“what’s stopping me?” (pap)

what’s holding up your manifestations from coming to fruition?

it’s a common question i got throughout the intuition readings. and i remember asking myself the same thing. one thing i want to preface with is nothings stopping you. the 3D is just lagging. it’s usually just how you feel that’s wondering what’s stopping you!

but in this pick a picture, we will be diving into what’s stopping your manifestations, and how to get over them in order to receive everything you want and more!

please note the phrases/alt text for each pile will have little to nothing to do with the pile you choose. do not let it affect your decision.

disclaimer, this pick a pile is not legal advice or anything like that. you can take everything with a grain of salt, because not every fact will apply to you. do not take my words as final say, as anything can change.

inhale, exhale, and let your intuition flow. now click 'keep reading' and select an image from down below. (be sure to look at the image description !!)

Pile I — Flower Body

hello pile 1!! i hope ur doing well :) im wishing u the best!

whats holding you back is the material and ONLY focusing on it. nile heard “sitting on your laurels/hands.”

youre allowing urself to sink into the quicksand and not doing anything to fight it… when there’s a branch right in front of you to grab onto…?

like… why just sit there and do nothing when there’s something you can do? you may be stuck in your own mind, honestly. just breaking yourself down, over and over again — only allowing yourself to believe what is in front of you. you don’t trust the whimsy, you don’t trust the signs. your motto is “if i don’t see it, it isn’t real.”

im going to break the news to you, pile one, if you keep this mindset nothing is going to come to you instantly. and i hope that motivated you to stand up and do SOMETHING, because doing nothing isn’t helping.

your advice from spirit is connect with your emotions to better yourself. don’t allow this depression to gain the best of you. another thing is allow your imagination to flow — even if you don’t see it right now.

sociopath by stay loose and bryce fox came on.

i feel like you’re like “it hasn’t worked in the past, it isn’t working now, so it can’t work in the future.” which is NOT true at all. let the vast be the past, do what you can in the present to shape your future. don’t look in the rear view mirror when driving. don’t let someone else grab the wheel when you’re driving — this is YOUR car. YOUR journey. do it, and don’t let the 3D, your thoughts or ur doubts get in the way of it. run them over.

that’s all pile 1, please take care of urself and don’t listen to the voices telling you to give up — i promise it will get easier.

extra signs/confirmation : “drive. DRIVE DRIVE!”, “they’re in the past”, someone who shuts down when things get hard, scorpio, “loser/loner”, may have been bullied/put down before, not moving because you’re scared of the chain reaction, not understanding that the past is done, “quit looking at the material. it ain’t shit, bitch.”, “don’t trust everything you see!”, shifttok, complicated methods, potential, sitting on your ass, taking the punches, allowing yourself to be destroyed, crying.

Pile II — See No Evil

hii pile 2!! i hope you’re doing well!! wishing u the best :p

for your energy, we pulled 10 of swords — which isn’t that great of a start — but at least it gives us some information. you’re someone who feels burnt out, tired, stressed and neglected. nile got a similar energy, saying she “felt a self-relinquished energy. Feeling small weak, diminished, low-power, half-effort smiling. They know things are less than okay. Telling themselves/pretending to appear to others that they're not as shaken about things being stale and scarce as they are actually feeling inside.”

you’re not reflecting your true self, which is really self-demeaning. you’re limiting yourself by hiding yourself. and maybe you’re being forced into a box — and i am being too!! find a way to cut a small hole out the box and get the fuck out without anyone noticing. find yourself, even if you just need to sit there and breathe for a while. sometimes that’s all you need to do — find one thing you love.

whats holding you back seems to be obsession, and we pulled queen of pentacles combined with 3 of swords. that’s insane.. maybe obsession of a past love?

get off their social media, block them, they don’t matter! they are not ur partner anymore. if ur friends, our distance between you two. not separate yourself fully, just take a step back. don’t let them be a huge part of ur life, they aren’t anymore. i feel like this is the reason you shut down, the reason you’re repressing yourself now. maybe they were ur out, your sense of joy.

i remember a quote i saw a long time ago, “to have a healthy relationship, there must be self love and love of the other person (or people) involved.” you wed to distance yourself and find some love for urself before u do anything else.

to get other this, you need to be angry in a way. you need to finally stand up and walk out. this isn’t serving you anymore. you need to stop. don’t let this control you. stop letting it control you. i keep hearing “get out, get out, get out.” which is scary. you’re not trapped, pile 2. you can get out. just stand up and walk out — or i’d TRULY that simple.

i love you pile 2, please work for urself and not other people.

extra signs/confirmation: “the final straw”, finally stepping out the box, red, repetition, affirming, false belief, not standing up for yourself, vomiting, crying a LOT, keeping things to yourself, looking outwardly, not confirming with yourself, needing to take a leap of faith, 999, “hopeless and helpless”, “BULLSHIT!”, “gone”.

Pile III — Black Mirror

hellooo pile 3!!! how are you??!! i hope ur well!!

your energy feels “convoluted yet diluted.” there’s so much going on, but somehow it’s so watered down and so deep down. like you can’t find yourself, because the there’s so much going on around you. it’s like you’re just caught in a tornado — being mixed in with all the mess.

im so sorry pile 3. i really hope it gets better, but let’s get onto the reading. what’s limiting you is the way you’re overworking yourself. and honestly, the solution is to work through it. keep going pushing, keep working, and don’t stop.

this is something that you are going to have to power through. the song that came on is paralyzed by nf. i’m going to link it

it’s such a touching song, i used to listen to it a lot. you’re stuck in what feels like a cycle. you don’t feel like yourself. you don’t know why, but it’s because you’re currently in a state where you HAVE to work through this. it isn’t gonna last much longer, but whenever you can take a break.

don’t overwhelm yourself, but also don’t always step back. don’t forget what you need to do. always work as hard as you can, but do not neglect yourself. and i know that is SUCH a hard reading and a complicated situation, but you will find it. you will find the balance, the key. it will work out. i’m rooting for u, pile 3.

extra signs/confirmation: chaotic life, in school or uni, being really tired, neglecting work, working long hours, not prioritizing time, sad rap, lil peep, black jacket, hopeless, helpless, not allowing yourself to find a solution, finding distractions, never doing what needs to be done until the last minute, “why is nothing working?” hyper fixating on self-pleasure and manifestation instead of what also needs to be done.

Pile IV — To See

hello pile 4! i hope you’re doing well! i feel the need to mention that ive been seeing 444 a lot, but 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️

your energy is every much “the knight in shining armor”, the one who always wants to save and help others — usually neglecting themselves in the process. you stand up for those being bullied, possibly because you were bullied in the past and feel for them. you don’t want people to be broken down like you (and i relate so much — this pile lowkey feels like a callout)

your issue is that you’re holding onto the past, and allowing it to control you. u may say “i let go of that a long time ago”, well there’s a part you’re holding onto and you know it. i feel like exposure therapy may be good for you — ask someone you trust to put you in a similar situation and try to react now. like not as you were, but as you are.

spirit is saying to get over this, you must find balance and peace within yourself. you may have never gotten an apology, never gotten help, or never opened up, but you need to seek it now. cut off the past. it isn’t your friend — and it will not change. don’t allow acknowledgment to take control of you. knowing is not accepting.

that’s all i have for u pile 4!! i hope all goes well, and after you get over this and find balance, i feel like it’s going to come to you immediately. you may not even know you got out the situation!

song bc i forgot to do it earlier 💀💀

extra signs/confirmation: aries, ray of sunshine, false energy (putting our positive energy although you are feeling negatively — specifically got a visual of golden/yellow energy with grey in the center), yellow energy, spontaneous, growth is required, growth is coming, pain, ribs (?), getting over an ex, boys a liar (original).

what’s limiting you is your need for control ALL THE TIME

Pile V — Death’s Harvest

hello pile 5! i hope you’re doing well!! this is probably one of the most intense piles based off the name, but we’ll see!! your energy is very much “i’m in control, i am the man” with king of cups coming out. also kinda getting u have ur head in the clouds, and you don’t rlly see things as they are, but as u want them to be.

what’s limiting you is your need for control. you want it took much, so you have decided “i’ll just ignore everything i don’t like!” which isn’t good. you have to acknowledge the things you don’t like and find a way to change them. don’t just ignore them — stop trying to deny thing are bad? because they ARE.

to get out of this energy, you need to clear the plate. literally. you nee to decide “this isn’t fo me, i’m not having it.” and dump the table. i feel like you know how to do this, but you won’t. decide to do it, stop carrying what you don’t need. very clear message, pile 5!!! i hope all goes well :)

extra signs/confirmation: “i cleaned the plate” (u threw it in the trash), talkative guides, yapper, lots of love. your guides love you, but they really need you to know that this isn’t for you., braggy, injury (smth w a p), health issues, tiara, “homosapien, homosexual”, devil town by cavetown.

Pile VI — Earth’s Hello

hi pile 6!! you guys have such a calming energy, i must say, and i love it. i get an image of blue and green, obviously in relationship to earth. you may he a motherly figure, or someone that people can talk to easily.

what’s holding you back is “bitching and moaning, but not working.” you want things to work, but you won’t take that action. you want something, but all you do is sit and wait for it to happen. it’s like sitting at a bus stop but never standing up to get on the bus.

you’re letting yourself rot. your potential is draining out of you second by second. and i don’t think it’s truly because youre lazy or burnt out, but it’s out of confusion. dont know what to do, but because of that, you wont do anything. if you’re confused, ask for help, dont just decide to give up.

your advice is to cut down your options and hyper focus on ONE activity. don’t allow everything in your mind to jumble up at once, give yourself space to work and think. you can’t sit there forever and expect your manifestations to just fall in your lap when you don’t even have hope.

extra signs/confirmation: i felt like blood in my throat? it smelled like blood and it kinda hurt on my left side, babies, pointy shoes, TV by billie eilish, paralysis, overwhelmed, “you’ve got this!”, babies (again), not working when you need to, 777, the letter T.

Pile VII — All Seeing Cat

hii pile 7! let’s get straight in. your energy can be very calming. you’re a hard working and you work until you get the rewards. you’re not someone who gives up — you hold on until the end. u know that there’s a cycle, a method, and a way to get through it. although it hurts, you continue to push through! that’s so good!! i’m so proud of u pile 7! also you got 7 of pentacles for ur energy. which i think is kinda 777 bc of pile 7 yk but wtv. i also js saw 777!!

your limitation is your emotion and your need for emotional and even romantic attention. i feel like this so something you struggle with on and off — and so do i 😭😭 i asked for a song for clarification, and got mad hatter by melanie martinez.

you’re not in the best mindset and you know this! so why do you keep trying to go after this romantic attraction? push back these feelings, pretend they aren’t there — because they aren’t serving you. the right person will come when you need them.

for now, rely on friends and family rather than romantic interest. like i told pile 2(i think) slowly distance yourself, don’t just cut them off.

extra signs/confirmation: the colour purple, alice in wonderland (obviously), cups cards, emotional, back and forth, mood swings, “emotional wreck”, confused, “need for validation, delusions, center of attention, “attention whore.”

Pile VIII — New Awakening

hiii pile 8!!! 8 is the number of balance, and that’s what i’m praying for this year — balance and fulfillment. your energy is very joyful — you possibly have a yellow aura. but along with this yellow, you feel very alone. you feel distant from everyone — like you have nobody to talk to, nothing to do.

pile 8, you are not alone. you need to surrender these feelings to move forward — confide in someone. be straight up and honest. don’t hold it back anymore — TELL SOMEONE.

twisted by missio came on (cringy ass song, iykyk) and i feel like you may be saying “well they already know, so they won’t help. but they may not know the extent of it. really sit them down and talk them through it, because if you just keep it inside it’s going to be harder.

spirit is also saying “complete the goals you’ve set for yourself”. you may possibly be a fighter and you have a LOT you want to do. finish those things before deciding to move on. it could also be confirmation that your maifestations may come in before you even really confide in someone — because it could be a multiple day process.

extra signs/confirmation: gacha life (💀💀), confusion, bottled up emotions, loniness, depression, black sphere, the colour blackc, “how do i get out of here?”, spirals, 333, energetic and outgoing person, not taking yourself seriously, “do you guys ever think about dying? “ — barbie, “i can be everything i want to be!”, barbie, childhood dreams, online friends, life of the party, friendly, feeling like a fake friend, dance the night from barbie.

Pile IX — Life from Death

hi pile 9!! lotta true crime by penelope scott came on as i was finishing pile 8, and i felt like that was important to mention. the intro beat has been stuck in my head for the past few days so!! you may listen to a lot of true crime too!! lmao

you don’t have a solid sense of self, and ie always seems to be changing. from your world view to the way you style your hair — you’re having issues finding yourself. you may have traveled the world, seen so much, and heard so many opinions, but you don’t know where you fit in. you’re everywhere but nowhere, like 9 — that’s what you think. you’re lost with yourself.

when i asked for what’s limiting you, it’s the mindset that “this isn’t for me anymore.. it isn’t worth it.” it that’s literally because you feel like you don’t have any control. you do have control, pile 9. you just have to find the areas in which you do — don’t be self destructive.

oh ana by mother mother also came on and i feel like that may be an important song to this pile.

your advice is exactly what i said — find places which you have power over. do you like painting? paint what you feel!! don’t act like nothing is going your way — and if it is, THEN MAKE IT.

that’s all i have for u pile 9!

extra signs/confirmation: mother mother, red and orange, fire, childhood, death, being lonely, recent breakup, night to day, dancer/just dance, afraid, sick, vomiting, elita.

i hope you enjoy this pap!! i really hope this resonates and works out. i am hoping the best for each and every pile — and i pray that everything works out. no matter if it takes days or years — it will happen. i promise. i am living proof.

much love, abyss.

hi!! i just wanted to pop in and say that what you’re doing here is amazing and you’re doing a great job! i know it’s easier said than done, but try not to let all the negativity get to you. take it all with a grain of salt, you can’t please everyone and i think we’re all forgetting that this is supposed to be fun for everyone, including you. you’re not getting paid for this, you’re not required to do it, but you do it because it’s fun and you want to!

don’t fret too much about the ties and the team ups because honestly? based on the way everyone voted this year, 2AL + SLAU probably would’ve tied anyways and people still would’ve found something to be upset about.

this is supposed to be fun!! you’re supposed to have fun!!! it’s a silly little competition with no real consequences! i think everyone needs to take a deep breath and remember that, otherwise we might not get to do this again (which would be totally understandable, this year was a lot)

i really like your writing advice, especially around repression and emotions!💗 do you have any tips for writing sexy stuff?🫠

YAY I'm glad you liked it😊 I'm putting the whole thing under a cut this time because uhhh because I feel like it.

Firstly, writing smut is really really difficult (for me, at least), and what's considered "good" is so sooo subjective--the exact same sentence could be hot to one person and completely cringe to another. There's really no way to make everyone happy, and there's "right" or "wrong" way to write, so just have fun and do what feels right to you!

Second, I think what I said here about emotions and repression also applies to writing about sex--to me, describing what a particular sensation feels like or how someone's body reacts to something makes the story feel more immersive.

Here are some other things I've found helpful:

1. Trying to avoid overly-clinical terms for body parts. I don't want people to feel like they're reading somebody's gynecological health chart instead of smut (that might kill me. actually.) so I don't go for words like "vagina" or god forbid "mons pubis." Personally it's really easy for me to think of words I don't like, and a lot harder to find words I do like, so at this point I just try to get away with not actually giving the genitalia a name at all--I just describe them. Not sure how effective this is, or if people like it, but I'm doing it anyway🤷‍♀️

2. Remembering that it's about the entire body, not just what's going on between the legs. Skin gets extra sensitive, people get flushed, they sweat, their heartbeats accelerate. Adding little details like that make sex scenes both more realistic AND hotter, at least in my opinion. Like I said, everything is subjective, and opinions vary wildly!

3. Keeping track of where the limbs are at all times!! It's really easy to get carried away and accidentally give characters extra hands or make them bend in ways that aren't possible for the majority of humans. I usually pick through sex scenes with a fine-tooth comb several times to catch any stray legs and fingers, and have been known to pace around making various obscene hand gestures until I'm confident that the logistics make sense. Don't worry about it👀

4. Remembering that unless they're total strangers just hooking up for fun, there's going to be some sort of emotion involved. Maybe the characters love each other, maybe they hate each other, maybe they hate themselves, maybe one of them has unrequited feelings and it's tearing them up inside. I think that describing the emotional aspect of sex goes a long way in making things feel realistic without subtracting from the Hotness Factor.

I hope this helps!! And remember that I don't really know anything about anything, I am but a mite living on a grain of sand floating through the big dark universe, so you don't have to listen to me. Also you're the only one who gets to decide if your writing is good💖

#if you're a minor....please ignore this. also you should unfollow me. i swear it's not personal #i'm 5 billion years old and i just don't feel comfortable with it SORRY #also again: i'm not an expert and i think my writing is peepee poopoo dummydisgusting a good 70% of the time #so take what i say with a large grain of salt. like rock-sized.#asks #anonymous

Curious about your interpretation of Pharma if you wanna share!! :D

I haven't engaged with the source material for a while and i've never been good at putting my thoughts about characters into words so bear with me here, but basically i think pharma's arc is the downfall of a character who wanted to do the right thing, but who was kind of a hypocrite with certain biases from the start (see his hatred for and discrimination against ambulon) so he leaned more into this hypocrisy when he ended up getting cornered and instead of choosing to fight and do the right thing he leaned even more into this kind of horrible persona that commits all those horrible acts until that's really what he thinks he has become. He chose the easy way out because it was the most convenient option for himself but not those around him and when there was no going back to being the good doctor anymore he decided to sort of "let loose" because what else does he have to lose?

#sorry i'm really not good at putting this into words but these are my general thoughts on him #of course that's just my interpretation so please take it with a grain of salt #like i do realize this interpretation doesn't show as much sympathy for his actions as a lot of peope seem to have so i have to say again #that i really do like him i just see his actions in a different light than what i've seen from other popular interpretations #ask #anon

I have seen some cisgender people confused who are lesbian, gay, or straight when it comes to dating nonbinary people.

So hi, I'm Louie & I'm a fem nonbinary person! I also have a boyfriend who is straight but I'm gonna help clear up things (hopefully).

☆ミ Disclaimer ☆ミ

Please take my words with a grain of salt because every experience is absolutely different & this is my own personal experience including my own interpretation of it as well. Please don't use this as like full evidence & do ask around people who are also in a similar spot to gain a little more of a idea. I'm not responsible for what you do. Please don't sue me. Thank yewwww :3 - Louie

Being in relationships are complicated. They always will be but you can always make things less complicated by just asking & having a conversation about it with your partner!

My boyfriend, let's call him "N" for the rest of this for convenience, loves me for who I am. However, N does struggle using my preferred pronouns (They/Them) but it doesn't mean he loves me any less. He still tries & that matters because it shows that he cares & respects my identity. This information is also kinda new to N since I told him before we started dating (Which was not long ago). Everyone's experiences is different so I'm just sharing mine to give you a bit of a example.

I was scared of telling him that I was nonbinary because I was really scared of him not loving me but I was wrong because he loved me anyway.

However, this may not be the case for everyone. People tend to be a bit more accepting of someone being of someone's sexuality than someone's gender which sucks. It's also scary as well when you fall in love with someone that potentially harm you with that information especially when you're closeted. So when it comes to telling someone you're apart of the nonbinary spectrum, people make it even more complicated than it should be.

Telling someone you love that you are not a girl or not a boy is hard because of the multiple consequences that come from it & we wish it was just a simple "I understand :]" but it's not.

So I'm gonna tell you what you can do if they don't accept you:

Break up

Which kinda sounds very harsh as hell but it's one of the many truths that you gotta handle. You cannot force someone to accept you because not everyone is going to. You are going have to just move on which is not easy for anyone. You should never change who you are for someone. Relationships should make you feel safe, welcomed, & feel like warm home that you can always come to when needed comfort.

However if your partner refuses to provide you that & neglect your identity that makes you "you"? Then you gonna have to find someone else that will love you for who you are.

Now the cis people in the audience lemme tell you something:

If you are uncomfortable with dating a nonbinary person, that's 100% okay as long you're respectful of their identity.

This doesn't make you a dick. People in the comments are definitely gonna come at me for this but like I said "my opinion my rules" & if you don't like it, find someone else to listen to. No one should force you into a relationship that you're uncomfortable with. Everyone in that relationship should feel like a equal not a slave to a relationship that you're not happy with. However, this is no excuse of you being a asshole.

Be respectful to someone's identity.

"If I accept their identity & continue this relationship with them, does this make me gay/straight?"

It depends how you see it. In my opinion, if ya straight, then you're straight. If ya gay, then ya gay. Dating a nonbinary person doesn't change your sexuality but if it does make you uncomfortable, that's completely up to you. That's how I see it.

"How can I help my nonbinary partner feel comfortable?"

First of all, that's what I like to see & it's always good to assure your partner that you're there for them. Second of all, you can always ask your partner what's wrong & if you're not sure what to ask, some nice neutral questions would be:

"What can I do help you?"

"How can I help you?"

Otherwise, do what you can to help your partner. That being asking other nonbinary people about their experiences or just using the information found on the internet. However, take everything with a grain of salt.

In conclusion:

Please make nonbinary people feel accepted without being a dickhead. Make sure they have space to make them be safe for who they are because they are people out there that hurt, harm, kill people like us. So the least you can do is just make me feel like me.

- Louie

Some stuffs from CLAMP Commentary today that I still remember:

For Vol. 3's cover, they actually designed so Seishiro would be the one sitting and Subaru is the one standing! They actually changed the order because the heights looked off and with Seishiro sitting, he truly looked like a mafia boss and Subaru as his underlings 😭 also they actually added... cuffs? Idk how to call it around the righ arm and left leg, but scrapped it.

Vol. 3 is about the public phone. They actually searched the exact spot for the public telephones. Talk about dedication. Not only that, one of the members actually went to fortune tellers to get her fortune read for references. Another reason why you should read this manga, they really pictured the actual thing here.

For Vol. 4's cover, there are two designs for it with Subaru sitting on the top of something Hokuto standing, but since they were twins, it would look either cuter or better if they stand next to each other. Also I can't with them saying "we discussed if it's okay to give Subaru high heels and we are permitted to. It's good to see a boy with high heels" and I was like '???? 😭😭😭😭😭😭???? Thank you??'

For the content, I remembered they pointed out several fashions point for Hokuto that they actually bought some for the sake of references.

They also discussed Vol. 5 and 6 designs. For Vol. 5, they only drew one draft and get forward with it. 😂 But for Vol. 6, they showed around 4 designs and actually wanted to go forward with Hokuto and Subaru sitting next to each other (and Hokuto wore buns hairstyle too!). But someone from the publisher I think reminded them that the pose is actually used in XXXHolic CPC volume 8 (Yuuko and Jorougumo) so they said "okay, sorry 😭" and scrapped that one. Eventually they went along with the announced version.

Oh! Talking about volume 5, they actually mentioned about Seishiro's shoulders in both volume 3 and 5. They said that they drew it like that because they just liked it, no other specific reasons, and it can't be helped that they want to add the cape for Volume 5 thus the view from the back. It won't be as board as it was in original TB and X but when you see him in Vol 3 draft sketch, you can see that they are probably around Kurogane's or Fuuma's in TRC. Mokona-sensei is doing her best.

They also talked about the color arrangements for the volumes. I didn't catch this part well because I'm doing something else, but they thought the orange should be volume 4 and pink is volume 6.

After that, they showed the telephone cards (it was a thing in Vol 3 actually) with TB's characters. Also the original cover printing from volume one to seven. They also showed the acrylic stand if you bought all seven volumes.

Finally, for announcement, they won't do commentary for Vol 5 and 6 (thus they talked about it in today's live) but they are going to think about it after Vol 7's (pre-order?) release. They also said to wait for the next CPC announcement, I mean, we only have two months left and I think TB's CPC was announced like 2 months before final Holic's releases. As much I hope it would be X they probably won't do it so soon. I mean please it will be their anniversary soon and CPC will be a good way to actually finish the series. Like PLEASE I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE REST UNREVEALED THREE VOLUMES.

That's it from today! I think the final cover will Subaru solo, also a good point to close the series (with the stuff going on in that volume), and move on to another series... Waiting until Subaru's another appearance in possibly X's cover 🤧

Edit: I saw the rough sketches for Vol 3 again and the shoulders didn't exist 😂 Is it really shoulder pads?

#i will probably do this again when im sane enough #their lives are fun actually #i listened to their spaces #and todays one is so funny #when they mentioned about seishiro and said it cant be helped i held my laugh #please watch the live to see the references!#clamp #tokyo babylon #please take this with a grain of salt

Ok, hear me out but crazy thought somehow

What if we time traveled ?

Like story wise, everyone is theorizing how grim is probably the undefeatable beast we fought in the beginning of the game.

If that's true, since it was undefeatable what if NRC cast lost? And let's say hypothetically, malleus joined the overblot bcs something happened to 'yuu' bcs strength wise, only malleus is able to probably go against it, right? Or crowley but it's either he's the instigator or he's just being useless as usual Or there's something that stops malleus from fighting against the undefeatable beast Insert grim-malleus-relatives theories. Or other reasons like maybe twst cast is not united enough to fight together against it and win through the power of friendship !

Then in hopes of changing that we time traveled back through time but without the memories or recollection of that timeline except for the scene of us fighting the undefeatable beast.

And then the 'visions' or 'dreams' that we see in the mirror and 'mickey' are the clues regarding how each dorm overblots will turn out, since if there wasn't anything like a clue or idea then the time travelling would've been useless

Idk it doesn't seem feasible but if polished even more I think it could be a great plot twist

It's my first time theorizing so pls don't hurt me if ever I'm wrong

#I woke up from 15min nap and wrote this #please #take this with a grain of salt #disney twisted wonderland #twst #Nurse she's awake #I'm going to sleep again #thank you for coming to my ted talk #pls don't hurt me #twisted wonderland #disney twst

not entirely sure just how true this is to other cultures' beliefs, but at least from where my family's from, i grew up hearing a lot of stories about when buddha was born and took his first steps barefoot, lotuses would blossom with each step he took and even

which is why i love the possible nod to that story in kusanali's model?? like if you look carefully, flowers follow where she walks, and she's also barefoot too !

#genshin rambles #just my little thought #there's a lot of overlap just because of buddhism so ngl it has been a little fun to see certain things and go OMG WAIT I KNOW THIS ???#but as someone who is also an immigrant's child there's a fair amount of diaspora that goes into it #so i might not be like as well versed as say someone who is from the area #but hey at least i'm trying to connect haha #but that is at least what i see for myself anyways !#now i still haven't actually /met/ kusanali in the game (because i'm lost in mondstadt AND watatsumi/enkanomiya presently--)#but little details like that /does/ make me more excited to see more of her character #but anyways lol #again please take this with like a grain of salt; i'm only aware of some stories from when i was growing up and even then #many cultures different stories. all that sort of ordeal #another funny thing since i'm here #it is soooo funny to run around sumeru and accidentally run into an npc w my sisters name #im half expecting my name will turn up too given its a pretty common one in the area

most boys could be improved with a little nail polish bit thomas bordeleau especially. like what is not clicking for him that he hasn’t done it already my god

EX 👏 ACT 👏 LY you understand. i saw this post one time and simply never looked back so without further ado here are the top ten nail polishes, in no particular order, that i think thomas bordeleau should try:

1. sally hanson xtreme wear in 140 rockstar pink

we’re starting with this one because i previously mentioned it in another post, and, while i think thom gives the vibes of a single color natural nail mani, i like this one because it’s one polish that’s multicolor—dark pink glitter with a little bit of blue to call in the sjs and the baby blue suit he was wearing. also, glitter nail polishes will last you FOREVER

2. chanel le vernis in 339 cassis

also have to start out by including my closest approximation to the nail polish in the photo that started this all. i love the sheerness of this polish, which means it can be more unobtrusive and a little blink-and-you’ll-miss-it barely-there detail or more prominent with more layers

3. gucci glossy in 715 winterset snow

personally i don’t often go for a white nail but i think borde would like something very crisp and clean (white does look nice on him). however, i think his white and/or cream needs to be a little cooler and not as much on the yellow side, which made finding this polish difficult but like. what else was i doing today (so many things)

4. les mains hermès in 85 rouge h

we have solid evidence that borde loooves a good maroon moment and i did specifically pick hermès (no idea why. fancy? would appeal to him?). love the cooler tones in this red for him and i heavily debated giving him this really deep rich purple (violet byzantin) of the same style of polish but we can work up to wearing that one

5. cirque colors x live. love. polish in puttin’ on the ritz

while i know the first color on here is literally a fine glitter, To Me thomas bordeleau is a chunky glitter gorl. it’s got artsy details, a bunch of different types of glitter, it’s iridescent, it can be layered, i’m in love with it. it will match any outfit thom i promise

6. maniology in b333 gold rush

imho i would wear more silver jewelry to compliment the cool tones he likes to wear BUT. borde almost always sports gold (honestly not bad wrt bringing out the california tan, it doesn’t wash him out) so i am giving him a boring, but very specific metallic not-too-yellow-or-light-or sparkly gold nail color. sorry. just paint one nail and use it like an accent or for french tips for spice, idk bud you’re the hand model here and i am simply an incredibly picky art director

7. àuda.b in my cactus

i love how vibrant this green is, i love the finish on it, i think we could convince thom to branch out into more jewel tones and pastels. also yes i picked this to match his houseplants

8. nails.inc caught in the nude in hawaii beach & boy de chanel in 404 black

i have a lot of shiny and glittery finishes on this list and i reeeeally wanted to throw in a matte finish so. this is a two for one because i couldn’t find a matte version of this chocolate brown that i really liked for him but also i’m giving him a special matte black polish because to me these are both neutrals

9. mooncat in millennia

this one just looks dope. i feel like he would like the chrome effect to it? it is more high effort because it’s a magnetic polish, but also given that he loves juicewrld now i think i could swing this one on that basis alone (it’s the same colors as legends never die).

10. zoya in zp797 cecilia

how could i make this list and not include a pacific teal nail polish for the san jose sharks 🦈 this also would be stunning as a pop of color to accent his grey game day suits just saying

ok if you made it to the end of this i love you ✨ thank you for coming to my ill-advised impromptu ted talk @ thom please paint ur nails and also confirm or deny whether you have pierced your ears thank you

#please take all opinions with a grain of salt #at the point where i am simply Inventing a man thomas bordeleau is not real i made him up #nail polish is soooo gender to me sometimes #i have spoken at length but i forever will say that thom = chipped mani natural nails #like the worst part of this is that i could actually see him painting his nails for a look & i want it so baddd #also you don’t escape having a little sister without having your nails painted at least once in your life like thom please what don’t u get #@ thomas bordeleau paint your nails 💅#thomas bordeleau my worstie my hatred spirit my incorrigible terrible meow meow #liv in the replies #me haggard finally reaching the tags again after Quite Some Time like ah. fun! what was i saying at first in these?#if i were like. normal this post would not have taken me over three hours to write because i had stupid specific Visions of nail polish #i am sooooo picky so so sooooo picky akdjskndkahdi thom please take my recs i think they would look nice on you also i like them #ok also i mentioned the juice wrld thing and i’m not getting into it now but 😶 the indescribable faces i just made #also i know i made a little nail thing for trevor of nails i think he would wear but i need to find the tags so i can sort them together lol #baby blue shades 🦋🐬🫧💎🛼#please amend my prior tags to four and a half hours and everyone pray for my sleep schedule because. she f**ked

I’m going through my copy of The Lady Tars and this was just incredible.

William Brown (birth name is unknown) may have been the first black woman to serve in the British Royal Navy. While the book here says Brown served for 11 years as captain of the maintop (others say capt. of the foretop), there’s another conflicting account that has her rated as a landsman in the ship’s muster. The Times wrote about her and this is the main source that she was a foretopman. The paper also says that Brown intended to enlist again as a volunteer and it’s completely plausible she did. However, it’s completely unknown either way. What is known indisputably is there was a young black woman from Granada going by the name of William Brown serving on the H.M.S. Queen Charlotte in 1815.

#ripping my hair out coz yes. there was a woman going by William Brown in the navy in 1815 #but that’s about all that can be verified #and the fact that there’s this conflicting account from The Times drives me up the walls #I want these people to have been better remembered and personally that’s where the genuine tragedy lies #did she re-enlist? did she have prize money? did she serve for a few weeks or over a decade??#more than likely she wasn’t a capt. of the main or foretop #especially if she really did only serve for a short period #there’s just a sadness in it that we don’t even know her story or really anything about her #that’s why I’ve been reading about all the polly olivers in the navy #but yeah. incredible that she even DID that #I hope she lived a good life #that’s all. I don’t like wild speculation when researching historical persons as tempting as it can be #so I only hope and wish the rest of her life was a good one #also it’s just so important to know these stories or what we can learn of them #a man (or woman) is only dead when their name is no longer spoken #I want to help keep these women alive for as long as I can #also PLEASE double check your sources! I ran into a few instances where person A just makes stuff up about person B’s findings so. please.#I don’t like making assumptions based on what *I* want to be true either so again. there’s very little known about her so take all this #with a few grains of salt #william brown #age of sail #history #women in the navy #(also frustrating coz William Brown was/is a pretty common name…)#I found a couple of other sources talking about her so I’m gonna see if there’s ANYTHING else I can find out #black history #I’ll come back to this and write it clearer. I’m running on fumes #also should add that The Lady Tars is a compilation of auto/biographies of 3 women and this is just from the foreword #but I need to nap rn

So I have a thing I'd like to discuss.

This is one of those things where I was rooting around, found some weird shit, and now I'm just. Now I need to have this discussion. Are we ready for this discussion? I'm not really sure if we're ready for it, but we are going to have it.

This is a thing about some folk's pinned "about me" posts, which I totally understand having, but only to a certain extent. That extent ends at the point where people, however unintentionally, begin to police other people. And I've just gotta add my two cents to this matter.

A disclaimer before I piss people off: no, I am not encouraging any person to go out and say or do things against people who may do this. Everyone is entitled to have their own opinion or way of doing something, and regardless of intention there is no excuse on this earth to justify bullying or harassing an individual. I am not saying this to call out anyone, merely the concept at hand in which some may find themselves or people around them to use. In Tumblr specifically, this is far from an uncommon thing, so again I will clarify: I am labelling and observing a possible problem, not judging a person specifically. This is not meant to be taken personally or vengefully. And if it is taken as such, you are more than welcome to leave this post alone and keep scrolling.

Are we ready to discuss this now? Okay. We need to talk about this.

"Other people's opinions are not your place to control." Because of this fact, I am struggling to understand why some individuals choose to have long and oddly specific lists of DNI (or "do not interact") asking for specific groups of people to not be near them, when this - just in and of itself - serves no functional purpose whatsoever.

Some DNI things, yes, I get that. If you are there for a specific thing (let's say, hats), you probably don't want people to come into your space with other or unrelated things (like, the strawberry market), or especially things you find hurtful (like the pointy sticks club). No one wants to be harassed or bullied over something they enjoy.

However, there is a big difference between asking that people not leave you specific things, and demanding that other people step around your barriers.

If your first thought in response to that was "but people should RESPECT my boundaries!", Yes, but, you must understand: people can respect boundaries, when they misstep and you ask them to please mind the signs, but you cannot blatantly tell people what to do and what not to do, especially in a space that is open to the public.

What other people do, ultimately, is none of your business. It is not your responsibility. Do you know what IS your responsibility? What YOU do, how you respond - or don't respond - and your decisions are entirely yours to control.

This is why I struggle to understand particularly lengthy DNI listings. This does not serve any beneficial purpose of the user. This only informs a viewer - a person capable of making the decision for themselves whether to 'comply' or not. And that's just the thing. Any person, especially the people most say not to interact with them, do not care. Nothing is physically stopping them from existing near you, following, favoriting, etc. Don't want racist people? Guess what, most racist people don't even consider themselves to be racist, and even if they do, they don't give a rat's ass about your warning. It will not phase them. Worse, the more you scream "I do not want racist people", the more people will question your exact definitions of racism, and either A. Walk away feeling skeptical, or B. Challenge your position, in an often not so friendly manner.

There are exceptions. Some DNI warnings I do understand. Nothing in this world is ever truly black or white, and there are some key instances where DNI labels can be beneficial, for example an adult-oriented blog warning people under the age of eighteen not to engage, or a specific kind of shipper who would prefer not to involve themselves with 'fandom politics' as they would prefer to mind their own business and not be exhausted by heated debate. These may be in place for important legal reasons, or personal preferences which may just not be what a person is interested in. If I liked oranges, I sure don't know if I would want to have lengthy discussions about limes when I just came here for oranges.

I do get some of these things. But there are understandable zones, and there are less understandable zones, in a spectrum of subjective scale. Asking people to complete a checklist in order to interact with you may be considered quite a bit excessive, and unfortunately, also attracts the very thing it seeks to deter. Do not seek to be the kid with the piece of paper on his back that reads "DON'T BE MEAN TO ME" who is still bullied often, when you could be the kid who goes about his day, and when confronted with a painful jab, asks the person to please stop. This is the difference between a mature adult in control of their actions, and an immature tattle-tale who only wishes to gratify himself by making others favor him.

Taking control of yourself first is an extremely powerful tool of self-regulation - and self-love. You are better than this bad question about grapefruit - and you have the power to delete that. Just trying to control the rules of the world around you without putting in your effort to clean your own actions is a clear sign you yourself are not in control.

And by all means, take this from someone who has to be reminded of these things regularly. As someone with post-traumatic stress disorder for the last three years, I have had to slowly and painfully master the ways of controlling my own environment, as opposed to telling the environment how to be around me. I have been using filter tags which pick up many things that I would otherwise scroll right into and have flashbacks and panic attacks over. This is not something I ask other people to do for me, I don't expect people to bend over backwards for my triggers towards oddly specific things. If it happens, I am sure it is an accident. If it is not an accident, I have the power to block and remove them without needing to cause a ruckus. That is my own priority, and if they bring it to me, it is my priority to choose to step away from it.

Somewhere down the road, people are just going to be mean. Expect that. It's one of the many aspects of the world. Life is going to be mean. We can either choose to sit in learned helplessness, dictating the leaves drifting past us for wandering too close, or we can create our own ways of dealing with it, by getting up and making the change we need to feel safer and happier. I know the latter requires more work. But having a sliver of control and confidence in yourself is the key to becoming the greatest self possible.

#I rambled again #rant #dni rant #dni discussion post #please take this with a grain of salt
