🌀Hypnosis 101🌀

Today, many misunderstand the art of hypnosis. Others are quick to disbelieve without research.

R‌‌‌‌‌adqueers who want to t‌‌‌‌ransition and more:

This can help.

🌀How does it work?🌀

Hypnosis invites suggestions into a listener's subconcious. Listeners will themselves nto a trance-like state, which is key for a hypnotist to be accurately listened to.

A trance is any dissociation from one's body. Most experience this without knowing! You may be in a trance when invested in a book, a daydream, a song, etc. You may even feel it while using a smartphone. All it takes is to feel disconnected from your surroundings and body.

Inductions are methods to cause a hypnotic trance. They temporarily rework a listener's mind to pay more attention to the hypnotist than their surroundings. Your consciousness is subdued, which make the listener's *sub*consciousness open to hypnotic suggestions.

Methods vary. Some methods are suitable for you and unsuitable for others. An overstimulated listener may easily imagine themself in a sensory deprivation tank, while an understimulated listener may prefer being guided down imaginary stairs. There are even methods that do not require imagining at all.

🌀Hypnosis & Subliminals🌀

Both utilize the subconcious. They work to a varying extent, depending on how one goes about it.

The difference is, subliminals require passive listening (subconcious only) while hypnosis requires partially active listening (subconcious and conscious).

🌀How to be hypnotized🌀

Do beginner induction hypnoses. Newcomers oft struggle to focus because they've jumped into a fun hypnosis, without knowing the mindfulness required.

Stay patient. Do not skip to a part - falling into trance requires active participation. Remind yourself that "hypnosis will happen eventually."

Quiet your inner critic. If you find your thoughts wandering and your body restless, try not to criticize yourself - gently guide them back. This gets better with practice.

Don't fall asleep midway! Some inductions include the classic "you are getting sleepy". This is meant to be metaphorical. Falling asleep cuts the effectivity.

Trust your hypnotist. Throw out any "hypnosis is scary" biases and understand that you're safe.

🌀How to hypnotize🌀

Research which methods of hypnosis you'd want. Which inductions? Recording or live? Verbal or non-verbal? Your voice or text-to-speech?

Compare and contrast official hypnosis scripts. What methods do they use? What words do they emphasize? Can you replicate the written/verbal tone? Create your own script based on the format of those comparisons.

If you plan a verbal hypnosis, keep a bottle of water close for any sign of dry throat.

Rehearse beforehand. The smallest mistake could disrupt trance. Time how long each attempt takes—see if your script can be cut down or extended to your liking.

If you know your subject beforehand, use your knowledge. Plan out how their mind works and how you could navigate it with your words. This may take multiple tries, but personal approaches are thricefold effective.

Trust in your hypnosis. You cannot stew in skepticism while performing the act you're skeptical of. Throw out any "hypnosis is hard" doubts and understand that you can fake it 'til you make it.

That is all.

Or at least, all that is basic info. Take care, take it slow, and most of all:

Happy hypnotizing.

@bylerween2023 DAY 2: SLASHERS, GORE & BODY HORROR

I'm an Evil Dead trilogy lover always, so a sort of... mash up. the intent is less 'this ST character as that specific Evil Dead character' overall and far more just 'put these guys in that situation': college students on a spring break trip to an old abandoned cabin in the woods gone so very wrong due to demons and deadites. a chainsaw is involved.

[I also wanna shout out this post from Robin @pinkeoni tht has stayed in my brain ever since i first saw it & is the reason Will's in the Ash 'they got control of his hand' situation here 👍]

And as anyone familiar with Evil Dead 2 may know, Ash cuts off his own hand when this happens in the movie, but… I just love the idea of the angst that would come from Will begging Mike to do it… being desperately asked to mutilate the person you’ve always tried to protect… needing the person you love to hurt you in such a drastic way just so you have a chance to carry on…

Ive seen some people get mixed up (also sorry if this comes off pompous I swear I'm not I just really fuckin enjoy these movies ghggb) so I'd like to clarify that the Big Bad Wolf is an already established character in the Shrek world.

And he's just some guy. He also might transform into a human woman with a strong accent when there's a full moon according to a halloween special but ya know.

The wolf that chases Puss in Last Wish tho is, Death, straight up, as he said.

Some promotional media did advertise him as the double b wolf but that was just to not spoil the surprise. (Apparently some promos would also just call him The Wolf so yeup.)

However, it's also not unreasonable to mix up the 2 since in Shrek's ogreverse (ogre universe I NEED to coin the phrase c'mon now) there's been a few number of soft rebooted characters from a lot of Shrek media.

But to go off strictly from the movies, the 2 most obvious examples are Rumpelstiltskin and the 3 bears.

The left depictions are really just one-off jokes/background characters that rarely appeared in more than 5 scenes from previous movies (Shrek 3 and 1 respectively), while the right depictions are the later focused antagonists that got plenty of screen time (Shrek 4ever after and Puss in Boots 2 the Last Wish respectively).

The difference tho is that the original depictions are really Just one-off jokes. Nothing more than just something in the background. The Big Bad Wolf however is an already established part of Shrek's friend group alongside the 3 little pigs, Pinocchio and Gingy.

Basically, not someone they could just easily make a soft reboot about like with the aforementioned 2 examples.

It is incredibly likely tho that DreamWorks did base Death a bit off of the real life folklore of the Big Bad Wolf. Considering how much they love old tales, and how much old stories had him as the main antagonist. (Plus c'mon. Wolf from Bad Guys literally says he's the big bad in every story, they're definitely self aware at this point.)

Having the penultimate depiction of the end of life itself in their fairytale inspired long-running world be loosely based on the most popular antagonist from old folklore stories is most likely on purpose, and I gotta say, based.

It's also likely that Death can take whatever form he chooses. But I'm cool with gnarly wolf form. 👍

#this was supposed to be small NOW IT FEELS LIKE AN ESSAY WHAT IS UP WITH MY BRAIN #I JUST REALLY LIKE THINGS OKAY #anyways #Shrek #Puss in Boots #puss in boots the last wish #puss in boots the last wish spoilers #puss in boots 2 spoilers #puss in boots 2 the last wish spoilers #PiB TLW spoilers #THATS ENOUGH TAGS GHRAA #oh wait thats right #ogre-verse #IM KEEPIN THAT PHRASE YA GOTTA KILL ME BEFORE I LET IT GO #oh yea I was thinkin of including the pied piper since hes an antagonist in shrek 4 but thats a bit of a complication #cause in shrek 4 85% of the movie takes place in a different timeline where shrek didnt exist #but in Shrek 1 and the very end of Shrek 4 (real timeline) the pied piper seems to be nonviolent against other fairytale creatures #so. yea. 👍#its also best not to look too deep into somethings unless it like actually bothers ya! I know some people see the 3 bears and just say okay #and not question what happened in Shrek 1. so. yea. 👍 go watch last wish its fuckin good

Love Loses 😔💔 (aka second-worst festival you could possibly drag Moe into)

+ some rough sketches of the outfit!!!

I'm not too committed to fleshing it out, but I imagine it would most likely have a green color scheme, forget-me-nots and possibly pansies incorporated into its design (would probably have to figure out how all that would work together LMFAO but again. Not super committed to the thought!)

#fire emblem #feh #the pansies are a cool idea actually beyond the queer connection i have this bigass flower meaning book #and there's potential there!#i was just doodling though. plus i have other dod wips i consider to be more 'canon' in my heart #IT'S JUST. IT'S JUST. THE GOOFIEST THING EVER SOMETIMES.#like yeah i made this guy specifically to hang out w my blorbos. yeah it's going to fuck off completely now.#it's already fucking gone. good fucking luck finding it again.#moe is just. you're better off without me. the idea of leaving sharena behind fucks me up so bad i'm gonna throw up.#this doesn't say anything about me at all. i'm easily replaceable. and i'm okay with that.#yes i'm wearing the forget-me-nots. no that doesn't mean anything. and neither do the pansies.#don't worry about it 😊👍#also i think the dysphoria acting up is actually less about the outfit (esp since alfonse is wearing something similar)#and more about the social 'role' it feels its being forced into. even if its the only one feeling this way #dysphoria will do crazy shit to you and fucl your entire life LMFAOO #i do think its suffering w those thighs out though. poor thang 😔#fe alfonse #moe tag #summoner oc #my art

I keep thinking about Haitani's lines here. She has a feeling that Kuroda is going to ask her out later, but she's not exactly giddy at the prospect of dating him. The way she words it makes it sound more like she's going with the flow because he's nice and they've been friends for a long time, rather than this being something she actively wants for herself.

There's something to the fact that she's scared she'll end up drifting away from Asahi, too. If a girl gets a boyfriend and starts putting him above all else, that's a conscious choice on her part, not an immutable matter of course-- but it's common enough that Haitani is afraid it'll happen to her. The implication that she values her relationship with Asahi more than a potential romance with Kuroda... hm... (i could be seeing things, but it reads a bit like she's got a crush on asahi that she might not have picked up on yet.)

It's all just... idk; this lens makes Haitani's death that much more tragic to me. She's so worried about losing what she has with Asahi, and then shortly after Asahi reassures her that it'll be alright, Haitani gets killed in a freak accident that rips them away from each other for good. And sure, Asahi can summon ghosts, but that's really only useful for seeking closure. She and Haitani will never get to stay the way they were before, and they'll never get to grow any closer, no matter how much they wish they could.

#RIP haitani you deserved so much better ;;#magia record #miura asahi #haitani #asahaita #rarepair so rare i'm creating new tags #to try to lessen the pain there's something almost darkly funny about the timing here #haitani: idk if i want to date this guy... i mean he's okay but...#a passing witch: don't worry i gotchu 👍 one engine fire explosion coming right up #evil guardian angel who gets you out of potentially awkward situations by killing you #on the bright(?) side she and asahi can have matching grisly scars now

um hello!! im very new to comics, but of the characters I’ve seen so far, I really like Barbara and I was just wondering if you had any comic recommendations on where to start..? its very confusing trying to get into it all, but I’d like to be able to hold a conversation about someone I find interesting with my boyfriend so I can hear him info dump on me more cus he’s deep into dc so :)

Hi!!! That is so sweet omg 😭 Welcome to the weird wonderful world of comics!!! and also i’m so sorry for what I’m abt to throw at you lmao

Since you’ve sent this ask into an Oracle-centric blog, I’m gonna keep this rec list Oracle!Babs-centric (& also encourage my fellow mods to add on if they also have some recs!) I actually don’t have a whole lot of recs for Batgirl!Babs anyways, but I’ll be tagging my gen dc blog at the end in case you’d like to talk abt those or any other characters!

Also before I get Into the recs, I wanna give you some words of encouragement: there’s no right or wrong way to read! You’re also likely gonna have some well a lot of confusion at the beginning, esp bc there will be Events™️ that have ramifications™️ and you’re not always given full context of what’s come before or what’s happening concurrently with what you’re reading. I’ve been doing this for awhile and if I’ve learned anything, it’s that the more that you read & explore, the more fun you’ll have & the more things will usually start to make sense! But it’s all gotta start somewhere first! :D and you’ve def chosen a great character to be your launching point!

Im gonna be hopping around a bit in my recs here but I’ll try to keep it mostly in chronological order. That said, first up:

Suicide Squad (1987) - she appeared semi-regularly starting in #23! This was also her debut as Oracle! I really enjoyed the overall run & would normally highly recommend it, but also want to warn that it’s a pretty heavy read in terms of content itself (canon-typical violence ofc esp for a SuiSq comic, discussions of suicide ideation, period typical stereotyping/‘subversion’ of said stereotypes, but that’s a deeper discussion for a different blog) For that reason, I don’t necessarily recommend it for a first-time reader, esp if you’re wanting to solely focus on Babs. Team books usually aren’t super great when you’re reading for an individual character, in my experience, esp in a case like this where the character isn’t always necessarily part of the team or appears sporadically enough to disrupt the flow of following a storyline.

Birds of Prey (1999) - This team book breaks that prev rule tho, bc Babs is the leader & is in Damn near every issue of this run 😂 There’s several smaller team-ups before the main ‘99 run (BoP:Manhunt, BoP:Wolves, etc), which are also good as a prelude before the main run itself. This will be the longest thing that will give you a LOT to parse through & ymmv with a lot of it. (Dixon & Simone are the most prominent writers for it & without getting Into It they each have their Issues™️ & Crimes™️) It also crosses over with a few events/references others. Imo it’s a good window into what comics are like overall, esp when you get into a longer run with multiple writers at the helm. But it has an added bonus of keeping a pretty small cast at its forefront (for about half the run, it’s solely Babs n Dinah!) It also has a follow-up run in 2010 which is broken up by-

Oracle: The Cure - (technically a 3-issue mini-series but!!!) this one’s a culmination of Oracle & Calculator’s (it’s not rivalry? That can’t be the right word… Uhhh, nemesis-sitch?) from BoP & leads right into bringing Babs back to Gotham in Steph’s Batgirl run as well as the next BoP run I mentioned just a sec ago. It’s what I like to call connective (t)issues lol. Ymmv I think depending on if you’ve read BoP ‘99/TT ‘03 beforehand, but I hadn’t read a lot of TT before reading it at the time, and I enjoyed it a lot!

A couple individual issues I wanna suggest:

Batman Chronicles #5 - Oracle: Year One!!!!! Cannot rec this one enough!!! In lieu of reading Killing Joke (which really only serves Bruce, Joker, Jim Gordon’s characters) read this!!! LICHERALLY her origin in coming into her own as Oracle!!! This one is THE place to start, actually, before you read anything start here 😂

Batman: Gotham Knights #6 - okay, this one is admittedly a self-indulgent rec. Without spoiling the plot, it’s CLASSIC soap-opera level shit. The TENSION at play & the layers of Bruce & Babs dynamic, the messiness of the batfam!!! 👌 *chefs kiss* GK as a run in general too was a LOT of fun for me & Babs is a pretty prominent player in much of it, but this issue rlly takes the cake for me ngl

And to tie it all together for an extra couple of Important Event recs that you’ll run into esp if you pick up BoP first:

Batman: No Man’s Land - okay, this event was a Behemoth. It’s a LOT to read, but it is REALLY good imo as a launching point for where Bat-comics were at the start of the millennium. Babs takes the narrative role SO many times throughout & she rlly comes into her own by becoming a linchpin for the info system she builds for the batfam. Again, I don’t wanna discourage you when I say it’s a Long read, bc it’s well worth it imo, but also 100% okay to skip when you’re just starting out! It’s a big time sink!

Batman: Officer Down - okay put away the meme forJUST A SEC, our old friend Jim Gordon’s been shot & it’s up to Batma- oh wait bruce sulks by Jim’s bedside while Babs rallies the troops and GETS SHIT DONE to find who shot her dad? INTERESTING 🧐 In all seriousness tho, & compared to NML, this is a much easier bite-sized event that can give you a taste of what Event/crossoverComics™️ are generally like 👍

Bruce Wayne: Murderer?/Fugitive - okay so, take that same energy of the batfam having to Put In The Work to help Bruce out & flip it around bc now Bruce is the Main Suspect. The drama, the Intrigue™️. Pretty much everyone in the fam gets a moment to shine & this is def peak of how Babs fits into the fam during this era. This one runs a bit on the longer side & babs is again, more of a support role here, but god damn I loved it a lot!

I feel like I’m obligated to at least Mention Batman: War Games, mostly to note that it finally shakes the foundation of Oracle being the batfam’s main support (her CLOCKTOWER gets nerfed in this event 😭) If you read all of BoP and skip over this event & then are confused abt why Babs is suddenly being ejected from Gotham, just remember that her clocktower gets blown up, Steph dies, Bruce n Babs have a falling out & that’s basically why Babs starts flying around the country & settles in Metropolis for a bit instead of going back to Gotham. I reread this event at least once a year bc it gave me brainworms, I can not in good conscience recommend it to anyone bc no one understands her (War Games) like i do 💕 Godspeed if you decide to read it o7

Other recs/mentions:

Batgirl (2000) - okay if you end up reading NML, you’ll be introduced to Cass in it, & this run picks up with her. Babs is in it a LOT at the beginning as supporting cast to Cass (up to War Games ofc, but I won��t say much more abt that lol) I’m ngl, when I was trying to get more into comics, this run was what HOOKED me

Batgirl (2009) - so in a similar vein, Babs also features as a support for Steph too in her batgirl run. It’s… different from Cass’ run, but I also rlly love this one too. And also am forever bitter that the Batgirls run didn’t realize their potential BUT WE’RE NOT GETTING INTO THAT HERE.

Gonna mention Batman: Gotham Knights one more time bc again, while Babs isn’t a main focus, I think it’s rlly good at tying the batfam together during that era & giving a reader glimpses into other characters/dynamics. I think I got more out of it after I had read a few other runs from this time period (namely Robin, Azrael & some prominent stuff with Huntress), but can also see it as a potential launching point for new readers too 👍 if you wanna get more into the batfam/Batman but are intimidated by the Big Runs, this can potentially be a good bridge!

Gonna rapid fire mention that Babs as Oracle has a lot of appearances in Robin (93), Nightwing (96), JLA (96), Azrael (95) and obvsly Batman/Detective Comics from the 90s into 00s. I’ve read a few of these runs, and ymmv depending on how attached you may get to certain characters. But that’s what comics is all about! Getting attached and exploring other characters n teams n stuff!

A Gen note that I wanna end on: I wasn’t exaggerating when I said earlier abt how the more you read the more you’ll have fun. I can’t even begin to count the number of times that I’ve read something from a 90s/00s comic & was essentially jumpscared by a sudden Oracle cameo that I wasn’t expecting! She pops up in so many things throughout the universe at the time!!! She was THE info broker for all the supers!!! It makes me so insane that DC threw that all away to magi-cure her and demote her back to batgirl when she had grown so much 😭

anyways I hope you have fun!!! And again if you’re ever looking for other recs my more Gen dc blog is @dyketectivecomics! If my fellow mods or anyone else have some recs to add or to dispute haha, I’ll be tagging this so others can see/rb/reply to add their recs too 👍

Okay! \o/ that’s all I got for now! Happy reading anon!!!!

#barbara gordon #oracle #oracle day #birds of prey #reading rec #~randy #added a cut bc length 👍 and to add a warning that this isn’t just a list #I wanted to include some commentary bc having a reading list is good sometimes #but also having a Guide™️ is what I’m ultimately aiming for when I’m curating my lists now in 2024 #esp bc I’m gonna be revamping the duke list soon but THATS a convo for the duke blog 😂#okay enough tag rambles. I hope this helps anon! sorry it took a Hot Sec!#you sent this right as the holidays were swinging at me full force 😭

Ok, for an AU I'm cooking up, what if my OC Periwinkle (who is actually a fragment of Void Termina's power with the full extent of their memories and abilities, though they are nice, until you physically smack/smack talk/hurt the feelings her friends out of malice (she's able to sense emotions), then she will not hesitate to bonk you with a live explosive (expert with the Bomb copy ability) and "give you a proper lesson on not hurting my friends".) met your Galacta Knight? How would the situation play out? (Maybe Galacta comes to her universe then destroys her friend's cooking utensils, and she decides to spare the vandal no chill at all.)

hmmm i'm not suuuper comfortable answering questions like this, sorry! especially with folks who i don't know well... i don't really know your oc and i'm also not comfortable just being like "well he k-words (the oc)" to strangers who might not find that fun, yanno?

i think you'd have to characterise him in a way that suited you and your story/oc/au/needs, and then decide from there! like... what you described with the cooking utensils... no, my version of him wouldn't do anything like that haha. so you'd need to make your own charactisation where something like that worked!

i'd enjoy being That Person With The Evil Galacta Knight Characterisation and i'm happy to answer general questions about my personal hcs of him for sure, but i certainly don't have any sort of monopoly on making him nasty. i feel like there's actually a significant amount of evidence in canon itself for him to be Not Nice! so you can of course characterise your own version of him however you like too!!

the galacta knight that i personally headcanon (who is mostly present in awtdy au) is simultaneously chill and unchill. if someone minds their business and doesn't get in his way or interrupt his plans- which revolve around kirby and meta knight in awtdy au- he doesn't really care about them. this is kind of evident in the way he overlooks bandee's potential entirely.

however if they are a threat to him or his plans, he deals with them. he also sometimes takes a sadistic interest in figures he can project the things he hates onto. in our headcanons in particular he has a specific hatred of dark matter and mages, if that works for you and gives you anything to chew on! fwiw in the star allies arc of awtdy void termina is never released, because galacta knight lays eyes on hyness for 0.2 seconds before fileting him like a fish.

he's just not really a hesitater. and that takes most folks- who want to talk, who want to monologue, who maybe have the hope this can be sorted out- by enough surprise that he generally gets in there first.

#i answered that other ask bc i thought it was broadly comedic in tone and figured it was proooobably okay to declare that he killed --#another iteration of *himself* in cold blood. i'm not going to make that claim with folk's ocs or sonas. that's the part i'm uneasy with.#that said i do always enjoy hearing about ocs and aus and stuff in general! periwinkle sounds a lot of fun!!#please be aware that most asks that ask me “what would your evil galacta knight do with X problem or person” it is most likely #1) he doesn't care or 2) he kills them. there's little in between. sorry if that's not fun!!#also i say “mostly" in awtdy au because he might.... he might appear in starstruck's story as well #as a t(h)reat.#if you noticed those last 2 tags congrats but also sorry!!! 😃👍#asks #galacta knight #also bc i'm overthinking this now i hope this doesn't come off as rude!! i'm just a little uncomfy speculating with other folks ocs!#even with permission. if i don't know you and your oc well it's just hard for me!! interactions or qs about starstruck in this scenario--#would be easier bc she's not... idk. she's not going to behave in an unforgivable way you know!!! she'd apologise to the kitchen utensils!!

how and why is there discourse about whether or not certain queer identities exist/if people should be allowed(???) to use them. why is "people know their own identity better than you ever could, and they're the only one who get a say on what they are" such a tough concept to grasp

i think if you find yourself offended by the label someone uses (especially if they're a stranger) or think it invalidates your own, it's a good idea to look inside yourself and question why that may be. more often than not, it's a result of insecurity or uncertainty of your own identity (or many other things, but i won't make a whole list here). whatever reason it is, until you resolve it, you shouldn't take it out on people for having an identity you don't understand

many have said it before but it's worth saying over and over. infighting only helps our oppressors. conservatives don't care if you're a cis gay or a xenogender aegosexual aplatonic lesbian, they hate all of us either way. trying to fit in by going for people who are easier targets for them isn't gonna help you, it'll just alienate you from your own community, and you're never gonna please them. the momentary rush you get from hearing you're not like "one of /those/ gay people" is not worth it and is gonna do more harm in the long run, i assure you

also, it is important to me to say this, but having some less than nice kneejerk reaction caused by confusion about an identity you don't understand doesn't mean you're a bad person or anything. as long as you aren't mean to that person, and you take a second to think smth along the lines of "wait a minute, this isn't any of my business" after having said reaction, you're good 👍 a lot of reflexive reactions we have to things are ingrained into us simply by. well. living in a society 🤡 and you're not terrible for having those thoughts. it's your actions that matter, and your second thought (the "wait, why did i just think that?") is more defining of your actual character and morals than your reflex. i know that having thoughts like this, even tho they're unwanted, can very easily make one spiral, so it's important to me that whoever needs to hear this knows this doesn't make you a bad person 🙏 you're good, keep taking actions to be good, accept other people even if you don't understand them, and you're on the right track :)

#i considered adding that last part in the tags but i figured it'll be too long for that 😭#i noticed i'm posting a lot of rants lately. sorry. but i do wanna make sure no one's actually feeling bad over them #if i complain about something that you do or call it mean and such. that doesn't make you a bad person #you can always work to change and grow 👍 it's not easy but it starts with smaller steps than you'd expect #and now i just switched to a whole other topic from my original point. oops #i do firmly believe that any discourse about someone's identity is dumb as fuck #seeing it in poll blogs always makes me 😐😬 like how is it any business for any of us. why is this up for debate #if a person says they're queer then they are. they don't need to pass some test or go through initiation to be accepted #if they feel comfortable with a certain word that's awesome. why does it matter to *you* which word they use #'they're only using this microlabel to feel special' so? is there anything wrong with that?#'this label contradicts [insert other identity that falls under the same umbrella]' ok. but does that hurt anyone in any way #a lot of identities can even be self contradictory. does it matter tho? does it affect anyone in any way?#'they might realize that label is wrong later' again. what's the harm in that.#i don't blame anyone for these thoughts bc like. this is how cishets view a lot of the even more common labels #so you're basically taught to think this way from day one. that doesn't mean you need to stick to that thought process #you might have these reflexes forever no matter how hard you try. but you'll get quicker about moving on from them #but you do have to try. you do have to realize that other people's identities aren't about you #anyway. this post feels like batting at a hornets nest. really hope i don't get some bad faith readers here lol #(i noticed a lot of places one could apply bad faith but like it's 3:30 am i'm too tired to add this many disclaimer.#so i'm gonna trust you to not jump to conclusions and to approach this in good faith okay? mwah 🖤)#also my whole ramble abt morality (in the tags too) is relevant to. any topic really #i may just make a separate post about it really. .....tomorrow tho.

the appeal of Tesilid/Hestio is that hestio would be extremely upset about it. Him, crushing on this mf who's always so stiff and is a doormat who can't look out for himself and whom he's been ribbing for years and who is also very very handsome?!?? blasphemy!!!! Multiple years of denial and you would need to pry a confession out of him. Affection disguised by sharp comments and yells.

((now imagine if he hasn't done shit about his feelings until Tesilid's regression starts. Some timelines he confesses. Some timelines they get together. Some timelines he never does a thing; but now that Tesilid has lived rounds where he does, he can see through his bravado. Does Tesilid reach out first?

Dozens of get-together plots playing out, but there is never a happy ending; not in the long run. Tesilid wakes up to a new Hestio that's not the one he left.

Some timelines Hestio is greeted by an unusually familiar Tesilid. Some timelines Tesilid inexplicably avoids him, and when Hestio tracks him down he looks at him like he's one wrong move away from crumbling apart. Like Hestio's presence itself hurts him. Whatever the fuck did he even do?))

#a transmigrator's privilege #the perks of being an s class heroine #oh hell i need to come up with a ship name for them 😭#i can imagine someone new entering the tags and seeing a tes/hestio post and being like HUH???? IS THIS THAT KIND OF STORY?#NO YOU DIDNT READ THE SIGNS WRONG I JUST HAVE EXTREME BRAINROT #it just makes a lot of sense to me for everyone ever to be in love with tesilid. okay.#on the other hand ephael's crisis would be more along the lines of oh hell there goes my dream of escaping to the secular world...#mf church isnt going to let tesilid go. he's stuck here w tesilid now.#anyway another appeal of tesilid/hestio is that hestio is tsundere adjacent #like hes not afraid of letting ppl know he cares per se hes just very brusque about it #its always fun to put tsundere adjacent chars into romances and watch them melt into a formless mess ☺️👍#teshes
