#there’s some debate between timing

[haruchiyos]

Made the decision to do a cord cutting ritual on Tuesday or Wednesday during the full moon. I’m tired and I’m hurt and I don’t want these people to continue to take my energy

#there’s some debate between timing #if the full or new moon is more ideal #but I’m on the side of the full simply because it leads into the waning #phase which allows the release to ease rather than it being one intense blow #I need to be more grounded in my trust of my intuition #she was right months ago and it took me till now to accept it fully #I’m considering ultilizing my own blood for it as well #I want this to be done for good #🖤.occult #🖤.az overshares

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Percy, listening to this on the train

#STOP TRAUMATIZING THIS CHILD PLEASE #this is what it’s like when you were raised in a loving home and you find out your friend wasn’t #but they don’t know they weren’t #so you’re like um hey that’s fucked up and sometimes a crime? #you tell them parents are supposed to love you as is without earning it and they don’t believe you #you can hear the therapy bill racking up #annabeth chase #Percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #mine #adding on to my tags because some people are debating if that’s how love works #love is meant to be a mutual exchange and something that grows over time between two people as their bond grows #whereas how Annabeth says it #in my opinion at least #she had to do XY and Z to be worthy of thalias love before receiving it #like with her mother #she has to be amazing before Athena is proud of her #vs Athena being proud of her just for being her daughter #that being said I’m not hating on a traumatized child having potentially negative and toxic patterns #more pointing out the comedy of the scene from Percy’s perspective who has a good grasp on healthy vs unhealthy relationships

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 3: Enveloping Feelings.

(Part 1, Part 2, Part 4 (soon))

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #Yungmeng Jiang training arc AU #I wanted to try out a different paneling style for this one - sorry I'm a day late! (there will still be a post tomorrow to keep on track) #The original 3 panel comic idea was fine but the point of this new schedule was to take time to push myself a bit more. #I was taking a look back through some comic artists I felt inspired by #and I really loved how Lynda Barry fills her gutters with patterns and doodles! #Obviously I'm not going as absolutely wild with it as she does but it was a great exercise! #I truly think the gutters are the most important and most overlooked part of any comic. There's lots going on in that space. #It's the same with timeskips. The implied movement between moments that we don't see changes depending on how wide that gap is #You're here for the funny tags so here's some that ties this time talk together: #I think LWJ was thinking about that second note from day 2 but it took him 7 days of hazing to commit it to paper. #I think he sends it a day later and immediately regrets it. Chasing down the messenger and everything. #You know if something actually happened to his brother he would never ever forgive himself for putting the bad vibes out there. #Third time skip was the hardest because there was so many possible flavours of jokes here. Day 8/9 was a personal favourite. #day 14 was also funny (week by week). I think the debate on 'how long does lwj take to catch feelings' is more or less: #'how long does it take for him to arrive at a particular stage of grief and yearning (and awareness of it all) #This is a symphony. There is an act by act structure. Every day he is fighting to keep his old sensibilities. He is losing so badly. #(I'll be returning to the main comic soon but there is more of this AU to come!)

Zoro demanding that Luffy not allow Usopp back on the ship seems to be a much more divisive topic than I originally thought. Looking at yknow, so many different sides, I think I understand how his words can feel cruel when you take into account how much Usopp grew in Enies Lobby and how much he pushed himself to the very limit trying to make things right. but then of course I have my own take away and. honestly this next bit might sound even crueler towards Usopp at first. I just don’t think that this was about Usopp at all. Or at least not in Zoro’s eyes.

His focus was on the way Luffy still needed to grow as a reliable Captain than on what Usopp needed to do as a crew mate. Luffy needed to reinforce his authority before moving on. He was formally challenged, and in Zoro’s eyes this couldn’t go unaddressed and untalked about- and let me pause here to reiterate that even though I’m arguing in this moment he was disregarding Usopp’s personal growth (as many ppl criticize him for) it’s not because he respects him less than Luffy or god forbid loves him less than Luffy- because as much as the Strawhats tend to disregard traditional rules of authority on their ship, Luffy is their Captain. And that means he’s holding their dreams in his hands. Someone challenging his authority is big, even if Luffy doesn’t want it to be, because how could he expect the Strawhats to continue to rely on him for leadership? When he’s willing to bury the hatchet without him and Usopp having even spoken to each other properly without a mask in between them.

“We’re not kids playing pirates” isn’t Zoro trying to say ‘Usopp’s actions towards Luffy were childish’ like many people think, it’s ‘you need to resolve this issue like an adult’. And though everyone’s allowed to read this moment differently, I really hope the ones who read it the same way I do don’t still think Zoro was in the wrong for asking Luffy to stand his ground properly. 

#i’ve read some truly PHENOMENAL fics that have still surprised me with the way the author interpreted this conflict between Zoro and Usopp #and I dont mean it in a bad way at all it’s still a very nuanced and thought-out take and fitting for the tone of the fic #but it also made me wanna run to get my own take on it written somewhere on this blog to see if OTHERS are surprised by it #or outright disagree #i’m usually very nervous about debating this kind of thing cause people can get aggressive but. #i at least trust usopp fans to be chill and i’m sure theyre the ones who have spent the most time analyzing this moment #anywho #roronoa zoro #water 7 #monkey d. luffy #one piece #god usopp

When you backread through a fun conversation you had with someone for hours an angel gets its wings

#I was talking to my brother about Norman doors and I had fun in my UX class and he was telling me about demon cores and the trolley problem #in his class. AND I remembered to take my meds today so I can feel every cell in my body. i can feel the neurons rubbing together #and yesterday I infodumped about the specialists bullseye chart to crow and how it ties with witch hat atelier #WHICH I MANAGED TOGET THEM TK READ IM SO HAPPY. I MAKE SQUEALING GUINEA PIG NOISES EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME WHAT THEYVE READ SO FAR. AHH #i might not even be scratching the surface with witch hat there are so many themes i could not possibly fathom or go over my heasd #and thats what makes it so exciting there are so many spaces in between that you can fill with your thoughts and i. i #waves my hands around manically #for anyone interested in my insane ramblings. the bullseye chart is from are we all scientific experts now by harry collins #in my own words its basically saying everything we know about anything is a game of broken telephone #and it discusses how information gets lost in translation between experts and laymen including things that arent in control #one of the main points was how things that happen between experts are complicated including debates and findings #that you can only really understand thru research and experience in that field and cant be smoothly shared without it being reworded #and risking some of those key points. or even concepts that are hard to understand that cant be shared at all #like if you tried to tell me about how DNA works using words scientists are familiar with but i am NOT- i risk missing concepts that i need #to understand to know how it works on the level you understand. or i risk having it reworded and understanding it but not on that level #AND IT DOES TIE TO WITCH HAT THE WITCH AND NORMAL FOLK COMMUNITIES I PROMISE. ITS SO INTERESTING #anyway i spent hours reading back thru that conversation and i might as well admit it goes for almost every fun conversation i have #and it might be the 20mg of adderall in my body but i am in such a state of peace and love i have to verbalize it. ahh #yapping

SYD YOU DO NOT GO OUTSIDE TO TWO FIGHTING GANGS WITHOUT BACKUP THE BEEF IS ALREADY SHORT HANDED

oh thank heaven backup thank you tina and gary

i think tina could take on everyone here. she's got scary mom energy, i love it

"now we're all in various states of knowing each other" she really is improv-ing this isn't she. i love you dearly syd please have a plan

gun in the front richie??? if you blow your balls off carmy is never gonna let you live it down and you'll deserve it

the power of sandwiches to solve conflict! XD it's pretty much the only thing they had as leverage, but 1) the Beef really doesn't have the money for free sandwiches for gangsters every week for the rest of forever and 2) oh boy is this gonna send richie off the deep end. he already feels irrelevant b/c of his [redacted] ex-wife and carmy taking over the Beef, and the episode and the one before it has reminded us he's not doing well

"where you gonna go, Richie?" he's still grieving Mikey, and he doesn't have him anymore. lost his best friend, his wife, thinks he's losing his kid, losing the restaurant, losing the institutions he's so familiar with? things are not going well for richie and it's gonna come to a head

carmy offering an apology to syd here is technically unneeded, but very sweet, and he asks if she's okay just like sugar wanted him to ask her! they're very not subtle with that -- he learns a lesson, he applies it to his relationship with sydney, rinse, repeat. who carmy's deepest relationship with at this point is probably a mix of richie and sugar, but the relationship he puts the most effort into by far is his relationship with sydney. inchresting.

aaaaaand richie called the cops. really, really hoping there aren't consequences for that and it's just illustrating how disconnected he is, because The Beef cannot handle more repair bills, truly

#the bear #liveblogging #it's well into the am gotta shower and sleep but tomorrow should be the last two episodes of s1 and i'm terrified and excited #by my count chekov's guns that have yet to be fired: the risotto and ribs syd gave to the customer; the debate over the to-go system #marcus' lack of focus slash time spent on his doughnuts; richie feeling abandoned; mikey's debt; marcus and copenhagen #mikey and mrs berzatto's impact on the family slash family trauma; carmy's reoccuring fire incidents #i think that's it as far as i can tell? maybe a health scare with syd's dad he has all those pill bottles #oh and unfortunately the tension between sydney and carmy right now with her impatience #i have a feeling that's gonna bite in the finale #i don't know if all of these will fire before the end of the season -- some i doubt like copenhagen and family trauma #but some are definitely gonna go off

Aspect of Order: Primordial & Present-Day

One of the first deities, part of what is known as the Primordial Triad. It created the planes alongside the Aspects of Chaos and the In-Between and held dominion over the Material Plane. It embodied order in the way nature has order: the life cycle, gravity, the tides, the surety that the seasons will change, the patterns that appear in flora and fauna alike, the symmetry of pinecones and butterflies. It was associated with the night as a time of quiet preparation where the world rests, and when one can see the remains of creation in the darkened sky. It is said that the two moons of the Material Plane are its eyes, watching over its creations.

All three members of the Primordial Triad are referred to with "it", so ancient and unfathomable that applying a mortal, transient concept of gender to them seemed almost blasphemous.

Almost.

The modern-day conception of Order is quite different. Though she still reigns over the night and natural laws, her followers have placed her at the forefront of the creation process, reducing the In-Between's role and rejecting Chaos altogether. Though most present-day cultures think of her in this way, many of them do not emphasize her: she is an invisible Over-God, keeping the other deities and forces in line and maintaining cosmic balance from behind the scenes. In places where she is worshipped heavily, however, she is placed at the forefront of the pantheon. In those cases, worship of deities with overlapping domains is either illegal (ex local gods of justice) or considered secondary to her (ex the god of the Wilds). The worship of smaller, local deities is usually discouraged or suppressed over-all in these areas in order to encourage a more structured, uniform religious practice. While both aspects of Order championed paladins, Primordial Order also championed druids and rangers while Modern Order champions clerics.

Ancient theologians debated whether or not Order and Chaos were two aspects of the same being (ironically, there was no question that the In-Between was its own separate force). However, following the iconoclasm that effectively forced Chaos out of the pantheon and created the modern conception of Order, such lines of thought were considered heretical, and then blasphemous.

The iconoclasm did have an unintended consequence, however. Crying motifs appeared in some art of Primordial Order around that time, particularly in the areas that resisted the iconoclasts more intensely. Some scholars believe that it may have been a direct reaction to the event: Order mourning the loss of its counterpart. Others have argued, however, that the lack of such motifs (or equivalents) in depictions of the In-Between prove this wrong. After all, why would it not also be grieving?

#i think one of the things that i really enjoy being on here is the majority of us stuck around tumblr and didnt migrate #because we genuinely just love shooting the shit about her and her songs and her mythology #creating content and engaging in (sometimes) good hearted debates #and the one good thing is most people on here are at least 8/10+ year fans of hers so you're talking to people who #deeply appreciate her as an artist and a public figure #and aren't looking for attention really and in fact would loathe her return to the platform because #this atmosphere is really nice when it's this and it's mostly nice cuz she's not here #(for the most part like OBVIOUSLY some brain diseases never leave people just cuz she left and we all avoid you people) #but i think my favorite part is that this environment allows me to easily find people who are the true two feet on the ground people like m #who are ok talking about her as the business woman that she is. shrewd and calculating and #how that's not a value judgement or a character judgement. this is her JOB and it requires certain mental and emotional relationships #that she doesn't want fans to be aware of but they are the reality and duh they're hidden BECAUSE that would ruin the way the #entire machine functions like i know i know #but i didn't realize how far and few swifites who can enjoy her and see her for what she is and appreciate WHY that is are and not be #personally offended like thank god she's not here cuz idk how i would have found those people #also i'm over the moon she's (temporarily at least) done with the M&G shit cuz the wars that would have broken out between the #new tiktok fans and the tumblr old guard...... i would have perhaps left this platform entirely #i couldn't take it during rep and that was just about whether or not you deserved to be a FAN because of an album concept #swifties at their worst and most cult like loyalty that never turned me off swiftie fandom faster #and now that there is a HUGE divide.... i already know who taylor would choose for m&gs and i know WHY and it's not like evil #but the effect it would have on legacy fans....... there would be never a worse time in swiftie history so thank GOD for this #so i can keep blogging about my hot wife and her top tier songwriting and my love of pattern recognition #IN PEACE #idk what this was all about but i just like had to brain dump i guess anyway love all of you my smart normal grown up friends on here

when I was a kid I was rlly upset that art teachers didn’t like anime-inspired art, and then I realized it wasn’t the anime aspect. jumping into highly stylized art without knowing the fundamentals AND with a refusal to learn them is a bad combo

#I’m noticing now that a lot of artists don’t do professional critiques anymore #I think it’s a reaction to how people treat beginner artists #and a lot of ppl don’t know that u can draw for like a decade and still be a beginner artist #ppl are cruel #those cringe videos where ppl just took ppls ocs and harrassed n bullied them were so fucked up #that doesn’t mean that artist should be untouchable #I remember the great Miguel gender end debate #where they took miggy from being a tall brown man with heavy wrinkles full lips a defined nose and head shape #and made him a lightly tanned skinny white girl #most genderbends are boring to me for that reason #ppl got mad #some more than others and a bunch of professional artists defended the ppl who did all the whitewashing n shit #but nary a word when artist of colour BLACKz IM TALKING ABT BLACK ARTISTS #get harrassed en masse. or ppl watching spiderverse tryna draw POC for the first time #and uh. drawing them badly. and it’s one thing if it’s a beginner or a kid and a few features are wrong #proportions are hard. that’s not the problem. there’s a difference between a mistake and a choice #someone being able to draw amazing pieces but choosing to white wash choosing to make fat characters thin #we know the difference. or god when nb artists tried tell black ppl how our skin works #but yeah. I think ppl are rightly sensitive to criticism because of the internet I think we’re just swinging in the wrong direction of #NO CRITIQUE EVER. Speaking of I wanna find that blog that does red-lining submissions

Thinking about the conflict that comes with being a spiderman who’s aware of the spiderverse. Like you’ve lost and lost and lost so much and to find all these others like you because it’s fate and destiny and written in an unavoidable way. Thinking about how if you’re one of those spiders and here’s this Miles Morales, fifteen years old, who’s about to lose someone of his own too. Thinking about the morality and the turmoil of being torn between knowing that it’s unavoidable and also not wanting this child, this kid, to feel the loss you did but at the same time also being resentful because why should he get that when you and so many others didn’t but at the same time hurting for this kid to find his happiness. He’s just a kid y’know? He shouldn’t need to choose between his family or the world

#idk im just rambling a lot i Have Thoughts™️ #SURELY there are some of the other spiders out there who don’t want miles to go through this despite the threat of the mutliverse collapsing #(i mean ik they teamed up to save miles at the end but like i was thinking about this… #the whole time when that confrontation between miles and miguel happened and he trapped miles #also i am not up for debate let me be sad #spiderman across the spiderverse spoilers #atsv spoilers #spiderman spoilers #spiderman across the spiderverse

I’m currently working my way through a game in another franchise, but I found myself getting a bit nostalgic and missing playing the AC ones; so here’s another little compilation from a previous Syndicate play session. A little hidden blade action, a little combat, cart hijacks, boat raids - you get the drill. Just another typical day in London, shaken up by a certain chaotic Frye twin. 😂
