#not me having 20 tabs open

[sleepless-rants]

hi sleepless.!!!!! I was wondering if you had any theories on surtalogi & vedrfolnir’e identities? since going off etymology , we can only assume they’re from or connected khaneri’ah in some way,, 💜

OK OK heres a not so intellectual brainstorming (key word: BRAINSTORMING. THIS IS PURELY BRAINSTORMING so if you see me say something then contradict it in the same sentence dont be surprised). So about surtalogi

The actual norse mythology surtalogi is a flaming sword surtr used in the ragnarok which he will use to fight the gods and the flame from said sword will eventually burn down the whole world. Which has lead a lot of people to believe he might be dainsleif (yknow since they're both swords) but I personally dont think that that is the case for a few reasons:

1- skirk refers to surtalogi in the same light as rhinedottir, so we can assume he does something like her.

2- in some sources surtalogi is the fire itself not the sword so its kinda hit or miss

3- surtalogi is waist deep in abyssal power which we know dain is not the most fond of.

4: dainsleif and surtalogi are two seperate swords?? so this for me is kinda like saying durin and dvalin are the same because they're both dwarves in norse mythology.

Again I havent deep dived into this theory so let me know if im missing some additional information but I feel like trying to attach him to a pure blood khaenriahn we already know seems kinda easy (yes the "we need more khaenriah characters agenda")

Where I think we should really be looking to try to figure out surtalogi's identity isn't surtalogi itself but surtr. NOW, NOW LET ME COOK.

Surtr was a fire giant who ruled muspelheim (the fire realm in norse mythology) and lead the fire giants in a battle against the gods during ragnorok, eventually ending the world with his fire. Now surtr is also one of the primordial giants.

what do we associate dragons with? Fire. Battle with the gods? Dragon sovereigns. Primordial giants? Again, dragon sovereigns. It seems so perfect except this would be contradicting my own theory of irmin and nibelung being the same since irmin=odin and surtr is way older than odin. Also another thing: hoyo usually likes to name dragons after dwarves in norse mythology. In fact nibelung himself is a dwarf. Would it be symbolism for them to also use a giant for his refrence or would it be disqualifying this possibility?

Also its worth keeping in mind that in mythology, at the end of ragnarok surtr successfully defeated all the gods and burned down the world, which obviously did not happen with the sovereigns.

HOWEVER. the whole theme of burning down the old world to let a new, better world be born from the ashes very much reminds me of fatui shit, and more importantly PYRO ABYSS LECTOR VOICELINES.

So if nothing else we can say for certain that surtalogi is very much khaenri'ahn ideology. Its just very intresting how the character is specifically THE FIRE THAT BURNS THE WORLD not the WEILDER OF IT. maybe he had a hand in the catacalysm? IDK I NEED TO ORGANIZE MY THOUGHTS

Key points to keep in mind: 1) pay attention to surtr not surtalogi 2) surtalogi is the weapon not the culprit

NOW vedrfolnir. We literally only have a name. No i dont mean in genshin in mythology itself as well. There is barely anything. All we know is that vedrfolnir is a hawk who sits between the eyes of an eagle perched on top of yggdrasil (who is also unnamed btw)

One particular thing though is that the translations of the name often have something to do with wind. Immidietly I wanna associate this with istaroth which would kinda make sense since vedrfolnir is on top of yggdrasil (irminsul) and istaroth is the god of time irminsul records all events in time past present AND future since the fruits are irminsul contain people's fates etc etc

But then would hoyo really namedrop a primordial shade in the same sentence with two abyss power abusing sinners? Seems somewhat unlikely even with the sinshades theories+ the timeline doesnt add up+ its like two diffrent lore topics entirely. It doesnt help that theres literally nothing about the eagle either so if I have some scrambles thoughts for surtalogi for vedrfolnir I literally have no idea. But I do think two keypoints (only points i mean) to keep in mind are 1) irminsul association 2) wind themed name

#not really a theory #mostly just me using this ask as an excuse to finally put some of this info down on paper #to hopefully come up with an actual theory once I stare at them for long enough #sleepless ranting #i have 20 fact checking tabs open #save for later elaboration

I may seem very picky but honestly, despite having themes or dynamics i like or dislike, I'm able to love everything AS LONG as it has fixed dynamics of my preference.

No "switching as default", no "i used to too but now i will bottom for whatever reason", no "I'm bottoming now but I'm topping next time", no rapid character change just because there's stereotypes around what bottoms or tops act like. No. Just character preferring to be the bottom and default being seen and wanted as a bottom. That's it, that's all I want to be happy and all over someone's idea.

BUT IT'S SO RARE

#i had yby in mind but honestly its so many chars #yby jzx and lxc for example as the fixed bottoms #wkx as fixed top #honestly the whole 'switching is default and the only way to have a healthy relationship' bothers me #switching is as much of a preference as top/bottom exclysivity #irl i can only be a top otherwise the idea of bottoming turns me off even repulses me from the act #that got TMI but its relevant to my point #ANYWAY oftentimes i wish dynsmic based ship names returned #like difference between yexie and xieye or wenzhou and zhouwen etc #it saves so much time #and heartbreak #like this way id immediately know theres nothing for me to read #rather than click open 20 tabs then skim through and then close them after its the usual dynamic i dont prefer #or worse get invested and then get my day ruined when the sex scene happens #yes ruined because im Like That TM #hcs

If my father hadn’t of crushed my dreams of being an author apart like he crushed my laptop full of years of work on my vampires in half over his knee, maybe…..just maybe I would have reached John Greene’s potential.

#… #this is in really bad taste and faith(kind of like his work) I will admit it (unlike him) #I would know I was on tumblr back then. i have been here since we had those mail letters instead of asks/DMs #I know I was under 13 because I felt rebellious about it and haha sneaky >:3c have to figure out my sisters login info because she doesn’t #log out and it’s suspicious if she comes back to the laptop and notices she’s suddenly logged out now when I use it !!! #because she fr did think that way and she was right about it I was a bastard younger kid so ‘sorry I closed it’ wouldn’t work on her lololol #so I serioisly (out of concern that she would change her info and I’d not notice) wrote down her tumblr act info and info we had on shared #accounts and what I knew she often used in video games and hacked some other accounts and wrote it down and her fav numbers and colors….. #then I made my tumblr account and used it and checked the history then logged back into her account and opened a separate google tab #of a website she knew I used and i did all of that I went thru all of that to use tumblr before I was 13 y’all jsyk respect 4 ur elders #yea I mostly wrote about bisexual vampire dramas leave me alone ok I was a child #I literally know my older sisters bank info. I know her card number because I technically came up with it when we were tweens. same for her #phone plan LMAO I know all of it because it’s numbers that we used together as kids which is kind of sweet and heartwarming but heartbreakin #because she has amnesia of most of our childhood and doesn’t show affection ever. she distances and is very very defensive at all times. #plus I’m her fucked up junkie loser younger bro that she knew at least was expected to outperform her so she just doesn’t like me hahah #but she still chooses inside jokes that I do remember sitting in the garage on neopets laughing about for passwords. and I often find myself #doing the same thing about inside jokes and creations we haven’t mentioned in almost 20 years now. it’s wild how siblings are. there’s rlly #idk something special

You know you have a tab issue when you have 6 of the same tab open over the course of a year 💀

Fam have you ever left a fic tab open because “you were gonna read it later” but then forget about it and get distracted by like 15 other fics?

Yea, so I knew I had it bad, but I just found multiple tabs that are just the same page, the same fic, or the same author and I had NO IDEA THEY WERE OPEN

#When the fandom is so small that you only have so much to read so you reread the same things over and over but forget that you already have a tab open for that 💀 😂

#me things #so I accidentally sorted my 499 tabs by title and uh #APPARENTLY #I JUST FORGOT I HAD THOS OPEN #OF MY 499 TABS #A GOOD 20% ARE JUST DUPLICATES #that’s uh #that’s pretty bad ehe #sometimes I like to go through a certain author’s favorites to read things #and I don’t close it bc I haven’t finished going through EVERYTHING of course #but then I lose interest for a while and forget it’s open until I inevitably circle back to it #Anyways today I found out I can’t give my mother shit for never closing her tabs #because she may be bad but I figure I have actually reached worse with this #ascendence of a bookworm fic community is so small (it’s grown but still!!) #anyways I have 99 problems and it’s called duplicate tabs #I’m gonna have to sort through this all fml

honestly, I don't know why I never thought about having ADHD.

my brain flutters so much between things to do and interests that, sometimes, even coffee isn't enough to keep me focused.

I already had a mug and in the last two hours I searched and learned about at least four different things (while scrolling tumblr) instead of doing a 15min analysis of a document sent by a client and sending my effort estimate to my account manager.

and let's not even count the constant monologue or soundtrack in my head.

going with the flow is not a good advice for me if it's a working day ^^'

#adhd #I also have like 20 tabs opened on my browser #for things I want to buy #things I want to do #references for a person that have to do a thing that will allow me to do another one #etc #nothing work related of course

[keeps-ache]

Currently Watching: not a whole lot tbh. Tho I am keeping up with Markipler’s FNaF’s Ruin playthrough. I just finished Secret Invasion and that finale wasn’t….great.

Current Obsession: Steddie, coloring & the new Holo Taco polishes, just painted these!

I think everyone I’d tag is already tagged 🤣 sooo this is open for everyone!!

#about me #I also have like 20+ other tabs open… #but I’m gonna ignore them

[concerto-roblox]

i absolutely despise the new desktop layout

#i mostly use mobile nowadays so i didn't really affect me til now #but i just tried to find the settings and i was fucking lost #the worst part is when you open the accounts section the other tabs get hidden so you have no idea where they are #and i have like 20 sideblogs so this is bad for me #in the old layout everything was ABOVE the accounts for that reason #staff you are off the shits #how to be cringe 101 #tumblr updates

[psychedelicflyingshark]

For someone who isn't dyslexic i sure am bad at reading words where they're supposed to be

#it think it might be adhd brain #trying to read ahead #although the amount of times i just fully read a word as a an anagram of itself #or swapped an image with another #i open tab in league and go 'why does this sett have 20 cs and imperial mandate what new bullshit is this' #and it was never sett it was nami the whole time #anyway just read a tag on a post as 'skin with teeth' and was. so baffled #took me a HOT minute to figure out it was 'sink with teeth'. it was a garbage disposal.

What are some of your favorite g or t rated Star Wars Fics?

Howdy! Thanks for stopping by :D

I feel very ashamed to admit that I'm horribly behind on fics (for all fandoms), so the two I'm going to share I read a long time ago.

Inevitable (rated T) (Rogue One- Jyn/Cassian and Bodhi/Luke) by absolutebearings on AO3: I will always credit this one for pushing me off the ledge and into rebelcaptain as a ship. It's a slow burn, everyone hurts but the universe isn't slowing down so they have to move forward and they do it together.

The World Through a Scope (rated T) (Rogue One- Jyn/Cassian with Bodhi/Luke and Baze/Chirrut sprinkled in there) by guineapiggie on AO3: A modern AU with Cassian and Jyn crossing paths as they go to therapy. Their lives become intertwined and they start down a dangerous path to find Jyn's father. I love all of the inner dialogue and seeing how the pair hesitantly (but intensely???) navigates through this new relationship building up.

[bl0wtorch]

so wait how many tabs do you have open if you dont bookmark anything

currently? zero ao3 tabs. haven't read much on there in a hot minute. i probably have never had more than 15 at once.

as for other tabs, there are 17 on my phone and 20 on my computer.

#i don't like having too many tabs #even 20 is a lot for me sometimes #it used to really bother me to leave anything open at all #asks

[faerygardens]

Btw the new dashboard setup for browser is borderline unusable on the mobile browser version of tumblr

#for those of you asking #I’m using the browser version of tumblr on mobile atm bc I’m trying to limit my phone usage #So I guess this is good for me in a way #But also to add tags to a reblog you have to long press the reblog button and open it in another tab #Yesterday I had about 5 tabs open for like a 20 minute scrolling session #Bright side is you can edit tags I guess #And at least I don’t see those fucking mobile game ads #Probably bc my vpn blocks them on browser #fae.txt

[wewontbesleeping]

btw the hardest part of my classes is trying to do it on a laptop from 2012 lol

#I can use like. 2 tabs at a time #and I can’t use my computer for any actual research #bc it’s soooo slow #like opening a new tab accidentallt sometimes sets me back 5 minutes bc it can just. FREEZE #and getting started takes like 15 minutes bc first chrome has to #go through like 10 cycles of ‘this tab won’t respond: exit page or wait?’ #and you just have to hit ‘wait’ ten times #and then you get the spinning wheel of death #I opened a new tab just to see how long it takes #thought it was 55 seconds #but then it froze for 20 more seconds #when I hit a key #sooooo about a minute and a half when you open a new tab #I need a new computer soooo badly #but I can’t fucking afford it #I was going to put it on a credit card and be fine #but I straight up can’t spare anything for credit card payments rn #cuz it would be about $80 a month #and I can’t swing it wtf #how can I not swing $80 #like I’m losing it I’m making more than I ever have #but everything is so much more expensive #I have $0 in savings #I’ve ran through all of it the past few months #I’m starting to get really worried #I don’t know what to do !!!!! #thank GOD I have my phone #I can do a lot on my phone it’s mostly papers and exams I need my computer for #but like what the fuck what the fuck #and I’m supposed to move soon. GOOD LUCK

"do you need those six tabs of AO3 opened"

Yes because I'm reading 5 different fics at once whilst checking my inbox and updating my drafts. What about it?

#ko posting #fanfic #i legally cant have more tgan 20 tabs open tho #it hurts me physically

[rafeandonlyrafe]

good boy

words: 1.5k

warnings: established relationship, marriage, protective!rafe, (guard??) dog, fluffy

“rafe, it's literally two weeks. ill be fine!” you say, folding his clothes, having dumped out his suitcase onto the bed to reorganize it when you saw how he packed it, just chucking things in.

“two weeks where im a hours away from you by plane.” rafe sighs, watching you carefully repack his suitcase as he pouts on the bed, not wanting to leave you.

“you know, cameron, i lived a whole 20 years before meeting you.” you point out, knowing while rafes concern comes from his love for you, it will completely overwhelm what is supposed to be an enjoyable family vacation and leave him miserable the whole time.

“i don't see why you can't just come with me.” rafe groans, flopping back against the bed. you smile and round the bed to where his head is resting against the pillows. you press a smooch to his forehead, rubbing your hand over his head, petting at his soft hair.

“baby, it's just for your family. you know that.” it's not like you don't want to accompany rafe to a tropical paradise, but you would feel way too awkward intruding.

“what if something happens to you? and im not here to protect you? id be the worst fiancee ever.” rafe grabs your head from rubbing his head, holding up the ring on your finger for him to admire.

“nothing will happen. nothing ever happens here.” you laugh. you're not sure what crime is like on the other side of the island, but your neighborhood is incredibly safe.

“im still worried.” rafe sighs. “you in that big house all alone.”

“im gonna spend 99% of the time wedding planning.” you hum, thinking about the tabs pulled open on your laptop of different venues, dresses, and color palettes.

that finally gets rafe to crack a smile. “can't wait to marry you.” rafe says earnestly. he only proposed a month ago, some people would say that you were too young to get married, but rafe knew when you came into his life and turned everything around for him that he had to put a ring on your finger.

“i can't wait either.” you bend down to press a kiss to rafes lips. “but seriously we need to talk about your packing before we tie the knot, why do you only have one pair of shorts packed for an island?”

-- two years later --

“remember those two weeks you left before we were engaged? it's not really much longer. you should go, baby. it's a good opportunity.” you are sat on rafes lap, back pressed against his chest as he scrolls through his email.

“it's just work, and it's a whole lot longer than two weeks. i don't want to leave you here alone for over a month.” rafe closes out of the email, making you sigh.

“i was fine for those two weeks, ill be fine now. promise. i think you should go! it's a big conference.” you turn sideways on his lap so you can look rafe in the eye. “besides, it's still six months away. plenty of time to prepare.”

“prepare?” rafe raises his eyebrows. “so you'd be good with security cams around the whole house and personal security?”

“cameras on the outside and hell no. you don't want some random guys watching after me do you?”

you can see the gears turning in rafes head as he frowns. “yeah, you're right. no men.”

“so you'll go?” you smile. rafe closes his eyes for a brief moment before nodding.

“yay!” you squeal. you're not excited to be left alone, and you love being around your husband more than anything, but the work trip is a big deal, and you know he'll be kicking himself if he misses out on such a good opportunity.

--

“rafey?” you call, eyes sweeping across the living room as you enter your shared home, a head full of fresh highlights.

“hubby?” you call out, continuing deeper into the house until you see movement through the glass door leading towards the backyard, but it's not the typical roll of the ocean against the shore.

“rafe?” you question as you open the door. you expected to find him in his office, where he was before you left for the beauty salon.

rafe smiles, waiting for your eyes to look down, and when you finally see what is sitting at rafes feet, you let out a gasp.

“oh my gosh!” you squeal. 

“wifey, meet max. our new australian shepherd.” rafe gives a command with his hand, that has max running towards you.

you sink to your knees as the young dog excitedly greets you, licking at your hands as you pet him.

“hi maxey.” you coo at the dog, you're guessing around two years old, with max being full size but still having some young features.

“rafe, you didn't tell me you were getting us a dog!” you stand up, max following close behind as you rush to give your husband a hug.

“i have a confession.” rafe says, his hands looped around your waist. you frown, worried that max was just a foster and you'd have to give him back, or that something went wrong with the adoption. you often talked about getting pets before getting married, but wanted to wait a little bit, and then time just slipped away and before you knew it, you were over a year into your marriage. 

“what?” you whine out.

“ive been working with a trainer behind your back. i wanted to make sure max was ready before we chose him for sure. he knows commands, me, your scent, our house. everything. he knows his primary responsibility is to protect you and our property.”

“oh my gosh!” you slap rafe in the chest, surprised that he was able to keep such a secret from you. “how could you do all that without telling me?” you laugh, not angry, but surprised that he was able to orchestrate everything.

you don't wait for rafe to explain how he was able to find so much time, stepping out of his hold to kneel down and continue petting max.

“we have some more training sessions so he can learn with you as well.” rafe further explains, also leaning down to pet max behind the ears as he pants excitedly at his new owners.

--

“what is it maxy?” you ask as he lifts his head up, looking around the living room. “you miss your daddy?”

you sigh as max lets out a sad sounding huff, petting your hand over his head, scratching at his neck which you know is his favorite. rafe has been gone on his business trip for a month now, with only a week and a half left until he returns home.

max suddenly jumps off the couch, eyes on the backyard. he lets out a bark, claws clicking on the hardwood floor as he moves to the glass door. he lets out another bark, making you stand.

“what is it boy?” you ask, looking out the window.

max lets out another bark, this one the familiar territorial bark that he’s practiced in his training with you and rafe. you know the only reason that rafe feels safe enough leaving you home is that max is a great guard dog.

you get closer to the window, squinting your eyes to try and see in the darkness when you sudden jump back with a scream as a squirrel runs across your patio, causing max to bark and run along the glass door until it scatters into the yard.

“holy shit, maxy, you scared the shit out of me.” you press your hand to your chest before kneeling down, scratching behind his ears. “it was just a squirrel.” you reassure him with a pat.

your heart rate is just starting to calm down from the fright when you hear the front door open. max instantly takes off with you following after him, letting out a sigh of relief when you see rafe standing in the foyer.

“baby.” he sighs happily, setting his suitcase down as you run into his arms, pressing your lips together. “i missed you so much.”

“i missed you too, what are you doing home though?” you ask, giving him another kiss before he can answer.

“they didn’t need me for the rest of the week, decided to get home to my lady.” max barks, making rafe lean down to pet him, still holding you up. “and my good boy too, of course.”

“so happy to have you home.” you nuzzle your nose into rafes neck, inhaling the familiar scent that you missed so much. 

“happy to be back with you, wifey.” rafe says, carrying you further into the house.

“oh, and you will be very happy to know maxy did a great job protecting me while you were gone.” you tell rafe. it mostly involved max barking in warning at any delivery guy or car turning around in your driveway, but his presence did help making you feel safer and less loney.

“hopefully not too good.” rafe huffs as he looks at your pet. “can’t have him replacing me now.”

you giggle, surprised rafe can manage to be jealous of your dog. “never.” you swear, pressing another kiss to his lips.
