new stepsisters as well (wicked in quotes. they're- ok. there's a lot)

in the era of a war against king Cole, cole ended up taking over her kingdom/planet, with the help of her stepsisters and step mother, and they kinda turned her in ("wicked" part). she was then thrown into jail.

(also her love interest was, at least in popular theories since it wasn't explicetly stated, one of the commanding officers in the raid.)

rose, her love interest ("Prince Charming" but yk princess bc lesbians yippee!), got to know her a bit while she was still in prison, and there was like a lot of unresolved everything.

then a "godmother in white" (snow, rose's sister, or at least that's how i interpreted it, however it could very well be general white or whatever her title was that snow ended up adopting) broke her out the day that rose was resasigned and leaving planet. the godmother told her that if she and rose were married by midnight, then they woul be able to be together bc idk laws ig? (i mean, i've nevre heard of laws that allow that but yk ok why not)

then at the wedding cole ended up kidnapping rose and cinders fled (she also feels really guilty about this, but if you read the fiction for it, im pretty sure it said that rose had told her to run) and was one fo the few survivers of the everything that happened there.

then she spends the rest of her years hunting down rose wiht this like... mood ring? at least it kinda works like one i think.

then when she finally finds rose agin.... um.

well, i'll let you listen to the album.

(it's sad.)

NOW HERE'S WHERE THINGS OVERLAP

again, the remarriage of her father.

then the way her stepmother and sisters treated her. now, again. never explicitly stated how they treated her before cole came and stuff, but after that, she was in the position of being in rags when she deserved so mcuh more than that, but her stepfamily took it from her (in a few other ersion it's the stepmother making her the family servant/slave, in other version it's... something else idk i don''t read a lot of cinderella stuff tbh i preffer other fairy tales).

then we have the godmother saving her. that part speaks for itself. i think.

then for the ball (or in this case, a wedding to her "true love"), it IS explicitly stated that the rings, that turn red when its other is with it, are made of glass. in the fiction, it said that as cinders was putting the ring on rose's finger, the bmombs went off, and she dropped it. rose caught it, stuffed it in her wedding dress pocket (fuck yeah, i would love to have that on my wedding dress), told cinders to run. leaving the glass slipper (ring, ig, but yk it slipped so) behind, right around midnight.

also, her name isn't even cinders officially! i don't know what it was before, but durring the whole revolution and such and her looking for rose, she edned up taking a new name/persona, much like snow, and was dubbed cinders, "after the her ashen world" (or whatevr it was, idk, i haven't listened to the album in a bit). again, this plays into the whole thing with the name that many other version and adaptations liek to play off of.

tbh this is all i can think of rn bc im kinda tired, so feel free to expand on this. wanted to give as mcuh details as i could abotu her story and how it is fairly similar to every other cinderella story.

however to me, a lot of these cinderellas also jsut. aren't too close to a certain story of cinderella. there's a lot of creative liberaty taken in every version. now, the album in it of itself, (once upon a time (in space)) takes a bucnh of stories, this and many other fary tales, and twists them and makes it their own. it's an adaptation. and when it comes to things like folk lore, ledgends, myths, and fairy tales (especially those), there's always gonna be some inconsistancies than with other version derived of the same media. hell, even jsut the stories themselves almsot never stay consistent.

a cinderella is a cinderella if they are said to be based off of the story of cinderella. (im looking at you carrie, and how no one said she was any less of a cinderella than any other competitor)

-A

If this propaganda has convinced you, click here to vote for Cinders (Once Upon a Time in Space)!

#im going to be honest i didnt read all of this bc i cant focus on it rn #but ofc like everyone is allowed to send in info on their cinderella! :) #i do want to say i dont think prev anon wanted to say cinders shouldnt count for the tourney #i just think they found them less cinderella y than other contestants #but maybe reading this would change their mind !! #long post #ask #propaganda #not a poll

[womanaction]

also wait I realized I never posted on here the story of my husband losing his wedding ring in Kilkenny on our honeymoon while we were watching Farscape so…

ok so we started watching Farscape 6 months before the wedding aka Hell bc our first venue canceled on us about a month before that and my dress came in the wrong size and basically everything was chaos (this seems pretty standard for weddings but I do think we had an unusual amount of bad luck). Anyway we quickly become obsessed with it and when we get to the last season we really draw it out and decide we’ll watch peacekeeper wars on our honeymoon, as one does

(Wedding ended up lovely btw but everyday I wake up relieved it’s over and we agreed that we should have eloped)

we watch half of it on I think the second night but we had gone out to pubs and such in dublin that night so we’re really tired and can’t finish it so we decide we’ll pick it back up. now usually when we’re on a vacation we have at least one night we call Wine Night where we buy copious quantities of shit wine and watch stuff at the hotel bc we are both introverts and we get socially exhausted easily on vacation. since we went out the night before we decide that next night in Kilkenny will be our Wine Night so we stop by after dinner and pick up some bottles (including nice stuff we save lol). we get a little wild and pick up these little beer bottle type meads too. So we get back to the hotel and we’re cuddled up watching peacekeeper wars and in case you haven’t watched Farscape I’ll just say there is a scene in that involving a wedding.

Husband turns to me to go “aww, we got married! We have rings!” Bc we’re dorks like that but then he realizes

he doesn’t

have it

Peacekeeper wars paused. We panic. The room gets trashed. every piece of furniture is moved.

it’s not here. It must be in town.

Since it’s our honeymoon I have taken like a million pictures so I’m frantically zooming in on his hands in each one to see if the ring is there. did we lose it in Dublin?? no, there’s a picture of him from earlier that day holding an umbrella in front of the cathedral on the other side of town. it’s somewhere in Kilkenny. all the other pictures are inconclusive though.

so we backtrack as much as we can - it’s dark and most stuff is closed by now but we make it back to the restaurant and the streets around the hotel. nothing. Also his ring is matte black and so it definitely feels like it could be lost in between two random stones on the street. we get back to the hotel, I email the guy from the store where we got the wine, and I think we finish peacekeeper wars before an unsettled night.

next morning we have a tour scheduled so we go to that obviously. great fun but still depressed about the ring. decide to scour town afterward. we miss the bus to our next stop as we retrace all of our steps throughout town (sorry Waterford, see you next time). we talk to everyone we can about the ring.

also I feel like I should say obviously this is about more than money but uh. It was really expensive and I can’t afford another one at that time

anyway we finally give up and have a sad coffee (we were sad, the coffee was fine) before bidding Kilkenny and the ring goodbye. we still look on the ground on the way to the bus stop even though we’ve already been through here multiple times. I’m checking my email in case the wine and beer shop miraculously found it even though they looked before opening and I looked again. while on the bus to cork I post on several online lost and founds and make a friend in the Kilkenny subreddit who vows to mail it to me if found. I start fantasizing about the care package I will send to this wonderful person when they find the ring as I’m now convinced they will.

we get to the hotel in cork, still sad and tired. I’m grouchy about missing the museum in Waterford too. we decide to go to the hotel bar to have a drink and while I’m in the bathroom getting ready I hear a triumphant “FOUND IT!!”

I can’t believe my ears and I rush out.

it was in the bag. the whole time. we had checked every other bag but not that one. he had taken it off to open the stupid little mead bottles without scratching it bc we didn’t have a bottle opener and then it fell into the deep recesses. I’m delighted and frustrated and laughing and letting my new subreddit friend know we found it.

every drink we had that night was a toast to the missing ring recovered

Day 14 - Jan 14 - Salzburg

Oh dear god lmao

Some girl checked in to stay in the bed below me at midnight and she was making so much noise.. I woke up at 4am obviously and I think I did a stinking good job at being quiet. Although on the train I realized I forgot my underwear that I washed and left to dry on the bed. Oh well, it was an old shein pair.

I remembered in the early of the morning that I needed to remove the sheets which was a whole process - THAT was what was so loud when that girl checked in, freaking crazy

Anyways, I started walking at 4:30am to the Neubegasse U station and I almost panicked bc I thought it was closed for construction.

Anyways, I eventually found it and then I got to the Wien Westbanf train station and took the train no problem to Salzburg. It wasn’t super comfortable but I fell asleep for an hour or so and got to Salzburg on time!! I walked to the hostel and put my stuff in the locker. The hostel had free coffee so I had some and charged my phone. I realized I had time to walk around a bit so I walked around the east side of the old town area and ended next to Mirabell Palace where The Sound of Music tour stop was.

The tour bus was fairly full (mostly Australians, some English, and just a handful of Californians lmao) but I sat at the front so I could be closer to the tour guide, who I initially thought was fun but she ended up giving me a weird vibe.

We started driving around the city and then went to the palace hotel where the lake scenes and back of the house was filmed. It was a BEAUTIFUL sunny day, everything was perfect. She told us a bunch of great fun facts about the movie and how it compared to the actual Von Trapp family story, which I knew some of bc I read the wiki page the night before lol.

Our second stop was the -insert- palace where the bodega from “16 going on 17” was and the yellow long wall is from the song “I am Confident” also very pretty

Our third stop was this viewpoint in Mondsee that was LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST GORGEOUS VIEWS IVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I’m soooo grateful it was sunny!!!

After that we drove into the town bc that’s where the church where they filmed the wedding ceremony was and it’s so interesting how editing makes a place look soo different. This church is PINK! It looks so dark and emo in the movie. The town is cute and I bought a goat HAHAA

I tried apfelstrudel too but they served it cold so I was like meh it’s aight. People seemed to give me a really cold shoulder for traveling solo for some reason.

When we got on the bus tho some Australian asked the tour guide if the nuns actually sabotaged the Germans cars and like of course not lady they didn’t even run away from the Germans like that, that part is entirely made up. Except the guide said it in a nicer way and then the lady responded “Yeea naur yea naur ok” HAHA Australians are so funny I was dying

Anyways; after that we watched this doc that Liesl the oldest sister filmed a while back revisiting Salzburg and Mondsee.

The tour was just absolutely everything. It was amazing and I cried.

After we got back to town, our last stop was the Mirabell Palace and Gardens where they filmed Do Re Mi except in the winter it looks quite depressing bc the flowers aren’t in bloom, its not very green, and it’s blocked off. Sad. So I just rushed to old town to see the museums and fortress before everything closed. The town was bustling which was very cool. I started with the Mozart House and it was interesting to learn about him and his family. He died super young but composed so much in his time. I didn’t realize his dad was the talent that shaped him into a prodigy and that his sister was also a super talented pianist and composer.

Afterwards, I walked up to the Salzburg Museum which was super empty and much bigger than I expected. The history was quite interesting to learn about bc music and art is such a huge part of this town, especially with Mozart being nearly synonymous with Salzburg, but the political powers have also been trying to transform the town into an economic city beyond the tourism. I remember seeing the town when I first arrived and thinking it was far more modern than I expected.

I was starving after the museum, so I ran to Billa and grabbed another Mediterranean chicken sandwich and literally SCARFED it down while hiking up to the Fortress. I probably looked like a homeless person who hadn’t eaten in days.

The hike was brutal - I was sweating, but I caught the most BEAUTIFUL sunset. I was in AWE. This whole day was incredible. Panoramic views of the city. Missed the museums though lmao. I thought it closed at 6pm but it actually closed at 5pm. Thank god I left the museum early and made it for most everything though.

After that, I just went back to the hostel, showered, and decompressed. It was only like 6pm so I was like I should be social..

so I messaged on the Hostelworld app and a girl Lana said she was down, and then I was chatting with this guy in my hostel and he also was down to come out. He ended up being kind of weird. A big of a prick if I do say so myself. Lana was super awesome though and her suite friend was also super chill - both from Australia, different parts. We ended up spending the whole night together chatting, walking from one place to the other. We didn’t stay out too late but it was like 4-5 hours together! They both had pretty cool lives

Oh- we ran into other yoho mates but they was weird

One guy who lived in Italy from El Paso, lived in Korea who was dating this girl from Guam who “looked asian but isn’t” like wtf yes she is if she looks asian. And then he kept ripping on the US and I was like ok

So we ditched them

Went to a wine bar in old town

Walked into a 50th birthday by accident

Went into another wine bar

Dog loved my cuddles

Went home

Went to sleep

Awoke remembering I forgot to book my Swiss trains and realized they’re twice the price now and cried

Calanthe Knew.

Alright, this is gonna get wordy. So hang with me. I'll go into full detail below the cut, but for the half-interested scroller:

Calanthe already knew most (if not everything) about Duny and certainly knew about the pregnancy before the banquet. Let's expand on that. (Spoilers for season one of Netflix Witcher, and spoilers for season two, I guess?)

Ok, first, the basics that are in canon:

Roegner promised young Duny to be repaid via the Law of Surprise. Now he did not reveal this until just before his death, so Calanthe was oblivious for a few years. Common sense dictates that he told Calanthe the man's name, so that Calanthe didn't just give up their daughter and their country to any rando claiming to have aided the king.

Calanthe is known and touted as being well-informed and well-connected. She is a tactician who plans for every eventuality.

When Pavetta throws up at the wedding, Calanthe's first question, in both book and show canon is "Are you [pregnant]?"

Second, let's expand upon that.

You really think her hubby dropped a bomb like that and Calanthe didn't IMMEDIATELY seek out as much information on this Duny dude as possible? You think she didn't have spies who went out, realized this dude just popped up OUT OF NOWHERE right around the time of the Usurper's overthrow of Nilfgaard (maybe she didn't put those two together, I'll grant you that)? You think she didn't know about him being a DAMN HEDGEHOG? You think she didn't go "hmm, ok, monster. Lemme find a good witcher to handle this shit"? I think we can all agree that Geralt did not arrive in Cintra by any measure of accident. And Calanthe was not surprised by his arrival in the least. She arranged for the most celebrated witcher to be in attendance, knowing Hedgie Boi would most likely show his monstrous face that night. I think the books say so outright, but it's been a hot minute since I've read them and I'm lazy.

Let us remember a very vital part of being a royal, particularly a princess: You. Do. Not. Do. Your. Own. Laundry. This means a pretty sizeable amount of people know about your "proper functioning" as the film Elizabeth put it. (y'all. someone was collecting her period underwear and sheets, multiple other people were washing them, etc, is what I'm trying to say). And someone noticed that...it had been awhile. You really think anyone wanting to keep their head didn't fucking relay that information to the fucking queen?? You think there weren't people immediately tasked with keeping track of that, from jump?

Which brings us to Cal asking Pavetta if she's pregnant. Bc very rarely does someone see a person throw up once (and at like...midnight-ish? definitely not during the traditional "morning" time attributed to morning sickness) and immediately assume it's pregnancy related UNLESS THEY HAVE SUSPICIONS ALREADY. Do you think Calanthe being like "yep, let's throw a feast for her birthday and IMMEDIATELY marry her off ASAP" was like...on a sheer whim? Homegirl was trying to get her baby onto a "respectable" timeline (aka a miraculously healthy baby born "a few months early", and only 6-7 months after the wedding itself, a tale as old as time). Pavetta's birthday must have been the closest event that seemed plausible without being *too obvious* as a rush job. Calanthe is also aware that Pavetta has someone else in her affections--she all but outright tells her daughter that she can continue seeing her secret lover, as soon as she's got a respectable beard (Crach) to step up as the unborn child's father and keep everything "legitimate". She's genuinely trying to clean up this teenage hormonal mess. And perhaps, up until Pavetta confirms it, Calanthe convinces herself that it isn't really happening. After all, Pavetta literally just turned fifteen. Young girls can have hella unpredictable cycles. Calanthe is an avoidant attachment style to a muthafucking Tee, so I doubt she ever directly confronted Pavetta about it, though she probably hinted that she knew. But once Geralt claims the Law of Surprise, Calanthe's fear runs rampant and she can't help but know the truth.

The one thing Calanthe didn't know (and the one thing that counts the most) is that DUNY is Pavetta's secret lover and the father of her unborn child.

So when all of this is revealed, why doesn't she just accept it and rejoice that everything worked out so perfectly?

Well. Calanthe would also know by now that Duny is SEVENTEEN* FUCKING YEARS OLDER THAN HER DAUGHTER and the power imbalance would be astronomical, giving Pavetta very little real chance to cultivate, much less hold, her own power as a queen. This is a worry Calanthe obviously has, and one she has outright stated earlier in the evening. Calanthe knows what it's like to be a young impressionable teenager thrown into the role of supreme monarch, and she's trying to help Pavetta from repeating her own mistakes.

Crach is still also older, but only by a few years (in fact, if I remember correctly, it's the same age difference that existed between Calanthe and Roegner, which would certainly feel more comfortable to Cal than say...the fact that Duny is literally only 2 years younger than her, Pavetta's own mother).

So even when Pavetta announces her love for Duny and admits to seeing him in secret FOR (at least) A YEAR (y'all....this means a thirty year old man was "reading poetry" to a thirteen year old girl. just...let that sink in, mkay?), Calanthe just sees it for what it is: this dude groomed her daughter and is using her as a fast-track to power. Law of Surprise be fucking damned, bro. She'll kill him just for being a hebephile and seducing her still-very-much-a-child daughter.

In the end, Cal doesn't accept the marriage (or Duny) because of the Law of Surprise, or because she "sees reason" (real shitty patriarchal reason, to be exact). She sees that Pavetta, with her newly found power, can hold her own against anything and anyone. Her greatest fear (Pavetta being reduced to a figurehead, a captive in her own life) is put to rest by the fact that her baby girl can vocally hurl people fifty feet into the air like fucking ragdolls.

She still keeps an eye on Duny, though. She may not know everything about him, but she knows enough.

And if she does know everything...it explains every ounce of why she behaves the way she does, prior to the fall of Cintra. She's playing chess against a man who took her only child from her, first emotionally and then physically, and who has no compunction about doing literally whatever it takes to have power. She loses, but she still denies him as much victory as she can.

Because she knows. She's known who he truly is, at least on a moral standing, even if not in actual identity, from the first night they met.

{*So the show itself ages up Eist, Calanthe, and Ciri by 3 years, versus the events of the book. However, certain key events, such as Calanthe's age at Pavetta's birth (19) and Pavetta's age at Ciri's birth (15) are kept the same. Duny's birth, according to the books, is c.1220. This puts him either two years young than Cal (book timeline) or five years younger (show timeline). Either way, he is at least 14 years older than Pavetta, and does meet her either just before or just after she turns fourteen. Give or take a few years...still gross, even by medieval standards, even if it was a common practice for nobility.}

whats ur ranking of all of clints solos

oh this is tough. i think i’d just place them in like...tiers instead?

at the bottom i'll place hawkeye v2 bc the 90s-ness of it all is just too much. it gets flare points for the widower angst and effort of developing clint's relationship with trick shot. remembering clint had a supporting cast? good job.

idk if this counts as a clint solo since it’s a clint and kate joint, but next i'll put all-new hawkeye. the watercolor flashbacks are beautiful and they really went for the emotional beats in those but it was just. mm. like the kate retcon, forgetting simone's name was simone and then trying to cover that up, even little things like "bobbie"--it all just felt off, like there was a last-minute hawkeye assignment that got caught in the rain and everything got smudged. and the akira kids decision??

avengers: solo: pretty art, “you’re my brothers” moment, but i kinda forget the plot until i reread it every time. do your thing, detective clint

hawkeye v3: the clint character moments are just so enjoyable, and his lip scar is on full display and counteracts his curtain haircut. riding around on a motorcycle helping whoever? initially for chili??? metaphorical onion obsession? librarian romance? that alone would be excellent. BUT the series is bogged down by casual misogyny and racism so i must knock it down. what was even going on in those laos scenes. basically it’s like individual moments and character motivations as a whole shine over the plot, which was, uh. on a side-note, the cover of issue 1 is excellent and currently my wallpaper

hawkeye & mockingbird: not a “clint solo” per se but i just need to say i wanna know what jim mccann's outline of a clintbobbi wedding issue looked like. please

hawkeye v4: an excellent comic obvs but misreadings since hurt me a little. also i still wonder if fraction remembered clint was dating jess when writing issue 3 and then had to retread or if he panned that out from the beginning bc. well. but as a whole--the art, the coloring, c’est magnifique

hawkeye: freefall: clint’s excellent combat skills whooping his teammates’ asses and an entire underground fighting ring? check. inner turmoil with his changing view on his work and methods after a tumultuous few years of traumatic events? check. putting on the hawkeyed duds as he finally recognizes how everything clashing is just him? thunderbolts come through with the followup im begging

hawkeye: blindspot: short, sweet whump, family/team dynamics, retrospection. i love it and it’s very re-readable and a great rec for new readers if they don’t get confused by the blonde clones

hawkeye v1: i must simply respect the og and clintbobbi beginnings

these are not ranked in a definitive order just a general “clumping together” ok. didn’t put in the one-shot, vs., and things like solo avengers but solo avengers is obvs my bronze age goofy baby whom i love

#sometimes they shift around ok! #on another note i just learned you can tip on tumblr now #i am very confused

moriarty the patriot headcannons

| requested by anon: “uhhh kinda weird lmao but how would the moriarty bros react to an s/o from the future? (Headcanons) thanks! OwO” |

william x reader; louis x reader; albert x reader

word count: 1355

tw: a few swears, if i’m missing any please let me know!

a/n: i’m so sorry that these are coming out so slow please enjoy!

william: 317 words

please

as soon as you wake up he’ll be staring at you intently

“where am i?”

“durham, england, 1880… and in my room”

it takes you like ten minutes to process everything that’s going on because: “i’m dreaming right??? or did i actually shift???

after finally accepting the fact you indeed did not shift and are not dreaming, you finally looked at the man who had stayed silent during your incoherent ramblings

“you seem more awake now, is it alright if i ask a few questions?”

hhh he’s such a gentleman

you both honestly take this whole time shift thing really well

louis definitely walks in on you two and he’s like,,

“who tf are you and how did you get in”

sdjkfhd pls its so funny when you guys converse

his speaking manner is so refined and yours is just,, yours

but he loves it

he thinks its cute

he comes up with a story for you because there were people who were no doubt going to question how you came into his life

and from there you two hit it off really well

accidentally said you two were to be wed during a conversation and the nobles went insane

when you are on the carriage ride back from the party he apologizes for saying something so out of line

“i wouldn’t mind being married to you, william.”

this man always has something to say but THIS

YOU

he wanted to respond with something witty but you just,, existed and made him melt

“let’s go buy a ring tomorrow then.”

asks you questions about the future

only trivial things, never if his plan works in the long term

but judging by the way you talk about your previous life he can tell that everyone is somewhat equal, except for “the dumbass politicians” you speak about

oh did i mention he picks up your swears too LMAO

louis: 459 words

 he’s heading back to his room when you come OUT of his room

“who tf are you, how did you get into this house, and why are you here”

instant kill mode

you think you’re dreaming so you’re like,, ok cool and you tell him most of your life story and he’s like

??????

has never been more dumbfounded in his life

who is this person and what are they wearing and why are they telling me their life story

eventually the rest of the moriarty team gets involved and matters are settled lmao

you all agree that staying in the manor is the best course of action at the moment

louis thinks you’re taking this a little too well so he’s still a little sus of you

like seriously,, the future?? cmon now

the people you’re working for probably made those weird clothes for you

but anyways

you’re helping him clean the house and cook

“this is fun,,, but honestly?? if i have to do this by myself everyday i would cry”

you keep saying this and you know it’s getting annoying for louis but he ISNT TALKING

if you can’t beat em, annoy em

finally gives in

“how did you used to wash clothes in the future?”

and you get this big smile on your face and you start TALKING

you’re so excited that he finally spoke to you

even tho you know you lowkey annoyed him

but you’re talking and louis is like,, huh

you’re talkative, but not annoying at all

you have little stories that make him laugh sometimes

needless to say you both get closer

but it isn’t until one night louis is making rounds around the manor that he passes by your room and hears crying

so he’s worried and he goes into your room

bruh you try pulling that shit where you wipe away your tears and be like “oh i’m okay!”

like,, no u aren’t

louis makes you spill what’s bothering you

“my friends, my family… are they okay? are they looking for me?? they must be so worried”

note that you’ve already been at the moriarty estate for about two months without any word that you can return to your own time

and louis holds you

he teaches you more about the year that you’re currently stuck in and he tries to take your mind off of the bad things

asks william to buy more books to indulge you bc you have some book withdrawals bc “WHAT DO YOU MEAN A TALE FOR THE TIME BEING HASNT BEEN PRINTED YET” followed by a short crying session

he’s a really good boyfriend

you taught him what a boyfriend was and he couldn’t stop thinking about how much society’s view on relationships changed

albert: 579 words

is walking down the streets at night when he sees you barreling down the road in your clothes

you look pretty scathed when you run right into him

“are you alright?”

you’re scared and out of breath but he’s wearing what you can only assume is a uniform of england

he takes you to his place and tries to calm you down

he asks you questions and you tell him everything straight out

you know you look crazy but you couldn’t bring yourself to care

you were just walking back from a friend’s place IN BROAD DAYLIGHT and you felt dizzy and you woke up alone in a dark alleyway

“where are you from?”

you obviously give him your city but he corrects himself

“what year are you from?”

“2019”

doesn’t want to believe you bc you’re all frantic and maybe insane

but your clothes just seem to different for him to brush off the possibility

tells you to sleep it off and gives you his bed

he’s already writing a letter to his brothers that he’s possibly coming back with someone

“ohoho brother albert has a suitor now?”

anyways, albert asks you more questions about your other life as you’re both on the train to durham

albert went out to buy you more fitting clothes before leaving and you couldn’t even repay him

but he tries to get you in a comfortable position so you don’t spiral again

but he’s genuinely nice about it when he finally accepts the fact that you are in fact from the future

funny enough, you both don’t get each others names until you get onto the train

“oh, my name is albert james moriarty”

and you’re briefly like “oh like sherlock’s nemesis” but then you remember that this is only the victorian era

sherlock holmes doesn’t exist, it’s just a coincidence

so you both get to the manor and he introduces you to the moriarty team and this is where you’re like,,

oh my God

this is real and i know the ending

you suddenly want to travel back further in time and never meet them bc they’re all really sweet towards you

and you got attached to them more than you should have

albert notices you’re a little tense so he makes small conversation to get your mind off of things

“i do like to play the piano”

bro

they have a piano delivered to the house to make you feel more comfortable and hopefully keep you occupied

itching and nostalgic (ironic), you play songs from rachmaninoff and joe hisaishi, despite it being from the future

everyone knows chopin so shhh

“that’s beautiful, did you compose that?”

“no, but another composer did, i don’t even think he exists yet”

you’re very adamant on keeping things the same

like,, no i’m not going to tell you how to create a washing machine because i don’t want to mess up the timeline if i do go back to the future

you do get very sad occasionally because you are homesick and being placed in a world where you have only heard stories of is very disorienting

but albert and the boys make up for it

albert always tries to be by your side and if he can get his hands on a piano sheet he’ll buy one for you and see if you already know it

it’s always nice to have them around, but you know the troubles you’ll eventually have to face

[fresh-bag-of-ham]

ok let’s talk SUNSCREEN

SO the UV filters available in the US can at this point be considered truly terrible. One of the main reasons you’re supposed to reapply sunscreen every two hours is that many of the filters we use are destroyed by the very UV radiation they are designed to block. Killed in the line of duty, thank you for your sacrifice, etc. Counterpoint: sunscreen is gross and reapplying it every two hours is the worst. I am not doing that. Fortunately, Europe and Japan/Korea have been much quicker to approve newly developed more stable UV filters for use and at this point they have some really good ones. They also have much better UVA protection, both because of the better filters available and better labeling regulations.

A quick simplified summary: UVB causes sunburns, is directly absorbed by DNA strands which causes the mutations that lead to skin cancer, SPF measures protection against this only. UVA does more generic damage, creates free radicals associated with aging, wrinkles, collagen loss, pigmentation, etc. etc., but can also contribute to immunosuppression and therefore skin cancer. It’s more complex than this obviously but that’s not really the point of this post.

My sunscreen criteria: I hate wearing sunscreen. However, Accutane + sun = an extremely bad time. My ideal sunscreen is something that doesn’t feel disgusting to wear so I will wear it regularly in the first place (i.e. dry-touch), something I ideally don’t have to reapply super often under normal daily use (i.e. photostable UV filters, water-resistant when necessary), and has maximum protection. As long as I’m wearing it, I also want as much UVA protection as I can find, without compromising the former criteria.

Note: The sunscreens I tried are almost all chemical UV filters and several are loaded with alcohol, so if that upsets your skin then proceed with caution/ask me for a specific rec!

Note 2: All of these are SPF50+ (the highest rating allowed in the EU (meaning they tested at at least SPF60) unless otherwise specified *cough*Supergoop*cough*)

Best Face: Kao Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence (x)

Best feel, best protection, best price point. This gets recommended everywhere for a reason. Bit of a silicone feel on the face. No white cast. Smells like alcohol at first. Really, really quality daily face sunscreen. Water resistant. Caveat that because of the alcohol I would make sure to throw a layer of moisturizer on beforehand to make sure I’m not totally drying myself out.

Also make sure you get the name exactly right, there’s a blah blah Watery Gel that’s totally different consistency, totally different filters, etc. etc. It has to be Watery Essence.

Best Body: Eucerin Sun Sensitive Protect Dry Touch Sun Gel-Cream (x)

This was a sleeper hit, so shout-out to Eucerin for the greatest body sunscreen I’ve ever tried. This stuff is SO protective and dries SO. DAMN. DRY. Zero grease somehow, feels like nothing. It’s even water resistant. I tried a couple LRP body sunscreens but they honestly aren’t worth mentioning. Eucerin or bust babey!

More Face Sunscreens:

I’ve also tried all top five sunscreens from this Stylevana listicle of Asian face SPF (x). The thing about face sunscreens that they’ve started doing is loading them up with silicones and acrylate polymers, which leaves a silicone-y feel on your skin like a makeup primer. As far as I can tell from poking through various patents, these polymers are doing a few things in the formula: a) emulsifying/stabilizing the newer/bigger UV filter molecules, and creating an occlusive layer over the UV filter molecules on the skin to a) improve water resistance and b) reduce eye stingy-ness. At first I thought I wanted to avoid these seemingly unnecessary additives but considering their function, these are all features I want/need in a face sunscreen so we’re living with them.

1. Shiseido - Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen Skincare Milk: really good, sliiight white cast but absolutely no streaks, more like a foundation just a hair too light for my skin tone. However I can’t imagine buying this because #2 on the list is better and 1/3 the price. Medium silicone feel. Something I’d probably only break out for when I went to an outdoor summer wedding.

2. Kao - Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence: I have already sung its praises.

3. MISSHA - All Around Safe Block Essence Sun Milk: closest to a US milky/greasy sunscreen experience here, though very fluid and still absorbs nicely. No silicone feel. Not a bad choice but nothing special.

4. Canmake - Mermaid Skin Gel UV: probably second favorite after Biore. Similar, bit less of a silicone feel. I’ve gotten red a couple times using this though, possibly because less silicone feel = no layer of protection against sweat/physically rubbing off? I bet this would be perfect under makeup though, it’s super light.

5. COSRX - Aloe Soothing Sun Cream: SO moisturizing, almost a dewy feel that sits on your skin and never dries. I wanted to love her, but unfortunately she is so loaded with the aforementioned polymers that when you reapply/put the appropriate amount on to begin with, it completely gums up and pills and you lose all protection. Also definitely not water resistant. Probably my top pick for a winter daily face sunscreen that I wouldn’t ever be worrying about reapplying though.

Other Contenders:

La Roche-Posay Anthelios Invisible Fluid (x) and Bioderma Photoderm Max Milk (x)

These two bad boys have the highest rated UVA protection currently on the market, 46 PPD for La Roche-Posay and 42 PPD for Bioderma. The LRP is extremely watery (technically alcohol-y) and comes in a teeny bottle(though same size as a lot of these I guess) but it is The Best UVA protection money can buy. The texture is really nice too, and feels super water resistant. If I’m outside sweating or on the water in the summer, this is going on my face. I've also seen it on sale multiple times since I’ve started researching sunscreens (because it’s extremely popular) so you can definitely find it in the $0.30/mL-or-less tier if you keep an eye out.

This Bioderma is cheaper and also extremely protective (thanks Helena @bronyraurmp3 for the rec!) but unfortunately it stung both my and Mr T’s eyes like a BITCH. Extremely unpleasant experiences for both of us. TBH if I’m out in midday sun, swimming or kayaking or something, I’m gonna be wearing a long-sleeved UPF rashguard to protect my arms and upper body and not worrying too much about whatever cheap greasy sunscreen I put on my legs. This Bioderma stuff would be going on my neck, ears, and hands though bc it’s super water resistant.

Eucerin Sun Sensitive Protect Mattifying Fluid : bit of a white cast, really slippy texture going on and nice dry touch texture when it dried down, but drying down took foreeever. Probably really nice if you’re sensitive and pale.

Eucerin Sun Oil Control Gel-Cream Dry Touch : VERY matte and dry-touch, would have loved it if I hadn’t gotten burned using it (doesn’t have all the newest most stable UV filters). Approaching the expensive end of things too, but would be a lovely option if you really prioritize non-greasiness and don’t need the premium protection? Mr T really liked using it on his bald head lol.

Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF40 (US): This is recommended many places but it has to be a joke that people are actually paying Shiseido Anessa prices for old American UV filter selection, only SPF 40, and no UVA rating to speak of, right??? (ok they do have a PA+++ rating meaning a PPD of 8-16, so. this is acceptable.) I did not test this one but damn wtf. The texture is probably nice though and it looks perfectly sheer in the photos on their website, so maybe as a last resort for darker skintones that show a white cast with everything else? At that price tho... you do you but damn.

Jigott Snail UV Sun Block : This had good reviews on Yesstyle but it sucked. White streaks, bad.

La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra-Light Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF60 (US): Another in the outdoor-wedding only price range. There’s a tinted and a non-tinted mineral version and I ended up mixing them together to get a shade that looked pretty good on me, but needing two bottles for that puts it in the extremely ridiculous price category. Really slippy nice texture that takes a bit to dry but dries down perfectly matte. I guess the person who wants to shell out for a high end all-mineral tinted sunscreen exists somewhere out there but I would bet there are many nice cheaper mineral options out there that I haven’t tried.

And that’s it! For EU sunscreens, I was able to order them on caretobeauty.com, and Japanese/Korean ones from yesstyle.com or stylevana.com, though I had to go to eBay for the Biore and Anessa. I ordered some Biore from a seller on Amazon but they shipped from Japan and I think they got taken by customs because the last known location on the tracking info is Chicago, so finding a seller in the US that has already imported them seems like a good idea (vendor lullabellabeauty on eBay worked great for me, fwiw, I will definitely order my Biore from there in the future).

If you have specific questions about any of these, or if you have any recs you think I should try, hmu! You will be shocked I’m sure to hear I have a whole sunscreen database at this point.

ok so for dear/lovely/vincent, as much as i think that they would have the biggesttt party ever (they have the funds for it), i feel like dear wouldnt be comfortable around so many people, so instead they have a small party with the clan and some friends outside of it

i really want lovely or dear to live paint the first dance, but they cant do that without missing out on that memory with their partners. they just take one of the (many) photos that the photographers took and painted that

william walks dear and lovely down the aisle, brighteyes is the ring bearer, sam is vincent's best man and angel and darlin are lovely and dear's *blank* of honours (i can't remember what the gn name for maids of honour is)

the wedding itself takes place on the winter solstice and the venue is this really pretty forestt. like ther's a water fall, its far from any coties so the stars are shining bright and it just feels like a magic forest ripped straight from a fairytale

- :)

Awwwwww this is perfect! Even if they chose to go with a small party, they still would get like the most expensive things ever

Darlin’, Angel, Dear, and Lovely would go shopping for their wedding outfits

Will pays for literally everything bc he’d never thought Vincent would be getting married, much less to two people (even if they are the same person)

Dear and Lovely after the wedding, when they’re able to paint everything, hang their wedding painting in the living room. Vincent would just constantly stare at it cause it’s beautiful and he loves his partners

For the honeymoon they would go to one of Will’s private properties so they can have alone time. They most likely went to the one that Vincent and Lovely went to during Hot Boi Winter

#next up Sam/Angel #but this is fucking adorable and I love it #leto_talks #redacted asmr #:) anon #redacted lovely #redacted vincent #redacted dear

important question number 3 what do you have on boba and sintas vel 👀 - lekkui

i have... some things! honestly, i wish sintas’s portrayal had been a little more solid in the EU. it varied wildly between writers and in certain comics, she had little more characterization than “beautiful, tough bounty hunter chick.” i hope if they revisit her in new canon, they give her a more nuanced, more consistent depiction. also i’ll be ignoring said comics for the purposes of this post bc it’s my blog and i’m too sleepy for salt right now

but yes, onto the bullet points!

for those unaware, sintas vel was a female kiffar bounty hunter who boba tried to start a new life with when they were teenagers. they both got out of the bounty hunting game and settled down on concord dawn, where they got married and had a daughter, ailyn. boba was 16 and sintas was 18 at the time.

one of the things i find most interesting about the two of them, especially when they were teenagers: ailyn was consistently the more logical and level-headed of the two of them, while boba was always more emotional and impulsive. tragically, it’s this impulsivity that leads boba to fuck up so badly and, ironically, to transform into the emotionally detached asshole we know later on.

but yeah, this dichotomy is seen pretty early on in a flashback-by-proxy, in which we learn that the whole romantic run-away-together-and-get-married-and-start-a-new-life-somewhere-far-away plan? 100% BOBA’S IDEA. 

in particular, we get the briefest snippet of an exchange where boba is trying his hardest to convince sintas that this would be a good idea. and, no exaggeration, it goes like:

sintas: “i mean, it’s kind of very obvious that you don’t know what you’re doing--” boba: “THINGS I KNOW: YOU’RE GOOD AT SHOOTING THINGS. YOU’RE PRETTY??? I TRUST YOU A LOT. see this is a good idea :)”

TEENAGE BOBA FETT: PURE OF HEART, DUMB OF ASS

anyway, boba fett and noted-morosexual sintas vel make their way to concord dawn. here’s some things we know about their relationship before everything went to shit:

nicknames! they referred to each other with the first syllable of each others’ names: bo and sin. very cute :)

they got married using a traditional mandalorian wedding vow. neither of them had any idea what the mando’a meant, bless their hearts.

as a marriage token, boba gave sintas a small red heart-of-fire gemstone tied on a simple leather cord. it was the best he could afford which, at the time, wasn’t much. however, it had significance to sintas as a kiffar; kiffars are near-humans whose members possess an unusually high occurrence rate of telemetry, or the ability to read memories from objects. heart-of-fire gemstones were said to be among the best for storing such memories.

SHIPPY FIC WRITERS TAKE NOTE. three words to describe boba in a committed relationship: PROTECTIVE. AS. HELL. absolutely unwilling to tolerate so much as a dirty look towards sintas. maybe even a little paranoid. kind of understandable given how much grief he’d already endured in his short life.

it didn’t save them

ok, fair warning, here’s the point where shit gets traumatic, so if you want to know nothing but the relatively happy stuff, STOP READING HERE. also, CWs for manipulation, sexual assault, murder, and imprisonment, bc nobody in this canon is allowed to be happy :(

last chance to turn back!

ok. onto the traumatic shit.

so! boba and sintas are doing fine. operation stop-being-teenaged-bounty-hunters-and-try-to-pass-for-normal is going pretty well! not only do they have their own functional little family unit, but boba has a job as a journeyman protector. basically think of them as like. mando frontier lawmen. and on top of that, boba has been taken under the wing of his superior officer and son of a local magistrate, lenovar. 

we don’t know much about lenovar (like, is that his first or his last name, for example...) but we know that boba and sintas trusted him and that boba in particular looked up to him as both a friend and mentor. 

however, lenovar was not what he seemed. once he had the young couple’s trust, he managed to get sintas alone and raped her.

in the aftermath, sintas performed some brutally pragmatic mental calculus: lenovar was a high-ranking journeyman protector and son of a magistrate. she and boba were two struggling teenagers with a baby, escaping checkered pasts. retaliating against lenovar would likely destroy them. which meant not only that she couldn’t retaliate against lenovar; she had to make sure boba wouldn’t, either.

so. how do you keep your extremely protective, impulsive former-bounty-hunter husband from flying off the handle and murdering your rapist?

you don’t tell him about it. you don’t tell anyone about it :(

argh just reading this i’m feeling salty that we get so little of sintas’s perspective on any of this. it’s all just “how did this make boba feel? how did it affect boba’s life?” and it’s like GOOD GOD. this woman is now maybe 20 years old, making the absolutely-gutting decision to keep her sexual assault a secret from her closest friend bc it’s the only way to protect her and him and their daughter from being steamrolled by the system. and like, nobody thought to expand on that? 

nope, we just get a comic where she’s needlessly sexualized and drawn to look young enough to be boba’s daughter despite the fact that she’s older than him and ugh

OKAY. enough salt. moving on.

sintas’s plan works for all of a year, at which point boba somehow finds out the truth. and everything goes straight to hell.

boba, finding out that sintas kept her sexual assault by lenovar a secret for a whole year (and remember, boba was probably continuing to work under and look up to lenovar during this time), is utterly furious. of course, he wants nothing more than to murder the shit out of lenovar and is only further enraged when sintas tries to logically talk him out of it. in his anger, he proceeds to verbally torch ALL the bridges in their relationship, at one point even cruelly questioning if ailyn is even his daughter. he then storms off and makes good on his threats to kill lenovar

in the aftermath, boba was branded not just a murderer, but the murderer of his superior officer—an even more serious crime. yet, despite repeated interrogations, he refused to say why he had done it, fearing that doing so would drag sintas down with him. he only insisted that he felt no remorse for killing lenovar and that lenovar deserved to die.

in the end, his efforts didn’t save sintas—the courts seized all of what meager assets they had, leaving them all penniless. boba was then exiled from concord dawn and wouldn’t see his wife and daughter again for fifty years.

after everything that happened, boba was a changed person. it’s as if that spark of optimism and dare-i-say goodness that had survived his father’s death was snuffed out, leaving only a cynical, angry shell, laser-focused on violence because it was the one part of his father’s legacy he hadn’t yet failed.

sintas and ailyn, meanwhile, struggled to pull themselves out of poverty, with sintas reluctantly returning to bounty hunting to support them. ailyn never forgave her father for abandoning them, which led to its own equally-disastrous tragedy some decades down the line.

moral of the story is to listen to your wife and don’t make her sexual assault all about your stupid need for revenge. like, i get that the rapist needs to die but maybe like... work with your wife and make it look like an accident? don’t be an impulsive fucking inconsiderate idiot? maybe realize that your wife probably just endured the most hellish year of her life to protect YOUR dumb ass?

honestly, as frustrating as teenage!boba is, you can’t even be that angry at him bc like... he and sintas were both victims reacting imperfectly to absolutely shit circumstances. lenovar is the real villain here.

never going to be over how tragic it is that these two kids tried so fucking hard to derail their villainous origin stories, only to be forced onto even more brutal tracks bc the one adult they should’ve been able to trust in their situation ended up being a predator :(

#snowberry-pie #sintas vel #boba fett #lenovar #the fact that sintas was never spotlighted as a perspective character in the EU....... criminal

[gebtoons]

my contribution to the bapo timeline discourse bc i’m just gonna propose a timeline and will not be taking criticism <3 (under the cut bc this is gonna be a long post probably) 

ok disclaimer I am quite stupid, however I’m gonna use my knowledge from my own 12 years in american public high school and what little info I have about american boarding schools/catholic schools that I have from my friends lol. so. idk. 

i’m also gonna date songs/major events and i’m gonna be taking some “just trust me bro” liberties bc y’all are right it does NOT make that much sense. 

January 6: Epiphany; this is like an actual holiday lol. like its always on the sixth. idk its good that this is the starting point bc its an actual date yknow? For the purposes of this timeline were going with that its early in the week, so lets go with Monday idk

January 6-13: You and I, Role of a Lifetime; so we’re all kinda in agreement that this timeline (at least the beginning) only really makes sense if you and i/role of a lifetime aren’t like. a singular moment and are instead multiple days. so yeah, of this first week, this is like. monday-next sunday ish yknow. 

January 14: Auditions, Plain Jane Fatass; ok so having auditions for a spring musical right after kids get back from break actually makes perfect sense to me, like i can see it being like “ok take break to prepare so as soon as you come back we can have auditions so we can jump right into rehersals” yknow? and since the rave is clearly on a friday (”we’ll meet in tanya’s room on friday night”) so i’m going with the monday before.  

as for pjf, i know it doesn’t make a ton of sense for them to get a two week late birthday package their first few weeks back from school, but hear me out it makes sense. the implication throughout this entire show is that the twins have decently shitty parents. from bits of dialogue (in this song in particular lol) i’m kinda inferring their the “only concerned with how their kids make them look to others” kind of neglectful. so I don’t think it’s too outside the realm of possibility that they went away for the holidays, didn’t bring the twins, and instead mailed them a birthday package and having it show up two weeks late. realistically the timing of this isnt that important and the explicit “two week” time frame could’ve been an exaggeration on nadia’s part to mock her shit parents (idk its in her character) basically ppl are a little two fixated on this imo but anyway. moving on. 

January 18: Wonderland, A Quiet Night At Home, Rolling, Best Kept Secret; a very agreed upon point in the timeline. its the friday following the auditions. moving on. 

January 21: Confession; also very agreed upon. the monday following the rave. moving on again 

January 23: Portrait of a Girl; the date here is kinda arbitrary, but bc sister chantelle says “ok lets try to put yesterday’s rehearsal behind us” and i for the life of me cannot think of a scene she could be referring to (there’s none in the script either) that implies it wasn’t the same monday as confession (bc even in a boarding school i think holding extracurriculars that aren’t sports over the weekend (especially when they are no where near crunch time lol) is weird and not common) so i just picked a random day during the week

January 25: Birthday Bitch!, One Kiss, Are You There?; from matt’s line in wonderland, ivy’s birthday is a week after the rave. in my timeline that’s january 25th (an aquarius queen). 

btw given all grown up’s “17, how will i manage?” ivy is 16 during 17 at her party, which is strange given shes a high school senior and seniors are typically 17 during 18. so either a) she skipped a grade, not an unheard of thing. or b) shes not a senior, shes just a junior who hangs out with a bunch of seniors, which is also pretty common. and looking through the script i can’t find any mention that she is also a senior, other than yknow she graduates with them, but she isn’t mentioned during the class ranking scene? so idk not that it really matters just a fun detail 

February 3 (at night): 911 Emergency!; ok controversial. i know i like the joke about how its funny that peter having a weird dream when he was high prompted him to want to come out and really ruined his relationship with jason. BUT. i think the dream (despite it’s weirdness) would have a lot more meaning if it wasn’t the result of being really high, but if it was a dream he had like a week later as a result of a building sense of guilt/anxiety bc he told matt. also it fits better given later timeline things. (this timeline literally only exists if there are weird jumps in time that don’t make a ton of sense) (EDIT: I forgot one line about Jason crashing at ivys but fuck it forget that bitchass line this makes for more drama its staying this way)

February 4: Reputation Stain’d, Ever After; the next day following peter’s dream, idk what else to say, moving on. 

February 25-28: Spring; another jump! i’m sorry but the only way for this to make sense logistically is for there to be quite a few time jumps! however, i also think this one works bc i think it gives time for everything from around ivy’s party and peter and jason’s break up to stew emotionally. like obviously a musical only has so much time to tell a story so the audience cannot see every realistic beat, but honestly i think it makes the whole thing a little more dramatic™ if there’s space for everything to settle, and for ivy to come and apologize and such. also, the reason it’s multiple days is bc in the script, ivy is trying to study (presumably for some sort of midterm) while nadia is playing, so that probably takes place a few days before they move out, so before finals. but in the script, jason and peter are packing and peter is leaving, so that part of the song/staging takes place on the 28th. yes, that’s weird, but we are clearly thinking more about the logistics of this school than the writers were so. 

March 1: One; assuming st. cecilia’s works kinda like boarding schools here, they probably do staggered move out/move in, just bc that would be a lot to have people coming and going at once so it makes sense that peter left the day before, while jason and ivy are leaving the next day. also, given that peter is trying to call jason while he and ivy are banging, it’s probably been a hot minute since the actual break up, since peter was clearly very hurt by the whole thing, it would make sense (at least to me) that peter would reach out a month ish later, rather than like a few days later (you have to make so many assumptions to make this timeline work granted they aren’t super out there assumptions but still this is annoying) 

March 1-25: Spring Break. the coworkers I have who are in boarding school work over their school breaks, which are longer than the public school breaks (which are only a week) so i put their spring break at 3 weeks. it makes sense, and it makes the later part of the timeline make sense. 

I know i’m already halfway through this, but to me it makes sense for their to be quite a few time jumps in the story bc its a musical. they cannot show every day. there are a lot of other shows (particularly shows set in high schools) that are set over a whole school year, but if you just look at the events of the story that doesn’t make sense, so you have to imply that obviously they are not showing every little detail. moving on. 

March 25: Wedding Bells, In The Hallway, Touch My Soul; peter wakes up from his nightmare in the church, so im assuming he fell asleep in church (like he almost did during epiphany). also it makes sense that class ranks are announced in late march-early april, I know my school announced ours in like, the first week or so of april? so yeah. moving on.

(from this point on i was giving myself a headache trying to make it make sense so its all weird from here!!)

April 4: See Me, Warning; the date doesn’t really matter here, I picked a random day in early april. the script said peter is calling from him and jason’s old dorm room, as he was picking up the last of his things, so he clearly made the roommate switch after school started (makes sense to me). 

April 15-20 (approximately): Ivy finds out she’s pregnant. look google tells me on average people find out they are pregnant around 5-7 weeks after conception. i went with around 7 just so this timeline makes a tiny bit more sense given the later stuff, so yeah here we go. 

May 4: Pilgrim’s Hands, God Don’t Make No Trash, All Grown Up, Promise, Once Upon A Time, Cross; a rough night for our heroes. so given sister chantelle saying “again? wonderful.” and nadia saying “i can’t believe you missed rehearsal again”, clearly ivy has been missing quite a few rehearsals, so for dramas sake maybe from when she found out she was pregnant? also i know i’ve been saying they wouldn’t have rehearsals on weekends, and given my weird timeline this would be a saturday, but its tech week so i’ll allow it. 

May 5: Two Households, Bare, Queen Mab, A Glooming Peace; pretty self explanatory, and it makes sense to have the spring play in early may. rip jason. 

May 11: Absolution; the day before graduation peter goes to confront the priest. gives him a small amount of time to start processing, and it makes sense it would be the night before, at least to me. 

May 12: No Voice; i fucking hate this. “peter, we graduate next sunday” i hate that stupid fucking line. do you know that this timeline literally would be fine if it weren’t for that stupid fucking line? bc then, the school play would be in early may and graduation could be in late may-early june (when most high schools hold graduation) but no. keeping with continuity, they have to graduate the sunday following the school play. “peter we graduate in a month, are you really never gonna talk to me again?” would have been fine. but no, now we have beef. literally everything else about the end of this timeline being kinda weird would work itself out, except for the fucking graduation. god damn. anyway, may 12th, the graduate on may 12th which is really fucking weird bc of that one fucking line. whatever. i didn’t write the damn thing bc if i did i wouldn’t have written that fucking line. (i’ve been at this for over an hour and a half, so i’m a tad annoyed, can you tell?) 

anyway, that’s it. that’s my long as hell proposed bare timeline. if there’s anything glaringly wrong with it i don’t care bc this timeline literally cannot make sense. but honestly, now that i think about the Popular Tween High Schooler Musicals (heathers, bmc, deh) the timelines of those (especially heathers and bmc) don’t make tons of sense either. that’s just the way it is, that’s the way its gonna be. and we have to live with it. 

this post is so long it is actually slowing down my laptop as i type it
