#we’re family people

[cecilianotthesaint]

So my mom, went to a metaphysical fair with one of her best friends yesterday and apparently had a lovely time

For context, she does not know that I’m a “witch” (or whatever term I’m currently using) but does know I’m “spiritual” or whatever. She is Christian at her base and continues to be, but she has always been interested in the metaphysical outside of that and over the years has leaned into that more and more. But she’s been talking to/reading about psychics pretty much as long as I can remember

But anyway while she was at the fair she got a “spirit drawing” done. For those unfamiliar with the concept, the artist is a woman who sees spirits around people and draws them pretty much in the moment

I’m not going to share the drawing because it’s a fair bit more personal than just telling the story, but my mom thought it sort of looked like some of the men on her mother’s side of the family, and I do enough ancestor work and genealogy research that even though I’ve never actually met any of those men, I can recognize the family’s general appearance too. It did look like her mother’s family to me, so I went through some records and stuff and found a couple pictures of some of them. He wasn’t an exact match to any of them, although the general feature were similar, but the drawing has a very specific little smile, and I found a photo of my great uncle and he’s smiling in a way that we (my mom & I, plus my dad for a less biased opinion) all agree looks pretty much identical to the drawing

I don’t know that I’ve ever interacted with him directly in my ancestor/spirit work (though of course in the genealogy I’ve spent some time with him) but that side of the family is one that I’ve always connected to pretty easily. Would not shock me at all if any number of them were to stick around my mom

Anyway, idk, I know this isn’t the most exciting story but it was really cool and interesting to me

#the drawing overall looked more like some others in that family #specifically my great grandfather #but I could only track down one photo of him so far and he’s not smiling at all in it #it could be someone else entirely too #who knows #but definitely it was something she resonated with and happy for her #and it makes me feel good in general #what can I say #we’re family people #ancestor work #personal beliefs #words #lia rambles #anyway idk it was a fun/interesting thing that happened today

idk but saying tyler being a manipulative serial killer means he can’t be with wednesday is genuinely so funny to me like baby this is the addams family we’re talking about. being a manipulative serial killer should put him at the top of the viable choices for wednesday list.

#she literally calls him her type so idk where y’all are getting the whole ‘she never liked him’ thing from 💀 #‘he’s too toxic for her’ she once said having attempted murder on her record would be terrible bc everyone would know she failed to get the #job done. like what do you MEAN. toxicity is like the one thing her family adores #you don’t have to ship them all i’m saying is ‘he’s toxic :(‘ is a terrible reason when we’re talking abt fuckin wednesday addams #babygirl has done terrible things like. this is the one family that values toxic serial killing people wym 😭 #if you’re looking for happy fluffy healthy pure relationships this is not the family for you #not looking to argue so if u do i’m just gonna ignore it #wednesday addams #tyler galpin #wednesday x tyler #weyler #wednesday #wednesday tag #guys please stop replying or rb with different reasons why they can’t date we’re not talking abt them

Saw someone compare password sharing to buying a clothing item and expecting everyone in their family to get the same item for free and it’s like…no. It’s like me buying a shirt and letting my sister wear the shirt when I’m not wearing it. And then being told that I am not allowed to let my sister wear the shirt anymore because she doesn’t live with me. But continue making dumb arguments on the internet, bootlicker

#netflix #like she already pays extra so two people can use the account at the same time #if one person isn’t watching there is no reason someone else shouldn’t be allowed to watch #no matter where they physically are #It’s not like we’re sharing with the entire neighborhood #the immediate family is sharing it #just like we did before my sister moved out #now she’s going to go from paying for a service five people shared to being the only one using it #and my parents are going to have to dish out more money than they did before #to use a service they has already been able to use before without the extra money #just admit that netflix is money hungry and shit and we should all drop their asses

what if instead of “what if jason came back to life and was normal” we started contemplating “what if jason came back to life and all his grievances were accurately addressed and validated”

I’m sick of people making it out to be that jason’s circumstances only came about due to his time with talia when its not true!! its not true and its doing a disservice to jason as a character and all of the in universe victims that went through the same trauma as him

you surely couldn’t expect him to be happy that the joker, his murderer, was still alive? not even securely jailed! no, this man comes back out routinely to do the same thing that happened to jason to others.

you surely couldn’t expect him to be happy that someone else was in the role that delivered him his death sentence? surely bruce is able to be a grown adult who didn’t need to rely on children as crutches so he could fight the fight he chose to be in! you surely couldn’t tell me that the way gotham is operating right now actually works! surely not! there’s no reason for jason to be angry as if his memory and legacy wasn’t desecrated and used as a lesson by his own father the moment they buried him 6ft under. SURELY he couldn’t still be angry that it took him dying for people to realize they treated him so fucking poorly

what if jason was allowed to be selfish? what if jason was allowed to not forgive someone, or just, anyone?

but no, no you’re right. its talia and her weird magic anger inducing green pit of nasty water

#jason todd #dcu #red hood #dc #I hate HATE it when people frame that sort of au as jason being ‘normal’ #thank god jasons not crazy anymore everyone! now we can freely skate by without dealing with any consequences to our actions #la la la we’re all just one big happy family now

Don’t get me wrong I don’t give a flying shit about the royal family (royal parasites) and a lot of non British people would be surprised to know that majority of people here in the UK don’t actually care about them or even know why they still exist, but now that it’s been revealed that Kate Middleton hasn’t been around due to a cancer diagnosis..something she was forced to tell the public thanks to people and the media literally bullying her non stop. I really hope people fuck off and leave her alone? Maybe take a break from making brain dead memes?

#I wouldn’t wish that on anyone #like I’m serious people have been constantly harassing her in the media #it’s 2024 and we’re still treating women like fucking shit how lovely #Kate Middleton #Royal Family

Can I be honest with everyone a second? I honestly think that every instance used to justify calling Dick Grayson the “angry robin” is him being justifiably mad at something that would make anyone who was put in the situation mad.

#like people really be like “oh look nightwing got angry and killed the guy that murdered his brother. paralyzed his ex. and made him think #that he murdered and tortured his other brother. also the guy who’s been torturing and playing with him and his father figure for over a #decade and has killed countless people. but nightwing killed him out of anger he must have anger issues.’’ #like wtf?? #you read all of that and instead of reading someone finally killing someone who’s put him and his family and the WHOLE WORLD through such #misery and abuse and grief for literal laughs #you read someone with anger isssues killing a bad guy cuz he got mad #also while we’re on the topic of this whole thing #Bruce revived joker FOR Dick. Bruce probably wanted to let that motherfucker die more than anything but he didn’t want joker’s death on #Nightwing’s conscious. he saved the person he wanted dead most for his son. #dc comics #comics #batfam #robin #batman #nightwing #dick grayson

I think why Endhawks is so cathartic for me is that you have two people who have been through a bunch of trauma and made fucked up choices because of it and are both terrified that deep down that they aren’t worthy of love, that they’ll end up alone, that they are inherently bad.

And they are trying, trying so hard to change, to be good, to be lovable.

And they accept each other so easily. Like yes I see you. I see you trying so hard. You’re not hard to love at all. You are a good person at heart and that’s why you try so hard. I won’t flinch away at the hard, sharp edges of you because mine fit together with yours.

And it hits me right in my trauma core.

I just love them. Anyway…

#endhawks #mini rant of the day #hawks x endeavor #endeavor x hawks #it’s rotten work #not to me #Enji terrified of losing people because he believes that he is not strong enough to protect anyone #and Hawks who believes that he is only lovable when he is useful and charming and putting up a mask #ahhhhhh #and why I love Enji’s arc where he’s like this is it #it’s all stripped away I’m weak and terrible #and his family is like shut up you fucked up but we’re still here to support you #and Hawks who never wavers in his support #Horikoshi just stabbing me with emotions

Another day, another reminder that it was SJM and Bloomsbury themselves that confirmed Elain is an introvert:

Please, can we move on from this argument now?

#I’m seriously tired of this argument and the weird way people pin it on Elriels like we’re crazy for saying she’s introverted #it doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy social gathering and being talkative at times or like being around friends and family #introverted does not mean anti social #I’m an introvert myself and can only recharge my energy alone and in quiet spaces but I LOVE parties and gathering and hosting friends #I am LOUD and talkative with people I’m comfortable with #I am polite and converse at social gatherings and enjoy it #being an introvert does not mean I am sulking in a corner alone 24/7 not talking to anyone #elain archeron #pro elain archeron #acotar #a court of thorns and roses

I’m tempted to bring back my fav nickname for current ‘king’ who was the center of attention of the uk media circus this morning: Tampon Charlie

#man fuck the coronation #fuck all this money being spent on useless shit #And fuck people who won’t let protesters protest #it’s their right in a democracy??? #or are we finally agreeing to forget that we’re living in a democracy now #uk politics #british royal family #coronation

Short DPXDC Prompts #175

The Bats witness Danny getting summoned. When they are alone Danny asks where he is. He perks up with the response “Gotham, New Jersey.”

The Bats listen to Danny’s request hands him a burner phone to call someone he knows in the area to come and get him. Much to the bats surprise, Danny calls a very familiar number and says “Hey Uncle Gordon! Can I crash at your place tonight? I got summoned again.”

#dp x dc #danny phantom #dc comics #writing prompts #dp x dc prompt #Batfamily #Uncle Jim Gordon let’s make it a thing because aaaaaa #only issue is that we’re potentionally making the Wayne family tree a fuckin circle with this if people ship Danny and a batfam member #eh who knows I just think it’s a cool idea ^-^ #bones prompts

Sudden thought, I wonder if Erik is actually not aware of Charles’ limitations. Erik meets Charles as the latter jumps into the ocean to save him. Charles is calm all through out. Seemingly not afraid to sacrifice OR knows he will not need to sacrifice anything to meet Erik down below.

Charles tells Erik he knows everything about him. To some extent maybe, but not really. Charles gets the gist of people around him. Goes in enough to know who’s a threat, who can be trusted, but he asks Erik’s permission in finding that sweet memory of Erik and his mom. Charles didn’t know about it beforehand.

Erik didn’t even think Charles would feel Shaw’s death, nor the people on the boats. He assumes Charles has the option to not feel it, presumably. Or doesn’t know how bad it could be.

Erik leaves Charles on the beach before Charles learns he can’t feel his legs, he doesn’t see Charles’ breakdown and Charles keeps himself together admirably beforehand. Reigning in what must be extreme amounts of pain.

When Erik sees Charles again, Erik presumes that Charles could and would use his powers on Erik, stop him whenever he wants, because they’re enemies now. When he realizes Charles can’t do that, it is still unfathomable to him. And on the plane it all suddenly makes sense. Charles valued his ability to walk more than his powers, Charles chose to remove his powers. Charles abandoned them all to pretend at being normal.

Not for a second does Erik believe Charles is anything but all put together, all knowing. Presumably naive, Erik knows better how cruel the world is. Has experienced real hardship while Charles, as much as Erik loves him, lived a pampered one. It makes sense to Erik that Charles would pick being human.

Not once does Erik think Charles may have been abused by a step father and a step brother. Suffered an alcoholic mother who possibly drank herself to death long before 1962. Charles simply doesn’t say anything and quite honestly prefers to move on from them, because they don’t matter. Raven and Erik matter tho. His little team of mutants mattered, and every single one he’s met at first year of school and through cerebro matter.

Charles is strong enough to help the mutants in need, guide them, and if he were just willing to see Erik’s point of view, fight the good fight against the humans. Because Charles doesn’t make mistakes, Charles doesn’t have failures, but he fails the rest of them.

Charles, unfortunately, isn’t seen as a fallible person to even Erik. More akin to a god, that Erik needs to protect his mind from, because otherwise, his god will exact judgment and punishment. Take his free will away from him because Erik has disobeyed him. To Erik, while Charles and him are equals, both god figures in their own right, with his helmet he levels out a playing field Charles doesn’t even see.

Of course, this is not unlike everyone else in Charles’ life, though where Erik sees a godly figure, everyone else sees Charles as a parent figure, placing him on a similar high pedestal. Seemingly everyone will tend to ignore Charles’ possible emotional instability or fallibility, the way a child might expect their parent to be all knowing. Charles’ wrongs become grander because surely he knows better. So why did Charles’ let this, whatever this is, happen?

#X-men #cherik #X-men first class #x men: days of future past #x men apocalypse #xmen dark phoenix #charles xavier #erik lensherr #basically everyone is up their own ass when it comes to Charles #like damn hoes - mutant and proud my ass #only convenient when it’s not a scary telepath huh? #also insane cause like Charles has only ever skimmed people’s thoughts #though granted - he has frozen people and easily incapacitates enemies #I’m not gonna think too hard about how Charles could have stopped like all the hellfire club except for Shaw #lmao it’s honestly hard to write things for all powerful characters #maybe he couldn’t control that many people tho? #and Shaw was for sure hard to keep frozen #so there’s lots of limitations we’re not privy to either #anyway - Charles got screwed with some stank ass family and friends #like these hoes are so self absorbed omg #can’t convince Charles isn’t a fuckin saint #(I DO NOT SEE YOU DARK PHOENIX YOU ARE LITERALLY THE WORST)

You know what? I’m honestly surprised there isn’t (as far as I’m aware of) a ROTTMNT 2012 crossover that takes place immediately after the Rise Boys just after defeating the Shredder and losing their Karai and through some accident one way or another they end up in the 2012 TMNT universe

But here’s the kicker: instead of usually running into the 2012 TMNT or their Kraang they run into Karai and her foot soldiers (somewhere after she takes lead of the foot clan) and being the morally-grey and fresh-out-of-losing-their-Karai trauma turtles they are they immediately attach onto her like children lost in a store

Look where I’m getting at is I just want morally-grey rise turtles hanging out with 2012 Karai and just having some not-so-innocent fun, you know? Like I feel like the fandom should make more Rise Turtles and 2012 Karai content, it would be great

#I have a feeling Rise Leo and 2012 Karai would enjoy making fun of 2012 Leo together #like okay yeah angst and everything when they realize she’s evil and all that but also #the boys: we can fix her #also the boys: after we’re done bullying these mutant losers that work for her #just guys c’mon #like it would be fun cmon #I’d like to imagine she and rise donnie get into roasting matches #she brings Mikey to the best places for him in New York for him just to go apeshit and graffiti stuff #and maybe set the occasional thing on fire #(the purple dragons lair coinceidentally a sewer drain close by the 12 turtles lair just the places of people she doesn’t like) #I think she and Raph would have genuinely good heart-to-heart moments AND give him a proper outlet for all his emotions #and as stated before she and Rise Leo would have WAY too much fun roasting the 12 turtles #(also remember that offer of stealing a katana she gave to 12 Leo in that one episode? Rise Leo would ABSOLUTELY take her up on that) #THAT PLACE IS GETTING ROBBED #like yeah eventually they redeem her through the power of the found family trope #but also— #crime turtles #rottmnt #rise tmnt #tmnt crossover #2012 tmnt #2012 karai #like obviously they all turn good in the end and shit BUT CRIME #sorry I’m obsessed with this idea now #I’m gonna go try to find fics where she and the rise turtles bond now goodbye #and then they see her turn into a snake and they’re like #AYO POP OFF QUEEN #while she’s viciously tearing apart her enemies #and then they see Shinigami and they’re like ‘Ayo guys we got another lesbian sister’ #like I just think we deserve them as a group you know

looks like our family isn’t gonna be together for new years either.
