MOM HOLY FUCK THEY REALLY ARE SAYING IT

EXCUSE ME

EXCUSE ME

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT IS THIS THE GREATEST THING 

LET’S TALK ABOUT THIS

Clamp absolutely set the precedent for this with our visit to Shura/Shara all those years ago. We’ve SEEN the possibility of being in the past and future of the same world and teleporting between the two. We knew the feathers could appear pretty much anywhere in the timeline of a world, given how time works differently across the mutliverse, and we DID just straight up go backwards and forwards in time via Mokona, so it’s absolutely possible for them to appear in the Past of the Kingdom of Clow. 

WHICH IS APPARENTLY ACID TOKYO????

WHICH JUST ABSOLUTELY BLOWS MY MIND WHAT THE FUCK

WHAT A WAY TO TIE IT ALL TOGETHER??

X/1999 IS THE SET UP TO THE CLOW KINGDOM?

THE CLOW KINGDOM IS IN THE RUINED ECOLOGICAL DISASTER OF OUR OWN CURRENT WORLD??? 

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle as a pseudo-not-really-but-kind-of-sequel-event to Cardcaptor Sakura but ACTUALLY ALSO being the sequel-kind-of-but-not-exactly sequel to X/1999???? Or Alternate Timeline X/1999? Where things are ever so slightly different but the world was ruined in the same way?

AND THE RESERVOIR

THE RESERVOIR IN ACID TOKYO IS THE RESERVOIR IN THE CLOW RUINS????

I’m REELING OVER THIS

THEY SET THAT UP

SAKURA WALKED THROUGH THE DESERT TO PURIFY THE WATER TO SAVE THESE PEOPLE AND IT MADE THE RESERVOIR THAT LOVED SAKURA SO MUCH THAT IT PROTECTS HER

AND WATANUKI! WATANUKI WAS AN ESSENTIAL PIECE OF SETTING UP THE RESERVOIR IN A WORLD BEFORE HE EVEN EXISTED IN THAT TIMELINE

And that’s Definitely the feather they’re talking about, isn’t it? The feather that Sakura left in Acid Tokyo is still in the Reservoir right now, and is the reason the water is magic and loves her so much - because it’s a piece of her, and -... well, a piece of her clone. But it’s a piece of SAKURA, and so they resemble and resonate with each other, and that's why the water is so close to her, but 'Sakura' can’t absorb the feather because she’s already a full person and those aren’t her memories, but the memories of her clone.

Meanwhile Sakura (ie, our cloned Sakura) is currently on the other side of the portal at a point in time that DIDN’T exist a few seconds ago, for Original 'Sakura', but the rest of the universe has moved on and decades have passed (even though no time at all has passed for her) and now the feather from her clone has ended up in the past that set up the reservoir potentially centuries before she was even born. 

Timeline!

Oh my god?

Oh my god. 

I’m going to be thinking about this forever. 

No wait I’m not done ACID TOKYO WAS like THE point in the narrative where everything changed forever. And from a Tsubasa point of view it felt like a world picked at random for all the Important Narrative changes to take place - but it never was! It was the most important world of all! It was the Clow Kingdom!

So Syaoran lived his life in the Clow Kingdom, and then his soul collapsed in Acid Tokyo, which was ALSO the Clow Kingdom, and then he went and died defending Lava Lamp, in the Clow Kingdom. All at completely different points in the timeline but all in the exact same world. 

Though I will say I am thoroughly baffled by the connection between the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building and THE CLOW RUINS???

ARE THEY SUPPOSED TO BE THE SAME BUILDING?

Oh my god they’re in the same location aren’t they. The reservoir was underneath it and now it’s under the ruins. I suppose they have Magic so they could probably reshape them however they want but WHAT A CON CLAMP HAVE PULLED ON US

TO SPEND THE ENTIRE MANGA STARING AT THE WINGS OF THE CLOW RUINS AND THEY WERE SECRETLY WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME TO TELL US THAT WE WERE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE TOKYO METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT BUILDING ALL ALONG

THE AUDACITY OF IT ALL

#I LOVE IT? #I LOVE IT! #OH MY GOD THEY PULLED THE WHOLE RUG AWAY #THE GREATEST NARRATIVE CIRCLE? #THE MOST EXTREME TWIST? #OH MY GOD #Liveblogging the reservoir chronicle #Tsubasa #Vol 212 #Lava Lamp Guy #Fai #Kurogane #ACID TOKYO? IN MY CLOW KINGDOM??? #IT’S MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK! #Excuse me I have to stare at the wall for seventeen hours

“There are some that suggest that areas of heavy limestone have some sort of connection to paranormal events.”

I’m watching a video about the hauntings of Houska Castle in the Czech Republic, and this line came out, and I just …

Okay. Noodling around, apparently this is about properties of limestone as a material (made of deceased organic creatures, so more psychically permeable), which is a whole different ballgame, but if it was about limestone areas, I can tell you exactly why they’re associated with hauntings and other mysterious things.

It’s because they’re full of fucking holes.

Limestone is ridiculously vulnerable to water, and karst caves can be fucking huge. As an exercise, hop over to wikipedia’s list of longest cave systems in the world, and head down through the list, and see how many of them are limestone (with some gypsum for variety). The same for the list of deepest cave systems. Limestone areas are often just riddled with gaps and holes and weird formations, and weird noises from weird formations, and people vanishing because goddamn holes opened up under them when a below-ground cave finally got eaten enough to collapse. They’re just …

Limestone areas are full of caves. The caves go long and deep and weird. People hide in them. People die in them. People vanish near them. They’re just full of holes. So yeah, they’ve a reputation for weird shit and people going missing. Because they’re full of holes.

Sorry. I’m actually not opposed to paranormal stuff. I quite like ghost stories and paranormal exploration and all of that. Just. Talk about the actual natural causes first?

Especially since this particular case, Houska Castle, the whole thing is that a bottomless pit opened up in the limestone under it and is rumoured to descend to hell. And like. Yes? It’s limestone. That shit do happen.

The stories are really fun, though.

#random #paranormal #geology #limestone might be haunted #but it's DEFINITELY full of holes #big ones

apparently people fight over ninerose and tenrose and which ship is better…? bro that’s literally the same guy. same ship. what are you talking about

[sacrificethelamb]

i really like shibari & i really like kink but i don’t usually put the two together and a lot of people don’t get that

#i dont submit to my rope top and im not a rope bottom for my Dom #surprise! they’re two different people #breaking brains is what i do best apparently #sacrifice speaks

[axolozzy]

hey is there a difference from stealing something mass manufactured from a multibillion dollar corporation or stealing food from homeless people. trying to see somethjng. trying to prove my family wrong

#vent #vent incoming #i hate my family #OBVIOUSLY. THERES A HUGE FUCKINF DIFFERENCE??????? ARE YOU STUPID??????? ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID???? #WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!!!! #APPARENTLY STEALING IS JUST AS MORALLY WRONG AS R/PING SOMEONE?????? #said my parents just now #i can’t take it i gotta get out of here i can’t stand listening to my parents say the most stupidest shit i’ve ever heard #they’re gonna kick me out after i graduate anyway i guess so i should probably get a job #thinking about working for 8 hours straight everyday makes me wanna fucking kms though (/j) i dont know what im gonna do #i don’t have any friends irl that are older than me and have their shit figured out #i need to get my shit together #i’ll be okay all this will blow over in a few hours and we’ll all be forgiving eachother anyway #like always

I don’t know what I expected today, but I most definitely did not expect to be told, in Russian, that I deserve to die by strangulation bc I’m not “fulfilling my destiny” by choosing not to have kids.

#context this was on a YouTube comment directed at me out of idk how many similar comments #apparently being born with a uterus means your entire life’s purpose is to have children #was also called selfish for being child-free #the irony here is how much I love kids #I love my role as auntie and supporting those kids #I literally LOVED working with kids the most in all my time in health care #though I haven’t chosen a speciality I know I want to go into a specialty that allows me to work with kids at least some of the time #I may very well do rural FM and end up delivering a fair few babies #but nah since I’m not birthing them out of my own vagina I’m literally useless #was likely just an internet troll but they may also really believe what they’re saying #oh they also told me that my marriage / any partnership is pointless without kids #seems like they think the only differences bw married and just friends is money and sex #and ofc sex without reproduction is let fulfilling your destiny omfg #fun fact y’all a marriage type relationship can just be about support and connection that you want with only that one person! #ugh people suck

[theres-whump-in-that-nebula]

I kind of want to try making mead or ambrosia 👀

Obviously not right now because I have Shit To Do; but maybe during the summer after I’ve moved

#alcohol mention #Apparently you can make mead out of honey and I love honey so of course I have to try it #I want to make more food from scratch so I can reduce my plastic consumption #because my ten-year goal is to convert to a completely anticapitalist zero-waste lifestyle #Just for me… I don’t put pressure on anyone to do the same unless they’re well-off and being ridiculous about their consumption #Except for maybe encouraging people to switch to reusable water bottles if they’re in an area where the tap water is potable #(like where I live) #or flaunting my canvas shopping bag that I got for 5 dollars at a hardware store whenever possible #Okay I guess I do push people a little bit #But it’s all reasonable things directed at people I know are physically mentally and financially able to do those things #or I’ll just casually mention microplastics and pollution in conversation as a “fun fact” #But I’m not ridiculous about it with anyone but myself #I hold myself to some weird standards that I don’t hold others to and I’m fine with it #Obviously it’s the corporations’ faults that everything is the way it is and no single person can make a huge difference #But if everyone does one thing to help the planet; then it might buy us some time to change the system #There is also the issue of supply and demand; if more people reduce plastic intake then less plastic will be produced #But again: it’s very hard to be ethical in this society. EVERYTHING enjoyable is packaged in plastic and it sucks #(ok not literally everything but consider: most candy is wrapped in plastic and clothes have plastic tags and chips are in plastic #sushi is in plastic containers and meat is in shrink wrap or styrofoam and most modern chewing gum is a byproduct of vinyl #toys are packaged in plastic etc. etc.)

I do not trust anyone who does not have a good relationship with their partner(s) and/or child(ren). Especially if they’re in any position of authority. How about you get your own house in order before you try being in charge elsewhere?

Anyway I just watched Succession last night with my husband and I don’t understand how Shiv and Tom have such a toxic marriage. If Shiv’s so smart and savvy, why is she so bad at manipulating Tom? He is such a simple little man! Tell him you love him and ask after his winery and hide your affairs better! Put some more fondness in your tone when you’re being condescending to/about him! Hint that you have mysterious and better plans for his future after you imply that he’s going to be let go from his job! He never would have betrayed you if you were actually good at playing the game and didn’t make him question his security as your spouse! He already wants to kneel at your feet and eat out of your hand so let him and tell him good boy once in a while!

#relationships #adulting #my husband says this makes me ultra-conservative #apparently I sound like a tradcatch mafia don #but if your management skills suck at home #they’re probably gonna suck at the office #and if you’re awesome at the office #why don’t you apply some of those skills and methods at home #or do some fucking work and figure it all out #I judge aromantic and asexual people by completely different ultra-conservative social stereotypes #don’t worry I’m not excluding or erasing anyone #succession #honestly all of them have shitty marriages #and bad relationships with their kids #the breakdown of the family is responsible for unchecked corporate greed and late-stage capitalism #go fill that cavity where your soul is with some meaningful social bonds instead of money #I am very concerned with the breakdown of the American family #but unlike right-wing Americans #I’m not an idiot so I know it’s not because of atheists and LGBT people #it’s because people who didn’t get their own house in order are in charge of the rest of us #and they hate their families and never want to spend time with them #and so they don’t let us spend any time with our families #and that’s why we don’t have federally mandated paid parental and caregiver’s leave

sooo done with all this fitz hate

#fitz could’ve gotten really mad at the sokeefe kiss but no he told sophie how he was feeling and they talked it out like mature people #but apparently he’s not allowed to feel sad at all that his ex kissed someone else?? who doesn’t feel at least a little bit hurt over that #also i think he was expecting that sophie would get back together with him once she was ready so the kiss was like being broken #up with a second time but this time for good #also i GUARANTEE YOU if fitz’s and keefe’s positions in sophie’s love life were reversed they’d react to sophie dating the other pretty #much exactly the same as the other did #fitz isn’t overreacting. it’s different circumstances #there’s a difference between your crush dating someone else and your ex that you though was going to date you again when she was ready to #kissing someone else #ALSO fitz constantly reminds sophie they’re cognates because he’s been raised in an environment where he’s told that he as a #person doesnt matter‚ just his talents and abilities and what he can do #and he thinks if sophie forgets that they’re cognates she wont care about him anymore. he thinks his cognate status is the only reason #sophie cares about him. and if he can’t offer that‚ what can he offer? #blame elven society and the vacker legacy and the pedestal he was placed on before he was even born. but don’t blame him #kotlc spoilers #stellarlune spoilers #rant in tags #kinda #kotlc #fitz vacker

i should start telling people irl to rotate between using my first middle and last name and to mix and match pronouns with each name

#they’re all viable first names of traditionally different genders #just use all of them surprise me #maybe someone will actually call me frances 😭 people irl just choose to use my first/deadname which is annoying #bc usually i tell ppl frances but apparently my deadname is more fun

[rockleaves]

fascinating and confusing to me how many people think paul’s gender situation is eerie because it’s too clean and neat when i genuinely do not see it as being clean or neat at all

#t #ntn spoilers #nona the ninth spoilers #like…..their jumbled memory. their switching between i and we. #nona constantly referring to their body as camilla’s even after they’ve given their name and she’s recognized them as someone entirely new #like truly the way i read it any sense of their being a ‘clean and neat’ solution or a ‘blank slate’ came from a combination of: #1. their being born in a crisis situation and being made from 2 people who Act in a crisis #2. nona being the person to describe them and nona actively dying and being very stressed at the time of doing so #and 3. the religious aspect of their existence. how they immediately begin healing ppl and preach a new gospel to one of god’s saints. #the religious aspect is what’s eerie and most interesting to me #and it’s in massive conversation with their personhood and gender but the religious part having an immediate eerie easy confidence #doesn’t mean their whole gender does……to me anyway #like they’re a MESS already and their mess is in conversation with the personhood and gender of other characters in the series #who inhabit bodies not originally their own. it’s delicious. #like i think other characters SEE paul as a clean blank slate but that doesn’t mean they actually are #not saying anyone is wrong here it’s just interesting to me because apparently i read paul very very differently than some!

Today’s show was a little :/ but I learned a LOT

#I was like. visibly upset #(even tho my skit was the best one but also. that wasn’t saying much) #I got so in my HEAD cause I invited people. and then #Marie sat me down afterward and was like GIRL I do this for a living #and I promise u I have been in much much much worse shows before #and she was actually really sweet #she said I was super funny and had been that way since pretty early on #and that I picked up stuff really quick and was light years ahead of most people #and I’ve been worried about being too combative and she was like girl don’t change any thing about yourself #I keep. getting that advice from 40-50 year olds lol #which I appreciate #they all say that most people are not this Sure of themselves at this age (but also I’m NOT SURE OF MYSELF. I just happen to have very #strong opinions. and no issue expressing them) and apparently that’s not Normal #but is helpful #anyways #all of us hung out for like. five hours afterward and it was nice! #I like having this group of friends that’s Different from work friends #I need to join more Things #but seriously I love improv and improv adjacent people so much #they’re all so funny and absolutely FASCINATING #and they’re all trying to get me to give them tours of **** lmao #I am going to soon but it’s funny people I never met came up to me and went you work WHERE give me a tour NOW #anyways. I’m 23 #Marie put her head in her hands after I mentioned that #she was like I was a HOT MESS at 23 ur doing so fine #and I am. I’m being Brave and altho I’m not great at being Normal maybe I don’t absolutely have to be

just heard coat of many colors by Dolly Parton for the first time I’m so sorry I’m going to need a minute or several days——

#😭😭😭 #you know #we’re watching the shania twain documentary right now and I am having so many thoughts on Pop (country) Stars #and Dolly and Taylor—they do such different things they have different ministries #but in my (admittedly) limited knowledge of the pantheon of music superstars they’re the only two where I feel like I can compare #And they’re not the same at all. Taylor’s core is romance and Dolly’s is almost just the warmth of faith and love #but the humanity striking so deep and the impact spreading so wide #and this core that is so so solid and doesn’t depend on the (very different) aesthetics to exist #those are the SAME in both #anyway I just #present day dolly parton used to scare me because of the aesthetic and i knew nothing about her #but so many people said they loved her with such warmth and then once I started reading about her/listening more #there’s just this power and this voice and this love #that just. It goes so deep! Strikes deep into the roots of things #I am feeling a lot of things in this Chili’s tonight about female superstars #with shania apparently just being the catalyst (I don’t know shania. I’ve only heard like one Song) #Text posts brought to you by Maria needing to go back to school but not sure quite being ready #thanks 4 listening

disclaimer : this is a personal life vent look away

shouldn’t be sharing this but i need to take it off my brain (wow reading it back it really sounds like i lost my mind but unfortunately it’s all true and not all of it fits in 30 tags lmaooo)

#because at this point it’s too funny not to share #keep in mind that all of this happened in the last two months 😭 #so my dad wants to introduce us to his new gf who he met barely two weeks ago on holidays and will now move in and look for a job here caus #she’s from romania and wants to stay ????? #i know because my dad asked me to clear my room so she has one which okay i guess #my room that’s currently full cause we had to get the stuff we stored at my grandparents following my parents breakup as they’re themselves #getting a divorce after 60 years together and selling the family home we all grew up in #this happening because my grandma got diagnosed with alzheimer n my grandpa so this as an escape door to talk about her being violent #cause breaking news we all looked up to them as the inspiration for a couple but apparently she’s been abusive their whole life #we also just learned to our last name should be different as my grandpa never knew his dad and too his mothers name #all of this we learned having to question our aunt cause we found out by randomly seeing to house on selling website and our dad just sayin #'sometimes people aren’t in love anymore' like we’re 5 yo #i don’t think my dad ever processed any emotion #taking it back to my dad he wants to introduce us on the 16th which funny thing is the day my mom is getting married to her partner #and im still not sure if my dad knows #marriage that makes me sicker the closer it gets cause the guy is a walking red flag and lately i haven’t seen my mom that much #cause i can’t stand him and how she is when he’s around #which he always. is. #oh and his daughter who hasn’t talked to him in years and truly i get it sis will be here but everyone knows #it’s to ask him for the money he doesn’t have again #so im torn but also i up she makes a fuss and everything gets cancel so i don’t have to talk to my mom about how she’s doing exactly #what she promised to never fall for again after finally ditching my dad #and like at least my mom’s side is out of the equation as there’s probably still a murderer on the loose looking for her sicko sister #who herself threatened my mom several times cause my mom dared calling her out on abandoning her disabled daughter to live #with their parents for twenty years and still now with them nearing 80 being sick and broke cause they never made it official and she’s #still the one getting money support lmaooo #oh how could i forget im also staying at my dads cause my big sister moved back with my mom and took my room #following her breakup with her bf of 4 years when she caught him cheating with a 16 years old #oh and now some of my best friends are still deliberating wether they ever wanna talk to me again #this could be fine if i could cry **** *** and dissociate but i no longer have my own room :) being so so brave rn :)

[sweet-as-kiwis]

I’ve come to the conclusion no one should dorm with someone whose name ends in ‘ace’

#like okay #my roommate is named ace and they been absolutely Horrific for the past TWO YEARS #they’re getting ghosted the second I move out on Friday (unfortunately they’re staying here all week so I have to Actually deal with them) #but there’s. too much to unpack there for the tags #my bestie is rooming with a Grace and she’s also soft blocking her as soon as she moves out #cause apparently Grace comes back to the dorm at godawful hours of the night WITH OTHERS and ends up waking my friend up every time #additionally she talks shit about my friend like 24/7 for like. her fashion taste? and the fact she tells thing like she sees it? #like one of the things is Grace is pissed that my friend told her ‘hey getting blackout drunk every night ain’t good maybe. stop’ #AND my little sister was rooming with a DIFFERENT Grace #and she was bad enough my little sister had to MOVE OUT HALFWAY THROUGH HER FIRST SEMESTER #Again a little too much to unpack there for tags but. use your imagination ig #and all three of them break almost Every dorm rule but none of us can report them for it #cause like. the rule for if alcohol is found in your dorm is EVERYONE goes down for it #and in my sister and I’d cases our roommates started smoking in the room (Ace was weed Grace was vape) #but my sister and I are both. super sensitive to that stuff? #like for me smoke and the smell of that is a migraine trigger that will end with me in the er #and ace knew this. and still smoked ON MY COUCH. AND THEN LIED TO MY FACE ABOUT IT. AND DID IT REPEATEDLY. #they didn’t even wash anything on the couch to get the smell out but considering they fucked on the blankets on it and then just. left them #for me to deal with I’m not suprised. at all #meanwhile my sister has really bad asthma and can’t have people vape around her or she starts having an asthma attack #but the rules in our dorms for that are the same as alcohol and neither of us wanna risk going down for it #my sister lucked out on having others she could move in with but all of my friends had roommates that weren’t going anywhere #so I’ve been stuck with ace the whole time #but still!! #anyways I’m sure most -ace names are lovely people but it’s an interesting trend I’ve noticed #Friday cannot come soon enough I stg
