written as a thematic successor to this Dionysian prayer by Underflow of Dreamwidth, guided mostly by vibes and personal goals rather than sticking to the exact theming and goal of the original prayer; posted for lack of anything better to do with a typed-up version. color-coding should be obvious but if you're not sure what it's for... well, guess, that's half the point.
Odin, wise one, concealer, maddener,
who knows many secrets best left alone
Loki, sly one, lie-smith, tester of the mind,
who weaves trickery three feet deep
Blood-brothers, swift talkers, decievers
who can choose to reveal that which is disguised
Odin, twice-blind, flaming-eyed,
Loki, knot-tyer, thought-tryer,
I call to you now, who arrive like the hawk and the raven
Odin, old one, advantage counsel, who can see the truth
guide me to truth as well - awaken me to myself
Odin, wanderer, show me the path that I should walk
Loki, tangler, tree of deceit, clever-tongue with stitched lips,
Unwind for me the lies in my mind - unknot secrets from their roosts
Loki, spider, show me what threads rattle and what lies still
Grant me revelation, that which lies behind the illusion
Grant me direction, point my feet through darkness
Grant me clear sight, past deception and lies, Blind One, guide my eyes
Send me cleverness, with which to uncover and discover
And let me borrow fortune, luck, victory, and the strength to see and do
Loki, mischief-maker, give me sly words; and Odin, wise one, remind me when not to speak
Weather-maker, earth-shaker, father of songs, hearth-warmer and bright fire,
Send me discovery, give me uncovery, show me to the truth and how to see it; guide me over dangerous paces and the obscurations of night
And show me into interesting times.

There's bipartisan talks in US Congress to send back all Palestinians (yes even US born ones) back to Palestine via a bill
In my opinion every single member of Congress and staff showing support for the idea need to be removed from office, have their hard drives investigated, and banned from all levels of public service and public office until further notice.
Palestinans don't want to leave home, but Congress using US tax payer dollars to fund Israel to murder all Palestinians regardless of religion (yes, some of the Christian families who's ancestors knew Jesus Christ personally who had been living in Palestine have had their bloodlines fully eradicated) or ethnic status (there are US citizens who are mixed that have been unaccounted for or trapped in the bombing zone) is why Palestinians are US citizens and permanent residents in the first place.
Israel has universal health care, education, and access to US weapons because of Congress lying and gas lighting US tax payers about their spending. There would be no Israel if the US never got involved in the first place. And the majority of US citizens bipartisanly don't want to fund Israel at all at any level - we want our money to go to our infrastructure. It's ridiculous to suggest a mass deportation that would solve nothing the US masses want and only hurt more innocents.
Let it be known- that bill and backing it is an admission of guilt for the enthic cleaning and genocide of the Palestinians by the US government- US Congress is okay with sending unarmed civilians (even US citizens) to their deaths to hide their crimes.

It's here. The long-awaited bug DTIYS.
I've changed some stuff. It's not a contest anymore - that means no prize - but it also means no deadline. I wanted something more casual, since I haven't been online in a while, and I thought the idea of deciding on a winner would be too stressful, so it's just for fun now.
I'll be reblogging all the entries, so make sure to tag me. Also use the tag #bnydtiys2 so we can keep everything in one place.
Here's the 'rules':
Redraw the original image in your own style (no tracing etc).
Use them tags.
You can change the background if you don't want to do the bug wing, or change the posing slightly, but try an keep it recognisable. Keep the colour theme cause I think it looks sick and the tag will look so nice if everything's got a splash of yellow yippee.
No deadline so take as long as you like. Take years if you so wish. If I'm still alive then and haven't succumbed to Tummy Hurt, I will give it a reblog.
Don't worry about quality. If you're not usually an artist but still want to participate, go for it. There's no prize.
If you'd rather me not reblog your entry, just say so in the tags. Say something like 'bny if you reblog this i'll say mean things about your tarantula' and that'll definitely catch my attention.
Have fun. Or don't, you can scream the whole way through if you'd prefer.
You don't have to follow me it's not like I'm gonna check.

I JUST HAD A GEINUS IDEA AND I NEED TO PUT THIS DOEN SOMEWHERE B4 I FORGET
So I was thinking how I would love an offical bfdi gaty plush to go with my two plush cause I have 2 & 4 currently. And then the marketing genius idea came, sooooo like yk that pink/salmon couch two and Gaty talk on so like I was thinking maybe if they make a Gaty plush they could do a limited time bundle that comes with 2 & gaty and like the bundle would come with like uh yk an origami couch that you could put 2 & gaty on when assembled like those little foldy things that (used?) To come with bfb plushes at some point idk if they still make them my 2 & 4 plushes didnt come with them idk. But yea that would be sooooo cool and I love them soosososos much so I would buy it even tho I already have the two plush cause they r just soo cool :3
This couch for reference

ffxiv garlemald discourse is so funny because people will go "ugh people just cant stand it when things aren't black and white" and then you look at how the empire are portrayed in stormblood and shadowbringers and its like hm. that seems like a pretty intense and accurate display of violent imperialism to me! Wow I wonder why people in this day and age may find it hard to feel sympathy for them or even hate them on principal. god its such a mystery.
the games like 50/50 to me on how it tackles these themes because I actually like the garlemald arc in EW, I think it has a lot of horrific and powerful scenes depicting how self destructive fascist propaganda and beliefs are, but I also think it doesn't go far enough on some fronts. the garleans' xenophobia is most notably and obstacle to getting them to accept the contingent's help, which is what they're there to do,
but there's never an admission of harm from any garleans on the uuuuuuuuh massive amount of war crimes the nations around them are still suffering from they're just kind of like "we misjudged you...but you actually wanted to help us all along" like yeah thats great now can we get you all some deprogramming because you keep talking about returning to your prime and glory days and I think we need to unpack some stuff you really SHOULDNT return to. im not even really talking about EW proper but the patches where things are a bit more chilled out and people are recovering.
It feels like they wanted to have their critique of imperialism and also have things end with the beauty of human connection and reaching out and these things just don't mesh well because hey a lot of your modern day audience is not gonna like having to treat people yelling xenophobic things at the cast and your character with kid gloves after you showed them hours and hours of the awful things these people's beliefs have done. especially in the present day hoo boy.

idk if this was a coincidence or i was an idiot but i recently realized that i also followed u on wattpad
long story short, i followed this blog for already quite a long time cause i love your edits but i only just followed u on wattpad recently (prob around the end of last year?), never really put 2 and 2 together until i saw u posting on wattpad about tumblr users booping e/o (we need the boops back permanently!!!)
that's also when i saw that u have a carrd linked on your profile and realized that this blog is also u when i was redirected here 💀
u literally have the same username on both sites but in my mind, everytime that there's just numbers or "aesthetic words" in the username, it's just gibberish for me and never really bother to remember unless blogs like yours pop up in my feed and made me remember
anyways i just feel like sharing this to u, it feels like a small world when i realized this about 2 weeks ago hahaha
i honestly didn't expect one of my wp followers to found me here 😭 (small world indeed) AHH BUT IM GLAD TO KNOW THAT THO!! Tysm for your support TT
(and yes we need the boops back 🙏)
