#Everything's Relative

[sunnylighter]

when it comes to a Same Difference sequel. Does it make sense that I think that you're planning on compressing "The Weird World of Wrym" and "The Outlaw Armaggon" into one chapter?

I actually have a lot of my Same Difference sequel planned out, or, at least, the space arc of it. What happens after that still needs some work. It's going to be called "Everything's Relative", a suggestion by a commenter on Fanfic that I really liked. I even wrote two chapters for it, because I suddenly had a very clear vision of how I wanted to cover Raph and Mona Lisa's relationship in it since that was something I'd been debating in the interim, as well as a new bonus chapter for Same Difference to announce when I'm ready to start posting it.

As for 'The Weird World of Wrym', I decided to skip that episode entirely with only a couple of Deja Vu jokes thrown in to show some version of it did happen, and 'The Outlaw Armaggon' will remain its own chapter but with the addition of Metalhead getting possessed by Overmind too, and Miwa's major fear of being controlled thrown in the mix.

anyone else have multiple traumatic memories associated specifically with holidays/family vacations? because that is a topic I never see discussed in all the So You Had A Shitty Childhood, Now What? self-help books i've been reading. but for me, it was a significant thing. and the more i think about it the more it seems like this would be an (unfortunately) common experience. would be grateful to hear if this matches other peoples' experiences...

#not a shitpost #serious post #ask to tag #tw trauma #cptsd #c-ptsd #and if so we should TALK about it #because it means there are a whole group of survivors out there whose mental health regularly worsens during holidays #like i know i am most certainly not the only person who feels an undefined Dread hanging over christmas/my birthday/july 4 etc #bc too many shitty things happened during those times and now my brain is hypervigilant bc traditionally these are the Danger Times #and this seems like it would be particularly common for survivors of abusive/dysfunctional households (aka most people with c-ptsd) #because holidays/vacations typically mean 1) the whole family is together/being forced to interact #2) and undergoing external stressors e.g. travel/relatives aka 'outsiders' visiting/routines & coping mechanisms being interrupted etc #3) there is social pressure for this to be a Fun Family Bonding Experience which only highlights the cracks in the foundation #and exposes the common Everything Is Fine/We Are A Happy Family lie #4) the cognitive dissonance of feeling tired/anxious/stressed/afraid during a time when you are 'supposed' to be Making Good Memories #and then everyone is angry/tired/anxious/triggered and things boil over and something or someone goes Very Wrong #weird that i'm posting this in october when halloween is...sort of the ONLY holiday i have only good and happy feelings towards #i got lucky there #also i have positive feelings towards Labor Day but that's for socialist reasons

does aftg count as a slow burn if we didn't even know there was a spark until the last book

#and tbh after that was established everything went relatively quickly #raise your hand if you had to google if the books contain romance halfway through reading #raise if your hand if you had to google who the main ship even is immediately after #🙋‍♀️ #yknow that one post that said aftg is only a slow burn the second time you read it #yeah #aftg #andreil #the foxhole court #all for the game #tfc #nora sakavic #andrew minyard #neil josten

Thinking about Rory Williams. What a character.

The completely ordinary man who doesn't become extraordinary, but is already extraordinary.

The coma nurse who can watch over patients becomes a guardian who watches over the love of his life for two-thousand years.

A man being faithful to one woman makes him one of the greatest heroes in history.

Being good, kind, honorable and faithful is a higher kind of virtue than the Doctor's flashy cleverness.

He didn't need to become a hero. He was a hero and got to prove it when put in extraordinary circumstances.

Just a fantastic character.

#doctor who #rory williams #i saw a gifset that sparked rtd vs moffat thoughts #and no one wants that dead horse beat again #so i focused on the rory part of the thoughts #because for all their relative flaws and virtues and similarities as writers #the reason that i prefer moffat comes down to 'rtd would never have written rory williams' #everything about that character is the antithesis of rtd's worldview and is the core of what i love best about moffat's

Obsessed with how pathetic you make Jim Guangyao look. The hat. I love it.

Don't let the smile and sweet words fool you, Jim Guangyao has lost everything in the divorce, and continues to lose.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #jin guangyao #mdzs au #modern au #this takes place in the same universe as Alan Zhan btw #I have been waiting for the day I got to meet him....Jim Guangyao..... #I think he won at least one divorce. But also did so under suspicious conditions. #you can 'win' divorce is your ex is dead right? #I like to think he wasn't even in the will and all the money and property went to another relative. #Who did he divorce? That's up to reader interpretation #Jim Guangyao is the busy dad who's never around except on the very rare occasional holiday. He cannot relate to his children #Nobody has ever seen him without his hat. In highschool it was a trilby. He's got baseball cap on in this drawing (I tried). #for casual friday. #He would burn everything at the grill. Half-bad luck and half distracted by work calls #Jim has nothing and no one. Despite this he always seems to land another hot spouse within a few months. #(Its his dimples. They are mesmerizing. You will look at them and sign this will without second thought <3)

Today I learned that the Pope has the right to appoint secret cardinals, and even the cardinals themselves may not realize that they now have a new position. Popes have the right to make the name public at any time, but if the Pope dies before the Cardinal's name is made public, the individual ceases to be a Cardinal.

Yes, Catholicism is weird.

But more importantly, there is only one person in the world who can prove that I am not a cardinal.

.

#I've heard of those #stuff is complicated as is and the rules and canon have varied a lot throughout history #don't quote me on this but I believe in order to be eligible to become a cardinal these days you have to be an unmarried catholic man #between the ages of 30 and 75 #and an ordained priest at minimum even though in practice all cardinals are bishops or archbishops #but I also think the pope as the sovereign leader has the power to appoint anyone at least in theory #and historically the requirements have been a lot looser popes would create cardinals pretty haphazardly #nepotism was exceedingly common every pope would want to surround himself with relatives friends and allies #at least a few popes allegedly made their lovers into (largely incompetent) cardinals back in the day #answered #anonymous #not that I know anything but everything I've read about the renaissance holy see has immense chaotic energy

Snopes.com was THE fact-checking / lie-debunking website in the 2000s, covering everything from lighthearted fare like "is this a picture of Bigfoot?" to rumors about Iraq War, which at the time often spread via chain emails or Dick Cheney.

Well, Snopes still exists and I encourage you to check it out. They will investigate until they find the primary source of a photo, a quote, an article. This is especially important in a world where AI is increasingly able to fool the human eye and human ear.

In case you were wondering, the status of the photos / articles I clipped for this post are:

Israel making a deal with BetterHelp - Real, and the company was founded by an IDF soldier who proudly brags about this fact in his online profile. Also they have previously been caught selling private medical information.

IDF soldier threatening a woman with children - Real picture but not from current conflict

Are Palestinians forbidden from collecting rainwater? Yes, and the situation is even more dire than the headline makes it sound. Really recommend this article for a deeper understanding of the discrimination the Palestinians suffered even prior to the current conflict.

Did Israel use white phosphorus on Gaza? The evidence strongly points to yes. This article is VERY good, very well-researched.

#snopes #Gaza #free Palestine #fact checking #no human is truly unbiased #but Snopes has always been dedicated to the truth over everything else #btw I vaguely remember Snopes getting into a kerfuffle over plagiarism #of course I don't like plagiarism but the good Snopes has done FAR outweighs any harm they've done #during the 2000s your dumbest relatives were sure to be sending you stupid untrue (and often racist) chain letters constantly #and it was a GODSEND to be able to say 'that's not true' and send them to Snopes #which they would often get mad about btw #like someone had forced them to spread rumors without fact-checking them #anyway I hope this information helps a whole new generation combat ignorance

i love causing discourse so i want EVERYONE who sees this to comment which bsd character has the best character design and WHY. i want to see some analysis in the tags or simply why u think ur blorbo is on top in terms of fashion taste

#DO IT. NOW. #i will go first #verlaine bc he is meant to resemble 22chuuya but retains a relatively lighter créme color palette in contrast to chuuyas black mafia attire #which is deeply intriguing bc we know verlaine is one of stormbringer's main villains #to be portrayed in lighter colors--typically characteristic of the “good side” or divinity--while being the villain is interesting #this is reminiscent of verlaine's character and perspective towards chuuya #he believes he is an angel. a savior. offering grace towards chuuya by making him accept that he isn't human #when in reality he stands for everything chuuya does NOT want to become. alienated from his humanity and hateful towards humans #ANYWAY on a surface level it also represents him serving as chuuya's narrative foil. black and white. yin and yang #“in kindness there's evil” chuuya and “in evil there is kindness” verlaine #and they balance each other out that way #ANYWAY OMOMOMG LOTUS SHUT UP ABT STORMBRINGER CHALLENGE HAHAHAHAHAH ANYWAY #let's hear it guys #bsd

I feel like people aren't getting it. In. The. Books. Perseus. Jackson. Is. An. Unreliable. Narrator. This goes for everything he thinks. Percy loves his mother, so he writes her praises. In the show we get to see what Sally does from an outside POV not filtered through a child that idolizes his mother. It's not ooc for Sally to act like she does in the show. she's a single mother raising a neurodivergent, Demigod, and she's scared that when the Gods get to him they'll corrupt him. She's not suddenly a girl boss we're getting to see her for how she is.

#percy jackson #sally jackson #“sHe sToOd uP tO gABe sHe wOuLdnT dO tHat' she did it because percy needed to get to montock so she could tell him about how hes a demigod #sally as a character will do anything for her son. gabe being abusive doesnt negate what she needs to. do for her son. in in the book the #second gabe was no longer needed she turned him into a statue and sold him to to the highest bidder. she was putting up with the abuse for #percys sake. and this is then woman that grebbed a gun and started fighting in the battle of Manhattan. shes not weak. you can be two things #she can be motherly and strong. and obviously she has her douts. she thinks shes failing. she called posiden when it was too much and he #reassured her she was doing her best and she needs to do what she thinks is best. and we are only seeing some scenes #we're seeing whats relevant to the plot and whats relative is sally preparing Percy. and she obviously cares for her son and her son for her #she has to be a good mother cus percy is literally going to the underworld to save her. just stfu about the book #ive read the books to but some of you are awful. like no adaptation is to the letter. somethings had to be cut or glossed over and some are #changed because money or that a book is a different medium then a show or movie! you cant do everything cus its impossible. #were in a completely different pov. we're not in Percys head seeing his thoughts. #pjo series #pjo #pjo tv show #percy jackson and the olympians #percy series #batcavescoloy watches the PJO tv show #batcavescolony watches

[aroaceleovaldez]

non-exhaustive list of canon powers Nico di Angelo either has shown or is heavily implied to have:

Shadow-travel

Manipulation of shadows/darkness (also possibly use of shadows as a pocket-dimension a la Magicians using the Duat in The Kane Chronicles)

Becoming intangible/shadows

Complete control over skeletons/bones (dead or alive, including summoning, reanimation, and/or changing shape of them) and being able to sense their presence

Summoning, reanimating, commanding, and dispelling the dead/undead (Skeletons, zombies, ghosts, etc & varieties) and being able to sense their presence

Ability to understand/communicate with the dead/undead and potentially other beings of the Underworld

Inherent complete comprehension of Latin

Ability to perceive the usually unperceivable/possibly look upon a deity’s true form without repercussion (at least moreso than the average demigod, though possibly is restricted to chthonic beings) (ex: Tartarus, potentially also interacting with his parents, etc)

Interacting tangibly with ghosts (implied to be a Ghost King thing rather than a Hades/Pluto thing)

Partial or complete immunity to different effects of the Underworld/things within (can consume food/drink of or in the Underworld without repercussions, effects from the Lethe wear off over time instead of being permanent like usual for mortals, etc)

Astral projection/”Walking in dreams”

Dream manipulation and projection (Sending dreams to others, etc.) (presumably includes sharing/projecting dreams with others) alongside inflicting sleep upon others even from a distance.

Illusions

Manipulation of emotions/aura that inflicts specific emotions on others (ex.: radiating fear/death onto enemies)

Projection of emotions and memories onto others (can be so forceful it causes physical damage like a shockwave)

Geokinesis (all forms but also specifically generating black marble) (presumably also specialized control over precious gemstones & non-paper currency)

Temperature manipulation (seemingly only lowering temperature)/creating frost)

Control/manipulation of souls, including living beings (ex: ripping out Bryce Lawrence’s soul)

Perceiving/reading/judging of souls (most likely also a Ghost King thing over Hades/Pluto thing, but possibly both)

Converting living into dead/undead, aka instakill (ex: disintegrating monsters to bone with one touch)

Lowering or manipulation of own vitals (breathing, heart rate, etc)

Death Trance/pseudo-hibernation (possibly also general control over states of consciousness at least for self, in combo with control over vitals & dreams)

Sensing death (impending or when it occurs, sometimes receiving dreams/visions of it occurring)

Able to sense other children of Hades/Pluto (potentially also other chthonic beings in general/able to identify based on sense alone) and also just living beings in general, such as mortals (possibly via souls).

Improved navigation underground/in the Underworld and ability to traverse restricted or normally unnavigable parts of the Underworld

Enhanced strength/abilities when in the Underworld

Inherently unnaturally quiet (possibly able to silence sound on a designated target)

Hiding/shielding self from being perceived (seemingly related to shadows/silence)

#pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #long post // #MY BOY IS OP AS FUCK and i love this about him #so many of these are so underutilized #when will Nico get to use his geokinesis again #we only see him make marble once in BoTL and then never again #based on that he should theoretically be able to do everything Hazel can do. which also implies Hazel can do everything he can do #let Hazel summon a skeleton for once and Nico hits somebody with a rock cmon #also i still firmly believe Nico should get to turn invisible #we've seen him become intangible. his dad's notable item is a helm that makes you invisible. let him turn invisible. #but yeah big 3 kids are op. look at nico go. and this is just physical abilities not including stuff like Annabeth being smart #or cabin 7 kids being good at music or whatever #presumably for Nico/Hazel it'd be like a penchant for diplomacy and legality-related things presumably #and i like to hc he has a personal inherent knowledge bank of everyone who has ever died in his lifetime - just details about their deaths #mostly anyways and then like basic facts about who they were/next of kin/etc #so they can tap into that at any time and be like ''hold on lemme look this person/their relatives up real quick'' #i usually like to write that as how Nico confirmed what was up with Jason when they first met #he just kind of squinted at Jason and went ''okay. hm. who are you next of kin of? Beryl - OH YOU'RE THALIA'S BROTHER''

i was thinking about this line from my fic:

But the fall had hurt, too. Because the wind had cut into his useless wings like knives, his skin and grace peeling away under the friction, and he had been looking right up at the multicoloured and unreachable expanse of sky just to see it fade from his eyes into dull greys.

and i came up with this. i hope the vision came through

#fearandhatred #fearandpoetry #<- check out this tag for some relatively more normal poetry #this was written at 3 am once again #i am really just out here doing anything #don't think this needs much explanation but i shall yap anyway #this is just crowley through the ages but as he discovers more about the earth he also finds more things he can compare hurt to #because in the beginning all he could compare the wind cutting into him with was the wind itself #and also abandonment. because imo that is one of the first Big Negative Emotions he ever felt besides his dreams being crushed lmaoo #but i think it's fun how this poem also implies that he's constantly thinking about how the fall hurt and how everything reminds him of it #this was also very tedious for the perfectionist in me and the proportions are STILL off #because i only drafted out the wings lmao i was not planning on including the head #then i was like wait what if people don't realise that it's wings #so that happened #and changing the proportions means changing the structure which i do not want to do #good omens #good omens season 2 #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #crowley #aziraphale #good omens poetry #good omens fanart #yeah tagging this as fanart because i had to draw everything out first lmao #poetry #writing

On the night of January 5-6, the Russians shelled Pokrovsk, Donetsk region, with S-300 missiles, killing 11 people, including 5 children. Also, 8 people were injured, residential houses were destroyed.

#i had relatives in pokrovsk who thankfully left the city and are now refugees in the uk #it all hurts so much russia is destroying everything #pokrovsk #ukraine #russia is a terrorist state #russian war crimes #war in ukraine
