i think that discussion about if social media are toxic isn't about tumblr because on snapchat or tiktok or Instagramie all you care about is "if no one likes my face then i'm a loser" but tumblr is a different thing because you can't even see how many followers people here have and all we do here is post photos of nature, animals and poetry. tumblr is the healthy social media. all we care here is pretty nature and wise poetry

firstly, I absolutely adore your blog!! <3 ur so cool
secondly im curious to know- what marvel superhero would you assign to each of the marauders? I personally think sirius would love ironman, heβs so tony stark coded
AH, you're combining some of my favourite fandoms, babe! Which is why I might end up writing a way deeper analysis than I need to lol. But let's go through it one by one.
My darling James, the golden boy of his era, he is 100% Captain America. He is hell-bent on protecting those he loves, and he would do anything for them. Also, he's been in love with one girl for all of his life. It's just so fitting for him, I feel?
But also, I feel like James could also be a great Spiderman (and that is probably his favourite superhero), especially younger James, with his charm and charisma and how he is loved and cherished by his people. Also, he is totally in love with a redhead.
Remus Lupin is a complicated one. You know, I feel like Hulk is quite fitting, since you know he gets angry and turns into a green monster, which kind of relates to Rem in a deeper level. Having said that, I think his superhero would be Moon Knight and I'm ready to diΠ΅ on this grave.
Hear me out, it's about the deep-held emotional trauma and the way Steven and Jake came into existence to protect Mark, he would absolutely love, love Moon Knight, especially the Disney+ version of him. There's also the lack of control the multiple personalities entail (which is very much like Remus' turning into Moony) and the moon theme. Besides, Rem would totally have a mini crush on Oscar Isaac.
And for Sirius, I agree, he is definitely Iron Man coded and would love Tony, I mean it's in the daddy issues they share with each other, the family background, the rich kid persona and all that. But I also think Sirius would love, and I mean LOVE Peter Quill (StarLord).
StarLord also has family issues, but he grew to become an absolutely charming character, sharing his love for beings with Sirius (aka they're both a little bit of heartbreakers) and he is super funny, which I feel Sirius would love. They both love music, and Sirius would praise Starlord's taste every single day of the week. Something else Siri would love about StarLord is his found family. He met the Guardians of the Galaxy and they all adopted each other, in the same way, Sirius adopted and was adopted by James and Remus.
Reggie is Bucky Barnes (and this is one of my favourite Marvel characters). Bucky was brainwashed and tortured by Hydra, in pretty much the same way Reggie was by his family. He shared that traumatic past and his absolute desire to be better, and to improve, he doesn't want to be a deatheater anymore and he fights for what's good. Also, if he is Bucky and James is Cap, we can have a bit of Starchaser hehe.
Lily loves Spiderman, and not because James does, nah, Lily has been a fan since she was a kid, she loves his sense of justice and how he fights for what's good. Spiderman's motto "With great power, comes great responsibility" is literally Lily's bible.
Marlene is into Black Window, and not only bc she has a massive crush on her, but because she thinks she is the most badass character in the entire fucking Marvel universe, no joke. She can stand against beasts three times her size, and fight alongside the most powerful superheroes on earth by being just a human woman? She is INCREDIBLE!
Mary gives me Vision vibes, I'm not sure why, but I totally see her reading Vision fanfiction and writing some too.
Barty is a Loki kid, you cannot change my mind. I mean, forgotten and neglected child who has to be exceptionally good at everything to get the attention from his dad? He becomes evil bc he thinks it's the only way he'll get Odin to see him? This to me screams Barty, and he would love Loki.
And lastly, I think Evan likes Quick Silver. Firstly, he thinks he's super hot, but he also loved his relationship with his sister, and he loves Pietro's charm. There's just something about him that he can't stop thinking about. I also feel he would like Mystique, but that's due to her complicated past, and her ability to become anything anyone she wants. He feels it would be so freeing to do that.
PS. Didn't I say I'd go crazy with this analysis? Aaaah I'm such a nerd...

Madison square garden is forced to use ticket master, Ticketmaster in turn raises prices as time goes on especially because of the absolutely massive turn up to presale tickets. Personally, I showed up early for online presale, and was still 4000th in que. at that point, most front row seats were around 200-300 and most nose bleeds were >150. Dropout had nothing to do with pricing, itβs just unfortunately as the show says βCapitalismβ
I was hoping it was just ticketmaster fuckery! Damn, well Iβm sad I couldnβt afford the ticket but at least I donβt have to be disillusioned with the intrepid heroes

Another stone in the lake of Daniil and Artemyi's relationship is the fact their endings are mutually exclusive in the original game, and the game pushes their own as the only one - you have to jump through a lot of hoops to make either even think about destroying Polyhedron for the city's sake or the city itself for its sake.
They're very interesting together, but, and that's another good detail, each and every healer needs to destroy something to even hope to save Gorhon. For Daniil it's the city, since his ending is siding with Blok, for Artemyi it's the Polyhedron because it curses the city, and Clara requires to sacrifice all of the people close to her to save both.
It's common trope in fanfics to assume Daniil chooses Artemyi's ending, but, to be honest, I don't know... It really doesn't feel like him, a man so destructive he'd rather glass the city for the shred of a dream.
It's why in the fanfic I've been picking on, Dankovsky actually fires on Burakh when he realises that there are two more copies of the orders, and promptly gets laid flat on the cobbles in retaliation because Burakh knows that even if that Judas revolver misfired, little man will beat him to death with the butt of the gun if that's what it takes. Dankovsky's entire deal is that he will not compromise, and with Thanatica in cinders, he cannot compromise without effectively erasing the last of himself from existence. The best you can hope for him is him realising that Burakh isn't wrong, but rejecting Burakh's bid on an incredibly mundane, ordinary future that even Burakh acknowledges is bound to result in cataclysmic repetition.
Ideology is a beautiful, mighty thing, and also reliant on the ideologue being uncompromising and destructive. You can't just snuff wildfire with love and shared trauma.
The only way I really see Dankovsky being swayed to choose Burakh's ending is... well tbh, I don't. Just like you can't put a house fire out by talking to it. You have to hose it the fuck down and tame the last spark of that flame on the docile wick of a candle (light, warmth and potable water, baby!), and I think that in most cases it's a serious wish fulfillment and misreading of his character to think that he'd ever stay his hand. Doesn't make him a villain, a good culling by wildfire is literally a terrifying part of a healthy ecosystem. He's not some secret sad boi who just wishes to be softened and understood, if anything between the two men he's by far the one more open to discourse, good collaborative science, and even making age-appropriate friends in a place that defies all common sense.
But he will not grow no fucking turnips on a vegetable patch. Ironically, assuming that he'd yield his dream for Burakh's ending is like him assuming that he can give Death the finger and get away with it. And Death's not evil, either, it's just a part of all life, and if you deny it, you get... well, you become comatose. Forever. And withering away in a comatose state is not living, it's rotting bedsores, degenerating muscles and neurons, and all of your family having to keep on suffering seeing you in this non-state while the hospital bill keeps growing while your comatose carcass takes up a hospital bed that could serve someone who can still be saved from becoming comatose in the first place.
So I always felt like any of the three healers choosing someone else's ending is not 'breaking the game's rules', but more like surrendering something necessary for a whole, living and awake entity to function to its fullest. And given that it's a game about Russia (and to a lesser extent the rest of Eastern Europe. We're a part of the story of this entity even against our will, so it's our story too, whether we like it or not), I'm not even going to dive into how complicated the narrative really gets there.
In the end I've always maintained that no healer is right or wrong, they are what they are, represent what they represent, and the player must choose a sacrifice they themselves can somewhat live with, because what is 'right now' simply cannot continue. Mind you, I like Burakh's ending the best, because the Polyhedron is too close to Lenin's glass coffin for my liking as a player, and I'm a fucking bleeding heart who can't bring herself to slaughter the old pixels and strings of text guard for the sake of the new, but I get why the options are there, I get what they symbolise, why all three are valid and even necessary, and fucking with that gets my Eastern European hackles up for reasons I could write a paper brick on. ItΓ€'s coooooooooomplicaaaaaateeeeeeeed!!!
To be honest if I'm going to be petty, I'd say 'Dankovsky for Burakh's ending' is a very... Western way of thinking. Because it isn't familiar with why and how things here are the way they are, and it's near impossible to comprehend unless you dedicate decades of study to it, or were born and raised here. Which, well, ironically, plays out with an enlightened stranger trying to fix a place whose history and customs and inner workings he doesn't understand. Not out of malice, but simply not being able to wrap their mind around the fuck's going on, or adapt to it, even with the presence of curiosity and goodwill.
I'll close this commiseration with the following: to me the three correspond to the following: a dream, a pair of capable hands, and a choice. A mind and heart without a choice is a slave, a heart and choice without a mind is an idiot, and a mind and choice without the heart is a psychopath. You cannot bend one of the three and expect to fully function as a capable, autonomous creature with a future. And good science, good discourse and good moving forward always happens when mind, heart and soul are in constant conflict. It's like a combustion engine. Take one component away from what makes a combustion engine go, and all you've got is either a dead engine, a mere dream of an engine, or a driver who never learned how to drive.
I've had my P-meta fix, I'm going to return to wiping Canada off the map in Civ 6 now.

No because one of the members of the server Niki is currently a part of was removed for grooming allegations what, a month ago? And so the fact that people would automatically assume she was talking dream and start spreading hatred towards her further goes to show that 1) despite all their posturing, they never cared about her enough to learn a single thing about her, her career, and her community, and 2) they truly never think about anyone but themselves and their man
Exactly.
And I also think it reveals how prevalent and pervasive misogyny is in mcyt as a fandom. To make Niki's multiple experiences as a cc about dream and to be mad she is not the "right kind of victim" or speaking about her experiences in the "right way" heavily links back to people's misogyny. None of those ppl actually cares about her or her experiences or her as a person. To them, she's just a prop for their fav guy even if she doesn't even utter his name. To them, she has to perform always in proximity to "being nice to my fav guy". It's misogyny.

I think the problem is when you say "nothing about you is good" is that a lot of people, young people in particular, afraid admitting leads them to think "Why am I even alive then? If nothing is good about me, maybe I should just die", it leads to despair and sometimes even suicide and the only solution they see is self-love and self-compassion.
Not only that, the powers that be which is modern secular society make it where those who admit this are punished for it. Especially on social media.
You admit you're wrong or not perfect, another person will use that as justification to bully you or use your faults flaunt their supposed moral superiority, not unlike Jesus's parable about the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. Only the Pharisee is more rooted in secular beliefs.
Modern society has made it that if you admit your no good and be selfless and self-sacrificial, then they get to exploit that to punish you relentlessly and call you a hypocrite when you fight back.
It's kinda social coercion and its despicable when you think about
But too many people just gloss over all this and just try to lecture someone in once again, moral superiority
Not saying you're wrong or what you're doing, but I think understanding the current circumstances, personal, cultural, and societal can help address the issue in a way young people can understand and know what to do.
Could be. I agree with what youβre saying. The thing is, figuring out how to say it in the right way only has so much power. Truth is truth; even if you say it in the perfect way, at the perfect time, there are still people who are just not going to like or accept it no matter how well or carefully itβs presented. My post about Wish got a reblog where someone said, βI like how this person is tiptoeing up to saying they wish Disney was Christian without actually saying it.β Because itβs like, yeah, that is what I meant, and no, I didnβt come out and say it exactly like thatβbut someone still saw what I meant, and they disliked the truth that was there. No matter how I couched it.
I mean, we can agree that everything Jesus said, He said perfectly, at exactly the right time, in exactly the right way. But people still rejected it. And I certainly canβt do better than He did.
So at some point, itβs not how you say it; the problemβs not with how itβs said. At some point, the problem might just be with the person youβre talking to. Itβs like a bridge. One end (speaking truth in the exact right way and right time for the audience youβre speaking to) goes halfway, and thatβs great, but the other end has to meet it in the middle (the audience has to accept the truth when they realize it is there) or else the bridge doesnβt work.
But please note; both sides are equally important. I agree with you that the truth has to be spoken in the right way, in the right place, at the right time (and I certainly donβt do that well all the time, or even most of the time.) Thatβs what the Bible means when it says, βspeaking the truth in love.β Itβs got the power of a hammer but itβs supposed to be used with the precision of a scalpel.
Anywho, as far as people not wanting to admit theyβre broken or wrong or have no good in themβwelcome to the human race.
(Iβm going to say some potentially triggering things below the cut, but it ends hopefully, so if youβre reading and youβre someone who struggles with suicidal thoughts, proceed with caution ((I know what itβs like, it can be too slippery a slope to chance at certain times in life))βbut it ends hopefully, which is why Iβm saying it at all.)
And actually, going from βthereβs nothing good in meβ to βwhy am I even alive? Whatβs the point of me, then?β is scary because yes, it can lead to suicideβ¦but that is logical. It is natural. If you stop at βthereβs nothing good in me,β then yeah, the conclusion of that thought, alone, is hopelessness. Of course it is. Of course thatβs why we shy away from it.
But youβre not supposed to stop there. Youβre not supposed to stop at βthereβs nothing good in me.β And really, youβre not even supposed to begin there either.
Thatβs just the middle part.
The beginning part is, βthere was supposed to be something good and worthy about meβI was made in the image of God. He bothered making me, and loved me and wanted to make me, when He didnβt have to. He set humans apart and gave them dominion over everything else He created; we were special, we were chosen, and even now we get to have something His other heavenly supernatural creations, angels, donβt have. I was made as His βveryβ good creationβeverything else was just βgood.β I am special to Him; He made me special.β
Then the middle part is: βAnd itβs ruined. And thereβs nothing good in and of me, because I reject the very source of Goodness, and I reject what I was made to be, which is good. And Iβm not specialβbecause I reject the One who invented βspecialnessβ and gets to decide what that is. And Iβm not worthyββ
Then the best part, the conclusion is: ββexcept that GOD GETS TO DECIDE WHAT βworthinessβ IS, and what βworthinessβ is for, and HE said having a right relationship with me instead of leaving me as an evil empty corrupt creature of the dirt was worth the ultimate sacrifice. The ultimate sacrifice is what Iβm worth, and the ultimate purpose is what Iβm worthy for.β
If I didnβt have that last part, that part that has nothing to do with me and everything to do with God, I wouldnβt be here to type this, about ten times over.
There is no hope, no light, no truth, no life, inside of you by yourself. Itβs only outside of you. Itβs only in God.
But thereβs a third point of view here. Weβve established Point of View 1) βIβm worthy because God says I am,β and weβve established the one that gets stuck halfway, Point of View 2) βIβm evil and thereβs nothing good in me.β
But then thereβs Point of View 3) βYahweh doesnβt get to decide what makes me good or worthy or anything because if He did, that would make Him Godβin chargeβand I donβt want Him to be in charge of me, or to say anything about me; therefore the only thing that matters is what I say and how I feel about myself. Hope, hopelessness, worth, unworthiness; itβs all defined and felt by me, for me, nobody elseβ¦(which makes me God.)β
Point of View 3 is the one that most people are actually stuck on. So they reach for it and condemn anyone who has Point of View 1, and meanwhile try to encourage Point of View 2 people to get to Point of View 3 with them.
But Point of View 3 is going nowhere. Itβs empty and hollow. Because once you decide you can define good for yourself, and worthiness for yourself, both βgoodβ and βworthyβ change to be whatever you want them to be moment-to-moment, and thereforeβ¦lose all objective, real meaning. And even if you can fool yourself into thinking that Point of View 3, which does not line up with reality, isnβt as hollow as it is, youβll still have to deal with the consequences of that eventually.
Read the book of Romans, or the book of John. Itβs all there.
Romans 2:11-12:
ββ¦RememberΒ that you were at that time without Christ,Β alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and strangers toΒ the covenants of promise, havingΒ no hope andΒ without God in the world.Β But now inΒ Christ Jesus you whoΒ formerly wereΒ far off haveΒ been brought nearΒ by the blood of Christ.β

Ohh my gosh, I've been following you for a long time but hadn't actually plopped onto your like, blog page itself in a while and. Everything is pink!!! This is amazing I love the look and vibe so much!!! Have a great day
Aww thank you! ^_^
Actually, I've been thinking of changing it for a while now because pink doesn't really make sense for a blog with mushroom and forest photography but then again I don't play by the rules. XD

Do you have a favorite Super Mario RPG character? Mine is probably Mallow - I just started playing the remake and I don't know how they made him even cuter but they did!!
Mine is Geno! Iβve loved Geno since I first played SMRPG at age 8, and heβs been my favorite video game character ever since.
A ton of my aesthetic and character preferences come from him too lolβI think he was the first βbig brother/mom friendβ type character that I loved π Heβs really special to me! I wanted to become him when I was a kid also lol
Mallow is SO CUTE in the remake!! He is way cuter and I canβt get over his silly little dance on the level up screen π son boy π

18. Do you title your fics before, during, or after the writing process? How do you come up with titles?
Weeeee thank you! Answering these very cool asks about writing
During almost always. Iβll usually have a title once Iβve got my anchor points down. Usually I just hope a title will come to me by osmosis, lmao. Often they are thematically linked (the portrait being about a literal portrait and also a little outsider perspective on a relationship, monster mine being about a literal monster in the slayer form and also some of the more horrific elements of Manva and Gortashβs relationship) but sometimes I do go for the song lyric or line of poetry route if nothing is coming to me!

YOU ARE BORED AND I AM IN YOUR ASKS.
What's the question you've been secretly hoping someone would ask you about one of your fics?? That thing only you know, that little detail, that easter egg, that thing that every writer has. β€οΈ
gosh i have so many little secrets but most of them will only get touched on in the future (in the mud fic, but also others)
usually it's related to the frankly absurd amounts of worldbuilding i've been doing for serenno specifically :P
but if i had to pick one thing that is very close to my heart its that the mandalorian spy on Coruscant in Meanwhile On Mandalore is Elan Sleazebaggano, aka the disgraced former med student that wanted to sell Obi-Wan deathsticks in canon.
there were only the vaguest of hints and its something that literally is just for me
